League Notes: No Final Decision About Nurburgring F1 Race By FIA
Published October 2, 2012
SPEAKING OUT: South African Football Association President Kirsten Nematandani has spoken out strongly against the growing incidents of hooliganism within South African football, saying this disturbing development should be eliminated without delay. On Sunday, irate Mamelodi Sundowns supporters tore down barriers and knocked down the club dugout in protest after losing 2-0 to Moroka Swallows at Dobsonville Stadium. Nematandani said, "Most people go to watch soccer as a source of entertainment with their families, and they need to be protected from these thugs" (SAFA). ... The Central Districts Cricket Association "is interviewing applicants next week in its hunt for a director of cricket." Central Districts Cricket Association CEO Hugh Henderson Friday "would not disclose how many people are vying for the newly created position or where they were from," but he said that the fulltime or part-time position "entailed the responsibility of overseeing and coordinating the game in the fragmented region (HAWKE'S BAY TODAY, 9/29).

Afternoon analysis 11.12.2015:
Risk aversion prevailed in the markets. ECB's Benoit Coeure sees limited risk of deflation in the eurozone. The US reports supported the tightening scenario.
Since the surprising ECB meeting at the beginning of December the central bank officials have been very active. Just after the decision on extending asset purchases and lowering interest rates ECB President Mario Draghi explained the central bank's stance. Later Ewald Nowotny and Yves Mersch gave additional speeches.
On Friday Benoit Coeure gave a speech (based on Reuters). The ECB Board Member said the central bank's actions limited the risk of deflation viewed as self-reinforcing expectations of lower prices. In spite of that, a global low inflation remained a problem for the eurozone. The ECB may adjust the asset purchase program, if it is needed. Coeure added, that the ECB takes into account actions of the Federal Reserve.
In the next week the US central bank is expected to raise interest rate by 25 basis points. This factor is responsible for the risk aversion that prevails in the broad market. Earlier, it has been sparked by surprisingly limited ECB actions. In addition, drop in the oil price and mixed data from China limit investor's willingness to buy risky assets.
The November's retail sales supported the tightening scenario in the US. As expected, sales increased 0.2 percent on a monthly basis and the report excluding auto sales increased 0.4 percent. Moreover, producer prices increased more than expected. The PPI inflation increased 0.3 percent and the core PPI inflation was 0.3 percent higher.
Strong risk aversion
The emerging market currencies were under negative pressure. The tendency stems from the drop in oil prices and other commodities. Today the International Energy Agency said that oversupply may increase in the next year. As a result, the oil price may end the week at the lowest level since 2008.
News agencies are reporting on the political crisis in South Africa. Given the situation, the rand dropped more than 10 percent.
The Russian Central Bank left interest rates unchanged at 11 percent. The monetary authorities said the will cut rates in the coming meeting if the inflation rate decelerates. The statement negatively affected the rubble. The Russian currency was additionally pressured by the drop in oil price. As a result, the USD/RUB increased near the record 70 level.
The CSO released data on international trade in October. Since the beginning of the year export increased 6.7 percent and import 3.2 percent. It was less than in the prior month, when it was 6.8 and 3.6 percent, respectively.
On Friday, the zloty was steady at low level. In the next week important report from Poland are scheduled (production, retail sales and inflation). Given the expectations for the Fed to raise rates, the probability of a stronger zloty is rather low.

IN any other circumstances the Chris Huhne and Vicky Pryce saga might be just
another sordid but private tale of betrayal and revenge.
But this undignified story, playing out in public, now threatens to wreck a
much bigger marriage.
It has the capacity to inflame political passions, split the Coalition and
bring down the Government.
There are no Tory tears over Chris Huhne's Cabinet resignation — and fewer
than you might think among his fellow Lib Dems.
His ruthless ambition and the compulsion to leak poison about other ministers
have made Mr Huhne the object of deep distrust and dislike.
Some have rushed to suggest he was more popular than his abrasive manner and
suspected treachery might suggest.
Nick Clegg, badly bruised by his arch rival during their leadership battle,
insists he would welcome back the man who covets his job.
But Mr Clegg and his Spanish wife, Miriam, have shown where their
sympathies truly lie.
Mrs Clegg rang Greek-born Vicky Pryce immediately after the couple were
charged with perverting the course of justice to offer her hospitality in
their home.
Business Secretary Vince Cable has already demonstrated his support by
embracing Vicky in front of the TV cameras at last year's party conference.
Scores of political friends showed whose side of the marital rift they were on
by turning up on Saturday night at Vicky's home for the annual party she and
her husband once threw together and which she has continued alone.
Huhne's grown-up children have reportedly turned against their father because
they cannot forgive him for betraying their mother with bisexual Carina
Trimingham, a family friend and frequent house guest.
To make matters worse, laughing Carina was seen in Westminster with a pearl
ring on her engagement finger the day before the couple were charged. The
next chapter in this astonishing story will be their court appearance on
Thursday week.
Mr Huhne insists he will deny the charge. His ex-wife has yet to reveal her
In the squabble over who was driving when their car was clocked speeding in
2003, the court will ultimately decide the truth.
If Vicky pleads guilty she could become a witness. Otherwise they could end up
uncomfortably alongside each other in the dock. The consequences of this
real-life soap ripple far beyond the couple's fate. The only issue on which
the Coalition is truly united is cutting the deficit. It is in Britain's
vital national interest that they stay together — at least for this term.
Yet Mr Huhne has played a potent role on all the issues that now threaten to
break them asunder.
He is the abrasive champion of windmills that clog our coastline, ordering
hundreds more despite evidence they are both costly and useless.
More than 100 Tories want that order scrapped, to Lib Dem anger but with quiet
support from Chancellor George Osborne. Mr Huhne is an outspoken advocate
for reforming the House of Lords — also bitterly opposed by Tories as a
waste of time.
And he was fully behind planned laws forcing Britain to spend £13BILLION
a year on foreign aid.
With India choosing to buy French, not British warplanes — and turning its
nose up at our £240million a year aid — there is growing Tory anger here
As for the toxic issue of Europe, it remains the biggest threat to Coalition
Tension will reach breaking point if Mr Huhne is convicted and resigns his
marginal seat in Eastleigh, once a Tory stronghold.
David Cameron would face a choice between giving his Lib Dem partners a clear
run and enraging Tories who need seats like this if they are ever to govern
It is hard to see how he could avoid the fight. A by-election would expose the
deep hatred and mutual loathing between the partners in this artificial
The trial of Chris Huhne could decide whether it can hold together for
three more years.
arrival in the Falklands.
Rioters in Buenos Aires brand him William the conquistador and claim we are
using the 30th anniversary of the war to retake the islands to rub their
noses in it.
In fact, we are remembering the 255 Brits and 649 Argentinians who died in

Maxxie: Sofa bedMature
The shopping is in the cupboards before you can say "sleep" and I flop onto the sofa, tempted to fall asleep right there. What? We all know I don't do well on little sleep, and my sofa just happens to be very, very comfy.
"Want anything to eat, lazy?" Hadley asks.
"No, thanks," I mumble, closing my eyes.
"Don't complain later."
"I'll only complain if you don't eat something," I smile, getting comfy.
"If only Caleb was here." He snorts with laughter and I chuckle, half opening my eyes. "He would've thought up about 500 ways to make that sound disgusting."
"I can think of a couple," I smile again.
"Oh yeah?"
"Yeah. I can think of a few for 'don't make me come in there and make you eat something' too."
"Eww," he laughs and I rest my head on the back of the sofa.
"But seriously, get something to eat. Like I said, I don't want you passing out because I'm not feeding you or something."
"Way to make me sound like a pet."
I hold up my hands and laugh. "You're the one who was calling me pooch."
"Watch it, you. I'll collar you if I have to" I catch him grinning and giggle.
"I didn't know that was what turned you on. I'll keep it in mind," I say with a wink. He shakes his head.
"Do you want me to eat something or not?"
"Sorry," I grin. Smiling, he turns and fixes himself some nachos, while I, lazily, begin to fall asleep again. Remind me to take some sleeping pills or something next time my head starts shouting at me.
I feel Hadley's lips press to my forehead and my lips pull up in a smile.
"Bedroom. You'll fuck your back up if you stay there."
"If that was true, I'd have a fucked up back," I mutter quietly.
"Go." I open my eyes and switch on the TV, pretending like I'm awake.
"I'm awake. I don't need to move anywhere." He gives me this disbelieving look, which I ignore, snuggling into him instead. He eats his nachos and I smile, putting my arms around him, making it fairly clear that I refuse to move anywhere any time soon. He looks down at me out of the corner of his eye.
"Can I help you?"
"By staying still. That'd be great, thanks."
"So you can fall asleep?"
"I'm not falling asleep, I'm just using you as my pillow," I protest, lying through my teeth in the process. We all know I'm going to fall asleep here like this. He chuckles. "Bed, now." I let out a whine. "Dude, go."
"But the bed monsters might run off with me."
"I'm willing to risk it," he smirks and I pull a hurt face.
"I'm offended."
"Deal with it," he says, eating another nacho. I scowl and stand up, and start pulling the cushions off the sofa.
"Get up." He doesn't move. "I will push you on the floor," I threaten. Instead of moving, he just eats some more. So I push him on the floor and move the cushions from his side of the sofa too.
"What was that for exactly?" I'm too busy trying to remember how to make the sofa bed work to answer. After a moment, I remember and flip it out, faceplanting it.
"That's cheating," he giggles, sitting down on it. I roll onto my side and use my arm as a pillow.
"What?" I ask as he looks at me.

I am a state-licensed psychologist. In California, a psychologist must have a
doctorate degree in psychology (or closely related doctoral degree). [If you're
wondering how I think about psychotherapy and psychology, take a look at
my page on adult development theory.
It's not meant to emphasize all that I believe is important about
psychotherapy, but I will be happy to answer all questions upon our
initial consultation.]
Psychologists are trained in the practice of psychotherapy or counseling. In addition, they are specialists in the scientific evaluation of clinical data. They are also trained to both use and understand specialized tests for psychological measurement and testing, such as I.Q. tests or personality inventories. (If you want to know something about my background, please see my résumé.) Psychologists try to understand human behavior in an integrated, multi-dimensional fashion.
Psychiatrists are medical doctors (MD) who have chosen psychiatry as a specialty. They have completed a residency in psychiatry, and are specialists in the prescription of psychotropic medications. They are the only mental health specialists who can prescribe drugs. Many psychiatrists use the medical model to understand human behavior.
Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs) have received at least a master's level advanced degree. They are trained in both psychotherapy and social interventions aimed at helping the individual cope with problems in his or her environment, or dealing with government or social agencies. They cannot do psychological testing, nor prescribe medications. They typically hold a master's degree in social work.
Marriage, Family and Child Counselors (MFCCs or MFTs) have received at least a master's level advanced degree. They are trained in psychotherapy, working primarily with individuals and/or their families to ameliorate problems. They also cannot do psychological testing nor prescribe medications.
Other individuals may offer kinds of mental health interventions or counseling, within the scope of their licensed practice and training, e.g. Master's level psychiatric nurses, non-psychiatric MDs. There are also non-licensed individuals who practice some kind of psychological counseling. These range from pastors or clergy (who have traditionally done this, and often have been trained for this role), to peer or volunteer counseling. Unfortunately, there are quacks and charlatans in the therapy field, as in any other. When pursuing any form of counseling or psychotherapy, you should always ask your provider about their credentials.
[Back to top of page] [Back to Home Page]
Therapy and counseling are sought for numerous reasons: an
immediate problem, mandate from a government agency, personal self-exploration,
among others. Usually this question is asked when someone feels they already
need some kind of help, but aren't sure if their problems are either normal,
will go away, or are capable of self-solution. I have noticed that people will
live with a lot of pain before they seek help from someone. Going to see a
therapist is a sign of personal strength and wisdom, a recognition of the
importance you give to yourself and your well-being.
The stigma of seeking psychological help is unfortunately part of what we are typically taught in this society, but in therapy you will find acceptance, as well as, hopefully, the help you desire. Of course, you can always try self-evaluation inventories found in numerous magazines or books. I have one on Depression elsewhere on this website. I also have information on this site about coping with stress and anxiety and on shyness.
The bottom line is that if you bothered by problems with emotions or behaviors, if your ability (as Freud once noted) to love and/or work are being negatively affected, then you may need some kind of mental health intervention. Millions of people seek or have sought this kind of help, with very positive results.
Will therapy work for me?
Psychotherapy has been reported to help many individuals suffering from mental
or relational distress or mental disorder. The American Psychological
Association (APA) has gathered a number of research results on their webpage, "The
Efficacy of Psychotherapy". Please note: no treatment is for everybody.
No provider will be able to help everyone they meet. Furthermore, there are potential ill
effects from therapy, primarily increased emotional distress, which should be
discussed with any clinician you meet with, if you are unduly concerned. As a
therapist, I cannot guarantee anybody that they will get better or feel better
by seeing me. However, after we have met and discussed your situation, I will
have a better idea of how I can potentially help you, how long that might take,
and what you and I can expect from such an outcome. And I confidently can say
that I feel I have helped the vast majority of people I have worked with.
Choosing a therapist is a very personal decision. I suggest checking out the APA's Help Center website, which has information about how talking to a psychologist can help someone, and how to choose a psychologist. From my standpoint, a therapist should be professional, honest, easy to understand, non-judgmental, and non-punitive. There may be some special quality or characteristic you desire in a therapist. Try to give the new therapy relationship a little time before you make up your mind about whether it's for you or not. Give feedback to your therapist, and see how you feel about the dialogue that ensues. Listen to your feelings.
Therapy can be challenging and even at times seem threatening. The quality of the feedback from the therapist, the safety he or she provides, will probably go a long way in helping you decide whether that therapist is right for you or not. (And, by the way, seeing multiple therapists at the same time is not a good way to make the best decision. In my experience, it's confusing for both client and therapist(s), and interferes with producing the kind of atmosphere and relationship with a professional helper that is conducive to positive change.)
The length of therapy is determined by a number of factors, including the needs of the client, the assessment by the therapist of the client's needs, the ability of the client to attend treatment, financial considerations, the amount of time the problems have persisted, etc. Popular culture has given many people the idea that therapy will take months and years, or never even end. However, research on frequency of therapy treatment shows repeatedly that most people see a therapist for from one to two sessions up to three to six months. Outcome research shows that a majority of patients feel helped within this general time period. Individuals who need or want therapy for longer periods will discuss this situation with their therapist. Longer treatments occur for a variety of reasons, including anything from serious mental illness or ongoing environmental stressors, to a commitment on the part of the patient to more intensive, self-examining personality change and self-awareness. I suggest you discuss any concerns you have about this at the outset with myself, or anyone you choose to work with.
Please note that Gay and Lesbian clients are welcome in both individual and couples counseling.

I think therapy is a bargain, but why should you believe me?
Well, read on and see what you think . . .
Most people get their maximum benefit from therapy in anything from one session to three to six months of therapy. (See Consumer Reports (1995), "Mental health: Does therapy help?" pp. 734-739. Click here for more information on this study). Therapy at a low-fee clinic may be had for as little as $35-$60 an hour, though often there is a waiting list, or the therapy is with trainees, and there is usually a time limit.
The following are "ballpark" figures of fee ranges for the different kinds of therapists, based upon my experience. Some therapists will go lower, or charge higher than these ranges, so you must always ask the specific provider. Note that there are often regional or geographical differences in rates. To some extent, differences in prices are based on amount of training and experience. To some extent, prices reflect differences in social status of the occupation.
Psychiatrists - $150 to
$300 per hour
Psychologists - $80 to $220 per hour
LCSWs - $80 to $160 per hour
MFTs - $75 to $150 per hour
In my opinion, therapy is a tremendous bargain for those who need or want to substantially change their lives.
Therapy is an investment in yourself. It can help remove painful, awkward, or
undesirable symptoms. Therapy offers the opportunity to change old
patterns or gain control over the problems that pursue you. If you are willing
to pursue it, it can also induce positive character change. It's important to note, however, that nothing is foolproof, and your experience
with therapy or counseling (or for that matter, psychotropic medication) will be
unique to you. And, like any other treatment, there are risks involved. In
psychotherapy, that usually refers to the occasional emotional or psychic
discomfort that arises in the course of talking about your problems or your
What about insurance? While I believe third-party payers, such as insurance companies, can potentially interfere with effective treatment and raise issues around confidentiality, I usually will accept indemnity insurance, where the patient pays in full up front and then submits an invoice for reimbursement from their insurance company. I am also a Preferred Provider for Blue Cross of California. If planning to use insurance, it is best to call me to see if your insurance coverage is applicable or accepted by me.
The policies and benefits offered by insurance companies are in a state of seemingly perpetual change. Many people do not even realize that their mental health benefits have been "carved-out" to sub-contracting providers. For instance, some years ago Blue Shield of California "carved-out" most of their mental health benefits to U.S. Behavioral Health (USBH). I have chosen not to join the provider panel of USBH, and many other managed care providers, because of the intrusive control and micro-management I feel they exert over the treatment. (Also, to be honest, their reimbursement rates are far below market rates. More experienced and/or talented therapists won't work at the very low reimbursement rates.) Mental health benefits are, despite recent efforts at reform, typically reimbursed or covered at far lower levels than other health benefits. Please read your insurance policy carefully or contact your insurance provider so you know what your benefits do and do not provide.
Also, you should know that I believe that using third party payers for reimbursement carries a certain amount of risk as regards your confidentiality, privacy, or future capacity to obtain health or life insurance. Mental health information given to insurance companies are entered into their computers, and may in the near future, if Congress approves, also be forwarded to a national medical data bank. (See the American Psychological Association's article about insurance-confidentiality concerns at http://www.division42.org/PublicArea/IPSpg00/Ethics/Hibel.html. For more general risks regarding confidentiality and computer databases, see the article from the online journal Online Medicine, "When privacy and the public good collide".) Recent news events have demonstrated that computers are vulnerable to break-ins and unauthorized access. (See the January 2002 USA Today article, "Computer theft leads to search for stolen military records"; the theft was from TriWest Healthcare Alliance -- half a million patients' confidential information was jeopardized!) Unfortunately, mental health problems still carry a stigma in this society, and you may be concerned that your problems and treatment remain as confidential as possible. If that is the case, then you should seriously consider the issues involved in utilizing insurance company reimbursement for your treatment. Private pay can be both more safer and surprisingly affordable, for the benefit treatment can bring.
[Back to top of page] [Back to Home Page]
I regularly work with couples, both married and not, who are struggling with issues of intimacy, jealousy, commitment, anger, and trust. I usually have evening hours, as often one or both partners work. My orientation is to increase understanding of the couple's relationship patterns, and decrease destructive (but all-too-human) tendencies to focus on blame and guilt. My work with individuals in a relationship is non-judgmental. There is no relationship that is not without its problems. I have found that working with couples in counseling to achieve better understanding, better communications, and acceptable expectations can profoundly affect the quality of the relationship. But, there is no guarantee that couples therapy will heal old wounds or patch up a crumbling relationship. Expectations about the therapy are discussed at the outset. Participants can be expected to be treated as two adults, with respect for the life course and goals of each of the partners. Couples therapy can be very challenging, even an adventure in self-discovery. (See my web page on Relationship Problems.)
"My partner doesn't want to go" or "My partner is very wishy-washy about the whole thing... doesn't believe in therapy." I have heard the above, or some variation of it, many times. The absolute truth is that you can't force someone to do something they don't want to do. However, if the partner is assured that they are not entering into something that will be embarrassing to them, or blaming, or judgmental, or attacking, they may be willing to give it a try. I tell everyone that our initial meeting is just that, an initial assessment and look-see at me and the entire therapy process. No one will be forced or pressured to do anything or say anything they don't want. Just knowing that sometimes reduces the anxiety or resistance associated with seeing a therapist. Still, the initiating partner must understand that often the fact that their partner is unwilling may become an early focus of the treatment. After all, it is most likely one aspect of a relational pattern that involves more than a discussion of whether to go to therapy.
If you wish to discuss this more, please feel free to call me at my office: 415-362-8262.

The choice to get counseling or therapy is that of the
adult individual alone. Some people, in trouble with school or the law, may be
mandated or essentially forced to seek therapy. This is not the best way to be
introduced to help, but sometimes psychological intervention may still be
effective, even in such cases.
When the person is an adult, and there is no external force mandating therapy, and if they do not wish to see a therapist, then there is little to be gained by trying to morally coerce them, or blackmail them. Exhortation of unwilling individuals is also very tiring for the helper. As people who have tried to get resistant alcoholics into treatment may be painfully aware, the individual who needs help may have to discover for him or herself, through troublesome experiences, that they need assistance.
Minors present a special case. Young children may not be able to effectively give consent, and the right to seek treatment rests in the hands of their parents. Older children or adolescents may in some cases be able to legally seek treatment without their parents' knowledge. They may also feel willing or forced to go see a therapist at behest of parents and/or school. Each of these situations is usually treated by a therapist on a case by case basis.

Call me directly at 415-362-8262. If you leave a message,
give me a phone number to reach you at, and a couple of good times you are
available to talk (the better to avoid "phone tag"). I will return
your call usually within a few hours, at minimum within 24 hours.
Or you can e-mail me at sfpsych at gmail dot com. I check my e-mail at least once a day, but I may not get back to you as quickly as by phone. Please do not send e-mails to this site or anyone associated with it that may include confidential information. (Before e-mailing me, please read my e-mail policies and warnings about confidentiality on-line by clicking here.)
Generally, I will be able to see you the same week as you call. I have office hours days, evenings, and on Saturdays.

Yes, I do. My experience on the Internet is that many visitors have specific questions about the MMPI, a well-known and often used psychological test. For more information about the MMPI click here.
I also provide educational testing and assessment for learning disorders and disabilities. Parents looking for such testing for their children should know that public law mandates their children be tested for learning problems by qualified personnel in their school districts. Parents should contact their special education department, or ask their child's teacher how to make a formal request. Regardless of this benefit, parents may wish their child to see or be tested by a psychologist outside the employment of their child's district. For instance, the schools are not mandated to test for SAT exceptions. Please call me if you have any questions whether formal assessment is appropriate for your child, or if you are an adult seeking testing for yourself.
Fees for testing are generally higher than for therapy, as this work requires time outside of the testing hour (for scoring, evaluation, writing up results, etc.). Testing is usually done to evaluate mental and emotional functioning, memory, learning disabilities, intelligence, and personality characteristics. Testing is often required to document certain kinds of disability (e.g. court-ordered evaluations, workers compensation, special education/individualized treatment plans for children, etc.).

Please note that White Glove delivery will typically add 5 - 7 business days to your order's transit, and only includes 30 minutes of on-site time. If on-site time beyond 30 minutes is required, you may be responsible for additional fees. Additionally, this service does not include set-up of the items being delivered.

Customer questions about this product
- Can I use the top of my unit for storage?
- Nothing should be stored on top of your unit. Typically, top mount refrigerators and freezers do not have an actual top. If you're looking for extra storage space, we recommend choosing a bottom mount unit.
- Can this item fit through a standard height 80" doorway?
- Due to the height of this item, it may not be able to fit through a standard 80" tall doorway. Please measure your entryway to ensure that you will be able to bring your order inside.
From the Premiere Pro Series, the 49 cu ft. Turbo Air PRO-50R 52" Premiere Pro Series two section solid door reach in refrigerator boasts precise digital temperature controls for maximum control and food safety! Its stainless steel interior and exterior is durable and easy to clean, and its six adjustable heavy duty stainless steel shelves make it easy to accommodate a variety of ingredients as your menu changes. The top mounted 1/2 hp compressor helps maximize storage space, and is less likely to get clogged with dust and dirt than a bottom mounted model.
This unit also uses Turbo Air's revolutionary self-cleaning condenser system, which automatically cleans the condenser by moving a rotating brush up and down across its surface 2-3 times per day. Not only does this process eliminate the need for your employees to manually clean the condenser every few weeks, but it prevents dust from building up on the coils. In turn, this reduces the stress on the compressor and the risk of it breaking down, resulting in fewer maintenance calls and higher overall energy efficiency.
- Digital temperature control system
- Stainless steel interior; stainless steel exterior with galvanized top, bottom and back
- Six heavy duty, adjustable stainless steel shelves
- Oversized, balanced refrigeration system with 1/2 hp top mounted compressor, R-134a refrigerant and high density polyurethane insulation help maintain temperatures between 33 and 38 degrees Fahrenheit
- Hot gas condensate system, automatic evaporator fan motor delay

Twilight actor speaks in the Yale Daily News. Spencer is a member of the Lakota Sioux tribe.
Reports from Native students at Yale (including my awesome daughter, Liz), are that Spencer is a very cool guy, personable and unpretentious. He spoke with Native students about being a Native actor, and specifically about the politics of casting. Liz is busy with term papers and can't go into detail at this point, but I hope to learn and share more later...
The photo I used here is from his website.

David Pogue on 'Hunting the Elements'
Popular science is more popular than ever. Its subjects also seem more rarefied than ever: string theory, theoretical physics, theoretical astrophysics. Whatever happened to the more tangible natural sciences? The ones we all think we know — chemistry, for example. We all remember studying the periodic table of the elements in high school, maybe even in college, but do we remember what it all meant? Do we understand what the elements do — and what they can do?
David Pogue, host of NOVA's "Making Stuff" series and a technology correspondent for our partner the New York Times, is premiering his two-hour NOVA special "Hunting the Elements" tonight on PBS. He discusses what we know about nature's building blocks, what we still don't know, and how scientists are using the 118 elements toward purposes we may never have imagined.
The NOVA special "Hunting the Elements" is produced by our partner WGBH.

The coat of arms is like an ancient form of Wikipedia entry: within it one finds a potted biography, often completely made up by the person in question. Some politicians – George Osborne, say – may be stuck with the old heraldry that comes with their baronetcy, but others, like Speaker John Bercow, are in a position to invent their own. His new coat of arms features rainbows, representing equality, and tennis balls, representing how much he likes tennis. Who else in the public eye could do with a custom-fitted coat of arms?
Fatima Whitbread
Silver shield, representing her silver medal in Seoul in 1988, surmounted by crossed javelins. The crest is a cockroach rampant, above the Latin motto: "Ut laoreet dolore magna celebritas, adepto ex naribus meis." ("I'm a celebrity, get out of my nose.")
Simon Cowell
White escutcheon flecked with gold dollar signs, surmounted by deep V-neck sable, flattened top decorated with crown, with silver microphones flanking and the motto, "Si quis, ego exciderunt." ("If you win, I have failed.")
Ed Miliband
Heart-shaped red shield surrounded by tightening belt to represent the "squeezed middle", surmounted by a grey silhouette of an awkwardly right-lurching man only partially obscuring shadow of David Miliband. Above them a dagger (representing Ed) is crossed against a banana (representing David). Motto: "Extrapolate dolor sit amet." ("I can extrapolate your pain.")

I think ownership is slowly going to realize soon enough that they need to change their ways. Its most likely that we will miss the playoffs this season for the 4th time.. They can't be that blind. 4 years... Its no fluke anymore, the team simply doesn't have what it takes to make the playoffs. They have to be considering their options now.. they have to, they need to realize that they won't keep their fan base anymore if they are finishing 9th -10th place every season.

What is likely going to happen:
Flames continue to toil along until Kipper gets back, they will be a 14th place team in the west. Once Kipper returns the team will go on a bit of a winning streak bringing them back up at 10th place, trade deadline passes and the Flames hold tight because they think they have a chance. Season ends, we are 4-5 points out of it, draft 10th-13th overall, get a marginal prospect, Management tries to "sell" fans on the idea that "if we had Kipper we would have made the post season"
Roll credits.
TLDR: Flames will do what they always do.
Seems legit.. I guess our only hope is that Kipper's injury drags on a couple more weeks.

A community survey for parents from Seattle Public Schools has been posted to the HIMS homepage. Please take a few minutes to provide valuable information to the search committee.
Are you interested in working with the Principal Search Committee this spring?
If so, this is your invitation to submit a letter indicating interest to the Hamilton PTSA. The PTSA Board has convened a small committee of Hamilton parents who will read the applications and choose applicants who represent the best cross-section of Hamilton programs, academic tracks, backgrounds and interests. The applicants who are chosen will be invited to join the Principal Search Committee.
Interview dates are TBD, but we anticipate that there will be one or more interview days to take place in the last two weekends in March at the John Stanford Center. Applicants should be available for both days on both weekends, since we don't yet know what date(s) will be selected. The district will also likely provide training for selection committee members prior to the interviews.
If you are interested in joining the Principal Search Committee, please email your introduction letter firstname.lastname@example.com, or turn it in at the Hamilton Office and ask the office staff to put it in the PTSA mailbox.
Letters of application are due by 3 p.m. on Wednesday, Feb. 18. (NEW DATE due to the holiday.)
In your letter, please be sure to address or include:
We need committee members to review this fiscal year's financial business and to workshop create a budget for the 2015-16 year. The commitment for each of these committees would be approximately 2-4 hours. If you would be interested in working on either of these committees, please contact Barbara Vaughey, our PTSA Treasurer, at email@example.com.
There will also be other openings on the PTSAcommittee that we are in the process of determining. If you would like further information, please contact Erica Jorgensen, VP of Communications, at email@example.com.
As we mentioned last week, the 2015 Legislative Session is underway.
In addition to education funding, the legislature is considering a number of education related bills.
One that the Seattle Council PTSA is tracking closely is the "Breakfast after the Bell" program. The bill would fund grants for high-needs schools allowing them to participate in the Federal Breakfast program.
In the House (HB 1295) and the Senate (SB 5437), the bill has a broad base of support and cleared a critical hurdle this week when it passed the House Education Committee. For more information, visit SchoolBreakfastWA.org.
Make your voice heard! Contact your elected officials to share your opinion on education funding and other priorities that kids need to be successful.
The Washington State Legislative Hotline will allow you to get messages to your representatives, senator, and the Governor's office. 1.800.562.6000.
Check out the Washington State Legislature's website to learn more: http://leg.wa.gov/
We will keep you posted as bills and budgets progress over the next few months.
If you have any questions, please contact Tara Lee, PTA Legislative Liaison
email@example.com, or 206-851-4452.
We ♥ Our PTSA Members!
Thanks to all the great support from the Hamilton community, our PTSA has qualified for a Washington State PTA "Sapling Award." Nice work Hamilton families! This award recognizes local PTAs that enroll at least 75% as many members as there are students in the school. With a total of 776 HIMS PTSA members so far this year, our school is looking good!
If you have any questions about PTSA membership, or if you never received your HIMS PTSA membership card, please contact Elizabeth Carson-Cheng, our Membership Chair, at email@example.com.
Thank you for participating in the Hamilton PTSA 2014 Fall Fund Drive! Together with anticipated corporate matches, your donations have raised just over $90,000! This will enable us to meet our PTSA budget for the year, and will help support the programs and community that we all value here at Hamilton.
Every student, and the entire Hamilton community, will benefit from your generous donations. The PTSA is committed to using these funds in the 2014-2015 academic year, and in the event of a surplus, we will work with Principal Watters to ensure that any funds are re-allocated as necessary to achieve that purpose.
All tax receipt letters were sent in December and January. If you did not receive one, or if you have any questions, please get in touch with Deb Sundblad at firstname.lastname@example.com.
If you work for a company who offers corporate matching, please be sure and submit any necessary paperwork to your company to inform them of your donation and get the process started on the matching funds. We are working diligently to respond to all requests for confirmation as they come our way. Any questions about corporate matching can be directed to Deb Sundblad, VP of Fundraising, at firstname.lastname@example.com, or Barbara Vaughey, Treasurer, at email@example.com.
Please mark your calendars for another important event. On Tuesday, March 3, Lisa Davidson from SPS will join us here at Hamilton for an engaging and informative evening focusing on the role of adults in preventing adolescent substance use. This parent education night is for adults only, but childcare can be provided.
For more information contact Luke Sworts, Neighborcare Therapist: (206) 940-2582.
Lice alert!
We have several cases of head lice in our building at this time so parents please check your child's hair and all household members. If lice or nits (eggs) are found, treatment will be necessary. Let me know if you would like me to check. For more information contact me or visit www.headlice.org.

Dear Hamilton International I had the opportunity to go on two eighth grade field trips recently. One was to Olympia to visit the State Capitol and the other was to the International District. On both field trips I saw students using what they had learned in their classes to ask questions, have conversations and notice different aspects of our city and state.
Visiting the Capitol and meeting some of our legislators was a great way for students to see how our state government functions and understand some of the intricacies involved with the three branches of government. Senator Frockt, Senator Pederson, and Senator Kohl-Welles spent quite a bit of time with a group of students in a meeting room off of the Capitol rotunda. The Senators gave an overview of what their daily work entailed and then entertained questions from the students. The students were prepared with substantive questions about policies that the Legislature was working on or had recently passed. It was a nice opportunity for students to interact with their lawmakers.
The field trip to the International District was a fantastic way to connect in class learning to a practical experience in the city. The classes read Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and did work around historical relevance of this text on how Seattle evolved as a city during this time period. Being able to stand on street corners that the characters stood on and visit a home where a historical family lived was an awesome experience and truly brought the history to life. The students were genuinely engaged with the tour and were excited to be out enjoying the city.
Being able to witness students applying their learning outside of the classroom is energizing. Making connections from a text that was read in class, the study of state and local government, and the organic questions that come from being out in the city, make learning real and fun.
Have a nice President's Day break.
Go Hawks!

Keeping Important Products Secure with Wire Security Cages
Keeping Important Products Secure with Wire Security Cages from Bernards Bins
Wire shelving and wire garment racking is the perfect fit for shops in the fashion industry, helping them to display clothes better on the shop floor whilst also keeping them well organised out back in the warehouse. Security, though, is an issue that will always be at the forefront of anybody who owns a business. Luckily for them, wire shelving can help them on this front, too...
Wire security cages are a form of wire shelving that can keep products safe and secure under lock and key, whilst also making them visible to the public. Wire shelving in the guise of security cages are an excellent addition for stores that house specialist products and need to keep them away from potential thieves and pickpockets. http://www.bernardsbins.com/
Security cages are cost-effective and are available in static or mobile forms. They are also available preassembled, meaning that they are an immediate safety solution for stores that need product protection on an instantaneous basis. The wire shelving within can also hold large and heavy loads, making it ideal for businesses that have a number of items they want to keep secure. http://www.bernardsbins.com/
There are other forms of wire shelving available for those that want to accentuate the look and feel of their business, but when it comes to product safety then wire security cages are a fantastic storage solution.

Our austrian friends recommended visit of lake of Brno dam and to take sightseeing boat to the lake surrounding. We got off at castle Veveri with interesting small museum. What a charming and relaxing trip.
We'd been told that up at the castle "Burcak" is being served at this time of the year - it's a fermented drink, in between grape juice and wine - but that applied only to weekends, and we found the castle and its premises closed. Still, the surrounding scenery is pleasant, and the castle being not quite renovated yet exudes...
My country has no sea, but my home town has a dam. It is great to boast with it and enjoy summer boating plus visiting the Veveri castle. Even if you do not enter the interiers, observing exteriers broadens your horizons. Studying the special edition of the Veveri Castle wine in the wine cellar has also its charm. Drink responsibly...
I visited the castle on the way to Brno, a wonderful place in nature. The castle has a small museum with various exhibits especially medieval weapons. An ideal place for a picnic with family or friends
Castle Veveri, is one of the pretiest castles I have seen. If you are interested in going there it is a long trip to the top. I would suggest you bring food and drink for the journey. Located on the outskirts of Brno's borders, there is plenty to see along the way.
The trip takes the entire day, if you...
We took boat, it is cca 45 minute trip on lake. Castle is not in perfect condition. Many ongoing construction. Very limited opportunity to get lunch, only hot dogs and beer. Overall area is excellent for walk.
We took the boat option to get there, so the whole trip was more of an excursion. I enjoyed walking from the boat up the castle steps and around the battlements. Churchill took his wife here on their honeymoon. The views are great and we strolled down to a church along the road. It was shut but fun to walk...
Just only few kilometers from Brno. Nice castle surrounded by nature. The castle hasn't been reconstructed completely yet. Anyway, it looks great!
The castle is located in the vicinity of the mid part of the Brno artificial lake. Driving distance roughly 10 to 15 minutes from the high-way exit (Ostrovacice). There are two parking areas. One (the larger one) at the ground level of the castle and a smaller one at the mid level.
The entrance fee is really moderate and the...
An interesting old place -very photogenic.
We visited as part of a lovely day spent around the lake and its surrounding area.

Great stuff!
Reviewer1388943により 7 22, 2010 に掲載 | 認証済の購入
I've fought with candida problems for years. The Glut Immune seems to be healing what I suppose are holes in my gut (according to my research). My energy levels are more even after meals whereas before I was taking the Glut Immune food seemed to act as a toxin, leaving me sluggish and struggling to think. For me, nothing but good to say about this product.
doesn't mix that well
titoprontoにより 12 01, 2011 に掲載 | 認証済の購入
As much as I think this product is one of the best gut repairs in terms of helping my tummy, it is a challenge to take. It does not mix well into water and can barely dissolve into any liquid. It works best if blended with frozen fruit, and/or yoghurt and milk into a smoothie, but drink it at the time you make it, as it solidifies quickly.
Awesome product

I have lots of energy and no more muscle soreness. Anyone would love this product. I take this upon retiring with glycine powder and 500mg of B3. Prior to taking this my muscles were very sore from exercise, and my energy levels were getting depleted with exercise making it difficult to do so.
Great recovery product!

I got this for my husband, as prescribed by his doctor to put in his protein smoothie daily. I also eat a smoothie daily so I decided to try a scoop in mine as well. I have been treated for diverticulitis in the past, but minor cramps always remained in my lower left quadrant. Until I ate Glut Immune that is. To my surprise the cramps diminished then disappeared within two weeks. My gut feels much, much better. It seemed to be just what I was needing. Thank you!
Best Glutamine Powder
5336146282590103732により 8 14, 2012 に掲載 | 認証済の購入
I bought this glutamine for my dog, whose gut issues had contributed to a compromised immune system. I had noticed that certain products, which just happened to contain glutamine in them, seemed to help her. That's what got me investigating glutamine. I found out that glutamine is fantastic for healing the intestinal system and keeping muscles from wasting. This powder is the best quality and easily mixes with canned food. I've been giving her about a 1/4 scoop once a day (she's very small) and I am very pleased with it.
Wonderful Product

I have been using this product for months now and have noticed a significant difference in my GI symptoms. The GlutImmune has been repairing my intestines which in turn helps to build my immune system back up. I mix my GlutImmune with almond milk, blueberries, fresh flax seeds, ice (and whatever other powdered supplements I need to take) in a blender and make a yummy smoothie! Good stuff!

South suburban spotlightOak Lawn dad Jay Lurquin enjoys the things he does with his son Matthew—scouts, football, cooking—but when it comes to homework, it was anything but enjoyable. Matthew, a fourth-grader, struggles with homework, especially math.
"We have this thing called Everyday Math," says Lurquin. "Instead of having one way of doing math, there are six different ways the kids can come up with the answer. I was in advanced calculus in high school and I can't figure out what they want these kids to do."
That leaves them both frustrated during homework time.
Lurquin says that he has had numerous conversations with teachers and while they try to help by sending home instructions and answers, math still seems to be more work than it should be and he worries his son will struggle with more traditional methods once he reaches middle and high school.
He has resorted to sitting with Matthew every day after school and together they figure out the problems. To help ease homework stress, Lurquin has set up a reward system making homework time fun for the both of them. "I line up M&Ms and for every math problem he tries ... he gets one M&M. If he gets it right, he gets two. Matthew doesn't seem to mind homework as much now."

Learn to Manage Your Money Perfectly by Simply Managing:
using a
that only requires your
time and effort
taking only minutes of your time.
What's MoneySlinger?
MoneySinger is everything
every other online personal & family
budgeting program is not.
It's not a bank account reconciler,
and it's not a wealth manager;
it's not anything you're familiar with.
But it effects all the above.
It's a "cashflow" manager.
And here's what it does to
your personal budgeting efforts:
Every Budgeting Program Starts With a Budget
But that's only the plan,
and the plan may get done, but
now you need to work your plan.
And that's a process,
that takes time – that's never done.
It's working the plan and not the
the planning where people fail.
To start, the schedule your money is
on is a random mess all year long.
And your "work" all year long,
is to make it an un-mess.
This is the goal of traditional
money management.
What else could there be to do?
Well, have you considered what
money management would be like if
your money schedules were not a
random mess in the first place?
If all their incomes and expenses,
and the time schedules they
were on were all the same?
If days, weeks, months – and amounts
were all perfectly synchronized?
All the time, all year long?
What would there be to "calculate"?
What would happen to all the "work"?
Your Money, Over the Course of Time, is Your "Cashflow"
And cashflow has never
been directly addressed in
money management systems.
Until MoneySlinger.
Managing your cashflow, by
overcoming its randomness, changes
the entire task of money management.
It frees you from the burden
of having to continually calculate
your financial way though life so
you know "where you are".
Because you always know where you are,
both together with your spouse.
MoneySlinger's aim – like no other,
is to systemize your cashflow.
It moves you beyond mere money
management or "chaos management",
where every week is a new riddle to solve,
to a level that is "cashflow management".
Where you actually solved the
problem beforehand that creates
the random chaos each week.
MoneySlinger takes you to a level of
"processing" and "automation"and "ease"
that is beyond words here.
Allowing you to reach the
utmost pinnacle of financial control
and oversight by simply managing:
using a
that only requires your
time and effort
taking only minutes of your time.
Super Fast, Boringly Efficient
and Profoundly Empowering
The same 4 FIGURES.
The same CALCULATION.
The same TIME each month.
This is repetition…and repetition
becomes nearly a subconscious
act, just like all other acts you do
repeatedly that are exactly
the same, over and over.
Understand, that it's not the
technology or the program; it's the unique
math utilized in MoneySlinger that makes this happen.
MoneySlinger, unlike any other
system, is based on the mathematical
principle of "averaging".
"Averaging" is the only antidote for managing a
world that is not the same day to day.
It "breaks the rules" of
traditional money management,
by using a method that is used everyday
for statistical analysis in business, able
to project the tinniest of "trends".
That would be to project and anticipate
the future before it gets there.
That's to have insight into your cashflow,
impossible to "see" using traditional
mathematical methods.
All while using the same 4 FIGURES.
The same single CALCULATION.
At the same TIMES each month.
Free Yourself Now from the Burden
You're Being Told You Must Bear
You're killing yourself!
Forget the bank logins.
Forget where every penny goes.
You can even forget most of your tracking.
Forget everything you think you "know" about
money management – and start over –
by asking yourself:
Am I managing my cashflow?
Or is your cashflow managing me?
The fact is, with MoneySlinger,
you'll automate these decisions and
tasks to the point of
making them nearly invisible.

MoneySlinger work then click here

MoneySlinger work and you just want
