Foreign workers upset by severance pay formula
By Kim Se-jeong
Foreigners working under the Employment Permit System (EPS) and activists are protesting a revised rule on the payment of the former's severance pay.
"The money transaction system varies from one country to another. How can you guarantee that this won't evaporate in the middle? Also, who will pay for transaction fees and others?" said Park Jin-woo of the Migrant Trade Union, which helps migrant workers.
Under the new rule, which went into effect Tuesday, workers can only receive their severance pay after they return to their home countries. The Ministry of Justice (MOJ) said workers would still receive their severance pay within 14 days after the end of their contract, which is now the case.
Previously, departing workers could receive the money at the airport.
However, an increasing number of migrant workers are opting to overstay their visas to continue to work in Korea instead of returning home.
The MOJ said it revised the rule to ensure all foreign workers get their severance pay after returning home, but observers say it could backfire.
"Some foreign workers are concerned that they will not receive any money at all," an anonymous Nepalese diplomat based in Seoul told The Korea Times.
Workers are entitled to an additional month's salary after working one year, and the amount goes up as the number of years goes by.
Insurance firms manage their severance pay accounts to prevent possible misappropriation of the money by Korean employers. This is called the Departure Guarantee Insurance System.
The money is now paid to foreign workers only when they leave the country. If they choose to stay illegally, they cannot receive the money.
The new rule is part of the government's efforts to reduce the number of illegal foreign workers. Foreign workers' advocates claim the workers will have no recourse if the money doesn't arrive in their home countries.
Also, all fees incurred during transactions must be paid by the recipients, they say.
"We are working to reduce the amount of the fees. The best way would be to pick it up at the airport when you leave," said an official at Samsung Fire and Marine Insurance, one of five contractors in charge of managing and paying the money.
As of June, over 200,000 workers are working with the permit. The ministry estimates almost 54,000 people are staying here illegally.
Introduced 10 years ago, the EPS allows people from 15, mostly Asian countries to work here — Vietnam sends the largest number.
However, the government put it on hold two years ago due to rising number of illegally staying workers.
Korea's dependence on imported labor will only grow as the nation has a low birthrate, and when young people will not work in factories or on farms.
Despite their contributions, foreign workers are not treated equally and are often discriminated against, and have few protections.

Nobelist Kahneman: Emotion, Cognition Merge

Their latest guest is Daniel Kahneman, co-recipient the 2002 Nobel Prize in Economics [re-corrected, see discussion in comments], whose new book is Thinking, Fast and Slow. One that I found particularly relevant to neuromarketing was a question about the future of cognitive science: […]

Book Review: Neuromarketing: Exploring the Brain of the Consumer by Leon Zurawicki
I'm constantly asked the question, "where can I study neuromarketing?" by those looking for an undergraduate or graduate degree that will enable them to find a neuromarketing job after graduation. It's fair to say that academia hasn't fully embraced neuromarketing as a field of study, but when that happens Leon Zurawicki's Neuromarketing: Exploring the Brain of the Consumer will likely be the textbook. Zurawicki's book explores the field in a thoughtful, well-researched, and well-documented manner. […]

Surprise: Brainfluence for Kindle Launches Early!
Regular readers of Neuromarketing probably know my book Brainfluence: 100 Ways to Persuade and Convince Consumers with Neuromarketing will be in stores on November 22. I was hoping that the Kindle version would be available by then, though I was warned that the e-versions were a separate production process and it might not be. To my surprise, late last week, the Kindle link magically appeared. Even more surprising, the link wasn't for a pre-order, but instead was a live download of the whole book! […]

Book Review: Incognito: The Secret Lives of the Brain by David Eagleman
Incognito is a look inside our heads: Eagleman, a neuroscientist at Baylor College of Medicine, looks at various aspects of how our brains work and how those functions manifest themselves in our behavior. In one chapter, he looks at our senses and how optical illusions can fool us. Unlike so many pop-neuroscience books today, though, Eaglemen doesn't focus exclusively on how our brains don't work as expected. Rather, he uses those occasional failures, like seeing color gradients that don't really exist, to lead into a better understanding of how our brains actually do work. […]

The gays are putting our national security at risk. And Congressman Ike Skelton, a Democrat who represents mid-Missouri, is helping them do it.
That's the message we got last week from Republican Vicky Hartzler, a former Missouri state rep and author of Running God's Way: Step by Step to a Successful Political Campaign. Hartzler is challenging Skelton, who has held his seat since 1977 and looks mighty vulnerable to the Republican Party right now.
Skelton is anything but a flaming liberal. His career voting record has earned him a 46 percent rating from the American Conservative Union, as opposed to, say, Emanuel Cleaver's 5 percent or Roy Blunt's 93 percent. But according to Hartzler's analysis of President Barack Obama's State of the Union speech last week, Skelton is helping to promote the president's country-destroying agenda:
Sadly, the President doesn't or won't understand what Missourians know, that the failing policies his administration has been proposing need to be abandoned, not pushed further. He advocated continued support for failed policies advanced by Congressman Skelton and Nancy Pelosi. Both are out of touch with the wishes of the Heartland.Hartzler went on to crib from the National Republican Congressional Committee's talking points, complaining about "job-killing" policies that will destroy small businesses and impose communistic, apocalyptic tax increases.
The president says he was for national security yet supports measures to further put us at risk including cuts to missile defense programs, prosecuting terrorists in criminal court, and reinstating the "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy. Ike Skelton has allowed the military to be used earlier to pass Nancy Pelosi's radical agenda. What will he do now?
Ike Skelton has allowed the military to be used to pass Pelosi's radical agenda? That sounds as if he dispatched troops to citizens' homes to force health care on us!
And wait a second -- reinstating Don't Ask Don't Tell? The policy still exists -- and Skelton has said he's against repealing it. In fact, gays and their friends held a rally downtown last week to demand that Skelton, who chairs the House Armed Services Committee, at least hold a hearing on the issue.
I sent a note to Samantha Hill, Hartzler's spokeswoman, asking for clarification. Thus began an exchange that started out friendly but ended much too soon.
"Hi Samantha," I wrote. "Two questions about this statement." Those questions, as sent to Hartzler's office:
When Vicky writes: "The President says he was for national security yet supports measures to further put us at risk including cuts to missile defense programs, prosecuting terrorists in criminal court, and reinstating the 'Don't Ask, Don't Tell' policy. Ike Skelton has allowed the military to be used earlier to pass Nancy Pelosi's radical agenda," does she actually mean "repealing" Don't Ask Don't Tell?Hill got back to me within a few minutes:
Also, when she says Skelton "has allowed the military to be used earlier to pass Nancy Pelosi's radical agenda," can you give me an example of what she's referring to?
Yes, she does mean repealing the policy. I apologize for the typo, that's a significant mixup.So Hartzler's claim that Skelton "allowed the military to be used ... to pass Nancy Pelosi's radical agenda" rests on his having voted in favor of a defense-spending authorization bill that included an attachment making it a federal crime to assault someone because of his or her sexual orientation.
the primary example she would be referring to was the attachment of the "hate crimes" legislation to the defense spending bill last year.
Thanks again for the questions, and just let me know if you need to know anything else!
I guess I'm not sure how repealing Don't Ask Don't Tell "puts us at risk"?I sent that at 11:20 a.m. on Thursday, January 28. Hill had been pretty speedy on the reply button until then, but I still haven't heard back on that last question. Which makes me sad, because I really want to know.

Respond to Review of Eden - A Vegan Cafe
by PennsyltuckyVeggie
Review: This goes to show you that you don't have to go to New York City to eat in a 5 star vegan restaurant - just find your way to Scranton! You won't be served any avant-garde balsamic reduction flourishes over micro greens, you will be served great food and plenty of it. To counter some of the criticism written on Happy Cow, Eden has plenty of healthy choices. If you don't want to order a meal with meat substitutes in it there are wraps, salads, soups and rice dishes. We were cheerfully greeted by Lindsay the Counter Girl who understood that we were overwhelmed just looking at the specials. We scanned them and decided to take regular menus to sit down and look over. I think it took us over 10 minutes to calm our excitement and reassure ourselves that everything on the menu was vegan. Eden get its vegan buns fresh daily from Scranton's own National Bakery. I could really tell that with my Chili Cheeseburger and after the sub-par ciabatta earlier in the day, this was a welcome sandwich. The chili was mellow and reminded me a lot of the very first vegetarian chili I used to make with kidney beans and TVP - it really made me smile. The burger itself was a thinner chewy patty with veggies like corn, peppers and carrots in it. Although I never really got the cheese aspect of this sandwich, I got some sweet pickle relish for an additional charge and the whole burger was a warm delightful feast. The Tuna Melt isn't the way we typically make our sandwich fillers, we like big old hunks of stuff, but the pimento spread like flavor was pretty nice. With the healthy serving of warm and melty cheese and toasted bread, it too fell into the category of vegan comfort food. If I considered all of the above comfort food, I have yet to share the most soul soothing of all that we ate - Eden's Smashed Potatoes! Topped with just a little bit of vegan butter, the pile of warm and savory sage seasoned softness was like a big hug for our tummies. They weren't overly salted, were chunky but soft and had just the right amount of pepper. I want them just like that for Thanksgiving this year. Read full review here: http://wp.me/1GQWj

Article: Patterns and Outcomes of Aortofemoral Bypass Grafting in the Era of Endovascular Interventions[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The aim of the study is to study contemporary presentation patterns and clinical results in patients undergoing aortofemoral bypass (AFB) surgery. This was a retrospective comparative study. During a 14-year period, 269 consecutive patients (mean age 65 years) underwent AFB. Indications included occlusive disease with severe intermittent claudication (IC) (n = 86), critical limb ischaemia (CLI, n = 97) and aneurysmo-occlusive disease (n = 86). From 2000-07 on, AFB was performed more frequently for occlusive disease with CLI than for other indications (48% vs. 31% before 2000, P = 0.009) and also in women (51% vs. 32% before 2000, P = 0.003), compared to the period before 2000. Thirty-day mortality was reduced during 2000-2007 to 2.4%, compared with 4.3% during 1993-1999, although this difference was not statistically significant (P = 0.73). Morbidity did not change substantially over the study period. Predictors of 30-day mortality included indication (CLI = 4.1% vs. claudication = 1.2% (P = 0.37)) and chronic kidney disease (CKD, serum creatinine > 1.5 mg dl⁻¹) (11.1% vs. 2.9% in normal renal function, P = 0.07), the latter being the single predictor on multivariate analysis (hazard risk 4.2, P = 0.047). Overall 5 and 10-year assisted primary and secondary patency was 95% and 88%, and 99% and 95%, respectively. Survival at 5 and 10 years was 69% and 48%, respectively. Patient age (hazard risk 1.05, P < 0.001), CKD (hazard risk 1.79, P = 0.018) and diabetes (hazard risk 1.56, P = 0.022) were independent predictors of worse long-term survival. Long-term outcome did not change over the course of the study. In the contemporary era, AFB is more likely to be performed for CLI and in women than in the past. Despite these changes, perioperative mortality and morbidity remain low and long-term outcome excellent.
Article: Adventitia-Derived Hydrogen Peroxide Impairs Relaxation of the Rat Carotid Artery via Smooth Muscle Cell p38 Mitogen-Activated Protein Kinase[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The role of adventitia-derived reactive oxygen species (ROS) in vascular disease and impaired vascular relaxation is not clear. Based on robust adventitial ROS generation and effects on MAPK involvement in vascular dysfunction, we hypothesized that adventitia-derived ROS hydrogen peroxide (H(2)O(2)) impairs vascular relaxation through activation of medial smooth muscle p38 MAPK. By using a novel in vivo model, the adventitial surface of rat carotid arteries was bathed in situ for 90 min with vehicle, angiotensin II (AngII; 500 nM), AngII+H(2)O(2)-scavenger catalase (3,000 U/ml), AngII+p38 MAPK inhibitor SB203580 (10 μM), or AngII+superoxide dismutase (SOD; 150 U/ml). After these in vivo treatments, ex vivo tone measurements on isolated vessels revealed that periadventitial application of AngII impaired both acetylcholine-induced (endothelium-dependent) and sodium nitroprusside-induced (endothelium-independent) relaxations. In vivo coincubation with catalase or SB203580 significantly improved, but SOD exacerbated AngII-induced impairment of in vitro endothelium-dependent and -independent vascular relaxations. Western blots of vascular media, separated from the adventitia, demonstrated increased medial p38 MAPK activation and decreased medial phosphatase SHP-2 activity in AngII-treated vessels. These effects were reversed by in vivo periadventitial addition of catalase. These findings provide the first evidence that adventitia-derived H(2)O(2) participates in vascular dysfunction through p38 MAPK activation and SHP-2 inhibition.
Article: Lack of Glutathione Peroxidase 1 Accelerates Cardiac-Specific Hypertrophy and Dysfunction in Angiotensin II Hypertension[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Glutathione peroxidase 1 (Gpx1) plays an important role in cellular defense by converting hydrogen peroxide and organic hydroperoxides to nonreactive products, and Gpx1(-/-) mice, which are characterized by reduced tissue glutathione peroxidase activity, are known to exhibit enhanced oxidative stress. Peroxides participate in tissue injury, as well as the hypertrophy of cultured cells, yet the role of Gpx1 to prevent end organ damage in cardiovascular tissue is not clear. We postulated that Gpx1 deletion would potentiate both aortic and cardiac hypertrophy, as well as mean arterial blood pressure, in response to angiotensin II (AngII). Our results show that short-term AngII markedly increased left ventricular mass, myocyte cross-sectional area, and interventricular septum thickness and decreased shortening fraction in Gpx1(-/-) mice as compared with wild-type animals. On the other hand, AngII resulted in a similar increase in mean arterial blood pressure in wild-type and Gpx1(-/-) mice. Collagen deposition increased in response to AngII, but no differences were found between strains. Vascular hypertrophy increased to the same extent in Gpx1(-/-) and wild-type mice. Collectively, our results indicate that Gpx1 deficiency accelerates cardiac hypertrophy and dysfunction but has no effect on vascular hypertrophy and mean arterial blood pressure and suggest a major role for Gpx1 in cardiac dysfunction in AngII-dependent hypertension.

ABSTRACT: Keloids and hypertrophic scars can be uncomfortable, disfiguring, and aesthetically undesirable. Anecdotal reports suggest that low-dose intralesional fluorouracil can be used to treat these undesirable scars. Using a prospective case series protocol, both keloid and hypertrophic scar patients were included. Keloid patients underwent excision followed by a series of treatments with intralesional 5-fluorouracil into the healing scar to prevent recurrence (n = 32). The hypertrophic scar patients were treated with the same series of injections without scar excision to both control symptoms and improve scar appearance (n = 21). The primary outcome measures were scar volume and a symptom questionnaire. Patients were followed for 1 year after completing the injection treatments. In the keloid group, the recurrence rate was 19 percent at 1-year follow-up for this group of patients who had failed previous corticosteroid injection therapy. In the hypertrophic scar group, 14 percent did not respond to the series of injections. In this group, there was a median volume decrease of 50 percent maintained for 1 year after injection therapy was terminated. Intralesional fluorouracil is a safe and effective means of controlling problem scars in terms of both recurrence and symptom control. Benefits were maintained for at least 1 year after completion of therapy. Intralesional 5-fluorouracil should be considered another option for patients suffering from problematic scars.
Article: Nox4 Oxidase Overexpression Specifically Decreases Endogenous Nox4 mRNA and Inhibits Angiotensin II-Induced Adventitial Myofibroblast Migration[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The vascular adventitia is emerging as an important modulator of vessel remodeling. Adventitial myofibroblasts migrate to the neointima after balloon angioplasty, contributing to restenosis. We postulated that angiotensin II (Ang II) enhances adventitial myofibroblast migration in vitro via reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidase-derived H(2)O(2) and that Nox4-based oxidase promotes migration. Ang II increased myofibroblast migration in a concentration-dependent manner, with a peak increase of 1023+/-83%. Rat adventitial myofibroblasts were cotransfected with human Nox4 and human p22-phox plasmids or an empty vector. PCR showed an 8-fold increase in human Nox4 and human p22-phox plasmid expression. Using RT-PCR with primers specifically designed for rat reduced nicotinamide-adenine dinucleotide phosphate oxidases, endogenous Nox levels were determined. Ang II decreased endogenous Nox4 and Nox1 mRNA to 41% and 27% of control, respectively, but had no effect on Nox2. Cotransfection with human Nox4 and human p22-phox plasmids combined with Ang II reduced endogenous Nox4 mRNA levels (37+/-5% of control; P<0.05), whereas it had no significant effect on Nox1 or Nox2. In empty vector-transfected cells, Ang II increased myofibroblast migration by 192+/-32% versus vehicle (P<0.01) while increasing H(2)O(2) (473+/-22% versus control; P<0.001). Cotransfection with human Nox4 and human p22-phox plasmids decreased Ang II-induced migration (46+/-6%; P<0.001) in parallel with attenuation of H(2)O(2) production (23+/-8% versus empty vector; P<0.05). Our data suggest that Nox4 promotes Ang II-induced myofibroblast migration via an H(2)O(2)-dependent pathway. The data also suggest that Nox4 causes feedback inhibition of its own expression in adventitial myofibroblasts.
Article: Adventitial fibroblast reactive oxygen species as autacrine and paracrine mediators of remodeling: Bellwether for vascular disease?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The importance of the vascular adventitia is increasingly being recognized not only in vascular disease but also in normal maintenance and homeostasis of vessels. Activation of the adventitia and its resident fibrocytic cells in response to injury, stretch, cytokines, and hormones has been shown to stimulate differentiation, collagen deposition, migration, and proliferation. Importantly, the effects of adventitial fibroblasts are increasingly being ascribed to reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by adventitial fibroblast NAD(P)H oxidases. Much historical and recent evidence suggests that fibroblast NAD(P)H oxidase) is a harbinger and initiator of vascular disease and remodeling. Data from our laboratory indicate that adventitial fibroblast NAD(P)H oxidase plays a direct and/or paracrine role in neointimal hyperplasia as well as a paracrine role in medial smooth muscle hypertrophy in vivo. We propose that adventitial NAD(P)H oxidase-derived cell-permeant hydrogen peroxide or a byproduct of its oxidation of lipids activates signaling mechanisms in medial smooth muscle leading to the growth response. This review will address the potential role of this adventitial ROS in vascular inflammation and cytokine release to potentiate smooth muscle hypertrophy. We will also survey other signaling pathways involving adventitial NAD(P)H oxidase ultimately leading to changes in vascular phenotype.
Article: Are the Communication and Professionalism Competencies the New Critical Values in a Resident's Global Evaluation Process?[Show abstract] [Hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: The ACGME requires the assessment of resident competency in 6 domains. Global evaluations covering all 6 competencies are routinely used. Evaluators may be overly influenced by resident affability and availability, thereby resulting in a halo effect. We hypothesized that the Interpersonal Skills and Communications (ICS) and Professionalism (PR) competencies would unduly influence other competency scores. General surgery resident evaluations are performed by staff and peers on a rotational basis using competency-based questions. Each question is scored using a 5-point Likert scale. Mean individual composite scores for each competency were calculated and then correlated with other mean composite competency scores. Data from patient evaluations were similarly analyzed. A final correlation of competency scores to ABSITE scores, as an objective, standardized measure of a specific competency, Medical knowledge (MK) was also performed. Results were available for 37 residents (PGY 1-5). There was a significant association between ICS scores and higher scores in MK (r = 0.52, p = 0.004), PR (r = 0.826, p < 0.0001) and patient care (PC) (r = 0.619, p < 0.0001). No correlation, however, was found between patient evaluations of residents and their faculty/peer-based ICS scores. We found no association between ICS scores and improved patient evaluations. Lastly, we found no association between ICS or MK scores and ABSITE scores. It was difficult to ascertain whether residents with better ICS scores had higher PR, PC, and MK scores because of the halo effect, improper completion of evaluations, or whether those residents were truly performing better clinically. External measures of resident performance did not correlate with faculty/peer evaluations of ICS and PR. Residency programs should consider adopting a more standardized way to objectively evaluate residents.

In the Etchells National Championship, the 31-boat fleet are working through their way last minute key jobs before racing, being hosted by Southport Yacht Cub on the Gold Coast, starts tomorrow. All competitors are due to weigh-in and register during the day, before they head out for a practice race and shake-down session.
Roger Hickman's sun Tzu (1088) in the thick of the fleet on day two of June's Etchells Australasian Winter Championship.
The mix of the sailors who have gathered at Southport Yacht Club for the Etchells event, again reinforces the strength of this 40-year-old class. Within that mix are a range of characters. Some of them have achieved broader community recognition, most recently through the 34th America's Cup, and through Olympic Games representation, making their names recognisable. Some of those names are John Bertrand, Grant Simmer, Anthony Nossiter, Andrew Palfrey, Will McCarthy and Neville Wittey.
Then there are the other characters who are also high achievers, but whose names are not so readily bandied around by the sport media and non-sailor.
On the water there won't be a lot of difference across this group. They will line up on the start line in their strict one-design Etchells and battle the eight-race national championship with as much vigour and talent as they can muster on the day.
For some the battle will also be about putting on hold their other sailing distractions to focus on the overall Etchells prize.
Roger Hickman is one skipper who will be ditching his ocean racing hat as he heads out from Southport Yacht Club for the Etchells event. Last weekend he completed the 180 mile Cabbage Tree Island Race with his 28-year-oild Wild Rose, taking out handicap honours for an impressive third Cruising Yacht Club of Australia Blue Water Pointscore race.
This morning he was then on the road to the Gold Coast, his Sun Tzu under tow, with his crew talking about the Etchells National Championship. 'The answer is we just love our sailing. The ocean racing is a different discipline.
'I love the challenge that the ocean and the weather gives you and then I love the challenge, the mastery, of a lot of the Etchells sailors. The top 10 or 20 Etchells I am just in awe of them. I love competing. Every now and then you might beat one or two of them.
Ethells Sun Tzu skipper, Roger Hickman, in his other role as skipper of Wild Rose at the Rolex Sydney Hobart media conference.
'The transition is easy. I have only just got back from the Dragon Worlds in Weymouth. My passion for the one-design is very real and the passion for the ocean racing is also very real,' Hickman said.
He will be racing with Kim Ketelbey, Dan Morrow and Antonia Fong, all of whom also sail on Wild Rose. Once the Etchells nationals are over, they will be back on the road to Sydney and refocused on their Wild Rose Hobart campaign.
For the 69-year-old Tony Ellis, he gets to enjoy the best of both small boat and big boat racing. This week he will be in the middle of Mike Thackray's Sydney team, Trekka. Once the nationals are over he will quickly head back south to continue helping out with the preparations on Ragamuffin for this year's Rolex Sydney Hobart Race, his 41st race south.
Ellis has no problems with the transition from the 100-foot Ragamuffin to Etchells racing. 'We campaign the boat really hard for a month or so at Christmas time and the other races. That suits me too. There's no commitment to go every Saturday to sail offshore which I find can be a bit boring. In fact, I would rather sail on the Etchells on Saturday's on the Harbour. They're one-design and really good racing. I started sailing them about 30 years ago. I get to have the best of both worlds,' Ellis said.
The forecast for the eight-race series looks like it will be a tricky event with the weather models not agreeing as yet. Currently the breeze is still from the NNW and building. It is expected to stay that way for the first few days before softening and swinging to the south.

Back in 1992, Charlotte Motor Speedway officials recognized that a need existed for an affordable race car that was easy to maintain. With increasing race car costs, car counts dropped, with an estimated 30% to 40% of North America's cars not competing due to costs. Research revealed that tracks with lower cost cars saw far greater participation. Thus, US Legend Cars, Inc. was introduced in January 1992, with the aim of creating an affordable race car that could race on smaller tracks and had lower maintenance costs. The first Legends Car debuted in April 1992, and since then the sport has grown tremendously.
Grand Prix Motorcycle Racing
With history going back to its first FIM organized event in 1949, Grand Prix motorcycle racing is an international series which has gathered a loyal following of fans who turn out in droves to watch driver and machine become as one as they compete for the checkered flag. As the main championship of motorcycle road racing, the Road Racing World Championship Grand Prix is divided into three categories: 125cc, Moto2, and MotoGP.
Solar Power for Pocono
There is a new landmark that can be seen from outer space, and it is located next to the Pocono Raceway in Long Pond. A massive solar power field has been erected
by the Pocono Raceway to break ground as the first sport facility to be run on sustainable energy. Their dedication to the environment and to becoming leaders in the field of sustainable energy in the sports industry, has earned Pocono Raceway and NASCAR praise and admiration. It is hoped that once other sporting facilities recognise the potential and advantages of sustainable energy, they too will make the necessary changes to promote an environmentally friendly industry.
Virgin Racing Stars Team Up With FxPro to Release New F1 Game
he Virgin Racing F1 Team and FxPro Financial Services Ltd (FxPro), a leading global retail broker in FX and CFDs, has launched an exciting new racing game that pits online players against each other for the chance to win VIP tickets to F1 races, football matches and other great sporting experiences.
Green Racing a Go With Roadsters
Auto racing has been getting a lot of flack in recent years for not being terribly environmentally friendly. Now it seems that this facet of sport may potentially have a lot to offer the average man on the street in terms of preserving our fast-degrading environment. Green Racing may ultimately help lessen the environmental impact that cars have on our ozone.

Small Group Curriculum for the Week of February 6/7
Posted February 7th
No information is available about this author.
Posted February 15th, 2013
During the season of Lent, we'll be posting excerpts from the devotional Journey to the Cross, Readings and Devotions for Lent by Kendal Haug & Will Walker. Each day consists of a call to worship, confession, contemplation, and closing prayer.
Day 3
Call to Worship
"A voice cries: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the Lord; make straight in the desert a highway for our God. Every valley shall be lifted up, and every mountain and hill be made low; the uneven ground shall become level, and the rough places a plain. And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together, for the mouth of the Lord has spoken." A voice says, "Cry!" And I said, "What shall I cry?" All flesh is grass, and all its beauty is like the flower of the field. The grass withers, the flower fades when the breath of the Lord blows on it; surely the people are grass. The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God will stand forever." [ISAIAH 40:3-8]
Most merciful God whose Son, Jesus Christ, was tempted in every way, yet was without sin, we confess before you our own sinfulness; we have hungered after that which does not satisfy; we have compromised with evil; we have doubted your power to protect us. Forgive our lack of faith; have mercy on our weakness. Restore in us such trust and love that we may walk in your ways and delight in doing your will. Amen.
At the onset of Jesus' ministry, John announced his coming in fulfillment of Isaiah 40: "In the wilderness prepare the way of the LORD; make straight in the desert a highway for our God." This is the cry of Lent: Prepare the way of the Lord! Make room for him in your thoughts and activities and affections.
An appropriate response to this announcement is to take stock of our lives, to reconsider how we are living our lives in light of God's presence and power made available to us in Jesus. And that is what Lent is for, to reflect on our lives as they are and as they could be. Giving up a habit or a food or a pleasure is not distinctly Christian. People give up things all the time in the name of self-help, or worse, vanity and vengeance. The point of Lent is to reorient life God-ward. This reorientation has to do with desert and wilderness. A "wilderness experience" in our language usually means one has been gone for a while and now returns with new insight or perspective, "a new lease on life." Whether it is a trip to the third world, or a hike in the mountains, people are stripped of their usual comforts, removed from the safety of familiarity, and are forced to see the world from a different vantage point.
Our aim during Lent is something like a wilderness experience. We want to shake up our lives significantly enough that when we reach for our usual comforts and grasp a fistful of air, we are forced to cling to Christ – his body, his blood. We want to see just how upside down our world really is as our "important things" prove to be perishable goods, as the light shines on our "righteousness" and exposes the layers of "self" beneath the surface, and as our "busy" lives are shown to simply lack wisdom.
The desire is a new lease on life, a view into the vast world of God, a deep breath and long look above the tree line of self-absorption. So in Lent we focus on getting away from the life of flesh and into the life of the Spirit, denying our ways and embracing God's. The point of giving things up is not to be reminded of how much we miss them, but rather to be awakened to how much we miss God and long for his life-giving Spirit. This means, of course, that Lent is not only about giving up things. It is also about adding things, God things.
The practice of giving something up for Lent is a way of entering into the wilderness with Jesus. Don't worry about whether or not your sacrifice is a good one. It's not a contest. Just make your aim to know Christ more fully, and trust him to lead you. Seek to replace that thing with devotion to Christ—his Word and his mission. God may lead you to give up and take up more as you go. That's good. Deny yourself, take up your cross and follow Jesus.
Closing Prayer
Merciful God, we come to you today realizing that we are not how you want us to be. Help us let go of our past, that we may turn toward you and live again the life of faith. Help us call out our fear and hatred, our anger and self-pity. Lift the burden they place on our shoulders. Help us set aside our guilt and enter a season of healing. As we pray and fast today, help us become simple people, that we may see you plainly. Let us draw near to you now. Amen.

so awesome!
my favorite psychic type of all time
Very nicely done!
It looks great. The shading came out really well
Thanks, kinda tricky how Espeon is so simple
Haha, I'm sure! Because they really are. I'm sure it'd be harder to do paint-drip for a Pokemon with a more complex design though =/
It is, but it is actually a little easier not to get lost while painting it. I'm odd though, so it should probably be the other way around XD
This is cool! Nice idea and well executed.

Crash in Mickleton Road, Illimgton. Picture by Warwickshire Fire & Rescue Service
/ News
A WOMAN was taken to hospital after crashing into a hedge near Shipston.
Warwickshire Police were called at 11.08am today (Thursday) to Mickleton Road, Ilmington, along with fire crews from Shipston and Stratford.
A red Nissan Juke, driven by a 43-year-old woman, had left the road and ended up in a hedge.
The woman was trapped - mainly because the car was wedged in the hedge - and had to be rescued by the fire service.
West Midlands Ambulance also attended and took the woman to Warwick Hospital with suspected chest injuries.

Cameron is almost 3 1/2, and I've never gone anywhere without him. When he was an infant, my amazingwonderfulfantastic friends took him overnight twice so I could sleep. When visiting with family, sometimes they'll look after Cameron in the morning so I can sleep in, but it's still not quite getting away.
I was exhausted. I was /dying/ for a break. An evening without, "Mommymommymommy," and "Whyy? Whyyyyy mommy whyy?" A night without having to listen - and without hearing even if someone else is there to attend to him. A morning waking up on my own, not having to look after someone else's needs.
I was feeling hurt by a family member who helped out my already spoiled and frankly psychotic sister, who is married and gets TONNES of time to herself, week long holidays several times in the year.
But my Dad is visiting. And I managed to tell him that I needed a night on my own. NOW.
I booked a night in a semi-fancy hotel downtown. I said bye to Cameron - I thought he'd fuss and cry and scream like he does when I leave him with friends, but nope. Easy. "Okay Mommy!"
I had a wonderful 3 course dinner with wine in a nice restaurant by my self. I had a bubble bath, shaved (lol), lotioned, relaxed, watched a movie, slept slept slept. Woke up on my own. Read. Watched TV. Had a shower.
I need to do this more often.

If you can go back an collect all your gear, where is the fear in dying? #3.1 Agree(0) | Disagree(1) | Report | Reply Neonridr + 1219d ago Well think about it. If you died in a cramped space where there were say 2 zombies who surprised and killed you, when you return to that same spot you have the 2 zombies that killed you plus an extra zombie which was your former character. I think it adds quite a bit to the game, in that dying can actually make it harder to progress through because you are creating more enemies for you to deal with. #3.1.1 (Edited 1219d ago ) | Agree(1) | Disagree(0) | Report kyon147 + 1219d ago Yeah that would be pretty cool for it to become harder and if you die too much you will have to deal with loads of your former self XD #3.1.2 Agree(2) | Disagree(1) | Report mamotte + 1219d ago It's not different from the many checkpoints that almost every game has these days. You dont even have to go back and collect what you had. You just respawn three minutes before dying without a scratch. In ZombiU you'll have to fight at least two zombies without equipment. Way worse than a checkpoint. #3.1.3 Agree(3) | Disagree(0) | Report gamingGod123 1220d ago | Spam Add comment You need to be registered to add comments.

The need for family therapy has been growing. Whether that be because of the increase in blended families or a new openness to resolving family issues, there are many techniques that therapy can offer to rebuild familiar bonds. Families often get stuck in a cycle of negative thoughts and behaviors and when each person can recognize their role in the toxic pattern, they have the power to interrupt it.
Addiction not only affects the patient, but also those who love them. Retreat's Family Education Program is designed to educate loved ones about the disease of addiction and the dynamics it creates. The goal is to facilitate and promote healthy communication skills that will lead to regaining trust and healing relationships through the process of treatment and recovery.
Attendance will be scheduled through the Primary Therapist. Once family members have attended the Family Education Program, a family session may be scheduled with the Primary Therapist.
Each person in a family is impacted by the dynamics of that family. A systems approach that conceptualizes the issue(s) as a family, not individual, concern, strengthens the couple alliance, increases the effectiveness of communication, and defines healthy boundaries can help break the cycle of shame and blame, increase healthy engagement and promote behavioral change.
Do you have a family issue that is so overwhelming that you do not know where to turn or how to handle it? Issues could include, but are not limited to, family feuds, the coming out process, and family members that are emotionally cut off from each other. I will compassionately help you and your family effectively navigate these issues and help you move past the stress and gain insight, understanding, and increased communication.
As the President of the Pennsylvania Association for Marriage and Family Therapy, I can attest to the power of family therapy. When more people are engaged in the therapy process, dynamic change happens. Families are beautiful, complicated systems with individual personalities who sometimes have opposing needs (think parents who need to keep their teens safe and teenagers who need to explore the boundaries to learn about their abilities). I work with many families and have witnessed incredible changes. Tense, awkward, conflictual relationships transform into respectful, playful, and warm relationships. Home really can be a soft place to land.
Families come in all forms especially in our changing times. The stresses of life show up in our families lives. Families change over time. Dealing with young children is different than a family with teenagers or no children at all. We need to negotiate these changes in our families. At REACH Counseling we believe in the strength of families and helping families to communicate and connect at a deeper level. We specialize in exploring what intergenerational patterns are affecting your family, how you may be dealing with transitions and how you can make your family strong.
If you are in Pennsylvania and seek assistance with parenting and extended family, or perhaps you are dealing with issues in your children, or trying to work out harmony in a blended family, family counseling New Holland PAcan help. Theravive is the best source for effective New Holland PA family therapy in Pennsylvania. A professional New Holland PA family therapist has training and expertise in family dynamics both in and outside the home and can help resolve toxic and broken relationships. Please contact a New Holland, PA family counselor to begin your new commitment to beneficial change.
Welcome to our network of family therapists in New Holland. Strife and turmoil in the home, or with extended family, can damage many of our relationships. Family counseling New Holland, PA with a licensed and skilled family counselor can help find common ground, and begin restoration and healing. We hope that you will contact any one of our New Holland family counselors below for more information and to book an appointment.
Our purpose is to help people everywhere find great counselors and psychologists. Everyone can have a new start in life.
Theravive does not provide medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment.

In the Crease: Can you trust Brodeur?
Weekly news, notes and rankings on fantasy hockey goalies
Updated: March 4, 2010, 3:58 PM ETBy Tim Kavanagh | Special to ESPN.com
NHL trade deadline day was not as exciting as usual, mainly because most of the big deals happened prior to the pre-Olympics deadline. But it was a performance at the Games from a certain top 'tender that has many more fantasy owners worried, anyhow.
While Ryan Miller was busy introducing himself to the folks that normally don't watch Buffalo Sabres games by earning tournament MVP honors, Martin Brodeur struggled through two games, and was lifted for Roberto Luongo as the medal ...
