Transition to Teaching – Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards
The Federal Register of January 8, 2007 contained a notice inviting applications for the FY 2007 Transition to Teaching competition 2007. The notice is at the U.S. Department of Education website . A total of approximately $19,000,000 may be available nationwide for new FY 2007 awards, subject to Congressional appropriations.
Additional information on completing the application for the FY 2007 competition is available on the Transition to Teaching website . In addition, a technical assistance workshop for interested applicants is scheduled to be held from 1:00 p.m. - 4:00 p.m. on January 31, 2007, at the Holiday Inn Capitol, 550 C St. SW, Washington, DC.
The U.S. Department of Education requests that potential applicants send Notices of Intent to Apply to firstname.lastname@example.com by February 7, 2007. Applicants that do not send these notices may still apply.
Applications are due March 26, 2007 and must be submitted electronically using the Grants.gov Apply site. This site requires several days for applicants to register and several days to upload and verify receipt of an application. Late applications (received after 4:30 pm Washington, DC time on the deadline date) are not accepted, so the U.S. Department of Education recommends that potential applicants begin their application process on the grants.gov web site as soon as possible and have plans to submit their final applications electronically at least one week before the final deadline. For further information, see http://www.grants.gov/ or call the e-grants helpline at (800) 386-6820.
The Transition to Teaching program encourages (1) the development and expansion of alternative routes to full State teacher certification, as well as (2) the recruitment and retention of highly qualified mid-career professionals, recent college graduates who have not majored in education, and highly qualified paraprofessionals as teachers in high-need schools operated by high-need local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that operate as high-need LEAs.
The program provides awards for up to 60 months to enable grantees to develop and implement comprehensive approaches to train, place and support teacher candidates whom they have recruited into their programs, who must meet relevant State certification or licensing requirements. Grantees then ensure that program participants are placed to teach in high-need schools and districts and support candidates to serve in these placements for at least three years.
Colleges and universities that do not currently offer alternative teacher preparation programs may contact the New York State Education Department's Office of College and University Evaluation (firstname.lastname@example.com) or review its website to obtain information about registering programs leading to Transitional B or C certification.
Applicants are required to place teachers in a "high-need LEA," which is defined as an LEA that:
- (a) serves not fewer than 10,000 children from families with incomes below the poverty line, OR (b) for which not less than 20 percent of the children served by the LEA are from families with incomes below the poverty line;
And for which there is
- (a) a high percentage of teachers not teaching in the academic subjects or grade levels the teachers were trained to teach, OR (b) a high percentage of teachers with emergency, provisional, or temporary certification or licensing.
The U.S. Department of Education's notice inviting applications provides a link to Census data needed to determine whether an LEA meets the first condition.
To determine whether an LEA meets the second condition, applicants can use a New York State Education Department list that shows the percentage of full-time equivalent teachers who were not appropriately certified for their assignments in each LEA in New York State in 2005-2006. To obtain the list, please write to firstname.lastname@example.com and request "the list of LEAs for TTT applications."
Teacher Incentive Fund – Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards
On November 14, 2006, the Federal Register contained a notice inviting applications for the Teacher Incentive Fund .
This program supports efforts to develop and implement performance-based teacher and principal compensation systems in high-need schools. Goals include:
- improving student achievement by increasing teacher and principal effectiveness;
- reforming teacher and principal compensation systems so that teachers and principals are rewarded for increases in student achievement;
- increasing the number of effective teachers teaching poor, minority, and disadvantaged students in hard-to-staff subjects; and
- creating sustainable performance-based compensation systems.
The deadline for submitting a Notice of Intent to apply for a Teacher Incentive Fund grant has passed, but applicants may still submit an application by the February 12, 2007 deadline. The current competition involves $43,000,000. Eligible applicants include local educational agencies (LEAs), including charter schools that are LEAs in their State; State educational agencies (SEAs); or partnerships of (a) an LEA, an SEA, or both, and (b) at least one non-profit organization. A total of 10 to 20 awards are expected to be made, ranging from $100,000-$10,000,000, with an average size of $3,500,000. Additional information is available online at the U.S. Department of Education website .
To help states and school districts learn about adding incentives to teacher compensation systems, the Education Commission of the States (ECS) published an issue paper on Diversifying Teacher Compensation and maintains a database of research on a number of redesigned teacher compensation programs. The issue paper and the database are available. These may be helpful to those planning to seek funds through this program this year or in future years.

We all have heard that one of the big culprits in the credit crisis was the collateralized debt obligation (CDO). CDOs are notes backed by baskets or cohorts of different types of receivables. The notes can be backed by residential mortgages, or commercial mortgages, or student loans, or credit card receivables or auto loans, etc (or a mixture of all the above). It is the cash flows from those receivables, not some end borrower, that services the CDO notes, i.e. pays interest and amortizes the principal on the notes.
I don't want to go into the details about CDOs here or their role in the credit crisis because many other writers have gone into this exhaustively elsewhere. Suffice to say CDOs (or asset backed financing/securitizations) are actually very important and effective ways of financing certain receivables pools (of effecting what is known as 'non-recourse' finance). And yet there were fairly obvious issues with many CDO structures before the crisis: their excessive structural complexity (the notes were broken into too many tranches); the questionable credit quality of the underlying assets; the use of too many different types of underlying receivables; the fact that those rating the notes (the rating agencies) were effectively in bed with the originators of the notes; the overly aggressive selling methods of CDO tranches by swarms of brokers; etc. (read more…)
With an eye on what lies ahead for the industry in 2015, SmartBrief conducted an e-mail interview with Jeffery Weaver, Chairman of the International Association of Credit Portfolio Managers. Mr. Weaver is an Executive Vice President and Group Head of CPM at KeyCorp.
The role of Credit Portfolio Managers in the management of credit exposures has evolved since the end of the Great Recession and one of the most significant changes is the expansion of regulation. How has this heightened regulatory scrutiny changed the role of risk management?
The role of credit portfolio management has become more strategic to the firm as the perpetual assessment of emerging risks and their potential impact on the credit portfolio is under taken.
In order to deliver high quality stable earnings with a sustainable growth profile, risk must be monitored across the organization in a collaborative and transparent manner. The optimally performing bank of today promotes prudent and effective decision making premised on a predefined set of strategic operating principals – while maintaining alignment with a risk management philosophy that has broad support by the firm's Board of Directors, senior management, and its primary regulators.

USEF Announces Eventing Team for 2004 Olympic Games US Equestrian Press Release
The United States Equestrian Federation announced today the Eventing team for the 2004 Olympic Games in Athens. The five horse and rider combinations are as follows, listed by Rider,Residence, Horse Information, Owner:
Darren Chiacchia, Springville, NY, Windfall 2 -Trakehner stallion,Tim Holekamp
Julie Richards, Atlanta, GA ,Jacob Two Two -Canadian Thoroughbred gelding,Jim Richards
Kim Severson, Keene, VA ,Winsome Adante- English Thoroughbred gelding, Linda Wachtmeister
Amy Tryon, Duvall, WA, My Beau -Thoroughbred gelding, Leigh Mesher, Bob & Barbara Mesher

Will Faudree, Southern Pines, NC, Antigua – Australian Thoroughbred, Will and Matt Faudree
David O'Connor, The Plains, VA , Outlawed – New Zealand Thoroughbred gelding, Jennifer Taxay
Jan Thompson, Purcellville, VA, Task Force – Thoroughbred gelding, Jo Ellen Byyny and Richard Byyny
Amy Tryon, Duvall, VA, Poggio II – Thoroughbred gelding. Amy Tryon and Mark Hart
Heidi White, Chadds Ford, PA , Northern Spy - English Thoroughbred gelding, Heidi White
"The riders on the short list from which the team was selected are a very talented group," said US Eventing Team Coach Mark Phillips. "Those selected for the team are the best of the best, however, they will find the competition in Athens very tough and a big challenge."
The team and the alternates will ship to England on July 19th to train with Phillips. On August 10th the team and one alternate will ship to Athens. The alternate going to Athens will be named on August 9th. The Eventing competition in Athens takes place August 15th through 18th. The dressage takes place on August 15th and 16th; cross country on August 17th; and stadium jumping on August 18th.
For the first time the cross country competition at the Athens Olympic Games will be conducted over the "modified" cross-country course. The traditional 20-mile phase of endurance tests, which includes roads and tracks, and steeplechase, have been eliminated. After warming up their horses, the riders will proceed directly to the cross-country course at their allocated start time. As the horses will tackle the cross-country phase fresher, the riders will have new strategic challenges to consider.
This modified course will be approximately 5700 meters, a shorter distance than the usual international and Olympic level competition of about 7000 meters. However, there will still be approximately 45 obstacles to clear.
"I think we have a great group of experienced horses and riders. I'm now looking forward to getting to England so that we can focus on our final preparations for the challenges ahead in Athens," said Phillips.
On Tuesday of this week at the Final Mandatory Outing, the final phase of the selection process, Phillips sized up the Olympic competition, "on paper the French and British have the strongest chance, but at the Olympics you have to show up and shape up. If we go and do our business we'll be competitive."

This is a discussion on Carry enough gun? within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; Originally Posted by MLittle When I see the "just going to the store, so I threw the 38 in my pocket" response, the first thing ...
I'm saying if I feel the need to "gun up" from what I'm currently carrying (or not carrying) to go to a particular place, then I would likely not go to the place.
In other words, I do not carry so I can go to places I would not otherwise go to if unarmed.
The flipside of that is I don't feel undergunned when I'm carrying a 5 shot, nor do I feel particularly vulnerable on the occasions that I am not carrying.
I carry a Glock 26 (which everyone knows is 9mm) and fell that it is more then capable for a SD round. Some would say that a .45 or .357 would be a better choice but 9mm with JHP ammo will stop anything I would need be.

Some of us have been in situations that they had to draw or felt like they needed to get ready to draw. These people have drawn from their situation and carry at all times. They also are more likely to be carrying heavier large capacity weapons. From my personal experince in the CA I found my 6 shot revolver did not have enough rounds to go around. When I got back home I bought a "wonder nine" 15 shot. I only carry autos with reloads for self defense. Nothing like a real life experince to make a believer out of you.

Great sex does more than blow your mind—it's good for your heart, your head and your beauty.
Anger has gotten a bad reputation. Type the word into Google and your top hits are most likely about how to reduce or manage it. A typical headline? "Controlling Anger—Before It Controls You" (from the American Psychological Association, no less!).
For one thing, anger and violence are often equated. "In historical depictions of the sin, the link is tightly and quite literally drawn," writes Simon M. Laham, Ph.D., in "The Science of Sin: The Pathology of the Seven Deadlies (and Why They Are So Good For You)." Moreover, studies have shown that anger can negatively impact our health, increasing our risk, for example, of cardiovascular problems.
MORE: How to Stay Positive Around Angry People
But anger isn't the same as violence. "Anger is an emotion, while aggression is a behavior," says Sally D. Stabb, Ph.D., professor of counseling psychology at Texas Woman's University and co-author of "The Anger Advantage: The Surprising Benefits of Anger and How It Can Change a Woman's Life." "They are not the same and don't have to go together. You can be furious and do nothing, for example. Or you can be aggressive with no anger whatsoever, such as when someone is assaulted or their house broken into to get their money or valuables. This means when you are angry, you have a broad spectrum of actions available to you and you get to choose what you do with your anger."
And the effects on our health aren't negative in the cut-and-dried way that's been advertised. It's partly a matter of parsing what we mean when we say "anger"—there are many different shades. As Timothy W. Smith, Ph.D., notes in "Anger, Hostility and the Heart," hostility is very different from anger and has quite different repercussions, but many studies have failed to distinguish between the two.
More importantly, studies have shown that one of the unhealthiest parts of anger comes not from feeling it, but from suppressing it—that is, pretending you're not pissed off and avoiding expressing the emotion. "Repressing anger may lead to psychosomatic symptoms—like headaches, but that's just one example—or to depression," says Stabb. "There are times when it makes sense to temporarily set your anger aside—you may not want to lose your job by exploding at your boss—but that doesn't mean a woman should ignore what her anger at work is telling her and make reasoned choices about what to do with her anger."
In fact, suppressing anger can not only harm us, but in certain circumstances, controlled anger can also be a pretty helpful emotion. It alerts us to harm, wrong-doing and unfairness, like the anger at work that Stabb mentions. "Anger has evolved as an emotional gauge of injustice," writes Laham. "When we see the rights of others trampled or someone get harmed, we get angry."
MORE: How Emotional Stress Affects Your Heart Health
And if we're aware of injustice—toward ourselves and others—we can start working to create change. "Appropriate anger expression allows us to state our needs, to indicate to important others when boundaries have been crossed or when we have felt betrayed, insulted or treated unfairly," Stabb says. "Anger can motivate us to leave or change bad situations." (The caveat: If you frequently have feelings of anger—because you often feel slighted or not in control—that could signal a cognitive distortion, meaning having rigid, inflexible ideas that color the way you interpret the world, which needs to be worked on.)
In a 2004 study, Deborah L. Cox, Ph.D., an associate professor of counseling at Missouri State University and her colleagues found just that: A focus group of 16 women attested that, in some situations, they found anger useful for helping them set boundaries, self-define and clarify their needs.
When we're angry, we tend toward confrontation, but this isn't always a bad thing. Though confrontation can be physical or spiteful, it can also be constructive. "Part of the reason for such attitude change may be that angry people are processing information more effortfully and analytically," Laham writes. "Not only do they search for information that might disconfirm their own opinions, they might also process this information more carefully."
In a 1988 study, Mario Mikulincer, Ph.D., then a professor at Bar-Ilan University in Israel, gave 90 students discrimination tasks. Those in the high-helplessness condition tried to complete four questions that had no answers; for those in the low-helplessness condition, only one of the four questions was unanswerable. The low-helplessness group was more likely to experience frustration, while the high-helplessness group experienced more feelings of depression. In a subsequent task, the frustrated people solved a lot more problems than the helpless, depressed participants. In this case, mild frustration, a variant of anger, yielded perseverance. When angry, some people are able to focus more on goals and rewards, triggering persistence despite adversity.

SMART Recovery Online Events & Webinars
Dr. Hank Robb - ACT SMART
Saturday January 31 2015, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM EST
WEBINAR: Integrating ACT into SMART Recovery
with Dr. Hank Robb
Listen to a podcast of this past event!
You are invited to join us for our first Special Event Webinar of 2015 with
Hank Robb, Ph.D., presenting: ACT SMART! Does ACT Work with SMART Recovery?
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, ACT for short and pronounced as a word rather than three separate letters, is one of several acceptance-based, "second generation," cognitive behavioral therapies (CBT). ACT has generated considerable empirical research and is showing great promise, clinically. It has much in common with earlier CBT approaches such as REBT, including its focus on acceptance. Many of our professionals are finding its approach and tools intriguing and highly useful. Dr. Robb is an expert in both ACT and REBT, and we have asked him to share ways in which some of the insight from ACT might fit with and perhaps expand the SMART principles and tools with which we may be more familiar.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is a "psychological flexibility model" with 6 key concepts:
- • Self as Context
- • Acceptance
- • Defusion
- • Commitment
- • Values
- • Present Moment Awareness
These six can be captured in the question, "Given the difference between you and the stuff you are struggling with (thoughts and feelings), are you willing to have that stuff as it is, rather than what it seems to be – monstrous; and right here, right now, act in the service of the Big Picture you choose for your life?"
Dr. Hank Robb has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Nebraska and is a Supervisor for the Institute for Rational-Emotive Therapy, New York. He is board certified in both Counseling Psychology and Behavioral & Cognitive Psychology and is certified in the Treatment of Alcohol and Other Psychoactive Substance Use. In addition, he is an ACT Trainer. He previously served as President of the American Board of Counseling Psychology.
Dr. Robb contributes regularly to SMART's New & Views newsletter. He is a founding member of SMART Recovery and has just been re-appointed to its Board of Directors.
We are pleased to present this SMART Recovery Webinar, as a FREE Public Service. We believe the general public and the SMART community will find the discussion of great interest.
SMART President Tom Horvath: Questioning Stanton Peele
Presented by: Dr. Tom Horvath and Dr. Stanton Peele
Thursday, October 9th at 9:00PM EDT
Listen to a podcast of this past event
If you spend some time with Stanton Peele, it won't take long to realize that he asks a lot of questions. Here we have taken the opportunity to turn the tables, and Dr. Horvath will be the one with the questions!
There are several areas in which SMART's focus and opinions and those of Dr. Peele differ. For instance, according to W.R. Miller "The best predictors of relapse for people treated for alcohol problems are lack of coping skills and belief in the disease theory of alcoholism." Tom focuses on the former, Stanton on the latter. Listen to the two of them discuss this difference in their focus -- and watch the fur fly!
This is an unparalleled opportunity to hear a truly broad-based discussion on addiction in the context of the latest in research and treatment by two unsurpassed experts. We have no doubt that this will be a lively and intriguing discussion, and there will be plenty of time for questions from the audience as well. This is a don't miss!
Stanton Peele, Ph.D., J.D., is a seminal figure in the addiction field. Dr. Peele has been a pioneer in applying addiction beyond the area of drugs and alcohol, social-environmental causes of addiction, harm reduction, and self-cure of addiction.
Dr. Peele has developed the online Life Process Addiction Program. His most recent book, with Ilse Thompson, is Recover!: Stop Thinking Like an Addict and Reclaim Your Life with The PERFECT Program, available at Amazon. Since the publication of Love and Addiction in 1975, He has presented these ideas and data in a series of twelve books and over 250 professional and popular articles. All Treatment awarded him the Best Academic Addiction Blog for 2012. Recognition for his academic achievements in addiction has included the Mark Keller Award from the Rutgers Center of Alcohol Studies and the Lifetime Achievement Award from the Drug Policy Alliance. Dr. Peele lectures internationally on the meaning, treatment, and future of addiction.
Tom Horvath, Ph.D., is a California licensed and board certified clinical psychologist (ABPP). He has been President of SMART Recovery® for over a decade and is the founder and president of Practical Recovery, a self-empowering addiction treatment system in San Diego. He is past president of the American Psychological Association's Society on Addiction Psychology, the world's largest organization of addiction psychologists. He is also the author of Sex, Drugs, Gambling & Chocolate: A Workbook for Overcoming Addictions (listed by the Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies as a "Self-Help Book of Merit").
Behavioral Addictions: A Look at Gambling and Eating Disorders
Presented by: Dr. Chris Tuell and Ann F. Hull, MSSW

Listen to a podcast of this past event
SMART Recovery is very pleased to present its new Special Event Webinar "Behavioral Addictions: A Look at Gambling and Eating Disorders" with Dr. Chris Tuell of The Lindner Center for HOPE in Cincinnati and Ann Hull of The Hull Institute in Cleveland.
SMART believes that the principles and tools of our program can be applied to any maladaptive behavior. There are characteristics, however, that distinguish some addictive behaviors from the alcohol and drug issues that we most frequently discuss. Eating disorders and gambling addiction are two such examples.
Both Dr. Tuell and Ms. Hull have devoted their careers to the study and practice of addictive behaviors, and we are pleased to have their expertise to provide support for those struggling with ED or gambling issues as well as education for our community and the public, so we can strengthen our knowledge, support and compassion for those who come to SMART.
The Speakers

He serves as an instructor and lecturer at the university level, as well as for national, regional, and state level conferences and organizations on topics of chemical and behavioral addictions.
In addition, Dr. Tuell is certified by the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis, as well as by EMDRIA in EMDR.
Ann F. Hull, MBA, MSSW, LISW-S, SAP
Ms. Hull is Founder and President of The Hull Institute. She is a Licensed Independent Social Worker with over 22 years of experience, specializing in the treatment of eating disorders, obesity and addictions. Ann received her Master of Science in Social Work from Columbia University and her Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the University of Colorado at Boulder, graduating cum laude.

Ed Garcia - Adventurous Living, Part II
Friday November 15 2013, 6:00 PM - 7:00 PM EST
WEBINAR and NEW SERIES: Adventurous Living Part II: Intimate Adventures
with REBT expert Ed Garcia, MA, CSW
Listen to a podcast of this past event
Did you miss Part I? Listen to the podcast here!
Part II: Intimate Adventures: Close Associations
In Mr. Garcia's words: "Intimacy generally refers to the feeling of being in a close personal association and having a sense of belonging. It is a familiar and very close emotional connection with another person as a result of a bond that is formed through knowledge and experience with that person. Intimacy is highly desired and yet thwarted and rejected by many individuals. This segment of Adventurous Living will explore the various types of intimacy, as well as the issues that prevent many people from experiencing the joy of that feeling."

Dr. Hank Robb - ACT-ing SMART
Saturday August 31 2013, 5:00 PM - 6:00 PM EDT
WEBINAR: Integrating ACT into SMART Recovery
with Dr. Hank Robb
Listen to a podcast of this past event.
Join us as Hank Robb, Ph.D., one of SMART Recovery's founding members, speaks about SMART Recovery and how ACT can fit into that framework.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) takes the view that trying to change difficult thoughts and feelings as a means of coping might can be relatively unhelpful, but new, powerful alternatives are available, including acceptance, mindfulness, cognitive defusion, values, and committed action ~ Steven Hayes, ACT creator. Dr. Robb brings a unique perspective as an expert in CBT, REBT, and as an ACT practitioner. Join us to hear him speak about topics such as:
* Being flexible WITH our thinking, versus being flexible WHILE we're thinking.
* On the subject of "mindfulness", is anyone really in favor of living life more mindlessly?
* And, finally, how about that distinction between "true" and "helpful." This is a distinction that might prove – well – HELPFUL!
Dr. Hank Robb has a Ph.D. in Counseling Psychology from the University of Nebraska (1978), and is a Supervisor for the Institute for Rational-Emotive Therapy, New York. He is board certified in both Counseling and Behavioral Psychology and is certified in the Treatment of Alcohol and Other Psychoactive Substance Use.
He previously served as President of the Am. Board of Counseling Psychology and is listed as an Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Trainer. Dr. Robb is a founding member of SMART Recovery and continues to write regularly for the SMART New & Views newsletter on topics related to cognitive behavioral (CBT) and Rational Emotive Behavior Therapy (REBT).
Robert J. Meyers - Help for Family & Friends
Wednesday July 31 2013, 9:00 PM - 10:00 PM EDT
WEBINAR: Help for Families & Friends
with CRAFT Creator Dr. Robert J. Meyers
Listen to a podcast of this past event.
Dr. Meyers is co-creator of the Community Reinforcement and Family Training (CRAFT) approach which provides a foundation for SMART's program for Family and Friends. He is co-author of the book Get Your Loved One Sober: Alternatives to Nagging, Pleading and Threatening, used extensively by SMART Recovery as a reference.
SMART has found this a groundbreaking, effective approach directly in line with its own evidence-based views on helping those with addiction, and it has been received with great enthusiasm in our SMART community. The CRAFT approach provides a practical, compassionate framework for family interactions and getting people help for their addictive issues and creating lives worth living.
Two weekly online meetings are available for SMART Recovery Family & Friends (Mondays at 9:00 PM EDT and Thursday at 1:30 PM EDT) in its voice chat venue, and SMART has also began launching local Family & Friends meetings around the country, including Chicago IL, San Diego CA, Columbus MD, Belmont MA, Cincinnati and Mentor OH, and Portland OR in the past year with great attendance and response: SMART Recovery Family & Friends.
Dr. Meyers has been prominent in the addiction field for 37 years with 23 of those years being at the University of New Mexico. He is currently the director of Robert J. Meyers, Ph.D. & Associates and is a Research Associate Professor Emeritus in Psychology at the University of New Mexico's Center on Alcoholism, Substance Abuse and Addiction. He has been involved in over a dozen clinical trials funded by the National Institutes of Health, including Project Match and the Clinical Trials Network.
Dr. Meyers began his work with the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA) in 1976. He also developed the new innovative "intervention" program used to engage resistant substance abusers to enter treatment – CRAFT - an evidence-based protocol, which has been shown to be superior to the "traditional" interventions in several randomized clinical trials. This work has led Dr. Meyers and CRAFT to be one of the 14 featured segments on the Emmy Award-winning HBO Addiction series. Dr. Meyers has also been featured in Oprah magazine for his outstanding work using the Community Reinforcement Approach (CRA). He is an internationally known speaker and trainer who has delivered training on his methods throughout the United States and in countries around the world. For additional information about Dr. Meyers and his work, please see his website: www.robertjmeyersphd.com.
Both SMART Recovery and Dr. Meyers are pleased to offer information and support to the family and friends of those with addictive issues. We believe they can help in a non-confrontational, positive manner -- without nagging, pleading or threatening.

2002 Infiniti G20Visitor, Potwin, KS, February 15, 2015 05:56G20 02 - Very good car overall. Minimal Problems. 33 mpg - comfortable. Corners well, ride is good. Radio is good. Sunroof nice. With base car which is loaded usually. Cheap to buy tires, 15 size. Cup-holders stink - one weakness area to many power steering lines, that are numerous. must be 6-7 hoses. Have changed 3 so far. Other wise no major trouble with car. Like all new cars not as easy to work on and replace things. I miss my dodge dart where everything was accessible.Flag ThisLike0
2002 Infiniti G20Visitor, Leesburg, VA, November 10, 2014 18:15Good car overall. Cheap on fuel. No power house. But you can run 60-70 all day long. Nice interior. Nice sunroof. Decent radio Not to many cup holders.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

1994 Infiniti G20Visitor, Los Angeles, CA, November 24, 2013 22:54I love my 1994 G20, manual transmission. The check engine light used to come one and I used to take it to the dealer and they said they would clean out the hoses. That told me instantly that it was the less than premium gasoline I was using at the time. Since then I only use premium gasoline and the check engine light never came one again. Hope this helps someone with this same problem.Flag ThisLike0
1995 Infiniti G20Visitor, North Las Vegas, NV, December 08, 2012 21:06In 2004 I purchased used a 1995 Infinity G20t with 114,00 miles. Immediately the A/c stopped blowing cold air. Took to a local A/c shop and had it recharged and also a leak detecting agent. It's 2012 and it still is working great. I have replaced both front drive axles, a lower control arm,struts,alternator,radiator,water pump,hoses,belts,battery(twice),brakes and tires. I just had transmission seviced a couple of months ago. I do most of the work myself which saves a lot of $ and in doing so I use nothing but the best in synthetic lubricants. It now has over 148,000 miles and I love it. I originally paid 3,200 so with this and the maint costs I figure I've spent roughly less than $500.00 per year thus far and remember that's including the purchase price. This is my around town and work vehicle. Did I mention everything works and has never left me stranded.The leather interior is about an 8 in a scale of 1 to 10. It even still gets the OEM MPG. So, what do I think of this vehicle? It's a winner. They should never have discontinued it.Flag ThisLike | 2 people like this2
1999 Infiniti G20Visitor, Cohutta, GA, November 28, 2012 18:22I bought my 1999 G20 5 speed as a new left over model in june of 2000. It now has 209000 miles on and still has the original rear brakes. The front brakes were replaced at 120000 and the starter was replaced at 140000 miles. I also had new belts put on at 180000. I have had the car serviced regularly every 5000 miles since I bought it, but have only had the above mentioned repairs. Of course I have had batteries and tires replaced as needed. I'm sorry Infiniti doesn't make these anymoreFlag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1

1995 Infiniti G20Visitor, North Las Vegas, NV, October 10, 2011 00:18I bought this vehicle (1995 Infinity G20t) used in 2004. A great little car. Interior is near perfect still (all leather) and I have probably spent $1,500.00 including tires on this vehicle since I've owned it. I do most of my own maintenance which saves $'s. It now has over 142.000 miles on it but seems to be pretty strong runner for being almost 17 years old. Needs a front drivers side axle now but this will be around $100.00 by the time I buy an axle,seal,boot and new spindle nut. This vehicle has never left me stranded, and since I don't drive that many miles I believe I will keep it as long as I can pass smog. Love it and would get another.Flag ThisLike | 1 person likes this1
1999 Infiniti G20Visitor, Dumfries, VA, August 20, 2011 12:55Bought mine in very good condition with 136,000 miles in 2009. It had been owned by college daughter of an affluent lawyer, so it was well maintained. Paid $2800! It was great for first 10K miles...then the alternator went. Replaced it myself...not too difficult, just a little time consuming. Subsequently, radiator cracked. Replaced that myself too - very easy, got a good deal on eBay for a new one with lifetime guaranty. Next was front wheel bearings...my mechanic did that repair with my parts. Then the new alternator went with only 10k miles on it. It was faulty. Had a lifetime warranty from Advance Auto so I got a new one - no charge, but had to put it back in myself, again. Easier second time - getting to be an expert at this. Now have 156,000 miles on it. Check Engine light just lit. Code reader says P0138. Looks like Rear O2 Sensor is going. Pretty cheap part. I'll do this myself too. Despite these problems, this is a really nice car. I use it for commuting only (56 miles RT per day) and it gets 25 - 31 mpg, depending on traffic speed. The items which have failed are beyond projected life-cycle for the most part, so I'm not complaining...plus I got it for below book with great service records showing responsible service. You can save a lot of money if you do the repairs yourself. Second best is to find a good, honest mechanic. Never go to an Infiniti dealer, unless you want to spend 200%-300% more than a private mechanic. Believe it or not, I would buy another one of these. They are comfortable, fun to drive and prestigious. The only improvement Infiniti could have made is offering either a manual transmission, or better yet, a stronger engine. These are a little under powered, particularly noticeable with the AC on...wish they had made a convertible...The only problem I currently have that I can't figure out is a rattle/thumping coming from down below my left foot on the driver's side? Got any ideas? I know it had new axles installed by the previous owner right before I bought it...maybe this is a strut problem??? Nevertheless, if you've got one...Enjoy it!Flag ThisLike | 6 people like this6
1999 Infiniti G20Visitor, Aurora, IL, March 05, 2011 15:03I bought the car in 2008 with 103000 miles. This car has been nothing but problems avoid at all costs!!! The 1st of many issues happened at 107000 miles when the motor went out 3100.00. The radiator went out next followed by the heating and air conditioner. The alternator and belts were next. The fans went out next. The front shocks and struts had to be replaced next. The starter followed along with the brakes due to excessive vibrarions when hitting the brakes. Some power steerin unit went out in the middle of winter making it impossible to turn the steering wheel. The check engine light is now on due to something electrical. The transmission has now begun to slip. All in all this car has been nothing but a headache buy something new instead of this piece of junk.Flag ThisLike | 2 people like this2
1996 Infiniti G20Visitor, Meredith, NH, March 01, 2011 13:32I love my g20 but when you cant afford to pay some one to do a clutch your better off saving money and making it happen because it is the most difficult thing to do when you do not have a garage or all the proper tools!

Pretty easy service-wise, with the exception of the front end which has had a number of problems, especially relating to snow belt rust issues. Super engine, but would be much happier with room to breathe in a manual transmission. Highly recommended for the Accord/ Camry buyer who wants to get a better deal.

POSTED: Monday, July 12, 2010 - 11:14am
UPDATED: Tuesday, July 13, 2010 - 12:11pm
CHICAGO – A new gun ordinance in Chicago that officials say is the strictest of its kind in the country went into effect on Monday.
The ordinance was pushed through quickly by Mayor Richard Daley and the City Council after the U.S. Supreme Court last month made the city's 28-year-old handgun ban unenforceable. The high court ruled that Americans have the right to have guns in their homes for protection.
The ordinance permits residents to have only one working gun at a time in their homes and prohibits them from stepping outside, even onto their porches or in their garages, with a handgun.
Following the lead of Washington, D.C., which enacted a strict ordinance after the Supreme Court struck down its gun ban two years ago, Chicago also requires prospective gun owners to take a class and receive firearms training.
Chicago's ordinance also bans gun shops from setting up shop in the city and bars anyone convicted of a violent crime, domestic violence or two or more convictions for driving under the influence of alcohol or drugs from owning a handgun.
Also starting Monday is a 90-day grace period in which residents who owned handguns illegally during the ban can register them without penalty.
Chicago's ordinance was widely criticized by gun rights advocates, who have said the city is simply trying to make it as difficult as it can for people to own guns and putting up unconstitutional roadblocks in their way. They promised lawsuits and last week, even before the ordinance went into effect, at least two lawsuits were filed challenging the constitutionality of the ordinance.
City officials have said they believe the lawsuit is constitutional and that the Supreme Court specifically ruled that local jurisdictions have the right to impose reasonable regulations and restrictions.

TYLER - Leaders from Longview and Tyler met today to get to know each other in hopes of working together more often in the future.
Longview's mayor, Jay Dean, started off the meeting by saying he would like to collaborate more with Tyler on workforce development.
He says Tyler's developmental services are strong, and he wants to learn more about their processes.
There was also economic discussion, including talk about the half-cent sales tax revenue program that helps Tyler pay down its debt.
Leaders discussed what to do if federal stimulus money makes its way to Tyler or Longview as well.
Mayor dean says this meeting comes at an important time, "It's the beginning of the legislative session and what we want to do is possibly discuss the same issues that we both share."
This is the first time leaders have met in about 5 years, but they say they hope this meeting starts a precedent for more frequent reunions.

WILMINGTON -- When a disaster like a fire strikes they jump into action. But the American Red Cross says it is in need of volunteers.
Saturday the Cape Fear chapter recruited nearly 20 new volunteers. They attended training sessions, including several courses on mass care and shelter operations.
Representatives say this information is critical when volunteers respond to emergencies like Thursday night's fire at Canterbury Woods apartments in Wilmington.
American Red Cross volunteer Dru Hoge said, "We can get a team out there and make sure volunteers helps those who have lost their homes, find a safe, secure and sanitary place to sleep tonight, food to eat, clothes to wear and someone to talk to -- someone that will help walk them through this recovery process."
The Red Cross has housed at least two of the families affected by that fire.
If you'd like to help support the American Red Cross volunteers say you can donate blood or make financial contributions by calling 762-2683.

"Narrator takes this book to another level"
Mediocre authors should be queuing up for David Colacci to be their narrator. He certainly did an excellent job with this far fetched plot and actually made the package quite entertaining and enjoyable. This was a story you always knew was a story; not once did it become credible and if you can accept that then there is no reason not to enjoy this excellently read crime romp.
No, I don't think so. All my friends are nice people.
in one respect please; I was please it was finished, on the other hand I don't appreciate cliffhangers, but, at least, I had the triology.
Yes, he was excellent.
mmmmm, yes, quickly read the next books.
Quickly paced suspense thriller in the truest sense. There's always something - awful - happening; murder and mayhem abound. If you're into torture, pain, and death, this is the book for you. If you're a tad squeamish, don't buy it. Nothing like the Pines series.
"Unique & most satisfying book !!"
oh, absolutely, I will certainly listen to this book again. I found it a thrilling and intriguing listen and, possibly, one of the best books written by Tana French so far. It had me all the way. Tana French is possibly one of the best novelists writing today. The way she can twist and turn the English language is a delight and this book is no exception. The dialogue between the teenage proponents is fascinating and it's interesting to see the English language evolve from one generation to the next. This psychological drama illustrates how idealized things which are important to us in our youth stagnate and fall away as we become older and more cynical, things like loyalty, friendship, trust, and love. The teenage girls on one hand illustrate these ideals and the police force and Hollie's parents depict the contrast to these teenage ideals.
This book is far more than a murder mystery. It is a very rich book full of ideas about the world through the young's eyes and how our world view changes as we grow older. It is beautifully written, as all Tana French's books are. Although not many of the reviews here are flattering, I, luckily, read none before I listened to this book. I hope you only read mine.
"Not your average HORROR story....."
In the top 100. I've listened to thousands.
Anna Bentinct's performance is faultless. She is a talented actress who can foil you into believing you are listening to a number of different narrators. She is so good, I will look out especially for her other books.
I have labeled this book a horror story in my heading because it is, but not one you're used to reading in that genre. It's a horror story because it is so believable and by a quirk of fate could happen to any of one us, as illustrated by the two girls who come from extraordinarily different backgrounds. It also depicts how most of us take things at face value without really questioning facts. We believe what the newspapers and TV news tells us. We make judgements, we condemn, and in effect we may, too, kill. Brilliant story, brilliantly read. Can't recommend more highly. Thanks Alex Marwood for this great read.
"whining voice"
i just couldn't get into it
all of them
don't waste a credit unless you love 'from down south' whiny narrators
A nice romp!
I have these strange and dangerous thoughts !!
I quite enjoyed this book and would classify it as lighted hearted. I did not find this book horrifying at all; maybe occasionally a little grotesque. Perhaps I have become desensitised by watching the likes of CSI on the tele, but the mortuary scenes scenes were not at all shocking the way they were portrayed in such an everyday manner. In fact, I found the book rather amusing, especially when the supernatural elements appeared in the form of 'the demon' disguised as the old neighbour. What this demon serial killer did to his victims I read in the same humorous vein as the demon himself was described. I will buy the second in the series and again look forward to a nice light hearted 'horror.' Perhaps I'm a psychopath too (hehehe)!!
No one, The narrator, Abby Craden, should do jail time for most awful job I have ever heard. Please don't give up your day job Ms Craden. It was almost satirical, the way she read this book. It was so bad it was almost funny, almost !!
A gifted performer may have improved the book a lot, but would have needed to be exceptionally gifted, but I'll never know!!
No - luckily I should get my credit back
Please, please please, don't waste a credit unless you want to give as a gift to someone you don't like.
"Best of British to DI Brennan"
Apart from the fact that the book was well written and the characters well developed, Martyn Waites' performance was sublime; one of the best readers of audiobooks, he really brought this book to life.
Cleverly written, to keep the reader/listener on the edge of their seat. This was accomplished by telling different stories from the personal points of view of the various characters who played pivotal parts, in two separate criminals' murderous deeds, which cleverly come together in the end.
Absolutely recommend this book to anyone who enjoys a good thriller, suspense.
"Rich Reading Rewards"
I loved the way the story, for the most part, was told through the eyes of a musically gifted 9 year old boy. I also loved the way the characters were portrayed though his eyes, particularly the Japanese gentleman who lived in the upstairs flat who become Jonah's surrogate father.
Korey Jackson was 'the book.' He performed it so well, his reading became seamless with the story itself. His slight African American accent suited the story perfectly.
good ultimately defeats evil
Loved this sensitive book. Koontz just gets better and better with age, like a good wine. He no longer needs heavy servings of the supernatural to smack you in the face and gets his message across now with smaller, more delicate helpings which are far more satisfying. I rate this one as his best so far.
Madeline was my favourite character. She told her story with wry humour and insight. While she put on a carefree face, she was deeply sensitive to others feelings and cared for her children and husband with whole heartedness while holding a deep hurt for being abandoned by her former husband.
She must have enjoyed the book immensely too because she brought to her performance an empathy which only a deep understanding of the characters could; what a brilliant depiction of voices.
It made me feel almost every emotion one can possibly feel. I smiled most of my way through the book as Liane Moriarty and Caroline Lee brought us - you and me - everyday people, to life and showed us at our best our worst and as everything imbetween.
I'm not normally a reader of these kind of books. How would you classify it? A story about relationships? My normal consumption of audiobooks are good police procedurals and thrillers but I bought this because of the numerous accolades it received and they were certainly well deserved. I cannot imagine a group of readers whom I would not recommend this book to. Irrespective of your 'normal' taste in books; read this !
"Fire or Ice !?"
I love the way the story was told by a number of characters from their journals & other paper works. It created mysteries within mysteries that kept my attention and interest all the way.
The very end of Tom's journal; I won't say anything else here, or it will be a giveaway.
the final chapters of the book as they unfolded, gave resolution to the to the previous chapters in a most unexpected way.
This book is not a simple thriller, where what you see is what you get. Rather it's quite the opposite.The writing of Tom Harper, was nicely achieved and gave gravity to an excellent performance by, Piers Wehener. I have not heard of this narrator before, but will be looking out for his other works. The story weaves this way and that, told from a number of viewpoints until you're at a loss as to who the protagonist might be. It kept my interest all the while with each character shedding some light on the situation and each other. However it's not until quite near the end until the whole story comes together in a most unexpected way that almost left me gasping. I liked the ending which left as many questions unanswered as those that had been answered. I recommend this book for those who enjoy a wonderful mystery suspense but where your ability to collate facts and your own mental creativity is not put on hold and becomes an intrinsic part of the denouement and final resolution - especially. Highly recommended\

The BlogGen. Clark: 'Excellent Debate'11:10 AM, Nov 23, 2011
• By DANIEL HALPER
General Wesley Clark, a liberal advocate who eventually endorsed Barack Obama in the 2008 presidential election, praised the Republican candidates for an "excellent debate" in an appearance on MSNBC this morning: "From the perspective of the democracy," General Clark says, "I thought this was an excellent debate. I thought people around the world who would have see this would have looked at this and said, boy, those Americans, they know what they're doing."

Former world champion Michael Schumacher is among the management committee members for the FIAs newly-formed Motor Sport Safety Development Fund, the body which will distribute $60 million from McLarens spy scandal fine, for the benefit of motorsport worldwide.
The FIAs World Motor Sport Council announced Schumachers appointment on Wednesday, along with those of FIA President Max Mosley (like Schumacher, a trustee of the FIA Foundation which will administer the Fund), Nick Craw, President of the Automobile Competition Committee for the United States (representing National Sporting Associations), Jean Todt and Norbert Haug (from Ferrari and Mercedes as the manufacturers involved in the incident that gave rise to the original fine).
The intention is to disperse the Fund over the next five years and to concentrate activities on a Young Driver Safety Scholarship Programme, an Officials Skills Safety Training Programme and a Facility Safety Improvement Consultancy Programme.
McLaren were fined a total of $100 million last year, and excluded from the 2007 constructors championship, after it was decided they had exploited confidential technical information obtained from Ferrari.

I loved my XD45 so much I decided to get another one for concealed carry and I went with the XD9 sub compact. I haven't had a chance to step out into the back yard and put a few down range yet but I will soon. if it's anything like my 45 I know I wont be disappointed. Does anyone know of a good concealed carry holster for the 3" XD?
