Mapping the Stage: Micah Danges and James Johnson
September 17, 2016 – January 7, 2017
Informed in part by the formal and perceptual qualities of Fra Angelico's fifteenth-century painting, The Healing of Justinian by Saint Cosmas and Saint Damian, Micah Danges and James Johnson's window-front installation investigates new ways of making work with tangible, non-photographic materials and celebrates the power of inanimate objects. The project expands Danges' and Johnson's mutual interest in the pre-photographic representation of temporality in Renaissance painting, the relationship between images and objects – notably, the point at which the physical world ends and the image begins – and the unconventional use of photographic materials, processes and ideas.

Edison Miranda-Yordanis Despaigne in The Works, 7/29
By Rick Reeno
BoxingScene.com was advised that a light heavyweight bout is in the works for the ESPN televised card on July 29th at the Cosmopolitan Resort and Casino in Las Vegas. Former lightweight champion Juan Diaz was scheduled to headline the card, but he withdrew a few days ago to focus on his legal studies.
Discussions are ongoing, and looking good, for a light heavyweight clash between Edison Miranda (34-5, 29KOs) and Yordanis Despaigne (8-1, 4KOs). Miranda broke his one-year layoff by returning on the Atlantic City undercard to last Saturday's bout between Carl Froch and Glen Johnson. He won an eight round decision over Rayco Sanders. Despaigne was last seen in March, when he dropped a gusty ten round decision to rising star Ismayl Sillakh.
Former champion Joel Casamayor is scheduled for the show in crossroads bout with Jorge Teron.
Despaigne via UD or late TKO. Miranda was ether extremely lazy for his last fight or he's a shell of himself. Ether way I don't think he's as strong at 175.Comment by PlayerKiller on 06-09-2011
[QUOTE=Pantera2000;10671485]Last time Miranda was on ESPN we had the KO of the year and the ESPN FNF knockout of the decade... I'd love to see him do it again.

Temperatures today have finally been able to break the freezing mark area wide, but one more subfreezing night is in store as lows fall back into the 20s. We will make it back toward normal tomorrow with highs in the mid 50s as clouds increase ahead of our next system that will be taking shape in the southern Plains.
With plenty of moisture and warm air returning to the area on Friday, we could get enough lift from warm air to get a rain shower or two to develop in the afternoon hours, but most of the rain will hold off until Saturday morning when our cold front passes. The front should clear the area by midday with clearing taking place behind the front. Highs will stay in the 60s behind the front for a couple of days.
The big question in the forecast at this point is what happens Monday and Tuesday. We could see another system develop close to the coast and bring rain showers our direction and keep temperatures fairly mild, or we could see clear skies and gradual cooling as some dry cold fronts swing through and knock highs down a few degrees. For now, I am leaning more towards a system in the Gulf so I will include small rain chances to start the week with temperatures slowly dropping towards this time next week, but nothing like what we have just seen.

I did not receive any post bag to send the phone in to start off with. Which is a poor showing comparing this is just standard practice with other sites. I then sent the phone in with my own bag and via recorded delivery on 12/04/16. This got to them on 13/04/16 according to Royal Mail. However their website did not update any information with regards to this and so by 16/04/16 I decided to call them and get in touch.

Fonehub Ltd advertises higher prices just to get your business and then makes up random defects so that they won't pay the agreed amount. From my own personal experience I would not recommend them. However, if you do decide to use them, make sure that you take plenty of evidence before sending (i.e. photo, video, etc). Thankfully I did do this and even when I submitted evidence they came up with another excuse. In the end I had to resort to threatening legal action and only then did they pay… Read Full Review

When contacted they said it was because the sim was still inside. I replied that I had the sim with me, they said they would re check the phone. They came back to me and said the sim holder was damaged and the quote stood at £0 and if I wanted my phone back it would cost me £5. I cannot prove… Read Full Review

Quoted £175, after sending reduced to £130 due to 'broken sensor' which prevents the screen from switching off during a call. This is a common Samsung bug due to dust and is fixed with a wipe of the screen. Wish I had checked reviews before using this company. They hold your phone for ransom by suggesting you pay special delivery and then charging extortionate for the return if you don't like the reduced offer. Either way they will get paid and that's all that matters to them. Daylight… Read Full Review

I was very disappointed after seeing 99% customer satisfaction on their website to have such appalling service. After receiving my order they took a week to get back to me. They said that because the phone was from the USA they were now going to offer me nothing for the phone. After finally getting through to their customer service I clarified the phone was unlocked to be used in the UK. In the t+c's on theIr website the handset just needs to be able to accept a UK sim.

This phone was used by someone who kept the phone at home and didnt know how to use it properly so there are no marks at all on the phone and everything was working.

Sent off my phone in perfect condition and was quoted £50, reasonable price for an oldish phone. Waited to receive the bubble wrap envelope and wrapped the phone in tissue paper as directed by fone hub. Sent my phone off and after a few days received an email to say they had received it and were proceeding my order. Brilliant, money in the bank. Except. I then received another email saying my offer had changed from £50 to £35 due to "cracking and scuffing beyond normal wear and tear"… Read Full Review

Fonehub offered the best money on the comparison site, and the phone was in absolutely mint condition. Was offered £110, payment expected within 2 days of receipt, after around 10 days they decided it was worth only £70 due to being locked to a particular network. Fair enough however- I'm sure they will always find a fault of some sort and would be interested in how often they pay the amount they quote. My main issue however was the lack of contact/information. I have had to ring over and… Read Full Review

Sent a fully working phone to them. Non-Working price was £15. One guess as to what they offered me.... the non-working price. Came up with some ridiculous excuses to pay me the lowest price. The way they work is that when you compare prices online they seem good compared to the others, then they offer you a stupid price once you've sent them your phone. I then had to chase them a few times to get them to send my phone back. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME… Read Full Review

Drug Safety:
Not much of a scene
Drug Safety:
Lots of drinking, but the school keeps the focus on safety and not on discipline. This seems to work really well in my experience. People have some rough nights but in general stay very safe and are never in any danger.
Drug Safety:
The drug scene at Bowdoin is almost non-existent. Alcohol is about the only substance on campus
Drug Safety:
Some people do drugs, but it is very under the radar and can be easily avoided.
Drug Safety:
Honestly, compared to other colleges, hard drugs are nonexistent here. I always feel safe around my peers because they're smart and they know how to respond if anything ever happened.
{{review.SectionLabel}} at {{review.EntityName}}:
Sorry, there are no reviews.
Although some hardcore drugs may be used on campus, it's definitely kept private and hidden from mainstream campus life. Smoking cigarettes is not very common, but many students seem to almost brag about their drinking ability. However, partying at Bowdoin is relatively calm because it is primarily limited to the weekends—the rigorous academic schedule does not really allow otherwise.
Most students feel little pressure to join in drinking or use drugs. Bowdoin students respect the wishes of others and will not put them in situations in which they are not comfortable. If you are looking for a night of heavy alcohol consumption, it will be available, at least on Fridays and Saturdays. But if you aren't interested in drinking, there are usually other events going such as performances in Pickard Theater, movies at Frontier Café, or various lectures from visiting professors. Students at Bowdoin would never think of making anyone get involved in something that is not their thing—they will just hope you are having a good time doing whatever you plan on doing.

Corporate Advocacy Program™
I have personally spoken to 10 other former students of Sean's, many of them PhD's, former traders and all well-educated individuals, who all got sucked in by Sean's charisma and promises and are now thoroughly disappointed in their sheer lack of results from his trading seminars. Why did so many apparently intelligent people get sucked in by this former Doctor and self-proclaimed trading genius?
Well let me explain my story:
1. First I met Sean at an another event - he actually came over to me and dropped a few hints on what he did - "I am a trader making much more money than real-estate. I use techniques known by very few" of course my warning bells went off, but he didnt seem sleazy, he was accompanied by a retired doctor and seemed very confident in himself. He also said he was a trained doctor and gave it all up for trading. He said he wanted to retire doctors from a low paid profession.
2. He then called me regularly dropping stories about how much money he made in a single trade and other 'students' he is helping out.
3. After several weeks and several phone calls, he said he would like to teach me and groom me to be a trader of his, but to attend his first ever seminar, it would cost $30K. He made several promises in his conversation with me:
- He said I leave no adult behind - I stay with you until you trade successfully
- You pay once and all other courses are FREE
- I want to bring you into my inner circle to trade and make lots of money
- I'll add a few zeroes behind your trading to boost your returns
- I'll teach you everything as if you were a 7 year old child. If I can teach a 60+ year old person to trade, I can teach you
5. He also set up a conference call with me and others to sell his credentials. He had with him his mentor, a former professor at his medical school, as well as 2-3 other former students who were very positive about Sean (they have subsequently all renounced him, and I mean ALL of them I spoke to)
6. I eventually decided that I trusted him, paid up and went to the seminar. There were 20-30 other students there, many of them Doctors and other professionals.
7. As the hours wore on I started to get that sinking feeling in my stomach. The seminar was amateur. His teaching style was highly unstructured. He didnt know how to teach. He spent a lot of the time talking about how wonderful he was. He got impatient and condescending when people asked him questions. The course materials were terrible, poorly written and sparse.
8. I left the seminar and found that the reality of trading was complex - setting up a system, executing trades, the terminology, etc., a total minefield that he absolutely did not cover in the course. It's like teaching somebody the concept of a car - speed, aerodynamics, etc., without instructions on actually how to drive, use the gears, pedals, mirrors, etc.
9. And then there was the 'radio silence' from Sean. Nothing.
10. Until it was time for his next seminar 6 months later. I had lost money and had followed his techniques but lost money because he didnt teach the science + the art of trading. But a classic case of pouring good money after bad. I listened to Seans apologies and that he was spending time setting everything up and that tons of students were making so much money and that I really was an exception and that I needed the refresher to catch up. In my stupidity I agreed to attend his next seminar which Sean said he would only charge me $5K for!
10. The next seminar was again woefully unstructured, with very poor materials and again left us with no system. He would pull up charts and make out how it was obvious that a particular stock price was going down based on his analysis, but its easy to say that when looking at historical charts. The fact that there are countless permutations and factors to consider when you trade the charting analysis, but also the overall environment, government announcements, annual reports, and so many other things which he simply did not cover. As mentioned, he had NO SYSTEM that he left us with. Just some guidelines.
11. During the course, he also invited other speakers who were selling their own seminars, which wasted half a day from what was already precious time away from family and other activities to attend this weekend seminar.
And I could go on, but you get the picture. I am so so disappointed in Sean. He took so much money and made out trading was child's play. He absolutely left me out in the cold, he did not deliver what he promised, he made me sign a 'contract' in a rushed manner saying it was "normal practice" and all it does is protect him with language like "Lux Trading does not promise any results from attending the course" etc. And I tried all of his strategies, but because the education he provided was so sparse and not comprehensive, I lost money. Other students have lost more - their savings, their trust and by being let down.
There are cheaper, better courses out there, not to mention free websites that provide the fundamental education BETTER than Sean does. He spends time on candlestick charting, which now you can find very good education on this in many places for FREE.
The conclusion to all of this was a request from me for some repayment of fees with very clear, factual reasoning as to why. After a lot of back and forth, Sean eventually hired a solicitor who wrote me a letter saying I should not contact Lux again and would not get a response.
I asked Sean to do the right thing and pay back the students who support him initially, yet who he left down so badly. He took the money and delivered a fraction of value in return. I would hate to see anybody else get sucked in by this. He needs to learn that it is just not acceptable and in fact quite dangerous, to teach trading like he does. He's doing it to grow his own bank balance and has let so many people down who trusted him.

by Jonathan Cook in Canada Park
As spring sets in early, Israelis have been pouring into one of the country's most popular leisure spots. Visitors to Canada Park, a few kilometres north-west of Jerusalem, enjoy its spectacular panaromas, woodland paths, mountain-bike trails, caves and idyllic picnic areas.
A series of signs describe the historical significance of the landscape, as well as that of a handful of ancient buildings, in terms of their Biblical, Roman, Hellenic and Ottoman pasts. Few, if any, visitors take notice of the stone blocks that litter sections of the park.
But Eitan Bronstein, director of Zochrot (Remembering), is committed to educating Israelis and foreign visitors about the park's hidden past – its Palestinian history.
"In fact, though you would never realise it, none of this park is even in Israel," he told a group of 40 Italians on a guided tour this past weekend. "This is part of the West Bank captured by Israel during the 1967 war. But the presence of Palestinians here – and their expulsion – is entirely missing from the signs."
Zochrot also seeks to remind Israelis of the Nakba, the uprooting of hundreds of thousands of Palestinians during Israel's creation in 1948.
Its tours are not popular with most Israelis, suggesting, he says, how far they still are from understanding the territorial compromises needed to reach the kind of peace agreement with the Palestinians currently being promoted by the new US administration.
An impressive building a short way into the park, signposted as a Roman bathhouse, is all that is recognisably left of a Palestinian village once known as Imwas, itself built on the ruins of the biblical village of Emmaus.
There are traces of a cemetery, as well as scattered rubble from the village's houses, a coffee shop, a church, two mosques and a school.
The 2,000 Palestinians living there, along with the 3,500 inhabitants of two other villages, Yalu and Beit Nuba, were expelled as the Israeli army captured this area of the West Bank from Jordan. Today, they and their descendants live as refugees, mostly in East Jerusalem and near Ramallah.
Known and very popular cialis coupon which gives all the chance to receive a discount for a preparation which has to be available and exactly cialis coupons has been found in the distant room of this big house about which wood-grouses in the houses tell.
In place of the three villages, a park was created by an international Zionist organisation, the Jewish National Fund, paid for with $15 million in charitable donations from Canadian Jews.
The park entrance is only a minute's drive from the busiest motorway in the country, linking Jerusalem and Tel Aviv.
Similar parks across Israel have been established on the ruins of other Palestinian villages but, in those cases, the destruction was a result of the war of 1948 that founded Israel. Ilan Pappe, an Israeli historian, has referred to this massive erasure of Palestinian history as state-organised "memoricide".
But Canada Park is far more sensitive for Israel because it lies outside the country's internationally recognised borders. The Palestinian inhabitants' expulsion, Mr Bronstein said, was a premeditated act of ethnic cleansing of villagers who put up no resistance.
"We have photographs of the Israeli army carrying out the expulsions," he told the group of tourists, holding up a series of laminated cards.
Yosef Hochman, a professional photographer, captured scenes that included columns of fleeing Palestinians carrying possessions on their heads, army officers arguing with an elderly woman who refuses to leave her house and bulldozers moving in to destroy the villages.
According to Mr Bronstein, the wrecking spree can be explained by the Israeli army's failure in the 1948 war to capture the area, which juts out into what is today Israel and was once known as the Latrun salient.
"In 1948, Israeli commanders regarded conquest of the salient as vital for widening the safe passage from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem. They were desperate to make amends in 1967 when they got a second chance."
Uzi Narkiss, a leading general in the 1967 war, vowed that the Latrun salient would never be returned. Establishing Canada Park was Israel's way of secretly annexing the territory, Zochrot says.
Since 2003, Mr Bronstein has been demanding that the Jewish National Fund post additional signs highlighting the park's Palestinian history.
The Roman bathhouse, he notes, is visible only because the foundations were subsequently excavated. For centuries, the structure – a shrine to Obeida Ibn al Jarah, an Arab warrior who helped conquer Palestine in the seventh century – served as an important Palestinian holy place.
The Jewish National Fund and the Civil Administration, the military government in the West Bank, agreed to post two new signs, marking the centres of Imwas and Yalu, only after Zochrot petitioned the courts. The experiment in openness was shortlived, however. After a few days, black paint was used to conceal part of the sign at Imwas, and soon afterwards both signs disappeared.
"We were told that scrap-metal dealers were probably responsible for stealing the signs," Mr Bronstein said. "That's a little hard to believe, since the official signs close by are there to this day."
Zochrot is considering widening its campaign by alerting Canadian donors to the fact that their money has been used – in contravention of international law – effectively to annex a section of the West Bank to Israel. Mr Bronstein believes many are unaware of the use their donations have been put to.
He is preparing to take the Jewish National Fund back to court to demand it replaces the missing signs and erects similar signs in parks inside Israel to commemorate the Palestinian villages razed by the army after the 1948 war.
According to Zochrot, 86 Palestinian villages lie buried underneath JNF parks. A further 400 destroyed villages had their lands passed on to exclusively Jewish communities. Zochrot's several hundred activists regularly select a destroyed village, taking Palestinian refugees with them as they place a handmade sign detailing the village's name in Arabic and Hebrew. Within days, the signs are removed.
But Mr Bronstein said he believes signs erected by official bodies may have a greater impact in opening Israeli minds.
"In a recent newspaper interview, a senior JNF official admitted that it would be hard to stop our campaign," he said. "Slowly we believe Israelis can be made to appreciate that their state exists at the expense of another people. Only then are Israelis likely to be ready to think about making peace."

Tender is the Night
by F. Scott Fitzgerald
Violet McKisco
Character Analysis
Violet remains somewhat irritating throughout the novel, but has the important distinction of being the first person (outside of Dick, Tommy, and her family) to see Nicole's mental illness. When she does see it, she wants to tell everybody about it. When Tommy stops her it provokes the duel between Tommy and Albert. The duel seems insignificant at first, but we later learn that Albert thinks the duel (which he didn't back down from for fear of losing face with his wife) helped transform him and make him the success that he is.
Like her husband, Violet is a meta-fictional character. She knows full well she's inside of a book. When she first meets Rosemary, she tells her "We thought maybe you were in the plot. […] We don't know who's in the plot and who isn't." Rosemary is confused. She doesn't know she's in a book. She thinks that she at the beach, silly girl.
But Violet is actually a little confused and so is her friend Mrs. Dumphrey. They think they are readers. They think they are being excluded from the book. Mrs. Dumphrey tells Rosemary, "We're not in it. We're the gallery." Then just to sink it in, after McKisco has told her to shut up about it, Violet asks Rosemary, "Going to stay all summer? If you do you can watch the plot unfold." Albert's subsequent outburst is hilarious, once we get the joke: "For God's sake, Violet, drop the subject! Get a new joke!" he says. Though funny, this is also Fitzgerald through Albert McKisco self consciously expressing doubt about his own literary techniques.
We'll leave you with a question: when Violet tries to talk about what she saw in the Divers' bathroom, is she trying to force her way into the plot? Does Tommy keep her out when he won't let her tell what she's seen?

Department of State:
Persistent Staffing and Foreign Language Gaps Compromise Diplomatic Readiness
GAO-09-1046T: Published: Sep 24, 2009. Publicly Released: Sep 24, 2009.
Additional Materials:
- Full Report:
- Accessible Text:
(202) 512-4268
Office of Public Affairs
(202) 512-4800
This testimony discusses U.S. diplomatic readiness, and in particular the staffing and foreign language challenges facing the Foreign Service. The Department of State (State) faces an ongoing challenge of ensuring it has the right people, with the right skills, in the right places overseas to carry out the department's priorities. In particular, State has long had difficulty staffing its hardship posts overseas, which are places like Beruit and Lagos, where conditions are difficult and sometimes dangerous due to harsh environmental and extreme living conditions that often entail pervasive crime or war, but are nonetheless integral to foreign policy priorities and need a full complement of qualified staff. State has also faced persistent shortages of staff with critical language skills, despite the importance of foreign language proficiency in advancing U.S. foreign policy and economic interests overseas. In recent years GAO has issued a number of reports on human capital issues that have hampered State's ability to carry out the President's foreign policy objectives. This testimony discusses (1) State's progress in addressing staffing gaps at hardship posts, and (2) State's efforts to meet its foreign language requirements.
Despite a number of steps taken over a number of years, the State Department continues to face persistent staffing and experience gaps at hardship posts, as well as notable shortfalls in foreign language capabilities. A common element of these problems has been a longstanding staffing and experience deficit, which has both contributed to the gaps at hardship posts and fueled the language shortfall by limiting the number of staff available for language training. State has undertaken several initiatives to address these shortages, including multiple staffing increases intended to fill the gaps. However, the department has not undertaken these initiatives in a comprehensive and strategic manner. As a result, it is unclear when the staffing and skill gaps that put diplomatic readiness at risk will close.

Sponsored by Activate America, America on the Move is a national YMCA effort designed to motivate and inspire community members to take small steps to promote active living and healthy eating.
"Just to get people moving is so important," said Kenny Stone, YMCA of Southeast Missouri health and fitness director. "Anything is better than nothing."
Throughout America on the Move, YMCAs will track the number of participants and steps taken with a goal of reaching 1 billion steps nationally. But for the YMCA in Sikeston, the goal is 3 million steps beginning Saturday through Sept. 30.
"Walking a mile sounds like a lot of work, but it's just 2,000 steps," Stone said.
The general public may be surprised to learn how many steps are taken in a given activity. For every minute people run 8 miles an hour, they take 350 steps per minute, Stone said. In a basketball game, the average person takes 212 steps per minute, the equivalent for bicycling is 236 steps per minute and vacuuming is 94 steps per minute, he said.
"You can get activity in about every movement. We don't normally think of vacuuming as exercise, but it is. And gardening is another great movement; it gets 118 steps per minute," Stone said.
To help get people moving, each day next week, the YMCA is conducting different activities and exercises for its members and non-members. Monday will kick off the week with bring a friend day.
"Anybody can bring in a friend and we'll be giving out guest passes," Stone said.
Tuesday is family fitness day.
"A lot of times people come by themselves and this day will allow them to bring their family members," Stone said.
The YMCA has something for everyone when it comes to physical fitness, Stone said.
"Things that people can use are the treadmills. Or if they don't like the treadmill, we have elliptical and stationery bikes. We have a basketball gym people like to use as a walking track and we also have aerobics classes," Stone said.
There's a multipurpose room and weight machines, too, he said. Wednesday is school walk day.
"Wednesday is a big event. All the public schools in Sikeston have agreed to have all the kids walk for at least 30 minutes," Stone said.
Thursday is an aerobics day, which will be a day to market the Y's aerobics classes.
"Friday we're doing boot camp. At least one armed forces recruiter will be here to lead us in a mock boot camp training," Stone said.
Saturday is Corporate Fitness Day with some of the larger businesses in the area participating.
"We've done health and fitness promotions like this before, but we haven't participated in America on the Move," Stone said.
It's very important for Americans to become more active, Stone said. "We (Americans) just don't do enough," he said. "That's why we have such high obesity rates and people are overweight. ... We're hoping this will encourage people to improve their physical fitness."

There's a way to insert the taxonomy inside the content at the end or at the end of the excerpts. I'd like to add them somewhere in the middle;) What would be the best way to do that? I have a custom template and I'd like to add the taxonomy basically like for the_tags. I'm not sure what function to use and how to use it. Any help?
Thank you.

Porter: Floyd Mayweather Will Expose Amir Khan's Flaws
Text by Edward Chaykosvky, Interview by Chris Robinson
IBF welterweight champion Shawn Porter has no problem with Amir Khan potentially challenging Floyd Mayweather Jr. (45-0, 26KOs) for the WBC welterweight crown. Khan (28-3, 19KOs) is reportedly the frontrunner to face Mayweather on May 3rd at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas.
At the same time, Porter felt Khan's last fight, a tough war with Julio Diaz, was a draw - and he expects Mayweather to expose some of Khan's defects in the fight.
"I think Amir is a good fighter, I think he has what it takes. But I think we thought that about the last two or three guys who fought Mayweather," Porter said. "[Khan] is a great fighter, a great athlete, but at the same time we've seen a lot of flaws in his boxing skills that we know Floyd will expose."
So perhaps the most flawed guy to ever hold a title has the need to point out some other cat is going to get his flaws exposed? Neat.Comment by typeone on 01-02-2014

National Brain Injury Awareness Month
"In my view, we will be well-positioned to begin drawing down some U.S. and coalition forces this July, even if we redeploy others to different areas of the country.We are not leaving Afghanistan this summer. Come September, October and beyond, there will still be substantial numbers of coalition forces here, still partnering with Afghans and still maintaining unrelenting pressure on our enemy."
- Defense Secretary Robert M. Gates, stressing the US support to Afghanistan during his defense talks with the Afghanistan President Hamid Karzai in Kabul, Afghanistan, March 7, 2011.
Gates, Karzai discuss civilian casualties, drawdown
"The entire Army Network Modernization Strategy is predicated upon building a robust Brigade Combat Team baseline configuration. The INBE is the first of four major stepping stones on the road to executing a fully integrated BCT Network Evaluation at the end of 2012."
- Lt. Col. Darby McNulty, Integration Trail Boss, PEO Integration, speaks about the Army preparing to conduct several Limited User Tests through Integrated Network Baseline Evaluation (INBE), an exercise designed to assess the ability for a host of technologies to work in tandem as part of a larger, integrated, cohesive network

National Brain Injury Awareness Month
What it is?
March is National Brain Injury Awareness Month. Traumatic Brain Injuries (TBIs) are disruptions of the brain that occur due to a blow or jolt to the head or penetrating head injuries. The severity of TBIs can range from mild to severe. The Army wants leaders, Soldiers and family members to understand the signs and symptoms of mild traumatic brain injuries (TBIs), also called concussions, and the importance of seeking prompt medical care-which is an act of strength and courage.
Most concussions occur without a loss of consciousness and are treatable. The majority of people who experience a concussion recover completely with no lasting effects. Some common signs and symptoms of a concussion may include amnesia, confusion, dizziness, fatigue, headache, slurred speech, nausea, vomiting or ringing in the ears. Some people have memory or concentration problems, sensitivity to light and noise, sleep disturbances, irritability and depression.
What the Army has done?
The Army adopted an "Educate, Train, Treat and Track" strategy in late 2009 and implemented a theater mild TBI/concussion protocol in June 2010. Any deployed Soldier who sustains a direct blow to the head, experiences a loss of consciousness, is within 50 meters of a blast (inside or outside), is in a vehicle associated with a blast event, collision or rollover, or is command-directed (especially in cases involving exposure to multiple blasts events) must undergo a medical evaluation. The protocol also requires a minimum 24-hour downtime period, followed by medical clearance before a Soldier may return to duty. A comprehensive medical evaluation is also mandatory for any Soldier who sustains three concussions within 12 months.
What does the Army have planned for the future?
The Army is aggressively researching the latest methods to protect Soldiers from injuries using improved equipment to detect brain injuries, and neuroimaging techniques and assessments to treat concussions/mild TBI.
Why is the prevention of concussions important for Army?
Soldiers are the Army's most important resource. Explosions and blows to the head can disrupt brain function and cause Soldiers to experience the effects of concussion. Whether on the battlefield or at home (vehicle accident, sporting event, a fall, etc.), the keys to successful recovery after a concussion are early detection, intervention to include education and treatment to include rest. Rest is very important because it helps the brain to heal. Ignoring signs and symptoms after a concussion and trying to "tough it out" can make symptoms worse. The guidance for Soldiers and leaders is to be patient because it takes time for the brain to heal.

We just have an amazing vacation in Rome, having booked a flat with porfirio was defenitly the best choice. A clean, modern and unbelievable well ubicated flat; just a couple of steps from Novona square, the pantheon and everything you need to see; an small but great place to stay for a few days. And with an even more careful host who makes you feel as you were staying at some relative's house.
One of our best expiriences in Rome.
this property has position position position! It is very comfortable and spotlessly clean. The biggest bonus is the host Marco, he was there to welcome us on arrival gave us an over view of the area and was on call if we needed anything during our stay. We has a fantastic time and would definitely come back to Rome and this studio. thank you Marco for your warm welcome and waving us goodbye very sad to leave but we will be back!
What a gem. The apartment is small, but its location is sensational and our host was superb. From meeting us, to leaving gifts, he is the best ever advertisement for Roma. We cannot praise him enough
We booked by Wimdu easy by their website. Once ordered we got in contact with our host and he explained how to easy and cheap how to reach the location. At the doorstep we were met by a very nice host who showed us everything we needed to to now about the flat, area and the map over Rome. Even fresh fruit. He was also very helpful by mail when we had to make our way outside Rome. The location of the flat itself is xtremely well. Everything is just within a walking distance, and we got to know many hidden streets/piazza by walking to our destinations. This was a experience over our expectations. We highly recomend using Mr. P and his flat if you want to feel Rome.
Thank for all help and some wonderful days.

Fantastic apartment. Ideally situated in the centre & everything we wanted to see was within walking distance. All amenities available & made use of them by making a few fresh spaghetti meals! Porfy was the perfect landlord & surprised us by leaving gorgeous tiramisu! He also gave us lots of information & ideas for eating out, travel to airport etc. would definitely stay there again & would recommend it. Great value for money.
The apatment is centrally located little gem. We had a very comfortable stay, our host was fantastic. Highly recommended.
Geweldig appartement, zeer ingenieus ingedeeld. Super locatie en super gastheer: zeer attent, vriendelijk, gastvrij en communicatief. Gaf zeer veel nuttige informatie, tips etc. Was ook uitstekend bereikbaar. Top of tops!!!
Bra läge nära Pantheon med gångavstånd till det mesta.
Smidigt med taxi direkt från flygplatsen (30euro) och hyresvärd som väntar utanför dörren.
Dock var lägenheten mindre än väntat.
Luktade rök.
Svårt att få varmvatten när man duschade.
Wir haben die Reise nach Rom sehr genossen. Der Gastgeber Porfirio war von ausgesuchter Freundlichkeit und Hilfbereitschaft - dafür unseren herzlichen Dank! Mit guten Tips für Aktivitäten und Lokalitäten. Porfirion spricht sehr gut Englisch und deshalb war die Verständigung sehr gut.
Der Standort ist nahezu unübertroffen zentral, mit nur wenigen Laufminuten hat man 2/3 aller Sehenswürdigkeiten zu Fuß erreichbar. Die Unterbringung ist praktisch (vor allem in Sommermonaten) aber ohne Tageslicht, das heißt für einen längeren Aufenthalt in der Unterkunft gewöhnungsbedürftig. Das Ausklappsofa mit 1,4m für zwei 60-jährige nicht optimal, es besteht zwar noch ein 2. Klappbett, das haben wir aber erst zu spät bemerkt. Die Klappcouch war also der einzige wirkliche Haken - vielleicht könnte eine andere Konsturktionmit besseren Matratzen helfen. Das Studion ist für zwei mobile Personen gut geeignet, für mehr nicht. Die Sauberkeit ausreichend.
Wir danken Porfirio und können das Studio unter Berücksichtigung unserer Bewertung weiterempfehlen.

I am new to wordpress and have a blog that I want to add images to on different posts using the "simple Image Link" plugin but want the pictures to link to a url when clicked on. For instance, I want a car picture to link to chevy.com. Is there a way to attach the chevy.com URL to that picture in the library so that whenever I add it to a post it will link to the chevy.com website? Right now I am having to add the links to the urls for many different images everytime I add them and it is getting a bit tedious.
Is there any way to do this? FYI, the images are being placed in the posts using the "simple image link" plugin and I would like to just add them using a simple image widget, again so I don't have to link each image individually every time I use them. I hope I have explained it clearly.

Regardless of whether you agree with Chicago producer Young Chop that the "I Don't Like (Remix)" disrespected the original song, you have to marvel at the ballsiness of a relative newcomer furiously threatening to "sue the shit out of" Kanye West.

Hi Guys,
Im a photographer and im trying to setup a gallery on my site to allow people to purchase photos online from it (ie weddings etc). I want them to be able to click the photo, then choose the size and how many copies they would like of it. The prices for all the photos will be the same and available in 2 sizes.
How would I do this sort of thing?
Also, is there a way for them to order using WP E Commerce but an option to pay on delivery? (ie. if its a local delivery i can do it myself)
