2017-01-30This systematic review examines whether negative affect symptoms (i.e., anxiety, depression, and internalizing symptoms more broadly) predict subsequent adolescent substance use after controlling for co-occurring externalizing symptoms. Following PRISMA procedures, we identified 61 studies that tested the association of interest. Findings varied depending on the type of negative affect symptom and to some extent on the substance use outcome. The most consistent associations were evident for depressive symptoms, particularly as predictors of substance use composite scores. No clear association between anxiety and substance use or between internalizing symptoms and substance use was evident, and indeed these associations were as often negative as positive. Mixed findings regarding the depression–substance use association, however, also call for greater attention to potential moderating factors that may help define who, when, and in what context depression serves as an important risk factor for later substance use above and beyond risk associated with externalizing symptoms.

2016-10-13Nicotine replacement therapy is an effective intervention for smoking cessation, but adherence tends to be low. This article presents results from a pilot evaluation of a brief smoking cessation treatment to improve adherence to the nicotine patch among Latino smokers living with HIV/AIDS. Forty smokers were randomized to receive either a standard 5 As counseling session and 8-week treatment of nicotine patch, or a similar intervention that added a 10-min module to the 5 As counseling that focused on improving adherence to the nicotine patch. Smoking outcomes (breath carbon monoxide monitoring verified 7-day point prevalence and continuous abstinence) were evaluated through a 3-month follow-up. Patch usage during the follow-up period was also assessed. Intention to treat analyses indicated that abstinence rates were 2 to 3 times higher in the adherence condition compared with the standard condition (7-day point prevalence abstinence: 35.0% vs. 15.0%; continuous abstinence: 30.0% vs. 10.0%). Nicotine patch compliance over an 8-week period was also higher in the adherence condition than in the standard condition (44% vs. 25%). Although this small pilot was conducted to estimate effect sizes and was not powered to detect group differences, results are promising and suggest that adding a 10-min module focused on nicotine patch adherence to a standard 5 As protocol can increase abstinence rates. Given that this smoking cessation treatment was not specifically tailored to either HIV-positive smokers or Latino smokers, future research should examine whether it may be a promising approach for improving nicotine patch adherence in the general population of smokers.

2016-11-07The consumption of alcohol mixed with energy drinks (AmED) has been associated with higher rates of binge drinking and impaired driving when compared with alcohol alone. However, it remains unclear why the risks of use of AmED are heightened compared with alcohol alone even when the doses of alcohol consumed are similar. Therefore, the purpose of this laboratory study was to investigate if the rate of self-paced beverage consumption was faster for a dose of AmED versus alcohol alone using a double-blind, within-subjects, placebo-controlled study design. Participants (n = 16) of equal gender who were social drinkers attended 4 separate test sessions that involved consumption of alcohol (1.97 ml/kg vodka) and energy drinks, alone and in combination. On each test day, the dose assigned was divided into 10 cups. Participants were informed that they would have a 2-h period to consume the 10 drinks. After the self-paced drinking period, participants completed a cued go/no-go reaction time (RT) task and subjective ratings of stimulation and sedation. The results indicated that participants consumed the AmED dose significantly faster (by ∼16 min) than the alcohol dose. For the performance task, participants' mean RTs were slower in the alcohol conditions and faster in the energy-drink conditions. In conclusion, alcohol consumers should be made aware that rapid drinking might occur for AmED beverages, thus heightening alcohol-related safety risks. The fast rate of drinking may be related to the generalized speeding of responses after energy-drink consumption. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)(image)
2017-02-09Cessation self-efficacy has been shown to be a consistent predictor of smoking cessation outcomes. To date, no scale assessing cessation self-efficacy has been validated across smokers with and without a psychiatric diagnosis (current or past). Smokers with a psychiatric diagnosis are typically heavy smokers, have a more difficult time quitting, and are more prone to experience lower self-efficacy. Determining whether smoking cessation self-efficacy scores are invariant across these populations is crucial for future research and intervention strategies. Data from the Flexible and Extended Dosing of Nicotine Replacement Therapy (NRT) and Varenicline in Comparison to Fixed Dose NRT for Smoking Cessation: The FLEX Trial, a randomized control trial for smoking cessation, was used to assess the factor structure of the Smoking Cessation Self-Efficacy Questionnaire (SEQ-12), a 12-item scale assessing an individual's confidence to refrain from smoking. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was used to compare the model's fit between the original factor structure and the present data, and to test for measurement invariance across with a current, past, or no psychiatric diagnosis. Initial support was found for both a 2- and 3-factor structure. Using CFA, only the 3-factor model displayed adequate fit indices (Global Fit Index [GFI] = 0.924). Results from the model comparisons showed no differences between those with a current, past, or no psychiatric diagnosis (cmin (30) = 38.64, p = .134). The 3 factors were highly correlated, indicative of an underlying global factor. The SEQ-12 was found to be measurement invariant across treatment-seeking smokers, with preliminary evidence suggesting it is a valid measurement scale for evaluating overall cessation self-efficacy, regardless of psychiatric status.

2016-12-01Alcohol dependence is characterized by conflict between approach and avoidance motivational orientations for alcohol that operate in automatic and controlled processes. This article describes the first study to investigate the predictive validity of these motivational orientations for relapse to drinking after discharge from alcohol detoxification treatment in alcohol-dependent patients. One hundred twenty alcohol-dependent patients who were nearing the end of inpatient detoxification treatment completed measures of self-reported (Approach and Avoidance of Alcohol Questionnaire; AAAQ) and automatic (modified Stimulus-Response Compatibility task) approach and avoidance motivational orientations for alcohol. Their drinking behavior was assessed via telephone follow-ups at 2, 4, and 6 months after discharge from treatment. Results indicated that, after controlling for the severity of alcohol dependence, strong automatic avoidance tendencies for alcohol cues were predictive of higher percentage of heavy drinking days (PHDD) at 4-month (β = 0.22, 95% CI [0.07, 0.43]) and 6-month (β = 0.22, 95% CI [0.01, 0.42]) follow-ups. We failed to replicate previous demonstrations of the predictive validity of approach subscales of the AAAQ for relapse to drinking, and there were no significant predictors of PHDD at 2-month follow-up. In conclusion, strong automatic avoidance tendencies predicted relapse to drinking after inpatient detoxification treatment, but automatic approach tendencies and self-reported approach and avoidance tendencies were not predictive in this study. Our results extend previous findings and help to resolve ambiguities with earlier studies that investigated the roles of automatic and controlled cognitive processes in recovery from alcohol dependence.

2017-01-09The purpose of this study was to examine the association of acculturation with substance use treatment outcomes in a sample of treatment-seeking Latino/as (N = 405). The study used data from a multisite randomized controlled trial of a culturally adapted version of Motivational Enhancement Therapy delivered in Spanish. Berry, Kim, Minde, and Mok's (1987) acculturation model was used to divide the sample into 4 types (integrated, assimilated, separated, marginalized), based on Bicultural Involvement Questionnaire scores. One-way analyses of variance, chi-squared tests, and repeated-measures regression were used to examine baseline acculturation, posttreatment outcomes, and follow-up outcomes. All participants were of Latino/a background, and 88.4% of the sample was male. Participants with greater acculturation to American culture (i.e., integrated and assimilated acculturation types) reported more substance use and associated problems at baseline, χ²(3) = 20.5, p < .001, with the integrated type reporting the highest percentage of substance use disorder symptoms and problems (67.6%). No significant differences in substance use were detected among acculturation types posttreatment or at follow-up. Although the integrated and assimilated acculturation types were associated at baseline with more substance use and associated problems, all acculturation types seemed to benefit at posttreatment from an evidence-based culturally adapted treatment.

2017-01-12Smoking and drinking frequently co-occur. For example, alcohol use is associated with smoking lapses during quit attempts. However, little is known regarding psychological factors explaining drinking among smokers. Anxiety sensitivity is a risk factor associated with hazardous drinking and drinking to cope and/or conform, although little is known about mechanisms underlying such associations. One potential explanatory factor is emotion dysregulation. The current study examined emotion dysregulation as an explanatory factor underlying Anxiety Sensitivity and 5 alcohol-related outcomes: hazardous drinking, alcohol consumption, alcohol problems, coping-oriented drinking, and drinking to conform. Participants for this study were 467 treatment-seeking adult, daily smokers (48.2% women; Mage = 36.7 years, SD = 13.6) who reported smoking an average of 16.5 cigarettes per day. Results indicate significant indirect effects of Anxiety Sensitivity on hazardous drinking via emotion dysregulation, alcohol consumption, alcohol problems, drinking to cope, and drinking to conform. Effects were medium in size. Alternative models testing indirect effects of emotion dysregulation through Anxiety Sensitivity on outcomes, and Anxiety Sensitivity through outcomes on emotion dysregulation were nonsignificant and all had small effect sizes. Follow-up tests examined the path of effects from Anxiety Sensitivity through specific emotion-dysregulation subfactors. Thus, among treatment-seeking smokers, emotion dysregulation may explain the associations of Anxiety Sensitivity with alcohol-related outcomes. This pattern of findings highlights the potential importance of interventions targeting emotion dysregulation among hazardous-drinking smokers.

2017-02-09Does substance use run in families? In this article, we examine both homotypic continuity in substance use—the impact of a parent's adolescent substance use on their child's adolescent substance use—and heterotypic continuity—the impact of a parent's adolescent substance use on their child's involvement in other adolescent problem behaviors. The analysis is based on data from the Rochester Youth Development Study (Thornberry, Lizotte, Krohn, Smith, & Porter, 2003) and its intergenerational component, the Rochester Intergenerational Study (Thornberry, 2009). The initial study began with a representative sample of 7th and 8th grade students followed until Age 31, and the intergenerational study is currently following their oldest biological child from childhood through adolescence. The final sample size in the current analysis consists of 341 parent–child dyads. For fathers, their adolescent substance use predicts both homotypic and heterotypic outcomes of their child. For mothers, however, there is no evidence of intergenerational continuity for either homotypic or heterotypic outcomes. In contrast, when the parent's adult substance use is examined, the opposite pattern emerges. The mother's adult substance use is a more consistent predictor of child behavioral outcomes, but there is little evidence that the father's adult behavior matters. Thus, it appears that the answer to the question of whether or not substance use runs in families is more nuanced than typically thought. Based on these results, continuity depends both on the sex of the parent and when in the parent's life-course substance use occurs. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2017 APA, all rights reserved)(image)
2016-11-07Little is known about the extent and nature of youth exposure to online alcohol advertising, or factors that may be associated with exposure. The current study recruited middle school students who completed a paper survey and then logged each alcohol advertisement that they encountered over a 2-week period using cell phones as part of an ecological momentary assessment design. We examined the percentage of youth who reported exposure to online alcohol advertising in the past 2 weeks, average weekly rate of exposure, types of online alcohol advertisements youth reported seeing, and factors that increased youths' risk of exposure to online alcohol advertising. Analyses are based on 485 participants (47% female; 25% Hispanic, 25% White, 27% Black; 6% Asian, 16% other). Youth logged exposures to a total of 3,966 (16,018 weighted for underreporting) alcohol advertisements across the monitoring period; 154 (568 weighted) or 3.6% were online ads. Seventeen percent of youth reported seeing any online alcohol ad; the majority of online ads seen were video commercials (44.8%) and banner/side ads (26.6%). Factors associated with greater ad exposure were being older, rebellious, and Black race; greater parental monitoring and more hours spent on social media were associated with less exposure. Findings provide important information about adolescents' exposure to online alcohol advertising and what might contribute to a greater likelihood of exposure. Given that online ad exposure is linked to drinking behavior, prevention programming for younger adolescents should continue to address this issue to help youth make healthy choices regarding alcohol use.

2017-01-12Research documents increased and problematic alcohol use during study abroad experiences for college students yet no research documents effective preventive programs with these students. The present randomized controlled trial was designed to prevent increased and problematic alcohol use abroad by correcting misperceptions of peer drinking norms abroad and by promoting positive and healthy adjustment into the host culture (i.e., sojourner adjustment) through brief online personalized feedback interventions. A sample of 343 study abroad college students was randomly assigned to 1 of 4 conditions including a personalized normative feedback intervention (PNF), a sojourner adjustment feedback intervention (SAF), a combined PNF + SAF intervention, and an assessment-only control condition. Generalized estimated equation analyses accounting for baseline drinking and consequences revealed an intervention effect for PNF that was mitigated by baseline drinking level, such that PNF was best for those with lighter baseline drinking, but heavier baseline drinkers receiving PNF alone or PNF + SAF drank comparatively similar or more heavily abroad to those in the control condition. However, PNF + SAF condition participants with greater baseline levels of consequences reported comparatively less consequences abroad than their control participants. Thus, PNF alone may be helpful for lighter drinkers at predeparture and the addition of SAF to PNF may help prevent consequences abroad for those reporting more consequences prior to departure abroad. This research represents an important first step in designing and implementing efficacious interventions with at-risk study abroad college students, for which no current empirically based programs exist.

In separate letters to the Senate and House of Representatives, Mr Clinton urged spending of dollars 23m ( pounds 15m) to fund the Selective Service System (SSS), the US agency which administers the draft, saying it was essential for long-term national security and as a 'hedge against unforeseen threats'.
In March, the Pentagon had sent its own report to Congress, saying the SSS could be scrapped since it would not interfere with military mobilisation in time of war, and would have no effect on recruitment to the armed services.
In the end, Mr Clinton took the advice of his White House national security advisers, who insisted the present system be kept in operation. Ending registration, he said, 'could send the wrong signal to potential enemies', and would remove a 'low-cost insurance policy' against the risk of underestimating an enemy's overall threat to the US.
Finally, argued a President who is conspicuously uncomfortable in military settings, it was important in an era where fewer Americans had direct experience of the armed forces, to maintain the link 'between an all-volunteer force and society at large'.
Mr Clinton was eligible for the Vietnam draft in the late 1960s. He manoeuvred to defer it while a student at Georgetown and Oxford Universities. His behaviour was technically legal, but became a great embarrassment during the 1992 election campaign and has been a notable factor in his awkward relations with the Pentagon since taking office.

Few things can cause such a stir in the SEO world as a significant change in Google rankings, not least because such changes are so unusual.
John Mueller gave a direct and simple "No," to answer the question of whether code to text ratios are a ranking factor.
Looks like for some users, the 3-pack (once a 6-pack) has become a 2-pack!
Here's a topic that comes up every now and then - are products like Google Analytics and Chrome really useful, or are they just sabotaging you from the inside?
From now on, Google says that only reviews that are "directly produced by your site" can be marked up.
In order to get some stars and seller reviews showing up in AdWords ads, businesses are currently told that they need at least 30 reviews.
In an effort to provide easier access for mobile users to webpage content, Google announced it will start lowering the rankings of websites with "intrusive interstitials" starting on January 10, 20
Used to be, you could only have three AdSense ads on a page at a time - but no longer!
I should have known better - there are always a few jerks who take a great thing and abuse it.
The Right to be Forgotten saga is one of the more interesting stories surrounding Google (for me anyway, since I was the oldest sibling this is how I watch big brothers fight).
Google's Keyword Planner, an AdWords tool, is now restricting the amount of data available to non-advertiser or low budget accounts.
So Mozilla has a new browser add-on for Firefox called Test Pilot, which displays a link to the Wayback Machine whenever a user hits a 404 page.
On April 21st I reported that ads were spotted in the More Places section of local results in Europe.
Google is just ALL about AMP lately. And the rumor mill always seems to posit that what Google likes, it gives a SERPs boost to.
Webmasters all over the world can't wrap their heads around some of Google's data reporting. And it's not surprising, because some of those reports are pretty difficult to understand.
Alphabet (and therefore Google) saw year on year profit growth of 24% for Q2 2016.
Have on-page links become impossible to find? Have designers taken over the 'Net and thus made hyperlinked text ind
There's a neat thread on WebmasterWorld about what makes good traffic for an AdSense publisher. Nice to see a positive thread ab
Despite all the predictions that links will get less and less important for rankings, there's no proof it's actually going to happen any time soon.

Patong by night
Nightlife, Phuket
Patong by night is one of the highlights of any one's stay on Phuket Island. It is unlikely you will have seen much like Patong on Soi Bangla as the only words to describe it are wild, outrageous, alternative, blinding. The center of all Phuket shows, Bars, Clubs and nightlife in Patong is Soi Bangla or Bangla Road.
For a dazzling 250 meters with all its off shoot sub streets it is all entertainment.. a fair bit is adult entertainment but the atmosphere is party party.
Many people travel along way to come to Patong nightlife. It's a place where you are bound to find a wild night.
Combine this location with fantastic restaurants and a sunset to die for on the beach it is no wonder that Patong Beach hotels and resort are very popular.

Our Pax Romana Icmica website has been hacked last Sunday February 26th. Actually you can reach it with browsers like Internet Explorer but not by Mozilla Firefox. This hacking seems to be focused on websites which don't have the last software version. One explanation is that older softwares are more vulnerable to hacking. Another one is that Google and others have decided to put pressure on websites to make them move to the last versions, who possibily give them a better control on what users are doing on the website.
Anyway we are doing our best to fix this problem, and we hope to come back soon to a normal situation.
From Aloisia Wörgetter, head of "Dialogue of Cultures" in Bundesministerium Europa Integration Äusseres. Austria
As pluralism and diversity are growing in Austria, dialogue becomes a need. Austria´s conception of dialogue with the civil society showed blind spots in cultures and religions. Dialogue is a modern method of diplomacy in contrary to negotiation. It happens on a very deep level. Dialogue opens up the space to wisdom spaces, peace building, to society and religious leaders.
Dialogue is part of prevention methodologies and is needed especially in common situations in which two or more persons have different views on a subject, here dialogue can lead to transformation. "We want to get a change of convictions peacefully, to insight, to trust building. To come to a change we need different methods to reach deeper, to learn about the others." International dialogue helps to build social cohesion, where freedom of religion, culture and politics, rights of minorities are allowed.
Established in 1947 with the impulse of Bishop Roncalli - Saint John XXIII - to be a presence and a voice for Christian NGOs at UNESCO, the CCIC is carrying on its mission of being a center for reflection and remaining a force for proposals reflecting the field experience of its members international network.
The CCIC is sharing the concerns of international institutions, states and civil society on the state of the world.
In the preparation of its Forum, the CCIC reflection work prioritized topics related to these concerns. It led to the selection of three domains related to UNESCO's missions : culture, science and education.
Enriched with the contributions of speakers from diverse backgrounds, the Forum aims at answering the question «What world do we wish to build together ?» through:
• Alerting the public
• Broadening our horizons
• Bringing forward proposals
• Initiating future actions
As part of its partnership with UNESCO, the CCIC is renewing its commitment to cooperate at the construction of Peace. Through this Forum, the CCIC wants to offer our contemporaries reasons for hope.

MODESTO, Calif., Feb. 18, 2017 – The Most Rev. Robert W. McElroy, head of the Roman Catholic Diocese of San Diego, today delivered the following comments at the U.S. Regional World Meeting of Popular Movements during a panel discussion on the barriers marginalized people face in housing and work.
For the past century, from the worker movements of Catholic action in France, Belgium and Italy to Pope John XXXIII's call to re-structure the economies of the world in "Mater et Magistra," to the piercing missionary message of the Latin American Church at Aparecida, the words "see," "judge" and "act" have provided a powerful pathway for those who seek to renew the temporal order in the light of the Gospel and justice.
As the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace described this pathway, it lies in "seeing clearly the situation, judging with principles that foster the integral development of people and acting in a way which implements these principles in the light of everyone's unique situation."
There is no greater charter for this gathering taking place here in Modesto in these days than the simple but rich architecture of these three words: "see," "judge" and "act." Yet these words -- which carry with them such a powerful history of social transformation around the world in service to the dignity of the human person -- must be renewed and re-examined at every age and seen against the background of those social, economic and political forces in each historical moment.
Presentation of Pax Romana ICMICA based on interviews realized during the Plenary Assembly of Barcelona
Presentation of the International Assembly of Pax Romana ICMICA in Barcelona October 2016
The 2017 World Forum for Democracy will focus on the role of political parties and media in the context of raising populism. A growing disconnect between citizens and political elites and dramatic changes in the media ecosystem are a challenge for democracy as we know it. New political and media actors and practices are emerging, offering opportunities for direct, unmediated engagement of the public, unbound by ethical or institutional safeguards. How can pluralism, freedom of expression, and fair and evidence-based public debate be safeguarded in these new conditions? How to nourish political culture which embraces a long-term perspective and resists the excesses of populism?
Meeting from January 23rd to 27th, 2017 in Strasbourg, the Conference of INGOs of the Council of Europe brought together some 300 INGO delegates, experts, parliamentarians and permanent representatives of Council of Europe member states who discussed several major issues of concern today :
On November 251h and 261h of this year, 2016, the Joan Maragall Foundation - a Barcelona center dedicated to the dialogue between faith and culture - and Obra Social "La Caixa" organized the International Symposium "State and religion and their relationship in today's pluralistic democracies" at the Palau Macaya. This event completed the reflection that the Joan Maragall Board of Trustees has dedicated to a topic that has lately been the object of their concern.
With this symposium, the Joan Maragall Foundation and the Palau Macaya intend to encourage debate and reflection on today's challenges for religion and the emergence of religious pluralism in democratic societies today, especially in Europe.

Dear friends,
You will find the program of this session: Order of Business and Working groups and as attachment the wishes of the President of the Conference.
Very cordially, Philippe Grolleau.
If I were to indicate what feeling prevails today in western societies, I'd say fear. Often unacknowledged or exorcised through displays of security and strength, fear hides in the thoughts of many people, in the decisions of entire populations, in turn back to ideologies that we thought were no longer occupy the scenario of our countries. Afraid, we try to give a name to identify an enemy to fight and to whom to attribute the faults of many social problems that we cannot solve. This enemy is identified as external to us: the Isis, monster that creates cruel children also in our well-ordered society; foreign, invading our lands and feeding new social tensions; European bureaucracy which oppresses our lives with rules made to limit our freedom.
Exorcising mercy almost a year ago, Pope Francis launched the Jubilee of Mercy, with the aim of helping us to experience mercy, both the mercy which all of us need to receive from God and the mercy we must show towards all those overwhelmed by suffering.
But there are some words which are traitorous: words that though they mean positive and good things, sound bad, at least to some people. One of these words is mercy. Is mercy a weakness? Nietzsche said, 'I do not like the merciful who feel blessed in their pity". And maybe modern man feels too self-sufficient.
Merry Christmas 2016 and Happy New Year 2017.
We hope that next year will be economically, socially and politically better. In Indonesia, the group of the Muslim extremists have shown an anti christian attitude. Recently there was a large demonstration opposing the major of Jakarta, who will run for the next period governor post. It was the biggest demonstration ever made in Jakarta.
Fortunately the government of Indonesia under Jokowi presidency is firmly protecting the rights of minority, which is written in the constitution. It has been found several bombs intended to be used for the churches at the Christmas nights. It was fortunate that the polices have been continuously agile and speedily acting to capture the extremist groups.
But in reality, the majority of the population are not against the Christians, but the small extremists have their network and means to act. Some of them have been trained in the Middle East, the ISIS group.
I hope that French and all European Christian countries are protected by the God's mercy.
Since June 2015, I have been a member of the National Independent Electoral Commission (CENI) of the DRC. I had the privilege of having been appointed by the civil society organisations working in the civic and electoral education for a non-renewable six-year term Our main challenge, as a member of CENI, is to organise fair and transparent elections at local, provincial and national levels. In particular, I am in charge of following up the youth, persons living with disabilities and indigenous populations.
From freedom to security
The leading value put forward by politicians today is not freedom but rather security. The world, value systems, society, health, culture – all of these are portrayed as vulnerable and open to attack, and are therefore perceived as such.
This reality is concocted by the media, which have their agendas of economic and political interests, fuelled by daily rations of shock, horror, fear and vulnerability.
Yet "freedom", not "security", is the message that the major religions of the world are putting forward, namely their vision of "what is still possible". This is the message that religious representatives should be proclaiming, whether or not the timing is right.
Understanding fear: moral panic

The North America region of ICMCIA/MIIC is pleased to present this brief report for the Assembly. We look forward to taking the next steps to renew this region in the coming years. We hope that this Assembly will help to guide some of our questions as we move forward (see challenges).
A. Mobilizing Communities of Young Professionals
Over the past four years, we have prioritized outreach to young professionals. Our focus has been on engaging both young professionals and young lay theologians (see list of events). As a movement, we have organized or co-sponsored several events related to this effort. Kevin Ahern has visited existing communities in, Boston and Washington and has tried to establish or connect with new communities in New York, Toronto, Denver, and other cities. He has also worked on the board of several national organizations dealing with this question. These include: the Catholic Common Ground Initiative, America Media (Jesuits), Daily Theology, and the Church in the 21st Century Center of Boston College. In 2015, Kevin was asked to lead a session on young professionals in the Pontifical Council for Justice and Peace's conference on the 50th Anniversary of Guadium et Spes.

The sun rises on a bold, dynamic design, with curves and lines an expression of captivating style and sharp sophistication. The new Sportage-RHD, a car that lets you live life to the full.
Surefooted road handling and exceptional traction over the most demanding terrain. With all-wheel drive, the Sportage-RHD really shows you what it's made of.
The art of metropolitan living is all about finding the perfect balance between work and pleasure. It's a matter of not only reaching your goals, but relishing the journey that takes you there.
Modern driving demands performance with efficiency, and the Sportage-RHD delivers on both.
Kia's family-look front grille gives Sportage an instantly recognisable and modern appearance.
When you lock the car after parking, the headlamps stay reassuringly lit for 30 seconds.
Offering a touch of class with their looks, aerodynamics and built-in LED lights, the wing mirrors also provide rapid de-misting on cold & rainy days.
The sculpted, voluminous wheel arches and side sills are all part of Sportage-RHD's dynamic stance.
Separated from the main rear lamp cluster, the rear signal lamps form an elegant part of the rear bumper.
Built into the contours of the bodywork, the multi-coloured rear combination lamps are designed to ensure that the flowing lines of the Sportage-RHD are not disturbed.
Take a seat. This is your kind of vehicle. With the horizontal dashboard layout creating a feeling of space, the sensation is like being seated inside a sporty coupe.
The all-glass panoramic sunroof operates with tilt and slide efficiency, while featuring built-in safety mechanisms to prevent wandering hands from getting trapped.
The Sportage's spacious interior embodies the three key design elements of rugged elegance, smooth surfacing and stylish functionality. Ergonomically designed seats combined with three-dimensional moulding complete the harmonious solidity.
The optional large touch screen audio system provides enhanced intuitive control of numerous functions.
Bluetooth hands-free lets you talk on the phone without taking your hands from the steering wheel, and also lets you stream music.
With MP3, iPod and USB connectivity, you can enjoy your favourite music from a range of mobile storage devices and portable music players.
Turn it up, turn it down. The audio system can be controlled from the steering wheel at the touch of your fingertips.
Newly added rear air-vents provide better heating & cooling capabilities for rear passengers. (Available only on A/T models with foot parking brake)
The Sportage doesn't just provide ample room for you to stow your gear. Thanks to 60:40 split folding rear seats, you can carry luggage of all shapes and sizes. So loading long items like skis is just as easy as carrying compact items like suitcases and sports holdalls. Add further convenient stowage areas like a sunglasses holder complete with map reading lamp, drink holders and an illuminated glove box, and everything is where it should be.
A luggage screen hides your gear while a net prevents stowed away items from sliding about so you can load up your Sportage with peace of mind.
Not only do they shield your eyes from the sun, but also feature built in vanity mirrors.
Just what you need to study a map closely, together with a useful place to keep sunglasses within easy reach.

Do Your Job
I love the city of Boston! Today, the saying "Do your Job!" is ringing clearly. After spending 24 years on this very block of Boylston St. training thousands of people. To me, this is right in the middle of everything "Boston!" Today will be no exception. It is early and the city is prepped to celebrate the greatest Superbowl ever. Why? Because the Patriots did one simple thing. This block of Boylston St is where I have done my job. Between all the Championship parades for Red Sox, Celtics and Pats, not to mention this is also two blocks from the finish line of the Boston Marathon. On this block I have witnessed all of it. I remember when I graduated from college in '94 I said to myself "If I am going to have a career as a personal trainer this is where I need to be". That was a strategic choice and within a day I had in interview at a great place because my buddy Brenden was a Concierge at the Copley Plaza. (1 block in the other direction) IT WAS THE BEST DECISION OF MY LIFE. In the process, I have learned from the incredible people I have had the honor of serving and getting to know … while doing my...Read More

|Official title
|Does Intensive Life Style Intervention Reduce the Need for Glucose Lowering Medications in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes? The U-TURN Project
|Principal investigator
|Mathias Ried-Larsen, PhD
|Adherence to lifestyle modifications including increased exercise and healthy diet improves glycemic control in patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus. However, few have investigated the combined effects of these lifestyle changes on maintenance of glycemic control while decreasing the usage of anti-diabetic medications. The primary hypothesis is that lifestyle change is equivalent in maintaining glycemic control (Hba1c) compared to the standard pharmacological treatment, The U-TURN trial also tests the effects on one key secondary outcome (glucose lowering medication) and examines the effects on sleep quality, fatigue sleepiness, sleep pattern, cardio vascular disease risk factors, psychological outcomes, blood pressure and cholesterol lowering medication. The participants (N=120) is randomized into a experimental group (N=80) and a standard care group (N=40). Additionally, the effects of the study will be evaluated 24 month post randomization.

I, Emma Freke

Emma wishes her mother would have said her name out loud before she named her, because Emma Freke, pronounced "freak," certainly feels like one. She doesn't look like anyone in her family, and at twelve years old, is almost six feet tall. School is painful and lonely and when she is given the opportunity to be homeschooled, she takes it. Her mother is young, eccentric, and irresponsible and she doesn't even know who her father is. When she gets an invitation to the Freke Family Reunion, she decides it is time for her to see who her people are and see if maybe with the Frekes, she belongs.

Ramona and Her Father

Ramona is in second grade when her father loses his job and things change in the Quimby household. Mrs. Quimby ups her hours at work from part-time to full-time and Mr. Quimby is the one at home after school with the girls. Ramona is up to her usual tricks, crowning herself with burrs, clomping through the neighborhood on tin-can stilts singing 99 Bottles of Beer on the Wall, longing to be in a TV commercial, starring as a sheep in the Navitity play at church and waging an anti-smoking campaign against her father.

Sorta Like A Rock Star

Perpetually optimistic and hopeful, seventeen-year-old Amber is living a rather strange existence. Amber, her dog, and her alcoholic mother are homeless and live on the school bus her mother drives. Her best friends are an oddball mix of outcasts (Franks Freak Force Federation), she teaches English to the "Korean Divas for Christ," visits and trades insults with a particularly cranky old lady in a nursing home, and trades haiku poems with a Vietnam vet. When Amber has cause to question everything she believes and starts to lose all hope, the eccentric and eclectic community she has built around herself rallies together to see her through.

Liesl and Po

Her father has passed away and Liesl has been locked in the attic at the hand of her evil stepmother for a long thirteen months. Outside, the sun has stopped shining and has not come out in over a thousand days. When Liesl encounters a friendly ghost named Po, she gets a message from her dead father that sends her on a journey to return his ashes to a special place. Will is an indentured servant, slaving away for the alchemist. He accidentally switches the delivery of a box full of powerful magic with a box that happens to hold Liesl's father's ashes. Liesl and Po meet up with Will and join forces on an extraordinary journey.

Wonder

Ten-year-old Auggie is just a normal kid--on the inside. As for the outside, well, that is a different story. August was born with an extreme facial abnormality and was not even expected to survive. Homeschooled his whole life by his nurturing and loving family, August's life changes as he bravely enters fifth grade at a private school in Manhattan. Will his new classmates see beyond Auggie's unique exterior and discover the terrific kid inside, or will they shun him, like so many kids have before?

As you know, The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat would be a supremely great Mother's Day gift for someone special in your life. Many book clubs all over the U.S. (and beyond) have included the novel in their discussions this year -- Lucy Sussex in her review for the Sydney Morning Herald summed it up this way: "Moore writes the interwoven stories of three Afro-American women, from the 1960s to the present. They are small-town mothers and wives, outwardly conventional, but with secrets. It could be the stuff of earnest tragedy, but Moore goes for comedy with an absurdist twist. Warm and insightful." The paperback edition of The Supremes is available in brick and mortar, big-box stores in some areas -- and check your local independent book store! There's also time to order online for Mother's Day -- using a 2-Day delivery option.
And don't forget, you can treat your loved ones and your friends (and yourself) to the audiobook version of The Supremes -- available on CDs, or by convenient, inexpensive MP3 download !
The award-winning, bestselling novel, The Supremes at Earl's All-You-Can-Eat, is the marvelous tale of Odette, Clarice, and Barbara Jean... Through marriage, children, happiness and the blues, these strong, funny women gather each Sunday at the same table at Earl's diner for delicious food, juicy gossip, occasional tears and uproarious laughter. With wit, style, and sublime talent, Edward Kelsey Moore brings together four intertwined love stories, three devoted allies, and two sprightly earthbound spirits in a warmhearted novel that celebrates friendship -- and second chances!

Northern Ireland woman takes out Facebook injunction in legal first
- 1
A woman from Northern Ireland has been granted an injunction against Facebook, among other social networks, in a case that has been described as the first of its kind in the country.
The BBC today reports that the woman's 9-year relationship with a man had recently ended, and it seems that he had threatened to upload a sexually explicit video of the couple onto social networks, and show it to her friends, family and employer.
Ever been to a tech festival?
TNW Conference won best European Event 2016 for our festival vibe. See what's in store for 2017.
Following the woman's affidavit, Mr Justice McLaughlin granted the injunction which prevents the defendant from revealing the video anywhere online. And more specifically, the judge also named Facebook Ltd as a defendant in the injunction proceedings, which is the first time this has happened in Northern Ireland.
This isn't the first time an injunction has been taken out that bans social networks from publishing information. Back in May, a far-reaching order was granted by the Court of Protection, in a case where a mother who wanted to withdraw life support from her brain-damaged daughter. The injunction prevented the woman, her relatives and those providing care from being identified on Facebook and Twitter.
It was thought that this injunction was one of the first of its kind to specifically bar publication of information on social networking websites, and it even went so far to ban reporters from going within 50 meters of the woman's care home. And we've also previously written about the super injunctions that have been taken out by high-profile celebrities to prevent private information from being spread on Twitter.

|Morceau Subrosa
|Studio album by BT
|June 19, 2012
|Laptop Symphony
|BT chronology
Morceau Subrosa (also known, in full, as SUPPLEMENTO {BT: Volume 01. SERAPHIM 09.} NUOVO MORCEAU SUBROSA {A topological ABSTRACT of Granular Systems} [Symphonie elektronik]) is the eighth studio album by composer and electronica artist BT, and was released on June 19, 2012, in tandem with If the Stars are Eternal So are You and I, his seventh studio album.
First announced in March 2012, BT described Morceau Subrosa as "unlike any other album I have released."[1] While Morceau Subrosa which was originally scheduled for release in April 2012 before If The Stars Are Eternal So Are You And I (which was supposed to be released in mid-May 2012), both albums missed their release windows. Then, after being announced for release on June 12, 2012, the albums missed the window again, finally being released one week later (June 19).[citation needed]
Musical style[edit]
Morceau Subrosa is very different in style compared to most of BT's previous works, exclusively favoring ambient soundscapes. Certain aspects of the album were previously used in These Hopeful Machines, such as ambient intros.
Track listing[edit]
- "Morceau Subrosa" - 46:42
- "Nicht Musik [Verklarung] No. 2 in D Major" (7:41)
- "Sonitum Explicandis Tardius" (6:02)
- "Tabular Sarsa(λ) Algorithm No. 13" (10:46)
- "Seraphim" (3:58)
- "Le Particules et les Sortileges Muse No. 3" (6:32)
- "The Art of Perceptual Aliasing" (3:00)
- "Chant des Etoiles Thought No. 9, K 421" (7:10)

Nashville, TN
10 Songs
Formed and refined in Nashville, TN, St. Louis native Aaron Krause sings with the authenticity and honesty of a man whose heart has lived lifetimes. His thoughtful lyrics and polished melodies display perceptive skill well beyond his 23 years.
The interplay between his pop sensibilities and emotional vulnerability yield songs that are both accessible and provocative. Moving smoothly through sonic ranges of indie folk, moody synth-pop and more, Aaron tirelessly attempts to make music that highlights poignant songwriting without regard for genre.
2013 was an exciting year for Aaron with the release of two new singles, "So Pretty I Could Lose My Mind" and "Recreational." He's also experienced YouTube success with his cover of The Police's "Every Breath You Take" featuring Nashville folk artist Liza Anne. The new year continues to hold even more promise with the release of his debut LP "Holding on to Love" set for early fall.

Super Surgeon!
Dr. Slavens saved my life, spending multiple hours over multiple surgeries. He was the only surgeon familiar with the surgery necessary for the rare disease I was infected with. He diagnosed it immeditrely in E.R. and had me in surgery within minutes. The severity of my prognosis on a scale of 1=survival to10= death, I was a "9". Dr.Slavens operated and 21 days later I walked out of BMC with no amputations necessary. That's practically unheard of statistically, when treating necrotising faciitis!

Excellent Care
Dr. Slavens performed surgery on myself for an inguinal hernia. He thoroughly explained the procedure and what to expect during recovery. I have nothing but the highest respect for him and his staff.
