Murphy named to first team, Dillard second team
COOKEVILLE, Tenn. – Tennessee Tech guard duo Kevin Murphy and Jud Dillard now have another postseason honor to shoulder in addition to first-team All-Ohio Valley Conference honors.
Murphy and Dillard were both All-District selections by the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) on Wednesday.
Murphy was named to the District 19 first team while Dillard earned a spot on District 19’s second team.
Murphy finished the season with a scoring average of 20.6 points, ranking him 10th in NCAA Division I. The Atlanta, Ga., native also grabbed 5.2 rebounds per contest, dished out 76 assists and snatched 28 steals while hitting 79 three-pointers and shooting 41.6 percent from long range.
He leaves Tech as the school’s second all-time leading scorer and all-time leader in games played.
Dillard averaged 17.3 points per game and led the OVC in rebounding in his junior campaign, collecting 8.5 boards per outing. The Riverdale, Ga., native shot 51.8 percent from the field and was a reliable 82.4 percent from the free-throw line.
The NABC’s District 19 consists of all OVC schools.
The rest of the District 19 first team consisted of Isaiah Canaan (Murray State), Donte Poole (Murray State), Tyler Stone (Southeast Missouri) and Robert Covington (Tennessee State).
The rest of the District 19 second team consisted of Marland Smith (Southeast Missouri), Jeremy Granger (Eastern Illinois), Leon Powell (Southeast Missouri) and Jaron Jones (Eastern Kentucky). | http://www.ttusports.com/sports/mbkb/2011-12/releases/3_14_nabc_district?dec=/printer-decorator | 2013-05-18T10:43:23 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Cook: iCloud has 100 million users, 3 million Apple TVs sold last year
Tim Cook spoke at the Goldman Sachs Technology and Internet Conference, and he's shared a few up-to-date numbers about a few of Apple's platforms and services. iCloud is probably where he shared the most fascinating insight: The service now boasts over 100 million users, which is a very sizable user base. I don't know offhand how many Apple accounts are out there, but that seems like a significant amount of growth for a service that's not all that old (although MobileMe customers were obviously migrated).
Apple TV is also growing -- we've already heard this year that it was big, but Cook says that Apple sold over 3 million set-top boxes last year, and a million last quarter already. He confirmed that the Apple TV was still just a "hobby" for the company, but noted Apple still wants to see more mainstream acceptance of the streaming media device before really dumping in.
We'll leave it up to your imagination as to what the Apple TV would be like if Apple decided it was a real market instead of a hobby. Finally, Cook also pointed out that Apple is growing at a gigantic rate in the developing world, earning twenty times the income from previous years in developing tech nations like Asia, India, Eastern Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. It certainly sounds like Cook has confidently moved into a leadership role at Apple -- not only are things going great, but he definitely has a plan for the | http://www.tuaw.com/2012/02/14/cook-icloud-has-100-million-users-3-million-apple-tvs-sold-las/ | 2013-05-18T10:54:15 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

The following is a news release from the University of Arizona.
Astronomers are watching the astronomical equivalent of streaming live video of a spectacular outburst from the unstable, behemoth double-star system Eta Carinae, which initially was seen on Earth nearly 170 years ago.
Dubbed the "Great Eruption," the outburst lasted from 1837 to 1858 and caught the attention of sky-watchers at the time, including the British astronomer Sir John Herschel. He did not have the benefit of the imaging cameras and spectrographs that modern astronomers use to learn about stars, so we only have a historical record of the star's visual brightness.
But luckily for today's astronomers, some of the light from the eruption took an indirect path to Earth and is just arriving now.
The wayward light was heading in a different direction, away from our planet, until it bounced off dust lingering far from the turbulent stars and was rerouted to Earth, an effect called a "light echo." Because of its longer path, the light reached Earth after a delay of 170 years, similar to the echo one hears when sound waves bounce of the walls in a canyon.
The observations provide scientific instruments were made years after light from the eruption reached Earth. It's as if nature has left behind a surveillance tape of the event, which we are now just beginning to watch. We can trace it year by year to see how the outburst changed."
The team's paper is published in the Feb. 16 issue of the journal Nature.
Rest's team first spotted the light echo while comparing visible-light observations he took of the star in 2010 and 2011 with the National Optical Astronomy Observatory's CTIO Telescope at the Cerro Tololo Inter-American Observatory in Chile. He obtained another set of CTIO observations taken in 2003 by Nathan Smith, an assistant professor at the University of Arizona's Steward Observatory, which helped him piece together the whole 20-year outburst.
"I've spent much of my career using tools like the Hubble Space Telescope to carefully dissect the expanding shrapnel left behind by the 19th century eruption of Eta Carinae, basically trying to perform stellar forensics on the violent event that was seen 170 years ago. I never thought I'd be lucky enough to see a replay of the event," Smith said.
Located 8,000 light-years from Earth, Eta Carinae is one of the largest and brightest binary star systems in our Milky Way galaxy. Although the chaotic duo is known for its petulant outbursts, the Great Eruption was the most violent ever observed.
During the 20-year episode, Eta Carinae shed some 15 to 20 solar masses and became the second brightest star in the sky. Before the epic event, the stellar pair was 140 times heftier than our sun.
"Most of that ejected mass formed the system's spectacular nebula, which is now expanding away from the star at more than 1 million miles per hour," said Smith. "So far, analysis of that nebula seen in Hubble images has provided our best information about the eruption."
Because Eta Carinae is relatively nearby, astronomers have used a variety of telescopes, including Hubble,, speed and chemical composition of the ejected material.
The delayed broadcast."
The team followed up its study with spectroscopic observations, using the Carnegie Institution of Washington's Magellan and du Pont telescopes at the Las Campanas Observatory in Chile. That study helped them decode the light and gave them information about the outburst.
The researchers compared the measurements of the brightness of these light echoes to the record of visual light output recorded by astronomers in the 1800s, which showed an erratic sequence of brightening and dimming over the course of the 20-year eruption. Their measurements of the brightening and dimming of the light echoes matched that of the 1843 peak in brightness.
The team will continue watching the star."
"Being able to observe these echoes of the same light that reached Earth in the 19th century is a neat gift, allowing us to analyze the light from a historical event with modern astronomical telescopes," said Smith. "Maybe it's greedy, but next I'd like to see Eta Carinae explode for good as a bona fide supernova." | http://www.tucsonnewsnow.com/story/16949806/echoes-from-an-exploding-star | 2013-05-18T11:02:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
So what were McSally's Guest Comments last week, more of the obvious left bias? The Weekly actually gave both sides a forum and let its readers see that. More than you can say for many media outlets these days.
To comment on your last paragraph, they are all going to end up in PR where they will quickly discover that claiming a degree in journalism will make them the most envied and hated PR person by journalists who still work as journalists. If it's any consolation, real PR people like me will become extinct.
In your discussion with budding journalists, does the notion of media bias come up? It would be refreshing to find that the recent graduates in journalism are aware that their biases can never be avoided. I found it fascinating some years ago when a major prof at UA Journalism school acknowledged that very fact. A part of the appeal of the Weekly is its obvious bias (viz. Barber's Guest Comments) toward the left. The danger - and perhaps the demise - of newspapers began when they asserted they were fair and balanced. We are better served by openly biased writers than by those who assert fair treatment to 'both sides.' The New York Times and Washington Post, as well as the AZ Star, look silly when they pretend to be fair. Don't give us 'All the News that's Fit to Print'. Just give us your side of the story as you see it and be open about it..
In regards to FrankHenry's shilling for Prop 121:
...and a "NO" vote will prove you're not Nazi vermin trying to block other party's from running.
The editor is right...get informed on all the candidates and also
all the questions on your ballot.
One question is Prop 121...A YES for 121 will allow all voters
EQUAL ACCESS to be placed on every ballot. Also 121 will allow
all voters EQUAL ACCESS to vote every ballot.
To TXJesse:
I'm sorry I assumed that you were a man, I'm willing to admit when I err, but you have erred also. First, AZ/DC indicates that I am an Arizonan & my initials are DC; maybe AZ/D.C. would be more appropriate, but it doesn't look as good. Second, you claim I might do better elsewhere but being happy and/or content isn't all about money;I do just fine thank you. I don't think all rich people are unhappy, that is just the vibe your post gives off. Most people I know wouldn't have the same kind of attitude you projected if they had enough money to own several homes across @ least two countries, owned classic cars and the like. No offense but you still come across as bitter in your rebuttal post, especially when you mention that poverty can't buy happiness. Well, that's where you're wrong for the third time. I do not live in poverty, I just choose not to go beyond my means, I have amassed enough money to be comfortable and I consider myself wealthy when it comes to the friends, family and positive attitude I have towards life. Materially you have it better than me, but in the areas that truly count I feel as if I am wealthier than you.
P.S. Sorry it took me so long to re-respond. I was looking for another article and just happened to stumble across this one and opened it up for nostalgia's sake. Best of luck on building that stairway to heaven!
The fact that the Republic hired O'Dell and Brodesky should tell you something about the state of that rag. O'Dell is poseur who would not have been able to write anything about the city without his county connection feeding him stories. Brodesky is a clown who couldn't report his way out of a public latrine. His articles attempted to mix humor with news but were so one sided and ill informed that they were laughable only because they weren't in a high school paper. Also, did you know the City enacted a new zoning and development code on Tuesday? You wouldn't if the Star was your source of news because it wasn't reported. This new code is the result of years of work and thousands of hours of staff and public time. Its a pretty big deal. Its a direct result of all the complaining the development community has done over the years about how difficult the old code was to navigate and was essentially anti-development. Now, when someone can't get a permit its an above the fold story in the Star (or the subject of a Danehy piece) but when the City tries to address the concern.....crickets. At least the TW is out and proud about its bias. The Star still pretends to be a local daily. Its a joke.
@riorican: I'm not disputing you found an article you thought was good. Whether I found it was good is beside the point :-)
@nunaurbiz: Thank you for your earnest "rebuttal" to my post.
But I would have much preferred reading that you found the fine article the Star published about Sonora's astonishing growth kind of scary.
Who knows?
Sometime in the near future, we may be seeing a reverse "illegal" emigration into the thriving state of Sonora, Mexico from the - most definitely not - thriving state of Arizona.
@riorican: Yeah, but can the Star tell me what's happening in my world? No, they don't. Not on any consistent basis. Yeah, you can pick a story out here and there, but enough to get me to read every day? NOPE.
I must say, Mr. Smith and the Tucson Sentinel do a much better job at keeping a finger on the pulse of Tucson. He can do more with a fraction of the staff and money that the Star does. Many of the reporters at the Star are on remote control with editors apparently reading copy the same way and not caring whether they get the whole story or not.
You can cite a few examples of good reporting? I can point you to the Star website every day for multiple examples of bad reporting.
@nunaurbiz: I thought the 9/21/2012 Star's feature on the astonishing growth of Sonora's economy was excellent. Could be that I've felt a new energy in Hermosillo and have also visited the renovated Guaymas port, which will become the busiest on the West Coast in a very short time.
Good things are happening there, including the fact that I know quite a few young people who are studying in excellent tech schools and universities and who don't have the slightest interest in emigrating to the States. Which is quite a change, because most of the ones I know have family where it was tradition to cross the border (often illegally) to seek work here.
The feature was beautifully written and well-researched and presented a real challenge: that Tucson should get on the ball to benefit from an economy that is growing at a rate almost 3 times as ours.
That's only one example, (there are others) but it is one that illustrates what a good newspaper can do. It would be a huge loss to see the Star fold - especially to its choir of constantly grousing critics who'd have to find a new target. (Like The Tucson Weekly, perhaps?)
The Star also managed to make a mess of their web site. It used to be possible to quickly scan what was there, but now they've really made a mess of the navigation. And yes, we are subscribers to the paper version, but I often prefer to look at it before it's actually delivered. Oh, and the "subscriber only" content -- why not make it available online to print subscribers?
Is there a mobile version of Tucson Sentinel?
Jimmy,
Most conversations about the future of news have an element of despair — the litany of debt and layoffs and closings. And the villain? The Internet.
I think it's time to reframe a debate that's gone on for too long. I'm weary of the bleak attitude about the future of news; we need to change the discussion to one of hope and confidence about the quality local journalism that's being done today.
Some bemoan the decline of newspapers - and it's a sad thing, to be sure, to watch community institutions dying due to bureaucratic interia and crushing piles of debt - but I believe there's more good reporting being done today than any time before.
Local Independent Online News Publishers are successfully creating the future of reporting: locally owned and operated news outlets that directly serve their communities.
Most of that work is online, and much of it's being done by the members of the LION Publishers community.
Our ethos of "local" isn't new - it's a return to our roots. For most of the 19th and 20th centuries, local news was reported by family-owned newspapers, radio and TV stations rather than national chains more concerned about quarterly earnings and stock prices than reporting on communities.
It's to support the traditional values of journalism in a new age - the values of speedy, accurate, comprehensive and caring reporting sustained by healthy businesses practices - that a group of local publishers from around the nation founded the Local Independent Online News Publishers association.
Hundreds of local news websites across the country - from neighborhood hyperlocals to small town forums to metro and regional sites - are reporting the news, in many cases more efficiently and effectively than the legacy media they're replacing.
From thebatavian.com in New York to Berkeleyside.com in California, from the Twin Cities Daily Planet to TucsonSentinel.com, local independent news is a growing part of the industry.
Indeed, the future is black for chain media with billion-dollar debts and execs who were too busy toting up $37 million retirement packages to pivot their industry.
And sadly, it may be murky for the many great reporters and editors (and designers, pressmen, saleswomen and circulation managers) who work for those legacy operations.
But for enterprising reporters and their readers? The future is far from black. Change has ever been a constant in the news biz. From Linotypes to InDesign, hot lead to photo plates, and now the Internet in its many permutations — quality reporting not only weathers the storm, it can be the better for it.
Maybe the Star should try having some real news content someday. (Don't hold your breath.)
Gonna run out and look for a hard copy - thanks for the heads up, Jimmy.
Best of Tucson is always one of my favorite issue of the year.
How did my favorites rank?
Who is new to the list?
WHAT?!? How did they fall off the list?
Always a great read.
Plus, it is great that Tucson votes for mostly local businesses.
Local businesses are what make Tucson unique and terrific.
I think Tucson has a larger ratio of local restaurants than most cities our size.
And I love that!
Well, I must stop typing so I can read Best of.
Thanks for putting this issue together!
AZ/DC can't read very well and perhaps can't spell very well and meant AC/DC? My comment was one of joy at selling my second home in the Foothills, a beautiful home. And I was so glad to get out of it I took any offer and didn't look back. I never lived in Tucson, it was a second home and I spent about six weeks a year there.
Perhaps because you are poor you like to think rich people are unhappy.
WRONG! You just like to think that. Poverty can't buy happiness!
I am happy not to ever go back to Tucson, but my Tucson friends are planning trips to visit me in better places. I love to entertain so looking forward to seeing them in more hospitable surroundings.
But AC/DC you are right about Canada, it is beautiful this time of year, and yes, I have a home there too! I love Canada and Canadians. Their banking system is one of the best in the world because they demand better govt. than US citizens.
And by the way,you assumed I am a man. I am a woman.
Jesse is just a name I used when in Tucson to ward off unwanted attention and gold diggers couldn't track me down. I like to dance and would give an assumed name so unwanted
strangers would not be able to find me. And the people with me in the clubs would use my assumed name and would discourage strangers too, flat tell them to "go away, she's ours." These strangers may have been very nice, but I don't want to take that chance.
So I wish you well. You might do better somewhere other than Tucson, somewhere opportunities are better along with better weather. Think about it.
"Jesse" NOT!
Re: “Editor's Note”
Personally I think all votes should be counted in every State before a winner is announced, and we should do away with this insane electoral college. I want my vote to really count and yes, Voter ID laws up held...if you forget your ID to vote too bad, this person wasn't serious in the first place and shouldn't be able to vote.

'GT' vs. 'T' Series
Why is Garrett GT better than T product?
- Product Simplification - T product typically contained 54 components, compare this with GT technology, which has drastically reduced the number of components by more than 45% to average of 29! Reducing the number of individual parts drastically diminishes the opportunity for failure, thus resulting in smoother motoring.
- Journal Bearing - The bearing system in the GT turbocharger allows for improved shaft stability and less drag throughout the speed range. In fact, the GT shaft motion has decreased by 20%, which greatly improves the durability of the bearing system.
- Thrust Bearings - The new GT turbochargers have an increased load bearing capacity of up to 35%. This provides greater resistance to thrust bearing failure, especially when the combination of an oversized compressor wheel to turbine wheel is used.
- Improved Aerodynamics - The wheels used on the GT turbochargers increase the efficiency of the turbocharger system. Increased efficiency allows improved engine performance in each application.
- Wheel Trims - The GT range has several more wheel trims than the T range, enabling a more accurate match of turbocharger to engine that will in turn result in optimum performance.
- Piston Rings - The piston rings on the GT range are made from M2 tool steel. This material can withstand higher temperatures than traditional T range piston rings, making the GT product more appropriate for today's modern engines. | http://www.turbodynamics.co.uk/technical/technical-info/garrett-performance/ | 2013-05-18T10:13:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Dream Chaser Flight Vehicle Scales Rocky Mountain Summits
2012-06-06 19:02:03
ScienceDaily (June 5, 2012) — Sierra Nevada Corporation (SNC) Space Systems' Dream Chaser design passed one of its most complex tests to date with a successful captive-carry test conducted near the Rocky Mountain Metropolitan Airport in Jefferson County, Colo., on May 29. Just like the space shuttle before it, SNC's Dream Chaser will go through extensive testing to prove its wings will work. The company built a full-scale flight vehicle of the Dream Chaser spacecraft to carry out the evaluations.. The captive-carry test marks the completion of another milestone for the Dream Chaser Space System as part of the Commercial Crew Development Round 2 (CCDev2) agreement with NASA's Commercial. Data from the captive-carry test will provide the company an early opportunity to evaluate and prove hardware, facilities and ground operations in preparation for approach and landing tests scheduled for later this year. All of NASA's CCDev2 partners, including SNC, continue to meet their established milestones in developing commercial crew transportation capabilities. | http://www.turkofamerica.com/index2.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1089&pop=1&page=0 | 2013-05-18T10:21:59 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Frank's trucker hat reads, "Game Changer", as well as wearing a blank hat.
Liz: OK, guys, I just want to say congratulations on our 50th show!
(everyone cheers)
Liz: That's 50 hours of comedy, over 300 sketches, one unsolved crew death, and an Emmy... Magazine cover story.
Jack: Uh, Lemon, I heard a rumor that you went out with one of the consultants last night.
Liz: Well, I had no choice. I had to give him a little taste of the Lemon. And it was not sour, my friend—not sour.
Tracy: Jenna, I just want you to know that if we find any human remains in there, I'm gonna throw up all over your face.
Jack: This is a very difficult time, Kenneth. I'm gonna be counting on you. You'll do fine so long as you follow my three Ds: Discretion, Docility, and Don't use my bathroom.
Jeffrey: (to Liz) Okay, so Mr. Hollster has filed a complaint against you with Human Resources. Specifically, his claim suggests that you tried to barter sex in exchange for professional consideration. In the human resource world, we refer to that as 'being a filthy prostitute'.
Jack: I'm sorry. I know this is hard, but there's no way out of it.
Liz: Well, a little heads up—your next meeting might disagree. She's planning to change your mind by hitting... that.
(waves her hand at Jack's groin)
Jack: Oh, no, not again. The last guy tried to take my belt off.
Kenneth: Mr. Donaghy, I know you said only interrupt you if was very important, but Tishonda from Time Warner Cable is on the phone, and she's offering three free months of Showtime, but we have to act now!
Jack: I'm warning you now that the entertainment division is going to come under some very close scrutiny. The days of your wild Coke parties are over.
Liz: Well, if by "coke" you mean sodas—
Jack: I do. It's... really bad.
The German episode title is "Sparmaßnahmen", and the Spanish title is "Recortes", both exact translations. The French title is "Compression de personnel", meaning "Layoffs".
Similar to his character, Sid, Don Pardo is the announcer of Saturday Night Live.
Roger Bart can also be seen with Scott Adsit in the 2006 movie, I Want Someone to Eat Cheese With.
International Airdates: Latin America: May 27, 2009 on Sony Entertainment Television (aka Canal Sony); Australia: June 8, 2009 on Channel 7; Czech Republic: June 14, 2011 on Prima COOL
Though credited, Grizz Chapman and Kevin Brown do not appear in this episode.
When Liz says, "Jack, I put on a live show every week, unless there's wrestling", she is referring to WWE's Saturday Night Main Event, which occasionally runs in Saturday Night Live's time slot, the show on which 30 Rock is based.
Upon triggering the bug bomb in Kenneth's room, Tracy screams, "Oh, no, Kenneth's a murderer and the Riddler's coming!" referencing the 1995 film, Batman Forever, in which the Riddler would appear following what the movie has made his signature: green gas spouting from a can.
Liz vows, "They may take my dignity, but they will never take OUR STRAWS!", to which the rest of the crew cheers voraciously, playing on a similar scene in Mel Gibson's 1995 film, Braveheart.
Liz's stage presentation, wearing jeans and a black turtleneck and using morphing pastel graphics, is a parody of the presentations given by Apple founder and CEO Steve Jobs. In particular, it mimics his keynote address at MacWorld 2007, where he introduced the original iPhone as "A phone. An iPod. And an internet communications device."

"He's a Captain and he can do damn well as he pleases!" -WHOEVER SAID THIS
This was one of the final acting roles for De'Aundre Bonds, who is currently serving 11 years in jail for the murder of his aunt's boyfriend on September 5, 2001.

Days of Our Lives Season 42 Episode 34 (09/20/07)
Recap
Days of Our Lives Episode Recap, Part I
Jett (Marcus Patrick) advises Abe that he'll help with the search for Roman while he waits for reassignment with the ISA. Abe reveals that the ISA has fired him for what happened and that it's unlikely he could even get a job with the Salem police. Chelsea confides in Stephanie that Jett confessed his love for her while he was in the ambulance but then insists that she loves Nick.
Days of Our Lives Episode Recap, Part II
Stephanie presses her to go to Jett to get him to confirm that he loves her. Later, Abe (James Reynolds) thanks Chelsea for saving Jett's life while Stephanie takes a moment to talk with Jett about Jeremy. Chelsea then joins her and Jett reveals he's an ISA agent. Stephanie asks what he remembers after he was shot and realizes that he can't recall telling Chelsea he loves her.
Chelsea suggests that Jett can get a job working security at Salem University with Billie (Julie Pinson).
Days of Our Lives Episode Recap, Part III
As Stefano is complaining to his attorney about being locked up, Steve interrupts and points out the fact that Roman disappeared once he went looking for Andre. Stefano hints to Steve that Roman may not be dead but then doesn't say anything else about it. Steve tells Stefano that he wants to make a deal about Andre. He offers to keep him away from the police as long as Benjy is safe.
Stefano accepts the offer and Steve leaks that the police know where Andre is hiding out.
Days of Our Lives Episode Recap, Part IV
As Rolf sends Stefano (Joseph Mascolo) out, he uses chalk to write some symbols on the funeral parlor door which Steve later eyes. Kayla catches Jeremy in the house and accuses him of breaking in. He denies it and shows her a key as proof that Stephanie let him in. Kayla points out that Stephanie can now be arrested for helping hide him. Kayla tries to call the police but when he grabs the phone from her, she tries to take it back.
As she calls, Jeremy dials Stephanie so that she can hear him pleading with her mother not to turn him in. Stephanie runs home and asks her mother not to call the police. | http://www.tvfanatic.com/shows/days-of-our-lives/episodes/season-42/september-20-2007/ | 2013-05-18T10:23:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
“Chris makes that face you make when you’re an adult and your mom is trying really hard and you are embarrassed but no longer an asshole teenager so you’re mostly just amused and a little pitying.”
BEAUTIFULLY put. I’ve never thought about that phenomenon before, but that is exactly what happens once someone reaches adulthood!
I am from MI and looked up where Melissa is from ( it could be considered the absolute middle of nowhere !) I had no idea that was even a place! Her parents are so midwest it’s adorable.
Everybody’s family was super cute and supportive. I want to know what Fabios sugar daddy apartment owner does for a living..damn..nice place to slum it for a while…
Dimitry and Tim should have taken their tea party in the hot tub…just saying….
The collections ( or what we saw) were and SNOOZE .. I don’t know if they need more time, are worried about being to out there and playing it painfully safe , or just not as talented as designers past.
I cant even guess who will win …Meh …
across the board…
And yet, Massapequa is the home of Jerry Seinfeld, the Stray Cats AND the Baldwin brothers, so…if we overlook Stephen, Danny (who?) and possibly (probably) Billy Baldwin, it’s done pretty well for itself.
A tangerine Vienna sausage = things you can’t unsee.
Anyone got some bleach they can spare?
The Tim visits seemed as low budget as the rest of the show has become. In past seasons didn’t the families always make a big dinner for Tim? Now he gets Chinese take out at borrowed apartments? Even worse, tea and store bought cookies at Dimitri’s borrowed apartment? Melissa’s boat ride was cute though.
Also, Chris using his mother’s knick knack room for a studio makes it pretty obvious that he is being completely supported by the parents. The whole family probably fans him and nurtures him like he’s a hot house rose. He ain’t diving in no dumpsters for his dinners, or having to quit jobs and give up his apartment so that he could continue to create. He is obviously talented, but having your family there to relieve you of fiancial burdens and to provide emotional support has to make it easier to create. I’d like to see what a little suffering could do to his work. (Although having to work in that room full of conventional furniture and uninspired decor is probably what dulls his edge).
Dimitri in that intimate convo with Tim – so sweet. On one hand you wonder why there are no friends around for him, on the other, it’s good to see the undiluted Dimitri. Is his the trained and practiced poise of a performer? Is he lonely and hurting inside? Or is he really as self possessed and confident as he seems? I hope so!
@NotaNJHousewife, at least there was whole milk at Christopher’s! Although I think Tim is more the soy milk kinda a guy!
I was reading old PR posts here and this group seems to be the best out of the last 3 seasons! Dmitry Delicious FTW!!
I could smell the fear from the judges (and the producers) through the screen when they finally figured out what this crop has been up to and what a mess they’ve made of things. And it’s surprising too, since they seemed like they were more talented than previous years (*cough* Mondo *cough* Anya).
Maybe they should have made a rule: No black?
And an even better rule: No pallid bedsheets?
I’m still rooting for Melissa, who at least seems to be pretty consistent. As pleasant as Dmitry seems to be, he really only seem to know how to make ballroom-dancing costumes.
I suspect the lack of family/friends surrounding Dmitry has more to do with the typical Eastern European reserve than loneliness. He was there to have his designs critiqued – not his friends. A handful of other designers from the past have done this.
tangerine vienna sausage — Hilarious!
Before the switch from Magical Elves to Bunim-Murray, the designers got three months to work on the 10 look collection and then five days to cast models, fit and finish the garments. That’s why we got the third season finale of Laura’s lovely eveningwear, Uli’s gorgeous resortwear and, yes, Jeffrey’s funky sportswear. I know he chapped a lot of people’s asses but his collection was pretty gorgeous, as were the other two. The less said about Michael’s hoochie clubwear, the better.
But with only five weeks and 10 people showing, there’s less attention to detail and it shows. They’re not making collections they’re mostly just making 10 more PR garments. I think all four of the finalists would have done much better work, and been competitive, in the early seasons they just weren’t given the time or the opportunity to produce their best because Bunim-Murray suck at producing any show that doesn’t feature falling down drunk, belligerent 20-somethings.
As I probably say every recap, I still really like Chris. What he showed the judges, however…not so much. I also don’t count it against him that he has a loving family, not that I think anyone else does. The truth often sucks, and artists can get major inspiration from hard times and strife, ahem, Dmitry.
Although I am a huge Chris fan, I think I’m pulling for Dmitry for the win. What we saw of his collection, while not awe inspiring (they only have FIVE measly weeks), was solid.
As much I like Fabio, I have to say…what was he THINKING? Although I do love the way he styled the boots
I actually love this final four (well, I’d replace Freegan with Sonjia)…but, they do get screwed with only 5 weeks to complete their collection. Why did they make this crappy change?! I’ll bet they all could come up with amazing collections if they had 3 whole months.
And then only giving them 2 days to take their criticism and make the changes is just ridiculous. I’d rather see amazing collections than the freaked out designer drama the producers seem to love.
I was flabbergasted at the positive feedback they gave Freegan. Who would wear that stuff?
I’ve always liked Christopher, but his collection, especially the 3 looks he showed this week, were pretty weak.
It’s gotta be Tara or Dmitry who pulls this thing out. I think they’re gonna give it to Tara, although I’m really hoping it’s Delicious Dmitry.
i thought fabio had the worst collection, personally. but i like him as a person
oddly, I end up liking Uni’s collection, but it definitely looked like people from the set on a planet that the star ship enterprise would visit, with more color. Nothing was structured, which I think will hurt him, but it did look like a collection.
Tara, overall, I think has the most potential. Kind of typical pieces, with more coolness to them.
Chris, meh, it looked well done, and I like the x-ray pattern, but the color is so blah. I didn’t like the distressed leather either, looked cheap, and like a mistake.
Dimi, I love like the rest of you, but I found it rather boring. I mean, they all were, but somehow his was just yawn. I loved that cut away coat he die, LOVED IT!!!! But that white dress is nowhere near as exciting . . . and the see-thru black tops, cheap, and like , seasons and seasons ago, style wise . . .
@Mrs. Mia: “Thank God his dog wasn’t recently neutered” . . . . . . HAHAHHAHAHAAAA!!!!
God, I was so BORED by these showings! Here’s what I don’t get. If I, as a designer, consider going entering the Project Runway contest, common sense says a): I kind of have a collection swirling around in my head long before I even enter the contest, and b): I’m going to watch past seasons to see if there are any duplicate challenges. That way I can think about what I want to do ahead of time, since time management is such an issue. The other thing I would do is travel to NYC if possible and memorize all the departments in Mood. But that’s just me talkin’. Ahh – I long for past winners like Jay McCarroll, Christian Siriano, and Irina S. I loved Irina’s clothes..
And Tim needs his own show. I love him.
Ha, it’s like going on Survivor not knowing how to make fire.
CynTV, I couldn’t agree more . . . growing up wanting to be a musician, I had whole album lists in my head for this and that list. Just a ton of dreaming, so it makes me curious when they don’t have a dream collection they’ve always wanted to do, or two or three . . .
I love Dmitry, of course, and I thought he had some beautiful pieces. However, the clothes he put out during the season were better. Apparently I’m totally lost on dressing my age, because they seem to think that Dmitry’s looks are “old lady” yet I think they’re beautiful, flattering, sexy but not whore-y, and I would totally wear them if I could afford them….and if I ever wore anything other than my husband’s giant t-shirts and raggedy underwear while slugging on the couch.
Chris is jerking off that Tangerine Vienna Sausage, because there’s no way he deserved to stay. He should have gone home long ago. And he’s a bitch.
Let’s just hand the trophy to Dmitry so we can all hop into the celebratory hot tub with him and Tim.
Why did we even have this episode? They didn’t design anything and they didn’t cut anyone. Yawn….
Love the Notting Hill reference!!!!
I am still in love with Dmitry. I agree wholeheartedly with Sugarbush.
Here is to hoping that tonight’s episode is more interesting.
“I feel like Jay McCarroll was holed up with more fabric than floor space in his godforsaken southern hometown”. Wasn’t Jay from the middle of Pennsylvania? Hardly a southern town….
Also, as much as I love Dmitry, his jacket with the fringe reminds me of the second amendment: the right to bear arms. | http://www.tvgasm.com/home/recap-project-runway-hometown-dates.html/5 | 2013-05-18T10:23:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

It was gratifying to see ND lose. I wonder how many hours the teams had to wait for the third-placers to finally arrive.
Good for the Hot Docs and HSN for their good wins.
Oh, LoLo. You must have forgotten the epic meltdown in Dubai where some chick refused to go down a water slide. She and her boyfriend had a real wobbler at the platform and they went back and forth…all while she was wearing water wings. Nat very easily could have become paralyzed by fear and started he own wobble…but she’s Nat and she didn’t and it went off without a hitch, but you never know when an irrational fear will make someone completely irrational.
And I didn’t mind how anti-climactic this episode was, because I wanted it to be a coronation of Nat & Kat. Not just because they were the first all-female team to win, but they were genuinely non-dramatic and mostly likable. Of course, this means I’ll have to listen to Brook honk and bray through a second consecutive season, so it’s kind of a Pyrrhic victory, but I was happy throughout the episode that they got off the plane first and never gave up the lead.
@vallegirl
Brook and Claire aren’t going to be in the All Stars so you are spared from watching Brook.
They were featured in the promo so I assumed those were the teams.
One point really confused me this episode…where the hell was Jill/ND’s taxi driving to all of that time?? They had no idea where they were going yet the guy managed to drive them into the middle of nowhere with no direction from them whatsoever?
Glad to see the Docs win but this whole season was a little boring. hopefully All-Stars will be better.
Wow…I totally forgot that waterslide meltdown! At one point in that episode I thought that girls boyfriend was going to push her down!!
He was likely driving north on the 405 and got off the freeway when Jill/ND told him to. Most of the neighborhoods between Long Beach and the South Bay are fairly industrial/working class.
I was thoroughly satisfied with this finale, and would’ve been okay with either of the two all-girl teams winning, so it’s cool they came in first and second. Definitely the best season finale of this show I’ve seen in a long time. And yes, I do agree with you that everything Notre Douche says to Jill just sounds condescending. Though I admit I’ll never understand your utter hatred for Team Adoption. I was kinda glad they got eliminated early, cause you were being too venomous to them.
And I’m not precisely thrilled about the next All-Stars, from what I’ve seen of the teams coming back. I don’t know if I can stomach another season full of old jerk Ron, satan-spawn Jamie, the quitting Globethrotters and douche-deaf Luke with dumbass Bionic Mom Margie. At least there’s the Goths, Mel & Mike, Kisha & Jen, the Cowboys and Gary & Mallory for likeable teams…
I noticed Brooke and Claire in the previews for All Stars too but saw them and Nat and Kat on The Early Show and they said they were asked to do the All Stars but Claire is pregnant (and blonde!) and so they declined. I am curious why they were shown on the previews anyway.
Ho hum. It was pretty obvious that the Hot Docs had gained a commanding lead from the start, which left the rest of the episode pretty damn boring. Especially since the final challenges were awfully lame. Flowers? Floats? Who the fuck are you kidding?
I also think it’s likely the producers paid off the cabbie to make certain that Notre Douche never stood a chance. The show was just way too eager to make ‘history.’ Ranks right up there with Rosa Parks’ bus ride and Roe v Wade.
I’m disappointed Claire (or Brooke? the blonde one) won’t be back for the all-stars. She was a bright spot this season.
Not a fan of UCLA [GO USC!] but I am glad the lady doctors won. I wish Brooke and Claire were going to be on the ALL STARS but Claire said she got knocked up so…
Thanks for the Recaps LoLo!
“Though I admit I’ll never understand your utter hatred for Team Adoption. I was kinda glad they got eliminated early, cause you were being too venomous to them.”
Chris Velazquez pretty much said why I gave up LoLo’s recaps for a few weeks: her snooty, utter nastiness toward Andie & Jenna, two of the LEAST offensive people in the race. So. Much. Hate. For. Her.
But I DID love Thomas’s utter defeat. At the hands of not one, but TWO women’s teams, to boot.
Congrats, Nat & Kat! I wanted Brook & Claire to win, but you two certainly would’ve deserved it, too!
And cattyfan, Jill & Thomas finished over two hours behind Brook & Claire. That cab really knocked them out of the running, though it was kind of their fault, too, for panicking and not doing what either Nat & Kat or Brook & Claire did to get their answers..
Of course I come here to laugh at reality television, and anyone who appears in a reality television show is fair game for mockery. I certainly wouldn’t want the recappers to pull their punches.
I totally agree that most of the challenges for this finale were lame (decorate a parade float? Really AR?) but I didn’t care so much about the lack of suspense knowing that the Docs were almost sure to win by half-way through the show. I think they were the most deserving winners in the show’s history. Never saw them being obnoxious to each other or any of the other teams, never saw them whining or making excuses about a challenge, and even when there were tears on Nat’s part she sucked it up and ploughed ahead.
I too thought of the waterslide chick who chickened out when Nat was getting ready for the big plunge! The challenge was really only a challenge of the fear of heights given that there was no real skill required, but still. I was so proud of her in that moment.
I would have been ok with an HSN win but was soooo happy ND came in 3rd. I did wonder whether their cabbie was messing with them on purpose though — either because they annoyed him, because he was a producer plant to ensure an all-girl win, or because he wanted to prolong his 15 minutes of fame! Still, I agree that they further screwed themselves by panicking rather than taking the time to use their smart *cough* and charm *cough* to work their way through the clue. Both the Docs and HSN had a much smarter approach, so ND can’t really blame everything on a bad cab driver (who cracked me up by the way!)
I read that Stephanie and Chad got married and she is 3 months pregnant, also.
Spawn of Mad Chad…coming soon to a theatre near you…
I don’t think the cabbie was a plant, or that they even needed a plant to screw up ND and Jill. We’ve seen for all his fancy book larnin’ that Thomas has crap communication skills and condescends to everyone. They lost that leg in Hong Kong because he stood on the street and argued with the cabbie about where they needed to go as Nat & Kat rode past in their cab. When they were talking to the cabbie they never tried different ways to communicate the same thing, they just kept repeating things that he clearly didn’t understand the first time.
And they wouldn’t have lost all that time if they’d just done what HSN did and ask to go to a Hilton or Sheraton or even the aquarium or the docks to Catalina. They were in Long Beach, there are plenty of hotels in the area and tourists with smart phones. They just kept trying to get him to help them for too long.
The show can’t legally disadvantage one team over the others. But one team can and will always do something monumentally stupid at the end of the race.
I was down with this finale. My two fave teams got first and second and ND completely blew it. All-stars does look like it might be a little hard to stomach with some of the teams included.
I can’t understand the total love for team HSN. The blonde one was annoying as all get out. It is one thing to be funny, but when you TRY too hard to be funny, then it comes off as annoying!! I think half of it has to do with her looks. If she wasn’t blonde and pretty, then people would complain more. I just don’t get why there is so much love for a person who lifts her legs, kisses everyone, brays like a donkey at EVERYthing, and thinks she is the hottest and funniest thing since..well, herself!! I would not buy anything from her HSN show, simply due to the fact I would have to mute or turn the channel. Again, she could be cool in my eyes, if she’d shut up for more than two seconds, AND take a dose of humble pie once in a while. I like people who are witty (a lot of recappers, commentors, etc. here fit in this category), but man that girl is a donkey defined.
Ok, I have wanted to get that out all season. Forgive me.
I too, did not have a problem with the adopted mom/daughter. I DID have a problem with all the asinine men on the show. I thought I was watching Abusive Race this year. Ugh. I am glad the docs one for the pure fact they were actually nice during the race. Respected cultures, conquered their fears, etc. I didn’t think I liked them at first, but they won me over when they were eating (what was it?) in a country. Instead of whining and complaining about being a vegetarian, the one doc said, “How does it taste?” The other one said, “Like a million dollars!!” And the other one conquered the heights thing. So yeah, they have my respect.
All in all, the last three or four episodes were very predictable. It made me sad, because usually I am at the edge of my seat wondering who was going to win. So although I like the winners, the episodes were really ‘meh.’ Try some more riveting competitions too Amazing Race producers!! Stick a flower in a hole!! Woo!! I was glued to the t.v. for that one!! :S
Thanks for the recaps. They are entertaining! See you next recap!
O.K. I was on another thought process when I typed, ‘lifts her legs.’ Bwah. Oh well.
Also, “won”, not one….obviously.
Don’t worry vallegirl, I’m not one of the conspiracy theory brigade. It just amuses me to think that everyone could be so annoyed by Notre Douche that they would go out of their way to make him lose.
I don’t really think the cabbie was a plant, but I do suspect that Thomas’s condescending attitude made him (the cabbie) less inclined to go out of his way to help them out. Kat and Nat proved that nice people do sometimes finish first by politely navigating their way through various social situations around the world. karma just came back to give Thomas a double kick in the ass, and (though I feel a little guilty) I was loving it!
What? No screen shots of the winners? I know ND and Brook are much more aspirational figures, but some props to the docs!
.”
Good for you. But no, I didn’t pause once. I was actually interested. But then, I have taste, so . . . | http://www.tvgasm.com/recaps/amazing_race/amazing-race-and-the-winners-are.html | 2013-05-18T10:42:31 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Deborah Raffin, actress and audiobook entrepreneur, passed away on Wednesday at the Ronald Regan UCLA Medical Centre. According to her brother, Raffin had been battling leukemia for the past year, and at the age of 59, tragically lost her battle with the blood disease.
Raffin is both a movie and television actress, but is perhaps best known for her recurring guest roles on television series “7th Heaven” and more recently “The Secret Life of the American Teenager”. Raffin also started her own audiobook company, Dove audio books, with then husband Michael Viner which went on to become a multimillion dollar business. The company was sold in 1997, and Verner died of cancer in 2009.
Raffin was discovered by a talent scout as a college student while standing in an elevator, and ever since then went on to play blonde-bombshell roles in movies such as “The Ransom” and “40 Carats” in the 1970’s. Raffin was nominated for a Golden Globe in 1980 for her role opposite Diane Lane in 1980’s “Touched by Love”.
Raffin leaves behind two siblings, Michael and Judy, and her daughter Taylor Rose. Services will be held on Sunday at 1pm at the Hillside Memorial Park and Mortuary in Culver City. | http://www.tvrage.com/news/3502/7th-heaven-star-deborah-raffin-passes-away-at-59 | 2013-05-18T11:02:54 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

San Francisco Opera Selects Fujinon Lenses For New HD Production Facility
3/14/2008
When the San Francisco Opera created its Koret-Taube Media Suite, the first permanent high-definition video production facility of any U.S. opera house, nine Fujinon HD lenses were chosen as part of the configuration.
Among the nine lenses selected were three HA25X11.5 BERD lightweight ENG-Style telephoto HD lenses with servo zoom and focus; four HS18X5 BERM standard focal length, HD 1/2-inch XDCAM HD ENG/EFP with Digi Power servo and 2X extender, one HA25X16.5 BERD lightweight super telephoto HD ENG-Style lens with servo zoom and focus; and one HA42X13.5 BERD super telephoto ENG-Style lens. The lenses are mounted on Sony HDC 1500L and Sony HDC X-310 cameras.
According to Frank Zamacona, of Zamacona Productions and resident director of the Koret-Taube Media Suite, the longer focal length offered by the Fujinon lenses presented a key advantage. With the debut of a new program offered by the San Francisco Opera called OperaVision, tighter shots were necessary. OperaVision allows audience members seated in balcony seats an improved view of the stage through close-up and mid-range ensemble shots in high-definition video on two 5’ x 9’ retractable screens hung from the ceiling.
“We needed to zoom in deeper and get in closer on the action on stage,” said Zamacona. “The Fujinon lenses give us sharp medium close ups of the performers no matter where they are on stage.”

Omaha, Neb. — Nebraska Furniture Mart has begun allowing customers to use its privatel-label credit card to make purchases on the company's e-commerce site.
"During these tough economic times we want to make it as easy for our customers as possible," said executive VP Bob Batt. "If your refrigerator goes out you can't wait for the economy to turn around, you need to go out and buy a new refrigerator."
Online shoppers using the company’s revolving credit account will continue to have the option of deferring interest payments for 60 days, and will be able to take advantage of longer payment terms when such promotions are offered, the NATM dealer said. Currently, the retailer is offering zero-percent financing for 21 months on purchases of $299 and higher using the company’s credit card.
“Nebraska Furniture Mart customers love the fact that we offer interest-free financing,” added Jeff Douglas, the company’s Internet marketing manager. “It makes it very easy for them to buy furniture, flooring, appliances, electronics, and computers —whatever they need especially when it’s interest-free for an extended amount of time.
“Unlike others,” Douglas continued, “we welcome new accounts, we provide our own credit, and have plenty of it available.” That, along with drive-through pick-up, competitive prices and a wide assortment, “has made it extremely convenient for our customers to shop with us online,” he said. | http://www.twice.com/news/nebraska-furniture-mart-extends-credit-online-purchases-0 | 2013-05-18T10:32:00 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

My Heart
Summary:
Jacob runs into Bella after she's married Edward and has a few things left to say. A Post-Eclipse Songfic. Reveiws are appreciated as this is my first Fanfic on here, tell me if I've got this gig wrong.
Notes:
1. Congratulations
Rating 3.5/5 Word Count 1189 Review this Chapter
A/N: I am not Stephanie Meyer. I do not own Twilight. Or any part of the day for that matter. Neither do I own the song featured in this. It’s called ‘Congratulations’ and is by Imogen Heap and Blue October. They own it. Not me.
So many things were winding through Jacob’s head as he saw her. So petite. Her stench wound into him. She never smelt this bad before. She smelt of him.
She was posed on an old bench, with white paint peeling off it, reading a book. She was picture perfect. There was a small, delicate diamond on her hand. Just like her. Beautiful. This was no surprise to Jacob.
But he was not with her. This surprised Jacob. Maybe they had a fight? No, of course they hadn’t. Bella loved him far too much for Jacob to be ever happy. He walked around to face her, to see her face. He suspected that this would’ve surprised her. But it hadn’t.
She could hear you coming. He thought. She was so small, so delicate, and so much more beautiful than he had ever remembered. No. that wasn’t true. Bella was the most beautiful thing that he’d ever seen, she was inhumane now; she looked sickly sweet. But he still loved her.
She looked up, her eyes with mock curiosity, she knew who it was, her scrunched up nose showed him that. She didn’t even like the smell of him. God she had changed.
Her eyes were no-longer the sweet, chocolate brown that he remembered. They were gone, replaced with harsh topaz eyes. He hated the change. He wanted the old Bella. It pained him to look into them. There were small purple bruises underneath.
He was wrong. She was more stunning than ever, Jacob had no idea why he attempted to convince himself any different from this. He always questioned why she would give up such a life with him for this.
He took a small, shuddered breath.
Why was this so god-damn hard?
‘Is that seat taken?'
She nodded. as he slid slowly onto the bench.
'Congratulations.
Would you like to take a walk with me?’
He waited. She nodded wordlessly and rose to follow him.
‘My mind it kind of goes fast,
I’ll try to slow it down for you,
I think I’d love to take a drive.’
He almost smiled at this notion. Bella was. He knew what she was thinking.
That god-damn truck.
Gone now. Just as he had grown to like it. Her affection for something everybody else hated. She had adapted the Cullen’s affection for speed. He knew this. He still spoke to Charlie, and he never lost contact with his daughter. Even if he had no idea what she was doing.
She was screwing with her life and her own father didn’t know.
I sn’t that common though?
He almost chuckled.
‘I want to give you something,
I've been wanting to give to you for years…
my heart.’
‘It’s too late Jacob, you know that. It’s my fault. I know that if I saw what was there sooner then things might be different. But I can’t leave him. You saw how I was… before.’
It wasn’t her fault! What was she talking about? It was his! Why did he ever have to come back? Why couldn’t he leave them alone?
My heart, my pain won't cover up
You left me...
My heart won't take this cover up
You left me...
His pain never covered up, Leah and the others knew that. But he would have to wait for someone else. Is that how life was? When that someone left you, you found another one to take their place? Jacob thought that he couldn’t take that kind of pain. He loved Bella for so long. And so long ago he found that she loved him too… but not enough. His love for her was never enough for her.
‘I came to see the light in my best friend,
you seem as happy as you've ever been…’
He tried to smile. But she saw the tears in his eyes.
‘My chance of being open was broken,
and now you're Mrs. him.
My words, they don't come out right…
but I'll try to say I'm happy for you.
I think I'm going to take that drive’
She looked at him and slowed her pace, when he thought she would stop. There were still their thuds in the snow that broke the silence as she began to speak.
‘I know this isn’t easy Jacob, but you haven’t even imprinted on anyone. Not on me. You will find someone.’
He remained stubborn as ever.
‘No. Not like you Bella. There’s no-one like you.’
He brushed some of her dark hair as it fell into her face. It looked resentful now. How dare he do this to her? She wanted to remain in control of this situation. She wasn’t a controlling person, but she needed this to go right.
‘You will. I promise.’
‘He didn’t keep his promise. Now you’re one of them. How can I trust you?’
As soon as the words left his mouth he wanted to shove them right back in. Why did he say that? He saw the pain on her face as they left their impact.
Stupid-overreacting-werewolf, he thought.
Thud. Thud. Thud. Nothing.
‘You’re right. You can’t.’
They stood staring at each-other in silence, the snow falling around them.
I want to give you something
I have wanted to give to you for years…
My heart
My heart, my pain won't cover up
You left me…
My heart
My heart won't take this cover up
You left me…
Oh how real these words were to him as he thought them now. He had re-opened the stitching on a wound that would now take even longer to heal. If it did heal at all.
‘And I can't change this
I can never take it back
but now I can't change your mind
You left me…
And I can't take this
I can never take this back
but now I can't change your mind,
I can’t change your mindYou left me.’
The accusation in his voice was prominent on these last few words. ‘You left me.’ Somehow it made him feel better… and worse. It was her fault! But he loved her too much for it to be her fault. How could it be Bella’s fault? It must’ve been him. His anger at her and himself came out in a low growl. Bella didn’t look afraid, as she would’ve before.
But she’s changed. She’s not yours, he thought.
I can't change your mind
You left me…
You left me…
You left me…
You left me…
Why couldn’t he change her god-damn mind?! Why was she always as stubborn as him?
He felt so defeated, he knew when he saw her that he had already won.
He almost dropped to the ground. But he didn’t, he just stopped and looked at her with his dog-like pleading eyes.
He took her gloved hand and squeezed it. Slipping her a small, wooden heart. She looked down and almost smiled. But bit her lip instead.
‘Go away;
Make it go away,
please.’
‘I can’t.’
She reached up and pressed her cold, marble lips to his furiously hot cheek. His skin seemed to burn with her touch.
‘I’m sorry.’
She walked away.

MEDORA, N.D. -- A Medora teen's bizarre ability to whistle through her eye socket nearly earned her a national audience.
The Dickinson Press reported that 16-year-old Ashley Ellison had a chance to be part of the "stupid human tricks" segment on Tuesday night's "Late Show with David Letterman."
"It's just me blowing air through my eye," she said. "I thought everybody could kind of do it, and I didn't think it was that rare of a thing, but I guess it is."
The Belfield High School junior was one of six performers in the taped segment, but only three made the national broadcast. Ashley did not.
Her parents, Doug and Mary, sent a video to the show last spring touting Ashley's unique whistling ability.
"My parents did it just to annoy me," she said.
Ashley was surprised when she found out she was chosen to perform.
"I kind of went into shock," Ashley said. "My parents called me to let me know when I was in the middle of Algebra II."
The show paid for Ashley and one parent to travel to New York, and the family bought a third ticket.
New York wouldn't have been the couple's first choice for a getaway, said Doug Ellison, the mayor of the southwest North Dakota tourist town.
"Who would want to go to New York City?" he said.
But Ashley was excited to see the city, the Empire State Building and the Statue of Liberty.
"I'm hoping that we have some time to kind of tour around and see all of the stuff," she said. | http://www.twincities.com/allheadlines/ci_21631119/n-d-teen-who-whistles-through-eye-socket | 2013-05-18T10:22:22 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Whoever stole a mobility scooter from a St. Paul man with a malignant brain tumor is "pretty cold," his girlfriend said Wednesday, Oct. 3.
George Hensley, 45, needs the scooter to travel any distance, Heidi Johnson said. He used the scooter to take his and Johnson's dog for walks, and to go to a nearby gas station or coffee shop by himself, she said.
On Tuesday, Hensley and Johnson went to Walmart and Culver's, leaving the scooter charging in their yard in the 700 block of Curfew Street, in the St. Anthony neighborhood, close to the Minneapolis border. They were gone from about 1:30 to 3 p.m. When they returned home, the scooter was gone.
"It probably took at least two men to pick it up because it needs a key to operate," said Johnson, 38. She said the scooter weighs about 300 pounds.
Hensley's brain tumor was diagnosed in February 2011, and he's undergone radiation and chemotherapy, Johnson said. In May or June 2011, he got pneumonia and a blood clot went through his lung, she said.
"He got real, real sick" and spent several weeks in the hospital, Johnson said. At that point, "they said he didn't have long, but he defied all the odds," she said.
When Hensley got out of the hospital, he couldn't walk because of the time spent in bed, she said. He used a wheelchair at first and is starting to walk on his own now, but still needs the scooter for longer distances.
Hensley's hospice nurse donated the scooter to him in June, Johnson said.
Her advice
The older-model scooter would cost $1,700 to replace, a police report said.
The Pride-brand scooter is blue and has three gray wheels, handlebars and an attached battery-operated push light. It has a gray cloth seat with a black wheelchair seat atop, said Sgt. Paul Paulos, police spokesman.

Last night I was at an event at Artisans Gallery (they have an online store - enjoy!) and fell in love with these Lindsay Phillips
ballet flats:
Cute right?
SOOO comfy and go with jeans, yoga pants, trousers, skirts, you name it!
But the best part is that little flower in the middle?
It snaps off so you can change the look!
Lindsay Phillips switchflops and snaps
You can purchase Lindsay Phillips
'switch' line at Amazon as well and there are tons of snaps to choose from
.
I could not help myself and had to wear them today!
Dancing in my ballet flats,
Janine
Disclosure: I was invited to a blogger event at Artisans and I did receive a gift bag but I was not required to write about the experience and I purchased these shoes as well as a few other things on my own. There will be more on the event in a future post. In addition, all opinions are my own and this post was neither reviewed nor approved by anyone prior to being published.

More than 25,000 students applied to the prestigious program, which awards scholarships to undergraduate and graduate students pursuing an education in health care to “support those dedicated to a lifetime of caring for others.” Ms. Stoker received a $5,000 award to continue her studies to become a pediatric physical therapist.
“I always have enjoyed the opportunity to help others,” Ms. Stoker said. “Receiving this scholarship is an amazing recognition of my life’s calling and reinforces my desire to become a physical therapist.”
Ms. Stoker has a long history of helping children overcome physical injuries, including volunteering in orphanages in Ecuador. There, she helped an Ecuadorian physical therapist do therapy with children who have cerebral palsy.
“Although the days were exhausting, I always went home feeling that I had made a difference in the life of a child,” she said. “Working in Ecuador was definitely a high point in fortifying my decision to study physical therapy.”
Since 1982, the makers of TYLENOL® have awarded more than $8.7 million in scholarships through the Future Care Scholarship program. For more information, visit.

Seniors stay active with group exercise, building muscles, fighting obesity
BY COSHANDRA DILLARD
cdillard@tylerpaper.com
cdillard@tylerpaper.com
In Tiffany Acker's Club Classic, a group fitness class at Woodcreek Athletic Club, the participants are eager to show up three times each week. Ranging from middle age to their 80s, they all recognize the importance of staying physically active at every age.
Maggi Beckmell, 80, can do a perfect plank. In her 50s, she taught her own aerobics class and has maintained a petite frame over the years.
"It's a necessity. It's a part of my life," she said about fitness.
In addition to overall fitness, Ms. Beckmell wants to strengthen her muscles and bones. Ms. Acker's class emphasizes safety first, then balance, form and strength.
"As people get older, the bones get brittle, balance gets bad, and everybody's afraid of falling," Ms. Beckmell said. "I want my muscles strong enough so that I don't fall and break something."
Exercise provides other perks, too, Ms. Beckmell noted.
"I feel better, I think better when I exercise," she said.
Weight loss is becoming an important motivator for seniors also. According to a recent National Institutes of Health report, while people are living longer lives, more are becoming obese as they age.
The report states that 38 percent of people age 65 and older were obese from 2009 to 2010, compared to 22 percent between 1988 and 1994.
In addition, 44 percent of people age 65 to 74 and 29 percent of those age 75 and older were obese from 2009 to 2010.
It's a path that James George, 73, wants to "stall." He attends group fitness classes at two Tyler gyms several times each week.
He's lost about 10 pounds recently but admits that losing weight has been hard. He wants to lose 50 more pounds.
"I want to build up my muscle mass. That burns calories, and I'll lose weight," he said between floor exercises.
He's not deterred from the hard work he has to put in and realizes it won't happen overnight.
"Just keep trying and be persistent," he advises other seniors. "I don't miss very many classes."
Lisa Wallace, who did not reveal her age, has lost 40 pounds over several years, and would like to lose more. She's had success with Weight Watchers in the past and said she hardly eats out. Exercise makes her feel empowered.
"I never feel like there's something I can't do," she said. "It just gives you a feeling that you can be independent."
For some seniors, she said, exercise can be intimidating if there are common aches and joint pain. Ms. Wallace wants to tackle weight issues now before they become a problem later in life.
"Sometimes you just have to push yourself through that," she said. "You see some people in nursing homes just sitting in a wheelchair. I don't want to be like that as an elderly person."
Ms. Wallace also noted that getting there is hard work, but it can be done with some commitment.
"Consistency is the secret," she said. "It's something that you have to stick with. A lot of people diet over a short time. They give up and gain back what they have lost. ... Don't make it so severe that it's too hard to stick with forever."
EMOTIONAL HEALTH JUST AS IMPORTANT
Ms. Acker is the glue that holds the class together and it's more than a fitness class. She has become a part of their lives. Ms. Acker remembers birthdays and other milestones.
The day before Thanksgiving, she had the class sing "Happy Birthday" to Ms. Wallace and passed out turkey-themed treats.
"This class is like family," Ms. Beckmell said. "Tiffany is the momma."
Having a social network in addition to the physical activity is important, Ms. Acker said. Some participants may live alone or have family that live out of town, so the camaraderie they receive each week helps with their emotional health as well. With the exercise, Ms. Acker said participants in her class are "happy people."
Older adults are at risk for depression. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 80 percent of older adults have at least one chronic illness and 50 percent have two or more. While depression among seniors is relatively low -- estimated between less than 1 percent and 5 percent, -- that figure jumps to 13.5 percent in seniors who require home health care, and 11.5 percent if hospitalized.
Ms. Acker said getting older doesn't always mean you have to slow down. Her class works hard and they appear to be in good shape.
"As soon as you limit yourself, you stop progression and you deteriorate," Ms. Acker said. "I tell them, 'You're not too old. You can still develop muscles.'"
Over time, she's heard many seniors say they exercise "because the doctor said so." A few have been taken off medication.
"It changes the whole composition of the body. It's a lifestyle change," Ms. Acker said.
Her advice for seniors who want a healthier lifestyle is to talk with a doctor first, then take baby steps. She said it's important to set reasonable nutrition and fitness goals.
"It's not just about quantity of life," she said. "It's about the quality of life that you're lengthening."
Senior fitness guidelines
Two hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity such as brisk walking every week OR One hour and 15 minutes of vigorous-intensity aerobic activity, such as jogging or running, every week OR Plus Weight training muscle-strengthening activities on two or more days a week that work all major muscle groups (legs, hips, back, abdomen, chest, shoulders, and arms)
An equivalent mix of moderate- and vigorous-intensity aerobic activity

Google has announced that publishers who wish to put videos of Kickstarter or Indiegogo projects up can solicit for donations for the crowd-sourced fundraising platforms via the annotation tool. For those who are not clear about what that is, it is a layer that video publishers can apply on their videos with text, links or hotspots. Google now has integrated both platforms to YouTube to make it easier for both, the platforms as well as the potential clientele.
According to Google, they decided to implement the feature after seeing a few creators get their projects funded such as Freddie Wong’s Video Game High School and James Rolfe’s Angry Video Game Nerd: The Movie. If video creators want to take advantage of the feature, all they have to do is go to the Video Manager, click ‘Edit’ and select ‘Annotations’. After you select ‘link’ and your chosen fundraising platform from the drop-down menu, you are done.
Before this, if you were to click on a link on an annotation, you would be redirected to the website in question. Now however, a new tab will be opened which takes you to the project’s page when click on the ‘Donate’ button. The crowd-sourcing platforms seem to be not only in-trend at the moment but they also seem to be working. For example, the Pebble Smart Watch by Kickstarter which asked for a pledge of $100,000 achieved a whopping $3 million to date.

With just the right balance of patient care, research and education, University of Colorado Hospital provides the highest quality treatment for thyroid conditions in the nation.
The thyroid is a gland in the neck just below the Adam's apple that secretes hormones into the bloodstream. The primary hormone it secretes, called T3, regulates your metabolism (energy your body uses)..
Examines your hormone levels for imbalances.
A dye is injected and an imaging scan gives your doctor a picture of your thyroid and helps determine the type of hyperthyroidism you have.
Medication. If you have hyperthyroidism, your doctor will prescribe medication to reduce your hormone levels and in some cases will prevent your immune system from working against your thyroid.
Radioactive Iodine. If you have hyperthyroidism, this treatment uses a form of radiation to limit your thyroid’s ability to produce hormones. It may be used as an initial treatment or if medication fails.
Surgery. If you have severe hyperthyroidism that has not responded to medication, or if you prefer not to use radioactive iodine, your thyroid can be removed.
Hormone Replacement Therapy. If you have hypothyroidism, your doctor will prescribe hormones for you to replace the hormones your thyroid is not producing.
Our program at University of Colorado Hospital uses a multidisciplinary, team approach to provide you with the care and support you need to during treatment for your thyroid disease.

The Faculty Perspective
Why do some phenotypes evolve, such as butterfly wing patterns, while others do not, such as 9+2 axoneme architecture? Natural selection could maintain an optimal phenotype, but another possibility exists, that alternate developmental mechanisms do not exist to produce variations in a phenotype. A fundamental component of Drosophila spermtail axonemes, b 2 tubulin, has not evolved in 80 million years. Is the protein an ideal configuration maintained by selection, or is it the only configuration able to support the extreme length of the Drosophila spermtail axoneme?
My laboratory investigates the structure/function relationship between Drosophila melanogaster b 2 and the spermtail axoneme in an evolutionary context. An evolutionarily conserved feature of the b 2 protein, the axoneme motif, specifies an evolutionarily conserved feature of motile axonemes, the central pair microtubules, while evolutionarily variable features of b 2, the carboxy terminus and internal variable region (IVR), influence an evolutionarily variable feature of spermtails, their length. Moreover, even the variable regions of the protein are not wholly free to evolve, due to synergism in the function of the IVR amino acids. These data reveal that there are exciting details to be discovered in how protein function relates to protein and ultimately phenotypic evolution.

A Bayer 04 Leverkusen stalwart for the past seven seasons, Simon Rolfes is a defensive midfielder who also attacks with relish. A runner-up at UEFA EURO 2008, where he played two matches for Germany, he missed the 2010 FIFA World Cup through injury but has re-entered coach Joachim Löw's plans with some strong displays in 2011/12.
• Joined SV Werder Bremen in his late teens but could not break out of the amateur ranks, despite a spell at second division SSV Reutlingen 05.
• A bystander in Bremen's league and cup double triumph of 2003/04, he left for TSV Alemannia Aachen, where he enjoyed an impressive season in the second tier and the UEFA Cup, leading to recruitment by Leverkusen.
• Became a pivotal member of Rhinelanders' first XI from day one and scored his first Bundesliga goal in a local derby versus 1. FC Köln on 21 September 2005.
• Missed only three Bundesliga games in his first four seasons at Leverkusen and also helped the club reach the UEFA Cup quarter-finals two years running.
• Won his first cap for Germany against Denmark in March 2007 and went to UEFA EURO 2008, where he made his first two starts since that debut, in the quarter-final versus Portugal and the last four against Turkey.
• Career progress was halted by a serious knee injury in 2009/10, forcing him to miss the 2010 World Cup, but he was back to his best in the autumn of 2011, enjoying a successful debut UEFA Champions League campaign for Leverkusen and winning a recall to the national side for a succession of friendlies, including a 3-3 draw against Ukraine in which he scored.

COUTURE SETS NEW RECORD, TIES ANOTHER
Late last week, I was talking about UFC 109 to a Silicon Valley venture capitalist, and he said, “I wish Randy Couture would just go away; I’m so over that guy.” Interesting. When pressed why, he responded, “Because he beats all of my favorite fighters, and the guy is older than I am!”
Fair point.
“The Natural” was 46 years, 229 days old when he choked out fellow Hall of Famer Mark Coleman on Saturday night, thus setting a new standard for the oldest competitor to ever win a bout inside the Octagon. Granted, he broke his own record, but that doesn’t diminish the accomplishment.
Couture also tied the record for most fights in the UFC at 22. He shares the record with Chuck Liddell and Tito Ortiz, who will fight each other after the eleventh installment of The Ultimate Fighter. With Couture’s current fighting pace (three bouts in 160 days, which is the most active of his non-tournament career), I expect that the UFC legend will get in at least one more fight before that time. Watch Couture post-fight interview
What is next for Couture? My guess is that he won’t want to wait around to try and set yet another record of capturing the 205-lb title for the third time (and sixth championship overall) by facing the winner of the rematch between Mauricio “Shogun” Rua and Lyoto Machida, which is set for this Spring. The grudge match between former champions Rashad Evans and Quinton “Rampage” Jackson will likely occur soon after that bout, so those two are likely out of the Couture lottery, too.
Where does that leave Couture? He has made it clear that he only wants interesting fights at this point in his career. How about Forrest Griffin? That is an interesting matchup by anyone’s standards. Maybe a catch weight bout against Kimbo Slice at 215 lbs? Couture would be the prohibitive favorite, but that fight would be a box office smash. I’m sure UFC brass will come up with something intriguing.
WHERE WAS THE GODFATHER OF GROUND & POUND?
It took less than two minutes before it was clear to me that Mark Coleman wasn’t going to win on Saturday night. It’s not that he doesn’t have the skills to beat Couture—quite the contrary, actually. He simply had a faulty game plan.
I’m not trying to be disrespectful to the UFC Hall of Famer. I know that he was exceedingly disappointed in himself after the fight. It was clear that he wanted to win that fight maybe more than any other in his career. Yet, whoever convinced him to stand with Couture, rather than relying on his wrestling roots, needs a talking to. Watch Coleman post-fight interview
Coleman is a legend in the sport for one simple reason: he invented what we now call the ground-and-pound attack. Coleman’s mix of elite wrestling and brutal ground strikes forever changed the sport when he burst onto the scene more than a decade ago.
Since that time, Coleman has won titles in the UFC and PRIDE, and he as done it by staying true to himself and his ground-and-pound game. I’m sure he has expanded his skill set in the last decade, but his hands remain nascent compared to his wrestling. Couture is a serviceable boxer. Coleman is not, and it showed on Saturday night.
SONNEN MORE THAN JUST AN ENTERTAINING INTERVIEW
Lots of guys make for memorable interviews. Rampage, Evans, Ortiz and Phil Baroni are names that instantly come to mind when I think of guys who are good for fun quotables.
Chael Sonnen, however, might just be the king of trash talking.
From blasting Coleman for allegedly not belonging to a gym or having a coach to many pointed barbs directed at middleweight boss Anderson Silva, this guy is quickly becoming one of the more controversial, though hilarious, talking heads in the sport. Oh yeah, he can really fight, too. Watch Sonnen at post-fight press conference
Sonnen’s complete domination of middleweight monster Nate Marquardt shows that he is good enough to beat anyone on any given day. Next up for the Oregon native is a shot at the UFC 185-lb crown. Submission defense has long been Sonnen’s Achilles’ heel, so that is a weakness that the winner of Silva versus Vitor Belfort may try to exploit. But playing the guard game with a wrestler of Sonnen’s ilk is an extremely risky proposition as Marquardt found out on Saturday night.
MARQUARDT LEARNS THAT STYLES MAKE FIGHTS
I’m going to go out on a limb and state definitively that Marquardt is a far better all-around fighter than Sonnen. Ok, that isn’t much of a limb, since virtually everyone would co-sign on that statement. So what went awry for him on Saturday night? Nothing, actually.
If I have said it once, I have said it one thousand times: styles make fights.
Being the better all-around fighter is not always the recipe for success, particularly when one guy’s strength is Olympic-level wrestling. I was very surprised that Marquardt did not have a better prepared game plan for how to deal with Sonnen’s wrestling. He had to know that he would spend the majority of the fight on his back, so training camp should have consisted mostly of sweeps and refining his offensive guard.
Marquardt claimed afterward that he did not follow the correct game plan in that he should have circled more and peppered strikes from the outside. That is easier said than done against a guy who closes the distance immediately at the start of each round and forces a firefight in a phone booth. Marquardt would literally need to fire up his moped full throttle inside the cage from the instant each round got underway in order to avoid a clinch with Sonnen. That is certainly possible. Liddell did it against Couture in their second bout. But that cannot be the only game plan against a guy with sick wrestling.
Marquardt will be back, rest assured. He is one of the most talented fighters across any division. And I remain convinced that he will someday wear the 185-lb title around his waist. The loss to Sonnen, though, all but guarantees that won’t happen in 2010, absent a sudden change in circumstances. I’m sure that burns white hot in Marquardt’s gut right about now, and it will serve as a very real motivating factor to shore up any flaws in his game. That is good news for the Greg Jackson student, but very bad news for the rest of the division.
APOLOGIES TO THIAGO
I’ll admit it. I chalked up Paulo Thiago’s knockout win over Josh Koscheck as a lottery-winning strike that allowed a once-in-a-lifetime result. After watching the Batalhão de Operações Especiais officer (Brazil’s elite special police force) blast Mike Swick with a left hook and then choke him unconscious with a D’Arce choke, I’m not so sure anymore. Watch Thiago post-fight interview
Thiago looked stellar on Saturday night in his win over Swick. Think about it for a moment. This guy now has three wins in four UFC bouts. Two of those wins are against top five welterweights Kos and Swick. His lone loss is against a top five welterweight in Jon Fitch. Thus, it is impossible to argue that he shouldn’t be ranked among the division’s best. Thiago is quickly making a case for a title shot. One more win against a top guy like Thiago Alves or a rematch with Kos, and he will be difficult to deny during title discussions.
SWICK LEFT IN PRECARIOUS POSITION
For the first time in his career, Mike Swick must face the prospect of rebounding from back-to-back losses. That is a significant moment in any fighter’s career, especially one with a 14-4 record. Some guys begin to spiral out of control out after back-to-back losses because they lose confidence. Swick doesn’t strike me as that type of guy, but that doesn’t change the fact that his next fight is probably the most important of his career. Dropping two in a row is one thing. Three consecutive losses is another issue altogether.
SERRA’S MEMORABLE BIRTHDAY PRESENT
Next week, Matt Serra’s daughter will celebrate her first birthday—one day after my own, no less. The former 170-lb champion was a bit concerned heading into Saturday’s fight with Frank Trigg that he would be at the party looking like a Cyclops, to use his words. But Serra left the cage with nary a mark on him after bludgeoning Trigg into oblivion in just over two minutes. Watch Serra post-fight interview
By putting his stamp on Trigg, Serra remains relevant in the welterweight wonderland. Now, it is time for him to celebrate both the win and his daughter’s first birthday. The Italian-American makes no bones about his love of pasta and his hatred of having to forego the Paisano staple during the weeks before a fight so that he can make weight. Maybe he’ll celebrate at Angelina’s party with a big tray of lasagna. Watch Trigg post-fight interview | http://www.ufcespanol.com/news/UFC-109-Musings?nd=1 | 2013-05-18T10:41:57 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

UFO Sighting Report - USA
January 8th/9th 2007 : Oakland, California
Oakland, California Multiple Lights And Craft
HBCC UFO Research Note: This UFO event took place over two nights.
Date: January 8, 2007 - (Three craft sighted (or sets of craft in formation)
Time: Approx: 7:00 p.m.
Date: January 9, 2007 - (One craft, or formation of craft sighted)
Time: Approx: 7:30 p.m.
Hi Brian. Myself and a friend were in my backyard getting ready to throw some darts in our shed, when I decided to search for satellites in the night sky. Being from the Mojave desert, I've always been a sky watcher, and I take advantage of the few clear skies that we have in Oakland. After a couple of minutes looking up, I saw a triangular set of lights overhead traveling North at a high rate of speed. There were six lights in a delta pattern, and I'm still not sure if it was one craft, or a formation of smaller craft. They appeared to be the size of a 747 flying at approximately 4000ft. My friend failed to see them, as they were faint, and difficult to spot. No noise accompanied the sighting. I should also mention that there were absolutely no jets traveling overhead at the time (which is unusual for an area with three major airports).
Now my eyes are glued to the sky, and within five minutes, another craft or formation flew overhead in the same direction, at the same speed. This time it appeared to be in the shape of a chevron. There were six faint, white lights. My friend unfortunately missed this one as well, but instantly after it faded into the mist and city lights, another set of lights followed it. This last craft (or set of craft) was odd shaped. There were approximately seven faint lights that started as a triangle on the right, but with a couple of lights sticking out to the left. I have a feeling that this was a formation of individual craft. We both saw this odd sighting, and my friend described it as "A set of bowling pins" moving through the sky.
The following night we decided to take a look to see if any more appeared overhead. It was 7:00 and after a half hour, we spot another formation, this time moving NNW. It started out as a V shape, but by the time that it was overhead, the lights changed position with respect to one another. I don't know if it was one object that was pivoting as it was flying, or if these multiple craft were able to change position within close proximity of one another, while moving at an incredibly fast speed. The strange thing about this sighting, was that there was plenty of air traffic at the time. A Boeing 737 and a 767 flew over within seconds of this "thing" passing overhead. I don't know how they wouldn't have been able to see it.
What we saw was not a flock of birds, a conventional aircraft, or any other object commonly known to man. They were large, very fast moving, and were silent as can be. Their lights were defined, and were round and white/cream colored. The craft were able to move from horizon to horizon in about 8 seconds. If I had not been focused on the sky in an attempt to see satellites, I would never have spotted them. Thanks for your time.
Thank you to the witness for the good.] | http://www.ufoinfo.com/sightings/usa/070108.shtml | 2013-05-18T10:53:15 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |
Synopsis: begin to circle. The desperate search for an exiled heir takes Tilda to find the heir who may yet save her House.
Review:
I'm surprised to say I haven't read many epic fantasy books as of late, somehow I seem to have been thrown a lot of YA books my way (both in work and in reviewing), which is odd for me since YA does not tend to be a genre I normally enjoy. So it was kind of nice to find an epic fantasy book come up on the review list, I very much so have missed reading them. Well that and my husband will listen to me talk about epic fantasy books I like a lot more than YA books I like ;)
Anyways, before I started reading a lot of epic fantasy for reviews, I had this preconceived notion that a lot of the stories take place with male leads. And while there are a lot more male leads in epic versus say urban fantasy, there are still plenty of epic with a strong female lead. And this book was one of those such books. The lead in this case is Tilda, she really is kind of an awesome character. She is strong and can certainly hold her own against pretty much anyone. In fact I have to mention of all of the women characters I have read I don't know that all of them have had the command that she does over so many weapons.
I think that in general the writer did a really good job of putting together a world and a situation that captivates the reader. The plot is quick moving and kept me wanting to know what was going to happen next. I thought the the author did a really good job at world building. I think that is one of the harder parts for epic fantasy because they literally get to create a world completely from scratch, however they want to make it to fit their imagination. I think the author did a pretty good job with world building. I think the thing I enjoy most about the book though the author's ability to mesh together elements of different genres and put together a cohesive and enjoyable read.
There is certainly a lot to be said about the book itself, but it's kind of hard to do it without revealing a lot of spoilers. That being said the book is really a good read. I do have to mention the book is a bit on the longer side of books, so this is probably going to be a book that you get invested in as well as maybe take a couple of days to read the book. But in general I think the book is a pretty good one and anyone who likes epic fantasy but is looking for an epic fantasy with a bit of a twist, you should check out this book.
Thanks much Kathryn for delving into "Epic" to give The Sable City a read. :-)
If you're interested in continuing with the series, let me know and I can get copies to you in any of the usual e-ways.

I actually really love epic, I just don't get the chance to jump into it as often as I would like, so this was a great read for me.

I prefer to dress " business like" myself. Maybe its a female thing lol. I just find that fro some reason I'm more productive that way then if I were to dress comfortably. Im really not sure why but maybe its just that if I'm dressed up I know I'm there for business?
I think it is always better to suit your attire to what kind of business are you in or where is your meeting place. It is not appropriate to wear formal clothing if you're meeting is on a private resort or something like that.I think it is always better to suit your attire to what kind of business are you in or where is your meeting place. It is not appropriate to wear formal clothing if you're meeting is on a private resort or something like that.
To be honest, I wear jeans and a t-shirt. Pretty casual. I would hate going to work in a suite and tie.
My business doesn't involve meeting clients face to face so I can wear what I like - usually jeans and a tee. If I was meeting up with clients I would try and keep it smart/casual - depending on the occasion and where we were meeting.
I always dress business-casual because it's the most versatile style. I can wear a shirt with a tie + jeans if I have a meeting/lunch or a shirt + short coat. I don't really like wearing suits because they're a bit uncomfortable and I don't like wearing dress shoes. All in all, since I'm young I can get away with my business casual style, maybe when I'm over 50 and have a couple millions in my bank account I'll consider wearing a fancy suit.
for office work i wear shirt ,simple pant ,leather shoes and tie because for business purpose i have to be gentle and seems good looking . it is most important thing for a good business man.
I'll wear a suit for business meetings, but on a day-to-day basis I dress more casually when I work on my business.
I tend to go with business casual while I'm working: khaki's and a button down shirt with the sleeves rolled up. I think it makes me look cool. When I'm meeting a new client though I make sure to "suit up" in a well tailored getup.
I think the way you dress for business reflects how you view your business as well as what your business is all about. For example, in my office, we are required to wear business casual attire. I tend to stick to a more conservative definition of this and wear skirts, khakis, blouses, etc. This is my career choice and I am a mid level manager. I take my job seriously and want to communicate that to everyone around me. Younger, less career oriented employees take a more liberal approach and wear flip flops instead of sandals, jeans instead of dress pants, and more "flavorful" tops. This isn't to say that they don't take their jobs seriously, but the aren't projecting the same statements with their attire. HOwever, in my husband's business, it is a service oriented affair where employees are expected to get dirty. We have a dress code, but we expect the employees to dress for a hard day's work where they will be getting dirty. | http://www.ukbusinessminds.co.uk/forums/showthread.php/230-How-Do-You-Dress-For-Business?p=4922 | 2013-05-18T10:53:30 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

PwC information
Private sector jobs could be significantly affected by public sector spending cuts but will not cause double-dip recession, says PwC research
· Industries such as the outsourcing market could help alleviate potential combined public and private sector job losses due to public sector spending cuts
· Public sector spending cuts could reduce private sector gross output by around £46 billion per annum by 2014/15
Almost half a million private sector jobs could be lost as a result of the upcoming public sector spending cuts and private sector gross output could be reduced by around £46 billion per annum by 2014/15 due to the impact on suppliers to the public sector, according to a new PwC report, “Sectoral and regional impact of the fiscal squeeze”, published today. When combined with OBR public sector job loss forecasts, nearly one million could face unemployment due to public sector cuts. However, the report also highlights the potential for job creation in the private sector resulting from more employment opportunities coming from increased activity in areas such as the outsourcing market and interest rates staying lower for longer due to the fiscal consolidation..
Jon Sibson, partner and head of public sector at PwC, continued:
. Organisations with flexible supplies of labour, such as manpower service providers, will have new opportunities in future. Partnerships between government and private sector manpower providers could be put in place to performance manage and retrain staff, find new employment for them where possible, and to manage redundancies when necessary. ”
Regional impact on employment
For the UK as a whole, as the table below shows, total job losses arising from the public sector spending cuts including knock-on effects on the private sector might amount to around 3.4% of total employment (around 943,000 jobs in absolute terms) in 2014/15. For Northern Ireland this might rise to around 5.2% (around 36,000 jobs in absolute terms), compared to around 3.1% in London and the South East. However, the latter two regions could see around 230,000 job losses in absolute terms given the larger size of their economies. Scotland might see job losses of around 95,000 and Wales around 52,000. Impacts also vary within regions – within Yorkshire and Humberside, for example, the analysis shows that Leeds may suffer less than Hull due to its stronger private services sector.

It should be noted that the impacts in Tables 1 and 2 relate only to the negative impacts on output and employment from the planned public spending cuts up to 2014/15. They do not include potential additional negative impacts from planned tax rises (although these are much smaller than the spending cuts) or offsetting positive impacts from interest rates being lower for longer than without this fiscal consolidation. This is because these effects, while potentially substantial, are difficult to identify at regional and sectoral level as compared to the impact of public spending cuts.
John Hawksworth, chief economist at PwC, commented further:
“The business services sector faces the largest impacts in absolute terms with a potential output loss of around 4% and around 180,000 job cuts due to reduced public sector demand in current areas of operation. There are signs that the Coalition government may shift the boundary between the public and private sector in some areas, so opening up potential new areas for business services, for example working with voluntary sector organisations on offender rehabilitation. Therefore, while the business services sector will employ fewer people in existing areas of public sector work, new areas will be created over time, resulting in offsetting employment opportunities.
“The construction sector could see even larger relative cuts with an output loss of around 5% leading to around 100,000 job cuts. This reflects the greater exposure of this sector to cuts in public sector capital investment, which are particularly severe. Other smaller sub-sectors, such as office machinery and defence contractors, could see even larger relative cuts in output and jobs given their heavy reliance on public sector customers. The challenge for these businesses will be to diversify into other markets, both in the UK and overseas.”
To mitigate the impact of the forthcoming spending cuts on public and private sector jobs and output, and if government is to meet its stated aim of ‘creating a fairer and more balanced economy’, the report highlights two important areas for government to address:
Managing the transition through innovative approaches to workforce reform: Government needs to be more active in planning its workforce strategy, both in terms of retaining key talent as well as managing reductions in a way which minimises the impact on unemployment by re-skilling and redeploying displaced public sector employees.
Leveraging private sector investment to fill the infrastructure funding gap: As well as being sensitive to the regional impacts, cuts in capital spending should be made in ways that maximise the chances that the private sector will act to bridge some of the consequent investment gaps.
Jon Sibson, partner and head of public sector at PwC concluded:
“The ultimate solution to this country’s fiscal imbalances is a robust return to growth but this should not be growth of any kind or at any cost. Growth in the UK has been imbalanced for many years across sectors and regions and it would be desirable to correct these imbalances where possible and put more emphasis on financial, social and environmental sustainability.
“The new Regional Growth Fund will play an important role but may need more funding over time as it, and equivalent measures in the devolved administrations, may not provide enough incentive or access to funds to make a material difference.”

Box Score
PRINCESS ANNE, Md. --Dominique Cowell and Louis Bell each scored 14 points for the University of Maryland Eastern Shore in its four-point loss to Howard University. UMES held a 12-point lead with 10:50 remaining in the second half before losing the game 49-45 to its Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference opponent.
UMES opened the game with a three-pointer by Cowell, as the Hawks would go on to lead by as many as eight-points (15-7) at 10:29 in the first half. The Bison had cut the Hawks lead to one by 6:47, but would trail UMES for the remainder of the half. Ishaq Pitt would score a layup with two seconds before intermission to give UMES a three-point lead (22-19) at the end of the first half.
The Hawks scored nine points off of the Bison's nine turnovers in the first period, and added five second-chance points. Bell opened the second half similar to Cowell in the first period, with a three pointer. Bell was 3-of-6 (.500) from behind the three-point arc. Cowell was 4-of-8 (.500) from the same area.
Up six points with 14:04 remaining in the second half from a jumper by Bell, the Hawks followed that score with two points by Pitt. Bell returned down the court to score another three-pointer, lifting the Hawks lead to its highest of that game at that time.
Bell would score back-to-back three pointers for the Hawks, with his second in a two-minute span giving UMES its largest lead of the game with 10:50 remaining in the game. The Bison would go on a 14-2 run in the course of two-and-a-half minutes, to trail the Hawks by two points with 8:36 left in the contest.
Kevin Mays, who finished with six points, scored the Hawks' only basket between the 10:12 and 8:36 mark. Neither team would score a bucket until a Howard player scored a three pointer to take the lead 38-37. It was the first time the opponent led in the game.
A layup by Pitt and eventual three pointer by Cowell cut the Bison lead to two points (47-45) with 19 seconds remaining in the game. Forced to foul, UMES would give up two points at the free-throw line, leaving it no time to score as time ran off the clock.
The Hawks return to action March 2 to face Morgan State at 4:00 p.m. at Morgan State. | http://www.umeshawks.com/sports/m-baskbl/recaps/022613aaa.html | 2013-05-18T10:22:04 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Coca plants. Photo: H. Zell
22 June 2010 The cultivation of the raw material for cocaine has declined significantly in Colombia, the world’s leading producer of coca, but the situation in Peru remains worrying with the amount of the narcotic grown there consistently rising, the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime (UNODC) reported today.
Overall, crop surveys show the amount of coca grown in the four Andean countries of Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador and Peru dropping by five per cent from 167,000 hectares in 2008 to 158,000 hectares in 2009, according to the agency.
In Colombia, coca cultivation declined by 16 per cent to 68,000 hectares, a drop of almost 60 per cent since the peak production period a decade ago.
“The drug control policy adopted by the Colombian Government over the past few years – combining security and development – is paying off,” said UNODC Executive Director Antonio Maria Costa. Cocaine production in Colombia fell to 410 tons, a nine per cent year-on-year reduction.
The UNODC said cultivating coca in Colombia has become riskier and less profitable for organized crime, noting that coca farmers barely earn over $1 a day. The total farm-gate value of coca production has dropped by 21 per cent, to below half a billion dollars, which is 0.2 per cent of Colombia’s gross domestic product (GDP). Coca plots are becoming smaller, more dispersed and less productive, thus increasing the demand of local communities for alternative legal sources of livelihood.
Colombia’s action against coca cultivation and cocaine production has been matched by effective anti-trafficking policies. Cocaine seizures within Colombia reached 200 tons in 2009, a significant percentage of the cocaine produced.
In Peru, coca cultivation has continued to rise for the fourth year in a row, having gone up 6.8 per cent to 59,900 hectares last year, compared to 56,100 hectares in 2008. Some 55 per cent more coca is now grown in Peru than a decade ago, although this year’s total is still half of what it was two decades ago, according to UNODC.
“If the current trend continues, Peru will soon overtake Colombia as the world’s biggest coca producer – a notorious status that it has not had since the mid-1990s,” Mr. Costa warned.
“I invite the Peruvian Government to take concerted action on all fronts to improve the delivery of public health and security by expanding sustainable livelihood initiatives, drug prevention and treatment programmes, law enforcement and regional cooperation,” he added.
There was little change in coca cultivation in Bolivia with the land under coca increasing by one per cent to 30,900 hectares, twice the size of the area a decade ago.
“More eradication and greater support for development, not least for alternative livelihoods, are needed in the Yungas and Chapare regions,” Mr. Costa said. “Urgent action is also required to repair the environmental damage caused to regions that have been severely affected by mono-cultivation of coca crops,” he added.
UNODC said market forces seem to be making coca less profitable. In 2009, Bolivia’s coca farmers earned 10 per cent less for the coca leaf – $265 million in 2009, down from .
UNODC said that due to the ongoing review of conversion factors from coca leaves to pure cocaine, it is not putting an estimate on the level of cocaine production in Bolivia and Peru this year.
As a result of the uncertainty, global cocaine production in 2009 was estimated as being within a range of between 842 and 1,111 tons. These surveys refer to coca cultivation only.
UNODC will tomorrow launch its 2010 World Drug Report, which will present a complete global picture of the cocaine market, including demand, trafficking and supply.

What is extreme poverty and hunger? These words mean different things to people living under different conditions and in different countries.
What is extreme poverty and hunger? These words mean different things to people living under different conditions and in different countries.
By Nicolette Jones
I believe it is unrealistic for any country to achieve all eight Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) by 2015, the target year. Moreover, the improvement in some MDGs may work to the detriment of other MDGs.. What is extreme poverty and hunger? These words mean different things to people living under different conditions and in different countries. Using one US dollar per day as the poverty marker could be problematic in some economies. In India, for example, $1 is equal to A44. When sugar prices increased to A50-60 per kilogramme, what could be purchased for A44? The point I am making is that having a fixed amount of $1 is problematic because the exchange rate fluctuates, and ten years ago what could have given a family a basic meal, could probably not even buy a kilogramme of flour today. In his book Introduction to the Sociology of Development,1 Andrew Webster stated that “poverty is a relative term, a condition that can only be defined by comparing the circumstances of one group of people or of an entire economy with another.” Webster explained that the problem of defining poverty arose “since the measures one uses to compare populations will depend on a whole range of assumptions about the adequate standards of living which some enjoy and which some do not.” Sociologist Oscar Lewis posited the theory of the culture of poverty in his book by the same name. He said that the lifestyle of the poor was different from other members of society, thus there was a culture of poverty with its own norms and values.2 Lewis’ theory tells us that poverty is not only a social or economic phenomenon, but also a psychological one. Poverty and hunger usually go hand in hand; however, the poverty line cannot focus only on food costs. What about the costs of electricity, water, medication, and even schooling? With so many factors involved, how do you universally define extreme poverty and hunger, and how do you meet the MDG target? In 1996, the Jamaican Government put in place the National Poverty Eradication Policy and Programme (NPEPP). According to the 2009 National Report of Jamaica on Millennium Development Goals, the NPEPP included “rural electrification, a Social Investment Fund that has greatly assisted early childhood institutions, social services, water and sanitation projects, rural feeder roads, inner-city infrastructure.” 3 In 2002, the Jamaican Government also introduced the Programme of Advancement through Health and Education (PATH). According to PATH, “Children are the main beneficiaries, but PATH also covers the elderly poor, other destitute poor, persons with disabilities, and pregnant and lactating mothers.”4 These efforts could have been the vehicles fuelling Jamaica’s achievement of MDG 1, or so it is said on paper. The 2009 Report indicated that Jamaica had achieved two targets in MDG 1: to halve between 1990 and 2015 the proportion of people below the poverty line; and to reduce by half the proportion of people who suffer from hunger. In 1990, 28.4 per cent of Jamaicans were living below the poverty line, but by 2007 it was reduced to 9.9 per cent. The proportion of the population living below the minimum level of dietary consumption went down from 8.3 per cent in 1990, to 2.9 per cent in 2007. However, the report stated that the achievement of MDG 1 was “vulnerable to exogenous shocks and thus is likely to be unsustainable under the global recession.”5 I believe that achieving MDG 1 is much more than putting statistics on paper. Development is more than numbers, it is about people. What each country must do in attempting to achieve the MDGs, is make the goals specific to their country. The United Nations must give an outline and it is up to the leaders of countries to tailor the programmes to fit their specific situation, thus achieving the MDGs, including the first goal, on their terms. A statistical report does not show progress in development and may be deceiving; what is important is what is not on paper. Notes 1 A.

Australia ready to sign second phase of Kyoto protocol9 November 2012
UN Chief applauds Australia’s readiness to join a second Kyoto Protocol commitment period.
9 November, 2012 –Australia will sign up to a second commitment period of the Kyoto protocol on the condition that developed and developing countries work toward a new global climate change agreement by 2015, Australia’s Climate Change Minister Greg Combet announced.
"Australia is taking this position to the UN Conference at Doha in a very clear context," Combet said in a speech to the Australian Carbon Expo in Melbourne. Combet added that Australia's commitment to the second Kyoto period was based on the understanding that developing and developed countries alike would work toward the new agreement.
The Kyoto Protocol is an international agreement that sets binding targets for industrialized countries for reducing greenhouse gas emissions. As the first commitment period expires at the end of 2012, the details for a second commitment to the Protocol will be a focus of negotiations at the Doha Climate Conference later this month.
UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon hailed the announcement of the Australian Government to join a second commitment period of the Kyoto Protocol and congratulated Prime Minister Gillard for her leadership.
Through his spokesperson, the Secretary-General said that addressing climate change is fundamental for achieving sustainable development and all governments should take decisive steps against climate change at the upcoming Climate Change Conference, in Doha.
Joining a second commitment period will ensure Australian businesses have access to international credits under the Clean Development Mechanism, helping Australia reduce emissions at the lowest cost to the economy. Australia joins 36 other countries in planning to take on a Kyoto target to restrain emissions between 2013 and 2020.
Christiana Figueres, Executive Secretary of the UN’s Climate Change Convention, via Twitter, welcomed the announcement and said it would be good for Australia’s economy as well as the upcoming Climate Change Conference | http://www.un.org/wcm/content/site/climatechange/pages/gateway/the-negotiations/template/news_item.jsp?cid=37117 | 2013-05-18T10:26:32 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Can you tell I had a great weekend? It was a long, hot and exhausting weekend. But it really was a great one!
I may have mentioned before that my basement is starting to look like it should be the topic of the next episode of the reality show Hoarders. Everything we brought from our apartment (10+ years worth of stuff) was stored in our basement. Added to that was boxes and boxes of stuff that was in my parents' attic. Things that were in my room in their old house when I was a kid/pre-teen/young-adult. So, what's that? Like 40 years worth of memories (and junk)?
For months, my friend Barb and I have been trying to pick a date to hold a yard sale. On Wednesday of this week, Barb called me to see if I wanted to hold the yard sale over the weekend. Knowing that I wanted to unload some stuff, I agreed, even though I thought it was too short notice to really manage a decet sale.
It's one thing to know that you want to have a sale, it's another to actually sort through all those years worth of stuff to determine what will be kept and what will be sold. Plus, everything has to be priced. I only have time to do things like that when Grace is asleep. Of course, both Wednesday and Thursday nights she was not willing to cooperate at bedtime.
But on Friday we sorted through a lot of stuff and got everything priced and ready to sell on Saturday morning. Barb and I sold a lot! More than half of all the items we put out sold! Most of what is left will be taken to our local thrift shop to be donated. Even with all that sold, I still have a lot more stuff to sort through in both the basement and the attic, so I am hoping to have another sale in the early fall. Our neighbors want in on that one after seeing how much traffic we had on Saturday!
Anyway, In addition to being very tired, I feel very happy and very accomplished today and am very excited to jump back into menu planning.
Although we are still trying to use up what's in our freezer and pantry, we did do a larger shopping order this weekend to pick up some boneless chicken breast, some ground beef and some fresh vegetables. What we bought today, should last us a couple of weeks if not more. I will still be focusing on using as many ingredients as I can from our freezer and pantry. my previous post about FREE Activia Selects Yogurt!

Your veggie fritters look amazing! Congrats on your successful yard sale, too.
I keep saying I need to have a yard sale and get rid of stuff. Any chance you and Barb want to help me sort through all the stuff that has been cluttering my home for years? I now have tons of clothes to get rid of too. I have been donating to goodwill and giving some away to friends but there is so much with tags still on I can't bare to give away and could really use the money. Congrats on your clean out. Hope your next one is just as successful. | http://www.underthebigoaktree.com/2011/08/menu-plan-monday-week-of-august-8th.html | 2013-05-18T10:41:48 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [

Artist: Rocky Loves Emily
Album: Secrets Don’t Make Friends
Genre: Pop
Label: Tooth And Nail
If the biggest music related problem solved by the dawn of social media is the ability to discover and connect with new talent, the biggest issue it has created is helping those same artists hold your attention. Before we were all digitally intertwined, bands built relationships with fans through constant touring, fan mail, press, and most importantly, music. Now, music may pull new listeners in, but more often than not the music then takes a backseat to communication, branding, and pretty much everything related to the “identity” of a group, which in turn aides in further flooding the current alternative music landscape with mediocre talent who would otherwise find themselves seeking other interests.
So what is a new band to do? For Michigan’s Rocky Loves Emily, the answer was simple: Write better songs.
Coming off a modest reaction to their Tooth And Nail debut EP, the members of Rocky Loves Emily spent the better part of 2011 learning not just about the state of their scene, but about themselves. This is theoretical of course, as I am not in the band and only know them as well as any writer can know a group with a busy touring schedule, but having experienced their first full length it is evident that some clear realizations have been made. Where The American Dream EP showcased a young group boasting amateur hooks and good intentions of making an honest genre out of pop rock, Secrets Don’t Make Friends opens with a band grown into adulthood and wastes no time making good on their promise to again legitimize the scene.
There is no one song, or handful of songs that can summarize or truly encapsulate what makes Secrets Don’t Make Friends such a powerful record for RLE, though most of the songs sonically stand on their own with no issue. What makes this record great is something that must be experienced, again and again, with each repetition furthering affirming the enjoyment taken away from the previous spin. Rocky Love Emily have realized the commonality of themes and sounds in the pop genre, added to the mix a year spent growing up on the road, and damn near flawlessly designed an album that never has a dull moment. Even if a lyrical theme or percussion section feels a bit familiar, the other instrumentation and atmosphere surrounding that element is so completely unique to the world of RLE that you instantly forgive and move on. They shed everything that associated them with everyone else, tore every note from the book, and returned with a stronger focus than before. For lack of a better phrase, it’s guilt-free pop music.
This may come off as someone taking a light genre way too seriously, but these are young men in their twenties chasing a dream that only a handful ever achieve and that deserves respect regardless of genre. Especially in pop, which more than any genre can be pigeonholed for becoming repetitive, RLE are pushing themselves (and in doing so, the genre as a whole) to visit and revisit musical characteristics that much of the industry has begun to look past. You will not find dub waves, songs based on text phrases, or party anthems for drunken minors here, but you will find the most promising pop release of 2012.
Score: 9/10

One of the unfortunate aspects of athletics is that injuries do occur. However, the 500-plus athletes from UND's 21 athletic teams are under excellent care thanks to the UND Divison of Sports Medicine and its umbrella of staff, facilities and training.
With a staff of nine faculty athletic trainers, two graduate assistant athletic trainers and 30 athletic training students headed by director of sports medicine Steve Westereng, UND student-athletes are in good hands, returning them quickly and safely to participation.
The UND Division of Sports Medicine was formed in 1990. Additionally, the development of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training Degree and the UND Center for Sports Medicine was founded. The athletic training education program was the first program in the nation to be placed directly in a school of medicine and is housed within the Department of Family Medicine and combines the efforts of the UND Athletic Training program and the UND School of Medicine and Health Sciences.
Before the transition, UND did not offer a major in athletic training. It was only a field of concentration in the College of Arts and Sciences.
UND's progressive thinking makes the institution a leader in the field of athletic training. Moreover, the program's affiliation with the School of Medicine helps both the athletic training student and the student-athlete. Completion of the Bachelor of Science in Athletic Training allows the student to sit for the National Athletic Trainer's Association Board of Certification exam to become a Certified Athletic Trainer (ATC). The student-athletes also benefit from having a wealth of competent individuals.
In order to be accepted into the athletic training program, which is accredited by the Commission on Accreditation of Athletic Training Education (CAATE), a student must complete 100 hours of observation, fill out a formal application, and have a minimum GPA of 2.75.
The Division of Sports Medicine also has an outpatient facility, the UND Center for Sports Medicine, which specializes in rehabilitation of orthopedic injuries. UND student athletes, as well as the general public, utilize this facility to decrease pain, increase strength, and improve range of motion of injuries. Many of the injuries seen in the Center for Sports Medicine are significant, such as pre and post surgical issues. The Center is staffed by Cathy Ziegler (PT, ATC) and Robin Tracy (PT, ATC, DPT, CSCS), who have experience with high school, college, and professional athletes. | http://www.undsports.com/ViewArticle.dbml?PALBID=359332&DB_OEM_ID=13500&ATCLID=749963 | 2013-05-18T10:31:24 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Description
- Opera dei Pupi, Sicilian puppet theatre

PATON, LONG RECORD THREE POINTS APIECE AS #4 WOMEN'S HOCKEY SKATES PAST #8 UCONN, 4-1
STORRS, Conn.
– Kelly Paton (Woodstock, Ontario) and
Micaela Long (South Boston, Mass.) recorded three
points apiece to propel the fourth-ranked University of New
Hampshire women’s ice hockey team to Sunday afternoon’s
4-1 victory against eighth-ranked University of Connecticut in
Hockey East action at the Freitas Ice Forum.
UNH, which extended its unbeaten streak vs. the Huskies to 16 games (14-0-2) with its fifth straight win in the series, is now 16-6-5 overall and 10-5-2-0 in Hockey East. UConn, which entered the game with a nine-game winning streak as part of an 11-game unbeaten streak (10-0-1), falls to 18-7-5, 9-4-4-1.
Paton finished the game with a goal and two assists while Long tallied three assists. Kristina Lavoie (Fonthill, Ontario) extended her goal-scoring streak to 11 games and Lindsey Minton (Richardson, Texas) recorded 24 saves defending the UNH goal with nine stops in both the first and third periods.
UConn goalie Alexandra Garcia was credited with 14 saves.
UNH skated to a 2-1 lead in the first period. The Wildcats took a 1-0 lead at 6:00 on the third goal of the year by Sarah Cuthbert (East Falmouth, Mass.). Shannon Sisk (Pipersville, Pa.) initiated the scoring sequence when she gathered a loose puck in the neutral zone and attacked along the left wing. After drawing a pair of defenders, Sisk slid the puck across to Cuthbert and she lifted a shot into the open right side of the net.
UConn went on the first power play of the game at 6:45, and moments later Minton made an athletic save as she shifted from the top of the crease to the left post to deny Brittany Murphy on a backdoor play.
UNH went on a power play immediately following that penalty kill and capitalized on the skater advantage to extend the advantage to 2-0 at 9:00. Paton knocked down a high puck at the right point to keep possession in the offensive zone and then she moved the puck to the high slot, where Courtney Birchard (Mississauga, Ontario) blasted a slapshot through traffic into the upper-right corner of the net. Long was also credited with an assist.
The Huskies trimmed the deficit to 2-1 at 11:22 when Lisa Stathopulos’ pass from the right corner was one-timed in the slot by Jennifer Chaisson into the upper-left corner of the cage.
With just over five minutes remaining in the first period, Lavoie led a UNH rush down the left wing. Long, cutting down the slot, fired a one-timer towards the right post that was directed aside by Garcia’s extended left leg pad.
With two minutes left in the opening stanza, UConn’s Kelly Horan blocked a shot in the high slot to create a breakaway opportunity for herself. Horan charged down the middle of the ice and, from close range, attempted to shovel a shot underneath Minton. The UNH goalie, with legs split apart on the ice, preserved the Wildcats’ one-goal lead by stoning Horan.
In the scoreless second period, Brittany Skudder (Plainview, N.Y.) generated one of UNH’s most dangerous scoring chances in a rush against two defenders. Skating down the slot, Skudder slipped the puck slightly forward and maneuvered around the defenseman to set up a quick shot that Garcia turned aside with her left leg pad.
In the 13th minute of the middle stanza, UConn generated a 2-on-1 rush in which Michelle Binning carried the puck down the left wing. She centered the puck to Cristin Allen, whose shot from the slot was blocked aside by Minton.
UConn was whistled for a major penalty at 2:31 of the third period, and UNH scored less than one minute later to build a 3-1 lead. From the right point, Paton swung the puck down low to Long, who quickly threw the puck in the low slot to Lavoie. Lavoie’s initial shot attempt was thwarted, but she maintained possession and jammed the puck inside the right post at 3:25.
With the Huskies on the power play in the eighth minute, Rebecca Hewett rifled a high shot from the slot through traffic, but Minton knocked down the puck with her glove.
At 12:30, UConn’s Stathopulos broke in 1-on-1 down the left wing. She skated around the defenseman and cut back to the low slot but was denied by Minton, who slid from the left post to the top of the crease. The home team sustained pressure and Hewett’s low one-timer from the left circle was also stopped by Minton’s leg pads.
UConn pulled Garcia in favor of an extra skater with just over two minutes remaining in the game, but Long quickly moved the puck off the dashers into the neutral zone. Paton corralled the puck behind the defense and skated from the left circle towards the open net and fired a shot into the cage to extend the advantage to 4-1 at 18:22.
New Hampshire returns to action next weekend – Feb. 13 & 14 -- with a two-game home series vs. the University of Vermont. Both games at the Whittemore Center begin at 2 p.m. | http://www.unhwildcats.com/sports/wice/2009-10/releases/20100207n9oeas | 2013-05-18T10:12:29 | CC-MAIN-2013-20 | 1368696382261 | [] |

Progress for Children: A Report Card on Water and Sanitation (No.5)
Unsafe water and the lack of basic sanitation and adequate hygiene contribute to the leading killers of children under five, including diarrhoeal diseases, pneumonia and undernutrition, and have implications for whether children, especially girls, attend school. This means that achieving Millennium Development Goal 7 and its 2015 targets of reducing by half the proportion of people without sustainable access to safe drinking water and basic sanitation are of vital relevance for children and for improving nutrition, education and women's status. Progress for Children: A Report Card on Water and Sanitation will report on whether the world is on course to reach MDG 7 - and where efforts are falling short. [PDF]

New UNOSAT collaborative mapping initiative wins support of George Soros’ foundation
February 2012, Geneva, Switzerland - Another innovative project involving collaborative mapping and cyberscience will see the light this year thanks to support from the Open Society Foundations. The Foundations, established by George Soros, have the mission “to increase public access to knowledge, facilitate civil society communication, and protect civil liberties and the freedom to communicate in the digital environment.”
The new project, dubbed ForestWatchers, is one of the Cybermappr applications and a spin off of the renowned Citizen Cyberscience Centre (CCC), created by UNITAR, CERN, and the University of Geneva to serve as incubator of innovative ideas in cyberscience and collaborative distributed thinking. ForestWatchers was born from an idea floated by UNOSAT experts, that of mapping actual deforestation in Brazil. The project partners include the Brazilian National Institute for Space Research (INPE), the Federal University of São Paulo (UNIFESP), and the Federal University of Western Pará (UFOPA).
The aim of the initiative is to use citizen-based collaborative computing to sustain a deforestation monitoring system based on satellite imagery analysis and crowd-sourcing. ForestWatchers will also integrate the latest UNOSAT methodologies in crowdsourcing and geo-tagging. The project is designed to generate both research results and operational output: in the first year the plan is to evaluate the benefits and limitations of public participation via the Web in this sort of exercise; during the second year, the project will switch to production mode, providing volunteer-assisted deforestation assessments. These may be used for example to supplement local research in countries and regions with limited infrastructure and manpower.
“Citizen Cyberscience” is relatively new but already in use in a variety of online projects where individual volunteers or networks of volunteers, many of whom may have little or no scientific training, perform research-related tasks such as observation, measurement or computation. This approach offers a “low-cost solution for strengthening the scientific infrastructure and engage members of the public in science”, says Francois Grey who coordinates the scientific area of CCC and is involved in some key projects like the successful Cybermappr “Geo-Tag Libya” experiment.
The long-term, bold vision of this project is for ordinary citizens around the globe to play an active role in monitoring a large share of the world’s remaining forests. Francesco Pisano, Manager of UNOSAT, says: “these projects are a way to research our idea of expert crowd-sourcing. We want to create applications that involve citizens in much more than one-way basic crowd sourcing; this is direct participation in global issues that can be solved only through a participatory model at large scale”.
The project will be launched publicly to coincide with the Rio+20 events planned in Brazil in 2012, to emphasize the importance of public participation in climate science.

Geospatial information to the rescue of cultural heritage protection in conflicts and disasters
December 2011, Seoul, Republic of Korea - The International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS) organised its first international conference in Seoul in December 2011 around the theme of "Protecting the World's Cultural Heritage in Times of Change: Emergency, Preparedness and Response". The meeting was co-hosted by the National Museum of Korea and by the International Council of Museums (ICOM). The Conference adopted the Seoul Declaration on the Protection of Cultural Heritage in Emergency Situations, emphasizing the need for cross-sectorial collaboration in the area of the protection of cultural heritage in emergency situations.
UNOSAT was invited to update international cultural heritage professionals, museums directors, as well as experts from the military, humanitarian aid and meteorological organisations, on the use of advanced GIS and satellite analysis to help locate, monitor and protect valuable cultural heritage in times of crisis and disasters. Over the years and in several crises, a number of UNOSAT maps and analyses have been used by cultural heritage experts to support assessment missions and protection operations. Although these products were not produced by UNOSAT for this specific use, they have been recognized as useful for ICOM’s Disaster Relief Task Force in crises and disasters in Lebanon, Libya, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, India, Haiti, Georgia, and Kyrgyzstan. Francesco Pisano of UNOSAT says “in a way we have been working together for years already without a direct official cooperation link; what we are planning now will bring the use of geospatial information to a higher level in this important domain of emergency response”.
The Blue Shield is the cultural equivalent of the Red Cross. It is the symbol specified in the 1954 Hague Convention for the Protection of Cultural Property in the Event of Armed Conflict for marking cultural sites to give them protection from attack in the event of armed conflict. It is also the name of an the international committee set up in 1996 to work to protect the world's cultural heritage threatened by war, man-made and natural disasters.
The International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS) gathers a unique body of expertise, it is international, independent and professional and it mission is to work for the protection of the world's cultural heritage by co-ordinating preparations to meet and respond to emergency situations.
UNOSAT and ICBS are discussing ways to develop joint research and operations to respond to crises but also to anticipate them by developing prevention and data preparedness methods. The text of the Seoul Declaration takes stock of the potential of geospatial technology and provides a good basis for further engagement by UNOSAT in the area of cultural heritage protection. Referring to the future, Julien Anfruns, president of the International Committee of the Blue Shield (ICBS) and director general of the International Council of Museums (ICOM), said “from now on, we will need to focus on gathering adequate resources to protect the world’s heritage. We already have the knowledge and access to the technical and human resources. However, there is a need for adapted fundraising mechanisms in order to extend our action and make this much-needed international public service mission a reality”.

Universities Australia today thanks outgoing Innovation Minister, Senator Kim Carr, for his outstanding contribution to research, science, discovery and innovation in Australia.
Chair of Universities Australia, Professor Glyn Davis said, "Kim Carr would easily rate as one of the best Ministers ever to lead the research portfolio. His dedication and passion have been exceptional, and he truly understands the impact that the combination of research, industry and education has on a nation's productivity and potential.
"Minister Carr believes in the importance of research - for its capacity to expand knowledge, and for the spur innovation provides for so many fields of human endeavour. Research makes innovation possible, a point Kim Carr stressed in his work both as Shadow Minister and in Government.
"Since taking the reins in 2007, Minister Carr has introduced important initiatives within the portfolio aimed at stimulating and driving research and innovation within universities, government agencies, backyard garages, and importantly throughout industry.
"The unprecedented Commonwealth funding boost following the Cutler Review in 2008 stands as perhaps the most tangible confirmation of his commitment to the portfolio. While this injection received relatively little local media attention at the time, it was recognised throughout the world as a bold and most enviable announcement. It was evidence of an Australian Government focused on the nation's long-term future.
"Related initiatives, including the appointment of a full-time Chief Scientist, continued support for the CRC program, changes to research support, the establishment of Enterprise Connect and Commercialisation Australia and the ongoing support for the Australian Research Council are further indications of Kim Carr's passion and personal innovation.
"The sector is highly appreciative of the passion, knowledge and effort which Kim Carr has put into the science, research, discovery and innovation agenda.
"It is rare to see someone who loved his subject matter so much. We trust that his tremendous contributions to this portfolio will endure," Professor Davis concluded.

Abstract
Both institutional and ambulatory techniques have been utilized in the detoxification of addicts from narcotics. This study was designed to provide empirical data on attrition from an outpatient programme for hard core heroin addicts. The background and treatment characteristics of 86 addict-patients were analysed. Education, marital status, and the abuse of other drugs concurrently with heroin were the only variables analysed to the extent that they determine whether or not the addict remains under treatment until the detoxification process is completed. A multivariant analysis isolated the concurrent abuse of other drugs with heroin as the most potent predictor for remaining in treatment.
Until quite recently the detoxification of opiate addicts in the United States was accomplished only in institutional or inpatient settings. In 1969, Wieland and Chambers [ 17, 18] reported the first results of a large scale attempt to detoxify addicts entirely as outpatients. Controversy about the relative efficacy of these two contrasting approaches has yet to be resolved.
Advocates of the inpatient technique point to the high incidence of concurrent psychiatric illness and the adverse social influences surrounding narcotic addicts as necessitating hospitalization. For example, Hekimian and Gershon [ 9] recently reported that 50 per cent of a sample of 22 heroin addicts at the Bellevue Psychiatric Hospital in New York City suffered from sociopathic personality disorders before addiction occurred and that the incidence of addiction among related family members-a potent recidivist force-was reported in 20 per cent of the cases. They went on to indicate that 50 per cent of their respondents reported that "a search for euphoria" was the primary reason for narcotic use. This was interpreted as evidence of chronic underlying clinical depression. In support of their argument of adverse social influences, the writers indicated that an additional 22 per cent of their subjects reportedly used narcotics because of "influence by friends and environment."
Others [ 4] , however, point out that institutions, at least in the United States, have too often been used as "dumping grounds" for social deviants and other "undesirables" and that utilization of inpatient facilities for the treatment of addiction can represent disengagement both on the part of the community, at the time of hospitalization, and on the part of the hospital staff, at the time of discharge. And despite the necessary preparation during hospitalization to utilize community services, to obtain productive employment, and to build the ego to resist negative social pressures, long-term hospitalization can produce an "institutional personality" less able to face the exigencies of the social setting. Writers such as Freeman and Simmons [ 7] [ 14] have well documented the difficulties in rehabilitating and reintegrating hospitalized psychiatric patients. One writer, Kurland [ 11] [ 12] even suggests that in view of the poor clinical and social results obtained from inpatient treatment, prolonged hospitalization is unwarranted. Results derived from numerous empirical follow-up studies of patients from inpatient treatment facilities would tend to reinforce Kurland's suggestion [ 3] [ 13] [ 15] [ 16] .
At the operational level, a major consideration of outpatient treatment modalities is that they are much less expensive to operate than inpatient units. When organized properly, outpatient clinics with proportionately smaller numbers of professional and clerical staff than required in an inpatient unit would have the capability of dispensing medication, providing counselling and giving medical, vocational and educational services to a larger number of patients on a daily basis [ 17] [ 18] .
The chief benefit of the outpatient modality for the patient is that even during the detoxification process, he can begin to learn new or re-establish old non-addict social patterns. This time can also be utilized to engage in ego-building experiences such as meaningful family and peer relationships and re-establishing himself in educational or occupational roles.
There is, however, a major clinical disadvantage in the outpatient detoxification modality. This modality, more than any other requires that each patient assume an active role and subsequently the largest share of responsibility for staying in treatment. The patient must come to clinic daily to receive medication and he must also follow the ingesting regimen without supervision.
With the increased incidence of opiate addiction in the United States as well as in other parts of the world, the advantages of having reliable outpatient modalities are obvious. At the present time, however, attrition prior to completing treatment occurs in almost one third of the cases [ 17] [ 18] . If the efficacy of outpatient detoxification is to increase, this premature attrition must be decreased.
This particular study was designed to ascertain what attributes of the addict or his background were associated with terminating treatment prior to attaining abstinence. This design presumes that if the attributes are known, clinicians can better predict which of their addict-patients will require a greater concentration of time and skill.
The selection process
Admission to the outpatient clinic was dependent on having been addicted to a narcotic and living within the geographic boundaries defined as the programme's catchment area. No other selection criteria were utilized. Addicts most frequently hear of the clinic's programme from informal communications on the street with the addicts who are already in treatment. Only a small proportion of referrals come from private physicians or agencies. The admission procedure, at the time of this study, consisted of an intake interview with a social worker or ex-addict counsellor. The counsellor talked with the addict and, when possible, with a member of his family, obtained a brief social and drug history and scheduled the patient for a complete physical cheek-up. Patients were then assigned either to a social worker or ex-addict counsellor, depending on which was available. Before the detoxification process with methadone was initiated, the staff psychiatrist evaluated each patient through a personal interview and a review of the social and drug history taken at intake. The psychiatrist then establishes the medicine regimen.
The treatment process
The detoxification attempt is conducted in the following manner. Patients normally begin treatment with methadone tablets at a dosage of 40 mg per day. Occasionally, patients with "smaller habits" start at 20-30 mg per day and patients with "larger habits" and see on every visit their designated counsellor who may be a social worker or ex-drug addict.
As soon as the patient reflects progress in the area of drug "cheating", criminality and normal social functioning, the daily dosage of methadone is decreased by a 10 mg increment. If the patient continues to show progress at the reduced dosage, the dosage is again reduced and so on until total abstinence of the drug has been maintained. The frequency of clinic visit may also be reduced to a minimum of one per week. In the event of relapse, the dosage and frequency of weekly visits may increase until re-stabilization occurs.
Besides individual counselling, the patients receive vocational and educational counselling, group therapy, and medical services where indicated.
The rate of detoxification is highly individual so that it may take as little as a week or as long as a year or more to complete the process. Treatment relapses are evaluated to determine whether they might benefit from a more intensive treatment, by temporary suspension from treatment, or by transfer to a separate methadone maintenance programme.
Method
To better understand the addict-patients who, in spite of their avowed desire to detoxify, do terminate the detoxification process prior to its completion, two separate statistical analyses were planned. First, as the plan of the study was to ascertain, wherever possible, any significant differences between those who terminated the detoxification process before its completion and those who remained in treatment, a chi-square analysis was planned. A second technique, multi-variant analysis of low frequency events, was utilized with the same dependent variables in an attempt to isolate any predictors of attrition [ 10] .
To accomplish these planned statistical analyses, all addicts admitted to the clinic between 1 August and 1 November, 1968 were defined as the study sample. During this three month period, 86 addicts were admitted into treatment. A cut-off date of March 31, 1969 was chosen. This date provided an 8-month maximum and a 5-month minimum "at risk of attrition" period. Completing or active patients were defined as those who were still in treatment as of the cut-off date. Attriting or inactive patients were those who had terminated the detoxification process "against medical advice." This A.M.A. status was ascribed to any patient who quit coming to the clinic to receive his methadone medication and failed to respond to written or telephone suggestions that he continue in treatment.
Data isolating the variables utilized for these analyses were collected by a social worker at the initial treatment visit or during subsequent routine clinic visits.
Patient characteristics
As a group, the 86 addicts could be characterized as typically being Negro, male, under 30 years of age, school drop-outs, married and legally employed at the time they requested treatment. In contrast to an earlier study (6) of an addict population with comparable attributes, most of these addicts had not become addicted until after the age of 20. Except for their addiction problems, these patients did not have many of the social casualty characteristics typically associated with being hard core heroin addicts in the United States. For example, a majority did not report any prior formal detoxifications, they did not have histories of being on welfare, they had not been abusers of alcohol, they had not been convicted of any crimes, and they were not concurrently abusing other drugs with their heroin.
TABLE 1
Characteristics of the addict-patients
Attrition characteristics
Of the 86 addict-patients, 59 or 68.6 per cent terminated the detoxification process against medical advice. During the study period, 10.2 per cent of the drop-outs terminated within the first month of treatment. The largest percentage of attrition occurred during the last two months of the study period with 55.9 per cent of all the terminations occurring within this period. Length of treatment ranged from less than one week to more than 30 weeks with a median of 24-26 weeks.
TABLE 2
Distribution of A.M.A. terminations by month of attrition
* Patients were admitted only during these months.
Chi square comparisons
Only two comparisons of demographic variables produced any significant differences in attrition-having left school prior to completing the eighth grade and being married at the time of admission for treatment. At the conclusion of the study period, 95.5 per cent (N = 21) of the 22 subjects with less than an eighth grade education had terminated A.M.A. This compared with only 59.4 per cent (N = 38) of the 64 subjects with more than that level of education. Attrition among the 49 married patients was 77.6 per cent but only 56.8 per cent among the 37 patients who were not married.
Only one statistical comparison for the social casualty variables was significant. Patients who were abusing another drug or drugs concurrently with their heroin were more likely to remain in treatment.
Multivariant analysis of low frequency events
Separating the patients into groups with either a low or high risk of A.M.A. termination through the multivariant technique, the following comparisons were produced. Those addict-patients with a low risk of A.M.A. termination were more likely to be the older patients averaging about 35 years and were more likely to be the patients who became addicted to heroin later in life having an average addiction onset age of about 27. In comparison, the average age for high risk addict-patients was about 26 and they became addicted at about 21 years of age. The low risk group was more frequently married at the time they began treatment but had completed fewer years of formal education. Having a history of a criminal conviction and concurrently abusing drugs with heroin were more frequently associated with the low risk patients. With the exception of the abusing of other drugs concurrently with heroin, none of the differences are statistically significant.

To verify the significance of concurrent drug abuse with attrition, a further analysis combining the previously determined [ 1,2,5] inter-actional effects of age, a history of a criminal conviction and the concurrent abuse of drugs with heroin was performed. The influence of this latter factor, concurrent abuse, was clearly demonstrated.
Attrition was found to be the highest where the addict was abusing only one drug, heroin, regardless of age or having a criminal conviction. Conversely, the lowest attrition was found among those addict-patients concurrently abusing drugs with their heroin and this was also the case regardless of age or having a criminal conviction.
At least by these methods of analysis and among those factors analysed, concurrent or multiple drug abuse prior to the beginning of detoxification appears to be the most potent predictor for remaining in treatment until detoxification is realized.
Summary
This study was designed to assess the background characteristics of those addict-patients who either remained in or dropped out of an outpatient methadone detoxification treatment programme for hard core heroin addicts. Of 86 heroin addicts admitted for detoxification during the study period, 59 (68.6 per cent) terminated treatment against medical advice and prior to becoming detoxified.
The highest rate of attrition was found to occur between the sixth and eighth months of treatment.
Statistical comparisons between those who terminated A.M.A. and those remaining in treatment produced significant differences in only two demographic areas. First, the greater the amount of formal education, the greater the potential for remaining in treatment. Secondly, those addicts who were married at the time of initiating treatment were more likely to terminate treatment prior to detoxification. This first finding is, of course, compatible with similar studies relevant to the utilization of medical and psychiatric services. The second finding is meaningful only if one acknowledges the pressures on the family man to return to normal productive roles as soon as it is possible. In this case, it would be as soon as his addiction and/or detoxification became manageable.
Statistical comparisons were also made of a set of attributes associated with various states of social casualty. Only one of these comparisons produced a significant difference between those terminating A.M.A. and those remaining in treatment. The concurrent abuse of other drugs with heroin at time of initiating the detoxification process was more frequently associated with remaining in treatment than was the abuse of heroin alone.
A multivariant analysis was accomplished to isolate the predictors of attrition. The association between the number of drugs abused and attrition was reinforced through this level of analysis. To be abusing only heroin was the most potent predictor of attrition among these outpatients attempting to detoxify with the use of methadone. Although this finding cannot, of course, be conclusively interpreted, the authors surmise that addicts who concurrently abuse multiple drugs will correctly perceive of their detoxifications as being more difficult and requiring more time. Heroin-only addicts, on the other hand, would experience fewer physical and psychological changes and would perceive of their detoxifications as being less difficult and requiring less time. It is therefore probable that the heroin-only abuser can more readily ascertain when his addiction and/or detoxification becomes personally manageable and is more likely to judge for himself when treatment should terminate. Further studies, including repetition and comprehensive follow-up studies, are required, however, before complete interpretation is possible.
