text: Explore The Atlantic coast: Rabat to Essaouira Rabat Salé The coast from Rabat to Casa Casablanca El Jadida and around Safi and around Essaouira (Mogador) Share Alongside its wealth and its prestige developments – notably the Hassan II Mosque – Casablanca has had a reputation for extreme poverty, prostitution, crime, social unrest and the bidonvilles (shanty towns) which you will see on both sides of the train track as you come into town. In fact, the French word bidonville – literally "tin-can town" – was coined in Casablanca in the 1920s, when construction workers on a building project in the Roches Noires district, east of the port area, knocked up some temporary accommodation next to their main quarry. Over the decades, other migrant workers followed suit, and the bidonvilles escalated, partly from the sheer number of migrants – over a million in the 1960s – and partly because few of them intended to stay permanently. Most sent back their earnings to their families in the country, meaning to rejoin them as soon as they had raised sufficient funds for a business at home. The pattern is now much more towards permanent settlement, and this, together with a strict control of migration and a limited number of self-help programmes, has eased and cleared many of the worst slums. Also, bidonville dwellers have been accorded increasing respect during recent years. They cannot be evicted if they have lived in a property over two years, and after ten years they acquire title to the land and building, which can be used as collateral at the bank for loans. The dread of every bidonville family is to be evicted and put in a high-rise block, regarded as the lowest of the low on the housing ladder. The problem of a concentrated urban poor, however, is more enduring and represents, as it did for the French, an intermittent threat to government stability. Through the 1940s and 1950s Casa was the main centre of anti-French rioting, and post-independence it was the city's working class that formed the base of Ben Barka's Socialist Party. There have been strikes here sporadically in subsequent decades, and on several occasions they precipitated rioting, most violently in the food strikes of 1982. More recently, the bidonvilles also proved a fertile recruiting ground for jihadi extremists – one bidonville, Sidi Moumen, was home to perpetrators of bomb attacks in Casablanca in 2003, and Madrid the following year, and also to a suicide bomber who blew himself up in a Casablanca internet café in 2007.

|County launches campaign for healthier teeth
This week, the Sonoma County Department of Health Services formally kicks off "Healthy Teeth for Healthy Life." The campaign aims to help improve dental health through education about dental disease, tips useful to improve dental health and increased information on access to dental care services.
"Dental disease is widespread at all ages throughout Sonoma County," said Dr. Lynn Silver- Chalfin, Sonoma County Health Officer. "This campaign is critical, as dental disease and the cavities it causes are often painful and expensive to treat – but almost all problems can be prevented. We want to empower the community with the information they need to protect themselves and their families."
For adults, untreated dental disease or tooth decay can lead to loss of work and serious health problems, including heart disease and diabetes. In children, tooth decay can affect a child's ability to learn or attend school and is the most common health problem for children today. An estimated 5 out of 10 Sonoma County children suffer from dental decay.
The Healthy Teeth for Healthy Life campaign will include online information and targeted outreach with materials, presentations, and other information to select schools, community health care centers, dentists, childcare providers and other organizations and facilities.
For more information on the Healthy Teeth for Healthy Life campaign or to suggest a community group, school, or other organization that would benefit by receiving a short presentation on dental health, contact the County at firstname.lastname@example.com or call 565-4837.

Two people were rescued from a wind-whipped Lake Pontchartrain on Thursday afternoon after their sailboat flipped. The overturned boat was about 300 yards offshore from Lakeshore Drive at Canal Boulevard.
The New
Orleans Fire Department, New Orleans EMS and the New Orleans Police Department
responded to reports of an overturned boat with people in the water about
4:30 p.m. A Coast Guard boat also was dispatched.
The two people were reportedly pulled from the water by a passing boat and were taken to safety at a nearby marina.
On Thursday at 3:45 p.m., an approaching weather system caused the National Weather Service to issue a tornado watch, which included an advisory for small marine craft to exercise caution.

Grants made to Family Support Services in Amarillo and Panhandle Crisis Center in Perryton aim to benefit children and divorced parents across the area.
The nonprofit agencies shared in $500,000 of statewide funding for services that help noncustodial parents maintain meaningful contact with their children, the state attorney general announced Wednesday. The Attorney General's Child Support Division administers the Access and Visitation grants.
Approved services include mediation, visitation enforcement, supervised visitation, counseling and parenting education.
Family Support Services in Amarillo will use its almost $18,000 grant to continue funding a children's divorce recovery group, parental counseling and supervised visitation, said Roy Bowen, executive director of the agency.
"This money is really an attempt to do something different. It's about accessibility to services. It's about reaching out to these young kids," Bowen said.
Some of those children participate in Rollercoasters, a children's divorce-recovery group, Bowen said.
The agency works with school counselors to select the neediest children, and those are divided into age groups. About 10 to 15 children in each group meet at school for eight weeks, Bowen said.
"This is a wonderful way - in bringing this to the school - to work with school counselors and make sure these kids get the attention they need," he said.
The Panhandle Crisis Center will use its almost $14,000 in funds to provide supervised visits for noncustodial parents, parenting classes and family mediation, said Cindy Smith, executive director of the agency.
The agency has used this funding for at least three years, she said.
"It (the grant) allows us to offer programs to the general public," she said. "Most of our other funds go to victims of violence."
The crisis center, opened in 1984, generally serves victims of sexual assault, Smith said. The agency serves about 60 to 80 clients each year.
The attorney general's office will reimburse the center monthly until it has spent its grant amount, Smith said.

A recent Wall'o'Fame submission of a customer's beautiful 2.1 channel system got me thinking: how do you know if you're better off with sat/sub combination or two floorstanding speakers?
Turns out the answer is pretty simple: it's a matter of taste! A bookshelf-speaker-and-subwoofer combination can do an excellent job of reproducing both highs and lows. It's a significant step up from the speakers built into your television, and it does a great job of providing high-quality sound in a small room, den, dorm, or an apartment where running wires for surround sound isn't feasible.Log in

SAGINAW, MI — Two men charged with multiple felonies in unrelated incidents are free after the victims in the cases did not appear for court hearings.
Prosecutors on May 14 dropped the six and four felonies that Dalance D. Stephens and Wali A. Doster faced in connection with an April 24 incident.
Court records from Stephens' preliminary hearing before Saginaw County District Judge Terry L. Clark stated that the "victim doesn't wish to cooperate with the prosecution and didn't appear for court and was never served" with a subpoena. Stephens and Doster, who never was arrested or turned himself in on the charges, were charged with using a firearm to steal money, jewelry, and a cellphone from Terrel Ducre Sr. at 2424 Hazelwood between Hiland and Morris on Saginaw's South Side.
Stephens, 21, and Doster, 21, were charged with armed robbery, conspiring to commit that crime, and four and two firearm offenses, respectively. The robbery and conspiracy charges carry a maximum penalty of life in prison.
Later that week, on May 18, District Judge M.T. Thompson dismissed the eight felony charges that Richard L. Townsend Jr. faced in two separate incidents.
The victims in the two cases — an alleged April 16 home invasion at 1525 Ward in Saginaw and an alleged April 27 carjacking in Saginaw — did not appear for the 18-year-old Townsend's preliminary hearing that day.
In the alleged carjacking, Townsend "got into an altercation" with Preston Walker Jr. and "pulled a gun" on Walker, who was driving a Dodge Charger, police said.
Townsend then made Walker drive around town, and when Walker said he wouldn't drive anymore, Townsend "fired a shot outside of the car to show him he was serious," police said. Townsend forced Walker to drive around "a little more" until they arrived at another location in the city, police said.
Walker is one of two 18-year-olds charged with sexually assaulting a freshman girl on the campus of Heritage High School in Saginaw Township. The two incidents are not related.
Townsend was charged with first-degree home invasion, carjacking, discharging a firearm from a vehicle, and five other firearm offenses.
Carjacking carries a maximum penalty of life in prison, while first-degree home invasion carries a 20-year maximum penalty.

Accepted To Hacker SchoolAug. 28th, 2013 01:09 pm
That sounds exactly like Hacker School. So I applied for the autumn batch, and I've been accepted. I will therefore be taking an unpaid personal leave of absence from the Wikimedia Foundation via our sabbatical program. My last workday before my leave will be Friday, September 27. I plan to be on leave all of October, November, and December, returning to WMF in January. During my absence, Quim Gil will be the temporary head of the Engineering Community Team. I'll spend much of September turning over responsibilities to him. Over the next month I'll be saying no to a lot of requests so I can ensure I take care of all my commitments by September 27th, when I'll be turning off my wikimedia.org email.
When I'm in the zone, growing my programming skills, time is a blur, I feel powerful, and I am in awe of what we can make. And the more I think about doing Hacker School, having that feeling for weeks at a stretch, the more excited I get. So I'm thrilled that I can take three months off my job to come to Hacker School, so I can make tools to make my life easier, and so I can be a better community manager for MediaWiki (calling out easy bugs for newbies, running stats, packaging and customizing tools, etc.). I want to nurture the programmer side of myself, because programming is heady fun, and because the skillset will supercharge everything else I do. I'll be a more effective citizen, coach, and leader if I increase my fluency in code.
After all, it's going to take a lot of energy and innovation to improve the quality of open source software. We need open source software that ordinary people can use, with documentation in the languages users speak, and whose design addresses the needs of women and men worldwide. Whatever approach I take to that problem -- mentorship, platform-building, recruiting specific demographics, media-making -- I anticipate wanting to hack a lot of dashboards, APIs, courseware, wiki templates, poorly formatted datasets, CRMs, and helpful little scripts along the way.
Thank you, WMF, for the sabbatical program, and thanks to my team (especially Engineering Community Team's Quim Gil, Andre Klapper, Guillaume Paumier, and my boss Rob Lanphier) for supporting me on this; I couldn't do this without you. And thanks to the women-in-open-source community, especially the Ada Initiative, for helping me gain the confidence to take this step. (The Ada Initiative's trying to finish its fundraiser, in case you can help.)
If there's anything else I can do to minimize inconvenience, please let me know. And wish me courage!

I find this a little frustrating as I learn Maple, so I think there is a better way to handle this.
I find myself having to keep wrapping expressions with evalf() in order to compare them, since when I use a constant such as Pi in these expressions and then compare them, Maple complains.
In a large program, one does not know if an expression contains Pi or not beforehand, so is one really supposed to convert every expression to float just in case they might need to compare 2 expressions?
Let me explain with simple example:
x:=1.2; #it does not matter if this was 12/10 or 1.2, same error will result.y:=Pi/3;if x<y then print("x<y");else print("x>=y");fi;
The above gives the error "Error, cannot determine if this expression is true or false: 1.2<(1/3)*Pi"
So I changed the y assignment above to y:=evalf(Pi/3); or evalf(Pi)/3; and now Maple is happy.
But this for me looks awkward. In Mathematica, I can simply write the same, using symbolic Pi, and it works as is:
x = 1.2; #even if this is symbolic 12/10 it will also worky = Pi/3;If[x < y, Print["x<y"], Print["x>=y"]]
I did not have to write y=N[Pi/3] where N[] is the equivalent function to Maple's evalf() which converts its argument to real.
So, now in Maple, I find myself writing evalf() around so many things, since I have to anticipate I might need to compare them in some logic later on and I can't keep track which one has some symbolic constant such as Pi in them or not. While in Mathematica I never had to worry about this.
Is there a way to reduce the need to having to use evalf() so much? It seems to me, Maple should be able to decide if 1<Pi without me having to write 1<evalf(Pi) ?

Link city will be here every morning from here on out. Every time there is no link city, we will fine ourselves a dollar and donate to the best charity that is recommended by one of you. So bring the links and shit.
Alex's contract was NOT a long term front-loaded contract structured to achieve artificial low contract value for the purpose of achieving certain advantages under the salary cap. Nor was Backstrom's deal. That is why they were approved and why we played by the rules. Alex will still be young enough when his deal ends to sign another contract too! As will Backstrom. The writer knows that. Why he lumps the deal in with these other deals is just mean-spirited and inspired by other factors known only to him.

'bringing young people and artists in the Aboriginal community together to share time, tell stories and make really deadly art'
The City Project shares the ideas and opinions of Aboriginal children and young people (8-16) and the place and world they live in. Through walking investigations, workshops and one-on-one mentorships with artists and cultural practitioners, meenah mienne dared our young people to:
The works are a culmination of our young people working together with their mentors over a three-month period drawing inspiration from both contemporary and traditional arts and cultural practices and materials.
The City Project is coordinated by young people for young people under the mentorship and guidance of Aboriginal artists and cultural practitioners. This project is designed for young Aboriginal people to develop the skills required to devise, develop and run their own arts and cultural project.
meenah mienne offers Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander young people opportunities for creative expression, leadership and provides a safe space where ideas and opinions can be shared. Through one-on-one mentoring, arts activities and special cultural projects, meenah mienne supports intergenerational relationships, targeted community building, role-modelling and literacy skills development through a mentor and 'buddy' system for young people who face disadvantage aged 8 - 25.

Duran Duran
While a number of popular singers—Luther Vandross, Gloria Estefan and Annie Lennox among them—have been cooking up carefully focused cover albums of late, Duran Duran takes the potluck approach. A more gaudy and haphazard collection of borrowed songs would be hard to imagine.
A few of the selections are suited to the group's refined, almost effete British pop style. For instance, vocalists Simon LeBon & Co. offer up an intoxicated version of the Doors' "Crystal Ship" and a cheeky strut through Iggy Pop's "Success." And on the title track, they manage to recapture the kiss-the-sky psychedelia of that Led Zeppelin oddity.
The rest of the album lies beyond the bounds of plausibility. Let's face it: There are few groups that scream "white boys" as loudly as Duran Duran. If their sound was any paler, it would be albino. A powerful soul song like Sly & the Family Stone's "I Wanna Take You Higher" emerges as a flippant, hollow anthem in Duran Duran's hands, and their plastic version of a vehement rap number such as Public Enemy's "911 Is a Joke" sounds so inauthentic that it could pass for a parody. For sheer strangeness, nothing can match their chaotic shredding of the Temptations' "Ball of Confusion." (Even the chorus of nuns in Sister Act 2 brought more street credibility to that song.)
Say this, however: The band attacks all the material with its usual blithe enthusiasm. It makes for interesting listening, even when the results are ludicrous. If this album does well, brace yourself for a flood of incongruous copycats. Is the world ready for Neil Diamond Interprets the Music of Snoop Doggy Dogg? (Capitol)

Back to the US
I'm heading back to the US for the largest West Coast genealogy conference - and the largest number ever of participating genealogy bloggers (70) – at the Southern California Genealogical Society Jamboree 2011.
I just finished a short visit home after a long trip covering the East Coast. Here are some highlights of that trip.
At the end of March, I ran the MyHeritage.com booth at the Ohio Genealogical Society regional conference in Columbus. I reunited with old friends and colleagues, met new friends and also gave some lectures for local genealogy groups in Dayton and Cleveland.
The New England Regional Conference - in Springfield, Massachusetts – was next. I tried to find the Simpson family, but it seems it was the wrong Springfield. There were some very interesting lectures and the opportunity to work on my personal research with a lecture about genealogy repositories in Romania and Ukraine. A later conversation with the speakers discovered some previously unknown resources.

In my teaching I strive to be caring, supportive, and student-centered, while at the same time providing intellectually challenging and rigorous courses for my students. All of my classes, irrespective of size or level, are taught seminar style, and involve students in rigorous intellectual work, in reflective writing, in group work, and quite frequently in projects that demand practical applications or research extensions of the ideas under study. My postdoctoral training in psychoanalysis, completed in 2003, has greatly enhanced my teaching capabilities and has allowed me to understand group dynamics and the workings of anxiety in the classroom. In addition, it has allowed me to become more courageous in dealing with complex, anxiety provoking topics, of which the current war and the recent WTC disaster are obvious examples. I believe that teaching should be anchored in students' lives and experiences, but not bounded by the contexts of their lives. My goal is to enable students to go beyond these boundaries to envisage a wider range of possibilities so that they become informed proactive, caring, concerned citizens of our world. I believe that these values are evident both in my current course syllabi and in the pedagogical experiences students have in my classes. In all of my classes students encounter the following, which are illustrated in the syllabi for my courses:
• Opportunities for autobiographical inquiry into their own emotional and cultural experiences
• Opportunities to enter the emotional and cultural experiences of persons different from themselves through study of literature, poetry, and films.
• Opportunities to expand their intellectual understanding through exposure to rigorous and demanding theoretical work
• Opportunities to learn in discursive environments in which dialogue and discussion are privileged, and students are encouraged to take responsibility for their own learning
• Multi-modal assessment including credit for
o active participation and informal writing
o autobiographical inquiry and writing
o field projects where applicable
o responses to literature and films
o rigorous theoretical term papers
o opportunity for self-evaluation as part of the grading process
I believe in my students and in their capacity to learn. I am willing to devote as much time as necessary in class and outside of class to assist students in accomplishing their goals. I set my standards as high as I can and I view it as my responsibility to assist students in attaining those standards.
I believe that a fundamental responsibility of a faculty member is to be a working scholar. Our classes should be filled with fresh ideas, provocative thoughts, and classic and cutting edge thinkers and writers. Anything less is a disservice to our students. I read widely and my classes change constantly as result of my desire to test out my understandings by bringing new ideas to students.

Traveling this summer? Whether you are going cross country for a wedding, or making a trek up north for business, you will probably be packing for one reason or another in the months to come. Making the best use of your suitcase space is somewhat of an art form, or maybe puzzle is a better word.
Here are five tips to keep your 'case in place:
1. Plan ahead. The week leading up to your travels, look-up the weather in your destination, then pack your outfits accordingly. Shirts take up less space than pants, so try to plan ensembles based on your bottoms. Shoes also take up a lot of space, so pick your favorite pair to wear on the plane, and pack one alternative. If it's not raining where you are going, leave your umbrella at home. If it's going to be 90 degrees, don't bring a heavy jacket.
2. Pack outfits. How many times have we packed 12 shirts for a 3-day trip? Save space and time by packing complete looks (including jewelry, undergarments, and PJs), and nothing extra. If it helps, you can write down the pieces you need to pack on paper, and cross items off as you pack. Not only does this save you space in your case, but it will save you time on vacation. With each outfit planned in advance, you can be ready and out the door with ease.
3. Get help from your host. Take the time to call your hotel and ask them what kind of toiletries and appliances are available in your room or are accessible at the front desk. A lot of hotels have additional products available for guests, that aren't necessarily listed on their website. For example, travel toothbrushes, toothpaste, aspirin, etc. If you are staying with friends or relatives, the same advice is applicable.
4. Mind your makeup. Beauty products can take up more space than clothing for some travelers. Here's a trick to ensure you are only bringing the necessities: When getting ready the day of your trip, take a makeup bag and set it next to you. As you are getting ready, place the items you use for your go-to look in the bag after you are finished using them. When you are done getting ready, you will have everything you need in the bag, and nothing extra. Throw in a bright lipstick or alternate eyeshadow if you have a special event planned.
5. Leave room to grow. Utilizing all these tips will leave your suitcase looking svelte. Avoid the temptation to throw in items and fill it up! This extra room gives you the opportunity to do some shopping while you are away and bring home souvenirs.
Now that your bags are packed, it's time to go! Whether you are leaving on a jet plane or hopping in the ol' station wagon, make sure you remember to pack the most important thing … a smile!

NETELLER can't stand the heat
American online poker players (and people who make money from blogging about poker) have reason to be concerned.
As of January 18th, NETELLER, one of the largest publicly-traded companies that does online money transfers, will no longer allow US members (that includes yours truly) to use NETeller to transfer money to and from online poker rooms. Why? Because they don't want to get in trouble with the UIGEA – i.e. the Unlawful Internet Gambling Enforcement Act, which has effectively banned online poker after George W signed it into law in October of 2006.Â
Why did NETELLER take this action now? I am inclined to believe that it is due to what happened this Monday, MLK day. Two of the former directors and founding shareholders of NETELLER, Stephenn Lawrence (46) and John Lefebrve (55) (see pic on right of Lefebrve), were charged with laundering billions of dollars (around 7 billion dollars, according to prosecutors). They face a maximum of twenty years in jail. Besides being shareholders, neither man has any current connection with NETELLER, according to the company. Even if this is true, it is difficult to believe that their arrest has nothing to do NETELLER's decision to close its doors to American gamblers.
I can still use NETELLER. I just can't use it to play poker. What about the hard earned cash ($284.06) that I have sitting in NETELLER (fortunately I have no money in any online poker site)? Will I be able to withdraw this money and deposit it back into my bank account using EFT (Electronic Funds Transfer)? From what I've read, the answer is "yes", but it will take between two to four weeks to get it out because the company that processes these electronic transactions has terminated its business dealings with NETELLER.Â
Everyone is feeling the heat. Â
Now THIS is great gaming news! What do I do now?

text: The challenge was to create an unbiased, educational, and visually dynamic information design booklet formed around my research topic: Martyrdom in Palestine (An Investigation of Suicide Bombing). Visually, the information is rich and complex but structured in an organized way to allow the viewer to understand the complex topic. The design navigates viewers throughout the document, which allows them to create relationships, see similarities and differences, and give the viewers a new perspective and deep understanding of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. This method of presenting information works well as it allows the viewer to enter the information in many ways. This project has involved much strategic planning and demonstrates skill in the process of data gathering and critical analysis. As well, it demonstrates skill in a clear and accurate presentation of information with strong attention to detail.

HourlyMore than 30 hrs/week
Start DateApril 11, 2013
I Have a site I have a created in Dreamweaver. It is an online jewellery store (E-commerce store).
The site is mostly done. I have created all the Web pages (HTML FILES), and have created all the CSS. (Style Sheets).
A few things such as colours, and fonts are not finished, and I haven't placed all the images there, but the layout is all there. So you don't need to do any work there.
What I need is the following : SOMEONE TO INTEGRATE A SHOPPING CART SYSTEM INTO MY SITE!
I have a VERY specific way I want the shopping cart to look, and it needs to have a "top pop up cart". So I will need a pop up cart extension.
I will also need a zoom /magic zoom for my images ( i have not integrated this zoom into my photos/site yet).
Please see the following sites to understand:
have a look at the way they have their shopping cart. THIS IS WHAT I WANT. CAN YOU DO THIS? If not- Please DO NOT apply.
I will also need the following things integrated:
- My "add to cart" button must be integrated to the shopping cart database so each time an item is sold , it minuses it from my database, and if the item is sold out, there should be a script running to say on my site "out of stock"
- I will need a "wishlist".
- I also need someone to run a script when there is only one jewellery item left in my inventory/database , to have a little sign next to my jewellery item stating "only 1 left"
- I also need someone who can run scripts to ensure that people are filling out forms properly, that is , they are putting an @ symbol in an email, that they have inserted the .com . Things like that.
- I need someone do have a database built for me so there is one for my inventory and one for my customers, VIP clients etc.
- I also need a web page built with a "MY ACCOUNT" section where customers can have a 'wish list ' (Things they would like to purchase), the current orders, and their past order history.
- I need someone to run scripts so that all emails are sent to my email server.
- I need someone to install a payment gateway and have an SSL added (preferably GeoTrust).
I would also need them to have a general look at my site and clean up any HTML to ensure it is running smoothly.
I will also -assuming I'm integrating a shopping cart and need certain features, will need a CMS. Something like Opencart, magento, OSCommerce. This is to keep track of inventory etc etc.
*** THE MOST IMPORTANT THING FOR ME TO HIRE YOU IS COMMUNICATION AND EXPERIENCE. I need you to be available EVERYTIME I contact you and explain to me WHAT you are doing - the Work Diary on Odesk is not enough. I will need communication via Skype and email, and you must be available to explain and show me what you are doing EVERY TIME I SPEAK TO YOU - NO EXCEPTIONS!***
I want to see sites that you may have built from scratch and I want to see sites you have done where you integrated scripting and databases. I want the proof.
Happy to give a bonus payment for those who do a phenomenal job but you MUST be experienced. I DO NOT want to to and fro with everything.
IF you understand what I am after and you have the experience and can do what I ask - I would love to hear from you.
Please feel free to contact me for further clarification if needed.
Many Thanks.

ABC (Wednesdays, 9:30 p.m. ET)
I wish you would stop assuming that everything is tied to my sexuality," Ellen Morgan (Ellen DeGeneres) said to a friend a few weeks ago, lodging perhaps the most disingenuous complaint in this sitcom's 3½-year history. If DeGeneres hadn't come out as a lesbian last spring and brought her character with her, Ellen's ebbing ratings might have led to a quiet death. Now everyone's talking about the show—from Al Gore (pro) to the Christian Coalition (con) to the star herself (threatening to quit because ABC warned viewers of an episode's "adult content"). What are the chances the buzz would last if Ellen Morgan went from the First Gay Lead Character on Series Television to a quick-witted, rather jittery woman in her 30s who just happened to be gay?
So sex will be Topic A. What has Ellen to say about it? Not a great deal that's new, judging from this season's early episodes. But the show has a sly self-awareness that effectively disarms those who would accuse it of merely putting a gay gloss on stock hetero situations. Just when we were ready to dismiss one outing as an uninspired reprise of Three's Company—a prospective housemate thinks Ellen has a ménage à trois going with cousin Spence (Jeremy Piven) and friend Paige (Joely Fisher)—the episode acknowledged its origins with a funny cameo by Three's Company landlord Norman Fell. At the moment, Ellen is working on a romantic relationship with her mortgage broker Laurie (Lisa Darr). If her life grows too full to fit Spence, Paige and squeaky-voiced friend Audrey (Clea Lewis)—well, worse things could happen.

stretching- indications, precautions, techniques, etc...
adaptive shortening
prolonged immob, sedentary lifestyle, poor posture, muscle imbalance, weakness assiciated with muscle disorder, inflamation, pain, deformities
adaptive shortening that results in resistance to stretch, limitation in ROM and decreased functional ability (designated by action of shortened muscle)
indications for use of stretching
limited ROM due to adhesions, contractures, scar tissue formation/ Restricted motion my lead to otherwise preventable structural deformities/ Muscle shortening due to weakness of opposing tissue/ As part of a total fitness program designed to prevent injury/ Before and after vigorous exercise to minimize post exercise muscle soreness
contraindications for use of stretching
bony block limits, recent fracture, acute inflammtion or infection, sharp or acute pain w/joint movement or muscle elongation, hematoma, hypermobility,if contracture or shortened soft tissues are "functinal", if contractures or shortened tissues provide increased joint stability in lieu of normal structures or neuromuscular control
don't force beyond normal ROM (and normal ROM varies!), osteoporosis, long period of immobilization, age, prolonged steroid use, newly united fractures, edema, overstretching weak muscles
muscle spindle belly of muscle
reports velocity and changes in lenght of muscle to brain facilitates reflexive contraction to protect from injury
golgi tendon organ
senses change in tension a muscle tendon junction inhibits motor neuron activity (relax tells motor nerve to shut down so no contraction)
stress strain curve
visual representation of what happens to soft tissues under a stress (toe, elastic range, plastic range, neck, failure)
positioning of the body or segment to ensure stretch is applied to appropriate muscle group
cycles- slow repeated low intensity and ballistic- bouncing rapid forceful high intensity (bad)
Proprioceptive Neuromuscular Faciliation (PNF)
Hold-relax (HR) or contract-relax (CR); Agonist contraction (AC); Hold-relax with agonist contraction (HR-AC)
HR hold relax
the tight muscle (antatgonist) is lengthened isometrically contracts (5 second) followed by period of relaxation and passive elongation
CR contract relax
the tight muscle (antagonist) is lengthened concentrically contracts through out the ROM followed by a period of relaxation and passive elongation
manual stretch
therapist applies external force to move involved body segment slightly beyond the point of tissue resistance and available ROM
AC agonist contraction
pt. concentrically contracts (shortens) muscle opposite the range limiting muscle then holds the end-of-range position for several seconds
soft tissues are elongated just past point of tissue resistance and held in lengthened position w/sustained stretch for 30-60 sec.
short duration stretch force repeatedly but gradually applied, released, reapplied...with stretches held between 5-10 sec.
rapid,forceful intermittent high-speed and high-intensity stretch by the use of quick bouncing movements
What is the difference between 'stretching' and 'ROM'?
Stretching takes soft tissue beyond their available length to INICREASE ROM. ROM exercises stay within the limits of tissue extensibility to MAINTAIN available length.

Sellers of Italian cars fall into one of two categories: those who say "the car has some issues," and liars. This 1965 Alfa Romeo Spider Veloce, then, has some issues. Chief among them is a horrible repaint from the Spider's original—and, we think, most desirable—color of black to the well worn and/or poorly applied shade of gold. Or silver. Or whatever it happens to be at the moment. Hard to tell much about it, exactly, other than it looks awful. Ditto the riveted fender flares, painted door panels and expired soft-top fabric. A terrible car, then, this Alfa Romeo. Except that it isn't. Photos of the bodywork show remarkably solid sheet metal with little corrosion and excellent panel gaps. Almost all of the Alfa's beautiful and hard to replace trim remains on the car and in good condition. Under the hood lies the numbers matching engine complete with desirable Veloce components and the car is said to drive well, even in its current condition. Best of all, the seller indicates the reserve is low enough to allow the next owner to purchase and repair the car without slipping under water. If the Alfa were ours we'd commit to a full restoration in the Alfa's fantastic black over red original color combo and enjoy every fair weather day that came our way. Find the Veloce for sale here on eBay in Cedar Rapids, Iowa.

"Campers" in several different sites had their vehicles in various states of repair. Parts off, one was missing his front wheels while he was performing a brake replacement. Picnic table for your site is right next to neighbor's sewer line. Had 2 showers for over 100 camping sites. Surface roads are large gravel that makes it difficult to walk on. Easy access to I-10. No cable setup. Wi-Fi didn't work on my site, which was close to office. Doubt I will return. - ToyHaulerOne

Close to I-10 so noise is constant but not terrible with fans running. Sites are close but slides were OK and pull through had room to park towed behind, gravel spots but level. Fairly easy in and out with a 45' unit. Park was clean and when we plugged in we had very low voltage but park got someone on it within minutes and after a few loose connections in the box were repaired we were good. - bg3putts

Although we had to wait a while until the office opened over the lunch hour, check was easy and fast. Sites are a little narrow, but all are pull through. This state park has sewer which most do not although sewer inlet is 3-4 inches above ground level which makes dumping a little inconvenient. Only 30 amp in our site but utilities are easily accessible. Restrooms and showers, while a little dated, were clean. Sites are well separated and level. Many walking trails and good birding opportunities. We have been here before and will return. - starwind

Nice park, mostly quiet (they were repairing the entrance bridge and ran the pile driver into the night). Great sites, all level, all drive thru, full hook ups. Some of the trails were closed due to obstacles. Only complaint regards esthetics. Fallen trees everywhere. Wish they would let you gather fallen wood. Nice fires and cleaner appearance for the parks. - rcheathtx

This state park has full hookups and large sites. As a previous post stated the more private sites are on the outside of the loop, but none of the sites are truly private. They do mow a large section around each site, which is great as some parks barely mow around the picnic area. Would love to see a little under growth between the sites for privacy. Beware the water pressure is low and it fluctuates at times to very low. The way the sewer pipe is done makes it hard to completely drain your sewer hose. The park host mentioned that they are in the process of going through the RV sites and trimming up the trees, which is needed as I was not able to pull through the pull thru site because of low hanging limbs. Note that after heavy rain some of the sites have large puddles of standing water. As others have mentioned the bridge into the park is being rebuilt so there is a little detour. Nice hiking trails, but most of them were closed because of being flooded. Great birding area, but the mesquitos were so bad that I could not stay at the wildlife viewing for being eaten alive. There is shopping and restaurants nearby in Sealy and Katy. We camped here in a travel trailer. Would definitely stay here again when in the area. If the sites had more privacy and there was good water pressure I would give this park a 9. - MelindaK

Owners are wonderful and friendly. Park is 4th generation ownership, very rustic- gravel/dirt/grass driveways and sites with many full time residents. Some sites would be all mud if it rained. Large rec hall but very old. If you use GPS you will drive down a long rough washboard broad so get directions from owner. We did not use or visit the baths/showers. Park is located north of Sealy & Bellville. This park has huge trees with moss hanging, is very Rustic and away from traffic, but shows years of deferred maintenance and updating but CHEAP. - Oooooooo

We stayed with a group of friends and their friend - rallying together. What fun!
Each site had full hook-ups. This also made pack/leave morning easy-peasy for our large group. The gravel roads and gravel sites were mostly level and wide enough for awnings or tents. Trees were trimmed up, but cast nice shade for almost all the sites. Using their garden and eggs, much of our resort-catered meals were produced on the ranch!
Some full time residents are located on the perimeters. Each night was quiet.
I'd recommend reserving a site.
My Verizon coverage was good.
We would return. - AluminumCloud

This park is used for our district rally each year. The park is about the same as it was in 2011 when my wife and I came for our first rally. A lot of projects started but not finished. The park is quite plain jane, although it does have full hook ups. It is not kid friendly. There are another 200 to 250 sites for mobile homes. There are a lot of oak trees throughout the park. Coushatte does offer wi fi to its long term residents, but I don't know the cost. Our camping chapter uses this park at least once a year. - Joceil

This is one huge park and extremely busy throughout the summer. It has over 100 RV sites, along with tent sites and about 100 cabins. There are pull through sites and back in sites, along with 30amp and 50amp. It can accommodate big rigs as well. There are no full time residents or park models. It is strictly a family campground. The roads are all paved and the sites are easy to get into. Water is well water and good. The restrooms and showers are nice and well maintained. Wifi is sketchy at some sites, but basically OK. They also have cable TV at all sites. All the RV sites are full hookup.
They have a huge water park, regular pool, playground, and recreation center. The recreation center offers ceramics for guests to paint and T-shirts to color. They also have activities throughout the day, karaoke on Saturday night, and a pancake breakfast every Sunday morning. Summer is very busy and October weekends are filled with Halloween events. There is a lake for fishing and a walking path around the lake as well. They also rent golf carts to the guests.
Since they are Yogi Bear Jellystone park, you will see Yogi Bear, Cindy Bear and BooBoo throughout the day; particularly Yogi Bear for pledge of allegiance, Cindy Bear at the pool, and BooBoo at karaoke and story time. Check out the website: www.lonestarjellystone.com
This park is well kept and clean. The roads are all paved and the sites are well maintained. It has quite a few workampers working there who keep the park running smoothly. I would give this park an Excellent rating. Worth checking out, but if you do not want the crowds, go there before school lets out in summer. If you don't mind the crowds, summer activities take place every day and the kids will love it. - Kerch Family

This is the third time we've stayed at this park, and as usual, it was excellent. The office personnel were professional and friendly. This is a very nice park spread around a man-made lake, with plenty of room for your rig and vehicle. I didn't use the clubhouse or pool but they looked very nice and well maintained. Nice dog walking trail around the lake. All utilities were first rate. Concrete pads with nice table and chairs. Nice fenced in dog exercise area with free doggy wash facilities. I have absolutely nothing bad to say about this park. - Lynn Wagoner

We were here during the big 4/2016 Houston flood. There were several road closures in the area due to flooding, but the RV park was not flooded (lots of rain, but the park roads and most sites were ok). There were storm-related power outages, and due to that the hot tub wasn't working at first (they got it fixed after a couple of days). The WiFi signal was never very good. The laundry room was very good. Sites were a little narrow, but nicely constructed. - Neil_and_Sandy

This is a very nice campground with wide paved roads and wide and long concrete pads. We had a nice pull-through site with a concrete patio, but it was oddly in the back of the site. There are nice grassy areas between sites, and there are no trees so satellite is not an issue. Other utilities worked well. We did not use other amenities of the park. It is located in a very busy area and convenient to stores/commerce, but traffic noise was not a problem. The only issue was iffy wifi even though we were close to the office. - SMorin

Fantabulous is all I can say. Wide concrete roads take you to wife concrete pads with mowed grass between and picnic table on concrete patio. No dust and no mud. Bathrooms and shower were spotless, as was the 24 hour laundry facility. The pool was perfect and there were other gazebo's around the park with like new gas propane cookers and cleaned daily. The small lake is clean and attractive. The single complaint with the one star rating? The "longer term" park residents are neat and clean with many there for a month or two. There were no units that said "I'm here for ever" and their site trashed. None of that. What an enjoyable park with wonderful amenities. And the stainless free outdoor dog washing station was wonderful. What a great idea for those of us traveling long distances with a dog. Thanks Westlake!! We camped for three days in a motorhome. Our large pull thru site was #108. Next trip thru Houston we will plan on staying here longer. - Sweatlife

This is an rv resort that is also part storage facility and part full time residents. That being said, this park is extremely clean and provides good security. They have a very nice pool and club house center with exercise equipment, a tv lounge and a business center with computers.
The facility is mostly concrete with a patch of grass for each site. It has very good drainage when it rains. The wi-fi is excellent. Staff are very friendly and helpful. - Rd yacht

Very nice campground, level cement pads, nice landscaping, extra parking for tow vehicles. Laundry room was nice, that was the only common area we used. Had a lakefront lot, nice view. They did not have a fenced dog park but there are gates that let you out to the riverfront where the dogs can roam. Only inconvenience is the front gate takes a code and if they do not have any remotes available and nobody is coming out when you are coming in then you have to get out of your car and type in the code. We usually caught someone passing thru and piggybacked, not a major issue. We asked for a late checkout and they were very accommodating. - ChiefET

Mostly permanent residents with some campers and sites in dirty condition. There are trees but some make entering site very hard. Not a good place for large rigs. Campground grounds are not well kept. Sites are very close and one side of campground is very hard to drive into to occupy site with no outlet sign and no turn around. - dagopapa

Most residents are long term. I called this campground by mistake because I wrote down their phone number instead of the one I intended to call. The manager stated that they do not take reservations, but then proceeded to take my information and let me know we would be expected. Access is good and our site was level. There is no disconnect for the 50A electrical outlet - I don't like connecting/disconnecting "hot". Previous reviewers indicated no shade, but some sites are partly shaded. Also, a previous reviewer indicated no big rig access. We had no trouble with a 40 ft. coach and many sites would accommodate any big rig. My only issue is that this is not a $35 per day park. - 2005-Fulltimers

Small park with mostly permanent residents. Staff very friendly and helpful. Restrooms and laundry in a portable building, were in good condition. Biker bar next door has great hamburgers and friendly atmosphere (if you like that kind of thing). If you need a weekend stop in the Katy / Brookshire area for a couple of days, this place will accommodate your needs. Would stay again. - Jim & Vic

Besides my comment, look at the dates of the other reviews. Evidently, many improvements have been made because this is a very nice RV campground for $30.00 per night. All pull-throughs with full hooks. The sites are gravel, level, and well maintained. We were visiting here for the Chapel Hill Bluebonnet Festival which is ten minutes from here.
We would definitely stay here again. - Jloftin

First the pros: Full hook ups, good wi-fi at site, wide sites and easy access off highway. Now the cons: Filthy bathrooms and showers! I could have overlooked the horrible water stains in the showers, but it just masked the dirt. I don't think the bathrooms had been cleaned in a while as dirt was everywhere. There is no full-time attendant, and there is a note stating that due to thefts, they are not stocking the bathrooms with paper products. Makes me worry about my belongings while I'm away. Never saw the attendant, therefore, I never paid anything. It was worth the price. - ETX
Oct 2011 - $25.00
We stayed here for a month and have used this park in the past. It was a pasture converted into an RV park with the addition of good FHU facilities. Being on the top of a hill it is normally windy so awnings are rarely used. The 50-amp sites are near the top of the hill on all 8 gravel roads. The park hosts many rallies and normally those attendees park closer to US 290 while others park on the other side of the red clubhouse. You should not have any trouble showing up without need for a reservation. There is no cable so TV is limited to 1 station out of Bryan – College Station. There are small trees at most sites but none provide shade or roof mounted satellite reception. The park does not have a FT attendant so many will pay for their stay using an envelope found in the red club house. It is very likely we will return to this park when in the area. - Workamper04

Park was poorly maintained and had trashy trailers. Too close to the local beer stop and lots of loud trucks without mufflers. Residents let dogs run loose and did not pick up after their dogs. A large number of semi-permanenet residents. - TXiceman

The park owners do not enforce the rules and have dog owners keep their pets on a leash or pick up after them. Campground was noisy due to all of the locals with out mufflers on their vehicles. They also make unauthorized charges against your credit cards after you leave..paid for a full months rent and left after 17 days due to the conditions. - TXiceman

The above rate is daily. I paid monthly. This park is hard to evaluate because all the good qualities are sort of erased by the fact that the traffic noise is probably the worst I have experienced. Having said that, the sites are quite nice and the internet is the best of any RV park of which I have ever visited. The location is convenient and the people running the park are very accommodating. There are a fair number of permanent folks here but they are quiet and their sites are kept clean. Even though it takes awhile to get used to the traffic noise, I would stay here again. - troutslayer

2001 Trout/Salmon Stamp Competition
A painting of a rainbow trout by Ron Jenkins of Charlo, Montana was selected as the winner of the Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission's 2001 Trout/Salmon Stamp competition. The competition was held on May 31, 2000 at Wildwood Conference Center, Harrisburg Area Community College. A panel of seven judges selected Jenkins' depiction of a rainbow trout leaping from the water from a field of forty-eight paintings, submitted by 44 different artists. The judging was done in a two-phase scoring of the paintings without identification of the artists.
In a first for the Pennsylvania Trout/Salmon Stamp competition, the second place painting was also submitted by Ron Jenkins. Third place was awarded to a painting by Christopher Leeper of Youngstown, Ohio. Leeper was the winner of the 1997 trout/salmon stamp competition with his painting of an angler on Neshannock Creek.

Another round of testimony was heard Thursday night during a fourth public hearing centering on debate to allow a water withdrawal facility to supply the natural gas industry to operate in Old Lycoming Township.
Project engineer Todd Colocino, who was hired by Centura Development, of 1000 Commerce Park Drive, to design a site plan for the proposed Marcellus Operations Center at 3231 Lycoming Creek Road, answered questions from John Eck, township supervisor and attorneys representing Centura Development and Bimbo Bakeries, of 3375 Lycoming Creek Road, which opposes the plan to withdraw up to 250,000 gallons of well water a day.
In fact, three more conditional use hearings have been scheduled to accommodate additional testimony. Those are scheduled for 7 p.m. on June 19, July 17 and July 24 at the Old Lycoming Township Volunteer Fire Co. social hall, 1600 Dewey Ave.
Several residents near the proposed project and bakery officials oppose the plan to withdrawal the water because they said they rely on shallow wells and fear that their quantity and quality of water are at stake.
Eck asked Colocino if residents should take action now to monitor their wells and get an idea of what capacity they presently may have.
"That would be up to the individual homeowners. Perhaps it would be prudent," Colocino said.
The project engineer also told Eck that he didn't think noise generated from water pumps would be "obtrusive."
Colocino also said that water tanker trucks would not be "stacked" or staged on the property while waiting to be filled.
"That's not a standard operating procedure for this type of operation," he told attorney J. Michael Wiley, who is representing Bimbo Bakeries in later testimony about how trucks use the facility.
Eck also questioned a 1973 state Department of Transportation highway occupancy permit that still exists for the property. He said that information about the permit that was included in Centura Development's conditional use application was missing information and illegible.
Colocino later answered under questioning from Centura attorney Kurt E. Williams that the PennDOT permit was provided directly from agency officials who only had old microfiche copies of the document.
"Such as it was, that's what he had," Colocino said of what was given to him.
He added that PennDOT highway occupancy permits do not expire and that access to and from the proposed site off of Lycoming Creek Road would be under the jurisdiction of PennDOT and not township supervisors.
Wiley contented that any stacking of tanker trucks would potentially move the site's exit lane. He also questioned if the company's conditional use application took consideration of lighting, which Wiley said was a criteria under the township's ordinances.
The attorney also said there would not be proper rest facilities for drivers because such access only would be available between 9 a.m. and 6 p.m., even though the project would be a 24-hour-a-day operation.
The Susquehanna River Basin Commission granted approval on Dec. 14, 2012, for water withdrawal, noting that it would "not cause permanent loss of aquifer storage, render competing supplies unreliable or cause adverse impacts to the water resources in the basin."

During her first two years on the Oak Knoll track team, Bridget End didn't have to look very far to see what it took to be a champion.
All she had to do was look right next to her during training runs to see how it's done.
``I was fortunate to have Katie McCafferty on my team,'' said End, now a senior who is headed to Dartmouth. ``I learned how to train and how to push myself by watching Katie and running with her. She was a greart role model to have.''
McCafferty, now running at Georgetown, was a national champion in the two-mile at the 2008 Nike Indoor National Championships.
McCafferty's work ethic and success has rubbed off on End, who has put in her share of miles and is beginning to make for herself this season.
After finishing second in the 1,600 in 5:15.73, just behind Ines Simoes of Roselle Catholic (5:15.22) at last Saturday's Union County Championships at the Jersey City Armory, End came back a couple hours later to upset Simoes, the defending champion, to win the 3,200 in 11:23.56, a drop of 20 seconds off her previous best.
``I was hoping to run around 11:20, but to drop my time by 20 seconds and win is just an amazing feeling,''; said End. ``It makes all that hard work so worth it.''
