Graduate Certificate in Addictions Counseling
We offer this graduate certificate for mental health and addictions treatment professionals. Individuals with this certificate can not only better serve their clients, but also increase their employment options. Mental health professionals need additional training in addictions counseling to provide services for clients struggling with this issue. Addictions professionals increasingly need graduate-level studies and graduate degrees to either qualify for treatment positions or to advance into program administration.
- An opportunity to continue your education in a way that demonstrates your initiative and interest to employers and increases your knowledge
- Graduate-level sequence of classes that organizes knowledge and information relevant to one aspect of a discipline
- Successful performance in a graduate certificate program can be applied to a master's degree program in the same discipline
General Information
The PSU Graduate Certificate in Addictions Counseling is an academic series of courses providing a broad overview of addictions counseling, concepts of treatment, and clinical skills. It can also be taken as a noncredit Certificate of Completion.
This certificate program is designed to help meet the course requirements for specialty certification through NAADAC, NBCC, NASW, and CADC I through ACCBO. Check with your respective professional association for their complete requirements.
This certificate prepares participants for work with clients struggling with addiction. The program is intended for mental health and addictions treatment professionals in the community and graduate students in related fields. It enables participants to acquire training and education in science-based practices and provides the knowledge essential to working with addicted populations.
Licensed mental health professionals, such as social workers or professional counselors, can greatly increase their employment opportunities by obtaining addictions treatment training. Many addiction treatment programs are beginning to require a master's degree as a minimum qualification for hiring, as well as training and education in addictions treatment. It has also become increasingly important for healthcare professionals to have the ability to work with clients who present both mental health and addiction issues.
Designed for:
Counselors and therapists
Clinical social workers
Students in graduate social service, mental health, and healthcare programs, including social work, counseling, school counseling, and community health.
The courses are designed as an informal cohort program with participants beginning together with the first course and continuing through the program on the same schedule. Most courses are a prerequisite for the following courses.
The Graduate Certificate or Certificate of Completion in Addictions Counseling is presented on successful completion of the program.
Documentation is issued after the completion of each course for licensed mental healthcare professionals needing to verify contact hours of academic or continuing professional education in the treatment of alcohol—and drug-related disorders as required by OAR 415-51-057 (3).

Poured into a tulip. Pours a muddy light brown color with a thick cap of beige head. The head settles to foam and gives of some sparse lacing.
Light fruity aroma; like figs with a woody undertone. Rich toasty malts give this a nice body to the nose.
Maple on the pallet with some dark fruits to finish this off. A nice oaky flavor to the finish.
The body is full with soft carbonation. A bit hot.
Overall pretty solid brew here. Really enjoyable on the cusp of winter here.

A 650 mL bomber from the brewery over Christmas.
A: The scotch ale is a tawny color, reddish in a hue that retains its translucence. A decent head, almost a finger on first pour, quickly whittles down to a thin band.
S: Plenty of malt, more than the draught version ever indicated. A mild peated aroma, very light, is par for the course, adding to the sweet tang of the rich malts.
T: The peat, soft in the nose, is upfront, adding a distinct, smoky, sea salt flavor to the ale. Sweet, lightly roasted malts follow the peat, chewier. Caramel comes through the warmer the ale gets, an aspect that is well at home with the peat. Another Portsmouth beer that is much better in the bottle. The cold temperature at the brewpub masked the delicate peat. Too bad because the bottle version is quite tasty.
M: The mouthfeel starts off salty, quickly moving into rich maltiness. My kind of wee heavy, bold and rich with just a touch of peat. I'm glad I brought a bottle home with me.
D: Pretty darn strong at 9.5%, whether it's a 70/+ or a 90/+. A good wee heavy.

Pours a dark brown root beer color with a thin mostly white head. Smells of tasted malts, alcohol, and scotch. First sip is malty like an Old Ale but with more carbonation. The 9% ABV is not hidden. It is large and warming. The caramel malty sweetness gives way for a beautiful bitter finish.

I'd mirror the thoughts below and just add that this is a beautiful beer for the malt lover. The pour I had follows the descriptions below and the taste was nothing short of graceful. what follows is a well balanced beer with a need for a second go. Well done Portsmouth!

Bottle reads 70 Shilling Scotch Ale (same as picture), which I believe is a different recipe than the 90 Shilling with a lower ABV, so I'm not sure why this is listed as an alias.
Anyway, poured into my Smuttynose "Balloon" glass it shows a light mahogany color with chestnut red highlights and a sticky looking cream colored head.
Aroma is slightly bready and biscuity with some sweeter maltiness too but really nothing too strong.
Taste is surprisingly not as sweet as expected for a Scotch Ale. Lots of toasted malt-type flavors with some caramel sweetness which are well complimented by a nice hop bitterness to round it out. As it warms, a bit more of a residual sweetness comes through but seems appropriate for style.
Mouthfeel gives you a full body feel with some chewiness to it. Overall, as with many Portsmouth beers, this is a great example of the style and something you really can't go wrong with.

Enjoyed big-time on a week-day visit to the Brewery... Tracy poured me a nice pint of rich, copper-amber colored brew with a superb, off-white, creamy head. It started out at about 1/2", then shrank to a thin, lasting layer...with very good lacing! Nose tended to be on the mild side, though malt and peaty notes were evident! Body was medium-plus...almost full....and it was quite smooth on the tongue. Nice sweetness assaulted the palate...with decent malty notes and peaty-smoky flavors (which were subtle yet present in a positive manner). There was very minimal bitterness, leading to a very smooth, easy-drinking finish! Prosit!!

Poured a nice deep brown/red, almost mahogany, color. Low carbonation.
Aroma was of toffee, chocolate, hints of vanilla and coffee. Chocolate, toffee, dark fruit flavors dominated, all mixed together and blending more and more with each sip. This is a beer that makes you really sit back and think about all the flavors you're experiencing.
The mouthfeel was smooth, with a nice full body to the beer. It never became excessive or overbearing though.
The one issue was after a while the alcohol became a bit harsh. As it warmed it seemed to get more and more hot and solvent-like.

Wow! I can't add anything to the previous reviews without being redundant. Excellent example of a Scottish ale. Nice mahogany color. Smells of malt, peat, figs. Full bodied and warming. Slight alcohol aftertaste but not overpowering. You have to taste it to believe it. Definitely a beer to be enjoyed slowly on a quiet evening.
If you have never tried a Scottish ale, this would be the perfect introduction to the style!

Bottle sampled courtesy of georgiabeer - thanks!
Pours a hazy reddish-brown color with a one-finger slightly off-white head. The head recedes into a patchy layer on top leaving decent lacing.
Smells of deep caramel malts with hints of plums, pears, and toffee.
Tastes similar to how it smells, though the fruit flavors are a bit darker. Caramel malts are once again big, followed by small amounts of booze-soaked figs and plums. Light toffee flavors come in right before the slightly bitter ending.
Mouthfeel is good. It's got a good thickness that's a bit crisper than most beers in the style.
Drinkability is very good. I had no problem finishing my glass and would have no problem finishing an entire bomber of this.
Overall this was certainly one of the tastier Wee Heavy's I've had the pleasure of imbibing. The mild fruit flavors complement the malts quite well, and this is definitely worth a shot.

I enjoyed this on tap at the brewery a while ago, but I've been a bit too busy lately to write any reviews. This is from my notes.
Pours a dark reddish brown with a one-finger beige head that faded to a thin but lasting cap. Fairly decent lacing.
Nose is caramel, toffee, a hint of peat smoke, vanilla, and some dark fruits.
Taste pretty much follows the nose, with lots of sweet caramel malt, toffee and vanilla flavors, a mild but noticeable peaty smokiness, and dark dried fruits.
Mouthfeel is on the fuller side of medium, and is very smooth.
At 9%, the alcohol is not noticeable at all. Very easy to drink and quite enjoyable. I'm psyched that I managed to score a couple of bottles of this one.

Bottle courtesy of MrRetardedMonkey poured into a snifter. My bottle clearly reads "70 Shilling Scotch Ale" but I'll stick my review here.
Pours a deep, deep copper with a small bubbly tan head that dissipates quickly to a collar leaving sporadic lacing. Aroma is dominated by sweetness with caramel malts, toffee and dark fruits, but there is a hint of citrus hops in the nose as well. The taste is a more toasted version of the smell with big sweet caramel malts and dark fruits playing big roles. Again, there is a slight hop presence in the background but not enough to leave more than a passing bitterness in the finish. The mouthfeel is medium bodied with strong carbonation that tickles the tongue with the sweetness that dominates the taste. This is one of the best scotch ales I've ever had and I can't thank Scott enough for giving me the opportunity to try it. Highly recommended!

I had this at the bar with lunch, and enjoyed it so much I took a growler home. Served in a tulip glass, the beer was a dark red/brown color with a medium head and a little bit of lacing. It had a sweet, chocolate, caramel aroma. Very strong malt presence in the taste. The sweet aroma translated into a dark fruit taste, chocolate was there, and even a hint of smoke. This is a full-bodied, filling beer.

Presentation: Bomber bottle bought at the Brewery earlier today. According to their website, this batch clocks in at a massive 9.5% (even heavier than the BA listing).
Appearance: Medium to dark brown in color with crimson red highlights throughout. Pours a half finger beige head with almost no retention whatsoever.
Aroma: Figs, molasses, and peat moss all in nice harmony. Good balance of sweet and earthy notes.
Taste: Caramel, raisans, and figs in the front. A touch of alcohol in there as well as this is nice and sweet upfront. The earthy flavors come in toward the end. Peat and herbal notes typical of a scotch ale. Clean finish. Very nice balance of earthy and sweet here. Complex and close to perfect for the style.
Mouthfeel: Medium to full bodied and creamy. Wish the carbonation was a bit more lively here though.
Drinkability: Really smooth for the ABV and finishes clean. Definitely a sipper, but one I could sip on all night.
Overall, I'm not usually a huge fan of this style, but I think Portsmouth nailed it with their interpretation here. Perfect balance, nice flavors, and the added benefit of high ABV. Highly recommended. One of my top fives favorites from them definitely.

Outstanding beer! One of the very best Scotch ales I have ever had. I had this on-tap in the brewpub in Portsmouth, and snagged a bottle as well for home consumption. Both the beer menu in the pub and the bottle describe this as 70 shilling rather than 80, but I note that that is an alias for the 80. Perhaps the name change is permanent? The beer pours a dark brown with ruby highlights, a light head, but great lacing. The smell is deep, rich, and malty, but not overly sweet with notes of wood, fig, date, and a bit of smoke. The taste is fantastic. I'd go so far as to see that it's the best U.S. brewed Scotch ale that I've tasted. Deep flavors of deeply carmelized treacle, smoke, and some dark fruit. So much richer than most butterscotch dominated Scotch ales. The mouthfeel is very smooth big and full without being sticky. The drinkability is good for such a big beer, but it is a little hot. Laying down a bottle of this should produce glorious results. This was the best we had at the brewpub that day, and after Kate and perhaps their double IPA, it might be their best offering. Highly recommended.

What a pleasant surprise this was! I could not get enough of this stuff - a nice deep red with a thin but solid white head and a good mellow, peaty malt aroma. This ale went down super-smooth, with a tasty well-balanced caramel\peat flavor with a perfectly clean finish, only the barest hint of bitterness. Honesty I have to rank this among my favorite Scotch Ales of all time. God, if this was in a cask...
"Please sir, may I have some more?"

Summary — The teams traded fumbles to start the second half. Jarred Herring fumbled the kick return, but the Hawkeyes gave it back two plays later when O'Meara could not hang on to the ball. UNI started at their own 33. Herring caught a pass for a 50-yard gain, and four plays later Hallgren kicked a 34-yard field goal to extend the Panthers' lead to 10. Iowa came out after the score fired up. It needed just six plays to drive 70 yards. Stanzi completed all four passes he attempted, and Robinson ran for 17 yards, including an 11-yard touchdown run. Iowa could not take advantage of good field position. Starting at the UNI 49, Iowa could gain only 18 yards. Murray missed a 48-yard field goal to tie the game.
Key play —On third-and-4 at the 31, McNutt dropped a pass that would given the Hawkeyes a first down inside the 20.
Score —Northern Iowa 13, Iowa 10.

There is One Tropical Cyclone in the Atlantic Basin.
Tropical Storm Dorian is located 410 miles WSW of the Cape Verde Islands and is centered at 14.3N & 29.9W. Max sustained winds are 50mph. Min central Pressure 1002mb (29.59") and the storm is moving WNW (285) at 21mph.
Watches/Warnings - NONE
After satellite and data analysis, newly formed T.S. (Tropical Storm) Dorian has continued to strengthen and become more organized throughout the morning. Via visible satellite imagery and through satellite derived wind speed readings, the NHC (National Hurricane Center in Miami, FL) has upgraded T.D. Four to T.S. Dorian for the midday update.
A deep layer, subtropical ridge is anchored over the Central and Eastern Atlantic Ocean. Our T.S. Will travel along the Southern edge of this ridge. As the storm gets caught in the Clockwise flow of the ridge, it will continue to gain some strength. Model guidance is coming to a relative consensus as Spaghetti Plots are showing a tight grouping as the storm travels across the Atlantic Ocean through the weekend. There is a little divergence toward the end of the forecast track, however this is expected so far out. Nevertheless, Dorian is expected to continue its WNW or Westward by this High Pressure Ridge for the next several days.
Right now, the inflow of the storm is bringing warm and unstable air into the storm and the projected environment of the storm during the next couple of days does not look to be detrimental to continued development. In fact Dorian will be moving into an area where vertical shear is nearly negligible. During the same time, the warm and moist inflow will counteract any cooler and more stable air moving in from the North.
However, during the next 24 to 48 hours, Dorian will be moving over cooler waters. These SSTs (Sea Surface Temps) are not quite in the lower to mid 80. In fact, they are slightly cooler and could induce some slight weakening. At the least, these cooler waters will slow down the progression of Dorian and limit intensification during the 2day time period.
After this period, Dorian will enter an environment that does show warmer SSTs. However, this same environment begins to introduce Westerly sheer into the equation. For this reason, the intensity forecast does not move much during he next several days, as this storm makes its way across the Atlantic Ocean.
Dorian is not expected to affect the LA, MS, AL, TX Gulf Coast, at this time.
Elsewhere, tropical development is not expected during the next 48 hours.
For a continued look into the tropics, follow the link below to the First Alert Hurricane Center.

Houston Texans running back Arian Foster took a step forward in his recovery from an aggravated hamstring injury as he was a limited participant in practice on Thursday. According to head coach Gary Kubiak:
"He was limited in practice today," Texans coach Gary Kubiak said on Thursday. "He went the whole practice. There's a progression here going on, and he's progressing very nicely. We'll see where he's at tomorrow.
"It is a day-to-day situation, but he took some limited reps today. He had a good workout yesterday. As I said, he can't go from zero to everything, so we're trying to keep this progression going."
Foster missed Wednesday's practice entirely before getting back on the field today. For now Ben Tate remains the number one running back with Foster and Steve Slaton also on the depth chart. Previous backup running back Derrick Ward is expected to miss Sunday's game with a high ankle sprain.
If Foster is unable to go on Sunday the Texans would be left with Tate and Slaton as their only healthy running backs. An inactive Foster would likely result in Chris Ogbonnaya being activated off the practice squad. The team has one more practice on Friday before announcing the final injury report. Foster will likely be listed as questionable on that report with odds still high that he is either inactive or in a very limited role on Sunday.

I'm wondering what the climbing opportunities are like near Pullman, Washington. I know Granite Point is about 30 minutes drive and I can certainly do the math for bigger things like Rainier and the cascades, but what is there to do within 3 hours drive? I'd love to know specific areas to look at so I can start gettin some beta. I know these spots might actually be in Oregon or Idaho as opposed to Washington. Also, where's the nearest multipitch cragging and what's the closest good trad climbing? Many thanks in advance.
There is plenty of stone in spokane (deep creek, mclellan rocks, etc.), I think riggins ID is within 3 hours, which is limestone sport climbing, spring mountain is about 3 and a half hours but has some trad climbing, Q'emlin park(sp) in post falls in idaho is close to spokane. That ought to get you started, though someone more familiar with the pullman area can probably give you better beta.
As far as I know granite point is all you have in Pullman. The granite up in the priest river area is the only close worthy trad. There are some pretty good sport crags in spokane. Three good limestone sport crags an hour north of spokane. Vantage is a few hours west of Pullman in the desert which is basalt trad and sport and an hour past that is leavenworth which is amazing bouldering and really good trad cragging and multipitch. Hope this helps
Thanks! Recommendations on guide books?
Check out the Wallowas (alpine/ice), South Fork of the Clearwater (multipitch granite, most are mix of bolts and gear). Bits and pieces of rock throughout north Idaho. Small granite crags on Moscow Mountain and just outside of Orofino. There is a good newish guidebook for the Selkirks in north Idaho. It'll keep you busy but if you're going there for school you'll be itching for more terrain after 4-5 years. At least I was.
There is tons of stuff in Washington too (e.g. Vantage) but you can find that easily enough on your own. Washingtonians like their guidebooks like Idahoans like their guns.
I went to undergradaute in Moscow and miss it a lot. A place no one has mentioned thats around the 3 hour range is Tieton Canyon. Around 800 sport and trad routes, and some really quality cracks. Also McCall is about 3.5 hours away and has a crazy amount of granite. There are multiple walls 1,000 feet tall, and tons of potential for FA's. The bouldering across from Granite Point is actually pretty good if you can get a boat. Be ready to drive and plan and you can do weekend trips to the central cascades! When I was there the climbing community was great and the UI and WSU climbing walls are both super fun. There is potential for some trad lines down by Asotin, ID also (about 40 minutes away). That being said the community in Moscow is great also, good beer, good coffee, and good music.
Don't let Jacob lie to you. It's like a great big jacks canyon up here, a bunch of chipped out glued limestone just like flagstaff:). Your psyche is always welcome here as long as you bring that az sunshine. Come do gorillas in the mist with me this summer. i think i got dave and hamlin and chang convinced for leavenworth bouldering. you should join us. love Ryan Crowe
I was just talking about gorillas in the mist at vino loco tonight! I've done the N. Ridge twice. I'm in. Lets do it! I'll be up there for most of July. Was planning on bouldering in Leavenworth and Squamish also, it'd be great to meet up with ya'll. I'll talk to Dave and Jeff.
The wife got me Marty Bland's book (I think about 20 bucks for the thin thing) for xmas and I'm going to check it out this summer. Looks like a lot of clip ups though. About 11 areas described. Steve
If you come up mcarizona shoot me a pm and I can show you around a bit. A lot of the stuff in the guidebook that says project are now done and some of the better lines. This is especially true for Marcus.
Hey. I just moved to Kellogg and am in desperate search for climbers. Don't know if you ice climb but If you do I would love to get out. If not we should defiantly go rock climbing come summer time. Let me know. I'm a pretty confident ice, and trad leader usulylly got free weekends, Indian Creek size trad rack, lots of screw, and 4WD Lets get out and climb.

Here's Tiger Woods modeling a space suit without any context whatsoever, so it's anyone's guess what he's doing. He looks kind of nervous and unhappy, so my best hypothesis is that all the other golfers voted to send him into space because he kicks too much ass and drills hot Swedish tail. And because they're all white racists.
Well, I guess Vijay Singh isn't white. But I could see him going along with it. He's kind of a dick that way.

BEREA, Ohio (AP) - Browns quarterback Brandon Weeden will probably not need surgery on his sprained right thumb and could return sooner than expected.
Coach Rob Chudzinski said after practice on Friday that it's "highly unlikely" that the second-year QB will need surgery. Weeden was injured in Sunday's loss at Baltimore. On Thursday, he visited a hand specialist, who confirmed the diagnosis of a sprain and did not find any further damage.
Chudzkinski said the team will re-evaluate Weeden next week and "play it by ear" as to when he plays again.
On Wednesday, Chudzinski named third-stringer Brian Hoyer the starter for Sunday in Minnesota, and said Weeden's job was not guaranteed when he returned.
Weeden seemed surprised to learn his job wasn't safe, and Chudzinski said he has spoken to the 29-year-old about the situation.

EDMONTON - "Just bring him over..."
With those four simple words — spoken to a panicky parent on the phone later at night or in the middle of his Thanksgiving dinner — pediatrician Dr. Gordon Selby set himself indelibly apart from the impersonal practices of an entire era. But then, everything about the way the man comported himself, in medicine and in the rest of his life, spoke of a warm and lively engagement with his world, and the people in it.
Selby, a 30-year veteran of Edmonton's Allin Clinic and the Royal Alexandra Hospital, where he was chief of pediatrics from 1984 to 1987, actually made house calls. He actually gave the parents of his young patients his home number; he received them at his house, or drove to the hospital at any hour to meet them. With his death in September, at the age of 88, the country has lost a distinctively humane and intuitive practitioner, with a multi-generational patient archive. No surprise that page after page of the Journal's online guest book is studded with glowing tributes to Selby's empathy, compassion and largesse of spirit.
As a kid, David Blue was a Selby patient. "Then as a father, my own son was one of his last patients before he retired," says Blue, who retains a vivid memory of the couch at the Selby home where sick kids sat to see their doctor. "A wonderful man, beyond reproach," he says. "He truly loved children, and believed all kids could succeed: a very positive outlook."
Selby's own kids — two daughters and two sons — would concur. Calgary-based Mary-Ellen calls him "one of the most optimistic people I've ever known." She explains that her father, originally from Depression-era Moose Jaw, the son of Scottish immigrants, had grown up too poor to afford medical school (at the University of Manitoba) had it not been for post-war education funding from his RCAF pilot experience.
"But he never talked about poverty or hardship, only about how hard he had to work and study," Mary-Ellen says. "He never looked back, always forward, no matter the difficult conditions." And the latter included the death from leukemia of the Selbys' first-born son, at seven.
He met his future wife in Winnipeg. Violet, according to family anecdote, was a nurse who got off the wrong bus at the wrong hospital for a job interview; a love story of 62 years ensued. After a stint as a small-town physician in Biggar, Sask., Selby did his post-grad pediatrics studies at the Henry Ford Children's Hospital in Detroit, under a childhood leukemia specialist. It didn't cross his mind to stay in the U.S. "I think he saw himself as a prairie guy," says Mary-Ellen.
With Selby practising in Edmonton, interruptions to Sunday dinners and a good night's sleep chez Selby soon began. Laura, a lawyer and legal editor in Vancouver, says: "A rare week went by when somebody didn't come by during the evening …
"Not until I was a parent myself did I realize it: My kids have never had that kind of medical care, that continuity. … His patients felt he knew them as people."
General practitioner Andy Keleman, one of Selby's (now-retired) colleagues at the Allin Clinic and a lifelong friend, remembers him as "an excellent clinician, very astute at diagnosing problems," but also someone who "addressed the person," not just the illness.
"He was an individual for the underdog, and that applied in everything: medicine, social interaction, sports," says Keleman. "Our days would start at the Alex doctors' coffee room, and all of a sudden there would be a controversy, a political discussion, a fantastic half-hour discourse to start the day. Gordon was always one of the instigators. … That kind of collegiality isn't seen anywhere anymore."
When Selby retired at 66, he applied himself with his typical zest and "unbridled enthusiasm" to everything he undertook.
He didn't just casually take up baking, he made "gorgeous fancy cakes," Kenelman recalls. "He wasn't too far from being an excellent carpenter. He renovated his house several times." The employees of Windsor Plywood received his home-baked Christmas cakes; they came to the funeral.
Selby volunteered at Alex Taylor School. He helped build a church; he cooked for the needy. "He was a doctor, but his friends weren't all doctors," Laura said. "It didn't matter what kind of wrapper you came in."
The old-fashioned word "character," in all its facets, doesn't go amiss, as his daughters say. "He had so much of it. … And he was one."
Selby is survived by his wife Violet; his children, Larry, Mary-Ellen, Robert and Laura and their spouses; and eight grandchildren.

After three long years, hundreds of interviews, court hearings, and speculation from a national audience, a jury convicted Drew Peterson of murdering his third wife, Kathleen Savio, at 2:45 p.m. Thursday. Peterson, 58, could face 60 years in jail.
READ MORE: Drew Peterson case timeline
Illinois has no death penalty, and Peterson now faces a maximum 60-year prison term when sentenced in Kathleen Savio's death on Nov. 26. Sentencing is scheduled for Nov. 27.
Peterson, 58, sat stoically looking straight ahead and did not react as the verdict was read. Several of his third wife's relatives gasped before hugging each other as they cried quietly in the courtroom.
PHOTOS: Drew Peterson trial
The jury deliberated for 13 ½ hours over the course of two days in the sixth week of trial. There were countless twists and turns and even one more early on Thursday where it appeared there might be a hung jury.
But, Thursday, the journey for justice for the Savio family was finally over. They released this handwritten statement:
"We would like to thank Judge Burmila, the bailiffs and the Will County Sheriff's Department for the duration of this trial. We have taken the responsibility bestowed on us by the court with a great deal of solemnity and diligence. After much deliberation, we have reached a decision we believe is just."
Defense attorneys maintained that Savio slipped and fell in her bathtub and drowned during her divorce from Peterson. But prosecutors used forensic evidence from a second autopsy to prove that Savio's injuries could not have come from an accidental fall.
READ MORE: Savio's mother to Peterson: 'I hope he rots in hell'
They also used hearsay testimony, in effect testimony from beyond the grave, from people who Savio and Stacy Peterson confided in to convince jurors Drew had the motive and opportunity to murder.
Kathleen Savio's body was found in a waterless bathtub in 2004.
The 40-year-old's death was originally ruled an accidental drowning, but after Peterson's much-younger fourth wife Stacy Peterson vanished in 2007, Savio's body was exhumed, her death investigation re-opened and her death determined to be a homicide.
He was charged with first-degree murder in 2009.
Stacy Peterson, 23, has never been found. Peterson is a suspect in her disappearance, but has not been charged.
Henry Savio, Kathy's father, never thought this day would come.
"Everyone gets payback for what they have done for others," Nick Savio, Kathleen Savio's brother said at the podium. "Although we cannot have Kathleen back, we hope she can now rest in peace."
"It's fantastic. Finally, someone heard Kathleen's cry!" Kathy's mother Marcia Savio exclaimed, thankful for this day. "Twelve people did the right thing."
"I don't see you laughing now," Nick said, when asked what he would say to Drew Peterson. "Go, with your clown defense team, who made fun of this whole trial, as you rot in jail."
Pam Bosco, spokesperson to Stacy Peterson's family, said this conviction gave a voice to the victims of abusers everywhere and that Stacy's case is next.
She said that this case is very personal and speaks to so many people, especially silent, scared abuse victims, and not "just business" like she said the defense wants to make it out to be.
Bosco said the jury's guilty verdict gives abuse victims a voice and it gives them power - the power to overcome their fears, because their abusers will be put away for what they did. Bosco said through hearsay statements, Stacy leant her voice to help convict Drew Peterson.
"They tried to keep her out, but she made a profound statement.," Bosco said. "He thought he would silence her, but he couldn't."
Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow called Peterson "a coward and a bully," and agreed that the conviction was a statement about violence against women. Glasgow plans to have his office look into Stacy's case and feels confident they can bring new charges against Peterson.
Bosco said Drew Peterson has to pay the price for Stacy next, implying that he killed her as well. Authorities presume Peterson's vanished fourth wife to be dead.
"He never thought he'd face reality," Bosco said. "That's why he did it twice."
Cassandra Cales, Stay Peterson's sister said she never doubted Drew Peterson's guilt, and said she felt her sister was at the courthouse with her Thursday, as Peterson the verdict was read.
"Wipe the smirk off your face," Cales said, when asked what she would say to Peterson now. "It's time to pay."
Defense attorneys called the verdict a great disappointment, the evidence against Peterson was garbage, they said. They vowed to appeal and said Peterson is taking the verdict in stride.
"He thanked us for our service. He was very happy with what we did. There was not one thing we would have done differently in this case," said Joel Brodsky, an attorney for Peterson.
Defense attorney Joel Brodsky called the jury's guilty verdict the "first step in a successful appeal."
Brodsky said there are appellate lawyers who can't wait to sink their teeth into this case, and with the lack of hard evidence, there's little chance it would hold up in court.
The trial was the first of its kind in Illinois history, with prosecutors building their case largely on secondhand hearsay thanks to a new law, dubbed "Drew's Law," tailored to Peterson's case. That hearsay, prosecutors had said, would let his third and fourth wives speak from their graves through family and friends to convict Peterson.
But throughout the trial, there was no legal precedence for actually hearing the hearsay evidence in court, so the judge, defense and prosecution had a time of it trying to sort through and made the correct decisions regarding hearsay.
Defense attorney Joe Lopez said the media and the public "hated Drew Peterson from day one," and made him into a favorite target. He said the fact that Illinois legislators made a special law just for his case showed they pinned him from the beginning.
The defense said the jurors were under a lot of pressure, and did the best they could with the evidence they had, especially with the pressure of such a high-profile case. But they will appeal.
Defense attorney Stave Greenberg called Drew Peterson a dream client - appreciative, attentive, engaged and cooperative. He said the guilty verdict was a huge disappointment, but Peterson will get a "top notch" appeal.
FOX Chicago legal contributor Karen Conti said the defense may file for a judgment notwithstanding verdict, which would ask the judge to rule above the jury's verdict. But these are infrequently successful in cases like this, because there's a lot of political pressure on judges to uphold juries' verdicts.
Prosecutor Glasgow said he thinks the murder conviction will withstand appeal, because her death was obviously not an accident, despite what the defense maintains.
"He was a thug, he would threaten people with a gun and a badge and nobody ever took him on, but we took him on now and he lost," Glasgow said.
On the second day of deliberation, the jury asked a strange question of the judge after lunch Thursday.
"Just to be clear judge what does unanimous mean?" the jury asked Judge Edward Burmila.
The judge sent a note back to the jury, offering up the word's common definition: Of one mind; in complete agreement; agreed.
"The word unanimous has it's common meaning," the note read, "and indicates the agreement of all in the matter at hand. Your verdict must be unanimous and signed by all."
Judge Stephen White, who presided over Peterson proceedings in 2010, speculated that the reason the jury asked this question was because they all might not have agreed on intent.
White said they could have disagreed on whether or not Drew Peterson intended to drown his wife, or perhaps threaten her with her head underwater. He said either way, Peterson's actions caused her death in those scenarios.
The jury may have been unsure about whether they had to unanimously agree on intent as well as action to convict with a proper verdict.
On the first day of deliberation, the jury made requests to see transcripts of testimony, phone records, handwritten letters from Kathleen Savio and photos of her body.
The asked to go over testimony from Stacy Peterson's old pastor Neil Schori and divorce attorney Harry Smith, who both made hearsay statements on her behalf when they took the stand.
The jury grappled with statements the two wives allegedly made to others implicating Peterson.
Stacy Peterson cried in a meeting with Schori not long before she vanished, he testified. She told Schori that Peterson got up from bed in the middle of the night and left the house around the time of Savio's death. At dawn, she saw him putting woman's clothes into a washing machine that weren't hers, Schori said.
"She was very scared," Schori told jurors.
Smith testified that Stacy Peterson called him three days before her disappearance seeking advice on divorcing Peterson.
Smith was called by the defense in a bid to dent Stacy Peterson's credibility. He told jurors she asked about whether she could extort her husband by threatening to tell police he killed Savio.
But Smith's testimony seemed to backfire on the defense as he repeatedly stressed to jurors that Stacy Peterson sincerely believed Drew Peterson had killed Savio.
Judge Jeanine Pirro said the hearsay statements were the tipping point in this case.
"They knew it was homicide," Pirro said. "But they just didn't know if he did it."
Judge White said the prosecution couldn't have won without the hearsay evidence. He said Harry Smith's testimony put Drew Peterson in the house the night Savio died.
Drew Peterson could still win release someday. His attorneys have said they will appeal all the way to the U.S. Supreme Court on grounds Illinois' hearsay law is unconstitutional.

'Rural services are suffering due to Government cutbacks'
12:00pm Thursday 27th February 2014 in Local News By Emma Robinson, Reporter
Vital rural services are being "crippled" because of Government funding cuts, says one district councillor.
Councillor Brian Beale, who represents Southminster, branded the cutbacks to Maldon District Council's budget as "a disgrace" at a full council meeting on Thursday.
The council will receive £2,898,000 from Government for the next financial year, £453,000 less than the last year.
It also aims to save £350,000 in the next 12 months.
Cllr Beale said at the meeting: "It is sad that the main financial challenge is that the council faces significant reduction in central government funding.
"At the moment, it is crippling our ability to finance vital services."

The coalition that helped craft Illinois school reform is in jeopardy tonight.
City and state teachers' unions, which originally agreed to the bill, said they have issues with it.
The Chicago Teachers Union wants lawmakers to remove anti-union bargaining restrictions from the current state senate version.
The restrictions would block the union from disputing reforms, like lengthening the school day and school year.

text: by Peter Wong, 2013-02-22What links a decommissioned American school bus, Indiana Jones, and traditional Balkan music? For Bay Area cinephiles, the answer is the 23rd edition of Cinequest. This year's edition of the San Jose film festival runs February 26 through March 10. On tap are 85 world, North American, and U.S. premieres of films from 48 countries. The familiar names gracing this year's festival include directors Sally Potter and Deepa Mehta, as well as such actors and subjects as Annette Bening, Mads Mikkelsen, Genevieve Bujold, and even George A.

Cardinals rookie QB Max Hall relieved starter Derek Anderson late in the first half of Arizona's 41-10 loss to the Chargers in Week Four and played solid, completing 8-of-14 passes for 82 yards, despite being sacked six times. Head coach Ken Whisenhunt has yet to name a starter for their Week Five game vs. the Saints.
Whisenhunt told Phoenix radio station KTAR that it would be "premature" to name a starting QB until he has watched film with his offensive players and staff. He likely will make an announcement later in the week.
The way we see it
Anderson has been so awful (19-of-40 passing, 186 yards, two TDs, three interceptions the past two weeks) that Whisenhunt has no choice but make a change. Expect Hall to be the starter when the Cards take the field vs. the defending champs on Sunday.

In the summer of 1993, Alan Nelson and I add five routes to this East facing crag to provide a shady place to climb. The five routes here were simul-drilled in about one day, so the guilt for any bad bolts can be shared by both of us. It is unfortunate that the crag sees very little action since the routes turned out to be fun and well protected. The rock had some friable surface in 1993 but this has cleaned up nicely. Numbering begins on the left with Free Enterprise (#1). Climbing runs from 5.10 to 5.12a with interesting moves through the roofs.
Getting There
Capitalist Crag is located on the East side of tunnel 3 and the easiest approach is to park as you would for the Wall of the '90s and hike the 300 yards along the road. The obvious wall with a roof in the middle is Upper Capitalist Crag.

Approach as for Upper Capitalist, but instead of going uphill to the crag, go down the broken hill to the southeast. Lunchmoney is located roughly hundred yards upstream from Upper Capitalist Crag. The chains are obvious from this point. There is a belay bolt on the ledge at the start of the climb. Climb up the steep face, pull through weakness in the roof to easy ledge system. The last three clips on the upper wall is the crux on a beautiful smooth flake. Rap 100 feet to ground. ...[more] Browse More Classics in CO

The Miami Heat and the Denver Nuggets will face off at the Pepsi Center on Friday night, in a matchup of the league's No. 1 and No. 2 teams in terms of points per game.
The Heat, averaging 106.4 points per outing, have had the benefit of playing three overtime games in their last four in that respect, though they probably would have liked to finish a little bit better. Mami has lost its last two games, both after regulation, and LeBron James, Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh have come under fire from the media once again. The trio went 1-for-10 during their loss to the Los Angeles Clippers on Wednesday night.
The Nuggets are coming off a 123-115 win over the New Jersey Nets on Wednesday, marking the fifth time this season they have scored at least 110 points. Denver has gone 7-4 so far this season, finding points from a host of different players. Six players players are averaging at least 10 points per game, led by 17.2 from Danilo Gallinari.

PEORIA, Ill -- Hospitals across the country and some here locally, are inundated with flu patients.
The Centers for Disease Control reports the number of patient visits for influenza-like illness is nearly at the peak of the 2007-2008 flu season which was considered moderately severe. It is still not as high as the 2009-2010 swine flu epidemic. However, health department officials say we still have not reached the peak of flu season.
At Methodist Medical Center in Peoria, Dr. John Miller said the Emergency Room is the busiest it has been in the past three to four years.
"We're even seeing hospitals sending patients in because they're so full from outlying communities too, so as you say, it's in epidemic proportions," said Dr. Miller.
He said hospital officials are asking anyone with flu-like symptoms to not visit patients, and are urging those who have not received a flu shot to do so immediately.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service wants to designate more than 500,000 acres of land in the West, including Nevada, as critical habitat for the yellow-billed cuckoo, which is being considered for endangered species designation.
Michael Robinson with the Center for Biological Diversity says the protections would give the birds a better chance of survival:
The top military official from the Kingdom of Tonga is in the Silver State marking his country's unique partnership with the Nevada National Guard.
Brigadier General Tau'aika 'Uta'atu and his small delegation gather by a hanger at the Reno-Stead Airport. They're there to observe Air National Guardsmen perform some military drills.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid isn't get his hopes up about Tesla, believes the Democrats will win all the major races in Nevada and won't get in the middle of the debate over the Margins Tax. Those were some of the topics addressed by Reid when he visited the studios of Reno Public Radio this week.
Here are some of the highlights:
Reid says he's not optimistic about getting more funding for Lake Tahoe restoration projects.
Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid says he's not getting his hopes up about Tesla Motors setting up its multi-billion dollar gigafactory in northern Nevada.
While he'd love to see the electric car marker end up here, Reid says the Silver State may have a tough time outcompeting places with deep pockets like Texas and California.
"This has been held out here kind of like a carrot on a stick for a long time."
At a recent conference at the University of Nevada, Reno, Governor Brian Sandoval spoke to nearly a hundred of the state's education leaders about improving early childhood education. Reno Public Radio's Michelle Bliss reports that one of the governor's top goals moving forward is to expand all-day kindergarten programs.
Right now, about two-thirds of elementary schools in Nevada have all-day kindergarten. Sandoval says he hopes to soon see it offered statewide.
In today's health watch segment from Beyond the Headlines, Richelle O'Driscoll talks about student service learning in health with Gerold Dermid-Gray, Coordinator of Community Relations and Field Studies for the School of Community Health Sciences at the University of Nevada, Reno.
A task force of community members in Northern Nevada has been studying the growing need for specialized healthcare workers in the region. Reno Public Radio's Michelle Bliss reports that the group is recommending more training programs at the college level that reduce common barriers for students, like the amount of time and money needed to complete their education.
The Healthcare Jobs of the Future Task Force includes representatives from local colleges and hospitals who are examining gaps in the training pipeline for healthcare professionals.
In the lead up to next week's Tahoe Summit, researchers are taking stock of how warmer temperatures are impacting the lake's iconic clear waters. Earlier this week, we looked at concerns about water quality near the shore. But, as it turns out, climate change may also affect oxygen levels in the lake.
Nevada is among the states leading the nation for its high percentage of applicants for the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals or "DACA" program, which provides temporary legal status for some undocumented immigrants. Reno Public Radio's Esther Ciammachilli has more.
Jeanne Batalova is with the Migration Policy Institute, the group that studied DACA two years after its launch. She says more than half of the 17-thousand people eligible in Nevada have applied for the program and most have been approved.
UNR and DRI researchers in Northern Nevada are launching a broad effort to better predict and prepare for severe drought and climate change.
While many places are feeling the impacts of climate change, Western Nevada and the Sierra make a good case study. For one, the trends in temperature change here track almost exactly with the global ones. Along with that, Maureen McCarthy, a UNR researcher, says our desert environment, fed by snowfall in the mountains, is one of the most vulnerable to climate change.

The Indianapolis Colts are widely expected to select Stanford's Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. That pick is expected to be followed by the Washington Redskins selecting Baylor's Robert Griffin III at No. 2 overall.
But just in case that doesn't happen, the Redskins are visiting with Luck. ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Luck is expected to leave Indianapolis on Tuesday, where he was visiting the Colts, to make a visit to the Redskins in Washington D.C.
Pre-draft visits to the team facility do not include workouts, so Luck will only be visiting with team personnel. RGIII was also reportedly in Washington D.C. this week meeting with the Redskins.
Even with this news, the Colts selecting Luck and the Redskins selecting RGIII seems like a formality.

Peg in action
Updated 1:14pm Friday 17th January 2014 in Sport
RUGBY: IT was third versus fourth as Pegasus travelled to their hosts Burnham on Saturday and came away with a 26-16 victory.
Pegasus were keen to rectify an early season three point home defeat to their rivals, with the additional incentive that a win would see them replace Burnham in third place in the table.
In very wet and heavy conditions, Pegasus sensed that they were in for an up front battle.
However, it was Pegasus who had the upper hand and claimed victory.

I have been growing pumpkins and gourds on a small scale for a few years. Waiting till I have all the bugs worked out before I bet the farm on them. I have noticed that some of the seeds are hard to come by or expensive for a small amount. I have been saveing seed and replanting for a few years. I have learned that I am getting a better yield each year. I think it is from 2 reasons. I am keeping the seeds from only the best fruit. second the plants are getting use to my climate and soil. My question to everyone is. If you are interested I could put a seed packet together of mixed gourds and pumpkins for people. Only charge a few dollars to cover shipping and the envelope. My kids and relatives love to pick the different colored gourds and different types of pumpkins. They are really neat to see, but alot of people don't grow them, because they either can't get the seed or it is to expensive. I will post a few pictures this week. If you are interest just reply, so I know how much seed to save.
These are bottle gourds, used to make bird houses, these are small ones that will be sold this fall, the big ones will stay and dry out, then become bird houses next summer
This is a crate of small gourds, mixed variety. I picked 4 crates of them
a few crates together
A few crates of small pumpkins
Last but not least, my helper was plumb wore out after a few hours in the pumpkin patch
