What's new in this game the newest features are.2-1 mode which is QCB +FP+ FK (requires level 2 but if you have Level 3 you get more time) this was a little cheap a low blow you say because both of your characters can do there SUPER COMBO'S All they want but hey it's cool to do to those Cheesy characters like Wolverine and Spider-Man. Another new feature is the Specail Helper which greatly complements this game Because you can combo an opponent and then do your helper than dash in and start your combo again. Now that's all the new features let's GET CRAZY ************************************************************************** ************************ SPECAIL HELPERS: ************************************************************************** *********************** Helper Characters This is a particularly interesting feature of Marvel vs. Capcom! Several characters from the earlier games have been brought back, along with some new ones, to help out the main characters! A new partner is selected randomly by the computer for every new match! Knowledge of how to use them will prove to be a very valuable skill in this game! Apparently there is a limit to the number of times you can use this attack! An icon will appear near the top of your screen telling you how many helper attacks that you have left. During the beginning of the fight, you have seven helper attacks at your disposal. Now, without further ado, here's the roster of helper characters! Here are the helpers: Unknown Soldier - Forgotten World He shoots out some beams at your opponent Tia - Capcom Mascot She makes a whole bunch of dice rain down on your opponent Anita - Darkstalkers Her disembodied doll heads float around her as she walks forward, making a shield Lou - Chariot He's an elf that shoots arrows at your opponent Michelle Heart - Wings of Ales She shoots beams in three directions King Arthur - Ghouls n Goblins He throws lances at your opponent! If he gets hit, he loses his armor and fights in his jocks! Saki - Nigiirochou no Kiseki She shoots a laser at your opponents Ton-Fu - Strider He does a long range kick in the middle of the screen Devilot - Cyberbots She comes in on a huge mech which self destructs, doing damage to any opponent nearby! Psylocke - X-Men She does a Psi-Thrust super on your opponent Iceman - X-Men Makes a whole bunch of ice blocks fall onto the screen starting from the front to the back Cyclops - X-Men Optic blasts his opponent Thor - Marvel Comics Shoots a laser at his opponents Storm - X-Men She throws out a horizontal typhoon at the opponent Jubilee - X-Men Shoots out her firecracker power, pops her gum and leaves! Juggernaut - X-Men Comes barreling toward the opponent, doing a Juggernaut Headcrush Rogue - X-Men She does her rushing punch special from XSF. Starts from the middle of the screen and moves upward. Collosus - X-Men Grabs the opponent and tackles them Magneto - X-Men Throws out an EM disruptor Us Agent - MSH vs SF Does a Charging Star ************************************************************************** *********************** SUPER COMBO'S ************************************************************************** *********************** CAPCOM has really gone to work with the Super Combo's this time around because the Backgrounds to the Super Combo's now are so fun to watch it is like a Bunch of rocks getting sucked into a blackhole while you beat up your opponent. and also now you start with one level of Super Combo Energy. And also the Super Combos are not that dangerous and are pretty fun to watch my favorite is Captain Commando's QCF+2K super that is one Cool ass Super. ************************************************************************** *********************** COMBO INTRODUCTION: ************************************************************************** *********************** This is Basic tip for first time players who can't combo worth a lick and result to grabbing. First all you have to knom is that this game evolves around chain comos here is the Basic's. Basic jump in Combo: WP-WK Basic ground combo: WP-WK-then the Character's Lancher- Air Combo's: WP-WK-MP-MK-ACE and that's the basic's when you get this down you can move up to advance combos you have to do a basic jump in combo but you must add to it like for example: Advanced Combo with: WOLVERINE: Jump in--WP,WK,MP,MK,dash in---WP,WK,c+MP,s+FK,jump in----WP,WK,MP,MK,ACE. and another reminder is that Some Characters have OTG-(of the ground) Combo's which means you can do a COMBO than while they are lying on the floor you can hit them and pick them back up. ************************************************************************** *********************** CHARACTERS AND COLORS: ************************************************************************** *********************** RYU: P-White k-Shiny White CHUN-LI: P-Blue k-Pink CAPTAIN AMERICA: P-Red/White/Blue k-Green/White MORRIGAN: P-Purple k-??????

By Donna MilesAmerican Forces Press Service
CAMP PENDLETON, Calif., Aug. 24, 2006 Marines here expressed little surprise over plans to recall members of the Marine Corps' Individual Ready Reserve to active duty, acknowledging that regardless of whether people think it's fair, it's part of the commitment those reservists signed on for.
Marine Corps officials earlier this week announced the decision to involuntarily activate up to 2,500 inactive reservists for 12 to 18 months of duty.
The decision represents the first involuntary recall in the Marine Corps since the beginning of Operation Iraqi Freedom. Those affected have already served on active duty and are completing their eight-year military obligations in the IRR.
"If I was in their shoes, I probably wouldn't like it," acknowledged Staff Sgt. Dwayne Benjamin, a purchasing chief for the 15th Marine Expeditionary Unit here.
Although the move probably won't be popular among affected Marines, Benjamin said it shouldn't be completely unexpected. "When you did your first time around (on active duty), you know it was a possibility," he said. "And knowing that it was a possibility, it's something that they should have always kept in mind."
Benjamin's views echoed throughout the 15th MEU as the active-duty Marines made last-minute preparations before their next deployment as U.S. Central Command's theater reserve force.
Cpl. Juan Juarez, an active-duty administrative clerk who plans to join the Marine Corps Reserve after his upcoming deployment, shrugged when asked about the possibility of involuntary recall. "When you join the Marine Corps, you were joining a way of life," he said. "You knew when you signed up for eight years that it was a possibility, so why not expect it to be eight years?"
Cpl. James Johnson, a postal clerk about to leave for his third deployment during his four years in the Marine Corps, said he applauds the decision to commit more Marines to the mission. That will help get the job done faster so U.S. troops can come home sooner, he figures. "So I think it's good. It will be a relief to the active force," he said.
Former Marine Corps recruiter Chief Warrant Officer Mike Chaney said he has little patience with anyone who complains that they're being recalled to active duty against their will.
"I always told my guys that they were joining the Marine Corps to be a Marine and possibly, if called, to fight for their country," he said. "I told them that any benefits they got were just the icing on the cake. So I have no sympathy for people who complain about being called up to serve their country."
President Bush authorized the call-ups from the Marine Corps' 58,000-member IRR pool in late July. The authorization allows the Marines to call up to 2,500 Marines to involuntary service at any one time. The affected Marines will receive at least five months notice before they are required to report for active duty, officials said.

Come Back to Garrison!
Posted: January 23, 2008
After an $8.9 million renovation, and a year-and-a-half in Burdine Hall, the History Department moved back into its original home on December 10, 2007. To celebrate the first renovation since Garrison was built in 1926, the department is hosting a two-day event:
Come Back to Garrison.
On Thursday, January 31 from 4-7 p.m., the History Department will host a reception in the Main Building (Tower), Room 212 with College of Liberal Arts Dean Randy Diehl and Chair Alan Tully announcing:
- the founding of the Institute for Historical Studies
- the launch of the History Lecture Series, and
- the inauguration of the History Visiting Committee.
On Friday, February 1, History department faculty and staff will host a day of lectures, exhibits and tours. Come hear award-winning faculty talk about:
- their most popular lectures
- their favorite films
- their most interesting new research, and
- their exciting discoveries among the rich resources in the libraries and museums at The University of Texas. No tests, no research papers!
There will also be faculty-guided tours of exhibits at the Blanton Museum, the Harry Ransom Center, the Center for American History, and the Benson Latin American Collection.
On the second floor of Garrison Hall, Follett's Intellectual Property Bookstore will exhibit recent books by History faculty. All History Department faculty books published within the last five years will be sold for 20 percent off on Friday in Garrison Hall. For further information on this sale, call the store at 478-0007 and ask for Jason Lochner.
The celebration culminates with dinner the evening of Friday, February 1, at 7 p.m. at the Texas Exes Alumni Center. The keynote speaker is Distinguished Teaching Associate Professor George Forgie. (Reservations are required.)

I was just going through the street and was wondering of getting a new gym instructor as my instructor was not so good. Then I saw a guy who helped me out and then we became friends and hence I hired him as my personal trainer.
I also bought my first gaming mouse from him.

The enduring civil war in Syria has added another devastating outcome to their bag of irreversible destructions. Al-Hamama, a poor hamlet located in a rebel-held zone, is reduced to rubble by the incessant shelling of regime forces. Villagers rendered homeless are forced to stay in caves where callous winter conditions get to them easily. There are some admirable ones who still persist on in face of the crisis, but often without adequate food, water or access to medical care. Here are some pictures to help us imagine their unimaginably harsh living environment. —Photo by AFP/text by Alisia Pek
Syrian women who are also building a wall with rocks to protect the entrance of a cave that is now their home.
Syrian children stand at the entrance of a cave in which they refuged in Ain al-Zarka, northeast of Syria. The caves scattered along the sheer cliffs in this picturesque region became makeshift homes for refuges from the incessant regime shelling.
A Syrian woman comes out of her makeshift home.
Syrian children stand inside a cave, now their living area.

May 30, 2012
Back in late November, I wanted to review Amy's Cheese Pizza with Rice Crust. And then? Life happened. You know how that goes. The night I planned on reviewing and photographing the pizza, my friend called. Her mother had just been admitted to the hospital. She asked if I could put together an overnight bag for her so she could stay by her mother's side. Pizza suddenly didn't matter.
I ran to my friend's home, packed her a bag and headed to the hospital. By the time I returned home that night I was so grateful for the frozen pizza that awaited me.
And that's how I've come to think of Amy's Pizza. It's perfect when you're in a time crunch. It's great for those nights when you want a pizza and don't have the energy or time to make one.
The pizza comes out of the box topped plainly with a light sauce--the sauce isn't spicy but, happily, it isn't sweet--and an almost generous amount of cheese. As is, the pizza, well, it's almost boring. But boring isn't always bad. It's just...boring.
One of the best things to do with this pizza is to throw some of your favorite toppings onto the pre-made pizza before you bake it. I've eaten Amy's pizza several times now. When I topped it with pepperoni, lightly sauteed peppers, and onions, I really liked it! When I ate the pizza straight from the box, it was boringly passable.
In my opinion, one of the best things about the pizza is how it cooks. Many store-bought gluten-free pizzas don't get brown. This one does! Even without adding extra toppings, the pizza turns a nice golden brown if you bake it long enough. Kudos to Amy's for using a cheese that browns!
Now, we need to talk about the crust. The crust, I'm afraid, is a like it or loathe it affair. This isn't a chewy-crispy New York-style pizza crust. Nor is it a dry, cracker-like crust found on wheat frozen pizzas. No, this crust is soft. But not chewy soft. Just soft. It offers no resistance when you bite into it. I hesitate to say it's similar to the texture of a quick bread (think banana bread, but not sweet) but, really, that's the only texture I can compare it to. That soft texture is why some folks dislike this pizza. (I only know this because I asked people on Facebook.)
Yet, the crust texture, dare I say it, doesn't bother me. It's a gluten-free pizza I can make in under 30 minutes. The only work I need to do is turn on the oven. And for nights when life gets busy, I'm so happy that this pizza is an option.
Oh, for egg-allergic folks, this pizza is also egg-free.
My grade: B
How about you? Have you tried Amy's pizza? What do you think?
Happy pizza eating!
Elizabeth (who gets tired and sometimes eats frozen pizza while sitting on the couch in her pajamas! SO glamorous, I know!)

...Once Upon a time there was a very grumpy man. He worked in a job he hated, working for 'the man' doing meaningless tasks that crushed his soul and soured his mood. He left his job, packed his bags and travelled across the Atlantic in search of mountains covered in the freshest snow. For months he snowboarded every day, loving being in the mountains and loving his life. But, all good things must come to an end. With tears in his eyes and a pain in his heart he returned to his homeland. With no work and little money a decision had to be made. To go back to work for the corporate monster was not a possibility this enlightened man could face, and so with balls of steel (and a ridiculously supportive wife) he sold his house, moved in with his parents and used the money to build his dream - a Snowboard Shop where he could stock his favourite brands and meet likeminded snowboarders.
The result? Eight winters on, and still going strong, We are an independently owned and run snowboard shop that stocks rad brands at decent prices. ALL of the staff are snowboarders so we have first hand experience in the equipment we stock and extensive knowledge about what could work best for your next trip to the mountains. We product test all of our snowboards twice a year in France and Austria and write reviews for the UK's premier snowboard magazines - The Reason and Whitelines.
On top of all this, we keep our prices fair and always try and price match other UK Stores.

In addition to the meals I have previously written about in my 2013 visit to New York City, these meals are worthy of separate reviews. Apart from one, all were moderately priced places. More often than not, the tiny ramshackle places that have been around for decades served the best food.
At Maya, a modern Mexican restaurant in the Upper East Side, you can enjoy an amazing all you can eat and drink brunch for $35pp + tax and tip. I booked with guarded optimism, assuming that there must be a catch as it seemed too good to be true. Fortunately, this was one of those rare occasions when the offer turned out to be real.
The dishes were small share plates from the considerable menu, and including mixed seafood ceviche, chicken tamal, squash blossom quesadila, smoked brisket tacos, carnitas torta, wild mushroom enchilada, caramelised plantains with chipotle butter and a couple of modern fusion dishes like mini hotdogs made with smoky chorizo and bacon and Mexican French toast with nutella and banana. They kept coming, and coming…
The drinks included bloody marias (bloody mary but with tequila instead of vodka) and regular and frozen margaritas. We had a bloody maria and three margaritas each. All the food was great and there was no shortage of drinks. It's probably illegal in Australia to serve all you can drink in this manner, where your margarita gets topped up at your table from a large jug, not watered down and tart with lots of fresh lime juice.
Maya was full of 30somethings talking and laughing and having a great time. We staggered out of the restaurant back towards the nearby museums realising, even in our sloshed state, that we'd possibly had the best meal of the trip.
Almost as outstanding, albeit in a very different and less glamorous setting, was the food at the Dominican restaurant Margot in Washington Heights, a tiny shabby place with about 6 tables and where English is a second language, which makes ordering a minor challenge for anglo tourists. We ordered the pork ribs and meatballs, rice and beans and plantain fritters.
Also noteworthy were our meals at the Michelin starred Wallsé (modern Austrian) and the unassuming Lomzynianka (traditional Polish – see my separate review). Located in Greenwich Village, Wallsé served us entrees of quark spätzle with braised rabbit and snail ravioli, and mains of roast venison with elderberry sauce and roast duck with foie gras sauce. I had some quality American white rind cheese and my girlfriend had a spectacular Salzburger nockerl. The service was excellent.
We were expecting the diversity of foods we found as this is simply the result of immigration; what took us by surprise was how cheap some food was, and how important seafood is in the New York diet. The range of seafood, including lobster rolls (traditional American), catfish (southern American), fish tacos (Mexican) ceviche (South America) and the ubiquitous lox (smoked salmon) bagels, was something of a revelation.
We were fortunate to drink some great American wine while in New York. The highlights were a 1995 Rabbit Ridge zinfandel and a 2011 Broc valdiguié. I was also pleased to discover the Custom American wine bar in Williamsburg, which serves only American wine and spirits, where we enjoyed a New York state dry riesling and a Washington state sangiovese.
The juices from Red Jacket Orchards in New York state are amazing, particularly the cherry juice. Available in Wholefoods, bigger better supermarkets and direct from the producer's stall at the Abingdon Square Greenmarket in Greenwich Village. It's like strudel in a bottle. Divine.

By: Eddie Garcia, KOB Eyewitness News 4
It's around 6:15 Wednesday evening in Santa Rosa, and all hail is breaking loose.
The aftermath a full 16 hours later showed a town still paralyzed under two feet of ice – in July.
"This was unusually deep but this was not an event of biblical proportions by any means. It probably felt like that to the people of Santa Rosa yesterday," meteorologist Deirdra Kann said.
Kann says if you want something of biblical proportions, you just have to go back nine years.
Friday, the 13th of August, 2004. A storm left behind up to 15 feet of hail just south of Clayton. Enough to form ice caverns. So famous, it's known as the Union County Glacier.
"It was a pretty similar situation in that they had storms that produced a lot of little hail and then also copious amounts of rain," Kann said.
Actually, only about a foot of hail fell, but rain swept it into a creek causing it to collect and pile up to over a dozen feet.
"And it took weeks to melt," Kann points out.
People may be wondering why the hail doesn't melt immediately since it's summer. The answer is: The hail is sitting on wet ground and that little bit of cooling slows down the melting process, leaving the hail to sit several hours and sometimes day before it disappears.

‹ Kids like healthy food • Ellyn Satter's - The Vision Times ›
Almost every country in the world is trying to get their arms around the increased incidence of overweight and obesity.
The United Kingdom hoped to do this via the development of a "National Childhood Obesity Database."
The idea was to weigh all 5 to 11 year-olds to create the largest database of its kind in the world — with the hope that having this good-quality data would translate into effective programs for increasing physical activity and improving diet.
Well, I'm not sure how having this data would help with these goals but it looks like they aren't going to get it anyway.
Only 48 percent of the country's children were given permission by the their parents to participate in the study. Conservatives in the UK are calling this shambles over data collection "just one more public health failure by this government."
What a waste:
1. There is no evidence that the goals of collecting this data (increasing physical activity and improving diet) will have any impact on childhood obesity.
2. Even if there was, it's not at all clear how having this data would help in making these goals occur.
4. Even if having this data would help, it probably not possible to collect it.
When are public health officials going to stop wasting their time on projects that will have no impact on the problem of childhood obesity and start focusing and dealing with the real issues?

Port Vale: Supporters praised for helping to save Valiants
Posted: February 13, 2013|
PETE Williams stepped down as chairman of Port Vale Supporters' Club last night insisting that fans had saved the club from oblivion.
The 62-year-old from Clayton led supporters' efforts to help the stricken club throughout its nine months in administration last year.
And speaking during the supporters' club annual meeting, Williams declared: "We did lots of fund-raising and paid off pressing debts such as those for the club's coach travel, provided support to pay for players' lunches and even paid for grass seed and top dressing for the pitch.
"We also helped get the ground ready when there were concerns it wouldn't be for the new season.

"So the supporters' club saved Port Vale, and we did it because we love the club. I'm extremely proud and humble."
Williams became chairman of the supporters' club in October 2011 when it was a disparate group boasting no more than 200 members.
But an unpopular board, the shares controversy involving former chairman Peter Miller and chief executive Perry Deakin, and then the spectre of Vale sliding into administration for the second time helped unite fans.
Membership grew to more than 1,600 as the club had an increasing say in the future of Port Vale.
It also played a key role in the fruition of long-term projects such as the erection of a statue to club legend Roy Sproson at Vale Park.
Williams added: "We have achieved a great deal over the last 18 months by working together as one group.
"We've overseen the unveiling of the Sproson statue, we've seen our membership grow to more than 1,600 and our team is top of the league.
"Who would have thought any of that was possible less than 12 months ago?
"We've also raised more than £70,000 since 2009, and last year alone we paid nearly £41,000 into our account."
Much of that money has been handed over to Vale or spent on the Sproson statue, but Williams said there was still £6,331 left in club coffers.
"We're handing over to a new committee with the supporters club in good health," he added.
"We've helped to steer the football club through rocky waters, and now, with new owners, we can look forward to the future with optimism."
Williams was replaced as chairman by Ally Simcock.
The 35-year-old mum of two from Longton was voted in ahead of Vale Community Officer Jim Cooper, who becomes vice-chairman.
Simcock, a teacher at Stoke-on-Trent College, said: "I'm looking forward to the challenge."
One of Simcock's first jobs will be to find a secretary and treasurer, as none of the 50 or so fans at Tommy Cheadle's pub last night volunteered for the now-vacant roles.

text: after looking at some of the articles at Rookie, I noticed this article called "The Year of My Eating Disorder". The article talks about how this girl, who was a sixth grader at the time, was anorexic and how she overcame it. My initial reaction was that no sixth grader should ever be that self-conscious of their weight or how they look. However, this got me thinking about the discussion that we had about body image in class the other day. I never realized that the media was starting to affect kids at such a young age. I mean I've seen the Tyra episodes and the Dove commercials that talk about how little girls get depressed about how they look, but I never really believed them. Looking at the article made me think about how much this particular stereotype has shaped the way women think. There are so many advertisement that show women with thin bodies and sex appeal and other images where they are well toned and have defined muscles. I realized that there are so many of these ads that feature women, who are models, that fit that description. It's strange to think that a picture or a video can make someone think that you aren't pretty or that you aren't unique in your own way. i think that this article really opens your eyes as to how thinking about women as sex objects and pressuring body images can change the female psyche.

Showa Corp., a Honda parts supplier with a central Ohio plant, has agreed to plead guilty to price fixing and pay a $19.9 million fine, the government said this morning.
The company helped to organize a conspiracy to suppress competition and fix prices for power-steering assemblies sold to Honda, according to the complaint filed in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Ohio in Cincinnati.
Showa is based in Japan. It serves Honda's Ohio operations with a plant in Sunbury.
The plea agreement is the latest development in a larger investigation by the U.S. Department of Justice of price-fixing among auto-parts suppliers that serve several automakers. It has already led to prosecutions at other Honda suppliers with operations in Ohio.
"Today's guilty plea marks the 27th time a company has been held accountable for fixing prices on parts used to manufacture cars in the United States," said Bill Baer, assistant attorney general in charge of the department's antitrust division, in a statement. "The Antitrust Division and its law enforcement partners remain committed to prosecuting illegal cartels that harm U.S. consumers and businesses."
Showa officials worked with other companies to agree on the prices they would bid to automakers, and then monitored to make sure the participants were following through with the plans, the complaint said.
The company was part of the conspiracy from as early as 2007 until as recently as September 2012.
America Showa, the U.S. subsidiary of Showa Corp., has a factory in Sunbury with more than 500 employees, which makes it one of the 10 largest employers in Delaware County, according to the county auditor's office. The company also has a factory in Blanchester in the Cincinnati area.
The company had this statement:
"American Showa Inc. values its customers, associates and the communities it serves, and is fully committed to ethical business practices and to exceeding its customers' expectations. American Showa Inc.'s daily operations will continue as usual and all fines are the responsibility of Showa Corp."
The victims in these cases are the automakers and their customers, who may have paid higher prices because of the price-fixing.
Honda spokesman Ron Lietzke had no comment about the specifics of the Showa charges.
"During this entire investigation, Honda has cooperated with authorities," he said.
The plea agreement needs to be approved by the court.

Resilience in Children
The Penn Resiliency Project
Investigators and Co-Directors: Jane Gillham, Ph.D. & Karen Reivich, Ph.D.
The Penn Resiliency Program Curriculum
Overview: The Penn Resiliency Program (PRP), designed by our research team, is a group intervention for late elementary and middle school students. The curriculum teaches cognitive-behavioral and social problem-solving skills and is based in part on cognitive-behavioral theories of depression by Aaron Beck, Albert Ellis, and Martin Seligman (Abramson, Seligman, & Teasdale, 1978; Beck, 1967, 1976; Ellis, 1962). Central to PRP is Ellis' Adversity-Consequences-Beliefs (ABC) model, the notion that our beliefs about events mediate their impact on our emotions and behavior. Through this model, students learn to detect inaccurate thoughts, to evaluate the accuracy of those thoughts, and to challenge negative beliefs by considering alternative interpretations. PRP also teaches a variety of strategies that can be used for solving problems and coping with difficult situations and emotions. Students learn techniques for assertiveness, negotiation, decision-making, social problem-solving, and relaxation. The skills taught in the program can be applied to many contexts of life, including relationships with peers and family members as well as achievement in academics or other activities.
Structure of PRP lessons: PRP is typically delivered in 12 90-minute lessons or 18-24 60-minute lessons. Some projects have used shorter versions of PRP. Within each lesson, resilience concepts and skills are presented and practiced in a variety of ways. Skills are introduced through skits, role plays, short stories, or cartoons that illustrate the core concepts. Once students have a firm understanding of these concepts, they practice with hypothetical examples that demonstrate how the skill is relevant to real-world situations that they might face. Students discuss situations in which they used, or could have used, the concepts they have just learned. They are then encouraged to use the new skills in their daily life as part of their weekly homework.
PRP Group Leaders: PRP group leaders have included PRP's developers, graduate students in psychology and education, mental health professionals, and school teachers and counselors. Group leaders typically receive extensive training and supervision.
Links to additional information about the PRP curriculum:
• Description of PRP Lessons
• Group Leader Training and Supervision
• Curriculum Availability
Previous Evaluations and Findings
PRP has been evaluated in at least 13 controlled studies with more than 2,000 children and adolescents between the ages of 8 and 15. These studies have been conducted by our research group as well as by other research teams. Most of the studies used randomized controlled designs. All of the studies assessed PRP's effects on depressive symptoms. Several studies assessed PRP's effects on cognitive styles that are linked to depression, such as pessimistic explanatory style, and three studies examined PRP's effects on anxiety symptoms.
Taken together, the existing studies suggest that PRP prevents symptoms of depression and anxiety, although some inconsistent findings have been reported. PRP's effects also appear to be long-lasting. In studies that include long-term follow-ups, PRP's effects sometimes endure for two years or more. In several studies, PRP has prevented elevated or clinically relevant levels of depression and anxiety symptoms. One study examined PRP's effects on clinical diagnoses and found significant prevention of depression, anxiety and adjustment disorder diagnoses (combined) across a two-year follow-up period among children with high (but not low) levels of baseline symptoms (Gillham, Hamilton, Freres, Patton, & Gallup, 2006). One study that examined PRP's long-term effects on behavioral (externalizing) problems found significant preventive effects of disruptive behaviors 24 to 36 months after the intervention (Cutuli, 2004; Cutuli, Chaplin, Gillham, Reivich, & Seligman, 2007).

Help us update our summary of PRP research! Have you conducted a study of PRP? If so, we would be grateful if you could send us information about the study (including the reference for any manuscripts or publications) to us at prpresearch@ gmail.com. Thank you!
• The Resilience Project for Children and Parents: With funding from the National Institute of Mental Health, we are currently working in collaboration with two school districts in the Philadelphia area to test the effectiveness of a new parent program designed to accompany the adolescent intervention. The parent program teaches participants to use key PRP skills in their own lives and helps parents encourage their children's use of these skills. Our hope is that parents will model the PRP skills at home long after the school-based intervention groups have ended. In addition, adolescents and parents attend several booster sessions in the years following the intervention. The booster sessions review the critical concepts covered in the initial intervention. We hope that these new additions to the PRP will produce longer lasting intervention effects.
• The Penn Resiliency Project in the United Kingdom (The UK Resilience Program): We are currently consulting on a project that brings PRP to the UK. The major goals of this project are: 1) to adapt PRP for use in the UK, 2) to train teachers on the resilience skills and the delivery of the PRP curriculum to middle school students, and 3) to evaluate the benefits of resilience training when it is implemented on a wide scale. During the summer 2007, members of our research team trained approximately 90 teachers to deliver an adapted version of the PRP curriculum to groups of students in South Tyneside, Hertfordshire, and Manchester local authorities. At present, we are providing ongoing supervision and support to these teachers as they implement the program with several hundred students during the 2007-2008 academic year. A team of researchers at the London School of Economics will head the evaluations of the UK Resilience Program.
• Geelong Grammar School Positive Psychology Project in Australia: We are also collaborating with Geelong Grammar School (GGS) in Australia, which serves approximately 1500 K-12 boarders and day students. Members of the GGS staff are committed to integrating themes of resilience, optimism, and other components of Positive Psychology into the school's culture through the formal implementation of curricula as well as the more informal incorporation of Positive Psychology and resilience into boarding house life, athletics, and administration. Our involvement with this project is twofold: First, about 120 Geelong Grammar School teachers and other professionals in educational and mental health fields participated in a 9-day training workshop in January 2008. During this phase, our team trained the attendees in the research background and practical applications of resilience, optimism, and other areas of Positive Psychology. The second phase of this project, currently underway, will enable GGS teachers to dialogue with resident and visiting scholars in the field of Positive Psychology, who will act as resources as these teachers continue to integrate many of the skills taught in PRP into their school culture.

• Targeting Gender-Related Risk Factors: The Girls in Transition Program (GT): Through her work at Swarthmore College, Dr. Gillham has been developing and piloting a resilience program for early adolescent girls. The GT program includes key cognitive-behavioral concepts and skills from PRP, but focuses more on emotion regulation, interpersonal relationships and conflicts, and contextual risk factors for depression. New activities target rumination, body image concerns, media messages, and relational aggression, as well as other risk factors that may be particularly relevant to depression in girls during the transition to adolescence.
• Other adaptations of PRP: Members of the PRP team are also collaborating on several projects that incorporate PRP skills. For example, we are collaborating on projects that blend PRP with family interventions and with interventions for youth with medical illnesses.

Spurs reached the last 16 of the Europa League on Thursday, edging out Ukrainian side Dnipro over two legs.
The reward is a tie against Benfica and the Belgian admits: "It is a very important game.
"Some people say that for English teams, the Europa League is not so important. But for us I think it's very important.
"We want to achieve something this year and making progress in Europe is a big help."
As for facing Cardiff at White Hart Lane on Sunday, the midfielder added: "It is the right time for us to get them at home after our recent results at White Hart Lane and I think everybody is very happy and maybe a bit more confident after the Dnipro win.
"We hope now that we can see off Cardiff correctly and professionally. It was an important thing for us to beat Dnipro."

I know a lot of my posts tell you where you can get free products that women use. One reason for that is because I'm a woman so those are the kinds of products I'm looking for. Another is that it just seems to be that more products for women are being given away.
But I don't want the guys to feel left out. So here is not one but two freebie offers for you.
Go to www.facebook.com/bumppatrol and click on "Free Samples." The site doesn't say what kind of samples of Bump Patrol product for razor bumps you will get, only that it's while supplies last.
Go to www.facebook.com/clearmen and click on "On the House." Don't panic. If you read the small print, it says you don't really have to enter "a piece of perfect advice to pass on to your fellow man." That's optional and if you leave the box blank, you can still submit your request for a free Clear Men Scalp Therapy sample.
