Cayes, Coral, Tourism and Ethnicity in Belize
Date: August 2002
Creator: Key, Carol
Description: The development of tourism and more importantly eco-tourism has emerged as a primary objective for the government of Belize, Central America. This study examines two villages Seine Bight and Placencia located on a peninsula occupied by separate ethnic groups (Garifuna and Creole) that is located on a peninsula in Southern Belize. Seine Bight and Placencia are undergoing a change in economic activity to tourism. The study attempts to understand the role of ethnicity, socio-economic status, amount of contact with tourists, and the environment in regard to attitudes towards tourism utilizing quantitative and qualitative methods. The study also attempts to understand the organization and disorganization of productive activity on the peninsula and ethnicity over space and time. The point of diffusion and contact of different groups is reflected archeologically and historically in the marine landscape. The peninsula served not only as a natural harbor for those sailing up and down the coastline over time but also served as a point of diffusion of different groups reflected in changing place names, such as Placentia, Point Patient, and Pasciencia.

The Characteristics of Sociological Practitioners: A Social Psychological Examination
Date: May 2002
Creator: Carr, Joel Lance
Description: Questionnaires were sent by mail and e-mail to 143 members of the Sociological Practice Association. The purpose of the questionnaire was to measure the role expectations as qualities (competencies), role expectations as actions, and role enactments of the respondents'. An additional goal was to examine how respondents perceived their work to be sociological in nature, and how they saw their work as different from the practices of social workers, counselors, and psychologists. The first question that was addressed was, "Do sociological practitioners have clear and unambiguous role expectations for their work as practitioners?" The data showed that most role expectations measured as competencies were clear and unambiguous, and only a few were ambiguous and unclear. The second question addressed was, "Do sociological practitioners perceive their role enactments to differ from other helping professionals such as social workers, counselors, and psychologists?" The data showed that sociological practitioners do perceive their role enactments to be different because of their use of sociological theory and their focus on social structures. The final question asked was, "How do sociological practitioners perceive their work as sociological in theory, methods, or both?" The data showed that sociological practitioners perceive their work as sociological based on their ...

Children of Incarcerated Parents: An Application of the Stress Process Model.
Date: May 2007
Creator: Jarvis, Ashley
Description: The purpose of this qualitative interview study is to examine the lives and experiences children of incarcerated parents from a theoretical perspective through an application of the social stress process. Previous research on children of incarcerated parents has neglected to add a theoretical component to their research, which is the intention of this research. The results will be organized around the theoretical domains of the stress process applied to findings from the analysis of eleven qualitative interviews of mothers and/or caregivers of youth(s) of an incarcerated parent. Guided by analytic induction, the themes that emerged from the transcripts were applied to the theoretical propositions of the social stress process: stressors, mediators, and manifestations. Stressors experienced by children of incarcerated parents include: the incarceration of a parent, financial difficulties, and residential instability. Stress mediators include: coping mechanisms and the importance of maintaining familial ties during parental incarceration. The manifestations or outcomes include: internalizing and externalizing behaviors.

Coming in From the Cold: Integration into the European Union and Public Opinion on Democracy and the Market Economy in Central and Eastern Europe.
Date: May 2002
Creator: Zottarelli, Lisa K.
Description: The political economy transformations of the countries of Central and Eastern Europe have received a great deal of attention over the past decade. The focus of much research has been to examine the internal national reorientations of the countries with regard to the changes in political and economic conditions. The importance of the international reorientation of these countries toward Western Europe in general and the European Union in particular has been generally overlooked. This dissertation examines public opinion on the political and economic transformations within the framework of the direction of the international reorientations of the countries. The countries were divided into three categories, those that can be expected to be invited to join the European Union in the next enlargement, those that can be expected to join the European Union in a subsequent enlargement, and the countries not seeking European Union membership. Public opinion on democracy and the market economy and attitudinal factors that influence these opinions are compared in 16 countries in Central and Eastern Europe. The data are from the Central and East European Barometers 3-7 (1992 - 1996). The findings suggest that general opinions regarding satisfaction with democracy are not related to the status of the ...

Conspicuous Consumption and American Political Behavior
Date: August 2005
Creator: Bouressa, Andrea Kelly
Description: The following premise is based on the ideas of social theorists who have contributed to understanding the importance of image in society. This proposal argues that political participation is susceptible to exploitation in the form of conspicuous consumption as defined by Thorstein Veblen. The analyses that follow will test the degree to which Americans who demonstrate more traditional forms of conspicuous consumption also tend to show more activity in political venues. While the correlation of these two variables is not sufficient to demonstrate cause and effect, it may be significant enough to attract more researchers to this question: are Americans using political involvement to positively influence the way that their social status is perceived by others?

Contraceptive Choice among American Teenage Women: a Test of Two Models Based on the Dryfoos Strategy
Date: May 1997
Creator: Crow, Thomas Allen
Description: Teenage pregnancy rates in the U.S. are among the highest in the world for industrialized countries. The generally accepted reason is not that American teenagers are more sexually active but that they contracept less than do teenagers in other industrialized countries. This dissertation reports on a study that was undertaken for two purposes. One purpose was to develop and test two models of contraceptive choice among American teenagers: a "likelihood-of-use" model to predict the likelihood of sexually active teenagers' using contraception, and a "medical-or-nonmedical" model to predict whether teenagers who use contraception are likely to use medical or nonmedical methods. The second purpose was to explore the level of support for the two models among black and white teenagers separately. The theoretical underpinning of the models is value-expectancy theory. The models' exogenous variables are based on the prevailing strategy for preventing teenage pregnancy among American teenagers, a strategy initially advocated by Joy G. Dryfoos. The strategy involves the use of access-to-contraception programs, educational programs, and life options programs. The data used in the study were on 449 subjects drawn from the 1979 National Survey of Young Women, a probability-sample survey of women in the U.S. aged 15-19. The subjects were ...

Correlates of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder and Disorder of Extreme Stress Not Otherwise Specified among Palestinian Child Ex-Detainees
Date: August 2011
Creator: Nabhan, Inshirah Nimer
Description: The objective of this study is to investigate the variations in the type of trauma (post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and disorder of extreme stress not otherwise specified (DESNOS) resulting first from group membership, and second from variations in socioeconomic status, and last, from exposure to physical and psychological methods of interrogation due to imprisonment. I use a diverse sample of 202 child ex-detainees who served sentences in Israeli prisons and were 17 years of age or less at the time of arrest. Various regression techniques were utilized to determine the most parsimonious way to distinguish between the three groups in their trauma responses. The key finding in this study is that child refugee ex-detainees living in refugee camps, in general, did not report PTSD or DESNOS reactions compared to their counterparts. Continuing PTSD and DESNOS symptoms were more prevalent among the group of refugees living outside the camps. However, there is at least one finding that supported what I hypothesized: refugees living in camps were more likely to experience elevated levels of alterations in attention or consciousness (DESNOS2). For refugees in camps, the DESNOS absence tells us that the volatile childhood these children experienced was not associated with severe pathological ...

The two-time Emmy Award winner and multi-platinum recording artist has continued to find new ways to entertain her loyal fans for over 25 years.

After releasing her first CD, "Forever Your Girl," Abdul became a multi-platinum singing sensation. She has won multiple musical awards, including a Grammy, seven MTV Video Awards, two Emmy Awards and two People's Choice Awards, and has sold over 60 million records worldwide. After saying goodbye to "American Idol" in 2010 and serving as executive producer and creative partner for the reality-competition series "Live to Dance," she returned to network television in the US launch of "The X-Factor." More recently Abdul has become one of the top public speakers in the industry, touring the country to bring her own passion, drive and work experiences to the lives of those walking the halls of companies throughout America. She has recently signed on with Avon and is the official spokesperson for Fembody Nutrition.
Hosted by Emmy Award winner Tom Bergeron ("America's Funniest Home Videos") and Brooke Burke-Charvet ("Dancing with the Stars" Season Seven Champion), the celebrities perform choreographed dance routines which will be judged by renowned Ballroom judge Len Goodman and dancer/choreographers Bruno Tonioli and Carrie Ann Inaba.

The worshippers were killed as they entered the Redeemed Christian Church of God in Potiskum, the BBC reports. More than 200 people have been killed since Tuesday, including more than 97 people gunned down in the village of Kukawa on Wednesday and 48 men shot after prayers in two villages near the town of Monguno. On Thursday, two female suicide bombers killed several people as they attacked a village in Borno state.
Since Boko Haram first started launching attacks in 2009, at least 17,000 people, primarily civilians, have been killed. Catherine Garcia
Due to the 4th of July holiday, there wasn't a new Last Week Tonight Sunday, but host John Oliver was nice enough to give his fans a little something to tide them over until July 12. In a web only clip, Oliver did the opposite of what he normally does — instead of covering one topic over 15 minutes in a deep dive, he looked at 15 topics in one minute for a series of shallow dives. He touched on everything from banjoes ("they're just guitars whose parents are cousins") to bagels ("donuts that gave up on their dreams"), and hinted that next week, it's very likely he'll be back to business, taking on the TPP. Watch the clip below (warning: there's a bit of strong language and some risqué images). Catherine Garcia
After Listeria was found in a sample of chicken freeze-dried patties, pet food maker Stella & Chewy's voluntarily recalled several products for dogs and cats.
The company has a full list of recalled dinners and treats on its website. "The health and safety of our customers and their pets is always of the utmost importance to us," Stella & Chewy's said on Facebook. "We are accountable for everything we make and highly committed to the quality and integrity of our products. We are working with the FDA to further investigate and quickly address the situation."
Listeria causes flu-like symptoms in healthy people, including headache and nausea, and can be deadly for children and the elderly. Stella & Chewy's says that there have been no reports of illnesses in people or animals. Consumers who have pet food that is part of the recall should throw it away or return the item to where they purchased it for a full refund. Catherine Garcia

For Carli Lloyd of Team USA, the Women's World Cup final game was one for the record books. After scoring in the third, fifth, and 16th minutes of play, Lloyd (#10) became the first player in history to score a hat trick in a Women's World Cup final. Her goal in the third minute was the fastest ever scored in a final, and she also became the first American to score in four straight World Cup games. "I'm so proud and so zapped at the same time," she told CNN. "It doesn't feel real. We just made history." The U.S. defeated Japan 5-2, earning their first Women's World Cup title since 1999. Check out photos of Team USA celebrating their big victory below. Catherine Garcia
Burt Shavitz, the co-founder of Burt's Bees whose face appeared on the company's packaging, has died. He was 80.
"We remember him as a bearded, free-spirited Maine man, a beekeeper, a wisecracker, a lover of golden retrievers and his land," the company said on its Facebook page. "Above all, he taught us to never lose sight of our relationship with nature." Shavitz co-founded Burt's Bees in 1984 with Roxanne Quimby, an art school graduate he met while hitchhiking. Quimby used his beeswax to make candles that she sold at fairs, and during their first year in business, the company earned $20,000, NBC News reports. Their most famous product, lip balm, was introduced in 1991.
The cause of Shavitz's death has not been announced. Catherine Garcia
A boating accident late Saturday night on the Ohio River in Louisville, Kentucky, has left two dead and three missing.
Donald Swinney, 52, and Mark Swinney Jr., 14, both died from drowning, officials said. The incident occurred as thousands gathered around the river for 4th of July festivities, The Courier-Journal reports. The pontoon boat hit a barge and capsized, authorities said, and four people, including three children wearing life jackets, were quickly rescued.
Because of river conditions, rescue teams have been unable to deploy divers to help in the search. The current is "extremely swift, and there's a lot of debris," Louisville Fire Chief Greg Frederick said. "It's challenging, even for our rescue boats, especially when you get close to the dam. You have to be extremely careful." The search will resume Monday. Catherine Garcia

On-campus residents keep an eye on schools
High school is home for residents who serve as lookouts
"And, at Valhalla, to live and work at the same place and not do any commuting was very attractive. It was a win-win across the board."
Before moving to Valhalla, the Pattons lived in a 33½-foot motor home while trying to decide where they wanted to live next. Now, they have an airy, 1,300-square-foot manufactured home with plenty of room for themselves and their three dogs, Axel, Buck and Shea.
A dwarf lemon tree bears fruit near the front door. Before planting a lush backyard lawn, Patton and his nephews dug up hundreds of red bricks from the hard-baked earth and used them to construct a low wall for a flower bed.
Ever the carpenter, Patton recycled dozens of wide wooden planks that once were bleachers at the high school and built a huge deck overlooking the sports fields.
"We have 30 years of DNA under this deck," joked Judi Patton, referring to the wads of old chewing gum stuck underneath the boards.
Tony Patton says he hopes to stay at the high school an additional 10 to 15 years. When he retires, he would like to sell his home to the next on-campus resident.
Still, campus life can be alternately very public and very isolated. Living among throngs of teenagers by day and the occasional pack of howling coyotes by night is not a lifestyle for everyone, Judi Patton said.
"I don't have a neighbor to borrow an egg from or a cup of sugar," she said. "Not everybody can handle this, but it suits Tony and me.
"We love spending time with our dogs and with each other," she said. "It just works for us."

At the Annual Meeting of the American Psychological Association held this August in Washington, D.C., I was awarded the John Holland award by Division 17 (Society of Counseling Psychology) of the American Psychological Association.
The John Holland Award for Outstanding Achievement in Career and Personality Research is given for notable research on career and personality topics. This award is for mid-level professionals who have received their doctorate degrees between 10 and 20 years ago. The award has an associated monetary prize, which was initiated and funded by Psychological Assessment Resources, Inc.
I was also recently nominated and selected as a Fellow of this same Division in August 2010.
Fellowship is an honor bestowed upon members who have made "unusual and outstanding contributions or performance in the field of psychology." Their contributions are viewed as having enriched or advanced Counseling Psychology well beyond the level that normally would be expected of a professional psychologist. They have had significant impact on the specialty of Counseling Psychology. The impact pertains to the areas of science, teaching and training, service delivery, administration, policy development, and/or advocacy. Fellows are selected by peers on the basis of evidence of sustained superior performance that is recognizable at a national (rather than local or regional) level. Nominees must meet both APA and Division 17 requirements to be considered for Fellow status.

BRICS. When I first saw the expression BRIC, it seemed just a catchy name for an incidental grouping. But something is emerging. Emerging, I believe, largely in response to Washington's actions. After so many governments overthrown followed by the insouciant unconcern for the consequences (Libya is the paradigm), absolutely inexplicable (except to the direst conspiracy theorist) actions like supporting jihadists in one place and fighting them in another, more and more countries are coming to two conclusions. The first is that Washington is the cause of most of the world's instability and that, under present management at least, it simply cannot be trusted or relied on. And, some wonder who's next for a "colour revolution". So the BRICS evolve: from a cliché, into a loose association, into a economic and political player. And not an insignificant player: the two most populous countries, two UNSC members, three nuclear powers, significant conventional military power, one economy the biggest or soon will be, three more in the top ten. Not insignificant at all. Yesterday they took another step against the Bretton Woods arrangement, which many see as the foundation of Washington's power, establishing a Development Bank and reserve currency pool. Their own World Bank and IMF. Early days to be sure, much can go wrong but a step towards a rather different power structure.
DIVISIONS. Washington issues more sanctions, but Europe lags. (Maybe I'm missing something, but the European Council conclusion sounds like the square route of nothing). Who would have thought, 20 years ago, that Ukraine would become so important.
UNIPOLAR WORLD. Failed says Putin; tranquillity says the White House.

29 July 1972
Liverpool, England

Simon Jones (born Simon Robin David Jones 29 May 1972, Liverpool, England)[1][2] is an English bass player. He played bass and provided occasional backing vocals for the English band The Verve.
Personal life[edit]
Jones attended Rudston Road primary school in Childwall, Liverpool and moved to Wigan when he was 13 years old. He is married to Myra and has two sons - Jude and Jonah Jones.
The Verve[edit]
Away from the musical side of The Verve, Jones is the only other band member other than the band's main mouthpiece, lead singer Richard Ashcroft, who tends to speak publicly and in interviews. Most notably, he, along with Ashcroft, made a speech at the 2007 Q Awards as they won a classic album award for their 1997 album Urban Hymns. He thanked the band member's wives and children and also thanked former Verve guitarist Simon Tong, who was not included in the newly reformed Verve line up. He also did an interview on Zane Lowe's BBC Radio 1 show after the band's 2007 reformation, and he also appeared alone and alongside Ashcroft in a handful of Verve documentaries and other miscellaneous interviews throughout the 1990s.
When The Verve split in 1999 due to in-band tensions, many believed they were down to tensions between singer Richard Ashcroft and lead guitarist Nick McCabe.[3] While this is true, there were in fact problems, described as 'serious' by Ashcroft in later interviews, between Ashcroft and Jones also.
In June 2007, he rejoined The Verve in their reunion but by 2009 they had disbanded again.[citation needed]
Other musical projects[edit]
After the breakup of The Verve in 1999, Jones later played bass and wrote songs for the short lived band The Shining, who former Verve band mate Simon Tong also played with. They would release just one album in 2002 called True Skies.[4]
In 2003, Jones was the recording bassist for Howie Day on Day's second album, Stop All The World Now, on Epic Records.[5]
Since 2004, Jones has been an official member of the backing band for Cathy Davey.
In November 2005, he performed with the Gorillaz live band playing guitar at the Manchester Opera House, as part of the Manchester International Festival, again alongside fellow Verve member Simon Tong.[6]

Shaken U.S. municipal bond market contracted in second quarter
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Rising interest rates shook up the U.S. municipal bond market in the middle of the year, bringing a long run of refinancing to a halt and tempering new debt sales, Federal Reserve data showed on Wednesday.
The amount of outstanding municipal debt shrank in the second quarter to $3.721 trillion from $3.729 trillion in the first quarter and from $3.732 trillion a year earlier, the Fed said.

U.S. state tax revenues hit record highs in 2nd quarter -Census
WASHINGTON, Sept 24 (Reuters) – Tax revenues for U.S. states
soared to their highest in 25 years in the second quarter as
personal income tax collections reached record amounts, U.S.
Census data released on Tuesday showed.
Total state tax revenues rose 9.4 percent from the second
quarter of 2012 to $259.6 billion, the largest intake on records
going back to 1988 and the 15th straight quarter of increases.
U.S. public pension investments jump, costs surge too
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Asset values at U.S. public pension funds rose 8.4 percent in the latest fiscal year to the highest level in more than 40 years, but their costs also rose, the U.S. Census reported on Monday.
Most retirement systems ended fiscal 2013 on June 30. In the final quarter of that fiscal year the cash and securities holdings of the 100 largest public-employee pensions were $2.944 trillion, up 8.4 percent from a year earlier and the highest level since the Census began collecting pension data in 1968.
U.S. SEC approves long-awaited municipal adviser rule
WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – The U.S. Securities and
Exchange Commission unanimously approved on Wednesday a
long-awaited rule to bring the financial advisers of
municipalities under federal oversight, saying appointed and
elected officials of local governments were exempt from its
The exemption should allay bond market concerns that the
regulation of municipal advisers required under the Dodd-Frank
financial reform law would cast too wide a net and force
officials and volunteers with only tertiary involvement in
financial decisions of cities, counties, authorities and
non-profit organizations to comply with complicated securities
U.S. SEC unveils scaled-back municipal adviser rule
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Employees and appointed officials of municipal governments would not have to register as financial advisers under a final rule federal regulators were set to finalize on Wednesday, which should allay bond market concerns that new laws on advisers would ensnare too many people in cumbersome regulation.
In its final definition of financial advisers, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission said it was also narrowing the term "investment strategies" to apply only to the investment of proceeds from bond sales rather than to all public funds.
SEC to unveil CEO pay ratio rule, adopt municipal adviser rule
WASHINGTON, Sept 18 (Reuters) – U.S. corporations will need
to disclose how their chief executive's paycheck compares to
that of their average worker under a proposal set to be unveiled
on Wednesday by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission.
The SEC's CEO pay ratio rule is championed by unions and
labor advocates who say the disclosures will help investors

U.S. internet sales tax bill to follow seven principles
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Legislation that the U.S. House of Representatives will soon take up on allowing states to tax online purchases will follow seven major principles, including keeping the system simple for small businesses and ensuring it will not lead to new taxes, sources present at talks on the matter said on Tuesday.
Chairman of the House Judiciary Committee Bob Goodlatte is expected to release the long-awaited principles on Wednesday, after committee staff briefed House members' staff in a special meeting.
U.S. states still holding back on school spending
WASHINGTON (Reuters) – Public schools around the United States are still waiting to feel the recovery from an economic recession that officially ended four years ago, mostly because states have kept education spending low and property taxes remain depressed, according to a report released on Thursday.
At least 34 states are providing less funding per student in the current school year than before the recession hit. Moreover, at least 15 have lower funding than a year ago, according to the liberal-leaning Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which closely tracks state spending.
Recession risk gone in all U.S. states but 1 -Moody's Analytics
WASHINGTON, Sept 10 (Reuters) – All U.S. states except for
Delaware have escaped the possibility of falling back into
recession, as they reap the rewards of strong private-sector
employment and a burgeoning energy sector, according to an
analysis released on Tuesday.
Moody's Analytics, which tracks state and metropolitan
economies, added Illinois, Wisconsin and Alabama to its list of
states in recovery. That left Delaware alone in its "at risk of
recession" category.

Hello my name is kelly i have a 10 month old daughter and she has sensitive ears and every time some one yells or her brothers yells she has to cover her ears and she does not like it she all ways cry's because if it. When we go out she does not like to be in a loud crow of people .
My son's hearing has also always been super sensitive. Are you wondering if it's normal? It is.
Mom of one child (2008), wife of one husband, tender of dogs, cats and chickens. Household interests: ocean life (kid), bitcoins (husband), simplifying (me).
yes i would like to know if it is normal
Almost certainly! Her regular hearing check should confirm it for you.
I still have to cover my son's ears for certain noises, but he's also super tuneful musically, so maybe there's an upside.

These may be helpful for when being in crowds is fun for everyone else...
We bought those headphones for our 2.5 yr old DD when she was 1. She also has very sensitive hearing and hates loud noises.
We could not grind coffe or use a blender or vacuum or anything around her.
We didn't use the headphones for those things, we just never did them when she was around. Now at 2.5 she is better with household noises.
We use the headphones to go to fun events and it allows her to enjoy herself. She has now been able to enjoy parades, fireworks, music festivals and crowds. They still allow her to hear, even with us just talking to her, but they cut the noise down to a tolerable level for her. We bought ours at a music store. They sell them for drumming. The ones we have will do her for years as they are adjustable. They fit her when she was 1yr old and will probably fit until she is 8 or 9.

We are a family that loves
Your kiddos may also fall into the category of "highly sensitive". Check out the books by Elaine Aron
Or her website
should i take her to a ear doctor
Personally I wouldn't see a dr unless your little one is having pain in her ears outside of loud noises. There isn't anything they can do for someone w/sensitive hearing.
No, not neccessarily normal at all. Probably, but not definitely. Check out "Sensory Processing Disorder" and don't be afraid to get an OT eval if you think it is warranted.
Oh, and welcome to MDC! :)

I had been at secretarial college with those two girls [Valerie and her sister Mary], so I knew them very well.
When I was in high school, I had a secretarial job at a fuel company in a small town in New Hampshire.
After all, she was back in the same tired circle: the icy, gray streets of Detroit, back and forth to work at a secretarial job.

The Providence Bruins may have opened some eyes in the Boston Bruins' front office last week when the AHL affiliate took down the big boys in a scrimmage at TD Garden. Perhaps no member of the Baby B's stood out more than journeyman forward Bobby Robins. The 31-year-old Wisconsin native showed no fear going against the NHL club, pushing and shoving every chance he got. At one point he caught the attention of both Zdeno Chara and Shawn Thornton in a post-whistle scrum. Things came to a head in the third period when Robins and Bruins defenseman Adam McQuaid dropped the gloves at one of the blue lines and went toe-to-toe, with Robins getting the best of one of Boston's best brawlers. That's nothing new for Robins who has made a (likely modest) living as a journeyman AHL tough guy. Just take a look at his HockeyFights.com page, and you'll see he's been around the block a few times, although he's probably needed a few ice packs to do so. But what some hockey fans might not know is that Robins follows hockey's tough guy code in more ways than on the ice. Often times, enforcers are some of the team's smarter and kinder human beings away from the ice. Look no further than Thornton in Boston for proof of that. Robins is the same way. He's an active Twitter user who will offer inspiring and motivational tweets on a daily basis. He also keeps a blog, which is filled with some pretty insightful and powerful posts. None were more powerful, however, than Robins' most recent post. Robins was among a small group of P-Bruins who visited Children's Hospital last week. It's a fairly normal thing for pro athletes to do, and it's clear that Robins was inspired by his trip. He wrote about it on his blog, sharing the story of meeting Logan, a 2-year-old patient who was in the middle of enduring a rough day. Robins details his interractions with Logan, talking about how he was able to get the youngster to come out of his shell. Robins signed autographs for Logan and even drew some pictures. Eventually Logan returned the favor, drawing some pictures of his own. "And so we all watched as Logan drew his own pictures, and for that moment, for those 20 minutes, that kid wasn't sick in bed, in a children's hospital," Robins wrote. "He was somewhere else, and so was I. We connected on a level that isn't measured or documented. "We went somewhere else, far away from that place, far away from needles and doctors and beeping machines, and entered the canvas realm, where anything is possible, and diseases are cured and conquered with the stroke of a paint brush, where colorful horizons and bright futures are the only thing we know. Shouldn't we all live in this world? Logan showed me this place, and I am changed because of it." Robins eventually left, but not without taking a couple of Logan's drawings to place in his office as "good luck charms." Robins says it was an eye-opening experience for him, one that helped him look at things a little differently. "Of course I understand the position I am in as a professional athlete and the impact I can make on kid's lives," he continued. "It is an honor to have that power, and I try to represent and harness it as best as I can. But there is something more to it, it's not just because I play hockey and swat a puck around and punch people in the face. It's something that everyone has and something everyone can do. " Just removing a couple snippets of the blog post doesn't do it justice. It's well-written, poignant and touching, really. Do yourself a favor and read the entire post by clicking here.

Donna Shalala
President, University of Miami and Former Secretary, Health and Human Services
$15,000 – $25,000 based on 7 fee reports • Florida, USA • General AvailabilityFollow Share
Donna E. Shalala became professor of Political Science and president of the University of Miami on June 1, 2001. Shalala has more than 40 years of experience as an accomplished scholar, teacher and administrator.
Born in Cleveland, Ohio, Shalala received her A.B. degree in history from Western College for Women and her Ph.D. degree from The Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs at Syracuse University. She has held tenured professorships at Columbia University, the City University of New York (CUNY) and the University of Wisconsin - Madison. She served as president of Hunter College of CUNY from 1980 to 1987 and as chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison from 1987 to 1993. One of the country's first Peace Corps volunteers, she served in Iran from 1962 to 1964.
In 1993, President Clinton appointed her U.S. Secretary of Health and Human Services (HHS) where she served for eight years, becoming the longest serving HHS Secretary in U.S. history. At the beginning of her tenure, HHS had a budget of nearly $600 billion, which included a wide variety of programs including Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, Child Care and Head Start, Welfare, the Public Health Service, the National Institutes of Health (NIH), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
As HHS Secretary, she directed the welfare reform process, made health insurance available to millions of children through the approval of all State Children's Health Insurance Programs (SCHIP), raised child immunization rates to the highest levels in history, led major reforms of the FDA's drug approval process and food safety system, revitalized the National Institutes of Health and directed a major management and policy reform of Medicare. At the end of her tenure as HHS Secretary, The Washington Post described her as "one of the most successful government managers of modern times." In 2007, President George W. Bush handpicked Shalala to co-chair with Senator Bob Dole the Commission on Care for Returning Wounded Warriors, to evaluate how wounded service members transition from active duty to civilian society.
As chancellor of the University of Wisconsin-Madison, she led what was then the nation's largest public research university. In 1992, BusinessWeek named her one of the top five managers in higher education.
She served in the Carter administration as assistant secretary for Policy Development and Research at the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development. In 1980, she assumed the presidency of Hunter College of the City University of New York.
She is a director of MEDNAX, Inc.
Shalala has more than four dozen honorary degrees and a host of other honors, including the 1992 National Public Service Award, the 1994 Glamour magazine Woman of the Year Award and in 2005 was named one of "America's Best Leaders" by U.S. News & World Report and the Center for Public Leadership at Harvard University's Kennedy School of Government.
She has been elected to the Council on Foreign Relations; National Academy of Education; the National Academy of Public Administration; the American Academy of Arts and Sciences; the National Academy of Social Insurance; the American Academy of Political and Social Science; the Institute of Medicine of the National Academy of Sciences; The American Philosophical Society and serves as a Distinguished Fellow at the Brookings Institution.

Brad Paisley, Keith Urban Help Pay Tribute to the Beatles at Grammy Event
Fifty years after the original British invasion, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and others helped celebrate with a Grammy Beatles tribute.
Fifty years after the original British invasion, Keith Urban, Brad Paisley and others helped celebrate with a Grammy Beatles tribute.
Keith Urban's 'Cop Car' video literally plays out the words to the song about falling in love in the back of a cop car.
Country music shined at the 2014 Grammys, with nine of Nashville's top singers taking the stage to sing and play guitar. Collaborations and solo performances from artists like Keith Urban, Blake Shelton and Hunter Hayes were among the night's best, but what was the best moment?
Keith Urban let his emotions show during a mass wedding performed by rapper Queen Latifah at the 2014 Grammys on Sunday night (Jan. 26).
'American Idol' judge Keith Urban and Grammy winner Gary Clark, Jr. took to the 2014 Grammys stage for an electric performance of 'Cop Car' on Sunday night (Jan. 26).
Keith Urban is a bit of a musical anomaly. While the country community firmly embraces the singer and guitarist, there are critics that consider him both a pop and a rock artist. He's a lot of things to a lot of music fans, but terms, categories and definitions don't carry much weight for Urban and he isn't sitting around thinking about how he should be labeling himself. For him, it's a state of mind.
Keith Urban and his fellow Season 13 'American Idol' judges added to their very busy week when they dropped by 'Ellen' to discuss all the fun they've been having and how big of fans they are of each other.
It looks like Season 13 of 'American Idol' is going to be a good one, especially after all of last year's over-the-top drama among the panelists. Keith Urban is the only returning judge in 2014 and he seems to be enjoying himself immensely, since he is having loads of fun in this spot for the new season, kicking off Jan. 15 on Fox.
'American Idol' will hit the air for its 13th season on Jan. 15, and along with the new contestants comes a new panel of judges.
Keith Urban had a great 2013, and is ready to get 2014 started right where it all left off! Keith debuted on his first season of American Idol last year, and it appeared to be an awkward situation between Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj, but he's returning this season with a new cast of judges beginning on January 15th on FOX! His 'Fuse' CD has already produced a #1 hit with 'We Were Us' the duet with Miranda Lambert, and today, Keith follows it up with 'Cop Car' as our Fresh Track of the Day!

It seems things are really starting to heat up. I can't wait to see you do with Team Rocket.
| joshie98 chapter 12 . 2/8/2014
Its so good pls update
| NANA-Chan101 chapter 10 . 2/7/2014
Hey i want to read chapter 10 or 11 or is it nine i'm confuse but one of you chapters got repeated
if you could fix that it will be most wonderful
| Guest chapter 12 . 2/6/2014
Um you do realize that you posted carpenter eleven as chapter ten to right?
| Cased In Darkness chapter 11 . 2/6/2014
Why are chapter 10 and 11 the exact same chapter?
| Drakrath chapter 6 . 2/6/2014
I was enjoying your story for a while but I can't continue because of nicknames. Ash does not name his pokemon if it were 1 I wouldnt mind but come on he doesnt name pikachu? His best and oldest friend but does others?
| The Agent of Fire chapter 12 . 2/6/2014
You know I was just thinking of this story the other day? It'd been the longest time, too. Isn't it funny when that happens? After months of not thinking of a story at all it suddenly pops into your head, so you go back and look at it again, and then a few days later there's an update notice.
Anyway, the fact that it's the longest chapter yet goes a long way in making up for the hiatus. I don't mind hiatuses (except when they're unexpected or take place in a really exciting part) but a long chapter makes it easier to kind of get your bearings in the story again, 'cause there's so many details to remind you. Not a whole lot of Ash in this, but we did get a fair amount of Riley. And Lance, too. And Max's battle was really well done.
If they're already talking about the Top 16, wasn't Ash planning on doing a "big reveal thing" at the Top 32? Or maybe he said Top 16 and I'm remembering something else. And Brock's discovery probably threw off his plans a bit, too. Still, I'll have to look for that part...
| CharlieBoneFan chapter 12 . 2/6/2014
Oh man! They probably weren't major character but I just fell in love with Meganium-Nine and the guy that just got killed in the end.
| DarkPirateKing69 chapter 12 . 2/6/2014
i personally would have preferred 'ludicrous speed'.. but i guess the situation was little too serious for Space Balls reference. those tend to have ability to ease (obliterate) any tension..
| furaiz chapter 12 . 2/6/2014
Nice update, can't add anything here for you to fix, since some have already mentioned minor errors.
But I can say I'm thrilled there's an update. Even if I have to wait another 6 months, I'm sure you'll get round to finishing it for the loyal fans
| ultimateCCC chapter 12 . 2/6/2014
First it's Unova not Isshu.
Second that attack is called Grassy Terrain not Grass Field.
| DiamondPhoenyx chapter 12 . 2/5/2014
Amazing fic! I read it all (Chap. 1-12) in one sitting! Keep up the astonishingly incredible work! Note: This name is similar to my account username. I'm just too lazy to login. XD
| LightRayPearlshipper chapter 12 . 2/5/2014
I actually kinda forgot what's been happening in this story cuz it's been so long since you last updated. Maybe, if you wait a really long time between chapters, do a recap of the last chapter or something similar.
| Ky111 chapter 12 . 2/5/2014
Great chapter, until the next one.
| CracktheSkye chapter 12 . 2/5/2014
Yeeeeeeeesssssss! Glad to see you again, Wolfy. And yet another great chapter, even after so much time. That whole scene with James and Butch fighting in the Pokemart? That was like something straight out of a Quentin Tarantino movie; mood dissonance and all. All that was missing was for some incongruous music to be playing in the background. Maybe 'La Donna e Mobile?' Wait, no that's The Punisher.
Max and Erika having an awesome battle. And Cole getting really pissed off. Wow.
And Team Rocket has taken Iron Island, with only one survivor. That is some firepower, there. Winder what they want with the Mega Stones; they require the Key Rings, plus a bond between the Pokemon and Trainer...hmmmm. Well, at least Athena will probably get to Mega-Evolve. (BadassWarriorLucarioFTW).
Micro correction: Plasma is upping the ante.
Overall, another chapter of the wonderful quality we've come to anticipate from your writing. Welcome back!
With Highest Regards,

for me has been a good month, much better than May.
Not bad… not good… just normal month.
Normal start here, hopes february be better than january.
So, I publish an item and for every sale you take 20% then I have to pay you an extra fee for use your platform (2.63%)?
At least for me is exactly the same amount of money that I've been receiving for every sale, let me show you.
One of my items cost $21: So in January I receive $12.39 (Old system) Now in February I receive $16.80 with $-4.41 and the total is $12.39
Is exactly the same as before and only changes the terms of sale items. And teh invoice says "Thanks for buying from Inked.cl (Doren) on Envato Market" or Thanks for buying from Inked.cl (Doren) using our platform Envato Market.
Hi guys!
I'm searching for a specific kind of template based on www.mypizzaoven.nl, if someone knows a template with this kind of navigation or something similar please post the link. Does this kind of navigation has a technical name/term?
Bad month, almost a 35% down in comparison with november.
NeuronFX said
Anyone experiencing an increased number of sale reversals this month? I barely had any reversals since the system was introduced, but this month is breaking the record.
Yes, this month I have 2 sales reversal for the same item, the reversal is made a few days later of the purchase and thats is not fair for us, envato should protect us in those cases..
Great! I have 1 sale reversal :/
Normal month for me, better than April and September.
Bad start

Wolverine's Story Continues
Wolverine continues his journey through Hell as his body continues it's rampage through everyone he ever loved. I have to admit I am surprised I actually like this. I felt like after the whole Romulus story-arch exploration of Wolverine's psyche and history was pretty much done. But I do like this look through all those Wolverine has ended. And hey look Wolverine's girlfriend, I remember her, sort of.
Actually lets touch on that briefly, the introduced this girlfriend for Wolverine who was totally out of any crime, yakuza families, super-hero teams, etc. Then did an entire issue where he talked to various friends of him for advice on what to do about her and how to protect her and then... forgot about her. Wolverine has even slept with Domino since she was introduced. Yet now she's front and center again in the middle of this mess of Wolverine's soul being sent to Hell.
There are two stories being told in the middle all of this (as well as a nice separate one at the end.) Wolverine's Girlfriend trying to find out what happened to Logan with the aid of Mystique. And Wolverine's sojourn in Hell. So I need to pause again and talk about Marvel and Hell. Who is this devil? He doesn't look like any of the devil like entities that Marvel usually uses, yet his Hell seems to be "the real" Hell. By the surprise guest stars at the end of the issue I'm assuming he's Satan, but Marvel is very quiet about that sort of thing.
Okay enough of me bitching about little things. The book is good. Wolverine's face-off with every person he has ever killed, including a very special surprise character that had me get misty for a bit. The weak point of the story however is Wolverine's Girlfriend. While Yukio's appearance added a lot to her story but its not enough to keep her part interesting. I think the main problem is that we don't really know Wolverine's Girlfriend (and hell I can't even remember her name so I keep calling her Wolverine's Girlfriend) so her plight doesn't really resonate well.
However Wolverine in Hell is a great story for Wolverine fans, with Omega Red and Sabertooth reappearing in this issues it only got better. And that surprise appearance I was talking about earlier was perfect addition and just made everything so right. With Puck and the shadowed man (who I think I know who he is but I'll hold off on saying who I think it is) also sets up perfectly how Wolverine is going to be escaping Hell and get his body back.
Jason Aaron is a great writer, I love his work on Wolverine in the past though he does seem to have a bit of a fetish for Mystique. It may explain her inclusion in this story actually. Renato Guedes is an artist I'm not really familiar with but a quick googling shows he mostly does DC work which explains it. I loved his pencil work in this comic though and it was a stellar addition to this comic.
Now a special note on "Amiko's Story." I've always been a fan of Wolverine's adopted daughter and its nice for her to be included in all of this. I would probably be more engaged in the girlfriend story if the girlfriend was replaced by Amiko. And I did love Aaron's blase dialouge for her "You being mind-controlled. Logan? Really? Again?"
What I am wondering though is are they going to remember "Wolverine: Soultaker" that Amiko has priestess powers she's been training. Or maybe that will part of the plot, we'll just have to wait and see.
Overall I'm happy with Wolverine's current direction and I can't wait to see where it happens. With Daken and X-23 following this story as well, it can become a very epic Wolverine story.
I like that the Wolverine family has a new story after Romulus. I really thought that Wolverine's tale was over after Romulus but Wolverine goes to Hell is giving me hope. Let's hope it still gives me hope.

We love coming in here! Service is great, the place is very clean and well arranged. The shrimp are enormous. The sauces is excellent and they pay attention to those of us who order "just a little spicey, please." Their shrimp with garlic sauce, Fabulous!! Their sushi bar is sparkling fresh!!
Posted by Saki Master on 01/13/2009
I've been here multiple times with different groups of friends and it's by far the best experience for the "all you can eat" sushi! For an extra $6.00, they offer an "all you can drink" as well including saki, wine and beer! The sushi is surprisingly fresh and delicious and they offer such a wide array of different sushi and rolls. Just amazing experience and I will continue to go back as much as I can!
Posted by rk on 01/04/2009
I have had delivery from here a couple of times, and the food is very underwhelming. Service is fast, but they messed up my order both times: I got a different appetizer than what I had ordered on both occasions. The delivery guy was rude the last time around, and copped an attitude when I gave a 2 dollar tip for food that cost $16, only to find the order ended up being inaccurate. Look elsewhere for ordering in Chinese.
Posted by best japanese on the ues on 01/01/2009
My friends and I went for the all you can eat sushi at Chinatown East. And man, we were impressed. Pretty much everything on the menu is included in the all you can eat and they give you free bottle of sake for each person. The sushi was fresh and delicious - the rolls were amazing. Comparing to some of the other sushi places like yuka...this place is awesome. Will be going back for sure. The chinese food there was okay, not different from any other average chinese place...they do have bubble tea. Their beef stew noodle soup was really good. But I would go for the sushi if I were to go there.
Posted by Lildiva on 01/01/2009
The food there is great! But when you order takeout you're on your own. Sometimes they give you things you don't even order. Portions vary from day to day and depending on the amount of food you order.
Posted by mz on 11/09/2008
First time I ordered, saw all the reviews and thought it would be good. I would never order from here again. Delivery service was awful. $50 worth of food only 1 packet of sauce, no chopsticks and one fortune cookie. Besides that, food was subpar.
Posted by Anonymous on 10/27/2008
Unbelievable! I just went twice this weekend, once on Friday for dinner and once on a Sunday afternoon for some sushi. The service, food, atmosphere, and cleanliness is outstanding (I'm not sure how other people could think the service is not good). The menu is very extensive...the selection appeals to those who have never had Chinese cuisine before, to those who are experienced sushi snobs! Will 110% go back to this place, and would take it any day over nasty Mom&Pop shops in China town with poor service and overpriced meals.

Take chances, drive fast
I'm a health nut and enjoy working out. Having a sense of humor and being able to laugh at yourself are very important qualities to me. I see myself with someone who also likes working out and living a healthy lifestyle. I often travel to South Florida for fun, sun, and relaxation and would love to meet someone who isn't afraid to get away from the Northeast corridor for a few days. I am passionate about my career and hope that you be passionate about yours as well. I've always believed that we should all find something we love - no matter what it is - and be great at it. In a hectic world of Dreamers vs. Doers, I'm looking for that special woman with a NOW attitude. Uncertainty is a fallacy that shields many of us from taking chances on relationships that could literally change our lives forever. I'm ready to take a chance. Eggs today are better than chickens tomorrow.
Coffee and conversation , Dining out , Movies/Videos , Nightclubs/Dancing , Political interests
Golf, Running, Weights / Machines
I exercise 5 or more times per week.
Between Florida and Boston I tend to migrate towards anything on the waterfront, out on the roof, or in a trendy lounge. If the place has great ambiance, serves sushi, and plays great music - well that's just a bonus.
Loyalty, Honesty, Happiness, Family, Respect
Anything involving working out is fun to me. I enjoy being around good friends, having great laughs, exceptional food and plentiful drinks. Dining out, traveling, and remaining loyal to friends and family are the corner stones of my fun file.
Staying in tune with current events in the news isn't a priority but certainly a due diligence. Politics, Religion, and Money are the apex of our world's problems and I do my best to stay informed on all fronts. If I have time to read - time to learn

Small Woollen Carpets
I don't really have a name, but you find old men selling small woollen carpets on the side of the main square. Nobody forces you to buy anything and people seem to be more like ashamed of having to sell for their living. Very touching - and decent prices.
What to buy: Carpets
What to pay: 1 carpet ca. 50 cm x 100 cm around 20 EUR.
along route touristique: ceramics are a great deal
Along the Route Touristique are a bunch of shops all in a row. They sell everything from Jewlery to ceramics to stuffed camels.
What to buy: There are great deals to be had on some of the traditionally designed dishware, plates and other ceramic items. I had seen similiar items elsewhere in Tunisia but these were the most reasonably priced. Some medium sized dishes and bowls were only 1 or 2 dinars. There wasn't even a need to bargain! This isn't usually the case however. Usually you really ought to bargain or you will be ripped off. In one of the shops a man originally said a bracelet I wanted was 35 dinars, but I ended up buying it for 5.
What to pay: Don't forget to Bargain
- Desert
the little souk: handpainted plates and vases
What to buy: Plates and vases are the next thing to buy here: they are not much different than all the other places I have been to, but they were surely much cheaper, and of the same quality. Here too the designs range from the traditional ones (inspired by the decorations on the typical Tunisian ceramics) to the Berber ones. You can distinguish them by the colours used - traditional normally use dark blue as their main colour - Berber have brighter tones and employ a wider palette of hues
What to pay: It depends on your barganining skills. About 10-15 dinars, as a general guide, for a mid-sized plate.
the little souk: berber carpets at low prices
A little souk - very little - but charming in any case. The main merchandise seemed to be the carpets... not as precious or refined as the famous ones of Kairouan - but Berber carpets - woven in thick wool - with traditional geometric designs. The choice - although limited - offered something for every taste: natural coloured carpets, or more cheerfully coloured ones.
What to buy: berber carpets
What to pay: It depends on your bargaining skills. Just as a reference I ended up buying a cream and green- handmade carpet - for a really cheap price, or so it seemed to me.
I bargained like crazy - thought I had made an excellent deal (30$) - but the salesperson must have thought differently since he would not let me leave and kept giving me things for free: handpainted plates, a stuffed camel, plenty of postcards.
The local markets: Smell the flavor

Johns Hopkins Health - RA Diet Details
Issue No. 22
RA Diet DetailsDate: October 15, 2013
Carrying extra weight is hard on your joints, and the issue is more complex for people who have rheumatoid arthritis (RA). But even people with RA who are at a healthy weight need to be diligent about their nutrition, as some medications deplete the body's valuable nutrients.
"The medication that is the greatest culprit is prednisone," says Rebecca Manno, M.D., a rheumatologist at Johns Hopkins. "It causes patients to lose lean mass and gain fat mass."
People who have RA should concentrate on building lean muscle, Manno says. They can do this by following a healthy diet including plenty of fruits and vegetables and lean protein (such as black beans, salmon and white meat chicken).
"We're also keeping an eye on bone health and vitamin D deficiency," she says. "We can treat that with supplements, if necessary." Always discuss the use of supplements with your doctor.
Johns Hopkins currently has an exercise study underway. Visit bit.ly/arthritistrial for details, including eligibility and how to sign up.

Animal Ocean Seal Snorkeling
Animal Ocean Seal Snorkeling
Animal Ocean runs incredible trips to snorkel or scuba dive with playful seals at Duiker Island, just outside Hout Bay. The island is home to 15 000 Cape Fur seals and this experience of sharing the waters with these curious creatures truly is a unique one.
Swim with the seals in the open ocean
The Animal Ocean Seal Snorkeling operation prides itself on providing the patron with an amazing natural experience, swimming with hundreds of these big eyed, curious creatures. This is your opportunity to come and play alongside these silky smooth swimmers. This experience is for everyone. You do not need any previous experience to snorkel, but the adventure does require that you are able to swim. Those divers wishing to scuba do of course need to be qualified and must provide up-to-date certification to this effect. Snorkeling trips are run daily during Cape Town's summer (October – April), and less frequently in the colder and wetter winter months. The half-day trips take up to 3 hours from start to finish and all the trips take place in the mornings.
All taken care of
All snorkeling equipment is provided for and an experienced snorkeling guide will accompany you on your trip. There is a regular supply of hot chocolate and snacks to keep you warm and fueled.
This is most certainly one of the best wildlife experiences you can have in the Mother City, so why not take the plunge and contact Animal Ocean Seal Snorkeling to find out when the next trip is going out.
Sharks! What sharks?
Animal Ocean runs incredible trips to snorkel or scuba dive with playful seals at Duiker Island, just outside Hout Bay. The island is home to 15 000 Cape Fur seals and this experience of sharing the waters with these curious creatures truly is a unique one.Just in case you were wondering, the cold waters of the Atlantic Ocean are a little too nippy for our finned friends, so fear not. This combined with the water depth will keep you safe from the ocean-going predator.
All snorkeling trips leave from Hout Bay harbor, only 40 minutes from Cape Town.
