The purpose of this project is to explore the potential value and practicality of an innovative depression intervention for young people. More specifically, the objectives of this project are:
to pilot the Internet-based Spirituality Program with depressed young people (age 13-24) in Calgary by:
- obtaining preliminary estimates on the impact of the program on depression severity, response rates and remission rates to guide sample size estimations for a full size randomized trial.
- evaluating if the suggested research methodology is feasible with respect to recruitment rate, patient burden and clinical implementation to guide design of a full size randomized trial.
- to gather feedback from depressed young people, their families and referral sources in the community (schools, family physicians, mental health outpatient services) on the perceived value of the program and on ways to eventually make it available as a community resource for others dealing with depression.

Other: Internet-based spirituality teaching program
In collaboration with experts from Alberta Health Services, the University of Calgary, and Mount Royal University, the Canadian Institute of Natural and Integrative Medicine (CINIM) has created an Internet-based Depression treatment program for young people(see Appendix for sample materials). It is a self-study, e-learning based program that is delivered over eight weeks requiring a weekly commitment of 2-3 hours. The program is non-denominational and avoids a focus on any religious traditions. The program aims to treat depression by guiding depressed young people through an exploration of spiritual concepts and principles that are presented in 8 modules.
Detailed Description:
Depression in adolescents and young adults is a prevalent illness in Canada and presents a high burden for those affected and their families. In Canada, depressive disorders are on the rise and their onset is occurring earlier in life. There is a growing body of evidence suggesting that spiritual wellness may play a role in depression recovery. Considering the limitations of available treatments for depression and the significant burden of the disease there is a need for new treatment options that are safe, effective, affordable and acceptable to young people. Our previous research gives strong support to the idea of using a spiritually based intervention for depression. To our knowledge, no research has been conducted on using spirituality as a self-study intervention in the management of depression in young adults. Over the last two years our team has created a spirituality-based intervention program for adolescent depression. The program could present an innovative and low cost treatment option for young patients with major depression.

The U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) provides Section 8 rent subsidies to families with low income in the form of Housing Choice Vouchers and Project Based Units. The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) administers the program in the City of Minneapolis. MPHA pays rent subsidies directly to rental property owners on behalf of eligible families.
Section 8 HCV Benefits Participants:
The Section 8 HCV Programs offers financial assistance for rental housing to low income families. The rental assistance provides opportunities to low income families by partnering with owners of existing housing units. This opportunity enables families the affordability to rent all housing types throughout the city, thus avoiding a concentration of assisted housing.
Section 8 HCV Benefits Property Owners:
The Minneapolis Public Housing Authority (MPHA) guarantees owners a portion of the rent through the participant's rental assistance. The intent of the program is to lessen the burden on the family's budget for housing costs, helping them to better afford their rental payment. This results in more consistent, timely and full payments to owners. Additionally, periodic inspection of the unit helps to alert owners of required and/or recommended repairs.
Program Descriptions
Several programs exist within MPHA's Section 8 HCV to maximize the opportunity of receiving a Housing Choice Voucher. These include
Families on the FSS program work towards self-sufficiency by building employment skills
Housing search resources are available to applicants who qualify and agree to move to a non-concentrated area within the City of Minneapolis and agree to live there for a certain amount of time.
Homeless veterans can receive housing resources and housing search counseling in a program jointly administered by the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Department of Housing and Urban Development.
MPHA has been awarded vouchers to administer a Family Unification Program, which assists families for whom the lack of adequate housing is a primary factor in the separation, or threat of imminent separation, of children from their families or in the prevention of reunifying the children with their families.
The history of the Section 8 HCV program can be found on MPHA's History page.

TPG sees land of opportunity in NBN
PUBLISHED: 20 Mar 2012 09:34:00 | UPDATED: 21 Mar 2012 06:19:04PUBLISHED: 21 Mar 2012 PRINT EDITION: 21 Mar 2012John McDuling
Enigmatic entrepreneur David Teoh has declared his company TPG Telecom can rip market share away from Telstra once the national broadband network levels the industry playing field.
Mr Teoh shrugged off concerns about saturation in broadband subscriptions, saying TPG was excited about life under the NBN.
"We see a lot of opportunities there and a lot of growth in the future," he told The Australian Financial Review in a rare interview.
"In the NBN world, our market size increases into the regional areas . . . and if you look at TPG our cost of doing business is quite low compared to our competitors [because of] the products and infrastructure that we own."
TPG's executive chairman was speaking after delivering another half year of double-digit earnings growth for investors, with the company reporting net profit of $55.7 million for the six months to January, up 65 per cent on the previous corresponding period.
TPG raised its interim dividend 22 per cent to 2.75¢ a share.
For many investors, TPG is the antithesis of Telstra, with Mr Teoh famously avoiding the limelight and having a reputation for ruthlessness on costs. But these qualities have convinced a growing number of fund managers that TPG will be perfectly positioned to undercut the incumbent under the NBN.
The shareholder register currently features Washington H Soul Pattinson, Paradice Investment Management, Perpetual Investments and Macquarie Funds Management.
Mr Teoh, a softly spoken, Malaysian-born businessman who moved to Australia in 1986, declined to be photographed for the AFR.
Through a series of acquisitions – most recently PIPE Networks for $373 million in 2010 – and persistent organic growth he has transformed TPG from a computer accessories supplier into a $1.2 billion S&P/ASX 200 constituent.
In doing so, he has won respect and admiration from the investment community and struck fear into the hearts of rival telco executives.
"He's quite a humble entrepreneurial man," Perpetual Investments portfolio manager Jack Collopy said.
"He's not an amazing salesman who will knock your shoes off but his track record and the business he has built is what makes him so impressive."
Last year TPG Telecom built a 7.2 per cent stake in Perth-based internet service provider iiNet, triggering frenzied speculation about a takeover, which analysts said would be highly accretive to earnings and create a new force in broadband second only to Telstra.
But Mr Teoh was tight-lipped about the investment.
"We did make a statement to the ASX. It's a strategic investment, and we keep to those lines. We can't say much about it actually," he said.
Since TPG made its move, iiNet has taken on more debt to acquire privately held provider Internode for $105 million. Since then speculation about a deal with TPG has died down, at least for the time being, with analysts believing Mr Teoh is unlikely to be comfortable raising the amount of equity needed to fund a takeover.
To deliver the kind of premium iiNet founder Michael Malone would deem acceptable, he would dilute TPG's share price and undermine the object of the entire exercise, they say.
TPG has also been loosely linked with beleaguered mobile carrier Vodafone Hutchison Australia in investment banking circles. The two companies have some complementary characteristics moving into a world where bundling of telecommunications services is becoming more important. Both use prices as their primary competitive tool.
Vodafone has no fixed-line presence but has committed to adding one under the NBN, trialing the service in Kiama and Armidale. In contrast, TPG is a comparatively small player in mobiles.
But Mr Teoh scoffed at suggestions of any form of deal between the two companies. He said there have been "no discussions at all" with Vodafone, which lost about $350 million in 2011.
Mr Teoh said TPG's mobile business, which does not offer handsets, was "picking up" with "good momentum". The company added 21,000 mobile customers during the half, bringing its mobile subscriber base to 222,000.
During the half, which incorporates the relatively quiet Christmas period, TPG added 19,000 broadband customers, just shy of a forecast for 21,000 additions by Macquarie analyst Andrew Levy.
This pushed its total broadband subscriber base up to 567,000 customers – keeping it in fourth place behind Telstra, Optus and iiNet.
The gains were driven by ongoing strength in its ADSL2+ and home phone bundles, which offset declines in standalone subscriptions. Broadband revenues increased 14.6 per cent to $162.5 million, with average revenues per user edging up to $47.40.
The group's earnings before interest, tax, depreciation and amortisation for the half year rose 17 per cent to $131.9 million, tracking the company's full-year guidance for EBITDA of between $250 million and $260 million.
"It was an excellent result," Mr Collopy said. "They don't stand still. It's probably a reflection of management always trying to add value for consumers and offer them more for less.
"They are putting together a fairly impressive track record."
TPG announced it would soon launch an innovative, cloud-based video surveillance system targeted at small business customers and offered free on all plans worth $69 or more a month. It will also soon launch a business VoIP service on 18-month contracts.
Mr Teoh said the company would add sporting content to its internet protocol televion (IPTV) service and had more products on the way.
"There will be more products coming out. So it's quite compelling, what we are offering customers, and we still expect our growth to keep going and be very strong," he said.
The company has been relatively quiet on the regulatory issues besetting the telecommunications industry and often aggravates its rivals.
But Mr Teoh said he would welcome any moves by regulators to free up access to sporting content on a wholesale level to promote competition in IPTV services, particularly if Foxtel's $1.9 billion takeover of Austar United Communications proceeds.
"On the content side, if it can be opened up it would be good for the industry and good for consumers," he said.
He would also welcome any review of NBN Co's controversial volume-based charges, which were criticised by Austar chief executive John Porter last week.
"The cost is quite high at $20 per megabit per second. If they can get it down that would be good for the consumer. Whatever they can do to keep costs down would be good for consumers," Mr Teoh said.
TPG believes it is well positioned to compete under the NBN. It already owns fibre linking up to two-thirds of the NBN's 121 points of interconnect around the country. It can use fibre on its existing network or use its scale to acquire low-cost backhaul.
But Mr Teoh is unlikely to rest on his laurels. "We are comfortable but we have still got a fair bit to do on our side," he said.

KSU hangs on to beat UMKC
Published on -12/30/2012, 6:52 AM
Printer-friendly version
E-Mail This Story
Special to The Hays Daily News
MANHATTAN – The danger of a Florida hangover was real enough.
Throw in a series of health and travel mishaps and the Kansas State Wildcats were living on the edge.
The No. 25-ranked Wildcats, coming off a signature victory over Florida seven days earlier, displayed none of the same spark
Saturday night against UMKC but still hung on for a 52-44 victory against the Kangaroos at Bramlage Coliseum.
"Since the Florida game, probably everything that could go wrong probably went wrong," K-State coach Bruce Weber said after bad weather delayed several players' return from Christmas break and injuries took guards Angel Rodriguez and Martavious Irving out of the lineup. "It's still a good win.
"You would think turning them over 19 times and getting 19 offensive rebounds that the score would be a bigger margin, but sometimes you've got to win in different ways and we won with defense tonight."
The Wildcats shot just 32.1 percent from the field and 51.6 percent from the foul line but held UMKC in check at the other end and never trailed in the game. The Kangaroos shot 33.3 percent and missed all five of its 3-point attempts in the second half.
K-State had just one full practice Thursday and a walk-through Friday to get ready for the 'Roos. Rodriguez has tendonitis in his foot and Irving's knee locked up in practice on Friday.
"It's not an excuse," said guard Rodney McGruder, who was stranded in Chicago trying to get back to Manhattan. "Coach always talks about situations like that where guys can't play, we we've prepared for situations like this.
"We could have played better."
McGruder led the Wildcats with 17 points and Thomas Gipson had 13 points and six rebounds in just 24 minutes. Thomas Staton came off the bench to score 13 points for UMKC.
The combined 96 points tied for the fewest in a K-State game during the Big 12 era, equaling a 50-46 victory at Iowa State in 2009.
The Wildcats won 67-61 last week against a Florida team that led the nation in defense.
"We have to guard," Weber said. "We're good at it, and I think we showed last week that if we play at the right level we can be OK offensively – enough to win."
The Wildcats also hit the boards in the second half as the offense went south. After UMKC outrebounded them 21-16 in the first half, they bounced back with a 24-15 advantage after the break for a final 40-36 margin.
"They're one of the best rebounding teams in the country and their physicality wore us down at the end," UMKC coach Matt Brown said. "I am proud of my team and disappointed.
"We had a chance to beat a top 25 team at their place."
The 'Roos got 16 rebounds from Fred Chatmon, who also scored nine points.
UMKC, which trailed 25-21 at the half, had a chance to pull within a point with 8:20 to play, down 37-34, when center Brad Reid drove the lane and dunked. But the basket was waved off when Nino Williams stepped in and drew a charging call. The Kangaroos got no closer than three the rest of the way.
"I was just help side and I saw him rolling to the basket and that was my help (assignment) so I just stepped over," said Williams, who finished with eight points and a team-high 13 rebounds.
After Chatmon's rebound basket cut K-State's lead to 39-36 with 4:10 left, the Wildcats took control with six straight points to go up nine on McGruder's basket in the lane at the 2:18 mark.
K-State shot just 31 percent from the field in the first half and lost the rebounding battle, but led by four thanks to 14 turnovers.
The Wildcats shot well early, grabbing a 20-9 lead on Omari Lawrence's two free throws with 10:57 left in the first half. But they missed their next eight field goal attempts and 14 of 16 to close out the half as UMKC finished the period with a 12-5 run.
K-State has one more non-conference tuneup Monday with a 1 p.m. home game against South Dakota before opening Big 12 play with Oklahoma State on Jan. 5 at Bramlage.

MEDFORD, Ore. — The University of Oregon is partnering with the city of Medford and the impact might be felt throughout the next year.
This is the fourth year of the project which selects a city in Oregon for students to focus on ways to improve sustainability. Past cities include Gresham, Salem and Springfield, and officials say this year Medford beat out Bend, Beaverton and Portland.
University officials say beginning next academic school year, more than 400 students will spend more than 60,000 hours on projects that enhance livability, conserve resources and generate economic development.
23 projects have been proposed and which project will specifically be taken on are unknown at this time. City officials say the partnership provides and exciting opportunity to hear fresh ideas of city improvement.
"We're looking forward to the future and to really, to address the needs of citizens, make this a more livable community. It already is livable, but improve on that," said Medford Planning Director Jim Huber.
University officials say the partnership gives students "real-world" experience that can be used to better communities in the state. University officials say since the "sustainable cities initiative" began a few years ago, it has gained national attention and universities in other states are starting similar programs.
The project will be a year-long partnership with project work taking place primarily in eugene classrooms during the 2013 to 2014 school year.

The primary mission of the 189th Engineer Team (Asphalt) is to build and maintain roads and airfields in a combat environment.
To hone their skills at this year's AT, they transformed a patch of dirt into a paved parking lot at the new shoot house, patched the parking lot at the post maintenance facility and filled various potholes on Camp Edwards, April 30, 2009.
In previous years the unit concentrated on heavy construction equipment training, however, this year the Soldiers laid asphalt. Sgt. 1st Class David Dixon, the construction equipment supervisor with the 189th said, "This is the first time that they have laid asphalt. The Soldiers don't actually lay asphalt at engineer school so paving parking lots and fixing potholes is good training for them."
"Sgt. Bryan Ebbs was the only Soldier in the unit who had any prior experience with asphalt and he taught his fellow Soldiers the tricks of the trade," said Dixon.
Soldiers learned that there was a lot more to asphalting than just operating equipment. "It takes a lot of hands-on work with shovels and lutes to make sure that there will be no low spots in the asphalt and that all the seems are rolled out level. Asphalting is an art; once the asphalt is rolled there is no way to correct any mistakes," said Dixon.
The team is mostly made up of heavy construction equipment operators and asphalt equipment operators but they also have some support personnel that get their hands dirty. Pvt. Javier Maria, a human resources specialist attached to the 189th learned how to operate asphalt equipment. Maria said, "It's good hands on experience, I like it better than PowerPoint."
While the team pounded the pavement flat, heavy equipment operators traveled to and from a local supplier in Falmouth to pick up loads of asphalt. The unit's labor intensive task was not just hard on the Soldiers but also on the moving parts of their equipment.
Staff Sgt. Troy A. Knowles, senior construction equipment repairer, attached to the 189th has been getting his hands dirty fixing trucks and heavy equipment for the Guard for more than 14 years. Knowles said, "The operational tempo creates a lot of work for us, there is a lot of wear and tear on the equipment but it's stemmed because they know the limits of the equipment and perform user level maintenance."
"The soldiers worked hard and had an outstanding annual training, we look forward to doing this again," said Dixon.
The 189th might only get the chance to lay asphalt once-a-year but Camp Edwards will benefit from the projects they complete for many years to come.

Walhalla scored a goal in each half on the way to a 2-0 home win over Andrew Jackson in the Class AA Upper State playoffs on Thursday night.
The loss ended AJ's season at 15-6.
The match was the final contest for AJ boys coach Randy Jordan who is moving to USCL to work with the Lancers' soccer program as the girls' coach.
Jordan has already signed Lady Vols' soccer standout Rachael Dippel to play at USCL in the fall.
A host of Lancaster County athletes turned in solid performances at the state track meet at Lower Richland High School over the weekend.
Indian Land High Lady Warriors Mariah Williams and Lindsay Johnson each posted a third-place in their events.
Williams was third in the 100 hurdles with a 17.63 effort. An IL sophomore, Williams ran a 17.4 to place first in the Upper State qualifier.
Williams was seventh in the high jump with a 4-10 showing. Johnson was third in the long jump with a 16-2 performance.
KERSHAW Andrew Jackson High School girls' senior soccer player Rachael Dippel doesn't receive as much attention for her solid defensive play, but the notice is enough to propel her to the next level.
Dippel, a two-sport standout at AJ, recently joined the University of South Carolina at Lancaster women's soccer program as a Lancers signee.
Randy Jordan, who will lead the Lancers' women's program, signed Dippel in the AJ media center on May 6.
RICHBURG Buford battled to the finish, but the Jackets fell short in an 8-5 season-ending loss to Lewisville on Wednesday night at the Lions' field.
The Jackets' three-run loss foiled their hopes of a Class A Upper State baseball championship. Lewisville advances to face Chesterfield today, needing to defeat the host Rams twice to move to the Class A state title series next week.
Andy Hodges took over the No. 7 Country's Race Team in 2007 when Rooster Ghant left the crate late model team. Jerry "Country" and Valerie Strickland, the car owners, make sure the crew is always dressed with racing-style uniforms. They have raced Lancaster Speedway since the 2004 inception of the crate late model division.
Buford High School senior golfer Trevor Banks used some sage advice to capture a second straight state medalist championship on Tuesday afternoon.
Banks, who shot a 77 in the opening round of the Class A state golf tournament at the Wellman Club in Johnsonville, said his putting needed to quickly improve to have a shot at the individual state title for a second straight season.
Banks' solution was to sleep with his putter Monday night.
Dee Jones, off the bat, has established himself as a player known for firsts in the University of South Carolina at Lancaster baseball program.
Jones, in the Lancers' first-ever baseball game, notched the program's first hit, first run and first home run.
Jones' solid play throughout the Lancers' season has landed him another USCL diamond first.
Jones, who played baseball at Spartanburg High School, is the first recipient of the Matt Blackwell Foundation Player's Player Award.
Landrum opened the Class A Upper State softball championship series with a 3-0 home win over Buford on Saturday.
The Lady Cardinals cruised to the shutout, allowing only four hits.
The Lady Jackets were led by Jena Hallman, Jordan Boone, Hannah Knight and Kayla Lloyd, who had one hit each.
Landrum advances in the winner's bracket to face the Indian Land-McBee winner on Monday.
Buford, 20-9, will seek to stay alive as the Lady Jackets meet the loser of the opening round game between Indian Land and McBee on Monday.
Buford was down, but not out in the Class A Upper State baseball championship series Monday night in an elimination game with Landrum High School at Buford Park.
Landrum, up 7-2 and six outs away from advancing, saw Buford charge in its final two at-bats to pull out a thrilling 8-7 win and advance in the Class A Upper State title tournament. The win sends BHS, 13-11, to face Lewisville in a 6 p.m. elimination game today.
The winner faces Chesterfield on Friday, needing two wins to take the Class A Upper State championship and a bid to the state title game.
The Lady Bruins are in and set to compete in the Class AAAA girls Upper State soccer playoffs.
A week ago, the LHS girls felt they had just missed out to Rock Hill High School for the final bid to the postseason tournament.
A recheck of the tie-breaker rules had the LHS girls getting the bid over the Lady Bearcats.
Lancaster and Rock Hill split during the regular-season, but the Lady Bruins played more matches and totaled more points with the Class AAAA playoff tie-breaker.

15 Steps: Farm-to-Fork at Eden Roc Miami Beach
Like a phoenix, 15 Steps rose out of 1500 Degrees' hot ashes. The farm-to-table restaurant transitioned quietly from its former identity in the fall of 2013, with an official opening and name change in early December. Because the restaurant continued serving meals during the process, there was no major overhaul of the dining room, which is fine because Eden Roc is one of the most well-preserved and beautiful examples of Miami Beach's heyday, when Frank Sinatra drank bourbon and wooed women at the bars and poolside cabanas of this resort.All photos by Laine Doss Charcuterie board at 15 Steps.
Signature chef Jeremy Ford changes the menu daily, with offerings dictated by what local seafood and produce looks good at the moment. A five course chef's tasting is $85, $150 with wine pairings. A three-course prix fixe is a reasonable $39 per person, and a la carte offerings are available. Added bonus: valet parking is only $5 with restaurant validation.
Short Order was invited to sample the chef's tasting at a media event. Here's what we had.

SAFE Patient Care Seconds Away
News for Referring Physicians
Medical Directions
e-Newsletter Sign-Up
Sign up to receive Medical Directions, the UW Health newsletter for referring physicians, via e-mail. Subscribe
MADISON - As any physician knows, safe, high-quality patient care starts with accurately identifying the patient and ensuring that the patient's records are attached to him or her and no one else.
UW Health now has a quick, new way to identify patients and make the critical match between patients and their unique electronic health records (EHR).
Our SAFE (Secure, Accurate, Fast, Efficient) patient identification system reads the veins in the palm of a patient's hand and matches the data to the correct EHR in seconds - ensuring caregivers have that individual's unique record to review and document care.
Why palm scanning? Palm vein patterns are so unique to each person, they can distinguish identical twins or patients who are unconscious or otherwise not able to communicate.
We have implemented the new system at UW Hospital and Clinics and in many UW Health locations in Madison. Enrolling is easy. It takes just a couple of extra minutes at registration or admission.
To learn more about UW Health's SAFE system, visit uwhealth.org/safe.

Terrence Cody flunks conditioning test
WESTMINSTER, Md.Baltimore Ravens massive rookie nose guard Terrence "Mount" Cody flunked the team's mandatory conditioning test and was held out of the first practice of training camp.
"He didn't pass the conditioning test," Ravens coach John Harbaugh said. "Part of our process is everybody has to pass the conditioning test to be sure that they're ready to compete. Our practices are fast. We've got to be sure guys are physically ready to practice. So when he passes the conditioning test, he'll practice." Cody is listed at 6-foot-4, 349 pounds, but the second-round draft pick from Alabama is likely a bit heavier than that. However, he's in much better condition than the sloppy 370 pounds he tipped the scales at during the Senior Bowl. Harbaugh said he's not surprised that Cody, a big run-stuffing defensive lineman, didn't pass the test. "I'm not surprised," Harbaugh said. "Every year, certain guys struggle with that.There's a certain level of expectation of conditioning that goes with being an NFL player, especially for this team. So, he's going to have to get himself into the kind of shape he needs to be in. We expect all our guys to be in world-class shape. So, he'll be in world-class shape soon enough." |

POSTED: Thursday, August 13, 2009 - 9:09pm
UPDATED: Thursday, February 25, 2010 - 11:32am
August 13, 2009
MCALLEN, TEXAS - The NBA D-League Rio Grande Valley Vipers announced today that they will open the 2009-10 season on Friday, November 29 at 7:30 p.m. CT when they travel to play the Austin Toros at the Austin Convention Center.
The Vipers' home opener is on Friday, December 4 against the Tulsa 66ers at 7:30 p.m. at Dodge Arena. It will be the first of 24 home games at Dodge Arena. Games will start at 7:30 p.m., with the exception of Sunday games, which start at 5:00 p.m., and the kids day game which starts at 11:00 a.m.
The Vipers play six home games in December, five in January, five in February and six in March before closing out the season with home games on April 2 and 3 against the Dakota Wizards.
"We can't wait for the season to start. We hope to build on the momentum we showed at the end of last year with sell-out crowds to welcome in the new season. We'll have more great family-affordable entertainment and half-time shows plus a high-quality brand of basketball in no small part because of our direct affiliation with the Rockets," Vipers President/GM Brian Michael Cooper said.
The Vipers will also take part in 2010 NBA D-League Showcase from January 4-thorugh-7 at Qwest Arena in Boise, Idaho.
Also highlighting the 2009-10 NBA D-League Schedule is the All-Star Game and Dream Factory which is part of NBA Jam Session presented by Adidas at NBA All-Star 2010 in Dallas. Last year, Ernest Scott represented the Vipers in the three-point shoot-out.
Vipers season tickets are on sale and can be purchased by calling the Vipers at (956) 972-1144 or by visiting the Vipers Pro-Shop in Uptown Plaza on N. 10th St. in McAllen. Purchasing Vipers season tickets is the only way to purchase seats for the Houston Rockets-Boston Celtics game at Dodge Arena on October 7, as the game is sold out to the general public. It is also the only way to get guaranteed admission to Rockets Training Camp at the McAllen Convention Center October 3-through-5.
The first 34 fans to purchase Vipers season tickets at tonight's 7:05 p.m. Rio Grande Valley WhiteWings baseball game at Harlingen Field will also get free admission to the exclusive Rockets autograph session during training camp.
"Sixteen of our home games will be on either Friday, Saturday or Sunday, making it easier for families to come out to have a memorable time," Cooper said.
For the first time, the NBA D-League will feature two conferences. The Vipers will play in the Western Conference with the Albuquerque Thunderbirds, Toros, Bakersfield Jam, Los Angeles D-Fenders, Idaho Stampede, Reno Bighorns, 66ers and Utah Flash.
The Eastern Conference will consist of the Wizards, Erie BayHawks, Fort Wayne Mad Ants, Iowa Energy, Maine Red Claws, Sioux Falls Skyforce and Springfield Armor.

Bharat Nivas |
The Pavilion of IndiaBACKGROUND Since last several years BHARAT NIVAS has been serving the physical and cultural necessities of the community of Auroville as a whole. The so called unfinished buildings of Bharat Nivas have been the centre of activities of life in Auroville by housing most of its service units as well as some of the important services of Auroville Community. This provided the most important physical place for existence of these activities detrimental to the growth of Auroville as a whole. Fostering these activities have always been seen by the BHARAT NIVAS group as its dayitva, our commitment to the ideals of Auroville in the light of Indian ethos and Culture. Now that Auroville is growing and as the new infrastructure of buildings is available for more permanent spaces for these services and units, BHARAT NIVAS has some more breathing space as well as it readies itself to rejuvenate itself to play the role of Indian Pavilion as envisioned by the Mother . Various units and services, which occupied much of the space in the campus of BHARAT NIVAS, have moved in the last year, 2003-2004. Since then, it has become possible for us to put these spaces to its intended use where all the activities of BHARAT NIVAS can be housed. These activities in the last year have grown much fuller as now it has more physical space for its manifestation. As always BHARAT NIVAS is committed to play a role of catalyst in the life of Auroville Community, as part of the International Zone of Auroville, where the local, bioregional, national and the international dimension of its work will find its space. Some of the most important community facilities and services still remain within the campus, such as AUROVILLE FOUNDATION , SAIIER, AUROVILLE ARCHIVES, POST OFFICE, SEWA, FREE STORE AND TAILORING SERVICE, LIBRARY, LABORATORY OF EVOLUTION, AUROVILLE MUSEUM OF ARCHAEOLOGY & MULTI PURPOSE HEALTH CENTRE . We reiterate our role to foster these activities and its physical existence till they all find their final locations and infrastructure in the Community of Auroville, in the next phase of growth of Auroville. This is in the Spirit of the Indian Pavilion and Cultural Ethos of the host country, we represent as part of the community. THE LOCATION & ACTIVITIES OF VARIOUS UNITS OF BHARAT NIVAS: PAVILION OF INDIA CENTRE OF INDIAN STUDIES The space formerly used by the Auroville Town Planning Service, is now the Centre of Indian Studies, where the library that houses one of the most interesting collection of the books on Indian Philosophy, Culture and Arts. This is also the space where some of the workshops, talks by eminent speakers and regular Bharat Nivas Group meetings are held. This also provides a study area for researchers to work and also regular Sanskrit language classes are conducted for groups of Aurovilians. CENTRE FOR RESEARCH IN INDIAN CULTURE The space has been rejuvenated and has been made more users friendly with physical infrastructure and equipment so that it can be used for more intense workshops that express the Spirit of India. This is also now available for very special exhibitions that carry a special meaning to the life of Auroville and its connection with the local, bioregional, national and international community. TAMIL HERITAGE CENTRE In the new setup of Bharat Nivas, Tamil Heritage Centre has found its footing in the life of Auroville. There is a space allocated for the expression of Tamil Culture especially through the programmes that link up the Auroville Community to the local and bioregional context of its existence. This is now housed in the basement of the Sri Aurobindo Auditorium where also the outside space under the big Peepal Tree provide a more natural atmosphere for the interactive meetings, programmes, etc. This also has in its vicinity the Gallery of the Foyer of the auditorium and Kala Kendra, where exhibitions can be held to express the essence of the Tamil Culture. Also the site for the new complex of Tamil Heritage Centre has been allocated near the Atithigriha, where invocation is done through regular programmes. ATITHI GRIHA Atithigriha still remains the hub of the activities of Bharat Nivas by providing the much needed infrastructural support to its activities. It houses the guests from India and all over the world, as well as groups of students, artists and researchers, who visit Auroville and Bharat Nivas. It also provides an experience of hospitality to our eminent guests of the Auroville Foundation in its vicinity. This has also helped us to held larger events, such as Conferences, Celebrations of Festivals and many big cultural events at the Sri Aurobindo Auditorium. SRI AUROBINDO WORLD CENTRE FOR HUMAN UNITY: This space, built during Sri Aurobindo's 125 th Birth Anniversary, is dedicated to the Community of Auroville for its meetings, rehearsals, programmes, etc. As the main welcoming space at the entrance of the Bharat Nivas, it has been designed for and will house the future reception of The Pavilion of India. SRI AUROBINDO AUDITORIUM This large space remains the heart of all the Cultural events of Auroville till today and for future. As the space has been the venue of all the major events in Auroville's growth, be it cultural, philosophical or any other nature. A ventilating system is ready to operate as soon as the financial and other details, as well as necessary Government permissions are worked out with the community and other agencies. We are committed to its non commercial use and focus on the use of the space for more Research oriented Cultural programmes, continuing the tradition of Bharat Nivas. KALA KENDRA : CENTRE FOR ARTS The former restaurant building has been renovated internally and has become the Centre for Arts . This large space houses an exhibition space, Gallery Square Circle and studios for resident artists, where visiting artists can work and stay. There are spaces for art workshops for Auroville and visiting artists, which hopes to become the hub of activities to foster art and culture and a space where all artists can meet, interact and work together. Keeping in mind the original concept of the building and the reality of Auroville today, an open air café, Indus Valley : Thought Masala , has started functioning: here all Aurovilians can finally have a taste of home like Indian cuisine, and sit over a cup of tea or traditional south Indian coffee. This space under the trees hopes to become a vibrant interactive space where artists can meet the art enthusiasts in a more relaxed atmosphere and where new ideas take shape for the Community. The whole old complex of the restaurant building has now been opened up to interconnect, without any new construction, as the original concept and the Courtyard will be a spill over space between the annex and the main Kala Kendra . It also houses space for art classes and work area for painters, sculptors, ceramics, etc. Necessary services, which were non existent before such as access to the first floor terrace and wash rooms, are provided within, as also protection from extreme weather conditions. A part of Kala Kendra continues to foster and has improved the working conditions of the essential services of Auroville such as Free Store and the Tailoring Service, Auroville Museum of Archaeology , till these activities find their own space in Auroville. Buildaur , a unit of Auroville fund, providing architectural and construction services in the community and committed to the completion of Bharat Nivas, has its base in the office of Kala Kendra, as run by the member of Bharat Nivas and coordinator of Kala Kendra activities, Dharmesh. SWAGATAM This is a more concentrated complex of spaces that will host the senior researchers from the Indian Philosophical and Art world that are resource persons for the Indian Pavilion. Presently, there are two units existing in the vicinity of the Atithigriha.

Sehwerert is happy to be able to speak with her son by telephone weekly. But she is angry about the treatment he and his four compañeros have received during their three-year incarceration. For example after their arrest on September 12, 1998, the suspects were held in the detention center's Special Housing Unit -- tantamount to solitary confinement -- for seventeen months. After the guilty verdicts, prison authorities, citing unspecified security concerns, returned the five agents to the small, windowless cells in the unit, known to inmates as "the hole." Federal public defender Joaquin Mendez filed a motion alleging cruel and unusual punishment, and the inmates were moved to the general prison population two months later. "The security concerns have always been vague and never proven," Mendez chides.
New Times recently met with Sehwerert and 73-year-old Magaly Llort at Llort's small apartment in the La Vibora neighborhood of Havana. Llort's son Fernando Gonzalez faces a prison sentence of up to ten years, as does Rene Gonzalez, for spying on exile groups and attempting to monitor U.S. military installations. (The two men are not related.) Llort also was bitter, not only about her son's isolation in the hole but because he was unable to contact her by phone or mail until two and a half years after his arrest.
The three other jailed compatriots -- Antonio Guerrero, Gerardo Hernandez, and Ramon Labañino -- could receive life sentences for their espionage convictions involving U.S. military installations. (The jury also found Hernandez guilty of murder conspiracy after concluding he was an accomplice in Cuba's 1996 Brothers to the Rescue shootdown that killed four members of the anti-Castro group.) Cuban foreign-ministry officials, who arranged the interviews with the two mothers, could not say why relatives of the other three prisoners were unavailable. Judge Joan Lenard is scheduled to hand down sentences in early December.
Although not a single member of the Miami jury was Cuban American, the two mothers remain skeptical that the panel was able to deliberate freely, without concerns of intimidation from zealous anti-Castro exiles. "[The jurors'] families are there; they work there," observed Llort, a retired economist who put in 35 years at Cuba's National Bank. "And we believe they must have been under a lot of pressure to play their role there. Not everyone, perhaps, has the courage to [overcome] a situation like that."
New Times has been unable to learn what the five convicted spies have to say about their guilty verdicts. Over the past several months, their lawyers have denied repeated requests for interviews. But the two mothers are unrepentant. They insist their sons would never have done anything to hurt the United States. "We gave them an upbringing and an education in which we made them reflect on the well-being of humanity," Llort said. "We know that they wouldn't be capable of committing a [harmful] act against anybody, including the North American people."
Sehwerert is a retired director of a Cuban chemical, mining, and energy-workers union who began her labor activism in the Fifties, at age sixteen, when she organized a union at a greeting-card factory in Chicago. She called the spy mission "a purely defensive necessity" to protect Cuba from terrorism. "From the beginning of the revolution," she declared, "we have constantly suffered terrorist acts." For example the two madres cited the 1976 bombing of a Cubana de Aviación jet, which exploded after takeoff from Barbados, killing 73 people. They also mention Luis Posada Carriles and Orlando Bosch, whom the Cuban government has long blamed for planning that attack. Bosch resides in west Miami-Dade; Posada is awaiting trial in Panama for an alleged plot to kill Fidel Castro with a bomb during last November's Ibero-American Summit.
Sehwerert chuckled at the suggestion that Posada, Bosch, and other exiles do not see themselves as terrorists but rather as soldiers in a war of liberation against the Castro regime. "We won the liberation of Cuba in the year 1959," she clarified. "And we are very proud of it. We're not going to give it up for anybody, because we don't want anything to do with the Cuba of old."
Recalling her son's career as a flier and flight instructor, Sehwerert reminisced, "He always dreamed of being a pilot." After serving with Cuban troops in Angola and working as a crop-duster back home in the Eighties, her boy flew to Key West in 1990 and publicly announced he had defected. It was a ruse. Over the next eight years, he infiltrated Brothers to the Rescue, the Democracy Movement, and the paramilitary Partido Unido Nacional Democratico and secretly reported to Havana on their activities.

Works in Progress
More than usual, I think. The store I work for, American Quilting in Orem, Utah is part of the Wasatch Front shop hop mid-way through June. And I get to make 3 new quilts for the store before then. And I'd better get a jump on them now because I will soon have twice as many kids at home all day. :)
I am so excited for my first little project because I get to use the above Jelly Roll and Honey Bun! American Jane. I know, I'm so lucky. I think I'll make one for myself in the process. :)
Next, I'm doing a quilt with a bunch of Amy Butler fabric. I know! Working with cool fabric that I didn't even have to pay for. Some how I didn't get a picture of the third pile, but it's a more traditional, summery-looking table topper from this issue of APQ.
(I started writing this post and realized I didn't have the picture, but I'm too lazy to go take one, wait for it to load, etc. because the kids will be home from school any minute.)
But I will show you this pile. These blocks are from the Block-of-the-Month quilt at American Quilting. We are finishing-up next month (and currently taking sign-ups for next year's quilt that starts in July, if you're in Utah and you're interested.) Do you like my Dresden Plate? I feel so cool since these blocks are suddenly everywhere. But I really want to make one that looks like Vanessa's or Sherri's with bright, retro looking colors. Mmm.
And speaking of sign-ups for this year's BOM here is a conversation that one of my co-workers had with a woman who called for information. The quilt is always a mystery quilt, but Amy, the owner and designer, always gives a theme. (And the quilt always turns out amazing.) This year was Americana, last year was spring, year before was winter, etc. So here is my co-worker, Gloria's conversation:
Gloria: "Well, it's always a mystery quilt, but this year the theme is a garden theme with a more primitive motif."
Lady-on-the-phone: (after a long pause) "You mean . . . like . . . dinosaurs?"

Oh, that's awesome to know you work at that shop! My mom was just there the other day and said she loves it! I need to make a trip down there I think! :) And yes, lucky you to get to make fun quilts with free fabric! I made a quilt recently with some Daisy Chain in that colorway and I LOVE it! :)
ReplyDeleteI am a new reader to your blog and have to tell you how much I do enjoy it. I am especialy touched by your words to your mother for Mother's Day. As a mother of 8 and one who stayed home to raise my children when it wasn't cool to do so, I can tell you how very heartwarming it is to hear what it means to your children after they are grown. I wish more young women today had the option to stay home with their children. I know several who long to do so. Lovely blog and thank you.
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love your dresden! I think the colors are beautiful. I have to admit, though, that I haven't seen one that I don't like. I am looking forward to our shop hop which is towards the end of June! I can't wait. It will be right after school is out and so much fun to see so many fun new ideas! Have a great week!
ReplyDeleteAmy! I crossed the literal street ... twice! And neither time were you working there, but I got a gift card for my MIL, so encounters are inevitable. I loved the blue/brown/star-turned-diagonal quilt on the board in the back. And I had a funny encounter with a store clerk that I'll send you under separate cover - it's entirely possible that we were speaking Martian to each other.
ReplyDeleteLove the fabric shop conversation...and lucky you with so many fun projects!!! I would love to make quilts for a shop! I love the Dresden block as well! I'm trying to plan a family trip up that way during the shop hop...one year I just lucked into it picking up my daughter from a basketball camp...and the shop hop was going on! But I only got to 3 shops that year...I'd love to get to all of them!
Thank you so much for your comments - they make my day! I try to respond to as many as my 'mommy' time allows, but life sometimes gets in the way. Please know how much I appreciate each of them.
I apologize for the current comment settings that require a registered user account. They are the only way that I don't get tons of gross spam.

In our highly mobile society, families move across state lines all the time. Psychologists say relocating is one of the most stressful experiences people face on a regular basis. And if it's stressful for you, it may be even more so for your children, who not only leave their friends and home behind, but face a new school. While moving's always a lot of work, it doesn't have to carry a lot of heartbreak. Here are some tips to make it easier on your kids:
When telling them about your decision, stress the positives ("There's a great park right across the street from our new house!") but don't expect them to jump on the bandwagon right away. Some anxiety is natural. Instead, say, "I know it's hard to move, but we'll find good things in the new place, too."
- One of the hardest things about moving is leaving old friends behind. Encourage your children to stay in touch with their pals, and offer to set up e-mail, arrange a visit or help write letters if they can't independently do so. If your child is too young to arrange his own social life, talk to his best friend's parents to see if you could arrange a webcam session.
Let your child pick a few toys, books and important objects to be carried along in a suitcase rather than packed away to languish in boxes. That way she'll have some personal objects during the trip and as soon as you arrive at the new location.
Pack homey touches from your children's rooms in well-labeled boxes and set up their rooms with familiar decorations as soon as possible so they can start settling in.
If at all possible, try to arrange play-dates with neighborhood kids, or kids bound for the same school as yours before school starts.
- Joining a local parents' club – ideally, before the move – will help you scout out the best pediatricians and extracurricular activities in advance.
- Moving demonstrates to kids that they are not in control of their own destinies (yet). Give them the illusion of control by having them help sort out which toys to keep and which to donate, and let them pick out a few new decorations on their own.
In the new house, stick to tried and true routines as much as possible, while giving everyone a break by ordering pizza, allowing a little more TV than usual, and providing extra TLC until everyone's settled in.

I'm sorry Mr.Hughton but I think you're missing the point completely. The reason you have come in for so much criticism is that we'll meaning supporters have been trying to influence you about the negative tactics being used at the moment and for the club to purchase a decent striker in the transfer window. Unfortunately they failed to influence the club or you on both counts and the team has carried on producing bad performances. There is a saying in football that you are only as good as your last game and that in the case of Norwich City is pretty grim to say the least!!!!!

Hey guys,
I need a nice little gun to keep in my pocket at work.
A guy on our shooting told me to get a Kel-Tec P3AT in a pocket holster, but I clocked on Chris's sig and I kind of like the Rohrbaugh P9S.
I have no experience with either, which would you suggest for a pocket gun? I'm thinking the Rohrbaugh simply because I can put my 9mm in it.
