Natural Health Counselor Degree Program Information
A natural health counselor focuses not just on mental health, but on physical, spiritual and emotional health as well. Aspiring counselors who are interested in specializing on natural health tactics can enroll in a Master of Arts in Holistic Counseling degree program. Read on for information on prerequisites, curriculum and licensing requirements for counselors.
Essential Information
Graduate degree programs in natural health, or holistic, counseling are designed to produce mental health practitioners who have an understanding of the natural healing arts. Students enrolled in a natural health counseling program learn how to work with individuals using methods that combine mental, spiritual and emotional wholeness. Those who are interested in applying to such a program should first make sure that the curriculum included meets the national standards for gaining licensure as a mental health counselor. Most states require that counselors be licensed, but standards vary.
Students enrolled in a master's degree program in holistic counseling learn about the foundations of counseling theory from a holistic perspective, and learn to recognize how the mind/body connection can have an effect on mental health. They also study systems of therapy, group and individual counseling practices, and research methods. These programs have extensive internship requirements that allow students to gain real world experience in the field. Most programs require 60 credit hours of coursework.
Education Prerequisites
While students do need to have a baccalaureate degree to enroll in a master's degree program in holistic counseling, they do not need to be licensed counselors. Most accredited programs in the field will prepare students to meet the educational requirements necessary to earn state licensure. Undergraduate degree programs that might be appropriate precursors to a master's degree in holistic counseling include those in psychology, counseling, social work or similar fields.
Program Coursework
Many of the seminar courses included within a master's degree program in natural health counseling combine methods of counseling with specific theories relating to holistic health. Students are also required to complete clinical internship experiences before graduating. Some examples of required courses might include:
- Theories of holistic counseling
- Mind/body connection
- Family therapy practices
- Group counseling process
- Assessment and treatment
- Human behavior
- Research methods
- Counseling through creative arts
- Counseling practicum
Employment Outlook and Salary Info
The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics reported that individuals in the mental health counseling and marriage and family therapy field held about 156,000 positions in the U.S. in 2010. They earned a median annual salary of $46,670 as of May 2012. Holistic counselors can work in the fields of marriage and family counseling, mental health counseling and behavioral disorder counseling (www.bls.gov).
Certification and Continuing Education
All 50 U.S. states have licensure requirements for counselors, although requirements vary by state. Most do require the completion of a master's degree, and many states will accept a master's degree in holistic counseling as an adequate prerequisite.

WESTSAIL 32 and similar
I fully agree with the WestSail owner about some of the cut and paste assessments. I guess I have to get the mallet out.
Failure to mention lead for ballast. Biased info based on lack of knowledge? Or just biased info? There''s a huge diffence in motion, moment and stability between iron/concrete and lead. Lead is usually better.
Motion/roll studies? The Navy''s were probably done on ships and not 32'' boats. It''s humorous to even compare studies of one to the other. I worked on ships and sailed 1000s of miles in 30''ish size sailboats. Short motion on a ship means you can walk the deck without grabbing the rails. Long motion means you can''t walk without grabbing a rail. Short motion on a 32'' sailboat means you can''t be comfortable because it whips you too fast. Bunk boards and pillows needed to keep the body from moving so you can sleep. Wide easy motion means you rest without them...Westsails yes, modern go fasts no. There''s more but you should get my drift.
If anyone is of the go fast mentality then a WS isn''t the boat for them. It''s a 32'' boat with 18k lb displacement. If you want to race a 32'' boat get 6k displacement fin keel rig. If you want 18k lbs in a fast boat buy a 40''r.
I could go on with more examples but won''t...just don''t rely to heavily on what any single person posts on boats no matter how well read they seem to be.
Also keep in mind that WestSails have proven themselves capable and seaworthy by many circumnavigations for about three decades. You will be hard pressed to find WS owners unhappy with their boats.
Good luck.

"It's a much older story than people know," director G. Tim Groth said to me during the intermission of "The Wizard of Oz."
How right he is! For those who attend the production this weekend, make sure to check in your programs for Groth's note on the fascinating history of "The Wizard of Oz," which starts with recognition of the novel's author, L. Frank Baum.
While the Galion Community Theatre kept to the original production, they certainly spiced it up with their graphics, live orchestra and smart choreography.
Zach James, also known in the musical as Hunk and Scarecrow, is responsible for the program art along with the creative animations and effects used throughout the play. Using pictures of the cast members, he made both the twister and the Wizard come alive.
All of the cast and crew seemed to put their all into making the production noteworthy. This was also shown through Beth Anne Jarvis (Dorothy), who choreographed her cast members. This could not have been an easy task when keeping all the little munchkins in step. Fortunately, as pointed out by Jarvis, the kids were very easy to choreograph as they picked up very fast.
Not only were the kids very good at their task, they went far and beyond even when the attention was elsewhere. A perfect example of this was the Crows, played by Abbie Brocwell, Cameron Eckert and Erin Ekin, who could be seen preening their feathers during Dorothy's introduction to the Scarecrow!
When I asked Jarvis what she thought about working on the production she said, "It's a great experience. Chilling with the Lion, Scarecrow and Tin Man has been awesome!" Offset friendships definitely affect the production as the acting comes off much smoother, which was evident throughout the show.
Even families working together can be a great experience, as shown through music director Rick Walker and little Taffy Walker (Toto). Taffy seemed to be trained to know what scenes he needed to sit down at and when he needed to simply run off stage. Now, this could be from treats, but I like to think he knew by the music being played.
Who wouldn't be moved by the music? All live, the orchestra did very well with the pieces. In fact, when the dress rehearsal was over, they continued to stay and practice. Conducted by Walker, the orchestra included Amy Jarvis on piano, Adam Jarvis and LaMar Wyse on keyboard, Rowan Kempf on clarinet, Amy Mayer on flute, Brian Treisch on trombone, and Jerusha Walker on trumpet.
Overall, the show was very impressive and I hope everyone gets a chance to make it out to the Galion Community Theatre to watch! The show premieres Friday, Aug. 8 at 7:30 p.m. On Saturday, Aug. 9, there will be two productions at 2 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. A matinee will be shown on Sunday, Aug. 10, at 2 p.m.

I was shocked when I read about your horrific experience on the Transpac. I have heard stories from friends about their race from hell but your story beats them all hands down. One common theme in all the stories is the lack of proper provisioning. I think that if you see that the boat isnt properly provisioned cut your losses and walk away then and there.
Can you clarify a couple of things? Did the Jeaneau have a symmetric or A-kite? How were the crew positions outlined at the start? You mentioned that you were the navigator, yet Jake was downloading the GRIBs and Harry was setting the course. It seems to me that Harry used your s and Jakes resumes in order to qualify for the race? Was the agreement that you and Jake would crew in exchange for free transportation and food during the trip? Can you post the link to the NOR and SIs? How did you guys do your morning check-in? Also through the SATphone? Does the Transpac allow for autohems? How did you manage the energy consumption on the boat?
I am a little surprised of the casual attitude on the part of the Transpac race committee. I wonder if they have gotten complacent over the years as the vast majority of boats racing are sleds crewed by rock stars? Im not sure you have much recourse against the RC. Somewhere in that paperwork you must have signed a crew waiver. My experience in running regattas is there isnt much money to go after one of the biggest expenses is the D&O insurance premium to defend the RC against lawsuits. As to the RC providing conflict counciling, don't expect them to provide "marriage counciling services" or the USCG to air drop a social worker anytime soon. (I think it is even covered in the NOR under the section pertaining to the "skipper's responsibility to race".)
My experience with the PacCup was the opposite. We had a very rigorous inspection a month ahead of the race. Half of the crew had to have a current SAS certificate and previous ocean racing experience. We had to demonstrate that our emergency rudder could turn the boat in a complete 360 in under two minutes and we needed to certify that we passed a MOB drill. There were countless other requirements (I have a 2 binder at home chronicling our preparation.)
Flying a kite at sea is a lot more difficult than inshore. The way Hawaii (Oahu) is situated in the trades, you have to steer really deep angles just right for a head stay wrap. Not all ocean racers may agree, but we swear by using a spinnaker net. This is a simple set-up using webbing shaped like a big letter A (with three cross pieces). You hoist using the spare jib halyard and one leg goes to the base of the mast and the other behind the stem fitting. The net is like kryptonite to a spinnaker intent on head stay wrapping. The sail just touches the net then bounces back to where it belongs.
The big difference between the Eastern and Western Pacific is the lack of islands on the eastern side. The PacCup race will place you the furthest from land in all ocean races and is second only to Point Nemo in remoteness. If you slide too far south in the trades on the way to Hawaii, your next best landfall are the Line Islands.
That is the best post yet. Great post, George.

My girlfriend's daughter was kicked out of a mother's day out program for kicking and hitting a teacher. She also hits and kicks her mom all of the time. I was googling "how to get your toddler to stop kicking you" to see if I could find any information to email her and this is what I found.
I know child abuse is not a laughing matter but this posting just struck me as funny even though I was hit as a child. Some of the "techniques" on his webpage are very familiar to me, especially the skull thump and the yard stick.

Flotsam from Japan's tsunami to hit US West Coast
SEATTLE John Anderson has discovered just about everything during the 30 years he's combed Washington state's beaches - glass fishing floats, hockey gloves, bottled messages, even hundreds of mismatched pairs of Nike sneakers that washed up barnacled but otherwise unworn.
The biggest haul may come in one to three years when, scientists say, wind and ocean currents eventually will push some of the massive debris from Japan's tsunami and earthquake onto the shores of the U.S. West Coast.
"I'm fascinated to see what actually makes it over here, compared to what might sink or biodegrade out there," said Anderson, 57, a plumber and avid beachcomber who lives in the coastal town of Forks, Wash.
The floating debris will likely be carried by currents off of Japan toward Washington, Oregon and California before turning toward Hawaii and back again toward Asia, circulating in what is known as the North Pacific gyre, said Curt Ebbesmeyer, a Seattle oceanographer who has spent decades tracking flotsam.
Ebbesmeyer, who has traced Nike sneakers, plastic bath toys and hockey gloves accidentally spilled from Asia cargo ships, is now tracking the massive debris field moving across the Pacific Ocean from Japan. He relies heavily on a network of thousands of beachcombers such as Anderson to report the location and details of their finds.
"If you put a major city through a trash grinder and sprinkle it on the water, that's what you're dealing with," he said.
As to whether any of the debris might be radioactive from the devastation at Japanese nuclear power plants, James Hevezi, chair of the American College of Radiology Commission on Medical Physics, said there could be.
"But it would be very low risk," Hevezi said. "The amount that would be on the stuff by the time it reached the West Coast would be minimal."
Only a small portion of that debris will wash ashore, and how fast it gets there and where it lands depends on buoyancy, material and other factors. Fishing vessels or items that poke out of the water and are more likely influenced by wind may show up in a year, while items like lumber pieces, survey stakes and household items may take two to three years, he said.
If the items aren't blown ashore by winds or get caught up in another oceanic gyre, they'll continue to drift in the North Pacific loop and complete the circle in about six years, Ebbesmeyer said.
"The material that is actually blown in will be a fraction" of the tsunami debris, said Curt Peterson, a coastal oceanographer and professor of in the geology department at Portland State University in Oregon. "Some will break up in transit. A lot of it will miss our coast. Some will split up and head up to Gulf of Alaska and (British Columbia)."
"All this debris will find a way to reach the West coast or stop in the Great Pacific Garbage Patch," a swirling mass of concentrated marine litter in the Pacific Ocean, said Luca Centurioni, a researcher at Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego.

Plastics industry makes its stand
Companies are using lobbying and lawsuits to oppose limitations on their grocery bags
SEATTLE Leaders of this famously green city passed the nation's first grocery bag fee last year, and other cities around the nation quickly followed.
But the plastics industry has been fighting back, bringing lawsuits, aggressively lobbying lawmakers and bankrolling a referendum in Seattle to overturn the 20-cent charge. The measure goes before voters tomorrow, and polls show marginal support after the industry spent $1.4 million, outspending supporters about 15-to-1.
If the bag fee fails in an eco-conscious city like Seattle, observers said, it will be a tough sell elsewhere.
"This amount of money is about bullying public officials," said Rob Gala, a spokesman for the Seattle Green Bag campaign, which has raised about $93,000 to back the fee. "They're trying to send a message to elected officials across the country who are thinking about similar measures."
In California, bag manufacturers successfully sued Oakland and Manhattan Beach after those cities banned plastic bags. The bag makers complained that officials didn't prepare a report detailing the environmental impact, such as the increased use of paper sacks.
"We've seen lobbying and blatant attempts to intimidate cities," said David Lewis, executive director of Save the Bay in Oakland. He likened the efforts to the tobacco industry's campaign to fight smoking bans.
"They're trying to force an expense on a city and hope that cities would drop their bag-ban effort rather than have to pay from an environmental impact report," Lewis said.
The lawsuits are working, said Stephen Joseph, an attorney representing SaveThePlasticBag.com, which has sued Palo Alto, Los Angeles County and Manhattan Beach in the past year. The group includes California-based Crown Poly, Command Packaging and Elkay Plastics Co.
While Manhattan Beach is appealing a court ruling in favor of the industry, City Attorney Bob Wadden said he's heard from other cities that fear being sued if they pursue a similar ban.
Several states from Colorado to Texas to Virginia debated bag bans or fees this year, but no statewide ban or fee has been enacted. Washington, D.C., passed a 5-cent fee on paper or plastic bags, and the Outer Banks region in North Carolina banned plastic bags this year.
Last September, the Encinitas City Council voted to pursue a ban and directed city staff members to draft an ordinance. In San Diego, Councilwoman Donna Frye and others have pursued a ban, but those efforts have slowed as backers raise money for an environmental review of the proposal, said Alicia Glassco, marine debris coordinator for the advocacy group San Diego Coastkeeper.
In Seattle, Progressive Bag Affiliates, an arm of the Virginia-based American Chemistry Council, has given the bulk of money to defeat the bag fee.
"Seattle residents have a right to know the facts about new taxes that will impact them, and public outreach is expensive," the chemistry council said in a statement explaining its contributions.
Seattle's fee is unusual in that it also covers paper bags, which the city determined are worse for the environment than plastic. Targeting only plastic bags, the city said, would push people to use paper, resulting in greater greenhouse gases.

Pampanga meat processing firm bags award
popular .
CITY OF SAN FERNANDO, Philippines—Madrid-based Business Initiative Directions (BID) gave the Century International Quality Era (CQE) Gold Award to meat processing company Mekeni Food Corp. during its 14th convention on March 11 in Geneva, Switzerland.
Prudencio Garcia, Mekeni president, shared the news last week in a letter to Levy Laus, chairman of the Pampanga Chamber of Commerce and Industry (PamCham).
"We would like to share with you and our PamCham members the good news that once again Mekeni Food Corp. had scored another first in the Philippines' food industry by being awarded the Century International Quality Era-Gold Award," Garcia said.
The award, he said, put Mekeni in the league of top global corporations that have been recognized for quality.
In a statement, Laus lauded Mekeni, saying it now serves as a model to Kapampangan and Filipino businessmen in terms of product quality and corporate excellence.
BID, a private organization, selects the winners through the principles of a quality model being implemented by companies in more than 100 countries.
Criteria include customer satisfaction, communication strategies, benchmarking, information and data analysis, leadership, planning and decision making, human resources, processes and production, financial outcome and business results.
The awards are divided into the gold, platinum and diamond categories. Votes from winners came from the BID council, previous winners and online polling.
Garcia said the award was another testimony to Mekeni's continuing adherence to the highest standards of food quality and safety.
Felix Garcia and his wife, Medicia Santos, both public school teachers, began Mekeni in 1986 as a home-based enterprise making chicharon (cracklings) and tocino (sweetened meat).
They processed the meat from the poultry and piggery in Barangay (village) Balubad in Porac town that they helped manage.
The company was devastated by the eruption of Mt. Pinatubo in 1991, prompting Felix to ask his sons to return from well-paying jobs abroad to rebuild the company and help their town rise again.
When Mekeni got back again on its feet 10 years after the disaster, it put up a modern plant using a loan from the Development Bank of the Philippines.
Since then, it has aimed to be world-class, earning quality and food safety accreditation as well as the loyalty of its customers.

Several night hikes will be taking place at New River State Park and Mt. Jefferson State Natural Area this weekend, giving locals and visitors a like a special view of the wildlife when the sun goes down.
On Friday, July 11 starting at 9 p.m. a night hike will take place at the New River State Park's Wagoner access.
On Saturday, July 12, there will be a special presentation on night flyers and owls at the U.S. 221 visitor center, followed by a short hike where the ranger will try and call out to owls in hopes of observing some along the New River. Also on Saturday, there will be a full moon night hike to Luther Rock at Mt. Jefferson.
"One of the neat things is that the park is usually closed after dark and this is a good time to experience the park after hours," said Joseph Shimel, head park ranger for the New River State Park and Mt. Jefferson State Natural Area. "Part of it is experiencing the woods at night. You notice things differently and you notice sounds a lot more because your visual cues aren't as strong."
The night hikes take place during the months where it is warm enough to be out in the wilderness after hours. Shimel said the number of people who participate in the hikes vary, but everybody does enjoy the experience.
"It varies, sometimes it's as few as five or it can be up to 20 or more," Shimel said. "It all just depends."
The hikes are free, but the night hikes to Mt. Jefferson will require a reservation. Reservations can be made by calling the Mt. Jefferson office at (336) 246-9653.
"The ones at U.S. 221 are not limited in number so you can just come to those," he said. "You can just show up for the ones at New River."
For the night hikes, it is recommended that hikers come prepared for the weather, wear sturdy shoes and bring a flashlight to help on the dark trails.
Shimel said these hikes have been offered since the park has been open and are used as a way to public to see what the park is like at night.
For more information on the night hikes and New River State Park visit: www.ncparks.gov/Visit/parks/neri/main.php/.
"Check out our website because we do offer programs every weekend between New River and Mt. Jefferson," Shimel said. "We just have a lot of different programs throughout the year."

Monsanto Fund Boosts Teachers
By Kavita Kumar, St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Jul. 31–The drive to recruit more math and science teachers got a push earlier this week with a $1 million, four-year grant from the Monsanto Fund to Teach for America-St. Louis.
The grant's focus is to increase the groups' teachers with math and science degrees. That also happens to be one of the goals of Teach for America.
Teach for America places high-achieving college graduates in urban and rural schools for two years. The St. Louis chapter has about 170 corps members teaching in the St. Louis Public Schools, as well as in the Wellston and Normandy school districts and city charter schools.
About 37 of those teachers in the St. Louis region currently have expertise in math, science and engineering — a number that has doubled in the last two years. Dustin Odham, Teach for America-St. Louis executive director, said that his group wanted to continue to have at least 20 percent of its teaching corps with math and science degrees, but that it was an ambitious target, especially as the group tries to grow to 200 corps members by 2010.
Teach for America began in St. Louis in 2002 with 40 corps members and has steadily grown since.
Math and science majors are often highly coveted by employers, Odham said. Many receive lucrative job offers from businesses, so it can be a challenge to lure graduates into teaching, he said.
"They have a lot of other opportunities," he said. "Everybody loves engineers."
The Monsanto Fund's grant is Teach for America-St. Louis' largest gift to date. The group has a budget of about $3.1 million, all of which comes from area donors. Teach for America recruits, selects, trains and gives ongoing professional development to its teaching corps — at a cost of about $20,000 for each member, Odham said.
The school districts where they teach, though, pay the corps members' salaries.
Deborah Patterson, president of the Monsanto Fund, said this was the charitable arm's third and largest gift to Teach for America-St. Louis. "If you have a math teacher that can make math fun and exciting, make science cool, then kids will like science," she said. "Kids will rise to the occasion. That's what we've seen time and again with Teach for America corps members. They can get that something extra from the kid."
As a condition of the grant, Teach for America must reach certain benchmarks such as showing improvement in test scores and increasing the number of qualified math and science teachers, Patterson said.

Purpose of the Plan Update?
This planning process is different from others because it is primarily an update to the adopted University City Area Plan (2007) to account for changes in the LYNX Blue Line Extension alignment and station locations. Primary changes to the adopted policies will occur within one half mile from the alignment. Other areas may be revised to be more consistent with recently adopted policies such as community design and transportation and updated to reflect current conditions.

Power Minister Jyotiraditya Scindia will meet Coal minister Sriprakash Jaiswal on Thursday to discuss coal quality issues affecting state-run NTPC and Coal India.
"I am meeting Coal Minister on April 18 to discuss the coal quality issue," Mr Scindia told reporters here on Tuesday.
On whether coal price pooling would be discussed in the meeting, he said that it would be discussed in a separate meeting with Finance Minster P Chidambaram and Coal Minister.
The two companies — Coal India and NTPC — are at loggerheads over the quality of coal being supplied.
NTPC, which is under the power ministry, has refused to sign fuel supply agreement (FSA) with Coal India citing concerns over quality of fuel.
Coal India's eastern subsidiary earlier this month had stopped supply to NTPC claiming that the power producer had not cleared dues since October 2012.
After government intervention, CIL had restored 50 per cent supplies pending resolution of the issue.
Last week, the heads of two state-run companies met Coal Secretary S K Srivastava to find an amicable solution to the crisis. Also, Coal India had agreed to resume full supplies even as the power producer continued to raise the quality issues.

On day one of the SSC exam on Monday, over 2.16 lakh students appeared for the first language papers—Hindi, Marathi and Urdu—in the Mumbai division.
The day also saw two students in the Mumbai division appearing for the exam with additional seat numbers provided by the Maharashtra State Board of Secondary and Higher Secondary Education (MSBSHSE). One of them is from BS Jhondle School, Mumbra and other from Ashokdada Sable Vidyalaya, Mangaon (Raigad).
"Vivek Jadhav, a repeater from our school, did not received his hall ticket, so we informed the board and allowed him to sit for the Marathi exam," said DS Ubhare, chief conductor at Mangaon centre.
At the same centre, one Aniket Salunkhe was found without a hall ticket, but he figured in the seating arrangement. So, he was allowed to take the exam. "The board has been informed and he'll get the hall ticket on Tuesday," said Ubhare.
In National High School, Bhayandar a student faced a problem as her hall ticket had not been collected. "She was provided an additional seat number and allowed to appear for the exam. The school authorities have now collected her hall ticket," said a board official in-charge of issuing additional seat numbers.
Hansraj Morarji Public School, Andheri had two students coming there by mistake. "They had actually been allotted the nearby AH Wadia High School. "One of them had come early and we made arrangements to take him to the correct centre. The other came just five minutes before the exam began, so we used an emergency barcode and allowed him to write," said Anjana Prakash, the school principal.
Heads of schools in the city were a relieved lot as there were no students at their centre without a hall ticket. "We were ready with extra blocks and emergency barcodes to accommodate additional students.
However, it was a great relief when we realised that there were no such cases," said Vilas Parab, principal, Balmohan Vidyamandir, Dadar.
In the past few days, the Mumbai division has been working overtime to provide hall tickets to several thousand students who had not received them through the normal process after the Delhi-based firm, CS Datamation Pvt Ltd, lost part of the data.
38 cases of cheating across state
The exams in the Mumbai division had a clean start on Monday as no cases of cheating were reported during both the sessions. However, it was not the case overall, as 38 cases of cheating were reported across the state.
Confusion over old and new courses
Just like the confusion that prevailed during the HSC exam, the board received calls from several students and centres about repeater candidates complaining that they had prepared for the new course but were given question papers for the old course. "Repeater candidates have to appear for the old course. We had issued a circular in this regard in the beginning of the year. So we have informed the centres to give them question papers of the old course," said Laxmikant Pande, chairperson of the Mumbai division.
10 write French exam
Students who appeared for the language exams on Monday in the Mumbai division, which also includes Raigad and Thane district: 2,16,848.
Of these, only 10 students appeared for the French exam, which was the only exam scheduled in the second half.

America's public health crisis has been well documented. More than two-thirds of adults are overweight, and more than 1 in 10 children become obese as early as ages 2 to 5. Boomers have the highest obesity rates of any age group, topping 35 percent in 17 states. Obesity is related to dozens of serious health issues, including diabetes, heart disease and vascular dementia.

Where do you plan to retire? If you're like a majority of Americans, you prefer to age in your current home, or at the very least, your community. A just-released survey by the AARP Public Policy Institute (PPI) shows nearly 9 in 10 people age 65 and older want to stay put as they age. Only 11 percent intend to move within the next three years. Most will age in a suburb, often with few transportation and housing options. These …

Put people first. That was a theme of the first national Walk Summit in Washington, D.C., Oct. 1-3. Unfortunately the message relayed by several participants was not encouraging. "I feel my life is worth less than nothing," said one self-described vulnerable road user as she outlined the challenges of navigating our transportation system without a car. The Sunday before the Walk Summit, I was driving along a four-lane road in my neighborhood and was surprised to see a young man …

"We desperately need that service in our community, but how do we fund it?" is a common complaint I hear across the country as communities try to meet the growing demand for transportation services.

China's land reclamation 'jeopardizes' PH case in UN, says DFA
More News from Tarra Quismundo
China's land reclamation on Mabini Reef (Johnson South Reef) in the West Philippine Sea is "jeopardizing" the Philippines' arbitration case in the United Nations, the Department of Foreign Affairs (DFA) said on Friday.
The case the Philippines filed in the UN International Tribunal for the Law of the Sea in The Hague, the Netherlands, in January last year seeks clarification on maritime jurisdiction and entitlements in the West Philippine Sea, but China's creation of an islet there could potentially expand Beijing's territorial sea in waters clearly within Manila's 370-kilometer exclusive economic zone, DFA spokesperson Charles Jose said.
He said the Philippines raised that concern with China in its April 4 protest against Beijing's reclamation of land on Mabini Reef that could be used to build an airstrip or a military base.
"That we are protesting, that's in violation of [the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea] and is jeopardizing the case because what they are doing will change the nature and character of that feature, which will somehow have an implication on the panel that was constituted to decide objectively in this case," Jose said.
The declaration of conduct is a nonaggression pact that China signed with the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (Asean) in 2002 to prevent territorial claims in the South China Sea from erupting into conflict.
China claims almost the whole 3.5-million-square-kilometer South China Sea, setting it against Asean members Brunei, Malaysia, the Philippines and Vietnam, as well as Taiwan, all of which claim territories within their exclusive economic zones.
Jose called China's land reclamation on Mabini Reef, which was detected by Philippine Navy surveillance planes six months ago, an "infringement on our sovereignty."
Beijing readily rejected Manila's protest on the grounds that the reef was Chinese territory.
The Philippine arbitration case includes a request for a ruling on the physical nature of Mabini Reef—whether it is a rock or an islet.
Under the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, the basis of the Philippine case, a country's maritime entitlement to a rock formation above water extends to 22.2 km, Jose said. But turning that rock into an islet could expand the entitlement, he said.
"If you will change the character or nature of that feature, from a rock to an island, of course, the maritime entitlement will become different, it will be bigger," Jose said. "Our area is shrinking, so we are jeopardized. So the physical nature of the feature should not be changed."
Jose said the DFA was consulting its legal advisers on the possibility of adding China's latest incursion into Philippine territory to the arbitration case.
China has rejected the proceedings, citing its "indisputable sovereignty" over the South China Sea.

No Worries With iFly
Shared access and exceptional member care make flying a cinch

Having recently earned my private license, I typically rent airplanes (and envy friends who own theirs). But iFly's program was intriguing, so I decided to check it out.

$500 Per Month?

Buying Your First New Airplane
It feels great. It looks sexy. You catch yourself daydreaming about it in boring meetings. People come up and look at it wherever you go.
A brand-spanking-new airplane. There are few thrills and accomplishments as satisfying and special as buying a factory-new airplane. To the new owner, a new bird is the epitome of symphonic beauty and brilliant engineering; a powerful engine and supple, luxurious leather interior combined with the latest in navigation and communication technology, which, in many cases, outpaces commercial airliners. And it's all yours.
Sunday, May 1, 2005
Buying Your First Plane
It's an issue practically all of us must address at one time or another. Virtually every pilot—student, private, commercial or ATP—dreams of owning an airplane.
In most cases, the first question a pilot must answer is the obvious one: How much money are you willing to spend on an airplane? In the majority of cases, this will be a finite number that will make the selection process easier. In others, a prospective buyer may be willing to spend as much as he or she needs to buy the airplane he or she wants. One way or another, a smart purchase, like a small fight, begins with gathering all the important information.

Effective but needs to be thicker
posted 7 years ago
I bought this to clean the cages of our little guano factories--a cokatiel and lovebird. The product works well, and the scrubbing brush on the bottle is very handy. However, the product needs to be thicker so that it doesn't gush out of the bottle and so that it clings better while you clean vertical surfaces. This product is about the consistency of water. It pours so freely out of the bottle that it's messy, and I use up the whole bottle cleaning 2 cages just a few times. Despite how well it works, I don't use it any more because of the waste factor.
Pros: Cleans well, brush works well, smells nice
Cons: Gushes out of bottle so you waste too much

|Borderline Personality Today
| Psychotropic Medications
Free Medications
Mission Statement
Q. I have been in a difficult relationship with someone who I now
think may have borderline personality disorder. I knew something was
wrong and others, including my counselor, have said he has something
very wrong. I thought all along it was the drinking. Then, I picked up
the book "Stop
Walking on Eggshells: Taking Your Life Back When Someone You Care
About Has Borderline Personality Disorder." On the back cover
it described my situation. How do I determine if this is
"it" or does it matter? Here is what I see: moodiness (I
have described him as brooding to others), sudden outbursts of anger,
blames others for his problems (two ex wives, other family members and
now me), needing to control yet claiming I am attempting to control
him, wanting to be close and when I respond saying he needs space,
inappropriate relationship with his ex-wife, headaches, psoriasis,
poor eating habits yet overly attentive to my eating habits even
though I eat a healthy diet, evaluating my hair, clothes, etc., either
saying I am beautiful, etc., then criticizing later. He is secretive,
tells things one way and then differently later so that I feel like he
lies to me. Worried about his privacy and people knowing his business.
One thing that has always made me wonder is his playing with himself.
He does this often while sitting in the living room or lying in bed.
He can be very understanding, loving, wonderful and extremely
attentive. In the same day he can be angry, cold, give me the silent
treatment. Just when I think I've had it, he turns on the charm and
pulls me back emotionally. I have described him as an open wound that
reacts to the slightest thing.
A. You've described many symptoms that are consistent with the diagnosis of borderline personality disorder. You have also described symptoms consistent with depression and anxiety. It is always difficult to make an accurate diagnosis without an appropriate evaluation and assessment period. Nevertheless, the behaviors and moods you described can have devastating effects on your relationship with him regardless of the specific diagnosis. It is rare that these types of behaviors/symptoms change much without professional help. Therefore, now would be the best time to explain your concerns to him, how you feel when he behaves and acts certain ways, how you see it effecting the relationship, and how you both can work on it together to improve the situation. You can explain that you are supportive of him, that you love him, and want things to get better. Ask him whether he would consider getting involved in therapy alone or with you. You may want to explain that if you were concerned about something physical (i.e., cancer, diabetes, dizzy spells, etc...) that you would encourage him to get treatment. This really is no different.

Column: Gun debate revives enduring American fight
With the latest eruption of the gun debate, we've returned to the enduring fight over libertarian principles that we've kept going for more than 200 years - the core tension between what's right for one of us and what's right for all of us.
Whatever happens with gun control in the aftermath of Newtown, the debate reveals what this generation faces as it tries to shape the nation it inherits: the enduring struggle to understand that delicate constitutional space that exists between my right to swing my arm around freely and your right not to be hit in the face.

The municipality of Doupnitsa is located in Southwest Bulgaria, at the foot of the Rila mountain, at the crossroads of the roads from Sofia to Salonika and from Plovdiv to Skopje.
The settlements of the Doupnitsa municipality are situated in the Doupnitsa Hollow, formed by the west slopes of the Rila mountain and the south slopes of the Verila mountain.
The hollow is open eastwards and southwards of the valley of the Jerman river.
The region possesses a wide scope of natural, anthropogenic and recreational resources. A lot of cultural monuments are registered in it. Only 14 kilometers away from the town, in Sapareva Banya, is the hottest mineral spring in Europe - with water temperature 103.8îÑ. The resort Panichishte (altitude1300 m above sea level) is at 25 km's distance. It gives a wonderful opportunity for winter and summer tourism and skiing. The resort is attractive with its beautiful and comfortable chalets, hotels and holiday homes. Marked tourist tracks reach from Panichishte to the chalets Skakavitsa, Lozan and Vada and to the Seven Lakes of Rila. Following the Bistritsa river, the adherents of mountain tourism can pass from Panichishte to the chalets Bial Kladenets and Ivan Vazov.
Doupnitsa is a starting point for interesting tourist objects in South-West Bulgaria and also in the whole Rila mountain. That is a wonderful prerequisite for encompassing and directioning the large stream of tourists passing through the town, whish is not used efficiently at present.
One of the routes is to the Rila Monastery, with which the town has been connected for ages. A convenient and well-maintained asphalt road leads there which passes along the Rilska Reka river valley by majestic mountain landscapes. The monastery is the largest in Bulgaria and dates from the c. 10. The monastery museums, Hrelyo's Tower and the church are of great interest to the tourists. Good conditions for rest are offered.
The tourist infrastructure is not developed well enough, the variety of the tourist services on offer is insufficient, the resorts bases are not well-provided with utilities, the mountain routes are not well-marked, the advertising and information system for tourist services does not function well. A general improvement of the economic base and the technical infrastructure could turn tourism into a priority branch in the municipality.
