greater levels of hardiness had less postdeployment depression. Studies of deployed Gulf War veterans have found that hardiness was protective against the adverse effects of combat stress and stressful life events and that the level of hardiness was a significant predictor of health outcomes (Bartone 1999). Those with greater hardiness reported fewer physical symptoms than those with lower hardiness regardless of the intensity of the combat exposure or the reported level of stressful life events. For military personnel with long exposure to war-zone stressors, hardiness and perceived social support may gradually diminish, and the diminution can result in deterioration of physical health (Taft et al. 1999).
The types of physiologic changes seen in animals after exposure to uncontrollable stressors have also been observed in humans (see Chapter 4 for a discussion of the animal studies). In a prospective study of 348 Gulf War veterans (all military reservists), Benotsch et al. (2000) measured sense of control with the 45-item Dispositional Resilience Scale 14 months after the conflict (time 1) and 13 months after that (time 2). Veterans' perceptions of their personal resources, particularly the hardiness components of control and (to a lesser degree) commitment, and problem-focused coping decreased significantly between time 1 and time 2. Conversely, coping with stress through avoidance increased significantly between the two times. Storzbach et al. (2000) found that veterans with unexplained illness reported feeling less control over stressful events that they had recently experienced than did veterans without such illness.
Coping strategies are also associated with ability to respond to stressors. In a study of Vietnam combat veterans, positive coping strategies were found to protect against the development of PTSD symptoms (Wolfe et al. 1993c). When assessed 15 years after their deployment, veterans who used negative coping strategies—such as mental escapism, externalization, and behavioral avoidance—had poorer psychological functioning and more PTSD symptoms than veterans who used nonavoidant coping styles, regardless of the level of combat exposure in each group. Vaillant (1977) found that avoidant behavior was also a major predictor of a downward trajectory in life in a civilian population. It has been shown in other stressful circumstances that ineffective coping strategies, especially avoidant or passive coping as opposed to active problem-solving strategies, predict adverse mental-health outcomes(Arata et al. 2000; Gibbs 1989; North 1995; North et al. 1994, 2001).
In addition to a positive coping style, a perception that some benefit derives from military experience is associated with reduced potential for adverse health effects after combat exposure. Lee et al. (1995), in a 50-year prospective study of World War II combat veterans, found premorbid characteristics to be significantly associated with postcombat psychopathology. Aldwin et al. (1994) conducted a study of 1287 male veterans 44-91 years old, 40% of whom had been engaged in combat. The majority of veterans responded with positive comments about their military service (for example, a sense of mastery, enhanced self-esteem, and effective coping), and there was a linear relationship between perceived benefits and combat exposure. Similar results were seen by Jennings et al. (2006), who found that veterans in the Normative Aging Study (mean age, 74 years) with moderate combat exposure had higher levels of wisdom later in life than veterans with no or high combat exposure; wisdom was assessed with the Adult Self-Transcendence Inventory. Wisdom also correlated positively with perception of benefits of military experience and with positive coping strategies. The studies suggest that a favorable appraisal of one's combat experience or personal attributes associated with it may mitigate long-term adverse health consequences, such as PTSD.

Haryana Janhit Congress chief Kuldeep Bishnoi today launched a scathing attack on Punjab Chief Minister Parkash Singh Badal, accusing him of having two faces on corruption and asked him to spell out his stand on the matter. Bishnoi also accused Badal of openly campaigning against HJC-BJP candidates for Lok Sabha polls in Haryana.
A week ago, the HJC head shot off a strongly-worded letter to senior BJP leader L K Advani over Shiromani Akali Dal's "open campaign" against the candidates of the BJP and its ally HJC during the just-concluded Lok Sabha polls in Haryana. Accusing Badal of having two faces on corruption, Bishnoi asked Badal to come clean on his stand on the graft. The HJC chief also downplayed attempts by 86-year-old 5-time Punjab Chief Minister to forge an alliance between the BJP and former Haryana Chief Minister Om Prakash Chautala-led INLD ahead of assembly polls in the state in October.
When asked whether Badal's attempt to forge a tie-up between the INLD and the BJP would put a question mark on the future of the HJC-BJP alliance, Bishnoi shot back "there is no question mark over the tie-up. Who will put this question mark, it is either the HJC or the BJP. Who is Parkash Singh Badal, he is nobody. He is just the Chief Minister of Punjab and a part of the NDA. The person (Badal) is supporting the party (INLD) whose leaders (Chautala, his son Ajay and some others) are behind the bars."
"Badal says in Punjab their fight is against corruption and want to make Narendra Modi the Prime Minister. But in Haryana, he campaigns for the INLD, some of whose leaders are in jail for corruption and says defeat the BJP and the HJC. His credibility ends here," Bishnoi said. This exposed the two faces of Badal on the corruption issue, he said. Bishnoi said their alliance with the BJP was strong as ever. "We are with the BJP. Our alliance is rock strong, 100 per cent. From time to time, senior BJP leaders including Modi, Rajnath Singh, Sushma Swaraj, Nitin Gadkari, M M Joshi and others have been reiterating this fact that the alliance is strong and here to stay. But there are some elements who want to spread rumours. We don't care about them," he said.
In his letter to Advani earlier, Bishnoi had asked the BJP to sever its ties with the Punjab's ruling party. The HJC president, interacting with reporters, said he was yet to receive a response from Advani. "He is fighting elections and is busy. So far he has not responded. But I am awaiting a postive response from him," Bishnoi said adding "if I say anything before receiving reply from Advani, it will be premature."
Bishnoi, younger son of former Haryana Chief Minister late Bhajan Lal, claimed the SAD had violated NDA's alliance code by joining hands with the INLD. During his poll campaign in Haryana for INLD, Badal had said the entire clan of late Devi Lal had "always served for the cause of poor and farmers" and his party had old ties with Chautala's party.
When told that Badal had assured voters of Hisar during the poll campaign that he would try to make Chautala Sr's grandson Dushyant Chautala, who had contested from Hisar, as a Minister at the Centre in the event of formation of a Modi government, Bishnoi said "this shows Badal's frustration". Dushyant had fought against Bishnoi who is the sitting MP from Hisar.

Created using a bespoke LED suit and a pair of 'hacked' adizero f50 Messi boots, it showcases the direction and body movement of the world's best player. It was shot at 1000 frames per second to create a specially developed visual display that defines the new speed of light.

JoJo is set to be featured on Pharrell's new album 'GIRL,' out March 3rd. Her vocals are on track 8, Lost Quen.
Click here to stream the album on iTunes Radio.
As SXSW quickly approaches, we're now in that window of time in which the music lineup will likely be growing daily.
Wrapping this week's new additions are JoJo, Ab-Soul and Warpaint, all three of whom showed up on the festival's roster as of Friday morning.
For JoJo, it is particularly interesting, as the 23-year-old singer only last month signed with Atlantic Records after a multi-year battle with former label Blackground Music. Her last album was 2006's The High Road. And given Atlantic's place under the Warner Music umbrella, it's extremely likely we'll see JoJo at the annual Warner Sound Showcase, which typically spotlights artists with Warner connections. JoJo will be performing on Cedar Street Courtyard in Austin, TX on March 15th between 12:30AM – 1:30AM!
JoJo is set to be featured on the highly anticipated Pharrell album 'GIRL,' out March 3rd. Her vocals can be heard on track 8, Lost Queen (Freq is actually the song she is featured on. It is hidden after Lost Queen). Read below to view the track and for more information about her feature: (Read More…)
G.B.F. is hitting the big screen THIS FRIDAY and we'd love you to join us at the Sundance Sunset Cinemas in Los Angeles (West Hollywood to be precise) on opening night and/or on SATURDAY for a screening of the film AND a Q&A with cast & crew! (Read More…)

Highlights From Marrakesh
I'm back from my retreat in Marrakesh where I spent 8 days connecting with Maryam who runs Peacock Pavilions and who is the author of the My Marrakesh blog, Angela from ACE Camps who organized the retreat and some pretty amazing women from the U.S. and Canada who I was honored to work with and it was just a lovely, lovely time. I was sent there on a mission — to inspire, teach classes mostly about creativity (tapping in to our personal style mostly) and decorating, also about blogging, have one-on-one consults with each student and then provide some help in regards to how to work Moroccan decor into their own homes. This is where we all stayed… Drool away, you have my permission. :)
(This is one of the pavilions called the Atlas Pavilion shown above where 4 ladies stayed. It had two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a loft space, dining area, two patios and a large living area.)
Maryam spoke about Moroccan design, I'll highlight some of her tips as well as my own later in the week on decor8, and she toured us of her property explaining her inspirations behind each of the guest rooms and she also took us shopping in the Medina at some of her favorite shops which was a real highlight for me.
(Where I taught on the patio.)
I also shopped with them, ate together 3x per day, had a henna painting party on the roof at Maryam's, watched Casablanca in a beautiful outdoor movie theater at the property under the stars around a fire, went to fancy places for cocktails and dinner, shopped ourselves silly…It was a very nice week! A dream week even! I was totally offline (internet is slow there) and was glad to connect on a whole new level with so many special people. Sometimes you really do need to step away from the internet!
(More views of where 4 lovely ladies stayed)
I loved teaching hands-on and being a source for everyone to tap into but beyond me, the ladies had one another to inspire them and the energy was just GREAT! I loved connecting with photographers, stylists, bloggers, designers, and creative types who really embraced everyone and everything — my "job" turned into a retreat for me too! The publisher of Where Women Create, Jo Packham, was also in attendance and she'll be publishing an article in her magazine all about it in the near future. When it's on newsstands in the states, I will definitely post it so you can see it. I am very honored and excited to see the workshop in print and it may even motivate me to do another because this was my first workshop ever and I was so nervous but after I arrived and met everyone I instantly felt encouraged, excited and ready to rock 'n roll! :) Now I want to teach creative classes from my home in Hannover and maybe even travel again and do some more. I have so many ideas suddenly!
You can see some photos of where we stayed throughout this post, at Maryam's lovely Peacock Pavilions located outside of Marrakesh in a village so the property was surrounded by locals which for me added to the charm of staying in such a magical place. Marrakesh is very "full on" if you know what I mean, it's bustling and congested, packed with sellers peddling their wares, gorgeous things to see (and eat), and lots of action from snake charmers to little kids trying to sell you packs of tissues or delicious coconut cookies called ghoribas and at times these kids can be quite aggressive! So to "escape" a day in all of this to Maryam's private oasis in the middle of what feels like nowhere is quite wonderful — I couldn't imagine staying IN all of that action at night in addition to being immersed it in all day!
(I loved these gray and white hand painted stairs.)
I can't say enough good things about Peacock Pavilions — it was a home away from home for all of us ladies and everyone enjoyed it very much. From the staff Maryam has who cooks and cleans for you each day, to the outdoor movie theater and lovely swimming pool, it's simple but elegant and a very nice spot to relax after a long day in the city. Thank you Maryam for your hospitality and a big hug to Angela for being so kind, patient and helpful, and to Katie who really made the entire trip run so smoothly.
(This is the dining room in the Medina pavilion where I held private consultations with each student.)
And I want to thank my wonderful students who are now my dear friends whom I'll never, ever forget. I love you guys so much, seriously, you made this experience such a delight! Thank you all so much – Julie, Leslie, Jo, Tiffany, Edie, Sharon, Rona, Mimi, Natalie & Leigh. I feel blessed and honored to know you and a big thank you to my husband Thorsten who traveled with me and who spent 8 days with all of these ladies and loved EVERY minute of it. I'm so lucky to be married to a man who supports me like this and lets me do things that I love without ONE single complaint ever. Pinch me, I'm so blessed. What a great time – I miss the gang so much already! xo
{Update: OMG I forget to shout out the amazing TODD!!! Todd I'm so sorry I am such a dork for forgetting the man behind so much of the magic at the PP's. Your hospitality and also the way you laid out that table on our final night was gorgeous.}
More Morocco photos to follow throughout the week so stay tuned – I'm still downloading them as I have a ton. :)

This looks soooo lovely! like you said, it's an oasis of calm amidst the craziness and hustle/bustle. I presume this was in the Palmeraie area? I stayed in the medina itself, and it was like you said, really overwhelming on the senses everyday as we went in and out of our little riad. But it was definitely colour and interesting, I'll be curious to see what shops you guys visited!

I know just what you mean about the medina- completely AMAZING in all it's congested glory, right? Standing there in the midst of so much history, it always felt like time had stood still and I had stepped back a couple hundred years. Peacock Pavilion is just as I imagined it would be… stunning, inspiring, and so homey. I am so happy for you!! Hugs from Denmark!

What a lucky group of ladies you had for students!

Peacock Pavailions is incredible! That white fireplace is unbelievable and I love that Maryam has different artists stay to work on the beautiful projects throughout! I have stayed in Marrakesh before- such an amazing (and intense) city that an oasis just outside sounds perfect:) I'm glad it was a great time for you ladies!

Thing is 90% of pathfinding problems are caused by poor mapping grids. Like around hallways, the edges just slightly out so character have an edge to be caught on. If they remove and smoothed the walls especially around the entrances to long hallways, that would eliminate most problems. In some maps you need to walk back and forth under a doorway because 1 always gets stuck on a n edge sticking out. It changes almost nothing aesthetically,but reduces the handholding and babysitting one must do to navigate in places.
Seriously nothing breaks immersion when your starfleet officers are too stupid to walk through a doorway.

Negros execs revive plan for single island region
BACOLOD CITY—Local officials of two provinces on Negros Island are reviving moves to create a one-island region to hasten growth and promote organic food production.
Negros Oriental Representatives Pryde Henry Teves and George Arnaiz met with Negros Occidental Gov. Alfredo Maranon Jr. and Rep. Alfredo Maranon III and former Gov. Rafael Coscolluela on Tuesday to discuss the creation of a one-island region.
Coscolluela said he would rally Negrenses from both provinces to support the move.
The one-island region proposal was raised by then Negros Occidental Gov. Daniel Lacson and Negros Oriental Gov. Emilio Macias during the administration of President Fidel Ramos, said Coscolluela.
But he said it did not take off because of resentment from the Oriental side.
Coscolluela said Ramos had said the National Economic and Development Authority was reluctant to endorse the proposal due to the costs it would entail to set up new regional offices. "So it died a natural death," Coscolluela said.
Teves said resistance from the Oriental side was probably because people there failed to see the advantages of a one-island region then.
"But now, with numerous roads connecting Oriental and Occidental, you can see the advantages in terms of trade and education," he said.
Teves said aside from both provinces having products that complement each other, the one-island region would be self sustaining since both provinces have a vast source of geothermal power.
"We are very motivated to do it. As Governor Maranon said: Why is one island reporting to two different regions?" said Teves.
Negros Occidental is part of Western Visayas with regional offices on Panay Island while Negros Oriental belongs to Central Visayas with regional offices in Cebu.
Both provinces are also working together, through the Negros Island Sustainable Agricultural Development Foundation, to promote organic farming.

New hope for long-fouled New River
Cross-border rwaterway best known for its pollution could be transformed into a valuable asset
Like the Salton Sea, the reserve is an invaluable wildlife sanctuary, despite severe water quality problems. But Peregrin said efforts to bring the waterway up to U.S. standards are limited by the realities of life across the border, where storms can be lethal in flood plains.
"We're saying we want the oceans clean, we want to keep the estuary free of sediment and trash," Peregrin said. "Tijuana is saying that we want to make sure that people don't die when it rains."
The risks are reversed at the New River. The waterway is completely enclosed in Mexicali, so it's the U.S. side that faces the worst public health problems, said Angel at the Colorado River Basin water board.
Overall, the same resource disparities that confound international efforts focused on the Tijuana River also stall solutions for the New River.
"Wastewater is just one of the things Mexico needs to address," Angel said. "You have health, education, drinking water. I'm not sure wastewater rises to the top of the list."
Cross-border cooperation
Nonetheless, Angel said, relations between water officials in Mexico and the United States have become more professional and effective since the late 1990s.
That's when the countries combined funds to build the Las Arenitas and Zaragoza Wastewater Treatment plants in Mexicali. Together, the two projects cost $100 million, with the U.S. contributing $55 million and Mexico spending $45 million.
Untreated New River water passing through four microbial treatment cells at Las Arenitas is then chlorinated and fed into a reforestation project along the desiccated Rio Hardy, which runs to the Sea of Cortez. Zaragoza treats agricultural waste and raw sewage before returning it to the New River much cleaner.
The next step in the New River strategic plan calls for construction of a disinfection facility and a trash screen on the U.S. side of the border, along with a river parkway in Calexico. Together, those projects would cost about $100 million, McCaull said.
And as California aims to cope with lingering water shortages by recycling wastewater for drinking and irrigation, that means flows from the New River could have new value.
"In the big picture, that means that water is now usable," he said. "Not for human consumption, but for agricultural or industrial use. And any water treated for pathogens will improve the quality of the Salton Sea, so there's a benefit to the whole ecosystem."
While cleaner water could allow for what officials call "beneficial uses," it could also set up competition for a source that was originally viewed only as a nuisance.
"This becomes a pressing issue because as the drought continues, the state will have to develop new water sources," Angel said.
Mexico has seen the value of rerouting water from the Las Arenitas for the Rio Hardy, and also disinfects and reclaims some water from the Zaragoza plant, he said. The strategic plan notes that future programs will likely reduce current flows across the border by 30 percent, but adds that Mexico probably won't reclaim all water from the New River.

Dave says goodbye to Appspy
Well this is my last day as editor of Appspy.com I've had a fantastic time helping to launch this site. From developing the video reviews, to the review process itself, it's been a fulfilling experience. It's now time for me to move on and hand the reins over to the new editor, Andrew Nesvadba who will be ensuring that Appspy continues to grow, and becomes bigger and better. I'd like to thank everyone on the Appspy team for all their contributions to what I feel is quickly becoming one of the best iphone news and review sites on the web. I'd also like to thank all the fans from the website and our youtube channel for their interest and support. Finally a note to developers. I may not be r…
Fast and Furious: Adrenaline set for April Release
It has been confirmed that Fast and Furious: Adrenaline will be released on the AppStore sometime in April. Although some characters from the last game pop up, this new addition is promising to be completely different from the first instalment. This time it's all about Turf War with a 'persistent street-racing scene' where you can join a crew and conquer territories by winning races. You will also have to defend your territory. But the turf war goes even further with the ability for you to fight over territories with your friends via Facebook. There will be four locations, five modes (Road Race, Time Trial, Cop Chase, Boss Battle and Drag Race), 12 tracks and a choice between 35 cars.…
Devil Invasion Review
By now we've not only seen a slew of Bejeweled style games on the iphone, we've also seen games use Bejeweled as a mechanic for other types of gameplay. Devil Invasion is one of these games. Wrapping gem matching up in a castle defense coating, makes for a very interesting play. At the start of each level you can assign three skills to your character (which can be bought and upgraded). These spells require mana which is collected by playing the match three game during the level. This…Watch The Video Review

We'll have more info as it come out but in the mean time, check out the following Yo…
Dinosaur Slayer Review
Dinosaur Slayer by Project Soul wants nothing more than to crush you. Players will find this game quite literally hit-or-miss. Bow-defense fans will get a great new challenge while new players to the genre will find the controls much more forgiving to learn. For most levels there's not a lot out of the ordinary from a standard bow-defense game. Each 'stage' consists of wave after wave of enemies, each with their own quirk to defend against. Arrows are fired by touching the screen to s…Watch The Video Review
EA to Release Skate It in May
With Tony Hawk Pro Skater 2 on its way, it seems only natural for a line up of Skate Apps to be waiting in the wings. E.A. are one of the first to step up to the bar with the announcement of the upcoming release of Skate It, which should be hitting the AppStore in May. The controls will consist of a combination of accelerometers and screen gestures. Movements and tricks will be controlled by your fingers on the touch screen. There will be a number of modes including professional, tournaments, mini-assignments and create your own course. With extras you'd expect from a great skate game like replays and custom courses, Skate It is sure to satisfy any skate enthusiast. From EA: Key Featur…
Cosmo Kid: Bounce the Galaxy! Review
Bounce bounce bounce! Cosmo Kid wants to see the stars and visit far off worlds. With the help of his elastic band and the mysterious but friendly Kukkaja flower people, he might just make it on his journey. The elastic used to bounce Cosmo into the heavens is drawn on screen with your finger. It can be drawn in a straight line or a curve, which affects the speed and direction of Cosmo depending on how he hit it. The higher you fly, the more Kukkaja you meet. Some are obstacles, but o…Watch The Video Review
My Brute Review
My Brute is a combat and levellng game in the same genre as games like Mafia Wars. You create a character and academy, and then fight other real opponents around the world to level up, and achieve new techniques and weapons. Like Mafia Wars, you only have a certain number of fights you can engage in each day, but can purchase the ability to play more via ingame DLC. The game is pretty much on auto pilot. The fights themselves are taken care of via the computer and all you can do is wa…Watch The Video Review
Electric Box Review
Games like 'The Incredible Machine' were great fun as you got to use a bunch of simple objects to manipulate your way to a goal. Electric Box is quite similar, only the goal is to transfer the flow of electricity from the on switch to the target using different kinds of energy conductors and transferal devices. Control is all touch and drag. The puzzles are layed out on a grid, and all the objects (from steam machines to magnets to lasers) can be placed anywhere, tapped on for a descr…Watch The Video Review
Speaking of 'Chaos Rings' - First Trailer Released!
I guess Square Enix isn't fooling around with this release. A few weeks after posting new staff at game studio Media.Vision, Final Fantasy Ring picked up on the news and Famitsu got a hold on the game's name, 'Chaos Rings'. Youtube Trailer: Personally I'm blown away by just how good this game looks - easily comparable (if not better) than Final Fantasy 8 on the Playstation. Touch Arcade forum member GDSage has provided more details - and English trailer and screenshots are apparently on the near horizon. News via New Square Enix RPG - Chaos Ring @ Touch Arcade forums.…
ZombieSmash Review
Sure, you could keep throwing knights and goblins and other creepy crawlies in to pits of fire or feed them to your pet dragon, but why do that when you could be enjoying ZombieSmash! by German developer Gamedoctors? With all the charm of games like Plants vs. Zombies and physics inspired mayhem straight out of Home Alone, it's a game that keeps on giving well after you're done with the campaign. In a bid to separate itself from other flick-based castle defense games, ZombieSmash! sho…Watch The Video Review
Aftermath Review
If you want to take a more artsy view on 'zombies' in media, you could say that they've been used to represent everything from "man's inhumanity to man" to "convenient comedy sidekick". Aftermath by TwoHeads isn't your average twin-stick zombie shooter, it's almost art. Despite being so short, it's an atmospheric experience that'll remind you just why zombies are so scary. The missions follow a tiny story arc that about your survivor's attempts to navigate through and eventually escap…Watch The Video Review
FFXIII Image Gallery - Rockefeller Edition?
Critics and fans are polarized about just how good Final Fantasy XIII is as the latest major entry in the Final Fantasy series. Square Enix is no stranger to merchandising their products and if you're a fan of their RPGs you might be used to having your wallet gouged, but would you be willing to pay $8.99 for images on your iPhone? Final Fantasy XIII: Larger-than-Life Gallery is just that - a unique collection of artwork and calendars featuring characters from the game. So just how does a set of images (that will no doubt find their way to fan-created sites and forums anyway) end up costing so much? The images are in fact high-definition and can be zoomed in and out of to explore the deta…

Preference to outsiders is poll strategy, he says
On his maiden visit here after having been declared party candidate in Lucknow, BJP chief Rajnath Singh downplayed the row over ticket distribution, saying that when the popularity of a party increased, there would be several claimants.
Mr. Singh, who himself is under fire over ticket distribution, including in Uttar Pradesh, said there was no discrimination.
On preference given to outsiders, he said it was an election strategy. "But the percentage of such candidates is nominal."
Referring to Jaswant Singh's entering the fray in Barmer, Rajasthan, as Independent after he was denied BJP ticket, Mr. Rajnath Singh said he was hopeful of the senior leader reconsidering his decision.
The BJP chief was at pains to emphasise that candidates were not finalised before the approval of the party's Central Election Committee. This applied in his case too.
Mr. Singh sought to clear the air over his candidature in Lucknow, saying that a few months ago the sitting MP, Lalji Tandon, had called him up and asked him to contest from here. "I could not reply to Mr. Tandon as the decision on candidates is taken by the Central Election Committee."
Mr. Tandon, who was sitting next, nodded his head in agreement, a stand at variance with his earlier reported statement that he would vacate his seat only for the prime ministerial candidate, Narendra Modi.
Describing Lucknow as the karmabhoomi of the former Prime Minister and its five-term MP, A.B. Vajpayee, Mr. Singh said if voted to power the BJP would fulfil "Atalji's" dream of making Lucknow a biotech city and would link the Gomti and Sharda rivers.
Also present by his side was Shiv Kumar, a close aide of Mr. Vajpayee.
Mr. Kumar was making a public appearance after a decade.

iPhotos with a Professional Touch
Having been a long-term PC user, I found myself a bit flustered with all the wonderful bells and whistles with iPhoto. And while there's plenty of information out on the Internet, I needed that "personal touch" of a book-in-hand. iPhoto for Dummies filled that need. Now, I cruise through iPhoto as if I've been using it for years, and not merely months. Definitely the best guide out there.

Commuters continue to breathe diesel exhaust at Chicago's Union Station

Metra moves to clean the air for its passengers, workers

More vets moving from combat to classrooms
Local schools experience historical trend as combat operations wind down
The GI Bill, which pays veterans' in-state public school tuition plus allowances for books and living expenses, used to cap what it would pay toward private school tuition at the maximum in-state public number.
The new program — with additional funds from the government and the participating school — can get them within about $5,800 of USD's total annual tuition and fees of more than $38,000, Herrinton said.
"We were not very competitive for veterans before the Yellow Ribbon," Herrinton said. "It's a huge, huge boost."
With the increase in veterans' enrollment, "we're looking to carve out a space just for them," Herrinton said. "We're specifically looking to hire a student-veterans coordinator. The pool of available veterans will only increase."
Having a dedicated veterans center on campus is important, educators and student veterans said.
California State University San Marcos, which has 365 veterans enrolled, opened its center November 2008. It was the second one in the California State University system, opening just months after SDSU's.
"I think we had the first two because we have the largest concentration of military bases and installation within range of our campuses," said Vicki Hernandez, veterans coordinator at CSUSM. "It's a place they can study, watch TV, use computers and hang out with other people their age and with their experiences."
That's something desired at UCSD.
"Our big issue here as veterans is we don't have a space — a room or an office," said Richard Gilbert, president of the student veterans organization at UCSD. "If you go out to San Diego State, you see how elaborate theirs is."
The current influx of veterans and expectation of more is no surprise. Colleges and universities have experienced such increases following wars at least dating back to World War II. Their presence on campus is noticed.
Student veterans tend to be older, more focused and more service oriented than the general population, according to veterans and administrators, and benefit from having a community of peers.
"I joined (the student veterans organization) because of the social events and the community service projects," said Angela Kozak, 30, who spent 16 months in Baghdad in the Army and now attends SDSU.
Kozak, a work-study employee at the campus veterans center, said she focuses "all the different unique needs that women veterans have."
University officials uniformly note that veterans enrich their campuses.
"They will contribute more in classroom discussion than an 18-year-old freshman," said Hernandez of CSUSM.
Rue noted that UCSD, like other higher education institutions, is actively recruiting veterans.
"They bring a lot of life experience to campus," Rue said. "They know how the world works. They have a service ethic. But first and foremost, we think it's the right thing to do."

Yawara! A Fashionable Judo Girl DVD Box Set 1 (S) (eps 1-40)
Ashley N. McCoy - May 29 2010
Rating: Wonderful!
An Awesome sports anime!!!!!
This so far is a great series!!!!! If you like sports you must check this series out it also has a lot for comedy and romance as well. I can not wait untill they release the rest of the series.
Geoff Hudson - Nov 29 2012

Showing its age but entertaining
This is worth watching. It sort of has to be compared to Ranma ½ for several reasons: the characters are based at a dojo and school; it's martial arts; the two shows aired at the same time on opposing channels in Japan - Yawara out-ranked Ranma consistently. Art-wise they are similar: there is no 'chibi' or 'super deformed' style in either show, but there are slapstick moments. However there are dissimilarities: Yawara is Real people doing what Real people are capable of doing (Excepting possibly Sayaka who 'God cursed with so many talents') whereas Ranma does the incredible. Yawara has a greater sense of maturity about it – the grandfather is the only 'slap-stick' character, the others all act their age. In Ranma, Akane and her sisters are the only grounded people. Animego have put together a very good package here (40 of 124 episodes) with notes in the discs repeated in the booklet which also explains a lot about judo. Note: it starts of with a bit of fan service but that dies out after the first 6 eps or so. It's never done gratuitously i.e. you see panties when you would expect to, you just wouldn't ordinarily see a girl in a skirt throwing a foe over her shoulder! One could say it was a ploy to hook boys into watching the show. Lots of fun to watch.

Rating: Pretty good!
Enjoyable sports show
As a previous reviewer stated, the only real kooky character in this show is Yawara's grandfather, who is even more ambitious than Genma (of Ranma) is lazy. Most of the non-judo action involves Gramps trying to micro-manage Yawara's life (specifically aiming for an Olympic gold) while Yawara tries to live as normally as she can under the circumstances.
While not nutcases (with the possible exception of Sayaka, who does have skills to go with the ojou-sama attitude), Yawara's key challengers are a diverse international lot. Even as a high-schooler, world-class talent is testing itself against Yawara, not just the team at the neighboring high school. The characterization of the challengers is a bit one-dimensional in some cases, but they are an interesting lot.
This collection of 40 episodes ends just as Yawara is going off to college. While the odds are slim, I keep hoping for a North American release of the rest of this show, as this collection is only about the 1st third!

Per his agent's Twitter feed, free agent defenseman Ryan Suter will make his decision today. Client Ryan Suter plans on making a decision today. —PAUL OSTBY (@SHEEHYHOCKEY) July 4, 2012 So now we wait.The 27-year old prize of the 2012 free agency class is believed to be making his decision between four teams: the Minnesota Wild, Detroit Red Wings, Pittsburgh Penguins and Nashville Predators.Suter knows the Preds well, having spent all seven of his NHL seasons with the club. The Wild and Red Wings both visited the former Wisconsin Badger at his Madison, Wisconsin home yesterday and the Penguins have been rumored as "pushing hard" for his (and fellow free agent Zach Parise's) services since they cleared cap space by trading center Jordan Staal at the NHL Draft.Whether Suter chooses his old team or not, General Manager David Poile will undoubtedly hold a press conference once the decision is made public.

(LOS ANGELES, CA) -- LoveLA has released the official seminar schedule and list of adult toy companies that will be selling and showcasing products at the couples- oriented adult expo slated for Jan. 27.
"The success of LoveLA is 100 percent dependent on its vendors and educators," LoveLA founder Ian Denchasy said. "Every entity and person participating in this event has been chosen specifically for their sexual knowledge, ethical business practices and positive contribution to the adult industry in general."
Thirty-five sex toy manufacturers and adult retailers will have branded booths dotted throughout LoveLA's showrooms located at local hot spots Boulevard 3 and the Social Hollywood ballroom.
Among the retailers participating are Stockroom.com, Babeland, Pleasure Chest and Freddy & Eddy, co-owned by Denchasy.
High-end sex toy manufacturers scheduled for the show include the Screaming O, Funfactory, Sportsheets, Bonk Designs, Gear Essentials, Good Clean Love, Devine Toys, Lelo, Aneros and adult product manufacturers Shunga, Pjur, Pleasure Wipes and Sliquid, along with the support of official media sponsor Xbiz.
Babeland Education/Marketing Coordinator Kristen Tribby has finalized the schedule of educational events planned, which include seminars discussing anal sex and BDSM play for beginners, "How to Please Your Man" and sex toy 101. A variety of industry figures, including fetish model Courtney Cruz, erotic educator Midori and Denchasy and his wife, Alicia, will host the seminars, available to attendees on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Several specialty performances are scheduled throughout the day as well, including an interactive burlesque act and fashion shows featuring lingerie and Stockroom.com latex and leather couture.

LoveLA is a one-day event scheduled Jan. 27 at Boulevard 3 in Hollywood, Calif. Tickets soon will be available at the show's website for $25 each, or $40 per pair. Tickets will be $35 at the door.
The event will culminate with a two-hour VIP business-to-business social with food, drinks and good times.
