Partnership for Public Service recommends retention techniques
With federal employees under a two-year pay freeze and some House members proposing a moratorium on hiring new federal employees, agencies must focus on developing retention strategies or they might be short staffed, according to a Partnership for Public Service report released today.
The report calls for agencies to use technology, such as internal social networks, to encourage cross-agency networking and communication about mission-related projects, among several other recommendations.
"For some young employees, this kind of access and sharing is an important aspect of the environment they favor and seek," the report states.

Workforce cuts might be inevitable
Federal employees could face unpaid leave in 2012
The report's authors conducted focus groups and surveyed representatives from more than 20 agencies to understand current retention problems.
The partnership found that overall attrition rates vary among agencies and identified three categories of employees who represent attrition risks, including those who are new to their agencies, those eligible to retire in one to five years and those classified as having mission-critical jobs.
When employees leave an agency, their co-workers are often demoralized and federal managers must scramble to reorganize existing work, according to the report.
The report emphasizes the current situation federal employees face – a pay freeze and a potential halt in hiring – and urges federal agencies to understand who is leaving their agencies and pinpoint contributing factors in the work environment.
If an agency fails to implement retention strategies, it could be short-staffed and unable to meet its goals, the partnership said.
"A pay and hiring freeze could create conditions that may prompt some employees to seek other opportunities or cause eligible workers to retire sooner than anticipated," the report states. "Agencies could certainly find themselves short-staffed and unable to fill key positions if a hiring freeze is enacted."
The organization said agencies can retain employees by outlining elements of the work environment that are important to employees, such as teamwork, leadership and supervision, performance management, training and development, and a work/life balance, among other factors.
"In general, employees want to be recognized for their work, use their talents, have an impact, feel empowered, receive support and have opportunities for growth," the report states. "They want to have good relationships with their supervisors and colleagues, as well as a sense of teamwork and shared mission."
Focus-group respondents also indicated that an employee's experience the first few weeks of a job is particularly significant, and so is a family-friendly work environment and fair compensation.
The study highlighted retention efforts by the Government Accountability Office and the Transportation Security Administration. For example, TSA has increased retention by providing supervisory training, adding new bands and making available realistic job previews.
The report said using realistic job previews means ensuring applicants understand what a job entails and whether they are a good fit.
The partnership recommended agencies use those previews and periodic surveys to gain insight into the way different employees feel about agency operations and leadership, and strengthen the assessment process for evaluating and selecting new employees.
Agencies should also establish mentoring programs, provide leadership training, operate a robust internship program and offer flexible work schedules, the report suggests.
"Agencies that focus on meaningful performance, productivity and positive working conditions are increasingly seen as being a 'best place to work' or an employer of choice," the report states.
Beyond recommending specific retention strategies, the partnership advised agencies on ways to determine what strategies would be the most effective. These steps include analyzing attrition rates, reviewing current retention techniques, identifying and implementing new retention strategies, and evaluating results to improve programs and achieve agency goals.

My wife is a gov't employee and she makes 36k a year. It has taken her almost 13 years to get there and almost 1/3 of that goes to pay insurance premiums for a family of four. I can see not getting a pay raise, but how does preventing her from having a cost of living increase put a dent in the budget. Is inflation going down. Why doesn't this effect congress, federal court employees, and gov't contractors.
I see no risk of people not applying for federal jobs, even if pay is frozen or cut and retirement benefits are severely curtailed. Comments like the one about "an employee walkaway" show that federal workers live in la-la land. I know people who are supporting a wife and 3 kids on $50,000 a year or less in the DC area, with no annual or sick leave, no health insurance, no job security at all, and an constant threat of being fired if they take 1 day off to take care of a sick child. Stop whining, feds. It's time you realized what a privileged position you have in a society that is maltreating its middle class. Actually, there is no reason federal workers should receive special treatment, is there????
I am sitting here reading through the article wondering if there any top IT jobs out in the civilian sector. I look to the right and there are five high paying jobs listed and tell myself. I wonder if its time to go??? Our leaders should realize that its not all bad out there for some career fields and if the don't watch it the talented IT people will walk.
If the purpose of a two-year pay freeze and a moratorium on hiring new federal employees is to reduce the federal budget deficit, why is the federal government worried about employees leaving. Wouldn't that reduce the federal budget deficit even more? Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
The only retention strategy that works for me is an annual pay raise! I'm retiring.

Betio Transportation
Cargo ship
The only way (in 2001) to get to Tarawa other than by plane from Fiji or Nauru, is by cargo vessels from Australia, The Gilberts or the Line Islands.
There are also boats to and from other islands in the Gilberts. Be there early, be prepared to wait a LONG time, and be sure you have enough drinking water. There are no facilities in the harbour area.Related to:

Bus trip on the reef
The bus trip from Bairiki is quite spectacular! On some places the atoll is so narrow that it is literally only a reef with a road on top. Some of the buses do a round trip in Betio, which is a cheap and effective way of seeing the town. But be aware that not all the buses going through Bairiki go all the way to Betio, ask the driver or the ticket seller.Related to:

As previously described, no overall difference was seen at 180 days between placebo and SB-509-treated subjects in the SB-509-601 study in the following measures of nerve health and function: Abbreviated Neuropathy Impairment Score in the Lower Limbs (A-NIS-LL), Nerve Conduction Velocity (NCV), and Quantitative Sensory Testing (QST). However, analysis of the data demonstrated that subjects entering the SB-509-601 trial had significantly milder DN by all of these measures than subjects in either the prior Phase 1 SB-509-401 study in a mild to moderate population or a second Phase 2 SB-509-701 study in a more severe population (p value=0.0001). When the effect of baseline severity of DN as determined by IENFD was analyzed, a statistically significant and clinically relevant improvement in IENFD was observed in subjects with more severe DN (i.e. fewer nerve fibers per mm). Thus subjects with lower baseline IENFD demonstrated a greater response to SB-509 treatment by this measure.
When other clinical responses to SB-509 compared to placebo were analyzed in subjects with more severe disease (baseline IENFD below 9 fibers per mm) improvements in NIS-LL and sural NCV were observed to be clinically relevant and durable. Furthermore, in this group, when the muscle component of the NIS-LL was specifically analyzed, treatment dependent muscle strength improvements were evident in SB-509-treated compared with placebo-treated subjects. When multiple baseline measures of disease severity were considered (IENFD, ICAM-1, NCV and NIS-LL), a drug responder population was identified that demonstrated a clinically relevant change in N

Twenty-one-year-old Christopher Andrade of San Antonio wants to turn his life around, but he was automatically disqualified from the Army because of a tattoo.
You may have seen someone with a semicolon tattooed or just drawn on their wrist. There's actually a heartfelt and powerful purpose behind the act.
I played Pokemon back in the day, I don't remember anything resembling this terrible monstrosity.
As normal as tattoos have become, ink on the face and head still remains as somewhat of a social taboo.
Admit it, a few weeks ago, this guy was looking like he was a damn time traveler.
Kids dream of being all sorts of impossible things when they're little. Well this girl never gave up on her dream of being a tiger, and now she's as close as she can get to being one.
Quick everyone go put your life savings on the Cowboys to win the Super Bowl because this guy can predict the future.
Tattoos seem to be growing in popularity, so can these permanent pieces of body art hinder your chances of landing work?
I am sure some of you thought I would back out of Tat a Mav on Stryker if the My Little Pony logo won. Hell no, I let the BuzzHeads pick it out and you can see how it looks in the video above.
I am taking my Dallas Mavericks fandom to another level by letting you pick which tattoo I will be getting permanently on my body.
I love tattoos and I don't think I could ever get my head tattooed. Well Kelly Osbourne has more guts than me and got some interesting ink this weekend.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Nicksmith from Looks and Works Excellently I bought this for my 65 Mustang with a C4 transmission. It works as stated and is great performance feature. It also looks great under the hood.
Date published: 2015-01-08
Product Questions
Does the installation of the Lokar kickdown kit on a 65 with a C-4 also require the installation of their cable throttle? Can the stock Mustang throttle linkage be retained?
This is a standalone installation. You don't need any other parts to make this work.
Date published: 2015-08-17
Will this replace kick down rod on 69 302 c4 trans.
Yes, you're good.
Date published: 2015-08-13
When I bought my 66 mustang I didn't know the Kickdown rod wasn't connected. is there more parts for me to buy for the Kickdown to work than just the Lokar c4 kickdown cable?
Without knowing your Mustang, it's hard to say. This could be all you need, but if there's more disconnected, you could need more parts to get back working again.

The refugee issue here in Australia is a highly emotionally charged one. So much so that both major political parties pander to the public's xenophobia and racism rather than meet their international legal obligations. While Australia likes to present itself as an easy-going multi-racial society it is reality far from it. The country has an appalling record when it comes to institutional racism. Our country still sees the aboriginal peoples as second class citizens, and although under Prime Minister Kevin Rudd the government issued an apology for past wrongs still effectively has a defacto form of apartheid that keeps aboriginal people in crushing poverty that directly reduces their life expectancy and sees them in virtual continual conflict with the legal system. Many Australians would emphatically deny this and say that using names like boong, nigger, blacks and gins are just good-natured fun. In fact our new government led by Prime Minister Tony Abbott is in the process of altering ...

Apologies to the late, great JJ Cale, who wrote the absolutely sublime song "After Midnight", but I have been prowling around after dark with my camera and tripod. Every summer I do this because endless blue skies and fields of sun bleached wheat stubble do not make for very interesting photographs. Shooting at night can make the mundane look strangely beautiful and ethereal. Most of the time the images are straight, i.e. I just set the camera up on my tripod and make an exposure, like the two images above. Sometimes I like to play a little with light painting and flash to make something a little more out there. What makes this fun is that it is experimental, you're never completely sure how the image is going to turn out. Also with exposures knocking around 30 to 240 seconds it is a slow process and that makes it a more thoughtful exercise as it is not just a case of blazing away and hoping. I find because it can take up to twenty minutes making test exposures and then the final image ...

Esperance is a medium sized Aussie country town and is blessed with 16 beaches that are picture perfect and excellent for all manner of beach pursuits and are widely reputed to be the best in Australia. All but one of them are dog friendly. It is quite an isolated place and it is therefore very likely that you'll able to get a beach to yourself. We didn't go for the beaches but for Cape Le Grand National Park.
A bit of history about the area. Twenty thousand years ago the indigenous people of the south west of what is now Western Australia, the Wudjari group of the Nyoongar, inhabited the land they called "Kepakurl" or the place where the sea lies like a boomerang. It was a region blessed with a good climate, plenty of water and an abundance of wildlife and consequently they did not feel the need to roam very far. In 1627 a Dutch ship, the Gulden Zeepaerdt, captained by François Thijssen, sailed through the islands off the coast and so began the colonial era. In 1792 the next European ...

For a while I had to commute to Perth from York. I did the first bit, York to Midland by car and then I did Midland to Perth by train. I discovered that I HATE commuting. It is soooo tedious. Then after a couple of weeks I get a new camera and just to test it I took a photo while on the train just to test it out more than anything else. When I eventually looked at it on my monitor an idea began to form in my head for a project. A couple more weeks later I discovered the video function on the camera and then I thought the project should be multi-media one made up of stills, video footage and audio recordings from my train commute. The result is TransPerth-Transhumance.
Transhumance is traditionally the movement of livestock from summer to winter pasture. Today most people are divorced from the need to earn a subsistence income from herding animals. In this post industrial society people now travel from their place of abode to their place of work. Everyday TransPerth, the public transpo ...

Nemesis is an autobiographical narrative about how an accident causes change. It explores the loss of innocence and the struggle to come to terms with life in an altered physical and emotional state and how with perseverance and persistence it is possible to over come those circumstances.
The story is told over a series of ten monochrome photos which combine text and imagery. The title for the story and the captions, came from actual conversations with people as I went through this experience.
While the telling of this story has been cathartic it has not provided instantaneous emotional relief and self awareness. In the same way a pebble when dropped into a pond causes ripples that slowly spread and then dissipate, the accident and its consequences have played out over a long period of time. I count myself lucky, many are not so fortunate.

The idea for a rodeo project arose from a wider study of rural Australia. The majority of Australians live a very suburban existence in close proxity to the coast. The real rural Australia is somewhat akin to another country – a very different experience all together. As the project gained momentum I found myself drawn to the rodeo. Initially it was the sheer spectacle of it, then the physicality – the animals are vetrans of the rodeo circuit and some of them have developed very clear stragegies for dismounting the riders. Finally it was the whole concept of capturing motion and movement – before the photographic studies of Eadweard Muybridge no one seemed to understand how humans and animals really moved. The work should be seen in this context as well as being documentary in nature.

Three quarters of men are uncertain of the signs of prostate cancer, according to a new survey.
Male cancer charity Everyman found that just one in ten respondents believe men to be as informed about their health as women, and one third admitted that they would be too embarrassed to discuss concerns about prostate cancer with their male friends.
The charity is attempting to increase awareness of prostate cancer and is calling for increased funding to develop new cancer treatments and improve understanding of the disease.
Professor Colin Cooper, head of the Everyman Campaign, said that it is "imperative" that the disease is brought to the forefront of cancer awareness and research.
"We need to not only continue to raise awareness but also continue to drive funding into this area," he said.
"Prostate cancer research is ten years behind research for other major cancers, and this is largely due to lack of funding," the professor added.
Prostate cancer is the most common male cancer in the UK, with one man dying from the disease every hour.

I finally got around to watching Alex Gibney's Going Clear: Scientology and the Prison of Belief, the HBO documentary about Scientology. It was everything everyone said it was. The truth really is stranger than fiction. I'm not going to do a full review, there have been plenty of others, and the film is still too new in my head to give it any kind of overall analysis. There are just a few quick points and questions I wanted to address:
- Watching the movie you see an alternative reality, where people believe things that can only be described as batshit insane. Yet, many of these people are highly functioning members of society. What widely held beliefs do we hold in our society that appear absolutely ridiculous to those viewing us from afar? I don't mean ones that differ from other societies, there are plenty of those, but ones that are provably false, yet a great deal of Americans put faith in them.
- Many of the people interviewed, the high ranking former Scientologists, that now have retired from the church, look back upon their former life with disbelief. If we were to be removed from our current station in life are there things that we would view as absurd?
- When something looks and feels like a propagandist rally, it probably is. There are creepy spectacles where the leader of the modern church, David Miscavige, and Tom Cruise speak to a stadium full of people in tuxedos and ball gowns. Fireworks go off, people wave flags, inspirational videos are shown. It looks like a megachurch combined with a political party convention combined with a sports rally. All of these things are things in which every day America people have to suspend disbelief to participate in. Sure, a sports rally is largely harmless, but you are essentially pretending that the action on the field somehow matters in your life, which unless you have money on the game, it doesn't. I think the other two examples are self-explanatory.
My point is that the church of Scientology is ridiculously absurd. But at the same time, it is just an exaggerated version of many of the things that inhabit everyday life. In fact when compared to some of the televangelists that John Oliver recently spoofed, it really isn't any more absurd. People in this documentary do horrible things to other people in the name of belief. So many of the ills of mankind are based on a belief of some kind, but because they are more accepted, are not recognized as absurd. The prison of belief. One of the things that makes the documentary so powerful is that it is explicitly about Scientology, but it is also implicitly about the way that people get carried away by belief. I would bet that even those of us that think we have a realistic view of the world have some pretty ridiculous notions if we look hard enough. Hopefully this documentary will make people look at their own lives and not just the lives of the freaks on view. That being said, the things Scientologists believe in are really, really, really fucking insane!

IBM Joins Open Office Community
Open Office development will benefit from IBM's own development activities.
IBM today officially joined the Open Office Community as the Open Source project announced via its Announce mailing list. As IBM uses Open Office technologies in its own products, it is now looking to contribute to the project.
IBM's Lotus Notes 8 draws on Open Office; users can launch Productivity Tools to create, modify and import documents, slideshows and spreadsheets in Open Document Format (ODF).
It still remains to be seen what IBM will contribute to the project in the line of code, but one thing is clear: Open Office will benefit from IBM's barrier free activities. IBM donated interfaces to Iaccessible2, an API specially designed to improve barrier-free use, to the Free Standards Group late last year to support the development of an open standard.
In an FAQ on the subject of IBM's community membership, IBM clearly states why it has waited until now to make its move. The answer is clear-cut and honest: Open Office and the ODF format have become so popular that it is worthwhile IBM joining.

Google Plus SharesBuying an iPhone 5S: When does it still make sense?
LG's OLED televisions produce amazing picture quality but demand serious cash. And while two grand for a 55-inch television is hardly "cheap," it's a lot less than last year. The 55EG9100 isn't 4K and does have a curve, but it's still pretty appealing.1 day ago
The Logitech Harmony Elite brings welcome improvements compared to the company's former flagship touchscreen clicker, the Harmony Ultimate. Its toughest competition, however, comes from Harmony's own cheaper remote.24 days ago
Price: $349.99 Check prices
Apple's new streaming-video box offers a real app store including games, a new remote with a touchpad, Siri voice interaction including cross-app search, and a revamped interface.31 days ago
Price: $88.00 - $109.00 Check prices
Available in September, the new flat LG EF9500 series promises the same world-beating picture quality and HDR of its curved OLED brothers. Flat or curved, they both cost the same amount of money, and it's a lot.37 days ago
Samsung's massive lineup of 2015 4K TVs is crowded with overpriced sets sprouting weird acronyms, gimmicky curved screens and features you'll probably never use. The JU7000 is the antidote to all of that: a flat TV with a good picture that doesn't totally break the bank.75 days ago

SSNI Breaking Out
Go Long On TBT!
The jobs number was a surprise. I expected it to be lower than expectation.
This gave me a pause. I don't see Fed tapering soon but market's expectation that rate increase is coming had increased.
The TLT is breaking down below its support of $104 too.
The IV on TBT did not spike either. With this I am now shorting TLT and look to sell naked put on TBT if IV picks up.
Disclosure: I am short TLT.
FU - With Symbol Like That, It Isn't Going To Treat The Investors Well
I covered my shorts. I went long and sold Oct. 5 puts.
I don't think company is deserves to trade at $10 but I don't think it should get cut by 50% in a week.
Disclosure: I am long FU.
Additional disclosure: I am technically long but just looking to profit from high IV.

Anyone who has ever flown on a plane, has had the experience of looking out the window and seeing the clouds below. The only problem is, the window is so darn small. With that said, if you ever get a chance to hike up into the mountains and stand on top of the clouds, take it. It will be one of the most memorable experiences of your life.
July 10-12th, 2013, I had the opportunity to stand above the clouds with a 360 degree view of that plane seat window. A marine layer had move in over Puget Sound, making for several cloudy days in Seattle and surrounding areas. When this happened, I headed to the high country, and spent a few days shooting time lapse footage on Mount Rainier.
The night of the 10th, was especially amazing from the vantage of the Freemont Fire Lookout near the sunrise visitor center. At an elevation of ~7200 feet above sea level, it was high enough to put me right at the top of the clouds. I spent all night, from sunset through sunrise, shooting everything from the sun, the clouds, the Milky Way, and even an amazing display by the Aurora Borealis. For the night shots, the challenge was the winds which were blowing in the 20-30 mph range, so I was limited to where I could shoot from. I basically had to use the lookout as a wind block for the cameras.
All or the footage was shot between Sunrise and the Freemont Lookout, and shows a variety of conditions from the marine layer and surrounding fog.

Just ran my 2007 white "Michigan Football" cap with "ESPN College Gameday" on the back tab through the dishwaser top rack for the 50th time. If you treat the sweat-stained spots with stain-remover prior to loading in the top rack of the dishwasher, your cap generally comes out perfectly clean. Anyone have an advanced technique for keeping your caps perfect?
"He makes it really easy on you as a coach because he has tremendous football instincts," Michigan tight ends coach Jay Harbaugh said. "Things come really naturally to him. He doesn't have to see things too many times. He has a good sense for how things should look and feel, and he's a tough, physical guy."

Chris Kunitz signs three-year extension with Penguins
More NHL offseason: Rumors | Top 50 Free Agents | Top 50 Prospects | Mock Draft
The Pittsburgh Penguins came into the offseason with a lot of work to do, not only in terms of trying to re-sign this year's free agents like Pascal Dupuis and Matt Cooke, but also trying to work out new deals for next year's free agents like Kris Letang and Chris Kunitz.
While Letang's name continues to swirl around the rumor mill, the Penguins announced on Thursday they have signed Kunitz to a three-year contract extension that will pay him $3.85 million per season. That's a small raise over the $3.725 million he made per season on his last contract with the Penguins.
The Penguins acquired Kunitz during the 2008-09 season from the Anaheim Ducks in exchange for defenseman Ryan Whitney. Kunitz has become a key component ever since. He doesn't always put up numbers that jump off the page, but he can usually be counted on for around 25 goals and 50 points over an 82-game season. He is a solid all-around player who excels in a lot of areas. His underlying puck possession numbers are always outstanding.
He spent this season playing on Pittsburgh's top line with Dupuis and Sidney Crosby and was on pace for what would have been his most productive season in the NHL had it been a full year.

Ps3 720p games no longer showning full screen on Sony Bravia TV[ Edited ]
I hope it helps those having the same problem as me
My Pro Evolution soccer 2013 stopped showning in full screen on my TV. It was now showing in a smaller square in the center of my screen.
I searched many forums for the solution but they all came back to saying that I had to press the wide picture button of my TV remote. That wouldn't do it for me since it showed a stretched-out image of less quality.
I tried everything, on the TV and on the PS3, unplugged for an hour all devices, changed HDMI cable, upscale bd, removed 720p from my video output settings (to force upscale to 1080p) but it wasn't a manual setting issue.
Later I noticed that I had no longer the 4 options on the Wide Mode button, but only 3, and it was identified as PC. Therefore I realized how the problem started:
The night before I had my laptop connected to port HDMI2. When I went to bed I unplugged the HDMI2 before turning off my laptop. All my bravia's HDMI ports were now stuck as PC in the Wide Mode.
To fix the problem:
I reconnected my laptop to HDMI2, surfed here , then switched the Bravia's input to HDMI1 (where PS3 is) and Voila!!! Wide mode was not showing "PC", but "HDM1" instead. My 4 wide options were there. And my beloved 720p game was shown fullscreen with the same quality I used to have.
I just went back to HDMI2, posted this message, turned off the Laptop and only then unplugged HDMI2.
HDMI is a tricky business, it got my tv stuck on PC mode, which cannot upscale 720p
Good luck

Troopers with the Nebraska State Patrol talked to more than 80 motorists Saturday during a special patrol before and after the Husker-Penn State football game.
Troopers also issued three citations for driving under suspension, three citations or warnings for seat belt violations and one citation for child restrait violation. Troopers also helped 12 motorists with car trouble, Collins said.
The enforcement was designed to help ease traffic congestion and reduce the potential for injury crashes, Nebraska State Patrol spokeswoman Deb Collins said. It was the second in a series of special efforts, with more planned for the remaining Husker home game, on Nov. 17, when NU plays Minnesota.
The additional enforcement is paid for thanks in part to a $6,570 grant from the Nebraska Office of Highway Safety.

LOL Videos & Photos
Movie Info
An authentic story that perfectly captures coming of age in today's digital world, LOL is a remake of the hugely popular 2008 French film LOL (Laughing Out Loud). Starting a new year of high school, Lola (Miley Cyrus), (or "Lol," as her friends call her), works to find the right balance between family, school, friends and romance. Broken-hearted by her ex, Lol's world is soon turned upside down when she is surprised to find her best friend, Kyle (Douglas Booth), a musician in an up and coming rock band, could possibly be the love of her life. In her quest towards independence, self-identity and young adulthood, Lol discovers that while Facebook "status" is easy to change; true relationships are worth the effort. -- (C) Lionsgate … More

Critic Reviews for LOL
All Critics (6) | Top Critics (1) | Fresh (1) | Rotten (5) | DVD (1)
LOL is DOA, a shapeless and charmless teen-skewing trifle stocked with trendy slanguage and social-network gimcracks that make it seem like something four years past its expiration date.
It's a shame in a year that gave us "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," we have this tepid piece of junk.
What's of real interest here...is the casual, unforced portrayal just how indulged, spoilt, undisciplined and self-centred these iGen teens are.
Actually, LOL is a lot like an episode of Gilmore Girls, only the mother and daughter are total creeps and the characterizations are completely insulting.
Audience Reviews for LOL
For a movie cleverly-if-cutesily called "LOL" (main girl's name is Lola, shortened to the ubiquitous internet slang) with the mawkish tagline of "You can change your status but not your heart," there's very little laughing out loud or status changing going on with the characters in the movie, to say even less for the viewing audience. The teen drama is vague and insipid, born of silly secrets, obvious misunderstandings, and a triangle of near-identical hipster boys.
Miley Cyrus rocks the honey blonde hair, but she is still scrunchy-faced and faux-angry and probably can't speak a lick of French with her thick drawl. Ashley Greene, herself, seems to be aware that she's the only twenty-five-year-old-looking super senior fawning over the boys at this school. Even Demi Moore is wooden.
Super Reviewer
Okay. Seen it all before and done better, but this was mildly entertaining. I didn't hate it.
Super Reviewer
"This movie is actually spot on when it comes to mother and daughter relationships. Especially when the mother had the child at a younger age. You still are growing and changing and sometimes are going through similar changes as your almost adult child. I know it's really a shocking discovery when you find out that your parents are human and still making mistakes and learning. I liked the movie, but the story wasn't strong enough. The acting by some wasn't that great either. Miley does OK in this film. Her crying seemed a bit fake at times. I found it really hard to believe her. The supporting cast really helped make this movie watchable. I miss Demi in films. I liked her in this. I wouldn't mind seeing her in more movies again. I think it's worth at least a one time watch."
Super Reviewer
LOL Quotes

If you obtain a PhD in substance addiction counseling, this signifies the end of a long academic track. It shows that you are someone who has undertaken the most thorough specialization in your chosen field. People who hold PhD (or PsyD or doctorate) degrees are considered to be experts in a specific area of study by academics and the public. A PhD in psychology counseling with a focus on substance abuse and addiction counseling will also expand your professional opportunities. In the field of alcohol or drug abuse, you will be able to apply the principles of mental health, psychology, and development, to help addicts achieve effective cognitive, behavioral, and systemic changes to improve their lives.
Substance Addiction Counseling Training and Education
To earn a doctoral degree as a drug or alcohol abuse counselor takes years of research. A PhD student has to write a protracted thesis on a topic of his or her choice. Research content in the dissertation has to be advanced. If you wish to make a significant contribution to the field of substance abuse, earning a doctorate degree will give you the opportunity.
If you have your heart set on teaching or doing research, a PhD in substance addiction counseling will be beneficial. In order to be a successful student, you must have strong academic abilities, outstanding study skills, motivation, and commitment.
A Grade Point Average of at least 3.0 is usually the benchmark for doctoral programs, but some institutions expect higher. Be realistic about your abilities and expectations before taking this major step. A counselor with a PsyD can specialize in other fields in addition to drug abuse. They can take on positions as mental health counselor, marriage and family counselor, rehabilitation counselor, career and guidance counselor, and educational counselor.
Careers in Substance Abuse Counseling
The occupation of a counselor is rewarding and it can be pursued in a number of different environments. Many PsyD holders choose to become college or university professors. Alternatively, they get involved in research work that is focused on new developments and treatments for addiction. Obtaining a coveted position at a college or university can be a competitive and arduous process. However, there is a big demand for highly qualified part-timers to work in a faculty.
The advantages of obtaining a PhD in substance addiction counseling are many. Doctorate level programs and specialized substance abuse counseling courses prepare students for careers in many settings. Graduates go on to take up jobs at university and college centers, rehabilitation facilities, health care facilities, businesses, institutions of higher education, or they open their own private consulting practices.
Should you decide to open your own practice as an addiction counselor, your insurer will probably offer a more competitive rate of reimbursement because of your doctorate. Also, you can charge patients a higher fee because the initials, PsyD, follow your name. Therefore, you are increasing your income potential. It must be said, however, that doctorate degrees may not suit everyone.
