Note: This is part three of the story. You may want to read Part I or Part II before reading this piece
Once outcast and shunned from the military dog community, Sergeant Daniel Sandoval had gotten a second chance. He was accepted into the Fort Bragg's dog kennels unconditionally.
Daniel was paired up with the stubborn, oversized wolf dog, Military Working Dog Bony. He was excited for the challenge and worked on bonding with the experienced German shepherd.
His wife Sabrina had just given birth to their second son, Carver. This should have been one of the happiest times of Daniel's life.
But it wasn't.
Daniel was stressed to the max. His career and his family were seemingly on a crash course and giving him sleepless nights.
He needed to talk to his new kennel master, Staff First Class Webster, the same man who squashed any rumors of Daniel purposely failing certification at his prior kennel so he wouldn't have to deploy. He had given Daniel a second chance and now Daniel had to face him. He had to tell him he couldn't go to certification, and he might need to delay deployment. His son was having trouble breathing. He couldn't leave him or his wife Sabrina like this. But how would Webster react?
Webster was under pressure to deliver certified dog teams to the troops on the front lines in Afghanistan. The kennel needed to fill their deployment slots. Someone would have to fill this slot. Daniel had gotten in trouble before. Now he was facing the same basic problem—he couldn't deploy on schedule.
He dragged his feet as he shuffled through the dirt parking lot. Dogs were barking in the background while several teams were out in the exercise yard, running their dogs through the obstacle course. He should have been with them, preparing for certification. He couldn't bear to look at them.
His mind foggy, his heart pounding, he walked into Webster's office.
"Sandoval, I heard about your son. Talk to me, Sergeant," Webster said as he gestured Daniel to sit.
Daniel hesitated. Was this man—a man in a position to destroy his career—actually going to listen? Webster had given him another chance. Maybe he should trust him? What choice did he have?
Daniel poured out his heart to the man who sat, listened, and nodded.
"Listen, Sandoval. I don't want you to think of certification, deploying, or Bony until you take care of your family. I need your head in the game."
He couldn't believe this. Here sat a leader who actually cared about him as a person. More importantly, he cared about Daniel's family.
It was no longer a matter of if he certified and deployed. When he would do so was the question. He wouldn't let Webster down.
Carver had been born with meconium in his lungs, making his oxygen level very low. For weeks Sabrina and Daniel spent days and nights at the children's hospital in the NICU.
With Carver's breathing problem under control, Daniel returned to the kennels more determined than ever for redemption. He had something to prove—not to the leadership that cast him away from the kennels at his prior duty station. He was seeking redemption for his family and himself from the man who had given him another chance.
Was it lucky for him that he was partnered with the hulking wolf dog? Bony was an intimidating, 100-pound stubborn knucklehead. He considered himself to be alpha. Bony did what he wanted when he wanted. Bony thought he was in charge. Bony was wrong.
Woof. Woof Woof.
Drool dripped from the grey chin of the Wolf as he charged the kennel door. His lips curled back as he emitted a series of viscous snarls.
Specialist Jiminez backed away as the Wolf's spittle shot through the mesh door..
Daniel smiled and stared at Bony. Jiminez had just returned from Afghanistan and was going to help him get ready for certification.
Bony didn't know Jiminez. Bony didn't like anyone he didn't know. Unless of course they were female. The Wolf loved the ladies.
Daniel slammed the door open and Bony leaped backwards. He stepped into the kennel run. Bony's tail wagged and his ears flopped backwards.
The now docile grey wolf rolled on his back and begged Daniel for love.
"He likes to act like he is tough guy. But don't worry. He is just showboating," Daniel told Jiminez.
Daniel had broken him down during training and turned him into a loyal partner. Daniel's determination and skill combined with Bony's experience made them a formidable dog team. They breezed through their local and official certification and quickly found themselves on an airplane heading to Afghanistan.
Daniel's orders assigned him to the Special Operations Command at Bagram Airbase. He wasn't sure who he would be working with: Green Berets, Seals, Marines or Coalition Special Operations. He knew he would be all right though. He had Bony the Wolf Dog by his side.

Here are a few things to think about when mulching your raised beds:
- Use an organic mulch like pine straw, straw, leaves, grass clippings, or a hardwood mulch.
- Avoid the colored mulches. I did that last year and didn't see any benefit. I don't know if they have harmful chemicals in them or not but they are a little more expensive.
- Put your irrigation system (soaker hoses and drip lines) under the mulch. Keeping the hoses under the mulch keeps the water under the mulch which reduces evaporation. More water to the plants root systems means more vegetables for you. That's always a good thing!
- If you choose to use a plastic mulch (I prefer organic) put your irrigation system in first so it can go underneath the mulch.
- If you use grass clippings make sure you are using them from non-chemically treated lawns and from grass that hasn't gone to seed. Unless you like fescue in with your tomatoes, I don't!
If you haven't gotten your mulch down yet it's time to start, things are only going to get warmer here in Tennessee!

PORTLAND, Maine (NEWS CENTER) -- Due to recent events with carbon monoxide poisoning, NEWS CENTER decided to put together a list of how to detect and avoid carbon monoxide poisoning. Here are somefacts and tipswe found from the U.S. Fire Administration.
- CO is a gas that you cannot smell, taste, or see.
- Poisoning can be a result of dryers, cars left running in garages, portlabe generators, faulty furnaces, or water heaters.
- Homeowners should install and maintain CO alarms, which provide early warning of carbon monoxide.
- Fuel-burning heating equipment and chimneys should be inspected by a professional every year.
- Vents from furnaces, stoves, fireplaces, and dryers should always be clear of snow and other debris.
-Symptoms of CO poisoning include drowsiness, headaches, and nausea.

This incredible footage from a 1984 performance at the Church Street Station Theatre in Orlando features The Nitty Gritty Dirt Band with special guests Stella Parton and Gus Harding. One of the few bands to have success on both the rock and pop as well as the country charts, The Nitty Gritty Dirt band has had hit records in five different decades and has lasted longer than virtually any other country-based rock group of their era. Younger contemporaries of the Byrds, they played an almost equally important role in the transformation from folk-rock into country-rock, and were an influence on such bands as the Eagles and Alabama and released the seminal triple album, Will the Circle Be Unbroken, in January of 1973, that became a million-seller. The band have since performed and recorded with any number of country/bluegrass crossover artists whose career paths were made easier by that first record, including John Hiatt, Mary Chapin Carpenter, and Rosanne Cash. Songs: High Horse · Home Again in My Heart · Long Hard Road · Partners, Brothers, Friends · Cadillac Ranch · Dance Little Jean · Randy Lynn · Scruggs Rag · Mr. Bojangles · Stella Parton Standard Lie #1 and Danger of a Stranger · Gus Harding Walls of Tears and All Tangled Up. 1 hour, 15 minutes.

John Hughes' Research Grant Abstracts
Natural History of Attempts to Stop Smoking, National Institute on Drug Abuse
Smoking cessation can be enhanced either by increasing the success of quit attempts or by increasing in the number of quit attempts. Although many studies have determined the variables that influence remaining abstinent after a quit attempt, few have examined the variables that influence the onset of a quit attempt. The current application tests two facets of a model of the processes that lead to a quit attempt. First, we test whether certain environmental cues (e.g., a request from a child to quit smoking or exposure to a smoking-related health message) increase the probability of a quit attempt in the near future. We also examine whether such cues predict attempts over and above the predictive ability of cognitive factors such as self-efficacy and perceived social norms and whether these cognitive factors interact to make cues more powerful predictors. Second, we test whether planning behaviors (e.g. seeking information about treatment) and setting a quit date are common and increase the probability of a quit attempt. We also provide a more rigorous replication test of prior findings that spontaneous, unplanned quit attempts are more successful than delayed, planned quit attempts. In a pilot study, we will develop measures of external cues and planning activities. The main study is a non-treatment, prospective, natural history study. In this study, we will recruit 200 adult daily smokers who are interested in quitting in the next 6 months. They will call an Interactive Voice Recording (IVR) system daily and complete mailed or internet questionnaires weekly for 6 months. Our prior work has shown that we can obtain such daily and weekly reports for 6 months with little missing data. The daily IVR will record tobacco use/abstinence, intentions to quit, external cues and planning behaviors. The weekly questionnaires will measure cognitive variables and other outcomes (e.g. other drug use). Data analysis will use multilevel models designed to accommodate many repeated measures over time within participants. The results of this study will a) help develop a model of the causes of smoking cessation attempts, b) guide development of media and individual interventions to motivate smokers to make a quit attempt, and c) provide a more rigorous test of whether spontaneous, impulsive quit attempts should be encouraged rather than delayed, planned quit attempts.
Attempts to Stop/Reduce Marijuana Among Dependent Users, National Institute on Drug Abuse
The major aim of this study is to provide a detailed understanding of attempts to stop or reduce marijuana use that can be used to develop better behavioral treatments for marijuana dependence. The application will provide a prospective description of attempts by dependent adult marijuana users to stop or reduce their marijuana use in a real-world setting. Although prospective, natural history studies describing attempts to stop or reduce alcohol, heroin and tobacco use have proved useful, we know of no such study among adult marijuana users. A pilot study will develop measures and assess compliance with our procedures. The main study will recruit 200 daily, adult marijuana smokers who plan to quit or reduce in the near future. Participants will call an Interactive Voice Recording (IVR) system daily for 3 months to report marijuana use, intentions to change marijuana use, quit/reduction attempts, and events that might increase or decrease the probability of initiating a quit/reduction attempt or the success of an attempt. Participants will be called weekly to obtain more detailed measures such as other drug use, self-efficacy, psychiatric/medical symptoms, and treatment seeking. Phone follow-ups at 4, 5 and 6 months will track marijuana and other drug use and dependence/abuse.
Does smoking cessation cause anhedonia? A test of pre-clinical findings, National Institute on Drug Abuse
Recent animal research indicates acute nicotine increases the reinforcing effects of other rewards; however, chronic use of nicotine recruits an opponent process that counteracts the acute effects of nicotine and decreases sensitivity to rewards. When nicotine is discontinued in animals, this opponent process persists and the resultant decreased sensitivity to rewards may be a cause of nicotine withdrawal symptoms such as depression and a cause of relapse back to smoking. Although this animal model is widely cited, whether decreased reward sensitivity occurs when smokers stop smoking is unclear. We propose an experimental test that focuses on whether abstinent smokers a) are less sensitive to monetary rewards during an operant task and/or b) report anhedonia (less pleasure from rewards) and apathy (less motivation to seek rewards). We will recruit 120 current smokers who plan to quit smoking for good to smoke their usual amount for one week and then will abstain for 4 weeks. To insure an adequate number of continuously abstinent smokers and to decrease selection bias, we will use monetary contingencies to encourage abstinence. We anticipate this will produce > 70 smokers who remain abstinent for all 4 weeks. To assist in interpretation of results, we will also recruit a comparison group of 70 long-abstinent former smokers to be measured on the same schedule. We will measure reward sensitivity three times each week using a) progressive ratio (PR) responding for monetary rewards and b) self-report measures of anhedonia and apathy scales. If reward sensitivity changes with abstinence, secondary aims will be to determine a) its magnitude, incidence and time course; b) whether it exhibits the time course expected of a withdrawal effect, c) whether reward sensitivity becomes similar to the level among long-abstinent smokers and c) whether decreased reward sensitivity could be the basis for much of withdrawal discomfort. The results of this study will be an important translational test of the leading animal model of nicotine withdrawal. If we find decreased reward sensitivity, this would suggest revisions in clinical descriptions of nicotine withdrawal, new targets for behavioral and pharmacological interventions and new treatments for smoking cessation (e.g., increased exposure to rewarding events). If reward sensitivity does not change with abstinence, then (given the adequacy of our test) this would suggest a widely-cited animal model of abstinence effects may not be generalizable to human attempts to stop smoking.
Treatment for Smoking Lapses and Relapses, National Cancer Institute
Over-the-counter nicotine replacement therapy (OTC NRT) is, by far, the most common treatment for smoking cessation in the US. Over 80% of those using NRT will lapse and return to smoking. One possible reason for this high rate of treatment failure is that smokers are instructed to stop medication when they lapse (in contrast to recommendations to increase medication dose when heroin users lapse). Recent indirect evidence suggests that, in fact, a lapse is the most important time to continue NRT. We propose a randomized controlled trial of continued NRT post-lapse vs. stopping NRT post-lapse. Smokers who want to quit will receive, counseling, stop abruptly and begin NRT. All psychosocial treatment will occur via phone and medications via mail. Instructions and rationales for continuing or stopping NRT during a lapse episode will be delivered via written material, Interactive Voice Response (IVR) phone messages and reinforced during phone counseling. We will enter 1000 smokers and anticipate observing 580 lapse while using NRT. We hypothesize our intervention to continue NRT use upon a lapse will increase 6 month point prevalent abstinence with an OR of 2.0. We will also examine compliance with instructions and possible behavioral mechanisms of efficacy (e.g. does continued NRT reduce nicotine reward from cigarettes) as well as the incidence of serious adverse events when participants are concurrently smoking and using NRT after a lapse. This study will be the first direct experimental test of whether continuing NRT after a relapse increases abstinence and is safe. Positive results would suggest the package instructions for NRT, treatment guidelines and training programs should change to explicitly encourage smokers to continue NRT treatment after a lapse.

The Associated Press released its weekly rankings for college basketball and Iowa State University came in at No. 9, up from No. 13 the week before. Iowa State was 13-0 at the time of the ranking (they played Baylor on Jan. 7 in Ames). The University of Iowa also moved up, from No. 22 to No. 20, despite a 75-71 loss to Wisconsin on Jan. 5. If you want to celebrate, the pizza of the week at Gusto Pizza is the Heeeere's Johnny! pizza, paying tribute to the late ISU basketball coach Johnny Orr.

USU Eastern's Bryce Blackburn, right, goes into a slide to make it safely to third base during a game on Friday afternoon. The Golden Eagles swept the Idaho All-Stars over four games on Friday and Saturday afternoon at the USU Eastern Baseball Field
USU Eastern first baseman Jonathan Santiago takes a big swing at a pitch on Friday. Santiago was one of many hitters to do well as he collected a few hits including a home run during the sweep.
USU Eastern Baseball now 8-8 on the season picking up four confidence building wins
The game of baseball can be difficult with hitters and pitchers fighting through slumps and looking for that good pitch or strong at-bat to help get things turned around.
But not too much in the game feels better than getting a four-game sweep of your opponent.
USU Eastern took all four of the games against the Idaho All-Stars on Friday (14-4, 10-3) and Saturday (8-0, 13-2) at the USU Eastern Baseball Field.
"Things went pretty well for us this weekend," said USU Eastern Head Coach Scott Madsen.
Madsen said the games were key for a team looking to build confidence with a tough schedule over the rest of the season.
Jonathan Santiago and Greg Ashley hit home runs, Tyson Hutchins had a great weekend with seven hits total in the four games and Bryce Blackburn picked up four RBIs for the Golden Eagles.
"These games gave us a chance to step back and work on a lot of things including getting our hitters more confidence at the plate," said Madsen.
The pitchers also had strong performances led by Colter Moore's six-inning, 12 strikeout outing on Saturday. Sean Hardman and Chase Castleberry also had good performances as well as most of the pitching staff getting a chance to get some work in against the Idaho All-Stars.
With USU Eastern now at 8-8 on the season, there will be little time for the team to rest as they will hit the road to travel to Thatcher, Ariz., where they will take on Eastern Arizona College for four games from Wednesday through Friday.

Are these two the most fit couple ever?
Jesse Metcalfe and his girlfriend Cara Santana hit the beach in Santa Monica this week -- where they both showed off their enviable physiques.
It's clear the "Dallas" star and Cara work out on their downtime, as they both comfortably posed for photos as they walked around half-naked on the sand.
Though it was reported that Jesse popped the question to his girlfriend, a source recently told E! that they are not engaged and are just dating.
See how their beach bods stack up against other celebs -- including LeAnn Rimes, Hayden Panettiere and P!nk -- in the gallery above.

Climate Change Responses That Strengthen Rural Communities
The goal of this work is to promote climate change policies that meet the needs of rural poor communities worldwide.
The Challenge
The majority of the world's poor live in rural areas that face severe vulnerability to the threats posed by climate change. Sustainable land and resource management can contribute to mitigating climate change, while improving livelihoods of rural populations, particularly indigenous groups and ethnic minorities.
The evolving international response to climate change is particularly relevant for the rural poor, because payments for environmental services can provide new sources of income and benefits.
What We're Doing
We are working to address flawed policies that can limit poor people's access to the natural resources they depend on and can foster land speculation and conflict.
We do this by making grants to support research, advocacy, networking among organizations and communications to increase awareness and training activities.
Our work also focuses on promoting socially just climate change policies that meet the needs of the rural poor.
Learn more about how our strategies and approaches shape our grant making.
What We're Following
- Climate Justice and Women's Rights This report spotlights bold, women-led projects to address climate change in communities around the world, offering case studies and practical tips on how to get resources to local people working at the nexus of women's rights and climate change.
- The Year in Review for Rainforests Mongabay.com summarizes major news relating to tropical forests around the world.

Tom Quinn, the original patent holder for the motion tracking technology that was eventually featured in the Wii console from Nintendo, says that both Sony and Microsoft have refused to look into his gyroscope powered concept.
In a larger feature on CVG the developer says about his Microsoft meeting that, "The meeting went terribly. The attitude I got from them was that if they wanted to do motion control, they would do it themselves and make a better job of it. I mean, they were just rude."
Apparently one of the executives he met actually apologized for the attitude of the others present.
Ken Kutaragi, the well-know Sony leading engineer who led the PlayStation revolution, also saw the motion tracking concept as a distraction rather than a core feature.
Quinn adds, "Kutaragi comes in, introduces himself, sits down and – I swear this is true – he closed his eyes the moment I started showing my pitch. It was awkward, very awkward, but I still asked him for feedback and he said, 'well, can you produce this for 50 cents?' I laughed and explained that would be impossible, so again I left empty handed."
The hardware maker believes that much of the lack of interest at Microsoft and Sony was motivated by the fact that the Xbox and the PlayStation were doing much better in the marketplace than the Nintendo made GameCube.
This made Nintendo much more open to new ideas and after a meeting which included Atsushi Asada the technology that Quinn created became part of the Wii.
The home console impressed with its motion tracking technology on launch and quickly became the biggest seller of the early years of the current console generation.
Nintendo has now launch the Wii U follow-up in the United States, which includes a touch screen in addition to motion tracking.

Swedish Child Health Care nurses conceptions of overweight in children: a qualitative study
Publiceringsår: 2012

Förlag: Biomed Central LTD
Background: Registered Sick Children's Nurses and District Nurses employed at Child Health Care centres are in a position to help prevent childhood overweight and obesity. Prevention of this challenging public health threat could be improved through having a better understanding of how this group of nurses perceives childhood obesity. The aim of this study was to elucidate the conceptions of childhood overweight, including obesity, among nurses working in Child Health Care. Method: A qualitative study using a phenomenographic approach, based on open-ended interviews with 18 Child Health Care nurses (CHC-nurses) strategically selected from 17 Child Health Care Centres in the southern part of Sweden. Results: Four categories of description emerged from the data: Perception of childhood overweight changes, Overweight in younger children a neglected concern, Overweight a delicate issue and Importance of family lifestyle. The participating CHC-nurses conceived overweight in children, primarily obesity in children to be an extensive and serious problem which affects children, families and the surrounding society. Overweight in children was further perceived as a consequence of their parent's lifestyle and their awareness of the problem, which was considered by the CHC-nurses as a sensitive and a provoking issue. It was also perceived that overweight in children is not taken seriously during the pre-school period and that concerns regarding overweight in younger children were mainly about the appearance and not the health of the child. The CHC-nurses perceived that the proportion of overweight children has increased, which Swedish society and the CHC-nurses have adapted to. This adaptation makes it difficult for CHC-nurses to define those children who are overweight. Conclusion: CHC-nurses provide a comprehensive and complex picture of childhood overweight, which includes several difficulties dealing with this issue. Attention to CHC-nurse's conceptions of overweight in children is important since it can affect the parent-nurse relationship and thereby the nurse's, as well as the parent's efforts to influence the children's weight. It is suggested that CHC nurses should work with person centered counseling and empowerment concerning parent to child relations in cases involving overweight.

So first my screen was all like…
And then it was all like…
And then I was all like…
Here's something you should know: I.T. is not frigging rocket science. It's no cakewalk to create a system for a nationwide program based on a law so complex no one who voted for it ever read it, but it's something that can be done.
I saw Kathleen Sebelius comparing the site to Kayak.com, leaving out the key difference: Kayak works.
The problem is that the companies who have the skills to do the work and the companies who have the skills to navigate government bidding and contracting hurdles are not the same companies. The job goes to whatever political crony managed to manipulate the system more efficiently.
I imagine Mad PowerPoint Skillz, rather than programming expertise, had a lot to do with who landed the HealthCare.gov contract.
I assume the project was pieced out to various contractors, with poor communication and integration among the various players, all of it wrapped around a thick, neugoty center of government malfeasance and incompetence.
I read today that the site cost $634 million. Blizzard Software probably could have made three or four different World of Warcraft games, each integrating millions of users in a live, graphically rich, and dynamic online environment, for about about the same amount of money. And that $634 million was well in excess of the $94 million it was supposed to cost.
There is no reason–none, zero, zip, zilch–that this system should not work. Improper load-testing is just not an excuse. All major website rollouts have load issues, and some have rocky rollouts. I've never seen any rollout, however, done this poorly.
It doesn't help that, according to this story, the system appears to be performing harakiri every time someone logs in:
One possible cause of the problems is that hitting "apply" on HealthCare.gov causes 92 separate files, plug-ins and other mammoth swarms of data to stream between the user's computer and the servers powering the government website, said Matthew Hancock, an independent expert in website design. He was able to track the files being requested through a feature in the Firefox browser.
It is not clear why the upload function was included.
"They set up the website in such a way that too many requests to the server arrived at the same time," Hancock said.
He said because so much traffic was going back and forth between the users' computers and the server hosting the government website, it was as if the system was attacking itself.
Yes, you read that correctly: the site is performing DDOS (distributed denial of service) attacks on itself.
It's almost like a performance art piece, emulating in code what this administration is doing to the country in reality: swamping us with endless amounts of meaningless actions that plague and fatigue us until we keel over dead.

Here is a privately taken photograph of at least one Rolls Royce on Castle Hill, with the chauffeur in a long white coat and an Eton boy in his top hat. I am currently checking on the date but first guess is about 1914.
Thank you for sending the picture of the two Silver Ghosts. As you say, they appear to be hire cars. Unfortunately, the registration numbers are indistinct and I have not yet been able to identify the chassis numbers for the cars. The front car registration looks like, as you say, CF 650. The CF prefix was issued between January 1921 and July 1930. This would tie in with the car looking to date as a 1921/2 Silver Ghost. The registration cannot be GF because that prefix was not issued until after March 1933. The registration number of the car in the rear appears to me to be a single letter followed by 4 numbers – possibly 3453.

In case you have not had a chance to read it yet, the May/June 2009 issue of the Journal of the American Podiatric Medical Association (JAPMA) is among the best ever in terms of content for the fan of lower extremity biomechanics.
Hats off to Warren Joseph, DPM, who has driven this journal to a level of excellence, which is admired around the world. One only has to look at the diverse contributions from international researchers to appreciate that JAPMA is now a stage for publishing landmark articles relevant to all aspects of podiatric medicine.
I was particularly impressed by five articles in the latest issue of JAPMA that dealt with various studies of podiatric biomechanics. Shannon Mahar, MSc, and Lori Livingston, PhD, both from Great Britain, gave an eye-opening insight into the variation which can occur when different measurement techniques are used to measure rearfoot position and tibial varum.
Landsman and colleagues studied two "Good Feet" orthoses to determine the effects on pain, reduction of deformity and balance.2 Remember all those tacky infomercials for Good Feet stores? Read this article.
Beverly Durrant, MSc, BSc(Hons) Pod, and Nachiappan Chockalingam, PhD, provide an in-depth review of current and past concepts of functional hallux limitus.3 The authors correctly note that most previous publications on this subject are based upon theory and anecdotal findings. They call for robust quantitative research to facilitate evidence-based practice for the future.
Do you ever wonder what happens to a kid's feet when walking on Heelys? Check out the article by Nathan Norem, BS, and colleagues from the Scholl's Center for Lower Extremity Ambulatory Research.4 The discussion section of this article is a first-class illustration of the numerous factors that go into biomechanical analysis.
Finally, the article by Fiona Hawke, BAppSc(Pod)Hons, Joshua Burns, PhD, BAppSc(Pod)Hons, and Karl Landorf, PhD, GradDipEd, DipAppSc(Pod) is a must-read for all podiatric physicians.5
Arguably the premier authorities on evidence-based research in podiatric medicine, these Australia-based professors provide a keen insight into the need for systematic reviews for podiatric physicians to make sense of the plethora of research being published today that is relevant to their field of clinical practice. They provide an excellent review of the Cochrane Collaboration, which we now commonly see quoted by third party payors when they deny new treatments as being "experimental."
This issue of JAPMA provides a wonderful international contribution to our current understanding of biomechanics, research and evidence-based medicine. I am proud that our APMA has such a stellar journal to showcase our current level of practice and cooperation with contributors from around the world.

2013 Top Ranked Countries in the Global Peace Index (GPI)
What's the GPI?
The Global Peace Index (GPI) is the world's leading measure of national peacefulness. Now in its seventh year, it ranks 162 nations according to their 'absence of violence'.
The GPI is developed by IEP (Institute for Economics and Peace) under the guidance of an international panel of independent experts with data collated and calculated by the Economist Intelligence Unit (EIU). It is composed of 22 indicators, ranging from a nation's level of military expenditure to its relations with neighbouring countries and the percentage of prison population.
Do you know which are the most peaceful countries in the world?
Let me give you a hint, there're no superpowers in the top 20 ranking, except for the EU. That's right, Europe "erased" the rest of the world with 13 countries on the list, followed by 2 from Oceania, 4 from Asia and only 1 from America.
In fact, Iceland, Denmark and New Zealand are at the top of the list, with Japan (6), Canada (8), Australia (16) Singapur (17), Qatar (19) and Bhutan (20), the rest are more EU countries, obviously. Another rankings worth mentioning are: Costa Rica (40), Brasil (89), United States (99), China (100), Venezuela (128), Mexico (133), India (141), Colombia 147, Rusia (155), Irak (159) and Afganistan (162).
By the way, according to the GPI, the most peaceful countries in Latin America and Africa are Uruguay (24) and Mauritius (21).
The data is sourced from a wide range of respected sources, including the International Institute of Strategic Studies, The World Bank, various UN Agencies, peace institutes and the EIU. The index has been tested against a range of potential "drivers" or determinants of peace—including levels of democracy and transparency, education and national well-being.
Several countries have been removed since 2008 due to the fact that the compilers agreed that the GPI would include nations, but not micro-states. Now, countries covered by the GPI must either have a population of more than 1 million or a land area greater than 20,000 square kilometers.
The main findings of the Global Peace Index are: 1-Peace is correlated to indicators such as income, schooling and the level of regional integration, 2-Peaceful countries often shared high levels of transparency of government and low corruption and 3- Small, stable countries which are part of regional blocks are most likely to get a higher ranking.

Having it All – Link to an Insightful Article About Having a Child with Special Needs
Posted by pta373 on August 13, 2012
Marie Myung-Ok Lee is a novelist who teaches at Columbia University and writes for Slate, Salon, The New York Times, and The Guardian. Because of her child's disabilities, the author will never have a tidy, peaceful life. But none of this keeps her from being happy — as long as she asks herself the right questions. Here is her story, which originally appeared in The Atlantic.

Get ready for the NFL FOOTBALL season. We now carry an assortment of the NFL Team Cleaning Cloths. NFL Cleaning Cloths are only $4.00 each.
Children with uncorrected vision conditions or eye health problems face many barriers in life ... academically ... socially ... and athletically. High-quality eye care can break down these barriers and help enable your children to reach their highest potential.
Vision doesn't just happen. A child's brain learns how to use eyes to see, just like it learns how to use legs to walk or a mouth to form words. The longer a vision problem goes undiagnosed and untreated, the more a child's brain learns to accommodate the vision problem.
That's why a comprehensive eye examination is so important for children. Early detection and treatment provide the very best opportunity to correct vision problems, so your child can learn to see clearly. Make sure your child has the best possible tools to learn successfully.
LIKE US on Facebook, receive a FREE gift from us the next time you come in the office AND be entered in the drawing we will be having once we reach 200 LIKES. Want to know more? Contact one of our Team Members today.

San Francisco Waldorf School has a long tradition of active parent involvement, stretching back to the founding of the school by a group of dedicated parents. From the beginning, parents have remained an integral part of the daily operations, from assisting faculty in the classroom to covering phones during school staff meetings. Throughout the years, many volunteers have gone on to serve the school in an official capacity by becoming board members, teachers, and administrators.
The primary work of parent volunteers is to provide expertise, guidance, and their time in a variety of ways. As an example, community events like Winter Fair and Spring Night are organized and run each year by parents. Another very important way that volunteers serve is by joining established school committees, such as the Multicultural Council and Advancement Liaisons. These committees serve an important function in guiding and informing the school in areas that are important, yet may be tangential to the pedagogical focus of faculty.
Although volunteers work across all aspects of the school, most efforts are coordinated through the two groups that serve as the official parent representation to the school, the Parents Association (Early Childhood - Grade 8) and the Parents Council (Grades 9-12). All parents are automatically members of their respective organization.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact the Advancement Office at email@example.com or (415) 931-2750.

Celtique Energie of the UK and Magellan Petroleum Corp., Denver, plan to drill one or two exploratory wells in the Weald basin in southern England in late 2013 aimed at unconventional hydrocarbons.
The UK Department of Energy and Climate Change recently lifted its moratorium on hydraulic fracturing, and the government is exploring new tax incentive proposals to encourage unconventional drilling onshore, Magellan noted.
Magellan, one of only three public companies that offer significant exposure to the emerging UK shale play, holds nearly 200,000 net acres in the Weald basin. The acreage also has potential in conventional formations.

Based on the nyancat internet meme. If you don't know what that is, go to http://nyan.cat ...
For some reason that escapes me, it was found deserving of a special staff feature at deviantArt and featured at the Daily What.
Anyway, the scarf is about 84" long and 5" wide excluding fringe. The cat is removable for when you wash the scarf. I used Caron Simply Soft in cherry red, mango, sunshine, limelight, blue mint, and iris, as well as Lion Brand Wool-Ease in oxford grey, Bernat Satin in camel, G and H hooks, and a bunch of notions I had laying about. :D
Love the colors! But then I'm a sucker for Simply Soft Brights yarn! What a great, quirky little scarf! Great Job!
NYAN NYAN!!!!! So much LOVE for you! :D
Are you interested in selling this pattern?
where do we find a pattern?

'Supernanny' Jo Calls Parents 'Immature and Lazy' (VIDEO)
"Sitting down and working out what was right for your kids just wasn't important enough," Frost says on 'Supernanny' (Fri., 8PM ET on ABC). "You got help coming out your ears," referring to Jenny's mother and the family's nanny, who called Frost for help.
Instead of blaming the nanny, Frost says the couple doesn't discipline their four boys or regard safety issues. "Do you need the broken leg? Do you need the drowning?" asks Frost. What will it take for them to make some changes?

In an interview with the Buffalo News, Pete was outraged: "The way we've been treated, I can't say it's anything other than being bullied." In addition, he actively tried to comply with all the relevant paperwork before he started selling. He called town officials to see if any permits were needed and was informed he didn't need any. Sadly, this is the third time in less than a month that a food truck has been forced to stop vending in Amherst without a permit.Read more »

In a study of American children aged 11 and 12, researchers from UCLA compared those who stood up to aggressors with those who did not.
Children who returned hostility with hostility appeared to be the most mature, the researchers found. Boys who stood up to bullies and schoolyard enemies were judged more socially competent by their teachers. Girls who did the same were more popular and more admired by teachers and peers.
They did not study adults, but I'm sure we can draw our own conclusions regarding fines, traffic tickets, plea bargains, etc.Read more »

The Laramie County Fair is Wyoming's oldest and largest. Every year the fair events conclude with the 4-H Livestock Sale which will take place on Saturday, August 13th at 10:00 a.m. at the Beef Barn. One of the best ways to get great locally raised products can be from buying at the fair and you are supporting the young people raising the animals.

KGAB Beaches Boscobel Broadcast – Day 3 [SPONSORED]
Although we didn't bring any kids on the trip, it was pretty obvious that Beaches Boscobel Resort and Golf Club is a great place for kids.
As we were heading down to breakfast this morning, we walked by the Sesame Street character breakfast. The kids inside were having a blast, dancing with Elmo and hugging Cookie Monster. The little ones were bouncing around, elated to sit down for a meal with their favorite characters. There are various shows and activities to do throughout the day with Sesame Street, like finding the letter of the day with Grover, exercising with Elmo and looking for rubber duckies with Ernie.
KGAB Beaches Boscobel Broadcast – Day 2 [SPONSORED]
Our first excursion during our stay at the Beaches Boscobel Luxury Included Resort and Golf Club was a catamaran cruise on the beautiful and exciting oceans after a morning full of "liquid sunshine."
The highlight of the cruise was lying on the "trampoline" on the front, a series of criss-crossed ribbons that form a webbing with nothing but ocean several feet beneath, and being splashed as the catamaran crested the waves. We also stopped for a while to swim in the ocean, which was surprisingly warm, and even found a starfish and several sea urchins by diving down to the bottom. On the short ride back to the resort, the crew taught us some Jamaican dancing, and the DJ mixed in a few fun American songs for us to enjoy.

[Editor's Note: Per writer "Dave M's" request, we're making this one quick, so that we can get to the real meat of this post, his impassioned letter to actor B.J. Novak. Also, ScreenJunkies in no way endorses or agrees with Dave M's point of view.]
Okay, Office Lovers. We learned from this week's episode that Michael, Pam and Ryan have rejoined the Scranton branch of Dunder-Mifflin and it's about time. Splitting the glibness between 2 offices seemed a bit of a challenge for NBC's Office writing staff as the show ventured into more awkward situational humor than actual laughs during the last several Idris Elba-filled episodes…
The comedy continued with a mutiny by DM employees who insisted on being handed their customers back from Pam and Ryan. Dwight, who organized the uprising, was in perfect form as he taunted Jim whilst still managing to lead the rebellion. In rare form however was Creed, who bestowed upon Jim a sage piece of advice exclaiming, sometimes it's better to stay out of things. In the end, all of the DM employees had their former clients back.
But there was a decision to be made. Now that the DM employees had all of their clients back there was only room for one more salesperson. A choice had to be made between Pam and Ryan. To the absolute elation of everyone watching, Pam was picked to stay on in sales. We did not hear from the insipid Ryan as he departed after Michael offered him his old temp job back, though we were not privy to that conversation during the show. May this writer say on a personal note, we hope not to see too much, if any, of him in the future either. As Liz across the pond might say, good riddance to bad rubbish.
Okay, if you love B.J. Novak, you are an idiot. You should also click away. Or not. But here's a letter I've sent to him and his "people" (that's agents, management, etc. and has nothing to do with race, thank you). I've sent this repeatedly. I've faxed, emailed, snail mailed, tweeted and even had a staged reading at a local San Francisco coffee house/theater, but was rudely interrupted by a poetry slam. Maybe you can find a way of getting this to the man whose parents named him after a friendlier colloquialism for dick sucking. Here goes:
(Click to enlarge)
[Editor's Note: Um, again… the views expressed in this post are those solely of Dave M. and not a representation of ScreenJunkies. We were told that we would not get a recap on The Office this week unless we followed it with this letter. There was a knife involved, as well.]
Consider posting a comment.
