|The Impact of a Telephone-based Support Intervention on the Long-term Well-being of Women Undergoing Termination of Pregnancy for Fetal Anomaly
|Brief Summary
|This study focuses on women undergoing termination of pregnancy for fetal anomalies (TOPFA). Psychological consequences of such terminations may be even greater than those associated with spontaneous losses of pregnancy because of shame and guilt which can result in social isolation. Currently, there is little support for women after they have left hospital. In this study, 50 TOPFA women will be randomly assigned to an intervention group and 50 to a control group. By completing four questionnaires at the time of induction of labour, total sample will be assessed for depression, stress and "hardiness"; they will be reassessed at 3, 6, and 12 months. Total sample will be interviewed by phone at 6 and 12 months. We hope to determine whether a telephone-based intervention (a biweekly supportive call) can decrease the emotional distress experienced by women undergoing termination of pregnancy.
|Detailed Description
|We hypothesize that: 1)women in the intervention group will show lower rates of depression and stress and a significant increase in hardiness over time at 6 and 12 months post-termination compared with the control group; 2) women who score low on hardiness initially will experience more psychological distress at 6 and 12 months than subjects who score higher initially, irrespective of group; 3) women who have anxious/avoidant attachment styles will not show an improvement in psychological distress over time, irrespective of group.

In the wake of the San Francisco 49ers 34-31 loss to the Baltimore Ravens in Super Bowl XLVII, sights have already been set on the franchise returning next season.
Given the 49ers' rise to success the past two seasons, along with a solid core of talented players, San Francisco looks to be in great shape heading forward. The defense should remain mostly intact. With the exception of Frank Gore and a possibly departing Randy Moss, the offense is young and talented.
Yet there are signs of weakness within the 49ers organization and numerous areas that are in need of improvement.
There is the statement, "If you are not getting better, you are getting worse." In many ways, San Francisco needs to abide by the phrase and especially apply it to the prospects of returning to the Super Bowl next season.
Here are ten 49ers who must show improvement in 2013.

Wolves bounce back
The Coupeville girls were possibly one bad quarter away from having an upset and bragging rights for the lone first place position in the Northwest 1A.
A second quarter let-down Friday night against Archbishop Murphy, the number three ranked girls 1A team in the state, was enough to bury the Wolves 56-36. Coupeville was outscored in the quarter 18-3, resulting in a 17 point deficit at halftime.
We really let down in the second quarter, head coach Greg Oldham said. They (Archbishop Murphy) did a great job of allowing one shot each trip down the court.
Senior Erica Lamb stepped up having her most offensively productive night of the season. Lamb knocked down nearly everything she put up, hitting 7 of 8 shots, scoring 15 points for the Wolves.
Despite the loss Oldham is excited about what he saw.
Theyve been ranked third in the state since the first week, he said. To be able to play that well with a legitimate number three says a lot about our team.
Coupeville quickly bounced back the following night in a home contest against Bush. The Wolves progressively pulled away each quarter by pressing the Blazers, forcing them into 30 turnovers.
The night was highlighted by an Erica Lamb behind the back pass to Brianne King on a two-on-one fast break. King laid the shot in to complete the spectacular play.
Erica and Brianne have been working on that since Christmas time, Oldham said. It was the perfect pass in that situation.
On the next trip down the court King connected on a three-point shot and was fouled. She went on to hit the free throw and complete the rare four-point play.
King ended the night with a game high 24 points, followed by senior Amy Mouw with nine. Carly Guillory and Erica Lamb both had six points apiece.
Up next for Coupeville is a league game at home at 4 p.m., Friday, Jan. 24 against Friday Harbor.
wolf Boys lose one, win one
With the Coupeville boys 67-42 loss to Archbishop Murphy on Friday, there is now a log-jam for second place in the Northwest 1A boys division.
With the loss, Coupeville is now tied with Archbishop Murphy and Orcas Island for the second and final spot open for a district berth.
Similar to the girls, the boys struggled in the second quarter of their game, only scoring four points. The Wildcats countered with 19, giving them a 19-point, 33-14 advantage at the half.
It was real cold in the gym in that second quarter, head coach Randy King said. They extended their zone pretty aggressively and we just had a hard time getting things to fall.
Looking to get back on a positive note, the Wolves pounced on Bush the following night, beating them 68-52.
After falling behind early, Coupeville exploded for 23 points in the second quarter, led by senior Brad Sherman. Sherman had 12 points for the quarter and ended the game with 30 total. He connected on 4 of 8 three-point shots for the night, most of which came in the second quarter.
That was a fun shooting performance to see, King said.
Brian Fakkema also had an impressive game, coming back to score 16 points after only putting in one against Archbishop Murphy the night before.
Coupeville plays at 5:45 p.m., Jan. 24 at home against Friday Harbor. The game kicks off the second half of league play for the Wolves, who narrowly beat Friday Harbor three weeks ago, 63-58.
Its going to be a fun second half, King said. We think we can be right in the mix.

An honest mechanic is a good mechanic.this location is FAR from honest!!! The guy running our payment at monroe muffler claimed to be helping us out and gave us his 'employee discount' and he could get in trouble for not charging us the 75-80%mark up that corporate requests. (charged us $599 for the part) After we paid we established They ordered our part from the CarQuest warehouse. Car quest charges 327 and some change after taxes so we'll say $328. Idk about you but i can do math and an 80% mark up on $328 comes out to be $590 and some change. All in all we paid @$753 for the service (catalytic converter. Also after we saw that carquest delivered the part we asked the gentleman what the brand of the part was he informed us that he didn't know - if he didn't know what brand of part that he's putting onto our vehicle then how did he know the brand to charge us the outrageous price?). like I said, paying before hand BAD mistake on our part. I understand it's a business and they need to make their money as well. But that doesn't require lying to your customers. Monro Muffler will NOT be receiving any more business from my household and I will also let others know of the dishonest pricing. I've worked for autoparts stores before and know that companies such as yours get a commercial discount on parts so the part was less then our out the door price we received straight from carquest.

MOBILE, Alabama -- (Welcome to Extra Points, a place where four times a week - Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Saturday, perhaps other days when a subject or the mood moves me - I'll share some thoughts with you on Mobile-area sports. Sometimes, we'll step outside the region as well. Come hang out with me. Let's chat.)
STILL THE SAME: This year, the LPGA tournament in Mobile is named the Airbus LPGA Classic presented by JTBC. This marks the first year Airbus, which is grabbing a significant spot in Mobile's business landscape, is serving as the tournament's title sponsor.
But the tournament is the same. That's not a slam at Airbus. In fact, in this case, it's a compliment. While the Mobile stop on the LPGA Tour has had a variety of names and sponsors in its history, there has been a common thread: competition. That is expected to continue when the Airbus LPGA Classic gets under way next week.
It is the result of a combination of factors. The venue -- Magnolia Grove's Crossings Course -- offers a competitive course that tests the players' skills. The design was altered in recent years, making the Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail layout more friendly to the average player, but it remains a solid test of golf.
The field has always been solid, too. In the beginning, the Mobile tournament was an end-of-the-season tournament of champions open only to players who had won a LPGA event within the previous three seasons. Now that it is a full-field event of 144 players, the talent level remains strong.
And there's the organization of the tournament and the many events associated with the main attraction. The tournament and the course make it a fan-friendly event. Autographs are usually easily attainable for those who seek them and there are several spots around the course that offer fans an up close and personal view of the players and the play on the course. A junior clinic, the Wednesday pro-am and Tuesday night pro-am pairings party have become as popular as the tournament itself.
Next week, the LPGA returns to Mobile. The name of the tournament may be different, but most everything else remains the same, which in this case is a good thing.
BEST BET: Tennis anyone? Well, there's plenty to be had in Mobile this week. The 63rd annual NAIA Men's National Championship and the 34th annual Women's National Championship will both be played at Copeland-Cox Tennis Center this week, starting today. The championships will be decided on Saturday.
As host team, the University of Mobile will have a team in both tournaments. The men's team plays today at 1:30 p.m. vs. Concordia, Calif., while the women's team plays at 8:30 a.m. today against Northwood, Fla. The only other school from the state represented in the tournament is Auburn-Montgomery, which is seeded No. 2 in the men's tournament and No. 4 in the women's tournament. The Warhawk men play at 1 p.m. Wednesday and the women play at 9 a.m. Wednesday.
The Spring Hill College softball team won its opening-round game of the NAIA national championship regional in Oklahoma City on Monday. Today at noon they play the host team in the double elimination, four-team regional.
NOW READ THIS: The condition of John Redman, seriously injured in a one-car accident on April 28 when he and his fiancee, Brittany Huber, were driving home to Mobile for their wedding. Huber was killed in the accident and Redman suffered head trauma and several broken bones. Reportedly, he demonstrated some positive signs recently as doctors continue to treat the 23-year-old former Spanish Fort High School and Spring Hill College athlete.
The field is close to being set for next week's Airbus LPGA Classic at Magnolia Grove. The field already includes seven of the top 10 ranked players in the world, a list that includes No. 1 Inbee Park, No. 2 Stacy Lewis, No. 4 Suzann Pettersen and No. 5 Karrie Webb.

Remember this image? It was our cover last week, the work of Barry Stock , and it cleverly (if we may so flatter ourselves) riffs on the iconic Barack Obama HOPE poster by Shepherd Fairey . Fairey's work, which started popping up all over the country (appearing both in the window of my neighbor and the office of Willamette Week 's publisher) in January, is easily the most iconic image of the 2008 campaign, and Stock isn't the only artist to refer to it for inspiration—far from it. You can find an enormous variety of imitations and parodies here , though I'm sure that list is far from complete. The latest, most inspiring addition is the cover of this week's Mad Magazine .
Another Fairey-inspired anti-Palin campaign hit the streets of Portland this weekend. I spotted these large-scale, wheat-pasted posters from the anonymous artists at A Frightening Prospect at the bus stop outside Laurelhurst Theater at Northeast 28th Avenue and East Burnside Street. By the time I got to the scene this morning, someone—presumably a Palin supporter waiting for the bus, given the halfhearted removal job—had already countervandalized the posters. Please pardon the crappy cell-phone photo.

The month of May was busy for The Kiwanis Club of Greater Covington. The club held great events for the community including their Inaugural Pancake Breakfast and Car Show. They also held a Covington Community Prayer Breakfast.
"Since I became president this year, I shared my vision with the Kiwanis members as well as a budget to reach so that all of our attempts to impact our community were achieved," said Dan Johnson, President, Kiwanis Club of Greater Covington. "The first vision was to set the tone for the year and hopefully for years to come and it goes as follows: 'Every great thing that happens in Covington has a Kiwanian attached to it.'"
The Pancake Breakfast was held on Saturday, May 10, and since it was held on Mother's Day Weekend, it honored mothers who attended with a flower and a Mother's Day Card decorating table for kids to make a gift for their mothers.
Kids were also able to take a picture with their mom. Kiwanis Terrific Kids were honored with free breakfast and applause. This was the Kiwanis Club of Greater Covington's First Annual Pancake Breakfast fundraiser. All proceeds went to the local Boy Scouts of America and the Summer Camp Program of the YMCA.
"This was our first time and we had a great turnout. ... We did not make the profit we were expecting, but we now know what the project looks like and how to effectively organize for next year," said Bob Reese. "We will have this event again."
The Kiwanis Club also held their Inaugural Open Car & Truck Show on Saturday, May 24 at Hood Northlake Chevrolet. Attendees were treated to music, cash/door prizes, and a 50/50 drawing. Proceeds for this event also went to benefit the West St. Tammany YMCA and Boy Scouts.
"The car show was successful. Nice turnout and great weather. It was a profitable event and we will surely do this again. We received lots of compliments on how it was run. Kiwanis also sold great hamburgers, delicious hot dogs and outstanding homemade jambalaya made by Jackie Hope's Husband, Bill," said Reese.
The Kiwanis Club held their Covington Community Prayer Breakfast on Friday, May 30 at St. Paul's Briggs Assembly Center at the corner of Jefferson Ave. and 12th St. Special guests also attended the event including the Covington Mayor Mike Cooper, St. Tammany Parish President Pat Brister, Superintendent of St. Tammany School Board Trey Folse, President and CEO of St. Tammany West Chamber of Commerce Lacey Toledano, Kiwanis President Dan Johnson and more. The featured speaker for the breakfast was Troy Duhon, owner of Premier Automotive and founder of HOPE the Premier Way. This year the Kiwanis Club of Greater Covington and Life Resources hosted the breakfast.
"Prayer breakfast was not a fundraiser, but sponsored by Kiwanis of Greater Covington to let the public know some of the great things that we do for the community," said Reese. "Any profit that we made was donated to the Boys and Girls Club of Covington."
"Our members are strictly volunteers and are dedicated to projects that improve the self-esteem and character development for children right in the community where we live," said Johnson. "Our focus this year and beyond is to attract a deeper membership base with hearts of service that carry leadership giftedness and people of influence."
Two of Kiwanis's signature programs are Terrific Kid and B.U.G.S., which stands for Bringing UP Grades.
"This allows us to reward the student for doing something great as opposed to expecting greatness which allows us to say nothing when they meet our expectation or chastising them for not meeting expectations. That does nothing to build self-esteem or character development. In fact, it does the opposite," said Johnson.
There are Kiwanis Clubs in all grade levels. In the elementary grade level, it is called K Kids is the elementary grade level Kiwanis Club; the Builders Club is the Middle School club, KEY (Kiwanis Educates Youth) Club is at the High School level and College students have Circle K. As adults, these children grow to become Kiwanis Club members and the Kiwanis Club sponsors all the school level clubs.
"The school-level Kiwanis clubs have officers, board members and know organizational structure, as well as an awareness of community service. They begin to understand community and what that means to them. Community could be family, neighborhood, school grounds or town. They learn how to eventually serve in each of those levels as they grow," said Johnson.
"We'd love to have new members join us in our community efforts," said Dorothy Garcia, District Executive/Bogue Tuchenna District and Istrouma Area Council/Boy Scouts of America. "We meet every Tuesday morning at 7:30 at the Fellowship Hall at the Covington Presbyterian Church in downtown Covington, and as someone who actually lives in Abita; we would truly welcome one and all … not just the good folks who live in Covington!"

SUMMIT TWP., MI – Jackson Community College's recently adopted budget contains several new initiatives that officials say will better meet existing students' needs and possibly attract new students to its campuses.
The programs, which are part of the $48.7 million budget adopted by the college's trustees Monday, deal with career counseling, international students, minority students and the needs of manufacturers both locally and throughout the state.
"We want to welcome new students to campus and retain the ones we have by helping them feel welcomed and supported," said Cindy Allen, JCC spokeswoman.
One of the initiatives is a new career placement office. The office, available to past and present students, will help with career coaching and determining what students' best options are after their time at JCC is finished.
"It's one thing to get through college and get a degree, but then what?" Allen said. "We hope this office will give students a clear-cut path on their next step."
The office will also provide local employers with one point of contact for finding people who fit their workforce needs, Allen said.
Another component of this office will be an alumni relations person provided by the Jackson Community College Foundation to better foster relationships with JCC alumni, said Jason Valente, the foundation's executive director.
The estimated cost of this initiative is about $125,000, Allen said.
Another initiative is a new International Student Institute that will be located in Walker Hall. The program, which Allen estimated will cost $60,000 to $65,000, will have a director who will help the college with a growing demand from other countries looking to educate their workforce.
This initiative is starting with 25 students set to arrive from Brazil in August, Allen said.
As a result of the success of the college's Men of Merit program, which helps black male students complete college, JCC is also dedicating space in Walker Hall to a Multicultural Center. The estimated cost is $30,000 to $45,000.
"It's designed to be a support center," Allen said. "It will be a place to hang out and get tutoring and just gather."
New academic programs in advance manufacturing areas that include computer numerical control (CNC), robotics and automation, computer aided design and prototyping and more are also being added to the curriculum as a response to needs of area employers, Allen said.

JACKSON, MI –Jackson resident Al Daly has donated blood every 56 days for more than 60 years — as often as the American Red Cross allows.
After donating more than 300 pints of blood, Daly's life may have been saved because of his willingness to help others.
"The last three times Al came in to donate blood he was turned away because of low iron. He would always say, 'I'll go home and eat more spinach and be back tomorrow,'" said Sheila Drewry, donor recruitment representative for the Red Cross. "But after the third time, and after more than 300 straight visits without any problems, we knew something was up."
Daly, 84, was diagnosed with bladder cancer last fall. He had surgery earlier this month and returned home Jan. 24 after having his bladder and some of his intestinal track removed.
"First they tried to scrape the cancer out," Daly said. "After three tries and no luck, we did a bone scan, found that there wasn't any cancer in my bones, and went to 'Plan B.' "
Daly said he will return to the hospital in the near future to make sure he is cancer-free. In the meantime, he works on getting healthy so had can donate blood and reach his lifetime goal of 40 gallons.
"I've donated 38 gallons and five pints, I've donated 309 pints of blood" he said. "I'm 11 visits short of my goal, and I would absolutely donate again if I get healthy enough."
On Friday, Jan. 25, the day after Daly returned from the hospital, Jackson residents Merle and Sally Shock organized a benefit spaghetti dinner in his name, hosted by the Jackson Moose Lodge.
"We raised $2,800 for Al," Merle Shock said. "All the medical bills are beginning to pile up for Al so we wanted to help him out. He's a great person, and he's always looking to help others so we thought we'd return the favor."
Shock said area businesses "came out of the woodwork" to donate food and supplies for the benefit dinner.
"He's given so much to the community, so the community is giving back," Shock said.
Drewry said the American Red Cross is organizing a blood drive in honor of Daly, which will be March 28. The location is yet to be determined.
"We're still trying to figure out where it's going to be held because so many organizations want to host it," she said. "He's touched a lot of lives. He's a real advocate for good."

Trying to shed those extra pounds before Easter?
Many in Hudson County are turning to Zumba, a combination dance and exercise class that's offered at many area churches, clubs, fitness studios and community centers.
The Bayonne Jewish Community Center has offered a class for several years.
"The music is very uplifting," said Mike Flood, physical education director of the JCC. "Many people come to Zumba and may have never heard Latin music. But the beat and the choreography make it easy to follow, so it creates a kind of party atmosphere."
Zumba classes are held at the center, located at 1050 Kennedy Blvd., at different times to cater to people's many different schedules.
The classes are a great way for people to learn dance moves, sweat and lose weight, according to Lauren Grodkiewicz, Zumba fitness instructor at the JCC, for the past four years.
"Zumba is basically dancing but losing weight while you do it," she said. "It's a lot of fun and you just feel the beat of the music."
"It's a great cardio workout because you're doing it almost nonstop for an hour," said Grodkiewicz. "You're using your thighs, hamstrings and oblique abdominals, but you're not thinking about working out you're just having fun. And the key to regular exercise is if it feels good, you'll keep doing it."
The sessions start off with a warm up then go into the high-energy workout with different types of music ranging from hip-hop to old-school classics, and those who participate in the classes have nothing but positive things to say.
"It's like you're not even exercising," said Elizabeth Ramos, a Bayonne resident. "I have been taking Zumba for two years because I just love to dance, and when you come out of here, you really feel great!"
Anyone can do it. "No one is perfect," Grodkiewicz said, "and you don't have to be perfect in the class. Just come, try it out and have fun. That's all we want people to get out of it."
Zumba classes are held Tuesday and Thursday evenings from 7 to 8 p.m. and Sundays, from 11 a.m. to noon.

I don't know why but my S4 i9505 sound gets distorted in high volume and tried different head phones, I don't know if this is a common problem with everyone
this does not make it any easy, you wait all this time for the S4 and they come up with two versions, this is so confusing, I spent the last 2 months confused thanks very much Samsung.

FYI, they are having JB
I9500 is available in my country and I was thinking about buying it. But now I'm really disappointed. They made octa core chipset to be more power efficient, not to consume more energy... And they failed...
I9505 will be a better choice.

You can like forget all this stress/debate/argument/whatsoever if you can spend a little bit more money and purchase the Korean Version S4 (SHV-E300) which is already available in my country(PH) for P29,500 = roughly $710..
Its got:
32GB internal memory

and extra battery.
its an 8-core variant so who cares about running out of battery a little bit faster than i9505 if you got a spare in your pocket ayt?
question at hand is, is this version already available in your country?
Peace out people ^_^
Your audio measurement misses the bug in 9505: at low impedance loads it gives a crackled sound at higher volumes.
Please retest with 10-15ohm load.
I believe Samsung down played the I9500 variant due to the production problems they were facing. If you remember well, the Cortex-A15 was to be clocked at 1.8Ghz. However, this was down clocked to 1.6Ghz to ensure the performance difference is minimal between the 2 variants. Anyway, I believe this will change down the line with updates to the 2 variants.
Jr, 28 May 2013Hi guys! i9500 has slight battery and heat problems but has slight better performance than I95... moreExynos 5 Octa (ARM big.Little) was meant 4 boosting battery life. That's supposed 2 be it's main strength over other architectures. If it fails so horribly in it's main aim, then ARM needs to go back to the drawing board. You can always crank up the power/performance, but, it's all about power efficiency. Maybe the Android software isn't yet optimized for handling the big.Little architecture, but, ARM and Samsung need 2 put their act together as the main selling point of this whole architecture is the battery life gains along with snappier performance.
Hi guys! i9500 has slight battery and heat problems but has slight better performance than I9505. So I9505 is cooler, better battery performance, however it's slightly low on benchmarks (which I don't really care it depends on how you use it on the real world) so. which one do you have? or will you buy? I'm thinking of buying the i9500 since LTE is still on works here in the PH, so I think the i9505 is not good for me. I'm also thinking if... what if you're just doing small tasks, what would be better? still i9505 or i9500 with what they say that has powersaving Quad A7 cores? sorry or my bad english thanks :)

the difference between talk time is 4hurs + 0.5 hr of browsing +... moreCommon sense dude, they put a7 quad in gt-i9500 to have a better battery life in standby mode.
The rest hours in endurance test refers to standby or light task like texting and etc.
Definitely 1.9ghz consumes more power in standby mode than the a7 quad.
If you have the i9500 variant, you may tell everyone that you have a phone with eight cores and people will get wowed by it depending on how you deliver your spiel. Some tech geeks won't even buy it coz I for one wouldn't mind a little difference in benchmarks because the real life performance is what matters. I would rather have the i9505 as the battery lasts longer and I'm gonna be worry free too as it doesn't have any problem with LTE band compatibility here in the Philippines. In our country we have both variants but the ones powered by S600 are more popular. The Octa name is just all gimmick as only one pair of quad core will be working at a time depending on the task you're gong to throw at it. If all eight cores will work at the same time in every task then that won't be a gimmick but in order to do that the manufacturer should be able to make a big battery to compensate on the power. If the OEM wants a thin device then it will be possible put it in a tablet as tabs can accompany big batteries without sacrificing the thickness of the device just like the Xperia Tablet Z which is even thinner than the iPhone 5. Now if the OEM wants it to be at least in a 5 inch category then the phone is likely gonna end up thick like the Samsung Galaxy camera. Number of cores I believe isn't the answer for the phones to be lag free but, it is in the optimization of the software and if OEMs will be ready to sacrifice their bloated UIs in exchange of a stock android then it will be the best answer to the lag and buggy problems of their flagship devices. Besides they are now starting to do it nowadays right? I was able to read it somewhere that either HTC or Sammy will make a One with stock android UI or an S4 with a stock UI. It was somewhere here at GSM Arena so even if a device will only be powered by a dual core chip, there will still be a great chance it will run smoothly on Android. Stock UI for the win!

Phil Steele, who produces a preseason college football every season, has selected his preseason All-Sun Belt Conference team and it includes eight players from South Alabama and five players (for six positions) from Troy.
South Alabama, which is eligible to win the Sun Belt crown this season for the first time ever, placed four players on Steele's first team, with two Troy players in three first-team spots. The Jaguars' first-team picks are offensive lineman Melvin Meggs, tight end Wes Saxton, defensive lineman Alex Page and cornerback Tyrell Pearson. The Trojans are represented by wide receiver Eric Thomas and Will Scott, who was picked for both the punter and place-kicker spots on special teams.
South Alabama linebacker Enrique Williams was the only player from the two schools to earn a second-team selections. Troy quarterback Corey Robinson, defensive lineman Antonio Gillespie and linebacker Wayland Coleman-Dancer are third-team picks, as are South Alabama safety Terrell Brifham and punt returner T.J. Glover. Jaguars' running back Demetre Baker was also named to the team but he is no longer on the South Alabama team, having been dismissed for repeated violations of team and university rules.
For the Trojans, Thomas caught 55 passes last year for 667 yards and seven touchdowns. Scott led the team in scoring with 91 points, making 17-of-21 field goal tries and 40-of-42 point-after kicks. He averaged 41.0 yards per punt and his longest field goal was a 52-yarder. Robinson passed for 3,121 yards and 12 touchdowns and averaged 283.7 passing yards a game while connecting on 66.1 percent of his throws. Coleman-Dancer played sparingly last season and Gillespie has rejoined the team after not playing a year ago.
South Alabama's Meggs is a mainstay on the offensive line and brings experience and talent to the group up front. Saxton, a junior college transfer last year, caught 26 passes for 336 yards and one touchdown and improved his play as a blocker. Page was the Jags' fifth-leading tackler with 64 stops, including 11.5 tackles for a loss and six sacks. He also had five quarterback hurries.
Pearson had four interceptions and 40 tackles a year ago. He also had three tackles for a loss, 11 pass breakups and one forced fumble. Williams was the team's second-leading tackler with 105 stops, 50 of which were solo tackles. He also had three quarterback hurries, one forced fumble, one fumble recovery and a pass breakup. Brigham was the Jags' No. 4 tackler with 71 total stops. He added two interceptions, five pass breakups and two fumble recoveries. Glover averaged 8.8 yards on 14 punt returns. He also averaged 23.8 yards per kickoff return.
Steele's annual preseason college football magazine is expected to be on the newsstands in mid-June.

If I Ran Summer Cel
Alec Batchelder of Muskegon
Type of Music: A mix of everything, something for teens, something for adults, but a mix for both. Get some artists that sing music for teens, but do covers of older songs. Next Big Thing you can include too, maybe instead of music one night, do a night of comedy.
Do a different genre a day, Monday Rock, Tuesday Pop, Wednesday Country, Thursday a Comedy Show, Friday Mix of Local Bands, Saturday Battle of the Bands, Sunday best of the oldies and today, etc. do a laser light show, up the sound and video with mega lights, make it fun.
Concert Style: Keep it the same. Put competitions on the smaller stages then the winning band will open the bigger act for that night.
Length: 11 days, if possible include the Forth of July celebration with fireworks and something great.
Other Activities: Keep it the same, but include something that makes people visit the other sections of the city. Perhaps add new activities, wine tasting (beer, too), cheese tasting, bring local stores to donate to these.
Festival Name: I like Muskegon's Summer of Rock, however I feel it may reference that it's just rock music, but maybe change the logo and tagline to something like Muskegon Summer Celebration: It's On! or something just to renew it and give it life.
For 2012: If you can hold a festival in 2012, go ahead if it's not badly managed, but if you can't make something great, hold off a year and advertise something big is coming in Summer of 2013 to Muskegon.
Headline announcing your new event: Muskegon's Summer of Rock - It's On! in Downtown Muskegon.

With a sound firmly rooted in the lush textures of authentic jazz and soul and funk, Peter Rogers and Andy Powell aka Technicolour and Komatic are one of the most exciting new duos operating at the musical end of the drum & bass spectrum. Rogers announced his arrival in d&b with a debut 12" on Ennex Records in 2007, and has subsequently seen music released on Technique Recordings, Worldwide Audio and Critical Music. Powell has built up a formidable reputation within the scene through his hugely successful Bassdrive radio show, and releases on Spearhead Digital, Frequency Factory and Digiphunk.
Hooking up through an affiliation with the Drum & Bass Arena message board, their first tracks together, 'Preacher' and 'Innervision' were immediately snapped up by Worldwide Audio, who duly released them in April of 2009. With wide-ranging DJ support from the likes of Fabio & Grooverider, High Contrast, Logistics and Blame, and more music forthcoming on Technique Recordings and Bassdrive Digital, it's clear this duo are becoming very hot property indeed.
Tune into The Komatic Show coming to you LIVE every Monday, 10am-12pm CST, 4pm-6pm GMT.

Dr. Johnny Matson, psychology professor and distinguished research master at LSU has been named to 'Thomson Reuters' 2014 list of "The World's Most Influential Scientific Minds," a university news release said Friday. Mastson was recognized for his work on development, assessment and treatment of co-morbid conditions in developmental intellectual disabilities.
Thomson Retuters' list includes scientific researchers whose published work is among the most cited papers from 2002 to 2012 – ranking in the top one percent for their subject field and year of publication, the release says.
Matson is currently researching Autism Spectrum Disorder, or ASD, a group of developmental disabilities that can cause significant social, communication and behavioral challenges.
"I have pretty much had a life-long interest in trying to help people with autism spectrum disorders and/or intellectual disabilities," Matson said in a statement "Overall, the focus of what I have tried to do is make researchers and clinicians aware that these co-morbid disorders exist, that they can be systematically and accurately diagnosed and that systematic methods are available to monitor the effects of drug and psychologically based treatments."
Matson, who earned a master's degree in counseling psychology from Eastern Illinois University and a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Indiana State University, has been a faculty member of LSU since 1985.

General themes emerged throughout the assembly, including knowing the importance and difference of doing "what you're supposed to do and what you need to do." Mr. Fowlin successfully accomplished relaying his messages by infusing comedy into the presentation. By infusing comedy, Dr. Fowlin kept the students interested and created a link they could relate to and understand. In addition, Fowlin used personal life experiences and character acting monologues to change the way the audience thought about certain situations and people. By doing this, Fowlin also created an alternate viewpoint for students to see the world and themselves. "Everyone wears a mask," Fowlin stated, "we only let people see who we want them to see, not who we really are."
As he concluded his presentation, Dr. Fowlin asked the students, "What is your legacy?" Fowlin then reminded the students, "You are not guaranteed any moment other than the one you have right now."

The Other Conversation
April 8, 2008 - Wes Burns
Looking around Marshalltown these days a welcome sight has returned. 80's night at Whispers Dance Club? Not hardly. No, the welcome sight I'm referring to is the onset of spring. Snow melting, sun shining and wandering gangs of birds dive bombing me on the highway as if my car was a half-ton Tippi Hedren.
I'm all in all a fan of spring but the once pleasant promise of amiably driving on Highway 30 has transformed into a game of death with these avian kamikazes. With each passing hill, with every dip in the ditch I am forced to contemplate the choices I have made in life as my car is assailed by heretofore unseen birds lying in wait. Like a Biblical plaque they rise from the weeds and grasses to blot out the very light of the sun; or at least cause enough of a distraction by flying at my car that I am too soon greeted with a symphony of car horns reminding me to keep to my own lane.
I know what you're thinking, intrepid reader. How can you enjoy the spring time if you feel your life is being threatened on a regular basis? Due to my numerous debts both public and private my life IS being threatened on a regular basis so I don't really factor that in. I enjoy the springtime for one major reason: the end of talking about winter.
Weeks before the first snowfall winter is on the tongues of us Iowans. Predictions are made, reputations are staked and TV weathermen break out their "Severe Weather Parkas". Then it happens. Snow.
As the first flake drops to the ground a conversation develops that we will all hear until the very end of winter itself. The conversation goes like this.
"It's snowing!" "It sure is!" "It's fun when it first comes down." "You gotta be careful though, nobody knows how to drive when it first snows." "Sure is cold, think we'll get a lot of snow?" "Probably. It really does making driving a hassle."
That's it. That is the conversation between everyone in Iowa for all months that snow is on the ground. Each person would but their own small spin on the matter (perhaps you like sledding, or are in a position where snow prevents you from going to work) but they are all essentially the above conversation.
With our winter gone I hope that we can say goodbye to these things. Goodbye to the birds, goodbye to my fearful screams on the highway, and most importantly goodbye to the old conversation. Hopefully we can all start talking about something new now; just please don't start with "that sure was a rough winter last year". I'm begging you.

|Re: [TowerTalk] G-1000DXA failure with lower mast clamp
|Grant Saviers <email@example.com>
|Tue, 27 Dec 2011 10:31:24 -0800
I noticed that a used G2800 I bought had Helicoil inserts in the base holes. I don't know if this was a retrofit or factory install. In either case, Helicoils substantially increase bolt pull out ratings in aluminum. So I would suggest that part of the fix is to install Helicoils in the good three holes. You can buy a kit of inserts, the special tap, insert inserter, and correct drill at auto stores or on ebay (or MSC or McMaster). Another advantage is that Loctite thread locker will work well on the stainless steel inserts where it is less effective on aluminum in the grades commonly available. The blue, medium strength is what I would use since disassembly will be possible. The Helicoil inserts are available in various lengths, so in may be possible to drill deeper than the stock holes and insert a longer insert. Usually 4 or 5 full thread engagements provide full strength in aluminum so that may work for the broken hole. Given the bottom is a die casting I would try for more threads engaged. I note the stock holes and bolts are at the low end of enough thread engagement on the 3 Yaesu rotators I have, even with a supply of 8mm bolts in various lengths. I would add that the insert drilling and tapping should definitely be done on a drill press or better. If that won't work then the damaged hole fix gets more difficult. Depending on the base material it may be possible for a heliarc welder to rebuild the material and then Helicoil it. Another alternative is high strength metal filled epoxy, there are some pretty good ones. McMaster has several, see http://www.mcmaster.com/#catalog/117/3378/=fjpiwm P/N 7500A4 The epoxy fill plus a Helicoil as deep as possible into the remaining good aluminum might be ok if the other bolts are tight. Or course, first check the cost of a new base. Since the potential damage with another failure is high, this might be the best fix.

At the Rowan Hall Green on Nov. 1, students from Rowan, Temple University, Washington Township High School and several other colleges will be competing to show off their engineering skills.
The students will form teams of nine to duke it out with the other competing schools to see who is the best at building a catapult and launching pumpkins at faux battleships. Winners are the schools which can build the most accurate and powerful catapult.
The contest starts at 2 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 1.

When the cash toll at the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge rose from $9 to $10 last March, many Staten Island drivers thought they had seen it all.
But the sticker shock of the sawbuck pales in comparison to a toll hike as high as -- get this -- $14.
That's how much the round-trip toll could conceivably cost as part of the MTA's proposed package of fare and toll hikes.
The authority outlined a variety of options yesterday meant to achieve a projected revenue increase of up to 23 percent, to plug a $1.2 billion budget gap.
Nothing is set in stone; rather, the proposed changes, including a $6.25 express bus fare, a $2.50 or $3 local bus or subway fare and severe service cuts, reflect the outside threshold of pain.
Of the $14 toll threat, MTA spokesman Jeremy Soffin said, "Is it a possibility? It's there, but it's in the upper range. I don't know where we'll be in the end."
Any combination of fare and toll hikes could be implemented as part of the MTA's doomsday scenario if the state Legislature doesn't step in with an alternate secure funding stream to replace flopped dedicated real estate taxes.
"This is not a bailout of the MTA," said the authority's lone Staten Island representative, Livingston attorney Allen Cappelli. "This is a bailout of the riders, the users of this system, and the drivers who have to take these bridges who have no choices. That's what we're going to go fight for."
Required by law to pass a balanced budget by year's end, the board of the MTA passed the fare and toll hike plan earlier this month, with the stipulation that the hikes and a package of service cuts would be pushed off until spring. It is hoped the Legislature will act in the interim to stanch the bleeding and scale back the cuts. Among the suggestions are the tolling of the East and Harlem River bridges; a new one-third-of-one-percent payroll tax, and a weight-based vehicle registration fee.
"All the increases that will be proposed are more than we think are reasonable, and we don't want to have to implement them," Soffin said.
Borough President James Molinaro said he is most concerned lest Island drivers lose their resident discounts at the Verrazano.
Cappelli pledged to continue to fight to keep the discounts, which allow Islanders to pay $4.98 for a round trip and $2.33 per trip with carpool tickets bought in advance and three or more people per car.
Proposed cuts affecting Staten Island include elimination of weekend service on the S42, S54, S57, S60 and S76, and a reduction in operating hours on weekdays on the S54, S57, S60 and S66.
The final proposal is expected to be released next week, with flexibility to make changes based on input from the public and the MTA board.
A public hearing on the proposal is scheduled for Jan. 26 at 6 p.m. in the College of Staten Island's Center for the Arts Springer Concert Hall at 2800 Victory Blvd. in Willowbrook.
Last March's fare hike left the base $2 fare and $5 express bus fares untouched, but the prices of some multiple-ride MetroCards were increased.

My Goals
I have a deep concern for the "whole" child and feel each area of his/her development is of equal importance- the physical, social, emotional, and intellectual growth. I strive to help the individual child develop fully through his/her work, according to the teaching of Dr. Maria Montessori, the founder of the "Montessori Method." The following are areas of development you can expect to see in your child:
o A joy of learning
o Learning through discovery
o Attachment to reality
o Ability to choose
o Enjoyment of quiet
o Love of order
o Concentration
o Self confidence
o Self discipline
o independence
It is not acquired by listening to words, but by virtue of experience in which the child acts on his environment.
We must offer the child the help he needs and be at his service so that he does not have to walk alone."
Maria Montessori
The basic idea in the Montessori philosophy of education is that all children carry within themselves the person they will become. In order to develop physical, intellectual, and spiritual potential to the fullest, the child must have freedom: a freedom to be achieved through order and self discipline. The world of the child is full of sights and sounds that at first appear chaotic. From this chaos, children must create order, learn to distinguish among the impressions that assail their senses, and slowly but surely gain mastery of themselves and their environment.

Dollar Tree, Inc. (NASDAQ: DLTR), North America's leading operator of discount variety stores, today announced its participation in the Goldman Sachs Global Retailing Conference on September 8, 2016.
The most recent short interest data was recently released for the 08/15/2016 settlement date, and Dollar Tree, Inc. is the #136 most shorted of the S&P 500 components, based on 5.59 "days to cover."
