ners as they adopted four evidence-based practices (EBPs)
in a community mental health center. In-depth semi-struc-
tured interviews; a measure of EBPs attitudes; and a final
focus-group were used over a 2-year study period to assess
14 mental health practitioners on one immersion team. The
framework for data collection was adapted from organiza-
tional theories that view culture and climate as mediating
factors. Analysis of practitioner themes demonstrated that
there were facilitating and impeding factors in the adoption
process. Practitioners reported positive changes in their
individual competency but two years was inadequate for

Community mental health services ? Practitioner ?
Evidence-based practice ?
Often the delivery of services to persons with serious mental
illness (SMI) in community mental health settings does not
include evidence-based mental health treatments that might
better target clients' symptoms and functional outcomes
(Proctor 2004; Drake et al. 2001; Corrigan et al. 2001). The
recognition of this critical gap between evidence-based
practices (EBPs) and real world delivery of mental health
services has prompted federal mental health agencies
(e.g. National Institutes of Mental Health) and national
professional organizations (e.g. American Psychiatric
Association) to identify ways of minimizing the gap
between ''science and service'', to shorten the purported
20 yearsbeforepersonswith SMIinthe communityare able
to benefit from EBPs (McHugo et al. 2007; APA/CAPP
Task Force 2007; President's New Freedom Commission on
Mental Health 2003; Institute of Medicine 2001).
Given the persistent but unmet needs of persons with
SMI, stakeholder groups of researchers, practitioners and
family members have found themselves lobbying for more
rapid translation of science to service, albeit with limited
success. The National Implementing Evidence-Based
Practices Project took a giant leap forward in this effort and
has produced data about fidelity to EBPs models at com-
munity mental health centers across eight states (McHugo
et al. 2007). We know that mental health practitioners in
direct service play a pivotal role in the timely adoption
and implementation of EBPs; therefore, acquiring a full
understanding of their attitudes toward EBPs is crucial to
reducing the gap between science and service (Aarons
2004; Aarons and Sawitzky 2006). Yet, few studies have
explored practitioners' personal experience with receiving
EBPs training and subsequently providing EBPs services to
the consumer. Developing a better understanding of the
challenges practitioners face in trying to adopt EBPs into
their clinical practice may yield precise knowledge of the
best methods of adapting EBPs into clinical settings as well
as to facilitate the dissemination of more effective treat-
ments into the community (Brekke et al. 2007).

Understanding practitioners' learning and use of EBPs
requires appreciation of practitioner heterogeneity. Front-
line providers usually represent a range of demographic
characteristics, and are typically faced with the struggle of
balancing multiple agency and personal demands, with the
demands of high client caseloads, but are seldom asked to
describe this dilemma. As a group, practitioners have often
been characterized as being resistant to adopting EBPs
as well as stalling the dissemination of new treatment
protocols. Although this representation might be more
speculative than accurate (Mullen et al. 2005), it is certainly
not descriptive of all practitioners.
and climate—can have a profound impact on practitioners
and their attitudes and behaviors toward others (Glisson
and Green 2006). Most frequently, fiscal constraints dictate
that practitioners shoulder enormous case-management
responsibilities, which produce increased pressures to
respond to clients in crisis, and paperwork demands that
impose further constraints on their personal time. Given the
dilemma between the greater availability than use of EBPs
(Proctor 2004; Gonzales et al. 2002) research is needed to
identify aspects of agency culture and climate that can be
used to foster critical agency and practitioner partnerships
that will promote successful EBPs adoption.
Study Aim
The overarching goal of this study was to discover the
complex process of EBPs adoption by examining (a) first-
hand accounts of practitioners' experience of EBPs training
within their agency, and (b) a standardized scale of practi-
tioner attitudes regarding evidence-based practices (Aarons
of this study included the use of a mixed method approach,
and the longitudinal use of qualitative interviews that
EBPs is still in its infancy (Aarons and Sawitzky 2006) the
place at a feverish pace in many states (NY State Office of
borrowing existing models and frameworks that facilitate
the timeliness of investigation without sacrificing rigor
would appear to be good practice (Glisson and James 2002).
Guiding Framework
In this study, five dimensions of examining the individual
withinthe agency culturewere adaptedfroman
organizational rubric, known as the 5Cs, described by
Tropman (1998) in The Management of Ideas in the
Creating Organization. The 5Cs—characteristics, compe-
tencies, conditions, context, and change—pertain to
individual and agency elements and guided the develop-
ment of the interview protocol used in this study.
Characteristics refer to the practitioners' experience,
traits and disposition toward trying something new.
Education, demands outside of work, and length of
employment were some of the target questions.
Competencies refer to skills and styles—both intellec-
tual and interpersonal—which the practitioner needs to
have for the job at hand.
Conditions point to the organizational strategies and
structures needed to carry out the tasks at hand.
Context refers to the structure and beliefs of the agency
about reaching its goals.
Change addresses the desire to improve oneself, one's
competencies, one's agency and the ultimately the
clients who seek services at the agency.
This model advanced the notions of the concept reflec-
tive practitioner (Schon 1983; Senge 2006) and described
individuals who lead learning organizations as idea man-
agers; that is, idea managers first translate agency mandates
into ideas and then into their own performance. Tropman
(1998) asserted that new ideas fail when organizations lack
a commitment from all levels on the 5Cs and individual
practitioners may feel blocked in their ability to carry out an
agency mandate when they have no place to talk about it.
This study explicitly sought out the first person practitioner
response about EBPs adoption in their agency.
Participants and Setting
The study group was composed of 14 practitioners from a
single large mental health agency in western Michigan who
answered an internal request email for learning new mental
health treatments. When practitioners responded with
interest to the agency director and second author (GD) who
was coordinating the project they were briefed about what
it would entail for their workload and other responsibilities.
Those who agreed formed what became known as the
'immersion team' for EBPs training.
The agency provides an array of clinical services to
more than 2200 persons with SMI. These services include
assertive community treatment, co-occurring substance use
treatment, medication management, dialectical behavior
therapy, case management, crisis management, clubhouse,
peer support groups, and family support (Blakely and
348Community Ment Health J (2008) 44:347–357
Page 3
Dziadosz 2007). Community services for persons with SMI
are typically continuous. The mean age of consumers
enrolled in treatment on the immersion team was in the
40s. Half of the clients served by the agency received a
diagnosis of schizophrenia or schizoaffective disorder, and
47% of clients reported co-occurring substance use. Self-
reported ethnic/racial groups are reflective of the general
population of western Michigan with 67% identifying as
white, 25% identifying as African American, 4% identi-
fying as Latino, and 4% as other.
All practitioners in the study group were white, and 11
of 14 were female. The practitioners were evenly divided
in their educational attainment, with 7 practitioners holding
a bachelor's degree and 7 holding a master's degree. At the
outset of the study, both bachelor's and master's level
practitioners were allowed to deliver EBPs; however, near
the completion of data collection Michigan implemented
new clinical licensing requirements that prohibited bache-
lor's level practitioners from delivering most EBPs. With
administrative approval from the agency, practitioners on
the EBPs immersion team reduced their caseloads from an
average of 40 clients to an average of 15 clients. Other
practitioners in the agency absorbed the client overload.
At the time of the first interview, practitioners provided
informed consent as approved through an IRB process with
the Michigan Department of Community Health (DCH).
Follow-up interviews were conducted at 6-month intervals
over the course of the 2-year training. The interview guide
changed slightly as more emphasis rested on the develop-
ment of specific EBPs competencies. Each interview took
approximately 60 min and was conducted by the first author

their regular salary. Interviews were audiotape recorded,
and transcribed by a graduate level student.
EBPs Implementation Model
Four EBPs were chosen for inclusion in the training: (1)
integrated dual disorders treatment (IDDT), (2) cognitive
therapy (CT); (3) dialectical behavior therapy (DBT); and
(4) McFarlane's Multi-Family Therapy. In addition, all
immersion team members received extensive training in
motivational interviewing techniques. These particular
EBPs were selected because they are manualized treatments
with recognized effectiveness for persons with SMI and
received advanced primary source training in some EBPs
(e.g. Beck Institute). These trainings were supplemented
by advanced peer training (in the case of DBT) and visits
from EBPs experts, who were external to the agency and
were familiar with the issues of fidelity in the four EBPs.
EBPs trainings consisted of (a) two days per week of
manualized instruction focused on one specific EBP at a
time; (b) weekly group and individual supervision provided
by senior licensed clinicians in the state of Michigan;
(c) reading manuals and articles; and (d) biweekly EBPs
sessions with clients that were audiotape-recorded and
reviewed by supervisors. The training program was
designed to last 18 months and cover all four EBPs;
however, unforeseen agency disruptions to the training
schedule required modification to a 24-month schedule.
Qualitative Data Collection
A semi-structured interview guide based on the 5Cs was
developed (Gioia 2007). In addition to targeted questions
around the 5Cs, notions such as fear and uncertainty about
EBPs training; concerns regarding agency expectations to
deliver EBPs as experts; anxieties regarding EBPs imple-
mentation; and practitioners' beliefs about client recovery
became important probes during the interview process
(Repper and Perkins 2003).
Grounded theory analysis (Charmaz 2006) was chosen
for this study based on the study's emphasis on under-
standing the EBPs adoption process as reported by the
practitioners rather than providing any explanation for
the phenomenon. Data were transformed into themes by
applying both focused and axial coding processes to the
transcribed interviews by the research team (Charmaz
2006). The axial coding occurred when original coded
themes were sorted, synthesized, and reassembled to pres-
ent new ways of viewing the data categories. In turn these
themes were integrated with some of the broader theoretical
notions about agency functioning and change as described
in the literature (Tropman 1998; Glisson and James 2002).
Coding the data condensed the multiple realities as
expressed by the practitioners into themes related to the
5Cs. These themes were formally checked with participants
during feedback meetings and during the final focus group.
Agreement with the conceptualizations was unanimous by
those in attendance. In addition, the feedback sessions
served to increase the rigor and trustworthiness of the
findings by checking the emerging themes against the
practitioner's experience (Padgett 1998).
Quantitative Data Collection
Each individual interview session ended with completion of
the Evidence-Based Practice Attitudes Scale (EBPAS; Aa-
rons 2004). EBPAS is a 15-item scale that assesses provider
attitudes toward adoption of EBPs in community settings.
Community Ment Health J (2008) 44:347–357 349

Four dimensions emerged during the confirmatory factor
analysis completed by Aarons (2004) which have since
been replicated (Aarons and Sawitzky 2006). Briefly, the
and of the person delivering the training; (b) requirements,
defined as the policies that mandate EBPs adoption;
EBPs; and (d) divergence, which taps into the perceived
the EBPAS were measured on a 5-point Likert scale ranging
from 0 not at all to 4 to a very great extent. For example,
items that reflected openness (subscale 3) included ''I like to
use new types of therapy/intervention to help my clients.''
Data Analysis
It became clear in the analysis that there were facilitating
and impeding issues to EBPs adoption for practitioners and
this became the dichotomous lens to display the findings.
Table 3 summarizes practitioner themes which had the
most density in the individual interviews and which reso-
nated in the discussions with the practitioners subsequent
to the data collection. Representative practitioner quotes
have been included to illustrate the most cogent aspects of
these facilitative or impeding factors in EBPs adoption and
are displayed here over the timeline of data collection to
illustrate in particular the practitioner change and compe-
tency development.
Initial Interview
Personal Characteristics
The initial interview was unique for collecting extensive
data on individual practitioner characteristics which gave
shape to the practitioner heterogeneity issue and allowed
for a finer contextualization of themes that emerged. This
provided the interviewer with a chance to build rapport and
define the purpose of the study. The mental health practi-
tioners reported exposure to EBPs ranging from some
training to no exposure. Regardless of prior exposure, all
practitioners expressed fear and uncertainty about EBPs
adoption—making this a prominent impeding theme.
However, EBPs training was perceived by the immersion
team as both a unifying task and an equalizer for the
team—a facilitating condition.
Agency Conditions
As EBPs training began, agency conditions were identified
that were both facilitative and impeding to the immersion.
Although the agency mandated that immersion team
members would have the benefit of significantly reduced
caseloads, the practitioners reported that making the deci-
sions regarding how to reduce their client list was
extremely stressful. Moreover, it appears reassigning cli-
ents to other practitioners contributed to the anxiety that
characterized this phase. However, practitioner anxiety was
somewhat moderated by the agency support given the
EBPs immersion as well as team building efforts provided
as a part of the biweekly EBPs trainings. Practitioner
comments in response to the immersion included:
[I'm] getting acclimated to my new team and sur-
roundings and things like that, and developing a
rapport with them. I mean, I know most of them
already, but some of them are fairly new to the
agency and I haven't really gotten to know them yet.
[The main thing about the team is] just feeling safe,
that you can give input, and not feel like the ham-
mer's going to come down on you...
(Male practitioner, BA level)
Personal Competency
Participants were asked to articulate their opinions of what
they did well or what skill others in the agency perceived as
their strength pre-EBPs. Information gathered from this
line of inquiry was treated as a form of understanding
competency development. At this early point several of the
practitioners were considered DBT experts due to prior
training and experience on the agency DBT team, the
remainder had no exposure to EBPs. Practitioner comments
included the following.
People say I'm organized—that when I see a task that
needs to be done, I can, in my mind, develop the steps
towards what needs to be done, and follow through
with that. (Female practitioner, BA level)
Agency Context
Practitioners' perception of the agency seemed to vary in
direct relation to the length of their tenure. Those who were
newer additions to the staff tended to view the agency as a
good learning environment and new projects—like EBPs
adoption—were viewed favorably. However, those with
more seniority tended to report feeling somewhat suspicious
that negative agency decisions would prevail once the EBPs
project was initiated. The following comment by one par-
ticipant summarized the opinions of many agency veterans
regarding their hesitancy to commit to a new project.
I feel like, sometimes when changes happen, I don't
feel like we're listened [to] as well as we could be.
350 Community Ment Health J (2008) 44:347–357
Page 5
We're the hands-on, direct people, and I feel at times
we could be more involved…I don't mind change,
it's sometimes the approach that we've taken to do it,
and then it fails, and they're like, well, why? And
somehow, sometimes, it's been well, you didn't try to
make it work, …we tried to make it work, we tried to
bring up these things that we already could see,
because we're the ones doing it every day. I think
sometimes, that's not heard, and that gets frustrat-
ing.'' (Female practitioner, BA level)
Change (The Practitioner's View of Change Within the
Each interview included a specific question regarding what
steps the practitioner would have to take to ensure that the
proposed agency change (adoption of EBPs) would be
implemented. This was a difficult question in this first
interview because of the level of unknowns in the project;
however, most practitioner comments reflected a positive
sense of self-efficacy (that they would be up to the chal-
lenges despite fear). The following practitioner comment
was typical of the strong language employed to describe
commitment, dedication, and ability to maintain a balanced
My own belief is…how great of a thing this is that
we're doing. And yes, there will be some problems—
and some people handle change really well, and some
people don't—but to…not focus on what's happen-
ing, but on the ultimate goal, not worry about what's
happening today, because it'll get ironed out, it'll be
okay, and everything will be cool, but to keep
focused on what this ultimate goal is. I believe in it, I
really do believe in this. (Male practitioner, MSW,
prior EBPs training)
Six Month Interview
The original training schedule had proposed initial training
in cognitive therapy (CT) with a strict schedule of clinical
supervision. Clinical supervision was modeled after train-
ing at the Beck Institute, as received by senior clinician/
supervisors. However, initial practitioner anxiety remained
too high to begin CT training. In the early trainings prac-
titioners stated that, ''they didn't get it'' and were
frustrated. Consequently, the agency administration chose
to delay CT training in favor of undertaking motivational
interviewing (MI) that was a requisite component of IDDT.
The agency flexibility in switching training modules
became a serendipitous boost to practitioner self-efficacy.
Practitioners reported that they felt listened to by agency
administration, and consequently were able to remediate
aspects of their own ambivalence about the EBPs training.
Overall, MI training appeared to yield a positive attitudinal
adjustment that was a precursor to facilitating smoother
adoption of subsequent EBPs.
Personal Characteristics
No changes in personal characteristics were noted at six
months and there were no practitioner dropouts.
Competencies, Conditions, and Change
The three dimensions of competencies, conditions, and
change were combined here because of how the dimen-
sions became intertwined in the interviews. The following
participant comment summarized the thoughts of many
practitioners on the EBPs immersion team after receiving
6 months of training in MI.
I look at the whole situation differently. Starting at
social roles, looking at the person (client) in that
context, what they want to be and achieve, and what
is deterring that, what barriers, behaviors are getting
in the way. Right from that, it gives me a clearer
picture. With motivational interviewing, it gives me
more of where people are at and the change they want
to make and maybe why they're not changing.
(Female, BA level)
A key element included in the training program, and one
that was an innovation to the agency, included bringing in
outside practitioners with expertise in a specific EBPs. The
outside experts demonstrated the use of the EBPs and
shared their practice enthusiasm. It is noteworthy that the
MI expert was brought in after substantial training had
occurred; therefore, the team felt empowered by their
knowledge and were able to rate their own practice as
closer to ''expert'' than they had originally thought. At this
phase of EBPs adoption, one interview question sought to
determine proficiency in an EBPs by asking participants,
''Would you list MI as a skill on your resume?'' The
following is a response typical of most practitioners.
In terms of motivational interviewing, I'm feeling
fairly confident in my skills and abilities. I think
we've had the luxury to really soak in the concepts
and themes so they've really been able to cement
themselves. In February, some of us went to Maine. I
was one of those. Just a great experience! Seeing our
leadership being excited about it and being able to go.
The speaker was great and it helped to have that
foundation before going. Processing whether this was
something I wanted to grab a hold of, whether this
was going to work. (Female, BSW)

Information Technology (IT) enables exciting new approaches to undergraduate science, mathematics, engineering, and technology (SME&T) education. Cognitive research has begun to illuminate how students learn (National Research Council [NRC], 1999a) providing a basis for design of more effective learning environments and teaching practices (NRC, 1999b). At the same time, personal computers with Internet access, as well as other IT tools, are becoming ubiquitous on many college and university campuses (Web-Based Education Commission, 2000). Encouraged by these developments, small but growing numbers of faculty are transforming traditional SME&T lectures and laboratories into more active learning environments that hold the promise of enhancing undergraduate learning.
Scientists, policy makers, and researchers discussed these developments at a workshop, held at the National Academy of Sciences in June 2000. Presenters described innovative undergraduate courses in a range of SME&T disciplines. Using IT, these courses have been transformed in ways that appear to enhance learning for a diverse spectrum of undergraduate students. However, workshop participants noted that the full educational potential of IT has not yet been realized. Several factors, including the difficulty of assessing student learning in technology-rich environments, the state of current technology, and cultural and institutional factors could pose barriers to rapid deployment of technology in SME&T classrooms.
The breathtaking pace of change in IT makes it virtually impossible to accurately predict its future impact on teaching and learning in undergraduate SME&T education. Nevertheless, many workshop participants felt that it was not only possible, but also essential, to begin planning for what the future might hold. Some presenters identified steps that could be taken to speed development of the educational potential of
IT and support a promising future for SME&T education.
This workshop evolved from a planning process begun in early 2000, when the National Academies created a new Center for Education (CFE). The new Center includes the Academies' Center for Science, Mathematics, and Engineering Education (CSMEE), Board on Testing and Assessment, and Board on International Comparative Studies in Education. To define directions and priorities for future studies, CFE established a Strategic Planning Advisory Group. This advisory group gave high priority to the Center's undertaking studies of the impact of IT in education. As the first step toward such studies, the CFE convened a planning group to develop a workshop on the role of IT in undergraduate SME&T education.
The goal of the workshop was to inform the Strategic Planning Advisory Group, workshop participants, and the public about some issues surrounding the use of IT in education. To reach this goal, the planning group invited workshop presenters to pay particular attention to the following issues:
What educational technologies currently exist, and how they are being used to transform undergraduate SME&T education;
What is known about the potential future impact of information technology on teaching and learning at the undergraduate level;
How to evaluate the impact of IT on teaching and learning; and
What the future might hold.
The planning group identified topics and speakers for the workshop, and developed the agenda, but did not participate in writing this summary. Both the agenda and this summary build on earlier research into the role of IT in pedagogy and learning, produced by CSMEE's Committee on Information Technology. That committee analyzed and synthesized research about the ability of IT to enable new educational approaches, and identified many examples of such approaches. This synthesis of earlier research was sent to all workshop participants as background reading, providing a broader context for the presentations at the workshop, which focused on a few selected case studies. It is included in this workshop summary as Appendix A.

One Big reason for choosing this hotel is the omelett man. His service is outstanding and is worth it all. Embassy should build on his attitude while traning new staff members. Make him VP of human resources!
The hotel is ok and now have some years, and could consider a refresh. I have some 10 years experience of staying there, so I guess I should know. People at the reception need to be more friendly and could learn from the omelett man.

If the thought of sitting in synagogue for hours on end this New Year leaves you cold, take inspiration from others who are searching for a spiritual experience in the days ahead.
Some are finding ways to connect with the synagogue service, while others are abandoning the traditional place of worship altogether to pray in alternative groups.
Indeed, many Jews in this country are looking for more than just an excuse to get together with the family and indulge in honey cake over the chagim.
● Ariel Friedlander, 45, grew up in Wembley and west London, where her father Rabbi Albert Friedlander was rabbi at Westminster Synagogue. She used to work as a sports photographer before training to be a rabbi at the Hebrew Union College in New York. She has since worked in Toronto, Virginia and New York.
For most Israelis, and even more so for its politicians, it is axiomatic that the prime source for Israel's existence in the land is the Bible. At a recent talk at Bar-Ilan University, for example, Prime Minister Benyamin Netanyahu observed: "The connection between the Jewish people and the Land of Israel has lasted for more than 3,500 years. Judea and Samaria –– the places where Abraham and Isaac and Jacob, David and Solomon, and Isaiah and Jeremiah lived –– are not alien to us. This is the land of our forefathers."
"You shall not see your brother's ox or his
sheep go astray… You shall surely return
them to your brother"
Deuteronomy 22:1
Many years ago, while living in Cardiff, I met a young man called David L Marks. We shared a common interest in classic cars, in particular Jaguars. David has a hobby — collecting old clocks and watches. One day he phoned me as he had seen a pilot's watch on eBay he wished to buy, which had reputedly been worn by a pilot during the Six-Day War in 1967.
In his typically forthright way, Gerald Ronson, the president of the new Jewish Community Secondary School, explained the reason behind its opening next year: "It is important that in our community we do have a first-class faith school which will take on board non-halachic, together with halachic, children," he said in a YouTube interview, adding: "It's not me that makes the issue of whether you are halachic, non-halachic… You want to go to a Jewish school? You should be able to go to a Jewish school."
The Jewish educational establishment in this country has been gripped by alarm since the seminal JFS ruling last month. The Court of Appeal determined that it is unlawful for Jewish schools to admit pupils on the basis of a parent's Jewish status. Much has been written about the practical administrative ramifications of this ruling as well as its wider social repercussions. What so far has been missing from this wide debate is theology, the religious rationale for retaining the original entry policy.
When President Obama spoke in Cairo last month, impressive as his speech was, it betrayed an ignorance of Jewish history. The implication that the justification for a Jewish state was the result of the atrocities that the Germans and their European allies inflicted on the Jews, flies in the face of 2,000 years of history. It might have been a justification in non-Jewish minds, but never in ours.
There is something wrong with the state of Judaism in this country.
The world exists because of the breath of children studying Torah, proclaims the Talmud. How, then, have we turned education into an instrument of exclusion? No one should have to go to law to seek the right to gain a Jewish education for a Jewish child at a state-funded Jewish school.
L'Chaim!" Reb Mimi Feigelson raises her glass of water for the umpteenth time and takes a sip. Fighting off a cold, she has sustained her voice for well over an hour, leading a late-night session on Reb Levi Yitzchak of Berdichev, the Chasidic master, at the Limmud conference.
When you have eaten and are satisfied, then you shall praise the Eternal One, your God, for the good land you have been given" (Deuteronomy 8:10). This is the biblical instruction on which is based the obligation to give thanks after a meal.
Jewish tradition has developed numerous variations on the blessings to be said, based on the type of food eaten, the number of people who have eaten it and the context in which it has been eaten. That same tradition even ascribes authorship of the different blessings to Moses, Joshua, David, Solomon and Rabban Gamliel.

Johns Hopkins swept the meet, winning both the men's and women's titles with 18 and 15 points, respectively.
Veteran experience led the women to their top-five finish, paced by senior Anna Bosse, who came in 10th in 22.19.13. Erica Canas (13th, 23:10.21) and Kelly Maguire (23:19.83) finished less than 10 seconds apart, followed by sophomore Sarah Askine at 23:51.67 to place 22nd. The freshmen duo of Julianne Groshon (26th, 24:17.52) and Megan Ritz (31st, 24:38.81) rounded out the Greyhounds' 64-point scoring total.
Daniella Joyce (39th, 25:28.94), Kendyl Fahmy (42nd, 25:39.06), Olivia Sbrocco (45th, 25:47.47), Caitlyn McGuinness (49th, 26:12.63), Mary DeGregorio (53rd, 26:21.43), Amanda Spaeth (57th, 26:33.22), Kellyanne Bondulich (67th, 27:07.15) and Emily Richards (77th, 29:41.57) also competed in the season opener.
"I'm pretty happy with both teams' outcomes," Head Coach Rick Woods said. "Both races were very close and we needed only a few more points to move up in the standings. I'm thrilled that Anna could medal in today's race, and the men made big improvements from last year."
Kevin Montgomery led the men's squad, coming in 28th in 27:07.48, while Chris Regan (35th, 27:42.11) and Alex Saffadi (39th, 27:51.72) followed in next for the Greyhounds. Brad Beard (49th, 28:16.24), Michael Michon (28:28.55) and John Miller (58th, 28:36.30) contributed points to the team total of 159.
Chris O'Brien (63rd, 28:50.29), Tom Porth (71st, 29:48.61), Michael O'Donnell (74th, 29:56.43), Sean Brennan (76th, 30:25.89) and Brandon Lim (78th, 30:53.23) also competed in Saturday's race in Salisbury.

He says "Don't stop"... so she stops. lol Also, it's spelled "Goatee", not "Gotee". Aside from that, good cumshot and she has a great body (though we didn't get to see much of it other than as she walked away).

AnaCap Financial Partners, a specialist European financial services private equity firm, has promoted Justin Sulger and Fabrizio Cesario to partner.
Sulger, head of credit opportunities, joined AnaCap shortly after it was founded in 2006 as part of the business services team. Prior to joining AnaCap, Sulger was a vice president in Morgan Stanley's securitized products group in London, focused on debt structuring and principal finance. He began his career in fixed income at Goldman Sachs in New York, before relocating to London. He has also served as a managing director of Lunar Group, a venture capital investor in China.
Cesario, who leads mergers & acquisitions, joined the firm in May 2010, bringing more than 18 years of experience advising leading European financial institutions and executing M&A transactions on both the buy and sell side. Before joining AnaCap, he was managing director in the financial institutions group at Lazard, having previously held a senior role in the financialinstitutions group at Lehman Brothers. He began his career at Rothschild Italia.
Based in London and investing across Europe, AnaCap (from "Analytical Capital") advises funds with more than €1.5 billion under management across two private equity and two credit opportunities vehicles, as well as co-invest.

Which sex is the worst about washing up? Why is it so important? We've got the dirty truth on how and when to wash your hands.
Proper footwear can help reduce the risk of bunions.
- Wear roomy shoes that have wide and deep toe boxes (the area that surrounds the toes), low or flat heels, and good arch supports. Avoid tight, narrow, or high-heeled shoes that put pressure on the big toe joint.
Preventing too much rolling inward of the foot (excessive pronation ) during walking or running may help prevent bunions. Excessive foot pronation has been linked to bunion formation. You may be able to prevent excessive pronation by wearing supportive shoes or using arch supports. If you still have excessive pronation, your doctor may suggest that you have custom orthotic shoe inserts made for you.

As big names crowd into smaller classrooms via MOOCs, professors begin to wonder if their own teaching is at risk.
Alejandro Tortolini's insight:
Preocupación docente por el avance delos MOOCs: se los teme como competencia.
My childhood was influenced in some measure by two great icons that no longer exist. The first was Kodak – I adored my Box Brownie and I still have the wonderful grainy black and white pics. The second great icon was larger than Kodak: it was a stack of books known as Encyclopaedia Britannica.
The childhood I experienced was not unusual. For baby boomers, Kodak was our memory collector of choice and Encyclopaedia Britannica the Google of its day. But neither has survived the remorseless advance of the digital economy.
The invention of the internet, the inevitable convergence to a mobile phone or tablet, and the discovery of how to monetise a digital transaction have been death blows to these two icons and to so many others we can all name. And this transformation is far from finished.
Over the last few months most of us who work in higher education, as well as those who watch and comment on what we do have been fascinated by a singular topic: the MOOC.
This abbreviation – for Massive Open Online Course – is a term likely to enter into our common vernacular. A MOOC is a course or unit accessible, usually with no prerequisites, to anyone who wishes to enrol, usually for free, and with self-assessment or peer assessment along the way. Many now are being offered by household name universities who may not give you credit towards a degree, but will often award certificates of participation, or even a grade.
Most MOOCs are now delivered by acknowledged experts and outstanding teachers. They are very new, and no-one yet knows what they will mean or what role they will play. But many already believe that Pandora's box has been opened.
SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — When the Massachusetts Institute of Technology offered its first free online course this spring, Ashwith Rego jumped at the chance to learn from some of the world's leading researchers — without leaving his home in India.

Welcome to WebmasterWorld Guest from 18.104.22.168
Forum Moderators: incrediBILL
I am working on a project with a menu across the top which i am doing in javascript.
The menu is quite large and so doing it in a frame is not deiserable as the frame would take up half the screen, and we do not want to have to scroll the frame to see the menu. So frames are out.
BUT, the problem i have now is that it looks like i have to include (and modify) the code for each page of the document. There are over 200 pages in multiple nested folders which means a TON of work and testing.
Is there a way to not use frames and not to have to code every page independantly?
Some sort of frame that contains the code, but can overlap the frame below so i can keep it small?
*If its javascript you can write one .js file including the code then use <script src="whatever.js> on each page.
*If you can you could use server side includes to include a file containing the menu on each page.
Both would mean you only have one menu to update no matter how many pages you have.

ANNAPOLIS, Md. -- Greetings from Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium. This really is a pretty cool venue, and would recommend it to anyone thinking about a quick college football road trip in the near future.
We're just over 90 minutes away from kickoff here, at 1 p.m. on CBS Sports Network. Here are a couple of notes to get you started.
- Here's a link to my preview story from today's P-G, which would of course be incomplete without some sort of nautical pun in the headline.
- As announced earlier in the week, left guard Cory King and defensive end Ejuan Price are not available for the Panthers today. On the offensive line, Ryan Schlieper will take King's starting spot, and Shane Johnson is available as a backup option again this week. Dorian Johnson has also been training at guard over the past few weeks, so he could be an emergency option there as well.
At defensive end, I would probably just expect a heavier mix of Bryan Murphy (who played very well last week) and David Durham. Defensive ends coach John Palermo said last week that Durham was a slightly more physical player than Price, so he would probably have seen a little more action this week anyways. Nonetheless, losing Price, a guy who has been coming on in recent weeks, still hurts.
- This week, even more than others, it will be important for Pitt to get off to a quick start. Last week, they could afford to fall behind Old Dominion 10-0 because the way ODU plays, both teams were still going to get plenty of possessions. If Navy jumps out to a quick start, they can use that triple-option to just bleed the clock and not give Pitt many chances to catch up. A first quarter deficit would be a cause for concern this week.
There you have it. Kickoff is at 1 p.m. on CBS Sports Network, and make sure to follow me on Twitter @SWernerPG for the latest during and after the game.

Favorite Movie: the one with that guy
Originally Posted by

... maybe Crysis (on Xbox Live for download) and Crysis 2 (now $29.99 or less at most retailers)? The Crysis games, like the original Halo, have quite wide and open battlefields in where you can approach and attack enemies in a number of ways. You can proceed with stealth or go into hot areas guns blazing. You can maneuver across the terrain in a number of vehicles or go in by foot. And the graphics and environment are quite lush and beautiful. It's very much a pick up and play type of game. Only negative is that the storyline bridging Crysis 1 and 2 is a bit messy and confusing. But the campaigns last a good 10-12 hours a piece, which is nice for a modern shooter since the standard seems to be 4-5 hours for most games. Another cool thing-especially true with Crysis 2, is that there's never a cutscene in which you won't be in control of your characters movements (although I think Crysis 1 has a few slightly scripted cutscenes where your head is directed on a specific
location or person).
Also, Deus Ex: Human Revolution is a fantastic sci-fi RPG that allows you a lot of room to get creative as well when it comes down to the gameplay. You don't need to spend hours playing this one at a time either. You can just pick it up for thiry minutes and play a mission or two, in the fashion that you want to, proceed a little bit in the story and then put it down for later.
I loved all of the games you mentioned. Deus Ex: Human Revolution is fucking terrific, and has a bomb-ass soundtrack.

I was concerned when reading the reviews that the hotel would not be nice, but it was clean and satisfactory for us. If you are going to utilize the complimentary breakfast items you do need to go very early to avoid lines. We liked having the boiled eggs and the yogurt, that was all we needed, but it would have been nice to have more cereal choices. The outside pool was nice and it was warm. Inside pool was very crowded our last night there because it was raining. We noticed that some people were letting "friends" in thru the outside doors so they could use the pool- these people were clearly not guests- they were fully clothed and stripping at poolside. Pretty tacky. We requested the 3rd floor so as to avoid the "kids running thru the halls" noise; very glad we did as the place was full of families with kids (which we expected). Staff was friendly when we needed them. Wifi was so slow- had to call front desk each night and they said they would "re-boot" the system, which they did, but it was annoying and took too much time.
- Official Description (provided by the hotel):
- Nestled in the heart of Wisconsin's largest resort area, the BEST WESTERN Ambassador Inn & Suites offers an idyllic getaway for business or pleasure.

'the 5103 stayed fairly cool during use, though we noted that the areas around the vent and on the bottom right got a bit hot with the system in our lap.'
'Keyboard is now 93% of full size'

'bright 13.3-inch display'
'reasonably crisp 13.3-inch backlit LED screen'
'Excellent battery life.'
'Large, Spacious Keyboard'
'The buttons are satisfying, too, and the firm, solid keys give a little as you push down; the experience is, again, reminiscent of what you have on the S10.'
'keys are nicely spaced, so you can type accurately, but they have a loose, imprecise feel by comparison to many other laptops (including some from Toshiba). '
'Just as impressive, the R700 lasts 6 hours on a charge.'
'gigantic touchpad'
'Excellent Range Of Peripheral Ports.'
'The flat, wide keyboard, similar to what we saw on the Eee PC 1008HA, is among the better Netbook keyboards we've used, and the full-size right Shift key is one of those things you don't realize is very important until it goes missing.'
'There's good battery life'
'bright 10-inch screen'
'Very Long Battery Life.'
'bright screen'
'The Samsung N220 features an unusual glossy sea green colour lid; we think it achieves a nice balance between work and play. '
'The screen is bright and colourful, though it's not exactly in a class of its own.'
'Unfortunately so are the low contrast ratios; we measured 251:1, along with an average overall brightness of 226.6 cd/m². '

I love Iris and Luna. I like Aurora, Isadora, Wilhelmina and Cleo (spelled with the e).
I am not a fan of Amabel, Pandora (can't get the box of troubles out of my mind), Isolde (I just see "I sold"), Isabeau, Delphine, or Eulalie. Ursula reminds me of the evil creature in Little Mermaid.
