Who is eligible for the Exceptional Family Member Program? | ||
An official family member with an exceptional medical or special education need, registered in DEERS, who resides with the active duty service member sponsor. This can include a spouse, child or dependent adult. It is mandatory (by MCO 1754.4B) that the Marine enroll a family member who has special medical or educational needs. Contact your EFMP office if you are unsure if you should enroll a family member. | ||
What are EFMP eligibility requirements? | ||
REF: MCO 1754.4B It is DoD policy that family members who meet any of the following criteria will be enrolled in the EFMP: |
How do you enroll a family member in the EFMP? | ||
By submitting a DD Form 2792. Also, a DD Form 2792-1 must be completed for children receiving special education services through an Individualized Family Service Plan (IFSP) or an Individualized Education Plan (IEP). If you have any questions about the enrollment process please contact your EFMP office. |
How do I disenroll my family member? | |
By updating and submitting a DD 2792 and a DD 2792-1 (if required). HQ USMC will evaluate these documents and either update your status or disenroll your family member if EFMP services are deemed no longer necessary. | |
Will my family member automatically be disenrolled if I fail to update their enrollment by the every-3-year due date? | |
No, your family member will remain enrolled in the program. The only way to disenroll is by resubmitting the enrollment forms and having them evaluated for disenrollment. |
When should I update my family member's enrollment? | |
When any of these conditions occur: Before the 3-year enrollment update deadline Whenever the family member's condition worsens or improves, effecting their needs When the family member's status changes, through age, custody, or any instance in which they are no longer an official family member in DEERS |
Assignment Coordination
What does EFMP Assignment Coordination mean? | |
The Exceptional Family Member Program is a mandatory enrollment program for sponsors with qualifying family members. Assigning Marine sponsors to locations that can support the needs of their family member ensures that the sponsor's performance of duty is not inordinately affected by the demands of caring for their Exceptional Family Member. This allows the sponsor to concentrate on performing his/her duties and contributes to the operational readiness of the Marine Corps. This is especially critical in overseas assignments where the provision of services may be limited. Successful execution of the EFMP improves the quality of life for Marine Corps families with special needs. If you have any questions or need assistance with the Henderson Hall EFMP Enrollment process, please contact the Henderson Hall EFMP Office. |
How does the EFMP provide relocation assistance? |
Once you receive orders, please contact the Henderson Hall EFMP office for assistance. The Henderson Hall EFMP office will coordinate with the gaining/losing EFMP office to assist you in connecting services between duty stations. This "warm hand-off" (WHO) process ensures a smooth and seamless Permanent Change of Station (PCS) transition. Prior to your PCS from Henderson Hall, please complete the EFMP Family Transition Checklist (relocation resources are included on this link) and then forward the information to your Henderson Hall EFMP Family Case Worker. As part of the EFMP WHO process and in order to ensure the continuum of care for your EFM, your FCW will review your completed checklist and then forward it to the gaining installation and to your new Family Case Worker so that he/she can assist you in finding the appropriate resources and support services at your new duty station. |
What is Continuation on Location? |
Continuation on Location (CoL) refers to the stabilization of the family and does not require the Marine to remain in a geographic location. CoL allows the family to remain in the location of the last fully funded PCS assignment. In all cases, efforts will be made to maintain the family unit. CoL decisions are made to facilitate the continuum of care for enrolled families. The below chart has been provided by Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps as a guide for requesting consideration for Continuation on Location. Please click here to view the chart |
Family Support
What sorts of family support services does the EFMP provide? |
The EFMP provides each EFM a Family Case Worker (FCW). This case worker can help link the family with local services and supports, connect the family with local, state and national resources and networks, and assist in advocating in the schools. The program also provides educational resources in their lending library, and topical workshops, support groups and events. The EFMP also provides respite care reimbursement through the Respite Care Reimbursement Program. | |
I don't require any family support. Can I opt out? |
Yes, you can opt out of any support or communication other than update reminders and assignment coordination by completing and submitting a Declination Form. Contact your Family Case Worker to obtain a Declination Form. |
Respite Care Reimbursement Program
What is the process for determining eligibility for the Respite Care Reimbursement Program? |
The process involves the following: (1) Complete and submit these forms: Verification of Eligibility to Participate in the EFMP Respite Care Reimbursement Program, Statement of Understanding, Hold Harmless Agreement for each respite care provider, and ACH Application Form (Direct Deposit form); (2) Submit provider documentation for approval (contact HH EFMP Program Manager at 703-693-6368 to discuss provider qualifications); (3) Receive approval for provider credentials by HH EFMP Program Manager. (4) Receive notification of eligibility (5) Begin respite care. | |
Who is eligible for the program? |
Children 18 years old or younger with respite care LoN 3 |
How do I know my EFM's LoN? |
If you would like to know your EFMs LoN, please contact your Family Case Worker. |
How is LoN determined? |
LoN is determined by HQ EFMP Medical Screeners based on review of the DD2792, DD2792-1, IEP/IFSP and other relevant documents submitted by the sponsor at the time of enrollment or update. They use a standardized quantitative rubric to assess the special needs of the EFM and identify the minimum level of provider skills required to maintain the health and safety of the EFM. LoN ranges from 1 to 4. EFM situations may change and can require a change in identified LoN. An enrollment update, or additional information, may be required to approve a change in respite care LoN. |
What if I disagree with my EFMs current LoN? |
Please contact your Family Case Worker to request a formal review of your EFM's LoN. There is a formalized process which the installation EFMP will engage. You will be notified of the final decision by your installation Family Case Worker. |
How is my respite rate determined? |
The reimbursement rate is based on the installations Child Development Center (CDC) hourly drop-in rate. Then a formula is used that takes into consideration the number of EFMs and their LoN. When you apply for the Respite Care Reimbursement Program, your installation EFMP office will send you an email, which will identify if you are eligible for the respite care program, and if so, what your respite care reimbursement rate will be. |
If I am not eligible for EFMP respite care, are there other resources available to me? |
There may be other resources available to you in your community. Please contact your EFMP Family Case Worker to learn about services and programs in your community for which you may be eligible. |
What is the difference between category and LoN? |
USMC EFMP does not use categories to make decisions. Prior to 2009, categories were assigned during enrollment and were used to make determinations about where EFMP enrolled Marines could be stationed. Beginning in 2009, USMC EFMP initiated the LoN to apply to respite care purposes only. Categories are used at HQMC EFMP for administrative purposes only and will not impact respite care, assignments, or enrollment/endorsement decisions. |
How many hours of respite care per month will the program subsidize? |
20 hours per family, per month |
If we do not use all 20 hours of respite care one month, can they be rolled over to another month? |
No, the 20 hours per month allotted to each family does not accrue. |
If we do not use all 20 hours of respite care one month, can they be transferred to another family? |
No, respite care hours cannot be transferred. |
Can I use respite care hours for childcare while working or attending school? | |
No, respite care cannot be used for childcare while sponsor/spouse are working or attending school. Respite care may not be used for pre-school programs or therapy sessions for the exceptional family member. |

After meeting with three representative of the US Department of Education on Wednesday (a meeting that Secretary of Education Arne Duncan attended for 10 minutes), leaders of the four-day Washington convergence of teachers (Save Our Schools march and Call to Action) -- a grass-roots movement that received late and small support from the major teachers unions -- have rejected a further invitation to meet with Administration officials before tomorrow's march.
At left is Tracey Douglas, an teacher at Granite Hills Elementary School in Riverside County, and a march attendee. Press-Enterprise photo.
Reporting in the Washington Post's blog, "The Answer Sheet," Valerie Strauss writes:
Organizers of Saturday's Save Our Schools March in Washington, D.C., have declined an invitation to meet today at the White House with education advisers to President Obama, saying they would instead be available after the march.
The march, to protest the Obama administration's corporate-driven education-reform policies, has been in the planning stages for about a year. Some of its organizers have tried for months to get the attention of the White House through letters and blogposts. Suddenly, a few days before the march itself, an invitation was issued for a meeting today.
The executive committee of the march met late Thursday and decided that march organizers would not go to the White House today (some of them are already committed to a conference at American University) but would talk with any administration officials at the protest march if any attend, and would be available for a meeting after the event is over.
The SOS march is part of a four-day event involving teachers from around the country who are in Washington to protest test-based accountability.

text: ONE MONTH LOWEST PRICE GUARANTEE: If you see the same merchandise advertised by any California store for less than the delivered price you paid at Copenhagen, we will refund the difference. Merchandise must be the same manufacturer, quality, color/finish/pattern, condition (e.g. new or floor sample, assembled & deluxed or unassembled), and in stock with delivery included. Not Included: manufacturer-supported special pricing, "free w/ purchase" promotions, floor samples, clearance, one-of-a-kind, imperfect and discontinued items. Just bring in your sales order and a copy of the ad within one month of purchase! PERSONAL SATISFACTION GUARANTEE: If for any reason you are not completely satisfied with any item you purchased from Copenhagen, you may return it for a credit or full refund. Just return it in new condition within seven days from date of receiving item. The only exceptions are bedding (which cannot be returned under state law), special orders, other specifically excluded items, delivery charges, and labor/materials for custom services. LIMITED WARRANTY: Copenhagen guarantees all furniture against defects in construction for a period of one year. When a structural defect is brought to our attention, we will repair or replace it at our option at no charge to the customer for parts and labor. There will be a charge for transportation. General Terms – For service under this warranty, please contact your sales associate. This warranty gives you specific legal rights and you may have other rights which vary from state to state. General Exclusions – This warranty does not apply to merchandise sold "as is," defects caused by customer abuse or negligence, fabric wear-ability and color-fastness. Mattresses are covered by a separate limited warranty. The liability of seller for any defect in goods shall be limited to repairing or replacing the goods, whichever seller shall elect. Seller's option to repair or replace is hereby expressly agreed to be buyer's sole remedy. Under no circumstances shall seller be liable for incidental or consequential damages for the breach of warranty or for any other reason. SPECIAL ORDERS: We require a non-refundable 33% deposit for such orders. When you place a special order, we will give you an estimated delivery date. We will notify you as soon as the item arrives; usually this is slightly earlier than estimated. If we do not have the item by the designated date, we will advise you and offer you an immediate 100% refund. Because most of the goods we sell are made from natural products, there will be a difference in grain and color or dye lot between display samples and a new item. Leather will have random, natural markings. All orders are subject to availability. LAY-AWAY: We will gladly hold merchandise without a charge for up to six months from purchase date with a minimum deposit of 25% plus monthly payments equal to 15% of the total invoice amount. Beyond six months, there will be a storage charge of 2% ($10 min) per month. All orders held and cancelled after one month from date of purchase are subject to a 10% ($10 min) handling charge. WOOD: Most of our items are constructed of finely crafted veneers, other wood products and selected solid hardwoods. Natural light affects natural wood. Accordingly, newly unpacked pieces will not look identical to display samples. Color and grain variations are natural characteristics of fine cabinet woods which mark the unique individuality of each piece. For this reason we cannot assure the exact matching of related pieces. ENTERTAINMENT CENTERS AND OTHER LARGE ITEMS: Large items often require special planning, customization and installation. Before delivery, please decide precisely where you want large items positioned, since they cannot be moved easily. If you ever need to move this or any other furniture, be sure you have enough help to lift it: never pull or push it! Be sure all wires and cords are in place, ready for our installers to run into the unit, if desired. We strongly suggest you use electrical and audio/video extension cords that can be easily detached to remove, service, and replace your components. Our insurance does not allow us to handle your TV, video, audio or computer equipment. TEMPORARY COMPRESSION OF UPHOLSTERED FURNITURE: Upholstered items almost always arrive with some temporary compression of the soft padding. This means slightly squashed cushions, partially indented foam, and other markings that are the result of months-long shipping. All of the visible compression will self-correct in time. The padding simply needs time to decompress. There is often some visible compression for several months after upholstered furniture has been unpacked. While some customers are not pleased with this, visible compressions are not defects. They are temporary and will disappear over time. UNASSEMBLED FURNITURE: To avoid potential problems sometimes associated with unassembled furniture, we suggest you buy only assembled furniture. If you elect to buy unassembled furniture, you are advised to inspect all pieces of unassembled furniture prior to assembly, as we do not inspect cartoned furniture, nor do we deliver, pick up or exchange it gratis. There is a minimum 15% restocking charge if returned. DELIVERY SERVICE: Contract drivers can deliver your purchase within our regular delivery area for a nominal charge. We are able to offer a low rate because they route their trucks the most direct and economical way. As a result, no request for morning, afternoon, or other special delivery hours can be accepted without incurring additional charges. If you require delivery at a specific time of day and/or on a specific day, such arrangements must be made at the time your order is placed. Please advise us if your building has restricted delivery / receiving hours before we schedule your delivery. Feel free to call us one day before your scheduled delivery for an approximate delivery time. When you call, we will give you a projected three hour span somewhere between 7am and 7pm. Cancellations or postponements must be made three weekdays prior to the scheduled delivery date to avoid a charge. There is a nominal charge for packing when applicable. DELIVERY INSPECTION: Except for items purchased unassembled, your furniture will be carefully inspected prior to delivery and we are very confident it will be delivered in good condition. Before the delivery people leave, please look at the furniture being delivered to be certain it meets your expectations. As you know, wood grain, quality leather and other natural materials have variations in coloration, markings, and other characteristics that make each item distinctive. Because your time and money are valuable, we want to make sure you are pleased and will not have to pay for our delivery people to come back a second time. We can also arrange to ship your order outside our regular delivery area. In fact, we ship all over the U.S. and throughout the Pacific Basin. MERCHANDISE PICK UP: Since we need time to properly prepare your merchandise, please schedule and confirm your pick up 24 hours in advance. For all but the smallest items, bring an SUV, truck or van and another person to assist you in loading. Our insurance will not permit our sales employees to load or assist loading, nor do we permit them or you to remove large or heavy items from our showroom. To protect your new purchase, bring plenty of blankets and tie ropes with you. Keep in mind that delivery is available at a nominal charge and strongly recommended. PICK UP INSPECTION: We want you to be satisfied and not have to come back a second time. Before leaving, please look at your furniture carefully. For more information, please see "DELIVERY INSPECTION" above.

Vegan Gluten-Free Mini Veggie Burgers
Adapted from "The Daily Green", www.thedailygreen.com
These bean burgers feature amaranth, a tiny, gluten-free grain that's rich in protein and has twice as much iron as wheat.
Makes 12-13 mini-burgers
Ingredients |
2 cups cooked drained lentils (cook according to instructions below or use canned) |
½ cup dry NOW Real Food® Amaranth Grain* |
1 tablespoon Ellyndale Organics™ Extra Virgin Olive Oil* |
½ cup onion, finely diced (about half a medium onion) |
1 large carrot, peeled and grated |
¼ teaspoon celery seeds |
½ cup quick or instant oats |
2 tablespoons ketchup |
2 tablespoons NOW® Nutritional Yeast Flakes* |
½ teaspoon salt, or to taste |
½ cup NOW Real Food® Sunflower Seeds* |
Preparing the Lentils:
- To cook the lentils, add 1 cup dry lentils to 3 cups boiling water and cook until the lentils are soft, about 30 minutes.
- Drain, measure out 2 cups of lentils and place them in a large mixing bowl (save any extra lentils for another use).
Preparing the Amaranth:
- Add the amaranth to 1 cup boiling water.
- Lower the heat and cook, covered, until the amaranth is cooked and all the water is absorbed, about 25 minutes.
- Add the cooked amaranth to the mixing bowl.
Preparing the Burgers:
- Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
- Line a baking pan with parchment paper and spray with nonstick spray. Set aside.
- Heat the olive oil in a nonstick or cast-iron skillet over medium heat and sauté the onion, carrot and celery seeds until the carrot is soft, about 8 minutes, then add to the mixing bowl along with the oats, ketchup, nutritional yeast flakes and salt.
- Grind the sunflower seeds into a coarse meal using a food processor, then add them to the mixing bowl and mix and mash everything together.
- Form mixture into 12 to 13 small patties, about 2 3/4 inches in diameter and 1/2 inch thick, and place them on the prepared baking sheet. Moisten your fingers with a bit of water to keep the mixture from sticking as you work.
- Bake for 20 minutes, until dry on the top, then flip the patties over and bake for another 10 minutes, until firm and brown.
- Serve immediately or let cool completely if packing in a lunchbox. (Mini Veggie Burgers also freeze well.)

Patrick-Murray Administration's Identity Theft Protection Rules Take Effect Today
New regulations add layer of protection to residents' information; call for written security plan from holders of data
The regulations, written by the Administration's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation, mandate any business or entity storing or transmitting personal information of a Massachusetts resident create a written security plan that details how that information will be protected from theft or loss. Personal information is defined as the combination of a consumer's name along with information like Social Security number, or bank or credit card account numbers.
"Consumers should feel confident that their personal information is protected, and not exposed to loss or theft," said Governor Deval Patrick. "These regulations improve the safety of personal information, while giving businesses the flexibility to secure that information without undue burden."
"In two years, over one million pieces of information belonging to Massachusetts residents were lost or stolen, creating stress, worry and financial inconveniences for consumers," said Barbara Anthony, the Undersecretary of the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation. "The rules taking effect March 1 will make it less likely that personal information is exposed, and create another layer of protection for consumers."
The regulations are part of the identity theft law signed by Governor Deval Patrick and balance consumer protections with the needs of small business owners. The regulations make clear that the approach to data security is a risk-based approach - which is especially important to small businesses that may not handle a lot of personal information about customers or employees. Under this risk-based approach, a business developing a written security program should take into account its size, nature of business, the kinds of records it maintains and the risk of identity theft posed by its operations.
"I don't think there is anybody more concerned about protecting personal information than small businesses," said Bill Vernon, the Massachusetts Director of the National Federation of Independent Businesses. "Like other consumers, small business owners want the personal information of their customers, their workers, and their family members protected. These amended regulations offer well thought-out, flexible safeguards for both the consuming public and businesses at a reasonable cost for most businesses."
"Plymouth Rock takes the protection of personal information very seriously. We're pleased that Massachusetts is taking the lead nationally in issuing these new regulations. Their new security measures will help businesses like ours provide even better protection for sensitive personal information," said Paula Gold, Vice President of Regulatory Affairs for Plymouth Rock Assurance Corporation.
"Associated Industries of Massachusetts believes that the final data security regulations promulgated by the Commonwealth's Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulations fulfill the legislative intent to ensure that holders of personal information on employees and customers take appropriate actions to prevent identify theft. We thank Governor Deval Patrick, Undersecretary Barbara Anthony, and her staff, along with Attorney General Martha Coakley, Representative Michael Rodrigues and Senator Michael Morrissey, for working with the employer community to develop an effective and practicable set of regulations. AIM urges all state agencies charged with implementing and enforcing these regulations to pursue a collaborative and educational posture toward the regulated community, especially small businesses, to enhance compliance and increase awareness." said Bradley A. MacDougall, Associate Vice President for Government Affairs at AIM.
Since the regulations' final draft was unveiled in August 2009, the Office of Consumer Affairs and Business Regulation has participated in about 30 seminars or meetings, talking about the rules with representatives of more than 1,500 businesses.
"What these regulations do is help create a culture of security," Anthony said. "Consumers have a higher level of trust with a business when they know their personal information is being protected."

"This is a nice change of pace for a weeknight dinner. I liked the salsa verde in the rice. I added a can of black beans to the rice. Quick & easy - can't beat that."
"I made a half batch of these quick rolls. They were very easy to make and tasted great. They were crisp on the outside and soft on the inside. We topped them with some honey butter - perfect!"
"Really easy to make. I melted the marshmallows and then transferred it to my Kitchen Aid mixer. I greased the bowl and dough hook. It was SO easy. It took about 6 minutes to come together. It is much cheaper than buying fondant. I will be using this recipe from now on."
"Very good. I used reduced-fat crescent rolls, 1/3 less fat cream cheese and milk instead of whipping cream. I also reduced the butter to 2 Tbsp and I would omit it all together next time. The rolls were creamy and flavorful. This is an easy dish to make and I would make it again."
"Great ice cream and really easy to make. I heated the milk and sugar over low heat until the sugar dissolved. I let the mixture chill overnight and then put it in the ice cream maker. It was nice and creamy. I used chocolate cake mix. Can't wait to try other mixes."
"We made this last night and LOVED it. I only made a few substitutions - whole wheat pasta, fresh garlic and half cream-half milk. This was really creamy and had a good flavor. I might add more cajun seasoning next time - I like it spicy! I wish I had doubled the recipe so I had leftovers for lunch today!"
"We have been trying to not eat out as much this year. We love to eat out but when you eat and drink out two nights a week it starts to add up quickly. One of our favorite Italian restaurants is Amore, right next to our house. Amore is a small intimate restaurant with really fresh Italian food. One of Amore's specialties is the meatballs. I wa..."
"This was wonderful! I used a 3 pound roast and used minced onion flakes instead of 2 large onions (not a big onion fan!). I let it cook on low for about 10.5 - 11 hours. The au jus the roast made was SO good. I served this with parmesan risotto. DH said it is the best thing I make! Thanks Kitten!"

If you think you know Thailand because you've stayed at the Oriental or shopped for handwoven silk at Jim Thompson's, here's a swift kick in the head. It's called muay thai, and in a country that has been packaged as an elegant colonial fantasy, this martial art is one of the last remaining tastes of the real, raw Siam.
I've been a fan for 10 years, since I was first dragged to a night of fights by an expat who'd gotten to know the underbelly of Bangkok when it was a wild R&R stop during the Vietnam War. We'd spent a long, sweltering afternoon touring the ornate Grand Palace; I was ready for a quiet dinner. My friend was having none of it. He hailed the noisiest tuk-tuk on the street, and by the time it dumped us in front of old Rajadamnern Stadium 10 minutes later, the serenity of the Emerald Buddha's smile was a world away.
The shadowy entrance was jammed with the kind of crowd that seems just on the verge of a riot. Fortunately, they weren't being kept hungry. Every few feet a vendor was stirring a steaming wok of noodles or mashing spicy papaya salad with a mortar and pestle. My friend ordered a Singha beer and some cheap Mekong whiskey from an old man, who poured each into a plastic bag. "There are no bottles allowed inside," my guide explained, "for reasons that will become obvious."
We walked through the front gate and into a scene right out of Mad Max in the Thunderdome. Spotlights poured onto the center of the ring, where a furious muay thai kickboxing fight was already in progress. The boxers spun, kicked, and, in clinches, kneed each other in the ribs. With every blow, the crowd roared in lusty appreciation. Halfway up the grandstand was a chain-link fence separating the more expensive seats from the bleachers. When the action grew particularly fierce, the rowdies in back rushed down to the fence, shaking it until it seemed as if it would collapse. At the end of the night, I didn't know whether muay thai was the greatest spectacle I'd ever seen or if I should just be happy to have gotten out alive.
It took many more nights at rickety Rajadamnernand the newer Lumpini Stadium before I began to understand what I'd witnessed that evening. While muay thai may be the best pure entertainment in Thailand, it's not so much a sport as a complex cultural tradition, with layers of ritual and hundreds of years of history behind it. It is, in fact, a living relic of the bloody centuries when empires rose and fell in Siam, Angkor, and Burma, when warlords fought endless battles to protect their kingdoms.
Legend has it that all martial arts originated at the Shaolin Temple in China, where an Indian prince named Bodhidharma—who, like Buddha, had renounced his throne to devote himself to religious studies—decided to train his monks in self-defense. These teachings spread to Korea, where they evolved into tae kwon do, and to Japan, where they emerged as karate. In Siam, they became muay thai, the fighting form warriors used when their spears had all been thrown.
Between wars, these fighters practiced their kicks against the trunks of smooth banana trees. Eventually, the training sessions evolved into matches, barefisted contests against fellow soldiers that were almost as bloody as the wars themselves. The combatants later began wrapping their fists with kaad chuek, hemp rope that protected their hands and inflicted greater damage. If the stakes were especially high, the kaad chuek was soaked in sticky tree resin and embedded with broken glass.
Over the years, the rituals surrounding muay became as significant as the kicks and punches. Before entering the ring, each fighter dons an armband called a praijed and a mongkol, a colorful headband that has been blessed by a monk. A fighter might tuck tiny Buddha amulets into his praijed and mongkol, along with other venerated objects such as a strand of his father's hair or a thread from the sarong his mother was wearing when he was born.
That's all a matter of personal taste. Each boxer is required, however, to perform what comes next, a graceful, bouncing dance of homage called the wai khru ram muay; it's eyed closely by the cognoscenti, who gauge the fighters by the integrity of their rituals and bet accordingly. The series of prostrations, which honor the king, Thailand, and Buddhism, is known as "the calm before the storm."
But the calm is not silent. It is accompanied by music that is, by turns, melancholy and frenetic, played on an Indian oboe, two drums, and cymbals. The music continues throughout the match; the fighters use its rhythm to time their attacks.
The last ritual before the battle is the removal of the mongkol by the fighter's teacher. As the instructor does this he whispers an incantation and blows on his student's head three times. If the words are powerful enough, they will protect him. The incantation "Gam ban mak nuen," for instance, means "May my clenched fist weigh a thousand kilograms," granting the fighter the power to knock out his opponent with a single blow. Some boxers, taking no chances, have incantations tattooed on the backs of their hands.
One of the most famous muay thai gyms in Thailand is the Lanna/Kiat Busaba Boxing Camp in the northern city of Chiang Mai. Surprisingly, it's run by Andy Thomson, a muscular Scotsman with a crew cut and an angular face. On the afternoon of my visit to his camp, an outdoor pavilion with rows of heavy bags and two rings, there are 20 boxers sweating and grunting through their workouts. The slap of kicks against leather pads echoes through the air like gunfire.

@Nschomer, the main issue is not really about the removal of the oil subsidy but the timing. To make the position worse, it is the same government and politically linked individuals that have siphoning oil subsidy funds. For instance, in 2011, the National Assembly set aside about N250billion ($1.63bn) for oil subsidy in the Nigeria's budget but government went ahead and spent N1.2Tr (about $7.4bn) on it. The government has just gone astronomically corrupt with so much waste and very little to show for anything. The little continues again this year with the president having a budget of $6.5million for his meals in 2012 budget.
If the subsidy is removed, it would lead to massive inflation. This is mainly because most trade in the country are small scale businesses who cannot amass financial momentum to cushion of the effect of such increase. Infact, they are mainly petty traders whose cost of running any operation would drastrically increase. More so, due to the absence of departmental stores or trading companies, there won't be any easy way of controlling price and prices would start spiralling out of complete control. If you ever knew the economic history of Nigeria, you would have clearly understood that such drastic price change would cause serious inflation. You may want to start from 1984 when the Naira was devalued to the dollars and SAP (Structural Adjustment Programme) was introduced.
The Nigerian economy is quite peculiar and requires careful handling as you need to combine with so many social-cultural influences.
With the looting in government going on, why would the populace be ready to go through undue or unplanned inflation? More so, if goverment or their economic bunch of advisers really mean it, why not go ahead to first fix the refineries so the oil would not be imported and their won't be any need for oil subsidy. The crude oil is there in abundance, but they can't set aside money to refine. Now they don't want to pay for bogus oil subsidy figures and you expect Nigerians to go through the induced inflation.

We will be taking our first trip to WDW in December and while I have the 9 days planned out for the most part I'm wondering about where we should eat the first night. We have 2 kids, ages 5 and 7. If we planned to eat at Teppan Edo at Epcot after our arrival, would we be sure to get in the park in the late afternoon? This will be Dec 22 and I've heard that sometimes the parks get busy and won't let any more people in? Or would we be better off going to a resort restaurant or Downtown Disney? We will be using the Dining Plan.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Since Bella Pizza first opened its doors in 1992, shortcuts haven't been a part of the chefs' repertoire. Instead, they personally hand-make each disc of pizza dough from scratch, and begin every morning by simmering sauces out of fresh tomatoes, garlic, basil, and spices. From that quality start, the pizza experts can create one of their specialty artisan pizzas?sized to feed two people or one black hole?or customize thin-crust pies to guests' specifications. And the toppings are just as fresh as the dough they adorn, ranging from bacon and grilled chicken to sausage and black olives. The menu of Italian-American favorites also features hot sub sandwiches, pasta dishes, and wings served with one of five house-made sauces.
The warm, homespun vibe of the cuisine is echoed in the pizza parlor's decor. Reclaimed barn wood adorns a portion of the cozy space's walls, alongside framed photographs and accent mirrors. A handful of small tables invites pairs or groups to gather and share a slice, along with some lively conversation.
When talking about his commitment to his store, Andrew Maggitti recalls the only day he didn't open his shop himself¬—the day his son was born. But the new dad was back at it that very evening, overseeing the shop's daily bread kneading and sauce bottling to keep the goods flowing for his loyal customers. An award-winning executive chef and caterer, Andrew has cooked in restaurants across the country, but he seized the opportunity to showcase his passion for Old-World Italian cuisine when an old farmhouse in the area went up for sale.
Inspired by his Italian grandmother's recipes, Andrew now rolls out meatballs and simmers from-scratch tomato sauce, helping the kitchens of locals to look and smell just like the ones he grew up in. Like the iconic delis of Baltimore's Little Italy, he wraps capocollo subs in thick butcher's paper and offers a small dining nook where customers can share his hot deli fare and whisper nutrition facts to one another. But it is the human bonds that come with being a part of his customer's lives, Andrew says, that ultimately connect his deli to its Old-World traditions. "Whether it's me or my wife," Andrew says, "you'll always see a recognizable, smiling face when you walk in."
My Three Sons sprang into existence because one Harford County mother wanted to share the simple Mediterranean meals she made for her three sons with the public. Today, her simple counter-service restaurant features dishes that highlight fresh, local ingredients from Harford County businesses, such as Level Farm beef and Broom's Bloom Dairy cheese. The hot, molten core of the menu is built on more than a dozen pita sandwiches, stuffed with fillings such as gyro meat, pesto chicken, and grilled eggplant or zucchini. Other items range from New York?style pizzas to platters of beer-battered fish or marinated meat.
Venetian Palace serves up Italian cuisine and American classics in an atmosphere that the Baltimore Sun called "bright and cheerful, just like the very efficient waitstaff." Chefs charbroil tender steaks and center-cut pork chops, knead fresh pizza dough, and sauté chicken breasts in marsala wine sauce. Platters of broiled seafood hint at the restaurant's close proximity to the water, and a full bar stocked with international wines suggests the secret vineyard in the basement.
The esculent artisans at The Olive Tree serenade diners with an extensive menu celebrating seafood and cuisine inspired by regions all throughout Italy. Evening diners can entice taste buds with comestible selections from a far-reaching dinner menu. Rouse appetites with fresh sautéed mussels reclining in a bath of garlic wine sauce ($10.59) before chowing on ricotta-stuffed baked manicotti ($11.99). Exercise incisors on grilled pork chops Italiano, served with grilled veggies and a side ($14.99) or crash a shrimp scampi slumber party jumping on a bed of linguine ($18.99). All entrees are served with unlimited garden salad and enough breadsticks to construct an edible scale model of Michelangelo's David. The dinner menu is rounded out by a variety of homemade desserts, including homemade cannoli ($4.95) and tiramisu ($4.95).
Customization is the word at Dominick's Pizza, where guests can tailor hand-tossed pizzas and overstuffed subs to their liking. Thick, Sicilian-style crusts form serving platters for a choice of 20 toppings, including italian sausage, capicola ham, and sweet peppers. Jumbo wings come in more than a dozen flavors, including Cajun and barbecue. Bolstered by nearly 50 years of history, the pizzeria also specializes in pastas as traditional as an Italian matron's weekly spaghetti-weaving parties.

Challenges Facing the Korean Economy
Challenges Facing the Korean Economy
In order to transform itself into one of the world's leading economies, Korea needs to manage macroeconomy in a sound manner, stabilize the livelihood of citizens and prepare for future risks.
First, it is necessary to implement a flexible macroeconomic policy to absorb overseas shocks and maintain price stability, while sustaining long-term economic recovery through the growth of the private sector.
Financial reform is a very important task Korea must accomplish, and the reform covers households, businesses, and financial institutions. Household debt needs to be maintained at a sound level, while corporations no longer sustaining on their own should be liquidated through corporate restructuring. Financial institutions must improve their soundness to prepare for possible insolvency of households and corporations. The government will closely monitor the financial market to detect sudden capital movements, which may disturb the economy, and seek measures to improve the foreign exchange sector.
As the living standards of the working classes, although improving, has yet to reach a satisfactory level, the government will strengthen efforts for the fruits of the economic recovery to trickle down to lower income classes. The country will lay a firmer ground for shared growth by boosting employment in the private sector, providing education and job training to vulnerable groups, and helping small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) raise competitiveness, while going on with efforts to support working people by reducing their cost of living and to protect vulnerable groups.
Facing a low birth and ageing society as well as declining growth potential, which will lead to a drop in economic growth, Korea needs to develop future growth engines and enhance productivity through restructuring. To help achieve this, the government will pursue lowering market entry barriers in service industries with large development and employment potential as soon as possible, while improving human resources development systems and increasing labor market flexibility so that human resources can be best used. The country needs to expand aid for green R&D to facilitate development of future growth engines in eco-friendly green industries, along with improving industrial support systems including financial support and tax incentives. Increasing productivity through market opening such as FTAs is also essential.
Furthermore, Korea needs to be prepared for future risks, such as an ageing society and climate change. The country will continue to do its best to improve fiscal soundness based on a long-term fiscal outlook so that it can appropriately deal with the ageing of society and changes in inter-Korean relations. In addition, Korea needs to consider changes in demand accompanied by demographic changes, and adjust related systems such as those of education, medical care and housing. On the other hand, to successfully deal with climate change, it will have to actively pursue energy-saving, while developing new renewable energy sources.

I work with a bunch of women. Not a couple, or a few, or even a gaggle. OK, maybe a gaggle. In 700 square feet of space, there is ten of us. That's pretty tight quarters.
That's ten different personality types. Some A's, some B's, some that are somewhere in between. Some loud and aggressive, some quiet and shy. One is not necessarily better than the other, just different.
That's ten different senses of humor. Some a little dirty, some a little twisted, some a little dry. Some can find humor in all of life's foibles, while others are a little more reserved in their comedic choices.
That's ten different cycles. I'm not going to get too far into that discussion, but if you are a woman, know a woman, love a woman, have shared a home with a woman, have a friend who is a woman, or have ever been around a woman, you know what I'm saying.
That's ten different viewpoints. Ten different ways to see the same thing. Sometimes it's a blessing to be able to see so many sides to the same story, sometimes it's a curse, but it will always lead to thought-provoking discussions and perhaps even some personal growth.
That's ten different beliefs. Whether discussing religion, politics, parenting, sex, or life after death, there is no lack of opinions tossed around, about any given subject, on a daily basis. No one belief is right or wrong, it just is, and I'm thankful that I am surrounded by a group of women who recognize that.
That's ten different life experiences. Different backgrounds, different social status, different upbringings. Some richer, some poorer, some better, some worse. Some from the 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's, and even some 90's thrown in. Some have faced greater life challenges than others, but all with the ability to share, teach, and grow.
That's ten different purses. Contained within those purses you will find all the necessities of life. Kleenex, tampons, pain killers and other various over-the-counter medications for everything from heartburn to eczema, gum, mints, perfume, change for coffee, phone numbers, make-up, and love. Purses are jam-packed full of love.
That's ten very different women. Ten very special women.
(And I didn't even put quotations around the "special"!)

How to Become a Popular Black Girl in a White Middle School
You want to be popular but feel like the color of your skin will stop you. Get strategies in play to be popular in school.
1Understand what you're really after. Do you want to be the most popular or just have people like you? Think about what is actually driving this desire in you. If you don't have many friends and just want more, that is one reason. If you believe that being the "most popular" is the best place to be, then that is a totally different reason.Ad
2Be a good friend yourself, if you desire more friends. Give compliments to random people in the hallways (Tell why you gave the compliment, in very few words to be real.) Say, "I'm sorry." when you hurt someone. Go to the aid of a student that is being picked on or hurt.
- Make people laugh (at a joke) but not cutting someone down. Be kind, not mushy. Don't talk mean about others. Don't lie. Don't cheat or people can say, "Now, I see how you made all your good grades."
- Smile lightly and nod quickly at someone as often as reasonable, not a big silly grin. Don't yell or snap at anyone unless you smile and quickly say, "Hey, just playing." or like that.
- Nod, "yes" to agree with the students and the teacher for any good idea and put a "thumb up" for two seconds. "Smeyes" Smile with your eyes, but not bugging your eyes, not just showing your teeth; that looks fake... Do all of that, and the other students will see you as a good friend. They will want to be around you because you make them feel great.
3Understand what you are asking for. Whoever is near the very "top" is the target for most anyone else. Being that popular is a most difficult place to be.
- You can easily slide from there, and that is an embarrassingly notorious process.
- When someone puts you down, quickly ask, "Hmm, what was that all about?" and smile... like you didn't get it. They want you to act hurt; so don't give that reward -- and this way you can avoid being picked on, because they won't get much feedback when you lightly shrug it off, as if it didn't hurt.
- Being popular will mean that you will more than likely cross-purposes with other people and their cliques; make others look weak; compromise (lie about) opinions that you might have liked to uphold, and give too much of your time and energy to keep your popularity.
- If you want be a good friend, in some schools, that will get you plenty popularity without the costs of being the top!
4Don't look at yourself as different. If you keep looking at yourself as different, it will come across to others, and you will convince yourself. People will see that as acting like you don't fit in. Be bright, smart and friendly to everyone, and you will be popular and have many friends. Simply focus on making more friends.Ad
We could really use your help!
infinity mirrors?
hardwood floors?
personal grooming?
- Be respectful of the teachers, but not a pet.
- Don't get in the way of a bully, but don't sneak around or act tough either.
- Walk with some good friends, but not with argumentative ones who look for trouble... and intimidate others.

Courtesy Coastline ProduceA pack and harvest crew works a broccoli field March 19 for Coastline Produce in Salinas, Calif.As vegetables started the spring transition out of desert growing regions, a modest bump in broccoli and cauliflower prices was expected. But overlapping production areas will keep volumes high on most items through March and into early April.
As Yuma, Ariz., and California's Coachella and Imperial valleys winded down, some production was already underway by mid-March in Huron, Santa Maria and Salinas.
Ocean Mist Farms, Castroville, Calif., started in Huron March 17 on romaine hearts and leaf lettuce and March 19 on iceberg lettuce, about a week ahead of schedule.
"We began harvesting broccoli, cauliflower and spinach in Salinas March 17, and we're going through the end of the month with those in Coachella," said Art Barrientos, vice president of harvesting for Ocean Mist. "There's plenty of overlap. Everybody's in the same boat."
But broccoli may be lighter than normal in the first two weeks of April. "Salinas is just so early that you're going to see that gap, especially then," Barrientos said.
By mid-March, Coastline Produce was already producing all of its broccoli and cauliflower in the Salinas Valley.
"Broccoli and cauliflower both came to a quick end in the desert," Mark McBride, salesman at Salinas-based Coastline, said March 18. "It's been warm for an awfully long time and that encourages rapid plant growth. The fields came on quickly and left a light spot. Those markets have perked up, both are $11 to $14." He expects light broccoli supplies now to the first week of April.
Broccoli in 20 pounds of crown cut shipped from Santa Maria for $10 to $13 on March 17, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and up to $14.61 out of Salinas. Year-ago prices out of Santa Maria were $6.65 to $7.50; Salinas was $7 to $7.50.
Coastline Produce ended Imperial Valley celery in the second week of March, now packing in Oxnard. Other Imperial items will run to about April 1, as will iceberg lettuce out of Yuma. McBride expected another week of desert romaine and leaf lettuce, with Salinas starting close to April 1.
In Santa Maria, Pacific International Marketing planned to start iceberg lettuce March 21, said Henry Dill, sales manager.
"The biggest adjustment has been that the weather is so mild a lot of the products we have in Santa Maria are 10 to 12 days ahead of the planned start," Dill said. That includes leaf lettuce, spinach and romaine hearts, which began March 5.
"In a poor market situation, that's made for a tough start," he said. "It's been a challenge having the desert product still coming on and trying to get started in Santa Maria."
Pacific International grows broccoli and cauliflower year-round in Santa Maria. Dill reports good quality on vegetables grown there.
Compared to about 30 frost days last year in Yuma, he said, there were just a few this year. "These winters were two extremes," he said.

Scotland | Remembering chillier times with fewer caps
Edinburgh | Eddie Turnbull of Hibernian was the first British player to score in the European Cup (see July 27). Yet due to arcane bylaws of the Scottish Football Association, his nine appearances for Scotland, including the 1958 World Cup finals in Sweden, remain mere historical footnotes. Until the 1970s Scotland's international players were only capped when playing another member of the Home Nations; thus, other players find themselves in Turnbull's predicament, including Stewart Imlach. Imlach's son Gary has asked, in his well-received book My Father and Other Working Class Football Heroes, for his father to receive a posthumous cap for his four appearances. Lawrie Reilly, who played with Turnbull on the Hibernian front line and 38 times for Scotland, has joined the call. "It's an incredible situation when you think that today players come off the bench for ten seconds, often just to waste time at the end of a game and they receive a cap, that's something I think should also be looked at."
Update: See 12 Feb 2006 for news of a Scottish Football Association policy reversal.

Nice guys, father and son. Had an expensive repair which I got a quote on but they didn't reckon up all the parts and labor. Also they didn't find out if the parts were available or not The job cost about $200 more than quoted (I should have got quote in writing) and took 6 days longer than expected. That being said I'll go back but get a firm written quote next time.

The Package
The flat green box is generally reserved for lower end cards. The 9600 GT series and upwards all use the holographic design, so you immediately get a feel that the card is a low-end model. With GS in the naming scheme, you continue to feel that the card is entry level; not 8400 GS entry level, but 1280 x 1024 gaming only entry level.
The front of the box is a pretty standard affair; FroBot takes up the majority of the box with a sticker being in the bottom right hand corner that gives us a complete run down on the main features.
Turning the box over we have the normal run down of features in a multitude of languages.
Inside the box we have a quick install guide along with a driver CD. Again, keeping with that lower end feel we don't receive Tomb Raider Anniversary Edition which we get with the 9600 GT Palit offerings.
Cable wise we have Component Out cable, Molex to PCI-E and DVI to VGA connector. What was surprising is that we have a DVI to HDMI adapter included in the package, making it not too bad an option for people who are looking for something new to install in their HTPC.

From the radeon man page: Option "ReverseDDC" "boolean" When BIOS connector informations aren't available, use this option to reverse the mapping of the 2 main DDC ports. Use this if the X serve obviously detects the wrong display for each connector. This is typically needed on the Radeon 9600 cards bundled with Apple G5s. The default is off. 2. Try adding Option "MergedFB" "false" It looks like it's detecting both heads, not monitors attached to both heads. If that doesn't work, please let us know. :) -Joe -- email@example.com mailing list

Covenant Chardonnay "Lavan" Napa Valley 2009
Jeff Morgan is rightly proud of his Lavan ("white," in Hebrew), an unfiltered, full-bodied white wine with a fine blend of mineral, stone fruit, toast, vanilla, and citrus flavors. "It's barrel-fermented for richness and complexity," he says, "and it's got bright acidity and can stand up to all sorts of rich dishes. But it also has enough elegance to pair well with light-textured seafood and soups."

Oct 11, 2012 7:14 PM by CJ, The Associated Press
VICTORVILLE, Calif. (AP) - Authorities say a school bus carrying 40 children has been involved in an accident that has injured 10 children and left the school bus on its side in Victorville.
California Highway Patrol Officer B. Robinson says the accident was reported shortly after 2 p.m. Thursday, and none of the injuries appear to be serious at this time.
Robinson says the most serious injury appears to be a laceration to the head. That injured child and several others were transported to a local hospital.
The accident happened after a U-Haul truck collided with the school bus.
Robinson says investigators at the scene are still trying to figure out what happened.

The reduction alone is larger than the total advertising spending of a Nike or a Volkswagen. GM is the country's second-largest advertiser, and it is shifting toward direct marketing, Web sites, online video, event marketing, branded entertainment and Internet advertising.
The move from traditional print, radio and TV to digital platforms is undeniable.
