Get on Board! Discover the Beauty of the Oslo-Bergen Line

Discover the wonders of the Oslo-Bergen railway
Cover story for January 2010 issue of Viking Magzine

In 2009, the Oslo-Bergen railway celebrated its 100th birthday.

Still the highest mainline raillway in Northern Europe, the Oslo-Bergen line stands as a monument to the power of perseverance. Critics said that the terrain and climate were too extreme to support a railway, but men of indomitable will carved out a path and proved the naysayers wrong.

Today, the Oslo-Bergen line not only provides a vital and convenient link between Norway's two largest cities, it also offers travelers a chance to view fantastic scenery, including the longest fjord in the world.

Come along for the ride in this cover story for Viking Magazine, a publication of the Sons of Norway.

Poor Belgium often gets overlooked by European travelers jetting off to Paris, Berlin or Vienna.

But those who take the time to explore the charming cities of Brussels, Antwerp and Bruges will find artistic and culinary delights without battling the tourist hordes.

So admire the Chagall paintings in the Brussels Royal Museums of Fine Arts, have yourself a sugar-dusted waffle topped with whipped cream, visit the Antwerp studio of Peter Paul Rubens and see why picturesque Bruges is called the Venice of the North.

Get all the details in this travel feature for the Jewish Exponent.

Time Well Spent

Every minute a patient  suffers  from an untreated stroke, nearly two million brain cells die.

A clot-busting drug called tPA can reestablish blood flow and reduce brain damage - but only if it is administered within three hours of the stroke's occurence.

Time is of the essence, which is why Medical City Dallas Hospital has developed a "Code Stroke" process to administer all necessary tests as quickly as possible and administer tPA if appropriate within 60 minutes of the time a stroke patient enters the emergency room.

Get the full story in this feature article for the Spring 2009 issue of Medical City's own IN Mind Body Life magazine.
