Social discrimination can have pervasive effects on human health and performance. This notion is a major thread binding together findings in social psychology, health psychology, and epidemiology. From a psychiatric perspective, it may also be critical for a more complete etiological picture of psychopathology. Social influences can be subtle but powerful. For example, priming racial identity can influence physiological measures of threat and performance on benchmark tests like the Scholastic Aptitude Test.1,2 As emphasized in the article by Akdeniz et al,3 ethnic minority immigrants are at greater risk than their native counterparts for schizophrenia,4 and this risk may extend to other mental and physical health disorders.5 To fully understand, prevent, and treat schizophrenia and other brain disorders, we need to understand the relationships between social context, stress, and brain health that cut across diverse psychiatric and neurological conditions.
A, The pregenual anterior cingulate cortex (pgACC) is part of a functional ventromedial prefrontal cortex (vmPFC) zone that encompasses multiple cytoarchitectonic areas (colored and marked with Brodmann area numbers). The vmPFC is a core part of the default-mode network, whose activity is high at rest and is reduced during the performance of many cognitive tasks but increases above baseline in response to evaluative threat, self-referential processing, and other emotional challenges. dACC indicates dorsal anterior cingulate cortex. B, Relative activity increases with evaluative stress in migrants in the study by Akdeniz et al.3 C, Activity mediating the effects of evaluative stress on cardiovascular responses is shown.7

Walker and Watkins have compiled and edited a highly useful and comprehensive text on pediatric nutrition. The purpose, as stated in the preface, is to offer a comprehensive review of general concepts of nutrition as they pertain to pediatrics, as well as relevant information on the nutritional management of specific disease states. This lengthy volume includes 48 chapters, each written by authorities on the particular subject, and covers many aspects of pediatric nutrition, from the very basic to the clinically applied. Considering the variety of topics and authors, there is an admirable evenness in style, detail, and integration of the text. Although chapters range from a very basic scientific focus (eg, the chapter on "Digestion and Absorption of Carbohydrates, Protein, and Fat in Infants and Children" by Otakar Koldovsky) to the very clinical (for example, the chapter on "Failure to Thrive" by C. Lawrence Kien), there is in all chapters

She helped to trim the tree with a "Popeye the Sailor Man" ornament in memory of Milton, who owned a Popeyes® Louisiana Kitchen franchise in Hammond for 34 years. The ornament was handmade by Shirley's aunt, Illys Utz.

Having a pan sauce to go with your main dish takes the meal to a whole new level. You're almost tempted to get dressed for Sunday supper.
Of course, a sauce like today's made with heavy cream is rich and delicious, but it also comes with fat and calories. Trim those down by scaling back the amount of cream. A few tablespoons can add a lot of flavor and texture.
I tried this recipe when I had leftover heavy cream from testing another recipe. I wasn't about to let it go to waste. But the sauce gets its flavor from more than cream. It has tarragon, wine -- you can substitute chicken broth -- and pan juices from the cooked pork. With so many flavors vying for attention, a little goes a long way.
Cooking the meat and then making the sauce in the same pan also boost the flavor. Credit all those concentrated pan juices and little bits of meat stuck to the bottom of the pan.
Use tarragon leaves sparingly because of their strong flavor.
This recipe is adapted from the recently published "Real Simple Dinner Tonight: Done!" by Real Simple magazine (Time Home Entertainment, $24.95). The book has 189 recipes, each with a full-color photo and held to one page. Nearly all of the recipes call for common pantry items and require minimal steps.
Serves 4.
>Pork Chops with Mustard-Tarragon Sauce
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 boneless pork chops (about 1-inch thick)
Kosher salt and black pepper
2 small shallots, finely chopped
3/4 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons heavy whipping cream
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon
Frisee Salad
Juice of 1 lemon
1 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon or honey Dijon mustard
Pinch of sugar
Pinch of salt and pepper
4 cups mix of frisee and Bibb lettuce, torn into pieces
Preheat oven to 400 degrees. In a large ovenproof skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat.
Season the pork chops with kosher salt and black pepper. Add them to the skillet and brown, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until cooked through, 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove the pork from the oven and transfer to a plate. Cover with foil to keep warm.
Set the skillet over medium heat. Add the shallots and cook until soft, about 3 minutes. Add the wine and bring to a boil, scraping up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat and simmer until wine is reduced by half. Stir in the cream, and simmer until the sauce just thickens. Stir in the mustard and tarragon.
In a glass measuring cup, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon, sugar, salt and pepper. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Pour over greens and toss to coat.
Place the chops on a plate and spoon sauce over. Serve with Frisee Salad.

WHITEHALL, MI – For having 26 miles of gorgeous Lake Michigan sand beaches and a solid tourism industry, Muskegon County has only one accommodation business on the Big Lake.
Muskegon County's only Lake Michigan resort or hotel was indefinitely closed Sunday with the 4:30 a.m. fire that destroyed the main building at the Michillinda Beach Lodge, a 108-year-old structure that was the heart and soul of the 22-acre destination resort sitting on a bluff overlooking Lake Michigan in Fruitland Township.
"This fire affects so many people in so many different ways," said White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce President Amy VanLoon Monday morning as she and the White Lake community were still reeling from the loss of an historic, iconic business.
The first thoughts were for the owners, business investors George Wixom, Wally Olsson and Al Pender. They created the Ada-based Promised Land LLC in 1999 and purchased the 53-room Michillinda Beach Lodge at 5207 Scenic Dr. from owners Don and Sue Eilers for $1.65 million.
Wixom has been a manufacturer's representative in the plastics industry, Olsson a Grand Rapids stock broker and Pender a retired college professor from Illinois. The investment group hired managers to staff and operate the resort that has 450 feet of Lake Michigan waterfront.
The business partners' initial thoughts later Sunday were to rebuild the massive old lodge, according to a spokesman for the investors. The lodge building that burned in a massive early-morning fire Sunday began as the Stevens family summer estate in 1904 as part of the Michillinda Beach Association.
No one was killed or injured in the fire of the main lodge building that had approximately 18 guest rooms, a public restaurant and provided lodge guests their meals at the American-plan resort. Cottages remain on the property for the business that had 53 guest units.
But beyond the owners, the loss of the Michillinda Lodge – even if it is just for a summer season or two while reconstruction takes place – is devastating for the community in White Lake and all of Muskegon County.
"Michillinda was a place that we referred people to who were looking to stay on the Big Lake," said Bob Lukens, Muskegon County's community development director who manages the Muskegon County Convention & Visitors Bureau. "Michillinda was a real institution for White Lake and Muskegon County. It was a real tragedy. Everyone Sunday was just shocked."
The two women were in Marshall for a West Michigan Tourism Association conference and Michillinda was all that anyone wanted to talk about, they said.
"It is so terribly sad and devastating to the community," said Jourden-Mark, who lives just south of the lodge in Fruitland Township. "It is the only Lake Michigan property that we have. They will have to rebuild at some point."
The future of Michillinda is up in the air as the reality of Sunday's fire begins to take hold.
Fruitland Township Supervisor Sam St. Amour said he has yet to talk to Promised Land's Wixom but would do so in the coming days. The supervisor praised the White Lake Fire Authority for coordinating the countywide fire response to the Michillinda blaze.
"It will be up to the owners to decide what works best for their business model in the future," St. Amour said of the Lake Michigan property.
Michillinda Lodge is a "legal non-conforming" business among property zoned residential, St. Amour said. Under current zoning, the supervisor said he believes the owners could rebuild what was lost in the fire.
"We need to see if what they have in mind fits our zoning ordinance," St. Amour said. "We hope they will put a new business together that works for the neighbors, works for the township and works for their needs as well. We'll have to see."
What remains is a beautiful piece of lakefront property with a bluff overlooking an expansive beach and a business that people in Muskegon and from throughout the Midwest admire for its location, history and tradition.
Community leaders and those in the tourism industry have one hope for the investment group: That it rebuilds in some form or fashion. Todd Groessl -- who along with wife Jodi owns the nearby Lakeside Inn, another American-plan resort in Fruitland Township -- said he assumes the owners are already working on rebuilding plans to see what could be accomplished even by next summer.
"The location has such potential," VanLoon said. "Our hope is that the owners take time to grieve, get their bearings and regroup.
"The Michillinda fire gives the owners and the community a great opportunity," VanLoon continued. "We hope they will be visionary and maybe there are great things to come, bigger and better than ever."

HUGHESVILLE - Austin Polcyn doesn't let something such as Tourette syndrome stop him from doing something he loves - and doing it well.
The nervous tics and involuntary movements which characterize the neurological disorder disappear when he plays the drums.
"It's something I love," he said. "I do it every day."
Article Photos
Austin Polcyn has Tourette syndrome, but that doesn't stop him from playing the drums. Next month he will audition on the drums for the "America's got Talent" television program.
Polcyn's passion has taken him to the big time.
Next month, he'll travel with his parents, Ron and Shannon, to New York City to audition for the television show, "America's Got Talent."
It goes without saying that Austin may get the chance to show the world his musical abilities.
It's also a chance to prove that medical conditions don't have to mean obstacles in life.
"Music is unbelievable for him," Ron said.
Indeed, music has been what has allowed Austin to shine.
Life isn't always easy for people with TS.
Austin was first diagnosed around the age of 6 and displays many of the characteristics of the condition.
"He hops. Sometimes he'll grunt. He'll have facial grimaces," said his father.
He sometimes struggles with speech as well, stammering to get out the words.
Many people with TS face neurobehaviorial problems as well, including attention deficit disorder, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke.
"There's been a lot of challenges," Ron said. "It's just keeping him focused because he will drift off."
Austin acknowledged he also deals with intrusive and worrisome thoughts that can be characteristic of TS.
"I obsess over my drums," he said.
Making a mistake can consume his thoughts as well.
Austin is known as an auditory learner.
Reading doesn't come easy unless he reads the words out loud to himself.
"When I read out loud, I can comprehend it better," he explained.
A ninth-grade student in the East Lycoming School District, he receives special learning support for his classroom work.
Over the years, his parents tried different outlets to help keep Austin focused.
There was baseball and wrestling, but for Austin the focus was never there.
"Sports didn't help," said his father. "We tried them all."
But music, in particular playing the drums, has been like a godsend for Austin.
Austin has won every talent show he's entered.
He's played with local bands and sometimes at carnivals and other local events.
"It's fun playing drums," Austin said.
He especially enjoys performing in front of people.
But much of the time he's just banging on his drums in the family home just outside Unityville.
"He's been going strong since he's been 7 years old," said his father.
Austin first started playing on a cheap paper drum set the family bought him.
It was soon discovered that the more he played, the calmer he became.
Medication also helps Austin.
There is no single medication that helps everyone with Tourette syndrome and none that completely eliminates all symptoms, according to the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke. Neuroleptics often used to treat psychotic and non psychotic disorders can help with tic suppression.
There is no cure for Tourette syndrome. However, over time the condition improves for many people as they enter their late teens and early 20s.
As it is, Austin may be living through the worst of it.
"We are hoping it's the worst time," his father said.
Tourette syndrome is nothing new to Ron, who saw his own father struggle with the condition.
Studies have shown that there is a genetic component to TS.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention study has found that 3 of every 1,000 U.S. children 6 through 17 years of age have been diagnosed with TS - about 148,000 children. Other studies estimate the rate of TS at 6 per 1,000 children.
TS affects people of all racial and ethnic groups. Males are three times more likely to be affected than females.
For Austin, TS is something he's learned to live with.
When asked if it's frustrating for him he said, simply, "Sometime yes, sometimes no."
Right now, he's looking forward to auditioning for "America's Got Talent," an NBC TV reality show that features singers, dancers, magicians and other performers of all ages competing for a top prize of $1 million.
Austin's mother suggested Austin create an audition tape of him playing the drums
The show's officials responded positively to the tape, resulting in next month's trip to New York to play live.
If Austin makes the cut, he could be on national television next year competing against other talents.
"It's exciting for us, but oh boy," said his father.

Eggs or sporangia on Java fern?
yesterday, I discovered quite a lot of "eggs" on the leaves of a Java fern plant. They are black and about 0.5 mm in diameter. Are they angelfish eggs? I also keep bottom orientated fish whose name I do not know. They are about 4 cm long and have a gray/white pattern like a marble table. They are very thin and actually rather nocturnal. Are the eggs theirs?
according to the description, I can certainly exclude that these are angelfish eggs (if only because angelfish care for their fry and would guard them), and I also think eggs of the other fish species (possibly "Otocinclus" Midget Sucker Catfish?) are not very likely. The eggs are clear, and one can see the growing larvae in them.
If the black spots are located on the bottom side of the leaves and form a more or less regular pattern they are very likely something completely different: spore cysts (sporangia) of the fern itself!
Best regards

Bindings for NS Proto HD and Solomon Malamutes
I was wondering if you all had any suggestions for bindings with this set up. Price isn't an issue. I don't see much park time, and I mainly ride all-mountain.
This has been talked to death of that I am sure, but my run down is Union Factory's, Burton malavita and now ipo.
Pretty much any of the middle of the road bindings. Burton Cartel/Malavita, Flux TT, Union Force, etc. IMO, once you get to the Union Factories, that's a little stiff for the Proto for my preferences but that doesn't mean it's wrong. Different strokes for different folks.
I'm using Burton Genesis' with my Proto HD and I bloody love 'em!
Yeah, it's a middle of the road board in terms of flex. Virtually every binding company out there makes not just one, but a couple of different bindings that would suit it very well depending on your individual preference. Unless it's a super soft pure jib binding or a stiff as hell pure freeride binding, it could potentially work for you on the Proto.
I use Rome 390 Bosses on my HDX and they are great. I think a good compliment for the board since they are both geared for all mountain freestyle.
I like the amount of adjustablity on the 390s and the canted footbeds mean with some tinkering you can get the perfect and comfy setup.
I like my Vita's the last 2 years on my Proto fwiw. They are invisible.
+1 for the Rome 390 Boss. That being said, it's mostly just personal preference. Some people like a softer binding for a more surfy free-style free, and some people love a stiffer binding for the more responsive freeride feel. I like the 390 Boss due to it being right in the middle.
Union Force, Contact Pro?

LOS ANGELES — Cody Kessler passed for 237 yards and two touchdowns and Tre Madden became the first USC player to open a season with three 100-yard rushing games since Marcus Allen in 1981 in a 35-7 win over Boston College.
Kessler and Max Wittek shared quarterback duties in USC's first two games. In last week's 10-7 home loss to Washington State, they combined to pass for just 54 yards, prompting fans to chant for coach Lane Kiffin's firing.
"We have to live with what happened last week," Kiffin said. "I'm really happy for our players and our fans."
On Monday, Kiffin announced Kessler would start against BC.
"That gave me the whole week to get prepared the way I can; a whole new confidence," Kessler said. "It was very exciting to get that rhythm. It was really unfortunate we got booed last week. At the same time, we deserved it."
The Trojans rolled up 521 yards of offense while holding the Eagles to 184. USC has allowed just 30 points in its three games.
Andre Williams, who rushed for 318 yards in BC's first two games, both wins, was held to 38 on 17 carries.
"We didn't do much on either side of the ball," BC coach Steve Addazio said. "We played a very talented team, didn't get field position and our offense stalled. But this one loss will not knock out the progress we've made."
Yellow Jackets QB has a happy homecoming
DURHAM, N.C. — Vad Lee threw for a career-high four touchdowns and ran for one as Georgia Tech routed Duke 38-14.
DeAndre Smelter caught two of the touchdowns from the Durham native, who said his house is "four minutes down the road" from Wallace Wade Stadium.
"It was probably the most emotional game because I know a lot of those guys," Lee said.
The Yellow Jackets rolled up 344 rushing yards and 469 total against the Blue Devils, who entered No. 6 in total defense in Division I-A.
"They came out in new sets; things that we hadn't practiced against," Duke defensive end Kenny Anunike said. "We've got to do better."
La.-Monroe 21, Wake 19: Tanner Price's two-point conversion pass to Michael Campanaro with four seconds left for the host Demon Deacons fell incomplete. The third touchdown pass by Kolton Browning, 43-of-68 for 315 yards, put the Warhawks up 21-13 5:38 into the second half. Campanaro tied an ACC record with 16 catches (177 yards). "It has a lot to do not with what we're doing, but how we're doing it," Wake coach Jim Grobe said. "We're a very lethargic offensive football team right now. We have no sense of urgency. This is nobody's fault but the head coach."
Pitt 49, New Mexico 27: The host Panthers, playing for the first time since a Labor Day loss to Florida State, scored touchdowns on six of their first eight series. Their defense held Kasey Carrier, whose 345 yards coming in led I-A, to 22 on seven carries. Five freshmen scored touchdowns for Pitt. One, Tyler Boyd, caught a 51-yarder and took a reverse 33 yards. "Once our offense gets rolling, I can do multiple things," he said. "It opens up way more."
Va. Tech 15, E. Carolina 10: The visiting Hokies intercepted three passes, recorded seven sacks and caused a fumble that led to the clinching safety with 1:31 left. Logan Thomas threw two touchdowns. But Tech, which lost its opener 35-10 to Alabama and committed three turnovers in beating I-AA Western Carolina 45-3, missed two field goals and an extra point. "Maybe we're getting more attractive as the year goes along," coach Frank Beamer said. "We're not pretty right now."
Syracuse 54, Wagner 0: Terrel Hunt replaced an ineffective Drew Allen and threw five first-half touchdowns against the visiting I-AA Seahawks. Coming off losses to Penn State and Northwestern, coach Scott Shafer earned his first win. "I didn't think about it too much until they dumped the Gatorade on me," he said. "It feels great. Let's get No. 2 as soon as possible."

Armed with multiple résumés and big dreams, top notch students at The University of Texas-Pan American were hoping to land their dream job with one of more than 20 companies or organizations from across the country that participated in the College Students Career Fair held as part of Hispanic Engineering, Science and Technology (HESTEC) Week.
Companies participating in the career fair included Boeing, Raytheon, Coca-Cola, the U.S. Department of Energy, NASA, Texas Instruments Inc., U.S. Coast Guard, Dell and many others.
Manning the Texas Instruments Inc. booth were two UTPA graduates - Lucio Nuñez-Salinas and Miguel Alanis - who now work for the company as engineers. Alanis, originally from Mission, earned his bachelor's in electrical engineering in 2000 from the University. Both told UTPA students about company opportunities and handed out caps and baseballs to thank students for visiting with them.
"We're trying to promote this area. I'm from South Texas and I love the area," Nunez-Salinas, a Roma High School and 2000 UTPA graduate said. "It's a shame that more companies don't see the large pool of bright kids here that want to do something for the industry."
Nunez-Salinas told students to stay current on the latest technology and gather training in it if possible to stay competitive.
The career fair made it possible for almost 600 college students to hear from company representatives, find out what career opportunities are available and apply for jobs.
"I'm just trying to get a feel for the companies and see what I really want to go into," Mario Zuvieta, a UTPA junior majoring in electrical engineering said.
With résumés in hand, classmates Carlos Segovia and Gerardo Dominguez, both UT Pan American seniors majoring in mechanical engineering, said they were hoping to gain exposure, interviews and possibly job offers from their visit.
Others who attended the career fair thought this was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to meet with potential employers.
"I came to see what opportunities are out there," Maritza Avila, a senior majoring in mechanical engineering said. "The career fair has companies from all over Texas and even outside of Texas, so it's a good opportunity. This may be the only chance I get to expose myself and show the companies what I'm made of."
Mary Martinez, a UTPA senior majoring in mechanical engineering was also hoping to gain information about the companies present and acquire an internship during the summer. She advises students who may come to the career fair next year, to bring their résumés in several forms.
Lanissa Holden, recruiting relationship manager for Boeing, said the company uses an online process for hiring and assisted students with their application at computer kiosks provided by the company.
"We are hoping to get the word out about Boeing and our opportunities," Holden said. "We want them to understand what we are about."
Holden advises students, who may be thinking about a career at Boeing, to research the company and know its products and services. In addition, a solid résumé that demonstrates ones skills and abilities is vital, she said.
"Know what your interests are and be able to communicate your specific area of interest to us," Holden said.

Found on about.com and am adding for ZWT6: North African/Middle Eastern. Goes well with any apple dessert.
- Combine cinnamon sticks and water in a saucepan or teapot. Bring to a boil and simmer 15 minutes.
- Return to a boil and pour into cups with a teabag in each cup.
- You may add sugar and milk to taste. Do not add lemon or honey.

Made on Mikekey's recommendation. It's July and I made a pitcher for iced tea. Being a cinnamaholic I used 8 cinnamon sticks (the wee 3 inch ones) and 6 Earl Grey tea bags. Oh Great and Glorious Cinnamon Goddess is this wonderful, I'm so glad that I buy cinnamon sticks by the 1.13 KG box!! :D
Very easy and tasty. Better than the pre-spiced tea, which usually hasn't enough cinnamon, or has other flavors with it. This would be good during the summer over ice also.
Very nice! I scaled the recipe down for one and enjoyed it cold! Made by a Looney Spoon Phoodie for ZWT#6!

They waited an extra 75 minutes to play Friday night. Its town waited decades to welcome home a District 12 softball champion.
It was worth the wait.
Jade Codrey crushed two long extra-base hits, Sarah Wertz threw a three-hit gem that included 10 strikeouts and East Lycoming defeated Clinton, 9-2 Friday at Volunteer Stadium to make history and capture the 10-11 District 12 championship. Other East Lycoming champions might follow but this team always will be the first champion in the league's softball history.

Emily Cross of Keystone is tagged out by Chylee Stroup of East Lycoming on a chase between third and home in the first inning Friday at Volunteer Stadium.
East Lycoming finished undefeated in districts and advances to the Section 3 Tournament. It also swept two games from perennial power Clinton which finished 2-2. The game started at 9:15 p.m., after the 10-11 District 12 baseball championship went long.
The wait had no impact, though, and East Lycoming led from the first inning on as Codrey put it ahead to stay in the bottom of the inning. The catcher hit a lead-off triple and scoring on Rachel Baxter's RBI grounder a batter later.
Codrey delivered again an inning later, slamming a three-run double to deep left field that put East Lycoming ahead, 5-0. She again scored on a Baxter grounder, making it 6-0.
The Hughesville team also ran the bases well and made things happen with its aggressiveness. After making a terrific catch in the top of the second, left fielder Jenna Davis scored East Lycoming's second run when she drew a one-out walk and scored on a stolen base and two wild pitches.
Two innings later, Hailey Harmon put East Lycoming up 7-2, drawing a lead-off walk, stealing second and coming home on the overthrow at second. East Lycoming finished with seven stolen bases. The District 12 champions also showed good plate discipline and drew nine walks. Baxter stole two bases following a fifth inning walk and scored as did Wertz after walking and stealing third to make it 9-2 in the fifth inning.
Wertz was dominant, especially over the last three innings, and struck out five straight between the third and fifth innings. She retired the last 10 batters she faced, growing stronger as the game progressed and striking out eight of those 10.
Wertz ended the game with a strikeout before running to hug Baxter at shortstop. Codrey sprinted from behind the plate and soon the whole team engulfed Wertz at the mound, celebrating a historic moment.

Bradford Doolittle of ESPN.com: "In the end, the Lakers still project to be about 3-4 wins worse than the Heat and Thunder. That might prove to be worse considering that Oklahoma City's core entirely comprises players still on the ascent. L.A. projects to be better than every non-Heat team in the East, but to get a shot at Miami in the Finals, the Lakers not only have leapfrog the Thunder in the West, but also the Denver Nuggets, Los Angeles Clippers, San Antonio Spurs and — just maybe — the Minnesota Timberwolves."
Tom Haberstroh of ESPN.com: "Think about this one for a second: Durant is 23 years old and just scored more points in one Olympics than any player in history (156). He made a mockery of the shortened international dimensions, drilling 3-pointer after 3-pointer during the tournament. All in all, Durant shot 52.3 percent from downtown and scored 30 points every 40 minutes in the eight games Team USA played. He made more 3-pointers than Anthony and Love combined. Again, 23 years old. As hard as it is to believe, he's only getting started. If he continues to raise his passing game like he did last season en route to the NBA Finals, James will have some company in the "greatest player alive" competition sooner than we think. At his young age, Durant has somehow already earned the "greatest pure-scorer alive" label. Not bad."
Serge Ibaka looks pretty happy with his silver.
KD on if OKC's still the favorite in the West: "You never know, but we feel confident about ourselves," Durant said. "The Lakers, we always respect them. We always have battles with them. I'm sure it's going to be even more fun this upcoming season when we play against those guys."
Berry Tramel on the Lakers: "The big, bad Lakers are back, just like always. Back enough to unseat the Thunder as the Western Conference champ? Not necessarily. But a lineup of Dwight Howard, Kobe Bryant, Pau Gasol, Steve Nash and Metta World Chaos is a roving Hall of Fame exhibit. Four guys past their wondrous prime, plus Howard, who has gone from Superman to Superpain. There might be enough fuel in the tank for the Lakers to mount another championship run. Heck, the Celtics dang near made the NBA Finals with an Over-the-Hill Gang; no reason the Dwightmares couldn't do the same."
Matt Moore of CBSSports.com: "Durant proved in the 2010 FIBA championships that he could lead a team to a world championship. In the 2012 Olympics, he showed that he can be a part of a team, and be the tip of the dagger without demanding the ball. Durant is undoubtedly still full of disappointment off the Finals. But in his first Olympics, he set the record for most points in a single tournament. He introduced himself to the World, set a record, and won gold. Not bad for a 23-year-old."
What might the 2016 team look like?
KD on playing in Rio: "We'll see. You never know how these things are going to play out. Hopefully I get a chance to go to the next one."
Adrian Wojnarowski of Yahoo! Sports: "Kevin Durant broke the American Olympic scoring record with 156 points, but James could've decided that he wanted the record and gotten it for himself. He controlled these Olympic Games the way he controlled the NBA Finals: always the proper blend of pass and score, defend and rebound. He's forever dominant now."
Josh Levin of Slate: "That seven-and-a-half-minute display of shooting, driving, dunking, and defense was the best demonstration imaginable of America's continued basketball dominance. The fact that the 2012 Olympics team needed to go on that run to win gold shows how much the game has grown in 20 years. Yes, the original Dream Team had 11 Hall of Famers, but the best team they played against was a bunch of college kids. We don't know how much the 1992-ers would've been tested against today's competition, but we do have a good sense of the current state of basketball in the United States. The world's best still isn't good enough, but it takes our best to prove it."

Taylor Swift has opened up about her past relationships, but when it comes to romance, the 19-year-old singer says she was a late bloomer.
"I was 15 and the oldest out of all my friends to have not kissed a guy," Swift tells Your Prom magazine for its spring issue.
Now she's making up for lost time by writing openly about love. "I like to write about boys and relationships," the "Love Story" singer says.
"I write songs about the things that happen to me, because it helps me figure them out. Writing songs is like breathing for me."
Swift has, of course, been famously linked with Joe Jonas, of the Jonas Brothers, but when it comes to her crushes, the singer says her dream date would be Gossip Girl star Chace Crawford.

Q. Tell us a little bit about yourself?
My name is Savannah Grace, born and raised in North Vancouver, Canada. I'm the youngest and probably least adventurous member of a very adventurous family. By the age of 7 they'd already dragged me through 30+ U.S. states on various family camping trips. At age 14 I was pulled out of school, this time to backpack around the world for an amazing 4 years. I'm 22 now and couldn't be happier with the experiences I've had. I've visited 98 countries thus far and because of these extraordinary experiences I was able to follow my dream of becoming a writer and have finally released my first book "Sihpromatum – I Grew My Boobs in China". I'm currently living with my Dutch partner in The Netherlands, where I continue to write and follow my dreams.
Q. This book is so much more than the title suggests, what message are you sharing and what do you hope to accomplish by doing so?
Sihpromatum, pronounced SIP-ROW-MAY-TUM means, "A blessing that initially appears to be a curse". On my book cover it says, "How an unwanted journey forced me to see the world with open eyes".
The reader will experiences new cultures and budget travel from a refreshingly unique perspective and walk away having learned something about Chinese and Mongolian customs and history. There are so many lessons I learn along the way about mankind, the importance of family and the art of appreciation.. It's a tale of personal struggle and growth, family hardship and bonding and ultimately the power that the experience of travel can have in helping us all to understand and come closer to the humanity within ourselves and each other.
My two goals are to inspire people to have the courage to follow their dreams and to also help others see that despite our differences in race, religion and culture, we all have the same basic wants and needs in this life.
Q. What would you say is the biggest take away from this kind of trip?
Before traveling I was pretty closed minded and quite uninterested in the "big picture".
The biggest lesson would probably be realizing that people are nice everywhere in the world. We all have the same basic wants and needs. We like to separate ourselves by class, religion and culture but the base of humanity is mostly all the same. We have emotions, care about our families and want to provide the essentials in life; water, food, shelter.
A world considered to be wrought with hunger, despair, corruption and danger turned out to be one full of love, family values and respect. And ironically, it seems that the less people have the more willing they are to share.
Q. What advice would you give to families wanting to embark on this adventure?
If you're doing extended travel my number one advice is not to be too restricted by a schedule. Be open and free to new things and go with the flow because travelling shouldn't be a quest or mission, it is a journey. Let all of your worries go and enjoy every second. One of my biggest regrets would be not living in the moment.
I would recommend starting in either Asia or Europe. Europe is more expensive but very accessible, people speak English and there is so much to see. Asia is safe, beautiful and cheap…
A few bits of advice:
- Do your research on the country, visas and vaccinations
- Plan around the weather such as when the wet and dry seasons occur.
- Take breaks when you get burnt out
- Bucket list. Have some personal highlights in mind so you feel enthusiastic about what you're going to see and do
- Be respectful of the culture (clothing, etiquette)
- Try new things and don't be afraid to get down and dirty
- Meet the people
- Start somewhere you have a genuine interest
Q. Was there a eureka moment or a time where it all clicked and that is when you realized the benefits of travel?
For me it became a lifestyle and part of who I was so I can't say there was any real eureka moment. It would be like trying to define the moment you became an adult.
I had definitely expected and anticipated a moment that would make me gasp for air or a "BAM" feeling….but there wasn't. Everything just happened, one step at a time, as if in a dream. Even when leaving our house and walking out of it for the last time, arriving at the airport, stepping on my very first overseas flight, and landing in my first foreign country… I was still just ME. The closest "aha!" moment was a few days into the trip when we were on an overnight bus to Yangshuo. When I fell asleep we were in a big, modern city, when I woke we were in the misty countryside with villagers plowing fields with the help of water buffalo. The landscape was so mysterious and unique that I was simply in awe, seriously contemplating whether or not I was still dreaming. It was a fairytale come to life.
In general, I was definitely having many moments of understanding and appreciation which I describe in my book every step of the way. I was constantly fighting with myself and my feelings about each situation I was thrown into. In the beginning I was trying to hate it but at the end of the day I could not deny the utter beauty and wonder of the places I was visiting.
Q. Are your aspirations to be a career author or have your travels inspired you to do something else?
When I was younger I had always written my thoughts and emotions down but it never actually "clicked" that I wanted to be an author. I was too intimidated by the idea and thought I could never create anything worth reading so I wasn't even going to bother. People had always complimented me on my writing but I never fully put the idea in my head to be a writer until the trip.
Perhaps, after my memoir series "Sihpromatum" I will branch off and do travel journalism of some kind. For now, I'm just going with the flow and concentrating on writing. I can never predict where my life is going to take me so I don't dare try, and yet I don't imagine I will spend my whole life only writing.
Q. What advice would you give others who want to share their stories and follow their dreams?
I cannot stress enough how important I feel it is to follow through with your dreams. So crushed by society and its expectations of what we SHOULD do, I fear people don't even have the urge to think "outside the box". Having a dream and dreaming is such an important part of life. Fighting for something you love and achieving it is so much more satisfying than any amount of money. You wouldn't want to be living with the regrets of "what if".It is said, "later you'll regret the things you DIDN'T do more than the things you DID do."
As far as writing your story, if you are feeling sluggish and don't know where to start, just START. I know this sounds like really unhelpful advice, but that's what I had to keep telling myself. Thinking and stressing about doing it is harder than just DOING it. Simply sit down and start writing, even if it's about nothing and you'll be amazed how stuff just pours out of you. There are times where you will have a complete writers block and feel like you were never meant to be a writer and you ask yourself WHY you're doing it…. Just tell yourself to shut up and go outside and find something beautiful to look at, get fresh air, go for a bike ride. Get the heck out of the house and feel alive again.
Don't wait around for somebody else to say it's worth publishing. Everybody is worthy, and now it's more possible than ever to do it yourself. Don't go halfway, you have to go all the way. It will be worth it.
Do your research, don't jump into anything. If this is your biggest dream DO NOT let the doubts, discouragement or anything else stop you! But also don't be afraid to take risks when necessary.
I hope that helps but nobody can make it happen except YOU!

Leadership Development
Frequently, the leadership styles and paradigms that we employ in social change work reflect the very systems we are trying to dismantle. We have internalized patterns and behaviors that do not always align with our vision and values. At Spirit in Action, we believe that when we slow down and reflect, we often see that the ways we function in our work– as competitive, aggressive martyrs who are burning out at record speed and achieving minimal results — is ineffective and unsustainable. Through our Leadership Development program we ask: What would our leadership look like if it reflected the vision of the world in which we want to live and thrive? How would we show up differently if our leadership expressed our whole selves? How can we show up consistently, fully centered, and ready to build strong, interdependent relationships and networks? Our key building blocks include:
- Honing a vision of who we want to be in the world and creating an action plan to manifest our vision.
- One-on-one and group coaching to support individuals to stay on track with their personal development plans through reflecting on what is working and where they might be stuck. We know that change is hard, and coaching provides affirmation when needed so we can continue to go deeper in our change process and critical feedback so we can redirect if needed.
- Leveraging the power of the arts, culture and the creative process to truly manifest the change we envision in ourselves, our organization and society by embodying new practices and behavioral patterns.
- Healing from personal and interpersonal trauma. Because the systems of oppression that exist externally have also been internalized by us, it is imperative to engage in our own healing processes. Without healing, we continue to inflict pain and trauma on ourselves and those closest to us.
- We work with members of our networks to set up local and regional Circles of Change where they can take leadership roles in convening and facilitating
Spirit in Action's Leadership Development program support individuals to develop key skills for more effective collaboration, relationship building and network building. Our Training of Trainers component aims to extend our work into the world. By supporting leaders in their own process and then providing them with a tool-kit, hands-on training and coaching they are equipped to then return to their organizations and communities and train others by creating organizational, local and regional Circles of Change. We know that our own organizational capacity and reach can only go so far, and we are also aware of the immense need in our movements, so we prioritize training others to take our work and methodology out into the world to catalyze widespread change and broad impact.

PERRY TWP. - Township trustees announced the streets they'll be paving and including in Columbiana County's chip & seal program this summer at an estimated cost of $110,000.
The list for paving included Shamrock Arbor, Shannon Lane and Heritage Lane while the list for chip & seal included Allen Road, Idaho Avenue, Michigan Boulevard and Johnson Road.
Trustee Chairman Cliff Mix talked about the list during Monday's meeting, noting that they attended a meeting with the Columbiana County Engineer's Office earlier in the day. The cost was set at $93,000, plus the cost of slag and the cost of blacktop for patching, bringing the estimated total in the ballpark of $110,000.
During the guest portion of the meeting, South Lincoln Avenue resident Louis Grande complained about a new flashing sign the Humane Society of Columbiana County installed next door, saying its still flashing a lot, still flashing in different colors and still on all night.
Grande had filed a police report regarding the light shining into his home earlier this year and had talked to Trustee Don Kendrick, who handles zoning issues. Kendrick said he had talked to a representative of the organization who told him they would stop the flashing after 8 p.m.
Grande said the flashing slowed down a little, but it's still going all night and still flashing bright colors.
"I imagine that's quite annoying," Mix said, adding they'll need to talk with the representative again "to see if she can calm it down."
Marvin Heacock asked a zoning question, explaining he's trying to buy a property on Jones Drive and wanted to know if he could put in a second drive and a second garage, detached and behind the house, with the drive near the property line.
Kendrick said the zoning allows one detached garage on a property no more than 768 square feet which must be at least 6 feet from the rear property line and 10 feet from the side yard property line. He would also need to purchase a $50 building permit since it's a structure.
Henry Spack offered a radio to the fire or police departments if they could use it, which he found in a truck he was scrapping. He asked for them to contact him.
Bill Tungate, of Shamrock Arbor, said he was just there with his son, who's a Boy Scout in Troop 6 trying to earn his citizenship badge. He did have a question about who to contact regarding a burned out street light in front of his house and was told to contact Ohio Edison.
In other business, the trustees agreed to advertise for sale a 1977 fire truck, with Fire Chief Bruce Whitcher saying he had received a couple of calls from people interested in the truck. He noted the truck's not good for fighting fires anymore, but could be used for parades or for power washing. He said the salvage price came to about $380 per ton and the truck was 3 1/2 tons. Trustee Don Rudibaugh said that's not a lot of money.
Trustees approved moving Patrolman Thomas Wire from part-time training status to part-time probationary status.

The Lakers have already almost traded Pau Gasol once this season, so it's no surprise that he sees the writing on the wall as the trade deadline approaches.
"There's talks and rumors every day. Today I was reading it was Minnesota is really interested in trying to put a good package together," Gasol told ESPNLosAngeles.com. "(Other teams are) calling, and it seems like things are just waiting for the right offer to come along, for (the Lakers) to pull the trigger."
Gasol was headed to the Houston Rockets as part of the NBA-vetoed deal that would've netted the Lakers point guard Chris Paul, and wasn't hesitant to express his disappointment over the ordeal. His play has improved after a rough start to the season, and he's averaging 16.8 points, 10.6 rebounds, 3.0 assists, and 1.3 blocks.
"It's out of my hands. It is what it is. I'd like to be here," he said. "I'd like to make this team better and get back to a championship level, but it's not up to me."
As for the Minnesota deal Gasol referenced, Fox Sports reported Wednesday that the Timberwolves are dangling rookie forward Derrick Williams in an attempt to acquire Gasol.

I WILL FOREGO my moment of silence to praise NBC's Bob Costas for planning his personal moment of silence Friday night out of respect to the 11 Israeli athletes and coaches murdered by Palestinian terrorists during the 1972 Games in Munich.
Costas was only 20 when it happened, but he clearly remembers what happened, who did it and why. Stoking those memories reveals a lot about where we (the U.S., the media, the West) is today.
Here's what happened, described by renowned sports ace Red Smith in the New York Times:
"It was 4:30 a.m. when Palestinian terrorists invaded the housing complex where athletes from 121 nations live and shot their way into the Israeli quarters." Smith clearly answered both the "what" and the "who." The answer to "why" is found in the fact that those Olympians were Israeli Jews. (Almost one-quarter of Israelis are not Jews.)

In response to a question, Toobin said it's "ridiculous" that, if Kagan is confirmed, all nine justices will have graduated from either Harvard or Yale law schools. He jokingly dismissed the concern that, with Kagan, four justices would be from New York City.
"I don't see the problem," he said. "You have (Sonia) Sotomayor from the Bronx, (Antonin) Scalia from Queens, (Ruth Bader) Ginsburg from Brooklyn and Kagan from Manhattan. The real problem is the anti-Staten Island bias."

DETROIT (AP) — Detroit police say two officers shot and critically wounded a man who pointed a handgun at them as they tried to break up a fight outside a restaurant on the city's northeast side.
Department spokeswoman Sgt. Eren Stephens says the shooting happened Saturday morning.
She says the gunman entered Mama's Restaurant and asked to speak to the owner of a vehicle parked nearby.
The Detroit Free Press quotes Stephens as saying that that the vehicle owner stepped outside, and the man pointed a gun at him.
She says the two then struggled, and officers who were in the restaurant went outside to intervene.
Stephens says the gunman pointed his gun at the officers, and they fired several shots at him.

Competition: Win a £50 Boden Voucher!
I don't usually do competitions, but this one's for a very special reason…
Regular readers will know that I am supporting a campaign to raise money to send a local Chester girl to the USA for cancer treatment (more on that here), and a huge thanks to those who donated after reading about it on here last time I mentioned it. The update is that the Anya Bentham Campaign now has just under 100 days to meet its target.
I can't run a raffle, but I spoke to the fantasmagorical people at BODEN and they agreed that it would be very marvelous indeed to run a free competition to highlight her cause, and sent through a whopping FIFTY POUNDS BODEN VOUCHER! (They sell ridiculously cute clothes for kids and stylish ones for adults – big wet smoochy thanks to them for the help).
We all like something for nothing, so all I can do is politely ask that if you would like to please please do text a quick little donation to Anya's campaign while entering the competition (text Anya99 and your amount £1-10 to 70070 or visit https://www.justgiving.com/appeal4anya/). It's not a raffle, it's more of an honesty pot. You don't have to give if you don't want to, I'm not tracking who does or doesn't, but if everyone who entered this gave just a little bit, or even a lot, wouldn't that be awesome?
So here it is. There's no tricky question, please just tell me how you've shared the competition and good luck!
a Rafflecopter giveaway
The draw is being managed by Rafflecopter, an independent competitions widget which runs the admin side of entries to make sure it's all fair and above board. They will pick a winner on 2 September 2013. Only open to entrants in the UK. See Rafflecopter for full terms.By inadifferentvoice in charity · Competition · Giveaway 22 Comments »
