Every year, it seems that David Ortiz is on the precipice of disaster.
Every season, armchair scouts and amateur bloggers (myself included) predict that this is the year that Ortiz's pixie dust will wear off, that he will once again return to the unheralded, ignominious roots from whence he came.
Every year is the year that he's supposed to regress to Minnesota-level Papi, and cease to be the smiling, home run-hitting, swagger-iffic force of nature we have seen in Boston.
And every year they are wrong. Ortiz continues to produce at a remarkably high level. But Ortiz will be a free agent at the end of the 2011 season, and the Red Sox have a decision to make:
Do they once again invest in the player who has brought them unmatched success?
Or do they cut the cord early on Ortiz, bet that his production will diminish in the next year or so, and build towards the future?
It isn't a decision to be taken lightly, however the answer is surprisingly simple:
The Red Sox must keep David Ortiz.
What follows are 12 reasons why Boston would be foolish not to retain Big Papi's services, and why his value to the team goes far beyond anything that is measurable by home run totals or slugging percentages...

Playing pranks on Ash ^^
Chikyu and Kazan
Chikyu was over at the beach after the speech. She and Kazan had already gotten the items needed-she got an arm band and he got a badge-and they were just handing out. Kazan sighed. "Hopefully the final preperations on the studio are ready once we get back." Chikyu softly smiled. "I can't wait to see it. Of course, we still need many people to help with decor, music, and many things. But we'll handle it."
Kazan nodded and got up, staring at the waves in the distance. Chikyu stood in her kimono and sighed. "Humans and psychics might not understand that being a witch or wizard isn't all fun and games. We have to work hard too." Kazan nodded.
Chikyu stared out at the distance. "Waves are like life...you never know how big they will get. But no matter how big they get, it never determines how much water it carries. In life, you never can determine how it will be by how much money or power you carry." Kazan slowly nodded. "You speak the truth, sister."
Eggy click, pwease!
The girl you just called fat? She is overdosing on diet pills. The girl you just called ugly? She spends hours putting makeup on hoping people will like her. The boy you just tripped? He is abused enough at home. See that man with the ugly scars? He fought for our country. That guy you just made fun of for crying? His mother is dying. Copy and paste this into your sig if you think bullying is wrong. You never know what it's like until you walk a mile in their shoes. -

Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

The skin on your lips is very thin and does not produce oil on its own to keep them moisturized so they become dry or chapped. To prevent this condition, use our lip balm that is loaded with beneficial nutrients including pure unrefined she butter, healthy fatty acids and antioxidant vitamin A, E & F. 30% of this formula is pure unrefined shea butter- the highest amount in the market! Most only have 1 to 2%. Our luxurious lip balm provides natural healing and moisture to keep lips soft and supple - this smooth formula is never sticky and melts on your lips!
Other Ingredients
Butyrospermum parkii fruit (pure unrefined shea butter), helianthus annuus (sunflower) seed oil, vitis vinifera (grape) seed oil, euphorbia cerifera (candelilla) wax, theobrom cacao (cocoa) seed butter, d-alpha tocopherol (vitamin e), rosmarinus officinalis (rosemary) extract, calendula officinalis flower extract.
Tropical Vanilla Lip Balm: vanilla planifolia bean oil
Strawberry Lip Balm: fragaria (strawberry) flavor
Orange Cream Lip Balm: Citrus aurantium dulcis (orange) peel oil
Pomegranate Acai Lip Balm: frapunica granatum (pomegranate) seed oil, euterpe oleracea fruit (acai berry) extract
The pure Shea butter in OOA lip balms may form granules in cooler temperatures; this is normal. Once applied, the warmth of your lips will soften any Shea particles in a jiffy. Your lips will thank you!
I love this value pack of shea butter lip balms. They go on thicker than other lip balms if temperature is cold outside but just fine during the summer months. They are long lasting, contain natural ingredients, and are priced right!!!! Click on my name above in blue to see more reviews of products I have purchased from iHerb!!!!
He vuelto a repetir con este producto para regalarlo a mis familiares. Es un balsamo excelente.

Worst lip balms i have ever used. I bought a couple of different vegan brand lip balms, the hemp ones and crazy rumors are extremely moisturizing and are my go to's and they smell divine. These on the other hand are waxy and aren't conditioning at all to your lips. The strawberry one smelt so bad that i had to throw it out without even using it, didn't smell like strawberry at all, the orange smells artificial, the acai one is okay and the tropical vanilla one smells really good, too bad about the consistency of the balm itself. The tropical vanilla one would be great in a candle. Ditch the strawberry from your line immediately and change your formula if you want good sales and reviews.

Me han gustado mucho, especialmente por la manteca de karité y demás ingredientes, No se derriten en exceso y no te emborronan el labio. Perfectos para uso diario, ¡y a todas horas! Me noto el labio hidratado y sin grietasl, lo recomiendo, y más si se combina con una buena exfoliación.
Very hydrating

Peter Korn grew up in Mount Airy and Rydal and was educated at Germantown Friends School and the University of Pennsylvania, where he majored in history. His father, a Philadelphia lawyer, was expecting his son to follow a conventional career path by becoming a lawyer, too, or a doctor, professor, or stockbroker.
Instead, Korn went to Nantucket and got a job as a carpenter. His father may have been dismayed that his son was working with his hands, but Korn loved it.
"From the start, there was a mind/body wholeness to carpentry that put it way ahead of what I imagined office work to be," Korn writes in his new book, Why We Make Things and Why It Matters: The Education of a Craftsman.

Magnetic reconnection, how does it work?
NASA's Magnetospheric Multiscale (MMS) mission is set to lift off today, March 12, at 10:44 p.m. EDT from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida aboard a United Launch Alliance (ULA) Atlas V rocket. (NASA TV launch coverage) [more inside]
In geologic terms it's imminent. In biologic, maybe within a lifetime.
Earth's Magnetic Field May Be About to Flip [summary] - "Earth's last magnetic reversal took place 786,000 years ago and happened very quickly, in less than 100 years -- roughly a human lifetime. The rapid flip, much faster than the thousands of years most geologists thought, comes as new measurements show the planet's magnetic field is weakening 10 times faster than normal and could drop to zero in a few thousand years." (via)
Portals Between Earth and Sun Open Every Eight Minutes
Magnetic Portals Connect Sun and Earth. "Like giant, cosmic chutes between the Earth and sun, magnetic portals open up every eight minutes or so to connect our planet with its host star. Once the portals open, loads of high-energy particles can travel the 93 million miles (150 million km) through the conduit during its brief opening, space scientists say." [Via]

SEPTEMBER IS FOR back-to-school sales, Mets fans waiting till next year and a new season of college football. This report will cover everything from the juiciest early season games to why Jake Locker rode a fire engine.

1. Remember how pumped Buckeyes fans were 3 years ago when Terrelle Pryor chose Ohio State over Penn State, Michigan and Oregon? Oh, if they only knew. "When he first got here, I don't think too many people liked him really. He was kind of a punk," said senior linebacker/safety Tyler Moeller. "But now I have the utmost respect for him. He's a great player and a great leader, and I'd follow him into battle any day."

This painting has a dream-like atmosphere: the woman is pensive and the reflection of her face in the mirror is silhouetted against a seascape. There is no story here; viewers were intended to appreciate the picture's design, colour and mood. James Whistler's enthusiasm for Japan influenced the composition and the selection of objects. It inspired the poet Algernon Swinburne to write Before the Mirror and his verses, written on sheets of gold paper, were pasted onto the original frame. Whistler's lover, Joanna Hiffernan, was the model and it was painted at Whistler's house in Chelsea.

2010 Subaru Tribeca SUV 3.6R Limited 4dr SUV AWD (3.6L 6cyl 5A)
I recently purchased a used 2010 Tribeca 3.6 L engine , my first Subaru, and am rather pleased except for a 'howl' in my automatic transmission.The sound changes as goes up through gears and especially noticeable from start through 2nd.Dealer has determined it is the alternator since engine speed also changes as gears change.Cannot believe any auto manufacturer would make their top of the line 'touring' vehicle with this howl or whine as I have been told by others.Either way a defective alternator OR transmission needs to be replaced.
AWD and safey crash ratings especially on informedforlife.org
So far at 50,000 miles the brakes and rotors replaced, tires (now spare is not matched to the 4 on the car, rack & pinion, front hub cap (fell off), 3rd brake light, missing engine coolant, hole under front seats...
This vehicle needs to be more reliable with less failure of items.
If the transmission is failing this may be the last straw.
Dealers say all Subaru's make this noise, but if so would think Subaru customer contacts would find documentation on this.
After 2000 miles still love the handling and safe feel of the Tribeca. The leather seats are comfortable, and the power moonroof is nice too. The home-link on the sun visor eliminates all the remote control clutter. Have not setup the Blue-tooth as yet. Getting better mileage then advertised, around 18.5 mpg city, don't know about highway. Would like to see more storage compartments up front - glove box just big enough to hold manual nothing else. I have not tried the transmission in Sport mode - regular mode seems plenty perky and alive.
Love the stability of all wheel drive. Interior and exterior fit and finish are excellent. Appreciate using regular gas. Harman-Kardon stereo sounds nice. The rear AC is handy for our Houston summers. Puddle lights and rear view camera are nice touches. Best of all are handling and comfortable seats
Gas tank is too small; an extra gear would be nice for highway mpg. The rear 2 seats are for emergencies only. What's with the slightly off-center steering wheel ? The temper and fuel gauges are a bit hidden from few. There is an bit of a blind spot where the A pillar meets with the outside mirror.
I was looking for 7-seat SUV as well as for luxury, safety and reliability. First I tested Audi Q7, then Acura MDX, Lexus. Then looked at Volvo XC90 and BMW X5. Not decided. Then I went to the dealership for my Forester's regular service and tested Tribeca. I felt just as comfortable in it as in the previous cars. Price was much less so it was done deal. Some complain about fuel economy of Tribeca. But guys, this is not your old little Subaru! This is almost a truck! After about 1200 miles I started getting about 16 mpg in Brooklyn and more than 21 mpg on highway. Just as promised. In line with other vehicles in the class. Also it speeds up really well in sport shift mode.
Superb drive. Adequate power. 7 seats - 5 comfortable + 2 ok. Low maintenance costs and reliability (from experience with Forester). Symmetric, permanent AWD that I think is better than Acura's SH-AWD, Audi's Quattro and BMW's xDrive where systems take time to transfer the power. High safety ratings
When I have two car seats in the second row - normal person fits well between them, but obese won't feel so comfortable. Looking at the dimensions data, the other vehicles I tested are a bit wider. Perhaps it can be made wider too. Anyway, I give it all 10's as it completely satisfies my family need
My family have been loyal Volvo owners for the last 12 years. Given Volvo's current lack of a value proposition we decided to expand our horizons before purchasing a car this year. My checkpoints for our decision were a. needed to be real AWD; b. must accommodate 2 6 ft+ boys comfortably in the back seats; and c. it need to fit our budget. Point A eliminated a bunch of vehicles very quickly. Point B narrowed the list down even further. After looking at Mercedes, Audi, Volvo, VW, Toyota and Nissan's offerings we went off to look at Subaru's offerings on a friends recommendation. We took a 60 minute test drive of the car and came back thrilled with the drive, the space and the value.
The car drive's superbly and has great road feel. Torque is excellent and acceleration is crisp and responsive. The finish is good, but a bit too plasticky. The real kicker is that it cost $15,000 less any "comparable" SUV on the market. The car is as safe as any other SUV out there.
First thing you need to get over is that the car sounds like a sewing machine when standing outside. After that, all is good. The interior is a B-, C at best. There is just too much plastic. If you don't get the nav system, the screen is basically useless and the bluetooth system is poor.
I read everything on line about the Tribeca. It was frustrating as many of the reviews contradict each other (e.g. one says there is very little body roll, the brakes are great while another says there is too much body roll and the breaks are spongy). You have to drive it yourself to judge. I was a Chevy Trail Blazer owner (LTZ) and I have to say the Tribeca drives way better, is more responsive, and stops quicker than the trailblazer. Yes, a lot of reviewers say gas mileage is poor on the Tribeca. Indeed, but measure it against any other all wheel drive and none of them are any better (the reviewers seem to compare the all wheel drive of the Tribeca with the 2 wheel drive of other make
interior design, responsive engine, handling
telescoping steering wheel is a necessity, other things are less necessary but nice: automatic headlights (with a delay when you shut off the car), rain sensitive windshield wipers, and an easier way of changing settings (e.g. via menu choices)

It was, however, a crowded one that featured a good bit of heated rhetoric - especially among candidates running for state district judge in the Panhandle.
One race seemed to turn particularly testy near the end. It is troubling to the extent that the nastiness seemed to center on an issue that ought to have no relevance.
The Republican Party primary race for the 320th District Court judgeship now held by Don Emerson offered an object lesson on one of the shortcomings of electing judges in Texas.
Emerson ran successfully - but only barely - against Amarillo lawyer Melinda Mayo. He suggested in some television advertisements that he supports the death penalty for capital criminals. That's fine, Judge, except for one thing: It really doesn't matter whether a trial judge favors capital punishment. What matters is that he or she follows the law, which the Legislature writes.
Mayo seized on that point late in her campaign with her own advertising blitz. Mayo pointed out that she would pronounce death-penalty sentences "returned by juries."
Ah, yes. Juries. They comprise the fine folks who on occasion give up their time to determine whether criminals should die for their crimes.
The law, which does invest great power in our state's trial judges, doesn't give them the power to throw out at random a duly constituted death sentence at the end of a public trial.
All of this makes me a bit leery of judges and judicial candidates who make such proclamations about supporting the death penalty or being "tough on crime." None of it really matters when selecting someone to administer the law.
What does matter is whether judges are able to do their job without interjecting their own bias into the process. That should go without saying, yet we hear from judicial candidates that they will "treat everyone fairly and impartially," which is what Mayo promised to do.
That's awfully big of you, Counselor.
My fondest wish is that judges bring a bit of Solomonlike wisdom to the bench. Accordingly, it is a judge's duty to treat all people with fairness and impartiality, isn't it?
Voters have every right to expect them to do exactly that. Nothing more and nothing less.
During my quarter-century in journalism, I have seen too many judicial candidates - and judges - line up on one side or the other. They're hangin' judges or they're soft on crime.
Two examples stand out.
Larry Gist was a criminal district judge in Jefferson County. He's now retired, but during his long and illustrious career on the bench, Gist developed a reputation as a judge who was "tough on crime." In fact, the state named one of its state jails after Gist. He was a friend of law enforcement and of prosecutors, and he was perceived as being decidedly less friendly to the criminal defense bar.
Charles Baird served on the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals after serving on the State District bench in Houston. He came up from the defense side. He was one of the appellate courts' more liberal members before losing his bid for re-election. Baird's opponents said occasionally that he was too willing to cut defendants slack on appeal.
I am uncomfortable with judges who line up with one side or the other.
Accordingly, I get a bit squeamish when I hear judges proclaim their support - or their opposition - to the death penalty. They are in effect pre-judging a case before they ever hear it.
They sit in judgment of people who have committed crimes. They take an oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution and the laws of the United States and this state," without regard to whether they agree or disagree with them.
Yet this elective process of ours gives judicial candidates license to proclaim things that in the grand scheme of things have little actual significance as to their ability to do the job they seek.
This primary season is over. That's the good news.
The bad news is that we're now into the runoff races, which are preparatory to the fall campaigns, during which we all can expect a lot more heat and precious little light.

3% seems like a lot of oil, wouldn't that give the crust more chew than crunch? Nice oven.
Buddy's is basically my target. Where I grew up on the west side, Buddy's was closest, so it's what I grew up on, and to a lesser extent, Shield's. The east side places, might as well have been in Canada.
Yes that last shot is the open crumb you can see I'm missing in my penultimate pic. I guess you did sauce after baking too?Thank you Tim.
Larry,I do like the open crumb. A long room temperature ferment with the dough in the pan (and covered) seems to work best for me to get that. I put the sauce on during the last 5 to 10 minutes of the bake.Tim
Larry,I don't know if you looked at the Two Bill's thread at http://www.pizzamaking.com/forum/index.php?topic=21559.0 It didn't start out as a Buddy's thread, but there is a lot of information on that thread about trying to make a Buddy's Detroit style pizza. I like no oil in the dough, but then I didn't ever try oil.Norma
So what's your definition of "long"? I did 18 hours bulk, punched it down then 6 in the pan. I probably would have gone 12/12 but my schedule didn't permit it.
Looks good. Interesting bake time. How did it compare to your other bakes?On my last DS I tried out baking at 475F for about 15 minutes. I'll go back to my normal 525F for 11 minutes.

Rolling Trimmers are the new generation of paper cutters. Designed for safety and accuracy, the cutting blades are encased in a plastic housing that virtually eliminates the chance of personal injury. The rotary action of these trimmers allow the blade to cut in either direction and sharpen itself as it cuts. It's this self sharpening action that produces a clean burr-free cut and guarantees many years of smooth precise cutting.
Dahle's professional series of large format rolling trimmers are designed for heavy duty applications where precision is essential. Most models in this series have a cutting capacity of up to 14 sheets of paper at a time and are perfect for cutting paper, trimming photographs, and large format printing.

Ramban (Urdu: ضلع رام بن) is one of the 22 districts in the state of Jammu and Kashmir, India. Ramban is located in the lap of Pir Panjal range of the mighty Himalayas. It was carved-out out of erstwhile Doda District keeping in view the backwardness, remoteness and aspiration of people of the area. District Ramban started functioning as independent unit on April 1, 2007.[2] Ramban town is the district headquarters. The town is located midway between Jammu and Srinagar along the Chenab river, on National Highway-44, (originally National Highway 1A (India)) approximately 150 km from Jammu and Srinagar.[3]

Historical Traveler Reviews Marriott's Ocean Pointe Palm Beach Shores
Great vacation!
This is a beautiful resort! The pools are great, and the hot tub is nice. The grounds are very lush and the food and drinks at the tiki hut are really good. Good restaurants are Sailfish Marina, the Crab Pot - great fried shrimp. The City Place Mall is really impressive and looks like an Italian village. Legal Seafoods there was great. SInger island is a really nice place to vacation.
Nice Vacation
My boyfriend and I spent a week at Ocean Pointe in May. We had an efficiency unit which was very nice and clean with a microwave and a small 'fridge. It looked recently built or remodeled.
We spent our time at the "quiet" pool. The cabanas at the pool are on a first come, first serve basis. They were usually all taken by the time we made it down to the pool at 11am or 12pm but one would open up around 3pm. The pool was nice and large with two two hour periods for adult swim.
The beach was okay. The water was pretty rough so we didn't go in much.
We had a great dinner at Ruth's Chris Steak house and a couple of really good meals at Bruzzi's in West Palm Beach at the City Center. Also, the Muvico Parisian movie theatre there was great!
I'd go back again.
Lovely Resort . BEWARE of the cabana rental outfit there....
Our experience was as follows; We requested a high floor six months before check in and were only given a 3rd floor 2 bed/2 bath suite after complaining to management and Marriott customer service. Check in was supposed to be @ 4PM. We arrived @ 3:15 and did not get our room until 4:30. The rooms were very clean and well decorated. The resort grounds are beautiful and the staff a mix of courteous and disinterested. The beach is not as nice as some of the other Florida locales but it was ok. BEWARE of the folks that run the cabana. My experience was one reminscent of dealing with vendors on a street corner in a third world country. I was quoted a price of $25 per day since I was paying for multiple days. I was actually charged $35/day(30% tax??). I was told a refund is given for days the cabana was not used. It rained one day all day and was not given my money back. I also paid cash and was charged twice on my room bill. You can also get toys and boogi boards for the kids for free from the hotel, but they charge at the beach. A guest told me so as I was paying my $15 for a boogi board rental. The kid that helped me stated his was free as well as he took my $15. Also, be ready to drive fairly long distances to get anywhere. Not much around the resort (i.e. miniature golf, shopping, etc.)
Nicest Resort on Singer Island, but...
We stayed at Marriott's Ocean Pointe for five nights during the last week of February. Ocean Pointe is comprised of four seven storey buildings (with a fifth tower under construction) directly on a nice wide stretch of beach at the southern end of Singer Island. The property (a Marriott Vacation Club time share) is well kept with a lush, tropical pool area. Our two bedroom unit (one bedroom plus adjacent studio) was spacious and nicely furnished with a fully equipped kitchen (including a washer/dryer.)
Our only, and significant, complaint was that our "ocean view" room had none. We were informed by the (polite) registration staff that only Marriott Vacation Club time share "owners" are assigned ocean view units and that non-members get the "left overs", which are relagated to the lower floors. And while that seems a reasonable hierarchy, we only wish this was stated at the time of booking. (After our objections we have noted that their website now has the added stipulation: "non-view lower floor". )
Ocean Pointe is still by far the nicest resort on Singer Island, just as long as you don't require a view of the Atlantic from your room.
Be careful here...
stayed here several times in the last year - great rooms, adult only whirlpool, nice grounds. BUT unless you are a timeshare customer you get a lower floor room, very late checkin (after 3 - enforced) and early checkout (11). we requested higher floors etc. months in advance and were assigned a first floor room right over the children's play area. many complaints about the beach staff from us and others the week we stayed. they double sold the cabanas once you left - (we returned and were told that once we left they could sell it again... and this was after we tipped the guy $10!) Overall - it was nice but it felt like we had to fight every day for a cabana (even though we paid for the week) and we felt we were treated poorly because we were not timeshare people.
Can't wait to go back!
We've been to Ocean Pointe twice and can't wait to return--plan to make it an annual tradition, with or without the kids. Even with them, my husband and I thought we were honeymooning--got spoiled rotten, and left the kids with the activities directors and never worried about them because the resort is very secure. The grounds are gorgeous, the entertainment and activities are always interesting, the villas are so homey, and the areas is fantastic. We loved the free marine museum nearby, the nature trails, the great restaurants, the spectacular beach, the incredible sunrises and sunsets we enjoyed from our balcony.
Couldn't ask for a more relaxing and worry-free getaway, and no one has friendlier staff; several employees have become friends we look forward to seeing again.
Most relaxing vacation with kids
Our stay at the Ocean Pointe was probably the most relaxing vacation we have ever taken with kids. We stayed in a 2 bedroom 2 bath with full kitchen--it was great. They do not have room service but they have a small marketplace next to the pool that you can get sandwiches and pre made salads, snacks, drinks and other necessities. We ordered carry out and ate out other nights. The rooms were gorgeous and practical, our room had a mud room with a washer and dryer as you entered the condo-style room. A TV in each bedroom and the living room. For adults there was a huge/ beautiful master suite with a jacuzzi. The hotel has planned activities for the kids (ie: hair brading, root-beer float making, star fish painting) for a very nominal price. We enjoyed hanging out at the beach and swimming in the beautiful pools with the kids, listening to live regaee music. All you would need to pack is a swimsuit and shorts for this place!!
Wonderful beach vacation
We vacationed here the week of Christmas 2003 and had a wonderful time.
Everything is arranged for you to have a really nice beach vacation - oceanfront, pool bar, beach rentals, sea shells, etc. Take a good novel and relax or do as many activities (parasailing, fishing, etc.) as you wish. I would return in a minute.
Awesome resort!
My husband and I stayed at Ocean Pointe in July 2003. The resort was beautiful and the grounds were immaculate and well kept. The buildings are designed so that no matter if your room is in the front of the hotel (by the beach) or near the back, everyone has an ocean view.
Although we do not have children, there were many supervised activities at all times to keep little ones busy. There are 3 pools and the one we preferred (the least crowded one) had adult swim 2 times a day, which the resort was very firm about. The on-site bar/restaurant had a limited menu but served great lunch food. The guest rooms were gorgeous! Our room was larger than our first apartment. We had a full kitchen, jacuzzi bathtub with separate shower, washer and dryer and a patio that had a wonderful view of the Atlantic! We were a little nervous that we would find a bug or two in our room, since it was summertime in Florida but we never found any, not even one! The kitchen was well-stocked with utensils, pots and pans, even dishwashing detergent and paper towels.
The only thing that was less than perfect was the fact that the resort was in the process of constructing a new building. There was some noise due to the construction, but it was no big deal.
Mu husband and I both loved this resort and thought it was just about as good as our all-inclusive honeymoon (without the all-inclusive part!). We would definitely go back.
Relaxing time
Came here for girl's weekend away. Clean resort with friendly staff. We noticed immediately that this resort would be great for families. Lots of things for the kids to do. But there is an adults only pool. Not a place to come if you are looking for night life but very nice if you just want to get away and enjoy the pool and beach. The pictures of the resort are pretty much what you get. We stayed in a 1 bedroom with mini kitchenette. Plenty big enough for 2. We didn't rent a car but found several resturants within walking distance. Also you can take the water taxi to "city place" where there are upclass shops and movie theater.
(catch the water taxi at SailFish Marina for $18 with tour of the mansions along the inlet) The only food on site is a pool grill and market place. No sit down full menu resturant on site. We would absolutely stay here again. Taxi from Palm Beach airport was $30 but I think you can take the Super Shuttle for $11 a person.

OAKLAND Warriors small forward Dorell Wright finds himselfhaving that classic basketball players problem.Hes in a shooting slump and needs playing time to come outof it. But because hes in a shooting slump, hes not getting much playingtime.So what to do?
With the type of style I play, being a rhythm shooter,being a spot-up shooter, Ive got to make the most of my opportunities, Wrightsaid after Thursdays practice. Which is crazy to say now after the season Ihad last year. But it is what it is and Ive got to do whatever Ive got todo.The thing Wright needs to do most of all is to start makingshots. He had a breakout season in 2010-11, knocking down 194 3-point shots more than he had made in his entire career up to that point.He averaged 16.4 points per game in Keith Smarts uptempooffense. But under coach Mark Jackson, the team isnt running as much andWright isnt getting the shots he once did. Let alone the playingtime.Wright shot 37.6 percent from beyond the arc last season,but this season hes down to 34.5 percent. His overall field goal percentagehas gone from 42.3 percent last year to 39.7 percent this year.Not surprisingly his minutes and attempts are way down thisyear.Everything is not going to fall, Wright said. Only thingI can do is continue to work on my shot when we have time off and before thegame. I shoot a lot of jumpers. Its not like I dont shoot.Last year it was a little easier to hide because I wasgetting a lot more shots. I was shooting a lot more 3s. When youre notshooting as many times, you can really notice it. Now, its like Ive got tomake this shot to stay out here.Wrights playing time has taken a hit this season, butJackson didnt buy into the theory that Wright has a shorter leash than anyoneelse on the team.When youre a team thats underachieving, everybody shouldbe on a (short) rope, Jackson said. And understand that its not going tocontinue the way it is.Wright is currently in the middle of a nine-game shootingslump. Hes made just 17-of-64 shots from the field over that time (26.5percent) and is only 10-of-40 from 3-point range during that span.After Wednesdays loss to the Memphis Grizzlies, Wright wasshort with reporters and obviously frustrated by his season-low 10 minutes inthe game. He made it clear Jackson wasnt the subject of hisdisappointment.STEINMETZ: Frustration beginning to show with Warriors
I was (mad) because I felt good and I was ready to play andit didnt go the way I wanted it to go, Wright said. Im never going to bemad at anybody. Its about me. Its a team sport and Ive got to do my job.

Clinical UM Guideline
|Basic Skills Training/Social Skills Training
|Guideline #:
|Current Effective Date:
|Last Review Date:
This document addresses basic skills training (BST) (also called social skills training). The medical necessity criteria outlined in this guideline for BST includes two categories: Severity of Illness and Continued Stay. Severity of Illness criteria includes descriptions of the member's condition and circumstances. For continued authorization of the requested service, Continued Stay criteria must be met along with Severity of Illness criteria.
BST is a rehabilitative service whose goal is to reduce cognitive and behavioral impairment and restore recipients to their highest level of functioning. BST uses positive reinforcement, modeling, operant conditioning, and other training techniques and aligns these techniques to the cognitive and behavioral impairments of a mental health condition. The member's mental health condition requires training in functional skills, appropriate behaviors, activities of daily living, use of community resources, assistance with medication management, and monitoring of health, nutrition, and physical health. BST is not companion care.
Note: Please see the following related document(s) for additional information:
|Clinical Indications
Medically Necessary:
Severity of Illness (SI)
Basic skills training (BST) is considered medically necessary when All of the following are present:
Continued Stay Criteria (CS)
Continued authorization of basic skills training (BST) is considered medically necessary when ALL of 1-5 and 6 or 7 are present:
Not Medically Necessary:
BST is considered not medically necessary when the above criteria are not met.
The following codes for treatments and procedures applicable to this guideline are included below for informational purposes. Inclusion or exclusion of a procedure, diagnosis or device code(s) does not constitute or imply member coverage or provider reimbursement policy. Please refer to the member's contract benefits in effect at the time of service to determine coverage or non-coverage of these services as it applies to an individual member.
Note: The following list of procedure codes are examples only and may not represent all codes being used for basic or social skills training. Please contact the member's plan for applicable coding conventions as these may vary.
|Skills training and development, per 15 minutes
|ICD-10 Diagnosis
|[For dates of service on or after 10/01/2015]
|For the following diagnoses codes, including but not limited to:
|Mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders
|ICD-9 Diagnosis
|[For dates of service prior to 10/01/2015]
|For the following diagnoses, including but not limited to:
|Mental, behavioral and neurodevelopmental disorders
|Discussion/General Information
Basic Skills Training (BST) services (also referred to as social skills training services) are psychiatric rehabilitation interventions designed to assist persons to reduce cognitive and behavioral impairment, gain new basic life and social skills, and to achieve their highest possible level of adaptive functioning in their community and social environment (for example, family, education, employment).
BST should not be primarily used for the avoidance of incarceration of the member or to satisfy a programmatic length of stay (refers to a predetermine number of days or visits for a program's length instead of an individualized determination of how long a member needs to be in that program). There should be a reasonable expectation that the member's illness, condition, or level of functioning will be stabilized, improved, or maintained through treatment known to be effective for the member's illness. The population served by BST may be burdened with severe and persistent mental illness.
BST/social skills training groups have been described as an aspect of Adaptive Behavioral Treatment (ABT) provided for individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorders (ASD's). Social skills training based on ABT principles uses a different approach, employing behavior modification, than the BST/social skills training described in this guideline.
Standard components of BST include:
Standard outcomes of BST include:
Use of Basic Skills Training/Social Skills Training in based on certain service expectations. A comprehensive functional assessment should be completed that identifies and documents the need for BST. Treatment goals should target resolution of cognitive and behavioral impairments consistent with the DSM-5/ICD diagnoses listed, through BST. Discharge plans should be individualized and include a projected discharge date. Training on medication management should be provided when medications are prescribed, and if not, there should be documentation of the reason and education addressing the lack of medication provided. Training addressing substance use/dependence should be provided when a diagnosis of substance use disorder is present or there is a risk for the development of a substance use disorder. Training for monitoring and communicating physical health should be provided and documented. Communication with the primary care provider or equivalent should be present. Coordination of care with other clinicians providing care to the member or family members, including psychiatrist/therapist should be documented. Family participation in treatment should be documented unless contraindicated. If the family should not participate in BST, the record should provide an explanation. Community/natural supports and resources should be identified and utilized. Skills training should include the development of and communication with community/natural supports, including school/work, self-help or diagnosis specific support groups, spiritual/religious, and community recreational activities. Treatment should not duplicate other services being provided for the same reasons/diagnoses. Services should be provided at the frequency and intensity needs of the member in accordance with benefit limits.
Basic Skills Training: Psychiatric rehabilitation interventions designed to assist persons to reduce cognitive and behavioral impairment, gain new basic life and social skills, and to achieve their highest possible level of adaptive functioning in their community and social environment (such as, family, education, employment). Also referred to as social skills training.
Outpatient Treatment: A level of care in which a mental health professional licensed to practice independently provides care to individuals in an outpatient setting, whether to the member individually, in family therapy, or in a group modality.
Severe and Persistent Mental Illness: A mental illness resulting in functional impairment which substantially interferes with or limits one or more major life activities (for example, maintaining interpersonal relationships, activities of daily living, self-care, employment, recreation) that have occurred within the last year.

State of Grace
- Directed by Phil Joanou
===Story=== Overshadowed by ''GoodFellas'' when it was released in 1990, ''State of Grace'' gradually emerged as one of the best New York gangster films of its decade. It was also the first to feature the Irish American mob known as the Westies. Here, their territory west of Times Square is being gentrified by an unwelcome infusion of yuppie cash, squeezing them into a reluctant alliance with Mafia kingpins. Frankie (Ed Harris) is the boss; little brother Jackie (Gary Oldman) is his volatile muscle; their friend Terry (Sean Penn) has returned from an extended absence, harboring a dangerous secret while rekindling his love for Frankie and Jackie's sister Kathleen (Robin Wright, Penn's future wife). Giving one of his scariest, most violent performances, Oldman offers stark, brutal contrast to Harris's pent-up fury, while Penn breathes life into his character's standard-issue dilemma. A former protégé of Steven Spielberg's, director Phil Joanou handles this gritty potboiler with confident, unobtrusive style, ramping up the tension of divided loyalties, even as the plot grows increasingly familiar.
