The people who fought a megaport on North Carolina's coast are in the early stages of trying to preserve much of the same area along the lower Cape Fear River.
Mike Rice and Toby Bronstein of the nonprofit Save the Cape have leased office space in Southport for their effort to protect roughly 25,000 acres from development. They point to the Cape Hatteras National Seashore as an area that's worked under similar circumstances.
They face opposition from the Brunswick County Economic Development Commission. Executive Director Jim Bradshaw says the area should be developed for industry. The state ports authority says it has no immediate plans for the 600 acres bought for the port.

Shear Genius: 1940′s Hair
March 03, 2010 09:38 PM by Lisa Princ
Tonight on a brand new episode of Shear Genius on Bravo, the seven remaining contestants continue to battle it out as they get one step closer to the grand prize. With some surprise twists thrown at them, which contestants will have what it takes to make the cut above the rest? And who will be cut this week? Keep reading for all the details!
For their short cut challenge tonight on Shear Genius on Bravo, the contestants are greeted not only by Camila, but also by Moulay Yacoubi, master stylist and expert of the dry cut technique. The contestants are put to the dry cut hair challenge tonight when they are asked to give their models, a straight, graduated bob…easy enough right? Well, they thought so until their models came out with long, curly, frizzy hair…this is going to be one tough challenge for the hair stylists.
While most of the contestants did fairly well, Brig could not stop cutting and cutting. She insisted on coloring and even brought the electric razor to her model's hair. Moulay even thought she butchered her model's hair and I have to agree with him there. April also did not do what was asked of her as she had left curls in her model's hair. When Moulay confronted her about it, she went off on a rant to him that she hates bobs and would send a client elsewhere for one…..wow, that's great customer service there.
The top two in the short hair challenge on Shear Genius on Bravo were Janine and Matthew, which irritated Brig to no end. This girl is already grating on my last nerve…her comedy about her "red" hair was not funny in the least. While Moulay loved both of Janine and Matthew's hairstyles, he deemed Janine the winner of the challenge, allowing her to have first choice of models in the next challenge. Remember, Brian also has immunity in the next challenge after his win last week.
Now it was time for their elimination challenge on Shear Genius on Bravo and Camila brought out a group of millitary wives in which the stylists would give a 1940′s pinup hairstyle to, and then the models would be sent to have their makeup and fashion done in 1940′s style. The millitary wives would be sending a photo and video once they were dressed up as 1940′s pinup models to their husbands who are serving oversees. Janine got to choose her model and the remaining contestants each chose a photo of their army husband and matched them with their wives.
Janine who did so well in the first challenge, completely blew this challenge and ended up just throwing her model's hair up, while Matthew pulled off a perfect 1940′s pinup look as did Brig. Brian let us down also, probably because he knew he was safe, but it was still disappointing none the less. Amy barely did anything with her model and when she was done it looked more like it was waiting to finished with half curls and roots showing. April had a gorgeous model with even more gorgeous hair and she also dropped the ball with a lazy style. Jon's style was ok but not stand out gorgeous.
Matthew and Brig were the top two in this challenge on Shear Genius on Bravo, and Janine, Amy and April were in the bottom three. Brig was deemed the winner this week by the judges which just thrilled her. Janine was sent to safety and that left us with Amy and April, who stood their nervously as they waited the results. Ultimately, it was Amy who be going home this week and would not be Shear Genius.
Tune in next Wednesday at 10 pm EST to an all new episode of Shear Genius on Bravo.

Zach Galifianakis is Married
ZACH GALIFIANAKIS got married Saturday on a farm in Vancouver. His new wife is Quinn Lundberg, who runs a charity that helps Third World nations. Zach is 42 . . . Quinn is 29. They've been dating since at least 2010.
--Comedians SARAH SILVERMAN and PATTON OSWALT were among the guests. Rumor has it Zach's "Hangover" co-stars ED HELMS and BRADLEY COOPER were there, too.
Here We Go Again: Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie Are Now Supposedly Getting Married This Coming Weekend
BRAD PITT and ANGELINA JOLIE didn't get married this past weekend. So now the tabloids are saying it's going to happen THIS COMING weekend.
--Supposedly, they've commissioned wedding bands from their jeweler worth about $784,000 each.
--Here's how a British tabloid described them . . . quote, "They are matching rose gold bands with a tablet-cut diamond in them and their vows to each other engraved in them. You can't see it with the naked eye but they both know they're there."
Jeremy Renner Calls the Kardashians "Ridiculous People With Zero Talent"
JEREMY RENNER has joined the growing list of CELEBRITY KARDASHIAN HATERS.
--In an interview with a British newspaper, Jeremy was discussing the pitfalls of fame, when the reporter mentioned the Kardashians. And that set Jeremy off.
--He said, quote, "Oh, all those ridiculous people with zero talent who spend their lives making sure everyone knows their name. Those stupid, stupid people."
--This makes Jeremy the FOURTH actor in recent memory to take a shot at the Kardashian family.
--JON HAMM started the ball rolling when he told "Elle" magazine, quote, "Whether it's Paris Hilton or Kim Kardashian or whoever, stupidity is certainly celebrated.
--"Being [an effing] idiot is a valuable commodity in this culture because you're rewarded significantly."
--Then JONAH HILL joined in when he added, quote, "The fact that the Kardashians could be more popular than a show like 'Mad Men' is disgusting. It's super disgusting to be a part of that culture."
--And then James Bond himself, DANIEL CRAIG, piled on when he told "GQ" magazine, quote, "Look at the Kardashians, they are worth millions. Millions! I don't think they were that badly off to begin with but now look at them.
--"You see that and you think, 'What, you mean all I have to do is behave like [an effing] idiot on television and then you'll pay me millions?' I'm not judging it. Well, I am, obviously."
Taylor Swift Bought a House That is Uncomfortably Close to the Kennedy Compound . . . And She Has a New Single Out
TAYLOR SWIFT bought a $4.9 million house located ACROSS THE STREET from the Kennedy Compound in Hyannis Port, Massachusetts. That's a little creepy given she's rumored to be dating CONOR KENNEDY.
--Naturally, the house is huge. It has 13 rooms, several gardens, an arbor, a brick patio with fireplace, a farmhouse kitchen and seven bedrooms.
--Speaking of Taylor Swift: She did that video chat yesterday . . . and announced that her new album is called "Red" . . . and it's going to drop October 22nd.
--And it sounds like she's covering the same old themes. She said, quote, "[The songs] are all pretty much about . . . the tumultuous . . . semi-toxic relationships I've experienced in the last two years. In my mind all of those emotions are red.
--"I'm trying not to be too cryptic with it but I'm also trying to not give it all away . . . hiding little codes in lyrics."
--She also premiered the new single from the album. It's called "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together" . . . and it's for sale right now on iTunes and GooglePlay.
Jon Stewart Gave Robert Pattinson Ice Cream on the "Daily Show" Last Night
ROBERT PATTINSON made his first post-scandal appearance on "The Daily Show" last night, and it was a little awkward, but definitely entertaining. And Rob actually did really well considering the circumstances.
--JON STEWART started the interview off by breaking out the Ben and Jerry's ice cream. And he said, quote, "We're just a couple-a gals talking."
--They did reference the KRISTEN STEWART thing for the first few minutes, without actually saying her name.
--Pattinson admitted he didn't really know what to say because, quote, "I'm cheap, I didn't hire a publicist."
--The closest anyone came to making a direct comment about the scandal was when Stewart, in a "sassy chick" kind of voice, said, quote, "Boy, you are better off! Kick her to the curb!"
--Rob was actually booed OUTSIDE the studio, because he didn't get out of his car to meet with his waiting fans.
--But he did sign autographs later that night at the Museum of Modern Art. And he told fans, quote, "Thank you, guys, for being here."
(--Rob is doing press right now for his next movie, "Cosmopolis", which comes out in limited release this Friday. Tomorrow, he'll be on "Good Morning America", and he's also doing a 30-minute interview with MTV.com on Thursday night.)
Miley Cyrus Will Guest Star as a "Love Interest" for Angus T. Jones' Character on "Two and a Half Men"
MILEY CYRUS will guest star on "Two and a Half Men" this coming season. She's playing a "love interest" for Jake, ANGUS T. JONES' character.
--According to the "Hollywood Reporter", her character is described as "a sexy new girl in town with a comedic streak." It's unclear if this is just a one-episode thing . . . or if she'll stick around for multiple episodes.
"The Price Is Right" Is on the Hunt for a Male Model
"The Price Is Right" is holding a contest to find its first MALE MODEL . . . but unfortunately, the winning guy will only appear on the show for ONE WEEK.
--A casting call will be held in Los Angeles on August 30th, where the dudes will be judged on stuff like "verbal skills, posing and ability to properly showcase a product."
--The finalists will appear in a "five-episode web series" on the show's YouTube channel, then fans will vote for the winner, and that guy will appear on the show the week of October 15th.
Blake Lively is a Liar! She Was Spotted Going to the Gym With Ryan Reynolds
Less than one month ago, BLAKE LIVELY said this . . . "I don't exercise, but I will start one day. I'm 24 now, so I guess I've been very, very lucky that it doesn't show that I like to eat. I should probably start working out I guess!"
--Well, I'm here to tell you that Blake Lively is a LIAR! On Sunday she and her boyfriend RYAN REYNOLDS were spotted going to a gym in Bedford, New York . . . where they have a home together.

Jack Vettriano, one of Britain's most popular and successful living artists has been nicknamed "The People's Painter." Born and raised in a Scottish mining town, Vettriano intended to work underground as a mining engineer until a girlfriend gave him a set of paints and his career sharply detoured into art. Needing to feel emotionally uncomfortable to create his edgy, atmospheric dramas, the self-taught Vettriano often listens to Leonard Cohen's requiems while he works. Known for toiling tirelessly until a painting is completed, Vettriano has sold more works than Dali, Monet and Van Gogh, and his sales set a record at Scotland Sotheby's.

The Office of the Controller and Auditor general has advised the government to institute a law to instruct public institutions to surrender unclaimed assets to the Treasury.
CAG Ludovick Utouh in his annual general report on the audit of public institutions and other bodies for the 2011/2012 financial year said there were unclaimed assets which have stayed for a long period of time by respective beneficiaries who may not be traced.
He stressed that such assets must be surrendered to the Treasury as government revenue as in the case with deposits that have remained unutilised for more than five years "and are no longer to be utilised."
Utouh said in his report that such unclaimed funds could be deposited in the proposed investment fund to be used as a sourced of investment finance.
He said there were people who had small dividends in various institutions but were not claiming because they are of small amount and such amounts when put together they made something big.
"We need such dividends to be collected by the government and not individual institutions. We have been seeing individual institutions listing them as if it is their properties," Utouh said, adding, "they are doing so because there is no law that compells them to surrender to the same to the government."
He mentioned such funds as deposits by banks customers, unclaimed shares with Dar es Salaam Stock exchange, and statutory deductions in respect of terminated or deceased employees that continue to be remitted to the social security funds, health insurance fund and dividends accruing from listed companies with the bourse.
In another development, the CAG said lack of awareness on part of Tanzanian companies is the cause for the DSE to have limited number of listed firms.
He advised the government to pass a law requiring potential companies in the country to be listed in the bourse.
He named some of the companies that must be listed as those dealing with mining, cement and beverages.
"By having a big number of players, the stock market can be a good source to finance the country's development through sale of shares," said Utouh in his report.

Grief, Bereavement, and Coping With Loss (PDQ®): Supportive care - Patient Information [NCI]
This information is produced and provided by the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The information in this topic may have changed since it was written. For the most current information, contact the National Cancer Institute via the Internet web site at http://cancer.gov or call 1-800-4-CANCER.
Grief, Bereavement, and Coping With Loss
People cope with the loss of a loved one in different ways. Most people who experience grief will cope well. Others will have severe grief and may need treatment. There are many things that can affect the grief process of someone who has lost a loved one to cancer. They include:
- The personality of the person who is grieving.
- The relationship with the person who died.
- The loved one's cancer experience and the way the disease progressed.
- The grieving person's coping skills and mental health history.
- The amount of support the grieving person has.
- The grieving person's cultural and religious background.
- The grieving person's social and financial position.
This summary defines grief and bereavement and describes the different types of grief reactions, treatments for grief, important issues for grieving children, and cultural responses to grief and loss. It is intended as a resource to help caregivers of cancer patients.
Bereavement and Grief
Bereavement is the period of sadness after losing a loved one through death.
Grief and mourning occur during the period of bereavement. Grief and mourning are closely related. Mourning is the way we show grief in public. The way people mourn is affected by beliefs, religious practices, and cultural customs. People who are grieving are sometimes described as bereaved.
Grief is the normal process of reacting to the loss.
Grief is the emotional response to the loss of a loved one. Common grief reactions include the following:
- Feeling emotionally numb.
- Feeling unable to believe the loss occurred.
- Feeling anxiety from the distress of being separated from the loved one.
- Mourning along with depression.
- A feeling of acceptance.
Types of Grief Reactions
Anticipatory Grief
Anticipatory grief may occur when a death is expected.
Anticipatory grief occurs when a death is expected, but before it happens. It may be felt by the families of people who are dying and by the person dying. Anticipatory grief helps family members get ready emotionally for the loss. It can be a time to take care of unfinished business with the dying person, such as saying "I love you" or "I forgive you."
Like grief that occurs after the death of a loved one, anticipatory grief involves mental, emotional, cultural, and social responses. However, anticipatory grief is different from grief that occurs after the death. Symptoms of anticipatory grief include the following:
- Depression.
- Feeling a greater than usual concern for the dying person.
- Imagining what the loved one's death will be like.
- Getting ready emotionally for what will happen after the death.
Anticipatory grief may help the family but not the dying person.
Anticipatory grief helps family members cope with what is to come. For the patient who is dying, anticipatory grief may be too much to handle and may cause him or her to withdraw from others.
Anticipatory grief does not always occur.
Some researchers report that anticipatory grief is rare. Studies showed that periods of acceptance and recovery usually seen during grief are not common before the patient's actual death. The bereaved may feel that trying to accept the loss of a loved one before death occurs may make it seem that the dying patient has been abandoned.
Also, grief felt before the death will not decrease the grief felt afterwards or make it last a shorter time.
Normal Grief
Normal or common grief begins soon after a loss and symptoms go away over time.
During normal grief, the bereaved person moves toward accepting the loss and is able to continue normal day-to-day life even though it is hard to do. Common grief reactions include:
- Emotional numbness, shock, disbelief, or denial. These often occur right after the death, especially if the death was not expected.
- Anxiety over being separated from the loved one. The bereaved may wish to bring the person back and become lost in thoughts of the deceased. Images of death may occur often in the person's everyday thoughts.
- Distress that leads to crying; sighing; having dreams, illusions, and hallucinations of the deceased; and looking for places or things that were shared with the deceased.
- Anger.
- Periods of sadness, loss of sleep, loss of appetite, extreme tiredness, guilt, and loss of interest in life. Day-to-day living may be affected.
In normal grief, symptoms will occur less often and will feel less severe as time passes. Recovery does not happen in a set period of time. For most bereaved people having normal grief, symptoms lessen between 6 months and 2 years after the loss.
Many bereaved people will have grief bursts or pangs.
Grief bursts or pangs are short periods (20-30 minutes) of very intense distress. Sometimes these bursts are caused by reminders of the deceased person. At other times they seem to happen for no reason.
Grief is sometimes described as a process that has stages.
There are several theories about how the normal grief process works. Experts have described different types and numbers of stages that people go through as they cope with loss. At this time, there is not enough information to prove that one of these theories is more correct than the others.
Although many bereaved people have similar responses as they cope with their losses, there is no typical grief response. The grief process is personal.
Complicated Grief
There is no right or wrong way to grieve, but studies have shown that there are patterns of grief that are different from the most common. This has been called complicated grief.
Complicated grief reactions that have been seen in studies include:
- Minimal grief reaction: A grief pattern in which the person has no, or only a few, signs of distress or problems that occur with other types of grief.
- Chronic grief: A grief pattern in which the symptoms of common grief last for a much longer time than usual. These symptoms are a lot like ones that occur with major depression, anxiety, or post-traumatic stress.
Factors that Affect Complicated Grief
Researchers study grief reactions to try to find out what might increase the chance that complicated grief will occur.
Studies have looked at how the following factors affect the grief response:
Whether the death is expected or unexpected.
It may seem that any sudden, unexpected loss might lead to more difficult grief. However, studies have found that bereaved people with high self-esteem and/or a feeling that they have control over life are likely to have a normal grief reaction even after an unexpected loss. Bereaved people with low self-esteem and/or a sense that life cannot be controlled are more likely to have complicated grief after an unexpected loss. This includes more depression and physical problems.
The personality of the bereaved.
Studies have found that people with certain personality traits are more likely to have long-lasting depression after a loss. These include people who are very dependent on the loved one (such as a spouse), and people who deal with distress by thinking about it all the time.
The religious beliefs of the bereaved.
Some studies have shown that religion helps people cope better with grief. Other studies have shown it does not help or causes more distress. Religion seems to help people who go to church often. The positive effect on grief may be because church-goers have more social support.
Whether the bereaved is male or female.
In general, men have more problems than women do after a spouse's death. Men tend to have worse depression and more health problems than women do after the loss. Some researchers think this may be because men have less social support after a loss.
The age of the bereaved.
In general, younger bereaved people have more problems after a loss than older bereaved people do. They have more severe health problems, grief symptoms, and other mental and physical symptoms. Younger bereaved people, however, may recover more quickly than older bereaved people do, because they have more resources and social support.
The amount of social support the bereaved has.
Lack of social support increases the chance of having problems coping with a loss. Social support includes the person's family, friends, neighbors, and community members who can give psychological, physical, and financial help. After the death of a close family member, many people have a number of related losses. The death of a spouse, for example, may cause a loss of income and changes in lifestyle and day-to-day living. These are all related to social support.
Treatment of Grief
Normal grief may not need to be treated.
Most bereaved people work through grief and recover within the first 6 months to 2 years. Researchers are studying whether bereaved people experiencing normal grief would be helped by formal treatment. They are also studying whether treatment might prevent complicated grief in people who are likely to have it.
For people who have serious grief reactions or symptoms of distress, treatment may be helpful.
Complicated grief may be treated with different types of psychotherapy (talk therapy).
Researchers are studying the treatment of mental, emotional, social, and behavioral symptoms of grief. Treatment methods include discussion, listening, and counseling.
Complicated grief treatment (CGT) is a type of grief therapy that was helpful in a clinical trial.
Complicated grief treatment (CGT) has three phases:
- The first phase includes talking about the loss and setting goals toward recovery. The bereaved are taught to work on these two things.
- The second phase includes coping with the loss by retelling the story of the death. This helps bereaved people who try not to think about their loss.
- The last phase looks at progress that has been made toward recovery and helps the bereaved make future plans. The bereaved's feelings about ending the sessions are also discussed.
In a clinical trial of patients with complicated grief, CGT was compared to interpersonal psychotherapy (IPT). IPT is a type of psychotherapy that focuses on the person's relationships with others and is helpful in treating depression. In patients with complicated grief, the CGT was more helpful than IPT.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) for complicated grief was helpful in a clinical trial.
Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) works with the way a person's thoughts and behaviors are connected. CBT helps the patient learn skills that change attitudes and behaviors by replacing negative thoughts and changing the rewards of certain behaviors.
A clinical trial compared CBT to counseling for complicated grief. Results showed that patients treated with CBT had more improvement in symptoms and general mental distress than those in the counseling group.
Depression related to grief is sometimes treated with drugs.
There is no standard drug therapy for depression that occurs with grief. Some health care professionals think depression is a normal part of grief and doesn't need to be treated. Whether to treat grief-related depression with drugs is up to the patient and the health care professional to decide.
Clinical trials of antidepressants for depression related to grief have found that the drugs can help relieve depression. However, they give less relief and take longer to work than they do when used for depression that is not related to grief.
Children and Grief
A child's grief process is different from an adult's.
Children do not react to loss in the same ways as adults. These are some of the ways children's grief is different:
- Children may seem to show grief only once in a while and for short times. This may be because a child is not able to feel strong emotions for long periods of time. A grieving child may be sad one minute and playful the next. Often families think the child doesn't really understand the loss or has gotten over it quickly. Usually, neither is true. Children's minds protect them from what is too much for them to handle emotionally.
- Mourning is a process that continues over years in children. Feelings of loss may occur again and again as the child gets older. This is common at important times, such as going to camp, graduating from school, getting married, or having children.
- Grieving children may not show their feelings as openly as adults. Grieving children may throw themselves into activities instead of withdrawing or showing grief.
- Children cannot think through their thoughts and feelings like adults. Children have trouble putting their feelings about grief into words. Strong feelings of anger and fears of death or being left alone may show up in the behavior of grieving children. Children often play death games as a way of working out their feelings and worries. These games give children a safe way to express their feelings.
- Grieving adults may withdraw and not talk to other people about the loss. Children, however, often talk to the people around them (even strangers) to see how they react and to get clues for how they should respond to the loss.
- Children may ask confusing questions. For example, a child may ask, "I know grandpa died, but when will he come home?" This is a way of testing reality and making sure the story of the death has not changed.
Several factors can affect how a child will cope with grief.
Although grief is different for each child, several factors can affect the grief process of a child:
- The child's age and stage of development.
- The child's personality.
- The child's previous experiences with death.
- The child's relationship with the deceased.
- The cause of death.
- The way the child acts and communicates within the family.
- How stable the family life is after the loss.
- How the child continues to be cared for.
- Whether the child is given the chance to share and express feelings and memories.
- How the parents cope with stress.
- Whether the child has ongoing relationships with other adults.
Children at different stages of development have different understandings of death and the events near death.
Infants do not recognize death, but feelings of loss and separation are part of developing an awareness of death. Children who have been separated from their mother may be sluggish and quiet, may not respond to a smile or a coo, may have physical symptoms (such as weight loss), and may sleep less.
Age 2-3 years
Children at this age often confuse death with sleep and may feel anxiety as early as age 3. They may stop talking and appear to feel overall distress.
Age 3-6 years
At this age children see death as a kind of sleep; the person is alive, but only in a limited way. The child cannot fully separate death from life. Children may think that the person is still living, even though he or she might have been buried. The child may ask questions about the deceased (for example, how does the deceased eat, go to the toilet, breathe, or play?). Young children know that death is physical, but think it is not final.
The child's understanding of death may involve "magical thinking". For example, the child may think that his or her thoughts can cause another person to become sick or die.
Grieving children under 5 may have trouble eating, sleeping, and controlling the bladder and bowel.
Age 6-9 years
Children at this age are often very curious about death, and may ask questions about what happens to the body when it dies. Death is thought of as a person or spirit separate from the person who was alive, such as a skeleton, ghost, angel, or bogeyman. They may see death as final and scary but as something that happens mostly to old people (and not to themselves).
Grieving children can become afraid of school, have learning problems, show antisocial or aggressive behavior, or become overly worried about their own health and complain of imaginary symptoms. Children this age may either withdraw from others or become too attached and clingy.
Boys often become more aggressive and destructive (for example, acting out in school), instead of showing their sadness openly.
When one parent dies, children may feel abandoned by both the deceased parent and the living parent, whose grief may make him or her unable to emotionally support the child.
Age 9 and older
Children aged 9 and older know that death cannot be avoided and do not see it as a punishment. By the time a child is 12 years old, death is seen as final and something that happens to everyone.

Most children who have had a loss have three common worries about death.
Children coping with a loss often have these three questions:
Did I make the death happen?
Children often think that they have "magical powers". If a mother is irritated and says, "You'll be the death of me" and later dies, her child may wonder if he or she actually caused the mother's death. Also, when children argue, one may say (or think), "I wish you were dead." If that child dies, the surviving child may think that those thoughts caused the death.
Is it going to happen to me?
The death of another child may be very hard for a child. If the child thinks that the death may have been prevented (by either a parent or a doctor) the child may fear that he or she could also die.
Who is going to take care of me?
Since children depend on parents and other adults to take care of them, a grieving child may wonder who will care for him or her after the death of an important person.
Talking honestly about the death and including the child in rituals may help the grieving child.
Explain the death and answer questions.
Talking about death helps children learn to cope with loss. When talking about death with children, describe it simply. Each child should be told the truth using as much detail as he or she is able to understand. Answer questions in language the child can understand.
Children often worry that they will also die, or that their surviving parent will go away. They need to be told that they will be safe and taken care of.
Use the correct language.
When talking with the child about death, include the correct words, such as "cancer," "died," and "death." Using other words or phrases (for example, "he passed away," "he is sleeping," or "we lost him") can confuse children and cause them to misunderstand.
Include the child in planning and attending memorial ceremonies.
When a death occurs, children may feel better if they are included in planning and attending memorial ceremonies. These events help children remember the loved one. Children should not be forced to be involved in these ceremonies, but encourage them to take part when they feel comfortable doing so. Before a child attends a funeral, wake, or memorial service, give the child a full explanation of what to expect. A familiar adult or family member may help with this if the surviving parent's grief makes him or her unable to.

Cultural Responses to Grief and Loss
Cultures have different ways of coping with death.
Grief felt for the loss of loved ones occurs in people of all ages and cultures. Different cultures, however, have different myths and mysteries about death that affect the attitudes, beliefs, and practices of the bereaved.
Individual, personal experiences of grief are similar in different cultures.
The ways in which people of all cultures feel grief personally are similar. This has been found to be true even though different cultures have different mourning ceremonies and traditions to express grief.
Cultural issues that affect people who are dealing with the loss of a loved one include rituals, beliefs, and roles.
Helping family members cope with the death of a loved one includes showing respect for the family's culture and the ways they honor the death. The following questions may help caregivers learn what is needed by the person's culture:
- What are the cultural rituals for coping with dying, the deceased person's body, and honoring the death?
- What are the family's beliefs about what happens after death?
- What does the family feel is a normal expression of grief and the acceptance of the loss?
- What does the family consider to be the roles of each family member in handling the death?
- Are certain types of death less acceptable (for example, suicide), or are certain types of death especially hard for that culture (for example, the death of a child)?
Death, grief, and mourning are normal life events. All cultures have practices that best meet their needs for dealing with death. Caregivers who understand the ways different cultures respond to death can help patients of these cultures work through their own normal grieving process.

About PDQ
PDQ is a comprehensive cancer database available on NCI's Web site.
PDQ is the National Cancer Institute's (NCI's) comprehensive cancer information database. Most of the information contained in PDQ is available online at NCI's Web site. PDQ is provided as a service of the NCI. The NCI is part of the National Institutes of Health, the federal government's focal point for biomedical research.
PDQ contains cancer information summaries.
The PDQ database contains summaries of the latest published information on cancer prevention, detection, genetics, treatment, supportive care, and complementary and alternative medicine. Most summaries are available in two versions. The health professional versions provide detailed information written in technical language. The patient versions are written in easy-to-understand, nontechnical language. Both versions provide current and accurate cancer information.
Images in the PDQ summaries are used with permission of the author(s), artist, and/or publisher for use within the PDQ summaries only. Permission to use images outside the context of PDQ information must be obtained from the owner(s) and cannot be granted by the National Cancer Institute. Information about using the illustrations in the PDQ summaries, along with many other cancer-related images, are available in Visuals Online, a collection of over 2,000 scientific images.
The PDQ cancer information summaries are developed by cancer experts and reviewed regularly.
Editorial Boards made up of experts in oncology and related specialties are responsible for writing and maintaining the cancer information summaries. The summaries are reviewed regularly and changes are made as new information becomes available. The date on each summary ("Date Last Modified") indicates the time of the most recent change.
PDQ also contains information on clinical trials.
A clinical trial is a study to answer a scientific question, such as whether one method of treating symptoms is better than another. Trials are based on past studies and what has been learned in the laboratory. Each trial answers certain scientific questions in order to find new and better ways to help cancer patients. Some patients have symptoms caused by cancer treatment or by the cancer itself. During supportive care clinical trials, information is collected about how well new ways to treat symptoms of cancer work. The trials also study side effects of treatment and problems that come up during or after treatment. If a clinical trial shows that a new treatment is better than one currently being used, the new treatment may become "standard." Patients who have symptoms related to cancer treatment may want to think about taking part in a clinical trial.
Listings of clinical trials are included in PDQ and are available online at NCI's Web site. Descriptions of the trials are available in health professional and patient versions. Many cancer doctors who take part in clinical trials are also listed in PDQ. For more information, call the Cancer Information Service 1-800-4-CANCER (1-800-422-6237).

Neji Chronicles (ネジ外伝, Neji Gaiden) is episode 192 of the Naruto: Shippūden anime.
Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi interviewed Neji about Naruto's actions three years prior, he narrated when Konoha was invaded during the final Chūnin Exams. Neji tells them how Hinata was kidnapped by Kumo spectators, who saw the invasion as an opportunity to take the Byakugan. He is tasked by his grandfather, who failed to beat the captors, to rescue Hinata no matter what. Tenten accompanied him, saying it was too much for him, as well as Kiba and Akamaru, which claimed that Hinata is his teammate. On their way, Neji stopped, and detects a trap. They were forced to leave Tenten to take care of the trap and continued their way. Hinata awakens and attacks one of her captors, and Kiba made the ambush, upon the ambush, Neji disguises himself as Kiba and takes out one of the captors. The other, knowing that his opponent is a Hyūga, fights him with long range attacks using Earth Release, not allowing Neji to use Gentle Fist techniques on him. When Neji is about to receive a fatal attack, Hiashi protects him and proceeds to defeat the other captor. He said that Hinata is his precious daughter, and him, a memento of his late brother. Tenten was with Kō and Kiba apologises to Neji, which he accepted. Konohamaru, Udon and Moegi complain that the story has nothing do to with Naruto. Neji says that if Naruto hadn't beat him, this might never have happened, remembering that he chose to rescue Hinata because Naruto changed him.
- The episode is likely the reference to the omake when Neji demanded to have his own special due to his lack of screentime.

Nurturing our most important natural resource – people
We consider a strong focus on training as a solid investment. Over the years we have watched the calibre of Chaa Creek's services grow along with the level of skill and job satisfaction of our staff, and there is no doubt that our guests benefit from skilled-up, contented employees who enjoy their work and see opportunities to further themselves. Many of our supervisory and management positions have been filled in-house by staff moving up the ladder here at Chaa Creek or in other resorts throughout Belize. Many former employees have even branched out to become tourism entrepreneurs in their own right, and this is something we support and encourage.

- "Stay the fuck away - stay the fuck away!! I'm the best rapper in the universe! I'll jump! I'll jump! Woah! Wa-ah-ah!"
- — Madd Dogg.
Madd Dogg is a mission in Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas given to protagonist Carl Johnson by rapper Madd Dogg from the Royal Casino, a casino located along The Strip in Las Venturas, San Andreas.
Carl comes to the south side of the casino, checking on somebody who is about to jump of the roof of the casino. One of the people says that the guy is Madd Dogg, a former successful rapper. Carl then tries to make him not jump off of the roof, but Madd Dogg says his life doesn't mean anything anymore. He has lost everything, from his money to his fame. Carl once again tries to make him reconsider about jumping, but Madd Dogg ignores Carl's statement. Carl then realizes he needs to save Madd Dogg.
Carl gets in a nearby Walton and parks near the casino. He then eventually catches Madd Dogg in the back of the truck, which is filled with wooden crates. Carl then takes Madd Dogg to a rehabilitation center. Carl suggests that he be his new manager, then Madd Dogg could probably go back to recording again.
Mission objectives
In order to complete the mission the player must:
- Use the pickup truck around the corner to rescue Madd Dogg
- Catch Madd Dogg when he jumps
- Drive Madd Dogg to the hospital CAREFULLY. Each bump reduces his chance of survival
- The reward for this mission is an increase in respect. The mission Saint Mark's Bistro is unlocked, but only if the missions Freefall, Green Goo and High Noon are done.
- If the player uses the "pedestrians attack each other" cheat before this mission, Madd Dogg will immediately jump after the opening cutscene, making this mission impossible to complete. If it happens to you, the only way to fix it is by using a save game editor such as hmvartak's online glitch repair tool, this is one of a few missions to not work correctly if too many cheats are used. The others are Burning Desire, Tanker Commander, 555 We Tip and, in some cases, Photo Opportunity.
- After Carl catches Madd Dogg, the on-screen instructions say to get him to the hospital. This is misleading as Carl isn't supposed to take Madd Dogg to the main Las Venturas hospital, but rather to the Ivory Towers Drive-Thru Mental Clinic, located west of Emerald Isle.

[ADOBE® TV] [tv.adobe.com] Adobe Audition CS5.5 is the ultimate recording, mixing, mastering, and editing application that also features a fast, flexible round-trip workflow with Adobe Premiere Pro including some other new features like our new high-performance audio playback engine, faster start up, more responsive playback and editing, and the ability to work concurrently on multiple files and sessions--not to mention the ability to exchange projects with other NLEs and DAWs via OMF and FCP XLM Interchange--really makes this application the complete audio package. And the best part is it's now also available on the Mac. So what you're seeing right now is this version on the Mac. I'm going to take you through some of the interface and some of the features inside Adobe Audition CS5.5. Now one of the core things in Audition is that we have a Waveform View and a Multitrack View. Currently we're in the Multitrack View and you can see that we have all of our tracks layed out--we've got our Mute, Solo, and Record buttons. We can play a bit of this back for you, and you can see we have our video display here [Plays clip] and of course, you can navigate this interface very easily. The nice thing is, just like with Premiere, just like with After Effects, the interface panels work exactly the same. You can easily resize tracks, either individually or globally. You can also scan through the entire interface very quickly with this portion bar up at the top. You can switch over to your Mixer View, and if you wanted something like your Multitrack and your Mixer side-by-side, you can simply grab the panel, dock it here, and now you've got your Multitrack Mixer and effectively your Multitrack Editor living side-by-side allowing you to make very quick, very easy changes--let's move this back. Now when it comes time to actually mixing audio inside Audition, and if we're taking audio from Premiere Pro, we follow several different methods. Now if we were coming directly from an editing environment, and if we're a video editor, we might be thinking in terms of Clip Effects. Clip Effects literally are applied to individual clips. So if I wanted to add something like, let's say, a reverb to this voice here, I can twirl down here, choose Reverb, go to something like Studio Reverb--let's go ahead and solo this voice track--this dialogue track--like this--quick playback, [Plays clip] and you can see now that we've just added, in real time, a reverb to simply, only that clip. Now if we wanted to apply a reverb to all the tracks--to all of the vocal clips-to all of the dialogue clips in this track--we would then go to Track Effects, and this more commonly follows the way that most DAWs--Digital Audio Workstations--work. So you've got two different methods of how you actually apply effects, again, making it very easy no matter what environment you're coming from. Now, similarily, if you wanted to actually start editing this, we can nondestructively edit in the Multitrack View. Remember, that Audition has two editing methods. When you're working in the Multitrack, we're doing everything nondestructively. But if we want to destructively apply processes and filters or something like noise reduction to a clip, we can double click on it, bringing it into the Waveform View, and now, any process that we apply is actually destructive--we're actually changing the original file, and of course, we can save copies if we want to. Now to just to show you a little bit--again, we have the portion bar at the top here so that we can navigate through the interface--you'll notice that we have things like fade handles so that we can fade the ins and the outs of the file. This is just quick access to common everyday tasks for for you audio clips, and you'll see that it'll actually re-draw the waveform as we make these changes. There's your Fade in--there's your Fade out. You've also got your on clip volume so we can visually readjust the volume here. And again, you've got the ability to add your effects and so on and so forth. Now if we take a listen to this dialogue clip, [Plays clip] we can hear that there's lots of noise on this, and this is where I might want to use and leverage some of the noise reduction filters in Audition. This is really one of its biggest strengths, and it's very easy to do. Now we can do it sort of in the traditional way where we try and find a piece of noise--maybe something like this--and we highlight it, and from there, we take a sample--and you can see Capture Noise Print available in the right-click contextual menu. However, we have something called the Spectral Frequency Display. The Spectral Frequency Display allows you to see frequency over time where we have frequency along our Y Vertical Access, and time along the X. And now, as we actually zoom in, we can very clearly see--well, in these sections down here--clearly, this is where people are talking, and where he's paused, you can see nothing--just dead space. So what this enables us to do is actually see where the noise lives, so that we can selectively and very accurately choose just the sections that are noise only to get the best profiles that we can de-noise these files. This has been one of the core competencies of Audition for years, it still exists, and again, it's now on the Mac. So I can make a selection--you'll also notice that I'm using Photoshop-style tools, we have our Lasso Selection Tool, Paintbrush, Spot Healing Brush, and the Marquee. For this example, I'll use the Marquee. I can make a selection like this: Right click, capture my noise print, go up to our Effects Menu/Noise Reduction/Process, and now I can begin previewing my noise reduction. The first thing I'll typically do is select the entire file, and then I can adjust my noise reduction sliders here to a specific amount-- let's use about 80% reduction--go ahead and twirl that advance where you'll see we have all different types of settings--I'm going to set this one to around zero-- click Apply, you'll see that it processes very, very quickly. Again, one of the new features of Audition CS5.5. And now when we play this clip back, [Plays clip] the noise is virtually removed. Now remember, what you're seeing here, color equals amplitude. So here's the before with the noise, and you can see all of these bright red amber areas-- that's indicating that there's lots of noise on this clip. If we go ahead and redo the noise reduction, now you can see that they're virtually black. So the way that this works is the brighter the color, or the closer the color is to yellow or white, the louder the amplitude at that particular frequency. So this is all dialogue hovering around 1-2K--it's bright, it's amber, it's loud. The noise that was all that purple-red stuff living in this range here--2K to 10K-- previously it was red and purple, now it's black. The closer it is to black means it's quieter--it's softer. So, visually, we're able to use Photoshop-style tools to remove noise very effectively and accurately. And you can work this way with applying any kind of effect--not just noise reduction. But if you're mastering--if you're wanting to use any one of our numerous compressors or limiters--one of my favorites happens to be the Multiband Compressor. You can choose this--you can actually make a selection in the Frequency space, and only apply the compressor to those select areas very simply. And also, if you wanted to do something like a Healing Spot--let's say that you had a click or a pop--just like the Healing Brush in Photoshop, we can take the Spot Healing Brush here, we can adjust our brush size-- let's size it down to around 15--or maybe even 11--that's fine. And if we don't like this little piece right here, we can simply select it, it processes, and it's gone. Just like in Photoshop, we're using our eyes to do noise reduction, effects processing, all kinds of processes very, very easily. So once again, this is just some of the things that you can do inside the Editor. You'll also notice that you have a portion bar, here, so that you can visually see the Waveform View and the Spectral Frequency Display simultaneously. Now one of the other things that I love about Audition are the diagnostics. It's often been referred to as the After Effects of Audio. And the reason for that is that you have so many different ways to look at and analyze the audio in your clips. One of my favorite things is the Frequency Analysis Panel, which is now also supported in Multitrack as well. This happens to be a mono file, so if we play this back, [Plays clip] you can see that we're getting a real-time analysis of all of the active frequencies--of the amplitude of the frequencies--in this Frequency Analysis Panel. And this can be very usefulif you're trying to track down, again, hum or other kinds of consistent noises that are resonating throughout the entire audio file. But probably my favorite panel, and the one I use on every audio file that I process, is this one here--Amplitude Statistics. Because quite simply, this is going to tell you everything that you need to know about your audio file including peak amplitude, sample values, clip samples, the actual bit depth, the dynamic range, and the RMS amplitude, or more commonly referred to as the loudness. How loud is this? How do we perceive this file? So this is really all the stuff that you need if you're delivering files for broadcasts, if you're delivering files for DVD--you need to know these things. And in a single click, you can access all those settings very easily and make any associated changes. Now when you're working in a video environment, very commonly you might be de-noising or processing or using any one of our many filters. We also even have surround reverb, because remember, you can also process and record and mix in 5.1 Surround and send that media to Premiere Pro. But if you have lots of files like the ones that we see in our Multitrack here, it's quite common that you might want to process all of them with the same effects or the same filters or the same noise reduction, and you can do that leveraging batch processing. Now batch processing on lots of files can often take a lot of time. But one of the things that we've done with our new optimized engine inside of Audition is we allow you to batch process--you'll actually see the status of the files processing--but you can keep on working, and you can work on other sessions while it's doing that. So let's go ahead and actually do that--going to go up to our Edit Menu and choose Batch Process. And now, just like you've seen in the other applications in Production Premium, I can simply take a series of audio files--and let's grab some of these here--some of these clip audio files--let's grab a whole bunch of them and drag and drop them into the Batch Processor. Okay. I've got dozens of them--great. So now we can go into Batch Process, we can apply a favorite, and you'll see that under Favorites, again, we have lots of presets. This is pointing to a lot of common processess--De-Essing--so if you have a lot of dialogue that's very sibilant, this preset here--this favorite--will take care of that. Fade In, Fade Out, Hard Limiting, Normalizing, Removing DC Offsetters, 60 Cycle Hum-- or 50 Cycle Hum, if you're in other parts of the world--you can use and create these favorites to process all of these files simultaneously. So let's just go ahead and normalize all of these to say, minus three. You can choose a file name prefix is so desired or just keep the file names the same. You choose the location where you want them to go. You can choose the format and we'll keep these at Windows PCM Wave. You'll see you also have the options for AIF, MP3, and Quick Time. Choose the format--in this case we'll leave it uncompressed 32-bit floating point. 32-bit floating point is in fact the native file format for Audition. So no matter what you bring in, it's always processing in 32-bit floating point--much like Premiere. Let's go ahead and click okay, and it starts processing. And you can see that it's so fast, it's done! I don't even have time to go to the other sessions--that's how quickly the Batch Processors works. The key here is that you can continue to batch process and work in the background, and you'll see, of course, we have multiple sessions open. So if I want to start working on my Trailer Session, I can pull my video window back up here, scrub through this, let's play it, [Plays clip] we can go to our 5.1 Session, so here we're building out an actual 5.1 multichannel session, we're going to create an Interleaved Multichannel file which we can then leverage in Premiere Pro-- you can see it here and you can see our multichannel metering down below. [Plays clip] But what if we actually want to take all this and use this in another DAW? Or use this in another Editor? Or perhaps we want to bring in content from another DAW or Editor. Well, we can do that, as mentioned earlier, via OMF and FCP XML Interchange. So right here if we go under the Export Menu, you'll see that you have the option to export-- get yor Multitrack's Menu down, the session, FCP XML Interchange or OMF. So whether you're on the Mac or the PC, if you're looking for a power-house audio application that will allow you to record, to mix, to master for CD or Blu-ray, to master for the Web, to master your audio from mobile devices, or to take your session files from other Editors or other DAWs, or Premiere Pro, and fix and master and clean up and restore audio and send it back, you can do all of that in Adobe Audition CS5.5 whether you're on the Mac or the PC--it's all there, it's fast, it's powerful, and it will change the way you work with audio.

I'm working on quite a big map atm. When it's done it will be printed on a large poster, so I get to have a lot of detail. At some point in time I will use it for a fantasy setting I'm also working on, but right now I just enjoy working on it.
I'm working in photoshop and atm most of my layers are just sketch layers reminding me where I want mountains, forests, plains, deserts and so on. I've also put on current and climate zones. It just made it easier for me to get my jungles and desert the right places. I plan on doing the world one continent at a time, so I've included a zoomed in version on the area I'm working on right now.
As a reference here are some links to the brushes I'm using. The map wouldn't be that nice without them.
