Growth Hormone Deficiency FAQs (cont.)
What is a growth disorder?
A growth disorder is any type of problem in infants, children, or teenagers that prevents normal growth. Normal growth depends upon several factors, such as nutrition, genetics, and hormones (chemical messengers of the body) (see Anatomy of the Endocrine System). Hormones are necessary for normal growth and development; they regulate the body's growth, metabolism (the physical and chemical processes of the body), and sexual development and function.
Endocrine (hormonal) causes of growth disorders include thyroid hormone deficiency (hypothyroidism), growth hormone deficiency, hypopituitarism, or other hormone disorders. However, some growth problems are not necessarily growth disorders; normal variants of growth patterns include genetic short height (familial short stature) and slow growth/delayed puberty (constitutional growth delay).
Although growth hormone was originally used to treat growth hormone deficiency (this group of patients respond the best to growth hormone therapy), there have been other conditions for which growth hormone therapy has been approved for use. These include Turner syndrome, chronic renal insufficiency, Prader-Willi syndrome, and children who were small for gestational age and have not caught up in their growth by the age of two years. In 2003 the FDA approved the use of growth hormone for children who have "Idiopathic Short Stature," that is, children who are quite short (more than 2.25 SD below the mean in height), and who are unlikely to have an adult stature in the normal range.

It took a charter bus and a shuttle, but we made it up to Cypress Mountain today for men's snowboard cross finals.
It took a charter bus and a shuttle, but we made it up to Cypress Mountain today for men's snowboard cross finals.
The West Vancouver ski and snowboard venue has had several problems since the start of the Games: transportation issues, wet weather and a lack of concessions for spectators. Most recently, 8,000 snowboard cross general admission tickets were refunded after rain washed away snow and Vanoc said the standing-room area was unsafe.
It's unfortunate because the very video-game worthy sport is fantastic to witness. A big screen shows the majority of the track as snowboarders fly off jumps and rub elbows around corners, all while working in a bit of their personal riding style. Guns N' Roses blasts in the background, and fans in the grandstands get a view of the final jump and finish line. Strategically-placed green Olympic rings make that view picture-perfect.
Sports columnist Jerry Brewer is covering the snowboard cross events, so we caught up with him after Seth Wescott of the U.S. won the gold medal.

Summer is essentially over. Maybe not by the calendar, but certainly when it comes to Hollywood. The "Men In Black 3"s and "The Expendables 2"s have come and gone, and for anyone who likes a mediocre $200 million-budgeted film aimed at teenaged boys, you're out of luck for at least a few months. (Editor's note: Yay.)
Not to say this summer didn't give cinema-goers plenty of nice alternatives, from rare summer studio fare that pleased audiences and (most) critics ("The Dark Knight Rises," "Prometheus," "Magic Mike") to a good dozen arthouse films ("Beasts of the Southern Wild" and "Moonrise Kingdom" perhaps the MVPs in that regard). But fall is a whole other monster. And more often than not, it's a monster that's a good friend to any cinephile.
The final months of 2012's specialty release schedule should easily fulfill the needs of any film lover. There's works from auteurs both international and domestic, a considerable documentary presence, many biopics and the annual plethora of Oscar-bait. And Indiewire has decided to offer the following list of 30 notable titles to watch for.
In addition, IW sorted those 30 and a few dozen extra via the calendar, listing the releases by date and giving each its own page complete with a ton of information (cast, distributor, synopsis, trailer, etc.).
It's more than likely said calendar will find a few notable additions once the Venice and Toronto dust settles. Films like Terrence Malick's "To The Wonder," Brian DePalma's "Passion," Shari Springer Berman and Robert Pulcini "Imogene," and scores of others, remain distributor free. A number of them could find themselves in theaters by year's end, but for now no films without release dates or distributors are included in this list.
Of note: Indiewire's list veers away from studio efforts that very well could be high on one's fall to-see list. Defining what is and is not a "specialty film" is murky at best so we are simply sticking to including any film released from a independent distrubutor or an indie division of a studio. But this rule remains problematic on numerous occasions. Many "studio films" specifically that would have surely been on and perhaps even near the top of this list include Ben Affleck's "Argo," Tom Tykwer, Andy Wachowski and Lana Wachowski's "Cloud Atlas," Rian Johnson's "Looper," Peter Jackson's "The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey," Steven Spielberg's "Lincoln," Ang Lee's "Life of Pi," Robert Zemeckis's "Flight," Kathryn Bigelow's "Zero Dark Thirty," and Tom Hooper's "Les Miserables."
All of those films have film pages, which can be found amidst full listings for September, October, November and December.
But before treading through those listings, consider the following 30 films first. From Michael Haneke, Quentin Tarantino and Gus Van Sant to
L. Ron Hubbard, Leo Tolstoy and FDR, a fall indie preview begins on the next page.

On a Mediatemple gridserver, I'm trying to run this by a cron set in the control panel:
usr/bin/python /home/xxxxx/html/sitemap_gen.py --config=/home/xxxxx/html/config.xml
But I get the error "python: can't open file '/home/95809/html/sitemap_gen.py': [Errno 2] No such file or directory." But the files are there. MT requires the paths, and there is no difference in the error without the paths.
I can run it manually from ssh:
python sitemap_gen.py --config=config.xml
and have chmoded the script for execution.
Is there a different way to run this script that will work?
MT doesn't have direct examples of python scripts run by cron, and doesn't offer support.
Is there a way to wrap the script in another script - like a bash script - to get away from having to include the paths or invoke python, which I think might be the problem?

Your Life: Blessings come in many forms
My friend BJo started something when I shared with readers her thoughts, "Rather than thinking we have to wait for God to bless us, perhaps what He might want is for us is to create our own blessings for ourselves or for one another."
Several readers tell me they are now thinking about blessings — how they can pass from and through us to those we encounter. Blessings can be particularly helpful while in the midst of the holiday season — a time of joy but also frenzied activity.
Here are more suggestions about what a blessing could look like.
Author Ann Patchett writes, "Show kindness whenever possible. Show it to the people in front of you, the people coming up behind you, and the people with whom you are running neck and neck. It will vastly improve the quality of your own life, the lives of others, and the state of the world."
Being kind to others brings a sense of personal well being to oneself, so the giver gets blessed in return.
A blessing may also be as simple as slowing down and taking time to make eye contact with people – really seeing the person behind the counter or the one who is fitting our shoes, altering our clothes or serving us food — just the simple practice of seeing, smiling and greeting others.
Unfortunately this is also the time of year when we encounter people who are rude. A way of blessing them is to take a step back and remind ourselves that what that person did is not about us, but simply a "spill-over" from something hurtful going on in their personal lives. Why would we want to add to their burden by being rude in return?
Instead we can offer a blessing by being patient, understanding and tolerant. If the rudeness continues, we give a blessing to ourselves by stepping away.
The beautiful thing about blessings is they are not just for special occasions, but every day of the year and if we start practicing now maybe by the time the new year rolls around, we'll have acquired a new habit.

The OFI Long Term Volunteer Program offers individuals a rare opportunity to travel abroad and witness firsthand the impact and realities of wildlife and habitat protection, by working at OFI's Orangutan Care Center in Pasir Panjang, Kalimantan. The OFI Long Term Volunteer is an unpaid position designed to increase OFI's impact and to offer participants a unique insider experience. Orangutan Foundation International protects 6,000 wild orangutans in Tanjung Puting National Park, in Kalimantan, Indonesia. Facilities include the Orangutan Care Center, which rehabilitates 330 young orangutans and prepares them for return to the wild, 16 guard posts throughout the park and numerous staffed feeding stations. Volunteering for OFI can have a big impact — on your life and the lives of the thousands of orangutans we fight to protect. Each year, OFI is grateful to receive many kind inquiries from volunteers willing to spend weeks, months, even years in Kalimantan, helping in the Orangutan Care Center or in Tanjung Puting National Park.
Except for the positions listed, OFI is not currently setup to accommodate volunteers in the field. We are proud to be a major employer in Pasir Panjang (home of the Care Centre.) Each job we create for Indonesians represents proof that environmental conservation and economic development can go together.For our successful long-term volunteers, OFI is pleased to be able to offer letters of reference that will serve as testimony of their dedication to our organization and the quality of the contribution they have made to our cause. Volunteers are expected to submit a final report on what they have learned, experienced, and accomplished during their tenure with OFI.
The OCC&Q is situated in the village of Pasir Panjang, a 15 minute drive from the small city of Pangkalan Bun. This city has an airport and is situated in the south of the province of Kalimantan Tengah, Borneo, Indonesia. Living conditions are basic, with limited running water, no landlines or Internet. Internet is available a 10 minute ride away in the town. Most of the locals speak rudimentary or no English. Languages are Indonesian and local Dayak dialect. The OCC&Q houses over 300 orphaned orangutans, most of who are being prepared for release. The majority of individuals are under 10 years old. The Centre consists of a central clinic and units housing the older individuals, while the outlying juvenile units and the medical quarantine facility are set in the surrounding 80 hectare forest. Most of the orangutans are very well-habituated to humans. They arrive in the OCC&Q by confiscation from homes, black markets, entertainment industry, and abusive zoos.
Volunteers work on a daily basis in the Orangutan Care Centre and Quarantine in Pasir Panjang. The staff working hours are 8:00 to 16:00, with a lunch break at around noon. If desired, the volunteer may take one day off a week. Living arrangements are typically with a local family homestay. The quality of care in the homes varies, from simple room accommodation to cooking and laundry. OFI makes an effort to arrange homestays for all its interns and volunteers, but there is an element of unpredictability in any such arrangements. In case of emergency, hotel/motel accommodations are present in Pangkalan Bun and even closer to Pasir Panjang. Food is provided to local staff and all willing volunteers in the Care Centre twice a day (breakfast and lunch). The fare is simple but healthy (usually rice and vegetables or tofu). Dinner is the responsibility of the volunteer (homestay families may cook for their guests).
Volunteer positions are unpaid. The volunteer is responsible for flights, internal transportation, visas and health insurance. Successful applicants will receive an assignment of four to six months. OFI will organize a homestay with a host family. Room and board ranges from $200-$250 USD a month. The complete cost of a six-month volunteer experience originating from North America is approximately $3,800 USD. The following documents are required from all volunteers prior to departure:
Admission to the volunteer program is competitive. To apply, please follow these steps:
You will receive a return reply from one of our volunteer coordinators within one week. Please note that all of our volunteer coordinators are themselves volunteers, so please be patient if there is an occasional communications delay. The following are positions in our volunteer program. Please note that not all positions are available at all times.
The OFI Communications Volunteer is a position well-suited to energetic and innovative individuals. The Communications Volunteer is an integral part of the OFI Team, acting as OFI's eyes and ears in the field and helping to extend limited resources to maximum effect. The Communication Volunteer's dual background in both communication and conservation allows him or her to be at home amidst the confusion of the Orangutan Care Centre while translating the action to a public presentation for the global OFI community. This requires correct interpretation of events and engaging, appropriate presentation through various forms of communication media. Communication Volunteers gain experience and insight, and contribute fresh thinking, into a critically important aspect of conservation – involvement of the international public. OFI has a long and established history as a research, conservation and education organization. It is vitally important that this work continues to be brought to the attention of the public, and the friends and donors involved with OFI. OFI Volunteers fulfill tasks set out in a Work Plan defined by OFI. The Volunteer is based in the Orangutan Care Centre and works closely with OFI's North American staff and volunteer team.
The tasks outlined above are only the standard responsibility of the communications volunteer. Every tenure will also involve one or more special projects which will address the communication, outreach and fundraising needs of OFI on and off the field at the time.
The OFI Volunteer Program offers individuals a rare opportunity to travel abroad and witness firsthand the impact and realities of wildlife and habitat protection, by working at OFI's Orangutan Care Center in Pasir Panjang, Kalimantan. The OFI Volunteer is an unpaid position designed to increase OFI's impact and to offer participants a unique insider experience.
The goal of the OFI Enrichment Volunteer is to improve existing and create new ways of enriching the conditions under which the orangutans at the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCC&Q) are housed. While most individuals are taken into the jungle daily, it is important that the time they spend in their night cages is comfortable, stimulating and as stress-free as possible.
Work Plan:
Enrichment activities are coordinated by the local Enrichment specialist who works at the Care Center. The two Enrichment Volunteers work closely with this person and share the duties, as well as bringing their own unique skills to the task. The Enrichment Volunteers will start work at 8 AM as all staff and volunteers at the Care Center. Their routine daily duties will include:
Lunch break is noon-1 pm, and the work day wraps up at 4 PM. The Enrichment Volunteers are expected to exercise their past experience and creativity by coming up with novel, ingenuous ways to keep orangutans engaged and active in their environment. This will include creating new toys, games, or using cheap and readily available materials in the Care Center or the village to improve the quality of life for the orangutans.
There are two Enrichment Volunteers at the Care Center on an ongoing basis. The length of this position is 6 months or more to be determined by you before coming to Indonesia. Another volunteer will replace you immediately before or after your departure.
Orangutan Foundation International is seeking self motivated, independent volunteers to work with the Malayan sun bears it currently houses at the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) facility in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia.
The OCCQ currently takes in and houses all animals in need including the local subspecies of Malayan sun bear. These bears sometimes arrive at OFI's facilities injured or traumatized after being captured from the wild; many have been confiscated by local authorities after being kept as pets in poor conditions. OFI has built a one hectare forest enclosure at the OCCQ which now houses several adult and juvenile sun bears we are unable to reintroduce into the wild. OFI's Sun Bear Rehabilitation Program selects and rehabilitates any bear cubs that are healthy and deemed fit for reintroduction back into the wild. The Sun Bear Husbandry Volunteer will work at the OCCQ facility with local staff and other sun bear Rehabilitators to care for these adult and juvenile bears as well as any cubs involved in OFI's sun bear rehabilitation program. Volunteers will help with feeding, enclosure cleaning, enrichment, repairs and monitoring of all bears at the OCCQ.
Duties may vary widely throughout the volunteer placement and there will be no shortage of variety or volume of volunteer tasks. Duties are very much self delegated, so a high degree of self motivation is required for the sun bear volunteer. Physical contact with the adult and juvenile sun bears is expected and we encourage volunteers to form a bond with the bears to enable a good working relationship as well as to enrich the lives of the bears within our care.
The majority of the time the volunteer will be working up close and personal with the sun bears at the OCCQ undertaking enrichment and animal husbandry activities such as:
During times away from forest release site, the major responsibility will be assisting the Bear Coordinator with the rehabilitation/care of two juvenile and one adult sun bears currently housed at the OCCQ, including daily husbandry and routine chores such as cleaning, feeding, enrichment, behavioural observations as well as helping with a large enclosure construction project planned for the next year
Job-Specific Requirements:
General Skills and Characteristics:
This position provides a unique opportunity to gain invaluable animal handling experience while most importantly participating in the reintroduction of Malayan sun bear cubs back into the wild. OFI's sun bear reintroduction program is ideal for animal keepers, ethologists, carnivore enthusiasts, and those with an interest in gaining hands on experience in wildlife reintroduction.
Orangutan Foundation International is urgently seeking new sun bear Rehabilitators to participate in the reintroduction of young bear cubs back into the wild in Central Kalimantan, Indonesia. The OFI Sun Bear Reintroduction Project started in May 2011 and has progressed with the continued influx of orphan bears into OFI's Indonesian run Orangutan Care Center & Quarantine (OCCQ) facility. OFI's sun bear rehabilitation so far has been based on the proven 'walk-release' method, in which the bear is walked daily in the forest by a 'bear walker' (or Rehabilitator). This companionship enables the young bear to adapt to living in the wild and develop the foraging skills necessary to survive, while also functioning to establish a forest territory for the bear. Previous sun bear releases suggest that human presence during this critical time helps to deter wild bears from displacing or attacking the young naïve cubs during the rehabilitation process.
The Rehabilitator will work closely with local staff, sun bear caregivers, and the Sun Bear Reintroduction team. OFI is currently looking for rehabilitators to bond with one or more small bears to then accompany them to the forest rehabilitation site for 6-12 months. The entire reintroduction process could take anywhere up to 2-3 years so those willing to commit to longer periods are welcome. Rehabilitators will be expected to work within the existing reintroduction team but must be aware changing conditions could result in working alone in the forest for some periods.
The Sun Bear Rehabilitator's in-field responsibilities include:
In field training will be provided by the current sun bear rehabilitators as the start date for this position is ASAP. The most important factor to success in this position is a genuine desire to establish an intense bond with the bear cub and commit to this relationship. With limited guidance and a very flexible training period it will be much up to the Rehabilitator and local OFI management to decide when the cub/Rehabilitator partners are ready to be moved to the forest release site. It must be noted that the cub will be naturally wary of strangers and it will take some time before the cub is comfortable with a new person, so a period of intense adjustment must be expected. It is possible rehabilitators will be brought in to continue with the rehabilitation of a bear already in the forest. This would require working closely with existing reintroduction team currently in the forest and would be up to this team in collaboration to decide duties and work/ "walk" schedule after training period.

AD-JOB DESCRIP- SunBearHusbandryDec2014-2col
Dr. Galdikas is a well-known primatologist specializing in orangutan research who has devoted the last forty-two years to the study and protection of wild orangutans. As the President of Orangutan Foundation International, she is responsible for 180 Indonesian employees, 330 orphan orangutans, 6,000 wild orangutans, and 1,800 square miles of protected forest. In addition to her busy schedule of speaking engagements, fundraisers, and conferences around the world,Dr. Galdikas divides her time between Camp Leakey and the Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine (OCCQ) in Borneo, Indonesia, and Simon Fraser University in Vancouver where she is a full professor and the administrative offices of OFI in Los Angeles.
Job Description
The primary role of the OFI Intern is to help Dr. Galdikas manage all her professional and personal commitments that are challenged by Dr. Galdikas' demanding schedule, constant travel, and intense commitment to all aspects of the organization. Interns act as a conduit between Dr. Galdikas and the many OFI stakeholders, including donors, staff, and volunteers who are spread across various continents and time-zones. Interns may also be involved with work to support Dr. Galdikas' future research publications. Interns will gain experience with public relations, fundraising and donor communication, developing platforms and strategies for activism and public policy initiatives, and daily operations at the field-site including purchasing supplies, managing inventory, geographical and environmental surveys. There will be an opportunity for hands-on involvement with the orangutans and other ex-captive animals being rehabilitated at the Care Center, including behavioral and dietary enrichment, health checks, and more.
Central responsibilities include helping Dr. Galdikas in day-to-day activities and commitments, keeping track of approaching deadlines and helping Dr. Galdikas meet them, maintain contact with staff, donors, volunteers, board and other stakeholders, and taking menial and repetitive tasks off her hands.
Daily tasks are highly variable. Interns may be asked to assist with any and all aspects of OFI's work. Those listed below represent only some of the more common tasks.
The successful candidate for this position will have the following attributes:
The Orangutan Care Center and Quarantine is staffed by two full-time, Indonesian veterinarians. However, we will sometimes accept qualified veterinarians, especially with primate experience, for medium to long term internships at the OCCQ. Please contact our Volunteer Team (firstname.lastname@example.com) with your CV and a short cover letter, if you would like to be considered for veterinary volunteering at the OCCQ.
The Orangutan Foundation International Field Volunteer Coordinator is a position well-suited to energetic, outgoing, and adaptive individuals. The Field Volunteer Coordinator will gain an applied experience in field conservation and outdoor leadership.
This position is based in the Central Kalimantan village of Pasir Panjang and works closely with OFI's local and North American staff, Volunteer Committee, and volunteer field team. We are interested in finding someone willing to make a significant commitment to our volunteer program as well as making a greater contribution to OFI in the future. This position is an excellent way to make a concrete contribution to field operations while learning in depth about OFI`s conservation, rehabilitation, and research efforts, as well as Borneo's ecology, culture, and political climate.
OFI runs two volunteer programs: Long Term Volunteers (6 month positions in Communications, Orangutan Enrichment/Release, Sun Bear Rehabiltiation/Husbandry, and Veterinary Assistants) and Short Term (Construction Teams lasting 2-3 weeks). We are looking for someone to manage the field aspects of both programs. Responsibilities include handling logistical arrangements, acting as a mentor and facilitator to new volunteers and a liason between volunteer and staff, and keeping accounts and records as necessary. The Coordinator should be prepared to advise volunteers directly on both professional and personal issues, or be able to find the staff-person most qualified and available to help the volunteer. The Coordinator will report to both Dr Birute Galdikas and to the Volunteer Committee in North America, keeping all parties updated as to events in the field, and acting on their directives at critical junctures.
The Field Volunteer Coordinator should be familar with all the volunteer positions, understanding the job descriptions, requirements, and daily tasks. (As the Enrichment/Release position often requires the most involvement, candidates with experience in Animal Enrichment and Animal Husbandry are preferred.) The job descriptions are each very broad, including more tasks than a single person can accomplish. The intention is that each volunteer finds a focus/specialty suited to their skill-set and temperament. Often, volunteers have been accepted with specific assignments in mind relevant to their background. At other times, urgent need and extenuating circumstance requires adjusting volunteers' focus or reassigning roles. The Coordinator should be part of such discussions with the Committee and Dr. Galdikas. It is the Coordinator's responsibility to communicate assignments to the volunteers and ensure that they are comfortable with what they are asked to do, supported in learning and undertaking all tasks, and fully understand the expectations.
one year (minimum)

The Dayak village of Pasir Panjang is a 15 minute drive from the small city of Pangkalan Bun. The city has a small airport and is situated in the south of the province of Kalimantan Tengah, Borneo, Indonesia. OFI`s Orangutan Care Centre and Quarantine is located in the village of Pasir Panjang. The Coordinator will live in a home-stay in Pasir Panjang (rent will be paid by OFI). The quality of care in the homes varies, from simple room accommodation to cooking and laundry. OFI makes an effort to arrange homestays for all its interns and volunteers, but there is an element of unpredictability in any such arrangements. In case of emergency, hotel/motel accommodations are present in Pangkalan Bun and even closer to Pasir Panjang. The Coordinator will accompany the Construction Teams to other field sites and stay there for the duration of the construction projects. Living arrangements depend on the project of the construction team. Regardless of this, conditions are basic, with limited running water, sometimes no electricity, and occasionally no cell service or internet access
The Care Center facility operates around the clock all days of the week. Volunteers are expected to work approximately the same hours as the majority of the staff (8am-4pm) six days a week (day off flexible). The Coordinator is expected to be present the same hours, but they will also need to be available/contactable at all time to volunteers and staff. There will be ocassional demands outside of normal working hours as meetings with Dr Galdikas generally take place in the evenings and Skype calls to other countries must be arranged around time-zones.
In order to truly be successful in this position the Coordinator must be open minded, learn quickly and have a genuine passion for working with people. In addition, the Coordinator will need to be capable and willing to make themself an exemplary example of appropriate behaviour and conduct; they must be sensitive to how their actions and attitude are interpreted in the cultural context and must be comfortable in an environment with no clear line between work and personal life.

The Biggest Loser: Jillian Michaels Promotes New Book And Hints To Possible Talk Show
May 04, 2011 11:00 AM by Lisa Princ
If you are a fan of The Biggest Loser on NBC's trainer Jillian Michaels, you will be interested to know that she has a new book out and at the LA Times festival of books, Jillian took some time to chat about everything from the book to a possible talk show in the future. Keep reading for more details!
Jillian Michaels is know as the tough trainer on The Biggest Loser, but according to the LA Times, she was anything but at their recent Festival of books where Jillian spoke about her book and her future. Jillian said her new book titled "Unlimited: How to Build an Exceptional Life" is filled with advice and inspiration such as that "You can do anything you want. People don't recognize they are deserving" she tells the crowd. Jillian goes to share that the biggest issue in the way of success is fear as she adds "It's all about your attitude toward fear. It can lead to great transformation."
Now we all know that this will be Jillian's last season on the show, but how does she feel about her longtime training partner and good friend, Bob Harper? She describes her relationship with Bob as "husband-wife, brother-sister type" and goes to say "I want to start a family. I'm also craving a direct relationship with people…and you can't do that in prime time television."
However, the LA Times is also reporting that Jillian Michaels has hinted to a possible daytime talk show, but we didn't get anymore details than that. My guess is though that if she is leaving The Biggest Loser to start a family, I don't think we will see her on daytime television either – at least for a while anyway!
Are you going to miss Jillian Michaels? Comment below and share your thoughts with us and then be sure to tune in next week at 9 pm EST for a brand new episode of The Biggest Loser on NBC!
Want more? Follow our tweets on Twitter and "like" us on Facebook! For other great The Biggest Loser news, please feel free to check out SirLinksALot: The Biggest Loser and then come and discuss the show on our Reality TV message boards.

I will miss jillian, who will be replacing her.Jillian and bob have really made the show interesting and enjoyable to watch.I hope who ever replaces jillian will be as great.The program won't be the same without her,she will be greatly missed.
Rina Says:
May 16th, 2011 at 10:21 pm
There will be other trainers. It is about these individuals personal weight loss stories not the trainers which make for interesting shows. Jillian's overwrought advice is so off putting.
Sigh, I wish they would prompt the contestants to yield more than saying I want to do something for me. Maybe less obsesssion over ME will make for healthier human beings period.

EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — The Oregon Ducks opened camp Monday and as expected, the lingering quarterback questions took center stage.
Freshman Marcus Mariota and sophomore Bryan Bennett have 22 practices over the next three weeks to win the starting job for the Ducks' season opener against Arkansas State on Sept. 1.
It's a battle that began during the spring and carried over through voluntary workouts this summer.
Coming off a 12-2 season that ended with a Rose Bowl victory against Wisconsin, expectations are as high as they have ever been for Oregon, the three-time Pac-12 champions.
All eyes are on the two quarterbacks in line to replace Darron Thomas, who was 23-3 as a starter, with 5,910 career yards passing, 66 touchdowns and 17 interceptions before leaving early for the NFL draft.

With the new Season drawing closer, the Royal Opera House is once again looking for the UK's most passionate and creative students to become our next Student Ambassadors. You don't have to be an expert in our art forms, but an open mind and desire to communicate about the arts are essential.
Ambassadors are vital in helping us spread the word about our exciting new productions, and raising the profile of opera and ballet in general. Our live Cinema Season brings opera and ballet to cinemas nationwide – so we need students from all around the UK to get involved.
In the last few years, Student Ambassadors have been highlighting the benefits on offer for those registered as ROH Students. Members of our Student Scheme are notified about last-minute ticket deals, enjoy a student-only main stage performance each Season and get a brilliant 'two for £10' standby offer on cinema seats.
In return for raising awareness, Ambassadors get a range of ROH exclusives including discounted or complimentary tickets and an invaluable insight into the inner workings of a great arts organization. As well as being great fun, our previous ambassadors have found their time to be an excellent CV enhancement, offering a chance to network with staff at the Royal Opera House and other arts professionals.
Previous Ambassadors have landed great jobs in a range of different roles across the arts. In an industry where it can be difficult to stand out without experience, previous ambassadors have won jobs including as a Marketing Assistant at London's National Theatre, a Museum and Gallery Assistant at Royal Academy of Music and Music Library Assistant at Glyndebourne.
As well as helping us spread the word about opera and ballet and boosting their CV, Ambassadors are also able to give valuable feedback as to how we can improve our student scheme - our Cinema Student Standby offer of two tickets for £10 was the result of a pitch by one of last Season's Ambassadors.
'You get a real taste of what it involves to work at an arts organization – it was a privilege to influence the perceptions of students and the policies of the ROH', says Kizzie Burkett who now works as Account Manager (for clients including the Royal Opera House) at theatre marketing agency AKA.
'Don't worry if you aren't taking a degree in something that you feel is "related" to the ROH as they are looking for people from all areas', says Ambassador Francesca Secola. 'Just be honest, passionate and enthusiastic.'
To apply for the scheme, ensure you're registered as an ROH student and email us at firstname.lastname@example.com by 26 August 2015 with your:
Good luck!
ROH Students can enjoy offers and discounts from the Royal Opera House. To make the most of these and to apply for the scheme, please register as a student.
Book here for pit standing tickets for Orphée et Eurydice and a special performance of The Firework-Maker's Daughter on 21 December. Further booking instructions are available here.

Wikipedia. While to some it may be the academic equivalent of persistently unwrapping sweets during a performance, things are fast changing, and for the better. With an estimated 19 million active users worldwide, Wikipedia is the world's most popular encyclopaedia. Not only does contributing to the site create a richer bank of information for everyone to share, for editors (affectionately dubbed 'Wikipedians') it's also a way of strengthening writing skills and sharing passions. All the while a dedicated team of volunteer editors proof-read and fact-check.
It was with this in mind that the Royal Opera House recently hosted the first-ever ballet editathon. Along with my fellow Royal Opera House Student Ambassador David Wilson, I joined other ballet enthusiasts and Wikipedia editors to collaborate on articles about one of ballet's greatest choreographers: Frederick Ashton.
We met in the opulent Crush Room and the morning discussions, led by those who had known him well, provided a fascinating insight into Ashton's life and work. Chairman of the Ashton Foundation Tony Dyson and its Executive Director Christopher Nourse highlighted the importance of extending choreographic research so that modern-day casts are provided with the maximum amount of information on a ballet and can retain its original spirit.
Following a short film containing moments from some of Ashton's ballets, we were invited to view a selection of items from the Royal Opera House archives. In existence for over 40 years, the Collection houses over 6,000 costumes, thousands of programmes, and around 1 million photographs.
We divided up into small groups, each working on a different ballet. My co-editor Edward – an experienced Wikipedian – guided me through the editing process. We decided to tackle the article about Ashton's La fille mal gardée, primarily using albums of press-cuttings for reference. I found that with the simple click of a button we were able to add further detail to the Wikipedia page, from details of original cast members quitting to accidental on-stage injuries. In a 2005 review from the Daily Mail, we learned that during one performance of La fille, Marianela Núñez inadvertently struck Carlos Acosta above the eye with her elbow, causing blood to stain her white dress:
"It simply looked as if there were a few more red petals [on her gown] than there had been before."
After lunch, we came together to share our findings with the rest of the group: collectively, we had created six new pages and significantly expanded six more, from Frederick Ashton's Wikipedia entry to the ballet A Month in the Country. The pages we enhanced have continued to grow since the event, and this sense of a shared project is what I found most special about the experience. Not only did we improve online reference material relating to Ashton, we were also inviting others to take part. I hope that our day spent working on articles about Ashton and his works has provided a richer perspective on a well-loved choreographer.
A Mixed Programme of Frederick Ashton's works will be shown in cinemas in the UK, Austria, Germany and Spain on 15 July 2013.
Future collaborations with the Wikipedia community are under discussion.]]>
Applications are now open to be a Royal Opera House Student Ambassador during the 2013/14 academic year.
Following a fantastic first year of the Ambassador scheme, we are once again looking for passionate, creative and confident students who will be brilliant advocates for the Royal Opera House in their universities around the UK from September onwards.
Ambassadors will promote our events to fellow students throughout the year by ensuring that the Royal Opera House is represented in the right places and at the right times on and around their campus/universities. We're keen for Ambassadors to share details of productions from the Main Stage, performances in our Linbury Studio Theatre and Cinema Season relays around the UK.
believe that all students should have access to world-class productions at the Royal Opera House, whether it be in London in their local cinema, and we'd like you to help us spread the word.
As an Ambassador, you will get:
It's not every day you get chat to Kasper Holten about the staging of Die Zauberflöte, or mingle with Carlos Acosta at the stage door after a performance. Such is the life of a Royal Opera House student ambassador, a truly unique experience for young people with an enthusiasm for the Arts.'
- Beth Baker-Wyse, Loughborough University, joint winner of 2012/13 Student Ambassador Scheme
To be a an Ambassador you have to be willing to spend the time connecting with your student body, but it is worth it. Being able to talk to students who have just seen their first opera or ballet (and are already booked to see more) is hugely rewarding, and it is amazing to see changes happen in which you know you have played a part.'
- Dave Wilson, University of Bath, joint winner of 2012/13 Student Ambassador Scheme
To apply to be a Student Ambassador, send your CV and a description of why you would make a brilliant Ambassador, including an idea of how you would promote the Royal Opera House in your campus (max 250 words) to firstname.lastname@example.com by 14 June.
Shortlisted applicants will be notified by 19 June and must be available for interview at the Royal Opera House on 27 June. Successful applicants will be notified the same day and are invited to a Welcome Event to meet other Ambassadors and the Royal Opera House team in Covent Garden on 10 July. Travel expenses for both events will be covered.
Don't forget to register for the Royal Opera House Student scheme first, and good luck!]]>
Last night we met our newly-appointed Royal Opera House Student Ambassadors. This group of like-minded and passionate students will help us shape our student-focused events at Covent Garden, around the UK in cinemas and on their campuses. The scheme will initially run for a year.
Not only are the Ambassadors a talented bunch of people but they have bags of enthusiasm and ideas on how we can move the Student Standby scheme forward and engage with students in general.
The creation of the Student Ambassador scheme is not just a way of helping us reach more people in universities around the UK, but opens a crucial dialogue between the Royal Opera House and our student audience. We want to hear what students have to say and to act upon it. Following their visit to the Royal Opera House for The Royal Ballet's Mixed Bill of Viscera/Infra/Fool's Paradise, we're getting to know the newest members of our Student Standby Team and look forward to them challenging us with new approaches to opera, ballet, music and dance.
It can't go unsaid that we're sorry we couldn't take more of you on, as the hundreds of applications we received showed us what a fantastic and passionate audience you are. We're thrilled that so many of you care enough about the art forms and the Royal Opera House to put yourself forward.
We will continue to bring our Extraordinary World to you, as our new Student Ambassadors help us shape the best student scheme we can offer. Here's to an exciting year ahead!
Our Student Standby scheme offers £10 tickets for unsold performances to current students. Sign up to Student Standby.]]>

Re: If I plan to stay in Ramallah for awhile
Upon entrance into Israel here are a few tips
1. New tell them that you are going to Palestine. For your own ease say that you want to tour around israel.
2. They generally give three month visa's to all tourists. I am not sure what countries need them beforehand but Americans do not.
3. Good luck getting it extended. It is best to leave the country through Jordon for a few days before your visa expires then come back in and say you are visiting for a while.
4. sometimes they ask if you have a return ticket and make you buy one on the spot. if this is the case you should buy a first class totally refundable ticket at the airport and once you get to where you are going just call and cancel it. Generally they do not ask though...

Heating a home during a cold Vermont winter is expensive. To help ease the pain, many are turning to weatherization projects. The Central Vermont Community Action Council has five crews working year-round to button up homes in our area. These services are free of charge to central Vermonters who meet income qualifications. Others can hire these trained crews for audits and renovations. People who go through the process typically save 30 to 35 percent on their heating fuel usage. On Friday, a CVCAC crew was at the home of Linda Morse in Williamstown. Above, Lt. Gov. Phil Scott, right, and Craig Fullerton, of East Randolph, blow loose cellulose insulation into the attic of Morse's home. Scott was on the job as part of his "Vermont Everyday Jobs Tour."

Julio Cesar
Update on Julio CesarJulio is fifty-one years old, has a life companion, and has three children. He has a lot of experience in the seafood business. He learned this business together with his life companion; they did not have permanent employment and opted for this form of subsistence. They also make a living in raising pigs, fattening and selling them.
To buy the seafood, they rise at 5:00am to go to the closest market where the island and beach fishermen come to sell their products. Later, Julio travels by bus to resell the seafood.
The loan he is requesting from Fundación Campo is to buy seafood and four pigs for fattening. In doing this, he will supply the demand of his clients and will be able to serve more potential clients, thereby obtaining a good income for the family.
He hopes to save up in order to buy himself a pick-up truck so that he can make his trips more quickly and easily.

Concurrent and Successive Loans
Our Field Partners often work with borrowers over a series of loans as the borrowers build credit, take out bigger loans, and expand their businesses. In order to make it easier for our Field Partners to post loans for borrowers who have been listed on Kiva before, we allow them to post successive and concurrent loans for their Kiva borrowers. This means that our Field Partners are able to post a borrower's second, third, etc., loan on Kiva without having to re-enter all of the borrower's information.
This borrower has been listed on Kiva before, so you'll see an updated loan description, as well as excerpts of the original descriptions from earlier loans. Most borrowers take out loans consecutively, meaning that they receive a second loan after having repaid the first. However, sometimes our Field Partners give out concurrent loans, allowing borrowers to take out one primary loan and a secondary "add-on" loan along with it. These "add-on" loans are typically smaller than the borrower's primary loan and serve a different purpose. Because Field Partners can now post loans as successive and concurrent loans, you will be able to track borrower progress over time and see the various ways a borrower is working with our Field Partners through funds from Kiva's lenders.

Job test could assess more than your skills
Published: Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 8:52 a.m.
Last Modified: Thursday, November 17, 2011 at 8:52 a.m.
Really? You want me to go into a room with a bunch of people and take a test with a No. 2 pencil?
That — or a nervous " What are they trying to find out?" — is the reaction many people have when a potential employer says: " We want you to take an assessment test." This can be especially foreign to an older worker who has never done this. Or it's been a while.
Take older worker Dave who has been job hunting a year. Although he had never taken such a test, he was just happy to be this close to a new job.
The day of his test — the prelude to an interview for a seasonal position at this mega company, the group was led into a room and given a booklet and answer sheet.
There were 20 questions asking things like: What would you do if you and your co-worker were scheduled for lunch at the same time? Would you: A. Offer to work through lunch, B. Tell your co-worker, sorry, I have seniority so you have to be the one to work, or C. Bring the situation to the attention of your supervisor and let her decide?
The test itself is not particularly remarkable, except for one thing you'll see in a minute. These " situational" types of questions are the norm, setting the stage for real life, day-to-day circumstances you would encounter. It's one way a company hopes to get insight into how successful you'll be on the job and how well you'll work in their environment and culture.
What's interesting is what went on in that room. There's no company representative to be seen. Dave is answering away when a man in his 20s sitting behind him taps him on the shoulder and says, " Dude, what's the answer to number two?" '
Dave leans back and answers quietly, " The same as number one." He turns back to his test, but the guy taps him on the shoulder again and asks, " So what's the answer to number one?"
The test, as it turns out, asks the same question twice. Question one was the same as question two, question three the same as four, and so on.
Across the room another young man takes out his phone and makes a call. " I hear him reading the question over the phone to the person on the other end," says Dave.
Someone whose job it is to administer tests once told me that part of his duty is to record how applicants act while taking tests. Does the person seem frustrated or act exasperated? Observe and note that, he was told. It's part of the test.
When Dave had his interview with the human resource representative he mentioned how the test questions repeated themselves. She just smiled and said, " Yeah, I know."
So what was going on in that room? Was someone watching these job applicants and they didn't know it? Was the repetition of the same question part of the test?
Tests can screen for intelligence (your capacity to acquire and apply knowledge), skills (what you can already do), aptitude (your capacity to learn other skills), interests (what you'll most likely enjoy doing) and attitude (how you tend to act or approach things), how you tend to influence others and how you think. Or more.
Reactions to tests and the way the test is configured can be a test in itself. Other times, tests look for basics like common sense and honesty. If that's what this particular one was evaluating, some folks in that room didn't fare well.
Common sense test-taking advice to keep in mind: It's not just about the right answer. It's about the right attitude. And Big Brother could be watching for both.

text: This Monday, 5/30/16 marks the 45th official Memorial Day. Originally Memorial day was called "Decoration Day," and began as a tradition after the Civil War in 1868. Although they had different traditions and celebrated on different days, the North and the South both introduced holidays designed specifically to honor those who have died during their military service by placing flowers (specifically poppies) on the graves of fallen soldiers. In 1971 "Decoration Day" officially became Memorial Day, as well as a true National holiday. In honor of our soldiers and those who have fought bravely to keep us safe, Bloomin' has put together 4 Ways to Use Seed Paper this Memorial Day:

was that being sarcastic or have you finally seen the light?Originally Posted by Dawn, post: 137996
Well it is done then. Friday night when DD was at her prom we went to the apple store. We were looking at the mac book and mac book pro. We went with the pro due to DD's declared art major/visual arts requirements. We bought the three years warranty (Icare I believe it is called), IWorks, and got the "free" Ipod touch for her. $2500 before the $229 rebate! I know this was the right option for her. So now at least one of the family has joined the dark side.:tongue:
Did that include the Apple Education discount? I know that Apple has a discount program for higher education students and faculty. Here's the info about it at the Apple store:
Higher Education
Tom (... I know she'll like it!)
i know you know quite a bit, im not doubting that at all, you are probably one of the most knowledgable woman i know on computers....what i said before was meant tongue in cheek trace you should know that by now....maybe youve just bought naff brands we have 4 toshibas in the house and never had a problem with any even the old work one which ive still got from 1998Originally Posted by tb2830, post: 137994
No, not yet. She was really stoked when upon meeting her faculty at the accepted students event in May to find that fine arts majors must have a mac. Her eyes got wide and was really happy about that. She doesn't know that we went with the pro option. I think she was thinking that she would just get the little white one. I think she will freak.Originally Posted by josh.p., post: 138051
Oh good! Just wanted to be sure you got all the discounts that were available.Originally Posted by Watchinherskip, post: 138108
She's gonna love it! Now, we've just gotta get you one!
Tom (... Hello! I'm a Mac!)
Dan does she know yet.
Siobhan, no I don't think so. The university gave us a list of acceptable computers for the fine arts majors and I think she believes that she will be getting a mac but a lower end one. I don't think she is aware of the Ipod touch offer. That on top of the higher end computer should be quite a good surprise for her.
