Robert Huth powered home a 51st-minute header to help Stoke to a 2-0 victory, making Steve Kean's first game in permanent charge of Blackburn a miserable one.
Huth pounced to angle the ball home from Matthew Etherington's cross and Marc Wilson rounded off a fine win for Tony Pulis' side in injury time.
Rovers threatened only through half-chances for Mame Biram Diouf and Brett Emerton and left Kean to hear his side being booed off at the whistle.

A Kentucky man who is wanted for sending life-threatening messages to a Grant County woman is in a Florida jail for allegedly killing a man with a hatchet.

Setting custom Admin theme from a Module
Frontend templates are simple to change via Admin, from
default/default to
default/mytheme. The Admin templates take a little more work, but it's easy to do. This method was tested under Magento 188.8.131.52.
These steps apply within a Magento module. There are many tutorials on creating a basic module, so we will not repeat it here. All you need are the basic module directories, the module's xml file under
/app/etc/modules, and a skeleton
config.xml for your module.
Create a Theme Directory
Create a directory for your theme
/app/design/adminhtml/default/mytheme and copy any templates, layouts, and locale you need. This works the same way as the frontend themes.
Edit your config.xml
In your
config.xml file, under the
<config> section, add this:
- <stores>
- <admin>
- <design>
- <package>
- <name>mytheme</name>
- </package>
- <theme>
- <default>mytheme</default>
- </theme>
- </design>
- </admin>
- </stores>
Or leave default Magento install intact –and extend default– by creating /app/etc/local.xml ( start with a duplicate of /app/etc/config.xml ), and add:
- <stores>
- <admin>
- <design>
- <package>
- <name>default</name>
- </package>
- <theme>
- <default>mytheme</default>
- </theme>
- </design>
- </admin>
- </stores>
You'll also have to create folders:
- /app/design/adminhtml/default/mytheme
- /skin/adminhtml/default/mytheme
And add stuff you need customized there. This last approach will give you fall-back to the default package (or whatever package you wish to extend).
An advantage of extending a package is that you only have to add things you need changed. Magento will use the extended package when no alternative is available in the extending theme. This might not always be what you want, because Magento will not throw exceptions anymore if a module is unimplemented in your theme.

Meaningful Holidays
Make Two Gift Lists
Alongside the wish list of things, start a "gratitude gift list" tradition. Each family member can decorate lovely pages in a journal or individual sheets of paper to make a special list of all the people and things you are each grateful for. Keep the lists in a special box to look back on-or add to-each year.
Recognize the Differences
As excited as your child might be for Santa's visit, Santa might not be stopping at his friend's home. In acknowledging this, rather than focus on an absence of Christmas, re-frame the conversation positively: Arjun will celebrate Diwali; Abdul will celebrate Eid; Joshua will celebrate Hanukkah, and so on.
Most schools will include some treatment of other holidays, but you can help that learning stick and remove the mystery by reading stories about various celebrations, asking diverse friends if you can join them for their festivities and inviting them to yours. This can serve as a powerful beginning in a lifetime of respectful learning and understanding.
Incorporate New Traditions
Whatever you celebrate, there may be significant cultural variations-in decorations, foods, stories, entertaining, and gift giving-that could add sparkle to your holiday, as well as greater meaning and deeper connections with others around the world.
Perhaps you can learn to make a favorite dessert your grandmother's grandmother made for her, sharing this heritage with the rest of the family; honor the memory of a person or place that impacted your past; encourage an interest your child has been showing (e.g., one of my daughters loved stories set in Paris, and another was fascinated by ancient Egypt, so we found recipes and decorations from those cultures); or add touches with arts and crafts inspired from places as varied as Guatemala, Germany or Ghana.
Happy New Year
Celebrate the stroke of midnight on January 1 in Barcelona when it's 6 pm US Eastern Standard Time (EST), in London or Lagos at 7 pm EST, or in Casablanca at 8 pm EST. Most little ones can't stay up until midnight at home, but you can create an exciting celebration going from city to city at their "midnight," simultaneously introducing new cultures, and a fun science, math and geography lesson on time zones. Enjoy other New Year celebrations throughout the year, like Lunar New Year, commonly referred to as Chinese New Year, or the first day of spring, the Persian New Year.
Make Giving Back as Natural as Getting
If children grow up in a sharing culture, then giving to others over the holidays becomes a cherished tradition they will remember throughout their lives. Don't expect youngsters to give up presents, but add efforts like serving food or choosing gifts for a local shelter, giving a tangible gift like a goat or hen, or sponsoring a child's education in another country. When looking for presents you can wrap up with a bow, shop together through on-line catalogues with a charitable mission. It feels good to do good.
Opening up our holidays with the gifts of the world can serve as an enriching, yet simple and budget-friendly way to instill good cheer, lasting memories and deeper ties within and across all kinds of families, near and far.

Fear not: 'Zombie' foreclosure numbers drop in metro Phoenix
PHOENIX -- There are fewer zombies in the Valley these days but we're not talking about the kind you see in horror movies.
Zombie foreclosures are properties that have started the foreclosure process but have never been foreclosed, and the owner has already left the property.
"(The Valley) has a pretty big number -- 1,068 -- but among all metro areas nationwide with a population of 200,000 or more, that's No. 25 on the list," said Daren Blomquist, a vice president with Realty Trac, a real estate information company.
But Greater Phoenix has half as many homes in limbo as this time last year, and about 25 percent fewer than in the first quarter of 2014. Blomquist said that's a sign the housing market is improving.
"The fact that that number is coming down is a positive sign that the market is clearing the inventory of the often called, �shadow inventory' of foreclosures," he said.
The news isn't all good, though. Blomquist said Valley cities are still missing out on property tax revenue because the average tax on a property is about $2,200 annually.

THE INTERNET is reputedly the coolest place on the planet. It's even reputed to be useful. You've read about the Net. You've watched TV programmes about it. You hear about some of the best parties in Real LifeTM on the Net. It's even reputed to be useful. You don't have £2000 for decent hardware rattling around in your piggy bank, so you ve never been "there". But come September you are finally going to get your hands on it at college.

First, a little clarification of what the Internet is. TV programmes hungry for visuals are likely to convey the impression that it's a multimedia publishing project, with online fashion shows and - oh, yes - virtual sex. It isn't. The multimedia publishing you see is the World Wide Web.

Astrology Today
DVD Review: Astrology Today & The Tao of the Astrological Voyager
This DVD is composed of two different movies: "Astrology Today" and "The Tao of the Astrological Voyager".
Astrology Today
The movie makes an excellent introduction to astrology, going from the history of astrology to nowadays issues of astrology in the society, presenting its philosophical, pshychological and humanistic basis.
It starts with the question: "What is astrology? To most, mention of the word astrology brings to mind popular horoscopes found in newspapers or magazines - based on a particular month an individual is born in, a person may find is personal horoscope based on that particular sign." Then it passes to explain that astrology is much more than that, it actually is our connection to the universe.
"Any moment of time has its own unique qualities.Anything born on that moment, takes the qualities of it." (Kark Jung) This is what a horoscope is: a quality of the moment represented in that chart and in that an infinite number of possibilities in personality, expressions, vocational, medical, relationships issues and timing of when that chart is activated by transits and progressions.
One speaker confesses that nothing has brought him closer to God than the study of astrology. Another one continues that astrology is the life within the Universe. It's just being able to recognize that we are part of the Universe and we are all tied together in a rhythmic process.
The bottom-line idea is that embedded with the symbols of astrology lies a rich and a deep spirituality and that the study of astrology is a tool for great understanding and self realization to aiden the process of individuation and evolution of the self.
Interviews with Ray Merriman, Monica Dimino, Chris McRae and Glen Perry, astrologers.

The Tao of the Astrological Voyager
The Tao of the Astrological Voyager, the second movie of this DVD, is actually a story on martial arts and a some kind of allegorical astrological initiation of a martial art practitioner. This movie, I didn't quite enjoy, as I have a natal Libra Mars, I'm not quite comfortable with any more aggressive approach to any field, but maybe this would be okay for some others.
Produced also by Typhon Vision Productions.

Final Score: NY Rangers 5, Philadelphia 3
Philadelphia, PA (Sports Network) - Jaromir Jagr scored two power-play goals in the third period to lift the New York Rangers to a season-opening 5-3 victory over the Philadelphia Flyers, as the NHL returned to the Wachovia Center for the first time since May of 2004. All 30 teams in the league were in action on Wednesday night following the 10-month lockout that caused the cancellation of the entire 2004-05 season.
Jason Strudwick, Michael Nylander and Marcel Hossa each added a goal for the Rangers, who won only once in six games against Philadelphia in 2003-04. Kevin Weekes allowed three goals on 27 shots for the Rangers, who are now 31-35-13 all-time in season openers.
Star forward Peter Forsberg made his debut and recorded a pair of assists for the Flyers, who fell to 17-14-7 in season-opening contests. Mike Richards, Mike Knuble and Simon Gagne scored for the Flyers, whose last NHL game ended with a loss in Game 7 of the 2004 Eastern Conference Finals. Eric Desjardins also added two assists.
The Flyers rebuilt a large portion of their roster during and after the labor stoppage. Stalwart forwards John LeClair, Marc Recchi, Jeremy Roenick and Tony Amonte are gone, while Forsberg, rugged forwards Knuble and Turner Stevenson, and veteran defensemen Derian Hatcher and Mike Rathje now skate for Philadelphia.
New York failed to make the playoffs in the previous seven seasons before the lockout and also looks much different since the spring of 2004. While Jagr is obviously still with the club, Eric Lindros and Mark Messier are not. Lindros signed with Toronto and Messier retired. Longtime Ranger great Brian Leetch, who was dealt to the Maple Leafs near the '04 trade deadline, is now with Boston.
Five minutes after he tied the game at 3-3 in the third period, Jagr scored another power-play goal in similar fashion to put the Rangers ahead for good. After Forsberg was whistled for tripping at 10:44, Jagr held the puck inside the right circle and fired a wrist shot past goaltender Robert Esche at 11:26.
"He wasn't expecting me to shoot," said Jagr of Esche.
Less than a minute later, with 8:01 to play in regulation, the Rangers put the game away when Hossa punched home a rebound from the right post after a low turnaround shot from Steve Rucchin.
Esche allowed five goals on 27 shots.
"I've felt pretty confident shaking off losses before," said Esche. "I want to win every night. It is very frustrating."
The Flyers scored just once on 10 power play chances. In contrast, New York made good on two of its four opportunities with the extra skater, with both goals coming off the stick of Jagr in the third.
Despite the heavily-favored Flyers controlling the action with physical play through the early stages of the opening period, it was the Rangers who scored the game's first goal. A slapshot by Nylander was deflected by Strudwick and beat Esche at 9:31.
Just over two minutes later, the game was tied. Forsberg wasted little time making an impact on his new team, as he broke in with Gagne on a 2-on-1 and slipped a pass through the slot before Gagne ripped it home at 11:39.
A major change that comprises the new NHL is the mandate on the referees to enforce the rules in a more strict fashion. In the recent exhibition games, this resulted in many more penalties called and thus more power-play chances.
This game was no different. Shortly after the goal by Gagne, the Rangers were called for two infractions in a 37-second span that gave the Flyers a two-man advantage. Jagr was called for hooking and Darius Kasparaitis was whistled for high-sticking. Philadelphia used the extra space well and moved the puck down low before Forsberg found Knuble in the low slot. The former Boston Bruin beat Weekes for his first goal as a Flyer with 6:06 remaining in the first period.
Richards is one of the Flyers' top young forwards and his first NHL marker gave Philly a 3-1 lead in the middle stanza. He took a nice feed from Desjardins at the blue line, held off New York defenseman Fedor Tyutin through the slot and beat Weekes on a partial breakaway at the 7:23 mark.
The Rangers had a great chance to move within one when they were awarded a penalty shot midway through the middle stanza. Nylander took the disc from center ice and made a nice backhand move that clearly beat Esche, but his shot hit the crossbar and bounced away.
However, with just over three minutes remaining in the second, Nylander gained his revenge and made it a 3-2 game. He took advantage of a failed clearing pass by the Flyers and used a blazing turnaround slapshot to beat Esche up high.
Also in the second frame, Philadelphia wasted two separate two-man advantage opportunities that could have increased its lead and it came back to hurt the Flyers when Jagr tied it up at 6:28 of the third. Rookie Jon Sim went to the box for a high-sticking minor, and Jagr made the Flyers pay from the right circle.
"We had a couple chances to go up 4-1, but credit them, they outplayed us," Forsberg said.
Game Notes
Hatcher, who nursed a sore knee through most of training camp, did not play...Philadelphia lost just once in the preseason (6-1-0)...Despite the loss, the Flyers have still won 10 of the last 14 meetings overall...Philadelphia will host rival New Jersey here on Friday. The Rangers will host Montreal on Thursday.

Alfred Dreyfus (9 October 1859 – 12 July 1935) was a French artillery officer of Jewish background whose trial and conviction in 1894 on charges of treason became one of the most tense political dramas in modern French and European history. It is still known today as the Dreyfus Affair.
Born in Mulhouse (Mülhausen) in Alsace, Dreyfus was the youngest of seven children in the family of a prosperous Jewish textile manufacturer who moved to Paris from Alsace after the Franco-Prussian War, after which Alsace-Lorraine was annexed by the German Empire in 1871. The family had long been established in the area that traditionally had been German-speaking.
Dreyfus graduated from the elite École Polytechnique military school in Paris, where he received military training and thorough scientific studies in 1880 as a sub-lieutenant. His entry into the military was influenced by the experience of seeing Prussian troops enter his hometown in 1871 when he was eleven years old. From 1880 to 1882 he attended the artillery school at Fontainebleau to receive more specialized training as an artillery officer. On graduation he was attached to the first division of the 32nd Cavalry Regiment and promoted to lieutenant in 1885. In 1889 he was made adjutant to the director of the Établissement de Bourges, a government arsenal, and promoted to captain.
On 18 April 1891, Dreyfus married Lucie Hadamard (1870-1945). They had two children, Pierre and Jeanne. Three days after the wedding, Dreyfus received notice that he had been admitted to the École Supérieure de Guerre or War College. Two years later, in 1893, he graduated ninth in his class with honorable mention and was immediately designated as a trainee in the French Army's General Staff headquarters, where he would be the only Jewish officer. His father Raphaël died on 13 December 1893.
At the War College examination in 1892, his friends had expected him to do well. However, one of the members of the panel, General Bonnefond, felt that "Jews were not desired" on the staff, and gave Dreyfus poor marks, lowering his overall grade; he did the same thing for another Jewish candidate, Lieutenant Picard. Learning of this injustice, the two officers lodged a protest with the director of the school, Gen. Lebelin de Dionne, who expressed his regret for what had occurred, but said he was powerless to take any steps in the matter. The protest would later count against Dreyfus.
In 1894, the French Army's counter-intelligence section, led by Lt. Col. Sandherr, became aware that some new artillery information was being passed to the Germans by a highly-placed spy most likely to be in the General Staff. With anti-Semitism still widespread in many parts of French society, particularly in the conservative military, suspicion quickly fell upon Dreyfus, who was arrested for treason on 15 October 1894. The events that follow until his eventual exoneration on 12 July 1906 are chronicled in the article on the Dreyfus Affair. On 5 January 1895, Dreyfus was summarily convicted in a secret court martial, publicly stripped of his army rank, and sentenced to life imprisonment on Devil's Island in French Guiana.
In August 1896 the new chief of French military intelligence, Lt Colonel Picquart, reported to his superiors that he had found evidence to the effect that the real traitor was a Major Ferdinand Walsin Esterhazy. Lt Col Picquart was silenced by being transferred, in November 1896, to the southern desert of Tunisia. When reports of an army cover-up and Dreyfus's possible innocence were leaked to the press, a heated debate ensued about anti-Semitism and France's identity as a Catholic nation and a republic founded on equal rights for all citizens. On 19 September 1899, following a passionate campaign by his supporters, including leading artists and intellectuals like Émile Zola, Dreyfus was pardoned by President Émile Loubet and left the prison. During that time he lived with one of his sisters at Carpentras, and later at Cologny.
Dreyfus was present at the ceremony removing Émile Zola's ashes to the Panthéon in 1908, when he was wounded in the arm by a gunshot from Louis Gregori, a disgruntled journalist, in an assassination attempt.
On 12 July 1906, Dreyfus was officially exonerated by a military commission. The day after his exoneration, he was readmitted into the army with the rank of Major ("Chef d'Escadron"). A week later, he was made a Knight of the Legion of Honour, and subsequently assigned to command an artillery unit at Vincennes. On 15 October 1906, he was placed in command of another artillery unit at Saint-Denis.
Dreyfus' time in prison, notably at Devil's Island, had been difficult on his health, and he was granted early retirement in October 1907. He volunteered, however, to serve again as a lieutenant-colonel during World War I and thus held several commands including in the Paris region. He eventually served in front-line duty as well, during 1917, although he had by that time reached normal retirement age. Finally, Lt Colonel Dreyfus was raised to the rank of Officer of the Legion of Honor in November 1918. Dreyfus' son, Pierre, served in numerous battles as an artillery captain and managed to survive the entire war. Pierre was awarded the Croix de Guerre for his services.
Dreyfus died in Paris aged 75, on 12 July 1935, 29 years to the day after his official exoneration. Two days later, his funeral cortège passed the Place de la Concorde through the ranks of troops assembled for the Bastille Day National Holiday (14 July 1935). He was interred in the Cimetière du Montparnasse, Paris. The inscription on his tombstone is in Hebrew and French. It reads (translated to English):
Today, a statue of Dreyfus holding his broken sword stands at the entrance to the Museum of Jewish Art and History in Paris.
The actor Richard Dreyfuss, the actress Julia Louis-Dreyfus, and Lauren Robinson are distantly related to Alfred Dreyfus.

Dancing With The Stars
DWTS Season 13 Injury Tally: Who's Gotten Hurt So Far?
Dancing With the Stars is a sequin-filled minefield.
Each week the celeb dancers and their pro partners tax their bodies with new moves they must learn quickly in a punishing and relentless schedule. Injuries are common. By Season 13, Week 4, every couple had some bangs and bruises and several dancers had already received medical attention. Here's the major injury roundup so far:
Ricki Lake: Ricki had the first injury of the season, tweeting a photo of her bruised leg. At first it seemed to be a twisted ankle, but it turned out that she cut her heel into her shin. Supposedly a medic showed up to take her to the hospital, but she didn't need it. Overkill? Maybe the doctors just wanted to time themselves getting to the studios, since injuries happen so often on this show.
Elisabetta Canalis: Elisabetta dislocated her shoulder while practicing with Val Chmerkovskiy but, strangely enough, she wasn't phased. "It happens all the time," Elisabetta said on Ellen. "Since I was a little kid." When her shoulder pops out, she just pops it back in. Sadly Elisabetta's shoulder trick couldn't save her from elimination on Week 2.
Derek Hough: Speaking of popping shoulders, the same thing happen to Derek before the Week 4 Results Show. Derek dislocated his shoulder, telling On the Red Carpet, "it popped in and out." But he still continued to dance on Tuesday night because it was so important to him to dance with his sister, Julianne Hough, for her big return to the ballroom.
Chaz Bono: Chaz started having knee and ankle problems right away and pain still seems to be a big issue for him. His partner, Lacey Schwimmer, had her physical therapist drive in to give him some treatment and Chaz's mom, Cher, also sent her doctors to help. After the Week 4 Results Show, Lacey and Chaz reeled off their list of pain remedies. "Ice, Aleve, massage, a little physical therapy, acupuncture," Chaz said. Lacey went into great detail about the things they've tried, including something called "cupping."
Tony Dovolani: Tony limped into the Celebriquarium after his Week 4 Tango with celeb partner Chynna Phillips because he was still injured from the sprained ankle he suffered during dress rehearsals Monday night. According to TV Guide, Tony's ankle twisted on the floor after the crew did a test run of the dreaded smoke machine. "The fog sometimes leaves a little oil slick in its wake," said one staffer. "It can really be slippery." That thing is the real Psycho killer! It wasn't Tony's first big injury of the season, either. The week before, Tony hurt his shoulder and his best friend Maksim Chmerkovskiy drove him to the hospital, while they were attacked by paparazzi.

The original "Dead Space" breathed new life into the survival horror genre when the game hit consoles in 2008, and its briskly-paced sequel sacrifices none of the terrifying, unsettling atmosphere that made the original so special.
The developers at Visceral Games force the player to endure a constant struggle that is the essence of survival horror. Playing "Dead Space 2," I felt the same feelings I did while playing the first Resident Evil titles on the Playstation 1.
Playing "Dead Space 2″ is a stressful experience. It's not for the faint of heart and will try one's patience, but with Dead Space 2, Visceral Games now holds title to the finest survival horror franchise in gaming.

Kathleen Peine: The unemployment report came out recently, and Punxatawny Phil saw a service sector job — that means six more years of growth. Or something like that. It's all very complicated.
Progressive Media Advocates
Treva Brandon Scharf: Confident people don't bash themselves; they don't let negative thinking and self-loathing screw up a good workout or undermine their progress.
Edward Wasserman: The larger question, to me, was less why she did what she did, but why everybody seemed to care so much, and why her case provoked so much anger.
Joe Mathews: But with immigration flatlining and the climate drying up, it may soon be.

This Saturday, Aug. 30, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. in front of Taylor's Building Supply in Eastpoint, there will be a benefit for Franklin County seventh grader Jose A. Pineda.
Complete mullet dinners are $7. All donations accepted.
Pineda was diagnosed with scoliosis eight months ago, and it has advanced to the point where he needs surgery. It has affected his lungs, which causes breathing difficulty. Without surgery, his lung could collapse.
Pineda's family does not have health insurance, and cost of the procedure is around $100,000. The family recently moved to Franklin County, and the parents do not have a stable job. The family is going to Pensacola for treatment, a five hour trip but one of only two places in the state that can address the problem.

The Mullah's Enforcers—Iran's Revolutionary Guard
NEW YORK, NY—In the aftermath of the 1979 Islamic revolution, Khomeini disbanded the Shah's secular government, including its American trained armed forces. The secular government agencies were viewed with suspicion by the up- and- coming Iranian clerics who worked ferociously to consolidate their grip on the Iranian nation.
Khomeini created the Revolutionary Guard, a parallel military force fiercely loyal to the Iranian Mullahs. The Revolutionary Guard's mission is to protect the Islamic Republic by keeping the ruling clerics in power.
The Iran's Supreme Leader has used the Guard to brutally suppress the recent uprisings in Iran, challenging the re-election of Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to a second term as the country's President.
But there is more to the Revolutionary Guard that meets the eye. Today, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard has infiltrated all facets of Iranian society from defense to commerce. The Guard and its front companies dominate the Iranian economy. Large government contracts are awarded to Guard owned enterprises, depriving the ordinary Iranian businesses from sharing in the country's oil revenues.
The Revolutionary Guard relies heavily on recruiting youngsters from poor, illiterate, families whose loyalties are easily bought by promising lucrative pay and benefits.
Many of those youngsters are trained by the Guard to engage in terrorist activities. The Mohammad Rassoul-o Allah battalion of the Revolutionary Guard has been active in recruiting youngsters from villages in the oil rich region of Khuzistan. According to Iran Focus, these recruits are being trained to carry out terrorist operations.
The base salary for the young recruits ranges from $400-500.00 per month. This is a substantial salary for young people without high school education living in a country where the unemployment amongst the young people is around 70%.
The Guard is also active in carrying out a number of illegal activities, chief among them smuggling goods into the country.
From their base in the southern Iranian island of Qeshm, the Iranian Revolutionary Guard smuggles large quantities of goods into the country without any inspection.
From the south-eastern province of Sistan-va-Baluchestan, the Guard smugglers illegally enter Pakistan and bring into Iran a variety of foreign made goods including illicit drugs.
Since the inception of the Islamic Republic, the incidents of drug addiction among the Iranian population have skyrocketed.
Even the Iranian government's budget is not immune from interference by the Revolutionary Guard.
Last year, a large sum of money allocated in the budget for the purchase of live stock went missing. According to Iran Focus, the money was believed to have been stolen by government officials and diverted for use by the Revolutionary Guard.
The alleged scheme involved purchasing sick live stock from Venezuela at deep discounts and pocketing the difference. In some cases, the live stocks were so sick that the Iranian officials obtained it for free.

Patrol is an independent daily magazine where young writers explore their interactions with art, culture, politics, and religion.
Patrol comes to life amid the conflicts between faith and science, religion and politics, the church and the arts, humanity and technology. Those are huge topics with vast implications—implications we think it's important to engage with, publicly and without reservation, for the good of both our own and the good of the culture we're a part of. That's what we're about. Patrol aims to be a "salon" for young writers to work out their ideas and chronicle their encounters with culture. And we hope all kinds of people drop in on the conversation.

Health Care Reform Could Also Reform Student Lending
Posted By dpacheco On March 17, 2010 @ 11:32 pm In Politics & Public Policy | No Comments
I don't want to jinx it—I really don't want to jinx it—but it looks like Congress is poised to pass comprehensive health care reform within the next few days. It's not perfect (alas, Public Option, you were too beautiful to live), but the status quo is completely out of the question and this legislation will help provide insurance for 30 million Americans who would have gone uninsured without it.
On top of that, lawmakers are sweetening the pot by tackling predatory college lending—cutting out the subsidies for private lenders and instead lending directly to students. Win/win.
From NPR [1]:
The vote on a health care reform bill could turn into a two-for-one deal. Democrats are planning to tack onto the bill an Obama administration plan to reform the federal student loan program.
The administration says the government could save tens of billions of dollars by cutting out banks and lending money directly to students. It's a risky move that could revive — or sink — two of the administration's top priorities.
A Potential 'Twin Victory'?
Removing private lenders from the federal student loan program was never going to be easy. But why is this proposal now part of the up-or-down vote on the health care bill? Even Education Secretary Arne Duncan says he doesn't know.
"But I know this is the right thing to do for our nation's students. It's the right thing to do for taxpayers," Duncan says.
Duncan says bypassing private lenders and having the Education Department lend directly to college students would save at least $67 billion. That's money that could be put back into much more financial aid for needy students and other education programs.
"This is excellent public policy," said Democratic Sen. Tom Harkin of Iowa, speaking to reporters last week. "It's also good politics for Democrats and Republicans alike."
He helped craft the plan to attach the direct lending proposal to the health care bill.
"I also want to add that our bill would reduce the budget deficit — yes, you heard me right. Our bill would reduce the deficit by at least $5 billion," Harkin says.
Harkin called this "sweetening the pot," but that assumes it would attract the votes to pass both health care and major education legislation. Harkin says it would be a "twin victory."

What words are great for describing food?
We've all complained about ooey, unctuous, and moist, but what words make you want to eat something?
For me, I always want to make a recipe if the writer suggests I serve it with "plenty of" anything. "Plenty of hot coffee," or "plenty of steamed rice." That always gets me ready to cook.
What words make you hungry?

As more agencies compete for state and federal dollars, they are moving toward hiring professionals that are trained both as Licensed Professional Counselors as well as Certified Addiction Counselors. In many agencies, being a certified addictions counselor can increase your rate of pay between $1.50 and $3 per hour or $3000 to $6000 per year, and make you eligible for a variety additional positions in addictions counseling.
The Florida Certification Board, for example, has certification programs for Certified Addictions Counselors (CAC), Certified Addictions Professionals (CAP), Certified Online Counselor, and Certified Mental Health technician. Many of these certifications have different levels based on your education. For example, persons in Florida who are already licensed professional counselors, licensed mental health counselors, or licensed clinical social workers through the Florida Board of Mental Health Counseling can take online training in addiction counseling from a FCB or NAADAC approved provider in order to become a Certified Addictions Counselor. AllCEUs provides affordable online continuing education credits for counselors, and NBCC approved continuing education and online training for addictions and mental health professionals.
In Iowa, people are allowed to get all of their certified addiction counselor training hours online; however, once you are certified, you can only get up to 50% of your continuing education courses from online resources.
Want to get certified? You can get all of your required training through AllCEUs click here to go to our addictions counselor training portal.
Check with your state addiction counselor certification board to see what their requirements are. In many cases, the hours you have already worked in community mental health can count towards your contact hours for certification.
This TIP serves as one of the foundation texts for our upcoming Certificate in Trauma Informed Care. It is available for free from the SAMHSA store. The first two classes have been released. We are adding a new class each week.
Course 1: Trauma Informed Care: A Sociocultural Perspective
Course 2: Trauma Informed Care: Trauma Awareness (Currently being uploaded to the ala carte system. Available for persons with an unlimited membership)
After working with veterans for the last 8 years, I believe four of the biggest problems working with civilian counselors have been: Their lack of understanding of chain of command and the military way of doing things; their lack of knowledge about terms (You can find a short list here: http://www.itstactical.com/intellicom/language/military-acronymsterminology-and-slang-reference/), an excessive focus on talking about feelings and lack of understanding regarding the need to compartmentalize those feelings in order to function.
In the military, there is a definite chain of command. Subordinates are expected to do what they are told, whether they like it or not. It is not a democracy. There is no suggestion box for improving workplace conditions. Subordinates do not question superior officers. Asking a patient: "Did you tell him how that made you feel?" or "What would have happened if you had suggested…" and sometimes "Maybe you should talk to someone higher up the chain of command" would be completely inappropriate and destroy any rapport. Understanding this hierarchical culture is essential to working with a veteran or active duty soldier. (As an aside, helping significant others embrace this concept is crucial as well.) Understanding the terminology is vital to understanding what is being said. While it may not destroy rapport, it can disrupt momentum when a patient is recounting what happened. Growing up in a family of law enforcement and military people, I always thought everyone knew 10-codes. They were part of my vocabulary. I would find myself stumbling through conversations sometimes to try and back up and explain in civilian terms what I was saying. You can imagine how a patient in crisis, who is immersed in recounting what happened, might get frustrated. Remember that terminology differs to an extent between branches of the military.
Finally, the focus on feelings. We do want our patients to identify their feelings, but many soldiers are not comfortable talking about the "F-word" right away. Replacing the term "feeling" with "reaction" can be somewhat helpful. Labeling feelings in your paraphrases can also be quite helpful. For many veterans, talking about feelings is also difficult because they have compartmentalized for so long. Imagine storing stuff in boxes in your attic for years. Some of the boxes are labeled. Some of them are not. You are not quite sure what you'll find in any of them. Accessing feelings and reactions can be much like exploring a dark, crowded attic. It can be very intimidating to open those Pandora's Boxes for fear that something they did not want to remember would be in there, or they will be overcome and not able to close the box again.
It is important for people (veterans or not) to understand the function of their emotional reactions. There is a purpose. This can help them feel the feeling, then make an educated decision about what (if anything) to do with it. Dialectical Behavior Therapy approaches are very useful as is Cognitive Processing Therapy. You can watch an introduction to the course AllCEUs recently did on the new PTSD criteria in the DSM V and an overview of Cognitive Processing Therapy.
These will provide just a few tips for working with veterans. Look here for additional resources, and stay tuned for more helpful information.
Foundations of Recovery: Factors Impacting Long Term Recovery for Patients with Co-Occurring Disorders (Dual Diagnosis)
Course and Treatment of Patients With Both Substance Use and Posttraumatic Stress Disorders
PAIGE CROSBY OUIMETTE, PAMELA J. BROWN and LISA M. NAJAVITS. Addictive Behaviors. Volume 23, Issue 6, November–December 1998, Pages 785–795
Posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) is a common co-occurring diagnosis in patients with substance use disorders (SUDs). Despite the documented prevalence of this particular "dual diagnosis," relatively little is known about effective treatment for SUD-PTSD patients. Based on this review, the following is noted: PTSD is highly prevalent in SUD patients, consistently associated with poorer SUD treatment outcomes, and related to distinct barriers to treatment. Specific treatment practices are recommended for substance abuse treatment providers: (a) All patients should be carefully screened and evaluated for trauma and PTSD; (b) referrals should be provided for concurrent treatment of SUD-PTSD, if available, or for psychological counseling with the recommendation that trauma/PTSD be addressed; and (c) increased intensity of SUD treatment should be offered in conjunction with referrals for family treatment and self-help group participation.
Influence of Outpatient Treatment and 12-Step Group Involvement on One-Year Substance Abuse Treatment Outcomes
Paige Crosby Ouimette, Rudolf H. Moos, John W. Finney (J. Stud. Alcohol 59: 513-522, 1998)
This study examined the effects of different types of aftercare regimens on treatment outcomes. Patients who participated in both outpatient treatment and 12-step groups fared the best on 1-year outcomes. Patients who did not obtain aftercare had the poorest outcomes. In terms of the amount of intervention received, patients who had more outpatient mental health treatment, who more frequently attended 12-step groups or were more involved in 12-step activities had better 1-year outcomes. In addition, patients who kept regular outpatient appointments over a longer time period fared better than those who did not.
Dual diagnosis patients in substance abuse treatment: relationship of general coping and substance-specific coping to 1-year outcome
Franz Moggi, Paige Crosby Ouimette, Rudolf H. Moos, John W. Finney
This study examined general and substance-specific coping skills and their relationship to treatment climate, continuing care and 1-year post-treatment functioning among dual diagnosis patients (i.e. co-occurrence of substance use and psychiatric disorders). Patients with co-occurring disorders (dual diagnoses) modestly improved on general and substance-specific coping skills over the 1-year follow-up period. Patients who were in programs with a dual diagnosis treatment climate and who participated in more 12-Step self-help groups showed slightly more gains in adaptive coping. Both general and substance-specific coping were associated with abstinence, but only general coping was associated with freedom from significant psychiatric symptoms. Therefore, enhancing general and substance-specific coping skills in substance abuse treatment may reduce dual diagnosis patients' post-treatment substance use and improve their psychological functioning.
Twelve-Step and Cognitive-Behavioral Treatment for Substance Abuse: A Comparison of Treatment Effectiveness
Paige Crosby Ouimette, John W. Finney, Rudolf H. Moos. Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology, 1997, Vol. 65, No. 2, 230-240
The comparative effectiveness of 12-step and cognitive-behavioral (C-B) models of substance abuse treatment was examined among 3,018 patients from 15 programs at U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs Medical Centers. Across program types, participants showed significant improvements in functioning from treatment admission to a 1-year follow-up. Patients showed similar improvement at the 1-year follow-up, regardless of type of treatment received.
Summary of the Foundations
- All patients should be carefully screened and evaluated for trauma and PTSD
- Referrals should be provided for concurrent treatment of SUD-PTSD, if available, or for psychological counseling with the recommendation that trauma/PTSD be addressed
- Increased intensity of SUD treatment should be offered in conjunction with referrals for family treatment and self-help group participation.
- Patients whose aftercare programs were more intense (i.e. self-help groups plus therapy) and were longer in duration fared better at one year.
Our live, interactive Wednesday webinars are continuing. We are gradually covering all of the best practices published by SAMHSA, the National Institute of Mental Health, the National Center for Child Traumatic Health, The Addiction Technology Transfer Center, and the counseling related best practices from Registered Nurses Association of Ontario.

Tuareg Rally 2013 - Official Event Coverage - follow our ADV riders HERE!

Wesley Beane,words & pictures.
Now we have returned to the UK,I have had tiime to speak to Deborah,Wes's partner & her family, regarding the tragic & untimely death of our friend Wesley.
Wesley went to the event with the intention of winning,as he was leading last year when he crashed and broke his collarbone.To Wes,every event was possible to win,as his talents on a motorcycle shone through in every discipline.
Since starting out as a young boy,urged on by his parents,Don & Michelle,along with his grandparents Bert & Sylvia,who always attended many events,he progreesed through the local & national trials scene in the UK to become British A Class champion( 16 year old).
He then went on to win many Centre events,in his own determined fashion,never taking the easy option,or even other's advice.
His mother Michelle was a regular trials rider,who unfortunately died when Wes was 13 years old.Whilst his father,Don,was a talented trials & enduro rider,and rode in ISDT and supported KTM team in late 70's.He continued to ride regularly up until his death at the Alto Turia Rallye in Spain in 2002,at the age of 62 years.
I rode with Don at a few events,in Ireland,with TORC Enduro Club,and had some great times there.
After winning many trials as a teenager,Wes moved on to 4WD events,and again climbed up the ranks to succeed at a very high level.,alongside learning to shoot clay's,again to a high standard.His ability to shut out external interruptions(which often meant friends comments or suggestions) and his focus on learning a new technique,meant he seemed to quickly master anything he tried.
After Don's death,Wes inherited Don's KTM 400 and turned his hand to enduro's,which again,he mastered using his fabulous trials technique,and progressed rapidly to Expert.We had many good times at Welsh 2-Day & Natterjack Enduro's,and his determination to win was always present,and his demeanor could be frustrating at times,but also a cause for amusement to others.
After I had done a couple of Tuareg Rallies,Wes bought an LC640 Adventure and came to the Tuareg,and again,quickly mastered the whole roadbook/navigation technique.His riding in the dunes was a pleasure to watch,with his trials background,he made it look effortless.
Over the next couple of years,we developed the KTM 690 Enduro into a Rally machine,and this started the Rally-Raid Products business,which has flourished,using many of his ideas.
Wes,aka Beaney,to the ADV Rider fraternity,was a wealth of knowledge on the 690,spending many hours with EFI software,but that was him,he would grab any new subject,and commit totally to it until he had mastered it.Which at times could be frustrating to others around him,but that was Wes.......
I spoke with Deb yesterday,and although Wes's accident was that,a tragic racing accident,it will be very difficult to come to terms with,but for Wes winning was everything,and every metre counted.
After loosing another of our close friends and riding partner,Gordon MacPherson,recently on Heroes Legend,it has become very difficult to assess things,regarding the whole rally scene,we all know the risks when we enter these events,and I am sure that these same riders,from all around the world,who we meet at these events,are also the ones who we shall turn to for support,as we are all friends in sport............
I shall leave the thread back to others now,but here are a few pictures of Wes's background.....
Wesley's Mum at local trial 1960's

Wesley,his last day,focused as ever,out for the win............
Our thoughts are with Deb and her family,along with his grandparents Bert and Sylvia.
