The pair have exchanged barbs in the media since their days together at Inter Milan, but Cuper said: "For me, he is a great player. We all know what happened, but I do not have any problem with him.
"In my opinion, he somewhat speaks wrongly. When I was at Inter, I must say that we always had a good relationship. One day I got up, I read the newspaper, I listened to the radio, television and I was cast as the devil. This was a surprise for me."
The Argentine added: "I hope that he returns to play. My desire is for him to have good fortune. I hope he returns quickly to play again."

CSX and City Year beautify the Boys & Girls Club in Atlanta
120 volunteers give back to the community with an event benefiting the Warren/Holyfield Boys & Girls Club of Atlanta.
Content provided by CSX
Working with the non-profit organization City Year, transportation company CSX made improvements to the entire property of the Warren/Holyfield Boys & Girls Club in Atlanta. The event, which took place on February 28, 2012, brought out more than 120 volunteers to revitalize the gymnasium, playground and other areas of the center, giving it a clean, bright and inviting new look.
Mike Lunsford, CSX Director of Environmental Field Services, talks in this video about how participating in events like this help further the company's mission to be environmentally responsible and to support the communities in which it operates.
"Our group is committed to maintaining our facilities and helping to keep our rail yards safe," says Lunsford. "Whenever we talked about a project like this, where we're making playgrounds safer for kids, that was an easy sell. Our folks volunteered, they all lined up to come out - along with our contractors and many of our consultants."
The volunteers replaced swings and the basketball backstop, cleared brush, mulched the grounds, painted gymnasium bleachers and built benches, cubbies and bookshelves. They even painted murals with inspirational quotes throughout the club.
The service day was part of a three-day Public Safety and Environment conference that provides CSX workers and contractors with training in best safety practices, ethical conduct and teamwork. It was the fourth time in four years that CSX and City Year teamed up in Atlanta to benefit the local community. CSX is a National Leadership Sponsor of City Year, which works to build democracy through volunteer service, civic leadership and social entrepreneurship.
"We are very fortunate," says Gail Johnson, Warren/Holyfield Boys & Girls Club Executive Director. "First of all, the center is much more beautiful, but second, and even more important, it's safer, especially the playground."

PASADENA, CALIF. (AP) - As planet Earth rang in the new year, a different kind of countdown was happening at the moon.
After a 3 1/2-month journey, a NASA spacecraft flew over the moon's south pole, fired its engine and dropped into orbit Saturday in the first of two back-to-back arrivals over the New Year's weekend.
Mission control at the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory erupted in cheers and applause after receiving confirmation that the probe was healthy and circling the moon. An engineer was seen on closed-circuit television blowing a noisemaker to herald the New Year's Eve arrival.
"Everything went just as we hoped. The burn was spot-on," chief scientist Maria Zuber of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology said in a post-mission interview with The Associated Press.
The team toasted sparkling cider, but the celebration was brief. Despite the successful maneuver, the work was not over. Its twin still had to enter lunar orbit on New Year's Day.
The Grail probes _ short for Gravity Recovery and Interior Laboratory _ have been cruising independently toward their destination since launching in September aboard the same rocket on a mission to measure lunar gravity.
Hours before revelers in Times Square watched the ball drop, Grail-A approached the moon and fired its engine for about 40 minutes to get captured into orbit. Deep space antennas in the California desert and Madrid tracked every move and fed real-time updates to ground controllers
About 270 family members and friends of the mission team descended on the NASA campus to watch the drama unfold on a live feed.
"This is great, a big relief," deputy project scientist Sami Asmar told the jubilant crowd.
Grail is the 110th mission to target the moon since the dawn of the Space Age including the six Apollo moon landings that put 12 astronauts on the surface. Despite the attention the moon has received, scientists don't know everything about Earth's nearest neighbor.
Why the moon is ever so slightly lopsided with the far side more mountainous than the side that always faces Earth remains a mystery. A theory put forth earlier this year suggested that Earth once had two moons that collided early in the solar system's history, producing the hummocky region.
Grail is expected to help researchers better understand why the moon is asymmetrical and how it formed by mapping the uneven lunar gravity field that will indicate what's below the surface.
Previous lunar missions have attempted to study the moon's gravity _ which is about one-sixth Earth's pull _ with mixed results. Grail is the first mission devoted to this goal.
Once in orbit, the near-identical spacecraft will spend the next two months refining their positions until they are just 34 miles above the surface and flying in formation. Data collection will begin in March.
The $496 million mission will be closely watched by schoolchildren. An effort by Sally Ride, the first American woman in space, will allow middle school students to use cameras aboard the probes to zoom in and pick out their favorite lunar spots to photograph.

Swanson Family Summer Cottage
Lakefront vacation home on Oakland County's Bald Eagle Lake, off I-75 North of Detroit.
A great place to vacation on the lake and be able to drive daily to work in the Metro area.
Winter vacations can be planned here as this is a year round cottage. This cottage is a great alternative to a hotel room for business travelers when visiting the metro area.
Included are fish poles, life jackets, swim noodles, a paddle boat and a dock if you choose to bring your boat or personal watercraft. We have a deck overlooking the lake, a picnic table, grill, plenty of lawn chairs, chaise lounges and a fire pit.
Two bedrooms, one with twin beds and a TV. One with a double bed and a TV. The living room has 2 couches. The cottage sleeps up to 6 people. There are one and a half bathrooms and a laundry room.
Included are towels, linens, dishes, cooking utensils,
No Smoking. Wireless Internet available.
Please only inquire if you are 25 years or older! Thank you!
Saturday 11 am.
I was on an extended business trip in Troy Mi which is about 25 minutes away. I used this cottage as a hotel for a week of that trip. This is everything I could have hoped for and more. No matter how windy the day was the lake was always flat. The fish would come right up to you in the lake. The lake water was warm. The ceiling fans keep the air moving so it didn't get too warm. The neighbors were very nice. The wireless internet connection made it easy to work from the cottage. I would like to go back on a vacation some day.
Being from the Detroit area, I was just looking for a quiet little getaway with a friend. This cozy cottage was the perfect spot. Even though we didn't have great weather (late April in Michigan, no big surprise right?) we had a great time in this fully outfitted cottage. So many details are taken care of: cable/internet, laundry, dishwasher and fully outfitted kitchen and all linens. We didn't get to use the outdoor space or activities, but we've already decided we'd like to go back again. Location is nice, it's tucked away north of I-75, literally on the lake, but still close enough to make trips to Great Lakes Crossing and area restaraunts and shopping. All areas of the cottage were clean and in good condition. Host was professional and considerate, the whole experience was fantastic. Thank you!!
We were going to Detroit for a hockey trip. We were looking at hotels and came acrossed the cozy cottage....the price was great and the cottage was better than we could have dreamed . even with the lake mostly frozen, it was still great. This was our second year for our hockey trip and it was the best. I hope that we can stay again next year. and we are talking about commimg back in the fall so we can enjoy the lake while it's not frozen. thanks so much Swanson family for renting us your awsome cottage!!!!
The Cozy Cottage was an absolutely wonderful experience for both myself and my family. We spent two weeks at the cottage with 3 young children and could not have been happier. We had an easy, beautiful commute everyday to Pontiac for our son and it was well worth driving the extra 15 minutes vs staying in a hotel. The Swanson family was wonderful and took great care of us. The house is in great condition and the amenities were perfect. My wife and I are clean freaks and the house was spotless when we arrived. The board games, fishing poles and the John boat was great to come home to everyday and my 6 year old had a blast fishing for Largemouth Bass. If you are looking for a home away from home with zero stress this is your spot. Best of Luck and thanks again Swanson family.
~Family of 5
The Cozy Cottage was very well maintained and clean. I was pleased to find a very well stocked kitchen. It is larger on the inside than it looks from the outside. Was fairly close to neighbors, but was quiet and the lake was peaceful and serene. We even had swans swimming to our lakeshore. The firepit was terrific and there was ample wood and lawn chairs. Beds were comfortable and the overall weekend was very relaxing. I had my mom, 3 daughters and a granddaughter (baby) and there was plenty of room for the 5 adults without feeling cramped. There was a grocery store a couple miles up the road which made getting food easy. There is also a nearby Subway and an Italian eatery which was very good. Overall it was a very enjoyable weekend and a great value for the money. (also the deposit was returned VERY quickly)
This was our second consecutive year at the cottage. It felt like coming home. We had a relaxing week. We did'nt need anything, and caretaker Joe (and neighbor) really went out of his way to make sure we had all that we might have needed. We thank the Swansons for the use of their cottage,(and yes it's cozy).
Van and Donna
9/25-10/02 2010
The cottage is located on Bald Eagle Lake, 1 mile south of Ortonville. It is 36 miles north of downtown Detroit. 45 miles to Metro Airport. Only a 15 minute travel to the Palace or Auburn Hills and Great Lakes Crossing mall.

His only threat is Novak Djokovic, and the only way to gauge how well he's playing is for him to play Novak. Who else is going to beat him? Murray? Federer? Ferrer? No way. Federer couldn't beat Nadal in a game of checkers, and certainly not after seven months off the tour. If Nadal had been in a wheel chair for 24 months and not hit a single tennis ball, only then would I give Federer a chance in hell at beating him at the French Open, but it's still only like 10:9 against Nadal.
You have to be joking. Nadal is playing badly, and not a chance would he beat any of the top guys right now. If he started out playing any of them he would lose and lose badly. He needs time to see where he's at so playing these small tournaments to test his knee is a much better decision than throwing himself to the wolves right out of the gate.

Great Oak is loaded with talent but will be tested, while top triumvirate will vie in the Sunbelt League
With 13 seniors, Murrieta Mesa is no longer the fledgling program that was starting from scratch two years ago. Jordan Ormoto and Ben Mora form an effective pitching duo atop the Rams' starting rotation. Ormoto threw a shutout as Mesa stunned Chaparral, 3-0, in its Southwestern League opener.
3. The Sunbelt League appears to be a three-team race.
Elsinore, the defending champion, lost four of the six players who earned first- or second-team all-league honors in 2012. Despite that, the Tigers have a solid core defensively up the middle with catcher John Taurinsky, shortstop Blaine Kline, second baseman Evan Hartfiel and center fielder Derek Gingrich. Though coach Chris Jones is fond of his pitching and believes his hitting will come around, Elsinore is still finding its way early at 4-4.
Temescal Canyon (6-3, 2-0) has the pieces to make a serious run at the league title. Southpaw Devin McKesson, a UCR commitment, has emerged as an ace as only a sophomore. The Titans are loaded with experience at the top of their order, too. J.T. Brown and Josh Cohen are the scrappy hitters who get on base so sluggers Dawson Lindeman, Grant Gooselaw and Sean Trimble can pad their RBI totals. Ty Connor's eventual return to the starting rotation from a shoulder injury could be what pushes the Titans over the top.
With three consecutive second-place finishes, Paloma Valley has had the misfortune of being a Sunbelt bridesmaid. But the Wildcats return a good mixture of key position players and pitchers. Catcher Bryce Macy has blossomed into an all-around player this season with his stellar defense and his ability to hit for both contact and extra-base power. Strikeout artist Gabe Greenbank has developed into Paloma's No. 1 starter, while Ramiro Gallegos is the team's reliever of choice.
For Heritage (3-5, 1-1), senior Tony Martinez brings experience to an unproven pitching staff that has struggled in the early going. Lakeside (1-6, 0-1) has stumbled early with a team of mostly underclassmen.
4. What will crosstown foes Tahquitz and Hemet have in store for an encore?
Last season, the Bulldogs and Titans battled to a first-place tie atop the Mountain Pass League at 12-3. Both teams carried their success into the postseason, as Tahquitz reached the semifinals with three playoff wins and Hemet won a pair of games.
Hemet (5-2) has drawn respect with a No. 5 ranking in the Division V poll, one slot ahead of league rival San Jacinto. The Bulldogs return only one starting pitcher (Chris Wolford) from last year, but they make up for it with position player experience. Catcher Cody White and outfielder Anthony Necochea are two players who impact games with both their hitting and defense.
The Titans (3-5, 0-1) incurred crucial losses, none bigger than 2012 league MVP Tim Borst. But coach Ron Savage is excited about a loaded, seven-man pitching staff that includes All-CIF selection Ben Moreno and Jesus Garcia.
West Valley is led by Brennan McDonough, a 6-foot-4 hurler with three quality pitches and a 4.0 grade-point average.

Indigenous people and the social work profession: defining culturally competent services.
In part, striving for cultural competence is a recognition of the profession's ethnocentric foundation. Social work has historical roots in England, and this cultural legacy may lead social workers to operate from a professional belief system antithetical to cultural values, norms, and beliefs of some clients (Weaver, 1998). "The acknowledgement that Eurocentric values have dominated the sciences and have been propagated as cultural universals . . . begins to set in motion the inevitable clash between dominant and nondominant cultural behaviors. This distinction often represents a point of friction between systems (and the professionals therein) and consumers" (Mason et al., 1996, p. 168). In the past social workers and social welfare systems have imposed American middle-class norms as rigid standards for clients (Pinderhughes, 1997).
The current NASW Code of Ethics (1996) is evidence of social workers' increasing recognition of the importance of cultural competence. In earlier versions, issues of culture and race were listed or implied in various subsections. Now, the code is not only explicit but dedicates a full section (section 1.05) to cultural competence.
Most models of cultural competence consist of qualities that fall under the general components of knowledge, skills, and values (Matthews, 1996; McPhatter, 1997). Knowledge about various cultural groups is essential for cultural competence (Dana, Behn, & Gonwa, 1992; Manoleas, 1994; Mason et al., 1996; Matthews, 1996; Pierce & Pierce, 1996; Ronnau, 1994; Sowers-Hoag & Sandau-Beckler, 1996). It is important to know that diversity exists within ethnic or cultural groups (Mason et al., 1996). Social workers must recognize that relationships between helping professionals and clients may be strained because of historical or contemporary distrust between various groups, in particular, but not limited to, relationships between groups of color and the dominant society (Mason et al., 1996). The legacies of devastating colonial histories are a constant part of the contemporary reality of groups of color (Manoleas, 1994). "The significance of difference in the helping encounter is compounded by the dynamics of power, for the power inherent in the practitioner role is compounded by the status assignment (power) associated with the cultural/social group identity of both client and practitioner" (Pinderhughes, 1997, p. 22).
Awareness of the professional's own values, biases, and beliefs is important for cultural competence (Mason et al., 1996; Ronnau, 1994; Sowers-Hoag & Sandau-Beckler, 1996). A culturally competent helping professional must value diversity and understand the dynamics of difference (Manoleas, 1994; Mason et al., 1996; Ronnau, 1994; Sowers-Hoag & Sandau-Beckler, 1996). Culturally competent practitioners go through a developmental process of shifting from using their own culture as a benchmark for measuring all behavior (Krajewski-Jaime, Brown, Ziefert, & Kaufman, 1996).
Knowledge and values must be integrated with social work skills for culturally competent practice (Manoleas, 1994; Sowers-Hoag & Sandau-Beckler, 1996; Weaver, 1997). Skills must be adapted to meet the needs of diverse clients (Ronnau, 1994). The three components of cultural competence are interactive, and none is sufficient in and of itself to bring about appropriate practice. Striving for cultural competence is a long-term, on-going process of development (McPhatter, 1997).
In addition to material that discusses general components of cultural competence, an increasing amount of literature focuses on cultural competence with African Americans and Latinos. Several current articles cover culturally competent services with various ethnic populations, including Green (1999) and Iglehart and Becerra (1995). Articles that focus on culturally competent social work with African Americans include Gray and Nybell (1990), Jagers and Mock (1993), Randolph and Banks (1993), Schiele (1996), Stevenson and Renard (1993), and Williams (1992). Readers seeking to increase their cultural competence with Latinos may consult Castex (1994), Gutierrez and Ortega (1991), Simoni and Perez (1995), Mason, Marks, Simoni, Ruiz, and Richardson (1995), and Zuniga (1992).
The literature on cultural competence is primarily theoretical and conceptual. Often models are based on practice experience but have not been evaluated in a systematic way. Among the few empirical works are Dana et al. (1992), and Krajewski-Jaime et al. (1996). Dana and colleagues used a content analysis of the literature to develop a checklist of characteristics of culturally competent agencies. Krajewski-Jaime and colleagues applied a cultural competence scale to students in an international setting. I have not been able to identify any empirical work on cultural competence with Native Americans; however, this article begins to address that gap in the literature.
There are roughly 2 million Native Americans in the United States (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1993). Although their survival in the face of decimating diseases and destructive U.S. policies speaks to the resilience of indigenous cultures and peoples, they are greatly overrepresented in the child welfare system (Hogan & Siu, 1988; MacEachron, Gustavsson, Cross, & Lewis, 1996; Mannes, 1995; Wares, Wedel, Rosenthal, & Dobrec, 1994; Weaver & White, in press), suffer disproportionately from a variety of health problems (May, 1988; Parker, 1994; Stillman, 1992; Wuest, 1991), and are among the poorest people in the United States (Little Eagle, 1993; Stillman, 1992; U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1993). Practice with Native Americans dearly falls within the social work mandate to serve vulnerable and oppressed clients. Although it is not possible to pinpoint the exact number of native people receiving assistance from social workers and other helping professionals, indigenous people are present in many helping systems. Likewise, it is difficult to estimate the number of Native American social workers. With the exception of the American Indian Social Work Educators' Association (active membership approximately 30), there is no functioning national association of Native American social workers. Although it is critical to train indigenous social workers to provide care in their home communities, all social workers must be accountable for providing culturally competent services.
I used a survey to gather information from Native American social workers and social work students on their beliefs about culturally competent services with Native American clients. The cultural competence portion of the survey consisted of three questions: (1) What knowledge should a helping professional bring to working with Native American clients or groups in a culturally competent manner? Explain; (2) What skills should a helping professional bring to working with Native American clients in a culturally competent manner? Explain; and (3) What attitudes or values should a helping professional bring to working with Native American clients in a culturally competent manner? Explain.
The study replicates a project that my colleagues and I conducted with Maori helping professionals in New Zealand. We developed the survey instrument, then a Native American doctoral student and I modified the instrument to fit the Native American cultural context. A later publication will examine similarities and differences in these indigenous populations. The areas of cultural competence examined in this survey reflect areas of cultural competence consistently identified in the human services literature. Another phase of the project will gather data from Native American clients on their beliefs concerning culturally competent helping.
Using data from the Council on Social Work Education (CSWE), I identified eight schools of social work with the highest number of Native American students. Surveys were distributed in seven of the eight schools, and two schools provided lists of graduates to whom surveys were mailed. In addition, surveys were sent to the membership of the American Indian Social Work Educators' Association, and snowball sampling techniques were used to identify other Native American social workers. An instructional cover letter that introduced the project was attached to each survey. Batches of surveys were sent to schools because exact numbers of Native American students often were unknown, or contacts anticipated distributing additional surveys in the community (that is, 25 surveys may have been sent to a contact at a particular school, but fewer probably were distributed). Although the exact number of surveys that reached potential respondents is unknown, 240 were sent. Eleven surveys were returned by the post office, five were returned with incomplete data or blank, and 62 completed surveys were returned. In all, 78 of the 240 were accounted for, leading to an approximate response rate of 33 percent. It is difficult to say if those who did not respond differed from their counterparts who completed the survey; however, respondents came from a variety of tribal backgrounds representative of the population of Native Americans.
I reviewed the data and categorized it according to themes. Initially, I reviewed the data in groups on the basis of education level (BSW student, MSW student, post-MSW, post-PhD) and gender. No differences were identified in statements made by people with different levels of education or based on gender, so I merged and reviewed all data together. It is possible that cultural competence did not vary by education level, because CSWE requirements for cultural content do not vary between the BSW and MSW level, and no accrediting body monitors or requires cultural content in doctoral education. As I reviewed the data, it became clear that many people had similar responses. Such responses were then grouped together. For example, many respondents indicated that knowledge of history was imperative. Each response that discussed history was then sorted into a group that became the history theme described in the next section. A second Native American researcher was involved in the initial stages of the project but withdrew for health reasons before the data were analyzed. Although the withdrawal of the researcher presented challenges for reliability and validity, my extensive immersion in the data and reviewing of the data over an extended period helped to ensure the quality of the analysis. The work in progress was presented to a group of qualitative researchers and modified with their input.
Table 1 Education Level Student Practitioner/Administrator Teacher BSW MSW BSW MSW PhD MSW PhD Male 0 7 0 3 2 2 4 Female 7 21 1 9 0 2 4
Respondents were mostly female, roughly half were students, and most practitioners and all teachers had at least an MSW (see Table 1). Nineteen people identified with more than one tribe or nation, with one person listing six nations. (Those who listed more than one nation in a confederacy, such as Colville Confederated Tribes, were counted as one nation.) Many people who identify with more than one nation are descended from different Native American groups or have strong nonbiological ties such as marrying into another nation. Thirty-six nations were represented in the survey with 18 represented by two or more people. The nations with five or more respondents - Lakota, 14; Chippewa, 7; Navajo, 7; Iroquois, 7; Cherokee, 5; Blackfeet, 5 - roughly correspond to the Native nations with populations over 100,000 (Cherokee, Navajo, Chippewa, and Lakota/Sioux) (U.S. Bureau of the Census, 1993).
The themes that emerged from the data were classified into the three categories commonly identified in the literature as necessary for culturally competent social work practice: (1) knowledge, (2) skills, and (3) values. All subsequent quotations are the words of the respondents.
Four important areas of knowledge were identified: (1) diversity, (2) history, (3) culture, and (4) contemporary realities. The diversity theme is important in and of itself and provides a context for other themes. Social workers must recognize that variation exists among Native nations in factors such as beliefs, customs, and spirituality. One respondent stated, "American Indians are not alike, [do not] speak the same language, [n] or have the same tribal system. Each tribe is different." It is also important to recognize that diversity exists among people within nations. Each client is an individual who may or may not have a strong cultural connection or may experience that cultural connection differently than another native person.
Another theme was the importance of history. Historical knowledge includes understanding treaties, the sovereign status of Native American nations, and federal Indian policy. Social workers also must be familiar with history and laws related to social services with Native Americans, including how the federal government and its policies have fostered dependence. Respondents said that social workers must understand the "effects of oppression, colonialism, [and] racism, [they must know the] history of U.S. extermination and 'assimilation' policies. [they must have] knowledge of the history of government relations and the creation of dependency, [they must also have] knowledge of the amount of loss on all levels that Indian people have experienced." Social workers must understand the atrocities of the indigenous holocaust in this country and the unresolved pain associated with it.
A third theme was cultural knowledge, which includes a knowledge of communication patterns, worldviews, belief systems, and values. A native person's identity often is grounded in a sense of community or being a member of a group rather than based on a sense of individuality. Although diversity among Native American groups exists, common core cultural values were mentioned, such as the importance of family and extended family, respect for elders, matriarchal structures, spirituality, importance of tradition, and issues of death and mourning. "When individuals have no knowledge base then it seems that it is easier for both service providers and clients to get offended. Actions, words, etc., go misunderstood, unnoticed, misinterpreted. It's very hard to teach, help within a culture if you have no understanding of the people, culture, rituals, traditions, etc."
Contemporary realities was the final knowledge theme. Social workers must understand tribal politics, indigenous organizations, the structure of reservations, and urban Native American communities. Social workers also must become familiar with the federal trust responsibility, federal agencies such as the Indian Health Service and the Bureau of Indian Affairs, and federal laws such as the Indian Child Welfare Act and how these relate to the concept of tribal sovereignty. Social workers must understand contemporary roles of native peoples, families, and communities. They must understand issues of loss and posttraumatic stress disorder while also recognizing strengths in contemporary Native American communities.
Skills for culturally competent social work with Native Americans are not radically different from those generally required for practice. Some skills, however, do have particular importance or relevance given cultural considerations with this population. The skills identified can be grouped into two major themes: (1) general skills and (2) containment skills.
Among general skills, communication and problem solving were frequently mentioned as important. One respondent commented, "The biggest (most important) skill I can think of is the ability to interact and engage Indian people (collectively and individually) in a problem-solving process that's based on the definition of the problem and arrival of the solution from an Indian perspective." A strengths perspective and the ability truly to empathize with Native American clients are important skills.
In addition to general skills, many respondents emphasized the need for social workers to have containment skills, involving patience, the ability to tolerate silence, and listening - all skills that require social workers to be less verbally active than they might be with clients from other cultures. Containment skills require social workers to refrain from speaking, as opposed to the skills listed earlier that require more verbal activity (Shulman, 1992). As one respondent observed, competent social work with Native American clients requires "patience, tolerance, to actively listen, to avoid 'jumping' in to say what is on one's mind. To be humorous and to accept being the target of the humor." As another respondent put it, patience is required because "generations of oppression . . . takes time to change" (ellipses in original). Social workers must respect silences and be willing to sit quietly to listen and learn. They must resist impulses to talk to fill silences.
Four major value themes emerged: (1) helper wellness and self-awareness, (2) humility and willingness to learn, (3) respect, open-mindedness, and a nonjudgmental attitude, and (4) social justice. The theme of helper wellness and self-awareness is based on the belief that without balance in their own lives, helpers are not able to provide competent services. Social workers should be grounded in their own cultures and spirituality. As one respondent described it: "The professional should have their own set of values taught by their role models. These positive values and a sense of positive self-respect and things around them will enable continued positive helping." In addition, social workers must be aware of their own biases, beliefs, and stereotypes and keep these out of the helping relationship.
Another theme was the importance of humility and a willingness to learn. As one respondent stated, "An attitude of 'I will continually be educated by others including my clients' is utmost. If one is based in academic arrogance, then they are useless to Native Americans."
Respect, open-mindedness, and the ability to be nonjudgmental were other themes: "I think it's more important for a service provider to be more accepting, appreciative, respectful of other's values; appreciate the differences, not define people by them, not judge people or cultures, but learn from, respect, appreciate, and help." A social worker must "set aside prejudices regarding race, religion, socioeconomic class, etc. [One must have an] ability to grasp [a] different worldview [and an] ability to appreciate different value systems even when it clashes with one's own."
In a theme that goes beyond respect and withholding judgment, many respondents called for social justice, which includes decolonization, and an active acknowledgment of oppression and the unique status of Native Americans. Decolonization involves recognizing, then shedding, the mindset associated with colonial processes by which one culture subjugates another and defines it as inferior. Respondents stated that social workers must acknowledge and support the fact that "special rights of American Indians [are] not based on race but on laws and special legislation. Services provided to American Indians [should] not [be] viewed as [a] handout or moral obligation - but as payment for land and rights given up by American Indians." Social workers should be dedicated to the concept of tribal sovereignty and carry through with a commitment to individual and tribal self-determination. Many respondents called for advocacy for Native American rights and cultural empowerment. Social workers must recognize the power and control aspects found in many human relationships and not replicate these within the social work context. They must demonstrate a value for change by "recognizing [their] own class bias and colonial presence; . . . [they must show] unconditional acknowledgment."
The data provide answers to the following questions: What knowledge is necessary? What skills are needed? and, What values are associated with culturally competent services for Native Americans? It is noteworthy that there are no major contradictions in the data. Although respondents did not give identical answers, strong agreement and consistency among responses led to emergence of clear themes.
The findings confirm and expand the literature on culturally competent social work with Native Americans. Theoretical and conceptual writings in this area generally focus on culturally specific knowledge and skills tailored for this population. With the exception of self-awareness, less has been written about value stances associated with culturally competent social work with this population. In particular, the emphasis on social justice in this study adds another dimension to the literature.
It is not possible for social workers to know all aspects of all cultures, but it is important for them to understand that diversity exists within and among Native Americans and to have a general sense of history, culture, and contemporary realities of clients. Skills for work with Native American clients reflect those necessary for competent helping with any population, yet some skills are particularly important. Social workers assisting indigenous clients should pay particular attention to containment skills - patience, listening, and allowing productive silences.
The respondents identified certain value stances necessary for culturally competent helping. In particular, social workers must be aware of their own stereotypes and focus on their own wellness as helpers and human beings. They must display humility and willingness to learn, rather than arrogance and professional superiority. They must show respect and be open-minded and nonjudgmental. Last, these values must be mobilized into an active stance of social justice. The helper must recognize and combat oppression while supporting rights derived from the inherent sovereignty of indigenous peoples.
This study was conducted with a national sample, which helps the reader generalize the findings to many Native American populations. Caution must be used, however, in rigidly applying any concepts to a particular Native American client without a comprehensive assessment of that person as a cultural being. As the findings indicate, diversity exists among native peoples. These findings serve as general guidelines for all social workers interested in increasing their cultural competence with Native American clients. Beyond the general guidelines, the client is the practitioner's best source of assistance in developing cultural competence.
It is difficult to speculate whether people who did not return surveys differ from those who did. It is clear, however, that surveys were returned from all regions of the country and were representative of the most populous Native American nations, making it reasonable to speculate that the findings are representative of the general population of Native American social workers.
The data have clear implications for practice. To provide culturally competent social work to Native clients, a social worker must
* understand and appreciate diversity among and within Native American populations
* know the history, culture, and contemporary realities of specific Native American clients
* have good general social work skills and strong skills in patience, listening, and tolerance of silence
* be aware of his or her own biases and need for wellness
* display humility and a willingness to learn
* be respectful, nonjudgmental, and open-minded
* value social justice and decolonize his or her own thought processes.
This study builds on theoretical work on cultural competence. Researchers must find ways to measure cultural competence empirically. This study examined the beliefs of indigenous social workers. Studies that examine the beliefs of indigenous clients and evaluate the actions of social workers will be important steps in building this knowledge base. This study currently is being replicated with other Native American helping professionals and other indigenous populations. Research also should be conducted with other cultural groups. With these studies we can develop an empirically based picture of cultural competence and better serve clients from a variety of backgrounds.

I actually don't go too terribly overboard with BOff
(I only just recently bought my first BOff slots ever), but I'll be damned if I don't take great care in making my BOffs into proper characters rather than gear and pets. Every single BOff on every single toon I have has, at the very least, some sort of personality built into them as I craft their appearance. I also take some care to divide my space and ground crews to some degree. All my BOffs are technically ranked to Commander, but I stagger the rank pips they wear to give the appearance otherwise.

This book presents a general explanation of how states develop their foreign policy. The theory stands in contrast to most approaches--which assume that states want to maximize security--by assuming that states pursue two things, or goods, through their foreign policy: change and maintenance. States, in other words, try both to change aspects of the international status quo that they don't like and maintain those aspects they do like. A state's ability to do so is largely a function of its relative capability, and since national capability is finite, a state must make trade-offs between policies designed to achieve change or maintenance.
Glenn Palmer and Clifton Morgan apply their theory to cases ranging from American foreign policy since World War II to Chinese foreign policy since 1949 to the Suez Canal Crisis. The many implications bear upon specific policies such as conflict initiation, foreign aid allocation, military spending, and alliance formation. Particularly useful are the implications for foreign policy substitutability. The authors also undertake statistical analyses of a wide range of behaviors, and these generally support the theory.
A Theory of Foreign Policy represents a major advance over traditional analyses of international relations. Not only do its empirical implications speak to a broader range of policies but, more importantly, the book illuminates the trade-offs decision makers face in selecting among policies to maximize utility, given a state's goals.

Although there's four months left of 2014, humans have already exhausted the ecological space for this year. This means that there has been more consumption of resources than the planet can handle, and over-consumption is only getting worse, according to researchers.
Demand for renewable ecological resources and the services they provide is now equivalent to that of more than 1.5 Earths. This is the conclusion drawn by the researchers from the think tank Global Footprint Network, who calculated how much of the ecological resources have been spent. It's about things like soils, fish, forests, clean water and climate change.
"For the rest of the year, we will maintain our ecological deficit by drawing down local resource stocks and accumulating carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We will be operating in overshoot," the think tank said in a statement.
Until the mid-1970s, humans did not transgress such ecological boundaries. But, over the last four decades, their ecological footprint has been larger than the Earth can handle. Growing population and increased consumption means that Overshoot Day, as it is called, comes earlier every year.
The date, which has been set at 19 August, is an approximation the researchers say, but this year it falls on a day earlier than last year. This is due to the fact that the per capita consumption and greenhouse gas emissions are increasing every year. By mid-century, humans will need three globes.
"We need to stop eroding natural capital and, above all, stop storing more carbon dioxide in the atmosphere through unsustainable consumption of resources and fossil fuels," Carina Borgström-Hansson, an expert on ecological footprint at World Wide Fund for nature (WWF) told Swedish broadcaster SVT.
May not be possible to fix
Finland, Canada and Australia are some of the countries that produce more ecological resources than they use, but most of the industrialised countries are living beyond their means.
"If we really get off on the transition to a resource-efficient and sustainable society, it is possible to reduce the waste of resources of the earth before the damage is incalculable, and impossible or extremely costly to fix," said Håkan Wirtén, secretary general of the WWF.

Some time has passed and been riding both bikes. I am loving the WRR. I took it out in the down pour this weekend and did a very fast washed out gravel road ride. For the first few miles it was a little sketchy trying to find my comfort level as the "road" had foot deep washout tracks right on the blind side of the curve. Once I did I was having a blast two wheel drifting the bike. I am having a hard time getting the rear end of the bike to feel the way I want it to. I am still working on it and it is getting better. As far as the Honda there isn't a ton to report. It is a super easy bike to ride and I had my first crash on it this weekend. Let me just say it has the weakest bars of any bike I have ever ridden. I dropped the bike doing a very muddy down hill section. It was no big deal. However, the bars bent badly from a very mild fall. I will reiterate the Honda is best for milder riding. I would like to note that the engine in the Honda is breaking in nicely. It seams to be developing a bit more power now. The bike does have a feeling of cheaper, kind of like a made in Taiwan essence. In fact it is so I guess it stands to reason that it indeed should feel like it is.

Learn to surf Manly
Learn to Surf Manly
Situated 30 minutes' drive north of Sydney Harbour Bridge, Manly Beach is an ideal place to learn to surf. If you're an absolute beginner, the gentle waves at the south end of Manly Beach provide the perfect conditions for learning. Manly village is also a great spot for a picnic lunch, beachfront promenades, shopping and eating out.
Must Do
Learn to Surf Manly
In company with Bondi, Manly Beach is Sydney's most iconic strip of sand, named by the State's first governor Arthur Phillip in 1788 for the impression made on him by "the confidence and manly behaviour" of the area's Aborigines.
There are some fabulous waves along this stretch of coastline comprised of four beaches. Freshwater Beach is the founding site of Australian surfing where the Hawaiian surf legend, Duke Kahanmoku, amazed crowds when he hit the waves in 1914. Queenscliff is probably second only to nearby Narrabeen in producing world-class surfers. Marking the northern end of Manly Beach, Queenscliff has an ocean rockpool and lagoon. Queenscliff "Bommie" is popular with experienced surfers who use large surf boards to tackle the swell.
North Steyne Surf Club marks the middle of the beach, best left to advanced surfers. South Steyne is the southern end of Manly Beach, famous as a breeding ground for champion surfers, notably Layne Beachley, Pam Burridge, Barton Lynch and Midget Farrelly. Surfing is so embedded in the culture here that there are about 10 surf shops in Manly, making it a great place to shop for clothing and equipment. Other popular activities on offer include beach volleyball, kayaking and scuba diving.
You could stay for weeks while you work on your surfing, learn to dive, roller-blade the esplanade, sample some of the dozens of restaurants and cafes and catch some of Sydney's best musicians performing live at the area's pub venues.

The United States of America has won the right to seize and redistribute nearly half a billion dollars hidden in bank accounts around the world by the late Nigerian military dictator, General Sani Abacha, the Department of Justice said yesterday.
Officials said the forfeiture of $480 million, which was authorised by a federal judge in Washington, DC, Wednesday, sets a record for so-called "kleptocracy" actions, US-based television network NBC reported yesterday. The US froze the assets in March.
"Rather than serve his county, General Abacha used his public office in Nigeria to loot millions of dollars, engaging in brazen acts of kleptocracy," said Assistant Attorney General, Leslie Caldwell. "With this judgment, we have forfeited $480 million in corruption proceeds that can be used for the benefit of the Nigerian people."
The forfeited assets, from banks in France, Ireland, the U.K. and the Channel Islands, represent the proceeds of corruption during and after the military regime of Abacha, who became president via military coup on November 17, 1993, and held power until his death on June 8, 1998.
According to a Justice Department press release, "The ultimate disposition of the funds will follow the execution of the judgment in each of these jurisdictions."

Legendary Indian singer Shamshad Begum dies at 94
More News from Associated Press
NEW DELHI— Legendary Indian singer Shamshad Begum has died. She was 94.
The singer had been unwell for some time, her daughter Usha Ratra told the Press Trust of India news agency Wednesday. She died late Tuesday in Mumbai. No independent confirmation was immediately possible.
Begum's funeral, held early Wednesday, was attended by close family members and a few friends, Ratra told PTI. The singer had lived with her daughter and son-in-law since her husband's death in the 1950s.
Begum began her singing career on radio in 1947, and her clear and pure voice touched the hearts of many listeners. She became one of the Indian movie industry's first playback singers, with several well-known actresses of her time lip-syncing to her songs. The industry's best-known music directors vied to get her to sing for them.
Begum was reclusive and self-conscious about her looks and refused to pose for photographs. Many of her fans saw only what she looked like in the 1970s.
Her songs from the 1950s to the early 1970s are still popular and continue to be remixed by music directors today.

Napoli coach Rafa Benitez insists they're taking the Europa League seriously ahead of their clash with Swansea City.
Napoli are still getting over their elimination from the Champions League.
"We must continue to believe in the Europa League, as it is an important European competition and gives us the opportunity to win a trophy. To go all the way we've got to start by winning tomorrow," said Benitez.
"We play every game to win and especially in a two-legged fixture like this it is important to score away from home.
"We are a more solid and balanced side now thanks to hard work and the January arrivals."
He added: "Swansea are a different side to most in the Premier League, as they play the ball and have the pace and quality of their Spanish players.
"It's true they changed their manager, but it's never easy to take on a Premier League side. I don't know whether Swansea will focus more on domestic challenges or the Europa League, but we do have the slight advantage of knowing their style of football."

As the dust settles after Saturday nights contest between Scott Lawton and Amir Khan the remainder of Impact Boxings boxers together with their coaches are busy preparing for a busy month of October..
Both of Impacts other big guns, Gary Reid and Chris Edwards have important fights coming up. On 19th October Gary Reid faces the hitherto unbeaten John Fewkes at Doncaster Dome in what is being billed as an unofficial eliminator for the English lightweight title. Meanwhile Chris Edwards is preparing for an assault on the inaugural British super-flyweight title in November. Chris will appear at Stokes Kings Hall on 26th October in a warm up bout ahead of his title challenge. Edwards will face Chesters Gary Shiel.
Impacts young guns will also turn out at the Kings Hall on the 26th as part of Impact Boxings 8th bill of professional boxing in the city since its formation 2 years ago.
Jimmy Doherty, now undefeated in six professional starts, will head the line-up as he steps up to 8 rounds for the first time. Doherty has declared his intent to challenge for Midlands Area honours within the next twelve months. An opponent has yet to be secured for him.
Highly rated Scott Miller will make his debut on the undercard. With an excellent amateur record of 21 wins from 25 starts and a come forward style, the former Hulton Abbey amateur is hotly tipped as one to watch.
Werrington heavyweight Alex Ibbs will look to extend his winning start in the pro ranks having won both of his two previous bouts.
Imran Khan makes up the quintet of local lads turning out on the night. Having won his debut with a 1st round knockout, Imran found himself on the back foot for the majority of his last bout in May and consequently suffered a 6 round points reversal at the hands of Shaun Doherty. Gaining a reputation for producing fireworks the talented Khan will be motivated to regain his winning ways.
Chester welterweight Chris Goodwin completes the six-fight card. Goodwin has won on both of his previous visits to the Potteries and as a skilled technician the young prospect is becoming a firm favourite with the Stoke crowd.
Tickets for the event are available from Impact Boxing on 0770 944 9279 or by visiting www.impactboxing.com and concessionary rates of £10 are being offered to children under 14.

UNION — The headline attraction for this year's Union County Agricultural Fair will be Kachunga and the Alligator Show.
October is here, the weather is cooling, and the fair is just two weeks away. This year, the Union County Fair Association has a number of events, attractions and exhibits planned for this year's fair, including the Texaco Country Showdown state finals (for both North Carolina and South Carolina), Circle C Farms Hogway Speedway, magician Mister Greggy, Simple Times Farm, Trans-South Wrestling, and more. The headline attraction will be Kachunga and the Alligator Show.
Kachunga and The Alligator Show is described on its website — www.kachunga.com — as a real American Bushman from deep in the swamps of Florida who dares to step foot into the wet domain of the alligator.
"Watch in astonishment as he apprehends a ferocious man-eating reptile with his bare hands," the site reads. "Now imagine the thrill of watching a man pit his strength and agility against nine feet, 300 pounds of lashing tail and gnashing jaws in a dangerous dance of reflexes and cunning. Kachunga's struggle with the alligator keeps each member of the audience on the edge of their seat biting their nails and curling their toes."
The site also describes the show as educational, funny and safe to view, and it assures viewers that the alligators are treated with respect and care, without ever being harmed in any manner.
Union County Fair Association Director Paul Winters said this show was chosen because of the popularity of alligator-related TV shows and the interest they have created in handling gators.
"This goes along with our tradition we've started — to bring attractions to Union that the public wouldn't normally have a chance to see," Winters said. "This will give people an opportunity to get up close and personal with a live alligator and have pictures taken."
Kachunga & The Alligator Show began in 1982 as a public awareness program designed to bring alligators and other wildlife to schools to educate students. It has since grown into a show which has thrilled and educated fair audiences in the U.S. and Canada for over 15 years. The group also has two permanently located year-round attractions.
Winters pointed out that the show will run each night of the fair — Oct. 15-19 — to give all fair patrons an opportunity to catch it.
Look for more information about events, exhibits and attractions offered at this year's Union County Agricultural Fair in upcoming editions of The Union Daily Times. For more information about the fair, visit www.unioncountyscagfair.com.
