Firefighters watch as home burns in "pay to spray" plan
A cousin of mine posted this story on Facebook, wondering what sort of back eye police departments would get if they instituted policies like this. I thought this was a hoax story when I first saw it, but multiple media outlets had something on it. (It's even making news in the right honorable U.K.)
Home burns while firefighters watch, again
Reporter – Jason Hibbs
Photojournalist – Mason Watkins
OBION COUNTY, Tenn. — A local family watches their home burn to the ground and just a few feet behind them, firefighters watch, too.
It's happened multiple times before in one local community: firefighters refuse to respond because the homeowner didn't pay a fire subscription fee.
The last time this happened, the city of South Fulton, Tennessee, received a lot of heat nationwide for this policy. That was more than a year ago but nothing has changed.
The mayor said it comes down to simple business. If they don't collect fire fees, the fire department can't survive and if they make exceptions to the rule, no one will ever pay the fee.
Besides that, he likes the "pay for spray" policy and said it's fair.
But that's hard to stomach when you've just lost your home and everything you've worked for.
"In an emergency, the first thing you think of, 'Call 9-1-1," homeowner Vicky Bell said.
Firefighters came out.
Bell said, "9-1-1 said they were in fact dispatched and they showed that they were on the scene."
But once on the scene, they only watched.
"You could look out my mom's trailer and see the trucks sitting at a distance," Bell said.
For Bell, that sight was almost as disturbing as the fire itself.
"We just wished we could've gotten more out," Bell said.
It's a controversial policy that we've dealt with before. If you live in the city, you get fire protection but if not, you have to pay the $75 fire protection fee each year. With this policy, the city makes no exceptions.
"There's no way to go to every fire and keep up the manpower, the equipment, and just the funding for the fire department," Mayor David Crocker said.
And Crocker said by now, everyone should know about the city's fire policy.
"After the last situation, I would hope that everybody would be well aware of the rural fire fees, this time," Crocker said.
Bell and her boyfriend admitted they were aware but thought this would never happen to them.
For tonight, this hotel is home and they're happy be alive.
In this follow up, locals say they are concerned about the reputation of their Tennessee community. You think?

What is nerve block therapy?
Nerve block therapy is the term used to refer to a variety of outpatient surgical procedures which are intended for the relief of pain caused by bulging discs, bone spurs, nerve root compression, scar tissue and other conditions. These procedures involve an injection directly into the area of pain.
How does it work?
In most cases a combination of a local anesthetic and a cortisone drug (steroid) are injected into the area which is the root of the pain. Steroids are powerful anti-inflammatory medications which can act to reduce swelling and irritation in and around the affected nerve, thus alleviating the pain.
What are the different types of nerve block therapies?
Peripheral Nerve Block:
Involves injection of local anesthetics/steroid mixture into the painful areas (ie: peripheral nerves, trigger points, bursitis, tendonitis)
Central Nerve Block:
All central nerve blocks are performed under fluoroscopic guidance. (Examples Listed)

Vincente Minnelli, USA, 1958, 116 minutes
Gigi was unfortunately the last of the great MGM musicals, but what a way to end a genre already filled with classics! Based on the novel by Colette, Gigi tells the story of a young girl (Leslie Caron) who is reared by her grandmother and great aunt to follow family tradition by becoming a courtesan. The family is scandalised, however, when the handsome and eligible Gaston Lachaille (Louis Jordan) proposes marriage to her.
Despite the delightful performances of Caron and Jordan, the film is almost stolen by Hermione Gingold and Maurice Chevalier, who perform the classic and touching "I remember it well" - just one musical highlight in a film containing many.
Gigi is a stylish triumph from start to finish, magnificently photographed in Metrocolor and CinemaScope by Joseph Ruttenberg to highlight the sumptuous costumes and sets. But the real praise deserves to go to the team of director Vincente Minelli and producer Arthur Freed. Sustaining the brilliance of their earlier musicals, like Meet Me in St Louis and An American in Paris, Gigi once again displays brilliant use of colour and rare ability to portray a romance simply and delightfully without becoming bogged down in schmaltz. The film deservedly won eight Oscars, includ Best Picture, Direction, Screenplay~ and Score.

First impression on unpacking the Q702 test unit was the solid feel and clean, minimalist styling.
For work use, Microsoft Word and Excel programs pre-installed on the device are adequate for preparing short documents.
The Fujitsu LifeBook UH574 allowed for great mobility without being obnoxiously heavy or clunky. Its twelve hours of battery life did not disappoint.
The screen was particularly good. It is bright and visible from most angles, however heat is an issue, particularly around the Windows button on the front, and on the back where the battery housing is located.
My first impression after unboxing the Q702 is that it is a nice looking unit. Styling is somewhat minimalist but very effective. The tablet part, once detached, has a nice weight, and no buttons or switches are located in awkward or intrusive positions.

Teddy Theme of Spirituality
"Teddy" explores different ideas in Eastern religious philosophy, focusing on reincarnation, Zen kōans (a.k.a. philosophical riddles), transcendence, detachment, and enlightenment. The story makes the point that living a spiritual life is very difficult in America, and shows some stereotypical American resistance to Eastern ideas. Main character Teddy maintains that it is the soul, not the body, which matters; therefore, physical pleasures and any sort of materialism are to be avoided.
Questions About Spirituality
- How does Salinger blend ideas from different religions to construct Teddy's own religious philosophy? What does this say about religion and spirituality?
- What is the distinction between Eastern and Western thought as portrayed in "Teddy"?
- Check out Salinger's description of Teddy's clothes, body, and facial features. How does Teddy's physicality compare to his mental and spiritual status? What do you make of this juxtaposition?
- Early in the text, Teddy claims that he was close to enlightenment in his previous life – not so close that he could have died and stayed with God, but pretty close. What are we meant to think of Teddy's post-mortem fate this time around? Has he achieved enlightenment, and will he be reincarnated yet again? (This question assumes you agree with the popular theory that Teddy is dead at the end of the story. You don't have to, of course.)
Chew on This
A reader need not have any background in Eastern religions nor even grasp the nuances of Teddy's philosophical argument to understand "Teddy."
To understand "Teddy," a reader needs to be well versed in the religious philosophy Teddy discusses.

Morning MoneyBeat: Helicopter Ben's Co-Pilot Ready to Step Up
MARKET SNAP: At 6:15 a.m. ET, S&P 500 futures up 0.4%. Treasury yields flat. Nymex up 7 cents at $103.56. Gold down 0.6% at $1,312. In Europe, FTSE 100 flat, DAX up 0.2% and CAC 40 up 0.6%. In Asia, Nikkei 225 up 1% and Hang Seng down 0.6%.
WATCH FOR: MBA Weekly Mortgage Applications Survey (7:00 a.m. Eastern Time). IMF Global Financial Stability Report (8:30). EIA Weekly Petroleum Status Report (10: 30). FOMC meeting minutes and economic forecast (14:00). Costco, Family Dollar Stores and Ruby Tuesday are scheduled to reports quarterly results.
Obviously fiscal gridlock in Washington remains on top of investor intrays and, for as long as it does, real progress will be hard for stocks.
All the same the indexes may take some modest heart at President Obama's apparent desire to appoint Janet Yellen as Ben Bernanke's successor at the Fed. This news seems to have helped support Asian markets, where they do like the thought of another dove in charge at the Fed. Mind, a stronger dollar may have played just as strong a role, and European bourses have still been dominated events, or the lack of them, in D.C..
Ms. Yellen has been heiress presumptive at the Fed ever since Larry Summers declared himself out of the race in September, and the markets have already had ample time to mull what a Yellen Fed would look like. As a natural monetary successor to Bernanke, good for stocks, not so good for the dollar, seems to be the consensus.
Away from either Fed or Congress, Alcoa kicked off the U.S. earnings season in some style overnight, exceeding expectations, but expect such details as corporate performance to get lost in the white noise of shutdown.
Morning MoneyBeat Daily Factoid: On this day in 1876, Alexander Graham Bell and Thomas Watson made their longest telephone call to date. It was a distance of two miles.
-By David Cottle
Costco is projected to report fourth-quarter earnings of $1.46 a share, according to a consensus survey by Thomson Reuters. "We expect a generally in line quarter anticipating limited stock price reactions based on both implied moves suggested by options market and recent history," Bob Summers, an analyst at Susquehanna, said in a note. Investors are expected to focus on core gross margin performance and membership fee income growth.
Family Dollar Stores is forecast to post earnings of 84 cents a share in the fourth quarter. The retailer's gross margins could come in "slightly weaker than anticipated due to clearing of carryover seasonal merchandise," said Dutch Fox, an analyst at FBR.
Chevron is scheduled to release its mid-quarter update on its production and refining business for the third quarter.
Yellen Hearings Likely Long: "Budget battles could draw out the process of confirming Janet Yellen as chairwoman of the Federal Reserve and provide a new venue to debate the effectiveness and duration of the central bank's bond-buying program."
Tensions Ratchet Up in Debt Battle: "President Obama warned of "economic chaos" if a political stalemate causes the U.S. to no longer be able to pay its bills, and said he would accept even a short-term increase in the borrowing limit to give lawmakers time to negotiate."
U.K. Banks Ready Plans for U.S. Default: "Some banks in the U.K. are talking with regulators and drawing up internal plans on how they would cope if the U.S. fails to increase its borrowing limit."
Iran Readies Offer for Nuclear Limit: "Iran is preparing a package of proposals to halt production of near-weapons-grade nuclear fuel, a key demand of the U.S. and other global powers, according to officials briefed on diplomacy ahead of talks in Geneva next week."
Trans-Pacific Trade Talks Hit Thorny Home Stretch: "The largest trade pact in years is about much more than trade—and that is predictably complicating matters as negotiators enter the home stretch of discussions to create it."
U.S. to Suspend Most Financial Aid to Egypt: "The Obama administration is set to suspend most financial assistance to Egypt, except aid targeted for counterterrorism operations and the defense of Israel, in an announcement expected as early as Friday, U.S. officials said."
Deutsche Bank Trades Subways for Surfboards: "A new breed of bankers are working hundreds of miles from the financial industry's historical roots in lower Manhattan."

Sometimes you want a dive bar, a place where a select few gather for conversation, where a limited variety of alcohol is offered so the prices are reasonable and where the loudest sound is the crack of a cue ball.
Other times, you want the neighborhood tavern, a rowdier joint where the jukebox or television blares, where the drinks are fancier but pricier and where the bodies packing in as the night progresses make you feel like you're crammed into a sardine can.
Somewhere in between is the Green Room at 2179 Niagara St. This bar aims to bring back a neighborhood tavern and grill to the Riverside-Black Rock area by offering less expensive drinks and an extensive bar menu with food service until closing.
Looking at the large building from the outside, one would expect the Green Room to be packed with more than 50 people, but upon entering on a recent Friday night, six patrons and the bartender turned to see who allowed the heavy door to slam shut. The Internet jukebox was silent while tru TV's "World's Dumbest Inventions" was featured on the large screen above the bar and laughter filled the room. If hockey and football aren't available, a good laugh is always welcome.
While there isn't much green to the place, the floor plan is spacious, with the bar at one end of the large room and four tables, three booths and pool and foosball tables filling out the rest. A dark atmosphere is interrupted by only a few lamps over the bar, lighting for the pool table area and several strands of Christmas lights. Several beer signs, a large "River Rock Community Coalition" banner and dart boards line the walls, and the area above the ATM is dedicated to ribbons and awards earned from barbecue competitions. Large cutouts of Marilyn Monroe and Elvis designate which restroom is for whom.
Happy hour from 4 to 7 p.m. features canned beers ($2) including Molson, Labatt Blue, Blue Light, Coors Light, Bud, Bud Light, Michelob Ultra and Corona. Coors Light also is on tap ($2 pints and $6 pitchers), and $2 well drinks and shots round out happy hour. The other taps include Rolling Rock and Pabst Blue Ribbon.
This particular Friday night remained quiet, but the bartender guaranteed that Sabres games and parties bring in the crowds. He added that draft beer only is served for parties, leaving cans as the only beer option most nights. Well and other mixed drinks are available, and $5 bought a pretty stiff Long Island Iced Tea.
After several hours of laughing at dumb inventions, playing darts and chatting, it was time to call it a night.
We made a return trip the following Saturday for the Sabres game, and the experience was quite the opposite. Music filled the air, jean-clad revelers in their 20s to their 70s gathered for a birthday party and the taps were flowing. A box of Almaden white wine was added to the bar ($3 a glass). Even though about 40 people packed the place, there still was room to see the game, dance and get to the bar for a refill without bumping into anybody.
The Green Room's mix of ample space, inexpensive drinks and large food selection makes it a great place to catch a game, host a party or meet friends.
The Green Room
Where: 2179 Niagara St. (249-5888, thegreenroombuffalo.webs.com)
Hours: 4 p.m. to 2 a.m. Wednesday and Thursday; 4 p.m. to 4 a.m. Friday and Saturday.
Dress: Casual.
Parking: Street.
Other notes: Full menu until closing. Also offers takeout, banquets and drop-off catering. ATM available, credit cards accepted. Patio open during warmer months. Year-round dart leagues.

It's not just the off-road vehicle inventory at Woods Fun Center that can navigate any terrain. The Austin, Texas, dealership is adjusting to market conditions with a hiring burst.
The dealership, a former Top 100 Dealer, started by creating the position of used vehicle buyer, and will continue later this month with a sales job fair.
"We're making a big push for used product this year. We buy them outright," said GM Cary Glandt. The new used-bike buyer, hired last fall, reportedly runs around the area all day, buying up used motorcycles.
Indeed, things seem to be looking up for the store, which had to endure not only the nationwide market downturn but a devastating fire a few years ago. Today, sales is showing signs of new life across all vehicle types.
"We're seeing really good signs in January," Glandt told Dealernews. "Our last five months we've been up considerably."
The sales burst hasn't been concentrated in any one vehicle type. Woods Fun Center keeps about 200 vehicles – motorcycles, ATVs, SSVs, scooters, PWC, and even boats, plus generators and pumps – from Honda, Suzuki, Yamaha, Polaris and BRP on the showroom floor.
Glandt took over store management in 2007, when new inventory was still plentiful.
"The manufacturers were pushing a lot of inventory," Glandt said. "The prices were lower, so the gap between new and used pricing was not as big."
When the recession hit, OEMs reined in shipments, making new vehicles scarce and increasing demand for used (and in some cases repossessed) vehicles. For a while, repossession auctions helped drive down prices, but that trend is stabilizing.
A recent search on Woods' website turned up 82 used vehicles. It's a profitable segment in a college town, where students may move in, ride a vehicle for a few years while attending school, then sell when they go home or off to jobs elsewhere.
Demand is high enough that Woods Fun Center will hold a job fair from 6 to 8 p.m. Jan. 25 for sales associates in vehicles and PG&A. Glandt said the store will probably hire as many as 25 people by spring.
"For good people they are permanent jobs; for so-so people probably just seasonal," he said. "They are commission jobs so people who are good at it can sustain themselves during the winter."
Back from the ashes. Think back to April 2010 when the dealership's future wasn't so bright. Employees who saw smoke outside one evening ran out and discovered a shed behind the main building was on fire. The blaze gobbled up $1.2 million in recently acquired inventory stacked in crates. The loss was insured.
"I thought we were going to lose three or four motorcycles. When the fire department got here it looked like no big deal, but it burned so hot they just couldn't get it out. I never knew that a motorcycle could burn down to a thing about the size of a coffee cup," Glandt said."It affected us for probably the rest of the year. People thought we were out of business."
Luckily, some fuel storage tanks nearby were spared. If the fire had spread to them, he says, "at that point we would have lost the showroom."

Rescuing stranded, drifting boaters is a regular job for those who man the city's police and fire boats, especially as summer weather draws more boaters to the water. But lately it's not boaters, but unmanned boats that have been keeping city officials busy.
Two boats are currently filling with water and sinking below the docks of the Marietta Harbor where they are moored. The boats appear to be lost or abandoned by their owners, leaving the city searching for owners and babysitting the boats in the meantime.
One of them, a half sunken metal speedboat, has been towed ashore more than once this year, according to Marietta Fire Lt. Mike Dietsch.

An old speedboat moored at the Marietta Harbor sits slightly submerged at the docks Monday. The city is currently searching for the owner of it and another boat docked there.
JASMINE ROGERS The Marietta Times
"I'm not sure where it was retrieved the first time, but we tied up below the Lafayette, and it got loose again and we had to go get it," he said.
The fire department has had to pump water out of another sinking boat docked at the Marietta Harbor. The yellow ski boat was left by its out-of-state owner at the Marietta Harbor docks late last summer, said Marietta Safety-Service Director Jonathan Hupp.
"He entered into an arrangement with WASCO, because they are the harbor masters, for a daily rental. Basically, he has not made good on his contract," said Hupp.
Fact Box
Unmanned boats
Unmanned boats are retrieved by Marietta's fire and police boats approximately once or twice a year-much less frequently than manned boats are rescued.
Such boats are usually reunited with their owners.
Currently, two boats-one retrieved by the city fire boat and one left at a city dock-are being cared for by the city.
If owners do not come forward, Ohio Revised Code will eventually give the city the right to take possession of the boats and auction them.

Marietta City Law Director Paul Bertram III is in the process of trying to contact the owner via certified mail. If the owner does not claim the boat within a certain period of time, the Ohio Revised Code gives the city authority to take possession of the boat and auction it off, said Bertram.
Ideally the owner will come settle his contract for docking the boat and take possession, said Hupp. Otherwise, the boat will require a significant amount of city manpower to get it out of the water and onto the auction block.
Even then, the boat's owner has a certain period of time to claim the auction earnings before the city can officially call the money theirs, said Bertram.
The speed boat poses a different problem in that it does not appear to have any registration or identification number, according to Dietsch.
While calls for the Marietta police and fire boats to retrieve unmanned boats are not as common as other calls-boats stuck on sandbars, taking on water, or out of gas, for instance-they do happen once or twice a year, estimated Dietsch.
He said he can never remember a boat fully sinking before being retrieved. But if one sank in relatively shallow water, the fire department's dive team would likely be called in to attach a tow line to the boat for retrieval.
Det. Aaron Nedeff, one of the Marietta Police officers trained in inland boat operation, said the Marietta Police rescued a drifting boat that had been reported stolen around the time of the last Ohio River Sternwheel Festival in September.
"It had come loose in Devola, and we found it down by the (House of Wines) and towed it back," he recalled.
The police and fire boats, both of which were acquired by grants and put into action last year, consider such boat rescues a public safety service and do not charge boat owners for the service, added Nedeff.
Officials could not put a cost estimate on rescuing such boats, but Dietsch said small boats can often be retrieved by a two-man crew. The most recent rescue of the speedboat took approximately 30 minutes, he said, but retrievals can range from 15 minutes to more than an hour depending on where the boat is and what sort of challenges it poses.

The Dothan Education Foundation and the Wiregrass Foundation presented a grassroots initiative to involve the public in the school system.
It's called, Yes We Can Dothan.
City leaders, school officials, teachers, students and other members of the community came to the Dothan Civic Center Tuesday, in support of the program.
News 4 learned how the program is expected to help Dothan City Schools.
Local leaders pulled off a branch of Yes We Can Dothan to improve public education in the city of Dothan.
According to Virginia Christian, the operations manager said, "The main goal of Yes We Can Dothan is to get the community voice, to get what people want out of their education system and out of their community and have it presented to their school board and superintendent and say this is what we want."
Dothan citizens and school officials say they hope the program will do the same for Dothan as it did in Mobile County, after their school system reached an all time low.
"Five years ago, after Mobile started this; they're now in second place in test scores behind Hoover. How about that," says Mr. Morris Slingluff, the co-chairman, of Yes We Can Dothan.
Organizers hope that in the end, high school graduation rates will go up and students will be better prepared for college or a new career.
"We have to step in and raise our children and we know that if our children ultimately go to Penn State, or the state pen, it's up to us," says Judge Rose Gordon, another co-chairperson, Yes We Can Dothan.
Officials on the Board of Education are looking forward to having extra support from parents and members of the community.
"We're excited about the possibilities and to have this kind of response to this effort is just so encouraging for us. As the superintendant of the Board of Education, we are looking to real good things happening to this community in the future," says Dr. Sam Nichols, superintendent of Dothan City Schools.
Yes we can Dothan applies to all Dothan City Schools, and soon enough, there will be community meetings being held to address the issues at each facility.
All citizens of Dothan are encouraged to participate.
For more information on upcoming meetings in your area, you can contact Virginia Christian, the operations manager, at 836- 0217, extension 109.

The Tech Gender Gap
Microsoft released a survey of college science, math and engineering majors this month that underscored differences between the motivations of male and female students.
The top two reasons for choosing a science-tech major were "good salary out of school" and intellectual stimulation, but salary was the top choice for men, intellectual stimulation the top pick for women. (Students could name more than one.)
Fifty-one percent of male majors said they chose their subject in part because of past experience with related games, toys, books, or clubs; for women that figure was only 35%. In contrast, 68% of women credited a particular high-school class or teacher with turning them on to the subject, compared with 51% for men.
Women were more inclined to say that they wanted to "make a difference" (49%) relative to men (34%). And men seemed more inclined toward the view that math and science were topics you were simply intrinsically good at, or not: 81% of women but only 60% of men said studying hard was extremely important or essential to success.
The survey comprised 500 undergraduates, ages 18-24, and was weighted to be representative of U.S. undergraduate college students.
A separate survey was done of nearly 1,100 parents of students in grades K-12. Among parents with a preference, scientist or engineer was their top career choice for their offspring (dads were more likely to push this) But the professions that parents thought their children were most attracted to were "artist or designer" and "actor/musician/performer."
Twenty-eight percent of parents gave their children's schools an "A" grade for preparing their children for technology careers—and 41% awarded a "B"—which strikes me as overly optimistic.

The Appellate Body's GSP decision 1
CHARNOVITZ: The Appellate Body's decision in the Tariff Preferences case demonstrates the value of a second-level review of panel decisions. Notwithstanding the composition of the panel – which was as highly qualified, balanced, and diverse as any panel could possibly be – the panel issued a decision that met widespread disapproval. In what is probably a record for third-party support of the plaintiff, eight countries asked the Appellate Body to reverse key points. Happily, the Appellate Body did reverse many of the troubling holdings in the panel report. Unhappily for the world community, the Appellate Body did not have an opportunity to review the panel's interpretation of GATT Article XX, which (like many previous panels) has chiseled away at vital exceptions.(Published Online August 24 2004)

The Clean and Sober Court, developed by Santa Barbara Fighting Back and the Santa Barbara Police Department, gives nonviolent misdemeanor or felony offenders who plead guilty to their crime an opportunity to receive alcohol and drug treatment rather than being incarcerated. The program is built upon the creation of a non-adversarial courtroom atmosphere where a single judge and a dedicated team of court officers and staff work together toward the common goal of breaking the cycle of drug abuse and criminal behavior.
Because of the unique problems and opportunities that present themselves in working with drug-involved criminal defendants, treatment and rehabilitation strategies must be "reality-based." Clients are referred after an initial "dryout" in jail to an outpatient or residential treatment program, and/or a sober living facility.
Adult offenders with felonies or misdemeanors participate in a minimum of six months of treatment. The outpatient treatment program at Project Recovery helps Clean and Sober Court clients get on the road to recovery through 90-minute group sessions, individual counseling, and case management. The program builds awareness of relapse triggers and helps clients develop relapse prevention and refusal skills; assists clients in building a sober support team and network in their community through 12-Step/ Self-Help groups; and encourages growth of self-esteem and interpersonal communication skills. Treatment also incorporates random drug testing to support clients in maintaining abstinence.
In an evaluation of the Clean and Sober Court program (2004), 74% of clients graduating from the program were still sober after six months, were employed and living in a stable environment; and were actively participating in their recovery.
Project Recovery also provides treatment for clients of the Substance Abuse Treatment Court (SATC), a federal drug court model program, in which the defendant waives the right to have a jury trial before entering treatment. This program allows serious drug offenders to engage in 12-18 months of supervised treatment under a single treatment provider to earn a dismissal of the charge.
A treatment plan is developed for each participant which involves individual and group counseling, frequent drug testing, regular AA or NA meetings and weekly court appearances.
To graduate, a defendant must complete the entire course of treatment and must have had no dirty tests or program violations for at least 6 months. Any failure in programming or dirty test is dealt with by use of graduated sanctions, from increased intensity of programming to incarceration. Clients pass through phases of treatment which begin with attending treatment for four days a week during the first six months, three days a week for three months, twice a week for three months, followed by a six-month aftercare phase in which clients attend groups once a week.
Project Recovery also provides treatment for clients referred to us under SACPA, the Substance Abuse Crime Prevention Act of 2000 (California Proposition 36). The purpose of SACPA is to divert from incarceration into community-based substance abuse treatment programs nonviolent defendants, probationers, and parolees charged with simple drug possession or drug use offenses. The intensity and duration of treatment varies according to the assessment of the client's level of addiction, but it is a minimum 6-month program.
Treatment protocols include relapse prevention groups, peer support groups, drug and alcohol education, introduction to the 12-Steps, individual counseling, random drug testing, regular court reviews, and support services.
Project Recovery also provides treatment for clients in the Clean and Sober Drug Court. Clients are in treatment for a minimum of 9 months. In addition to the same components of the other drug courts, this program also has a mental health component for clients with a dual diagnosis that includes free psychiatric visits and medication.

There are going to be many Machiavellian twists and turns in the Benitez saga before hes gone...I fear u beloved Rafa will bedevil this club of ours for quite some time yet for reasons I explained on another post today. In that post I spoke of the risk very serious risk of us becoming the next Leeds virtually via default ..no pun intended where the debtwas concerned lol.
..the fact that Dalglish has said something makes me suspect it is a 'I'm here' message to the owners...
Dalglish is not stupid and he probably feels it is important to push himself into the limelight and show himself as a 'loyal' person....just in case there is a knee-jerk reaction on Sunday....clever....

ADD & ADHD Health Center
Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) - Treatment Overview
Treatment of attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) relies on a combination of medicines and behavior therapy. Treatment with medicine depends on the age of your child. The first step is an accurate diagnosis of ADHD and an understanding of your child's strengths and weaknesses. Learning about ADHD will help you and your child's siblings better understand how to help your child.
Your child's doctor may recommend that your child take a stimulant medicine. These medicines include amphetamine (for example, Adderall or Dexedrine) and methylphenidate (for example, Concerta, Metadate CD, or Ritalin). Stimulants improve symptoms in about 70 out of 100 children who have ADHD.1
If stimulant medicines have bothersome side effects or aren't effective, your child's doctor might recommend a nonstimulant medicine such as atomoxetine (Strattera), clonidine (Kapvay), or guanfacine (Intuniv). These medicines may be used alone or in combination with stimulant medicines.
- ADHD: Should My Child Take Medicine for ADHD?
Behavior therapy
Through behavior therapy, parents learn strategies, such as positive reinforcement, to improve a child's behaviors. Children learn skills for problem solving, communication, and self-advocacy. Behavior therapy is more helpful when used with medicine than when used by itself.
Some children with ADHD also have other conditions, such as anxiety or oppositional defiant disorder. Behavior therapy can help treat some of these conditions.
Counseling may help children and adults who have ADHD recognize problem behaviors and learn ways to deal with them. For both parents and children, counseling can be a place to air frustrations and deal with stress. To learn more, see Other Treatment.
There are many things you can do to help your child at home and at school. To learn more, see Home Treatment.

Food Fridays: In Bangkok, a Chef Who Cares About Details
By Warangkana Chomchuen
BANGKOK – To find out what the fuss is all about at Krua Apsorn, a popular Thai restaurant in Bangkok, one has to look beyond the bland décor and folksy ambience.
Two brightly lit rooms, checkered vinyl tablecloths, and a clientele of mostly Thai families may not evoke a sense of fine Thai dining. But many Thai foodies will tell you this is the place to get authentic Thai food at good prices.
The secret of Krua Apsorn – which means "Apsorn's kitchen" – is in the attention to every detail by its chef, Chanchawee Sakunkan, who is better known as "Aunt Dang." On any given day, you will see Aunt Dang directing her kitchen staff and making sure they do things the way she likes, from how to wrap Chinese broccoli leaves to how much dipping sauce should be served.
"Our customers remember Krua Apsorn from the attention and care I put into every single dish. I'm very particular, and I know my kitchen crews hate me for that," Aunt Dang said dryly. "I get on their nerves sometimes."
Judging from how packed the restaurant is, Aunt Dang's attentiveness probably has paid off. Auntie Dang has sourced and selected ingredients by herself since she opened her restaurant over a decade ago. She cleans or supervises the cleaning of all vegetables by herself. She has befriended market vendors and asked around until she can have access to superb basil leaves. Tamarind from her famous yellow curry has to be from a specific province outside of Bangkok. She orders turmeric from a city hundreds of miles from the capital, and the list goes on.
To make a miang, first wrap a Chinese broccoli leave into a cone. Then put the fillings that fancy you, or all of them, into the cone before putting half a teaspoon of sauce – which is made from dried shrimp, ginger, shallot and sugar – on top of it. As you munch, your taste buds will experience different kinds of flavors that burst out simultaneously, from the zest of lime, the mild spice of shallot and chili, and with sweetness of the sauce. You can ask for more Chinese broccoli leaves at no charge if you run out. Young, eager staff will go fetch some more for you.
The crowd-favorite appetizer here is Miang Bai Ka Na, or Chinese broccoli leaf wrap, with different kinds of tiny fillings. Making a miang, or a wrap, is fun and it will keep you preoccupied for a while. Miang Bai Ka Na is served in a leaf-shaped platter, featuring a small stack of Chinese broccoli leaves and different fillings, such as dried shrimp, nuts, pork crackling and tiny cubes of lime, ginger, Thai chilies and shallot. Krua Apsorn uses pork crackling, instead of fried coconut slices, because it is more tender to the tongue. Each Chinese broccoli leaf is soft spotless and kept in the fridge just enough to be chilled.
The main dishes that seem to find a spot on every table are Poo Pad Prik Lueang and Gang Lueang Lai Bua.
Poo Pad Prik Lueang is a stir-fry lump of crabmeat with Thai yellow chilies, yard-long beans and kaffir lime leaves. Auntie Dang takes a lot of pride in the crabmeat, selected from crabs' legs, that is fresh and fat.
Auntie Dang fried chopped Thai yellow chili with kaffir lime leaves only long enough for the natural aroma to come out, before adding chopped yard long beans and crabmeat for a quick fry. While crabmeat is the highlight of the dish, it is the subtle fragrance of the bruised kaffir lime leaves that lingers on for much longer. Crispy, tender yard-long beans help absorb the spiciness from yellow peppers, ensuring they don't overpower the other ingredients.
Gang Lueang Lai Bua or lotus shoots and freshwater prawn in yellow curry is served in a small size bowl, but never underestimate its fire power. Yellow curry is a curry traditionally made in the south of Thailand and well-known for its high-degree of hot and spice. Auntie Dang fine-tuned the soup and controlled the spice just enough to make it palatable for most people.
Unlike the more well-known coconut-based green curry, Gang Lueang has a turmeric and tamarind base, and, therefore, has a much lighter texture. The curry itself is a perfect blend of hot, sweet and sour tastes. The young lotus shoots, about the size of a pinky finger, are crunchy and absorb the curry flavors like sponge.
If you don't go for spicy, opt for Kai Jeaw Poo — Thai crab omelet – a round omelet stuffed with a stack of crabmeat – or Laab Hed Fang, which is lime-sour salad mix of tender mushroom and minced pork. Craving for something a little sweeter? Try Palo, a bowl of eggs stewed with meat in five-spice powder, soy sauce, garlic and ginger.
Krua Apsorn does well on the dessert front, as well. I especially liked the fragrant coconut juice ice cream. Though dubbed as an ice cream, this dessert is actually a fragrant coconut sorbet. It is light and not overly sweet as is true of traditional Thai coconut ice cream.
Prices are very reasonable. Poo Pad Prik Lueang is one of the most expensive dishes, at 320 baht, or $10. Other dishes cost between 100 to 150 baht.
Call in and reserve Krua Apsorn's recommended dishes, because they often run out in late afternoon.
Many people order food for takeout. But Aunt Dang will tell you — if she's not too busy — that the food tastes so much better when you have it right away.

The latest Globe Shopper Index has crowned KL as the runner-up for best cities to shop in Asia Pacific, ahead of Singapore and Sydney.
Our city is not solely ours, as international shoppers start to recognise its attractiveness and flock to town. In the recent Globe Shopper Index, initiated by shopping tourism company Global Blue in conjunction with the Economist Intelligence Unit, KL tops 23 other cities to become one of the best shopping destinations in Asia Pacific.
Only Hong Kong scores higher than KL, making it the champion city. Completing the top 5 are Shanghai, Beijing and Singapore respectively. In the bottom half of the top 10 shopping destinations are Sydney, Bangkok, Tokyo, Seoul and Delhi.
In the survey, five main aspects are factored in to determine how ideal is a city as a shopping destination. The measured aspects are shops, affordability, convenience, hotels and transport, and culture and climate.
KL clinches a high overall score (65.0 as compared to Hong Kong's 68.0 and Shanghai's 63.0) due to its affordability and wide choice of premium brands to shop from. The city's public transport is rated moderately high, although not as convenient as some of other Asia Pacific's shopping destinations.
"Kuala Lumpur's specific strength is its ability to combine low prices with a good range of products in a large number of stores, including three of the world's 10 biggest shopping malls," the index report stated.
Malaysia has been grooming herself to be synonymous with shopping, as apparent from the recent effort to market Bukit Bintang area and KLCC as the country's 'premier shopping precinct'.
To this, we are both grateful and fearful. Malaysia's rapid development as one of Asia's main tourism destinations is good news to the country's economic growth at large. In addition to that, the act of attracting more international tourists will see KL, and hopefully other cities, getting better public facilities – including transportations and security system.
However, the focus on premium shopping in Malaysia may encourage the locals to be more consumptive and in turn cause inflation. Home industries are another economic group that might suffer from the backlash of such a high-class society, for the government may focus less in ensuring their longevity – all in the name of accommodating the international investors in the country.

Calculating MachinesStepped Drum Calculating Machines
The distinguished mathematician and philosopher Gottfried William Leibniz started thinking about stepped drum calculating machines in the 1670s, and an eighteenth century instrument built on his design survives. However, it was the French insurance executive Charles Xavier Thomas (1785-1870) who invented and sold the first commercially successful calculating machine. Proposed in 1820, it would sell successfully from about 1850.
Thomas's calculating machine, which he dubbed the arithmometer, had cylindrical brass drums, each with nine teeth that varied in length. If a setting lever was at "9", it engaged nine teeth, at 8, eight teeth and so forth. This stepped drum mechanism would be modified over time, with different metals used for the stepped drums, much of the drum cut away, and different arrangement of the teeth on the gears. Nonetheless, the stepped drum survived as part of some calculating machines as long as they were manufactured.
"Calculating Machines - Stepped Drum Calculating Machines" showing 1 items.
Thomas Arithmometer
- Description
- This stepped drum, manual non-printing calculating machine has a brass mechanism that fits well in a wooden case. Eight levers slide up to enter digits. A stepped drum is below each lever. The brass plate that covers the drums and top of the machine has slits in it to allow these and other parts to move. The edges of the slits next to digit levers are numbered from 0 to 9 to indicate the digit entered. A lever to the left of these is either pushed up for addition and multiplication or down for subtraction and division. Further to the left is a slate-covered compartment. An operating crank is right of the digit levers. It has an ivory handle, which bends down so that the lid closes.
- Behind the levers is a movable carriage that can be set in seven different positions. It has nine windows for the revolution register and 16 windows for the result register. The revolution register turns clockwise for subtraction and division, and counterclockwise for addition and multiplication. A knob for zeroing the revolution register is on the right of the carriage, and a lifting knob on the left. Rotating thumbscrews allow one to enter numbers in both the revolution and the result registers. Holes for decimal markers are between the windows of the register, but no decimal markers survive.
- A mark to the left of the levers reads: THOMAS de Colmar (/) A PARIS (/) INVENTEUR (/) No. 787. A nearby mark reads: ADDON ET MULTON (/) SOUSTON ET DIVISON. The frame of the slate is stamped on the bottom: ASTRONOMICAL OBSERVATORY (/) COLUMBIA (/) UNIVERSITY (/) NEW YORK.
- Frederick A. P. Barnard, the president of Columbia University, purchased this machine at the Paris Exposition of 1867. He used it in preparing a report on the exposition and later transferred it to the Astronomical Observatory at Columbia.

Object of this reply. A chap like myself, who struggles along with an amateur's box of logical tools, is bound to feel uneasy when his arguments are probed by the kind of logical precision-instruments which Professor Hempel manipulates so effortlessly. Yet after painstakingly working over his technical arguments, and after appealing for expert assistance on matters outside my competence,1 I have reached the surprising and agreeable conclusion that my argument stands intact and that Professor Hempel's criticisms reveal once more the hopelessness of the position he defends—or rather, of the position he now defends.

By Michael Ruiz
Operating and maintaining high performance buildings requires a sophisticated organization. With careful preparation and planning, these facilities can work wonders. Taking care of them requires a well-managed project delivery system, complex business processes and an expert operation and maintenance (O&M) team.
Architects, engineers and contractors have long embraced BIM, but ultimately the BIM models they create will belong to the building owners. As such, it is imperative that they have organizational processes and technology-enabled tools to facilitate the transfer of information from design and construction to operations. Together, these processes and tools will enable reporting and calculation of the "big data" they gather. We refer to this concept of project delivery as the Integrated Model State, or IMS.
The central component of the IMS is the BIM Data Specification. This document outlines the owner's BIM project information requirements for the design and construction teams and other service providers. These requirements identify the owner as the primary data consumer and the project delivery team as the primary data author. In this specification, all major tasks and deliverables associated with the creation and delivery of BIM data are described for the AEC community.
Articulating BIM requirements is only half of the battle
To fully realize the promise of BIM, owners must also learn how to organize model data as it arrives. This means extracting and validating model data, managing the process of making changes and, finally, leveraging that data toward business goals and objectives. An information exchange platform enables facility owners to extend their business processes and workflows to their mobile devices and to their business partners using industry standards. Utilizing an information exchange across project stakeholders enables easy collaboration across systems and companies.
Ultimately, success depends on having sound business processes, tools and protocols for collaboration. For now, let us consider the IMS as a framework in which specific applications assist owner BIM processes and workflows.

Deal Making CEOs: Like Hormonal Chimpanzees
"They're like young male chimpanzees trying to find a mate. They're being very aggressive and fighting older males."
Kai Li, an economist at the University of British Columbia, is describing, what else? Deal making CEOs.
Of course, deal making has always conjured images of animal spirits, empire-building and ego tripping.
Li, along with UBC colleagues Maurice Levi and Feng Zhang, have actually tried to prove it.
Their new study "Deal or No Deal: Hormones and the Mergers and Acquisitions Game" asserts that young male CEOs (those still in the testosterone-peaking ages under 45) are more likely to be impulsive, unpredictable, and ultimately value-destructive for shareholders.
The trio began by reviewing 5,000 different acquisitions from 1997 to 2007, and honing on 357 transactions which contained the needed data for the study, including CEO age.
A few key findings emerged from this stew of economics and biology, which will be published in the journal Management Science.
The trio found that young male CEOs are 4% more likely to be acquisitive than older CEOs. They're also 20% more likely to kill an offer once extending it, and 2% more likely to force a bidder to make a tender offer for a company shares.
The researchers conclude that "this combative nature is a result of testosterone levels that are higher in young males."
What does this mean in the real world? Basically, the researchers argue that shareholders should prefer an old CEO to a young one if a takeover proposal floats his way. It's young chimps that do silly things. Older ones will more likely take the money and run.
"Specifically, high-testosterone responders tend to reject low offers even though this is against their interest….The acts of attempting or resisting an acquisition can be viewed as striving to achieve dominance."
How can the researchers be sure that these outcomes are directly related to CEO age, and – this is the critical step – to those CEOs' testosterone levels? Perhaps these outcomes have more to do with experience than hormones, right?
"We cannot rule out other possibilities" in the absence of direct testosterone tests, the paper says.
In an interview, Li said that the research group controlled for a number of factors, including board composition and a host of market dynamics.
Li said that the study was originally designed to look at how women behaved in merger situations, but that there weren't enough examples to create a study.
More generally, the UBC researchers grew focused on the issue of non-rational economic behavior, an area of growing study after what seemed a triumph of economic "rationalism" in decades previous.
"In the corporate world we talk about the rational decision-making process, like value maximization," Li said. "But we uncovered that there are a very important human factors. CEOs are also human beings, they're still influence by their hormones."

I've seen the interesting issues as well. But in 90+% of the networks I
deal with, I don't find those issues. It's only when myself and the
admin I'm working with has 20 services in the DMZ that needs to be
provided publicly, but their ISP has only given them a /29 subnet to use
that my head starts to hurt.
My overall point was, if you have the $ for IP addresses or already have
them, it's discretionary...it's up to you to use NAT or not. If you
don't have the IP addresses to spare, then sometimes you have to get
creative. I guess I didn't see the issue as more/less work, or
routing/not routing if you knew what you were doing...it just becomes
preference of implementation at that point.

FILE-This Tuesday, Sept. 21, 2010, file photo, shows a model of a minimally invasive heart valve by Edwards Lifesciences Corp. in Washington. The Food and Drug Administration said Monday, June 11, 2012, that the heart valve compared favorably to surgery after one year, with patients living about the same amount of time. However, reviewers said patients who got the Sapien valve had a higher rate of stroke in the month after the procedure. Additionally, more than half of patients had leaking from the aortic heart valve, a potentially dangerous condition in which blood flows backward into the heart's ventricle chamber.

Arlington, TX • Clay Gould Ballpark (1,600)

ISLANDERS: RHP Ian Campbell (5-4, 3.87) | UTA: LHP Calan Pritchard (3-3, 4.89)
Sunday, May 8 • 1 p.m.
ISLANDERS: LHP Todd Simko (7-6, 5.27) | UTA: TBA
The Texas A&M - Corpus Christi baseball team heads north for a road series at UT Arlington this weekend. The Islanders have won four straight Southland games to infuse themselves back into the race for the conference tournament. UTA is just two games ahead of the Islanders in a tie for fourth in the conference.
The Islanders are coming off a series sweep of Central Arkansas last weekend. Even though the wind was hitter-friendly all weekend, the hurlers allowed UCA to hit just .245 and score 11 runs in the three-game set. The Islanders bats came alive, though, hitting .330 with 24 runs. The contributions were from across the board, as six different batters had at least three hits in the series.
The Mavericks enter this weekend after falling in a midweek affair at Louisiana Tech on Tuesday night. Tech scored two runs in the bottom of the eighth to come away with a 7-5 victory. Contrary to the Islanders, UTA has not swept a single weekend series, nor has it been swept this year. Last weekend, Stephen F. Austin took two of three from the Mavs in Nacogdoches.
The Mavericks have dominated the all-time series against the Islanders, holding a 13-6 lead on their counterparts from the South. Since Scott Malone took over, his former employer has won all nine meetings, including six in Arlington, though four of those were one-run affairs. The Islanders swept the Mavs in Corpus Christi in the 2007 campaign in addition to a 3-4 record against UTA in non-conference action.
Teddy Roosevelt wasn't speaking of senior Matt Holland when he uttered that, but there may be no phrase that applies better for the Watkins, Iowa, native. Holland, who is in the Southland's top 10 in average, doubles, triples and home runs on the year, is a very measured individual. And though he is an important leader for the Islanders, he does so by example.
He leads the team with his 18 multi-hit games and 15 contests with more than one RBI. With 15 two-baggers, he is just five shy of the season record.
Over the last 20 games, his power numbers have started to skyrocket, as he now has eight home runs on the year. Six of his eight longballs have come in the last 20, and he has a .681 slugging percentage in that stretch. His 20 RBI in that time are double that of any other player.
Two weeks ago, he really heated up, stroking a home run at Rice and then hitting a second homer - though it was inaccurately ruled a double - in the Thursday night game at Southeastern. He added another bomb in Sunday's finale.
But his performance against Texas Tech on March 12 was by far his most impressive of the season. The senior went 4-for- 6 and hit for the Islanders' first cycle of the season and the first since Jacob Perales turned the trick against UTPA last year. Needing a longball to complete the feat with two down in the ninth and the bases loaded, Holland ripped a 2-0 pitch over the wall in right for a grand slam to finish off the cycle.
Todd Simko came into the spring with lofty expectations after being named the opening day starter. And after starting red-hot out of the gate, the lefty fell into a bit of a funk, where seemingly every borderline play or call didn't go his way.
But he has rebounded in a huge way over the last two weeks. In the finale with Central Arkansas, he fanned seven Bears without issuing a walk, and went the distance in the run-rule shortened affair. He allowed just three hits in the game.
At Southeastern, the junior allowed just one hit over the first eight innings en route to a complete-game two-hitter in a 7-1 win over the Lions. The big lefty struck out just three opposing batters, but got the Lions to pound the ball down with 16 groundouts, including two double plays, in the game.
In his last two outings, he has forced 27 groundballs to just four flyouts over 16 innings. Even more impressive, he has allowed just five hits.
In his debut on Feb. 18, Simko was spectacular, punching out seven MVSU hitters against no walks in earning his first career victory. The junior surrendered just three singles and four baserunners over his five innings of work. He followed that up by saving the Islanders' win at Texas.
Simko, who has touched 94 on the radar gun this season, tossed eight strong innings to defeat Nicholls, punching out seven. He is second in the league with his seven wins and has tossed 66 2/3 innings on the year with a 5.27 ERA.
