Winter Olympics: Baptists trek to Sochi to share their faith
SOCHI, Russia (BP) -- Amid tight security, the 2014 Winter Olympics commenced with impressive opening ceremonies, while Baptist volunteers from across the United States arrived to be part of the international festivities.
Inside Sochi's "ring of steel," consisting of 40,000 armed Russian troops, anti-aircraft weapons and a myriad of military surveillance tactics, the five Olympic rings welcomed thousands of athletes, fans, diplomats and dignitaries to the Sochi Games.
"Who knows what God is up to here? Its humbling to have a front row seat."
-- Southern Baptist volunteer in Sochi
President Vladimir Putin ushered in the Games during the opening ceremonies at Fisht Olympic Stadium -- stirring a sense of competition, camaraderie and inspiration.
Among those present is a select group partnering under the name Engage Sochi. Their purpose is simple: to make a difference for Christ before, during and after the 2014 Winter Olympics. The Southern Baptist volunteers journeyed thousands of miles despite persistent media attention to fears of terrorist threats.
Engage Sochi is a network of Southern Baptists seeking to create opportunities for meaningful conversations with those living and working in Sochi or who are attending the Games. Volunteers hail from across the United States, including Oklahoma, Missouri, Colorado, Georgia and Alabama.
Scheduled to perform are the Singing Men of Oklahoma, Woman's Missionary Union drama teams and ministry teams from Missouri and Colorado intent on sharing the love of Christ.
Volunteers engage people throughout the community, walking in the knowledge that thousands around the world are praying for them and for Sochi during the coming weeks.
"Never in our lives have we felt the prayers of people so tangibly," one volunteer said. "Even tonight, a casual conversation on the train turned into a person helping us, and a really good local contact was made."
As people respond and ask questions, steps are taken to ensure that once they return home, they are connected with a local community of believers, regardless of where they live throughout the world.
To stay connected with Engage Sochi during the 2014 Winter Olympic Games, visit the Facebook page for the outreach,
and use its hashtag for the games -- #pray4sochi.

CALL TO PRAYER: Obey?
Author and Baptist Press editor Art Toalston writes that prayer can transform any irritation with God over His call to obedience. "God is far from the only one with an expectation of obedience in today's cultural milieu," Toalston writes, noting that a yearning for others to acquiesce to their moral code can be found among advocates for a range of social agendas.

MADISON, WI (WTAQ) - The interim head of the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation told state lawmakers that his agency is making widespread changes, after an audit showed that it lacked basic checks and balances.
Reed Hall told a Senate committee Monday that numerous lapses rested with the agency's staff. And it's using the audit it commissioned from Schenck SC as a "road map" to get better.
The audit said the public-private job creation agency did not collect paybacks on business loans, mis-stated financial deals, and never had a supervisor approve up to a quarter of its credit card transactions – thus opening the door to possible embezzlement.
Chief Operating Officer Ryan Murray said no inappropriate charges have been found so far.
Also, the audit showed a lack of proper internal accounting controls. It said the corporation's board never received monthly balance sheets and income statements – but it will now.
Many of the problems were blamed on a high staff turnover. Up to half the employees left when the former state Commerce Department disbanded in mid-2011, as the Economic Development Corporation was formed.
Governor Scott Walker pushed for the change, to help keep his 2010 campaign promise to create a quarter-million new private sector jobs in Wisconsin by 2015.
Walker chairs the agency's board, which will further discuss the situation Monday.
Also Monday, Hall said the department would get more suggestions for improvements from the Wisconsin Bankers Association.

OBJECTIVES: The authors sought to determine the prevalence, patterns, and demographic correlates of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy in a statewide sample of low-income children and adolescents in community-based clinical care. METHODS: The Medicaid managed care database of the Connecticut Department of Social Services was the source of linked encounter and pharmacy information for the one-year period ending June 30, 1999. Period prevalence was calculated for children and adolescents ranging in age from newborn through 18 years who had any psychotropic drug prescription claims during the study period. For each participant, multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy was defined as having claims for prescriptions for medications in two or more different psychotropic drug classes during a seven-day period. Age, gender, race, and state custody status were examined across groups, and multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy patterns were identified. RESULTS: Of the 196,505 youths in Medicaid managed care, 9,447 received at least one psychotropic medication, yielding a period prevalence of 4.8 percent. Among youths who received psychotropics, 13.6 percent had received multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that participants who received psychotropics, alone or in combination, were significantly more likely to be in state custody, male, and older than other participants and less likely to be African American or Hispanic. Stimulants, antidepressants, and mood stabilizers were the most commonly dispensed agents. The most common drug class combinations were an antidepressant plus an antipsychotic, a stimulant plus an antidepressant, and a stimulant plus an alpha2 agonist. CONCLUSIONS: Our findings revealed sociodemographic differences in psychopharmacological care among young Medicaid managed care enrollees and the common occurrence of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy.
The empirical foundations of pediatric psychopharmacology have rapidly expanded during the past two decades (1). Especially promising are a series of randomized controlled trials that documented the short-term efficacy among children and adolescents of psychotropic medications for disorders such as attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and major depressive disorders (2).
Despite these advances, however, the field continues to have limited empirical data on the treatment of youths with complex and comorbid conditions. Further, current reimbursement mechanisms have put a premium on brief, symptom-targeted interventions such as pharmacotherapy, leading to treatment plans that do not necessarily follow available guidelines for the treatment of children and adolescents (3).
There is compelling pharmacoepidemiological evidence to document the increasing prevalence of psychotropic drug use among children, even those of preschool age (4). Moreover, the use of combined psychotropic drug treatment is on the rise. In a study of community mental health centers in Baltimore County, an increase in the use of multiple concurrent psychotropics was described for the period between 1988 and 1994: from 9 percent to 21 percent among outpatients taking medications and from 26 percent to 42 percent among inpatients (5). A recent study stated that 30 percent of children with ADHD co-occurring with another disorder received concurrent medications, compared with 10 percent of those with ADHD alone (6). A North Carolina Medicaid managed care study found that of 6,984 youths for whom a selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) was prescribed in 1998, 30.1 percent also received a stimulant during the same year (7). In a small case series, 50 of 83 children (60 percent) living in a residential treatment center received combination treatments (8).
Although there is limited empirical evidence to support its use, combined pharmacotherapy is becoming an increasingly accepted practice in pediatric psychopharmacology (9). In the hands of experienced clinicians, rational use of combined psychotropic medications may result in positive effects for the pediatric patient. For example, clinicians may resort to combination treatments in order to address a comorbid condition or to augment the benefits of one medication.
At the same time, combined psychopharmacotherapy can be an unjustified practice, as when duplicative agents (two or more agents in the same class) or offsetting agents (two or more medications with opposing actions) are initiated (10). Failure to prune ineffective medications during ongoing treatment is one of the common pathways from rational to irrational polypharmacy (11). Drug interactions are another important consideration during combined treatment. Problems can arise either from pharmacokinetic factors—such as effects mediated by the cytochrome P-450 system (12)—or from poorly understood pharmacodynamic mechanisms that may have additional developmentally sensitive implications—such as the purported toxicity associated with stimulant and alpha2 agonist combinations (13).
Combined therapy is thus fraught with potential pitfalls. These include the resort to stand-alone pharmacotherapy dislocated from a multifaceted treatment approach and the temptation to add a second medication in lieu of other modes of treatment, such as psychotherapy (14).
One of the primary aims of pharmacoepidemiology is to examine trends in clinical practice. Despite growing empirical support for psychopharmacological interventions for children with certain psychiatric disorders, a gap between research and practice remains, and clinicians are often constrained to making choices with incomplete evidence-based guidance. Indeed, randomized clinical trials are unlikely to investigate more than a small fraction of potential combination treatments. Moreover, the algorithms or consensus guidelines that have been published (15), although they provide some support for combination treatments, are neither an accurate reflection of current clinical practices nor a substitute for the level of empirical support provided by randomized clinical trials. A claims-based study describing community practice patterns can be an informative initial step toward understanding current combination psychotropic interventions and can guide future research efforts on this type of treatment.
The objective of this study was to determine the prevalence, patterns, and demographic correlates of psychotropic drug use in general, as well as of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy in particular, in a statewide sample of low-income children and adolescents receiving community-based clinical care.
This cross-sectional study used Connecticut Medicaid managed care administrative and pharmacy data. Institutional review board approval was obtained from the Yale University School of Medicine and the University of Connecticut School of Medicine. The ethical and confidentiality guidelines proposed for the analysis of large population-based data sets as specifically relevant to psychiatric research were followed throughout (16).
Linked encounter data and pharmacy claims data were derived from the Connecticut Medicaid managed care database, which is maintained by the Connecticut Department of Social Services through Qualidigm. The study population included all children and adolescents ranging in age from newborn through 18 years who were continuously enrolled in the Connecticut Medicaid managed care program between July 1, 1998, and June 30, 1999. Children with any claims for psychotropic drugs were identified from a comprehensive National Drug Code registry. Psychotropics were placed in one of six classes: stimulants, antipsychotics, antidepressants, mood stabilizers, alpha agonists, and anxiolytics. Antihistamines (including hydroxyzine), beta blockers, and anticholinergic agents were specifically excluded from the analysis, as were antiepileptic drugs dispensed for a seizure disorder as primary diagnosis. For the purposes of this study, patients with multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy were defined as individual enrollees with prescription claims for medications from two or more different psychotropic drug classes during a seven-day interval following the index prescription. The seven-day sliding window was selected in an effort to maximize the capture of concurrent use of different psychotropics; it is consistent with published methods (17). Psychiatric diagnoses were based on ICD-9 codes appearing on the reimbursement claims (code range 290.00 to 319.99). Age, gender, race, and state custody status were examined across groups, and the most common patterns of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy were identified.
Data were summarized across sociodemographic characteristics for the dichotomous outcomes of two dimensions: presence or absence of psychotropic drug use for the entire study population and presence or absence of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy for study participants taking psychotropics. Separate logistic regression models were fitted to estimate the effects of the independent variables on each of the two outcomes. Results are presented as odds ratios (ORs) and 95 percent confidence intervals (CIs), both for the unadjusted (bivariate) and adjusted (multivariate) models. Backward elimination was used for all adjusted models. All analyses were conducted with SAS version 8.0. Unless otherwise specified, all results are significant at less than .001.
The total study population consisted of 196,549 individuals enrolled in the Connecticut Medicaid managed care program for any length of time during the study period. As shown in t1, ethnic background and gender were evenly distributed across the study population, and age was skewed toward younger enrollees: more than 85 percent were 14 years or younger. A small fraction of children were in the custody of the Connecticut Department of Children and Families.
At least one psychotropic medication was dispensed to a total of 9,447 participating youths during the study period, yielding a period prevalence of 4.8 percent. Among these youths, 1,286 (13.6 percent) fit the definition of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy, yielding a period prevalence of .7 percent. Stimulants were the most commonly dispensed psychotropic class, accounting for almost half the total prescriptions. The rank order for other drug classes as well as the more commonly found multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy patterns are presented in t2.
Information on primary diagnosis was available for 5,397 (57.1 percent) of the participants taking psychotropics. The three most common diagnoses associated with psychotropic use were disruptive disorders, including ADHD and conduct disorder (57.9 percent of participants with diagnoses available); affective disorders, including unipolar and bipolar depression (17.2 percent of participants); and anxiety disorders, including generalized anxiety disorder and obsessive-compulsive disorder (17.2 percent of participants) (4). Other disorders—developmental, psychotic, personality, eating, or substance abuse—were each present in fewer than 5 percent of participants.
As shown in t3, univariate analyses revealed that children taking psychotropic medications were significantly more likely to be in state custody, male, white, and older than peers who were not taking psychotropics (10.5±3.8 years compared with 7.7±5.3 years). These four characteristics also significantly differentiated youths receiving multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy from their peers who were not taking psychotropics (11.5±3.5 years compared with 10.4±3.8 years). Odds ratios derived from adjusted logistic regression models are included in t3.
This study documented a 4.8 percent period prevalence of psychotropic drug use among children enrolled in Connecticut Medicaid managed care. This rate is virtually identical to that reported in 1995 for children enrolled in Kansas Medicaid, the most recent study for which comparable data are available (18). Consistent with earlier reports, our findings reveal differences in age, gender, and ethnicity among youths who received psychotropic medications. Age differences are of a particularly timely relevance, because psychotropic medication rates among preschool children have recently attracted widespread attention in both the scientific and the lay press. Findings from our study corroborate the frequent use of psychotropics in this age group. For example, among 35,274 children aged two to four years, stimulants were prescribed for 396, yielding an age-specific period prevalence of 11.2 per 1,000. This rate is in keeping with preschooler rates recently reported in two studies. In a study by Zito and colleagues (4), the prevalence of stimulant use in 1995 ranged from 5.1 to 12.3 per 1,000, and in a study of 1998 North Carolina Medicaid data the prevalence was 13 per 1,000 for children ages 1 to 5 (7). Even if not strictly comparable, all three studies point to a prevalence in the range of .5 to 1.3 percent in this very young age group—one for which the empirical database is especially limited.
Overall, boys were 2.4 times as likely to receive psychotropics as were girls, and children aged ten to 14 years were at least 1.4 times as likely as those in any other age group. This distribution pattern, together with stimulants' being the most commonly prescribed psychotropic class (t2), suggests that ADHD is the main condition targeted pharmacologically. Our diagnostic information, although limited, corroborates this impression: almost 60 percent of youths for whom data were available had a primary diagnosis of ADHD. Moreover, the second and third most common patterns of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy were stimulant plus antidepressant and stimulant plus alpha agonist—combinations suggested in a recently published algorithm for ADHD when stimulants alone are not effective (15,19).
Consistent with previous studies (7,20,21), our data reveal that children from minority groups are less likely to have psychotropics prescribed for them. For example, when the analysis was adjusted for potential confounders, white youths were 2.4 times and 1.7 times as likely to have psychotropics prescribed as were their black or Hispanic peers, respectively. This consistently documented racial and ethnic disparity may reflect differences in access to care or different attitudes or cultural beliefs among various groups—about mental health in general or about the use of psychotropics in particular. In addition, racial and ethnic misclassification is a small possibility to consider in the analysis of large databases. Regardless of the underlying reason for these differences, additional study is clearly warranted to understand and address such disparities in psychotropic drug use.
Children in state custody represented only 4.7 percent of the Medicaid population yet accounted for 17.8 percent of the psychotropic prescriptions filled. This 4.5-fold higher rate emerged as the single strongest predictor of psychotropic drug use in our study. Given that children in state custody are a vulnerable group at high risk of serious psychopathology, this is not an entirely surprising finding. To our knowledge, rates of psychotropic drug use for children in state custody have not been previously studied. However, two studies of children in the Los Angeles County foster care system (representing a segment of children in state custody) have documented a threefold higher rate of psychotropic drug use than in the control group of youths in the community (22,23), and a third study has found similar patterns among foster care youths covered by a mid-Atlantic state Medicaid program (24).
As defined here, multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy is a common practice in pediatric pharmacotherapy; 13.6 percent of youths for whom psychotropics are prescribed receive more than one psychotropic. Given the cross-sectional nature of our study, it was not possible to determine with certainty whether agents were used concurrently (as an additive strategy) or sequentially (for example, as part of a cross-tapering switch). To minimize this potential misclassification, we restricted combination use to medications from different drug classes, because medications in the same class would be more suggestive of a switching pattern. Only a longitudinal approach can distinguish such underlying prescription patterns; however, our findings suggest that treatment with more than a single psychotropic agent during this conservatively defined time interval are common in this Medicaid population, possibly as part of a change to more stable medication regimens. In addition to revealing multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy as a common treatment pattern, our study found significant sociodemographic factors associated with its occurrence. Children who were ten years of age and older, male, white, or in state custody were all more likely to receive multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy. These characteristics also predict psychotropic drug use in general, although they warrant particular attention as predictors of multiple pharmacotherapy. In the one previous study that assessed predictors of polypharmacy among adults, neither age, sex, nor race was a significant factor (10).
Our study has several limitations. First, claims-based data provide minimal clinical information, and that information is of uncertain quality; there is no readily available way of validating assigned diagnoses. Moreover, a primary diagnosis was missing for 42.9 percent of children treated with psychotropics during the study period. Although this is a substantial proportion of participants, it is not an uncommon one in comparable pharmacoepidemiology surveys. For example, a recent outpatient study found that no psychiatric diagnosis was made in more than 30 percent of visits involving a psychotropic medication (25). The investigators suggested that such a deficiency might be related to either of two factors: primary care physicians' limited knowledge about, or comfort with, assigning psychiatric diagnoses; or clinicians' resorting to pharmacological intervention when addressing vague behavioral problems for which there is no clear diagnosis.
A second limitation is that our choice of a one-week interval to estimate multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy is potentially problematic. In the absence of a standardized time interval for the assessment of polypharmacy, some investigators (7,26) have chosen a one-year window. However, such a choice, while increasing the sensitivity of our findings, would have done so at the expense of an unacceptable number of false positives—that is, cases of sequential rather than concurrent use of different medications. Indeed, when we used a three-month window, our estimate of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy more than tripled, to 42 percent. Our ultimate choice for the briefer window of time is consistent with the published experience of another group (17) and protects from overestimation of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy (false positives). Clearly, the best way to estimate the prevalence and specific patterns of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy, and to differentiate concurrent from stepwise or sequential drug use, would be to track participants longitudinally. Other informative next steps toward this end might be targeted chart reviews and surveys of the decision-making processes of community practitioners. Despite the uncertainty of our one-week window, our study does provide initial insights into an increasingly common practice within the field of pediatric psychopharmacology.
A third limitation is that the Connecticut Medicaid managed care database did not include information on prescribers' professional affiliation, such as physicians, physician assistants, or clinical nurse specialists, or their specialty training, such as primary care medicine, pediatrics, or psychiatry. Previous studies have documented that in the treatment of ADHD, for example, the majority of psychotropic medications are prescribed not by mental health specialists but rather by general practitioners (27,28). Another consideration is that the more complicated or treatment-refractory cases may in turn be referred to specialists, who may follow different prescription patterns, including combination treatments (29). In a previous study of adults, physician specialty (psychiatry versus nonpsychiatry) was found to be the single strongest positive predictor of polypharmacy (10). Two subsequent studies have also found physician specialty to be significantly related to psychotropic combination prescription patterns for youths (26,30). Such findings have direct training and administrative implications, supporting the need for more extensive training in psychopharmacology for pediatricians and other primary care practitioners, the procurement of appropriate staffing, and the facilitation of more efficient referral pathways to specialists.
Despite its limitations, our study documented rates and patterns of psychotropic drug use among young Connecticut Medicaid managed care enrollees that are comparable to rates in other parts of the country. In particular, our study replicated findings of both clear differences among racial groups in this modality of treatment and the use of psychotropic drugs among as many as 1 percent of preschoolers. Moreover, our study showed that a considerable proportion of children receiving psychotropics have been treated with two or more such agents within a one-week period. Future claims-based research in pediatric psychopharmacology will permit the study of changes over time in this modality of treatment, as well as the characterization of the extent and patterns of multiple psychotropic pharmacotherapy in community-based clinical settings.

I have been taking my two children (age 10 and 7) to Eyecare Kids since they were toddlers. The optometrists are always very professional, thorough and personable, ever ready to answer all my questions. The kids also enjoyed the experience because it was comfortable, fun and age-appropriate. I would highly recommend Eyecare Kids.

Stack Location
Vernie Alton Moody was an economic historian and a member of the faculty at Iowa State University in the first part of the 20th century. In 1913, he obtained a Master of Arts degree from Tulane University in New Orleans, La. After World War I, he continued his studies at the University of Michigan under the historian Ulrich B. Phillips. He earned his doctorate degree in 1923, writing a dissertation on slavery on Louisiana sugar plantations. Moody also pursued his interest in the economic history of European agrarian reform, producing professional papers and articles on the subject.
The focus of this collection is international agrarian reform in Europe after World War I, with a limited amount of research on domestic agrarian reform. Papers consist of correspondence, research notes and drafts that reflect to V. Alton Moody's research, and related published material, which include official reports. Most of these reports are in German. Also included is a typescript of the 1846 planation diary of John P. L. Stone, a Louisiana resident, possibly a sugarcane planter of White Castle. Stone writes about sugarcane production and local weather, as well as the cultivation of other crops.

- Great dinnerOpenTable Diner Since 2009Dined on 8/22/2014We went t to the Stockyard for my husband's birthday. I had the steak tips and they were amazing. The rest of my family had prime rib and loved it. Sandra our waitress was such a deliight. She was very personable and extrememly helpful. She made accomdations for all our requests. I would definitely recommend the Stockyard!!Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- We must have picked the wrong nightkickVIPDined on 8/17/2014Been here many times since it re-opened and the food has been good and the service friendly. Not many there so we sat at the bar. Bartender was preoccupied - with nothing. Our food was fair to okay. Glad it was not our first time or we would not be back again.
- 1st time hereOpenTable Diner Since 2008Dined on 8/16/2014I made the reservation because this restaurant was featured on phantom gourmet. The oysters were some of the best we've had and the mussels were outstanding. The broth was light but spicy and delicious. My husband had a prime sirloin special steak that was cooked perfectly and I had the lobster pie which was tasty but I wished it had more chunks of the tail rather than the claw and knuckle meat. Anyway, we were celebrating a birthday and enjoyed it. The service was excellent. The restaurant was clean and it was nice to have a parking lot available.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- A nice place not greatDenSalDined on 8/16/2014This resturant is nice. it has all the makings of a high end steak house, but it falls just short of great. It is a nice place the prices are okay for the quality of food you get. The night I went there the entire B.C. Football Team was there so service was a little erratic. The food tasted fine but I felt as if I could have cooked it the same. When I go to a high end steak house I like to feel as if I am eating a steak that I could not cook the same way. With all that said I would go back, like i said it is nice just not great.Special Features:
- Outstanding serviceGiloDined on 8/7/2014I was there early Thursday night with my wife. We had outstanding service, scallops appetizer was so delicious, food was great, and decent wine list. I highly recommend this place.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- UnhappysaddinerDined on 7/26/2014WE use to eat at this restaurant quite frequently, since the new ownership or management the food quality has gone down quite a bit. I had ordered prime rib, medium, it came out well done. The manager quickly corrected the problem, but it seems the theme of the night was overcooked food. Our app's came out burnt and the table right behind us had overcooked steak. I think they should revisit the way the food use to be prepared. It was empty in there for a Saturday night...you never saw an empty seat before this change.
- OutstandingjessicamDined on 7/26/2014We came here to celebrate my birthday. They have a wonderful parking lot so you don't have to drive around or worry about valet parking. We started out with several appetizers; the crab cake and the oysters were fantastic. The tuna tartare was the best I have ever had. There was a ton of tuna and it blended well with the cucumber and the avocado and even with the crunchy rice noodles. All the dinners were fantastic. The prime rib was wonderfully cooked to the right temperature. The rest of my party loved their dishes which included the lobster roll, the swordfish special and another beef special. To top it off the chocolate cake was amazing. We look forward to coming back again soon!Special Features:
- Great meal with co-workersMontyCapuletti2Dined on 7/21/2014Went with three professional colleagues. Two of us consider ourselves to be "foodies". I had the prime rib and he had the 16 ounce strip. He commented that his steak was better than the last steak he had at one of those well known high end steakhouses found in many major cities. My prime rib was perfect and the other two guys were also impressed with the experience. Great place with alot of character and great service.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- DinnerDeeDeeDined on 6/28/2014We had the delicious lobster pie! Well worth the market price. Dessert was a very different chocolate creme brulee topped wth fresh raspberries.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.
- Great Choice!LovetodineDined on 6/18/2014Peggy our server was great - she was very entertaining and personable. Only gave 4 stars because we never had anyone come back mid meal to ask for drinks. Other than that it was spot on! - Food was excellent and felt prices were reasonable. I would absolutely go back and recommend.Special Features:
- Too crowded today?BrooklinerVIPDined on 6/18/2014We 3 waited one hour for our food to arrive today -- 12 to 1PM. There were some large parties, but we arrived before them. It was never explained what happened -- a kitchen screw up? Nor were we offered any compensation.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- My "Go To" for all occasionsLaboDined on 6/7/2014Close by-plenty of parking! If I want a high end PRIME, dry aged steak like in town I can get it here, and if I prefer a great burger, or fresh shucked lobster roll and spend a little less I can get that too. I ave eaten here probably 30 times since they reopened and had a great experiences EVERY TIME, ranging from 25 dollars to 75 dollars per person, depending our group that evening . I have dinned here casually with my younger nieces, fiance and family and also had more formal, in a suit with business people here, and have a great experience every time. Jerry and his staff are top notch,well trained, knowledgeable, attentive and courteous and the food is always fresh, delicious, as described, cooked to perfection and as asked for.Special Features:
- Food below averageNotImpressedDined on 6/6/2014I lived in the neighborhood throughout the 80's & 90's and have very fond memories of the Stockyard as a place to gather with friends for a drink and a really good steak. Well, the fact that I got a place to park right by the front door should have been a clue. I remember Friday night's being jammed. I was also surprised that the menu was, for the most part, a la carte. That would be OK, if in fact the food was worthy of such prices. No ones meat was cooked properly. I could have done a better job. The prime rib was dry and overdone and the skirt steak was raw. Both were ordered medium. The sides we ordered were also not very good, the asparagus was overdone and the lyonnaise potatoes were greasy.
- Loved it!HydragalDined on 6/1/2014Went with friends for a birthday celebration. We all loved our steaks -cooked to perfection. We will be backSpecial Features:
- melaDined on 5/30/2014From the moment you walk in this restaurant is great. The staff is friendly, they seat you right away, the service is great and you never feel rushed. The food from start to finish is mouth watering. Dinner starts warm rolls, crackers and the cream butter. The appitizer was plentiful and delicious, we had muscles. For the main course we both had the prime rib. This meat just melted in your mouth and the family style sides were generous. Dessert did not fail either, blueberry pie was excellent. The wine that we were recommended by the waitress to compliment the meal was delicious and was not the most expensive either. Overall I would highly recommend going here.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- Party at The StockyardLinda492Dined on 5/23/2014We had 8 for dinner and everyone was happy with their meal. I was concerned that with such a large group dinner would take forever. However, we were served in a timely manner and enjoyed the meal. We asked for a quiet area as the dining room with the bar is quite loud. We were in the back room which was fine.Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

- EasyGoingUntilReamedDined on 5/11/2014Mothers Day Dinner, restaurant at about 50% capacity when I arrived for dinner. Appetizers: Lobster Bisque (way too salty), Crab Cake (very soggy). Dinner: King Cut Prime Rib (tough, inedible, had manager take off bill), Bone in Rib Eye (beyond marbled to extremely fatty, char-grill flavor tasted just plain burnt). Sides: Risotto (good flavor, not creamy), Grilled Asparagus (dried out), Onion Rings (probably Ore-Ida). The table was stained, not polished. Utensils actually had dried food on knife. Living in the Boston area, I did not want to deal with parking in the downtown area. I attempted to choose a restaurant with parking and made a very poor choice. The way I see it, I just paid >$130 for parking.

I was hoping a late reservation would avoid lots of noise - yet didn't anticipate the very loud table near us to be soo distracting. Luckily they left once our meals arrived. Next time I'll ask for a more secluded table in the back room. Service for this visit was very slow. We waited at least 15-20 minutes before we flagged down a passing waitress - who then realized we were her 4 top. Evidently no one told her. Disappointing for a Tuesday 8pm, when it wasn't very busy. Last visit had service issues too - one more chance before dropping $100/2. Food was excellent,Special Features:I would recommend this to a friend.

HENRYVILLE, Ind. (WHAS11) -- The true power of the March 2 tornado that came through Henryville was easily seen in what became one of the most iconic images of the entire disaster -- a school bus lodged in the front of a restaurant.
Budroe's Family Restaurant reopened for business once again on Monday morning.
Aside from the necessary changes needed to make it structurally stable again, the owner is changing the name of his family restaurant to Budroe's Bus Stop.
"This is the greatest little town there is," Sherman "Budroe" Sykes, owner of Budroe's Bus Stop, said. "These people that's lost everything, but you know they're still holding their head high, and they're walking around with a smile on their face, they've lost everything, its hard, but you know what? They ain't looking back, they're looking forward."
WHAS11's Michelle Arnold will be live at the restaurant during the evening newscasts.

He's a leading scorer, a leader, and even a Diaper Dandy.
It's been an interesting few months for Georgia State's R.J. Hunter.
Playing for his dad for the first time, with all of the pressures that can come with that, Hunter is thriving as a freshman on Georgia State's basketball team.
He has played so well, already winning four conference rookie of the week awards, ESPN's Dick Vitale listed him as a "Diaper Dandy," a term used for promising freshmen, in a column he recently wrote.
"I've been kind of satisfied, but we aren't winning enough," Hunter said. "That's partially my fault. I've done some good things but not good enough. I'm going to keep working, keep trusting my teammates and just try to do my part."
Despite Hunter's 16 points per game, the Panthers (6-10) have struggled this year heading into Saturday's Centennial game against Delaware at the Sports Arena. The team features nine members who didn't play at Georgia State last year, including R.J.
After turning down recruiting overtures from Virginia Tech, Vanderbilt and Wake Forest among others, Hunter arrived in Atlanta ready to see what playing for his dad would be like, as well as the experience of college basketball. It didn't take long for him to regain the confidence he had at Pike High School in Indianapolis.
Hunter, 6-5, has a smooth stroke and a quick shot, which enables him to come off screens or find holes in zones for his catch-and-shoot motion. He scored 14 points in the opener against Duke, where he shrugged off the coach's son chants from the Crazies, something he's ignored most of the year.
"It doesn't bother him," point guard Devonta White said. "He said he knew it was something he was going to have to deal with."
In addition to scoring, it soon became necessary for him to take on the role of firing up the team. He hasn't shied away from talking to anyone, including juniors White and Manny Atkins.
"Just in practice, when there's a lack of energy, I make sure every single person talks," Hunter said with the same rapid pattern of speech his dad has. "Just say something, just be vocal on the court."
Being a leader isn't something that his dad and coach, Ron, hoped he would have to take on so early.
"If I could diagram how his freshmen year would go it's great, but I didn't want him to have lead us as much as he's having to lead us right now," Ron Hunter said. "I'm a big believer in you gradually go into those things."
Other than that, both agree things are going well.
Hunter is adamant that he's never coached his son in anything before. That, coupled with his own fiery style, which includes the foot-stomp, the stare-down, the sprint-up-the- sidelines, and, of course, the yelling, caused many to wonder how the two would mesh.
It's one thing to yell at a freshman you've known for a short time. It's another to yell at flesh and blood.
There was a short period of adjustment.
"The first time he yelled at me, I was like 'What?'", R.J. said, mimicking looking over his shoulder quizzically. "But then I got used to it. He's treating me like everyone else on the team."
It took about a week after R.J. arrived in the summer for the two to figure out when coach-player needs to be father-son or vice versa.
Hunter said that was his biggest concern when R.J. signed to play, but now it's the area in which he's most pleased.
"Play for your dad, which he's never done; play in college, which he's never done; play at this level, which he's never done…how do you handle it mentally?" Hunter asked. "That's where I've been really surprised. Most 18-, 19-year-olds don't do that that well and he's handled it extremely well."
That ability to morph from son to player has carried over with the rest of the team, where R.J. is just a player, and not the coach's son and player.
"(R.J.) talks more about him than we do," White joked.

American Youth Camps Federation,

20 April 2004
Dear Sir/Madam,
I read your advertisement in the Dutch newspaper Trouw of 18 April 2004, whereas you asked for youth leaders to work in one of your holiday camps during the summer. I can tell you that I am very much interested in such a job.
I am an 18-year-old Dutch girl. Presently, I am in the fifth form of a grammar school and I hope to pass my grammar school exam in May of next year. My summer holidays start on July 5 which means that I will be available from July 8th until August 28th at the latest since school starts again on September 2nd.
The main reason for my application is that I like to work with children. After grammar school I intend to start my studies at a teachers training college in order to become a teacher at a primary school, so this would be a valuable experience for me. I already have some experience in dealing with children in other ways. At home I have been a member of Scouting Holland for eight years now and for the last three years I have been a member of the staff with our local boy scouts. In this capacity I have frequently helped to organize all sorts of activities such as sporting events, endurance and survival tests etc.
Perhaps I should also mention that I like swimming and that I have two life-saving certificates as well as a first-aid certificate. Having attended a grammar school for nearly five years now, I think it is fair to say that my English is not too bad and that I dont expect any problems in making myself understood or in understanding the children.
In case you decide to take me on as a youth leader, I would like to receive some information as to what kind of work is expected of me, what kind of accommodation I will be housed in and if I will be paid any money or given a travelling allowance.
I hope I will receive your answer soon.
Yours faithfully,
Je naam

Educational Philosophy
I believe that all students have the ability to learn, and for this reason, I commit to planning purposefully and differentiating instruction to maximize their learning experience. I understand the role of the teacher as much more than a mere transmitter of knowledge. In today's classroom, we act as caregivers, models of respect and flexibility, and facilitate authentic learning. I believe students should consistently be challenged to meet appropriately set expectations, guiding them through and celebrating the accomplishment of their learning goals. Education, in my opinion, must begin where the student is at, acknowledging their prior knowledge and experiences, and then, wherever, whenever, and however possible, I believe the next steps must involve planning out educational goals that suit the individual learning styles and needs of each student. I recognize the unique differences every student brings to the classroom, and know that in providing equitable treatment I must address the various abilities, interests, and cultural backgrounds in an inclusive approach that sets every student up for success. As teachers, we are responsible for providing students with a safe learning environment that is founded in principles of respect, care, trust, and integrity.
Albert Einstein once said "the important thing is to not stop questioning". I strongly believe that if as teachers we can ignite the curiosity and wonderings that motivate learning within our students, we might transform students into lifelong learners through the continuous development of critical thinking skills. I endeavour to connect my students' lives with the concepts taught in class, further providing opportunities for inquiry and collaboration, building on students' interests and learning goals. Likewise, I believe that teachers must also act as lifelong learners, actively seeking current knowledge and strategies to better serve their students. As such, I will continue to develop and act out professional development plans, reflecting on learning theories, pedagogy, curriculum, educational research, and relevant policies and legislation, ensuring I am informed to perform effectively in practice.
I believe teachers have a distinct opportunity and responsibility to improve the future, one student at a time. An effective teacher has a vision which is reflected in their instructional techniques, purposeful planning and assessments, and consistent classroom management strategies.
I believe in my students!

Topic - kalymnos - solo or course
Ingaldo86 - on 15 Sep 2013
Hi all,
Does anyone have any experience finding partners in kalymnos at the end of october?
I'm currently thinking of either spending money on quickdraws and a 70m rope, or probably the same money on a week long 'performance' coaching course, paying for guide package etc and joining a group.
What would your advice be? Ive been climbing about 2 years - mostly indoors but outdoor experience in Thailand and Italy...including a previous week long 'coaching holiday' sport climbing leads up to 6a/b. Confident belaying and seconding...
When do people begin to go climbing completely independently? and if i am experienced enough to arrive and find partners willing to climb. Currently leading 6a/b.
Am i better off just chancing it and going to Kalymnos solo end of october - i could potentially be there for 2 weeks? or spend anywhere in the region of EU400 - EU600 for a group thingy for just a week.
Any advice or similar experience much appreciated.

SHEBOYGAN, Wis. (WHBL) - The trial of a Sheboygan teen charged in the brutal murder of an elderly Sheboygan Falls woman will remain in Sheboygan County. Attorneys for 14 year old Nathan Paape argued during a hearing Thursday that it will be too difficult to select an impartial jury due to the pre-trial publicity. Judge Timothy Van Akkeren denied the motion for a change of venue. Meanwhile, Paape and his friend - 14 year old Antonio Barbeau - remain in custody awaiting trials which are now set for June. The boys are accused of bludgeoning 78 year old Barbara Olsen -Barbeau's great grandmother - to death in her Sheboygan Falls home last September.

Land-Value Tax: Why It's Immoral and DestructiveJuly 14, 2012
I just had a conversation with an angry "geolibertarian". This Physiocrat inspired approach to libertarianism apparently supports a special land-value tax, or a tax on land that is held and not developed.
The general argument is that undeveloped land should be developed as soon as possible without people sitting on vacant land as an investment. Of course, like all tax arguments, this completely misses the point, is based on bad assumptions, and is immoral theft.
Calling it "libertarian" is completely backwards. They reject what libertarians believe about property rights, and that's the entire foundation of libertarianism. They are not libertarians. They are not capitalists.
1. Government Shouldn't Force "Lower" Short-Term Prices
Lowering prices in the short run as much as possible isn't the goal of government. Protecting rights is the goal of government. And just because I have food in my pantry and you're hungry doesn't mean you can rob me of it.
2. Delayed Consumption Can Be Productive
The entire purpose of capitalism and savings is to delay consumption for some other production and consumption later on. Increasing land prices, for example, make some project unachievable and other projects achievable. Which do we pick? "We" don't. The market does. Otherwise, we'll have malinvestment.
3. "Evil" Speculator Profits Are Also Productive
Third, speculators in land are often the very people who are raising money for other projects, so the increase in cost funds many other investments, including — here's the kicker — many new real estate developments. And that's a good thing.
4. There's No Such Thing As a Free Lunch.
It never ceases to amaze me that people think some new sort of tax or regulation won't have negative consequences, or costs. It's insanity.
The profits made in selling undeveloped land eventually require the development of said land. You're assuming that current demand is all that matters, which is ABSURD. That's why we use capital in the first place and have savings — it allows us to delay some consumption for future consumption.
People who sit on undeveloped property until someone is willing to pay a profitable amount provide a service because some projects won't occur and others will. That's literally the point. It absolutely can be -productive- for me to sit on some land and not sell it for 10 years, because that project in 10 years could be absurdly more important than setting up whatever current demand is.
That's literally the point. Real estate prices don't just reflect instant demand — but also possible future rents and such. Time is an important variable geolibertarians are trying to ignore.
It's the time gap that is being turned into profit, and it's profitable for a reason. Not all price increases are bad. Some are market functions that allow better production over time.
In the end, "libertarians" will always be tempted to make a little exception for taxes and force. Just a little tax on the rich to "level" the playing field, or just a little tax on the poor to get skin in the game, or just a little tax on important to "help" producers.
But they're always broken. The only economic system that makes sense is this: liberty. To learn more about the economic system that best protects liberty, read our introduction to capitalism article here.

Enjoy some good one-liners and bits from your favorite late-night comedians.
Jay Leno: "Earlier this evening, Barack Obama's 30-minute infomercial appeared on three of the major networks -- Fox, CBS and NBC. ... Now, if you didn't see it, one part was a little odd. At the end, Barack said, 'If you vote now, we'll throw in a set of steak knives and a can of OxiClean.'"
Jay Leno: "I tell you, though," things are "not looking good for McCain. ... In fact, today he went down to IKEA because I think he realized this could be his only chance to put together his own cabinet."
David Letterman: "They...say that there may be some friction between John McCain and Sarah Palin." Aides "suspected that there was something wrong when McCain started referring to Sarah Palin as 'that one.'"
Conan O'Brien: "Here on NBC, Barack Obama's infomercial preempted the new show 'Knight Rider.' ... So, folks, Obama is not even president yet," and he is "already making America a better place."
Conan O'Brien: "During the speech earlier today, Barack Obama accidentally mixed up his black sitcom characters. He said that Wheezy from 'The Jeffersons' was a character on 'Sanford and Son.' ... And just like that, folks, the election is wide open."
