IN BRIEF: Hossa making up for departed scorers
BY ADAM L. JAHNS firstname.lastname@example.com
Related Stories
The Blackhawks lost a lot of goals when Dustin Byfuglien, Kris Versteeg, Andrew Ladd and John Madden were traded or let go during the offseason. That's 64 regular-season goals from last season off the books.
Marian Hossa, though, might make for up for two-thirds of that. Or more.
Hossa played only in 57 regular-season games last season, but his 24 goals were more than everyone but Patrick Kane, Patrick Sharp and Jonathan Toews. He's healthy now, and he has seven goals and 11 points in the Hawks' first seven games.
''The summer definitely helped; the shoulder is relaxed [and] the knee is relaxed,'' said Hossa, who had surgery on his right shoulder in the summer of 2009 and sprained the medial collateral ligament in his right knee in the Stanley Cup finals. ''I had a lot of time off to heal those things and make them stronger.''
Former general manager Dale Tallon didn't bring Hossa in merely as a replacement for Martin Havlat. He brought him in because he thought Hossa could help the Hawks reach the next level, which they did.
''He's been a great player for 800 games,'' Sharp said. ''People forget he's been around a long time doing this, putting up 45 goals a year. It's no surprise to us.''
Forty-five goals is definitely a possibility if Hossa stays healthy. He has scored 30 goals or more seven times in his career and 40 or more three times.
Hossa said this is the best he has felt physically since joining the Hawks, but he won't let an early hot streak define his season.
''It's only seven games, and I don't try to make a big deal out of it,'' Hossa said.
Canuck vs. Wild fan
Vancouver Canucks center Rick Rypien might not make the game tonight against the Hawks at the United Center.
Rypien grabbed a Minnesota Wild fan by the jersey during the second period of the Canucks' 6-2 loss Tuesday. Rypien and Wild forward Brad Staubitz, who fought in the first period, were about to square off before being separated by the linesmen in front of the Wild's bench.
As Rypien, who was assessed a double minor for roughing and a 10-minute misconduct, was making his way down the tunnel to the dressing room, he grabbed a Wild fan who was applauding at the railing. He quickly was pulled away by teammate Manny Malhotra, and the fan was removed from the area.
Special delivery
Hawks president John McDonough presented Tallon with his Stanley Cup ring Tuesday in Florida. Tallon, who turned 60 on Tuesday, became the general manager of the Florida Panthers in May.

Free Kidney Health Screening Offered at USA Medical Center
University of South Alabama Gulf Coast Regional Transplant Center and the National Kidney Foundation of Alabama will conduct a free health screening for people at increased risk for kidney disease on Tuesday, June 29 from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. at USA Medical Center, 2451 Fillingim Street. The screening is part of the National Kidney Foundation's Kidney Early Evaluation Program (KEEP), a free health-screening program designed to help identify and educate individuals at increased risk for developing kidney failure. Individuals at risk include those who either have diabetes and/or hypertension or have first-degree relatives (parents, grandparents or siblings) with hypertension, diabetes or chronic kidney failure.
Through early intervention, the program hopes to delay or prevent the development of chronic kidney disease. Diabetes and hypertension are the two leading causes of kidney failure.
"Many people don't realize their kidneys are failing until it is too late," said Dr. Velma Scantlebury, director of transplantation for the USA Gulf Coast Regional Transplant Center. "Early detection through screening and proper treatment can help them prevent kidney failure."
KEEP screening participants will have their weight and blood pressure checked by medical professionals from the USA Gulf Coast Regional Transplant Center. Blood and urine samples will be collected from those individuals who require further testing. USA physicians will be on-site to review results with participants. All screening participants receive educational material about preventing and treating kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes. Nutritional counseling will also be available.
"We know that if we start early with education, detection and if necessary, medical intervention, we can often postpone the onset of kidney disease or kidney failure and in some cases, even prevent it from ever developing," says Sandra Kelley, director, Outreach & Patient Services for the National Kidney Foundation of Alabama.
More than 300,000 Americans are currently being treated for chronic renal failure, a condition that requires dialysis or a kidney transplant for patient survival. The number of individuals affected by kidney failure has been increasing by 6 to 8 percent each year.
The USA Gulf Coast Regional Transplant Center and the National Kidney Foundation of Alabama urge individuals who may be at risk to attend the free screening to learn how improving or maintaining their health and getting proper medical attention may prevent or delay the onset of kidney disease.
KEEP is funded through an educational grant from Ortho Biotech. Additional sponsors include Bayer Diagnostics, Satellite Laboratory Services and OceanSpray. Registration will be limited to 100 participants. To register for the free screening, contact the USA Gulf Coast Regional Transplant Center at (251) 471-7391.

Dear Liz: All my friends have said I should get a reverse mortgage to be able to live more comfortably and still stay in my house. I would think our greedy banking system would give you only 50% of value and have a high interest rate that would chew up the remaining value. What is your advice on the merits of this option?
Answer: A reverse mortgage program that lets you tap too much of your home equity wouldn't be in business very long.
Reverse mortgages allow people 62 and older to borrow against the value of their homes without having to make payments on the debt. Instead, the amount they owe typically increases over time because interest is charged on the loan, and that adds up. Lenders get paid back when the owner moves out, sells the house or dies. If the house is worth less than the debt, the lender (or more often the insurer) suffers a loss.
Too-generous lending standards have already caused trouble for previous iterations of the Home Equity Conversion Mortgage, the federally insured option most often used by borrowers. Too many borrowers grabbed big lump sums up front, straining the program's reserves and leaving the borrowers with few options if they ran into hard times later. Defaults rose as borrowers failed to pay their property taxes and insurance premiums as required.
The Federal Housing Administration, which insures HECMs, has tightened the rules so that borrowers can access less of their equity upfront. Fees also have increased.
How much you can borrow using a HECM depends on your age, the home's value and current interest rates. Interest rates for lump-sum withdrawals are fixed, while those for lines of credit you can tap over time are variable.
You'll certainly get a better (or at least less expensive) deal if you borrow 60% or less of your home's value. The mortgage insurance premium for loans below that level is 0.5% of the home's appraised worth under the new federal government rules that go into effect Monday. Those borrowing more than 60% face a premium equal to 2.5% of the home's value. That's in addition to a 1.25% annual mortgage insurance premium.
There's no getting around the fact that these are expensive and complex loans. They're usually not a great choice for people who have other assets to tap. They also can prove a land mine for people who drain their home equity too early and wind up with no resources later in life. On the other hand, they can provide a more comfortable retirement for those who would otherwise be strapped for cash, particularly if the borrowers opt for a steady stream of monthly payments rather than the upfront lump sum.
If you are considering a reverse mortgage, you should talk to a fee-only financial planner who is familiar with the program and who can review your other alternatives.
Dear Liz: My husband and I are in the process of refinancing our mortgage. I just received my credit report in the mail, and my score was 724. The report indicated that a delinquency resulted in my less-than-stellar score. When I went to the credit bureau site to see where the problem was, I saw that I had a $34 charge on a Visa last year. I rarely use that card, so I did not realize that I had a balance. As a result, I had a delinquent balance for five months last year. I am sick about this, as I always pay my bills on time. To think that my credit score was affected by something so insignificant is really bumming me out. Is there anything I can do to fix this?
Answer: You can try, but creditors are often reluctant to delete true negative information from your credit files. That's why it's so important to monitor all of your credit accounts, and to consider signing up for automatic payments so that this doesn't happen again.
You should know that your mortgage lender won't look at just one credit score when evaluating your application. Typically, mortgage lenders would request FICO credit scores from each of the three bureaus for both you and your husband, then use the lower of the two middle scores to determine your rate. Even if 724 did turn out to be the lowest of the six scores, you should still get a decent rate, since that's considered a good score.
Dear Liz: I read your response with interest regarding the two sons in their 60s who were pressuring their parents into taking a reverse mortgage, according to a neighbor who wrote to you about the situation. You may be correct that the sons are trying to get an early inheritance, but you may also be very wrong. The sons may feel well off enough that they don't need an inheritance and that the money would be better spent by the parents to enjoy their remaining years.
As a reverse mortgage loan officer, I've had seniors who are not cash-poor and house-rich go on extended vacations, purchase income properties, buy long-term healthcare policies and fund a research and development project for an invention, to name a few uses. I even know someone who bought a Ferrari, which had been a lifelong desire.
Reverse mortgages are no longer considered to be a loan of last resort. They are, in fact, a source of tax-free cash used in a variety of ways such as preserving and prolonging taxable cash assets, and for seniors who don't need cash to live on, they may be used by their financial planners for arbitrage purposes.
By the way, I did like your reference to elder care attorneys. Many seniors think it's a waste of time or way too expensive, but I frequently refer my clients to them as well. They are almost always able to justify the expense in the savings they produce for their clients.
Answer: While there can be many reasonable uses of reverse mortgages, remember that the parents in this case are in their 90s. This may not be a time in their lives when they're longing for adventure travel, hot cars and investment real estate. It's certainly not a time in life when they could buy affordable long-term care policies.
There could, however, be another explanation, as the following reader outlines:
Dear Liz: I just read your column about the neighbor's concern that an elderly couple was being pressured by their sons to get a reverse mortgage. I am glad you mentioned the possibility of fraud by the sons. The elderly are vulnerable and need advocates.
The concerned writer needs to consider another option. Maybe the elderly couple is not doing as well financially as they portray. I was once a concerned neighbor to an elderly widow. As a ploy to remain independent, she was not always upfront about how well (or not well) she was doing. In her case it was health issues that she would hide or downplay (money was not an issue). Though all the neighbors cared and looked out for her, we did not have all the facts that the family had and the family was not aware of all we knew. The concerned neighbor should reach out to the sons. Hopefully the sons are looking out for their parents' best interests and the neighbor can assist the sons in that common goal.
Answer: Your neighborhood is to be commended for trying to help an elderly person in poor health. Intervening in a financial matter, however, could be fraught with peril and lead to an ugly confrontation with the sons. That's why directing the parents to an elder law attorney — one affiliated with the National Academy of Elder Law Attorneys at http://www.naela.org — probably would be a better course. The attorney could better protect the parents against potential financial abuse while assessing whether they might need more help than they're letting on.
Dear Liz: It has been almost one year since my domestic partner passed away, and our home of 43 years is fully paid for. I am ready to sell. The house is structurally in good shape but needs upgrades and a backyard redo. I have heard that painting both inside and out is a plus, but I'm concerned that any other improvements, such as flooring, would be my taste and not the buyer's. Is it a wise idea to indicate that any major improvements be deducted from escrow funds?
Answer: You're smart not to take on any major remodeling just before you sell, since few home improvements come anywhere close to paying for themselves. The fix-ups that typically do return more than they cost include painting, deep cleaning, trimming and freshening your landscaping, and de-cluttering. Consider storing half or more of your possessions. You'll have to pack them up anyway to move, and getting them out of the way now will make your house look bigger.
Talk to your real estate agent about the advisability of replacing your floors. If yours are quite worn, the investment may pay for itself. Otherwise, a cleaning may be enough. You don't have to offer to pay for the next owner's improvements. Just price the home appropriately to reflect the fact that it needs updates.
Dear Liz: I have an excellent credit rating, a steady job and an interest-only mortgage of $480,000 on a home now worth $400,000. I also owe $52,000 on an adjustable-rate home equity line of credit. In 2015, the interest-only portion of my loan ends and the principal payments will start, driving my payment to more than $4,000 a month. I have tried for the last four years to work with the lender to achieve some manner of stability, but to no avail. I have been told that my first loan has been sold to an outside investor. Is there any hope for me? I like my house.
Answer: If you haven't already done so, you should make an appointment with a housing counselor approved by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. You can find referrals at http://www.hud.gov, or you can call the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at (855) 411-CFPB (2372) to be connected to a HUD-approved housing counselor.
Housing counselors can evaluate your situation and offer guidance about any programs that might be available to help you refinance or modify this loan. You also should pick up a copy of attorney Stephen Elias' book, "The Foreclosure Survival Guide," so you can better understand this process and whether it's worth fighting to save your home.
HUD-approved housing counselors offer free or low-cost help. Beware of anyone who promises to help you for a fat fee, because it's probably a scam.
Dear Liz: I have a first mortgage with a current balance of $32,000 at 5.625% interest. This will be paid off in about 24 months, based on regular payments plus $200 a month extra I am paying on principal. I have a home equity line of credit with a balance of $200,000 at 3% interest on which I am paying interest only ($490) monthly with an occasional principal payment when I can afford it. Between the two mortgages I am making payments of about $1,950 per month.
I am about to retire and want to reduce my payments to a more manageable amount. I do not intend to move in the near future. Income is $145,000 annually now but will be reduced to about $76,000 annually upon retirement. Should I just hold on, pay off the first mortgage and then begin making interest plus principal payments on the credit line? Or should I refinance both mortgages now into a 30-year fixed mortgage?
Answer: Ideally, you would retire your mortgage debt before you retire from your job. That's not possible in your case, so you should focus on making sure this debt doesn't wreck your retirement.
A spike in interest rates could play havoc with your budget. Mortgage interest rates have been extremely low for some time, but that won't continue indefinitely. Inflation may pick up as the economy improves, which means that 3% variable rate on your home equity line of credit could march considerably higher.
Consider locking in today's low mortgage rates with a 30-year, fixed-rate mortgage. You could get an even lower rate on a 15-year mortgage, but the payment would be significantly higher — about $1,600 a month on a $232,000 mortgage, compared with about $1,000 a month for the 30-year loan. You may prefer the flexibility of the 30-year loan, which would still allow you to make extra principal payments to pay off the loan faster without locking you into a higher monthly payment.
Dear Liz: My soon-to-be ex wants to refinance our mortgage to pay for renovations so we can sell it for more money. He also wants to take out some cash to pay off unsecured loans. (I have $11,000 in credit card debt, and he has over $50,000.) The house recently appraised for $310,000 and we owe $158,000 on it. Is it wise to refinance in this circumstance?
Answer: A cash-out refinance would be a risky maneuver even if you intended to stay married. Renovations rarely boost a home sale price enough to cover their cost. Also, home equity that's used to pay off credit card bills is often wasted, since the borrower never fixes the problem that led to overspending in the first place and simply runs up more debt. Since he would be getting the bulk of the benefit by having more of his debt paid off, you also would need to adjust the rest of your property settlement.
Often, the best and easiest solution in a divorce is to simply sell the house. You certainly wouldn't want to remain on a mortgage with an ex after the divorce was final, if you could possibly avoid it. A good divorce attorney can give you advice about how to proceed from here.
Dear Liz: You recently answered a question about capital gains taxes that stemmed from two siblings selling their parents' home. The children had been added to the parents' deed, presumably before the parents' death. You mentioned that the capital gains tax would have been avoided if the parents had bequeathed the home rather than gifting it during their lifetimes. Presumably bequeathing the home at death would have necessitated probate and incurred inheritance taxes. Are these costs more than offset by the stepped-up tax basis received?
Answer: Your questions illustrate exactly why no parent should add a child (or anyone else) to a home deed without discussing the issue with an estate-planning attorney first. Too often, laypeople misunderstand what's involved in probate and make expensive mistakes trying to avoid it.
In some states, probate — the court process that typically follows death — is relatively swift and not very expensive. Trying to avoid it isn't necessarily cost effective. In other states, including California, the process potentially can take many months and eat up a good chunk of an estate. When that's the case, it can be prudent to take steps during life to sidestep probate at death.
There are often better ways to do so, however, than adding someone to a deed. A living trust, for example, can be a good way to avoid probate and preserve the tax benefits of bequeathing, rather than gifting, assets. Living trusts can vary in cost, but a lawyer can typically set one up for $2,000 or $3,000. If you compare that with the $25,000 or more the siblings will pay in capital gains on a relatively modest home sale, you can see that the living trust probably is a better deal.
Now let's turn to the issue of estate taxes. If the assets left by the deceased are substantial enough to incur estate taxes, they will do so whether or not the estate goes through probate. Avoiding probate, in other words, does not avoid estate taxes. Currently, only estates worth more than $5.12 million face federal estate taxes. That limit is scheduled to drop next year to $1 million, but will still affect relatively few estates.
Dear Liz: Your column on the tax issues that develop when parents deed their property to their children should help educate a lot of people. But sometimes this is done to reduce the parents' assets so they will be eligible for Medicaid after the expiration of the look-back period. In this case, paying the capital gains tax is appropriate, because they are asking the state to pay potentially very large senior care bills.
Answer: Some would question whether it's ever appropriate for seniors to deliberately impoverish themselves by transferring away assets in order to qualify for Medicaid, which pays long-term care expenses for the indigent. The "look back" period, in which states examine asset transfers before a Medicaid application, was established to discourage such maneuvers. Once again, it's smart to get a legal opinion before transferring big assets. An elder-law attorney could weigh in on the pros and cons of Medicaid planning.

The body of a man was discovered in Beehive Basin near Big Sky early Sunday morning. Sheriff Dave Schenk of the Madison County Sheriff's Office says several snowshoers discovered the body shortly before 9 a.m.
Schenk says they do not know how long the victim was deceased and the cause of death is also under investigation. The body was transported to the Missoula Crime Lab Sunday to determine those details. Officials expect to identify the victim by Sunday night but will likely not release his name until the cause of death is confirmed. In addition, Schenk said he cannot release the specific location the body was discovered.
Schenk says they are not ruling out the possibility the victim could be a reported missing person. On Thursday, the Gallatin County Sheriff's Office issued a missing persons alert for Richard Wilkins, 47. Schenk says they searched the vehicles at the trailhead of Beehive Basin and none matched the '03 silver Chevy Impala Wilkins is believed to be driving.
We will continue to update this story as more details become available.

Excitement Building for Portland Women's 3x3 Basketball Tournament
July 5, 2012 by Guest contributor
The following post comes from Shaley Howard, Director and Organizer of HRC's 3x3 Women's Basketball Tournament:
Excitement is building for HRC's fourth annual Women's 3x3 Basketball Tournament in Portland, Ore., on Saturday, July 28!
This unique event is the largest 3x3 "women's only" basketball tournaments in the state. Last year there were 26 teams of women, and this year we're hoping to surpass that and top 32. The tournament is also all-inclusive. Women of all ages and skill levels participate, from 18 to 60+.
To add to the excitement this year, Oregon Secretary of State Kate Brown will be in attendance, as well as Sherri Murrell, the Head Coach for Women's Basketball at PSU and the only openly lesbian coach in the NCAA. Secretary Brown will be awarding our first-ever "Spirit Award" to the team with the most creative name, uniform and overall enthusiasm. Coach Murrell will emcee parts of the tournament along with broadcaster and motivational speaker Ann Schatz.
Nike once again has graciously come on board as our presenting sponsor along with dozens of other local businesses and supporters. And if that isn't enough, Portland hottest DJ will also be spinning all day long. It's a day of fun in the sun that many look forward to all year, and a great way to support HRC!

Coach's trust in Marquis Teague looks to have eroded
BY JOE COWLEY Staff Reporter November 30, 2013 11:46PM

Updated: January 2, 2014 6:45AM
CLEVELAND — Trust earns playing time on coach Tom Thibodeau's court.
Marquis Teague and Erik Murphy explained that black-and-white concept the last few weeks. Good play earns trust — trust earns playing time from their coach.
It became obvious Saturday that Teague had once again taken a step back in that department.
After Derrick Rose went down with a season-ending injury last week, Teague got a good amount of minutes behind new starting point guard Kirk Hinrich for the Bulls.
Against the Cleveland Cavaliers, however, Thibodeau first turned to veteran Mike James off the bench and never called Teague's number.
"[Teague has] to continue to work,'' Thibodeau said. "You never have it all figured out. There's been some ups and downs.''
Thibodeau added that point-guard minutes will be handed out based on "matchups … see how it unfolds.''
Asked whether Teague had showed improvement in running the team, he said, "Yeah, we're seeing some of that, but it's not just one guy, it's the entire group.''
Either way, in his second season, Teague could be moved in a package if the Bulls start becoming sellers. Four teams were interested in the point guard' at the end of training camp, especially after Teague shined in the Summer League. The problem is that Hinrich is a free agent after this season, and the organization hoped that Teague would step up.
Butler update
Jimmy Butler [turf toe] was back with the team on the end of the six-game road trip, going through his regular rehab before the game with the Cavaliers. But just because he's well enough to drag a suitcase with him doesn't mean he's any closer to returning to the starting lineup.
"Getting the swelling completely out, that's the first part,'' Thibodeau said. "Then he has to be able to practice. Once he can do that where there aren't any repercussions the next day, we'll go from there. So he's really two steps away.''
All hype
At the start of the regular season, there was a lot of hype surrounding what was supposed to be an improved Eastern Conference Central Division. That's all it's been so far — hype.
The Bucks have been a disaster. The Pistons and Cavaliers have been huge underachievers. Don't tell that to Thibodeau, however, who considered the Cavs to be a team set to turn it around.
"They've got a new system and it takes a little bit of time,'' he said.

Our greatest success stories yet...
Meet Eric Orr....
Eric Orr was an exceptional student and outstanding athlete at Stratford High School. By his sophomore year, he was offered numerous scholarships to major Universities and Colleges world-wide. Fast-forwarding to his senior year, he had a misunderstanding with a teacher and misappropriated conduct in behavior, which led to a suspension then quitting school with only 3 months to complete his high school education. The principle reached out to Eric encouraging him not to give up. He then proceeded to enter back into school and received his diploma (on-time) May 2005.
Fall 2005, Eric was a member of a local university basketball team where he was on track to receive All-Freshman…..everything! This potentially included All-Conference, Top Ten leading scorer in the Nation, MVP, and more. Unfortunately, he led himself to being kicked off the team for disciplinary reasons. Eric felt hopelessness and despair. Soon after, he dropped out of school, finding himself in even more trouble and decided to discover life the hard way.
After being in the program for less than a year, we saw a complete 360 in Eric. He is certainly not the kid I knew over 5 years ago, yet a young man on the road to his destiny. I consistently kept watch over Eric during his basketball games to view any potential rage or negative attitude. Blessfully, he has not had ANY outbursts towards the officials or any disrespect with the coaches. Additionally, most of his teammates did not contain near his talent level, though he showed much compassion, encouragement, and teamwork towards each of them every night. In my close observations and talks with Eric, life on the other side has certainly humbled him. He has always understood his potential. The difference now is he doesn't take anything for granted. He certainly deserves a second chance! We've already witnessed what can happen when a young man doesn't have a positive environment and plausible options. Losing the opportunity to be a student-athlete again is far too much of a risk versus the opposing. I'm proud to announce that he is currently attending Trevecca Nazarene University!
Thank you Thaddeus Young (Phili 76'ers) for donating the very shoes in his hands! God will continue to bless you!
Many young men, just like Eric Orr are born into negative environments daily; only God can judge them. As adults, we must be careful in how we respond to all situations as our Youth look up to us. After all, someone helped us along the way as it takes a village to raise a child.

Last year during Halloween I discovered Haunted House at the Vortex Theatre. And I have been looking forward to Ocober 2010 ever since.
So imagine my excitement when an invite to A Midsummer Nightmare 2010 appeared in my in-box. And of course, it was no typical invite: no location, no time, nothing. All I needed to know was I was invited, and further info would be coming. So I waited and wondered, and relived last year's walk-thru. At NYC Haunted House each participant must walk thru alone. Can I tell you how much I love not having to dodge screaming teenagers? When a group of them gets going a middle-aged thrill seeker like myself feels like she's in a mosh pit.
After a series of messages the date, time and place were revealed to me. Actually the place place was not revealed to me in the e-mails – just where my journey would begin.
The original plan was to arrive early, have a cool drink because it was hot as blazes out, and then stroll leisurely to the appointed place. At the cafe I discovered my glasses were not in my bag – 600 bucks and practically new. Cut to me racing toward the coffeebar I was at earlier – not there. A call to the restaurant where I had lunch – nothing. Finally I called home. They were on the table. Insert huge sigh of relief. Check the time – 11 minutes to get there!
As I hurried back I thought to myself, "Just like in the movies. There's always some situation beforehand; usually a flat tire, but I don't drive so…"
I arrived on time.
The experience lasted 35 minutes, and I want to do it again.
One minute I was sure I was dead – the next I was in the light.
And totally connected to my inner freak.
No talking. No questions. Just obey the commands.
You might or might not see them as they come at you in the darkness.
But you'll definitely hear them.
And feel them – they are going to touch you – a lot.
Whatever you do – don't scream.
Because if you scream…

Playing Tetris soon after a traumatic event may help lessen the symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). That's right, we're talking about Tetris, that old video game with the falling blocks.
PTSD is characterized by highly intrusive, sometimes debilitating flashbacks. If it were possible to make traumatic experiences less memorable, doing so might decrease the incidence of PTSD.
That's what a recent study seems to have done. Participants viewed a traumatic film. Either 30 minutes or four hours later, participants were divided into three groups.
- Do nothing
- Play Pub Quiz
- Play Tetris
"Flashbacks" to the traumatic film were recorded throughout the next week. Remarkably, playing Tetris significantly reduced flashbacks. And it wasn't just playing a game that mattered; playing Pub Quiz (another computer game) did not decrease flashbacks in one experiment, and it significantly increased flashbacks in another experiment.
It's not clear exactly why Tetris was effective. It appears that playing Tetris, which is a visuo-spatial task, interfered with the formation of visuo-spatial memories. For obvious reasons, a verbal game did not have the same interfering effect.

Duquesne Accelerated BSN Program...
- 0Feb 4, '13 by amnesiac678Hello! I just got accepted to Duquesne's accelerated BSN program for this fall (2013). I am wondering if anyone is currently in or has graduated from their accelerated program and could provide me with their general impressions of it?
I know there are a lot of well-respected schools that still have sub par accelerated programs because they are quickly put together and poorly organized... I really can't afford to commit to a nursing school that I don't have any direct and current information about. That's why I'm hoping some current or past students could help me out!!
Any info would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks!
- 0Feb 5, '13 by atanasI haven't actually gone to Duquesne, but I work with a few of the graduates of the ABSN program, and they highly recommended it and said they would go through it again. They all seem pretty competent and well-prepared as nurses, as are the graduates of the ordinary undergraduate program I know. I also met one of the faculty, and he seemed awfully pleasant. There's got to be something negative to be said about it, but I haven't heard it.
- 0Mar 9, '13 by yrmajesty3Hello Oye,
My daughter and I attended the open house and we were quite impressed. You may be interested to know that the new Dean is from Drexel and is wonderful ( per a friend who is a Drexel nursing Professor). The one negative thing that might be said is that the NCLX passing rate is low...high 80's for the past few years. We've been assured that this will be immediately remedied with the new Dean onboard. Because of that, my dear daughter felt confident in accepting the offer to attend. We also live 5 hours away in Eastern PA, but it was an easy& pleasant if long drive.
- 0Jan 4 by ND_IrishOye, did you end up picking Duquesne? I was accepted but didn't send in the $500 deposit because I'm waiting to hear back from a few other schools (so I got bumped to the wait list). I was wondering what you thought so far about the program, in terms of student support and clinical placements. Thanks!

Comments about LORAC Pro Cream Eye Liner, Black, .08 oz.:
The opening in the pot is so small that it's awkward to dip the brush without pulling out more product than necessary. It just ends up on the Kleenex. The provided brush is a complete waste. I tried it twice and both times noticed that my eyes became bloodshot immediately after application and felt irritated.
Bottom Line No, I would not recommend this to a friend

Malaysian transgender singer Hafiz Jeffri was fined by the Islamic Syariah high court for 'dressing in women's clothing and having feminine mannerisms'.
The singer, also known as Kajol, 'repented' and had a prison sentence reduced to a 1,000 Malaysian Ringgit ($313, €250), government-owned newspaper The Star reported.
In Malaysia Syariah Courts have jurisdiction over Muslims only and can pass sentences of up to three years in prison, fine up to 5,000 ($1,564, €1,251) Malaysian Ringgit and up to six strokes of the cane.
In February, Gay Star News reported on a series of violent attacks on transgender women in Malaysia that were being ignored by the police.

Holocaust Memorial Day 2014
As One Human Family (Bani Adam), we remember the victims of genocide, who lost their lives at the hands of people who allowed their souls to be consumed with ignorance, hatred and violence.
"…if anyone slays a human being – unless it be [in punishment] for murder or for spreading corruption on earth – it shall be as though he had slain all mankind; whereas, if anyone saves a life, it shall be as though he had saved the lives of all mankind…"
~ Holy Qur'an 5:32 (M. Asad)
We pray our Human Family learns from these horrific mistakes, never again to repeat their like on any of our sisters and brothers again, now or in the future.

Faith Forum: Love Not Hate
Shaykh Paul Salahuddin Armstrong and Shaykh Muhammad Amin-Evans on Faith Forum, Hidayat TV discussing 'Love not Hate' with Dr Talib Warsi (24.09.2013).
Come to UK for Iftar
By Dr Talib Warsi
Director of Intrafaith Affairs, AOBM
It is now year 2013, in the Islamic Calendar 1434 AH. Over 1400 years ago a small group of followers of the Prophet of Islam, Mohammed Mustafa (PBUH), sat down to break their day's fast in the holy month of Ramadan.
During the greater part his life, the great Prophet of Islam, the Messenger of God was harassed, condemned and even ridiculed by his fellow Arabs. But now we can say, 'O Mohammed (PBUH), the message from God that you brought to the us has indeed reached the entire world,' Labbaik (لبيك), congratulations to you. O Prophet of Allah, we now try our best to practice what you preached. Some of us reside far away from the holy cities of Mecca and Medina, in a different corners of the world, we live in England, UK is our home. A different continent, different time zone, different climate, different food and even different attire. But we follow your teachings, practice your faith Islam, as best as we can. Fortunately, O Prophet, we are able to do all this with great ease, comfort and freedom here in UK. This is perhaps beyond our belief and expectations when we compare our lives with the lives of fellow Muslims in other parts of the world. How wonderful it is to be living in this country.

I couldn't find a picture of one online, but I'll try to snap one when I get home tonight.Josephhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-6702508936667404812.post-57633908518206943892009-09-11T08:27:23.611-04:002009-09-11T08:27:23.611-04:00I used a pringles can, now I found a big cloth bag...I used a pringles can, now I found a big cloth bag that holds most of my dice.

Absolutely. No reason for kids to be on this site. They're too pure and we're too perverse. To Any Guy's point, if it's not a boner killer for you, you should probably go kill yourself right now.

Dude, if that's what you see in that picture you should go get your vagina waxed and watch the Oprah finale.

We arrived safely home from our short trip out of town. The flight to our destination was pretty uneventful (lots of "Awesome!" and "Cool!" from the boys during take-off and landing). The flight back home today was a little more difficult, with Dylan and Lauryn both crying periodically for the hour we were in the air. Did I mention our flight happened during nap time? The kids had a fun time visiting a new city, but it was also a long weekend of not sleeping in their own beds, eating out for every meal, and generally being annoyed with each other in the hotel room and mid-size car we rented. Our mini-van might not be stylish, but it's wonderful at creating some distance between the kids! Much less "Stop looking at me!", and "He's touching me!" when they are spread out over two seats in the van instead of crammed in the back of a sedan. Also much less kicking of the back of Daddy's seat, which makes the ride more tolerable for everyone!
I'm glad to be home BUT.....me and the kids leave tomorrow to embark on a 6 hour drive to Oklahoma to visit family! So after one night in our own beds, we'll be off yet again. It's not that I'm a glutton for punishment. Ryan is on his Spring Break from preschool, so it seems a very good time to take a mid-week trip. Plus, the kids and I have been missing the grandparents and great-grandparents and a visit is overdue.
While I was at work this afternoon, my dear, delightful husband washed the laundry from our trip this weekend, so I am off to pack (re-pack). We'll be back in Dallas on Friday!
I was going to ask about the laundry from the trip and going on another trip so soon! How nice of your husband!
Can relate to the kids in the car. Have they said, "He's breathing my air!" yet?
Two things...
1. Way to go little pastor with the laurndry...You rock dude!!!
2. Hearing your stories with the kids is always refreshing...Our kids are a little bit older, so when you mention the mini van thing, I can see the picture VERY VERY CLEARLY....
travel safe...
