Lindsey Vonn's busy year
This is an extended version of a story that appears in ESPN The Magazine's Dec. 23 Interview Issue. Subscribe today!
Feb. 5
Crashes at the world championships in Austria and tears ACL and MCL in right knee
There was so much pain from halfway down my leg down to my ankle, and I couldn't figure out what was causing the pain. I was concerned that it was a broken leg, and a lot of people can't continue racing because of it. I thought, Oh my god, is my career gonna be over? But my doctor was on the mountain, and he came down and felt it. As soon as he said, "It's not your tibia, it's your knee," I was like, "Okay, it'll be all right." As for the rehab, I really only had two days where it was pretty brutal. After that, it was fine, and I didn't even need the painkillers after a few days. I think I was really lucky.
March 13
While recovering, is awarded her sixth straight downhill title, the most by any man or woman, and a record 17th crystal globe
It's a very fine line between too nervous and too calm in racing, and for some reason, I've been able to find that balance. When I got my first podium [in January 2004], I remembered what I did, and I literally did the exact same thing every single race. I was searching for a good routine. And for me, it's the way I am in the starting gate. I try to be very calm yet at the same time be aggressive. It's having already visualized the course a hundred times and knowing that I know where I'm going and I don't need to think about it again. So when I'm in the gate, I'm relaxed and ready to charge.
I've won many World Cups and Olympics and world championships now, so I feel like it's a matter of how hard I can push myself and how well I execute on that particular day. It's not necessarily whether the pressure's there or not. I want to ski fast no matter what I'm doing, even in training. When I focus on my skiing and am pushing myself and going fast, then the results come. If I think about the result first, then it'll never happen.
March 18
Confirms that she's dating Tiger Woods
I knew there were going to be positive and negative reactions, but it was still the right decision for us -- and I would do it again. And now the media just affects us when we go out to eat or something. We don't get stalked by paparazzi; it's not really like that. But one question I never want to hear again? "Is he coming to your races?" It's like, even if he was, I'm not going to tell you guys. We don't need to make an announcement. He's supporting me like I support him. I don't give interviews announcing that I'm coming to a golf tournament, you know?
Aug. 31
Hits the slopes in Portillo, Chile, for a practice run with the U.S. ski team
I've had a lot of setbacks in my career and a lot of injuries, but I can fight through pretty much anything. It's something that's always been in me. Most of the time, it's mind over matter, and I feel like my mind is pretty strong and pretty tough. My dad has tons of stories about how I was always the last one on the mountain when I was young, and I was really tough. So the training and the rehab in the gym, all that stuff's no problem. But to be on crutches and to need help from everyone all the time? I absolutely hated that.
Nov. 19
Reinjures her right knee at Copper Mountain in Colorado
Facebook status: … "Thank you all so much for your support and well-wishes. It has been a very difficult few days, and your positive messages have helped tremendously. Rehab is going well, and I am working as hard as I can to race in Lake Louise in a few weeks. Thank you again, I'm proud to have the best fans in the world! Love, Lindsey
PS: don't worry guys, this is only a temporary setback. Nothing will keep me from picking myself back up and continuing to fight for my dreams. #sochi2014 #whenyoufallgetbackup #notstopping #workinghard"

Kirsten Joyce loves brightening people's mornings as the early morning news anchor at 8 News NOW. She's been on air for nearly 20 years, and has always loved being part of a morning crew. Yes the hours are brutal, the alarm clock goes off in the middle of the night, but she adores her co-anchors and the fun they have throughout the morning.
She grew up on Mercer Island near Seattle, Washington and attended the University of Washington.
Her career kicked off as a one-man-band reporter in Eastern Washington, followed by some time in Spokane, where she covered the arrest and trial of Spokane's serial killer.
Kirsten couldn't pass up the wonderful opportunity to live in the Biggest Little City as the morning anchor at Reno's CBS affiliate from 2000-2006. Senator Harry Reid would join her on the set for many interviews back in those days.
She also had the wonderful experience to check out all that the beautiful state has to offer with special Get Out and Go reporting pieces that tested her skills as a rock-crawler, ice fisher, dog musher, snowmobiler and more. You name it, she's tried it.
Kirsten met her husband in Reno, and they got married in Lake Tahoe. But then it was off to Arizona, when she joined 3TV's Arizona's Family in Phoenix as a weekend anchor/reporter. "You haven't experienced heat until you've had your high heels melt into the concrete as you're getting prepared to do your live shot in 120 degree heat," she said.
Highlights include interviews with President Obama, Sheriff Joe Arpaio, Senator John McCain, and Janet Napolitano. In 2010, she had the opportunity to move home with a new job back in Seattle. Spending time with family and friends was certainly a treasure, but she is happy to switch out the nine months of rain for plenty of sun.
Kirsten and her husband are raising their two lovely daughters : one college age, and the other - a toddler. They love boating, traveling, wine tasting, finding new "happy hours", long walks with their dog, and discovering all the special things that make Nevada home.

NZD/USD is correcting up
Last week NZD/USD opened with a gap down below the 200-day MA ($0.8280) and lost more than 200 pips to $0.8060. This level represents an important support (50% Fibo of the advance from June 2012 low).
Today the pair has opened with a gap up and is now testing the levels above the 100-week MA at $0.8147.
Bank of America Merrill Lynch: NZD/USD risks a break of $0.8060, through which opens a way to $0.7840 (congestion since 2011). Yet, the trend of kiwi's weakness is extremely stretched and at increasing risk of a snap back. Much will depend on US (especially) and New Zealand's data this week.
Resistance: $0.8160, $0.8200/10 and $0.8280.
Support: $0.8060, $0.8000 and ultimately $0.7920.

it happens in 3's.
One more to go.
As for Blockbuster they all probably thought you were a LEO.
This is a discussion on Exposed weapon! within the Concealed Carry Issues & Discussions forums, part of the Defensive Carry Discussions category; I have been carrying off and on for about 9 years now. I have always been very discreet and never had an incident where someone ...
I have been carrying off and on for about 9 years now. I have always been very discreet and never had an incident where someone saw my weapon. But this week I have had 2 situations where my weapon was spotted.
The first was on Halloween night. My wife and I took our daughter to our friends parents house to trick or treat and they invited us in. I have been over before on numerous occasion and they are very nice people. And also very gun friendly. Their front room is full of trophies from various shooting competitions and the bathroom is always stocked full of gun related reading material. Despite this we never discussed CCW, I dont know if they carry, and they certainly dont know that I carry.
I was sitting in their very comfy recliner. The cushions are thick and deep and I completely sunk in. When I stood up to leave my shirt some got pulled up and my weapon was completely exposed for everyone in the room to see. Awkward. Our friend questioned me as to why I was carrying, but the mom quickly interjected and said I was doing the right thing. She totally defended me. Not another word was spoken about it and we went on our way.
The second incident was last night. My wife and I decide to go to blockbuster to rent a film. I had my weapon strong side, outside the waist band in a belt holster. On my week side I had 2 extra mags outside the waist band in a Galco pouch. I had a t-shirt tucked in and a button down dress shirt that I left un-buttoned and un-tucked. My rig was totally concealed with no printing.
It was a little chilly last night and blockbuster had their heat cranking. When I opened the door to the store the difference in air pressured caused a huge wind, grabbed my shirt and totally blew it up and exposed my whole rig. Several patrons and store employees looked at me like deers in headlights. Coincidently enough, several patrons who looked like gang banger want-to-bees promptly left the store.
I gapped my shirt, buttoned the bottom button and went about my business as though nothing happened. The whole time I was in the store I was nervous that the police would show up and harass me or even worse that those gang bangers would come back and try to prove something. But nothing happened. I got me movies and went home without a hitch.
This kind of stuff has never happened to me. Then all of a sudden it happens twice in one week! Maybe I am becoming complacent?
Has anything like this every happened to any of you?
Join the NRA!
The Second Amendment has nothing to do with hunting. It is about keeping the government in check. This requires that the citizenry is well armed and at all times has immediate access to arms.
it happens in 3's.
One more to go.
As for Blockbuster they all probably thought you were a LEO.
Gun control is hitting what you aim at
glad to hear everything went ok, for me, so far so good.but im sure
my day will come sometime.(and ofcourse at the worst possible moment).
(SHERIFF BUFORD T. JUSTICE) "what the hell is
the world coming too"
So far, I've always found it possible to have my cover garment buttoned or zipped, to avoid that. But, at some point it's going to happen, I'm sure of that. Much of the year, though, the simple step of keeping my hand in the pocket of the jacket serves to help keep that side down in the wind, maintaining concealment. Being a bit gimp in the hip, too, affords me a decent amount of "covering" movements that look innocent enough but serve to keep the garment in place, as folks are watching the hitch in my stride and not that my strong-side hand goes to the outside of the garment.
Your best weapon is your brain. Don't leave home without it.
Thoughts: Justifiable self defense (A.O.J.).
Explain: How does disarming victims reduce the number of victims?
Reason over Force: Why the Gun is Civilization (Marko Kloos).
Complacency? Perhaps a bit of that - something we all might be prone to after years of carry.
That said there are or will be those odd occasions when circumstances and the elements will get the better of you. Any risk of 'wind-blow', whether outside or going into a store always make me utilize the ''elbow-in-to-side'' approach as a precaution ..... or as CCW9 mentioned ........ doing up a bottom button or two.
Not infallible but - I think an approach based on assuming any situation will expose potentially - can then make for a strategy of just-in-case ..... using subtle methods that folks will not notice. Instance here the deep cushions problem in the recliner ........... assume getting up will expose things and so adopt a method to nullify any risk.
Twice in a short time is pure coincidence IMO but - reminders perhaps to be a tad more aware of potential problems of exposure and preempt them.

I agree no matter how careful you are it can happen to the best of us. About a year ago I was outside the shop, talking to a customer about their vehicle. I had my PT-145 in an OWB, with a t-shirt over it, with a button down shirt, untucked, over that. It hadn't been windy all day, when all of a sudden a gust of wind, blows both my shirts up and over the gun and holster. The customer looked at me kinda funny, I promptly pulled the shirts back down and kept on talking.
If you want a battle of the wit's, please come armed.

Bad week. Every once in a while I have the "shirt lifts up and snags on the gun" problem, but I just quickly straigten out my shirt and act naturally. Most people don't even know, they just think I am trying not to look like a slob.
Get in the habbit of buttoning the bottom buttons of your over shirt. The little bit of printing you have that way is far less than when you have your shirt fly open and clearly reveal everything. If you have to, buy some larger shirts. Don't be concerned about those 1 or 2 buttons slowing you down when you need to draw, I assure you that they will break off quite quickly as you reach for your gun.
I will support gun control when you can guarantee all guns are removed from this planet. That includes military and law enforcement. When you can accomplish that, then I will be the last person to lay down my gun. Then I will carry the weapon that replaces the gun.
Unfortunately, I work in a position where I under no circumstances could allow an accidental exposure to occur.
I have become very comfortable with using several shoulder holsters worn under a button dress shirt and tie. I admit it won't be the fastest draw. But better to have it with me than in the car. Also, I literally have practiced ripping my shirt open, popping the buttons, for an unanticipated draw situation.

I carry a .45 because they don't make a .46
I have never shown my pistol, but I was at an IHOP and while getting into the booth my kydex magazine pouch caught on the edge of the booth. It broke the pouch, rolling it in the middle of the aisle for everybody to see. I picked it up red faced and stuffed it in a pocket. Luckily, nobody said anything or even seemed to notice.
I've gotten into the habit of pulling my shirt down anytime I get out of a car or up from a seat. It prevents any problems.
About the worst thing to happen to me was in a restaurant. I had been sitting at a table and my Colt Commander XSE kind of wedged itself in one of the slats on the back of the chair. When I got up to leave, the chair was stuck to my pistol. So here I am standing up with a chair stuck to my waist. My wife was about to spazz out and one of the guys I was eating with started laughing and said " Man..you need to unholster that chair".
By then everyone in the whole place was looking. I calmly grabbed the chair with my right hand, unhooked it and put it where it belonged. Red faced I might add. I don't think anyone actually ever saw the gun, but it didn't take much imagination to figure it out either...

I've been an LEO for about 11 years, I have carried concealed most of that time. Let me tell you most people don't expect you to be carrying and if they see your gun won't mentally register that's what it actually is. Prime example: I attend college part-time at a local university (known for its rather liberal anti-gun, anti-GOP, etc. atmosphere). One day while taking my jacket off to sit in my seat for class, I realized that my sweater had ridden up over my OWB rig and my Glock 22. I didn't say anything and (casually) pulled the sweater down and sat in my seat. Honestly, people really don't expect to see it and thus don't notice it when they do.
Si vis pacem, parabellum
With all of the crap hanging form one waist nowadays(cellphones ,pagers,palm pilots) its not suprising.

Well, lesson learned. Stuff happens!
Like we used to say in the corps, "____ __, it don't mean nothin'!"
ALWAYS carry! - NEVER tell!

judgement to keep himself out of situations that would require a display of his
superior skills."

October 22nd, 1997, 2:52AMMature
He blinked.
He blinked again, his eyelid half shutting, almost squinting as something hit him in the back of the head.
The Teenage boy was distracted with his own thoughts, half attempting to write something in his notebook, a dream, a thought, a sketch, it didn't matter, he was always writing or drawing something.
Another thing hit him in the back of the head, the school bus rolled to a stop, the door swung open, and for a while, he simply stood there, mind groggy from having to get up early, watching with a kind of frozen fascination as the gray sky gradually started to warm up with the mornings sunrise.
The bus driver cleared his throat loud enough for the teen to take notice.
"Well?" She said impatiently, rapping the fingers on her right hand on the steering wheel.
He was scared, he looked behind him, his parents waiting expectantly for him to get on the bus. His little sister stood there, her Pink Ranger shirt hung loose, a straw in her left hand. She was only eight, he simply gulped.
"It'll be alright, you'll make lots of friends!" His dad chimed up, dark circles underneath his eyes from lack of sleep trying to get the details just right on his latest project.
He sighed, got down on a knee, and brought his nervous son in for a giant hug. "You'll be fine, after all, Grandpa is the vice principal! Though, you still need to behave..."
There was a slight darkness to his dads voice that always suggested something more sinister was going on, though, for the most part, it might've been the arguments he and their mother were having over grown up issues.
He nodded silently, not even sure how to respond, pushed his dad away, wiped a tear from his sisters eyes, smiled, and got on the bus. He made his way between the many rows of seats, nervous of touching anyone or anything. He desperately wanted to make a good impression on the other kids, but just couldn't find the voice.
He saw a few seats available, the half seat in the back, across from it was a girl who was staring out the window, her eyes seemed empty, or maybe it was just the amount of make up that she had applied, he couldn't figure it out.
A little closer was a seat, its occupant, a nervous looking kid, looking not much older than himself. He had on glasses, a Sonic the hedgehog lunchbox tightly gripped in his right hand, his left arm was wrapped in a cast.
The bandaging had many signatures and well wishes all around it, he sighed, looking around the school bus, finally locking his stark blue eyes with the boys own grey ones. closer up was the seat right next to the driver, it was empty, thought the seat behind it was occupied by a few rowdy kids that were laughing at some personal joke. He looked at the Driver, and she simply sighed, unbuckled her seat belt, and chose the seat with the nervous looking kid in it.
"Sit down, we're going to be late, this is my son, Ken. Make with the talking while I get you to school." she said grouchily, not wanting to be anymore late then was needed. "H-h-h-hi!" Ken meakly greeted the boy, putting his Sonic the Hedgehog lunchbox underneath his tightly bandaged arm. "Hey," he said in reply, his mind else where.
"S-s-s-so w-what's y-your name?" Ken asked, happy for any chance to talk to someone. "I'm Zikmund, it means victorious protector... You like Sonic?"
Ken smiled brightly, his blue eyes shining like great blue diamonds in the first rays of the summer sun. "I love Sonic! He's super cool! And he has these red running shoes that let him beat up robots! What about you? Do like Sonic too?"
Zikmund smiled, but shook his head, "No, I like Mario, he gets to save Princess Peach and beat up Bowser!" Ken looked defeated, but Zikmund clapped him on the back, "I bet if Mario and sonic teamed up against Bowser and Eggman, they'd be unstoppable! Did you know that Mario shoots fireballs?" He asked, he voice just a bit lower on the register.
"Yeah, Sonic turns into Super Sonic if he gets a chaos emerald! His hair goes fwoosh!" Ken energetically raised his healthy arm over his hair to make a point. The two boys continued to talk about the adventures of Mario and Sonic, and how cool it'd be if they teamed up on various adventures for the remainder of the ten minute bus ride to North Star Middle School.

Chris Dunsmore had everything he wanted - a good job, a fiancée, great family and friends. But the 29-year-old knew that when he was sent to Iraq in 2007 he might lose it all. And, as was typical for a man who tried his best in everything he did, he had a heart to heart with his father before he went.
Speaking ahead of a BBC 2 documentary being broadcast this week [20th] called 'Iraq: Did My Son Die In Vain?', in which he goes to Basra to try and make sense of what his son died for, Geoff Dunsmore, 58, recalls how the two made sure his son's "affairs were in order." Four months later Chris was dead.
Asked about the title of the film, he says "That's not my question, that's a question that other people have said to me many many times," and adds: "Never once have I felt it was a waste of time or that Chris gave his life for nothing, never once have I felt angry, because Chris was following his destiny."
It was "fate" that his son was "in the wrong place at the wrong time."
Mr Dunsmore is one of hundreds of British parents to have suffered the death of a child in Afghanistan and Iraq.
Chris Dunsmore was one of 179 British soldiers killed in Iraq, after the victorious invasion in 2003 descended into a bitter war of attrition with Iraqi militia.
The RAF reservist died on July 19, 2007 in a rocket attack on an accommodation hut in Basra which killed two others and left 15 wounded. The senior aircraftsman, from Leicester, was just hours away from coming home for two weeks leave. Instead he became the first RAF reservist to be killed in combat since the Second World War.
The Independent on Sunday can reveal, for the first time, diary entries made by Chris. They include his fear, on flying out on 26th March 2007, that he might not be coming back alive. "I could not stop worrying about not seeing family again." When he got to Basra everything was fine to start with, describing being out on patrol where children "hold their hands out to get a high five" and "The parents wave and the lads give the thumbs up."
But soon the mood changed, with Islamic militia fighting for control of the city: "Three IDF [indirect fire] attacks today and it's getting to be the norm now, but no-one killed, which is good."
And in an entry from the 18th April, he wrote: "I am lucky to be alive! A 120mm rocket landed 15 to 20 metres away from me and only about eight metres from some of the flight. I absolutely shit myself, as did everyone else, but amazingly, no-one was hurt… It's quite lucky, really. As we left to go on patrol, we had just driven out of the car park when a mortar and rocket hit just the other side of the gate where we were parked. We had just left. Got back to write this and there has just been another IDF which was close enough to hear the impact. What a day!!"
Three months later, Chris Dunsmore's luck ran out.
Ten years on from the invasion of Iraq, and five years after the death of his son, Geoff Dunsmore, a retired headmaster from Devon, visited the very spot where his son died in Basra. It was "very poignant" but the hut has long since gone and "it was more like a rubbish tip… I found it hard to relate to a place where Chris had been killed because of the nature of how it was looking"
He left a small cross, on which he had written the names of his son and the other who died, pinned to a nearby wall.
Whilst supporting the decision to invade Iraq, he thinks more time should have been taken to plan what would happen after Saddam Hussein was defeated. In the confusion that followed "I think that's where the real trouble started."
The government "underestimated the complexity" of being in Iraq, expecting the armed forces "to be peace makers, not just peace keepers," but a failure to plan properly for what to do after the invasion enabled the militia to get a foothold, he says.
Years on, Iraq remains in crisis, suffering from militia turf wars that are killing thousands every year, and basics such as electricity and water remain distant dreams for many Iraqis.
People in Basra feel "they'd been left in the lurch a little bit and I felt that too, in a way," and Mr Dunsmore wants the government to do more to help rebuild Iraq.
"All they've known and all their parents have known as they've grown up is war and conflict and they want a different life." Although "there is hope" the people of Iraq face a long road ahead, according to the retired headmaster.
"I think a lot of the problem is that they don't know what to do because they've never had this freedom so it's going to take time and it's going to need help."
And while the deaths of his son and others are "the most terrible thing" he takes comfort in believing "they've been part of the change, they've been the seed within the change in Iraq."
He feels that his son's presence is with him, citing things he "cannot explain" like a wall hanging crashing off the wall the evening he was told Chris had died. "I just jokingly turned to the captain and said 'Well, that's Chris coming home!'"
Mr Dunsmore is relentlessly optimistic - determined to live his life in tribute to his son - but cannot disguise his sadness as he recalls: "I found out after we lost him he'd actually put me down as his major inspiration for his life …it was on his Facebook, he put me down as his hero and his inspiration and I hadn't been aware of that."
One of the hardest things was feeling the loss of his son's fiancée Donna: "She was left with her dreams in tatters, her future, all the things they had planned."
As for himself: "I'll never be over it, I grieve every day but I grieve in a way that it is positive. It's positive pain, not negative pain, if that makes any sense."
The only other alternative, he says, "is to dig a hole, climb in it and cover yourself up and that is not the way forward" and he concludes: "What Chris and his colleagues have done is bring another way of living to some Iraqi people. I am not saying the whole of Iraq will be a different place yet, but the seed has been sown. I am very proud that my son was a part of that."Reuse content

Let us know when your receive great advice so we can thank our lawyers and point others with similar questions in the right direction.Got it!
Both parents are in jail & my grand daughter is in foster care with a hearing to appoint Director of CPS as temp managing conservator set in two days. Due to inaccurate and false information about me in the case investigators report, my GD was put in foster case instead of with me where she has lived almost all her life . My daughter came home to live with our GD when she was born, she's now a year old. I have standing and have prepared an intervening suit in SAPCR CPS filed which would put it directly before the judge. Most inaccurate info about me could be disputed by conflicting statements she put in her supporting affidavit. I'm unsure if her supervisors are aware her info about me is false, as they did approve her recommendation, so if I go to them 1st the truth may never be known
You should hire a lawyer. That's true anytime CPS is involved.
You have clearly done a lot of research but you still need professional help.
This answer DOES NOT establish an attorney-client relationship. This answer is based on the limited information provided and is not intended to be conclusive advice. There are likely other factors that might influence or change the advice after a more lengthy consultation.Ask a similar question
If only I could hire an attorney, but financially, it simply isn't possible right now. This isn't our first at bat with CPS and I'm dreading the game. I was hoping I could avoid court altogether by pointing out the contradicting statements in her Affidavit, to her supervisor(s). That would clear me of some of the accusations she made about me, but I don't know if that would be enough to get us a home study. My daughter may be court ordered into a rehab where she can have the baby with her(a good thing), however, in the interim the state is paying strangers to care for a child who should be home with her sister and her grandparents. We had to go to court to get the big sister back from a relative who took her a few years ago- so this is a nightmare for her, as well. Regardless, of what happens the next few days, I want the case worker reported - she needs to be in a different line of work.
I agree with the previous answer. These cases are complicated and you need an attorney to help you. Call some attorneys from this site to get price quotes and hire one ASAP to get that hearing continued. Best of luck!Ask a similar question
Maria is right, it looks like you have definitely done your homework but you would still definitely be well served by having a lawyer represent you. Dealing with CPS is not a level playing field for an unrepresented party - level the playing field by unleashing a lawyer.
Best of luck

Scene 3Mature
BETH sits in her office, scribbling notes on a piece of paper in a manila folder. Another nurse (NURSE #2) walks in, a look of slight distress on her face.
NURSE #2: That new girl--what's her disorder?
BETH, not looking up from her notes: She's a schizophrenic. You also might want to watch which drugs you give her. Beth looks up. Former drug addict. Pause. Why do you ask?
NURSE #2: She's been talking to herself for the past hour.
BETH sighs, a look of apprehension on her face.
BETH, heading out the door: I'm going to go see for myself. I'll be back.
Beth starts calmly down the hallway. Everything is silent for a few seconds, but JACKLYN comes out of her room and notices her walking. She goes to BETH, a slight smile on her face.
JACKLYN, lightheartedly: Hey, Pooface.
BETH: Jacklyn. With quite obviously fake friendliness: How are you doing?
JACKLYN, putting an arm around Beth: Just dandy! also said with fake friendliness. Pause. So what'cha doing?
BETH: None of your business, Jacklyn.
JACKLYN: Hey, man, we're friends, you can tell me.
BETH, as though she's disciplining a small child: No, Jacklyn.
JACKLYN takes her arm off Beth's shoulders, standing still in the middle of the hallway as BETH continues. She has a peeved look on her face as she stares at her coldly.
BETH reaches ALICE's room, where she sits on her bed in fetal position, desperately covering her face and muttering to herself.
BETH, firmly: Alice, get up.
ALICE jumps, then looks up, blinking confusedly a few times.
ALICE, pausing, then sounding offended: What?
BETH, ignoring her confusion (and question): Come on. Get up.
ALICE gets off the bed in a daze, not saying anything more.
BETH: Come with me.
ALICE and BETH go back into the hallway and into the bathroom, where BETH gestures to the sink.
BETH: Clean yourself up.
ALICE goes to the sink wordlessly, turning it on and splashing water on her face.
BETH: You can't act like this, Alice. You're throwing your life away; you need to get out. There's no way you can survive in this asylum.
ALICE stands up, her face still wet. She looks around, surprised by Beth's lecture.
BETH: This treatment is up to you. It's your choice to heal, to get better. Not ours. It's our job to take care of you, not to treat you, not to stop the hallucinations. It's your choice. If you don't stop, if you don't get better, you'll be here for the rest of your life. Pause. Like Jacklyn.
ALICE turns around, starting to speak, but quickly closing her mouth. BETH smiles.
BETH: Think about it.
Without saying goodbye, BETH leaves the room. ALICE is now alone, staring into the mirror for a second before leaving as well.

The shares of Tesla Motors Inc. dropped 14.3 percent on July 16, 2013 following a move by Goldman Sachs Group Inc. setting a new price target below the current trading price. In a broader research note on the automotive sector, Goldman Sachs analyst Patrick Archambault offered three different growth scenarios for Tesla and set a six-month price target of $84 per share.
He left unchanged his "neutral" rating on the stock. Tesla's shares dropped by $18.21 to close at $109.05 on Nasdaq. Tesla's shares had nearly quadrupled so far in 2013 until Monday. In one scenario, Archambault sees Tesla selling 105,000 cars -- including the Model S and a future smaller sedan -- with 14.6 percent operating margins and earnings per share of $5.99.
In the second scenario, he sees the carmaker selling 150,000 cars with 14.8 percent margins and earnings per share of $8.59. In the third scenario, Archambault sees Tesla selling 200,000 units with 15.2 percent margins and earnings per share of $11.69.
Archambault came up with the new price target of $84 by averaging out the three scenarios. Archambault said automotive stocks have underperformed the S&P 500 index by an average of 26 percent in three of the last four economic periods.
According to him, the auto sector has historically reached a peak of 65 percent of the way through an expansion. Archambault remarked he was now focused on General Motors Co. and Ford Motor Co, which he said has "strong product-driven growth stories in multiple regions."

Viking Yachts cuts 70 jobs, cites slowing productionPosted on
Viking Yachts has eliminated around 70 positions and placed another 75 employees on furlough for two to six weeks, director of communications Peter Frederiksen told Soundings Trade Only.
Frederiksen said about 20 administrative posts were eliminated, along with about 50 production jobs. The layoffs have been ongoing at the New Gretna, N.J., boatbuilder.
Weve had to cut back because were just not in a growth market anymore, he said, adding that the company still employs nearly 1,400 people.
Our backlog is down a little bit, but over the last two months we did sell some 50s and some 54s, and [Monday] is the first time since I think mid-July when the oil prices actually went down to their pre-July levels, Frederiksen said. There are little nuggets of sunshine, so hopefully this is a sign of things to change.
The companys international sales, he noted, have increased from about 5 percent of sales in 2005 to more than 30 percent in 2008.
The furloughs were done to accommodate the builder as it moves the production of four boat lines around, including moving two lines into a new building. Frederiksen said he expects the furloughed workers to be back on the job after the Fort Lauderdale International Boat Show, which runs Oct. 30-Nov. 3.
Frederiksen said the company is hopeful it will not need additional layoffs.
Right now we seem to be in a holding pattern, and we hope we can hang on to this for a while, he said. Were hoping this gets us through.

Food - Ḥalāl So eat of the halal and good food God has provided for you, if it is indeed Him whom you serve. He has forbidden to you only carrion, blood, the flesh of pigs and that which has been offered to something other than God. But if one is compelled against one's will and without transgressing, God is forgiving and merciful. (Qur'an 16:114, cf. 5:3-5 for more detail) Eat of that over which the name of God has been pronounced, if you are believers in His Signs (āyāt). (Qur'an 6:119) Food - Ḥalāl Shaddad b. Aws said: Two are the things which I remember Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) having said: Verily Allah has enjoined goodness to everything; so when you kill, kill in a good way and when you slaughter, slaughter in a good way. So every one of you should sharpen his knife, and let the slaughtered animal die comfortably. (Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim, trans., A.H. Siddiqi, Vol. III, pp.1078 #4810) Certain animals (and products from them) are forbidden. Other animals must be slaughtered in a particular way. The actual rules are quite detailed and require appropriate expertise.

BRITAIN'S Got Talent finalist Jonathan Antoine is being groomed as the British
Pavarotti – after a masterclass with the late opera giant's vocal coach.
Roly-poly Jonathan and sidekick Charlotte Jaconelli visited composer Leone
Magiera for tips as they launched their debut album in September. The
session is shown tonight at 9pm on ITV1 documentary Jonathan &
Charlotte. It charts the pair's rise to fame.
Jonathan also visits Pavarotti's tomb and finds he shares a birthday with the
legend's son Ricardo, who died in infancy.
Jonathan said: "Having the success and voice Pavarotti had is the ultimate
goal – but it would be a very tough job."

Impact of working memory burden and contextualization on cognitive complexity
Morrison, Kristin M.
MetadataShow full item record
Contextualization is often added to mathematical achievement items to place targeted mathematical operations in a real world context or in combinations with other mathematical skills. Such items may have unintended sources of difficulty, such as greater cognitive complexity than specified in the test blueprint. These types of items are being introduced to achievement exams through assessment programs such as SBAC and PARCC. Cognitive models have been created to assess sources of cognitive complexity in mathematics items, including a global model (Embretson&Daniel, 2008) and an adapted model (Lutz, Embretson,&Poggio, 2010). The current study proposes a new cognitive model structured around sources of working memory burden with an emphasis on contextualization. Full-information item response (IRT) models were applied to a state accountability test of mathematics achievement in middle school to examine impact on psychometric properties related to burden on working memory.

Made in Italy 14K Tri-Color Gold Diamond-Cut Oval 3.9mm Link Chain Necklace1764373
web ID: 2816203
This beautiful oval chain strikes a lovely balance with yellow, white and rose gold. Diamond cut for extra sparkle in 14K gold.
Metal: 14K tri-color gold
Closure: Spring-ring
Length: 18"
Jewelry photos are enlarged to show detail.
Rated 1 out of 5 by LadyNRed from Poor Quality; Broke the Fifth Time I Wore It; Save Your Money This beautiful necklace sparkles from every angle. I loved that it was 14k tri-color gold and dainty. Unfortunately, I only wore it five times before its link broke near the clasp. I am very gentle with my jewelry. I was wearing my hair pinned up in a twist and was wearing a strapless sundress, so 14K Tri-Color Gold Diamond-Cut Oval 3.9mm Link Chain Necklace literally broke for no reason. Nothing came in contact with this piece when it snapped in half and fell off my neck. I was heartbroken and wished that I spent my money on a more substantial piece of jewelry that I could have enjoyed for the rest of my life...not five times.

Rated 5 out of 5 by Jaelie from What a beautiful necklace! So I came into JCPenney looking for some diamond stud earrings and as I was walking to the cash register to price out some earrings with the attendant, I saw this necklace. The decision to purchase it was honestly made once I saw it, but the price (happened to come in on a great sale day) on top of it just helped convince me that I had to have it. It is comfortable, doesn't pinch my neck in any way, and shines in every light just as much as it does in the staged lighting in the store. Would DEFINITELY recommend it.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Dflan34 from Beautiful! This necklace met my expectations. It is a gorgeous necklace, the diamond cut on the ovals really makes this necklace sparkle! While the chain is a bit smaller/thinner than I expected it to be, it's not as big of a deal on this as it still seems to be somewhat durable. I have worn it a couple times and just love it! I added a light pendant to it and it seems to be holding up great to the extra weight as well.

Rated 1 out of 5 by Mendocinodreamin from Do not buy! I purchased this chain about 6 months ago. Have worn it a few times (maybe a dozen). It has already broken at the clasp! So, it is unwearable and I'm stuck with a piece of junk, since I can't return it at this point. Don't buy this. It's very poor quality.

Craig Custance (1:00 PM)
Hey everyone! Time for another weekly hockey chat. Let's talk playoffs, off-season moves, trades, anything! Let's dive right in.
Ed (Queens Village)
Which team down 2-0 has good chance of winning next 2 games to make it a best of 3?
Craig Custance (1:03 PM)
Ed - Great question. For me, the better shot goes to the Kings. The Blackhawks won two games at home, that's what they're supposed to do. The Penguins, meanwhile, lost two games at home. That's a disaster. It's hard to find any positives about PIttsburgh's play right now. Of the two, the Kings have a much better chance of fighting back into the series. Especially considering Quick is a competitor more than capable of carrying his team back into this series.
Alex (Anaheim)
How likely is a Chicago sweep?
Craig Custance (1:03 PM)
Highly unlikely.
Chris (Chicago)
Was there a better thing to come out of the 04-05 lockout than the elimination of the 2 line pass? I can't even remember how teams got odd-man opportunities when that was a rule.
Craig Custance (1:04 PM)
You mean, besides the shootout?
Pat (Chicago)
With how dominant the Kings (and Quick) have been in the Staples Center, do you think the Blackhawks can come away with one win in LA and shorten this series?
Craig Custance (1:05 PM)
This series is far from over, but I think Chicago is certainly capable of stealing one on the road. ONe of the big differences between this year's Kings team and last year's Kings team is health. They essentially won the Cup without any major issues health-wise. I'm concerned at how banged up LA is. They have a lot more mileage on them this post-season, something in which the Blackhawks can capitalize.
Thomas G. Pittsburgh [via mobile]
What are the chances that the penguins come back in the series?
Craig Custance (1:07 PM)
As good as the Bruins have looked, they have a history of letting teams back into a series. Maybe that's helped them learn the value of a killer instinct but Pittsburgh has too much talent to just write them off after two games.
Dan Bylsma (Pittsburgh, PA)
Craig, as I am sure you know, my biggest goaltending nightmares are now coming home to roost. Who the heck should I start in Game 3? Vokoun has not played badly against Boston but he has not played great either. Yesterday was more of a mercy pulling/momentum changer rather than a reflection of poor play. But then Fleury went in there and proceeded to let in an absolute backbreaker late in the period on a straight wrist-shot from the wing that HAS to be stopped in a playoff game. If Fleury starts Game 3 and steals it, that gives our team a huge boost. But if he is terrible again and lets in a softie on the first shot of the game (something he does often)...then our season is over. Is Vokoun still the more safe pick?
Craig Custance (1:09 PM)
Dan,Glad you turned to me for advice. I think you go back to Vokoun. yes, some of the rebounds have been questionable but he's been pretty rock solid in these playoffs and that's what the Penguins need right now. If Fleury had shown more in his opportunity yesterday, maybe there'd be a case for him. But he do anything that makes me think he earned the job back. I'd go back to Vokoun.
Adam (Toronto)
Just curious as to your thoughts on Adam Larsson. When NJ drafted him, all everyone said was he was the most NHL ready player in the draft and he could step in from day 1 and play. Did everyone jump the gun, is he just not that good or am I, and other Devils fans just being too hard on the kid, expecting too much too soon?
Craig Custance (1:11 PM)
Adam - He's a 20-year old defenseman who has played essentially a season and a half. WAY to early to make any judgments there. Look at Victor Hedman, he's still growing as a player and he's got a couple years on Larsson. You need patience with a young defenseman like this.
Dom (NY)
Why play the entire season with 1 set of rules and then in game 7's the refs put away there whistle's and " let the players decide the game"? By putting away the whistle THEY ARE DECIDING THE GAME!!. I'm neither a Red Wing Or Black hawk fan but those officials helped decide that game by calling nothing and then they waive off a potential series ending goal by making a call that they shouldn't have. Call the game the same all year.Your thoughts?
Craig Custance (1:14 PM)
Dom - I hear you, that's such a tough thing. I get the notion that you don't want to start calling ticky tack penalties in a tight playoff game. For me, I'd rather the refs err on the side of no-calls than call a game like it's October 15th or something. Maybe that's just how it's always been but I definitely see the frustration. I was at the United Center for the goal you're talking about and if Detroit had scored 30 seconds later, it would have been pandemonium. There were some ANGRY fans in that building.
Chris Fiegler (Latham,NY)
Who do you think will be the 2013 Stanley Cup Champions?
Craig Custance (1:15 PM)
My pick before the playoffs started was the Blackhawks in 7 over the Bruins. I'm sticking with that.
Justin (Georgia)
Do you think the Pens are going to retain the "NEW GUYS" that we picked up at the deadline? If so, how? If not, who gets the boot?
Craig Custance (1:16 PM)
Don't think there's room for everybody to stick around. What happens this summer may very well be dictated on how the Penguins respond to this series hole. Hard to justify bringing everybody back if the postseason is deemed a failure.
Lou (Pittsburgh)
It's rare to see/hear this in the NHL, but I think the officiating in the B's-Pens series has been almost flawless. Sure, Cooke probably didn't deserve a game misconduct in game one (or Marchand should have received the same), but other than that issue, the refs have called the right infractions and used good sense when to let stuff go uncalled. Thoughts?
Craig Custance (1:18 PM)
Lou - I'm with you. And I think it's worth pointing out since the officiating has gotten hammered when things haven't gone well. It's such a fine line and a tough call in real-time so I'm not one to typically pile on the refs. I wouldn't want their job.
Dan (Boston)
As an insider, did anyone in the media call the Boston Pittsburgh series starting like this?
Craig Custance (1:19 PM)
Dan - I picked the Bruins to win the series (in 7) but I don't think anybody anticipated this kind of dominance early from Boston. There's still a lot of series to go though, not ready to give up on my seven-game prediction.
Chris (Louisville)
Hi Craig, it seems everyone agrees who the Top 3 picks are in this year?s draft. But I?m wondering what my Preds do with the fourth pick. Go for Barkov? Take a chance on Nichushkin despite the Radulov debacle? Trade for a roster player? What?s your take?
Craig Custance (1:22 PM)
Chris - Your Preds are in a very good spot. The general belief is that some combination of Drouin, MacKinnon and Jones will go in the top three, but after talking to scouts/execs at the combine, I'm wouldn't be surprised if one of the two guys you mentioned jumped into the top three. That'd be just fine for Nashville, who could use an elite scorer like Drouin. If the top three goes as expected, I would be shocked if Nashville didn't grab Barkov. Big center who is playing well against men. That's a great pick for them, unless they get overwhelmed with a trade offer to move down.
Vincent (NJ)
Is the switch to quasi-division playoffs next year more likely to foster interesting rivalries or would seeing the same match-up permutations year after year get old?
Craig Custance (1:24 PM)
Vincent - To me, you can do all the realigning you want or set divisions up any way you want, but truly the only way meaningful rivalries are developed are in the playoffs. Nothing sparks a rivalry like a heated 7-game series.
Anthony (NYC)
Craig, who do you like for the next NYR coach and do you see them moving any of their d line depth for a front line center?
Craig Custance (1:26 PM)
Anthony - I know Messier is a beloved icon in NY but to me, the better hire would be an experienced coach. I think ALain Vigneault would be the perfect fit for the Rangers. He'd open things up offensively for them and is one of the most respected coaches in the league. You remove a lot of risk by hiring him.
GBK (Lincoln Park)
Craig, what do you think the Red Wings will do this summer? I'd like to see them add a veteran defenseman, and let go of guys like Bertuzzi, Samuelsson and maybe even Tootoo, who is fine in the regular season but not in the playoffs. What big free agents are out there and how will the cap shrinking change how teams approach free agency?
Craig Custance (1:28 PM)
GBK - Interesting off-season ahead for Detroit. If they let Filppula, which is a possibility, they have some money to spend in free agency. They want to keep some spots open for their good young talent, but they could really use a scorer on the wing. I like Nathan Horton as an option for Detroit. A guy like Bickell would appeal to Babcock too. Big body, banger, who can score.
sansjj (Celina TX)
1st 2 hire's in the NBA Have been assistant coaches. Except for Curt Frasor here in Dallas they have been overlooked in the NHL, Why and is there a Head coaching candidate from the assistant on the Final Four teams
Craig Custance (1:30 PM)
Interesting question. I think the Kings have two assistants who will get another shot at head coach in Davis Payne and John Stevens. Notice that teams who have fired their coaches aren't rushing to make hires (aside from Buffalo's decision to lift the interim tag from Rolston. Not sure what the rush was there). They could be waiting until these four teams are done.
JW (Chicago)
Stalberg, Kruger, Leddy, Handzus, Rozsival, Bickell and Emery are all restricted or unrestricted free agents at the end of the year. With the Hawks signing Antti Raanta, it looks like Emery is out. I think they resign Bickell, Leddy and Kruger. Your thoughts?
Craig Custance (1:32 PM)
JW - I agree. I think Emery is gone. No room to keep him, he'll get paid elsewhere. I think they'll get their RFAs done too - Leddy and Kruger. If they want to keep Bickell, they'll have to move some bodies. With the cap coming down and his huge postseason, he's going to get a big raise. I'm guessing in the $3 million per season range. If that's the case, they can't afford him right now.
Lou (Pittsburgh)
Claude Julien has pushed and pulled all the right levers so far in the B's-Pens series. How much pressure in on him to make sure his team goes for the jugular in Boston, where he can dictate the matchups with last-change options at home?
Craig Custance (1:33 PM)
To me, there's much more pressure on Dan Bylsma who doesn't want to answer questions about another lost postseason. But yeah, the Bruins don't want to let Pittsburgh back into this thing.
Tom (DC)
Anybody really think Letang is a legit contender for the Norris after the last two games?
Craig Custance (1:35 PM)
VOters don't have the luxury of weighing in the postseason play before turning in the ballots and you can't deny the outstanding season Letang had when he was healthy this year. Can't forget those are regular season awards.
Bob (Boston)
What are your thoughts on Seguin still being down on the (far) less talented third line while Jagr coasts along on line 1a with Bergeron and Marchand?
Craig Custance (1:37 PM)
It's hard to be critical of a team that's up 2-0 but if we're nitpicking, I'd like to see Seguin's role expanded and Jagr moved down the depth chart a little bit. But then again, I'm not coaching a team that is two wins away from the Stanley Cup finals.
Mark Messier (New York City)
Craig, does the risk outweigh the reward for me potentially becoming the next head coach of the Rangers? I am already an all time legend that can practically walk on water to Rangers fans. If I get the job and deliver a Cup, then I am a mega-legend that can also fly and cure the blind. But if I take the job and bomb (cough...Gretzky in Phoenix....cough) and have to get fired or part on bad terms, that might tarnish my reputation at the Garden.
Craig Custance (1:39 PM)
Exactly. And coaching isn't easy. Messier would go against guys have eat, drink and sleep coaching and have been doing it for years. Messier may be the biggest competitor in the world but who do you honestly think wins a tactical in-game battle between him and Mike Babcock? And then, if it doesn't work, how do you fire Mark Messier? I definitely don't think the risk outweighs the reward in this case, especially considering the coaches on the market.
Tim (New York)
Do you think the dominance the Bruins have shown against the Pens so far in the Conference Finals is making Sather re-think his assessment of Torts' coaching performance during the Conference Semis? With the exception of Game 2, the Rangers were in every game of that series.
Craig Custance (1:41 PM)
Tim - I can tell you this - I spoke to a number of people around the league after Tortorella was fired and there wasn't a single one who thought he wouldn't coach again in the NHL if he wants. If the players truly soured on him in NY, it might have been time to let him go. But that doesn't mean he isn't a good to great coach. My guess is he'll be back and he'll do well in his next stop, especially if it's in a smaller market.
David (New York)
To Tom in DC, we all know the Norris isn't for truly the best dman, it's for a good dman who puts up points.
Craig Custance (1:42 PM)
David is right to some extent. Being able to produce offensively is part of the consideration. I think it'd be cool if they had an award to best defensive defenseman. We should make that happen.
Rob (Chicago)
The Stephen Walkom call in game 7 of the Detroit/Chicago series was one of the worst calls I've ever seen in hockey. I know he has a good reputation but how is this guy still refereeing games with such a major error.
Craig Custance (1:44 PM)
Rob - If you remember, there was that play along the boards where Filppula was hurt and I think he was trying to avoid another situation like that. He had no way of knowing the call was going to wipe out a goal. The whistle clearly blew before the goal and everyone I talked to on both benches heard it and realized the goal wasn't going to count.
Matt (Washington, DC)
Any chance Bolland gets moved to make room for the Hawks' pending RFAs and UFAs? He's been next to useless in the postseason, which was always his calling-card.
Craig Custance (1:45 PM)
Matt - I think it's safe to assume he's not 100 percent but I agree. With the cap coming down and so many guys to sign, spending $3 million plus on a third-line center is a luxury they may not be able to afford. They can also retain some of that salary to help expedite a trade if need be.
Chris (MD)
How bad are the new Hurricanes uniforms?
Craig Custance (1:46 PM)
Not a fan? Very reminiscent of Team Canada.
jc (tinley park)
who do you think deserves considerations for Conn Smythe now.. Quick or Crawford, Keith....
Craig Custance (1:48 PM)
Those are some good options, but don't overlook the Bruins. Tuukka Rask is making his case and David Krejci might just be the front-runner right now.
Danny (Boston)
Any chance at Rask for the Conn Smythe he's putting up some great numbers and has kept Boston in it so far.
Craig Custance (1:49 PM)
Yup. His case is getting stronger and stronger.
Imre (Missoula)
Thoughts on the Antti Raanta signing by the Hawks? Quite the coup it seems, as other teams were hot after him...
Craig Custance (1:51 PM)
Great signing. I know the Wild were very interested and there were reports that the Oilers were too. He's still young and inexperienced so you want to ease him in next season. I spoke with one GM who said the perfect number of starts for him would be about 20. And, if he earns the backup job behind Crawford, the Blackhawks have one of the league's most affordable goaltending duos. Give Stan Bowman a lot of credit for landing this one.
Timmy G. (Clovis, CA)
So is Havlat bought out or do the Sharks try to trade someone like Boyle or Marleau?
Craig Custance (1:53 PM)
Timmy - Doug Wilson has historically been very careful managing the money in San Jose. He's not a GM who typically buys players out or buries money in the minors. They have good ownership but it's not like it's NY or Philly so I don't know if he'll have the green light for an expensive buyout. I really liked how San Jose played down the stretch but if he can get a big return for Boyle, I think that's an area that will be explored.
Joe (East Lansing MI)
As a wings fan I have been watching the phoenix situation closely. If the new ownership cant get a lease deal with Glendale and moves to Canada, it has been speculated that a new canada team will get our spot in the east and keep Detroit in the West, likely in the Nash/Chi/Dallas etc division. Overanalysis or legitimate concern?
Craig Custance (1:55 PM)
Overanalysis. If the team leaves Glendale, my money is on Seattle. And that wouldn't impact Detroit at all.
Sid (Canada)
Do you think Subban will win the norris or do you thing it Letang?
Craig Custance (1:55 PM)
I voted for Suter. It's going to be a tight race between all three.
Andre [via mobile]
Hi Craig What kind of big moves do you see islanders making in offseason. Vanek, Bobby Ryan, or on defenseman like Edler. They need make a big move to take next step. Otherwise it will look like the owner does not want to spend money again
Craig Custance (1:57 PM)
Andre - With news surfacing today that Streit is leaving per Newsday, they have to do something fairly big just to replace him. I don't think Anaheim is too eager to move Bobby Ryan. Edler is an interesting option. Vancouver needs to get younger and move some money, so if there's a package of prospects you can send to Mike Gillis, it might make sense. But I'm with you, it's time for ownership to make the necessary commitments for this talented to take the next step.

Could we at least get rid of the trapezoid when a team is on the power play?
Craig Custance (1:58 PM)
I'm in favor of getting rid of it completely, so you won't get an argument from me. Might help save wear and tear on defensemen retrieving the puck if the goalie can help out.

People thought Toronto signing Jonas Gustavsson was a big deal when that happened too. How has that worked out?
Craig Custance (2:01 PM)
True but you can't pin his lack of success on every European goalie who signs with an NHL team. All indications are that Raanta is ready to be a legit NHL goalie. He's not big and he's inexperienced but it's a bit unfair write him off because another goalie didn't succeed.
Craig Custance (2:02 PM)
Alright everyone, thanks for the questions! Enjoy the game tonight!

You know how I keep going on about new projects? New blog topics, new novels I'm going to write, new fitness regimes that are going to make me look like Cameron Diaz… I even toyed with the idea of writing my own cookbook for a while.
