Studies have shown that trauma and posttraumatic stress disorder are highly prevalent among persons with serious mental illness who are treated in state-funded mental health systems. Nevertheless, there is strong evidence that many of these persons receive inadequate mental health services. South Carolina recently became one of at least 15 states whose departments of mental health have initiated efforts to better address these needs. The goals of this initiative are to sensitize stakeholders, influence policies, educate and train clinicians, and increase knowledge by supporting a strong empirical research platform. Current progress and future directions are described in this article.
Recent studies have shown that among people with serious mental illness who are treated in the public sector, rates of traumatic victimization—defined according to DSM-IV criteria—range from 51 percent to 98 percent and rates of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) from 14 percent to 43 percent (1,2). Although PTSD is a chronic disorder with serious adverse effects on social, familial, and occupational functioning, many people who suffer from the disorder receive inadequate mental health services, in part because a history of trauma and its sequelae often go unrecognized (3). Furthermore, among anxiety disorders, PTSD is associated with one of the highest rates of service use (4), and there is a striking lack of empirical data about effective interventions for public-sector consumers with chronic PTSD and severe mental illness.
In fact, although effective psychosocial treatments have been developed for other traumatized persons, such as male combat veterans and female rape victims, little effort has been made to adapt these treatments for use with trauma victims who are treated in large state-funded mental health systems. It is clear that trauma has a prominent impact on public health, and there is a pressing need to develop and evaluate appropriate interventions designed specifically for use in this population and practice setting.
Recently the National Association of State Mental Health Program Directors and many other groups that are concerned with public health policy issued a call to action to address the unmet service needs of trauma victims. Accordingly, South Carolina recently became one of at least 15 states whose departments of mental health initiated efforts to better address these needs.
The South Carolina Department of Mental Health developed a statewide trauma initiative task force in 1999. The mission of the task force is to improve the public health system's response to the clinical needs of public consumers who are victims of trauma. The goals of this initiative are to sensitize stakeholders to the impact of traumatic experiences, influence relevant policies and administrative decisions, educate and train clinicians on empirically validated assessment procedures and intervention strategies for PTSD and other trauma-related psychopathology, and increase knowledge by supporting a strong empirical research platform.
The initiative has the broad support of all stakeholders within the system, including the director of the mental health department, the directors of community mental health centers and inpatient facilities, and consumer advocates. The task force meets monthly and includes a diverse and multidisciplinary group of key stakeholders, including academic experts on trauma and consumer advocates from each of the 17 mental health centers in the state. To assist with the initiative, an annual budget of $60,000 has been dedicated by the director of the mental health department. This money will be used to provide training and education to staff and to fund a full-time trauma initiative coordinator with advanced clinical and research experience in the field of trauma.
As one of several preliminary steps, we conducted a survey of clinicians—psychiatrists, nurses, social workers, and psychologists—from four of the 17 outpatient facilities in the state to determine their training needs and their perceptions of the prevalence of trauma-related problems among their clients. Most respondents held a master's degree and had between one and five years of clinical experience. The overall response rate to the survey was 61 percent (N=245). The results showed that most clinicians had little training that was specifically focused on trauma—for example, only 30 percent had more than six hours of training. However, 51 percent of the clinicians said they felt "comfortable" working with trauma victims, and another 42 percent said they felt "somewhat comfortable."
The clinicians were asked to rate the proportions of their clients who had trauma-related difficulties as low (less than 20 percent), medium, or high (40 percent or more). Overall, the proportion of clients with trauma-related difficulties was rated as very low. Only 28 percent of the clinicians rated trauma-related problems as high, whereas 23 percent rated such problems as medium and 49 percent rated them as low. These clinician-estimated rates are substantially lower than the rates of trauma and PTSD reported in the literature (1), including rates reported at one of our own facilities (5).
Fifty-five percent of the clinicians reported a personal history of trauma; 22 percent of these clinicians reported still being bothered by the event at least sometimes. Clinicians' personal history of trauma was not correlated with ratings of trauma-related problems among clients. However, a strong relationship was observed between hours of trauma training and perception of clients' trauma-related difficulties; respondents with more training reported perceiving more trauma-related difficulties among their clients (χ2= 25.44, df=6, p<.001). Neither level of education nor years of experience had any association with recognition of trauma and related symptoms.
These findings suggest that current practices do not facilitate the identification of trauma and trauma-related symptoms, such as symptoms of PTSD, among public mental health consumers. They also suggest that trauma-specific training would improve the identification and treatment of PTSD among consumers of public mental health care.
In response to concerns raised by consumers about traumatic and harmful experiences that occur in psychiatric settings across the state, we recently reviewed the available empirical literature (6). We suggested a conceptual framework, proposed a research agenda, and discussed implications for mental health administration and policy. To our surprise, the body of research that broadly addressed trauma in the psychiatric setting was limited, consisting primarily of case reports and anecdotal commentary.
In our conceptualization of the problem we proposed two terms— "sanctuary trauma" and "sanctuary harm"—to describe distinct deleterious experiences. We suggested that a distinction be made between events that are traumatic and those that are harmful, so as to not trivialize the most severe experiences—for example, sexual assault—or unfairly label the appropriate use of measures of last resort—for example, seclusion and restraint. Furthermore, use of the term "sanctuary" was initiated by consumers and refers to what the psychiatric setting should be in an ideal sense—a safe haven or a refuge from external stressors—not necessarily what it is in practice.
To inform important policy and personnel decisions that are made by administrators of mental health care services, empirical studies are needed to determine the prevalence, perceptions, consequences, and effective prevention strategies of sanctuary trauma or harm. Toward this end, we have begun collecting pilot data by using questionnaires and interviews. This work has been funded by a small grant from the Ensor Foundation, which will support the development of a larger research effort in the near future.
In addition to the two preliminary efforts we have described, the task force has accomplished several other intermediate steps toward the overarching goal. The task force has been in close contact with representatives of trauma initiatives in other states and has visited the state-funded systems of Oregon and Maine. It has benefited from a series of educational presentations by trauma researchers and educators who are prominent at the local and national level—for example, the Crime Victim Center for Research and Treatment of the Medical University of South Carolina and the South Carolina Center for Innovation in Public Mental Health of the University of South Carolina School of Medicine.
In addition, the task force has conducted a survey of trauma services that are currently offered by all facilities in the state system. It has held a state conference to educate clinicians about trauma-related issues. The task force has hosted a national "think tank" meeting with representatives of seven other states—Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Hampshire, Oregon, and Vermont—and other interested national-level stakeholders to compare experiences and progress. At that meeting, a new national organization called State Public Systems Collaborative on Trauma was created.
The task force also participated in a series of educational teleconferences that were broadcast throughout South Carolina in partnership with a local public television station in Columbia. Finally, the task force created four subcommittees to address specific trauma-related issues—sanctuary trauma or harm, treatment and training, policy and public education, and research and outcomes.
The South Carolina Trauma Initiative is still in the relatively early stages of development, and much work remains to be done. However, there is a strong sense of purpose and optimism that it will lead to improvements in clinical services for trauma victims across the state and a greater knowledge base that will be useful to other state systems. The focus of current efforts includes supporting the development of several investigator-initiated research grant applications to evaluate aspects of sanctuary trauma or harm and to adapt, develop, and evaluate appropriate psychosocial interventions designed specifically for use with public-sector consumers.
Over the next three years it is expected that this initiative will result in the development and implementation of standardized trauma assessment protocols, specialized treatment programs, and an ongoing research effort involving strong cooperation among policy makers, administrators, clinicians, researchers, consumers, and individuals who are leading the efforts of other state trauma initiatives.

Mar 22, 2012An enjoyable Spin-Off with 4 players co-op campaign, lots of multiplayer modes and great fanservice. Graphics and AI could be better.
Mar 30, 2012Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is a fun game that is simply buried under too much to be really great.
Mar 30, 2012The game has lots of flaws but it's hard to overlook the fact that during a dozen or so hours I had fun. This imperfect collection of ideas has that elusive element of satisfactory gameplay. I can recommend it to gamers with co-op partners that know that it's just a shooter set in a familiar universe.
Apr 6, 2012An awkward and clumsy attempt to bring RE fans back to Raccoon City, failing in graphics, gameplay and general mood.
Apr 9, 2012A game that doesn't do justice to the name "Resident Evil". It's full of bugs. It's boring. It's a bad, bad game.
Mar 20, 2012The intelligent use of horror, intensity, and most importantly, subtleness has gone. While this game is only a diversion until Resident Evil 6 arrives, Capcom have done an amazingly awful job. Resident Evil used to be the trendsetter, the series everyone looked up to, now its identity has been de-constructed in a major way.

Mar 20, 2012Don't Believe what the critics say, its a good game all in all. there are a few bugs here and there, but nothing that can't be a fixed with a quick patch. the game play is steady and sometimes challenging on the higher difficulties. its a good squad shooter to play with some friends. honestly i like the game because of the bigger arsenal and the ability's you can pick up through the game.… Expand
Mar 21, 2012Other deception, but I think that Raccoon City is better than Gaiden 3, and yeah have a same case that with Ninja Gaiden, good graphics, story, controls and more, but the biggest problem, and the thing that do all the last titles bad, are the DLC's, because we feel that the game is incomplete. And Resident Evil: Operation Raccoon City is good, but incomplete.… Expand
Mar 20, 2012Very disappointing instalment in the resident evil franchise.This game could have worked but in the end it just feels broken. Clumsy A.I , predictable gameplay and dull combat makes this a below average game. This could have been a fantastic game but it just falls flat . For starters: It would have been cool to shoot a enemy that's running towards you in full speed in the leg and watch them fall over and crawl to still try and attack you. The bullet hit detection is horrible... It almost feels as if your shooting a wall most of time because bodyparts hardly react when a bullet hits them and unless you get a headshot most enemies require almost a whole clip to kill which is sad because this is 2012 .. this game feels like it was made for the original xbox. This by all mean does not mean that i think this is a bad game... just a broken one.… Expand

In case you missed it, Eastside topped Alcovy 5-4 in an early evening matchup that showcased talent on both teams, but also shed a light on areas of improvement. We break down the strengths and weaknesses for both teams as of right now.
Buck Farmer
There's always something special about your first love. You never forget that first one – whether it lasts or not. Micah Williams Jr.'s first love was basketball. He even played for Newton High School for a while before transferring over to Alcovy.
As the clock struck 12 a.m. on Saturday it was finally time for the gridiron gladiators of Alcovy High School football to put on their armor and practice – so they did. After midnight, the madness ensued. For the first time since spring, the Tigers were back in action.
To say the Alcovy basketball program has been in a flux for the past couple years would be an understatement. Now with a new coach in Duane Kelley, the program could finally be headed in the right direction. In our Q&A with Kelley, he speaks on summer workouts, his style of play and getting the program to the state playoffs.
POWDER SPRINGS – Hillgrove once again lit up the scoreboard as the Hawks defeated Alcovy 41-13 in its first-round Class AAAAAA state playoff game at Cobb Energy/Hillgrove Stadium.
The Alcovy High varsity football team fell just short of clinching its first region title in school history a week ago against Lovejoy, but as the Tigers hit the road to take on No. 8 Hillgrove, the Hawks are the only things on their minds.
Alcovy senior catcher Morgan Beshears will continue her softball career next season with the University of North Georgia.
The Newton Rams and Alcovy Tigers begin their postseason journeys this week, kicking off Week 11 football action this Friday.
The Alcovy Tigers fell in a 27-8 heartbreaker Friday night to Lovejoy, coming up just short of the program's first region championship at Sharp Stadium.
For his efforts on the gridiron last week, Alcovy defensive end Curtiss Benton has been named the Alcovy Athlete of the Week.
The Alcovy Tigers have a chance tonight to post their best regular-season record in school history.
Alcovy High senior Jaylin Penny didn't plan on becoming a wide receiver.
Many celebrated Halloween on Thursday, but Alcovy defensive end Curtiss Benton handed out the treats for the Tigers, and the tricks for the Rockdale County Friday night at Reid Stadium in the Tigers' 22-7 region victory over the Bulldogs.
For his efforts against Druid Hills last week, Alcovy High wide receiver D'Anthony Bell has been named the Tigers' Athlete of the Week.
Playoff positioning is still unsettled in the Region 2-AAAAAA, as Alcovy and Newton will decide who grabs the No. 2 and No. 3 spots in the region next week.
Entering the ninth week of its season, the Alcovy High varsity football team holds its fate in its hands.
After leading the Tigers with three hits in their second round series against Newnan, Alcovy sophomore Raven Smith has been named the Tigers' Athlete of the Week.
The Alcovy Tigers didn't pass much Thursday night at Sharp Stadium against the Druid Hills Red Devils, but when they did put the ball in the air, it seemed to find the hands of junior D'Anthony Bell.
Despite winning a regular season regional title and a regional tournament championship, the Alcovy varsity softball team saw its ultimate goal fall just out of reach Wednesday night at home, as the Tigers fell in straight games to the Newnan Cougars to end their 2013 season.

Steep Canyon Rangers
North Carolina's Steep Canyon Rangers were the International Bluegrass Music Association's 2006 emerging artists of the year. In recent years, they've been recording and touring with famed comedian and actor (and accomplished banjo picker) Steve Martin. They collaborated with Martin on a their latest album, "Rare Bird Alert," which was released just shy of a year ago and includes guest appearances by Paul McCartney and the Dixie Chicks.
8:30 p.m. Feb. 24. $18; $16 in advance. Variety Playhouse, 1099 Euclid Ave. N.E., Atlanta. 404-524-7354.
This quartet from Seneca, S.C., released its major label debut, "Daylight," in 2006. Think Coldplay with chunkier guitars, a touch of early '90s grunge and a dose of gospel. The group scored a Dove Award from the Gospel Music Association for the song "Washed by the Water," from their 2007 album "The Heat." Last year was a big one of the band. The quartet was hand-picked by Taylor Swift to open the North American dates on her "Speak Now" world tour and "The Reckoning," the band's fourth album, was the first Needtobreathe release to debut in the Top 10 on the Billboard album chart.
9 p.m. Feb. 25; 8 p.m. Feb. 29. $25. Tabernacle, 152 Luckie St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-659-9022.
Uncle Green/3 lb. Thrill
Back in the days when college rock was heading toward the mainstream and morphing into alternative rock, Uncle Green was one of Atlanta's finest combos. Unfortunately, the quartet became one of power-pop's great lost bands and an example of the fickleness of record company fortune. The band recorded a couple of independent releases and then met up with a young producer named Brendan O'Brien, who helped them record another pair of albums for Atlanta's dB Records. While O'Brien went on to produce Pearl Jam and Bruce Springsteen, Uncle Green signed to Atlantic Records to disappointing commercial results. Renamed 3 lb. Thrill, the band signed with O'Brien's 57 Records (a division of Epic) and released "Vulture." Like its predecessor, it didn't catch fire with record buyers. A follow-up, "Rycopa," was recorded in a rented house in Little Five Points in 1997, but the record company shelved it. 14 years later, the album has been resurrected, refurbished and, at long last, released, thanks to a little financial help from fans. It is, as the liner notes declare, "a big, messy, sprawling double album … weary, funny, weird and resilient." It's also a reminder of what we lost when these guys first parted ways, a band loaded with ambition, talent and a seemingly endless supply of memorable songs. Get the album, or hear clips of the tracks, at the band's CD Baby site. Don't miss the propulsive stomp and monster hooks of "St. Lazaro." And even if you can't make it to the show, you can catch the band as they do an in-store performance at Decatur CD at 3:30 p.m. Saturday, Feb. 25, and pick up a physical copy of the disc. Check Decatur CD's website for more info.
8 p.m. Feb. 25. $12 in advance. Smith's Olde Bar, 1578 Piedmont Road N.E., Atlanta. 404-875-1522.
McCoy Tyner Trio
Tyner was the pianist in sax great John Coltrane's classic quartet, the group that unleashed the intense, revolutionary "A Love Supreme" in 1964. Tyner's made brilliant records of his own, including 1967's "The Real McCoy, " since that landmark, and he's still a fleet-fingered, percussive wonder at the keyboard.
8 p.m. Feb. 25. $45-$71. Rialto Center for the Arts, 80 Forsyth St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-413-9849.
Darkland County Tuesdays
The Alliance Theatre's upcoming production "Ghost Brothers Of Darkland County" features a blues and roots tinged score with music and lyrics by John Mellencamp and book by Stephen King. The actors in the cast must be true musicians, so Eddie's Attic is joining with the Alliance Theatre to bring these actor/musician hybrids to the venue's stage in the weeks leading up to the show's April 4 premiere.
8 p.m. Tuesdays Feb. 28-March 27. $12; $10 in advance. Eddie's Attic, 515 N. McDonough St., Decatur. 404-377-4976.
You don't need to be told that Jonathan Meiburg, the leader of Austin's Shearwater, is an ornithologist, because much of his band's music is speckled with the lore and lexicon of birds. A shearwater is a seabird, after all. The band's last few albums were part of an informal trilogy sometimes known as the "Island Arc." They were packed with lush, slowly evolving winged musical journeys where, more often than not, the impression was that Meiburg and company were gliding above our planet. The band's new album, "Animal Joy," is quite a different beast, as it stomps the ground with earthy joy, relying heavily on the central trio of Meiburg, drummer Thor Harris and bassist Kimberly Burke.
8:30 p.m. Feb. 29. $12. The EARL, 488 Flat Shoals Ave. S.E., Atlanta. 404-522-3950.
David Allan Coe
From the honky-tonk to the jailhouse and back, this country outlaw has traveled a hard road, and his gritty, darkly humorous songs reflect every inch of the journey. His best-known track wasn't even his own composition, but he certainly made Steve Goodman's "You Never Even Called Me by My Name" his own. That recording has become the quintessential barroom sing-along and you have to admire a song that so clearly enumerates the five pillars of country songwriting: mama, trains, trucks, prison and getting drunk.
8 p.m. March 1. $30; $25 in advance. Center Stage, 1374 W. Peachtree St. N.W., Atlanta. 404-885-1365.

It is nine months since the Government of India announced a plan to overhaul the way it measures how well it is serving the public. The man behind that plan is Dr Prajapati Trivedi, a former economist at the World Bank and now the Indian government's Chief Performance Officer, who will reveal how India is living up to its performance pledge in a speech at the FutureGov Forum India in New Delhi next month (April 7-8th 2010).
The President of India, Pratibha Devisingh Patil, said in June last year that the Indian government would be "Establishing mechanisms for performance monitoring and performance evaluation in government on a regular basis," and that a Performance Monitoring and Evaluation System for Government ministries and departments would be implemented in September 2009. Trivedi was chosen as the man to monitor the performance of all government departments, ending a 14-year stint at the World Bank in Washington DC where he was a Senior Economist.
The task ahead of him is as daunting as it is complex. Trivedi is responsible for improving the Indian government's IT systems so that information on any given department can be delivered in a timely fashion and in a useable format. "Having information is not enough," he said in a recent interview. "We must know how to use it to evaluate performance."
Trivedi's top priority is to improve the Indian government's performance evaluation system. "Even if we have a good performance information system and performance evaluation system, we cannot hope to make a significant difference in government performance until we also strengthen performance incentive systems." He added that the key to improving information flow is "to first know what you are looking for."
A new performance measurement system, brought in at the end of last year after a study of performance management in governments elsewhere, will see each department prepare a results-framework document (RFD) containing its objectives and priorities for the financial year. At the end of the year, all departments will prepare a report listing their accomplishments against pre-set targets. The results will be posted on the respective web sites of departments and ministries.
The new performance measurement system replaces an older "flawed" version, Trivedi said. "In the past when we evaluated a department, it was more from financial point of view. Spending the budgeted amount was considered a good performance. And if a department achieved, say, 14 out of 17 targets, it was considered to have done well. But it was possible that the three targets that were not achieved were the important ones. Now these targets are weighted, and we are focusing on the outcomes and the quality of services."
The Chief Performance Officer job marks Trivedi's second stint in government. Between 1992 and 1994 he was Economic Advisor to the Government of India. Before then, the Harvard graduate with a a PhD from Boston University, was Chair Professor of Public Sector Management and Director of the Centre for Public Enterprise Management at the Indian Institute of Management Calcutta (IIMC) between 1987 and 1992.
Trivedi will join government officials from India and overseas at the FutureGov Forum in New Delhi in April. The conference will see public sector ICT leaders discuss the technology, systems and the processes that must be embraced for agencies to drive organisational efficiency, enhance customer engagement and improve accountability and transparency.
The speaker line-up includes:

ROSWELL, N.M., (UPI) — Authorities in New Mexico and Colorado said they are trying to find the origins of a gun and ammunition packet discovered in a package of frozen meat.
Police in Roswell, N.M., said a worker at a local Albertsons store discovered the Rock Island Armory .38 Super and ammunition Wednesday in a case of frozen ribs originating from the Swift Packing Plant in Greeley, Colo., KRQE-TV, Albuquerque, reported Monday.
"We could speculate on a lot of things," Sgt. Jim Preston said. "It could have been someone just dropped it there, or it could have been something that someone put it there trying to hide it for 100 different reasons."
Greeley police said they are looking into whether the gun may have been involved in any local crimes in 2011 when the meat was packaged.

Weekly Release
August 22, 2001
Coming up - host Northwest, Aug. 24, 7 p.m. (first-ever intercollegiate volleyball game)
Volleyball at Evergreen - One of the stipulations in Evergreen's admittance into the Cascade Conference was the addition of volleyball as a sport. After two years of planning, the Geoducks will hit the court for the first time Friday night against Northwest, in the inaugural home match. With the addition of volleyball and cross country, Evergreen now has nine intercollegiate sports.
Roster Moves - During the past week, a pair of roster changes have been made by the Geoducks. Defensive specialist Sarah Johns (Olympia, WA / Olympia HS) has left the team to spend more time with her husband, and outside hitter Richele Stark (Bellevue, WA / Edmonds CC) will spend the 2001 season as a redshirt player.
Schedule changes - Evergreen has changed the date of its home match against Walla Walla College. Originally scheduled for Sunday, October 7, the match has been moved to Monday, September 17, at 7 p.m.
National Rankings - Three of the Geoducks opponents during the 2001 season are among those ranked in the preseason NAIA poll. Concordia, who swept through the Cascade Conference with a 16-0 record last season, is ranked No. 8 in the poll, with Albertson, who along with CU, advanced to the NAIA National Tournament in 2000, ranked No. 15. Evergreen also faces Westmont of California on August 31, a team ranked No. 26 in the poll.
About the Coach - The 2001 season marks the return to the college ranks for Bill Lash (32-43 record in three years at Saint Martin's). A former high school and collegiate coach, player, and referee with 26 years of volleyball experience, Lash leads Evergreen into Cascade Conference play. Prior to coming to Evergreen, "Grandpa" spent three seasons at Saint Martin's College, along with five seasons at Centralia CC - with pit-stops at North Thurston and River Ridge High Schools. At SMC, the Tumwater native led the Saints to their first-ever playoff berths in 1997 and 1998, along with second-place finishes in the PNWAC and Pacific West Conferences. The trend of postseason action was also true at Centralia, as his squads qualified for the NWAACC tournament in each season from 1992-96. Lash won the Western Division crown in 1996 and earned NWAACC Coach-of-the-Year honors in 1993.
About the Northwest - The Eagles from Kirkland, WA finished the 2000 campaign with a 6-10 record in the Cascade Conference and a 6-18 overall record. Northwest, which qualified for the conference tournament, has a new head coach in Shaun Kupferberg. The squad returns a trio of juniors - outside hitters Kelly Hopkins and Amanda Peterson, and setter Kyle Petrick.

Canucks at Oilers, G28/08-09
The uniforms were awful but Thomas Gradin was a fine player. He was a star for Sweden in early World Junior Championships and an instant success in the NHL.
His high water mark with the Canucks was the 1982 Hail Mary run to the Stanley which was in no way similar to the 1994 Stanley experience. In 1994 Vancouver was a heartbeat away from winning it all, but in 1982 they won the right to be lambs for the slaughter.
Any review of the 1982 season shows Gradin was a champion no matter the result.
Tonight we may be looking at one of the final 4 this NHL season. The Canucks seem to have the right combination of grit, skill and goaltending to go deep into the post-season and with rumors of a huge acquisition (possibly Sundin) straight ahead it's long past time to give the Canucks and their new GM credit. I questioned the lack of moves in the summer but clearly this is a team that is well built and headed in the right direction.
For Oilers fans we're probably a couple of weeks away from the point where we can safely begin talking about the June draft. As of this morning, Edmonton is close to 8th but also close to 15th, which in the Kevin Lowe "Groundhog Day" era smells a lot like poetic justice. The Edmonton Oilers since 2000 have been a study in what happens when you leave the terminal out of balance.
Stories surrounding the Canucks have them filling holes credibly, winning games and performing well in all kinds of areas. Winning organizations do that sort of things, the Canucks coverage isn't terribly different these days than what you'd find in San Jose, Detroit or Calgary newspapers. Address need, move forward, fill holes.
Good for the Canucks. They endured a lot of turmoil for many years when the team lacked leadership, direction and talent and saw their management group unable to right the ship by addressing need. For Oilers fans we can look forward to Hemsky, Lubo and a script that involves a crazy ride that will test patience and run the gamut of emotion. The Edmonton Oilers are not good for the blood pressure.
And if the Oilers are going to make a run, tonight would be a good time to start. I hope coach Peeters tells them that much.

The fact that V12s are a vanishing breed has created even more of an aura around them and their bastard-rich owners. The fact that I am more a Ferrari rear-V8 fan doesn't humble me personally, but it does make me a wuss in the eyes of anyone who's really into Ferraris. Gotta do the V12, though, if you're to live the lifelong dream. No matter what you may give up in track day dynamics. Just make sure the track you're on has long straights and you'll clobber anyone else on Earth.
While there isn't a lot you can do to a front-mount V12 Ferrari to make it a real star at tight circuits or for frenzied getaways from the CHP on 17 Mile Drive after mugging Clint Eastwood (personal experience), you can add two superchargers to it just because. And so we come to Novitec Rosso's current raison d'tre: the two belt-driven Rotrex superchargers clamped to the F140C 65-degree V12. Why? Like I said: because.
Wolfgang Hagedorn started all this adventure in the manured fields of Stetten in Swabia back in 1989, upgrading Fiats. Easy to do actually, if you've ever driven a stock Fiat from that period. Then in '96 Hagedorn moved up to the Eastside and began upgrading Alfas. But he dreamed of Ferraris.
Starting in 2003, Novitec Rosso started selling its first supercharged Ferraris with the 360 Modena. The only previous V12 treatment Novitec had done prior to this 599 was on the Enzo in 2005--which ain't bad for starters--so they have experience with the engine.
Novitec takes the 599 with optional F1 shifting and amps it up while also making it look the business. Starting with the lowbrow data, horsepower in Stetten shifts upward from the standard car's 612 hp at 7600 rpm to now 797 hp at 7800 rpm, a 30 percent leap. Then the all-important (and forever underappreciated and misunderstood) torque moves from 448 lb-ft peaking at 5600 rpm to a crushing 607 lb-ft at 6300 rpm, a 35 percent leap. Acceleration to 62 mph (i.e., 100 km/h) jumps down to 3.5 seconds, while top speed stays relatively the same. Last I checked, 208 mph was plenty fast.
The stars of the show, apart from the mandatory ECU tweaks and higher-flow port injectors, are the two compact C38-81-type traction-drive Rotrex superchargers with external silicone oil pumps. Max boost pressure is actually rather discreet at just 5.7 psi, but again look what you're dealing with; this V12 doesn't need much coaxing to scare the crap out of any chassis. Massaging the throughput like this also allowed Novitec Rosso to shy away from lowering the 11.2:1 compression ratio. Hence also the ability to maintain the highly desirable, high-revving exhaust note for which most Ferrari owners are Ferrari owners. Helping make this possible without frying the whole deal is a new pair of double-the-capacity water-to-air intercoolers with extra watercoolers tacked on.
As a result of all this noble workmanship, I was able to get my yah-yahs out all over the local autobahn and through hill and dale on the two-lanes. Whereas the weight of the steering on the stock 599 is too lightweight, especially for highway cruising, I didn't bother to even notice this defect here, so intent was I on making music with the new Fuchs stainless steel quad exhaust with its bypass valves and 3.5-inch diameter tips. As you can surmise, throttle response is freakin' awesome now and it functions to perfection when mated to the 100-millisecond fastest shifts of the F1-Superfast gearbox. (The 70-millisecond shifts of the latest version on the 430 Scuderia would work even better, but that'll be in the next higher trim version from Maranello and come possibly, finally, with seven speeds in 2010.)

Guild members are highly talented and engaged individuals, all donating considerable time and energy to their guilds' events or projects. Guild members do a great job of sharing the multitude of tasks involved in hosting a successful event. However, when it comes to filling a position with more responsibility, such as president, treasurer or event chair, many of our guilds find it challenging to find a successor.
Regardless of the details of your succession plan, the most important factor in creating a successful transition is starting early. Debbie Cady, Guild Association trustee and member of the Frances W. Nordstrom Guild, says, "A few weeks after our event, the officers meet for coffee to brainstorm who we think would make a good officer for the next year."
Louisa Malatos, trustee and KC Howard Guild member, adds, "My guild strives to plan more than a year in advance. The transition always works better when the incoming president works side by side with the current president."
As you develop your early succession plan, consider:
Taking on the role of president, treasurer or event chair can be daunting. Make it as easy for the incoming officer as possible. "When a member calls to make the ask, we also offer to help with the transition," adds Cady.
In addition to ensuring that you have someone to train or help with the transition, keep documentation for every position. "Depending on your event, have books that include examples, instructions, templates, a timeline and position goals," says Malatos.
This level of detail gives the new person a roadmap as guidance in the role. Trustee and Friends of Costco Guild member Laurie Taylor says, "Providing a clear project plan can make the difference as to whether or not someone might agree to take on a new responsibility."
For more than 100 years, guilds have operated with an officer structure. Some guilds have realized that the typical officer structure doesn't work for their membership. The following guilds got creative and found a leadership structure that worked for succession planning and running their events or projects:
Whatever your guild's structure, having a solid succession plan in place that allows you to start early and be creative will make transitions easier for everyone and ultimately strengthen your guild.

Washington, DC--Eugene Rutagarama, who has spent 20 years protecting Africa's endangered mountain gorillas in war-torn Rwanda, is being featured this week on CNN's African Voices.
KILIMANJARO HEARTLAND--Kenyan and Tanzanian wildlife authorities have released results of the first joint aerial cross-border wildlife census conducted in the Greater Amboseli-West Kilimanjaro/Magadi-Natron landscapes. The African Wildlife Foundation with other partners supported the park authorities as they conducted the census within their respective borders.
LONDON--The links between the environment and development have long been discussed, but only recently has this discussion focused specifically on the possible links between biodiversity conservation and poverty reduction. Even if conservation efforts are successful in stemming biodiversity loss, experts ask, can such efforts help ease poverty and, if so, how we can ensure that such an outcome holds across regions and population groups?
The African Wildlife Foundation (AWF) is pleased to announce it is now accepting applications for the 2010-2011 Charlotte Conservation Fellows scholarship program. This year the scholarship will focus on candidates from Democratic Republic of Congo, Southern Sudan, South Africa, Zambia, Niger, Benin, and Burkina Faso.
Large Hotel Group Will Reconsider Proposal for Development in Zambia
ZAMBEZI HEARTLAND, ZAMBIA--The Protea Group of Hotels has withdrawn its proposal to develop a large hotel and conference center on the banks of the Lower Zambezi River in Zambia, heeding concerns raised by conservation groups and community leaders that the complex as originally designed could have a serious ecological impact on the wilderness area where it was to be located.

Very pretty green creamer in the Daisy and Button pattern with a ribbed applied handle. Not sure of the manufacturer but it was most likely produced by either L.G. Wright Glass or Smith Glass. It stands 5 inches high with a 3-inch diameter base. This creamer is in excellent condition with no signs of damage in this intricately-designed pattern. A beautiful piece for your dining table or to add to a Daisy and Button collection.

Light blue single candlestick by Fostoria in the discontinued Coin Glass pattern. It stands 4-1/2 inches tall and has a 4 inch base. With the exception of a chip on the base (see photo), it is in otherwise excellent condition. Even with the chip, this pretty ice blue candlestick would still be a nice display piece with the chip turned toward the back.
Beautiful set of six (6) 12 oz. flat tumblers measuring 5-1/2 inches tall with green diamonds and an overlay of gold filigree designs. This discontinued Culver Ltd. tumbler was probably manufactured in the 1960's/1970's and is sometimes referred to as the Valencia pattern. Each glass is signed Culver Ltd. and is in excellent condition with no chips or cracks. This set does not appear to have been used very much as there is very minimal wear to the gold overlay...

XML Primer
XML - EXtensible Markup Language
XML is a cross-platform, software and hardware independent tool for storing and transmitting information.
XML Document Example
What is XML?
- XML stands for EXtensible Markup Language
- XML is a markup language much like HTML
- XML was designed to carry and store data, not to display data
- XML tags are not predefined. You must define your own tags
- XML is designed to be self-descriptive
- XML is a W3C Recommendation
XML Doesn't DO Anything
XML was not designed to DO anything. XML was created to structure, store and carry information.
The XML document example above is a note, to Tove from Jani, written in XML. The note has a heading and a message body. It also has to and from information. But still, this XML document does not DO anything. It is just pure information wrapped in XML tags. Someone must write a piece of software to send, receive or display it:
To: Tove
Don't forget me this weekend!
XML Tags are NOT Predefined
XML tags are not predefined. You must "invent" your own tags.
The tags used to mark up HTML documents are predefined, the author of HTML documents can only use tags that are defined in the HTML standard (like <p>, <h1>, etc.).
XML allows the author to define his/her own tags and his/her own document structure.
The tags in the example above (like <to> and <from>) are not defined in any XML standard. These tags are "invented" by the author of the XML document.

Council Action
At their May 28 meeting council gave their support to a
policy change under which the city would waive extra power
costs due if a city error was responsible for a customer
paying too little for their power bills. On the other hand,
if it was because of inaccurate or incomplete information
from the customer, they were responsible for up to three
years of back charges.
I think this is more customer friendly, said city finance director Meredith Riley, adding there had been unhappiness with the citys previous practice of back-billing any customer if an audit turned up a mistake in previous bills.

Cru (Christian organization)
|The examples and perspective in this article may not include all significant viewpoints. (September 2014)
Cru, previously known as Campus Crusade for Christ, is an interdenominational Christian organization that promotes evangelism and discipleship in more than 190 countries around the world. In 1996, USA Today called Cru the largest evangelical organization in the United States. Today, the organization employs over 25,000 full-time missionaries and has trained 225,000 volunteers around the world.[1]
Founded in 1951 at the University of California, Los Angeles by Bill Bright as a ministry for college students, Cru has since expanded its focus to include adult professionals,[2] families,[3] athletes,[4] high school students,[5] and more. The World Headquarters is located in Orlando, Florida, and the current president of the organization is Steve Douglass.[1]
Cru is also the publisher of The Four Spiritual Laws, also known as the "Knowing God Personally" booklet. This takes non-believers through the four steps of Christianity and sums up the Gospel in just a few short pages. It provides an overview to those who do not want to feel pressured by someone lecturing them. It's also an easier read for someone who finds the Bible intimidating.
On July 19, 2011, it was announced that Campus Crusade for Christ in the United States was changing its name to Cru in order to overcome existing barriers and perceptions inherent in the original name. [6]

Campus Ministry[edit]
Cru has active ministries on 1,064 college and university campuses with over 50,000 students actively involved in the U.S. ministry in 2007.[7]
While Cru continues to use one-to-one conversations about God to reach out to students, they also use mass meetings, film showings and new media, such as Google advertising with e-mail responses and social networking on Facebook. http://www.FallingPlates.com which shows a YouTube video known as "#FallingPlates" is also used extensively. [8]
The Jesus Film Project[edit]
The Jesus Film Project started in 1981 to translate the Hollywood film Jesus into other languages so that it could be shown by missionaries to peoples around the world in their native languages.[9]
The first translation was done for the Tagalog-speaking people of the Philippines.[citation needed] The organization equips thousands of missionaries to show the film, sometimes to audiences who have never seen a motion picture. Distribution in the United States has included direct mail campaigns sponsored by churches to deliver a copy of the film to every address in select zip codes across the country.[10] In 2004, the organization made the film available for viewing on its website in over 800 languages.[11] Both Jesus and The Story of Jesus for Children are available in DVD and VHS formats. Audio dramatizations in a number of languages are also available.
The origins of The Jesus Film Project date back to 1945 when a young businessman named Bill Bright wanted to privately finance a film about the life of Jesus Christ[12] that was entertaining, biblically accurate, and which could be translated into non-English languages. Rather than making a film at that time, Bright went on to found a Christian ministry to reach college students called Campus Crusade for Christ in 1951.
In 1976, with Cru's influence spreading beyond college campuses to sports, the marketplace and other aspects of society, Bright turned his attention once again to filmmaking. Hollywood producer John Heyman approached Bright to fund a project to put the entire Bible on film. The project would eventually be scaled back to just one book of the Bible, the Gospel of Luke, and be financed primarily by Campus Crusade supporters Bunker and Caroline Hunt[13] for a sum of US$6 million.
A team of 500 scholars and leaders from secular and Christian organizations began to research historical elements for a film about Jesus. Filming took place over the course of several months throughout the Middle East.[14]
Jesus was produced by John Heyman, a German-born Jew and starred British Shakespearean actor Brian Deacon as Jesus, Rivka Neumann as Mary, Yosef Shiloach as Joseph and Niko Nitai as Peter.[15]
The Jesus Film Project has translated Jesus into 1,006 languages and shown the film in 228 nations.[16] Project leaders claim that it has been viewed over 5 billion times by over 3 billion people, numbers which cannot be verified and have been greeted with skepticism by other evangelical leaders.[17]
Athletes in Action[edit]
Athletes in Action works with athletes and coaches who compete at both the collegiate and professional level to use the platform of sport to help people around the world with questions of faith.[18]
Among the events sponsored by Athletes in Action is the NFL-sanctioned Super Bowl Breakfast[19] which features the presentation of the Bart Starr Award "to honor the NFL player who best exemplifies outstanding character and leadership in the home, on the field and in the community."[20]
In 1976, Cru began providing premarital seminars for its staff members. Following their success, married staff couples began asking for encouragement through marriage seminars. Demand for the seminars spread to community leaders and pastors so they opened the seminars to the public in 1978. Since 1976 more than 1.5 million people have attended marriage conferences. Today, approximately 100 "Weekend to Remember" conferences are held annually in almost every major city in America. FamilyLife offers multiple resources like The Art of Marriage, Stepping Up, LifeReady Woman, HomeBuilders Couples Series, HomeBuilders Parenting Series, Resurrection Eggs, and What God Wants for Christmas.[21]
FamilyLife president Dennis Rainey hosts the daily FamilyLife Today radio broadcast.[22]
Josh McDowell[edit]
In 1964, Josh McDowell became a traveling representative of Cru addressing campus groups about the Christian faith. Over the years his ministry has focused on Christian apologetics, youth issues such as relationships and sexuality, and international humanitarian aid.[23]
McDowell's writings have concentrated on addressing challenges to belief, questions posed by non-Christians, doubts about faith, and non-Christian religions. Notable works include Evidence That Demands A Verdict, The Resurrection Factor, He Walked Among Us, More Than A Carpenter and The Da Vinci Code: A Quest for Answers. McDowell has arranged his arguments by pleading for a cumulative case of evidences, such as archaeological discoveries, the extant manuscripts of the biblical texts, fulfilled prophecies, and the miracle of the resurrection.[citation needed]
Global Aid Network (GAiN)[edit]
Global Aid Network (GAiN) is the humanitarian aid arm of Cru.[citation needed] In 2007–2008 fiscal year GAiN distributed over $30 million worth of aid to countries all over the world.[citation needed] Global Aid Network exists to bring the message of God's love through tangible ways. GAiN is able to partner with many countries around the world, because of the wide network of Cru.[citation needed] GAiN also has several mission trips that go on year-round.[citation needed]
Christian Embassy[edit]
The Christian Embassy is a Cru ministry with offices in a number cities around the world. Its United Nations office is accredited as a Non-Governmental Organization.[24] Another office located in Washington, D.C., is geared towards the diplomatic community, including presidential employees, members and the staff of the United States Congress, and workers in The Pentagon. Its alleged influence among the military and in national politics has attracted attention from the media.[25][26]
Cru Military[edit]
Formerly known as the Military Ministry, Cru Military was started by Bright in 1965 and originally led by retired Colonel Jack Fain, USAF (Ret.).[27] In July 2009 Christianity Today noted the organization's Bridges to Healing Ministry, which specifically addresses the issue of PTSD.[28]

- In 2012, Cru's Executive Director Bob Hawkes appeared in the Giving Library[39]
Staff members[edit]
Cru staff members raise funds for the organization to pay their salaries and ministry expenses. All staff have the same base pay adjusted by tenure, life situation (single, married, children), and geographic cost of living.[40]
Married staff members are considered a missionary team. In practice this means that if single staff members marry, their new spouse must join staff also if they are not on staff already, otherwise the existing staff member must resign. If a prospective member is engaged or plans to marry in the first year, their fiance must apply as well.[41]
Cru does not invite single parents to join, as they feel the demands of the mission would take away from the single parent's ability to raise their child.[42]
Around the world[edit]
In many parts of Europe, Cru is known as Agape Europe[43] or "New Life" in post-Soviet countries. In Israel Cru was known as ONE FOR ISRAEL until July 2013. The collegiate ministry is known in some parts of the world as Student Life (Poland, New Zealand, Australia and United Kingdom); Power to Change (Canada); Lembaga Pelayanan Mahasiswa Indonesia (LPMI) In Indonesia; or LIFE Ministry (southeast Africa). In English-Speaking West Africa, the organization is known as Great Commission Movement. The changing of the name of the U.S.-based ministry to Cru will not affect the names of overseas ministries.

Hundreds of firefighters lined the streets in front of the Church of the Divine Child in Dearborn to bid farewell to 29-year-old Brian Woehlke, a Wayne-Westland firefighter who was killed while crews battled a blaze at a Westland strip mall last week."There's a brotherhood in the fire service that when we lose one of our own, we protect them through the service," Russ McNamee, deputy chief with the Dearborn Heights fire department.
The avid golfer, soccer player and University of Michigan football fan was carried from the funeral home to the church in a vintage fire truck Monday morning. His casket draped in an American flag.
