Randy Devine checked out his garage door Tuesday morning before work after his security alarm had gone off the night before.
"I pulled it and the door clicked shut," he said.
That told the 61-year-old someone may have broken broke into it. And upstairs, Devine found another surprise.
"Right here in the middle of the floor-- a blanket was right here," he said.
Devine thought it was suspicious and called police. Moments later, a man leaped 15 feet from the second story of the garage.
"The door swings open and this guy just jumps out of this door, lands right here on his feet like a cat, and when he hit the ground he took off running," Devine said.
It sparked a daylong manhunt throughout Fairfax. Investigators believe it was the man who burglarized a salon in Georgia just a few hours before. He got away following a police chase that ended when the suspect crashed and ran away on foot.
"Apparently I am missing a set of blue coveralls. They were hanging right there," Devine said.
Police now believe the man sleeping in the garage was Jason Cannon, 30. He is wanted by the Vt. Corrections Department after cutting off his electronic monitoring bracelet.
Cannon is also a person of interest in three armed robberies last week in Colchester and South Burlington. The clerk claims he pulled the trigger several times in one of the stickups, but the gun did not go off. Police also believe he may be responsible for more than a dozen break-ins at businesses over the past few days in Chittenden and Franklin counties.
"The information we have collected from the scene, physical evidence and some statements from people we have been interviewing in days since the robberies and burglaries, pointed us in the direction of Mr. Cannon," Colchester Police Det. Sgt. Charles Cole said.
Police right now are focusing their efforts around Fairfax and Chittenden County where Cannon has ties. He is considered armed and dangerous.
"He actively cut off his monitoring bracelet. Any time that happens, I would say yes, the public should be cautious," Cole said.
Devine says he feels uncomfortable that he had such a close encounter with a dangerous man on the run.
"It makes me concerned," he said. "I am not as safe as I thought I would be living here."
Police say Cannon appears to just be looking for cash, most likely to support a drug addiction. They believe he is in the Fairfax area or in Chittenden County where he has connections. Anyone who sees Jason Cannon is asked to call 911 immediately. Authorities say do not approach him because he is considered armed and dangerous.
Two other gubernatorial candidates shared the gazebo with Scott Milne and Gov. Peter Shumlin for Saturday's debate.

Expedition Photo of the Day: Oh, I didn't see you there!
This camouflaged flatfish looks up at an Oceana diver from the sea floor off the coast of Panama City, FL.
Flatfish are an order of fish that, like their name suggests, are relatively flat. Their eyes are on one side of their head, with some species "left facing", some "right facing", and others can face either way.
Be sure to check out all our footage from the expedition – photos, videos, blogs - updated every day!

Expedition Photo of the Day: Oil on the Horizon
My other photos of the day have been cool underwater creatures. But today, my focus is something you can see above the waves. This beautiful photo is marred by that pesky oil rig in the distance, otherwise breaking up a fantastic sunset.
It is no surprise that as an ocean conservation group, we are against offshore drilling. Our expedition will continue for several more weeks, looking for how the BP drilling diaster has affected the area. But we are also working to make sure that an event like this never happens again.

Expedition Photo of the Day: Mystical Anemone
Nope, this isn't an alien specimen. Related to corals and jellyfish, anemones are predatory creatures who use poisons in their tentacles to capture and immoblize their prey. Anemonefish, or clownfish, are not affected by anemone toxins and find shelter in their tentacles.
This translucent beauty was spotted during Oceana's research expedition off the coast of Panama City, Florida.
Be sure to check out all our footage from the expedition – photos, videos, blogs - updated every day!
Expedition Photo of the Day: Arrow Crab
These nocturnal crabs resemble underwater daddy long-legs, with purple-tipped limbs up to three times the length of their abdomens. Despite their gangly appearance, they are surprisingly agile.
This feasting crustacean was captured on film on our oil spill research expedition off the coast of Panama City, Florida.

Gulf Coast Dodges a Bullet... for Now
A sad and ironic post for the day after Earth Day – the Gulf of Mexico offshore oil rig that caught fire on Tuesday and sank yesterday is still a serious concern for the Coast Guard, NOAA and potentially for dozens of endangered species.
The Coast Guard continues to search for the missing 11 crew members while cleanup efforts have begun. An oily sheen covers the water where the rig used to stand, probably related to the fire and onboard activity as the rig sank. While it is contained for now, BP Vice President David Rainey said "it certainly has the potential to be a major spill." BP PLC operates the license on which the rig was drilling.

Oceana U: Report from Connecticut College
Last semester (for those of you who still think in those terms), I started working with a young and dedicated oceans advocate at Connecticut College. Check out her story below:
Hi! My name is Olivia and I'm a sophomore at Connecticut College. I'm from Newport Beach, California and was fortunate enough to be introduced to the remarkable work that Oceana does to protect our oceans.
I was so shocked by how little I knew about the devastating statistics and lack of governmental enforcement to protect the sea creatures that are very close to extinction, so I felt a need to find a way to participate. After volunteering for their Sea Change event in Laguna Beach, I contacted a member of Oceana about starting a college branch. I was the first student to approach them with this idea and they were very excited to get started!

Oceana Adoption Center Open for the Holidays
Have you ever tried to gift wrap a shark? Put a bow on a polar bear? Wrangle a penguin into a gift box? Thankfully, you don't have to actually wrap up an animal to give an Oceana gift. I'm so excited to tell you that the Oceana Adoption Center is open for business!
All the familiar creatures are back this year - sharks, sea turtles, octopuses, polar bears, penguins, seals, dolphins and whales - and we've made a special addition too. We are now offering The Casey Kit, a deluxe limited-edition sea turtle adoption inspired by Casey Sokolovic, a young ocean hero who has been baking and selling cookies to support the rescue and rehabilitation of sea turtles.
Until wrapping paper comes in rolls large enough for a hammerhead, Oceana's adoptions are the best way to give the ocean-lovers on your list the perfect holiday present. Make sure to order before December 15 to get free holiday shipping. Your tax-deductible donation is not only a thoughtful gift to a lucky friend or family member, but it helps us here at Oceana do our work – protecting the oceans all over the world.
Whale Wednesday: Circle of (Creepy) Life
Here at Whale Wednesday, we generally talk about the amazing life of whales… while they are alive. But like everything in nature, cetaceans pass on. And good thing, too, if you are a boneworm.
These strange, tiny creatures feast on the bones of mammal carcasses on the sea floor. Bobbing along as microscopic larvae until they come in contact with a whale or elephant seal, they then latch on, sending root-like structures into the bones and feathery arms into the water. The bacteria in these roots break down bone protein, while the feathery appendages draw in oxygen. And that's not the strangest part.
All boneworms start off male, but as they sexually mature, become female. However, if a male larvae lands on a female boneworm, he will become a male worm, though remain microscopic in size. He will then go on to fertilize the females eggs, which will result in all-male larvae. And the cycle begins again.
Space is often touted as the final frontier, but the depths of the oceans hold much more mystery… and bone eating worms.

Apparently Dr. Penelope Leach is England's Dr. Sears. (The old Dr. Sears not the young one.) She has released a new book quoting new scientific evidence that letting babies consistently cry it out can actually hurt their brains.
From the BBC's web site, which seemed to be the most neutral on the subject:
"Dr Leach told the BBC News website: 'We are talking about the release of stress chemicals. The best known of them is cortisol, which is produced under extreme stress.'
" 'One is not talking about a wakeful baby lying there gurgling, one is talking about a baby that is crying hard and nobody is responding.'
" 'When that happens, and particularly if it happens over a long period, the brain chemical system releases cortisol and that is very bad for brain development. Some neuroscientists describe it as toxic.' "
She suggested that unattended crying bouts of 30 minutes or more could damage babies.
The writer at the Guardian in Britain seemed to be an advocate for "crying it out" and thinks it would only be in an extreme case of neglect, like at an orphanage, that this would really affect a baby's brain development.
"It was a blatant attack on rival baby guru Gina Ford, author of the Contented Little Baby series, who advocates strict routines and – in some situations – 'controlled crying.'"
The author of the Mail's story seems to buy into Dr. Leach's research more.
In America, Dr. Richard Ferber is pro-cry guy and Dr. Sears tells you to bring them into your bed and not let them cry.
What do you think of the new research? Would it change how you handled your own baby? Did you let them cry it out or not? Would you do it differently now?

I'm crying right now reading this!
Also…..No….Yes, crying it out does work. You can only expel so much energy before you shut down and shut up…..I just wish people would not let their kids cry it out in public.
April 26th, 2010
8:26 am
I realized early on that you can differentiate between a "something is really wrong" cry and a "hey mom, I am over here" cry. I don't think they should have to cry it out in public. No one else should be subjected to that. I did have to let him cry it out when he transitioned into cups from a bottle. My hindsight is not very long in that my oldest is 14 but I don't think I would change that. I don't like to see older children with pacifiers and bottles.
April 26th, 2010
8:35 am
@Andrea, I'm with you on the bottles and pacifiers. Personally I didn't allow mine to have a pacifier after they were 6 months. At 1 year old I began weening from the bottle. I think you have to determine why they're crying and then decide how or if to respond. I allowed my kids to cry it out once they were no longer allowed to sleep with me and my husband. If I gave in they'd still be in my bed. It only lasted a few days and then they were fine. Most responsible parents can decide whether or not they should allow their child to continue to cry.
April 26th, 2010
8:40 am
I agree you can tell the difference between a "something's wrong" cry and a "I just want to be picked up" cry. Self soothing is very important for babies to learn. I found it useful to provide crib toys. My son had the little light up aquarium. I used to hear him cry, then he'd give that thing a kick and the soft music and lights would lull him back to sleep. When he was in to pacifiers, I would keep 2 or 3 in his bed so if he dropped one, he could maybe find another. Worked great. He "slept" through the night or at least I didn't have to get up most nights. The real problems don't start until they can get out of the bed on their own……
April 26th, 2010
8:52 am
Letting my son cry it out was one of the hardest things I've done as a parent. He didn't want to sleep in his crib, so it took a couple of 30 minutes or so of crying and that was it, luckily. I don't know what I would have done had it not worked so quickly. I don't think I could have let it go on for hours or weeks or anything like that. Reading this is scary though, because I know lots of parents use this method.
And Lori, that is exactly why we are keeping him in his crib for as long as possible! I can imagine when he is free to get up and roam what will happen!!

"Toxic"? Oh, good grief — talk about sensationalism. It's been measured that newborns produce extremely high levels of cortisol just when they are undressed — they aren't used to the "stress". They did a cortisol study on newborns getting their doctor exams during their first two years and noticed high levels in the first few months that gradually reduced until at the age of 2, cortisol wasn't produced in response to most kids going to the doctor.
Did she mention the part that babies in safe, secure parental-bonded relationships showed much less levels of cortisol? What is defined as "frequent and prolonged exposure to cortisol"? One night of crying it out? Months of crying it out? This kind of research drives me nuts.

I've been really lucky with my two. The most "crying it out" we've had to do got into the 5 minute range. They've both been really good about going to sleep after the initial "go back in and reassure" hug and comforting we did. My personal philosophy was always that I wouldn't be able to stand hearing my baby scream in distress for more than 10 minutes -if that. However, because I was never really in this position, I hate to make a judgment about those who do follow the cry-it-out method. I know with some babies, you get to a desperation point where you'll try just about anything.
As far as being toxic to their brains -well, I think if you truly have an inattentive situation where the child repeatedly cries for many reasons without having his or her needs met, then YES, that's probably detrimental in some respects (and so incredibly sad to think about). But when a baby has reached the point that they only cry to get you back in there and all of their needs are met -PLUS -they are given plenty of attention and affection the rest of the time, then I don't think this theory holds much water.

You need to balance these things out. i am sure that in over crowded orphanages where babies are left to cry for hours and hours, that some damage is being done. But crying is also normal for babies and a little crying probably doesn't hurt.

We used a personal variation of Baby Wise for both of our girls. Routines and crying didn't hurt either of them…they're WAY too smart for their ages, 6 and 3 now. We never let them crying for longer than 10-15 minutes without checking on them or giving them a back rub to soothe them a bit. But we never picked them up and abandoned the effort to move them into the cribs.
We also feel that co-sleeping is WAY more dangerous than letting them cry it out a bit on top of being WAY too detrimental to quality adult time that is needed by mommy and daddy. Babies need your marriage to be strong as much as anything…so parents need their time as well!

My friend developed a new product he calls BBQ (Baby Be Quiet). It's a little spray bottle with water in it and he just squirts a little on the crying babes face and the baby stops crying like magic.

First, let's be clear here. The constructive "cry it out" approach has never advocated endless bouts of crying. Instead, it advocates crying with increasing intervals of soothing (first 10 minutes, then 15 minutes, etc.). My wife and I employed this (which is the approach Chris describes above) and our daughter NEVER cried for 30 minutes straight. Also, after 2-3 nights of this approach, she was sleeping soundly through the night without any fuss. And, as many have commented, there is a definite difference between the "something is wrong" cry and the "somebody pick me up" cry. You don't employ this approach with the former.

How many of us were left to cry it out by our parents….not to mention the numerous children from numerous generations before us. I highly doubt we are all walking around with brain damage. Just use common sense when it comes to your children…you know them best!

For heaven's sake! Common sense people! Use your heads….if you study anything long enough something negative can be found. Like eating bacon causes cancer. Remember that one? If you eat a pound of bacon everyday for 2 yrs (or something absurd like that).

To me, intelligent and conscientious parents usually can tell the difference between CRYING and crying.
The sound of: " I just bit my tongue and it hurts" ….is not the same as…."I would rather be with you and stay up as late as you do, instead of going to sleep when I need to at 8;00."
I see oodles of parents who do not fall under the two descriptive words above and many of their children rule the roost. The parents cater to their every whim.
Mine never cried for hours but they did have a few 10 minute sessions, until they fell asleep.

This study does not hold any water. All it says that it is bad for the brain. When they can prove scientifically HOW the brain development is affected and HOW is it reflected on one's mental state long term, then i will take it seriously. There are so many bad things around us – it can take pages to list them. Providing such a general conslusion means nothing.

I am not a fan of cry it out, never did it with my kids. I understand how parents could do it, like the parents above mentioned. I think 10 minutes, no big deal. I don't think that is harmful to a baby. I think never responding to your baby's cries because you want them to learn to soothe themselves is wrong. That just shows them that their needs are not important, and so they learn to stop crying. That does not mean you "trained" them to self-soothe. That means you trained them that you don't care. Why does a baby need to self-soothe? They are babies!
I don't know the exact ages because I did not do cry it out (for them to fall asleep on their own), but you are supposed to wait until they are a certain age before you start doing it. I did not read the link to the article/study because I think extended crying is hurtful to your baby emotionally, anyways. I don't know how accurate that study is, but I don't know why babies would need to be left crying for long periods of time.
I am a firm believer that babies cry when they are hungry, uncomfortable, hurting, cranky, overstimulated, understimulated, want some love (attention), etc. In other words, babies don't talk, so crying is their way of communicating. Duh. Don't have babies if you are not willing to meet their needs.

I did Babywise as well, and while we did a version of CIO, my kids never cried more than 10 minutes. (Yes, I timed it. It always sounds so much longer than it is.) Of course, I'm not a fan at all of Dr. Sears, since he pretty much states on his website that anyone who isn't an Attachment Parent is committing child abuse. Just a little extreme, IMO.

Take the 15 minutes to hold your baby. If it's 5 minutes of crying and you can give a comforting, "It's going to be okay," she'll probably be fine. Excessive crying is the need to let you know they need something, and being held is a legitimate need. Your baby needs you. Let your baby and child become strong in a protective environment to feel sturdy enough to be successful later in life. It won't make a clingy person…quite the contrary. Clingy/insecure people, or cold, rude and inaccessible people really make for an unpleasant world were probably not held.

Babies need response and cuddles and milk. This is the result of evolutionary design.. they need proximity to mum or caregivers body and love.
A huge surge in 11 and 12 year olds presenting with with panic disorders, anxiety and depression in mental health centres…. back case history often always include being subjected to controlled crying/cry it out method (it started again about 12 years ago).
Baby is pain/fear when cries and needs comfort and love. Five minutes is all i let my babies cry… mums have a maternal instinct (see Japanese researchers who discovered it exists in the brain) which when suppressed results in lack of bond and connection and happiness with babies…. trust your instinct and pick your little one up and cuddle or rock or play or walk. Cosleeping rocks as does getting support for mums with bubs from good people.
go Penelope Leach!… so many people support you…. thanks for speaking out for babies and mums

I get the crying it out options and dilemmas, but no one talks about what to do if your baby stops crying in the crib, but then sits like a zombie staring into space for endless amounts of time, never to sleep. My baby is 9 months old and has, until last week, been an amazing sleeper – all night from 3 mths on and 2-3 naps a day. But suddenly everything changed and none of the theories – cry it out or attachment – seem to apply. I think part of this is that he's trying to learn to walk and pulling up.
We've always responded to his general crying by "observing" what's going on and responding, and had always put him in his crib for night and naps after first soothing/rocking/singing him to a deep sleep. (Maybe that was first mistake?) Suddenly around 9 mths, he started having frequent night wake ups. Then he started having trouble falling asleep in our arms (he wants to climb all over me instead). Once I do finally get him to sleep, he wakes up when put down in crib, so nothing's working. Regardless, the old method is out. So, I thought it must be time to teach him to self soothe, accepting that he'd cry a bit. I can't believe the amt of hysterics and panic. I respond to him after a few mins but don't pick him up, and then leave again. After a few visits, he stops crying like "experts" predict, but then literally sits staring down like a zombie, for over an hour. It's very unnerving to observe (thru a crack in the door). I've let it go for as much as two hours to no success during the daytime. This was very difficult. Now I've shortened the process for his morning nap to one hour and then just pick him up and resume the day. But can't live on no sleep, so for afternoon nap, I've resorted to letting him sleep in my bed with me for a few hours. At night, I put him in crib and he falls asleep after about an hour and a half. His method for self soothing seems to be taking his different pacifiers (which I leave in his bed) in and out of his mouth, which looks sort of panicky and crazed. When he finally falls asleep, it seems like he just slumps over from a sitting position. This feels so cruel but I don't know what to do. I can't leave him in my bed alone so I don't understand the family bed concept either? Any help?

Starting Monday, Dallas Cowboys fans can get their game on and buy sexy, sporty 'unmentionables' right at Cowboys stadium.
Victoria's Secret plans to open a PINK store Monday in the stadium in Arlington, according to a report in Forbes magazine.
The store will sell lingerie and other women's clothing — including hoodies, tank tops, underwear and sports bras — with the football team's logos, according to Forbes.
While Victoria's Secret sells co-branded merchandise with the logos of 32 teams, this is the first time the company has opened a store at a professional sports venue, according to the Forbes story.
Forbes called it a smart move by VS and Jerry Jones, owner of the Cowboys, which Forbes recently named the NFL's most valuable team for the sixth consecutive year.
Okay, so the racy underwear concept is taken? Would you like to shop for undies at the Georgia Dome? If not, what type of store would you like to see at the Dome? Are you listening Macy's? What about you Home Depot?

Stores at stadiums they way they are designed today have limited appeal because they would be open on game day only. However, with a clean sheet of paper a site like the GM Doraville plant could be turned into a regional mall with a stadium built on top of it. So on game days the issue would be parking and logistics for the regular retail shoppers, not the other way around.

This year Saint Elizabeths Hospital is celebrating its 150th anniversary. The Washington, D.C., hospital occupies a unique place in the history of American psychiatry. It was founded by Dorothea Dix, the 19th century reformer, with the stated goal of providing "the most humane care and enlightened curative treatment of the insane of the Army, Navy, and the District of Columbia." When the doors of Center Building (pictured here) opened on January 15, 1855, Saint Elizabeths was the only federal government hospital for persons with mental illness. It played a prominent role in treating military personnel during the Civil War, the Spanish American War, World War I, and World War II. By the 1940s, the hospital housed 7,000 patients, and its campus encompassed more than 300 acres.
Saint Elizabeths has been a center for research and innovation in treatment and care. It has also been a major educational resource—a training site for psychiatrists, psychologists, and other health professionals that has attracted prominent members of these fields. The hospital's first five superintendents were elected president of the American Psychiatric Association and its predecessor organizations the Association of Medical Superintendents of American Institutions for the Insane and the American Medico-Psychological Association.
The hospital's first superintendent, Charles H. Nichols, M.D. (1852-1877), introduced innovations in hospital design and construction. The 1881 trial of presidential assassin Charles Guiteau, at which both Dr. Nichols and William W. Godding, M.D., the second superintendent (1877-1899) testified, marked the hospital's long and notable involvement in forensic psychiatry. After Guiteau was convicted and hanged, Dr. Godding attended Guiteau's autopsy. This event solidified Godding's belief in the importance of studying the effects of mental illness on the brain in order to understand and treat mental disorders. Consequently, in 1884 Godding hired Isaac W. Blackburn, M.D., who established the first pathology laboratory in a U.S. mental hospital. Under Dr. Godding the hospital also opened Howard Hall in l891, one of the early special facilities in the United States for the care and treatment of the criminal insane.
William Alanson White, M.D., the fourth superintendent (1903-1937) and a major figure in early 20th century psychiatry, ushered in the scientific era at Saint Elizabeths. In 1907 he established a psychology laboratory under Shepherd Ivory Franz, Ph.D., and the first psychotherapy department in a mental hospital under William Kempf, M.D. During the tenure of Winfred Overholser, M.D., the fifth superintendent (1937-1962), Saint Elizabeths expanded treatments to include psychodrama, art, and dance therapy. Dr. Overholser also developed a chaplaincy service that became a model for other psychiatric hospitals.
Luther Robinson, M.D. (acting superintendent, 1969-1972; superintendent, 1972-1975) was the hospital's first African-American superintendent. He developed one of the country's first treatment programs for mentally ill persons with hearing impairments and guided the hospital through many organizational and policy changes.
In 1987 Saint Elizabeths Hospital was transferred from the federal government to the District of Columbia. Today it is part of the city's Department of Mental Health. Under the leadership of Joy Holland, R.N., M.H.A., the first African-American woman to head the hospital, Saint Elizabeths is revitalizing its services to patients and its relationship with the community. The hospital is preparing to break ground for a new building that will combine clinical and forensic services.
Throughout 2005, the hospital will conduct a variety of activities to celebrate its 150th anniversary. A highlight will be a two-day educational symposium entitled "The Role of the Public Mental Health Hospital in the 21st Century," to be held on May 5 and 6, 2005, at the new Washington Convention Center. The symposium will feature nationally recognized leaders in the fields of clinical, research, administrative, and forensic psychiatry and will continue Saint Elizabeths' 150-year tradition of excellence in education as well as patient care and research. For more information about the symposium and other scheduled activities, contact Evone Butler at 202-645-8647.
In response to increasing evidence of the high prevalence of co-occurring disorders and the effectiveness of integrated treatment, the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) has revised and updated its Treatment Improvement Protocol (TIP) on co-occurring disorders. The TIP is designed for substance abuse treatment counselors and mental health care providers who usually treat one or the other of the two disorders, many of whom have come to realize that among individuals who seek treatment, a co-occurring disorder is the expectation, not the exception.
Prevalence data summarized in the TIP indicate that four million Americans have co-occurring serious mental and substance use disorders, a figure that does not take into account those with less severe disorders. From 50 to 75 percent of persons in substance abuse treatment programs have co-occurring mental illness, and 20 to 50 percent of those in mental health settings have a co-occurring substance use disorder. Although persons with co-occurring disorders are more likely to seek treatment, a 2002 survey of substance abuse treatment facilities found that fewer than half—about 49 percent—provided special programs or groups for persons with co-occurring mental illness. That figure was higher—63 percent—among the mental health facilities surveyed; however, the TIP notes that of the 1.36 million persons in treatment for substance use disorders in 2002, nearly 70 percent were in substance abuse treatment facilities.
The TIP describes advances in integrated treatment for co-occurring disorders with the goal of cross-training frontline clinicians in the substance abuse and mental health treatment systems. It contains nine chapters that address terminology, assessment, and treatment strategies and models as well as recommendations for research and policy planning. Strategies, techniques, and models presented in the TIP meet one of three criteria for inclusion: definitive research (evidence-based treatments), well-articulated approaches with empirical support, and consensus about established clinical practice. Case histories, illustrations, and summaries synthesize knowledge for practical application. "Advice to the Counselor" text boxes present the TIP's most direct and accessible guidance.
The chapter "Keys to Successful Programming" is organized around six guiding principles for treating individuals with co-occurring disorders: employ a recovery perspective; adopt a multiproblem viewpoint; develop a phased approach to treatment; address specific real-life problems early in treatment; plan for the client's cognitive and functional impairments; and use support systems to maintain and extend treatment effectiveness. Guidelines for assessing an agency's potential to serve this population address financing principles and how to secure federal, state, and private funds and attain equitable allocation of resources. A detailed section on workforce development describes basic, intermediate, and advanced clinician competencies and resources for training.
The chapter on treatment strategies begins with guidelines for forming a successful therapeutic alliance, with an emphasis on overcoming countertransference, maintaining a recovery perspective, and using an empathic style. Six key techniques are then detailed: motivational interviewing and enhancement consistent with the client's specific stage of change; contingency management to address target behaviors; cognitive-behavioral therapy adapted to the significant distortions in thinking commonly found among persons with co-occurring disorders; relapse prevention therapy focused on achieving a balanced lifestyle; repetition and skill building to address deficits in functioning; and facilitation of the client's participation in mutual self-help groups.
Another chapter provides an overview of specific mental disorders. This brief chapter is accompanied by a 100-page appendix that examines these and other disorders more closely. The major classes of psychotropic medications are described in another appendix, with sections on indications, dosage, potential side effects, and special considerations.
Each chapter of the TIP emphasizes the importance of thorough and ongoing assessment, and a separate chapter outlines a 12-step assessment process designed to obtain a detailed psychiatric and substance abuse history, to understand the client's current strengths and deficits, and to determine the client's stage of change for each problem. The appropriate use of screening and assessment instruments is addressed, and an appendix lists 17 such tools with information on their purpose, utility, and format.
The TIP was developed by a 19-member consensus panel of treatment providers and researchers co-chaired by Stanley Sacks, Ph.D., of the National Development and Research Institutes in New York City and Richard K. Ries, M.D., professor of psychiatry at the University of Washington. In its current loose-leaf format of 600 pages, the TIP is primarily for use as a training resource to ensure broad transfer and application of new findings. In the coming year, SAMHSA will create other documents based on the TIP's contents, including quick reference guides and toolkits. Substance Abuse Treatment for Persons With Co-occurring Disorders, TIP 42 in the SAMHSA series, is not yet posted on the SAMHSA Web site. It can be ordered free of charge from SAMHSA's National Clearinghouse for Alcohol and Drug Information at http://ncadi.samhsa.gov or by calling 1-800-729-6686.
Dr. Prandoni retired as deputy director of forensic services at Saint Elizabeths Hospital in 2004. Dr. Gold is clinical associate professor of psychiatry at Georgetown University Medical Center in Washington, D.C., and a member of the American Psychiatric Association's history and library committee.

One of my favorite things to do when my kids were small was to go to the Kansas City Zoo. As the years went by, admission prices went up, my kids weren't kids anymore, gas prices went up, and we went to the zoo less often. A couple of years ago, we voted on a zoo tax. More taxes usually don't have an advantage, but in this case, the zoo lowered its prices for people living in Jackson and Clay counties. Hooray! Now with the price of admission at just $5.00 for those residents; it means more visits!

Roses of the East Song
From EastKingdomWiki
by Justin du Coeur, to the tune (more or less) of the dance Gracca Amorosa
Gracious Queen, I strive Your Swift Justice to survive:[1]
With poor doggerel, of the Eastern Queens I'll tell.
Alphabetically, and with scansion slightly free
- I'll try to say a little, or the name of each at least,
- From all the noble lineage of the Roses of the East.
Adrienne is first, both in history and verse,[2]
Aidan gave us Law when she became the Seneschal,
Aikaterine's now a mother, will be queen.
- Alethea's a better herald than me, to say the least;
- 'Cause she can remember the name of the Queen and the Roses of the East
Other Queens subjected to my poor quavering timbre:
Allanda, and Alyson, and next is good Queen Amber.
Heightning Kingdom fame, Anna gave the Tyger's name.
- Arastorm the Golden gave the rest of them these fiefs,
- Establishing the Order of the Roses of the East.
Brekke's known for sausages, Brewen's known for thread,
Bronwyn was the first Queen on whose toes this fool did tread.
Caellyn, Caitlin, Carissa and Christence - the C's all said.
- Diana was the first Queen of the grand Pennsic melee,
- Like half of her successors in the Roses of the East.
Elaina-Mom and Eloise come up next in the set.
Elspeth got an upgrade on her B'ronial coronet.
Embla came along, and rewarded dance and song.
- Fatima was early, but Queen Florence was the lead
- Of native ladies serving as the Roses of the East.[2]
Gabriella's name is the one that ends with A;
Gabrielle's does not, but sounds similar to say;
But Geneviere and Genevieve sound different anyway.
- I'm grateful to the ladies whose names start with letter G,
- For simplifying mem'ry of the Roses of the East.
Ianthe ruled as Queen while she still was taking courses.
Isabella added to the other nat'ral forces.
Jana gets placed here for reigns one and two and four.
- Katherine as the Signet oversaw the scrolls that please
- Recipients in courts held by the Roses of the East.
Khadijah and Kunegunda; Lauryan and Lea
Luna in the questing game: a formidable playah.
Mara's courtly grace taught us all to sinkapace,
- Good Queen Margaret ordered that Laurels be increased
- By this poor fool who's singing 'bout the Roses of the East.
Queen Marguerite is both courteous and sweet,
Patroness of Arts and most notable for smarts,
Mighty on the field, she will make the Dragon yield.
- Now trust me, I'm a Laurel: it's as period as can be
- To suck up to the Royalty and the Roses of the East.
Marieke is a Tyger, then Maureen and then Maurya,
Melisande, Morgana, and Morgen are next Sires,
Moruadh and Nicorlyn and then Queen Olivia.
- Okay, the rhymes are desperate, but I cannot yet decease,
- From listing all the names of our dear Roses of the East.
Rowan, then Roxane who's notable for Persian;
Sedalia for administration didn't show aversion;
Sirillian put her ink on the Acre pact (I think)
- Svava makes up tournies that are full of fun and glee,
- Honoring the ladies of the Roses of the East.
Tamera first met me through an accident of soup;
Wanda was the den-mom to the whole Von Halstern group.
Yana three goes here (no, I really haven't looped).
- Ysabeau and Yseault are the last - there is no Z,
- When going through the alpha list of Roses of the East.
That's the Eastern list: I hope there's no one that I missed;
Otherwise the pool says you'll demote me to your fool.
I've tried my best, and hope that finishes the quest,
- I recommend a fact-check with those cleverer than me,
- And hope I've not offended any Roses of the East.
More footnotes to come later. [3]
- ↑ I was the first recipient of the Swift and Terrible Justice of Queen Margueritetm, and that's where this song comes from.
I was Royal Herald for Coronation, and that was going beautifully -- it was a work of art that many people had worked on for months, and went very well. But I got distracted at the very end, and while we recessed, I managed to get the Queen's name wrong. My reward was a Quest: memorize the names of the Queens of the East, alphabetically, and recite them at Pennsic.
- ↑ 2.0 2.1 It's a little hard to define "the first Queen of the East". Adrienne founded the Kingdom, coming here from the West; Florence was the consort of the victor of the first Eastrealm Crown Tourney (Bruce of Cloves). So I credit them both, distinguishing Florence as the first "native" Queen.
(As an aside: Adrienne's line was the first one written in this song, and I liked it enough that I decided I had to write the rest. I love the fact that she is both historically and alphabetically first.)
- ↑ (I wouldn't be a good Silverwing if there weren't lots of footnotes...)

Florida, the Sunshine State, is famous for sun, beaches, beautiful natural landscapes, theme parks and golf. In this case, a villa in the Highland Reserve, Florida, focuses squarely on golf, although any of the Highlands Reserve holiday accommodation is ideally situated to explore the best of Florida's attractions. The Highlands Reserve is not just another one of the many golf courses in Florida. The wide pine lines fairways seem to encapsulate the best of the design of Scottish courses with an undeniably Floridian finish.
Golf! On site and within the immediate area surrounding a villa rental in the Highlands Reserve are every facility needed for a top class golf holiday. The main golf course is wide, undulating, fast and challenging, offering a magnificent round for all levels of golfers. A villa rental in the Highlands Reserve is not only suitable for expert golfers, as there are practice greens, practice bunkers, putting greens and professionals offering golf lessons for both groups and individuals.
Being situated outside Orlando, a holiday rental villa in the Highlands Reserve, Florida, is a perfect place to enjoy the hugely celebrated attractions of the Orlando area. Family holidays to a villa on the Highlands Reserve is actually one of the best places to access to Disney World Florida, as the gates are only a 15 minute drive from your holiday rental's front door.
Universal Studios, with all the rides and interactive entertainment is also within a short distance of the Highlands Reserve, as is the Islands of Adventure Theme Park, Busch Gardens, SeaWorld, the dolphin centre at Discovery Cove, The Kennedy Space Centre, Wet and Wild and the Orlando Science Centre, so there is certainly no shortage of entertainment on offer from a villa in the Highlands Reserve.
The artificial attractions mentioned above are only a small sample of the entertainment available from a self catering holiday home on the Highlands Reserve. The beautiful landscapes, stunning white beaches and National Parks of Florida are a massive lure for visitors to this part of Florida, as are the cities of Orlando, Miami and Naples.
There is never a bad time to take a rental villa in the Highlands Reserve, as the Sunshine State hardly has any variation in temperature throughout the year. The sun shines year round, with temperatures remaining in the 20's (°C) throughout the year, meaning the golf courses are in top condition whenever you decide to take a golf holiday to the Highland Reserve.
Orlando International Airport (MCO) is the closest to any of the villas for rent in the Highlands Reserve, but both Sanford International (SFB) and Tampa International (TPA) are within an hour of the resort, so there is a good chance you will find a very convenient, cheap flight to the Highland Reserve, Florida.

SALISBURY, Md.- Police have arrested a Salisbury man accused of trying to pry open the safe of the Salvation Army's church building located at 407 Oak St. in Salisbury.
Salisbury police said that on Sunday morning officers responded to a reported burglary at the church. According to investigators, officers learned that an employee arrived to unlock the building for church services when he observed a man attempting to pry open a safe with a crow bar. The employee approached the man who police say ran out of the building and fled the scene.
A K-9 track was conducted by the Wicomico County Sheriff's Office. During their investigation, the officers determined that the same man allegedly entered the church the day before and asked if anyone had found his cellphone and wallet. Authorities said the man made numerous requests for the employee to check the safe for his property. The employee obtained the man first name and phone number and informed him that he would be contacted if his property was found. Detectives continued with the investigation and identified the man.
Police said that during an interview with the man, identified as 20-year-old Willie Lee Hope Jr. of Salisbury, he took responsibility for the crime and was taken into custody. Hope was charged with second- and fourth-degree burglary and malicious destruction of property and turned over to Wicomico Central Booking.

Terrell Creek Landing project moving ahead
After a year of planning and another year of construction, the first phase of the 12-unit Terrell Creek Landing condominiums in Birch Bay is completed and the second should be done by next month.
"It's been a great experience," said Gina Weigum, who developed the property immediately east of the well-known C Shop at the corner of Alderson and Birch Bay Drive.
"Our goal was to build something of quality that would last," Weigum said, "so we put a little extra into it. We wanted everything to be top-notch." The two halves of the project, phase one and two, each have two two-story town houses of just under 2,000 square feet and four 1,100 square foot condominiums. After getting their occupancy permit earlier this year one of the condominiums has already sold.
Working closely with her general contractor, Rosendahl-Honcoop, she picked out the colors for both the slate green and sand exterior, trimmed in white, and the beige interiors.
was there just about very day," said Weigum, "working
with their foreman and it went very well." She
said she added touches as they went along, a window
here and an accent there. Everson artist Ed McDonald
created two large frosted glass windows that can be
see from the east side parking area, one of a heron
a the other of a sunset.
The building includes space in between the two halves that offer eight retail spaces, some of which may be combined for up to 2,500 square feet. Two businesses are ready to move in, she said, and they're expecting more, including a restaurant of some kind.
All the units have hardwood floors, granite countertops, gas fireplaces, stainless kitchen appliances and soaking tubs.
The 3 bedroom, 3 1/2 bath town houses have double balconies, walk-in pantries and floor to ceiling windows to take in the view and to also let in a lot of light, giving them a spacious feel.
The 2 bedroom, 2 bath single-story condominiums have see-through fireplaces connecting the breakfast nook and living room and large single balconies. Residents also have access to a large rooftop garden deck.
"I came here with my family a lot as a kid, every weekend we could and all summer.," Weigum said.
Like many families now rooted in the area, they began renting, then staying at Birch Bay State Park, then eventually buying a small cabin on fir Tree Lane.
Weigumk said she's been out of the area for ten years, working in Seattle and then in San Ramon, California, where she met her husband Marc, a native of Bismark, North Dakota.
They came back to the area and bought their own place near their building project which they started the month after they were married in December of 2004. Marc telecommutes from home, which expanded three months ago when son Lucas arrived. For more information, call Weigum at 360/303-2769, or go to their website at www.terrellcreeklanding.com.
