When your search yields too many results to find what you need, you can also refine the results. To refine your results under Research Results, Research Support, Events & Training, and web you can use the links that appear in the left-hand column titled "Narrow Results By." By selecting specific links you will restrict the information that appears in the search results.
Similar search queries that have been entered by users will appear in the right hand column title "Related Searches." This provides another way for you to refine your search to help you find what you are looking for.
Keyword queries are case-insensitive, and the length is limited to 2,048 characters. You can construct keyword queries by using one or more of the following as free-text expressions:
To construct complex queries, you can combine multiple free-text expressions with keyword query operators. For keyword queries without operators that are specified between free-text expressions, the results that are matched are a union of the free-text expressions. This means the behavior is the same as using the AND operator.
When you use a word in a free-text keyword query, the search tool returns results based on exact matches with the terms stored in the full-text index. You can specify part of a word, from the beginning of the word, by using the wildcard operator (*) to enable prefix matching. In prefix matching the search tool matches results with terms that contain the word followed by zero or more characters.
For example, the following keyword queries return content items that contain the terms "federated" and "search":
Suffix matching is not supported in keyword queries.
When you use a phrase in a free-text keyword query, the search tool returns only the content items in which the words in the specified phrase are located next to each. To specify a phrase in a keyword query, you must use double quotation marks; if you use single quotation marks, the words in the phrase are treated as individual free-text terms.
Prefix matching is not supported, so you cannot use the wildcard operator with phrases in free-text queries.
The keyword query syntax includes several operators that you can use to construct complex queries.
You use Boolean operators to broaden or narrow your search. You can use Boolean operators with free text expressions and property restrictions in keyword queries. The following table lists the supported Boolean operators.
Returns search results that include all of the free text expressions, or property restrictions specified with the and. You must specify a valid free text expression and/or valid property restriction both preceding and following the and operator.
Returns search results that do not include the specified free text expressions or property restrictions. You must specify a valid free text expression and/or valid property restriction following the not expression. This is functionally the same as using the minus ("-") character.
Returns search results that include one or more of the specified free text expressions or property restrictions. You must specify a valid free text expression and/or a valid property restriction both preceding and following the or operator.
You use the near operator to match results where the specified search terms are within close proximity to each other. You can use the near operator with free text expressions only; it is not supported with property restrictions in keyword queries and with phrase queries.
The following keyword query example returns results where an instance of the term "federated" is followed by up to eight other terms, and then an instance of the term "search".
The order of the terms in the keyword query is respected, so the previous query example will only match when the term "federated" is followed by the term "search." In this example, no match is made when the instance of the term "search" is found before the instance of the term "federated."
You use the words operator to specify that the terms in the keyword query are synonyms, and that results returned should match either of the specified terms. You can use the words operator with free text expressions only; it is not supported with property restrictions in keyword queries.
The following keyword query example matches results that contain either the term "TV" or the term "television". This matching behavior is the same as if you had used the following query.
These keyword queries differ in how the results are ranked. When you use the words operator, the terms "TV" and "television" are treated as synonyms instead of separate terms. Therefore, instances of either term are ranked as if they were the same term. For example, a content item that contained one instance of the term "television" and five instances of the term "TV" would be ranked the same as a content item with six instances of the term "TV."
You use the wildcard operator—the asterisk character ("*")—to enable prefix matching. You can specify part of a word, from the beginning of the word, followed by the wildcard operator, in your keyword query, as follows.
This keyword query would match results that include terms beginning with "serv", followed by zero or more characters, such as serve, server, service, and so on.
You can specify whether the results that are returned should include or exclude content that matches the value specified in the free text expression or the property restriction by using the inclusion and exclusion operators, described in the following table.
Includes content with values that match the inclusion. This is the default behavior if no character is specified.
Excludes content with values that match the exclusion.
You can combine different parts of a keyword query by using the opening parenthesis character "(" and closing parenthesis character ")". Each opening parenthesis "(", must have a matching closing parenthesis ")". White space preceding or following parenthesis does not affect the query.

6 CEUs
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is known as part of the Third Wave of behavioral therapies, and is an empirically derived intervention for a variety of psychological problems. It is a unique cognitive/behavior therapy that is especially well-suited to the practice of social work. Both share a focus on context, strengths, and understanding human suffering in ways that avoid pathologizing individuals so they can accept themselves and others; choose valued directions for their lives; and commit to action that leads them in those directions. This seminar examines the underlying theory supporting ACT and explores the relevance of experiential avoidance to human suffering as well as the application of the six core processes of psychological flexibility. Upon completion of this course, participants are able to 1) describe a key difference between ACT and CBT; 2) briefly explain Relational Frame Theory (RFT); 3) describe the six core processes of psychological flexibility commonly used in ACT; 4) describe experiential avoidance; and 5) commit to action on at least one core process that they will apply to their personal or professional lives. Diversity is addressed in the contexts of ACT's allowance for individualized assessment and treatment that does not rely on a predetermined or culturally specific model of normal and abnormal behavior; and its detachment from judgmental thoughts, and commitment to valued directions. This seminar is appropriate for all levels of post-master's degreed practitioners in the mental health, medical and substance abuse fields, as well as those who work with families and couples. Familiarity with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy will be helpful, but is not required.
John Armando, MSS, LCSW, is Director of Behavioral Medicine at Underwood Memorial Hospital's Family Medicine Residency program. John is also co-founder and director of behavioral therapy at Total Rehab and Fitness, a multidisciplinary disease management program.

If we keep our cash in a fairly traded clutch, does that mean we'll be granted good money karma? We'd be happy to try to find out by using one of these African Woven Clutches ($65). They're made using sustainable materials sourced from Madagascar, which means that buying one helps promote environmentally sound policies as well as independent livelihoods for the makers. They also happen to be cute as buttons. Everybody wins.

Thank you to all who have served their country in peace time and military conflict. Walk up to someone in uniform and thank them for their service, pay for their meal, listen to their concerns. Those of us who have not served or been close to someone who has served have no idea the life sacrifices and life changes that have occurred.
Some people have made a conscious decision not to serve, but many could not because of age or limitations either physical or mental. Many people supported our front line troops by working in the manufacturing plants or the agricultural industry. My father, Henry Kampe (1916-1983), was declared 4F. He was physically not able to serve due to a childhood illness. He served in World War II in the ammunitions plant as a safety officer and first-aid instructor. My mom, Mildred Schuler Kampe (1919-2008), worked in the ammunitions plant. They and many others played an important support roll.
We can honor our military be encouraging them to share their experiences either in interviews such as StoryCorps, BBC Podcasts, BBC News or in writing articles and books such as Navajo Code Talkers. Personal family stories may be shared on Fold3 or Facebook.
Military service always changes lives. By reading military family narratives, the non-military person acquires a small glimpse into their world. We can never understand their thoughts, but we can understand how to better encourage them. In his book Reaching the Lost, Philip Peterson relates how his military service strengthened his personal faith. The training provided structure and discipline needed for his future vocation. On page 17, Philip writes that 14 July 1945 the company received shipping orders with no idea where. He was encouraged by reading Hebrews 13:5. The Lord reminded Philip that whatever His will is, it will be done. On page 39, Philip writes that after a year of living together, one fellow commented "You sure have a strong and sound belief and stick to it." Even today, Philip Peterson daily sticks to his strong and sound belief.
Did a member of your family serve in the military? Research the records on Fold3 or National Archives. Start now to write YOUR story.

It is a story of horror, the worst of fears for any parent.
A 14-year-old student is the most recent victim of a sex attack by a crazed female teacher. Over 60% of male students in America will never make it to college. This is because before they are aged 17, most of these children will have been accosted and propositioned by a female teacher in heat.
This terrifying account starts out like so many others. The teacher was attending one of the school's soccer games. The boy was on the school's soccer team and his mother was in the stands. In the bleachers, the mother spoke on her phone and discussed how difficult it was getting her kid to school, to practice and to his games.
The teacher overhead this and after a brief conversation, found she lived just around the corner from the boy's mother. She gladly offered to give the boy rides to school, since it was on her way. She also offered to give the child a ride home. Pleasantly surprised and relieved by the generosity of the teacher, the boy's mother accepted the offer. Little did she know, she opened to gateway for her child to be psychologically scarred for life.
During March and April, the teacher gave the boy rides to school. According to reports, during one ride the teacher placed her hand on his legs and stated, "You are hot." The boy, confused as children at the age of 14 are not designed to be stimulated in such ways, with their minds naturally being pure and concerned with sports, studies and obedience to parental rules, was very uncomfortable and a victim.
During one of the trips home, the teacher — Kimberley Gale — asked the boy if he wanted to go home with her. Scared and feeling small, the boy's lips quivered and he eked out a "Yes". The teacher than dragged him to her home, where she forced him to strip off his clothing and then did unnatural things to cause his body to become rigid with sin and confusion. She then proceeded to place herself upon his dabber and gyrated herself up and down until he completed the tingling and release.
This adult female — a robust and 23-year-old woman — forced this child into this sick and sadistic act, taking out all her pent up and perverted fantasies on this innocent child's body in hidden confines of her home.
Two weeks later, Gale again told the boy "Do you want to come over?" and now confused by what happened to him, the boy again meekly said yes. Again, the teacher mounted him and did all sorts of weird, unnatural things that a boy at that age does not desire to do. She had her way with him and made him have all sorts of mentally torturous bedroom endeavors, after which she drove him to school and he had to go the entire day feeling awkward around his friends, keeping hidden the secret of what horrors had befallen him only hours before.
This continued to happen for several weeks, before the school contacted the boy's mother to report he had been oddly late several times. Perplexed, the mother contacted Gale and asked her if she knew of these tardy absences. Blessed with the slithering tongue of Satan, the teacher flicked out a bold face lie and said they had been 'stuck in traffic' on those days.
Still suspicious, the boy's mother told the teacher that the 'rides' would stop. The mother at this point still had no idea what sorts of 'rides to hell' this teacher was giving the boy. As any parent should do whenever there is concern about their child being exploited, the mother in this case also took her child's mobile phone away.
While in possession of the phone, the mother received a text message. "I miss you" it said. It was from Gale. The mother responded, "O really?". The teacher then said, "I love you."
Angry, the mother confronted her son. He wept. He wept and confessed that he had been molested by his teacher. The mother immediately contacted authorities.
Ms Gale pleaded guilty to two counts of sexual penetration of a child under 16. This is very horrible and a part of a sad, scary trend in which female teachers seek to feast upon the innocence of your teenage sons.
If you think your son is the victim of a teacher exploiting his innocence with sexual activity, immediately contact authorities and also confiscate any communication item he may have. As we saw in the interview with famed producer Tyler Perry, these acts will always haunt your child's life, perhaps even culminating in psychological disorders and worse.
Just because these victims are male and teenagers, it does not belittle the crime. We must stop this ongoing trend and be there to advocate for these victims.

Dave Madden would be born in Ontario,Canada in 1931. He would later be sent to Indiana to live with relatives when his father passed away and his mom's job kept her on the road. He would be get hurt during his teens and was immobilized for awhile. He would take up magic and when he enlisted in the U.S.Air Force he would be in the special service and would travel the world. He once did a magic act for the King of Libya.
When his enlistment was over he headed to the University of Miami and received a degree in communications. He would travel the stand up circuit and would later head to Los Angeles and would start to get himself on to TV.
He would spend some time on Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. He would gain much of his fame for staring as Reuben Kincaid on "The Partridge Family" as the bands manager. He would have many TV and TV Movie roles but he would make the big screen for his work in 'Eat My Dust'.
Though he would never become a household name for his work. You would always see him appearing on TV shows as a guest that week or as a character for a short time. He would not become a rich man for his television or movie work but he would enjoy a wide variety of characters that will always leave us with a little more humor in our lives than we would have if he had not been around.
Dave Madden was great for his work on "The Partridge Family: but on a personal note I always enjoyed his humor on the Rowan and Martin's Laugh In. Rest In Peace Dave Madden.

In the New Fantasyland at the Magic Kingdom the Enchanted Tales with Belle will be a character greeting with a difference.
Walt Disney Imagineering have released a video that shows that the goal of this attraction is not just to give you a place to meet a Disney character, but to completely transport you into the world of Beauty and The Beast.

Inside are books, pictures and other symbols that define the home of Belle and Maurice and their lives there, including leftover gadgets and artifacts from experiments gone awry. But guests also will see a mirror that magically becomes a portal into Beasts Castle

Splash. Okay now I'm smiling. The stress of the last busy month is washed away. We jump off the panga into the clear Pacific water and paddle to the reefbreak with plenty of chest-high rights.
I'm the first back to the boat. I'm tired and hungry, but also curious what lurks underneath the water. I string up my 8-weight fly rod and make some tentative casts ... nothing. Slowly, the remaining crew paddles back to the boat with big smiles and limp arms. I ask the pangero to give me a shot at any fish we see on the way back.
Birds and the telltale sight of explosions in the water visible from over a mile away spark my excitement. I urge the pangero to go faster. Tuna? No, jacks and big ones, too. With an 8-weight and 30- to 60-pound fish, I'm undergunned but it's all I've got.
Trying to stay upright in the swell that's rocking the boat, I cast to the fish. I fight my nerves and the urge to hurry. They're everywhere! I have to manage my fly line in the boat so as not to tangle it around the bow cleat. I feel the eyes on me from within the boat. Man, these are big fish. We're downwind too far, run upwind ... no, cast over my shoulder to that group of jacks there. It's all part of the attraction of saltwater fly fishing.
Some jacks bust the surface in front of me and I cast to them ... strip, strip, fish on! My friend Matt helps me clear the fly line tangled on the bow cleat. Cheers from the peanut gallery; dismay from the reel. The fish is into the backing and it's going fast. The drag on this reel is nowhere near enough; I palm the reel to slow the fish down. The backing instantly cuts nearly to the bone on my line finger. I point the rod at the fish, and pull my now-bloody index finger back.
Then it happened, how, I'll never quite know. The story will be forever burned into my memory by the bubble trail leaving the rod and reel as they screamed through the water. The situation is only made worse by the witnesses: "It's called an ate weight, right?"
My finger burns from the cut. I'm going to need something for the pain. The jokes are getting old.

Throughout the Arizona Wildcat women's golf season, senior Alejandra Llaneza will keep a weekly blog about life and golf in the Pac-10. Check back for more updates from Ale!
Hello Wildcat Fans!
Not much has happened since our home tournament last week. We had a chance to catch up on school and re-focus for our next event, which we leave for a week from Saturday. We are playing at the Bruins/Waves Invitational at Robinson Ranch Golf Club in L.A. We had the chance to play that tournament last year which allows us to be able to know what to work on for the next 10 days at practice. The course requires a lot of accuracy, and good wedge shots which we have been working on and will continue to work on at practice. We will start qualifying again this week, in order to stay competitive and make sure we are in good shape for the course in L.A. It is good to play 18 holes at practice because that way we can get in more of a rhythm and find out what to practice on the driving range and putting green. It is also fun to play games within the team because for a little bit we stop being teammates and become opponents or sometimes split the team into two, which can be a lot of fun and challenging at the same time. We have a great time competing with each other and love to help one another get better. That's all for today, see you next week!
Para nuestros seguidores que hablan español, les agradezco su apoyo. Nos pueden seguir dentro de aproximadamente 10 días en www.golfstatresults.com. En estos días nos estaremos preparando para el campo de Los Ángeles que presenta un reto porque es angosto y los greens no son muy grandes, es decir que la precisión va a ser clave para poder lograr un buen resultado. También es un campo que requiere buena condición física, y como nuestro último torneo jugamos en "carrito" ahora tenemos que prepararnos y practicar jugando a pie para poder llegar listas físicamente. Eso es todo por hoy, ¡nos vemos la próxima semana!

Tyler Florence and Michael Chiarello Cooking Demo [RECIPE, PHOTOS]
Last week Chef Tyler Florence, who's new downtown Napa restaurant Rotisserie & Wine is now open, and Chef Michael Chiarello held a cooking demo and wine tasting, followed by a special dinner at Chiarello's Bottega.
The demonstration was focused on Florence's Seared Salmon with Mustard-Braised Brussels Sprouts (click here for recipe). Speaking from first-hand experience, the dish looked, smelled and tasted amazing.
Following the demo, both chefs signed copies of their latest respective cookbooks (Florence's "Family Meal" and Chiarello's "Bottega") for attendees.
We were on hand for the fun and snapped a few photos to give you a sense for what it was like.

An editor of Drudge Report, Charles Hurt, sees a "Gitmo soldier marketplace," run by Obama coming soon. The president has already sent a message he's ready-to-deal after Obama's first "cur for curs," swap. For real fanfare, all he needs is additional American hostages for trade. Then, as Hurt describes the Obama administration in his Washington Times column, Tuesday article, "the shapeshifters" will be ready to roll those "Gitmo" terrorists out of Guantanamo, quicker than you can say "I'll give you five for one," at a grand opening.
However, it appears the Taliban is ready to take care of that for Obama. Today, the Drudge Report banner screamed, "Taliban: We're now inspired to kidnap more."
Following to the Times Magazine article, a chilling statement by a Taliban official appears to fulfill Hurt's prediction. When the official was queried about whether the trade for Bowe Bergdahl for five dangerous terrorists had created a climate in which Americans might be at higher risk for hostage kidnappings, "a commander laughed" and responded, "Definitely."
The unidentified commander went on to explain why it was preferable to kidnap one high-priority American soldier than "hundreds of useless people." His people were elated, revved up over the trade and now would "work hard to capture" more, he assured the reporter.
Before a Drudge Report link even announced the Obama administration was considering another Guantanamo trade, in his Washington Times column on Tuesday, Hurt wondered, "Five down, how many more terrorists to go now that this new soldier marketplace is open for business?"
Hurt concluded that the trade was motivated as an effort at "hot-stepping" away from "all the veterans being abused and dying in VA hospitals." If so, observed Hurt, it worked as a political win to change the conversation; however, some veterans and their families have raised the outrage bar on anger coupled with deep disappointment and loss of faith.
Other than Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid and now Donna Brazile, the president is finding it hard to find Democrat supporters in this decision, writes the Washington Times. Democrats are acknowledging that the trade did not work out the way the Obama administration had thought it would. While, as the Drudge Report editor has claimed, "Nobody is talking about all the veterans being abused and dying in VA hospitals any more," it's certainly no "capture bin Laden moment."
Instead, hit with a deluge of Drudge Report headline links, the Obama administration has reeled under the criticism leveled as a result of the trade. One article quotes Obama doubling down, refusing to apologize. Obama shrugged off the furor as the usual reflection of the current Washington climate, claiming it was the kind of "whipped up" controversy always on display when he "did something" hard.
From the Drudge Report headlines, a storyboard of links highlights the Bergdahl story progression, with information that Defense Secretary Chuck Hagel has faced angry questions about the legality of the trade, that Obama has been threatened with impeachment. In addition, there is an article announcing that Senator Ted Cruz of Texas will propose a bill to halt all Guantanamo releases.
Meanwhile, there is also news that Bergdahl's homecoming parade in his hometown has been canceled and according to a FOX News survey link on the Drudge Report, Americans find George Bush to be more competent than Obama by six percent. However, "fully two-thirds of Americans said Bill Clinton's administration was more competent than Obama's."

I miss those good old games that got me so into it....

Immersive games?
Rome: Total War. Seriously, after playing that game nonstop for months I was totally into it. I don't have a problem saying that while playing it I will taunt the enemy armies with my prowess in wordplay and my galant voice. I listened to ancient music, I watched history channel shows on Rome, and occasionally after conquering Rome with the Guals, I would strut around campus and expect all the women to bow to the conquerer...of course they didn't, but oh well...that was the only downfall.
I thought splinter cell was really immersive too. SW Galaxies sucked me in for a whole year. Really I've had no problem with the amount of emmersive games recently. The only problem I have is with developers making games that intensionally shallow for the "casual" gamer. I think there are enough immersive games out there to really keep me going for a long time. Games that I don't have the time to play or the money to buy, but I know right now if I went to Best Buy I could find 4-5 games right off the bat that are really immersive and if I had the time to invest in playing them all, I most definitely would.

The review in The Weekender had this to say about the band that got its start in downtown Flint:
A sure sign that a band is getting bigger and better is when its songs start to evolve and every track on a release becomes an instant favorite, rather than just a handful. The Swellers, a four-piece punk rock band from Flint, Mich., have reached that point in its musical career.
The article goes on to praise the "lyrical angst" on the track "Hands" and the creativity of switching time signatures in the song, "Let Me In."
It was the song, "Running Out of Places to Go," that really caught The Weekender's attention, however.
The title-track is where the band truly shows how far it has come — in more ways than one. The track starts slow, grabbing attention, and builds up in true Swellers fashion. The lyrics on the other hand, seem to fit the band's current state: grateful for the hard work paying off but exhausted from it as well.
The band recently returned to The Flint Local 432 for their ten-year anniversary, but the brief visit home was just one stop between tours that took them everywhere from Japan to Europe and, most recently, Australia.

'Grey's Anatomy,' Season 6, Episode 24, 'Death and All His Friends' (Season Finale)
As the show starts, Meredith tells Cristina that she's pregnant — she's used the stick, she's taken the test, she knows. But despite this happy news, there's a sense hanging over the show that something bad is going to happen — after all, the show is titled "Death and All His Friends." It's a season finale — either someone gets married or someone dies or someone has a kid or all three — those are the rules.
Sure enough, a disturbed man comes into the hospital and shoots a female staffer in cold blood. Then — oh no he didn't! — he shoots Karev! It's on! This is the kind of stuff that only happens in season finales. Karev is a major character, but not so major that he couldn't get written off. Plus, if they can let Izzie go, nobody is really safe. Karev crawls away towards the elevator, leaving a trail of blood. Let's hope he doesn't see George in there, dressed in a military uniform. That's never a good sign.
But back to the happy part of the episode. Meredith tells Derek she has some news for him. She also promises "lots of dirty sex." Big news plus the promise of lots of dirty sex usually means someone's pregnant. But Derek doesn't figure it out.
Cristina confronts Owen – does he love her or Teddy? He hesitates. She's done. When someone asks you point blank if you love them or someone else, this is not a timed exam — you have to cough up the answer, like, instantly. These folks may be doctors, but they all could learn a little bit more about the way life works.
Oh no — Cristina gets in the elevator with the shooter. She gives him directions to Derek's office, not knowing she's helping a psycho. At this point Speakeasy is praying that Cristina doesn't get shot. Same with Bailey. Take anyone, God, but them. They're our favorite characters on this show. If they go, we'll have to start watching "Private Practice."
The first body is discovered and Derek locks down the hospital. Meredith goes to see Cristina — they think the lockdown is a drill. They talk about Meredith being in a family way. Then Cristina tells Meredith her news — she's broken up with Owen.
Elsewhere, the shooter opens fire in a crowded part of the hospital — this is no drill. And Karev's body is discovered in the elevator. Sloan tries to save him.
Cristina and Meredith talk about their love lives, unaware of the chaos that's broken out elsewhere. As Bailey works with her patient, played by guest star Mandy Moore, the shooter comes in. He shoots one doctor and asks Bailey — "Are you a surgeon?" She says she's a nurse and he leaves. This guy has it in for surgeons.
Torres and her girlfriend Robbins talk about their love lives, unaware of the chaos that's broken out elsewhere. Bailey works to save the surgeon who has been shot. This is going down like the original "Star Trek" — minor characters have a bulls-eye on their chests; they beam down to the planet and they don't beam back.
Meredith and Cristina are hiding in a closet. They see the shooter. Cristina realizes he's going after Derek.
Too late: Derek runs into the shooter in the hallway. He recognizes him as Mr. Clark, a disgruntled man whose wife was a patient whom the doctors "unplugged." Mr. Clark pulls his gun. He says Derek hurt him when he let his wife die. Meredith and Cristina see the confrontation. "You don't get to be God!" says Mr. Clark. Derek says "I'm a human being." He starts to talk the guy out of whatever crazy tree he's in. But another doctor interrupts and Mr. Clark shoots Derek. Speakeasy is weirdly okay with this. If Patrick Dempsey gets knocked off the show, that increases the chances that's he'll make "Enchanted 2″–and we loved the first one!
The SWAT team moves in — and Meredith moves out of the closet to help her man. What took her so long? She's a doctor and she's in love — her assistance should have been pause-less.
Meanwhile, Richard waits outside the hospital, helpless. The whole place has been locked down. Nobody in or out. But you just know at some point he's going to get into the hospital.
Inside, Meredith tells Derek to stay awake as she tries to stop the bleeding. Lexie runs into Mr. Clark — but a sniper shoots him before he can shoot her. She later tells Karev that she loves him as Sloan looks on.
Mr. Clark, bleeding, comes across Torres as she works with a child. She gives him bandages and he goes away. Torres bonds with her girlfriend, Robbins (later they share a kiss).
Cristina, who is only a resident, decides to do the surgery on Derek herself. She bars Meredith from the operating room as she works.
Richard slips into the hospital — we knew it! Owen goes back in to find Cristina. Bailey freaks out when the elevators don't work and she can't move a patient to the O.R. It's an Emmy nomination moment!
Owen tells Meredith to stay down as he goes into the O.R., but he's weirdly casual about it. Something's up. Oh shoot — the shooter is in the O.R. with Cristina! Owen tries to diffuse the situation. The shooter wants Cristina to stop her surgery and let Derek die. Everyone in the O.R. seems to want the shooter to shoot them first.
Now Meredith wants in on the sacrificial action. She tells the shooter to shoot her. Instead he shoots Owen. The doctors let Derek's vitals seemingly slip away — and the shooter leaves. But it's a fakeout — the machine's wires have been pulled. Owen is fine-the bullet went through his shoulder. But Meredith, of course, is having a miscarriage. There's no way Shonda Rhimes would let MerDer be happy.
Richard confronts Mr. Clark. Is every doctor in this hospital going to run into this nut? He tells him to make a choice about his life and the afterlife.
The SWAT team closes in. The shooter seemingly kills himself.
Back in the O.R., Derek's heart is beating again. He asks to see Meredith.
She throws away the pregnancy test stick.
So what did you think of this episode? Leave your thoughts in the comments.

During an Oroville City Council budget meeting, the Oroville fire chief Charles Hurley asked to be laid off in order to save the jobs of his battalion chief and an administrator position – two people who have been at the department for years.
"Rather than take those two people who have lived here and worked here their whole lives, than take me," Hurley said while addressing the city council Wednesday night.
Three scenarios had been proposed to trim money from the budget including laying off a battalion chief, making the police chief active head of the police and fire departments, and cutting the jobs of an additional administrator and three firefighters.
Only the third scenario proposed would effectively reduce the department's budget by the $400,000 requested.
"If laying me off and laying off the three fire engineers accomplishes what the city needs to accomplish," Hurley said, "I hate this analogy or I hate this cliché but, you know, I guess you gotta take one for the team."
Chief Hurley's request to be laid off could not be approved at the Wednesday night meeting because too many council members stormed out of the room following the announcement and the majority needed to approve the request was unavailable.
"There has to be some tough decisions," Hurley said, "and if this is what we need to do in the fire department to make it work, than that's what I have to do. You know, I'm a survivor, I will land on my feet. If this is what's best for the community, than that's what I need to do."
The council will meet again on July 1 to decide whether to approve Hurley's request.

There is one day of the year when the moms of Pine Crest Preparatory School in Fort Lauderdale, come together to socialize and enjoy fashion. That day just happened to be Wednesday, April 9, 2014, when Neiman Marcus of The Galleria Mall, hosted a fashion show and luncheon for the Pine Crest parents to raise funds and enjoy time spent together. A celebrity guest made the afternoon even more exciting.
A makeshift runway and dining area transformed the second floor of Neiman Marcus into something right out of a fashion publication. As lunch began to be served, the Public Relations representative of the exclusive retailer took to the stage to introduce a guest that really needed no introduction.
Direct from the pages of Vogue Italia where a segment is soon to be released on this model/designer, Pat Cleveland entered looking long, lean and gorgeous in Herve Leger. She had an indescribable youthful look that was admired by the ladies in attendance. The reception for this star of the fashion world was overwhelming.
Pat Cleveland is a name that sparks memories in the fashion world and keeps it ignited to this day. The charisma and character of this lovely model can light up any room she enters. A woman of color that paved the way for black fashion models of the future, Cleveland made her mark on the fashion world in the 1960's and 70's. She had an intriguing walk on the runway that took on a life of its own and was in demand by some of the most talented designers of all time from Oscar de la Renta to Christian Dior. She not only modeled their clothing, but she too, took to designing and made many of her own clothing. She was a discovery of Vogue and was featured on their pages time and time again. She traveled in circles with Diana Vreeland, Irving Penn and Andy Warhol. One of her claims to fame was dating Mick Jagger. Cleveland enjoyed the limelight and her theatrical style on the runway earned her enormous praise. In 1973, Pat Cleveland was chosen as one of only 30 black models to take part in a special runway event at Paris' Palace of Versailles.
For this very reason, it was such an honor to be sitting as a guest watching Cleveland's presence dominate the runway from the time she walked out. The fashions, which were all available at Neiman Marcus in The Galleria Mall, were dazzling top trends for the arrival of the Spring/Summer 2014 season. Peplum dresses, brilliant colors, floral patterns, chic accessories, silky jackets, magnificent maxis and crop tops paired with the relaxed pant, were all very impressive looks. One of my favorites was the red fringe dress full of fun and a good choice to compliment all the body's curves.
Following in her mom's footsteps, Anna Cleveland also captivated the crowd as she walked the runway in pieces that were especially chosen for her. She had the same style and finesse that shaped her mom's personality. Every outfit she wore told a story through her expressions and her walk. Her personality distinguished her on the runway making her so very different from the rest in magical ways.
The finale gave us body-hugging velvet gowns, sequins and low slung backs, dramatic peplum gowns with ruffled backs and plenty of strapless gowns. There could have been no better note to end the show than when Mom and Daughter sauntered out in exquisite gowns dancing down the runway to 'Happy' by Pharrell Williams. They got the crowd smiling and clapping and took over the stage in an almost hypnotic manner. The women had a bewitching beauty both inside and out.
What a fun and fabulous way to spend an afternoon. Pine Crest Preparatory School will be ready to do it again next year.

Northumberland County, one hour east of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has 19 places where you can cross-country ski or snowshoe. Below are five favourite trail locations. More trail and travel information (including where to eat and where to stay) is found on the Northumberland web site. An Outdoor Adventure Map showing trail locations can also be downloaded from the site.
Northumberland County Forest
This forest's trails are for cross-country skiers only from December to March. Seven loops range from a 1.6km loop for young families to a 13.3 km loop if you're looking for a good work out. The loops are not groomed but they are well-signed and traveled. Dogs are not permitted. The trailhead is located on Beagle Club Road off of Highway 45, north of Cobourg.
Ganaraska Forest
Ganaraska Forest, Southern Ontario's largest, has hundreds of kilometres of trails, including many along the ecologically-sensitive Oak Ridges Moraine. A new Ganaraska Forest Centre serves as a focal point for visitors to the eastern portion of the moraine. The Ganaraska Region Conservation Authority (GRCA) organizes special events from it throughout the year. A GRCA day pass is required to participate. Details are on the conservation authority's web site.
Presqu'ile Provincial Park
Winter bird watching on Lake Ontario is excellent at Presqu'ile Provincial Park. Recent sightings include a Bald eagle, a Barred Owl, several Snowy owls, a flock of Snow Buntings and Canvas-Back ducks (to name a few). Although Presqu'ile's sixteen kilometres of trails are not groomed or track set, they are still popular with cross-country skiers and snowshoe enthusiasts. Or take a winter walk along Presqu'ile Beach. Besides birds, you may see a mini water volcano eruption. Spotting these is winter park pastime. A daily Ontario Parks vehicle permit is required.
Ferris Provincial Park
Cross the Ranney Gorge Suspension bridge to access the trails at Ferris Provincial Park near Campbellford. Each designated cross-country ski and snow shoe trail is five kilometres long. The trails are maintained by Friends of Ferris Provincial Park. A Daily Vehicle Permit is required.
Peter's Woods
Snowshoe the last surviving Old Growth Forest on the Oak Ridges Moraine. Peter's Woods is an Ontario Park Reserve and one of Northumberland County's Unique 100 Experiences.
For the latest on things to see and do east of the GTA, visit Northumberland County's Twitter sites @Northumberlandt, @EastofGTA, and on Facebook. The Northumberland County Tourism web site is also a good information source.

The bus ride back to Chicago is a non-surprising quiet one, as UIC looks to re-group from a tough loss at Eastern Michigan in the season opener. This was not an 11-point game, despite the score (68-57) indicating so. UIC held the lead for the majority of the second half, and was using its size to its advantage in getting into a nice offensive rhythm, before foul trouble to Darrin Williams, Paris Carter and Hayden Humes ultimately caught up to the Flames. Player of the Game: Paris Carter, without a doubt. When he was in the lineup, he was the most dominant player on the floor. Eastern really had a tough time with that match-up. The Flames' perimeter players did a nice job finding Carter in the post, which was difficult to do with the 2-3 zone defensive look that EMU used all night. It certainly looks as if Carter is primed to have a great season. The most encouraging stat to me: he got to the free throw line 12 times.Key Stat: UIC commits 20 turnovers. As head coach Howard Moore would tell you, it's tough to win a game when you commit that many mishaps, especially on the road. That being said, this is a very young team, as has been documented. The coaches will live with some of those turnovers as long as the guards are being aggressive and playing within the offense. On the night, UIC's primary point guards (Gary Talton and Greg Travis) combined to dish out four assists against only three turnovers.What we learned: Quite a bit. The coaches will have some great film clips to review and breakdown with the players. Moore and Associate Head Coach Al Biancalana are both re-watching the game as we speak. What's glaring is that this team is going to be much better defensively. Marc Brown is going to be a very difficult player to score on -- he has great length, and stayed in front of EMU's dribble penetrators tonight. Also, the continued improvement of Darrin Williams and Paris Carter inside should upgrade the interior defense -- Williams had three blocks alone tonight. And while this isn't breaking news, UIC's biggest strength on the offensive side of the ball is in the frontcourt, as well. Dan Barnes appears that he will emerge as a shot-maker this season. Postgame Notebook: Junior Gary Talton, sophomore Hayden Humes and freshmen Marc Brown, Will Simonton and Greg Travis all played their first-career games in a UIC uniform ... Brown scored nine points (2-9), while Talton scored two points (1-5), pulled down four rebounds and dished out three assists against zero turnovers ... The Flames were 4-of-20 from three-point range (.200) in the game, with Barnes (2), senior Matt Bush (1) and Brown (1) all hitting threes ... UIC shot 61.1 percent from the free throw line (11-18) ... The Flames, who were the top offensive rebounding team in the Horizon League last season, corralled 15 offensive rebounds against the Eagles ... UIC was forced into 20 turnovers ... Making his return to Eastern Michigan, Barnes' line read as follows: 10 points (4-12 FG, 2-8 on 3-Pt. FGs), three assists, four steals ... Williams scored eight points, six in the first half, and pulled down five rebounds to go along with three blocks ... The Flames dropped their road opener for the fourth-straight season ... UIC is now 0-4 all-time against Eastern Michigan.

Senior center Darrin Williams, who was named Preseason All-Horizon League by CollegeSportsMadness.com, will be counted upon to be a significant focal point of UIC's offense this season. Head coach Howard Moore speaks regularly about the importance of "touching the post" in UIC's offense, and that effort begins with the 6-11 center from Louisville. Williams, who lost more than 35 pounds during the offseason, scored a career-high 14 points against Mid-American Conference member Northern Illinois last season (12/14/10).

Hurry Up and Meditate is a book for the average business person who is looking for a way to step back and maybe bring some calm into their day. Hurry Up and Meditate is written for skeptics, and as such, this well-written book is definitely geared more towards facts and research, with a focus on the physical and psychological benefits of meditation. Michie does give a nod towards spirituality and religion, and offers reassurance that meditation is a part of every major religious system, but the book is definitely non-religious in nature. He instead advocates that anyone and everyone can benefit from meditation practice, and has the research to back up his claims. In addition to advocating for meditation, Michie provides some basic meditation instruction and spends some time discussing different types of meditation. In an acknowledgment to his audience, Michie also provides a chapter on "troubleshooting," which is set up in a business-book-friendly-FAQ format. My only suggestion for strengthening this book would be a cd or link to mp3's of guided mediation sessions that a reader could access, though there are plenty of these types of things already out there, so the its lack doesn't really take away from the material. Offered by Snow Lion Publications, this is the perfect book for the businessman/woman who really sees the need for more mindfulness in their lives, but also needs some science to back up what is often perceived as a "soft" or even "hippie" lifestyle choice. Printed in the USA on acid-free recycled paper and available at your local, independent bookstore.

IMF and World Bank Support Debt Relief for Uganda
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) and the World Bank Group's International Development Association (IDA) agreed that Uganda has met the conditions for its completion point under the enhanced Heavily Indebted Poor Countries (HIPC) Initiative. Debt-service relief under the enhanced HIPC Initiative, from all Uganda's creditors, is about US$1.3 billion (US$660 million in net present value terms or about two-fifths of external debt). Including the US$650 million provided under the original Initiative, total debt-service under the HIPC Initiative relief will yield roughly US$2 billion.
Uganda's eligibility for debt relief under the enhanced HIPC Initiative is a recognition by the international community of the progress made in implementing economic reforms and poverty reduction. It also recognizes that Uganda's poverty reduction strategy, as laid out in its Poverty Reduction Strategy paper (PRSP), will contribute to continued economic growth and an improvement in the quality of life of the poor. The enhanced HIPC debt relief, by reducing Uganda's debt-service obligations, will create room for additional public expenditures on poverty reduction. Resources made available by debt relief provided under the HIPC Initiative will be channeled into the Poverty Action Fund (PAF), and allocated to key antipoverty programs, spelled out in the PRSP. The PAF has provided a transparent link between donor support, including debt relief, and the government's poverty reduction program.
The Government of Uganda is committed to protect these outlays. In this context, it has reaffirmed that in order not to jeopardize its poverty-reduction program, the government will wholly offset the recent payments related to the purchase of a presidential aircraft by cuts in defense and other non-wage expenditures.
The World Bank's enhanced HIPC Initiative debt relief amounts to nominal US$629 million (US$357 million in NPV terms), which will be provided by covering about 54 percent of debt service falling due to IDA each year over the next 20 years (after assistance under the original HIPC framework). Together with the World Bank's assistance under the original framework (which amounted to nominal US$354 million, US$160 million in NPV terms), the World Bank provides a total of nearly US$1 billion (US$517 million in NPV terms) in HIPC Initiative assistance to Uganda. The total amount of HIPC Initiative assistance committed by the IMF, about US$210 million (US$160 million in NPV terms), will allow, over a 10-year period, to cover on average 50 percent of existing debt-service obligations to the Fund. Assistance from the IMF and IDA will be provided unconditionally once the African Development Bank (AfDB), a key creditor of Uganda, confirms its participation, which is expected shortly. In the meantime, both institutions will continue to provide interim assistance.
1. Uganda
Track record and poverty reduction
Uganda has made substantial progress in implementing economic reforms. During the pastsix years, inflation came down to 5.3 percent from 16.1 percent, and the overall fiscal deficit (excluding grants) was reduced to 6.5 percent from 11.2 percent of GDP. Uganda has also made a strong structural adjustment effort in recent years, including in the areas of trade liberalization, tax administration, and public enterprise reform. Uganda has recently completed a poverty reduction strategy involving a participatory process. While Uganda remains one of the poorest countries in the world, the share of the population living in poverty declined to 44 percent in 1996/97, from 56 percent in 1992/93. Substantial improvements in social indicators have also been recorded, the most notable is in the area of primary education where enrollment reached 6.5 million children in March 1999 from 2.3 million in December 1996, and the net enrollment rate increased from 56 percent in 1995/96 to 94 percent in 1998/99.2. General
The IMF and the World Bank launched the HIPC Initiative in 1996 as the first comprehensive effort to eliminate unsustainable debt in the world's poorest, most heavily indebted countries. In October 1999, the international community agreed to make relief under the Initiative broader, deeper, and faster by increasing the number of eligible countries, raising the amount of debt relief each eligible country will receive, and speeding up the possibility of its delivery. The enhanced Initiative aims at reducing the net present value of debt at the decision point to a maximum of 150 percent of exports and will be provided on top of traditional debt relief mechanisms (Paris Club debt rescheduling on Naples terms, involving 67 percent debt reduction in NPV terms and at least comparable action by other bilateral creditors).
Thirty-six countries are expected to qualify for assistance under the enhanced HIPC Initiative, of which 29 are sub-Saharan African countries. As of early May 2000, four countries had reached their decision points under the enhanced framework (Bolivia, Mauritania, Mozambique, and Tanzania) and one country its completion point (Uganda), with total committed assistance estimated at US$12.6 billion, representing an average stock-of-debt reduction of about 50 percent on top of traditional debt relief mechanisms. In addition, three countries had reached their decision points under the original framework (Burkina Faso, Cote d'Ivoire, and Mali), while one other (Guyana) had already reached its completion point. Total assistance under the HIPC Initiative committed to these four countries amounted to US$1.7 billion, equivalent to almost 50 percent debt reduction, and will be reassessed under the enhanced Initiative.

It was perfectly OK.
Det var helt igennem OK.
This accommodation was the perfect mix between a calm and relaxing time spent either in front of the fireplace or walking along the sea shore and a diverse and culture-filled day in the city centre of Aarhus.
Our hosts were very friendly and very helpful at all times. They always had a good tip on how to enjoy our stay.
The appartment is fully furnished with all necessities and we were surprised with small extras such as maps and tourist information for Aarhus, extra blankets for cold days and floor heating in the bathroom.
My wife and I would recommend this holiday home to everyone.
We had a very nice stay at Lene and Niels place. We were welcomed in a sweet and comfortable house. The place is also good localised, 10 min by car far from the downtown of Aarhus.

Every year movie studios put out a large number of movies that are remakes, re-imagined, re-boots, or however else they want to say it of old successful movies from years past. Almost all of them are garbage and cannot hold a candle to the originals on which they are based. In most cases, there was never a reason to redo those movies in the first place. However, some movies can peak one's interest to see how they can be redone because the original movie is not classified as an "untouchable" movie. One such franchise is 1989's "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" which is being redone by producer Michael bay.
Paramount Pictures released the first teaser trailer to the movie earlier today, March 27. You can check it out for yourself by clicking the video above. The "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" trailer begins with William Fichtner telling April O'Neil (Megan Fox) how crime, violence and fear are running rampant and how the city is being destroyed by it. He then goes on to say how heroes are not born, but are created. We then get a shot of what can only be described as "ooze". This is an interesting note because there was a lot of hoopla regarding this movie because it was said the turtles would actually be aliens from another planet, instead of being exposed to some kind of radioactive chemical that made them what they are know to be.
The trailer ends on a funny note as April, who is wearing the yellow jacket she was known for in the cartoon series, meets some of the turtles for the first time. Michelangelo tells her not to freak out because they are only wearing masks. He then removes his to reveal his full turtle face.
The minute and a half trailer makes it look like there will be plenty of action and comedy in this movie. Plus, the turtles DO look pretty damn bad ass. Audiences will know for sure when "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles" is released on August 8.
The trailer also gives the movie's website, but when this article went to print, you must have permission to log into it. Apparently, the trailer went up before the website was ready.

Today, Bandai Namco Games America announced Rise of the Incarnates, a 2 vs. 2 free-to-play title that bleeds the essence of the fighting genre. Made over the past three years by some of the creators of the critically acclaimed Tekken and SoulCalibur, Bandai is seeking to popularize the gametype extremely popular in Japan.
Players take the role of "Incarnates," humans that have untold powers as they attempt to change the world. Both feared and despised by the general public and used by governments for their abilities, the Incarnates have taken to battle after being called to destroy the ""Sovereign of this era."
Examiner recently got hands on with the title and got to play all four of the revealed Incarnates: Ares, Lilith, Mephistopheles, and Grim Reaper. Each has a distinct playstyle that when combined with your partner opens up incredible combo opportunities. Every champion has a ranged and melee attack which can be empowered to a superior version which does more damage or covers more ground. It's the ultimate abilities of these characters that truly differentiate them however.
Ares summons an armored guard that allows him to pull off combos by himself. Mephistopheles evolves to a superior form which does more damage and recharges his abilities faster. The Grim Reaper, perhaps the most characteristic of the bunch summons a hoard of zombies which he rolls on top of, crushing and trapping enemies underneath him. They're all a ton of fun to work towards and can serve as complete game changers.
The emphasis on teamwork is humongous, without the proper focus and strategy the enemy team can separate you and pick you apart. Each duo is tasked with running the enemy team out of lives. Both members share a cumulative pool that eventually runs out and determines the winners.
Battling on multiple maps across real world locations including New York, Paris, San Francisco, London, Rise of the Incarnates could end up being the next incredibly competitive eSports title.
"The opportunity to optimize our content is the key to [our] success," comments In Joon Hwang, Director of Digital Games.
Many were curious as to why Bandai Namco went with a free-to-play model and his answer was incredibly discerning.
"Premium purchase either locks you into losing players and looking elsewhere [for potential purchasers] or giving in and changing your game." Hwang continues, "Free-to-play allows you to have players return in three years because [the experience] has improved."
And Bandai Namco is putting everything it has into making this a thoroughly enjoyable experience. "We have our brand name to uphold," says Hwang. "We cannot disappoint you."
Entering closed alpha towards the end of May or early June and releasing in the latter half of 2015 exclusively on PC, Rise of the Incarnates looks to be another revolutionary step in the free-to-play genre.
