Temple, TX — With summer officially underway, trauma services at McLane Children's and Scott & White Memorial Hospital – Temple, both part of Baylor Scott & White Health, are prepared for a busy season and a potential increase in the number of trauma cases that come through their doors. According to the American College of Surgeons, traumatic injuries and accidents are the leading causes of death among children and adults under age of 44.
"We typically notice an increase in traumatic injuries, particularly among the 'high-risk' age group [teens and young adults] which usually begins in May," said Danny Little, MD, pediatric surgeon at McLane Children's Hospital. "Now that children are out for summer break and more will engage in outdoor activities, the potential for an accident or incident becomes greater. Since April we've seen a growing number of motor vehicle accidents involving children, as well as accidents involving bicycles, and injuries related to dog bites."
According to the American College of Surgeons, pediatric trauma is the leading cause of death for children over the age of one. In 2012, Scott & White facilities saw more than 16,000 children in our emergency rooms, with approximately 2000 trauma related visits to the McLane Children's emergency department. McLane Children's, is the only designated pediatric Level II Trauma Center between Dallas and Austin, verified by the American College of Surgeons, to serve the needs of children.
Patients in Central Texas have access to some of the highest-level trauma care available to handle unexpected situations. Scott & White Memorial Hospital, the only designated Level I Trauma Center between Dallas and Austin, is designated by the Texas Department of Health and verified by the American College of Surgeons as offering the highest level of expertise and specialized resources for critically ill and injured patients.
"Trauma care involves an integrated, collaborative, team-centered care approach led by a group of trauma surgeons, emergency medicine physicians, critical care, orthopedic surgery, plastic/reconstructive surgery, neurosurgery, physical rehabilitation, nursing and several other areas that are ready to assemble around the clock to care for injured patients," said Matthew Davis, MD, FACS, medical director for the trauma program for Scott & White Memorial.
Blood Donations Needed
Trauma centers at Scott & White Memorial and McLane Children's Hospital are designed to help families through any traumatic injury. In addition to the team of experts, there is another aspect to trauma care – blood supply. Trauma care often requires the need for a blood transfusion in order to treat the injury and perform the necessary surgeries. The Scott & White Blood Center is the only hospital-based blood donation center in the region which allows for better access to an immediate blood supply in traumatic or crisis situations.
"We never know when someone's going to need a significant amount of blood, particularly with a traumatic incident, so our inventories always have to be robust for all blood types," said Walter Linz, M.D., medical director of the Scott & White Blood Center. "With two trauma centers located close to each other, we always have to be prepared for the unexpected. The Blood Center supply gets hit particularly hard during the summer leading to urgent, and sometimes, critical needs for blood donations. We strongly encourage those who can donate blood to take the opportunity to put a unit on the shelf so we are prepared for whatever trauma that might come to us this summer unexpectedly."
Physicians, medical staff, and the community play an important role helping others survive and recover after traumatic injuries. Community support is vital to care from the point of the patient's arrival to the point of discharge.

The scar on my wrist reminds me that I was once very sad but now the ring on my finger tells me it is possible to be happy, very happy.
At the funeral, the bloodied, torn knuckles of my best friend spoke volumes about how he tried to release his only son from the noose.
He found her incoherent on the bathroom floor, and, not knowing what to do, sent her best friend a text that his phone auto-corrected to "She took all the pools."
The summer that three of my friends committed suicide, my sister convinced me that the voices in my head were them telling their true stories of being murdered.
The irony has never been lost on me that my genetic disease which causes depression also keeps the scars that cover my arms from ever disappearing.
I found out about my friend's attempted suicide as I pulled into her driveway to cheer her up.
When I logged on to Facebook, I wasn't expecting to find my mother's suicide note.
I had always wanted to meet your family, but never under these circumstances.
The lady from suicide hotline spoke to me as if I was five years old.
When we came back from summer vacation, the school board had the sharpie notes painted over, but the locker still stands empty three years later.
I thought my college crush and next-door neighbour was just sick until they called a dorm floor meeting.
When her shaky and sobbing voicemail said to call her back asap, the worst thing I could think of was maybe her dog was dead, not her father.
Because some idiot doesn't know how to label an address, I got a knock on the door from the mailman, which saved my life.
When I walked into my Grandpa's house I thought a bag of frozen blueberries melted on the floor, only for it to be revealed as a puddle of his own blood.
When my family asked me why I tried to kill myself I threw them out of the hospital room telling them to come back when they had the answer, but even now I can hear them arguing loudly in the hallway and I know they'll never figure out the reason.
The catharsis from killing the character based on myself in my terrible novel may have been the only thing that prevented me from doing it in real life.
Your brains will never wash off our daughter's bedroom walls.
One week after my niece was born to my seventeen-year-old sister, the father hung himself.
I learned that night that sometimes when a person threatens to commit suicide, they aren't bluffing.
I was writing a poem about death when my health class learned that writing poetry about death is a sign of someone being suicidal.
She paused, looked at the damage she had already done and realized that the only reason for not ending it all right then that came to her mind was, "You have a test on Monday that you've already studied for."
I have received a lot of things that most don't get by 18, PTSD, depression, therapy, violent fantasies, and suicidal thoughts, yet I still haven't had a girlfriend.
I couldn't stop thinking about how that picture board had been made for a graduation party, not a funeral.
When the doctor asked if there was a history of depression in my family, I said no, but later I realized the two alcoholics and the two suicides by gun probably counted.
The very first person to ask me for my autograph killed herself a week later, and I will never forget her.
My grandma was waiting for my dad to take her to the hairdresser, but when he didn't show she went up to his room only to find empty wine bottles, pills, and him dead on the couch.
Waking up four hours later in the hospital after I had overdosed on Tylenol, I was so happy to be alive that I thought I was cured.
The poor janitor was only trying to do his job, and it was never supposed to include being threatened to be ripped limb from limb by grieving teenagers.
While out to lunch with a roommate I hadn't seen in 27 years, she mentioned between bites of her chicken salad sandwich that her first memory at age 3 was watching her mother try to commit suicide by setting herself on fire.
It was when I attempted to commit suicide at Wal-Mart that she realized I needed help.
I never thought at 24 I'd have to move 3000 miles, share an air mattress with my brother, have my car repossessed, and have to file for bankruptcy because my husband decided suicide sounded like a better option than getting professional help.
The day I got fed up with her daily suicide threats and didn't call to make sure she was okay was the day she was found dead.
I just discovered my diary from when I was 17 and the last thing I wrote in it was "Am I at the point where an overdose makes sense?"
His suicide note blamed me.
The only thing that stopped me from taking the rest of the Tylenol in the bottle was the possibility that my organs would be unsuitable for donation afterward.
I will never forgive them for letting me find out my aunt had committed suicide on the five o'clock news.
There was a night early in my childhood when I was certain my mother was going to commit suicide.
My mom paused while vacuuming to tell me she's afraid my brother will kill himself, which I've known for the past seven years.
When I think of Halloween, I think of how your roommates must have found you that night.
It's been a month today since he died and this website was my last port of call for somewhere he might have hidden a message to me.
When I found out the boy whose small gestures of kindness in high school had given me faith in humanity had hanged himself, I lost that faith in humanity.
I only have 70 days left to live, but I'm looking for a job anyway.
A failed suicide attempt on Tuesday night makes it hard to care on Thursday when your boss is mad you stayed home sick on Wednesday.
While playing pool with a stranger I was casually told that my childhood best friend had committed suicide.
You made your sister an only child after the "Half of My Heart is in Iraq" sticker on your truck became untrue.
When the boy I almost killed myself over in high school announced his breakup over Facebook, I realized I was living the life I had always dreamed about.
My father almost died when I was 14 because I lied to my Mom, telling her there was nothing in the drawer where I found his suicide note.
Thanks to me my best friend hasn't killed himself yet, but when I burn out and stop trying for him he'll kill two other people, then himself.
I had to find out from a myspace bulletin that the man I loved for 9 of the 18 years I had been alive, hung himself from a swing set in a local park.
She hung herself with the purse I gave her for Christmas.
Because he killed himself, I was able to fall in love.
Funny how I considered Mom the weak parent, but he's the one who killed himself.
My best friend hung himself on a Friday afternoon, and when I checked my cell phone the morning of his funeral I realized he had called me that day at 3:24PM.
As his favorite song played on my mp3 player, I realized why he tried to kill himself.
Until last year I never realized that people in mental institutions really do color and put jigsaw puzzles together.
When my phone rang, I expected to hear her voice, but all I heard was her mother crying and saying, "I'm sorry, I'm so sorry I didn't believe you."
"Kill myself" and "Kill it myself" have very different meanings and the typo earned me 30 hours of group therapy.
If it weren't for all the songs about suicide, I wouldn't be here.
If I see another dog get dumped at the shelter, I just might save it or kill myself.
Had I gone back to sleep when I saw his number, he'd be dead, but I still feel like a bad friend.
As it turns out, today was just one more in an endless succession of days where the desire to get out of bed and go in to work marginally outweighed the desire to put my head in the oven and turn on the gas.
I worry he's just waiting for the last Harry Potter book to come out before he kills himself.
When we found his body, only his lower half stuck out of the ground so it looked like the earth was eating him.
I didn't expect myself to survive to see the two year anniversary of the day they told me it had been a single bottle of pills that took her away.

The Murata Katana is an ancient sword from the Meiji Era that was given to Saeko Busujima by Soichiro Takagi.
The Murata Katana is a sword from the manga/anime series Highschool of the Dead that was written by Daisuke Sato and illustrated by Shouji Sato. The series first began serialization in Fujimi Shobo's Monthly Dragon Age magazine in July 2006. It first appeared in Highschool of the Dead Volume 3 CH. 12 "The Sum of All Deads", and the anime appearance was in Highschool of the Dead - Episode 11 "Dead Storm Rising".
The blade of the Murata-tou is a double-edged Kissaki-Moroha only slightly curved. During the Meiji Era, it was created for Major General Murata, who was also known for the Murata Rifle. It was forged at the Tokyo Artillery Factory. As legend has it, how could cut the skull of a pig in half and not damage the blade.

I noticed that as well after a quick flick through the wiki and matching them to the pages, there aren't too many wiki pages and a lot of them aren't directly a package page, these are what I pulled out and were also lowercase linked on the package page. Python, Nano, A2PS, Cdrtools, PPP, Thunderbird, Lynx, LinksBrowser In the case of A2PS the package page is a2ps and I think it would be sensible to match the wiki page to the package page case for case, including Links rather than LinksBrowser, most notably in the case of ORBit. After this is should be relatively simple to grab the package name from `name`-`version`, using the hyphen to explode it, and automatically assume that the matching wiki page to the associated name has the proper case according to the package name. Perhaps this data could be grabbed from the title of the page itself.

No Quick Return For Purches
Stephen Purches is going to be taking his time to get back to full fitness following his double leg break.
He may be keen to get back to playing, but Stephen Purches is going to be out for 12 months (or there abouts) and isn't going to be hurrying back after the leg break sustained against Rochdale back in February.
Speaking to the Clubs Official Web Site, Purches is quoted as saying: "I will just take each step as it comes. I don't want to give myself a date when I have to be back. I'm going to see the surgeon at the end of next week and have an x-ray, hopefully that will be another positive step and I might then be able to put a bit of weight on my leg and start to walk again. That's my aim at the moment, and then I can tick that off and move on to the next target. I have really enjoyed this season. That's probably what has hurt the most. It was probably one of the most enjoyable seasons I've had, I don't know why but I was really enjoying my football. It is disappointing but these things happen in football. I'm hoping to get back as soon as I can, when that will be who knows, but I'm taking small steps at the moment".

Compensatory Damages in a Personal Injury Claim
Locate a Local Personal Injury Lawyer
What are "Compensatory Damages" in a Personal Injury Claim?
In a personal injury lawsuit, compensatory damages are paid by the defendant to the victim to compensate them for losses caused by the personal injury. Compensatory damages may be awarded for a wide range of different losses.
In some cases, compensatory damages can cover other damages that are a "reasonable consequence" of the defendant's negligence. Each state may have different limits and rules regarding compensatory damage awards. But in general, a judge or jury can exercise wide discretionary power when calculating and issuing compensatory damage awards.
What Types of Losses do Compensatory Damages Usually Cover?
Compensatory damages may be awarded in two different forms. First, "special damages" compensate the victim for their monetary losses. Secondly, "general damages" compensate the victim for non-monetary losses.
While the specific rules may vary by jurisdiction, the following personal injury losses can be recovered through a compensatory damages award:
- Medical Expenses and Cost of Medical Treatment: Compensatory damages usually cover the costs of hospital bills, medical treatment, prescription medicines, and other health care aspects
- Lost Wages or Future Loss of Earnings: If the personal injury resulted in a loss of wages, these can be recovered through compensatory damages. In some cases the victim can also be compensated if the injury causes them to lose the ability to earn wages in the future.
- Costs Associated with Repair/Replacement of Property: A victim can usually be compensated for damage to property that was directly caused by the defendant's actions. This is usually calculated according to the fair market value of the property at the time of the injury
- Cost of Living with a Disability: If the plaintiff's injuries lead to disability, they can sometimes receive compensation for costs associated with the disability (such as wheelchairs or assisted living arrangements). They can also be compensated for future loss of earnings if the injury reduces their amount of wages that they can earn in the future.
- Pain and Suffering: In addition to medical expenses, the victim may be compensated for severe pain and mental or emotional suffering resulting from the injury. However, they must usually prove that the pain is linked to the injury, and that the suffering is not contrived or imaginary
- Funeral Expenses: Relatives of a personal injury victim can usually recover costs associated with funeral expenses
- Loss of Consortium: In most personal injuries, it is usually the victim who is compensated. However, a spouse can sometimes receive a damages award if the injury deprives them of the emotional elements of marriage (such as loss of affection, comfort, and sexual relations).
- Emotional Distress or Mental Anguish: Emotional distress can sometimes be covered by compensatory damages; in may jurisdictions, the defendant must have acted intentionally in order to be found liable for causing emotional distress
- Permanent Disability or Disfigurement: Some victims can obtain additional compensation if the accident or negligence resulted in permanent disabilities or disfigurement
In some jurisdictions, personal injury laws place a "cap" or limit on the amount of damages that a victim can receive in a lawsuit. In any case, a compensatory damages award must be reasonable and proportionate to the victim's losses.
What Factors are Considered When Calculating Compensatory Damages?
When calculating compensatory damages in a personal injury claim, courts will usually consider factors such as:
- The victim's age
- The nature and extent of the injury or injuries
- The victim's earning capacity before the injury
- Loss of income
- The impact of the injury on the lifestyle of the victim
All of these factors are considered in detail, and the victim may need to provide additional proof in light of such factors. For example, the victim may need to provide documents such as pay stubs, medical receipts, and witness testimonies.
Do I Need a Lawyer for Help with Compensatory Damages in a Personal Injury Claim?
Filing for compensatory damages can sometimes be a complex task. If you need assistance with a personal injury claim, you may wish to speak with a lawyer for advice and/or representation in court. Since personal injury and tort laws vary by state, you may need the expertise of an attorney for your lawsuit.

Cougars sweeps Brazosport Christian at home
Sept. 2, 2010 at 4:02 a.m.
TAPPS District 8-2A Volleyball
Faith Academy 3, Lake Jackson Brazosport Christian 0
Brazosport 16-18-15
Faith 25-25-25
Faith Highlights: Brittany Church, 3 service points, 8 assists; Shea Gonzalez, 9 service points, 6 kills, 4 aces; Haley Thomas, 21 service points, 2 kills, 16 assists, 10 aces; Ashley Tyau, 5 blocks, 13 kills; Maegan Wilkinson, 10 service points 4 kills, 2 aces.
District records: Faith Academy 3-0, Brazosport Christian 0-4.
Three-oh was the phase of the night Thursday as the Faith Academy Lady Cougars volleyball team swept the Lake Jackson Brazosport Christian Lady Eagles to improve their record to 3-0 in TAPPS district 8-2A.
Although it took them a half a game to find their groove, the Lady Cougars dominated winning the three games 25-16, 25-18 and 25-15.
"We kept the momentum on our side, but we had to push ourselves to get there," said Faith Academy coach Suzanne Valenzuela.
Shea Gonzalez had nine service points and four aces and Ashley Tyau added 13 kills and five blocks in the home win.
In the first game, the two teams went back and fourth and were tied at 16 before the Lady Cougars finished the game with nine consecutive points.
"She just told us we need to get our game together and we need to take care of business," Gonzalez said.
Added Tyau: "Winning the first game definitely helped us be more pumped. It showed us that we could do better."
The pumped Lady Cougars were more aggressive in the second game and jumped out to a 10-2 lead in the second game and although Brazosport Christian cut the lead to 17-14, Faith Academy finished off the second and third game to take the match.
Although Faith Academy struggled early, Valenzuela saw some improvement in the team's passing game as the match went on.
"When someone has a good server, you've really got to get the passing and the platforms good so that did come through towards the third game," Valenzuela said.
Tyau provided the presence for the Lady Cougars in front of the net Thursday as she finished with 13 kills and five blocks.
"Her swing's coming along. She's staying in front of the ball so she is putting power down on the ball. That is going to be a great asset all year," Valenzuela said.
Behind Tyau, Gonzalez countered what the Lady Eagles were doing defensively with serves that were too hot for Brazos Christian to handle as she had nine service points.
"They come really hard, so she does a really good job making sure there's some speed on the ball," Valenzuela said.
The district win keeps Faith Academy undefeated in the league while the Lady Eagles are still looking for their first district win with the loss dropping them to 0-4.
The good start to the district season has given the Lady Cougars some cautious confidence heading into their next district game at Highlands Chinquapin on Tuesday.
"It's definitely boosted our confidence through the roof," said Tyau. "We're just not letting our guard down because we never know what else is out there."

They call it the "Sportman's Paradise" for a reason. Spending on outdoor recreation is heating up in the Ark-La-Tex. According to a study by a national trade group, spending on outdoor equipment from grills to fishing gear has grown by 5 percent each year since 2005. Don Tubbs of Tubbs Hardware & Rentals in Bossier City, says grills are flying off the shelves. "The temperatures have been kinder to us, so they're spending more time outside, and our grill sales, are big green egg sales, have been phenomenal," said Tubbs.
Overall, the outdoor industry employs three times as many people as the oil and gas industry, according to the study. The total revenue dollars stack up nicely too, at more than $646 billion.

Implicit model selection using variable transformation in Estimation of Distribution Algorithms
Davide Cucci
PhD Student
DEI - Aula 2A
18 luglio 2012
Ore 9.30
The Estimation of Distribution Algorithms belong to the family of Model Based Search strategies for optimization and they employ a probability model, able to capture the features of high quality solutions, which is iteratively estimated from a set of promising solutions and sampled to generate new candidates for the next iteration. The problem of the choice of the model is crucial, indeed most of EDA literature focuses on employing model selection strategies known from statistics and machine learning. In this work we address the model selection problem from a different perspective: instead of learning a complex, high dimensional probability model we fix a low dimensional model and search for a variable transformation which maximize the likelihood of the transformed individuals with respect to the fixed model chosen a-priori. This approach, along with the particular class of variable transformations we consider, leads to the introduction of a novel class of EDAs, called Function Composition Algorithms, which we test and validate against a set of well known benchmark functions.

Pro-Con: Are e-cigarettes safer than smoking?
Elena Watts
Jan. 19, 2014 at 10:02 p.m.
Updated Jan. 18, 2014 at 7:19 p.m.
What are e-cigarettes?
• Battery-operated products designed to deliver nicotine, flavor and other chemicals.
• Turn chemicals, including highly addictive nicotine, into an aerosol that is inhaled by the user.
• Most e-cigarettes are manufactured to look like conventional cigarettes, cigars or pipes. Some resemble everyday items such as pens and USB memory sticks.
• E-cigarettes have not been fully studied, so consumers currently don't know the potential risks of e-cigarettes when used as intended, the amount of nicotine or other potentially harmful chemicals being inhaled or the possible benefits associated with using these products.
• Additionally, it is not known if e-cigarettes may lead young people to try other tobacco products, including conventional cigarettes, which are known to cause disease and lead to premature death.
Source: U.S. Food and Drug Administration
As smokers rush vape shops for a healthier alternative to smoking real, traditional cigarettes, the jury is still out about the safety of electronic cigarettes.
Victoria became home to two vape shops last year with another scheduled to open soon. So why are some people sold on the product while others are worried?
Pro: E-cigarettes help users quit smoking with alternative
Con: Addictive properties could drive users to tobacco products

Dictionary » S » Self antigen Self antigenDefinition noun, plural: self antigens An exogenous antigen that is recognized as nonself by the immune system, which should be considered otherwise under normal conditions.
Production of autoantigens occurs under normal conditions, especially when a cell becomes neoplastic that it has to be recognized and acted upon by the immune system. However, when the immune system continues to fail to recognize own constituent parts as self it can lead to an autoimmune disease.

Internationalized Domain Names
At the ICANN meeting In Seoul in October 2009, ICANN announced one of the most significant changes to the Internet in its 40 year history. By approving the use of new extensions containing non-Latin characters, ICANN not only opened the Internet up to millions, perhaps billions, of users worldwide, they also reinforced the idea that the Internet is truly a global resource. It means that people can access it in their national language, even if that language uses non-Latin characters, like Greek, Hindi, Arabic, Russian, Korean, or a host of many others.
I know I've mentioned it before, but the Internet is truly becoming a resource for all of us, regardless of place of residence or the language we speak. This is important for Canadians. Canada is a multicultural country. We are one of the most culturally diverse nations in the world. Half of the population of our largest city, Toronto, were born outside of Canada. Statistics Canada estimates that by 2017, that there will be 1.8 million people of Chinese descent in Canada.
ICANN put together a great video about IDNs, and what this decision means. One line from the video that resonates for me is, "it's one step at making the Internet equally accessible for everyone." You can find it here.
I think ICANN's decision is a step forward in advancing the Internet as being accessible to all. What do you think?

Success Stories
Joan and George: Imago composite
This story is put together as a composite from many of the typical couples who might benefit from Imago. Joan and George are a fictional couple.
Joan and George met in their mid-twenties, fell deeply in love, married, had two children and now, 20 years on, they are on the verge of breakup. They can't quite work out what went wrong, its just they seemed to gradually move apart, and then recently George started an affair, and Joan wants him out of the house, even though the affair is over.
In their first Imago therapy session, they were guided in using Imago Dialogue, just slowing down the discussion so that each person is really heard and mirrored. George shared how he hadn't felt noticed for a long time at home, but that suddenly in this session he felt really seen and heard, particularly about his fears of being able to provide for the family through the college years, something that had been really depressing him. Joan was touched to learn that underneath George's icyness he was hiding a deep concern for their children.
A couple of weeks into the therapy, Joan and George attended an Imago Weekend Workshop for couples. The two-days felt like two-years of therapy! George was initially quite opposed to the idea that part of the work was to explore their childhood together. 'I had a great childhood - with the best parents ever. Why would that have anything to do with my relationship today?" he asked. But fairly soon he began to realize there were things he learned to value in childhood that were important for him, like the way his father would really take care of the family and provide everything they needed, and that this made him very uncomfortable if he felt that his children weren't going to be completely cared for. He had married Joan because she seemed to bring a lot of fun into their life, balancing his serious and cautious outlook. But now he found her frivolous and irresponsible at a time when he needed to save hard for the children, and this had driven them apart.
Joan continued to be touched by the underlying warmth with which George revealed his caring, and it reminded her of how much she valued her parents warmth as a child. She had missed that side of George, but at the same time wanted to fight him every inch of the way to make sure they didn't miss out on having some fun - vacations, nights out etc: She realized that her parent's had always provided a fun filled life at home, and she missed this now, with George's tight and anxious moods about money and saving.
The best part of the weekend was using the Imago dialogue, so they could each share their story with the other partner, in a way that felt so positive and affirming. That first night, they even slipped off for a romantic meal, and giggled like teenagers with the feeling of relief.
Of course there was still plenty of work to do after the workshop. People don't change overnight. But they had each learned enough about it each other to be more understanding when they found themselves clashing, or moving apart. They could fall back on the dialogue they had learned at the workshop to talk through difficult issues, and week by week move back into a place where their relationship was richer and more rewarding than they could ever remember.
The story of Harville and Helen - Imago Founders
Harville Hendrix PhD and Helen LaKelly Hunt, PhD founded Imago, and it has since spread around the world. But one of the relationships it has most strongly influenced is their own.
Much of the background theory of Imago comes from major psychological insights from Freud right through to the latest neuroscience, and much of the practical features were worked out in Harville's clinical practice. But together Harville and Helen also tell of how there were times when as they developed the principles they found that they were just what they needed.
For example, the Imago Dialogue is a process that sits at the heart of Imago, and the first step in dialogue is just to listen and mirror back. This fast-paced high-achieving couple found that this was just what they needed to build connection.
Harville often tells the story in public of when the couple decided to embrace another Imago concept - which was to eliminate shame, blame or crticism from the relationship. "We didn't have anything left to say to each other" declares Harville, to his audience. Now Imago has many ways to help couples through that critical process of building a positive connected relationship - far less brutal than the "cold turkey" process that Harville and Helen committed to when they banished all negativity from their discussions.
Like all real relationships, times can be great, and times can be more challenging. During one challenging time Harville and Helen finally made a tough decision - which was to attend one of the Imago Weekend Workshops as participants, and take their own medicine! It was a wonderful experience for them - going through a series of carefully constructed exercise which together build a romantic journey to restore the connection.

Available this week on DVD, Promised Land stars Matt Damon, who also co-produced the movie and co-wrote the screenplay. His collaborator in both roles, John Kracinski (Jim on TVs The Office), Frances McDormand, and Rosemarie De Witt round out a strong ensemble of name actors. Hal Holbrook gets a nice extended cameo to lend a little gravitas to the proceedings. The film focuses on the controversy surrounding fracking, about which process I probably dont need to say much to regular readers of this paper. Our region has been touched by the economics and environmental concerns surrounding this method of extracting natural gas from beds of shale deep under the earth.
It is just that land that provides the focus of the film. As Steve Butler, a somewhat embittered ex-Iowa farm boy, Damon brings a mixture of earnestness and worldliness to a fairly complex character. Along with his partner, single mother Sue (McDormand), he represents Global Crosspower Company, a $9 billion enterprise that is leasing up farmland on which to drill. Clad in flannels and driving an old Jeep to attempt to fit in with the locals, Steve and Sue have been so successful that hes in line for a vice-presidency. So this is, in effect, his farewell to the rural life he has all but left behind.
At a local bar, he meets schoolteacher Alice (DeWitt), gets drunk with her Steve is drinking a lot these days and thinks to have impressed her as he has her townsfolk, most of whom are drawn to the promise of money for the leases. Enter environmentalist Dustin Noble (!) (Kracinski), working for an outfit so small that Steve whose company has faced multiple lawsuits has never heard of it. Dustins story of his family farm being destroyed by drillers, his boyish affability, and his uncanny ability to foresee Steves moves gets him a date with Alice and, along with it, Steves goat.
Also lined up against Steve and Sue is high school science teacher Frank Yates (Holbrook), who is considerably more than meets the eye. Holbrook and Damon share one of the films best moments, one that could have been enlarged considerably. Instead, the movie pulls a twist on the plot and the characters that smacks so deeply of artifice that it undercuts the theme and the overall effectiveness. While not getting preachy about the issue, Promised Land ultimately fails to deliver on the promise of its star and script.
Director Gus Van Sant utilizes cinematographer Linus Sandgrens bucolic images and Danny Elfmans understated musical score deftly. This is a small film, the big topic notwithstanding, so it may not be the ticket for the average teenager: the movie is rated R primarily for language, in any case. It is a thoughtful, if not definitive movie regarding the larger issues of energy independence vs. environmental concerns.

Toxic Belief #4: I Succeed When Others Approve of Me
Regardless of what people think of you at any particular moment, one thing is certain⎯you're never as good or bad as they say you are. It's impossible to turn off your reactions to what others think of you, but you can take people's opinions with a grain of salt. That way, no matter what people think about you, your self-worth comes only from within.
Toxic Belief #5: My Past = My Future
Repeated failures can erode your self-confidence and make it hard to believe you'll achieve a better outcome in the future. Most of the time, these failures result from taking risks and trying to achieve something that isn't easy. Just remember that success lies in your ability to rise in the face of failure. Anything worth achieving is going to require you to take some risks, and you can't allow failure to stop you from believing in your ability to succeed.
Toxic Belief #6: My Emotions = Reality
If you've read Emotional Intelligence 2.0, you know how to take an objective look at your feelings and separate fact from fiction. If not, you might want to read it. Otherwise, your emotions will continue to skew your sense of reality, making you vulnerable to the negative self-talk that can hold you back from achieving your full potential.
If you can overcome the self-defeating beliefs above, you'll make great strides in improving your self-talk. Special thanks to Geoffrey James for the article concept. October 2012

Classroom Connection
Ken Burns, Norman Augustine & Cokie Roberts Join with National History Day to Call on Policy Makers to Focus on History Education
New Study Finds Students Who Participate in History Education Programs Gain 21st Century College- and Career-Readiness Skills
For Immediate Release
: May 2, 2011
: Mariam Ali: 202-777-3847, email@example.com
College Park, Md. –
As Congress and the Administration work to reauthorize the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA), supporters of National History Day (NHD), a year-long academic program focused on historical research for 6th-to 12th-grade students, today called on policymakers to place greater importance on history education programs.
In a letter sent to Congress and the Obama Administration, acclaimed filmmaker Ken Burns, former Lockheed Martin CEO Norman Augustine, and author/journalist Cokie Roberts made the case for a greater focus on history in pending legislation to reauthorize ESEA. On a conference call with reporters Burns and Augustine pointed to a new study by Rockman, et al, which finds students who participate in NHD become better writers and critical thinkers, and learn 21st century college- and career-readiness skills they can take into the competitive workforce.
"Those of us who work with National History Day students have witnessed firsthand that history education does not just help students achieve academically, it prepares them for life," said NHD's Executive Director Cathy Gorn, Ph.D. "I am proud to stand with some of America's most distinguished leaders from the worlds of business, media and the arts in calling on our political leaders to guarantee history is not left behind."
According to a Job Outlook 2011 survey conducted by the National Association of Colleges and Employment (NACE), employers look for skills such as verbal communication, ability to collaborate with peers and time management in their future employees.
"To be successful in today's competitive workplace, we need to teach students communication skills and the ability to work in teams," said Norman Augustine, former CEO of Lockheed Martin. "History education and the National History Day program give students the skills to succeed far beyond the study of history—which in itself is important."
"What an incredible, compelling way to get kids excited about education, research and the mechanics of storytelling," said Ken Burns, award-winning documentary filmmaker. "The skills that students take from history education and the NHD program are ones they will carry with them throughout their lives."
The study conducted by Rockman, et al found students who participate in the NHD program outperform their peers on state standardized tests in multiple subjects, including reading, science, math and social studies. In addition, the study also found that Black and Hispanic NHD students posted higher performance assessment scores than their peers by a margin of two to one.
The study found NHD is successful because it applies a research-based methodology, specifically engaging students in rigorous research, connecting teacher practice and instruction to student achievement, and providing students and teachers career-ready skills they can use outside the classroom.
"Students have always told us how much they loved their NHD experience and how it has changed their life, both in their academics and their careers. History not only teaches students about the stories of our past, but it is vital to creating a generation of young people who can apply these lessons to the future," said Cokie Roberts, journalist, author and political commentator.
The group concluded that without history and civics education, students will not be equipped with these foundational skills, which are needed to compete in the global marketplace. Schools across the country are decreasing instructional hours devoted to history and civics. History education programs are effective in teaching critical thinking, writing and research skills that prepare students for college, career and participatory citizenship. This is why history education needs to be applied across the system, so we can continue to create the next generation of leaders and engaged citizens.
About National History Day
National History Day (NHD) is a year-long academic organization for elementary and secondary school students. Each year, more than half a million students, encouraged by thousands of teachers nationwide participate in the NHD contest. Students choose historical topics related to a theme and conduct extensive primary and secondary research through libraries, archives, museums, oral history interviews and historic sites. After analyzing and interpreting their sources and drawing conclusions about their topics' significance in history, students present their work in original papers, websites, exhibits, performances and documentaries. These products are entered into competitions in the spring, at local, state and national levels where they are evaluated by professional historians and educators. The program culminates in a national competition each June held at the University of Maryland at College Park. Visit www.nhd.org.

This paper explores the verification of DSP and communication system Systems-on-Chip (SoC's) using a typical signal processing system subsystem - in this case a very large parallel digital FIR filter - using MATLABTM from The MathWorks in an interoperable manner with a very high performance emulation system. The results are presented here using Mentor Graphics' Veloce emulator and its TestBench Xpress (TBX) SceMi2.0 compliant transaction-based hardware acceleration application. The complete verification system architecture consists of a testbench comprised primarily of MATLAB calls made from a SystemC main program to an "engine" provided by The MathWorks. This engine is a separate process created at system initialization time by the SystemC program, and all but the design DUT and three transactors run on the Veloce host computer. Data is sourced and retrieved to and from the engine via calls made available in the engine's API. The data is created, processed, and displayed via string passing calls made from the SystemC to the engine. These strings are identical to MATLAB commands that are expected in the normal MATLAB console application. The signal stimulus provided by the testbench/MATLAB sub-system is delivered to the DUT via SystemVerilog DPI transactors running within TBX. Likewise, response vectors from the DUT are returned via another transactor to the testbench and the MATLAB engine for post-processing and display.

Chinese Studies at UCLA: Highlights of the Progam
The program has had great diversity for the study of post-1949 China, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. Richard Baum and James Tong specialize in contemporary Chinese politics in the Department of Political Science; Nancy Levine on Tibet and Yunxiang Yan on China in Anthropology; Cameron Campbell in Sociology; Philip Huang in contemporary legal, social and economic history; Theodore Huters, Shu-mei Shih, and Richard Strassberg in literature; Cindy Fan in Geography; Helen Rees in Ethnomusicology; and Randall Peerenboom and Arthur Rosett in the Law School.
With Theodore Huters, David Schaberg, Shu-mei Shih, and Richard Strassberg, UCLA is a major center for the study of Chinese literature in all periods: classical literary criticism (Schaberg), traditional fiction and drama (Richard Strassberg), and modern and contemporary literature (Huters, Shih). The faculty's wide-ranging interests and expertise in literary and cultural studies, and in intellectual history provide an important resource for graduate training. John Duncan and Peter H. Lee provide additional faculty strength in the comparative study of Korean literature and history, as do Seiji Lippit, Michael F. Marra, and Herbert Plutschow in Japanese literature and history. In addition, students benefit from the concentration of faculty in the southern California area for the comparative study of Chinese literature.
Hui-shu Lee in the Department of Art History lends the program strength in the history of Chinese painting, later Chinese art, and comparative art history. Providing a comparative perspective are Burglind Jungmann in Korean art history, Ronald L. Brown in Southeast Asian art history, and Donald McCallum in Japanese art history.
The recent addition of Hongyin Tao provides the program with a specialist in linguistics and the history of the Chinese language.
The graduate program in Chinese history includes four faculty members in the Department of History: Kathryn Bernhardt work on social, legal, and women's history from 1500; Philip Huang concentrates on the social, economic, and legal history of the same period; and Richard von Glahn works in the social, cultural, and economic history of China from 1000 to 1800. Students may also take a field or courses with faculty at nearby institutions. The faculty in Chinese studies works especially closely with outstanding faculty at UCLA in related fields, including Fred Notehelfer, Herman Ooms, Miriam Silverberg, and Sharon Traweek in Japanese history; John Duncan in Korean history; and George Dutton, Vinay Lal, Geoffrey Robinson, and Michael Salman in South and Southeast Asian history.
Robert Buswell, William Bodiford, Gregory Shoppen, and Jonathan Silk in the East Asian Languages and Cultures Department provide guidance for the study of the Chinese, Indian, Japanese, and Korean Buddhist traditions. Hung-hsiang Chou works in Chinese archaeology and epigraphy. Lothar von Falkenhausen offers special strength in archaeology and art history, and David Schaberg combines a mastery of ancient classical and historical texts with expertise in comparative literature.

Police are asking for the public's help in finding the second suspect in a robbery that was orchestrated to look like a car accident.
According to investigators, the victim is a gas station owner who was heading to the bank to make a cash deposit.
Police said 24-year-old Dale Campbell and a second suspect pulled up behind the victim and intentionally bumped his car.
The victim told police he decided to pull over because he thought it was a fender-bender.
Next, the two suspects showed a gun and demanded cash, police said.
Police said Campbell beat up the victim in the middle of the street, only stopping when he saw a Pearland police officer drive up.
That's when the second suspect drove away.
Meanwhile, Campbell ran away on foot with the cash and was arrested for aggravated robbery after a short pursuit, police said.
Lt. Onesimo Lopez with the Pearland Police Department described what the officer saw.
"It was technically not in Pearland, but he was just driving on the beltway, exited the beltway got on the feeder, and as he drove up he saw two people fighting in the middle of the road," said Lopez.
Part of the fight was captured by the dashcam in the responding officer's vehicle, police said.

Hilarious: Jon Stewart Eviscerates the Senate Banking Committee for Kissing Jamie Dimon's A$$
Yesterday on the Daily Show, Jon Stewart eviscerated the Senate Banking Committee's ridiculous JP Morgan hearing, where Republican legislators praised Jamie Dimon so hard they even asked him for legislative advice. As Stewart notes, the Committee has a lot to gain from sucking up to Dimon, with JP Morgan being largest donor and all.

Tomlin on the Patriots
Tomlin on the Patriots
Posted 15 hours ago Coach Mike Tomlin takes a look at this weeks opponent the New England Patriots. Q. What makes Tom Brady so special? A. Hes extremely talented, both physically and mentally. I think everyone knows that hes an extremely smart guy. His physical skills are very underrated. He moves very well in the pocket, hes got a quick release, hes got a strong arm, and hes highly accurate maybe the most accurate man in football. Q. What about the on-field relationship he has developed with wide receiver Wes Welker? A. Hes got a great rapport with Welker, sure, but hes developing a great rapport with Rob Gronkowski and Aaron Hernandez. The list goes on and on, whether were talking about the past or the present. Daniel Graham and Ben Watson and Randy Moss hes had a great rapport with just about everybody he has worked with, and I think that just speaks to him. Q. How do you slow Tom Brady down? A. We have to do a nice job on the pieces around him. We have to disrupt routes, we have to stay close to receivers, and of course we have to beat offensive linemen and apply pressure to him. Q. Because Welker lines up in the slot so much, will he see a lot of Ike Taylor? A. Hes going to see some of Ike. Were going to pick our spots, take our shots with that. We understand that Ike is a weapon of ours, but we also understand that hes a little out of his comfort zone sometimes inside. Well pick our spots, and hopefully itll be situational football and be a winner for us. Q. What makes Welker so good? A. Hes got great rapport with his quarterback, but its not only that. This guy has a great understanding of defenses, specifically coverages. Hes very adept at breaking down man-to-man with his quickness, but he does an awesome job and is underrated in his ability to settle in zones and find open areas. Q. How does the New England offensive line keep Brady so clean? A. Brady helps them, first and foremost, because you cant trick him. He knows where unblocked guys are coming from and hes very good at getting the ball out. But they work very well together, in concert, and very rarely are there unblocked people. They communicate well. More Here: http://www.steelers.com/news/article...c-da656303cfeb

Ceaseless prayer has always been an intriguing characteristic of the believer. Praying together as a Body and covering the clock in prayer for 168 hours continuously in the period of one week has often begun to clearly draw just one picture of what ceaseless prayer looks like. The advantage of 24/7 prayer is that you are, indeed, achieving the Body of Christ and its connectedness as you pray, sharing in the privilege of petitions to God as well as growing your own spiritual prayer discipline at the same time.
24/7 prayer is a walk of faith. It is making the commitment as a congregation to come to a specific location for the express purpose of prayer and experiencing how God, not only helps to supply the prayer people to stretch their prayer abilities, but the Holy Spirit meets those same people with a new vision of Who He is and gives new life to them in that time of prayer.
• Do you want to experience the power of God involving your whole congregation?
• Are there spiritual battles going on outside the walls of your corps? Have some of those battles crept inside the door?
• Do you long for a more vibrant prayer life for yourself? For your corps?
The 24/7 prayer event in your corps can make all the difference in your personal walk with the Lord. And when you do this in agreement with others the results are astonishing. You are not only working together as a team, but you are working with a Team that knows NO Defeat - the Triune God.
The 24/7 prayer movement is an international, interdenominational network of prayer which has grown from a single prayer room in England and now impacting over 60 nations in less than 10 years. This amazing movement in prayer is putting Christ-centered, mission minded prayer back in the heart of communities around the world and we invite you to share in this amazing power of prayer.
• Establish a time for your congregation to take on round the clock prayer.• Select a space that will be used exclusively for your time of prayer.• Create a sign up system for people to see where they can select their time to pray. Some groups have used a large bulletin board in hour long increments for people to insert their names. Others have used 'day captains' to assemble the prayer people for a 24 hour period. Still others have used a sign-up on a web based system.• Have a group set up the prayer room according to the context of your congregation (i.e., seating, lighting, materials, prayer stations, etc., may all differ depending on each individual congregation).• If security is an issue during the late evening and early morning hours, you may opt to have monitors for your building or have people designated to pray off site.• Involve all age groups to have input into the building of the pray room.• Have groups to pray for a block of time (i.e., a youth group, a sunbeam troupe, a senior's club).• Be sure to include materials such as Bibles, Hymnals and Songbooks. Other materials might reflect your tastes such as candles, a writing wall, and themes as in prayer stations with issues for specific prayer focus.• For those who are new to this discipline, you may want to include instructional information about prayer so that this becomes an even greater learning experience.• You may wish to include a place where people can write about their experiences, such as a testimony page, as these will be an encouragement to the people who follow in prayer.
What is most important is that there are no two prayer rooms alike because your congregation is as unique as you are, so, be sure that your room reflects the needs of your corps Body.

WHAT IT MEANS: Our society has come to associate women in red with beauty, and previous research has confirmed the fact that men find women in red more attractive. After all, why else would the song "Lady in Red" be so popular? This latest set of experiments shows that the reverse is also true, most likely for a number of reasons. First, red is associated with status and power, and has been for centuries. In ancient cultures, red conveyed a sense of prosperity and status, and it's still a sign of prestige today—take the red carpet at awards shows, for instance. Biological factors also play a role. In primates, alpha males boast the largest and most intense displays of red, and females tend to mate with them more because they offer protection and resources. "When women see red it triggers something deep and probably biologically ingrained," explains study coauthor Andrew Elliot, PhD, professor of psychology at the University of Rochester. "We say in our culture that men act like animals in the sexual realm, and it looks like women may be acting like animals as well."
But wearing red doesn't automatically mean an end to lonely Friday nights. In the latest study, women found men wearing red to be more attractive, but they did not find them any more likable, kind, or sociable than men in other colors. So just being your good old self may be a better way to score a date. You can throw on a red shirt for good measure.
Here are some other rules of attraction to consider:
• Love is personal.
Immediate chemistry is real, but it differs vastly for everyone. While some people are immediately drawn to Amazons, another might prefer a guy with a big head or a woman with a gap in her teeth. If you get rejected by your next instant crush, don't take it personally.
• Look for your reflection.
You probably know a few couples who look alike, literally. Relationships experts say we're attracted to things that are familiar to us, physically and emotionally. So you might be drawn to someone that looks like you or your family members.
• Smile. It improves your profile.
Someone smiling back at you provides instant positive feedback, and that's something many of us cannot resist. So whether you're hunting for a mate at the local coffee shop or picking a photo for your online dating profile, make sure you're wearing a smile, along with your favorite red shirt.

Poor photomosaic maker
Creates frustration with confusing mosaic-making software.
Creating a photomosaic is a great way to combine a lot of pictures into one collage. AndreaMosaic promises users a program that promises to make mosaics simpler and easier to create. However, attempting to use this program proves otherwise.
This freeware program has an interface that immediately looks like making a mosaic will be easy. A simple menu at the top lets users select pictures, which appear in the right two-thirds of the screen. A column along the left hand side showcases the size of the picture, number of tiles, tile duplication, and a few other variables. At the bottom of the screen, there are buttons that let users create mosaics, select tiles, or look at other options.
This is where AndreaMosaic stops feeling easy, though. Trying to create a mosaic takes you to a screen that asks you to select tiles. Here you can open folders, save folders, and open archives. This felt redundant because we just opened a series of pictures on the opening screen. However, none of the images from the first screen turned up in the list of pictures that can be used as tiles. It turns out that the program only supports AndreaMosaic's file style, .amc. No amount of searching and experimenting told us how to convert pictures into this format, so we were never able to get past the first step.
This download does have an impressive help option that gives definitions upon rolling the mouse over anything. However, it didn't give us the answers were looking for, and without having the capability to change the image format into the program's proprietary format, there's little point in downloading this tool.

Decree--Preliminary decree--Decree passed in a suit for specific performance of contract of sale of immovable property calling upon the purchaser to deposit the balance of consideration within the time stipulated in decree with superadded condition that in the event of default, the suit would be dismissed is not a preliminary decree. Limitation Act (36 of 1963), Section 5--Condonation of delay--Amendment of decree--Decree in a suit for specific performance of contract for the sale of immovable property calling upon the purchaser to deposit balance of consideration within the time stipulated in decree--order extending time to deposit the balance of consideration would not result in amending the decree. Specific Relief Act (47 of 1963), Section 16(b) and (c)--Specific performance of contract--Decree for specific performance refused.
purchased a decree for specific performance should not be refused is not always correct and again it depends on the facts of each case. [850 G-H] Williams v. Greatrex. [1956] All. E.R. 705 quoted with approval. 2. (a) In a suit for specific performance of contract for sale of immovable property it is incumbent upon the Plaintiff to affirmatively establish that all throughout he or she, as the case; may be, was willing to perform his or her part of the contract, and that the failure on the part of the plaintiff to perform the contract or willingness to perform her part of the contract may in an appropriate case disentitle her to relief, one such situation being where there is inordinate delay on the part of the plaintiff to perform his or her part of the contract. [849 B-C] (b) The question whether relief of specific performance of the, contract for the purchase of immovable property should be granted or not always depends on the facts and circumstances of each case and the Court would not grant such a relief if it gives the plaintiff an unfair advantage over the defendant
which the plaintiff desired to purchase. [849 D-H, 850 E-F] (d) The High Court was justified in refusing the decree for specific performance of the contract, on the ground that while the defendant did everything within her power to meet the requests made by the plaintiff, the latter avoided performing her part of the contract under one or the other pretext.[850 F-G] (e) The contract was to be completed by April 1956. It was not completed till 1957, even though the defendant after satisfying the queries of the plaintiff fixed different dates on different occasions calling upon the plaintiff to complete the transaction. Thereafter the plaintiff filed a suit. The suit was decreed on 30th April 1962. The Plaintiff by that decree was called upon to deposit the balance of consideration within 30 days of the date of the decree. She did not deposit the amount by the stipulated date. She asked for extension of time. In fact, it prominently appeared that the plaintiff put off performing her part of the contract presumably because she had not the necessary wherewithals to take the conveyance when she could be obliged to pay the balance of consideration
plaintiff filed the suit for a decree for 'specific performance of the contract alleging that even though she 'is ready and willing to perform her part of the contract the defendant No. 1 has not completed the transaction and, therefore, a decree for specific performance should be made in favour of the plaintiff. In this suit she impleaded vendor defendant No. I and her son Hrishikesh Das as defendant No. 2. The suit was resisted by the defendants, inter alia, contending that the plaintiff was not ready and willing to perform her part of the contract more particularly saying that the vendor was in urgent need of money to pay off the mortgage debt and, therefore, she had entered into contract for sale of property and that time was of the essence of the contract and yet the plaintiff under one or the other false pretext put off performing her part of the contract so that the vendor was compelled to sell another valuable property bearing No. 86-A, Rash Behari Avenue, Calcutta. The trial Court after an elaborate examination of the evidence decreed the suit on 30th April 1962 directing "defendant No. 1 to execute and register a deed
