Yancy Gates and Dion Dixon have been UC Bearcats for the last 1,252 days. Sometime in the next 41 days, their college careers will be finished.
"Time flies," said Dixon. "I can remember my freshman year like it was yesterday."
"We talk about how we came in together and everybody
said we were 'The Inseparables' because we go to class together, practice
together, everything," said Gates. "Now
we're about to be on our way out together - it's crazy."
Their reasons for coming to Cincinnati were different. In Dixon's case, the rebuilding Bearcats offered an opportunity to play right away in the nation's best conference.
"I felt like I could come here and play, and I felt like they needed me to play right away to help the team," said Dixon. "I thought that I could come here and have a good career and it turned out well."
For Gates, the former Withrow High School star, it was the opportunity to help put UC basketball back on the map after the turmoil that resulted from the ouster of Bob Huggins.
"Rebuilding the program was the main thing for me," Gates told me. "When Coach Cronin was recruiting me, that's all that we talked about. I told him that I was willing to come in and do whatever I needed to do to help, whether it was hosting recruits when they came here, or playing my game. That's been really big for me - especially being from here - helping to get the program in my home city back on track."
Gates and Dixon helped the Bearcats return to the NCAA Tournament as juniors, and are determined to return to March Madness as seniors. As much as they try to focus on the next game, it's hard to ignore the various bracketologists that have Cincinnati listed as a bubble team.
"I know for me, that it's kind of hard not to pay attention to it - especially as a senior," said Gates. "You're constantly looking at where you stand and what you have to do to improve your status and try to make the tournament."
"We don't know if we are in or not right now, so we feel like our backs are against the wall and we have to win out," said Dixon.
Their fate is in their own hands. Cincinnati's next three games are against teams that are currently in the Top 50 of the RPI (Louisville-21, USF-50, Marquette-8), followed by a difficult road game at Villanova on Senior Day.
"We're looking at these games as must-wins," said Dixon. "We don't want to leave any doubt in anybody's minds."
"We feel we're capable of pulling these last four games out, so that's been our big focus," said Gates.
Realistically, the 'Cats probably need to win at least two of their last four games, and a win on Thursday night over 17th-ranked Louisville would be great for their tournament resume.
"Nine o'clock...ESPN...it's hard not to be excited about it," said Gates. "And it's Louisville - college basketball at its best."
"Everything is on the line...identical records...this is what it's all about," said Dixon. "You work all year for this."
By then, they will have worked for 1,254 days.
Cincinnati's non-conference strength of schedule has been a major topic of conversation in recent weeks, and one thing that would have helped it considerably, was if Coach Cronin had gotten his wish in the Big East/SEC Challenge.
"We were tabbed to be a road team and we were slated to play Georgia," said Cronin. "I lobbied and requested to play Kentucky or Alabama - the two highest-rated SEC teams that were scheduled to play at home in that challenge. But ESPN gets to pick that, and I was upset with the Big East because I didn't think that they fought hard enough. They sent St. John's to the wolves at Kentucky, and I thought that was unfair to those kids because they have a team with no experience. I thought our league should have been stronger and never let that happen. Especially when you have a coach 75 miles from Lexington that's saying, 'I'll go down and play 'em win, lose, or draw.'"
One way to boost the non-conference RPI is to play tough opponents in early-season tournaments and the Bearcats are scheduled to do that next season.
"Next year at Thanksgiving, we'll be in Las Vegas playing Iowa State in our first game and then either Oregon or UNLV in the second game," said Coach Cronin. "So we'll have a chance to get some decent wins early and establish our RPI."

Your budget seems to be under $900. which leaves a lot of choices to conciser. So if I had that much saved up I'd start with looking at the Sig's. They Have a couple nice 9mm's and .380's in the size you're looking for. Then I'd compare them to a Ruger .380 LCP and an S&W M&P 9mm Shield. Then try to shoot them and see how they fit & feel in YOUR hand.
The posters can make suggestions on what WE like but it's like buying a pair of shoes. You have to try um on to see if they fit YOU. I might like Billie-Bob shoes but, they don't fit you comfortably so you like Bob-Billie shoes.
So I'd suggest a 9mm or .380 Sig, 9mm S&W-M&P Shield, or .380 Ruger LCP < final answers
Good-Luck in your search I'm sure you'll find something to fill the void.

ESPN's NFL Nation conducted a survey of 320 players with Minnesota Vikings running back Adrian Peterson receiving the most votes among his peers as the active player they would most like to see play in the Super Bowl.
Interestingly, of the 10 Chicago Bears surveyed in the poll, only one picked Peterson. Houston Texans receiver Andre Johnson was the top vote getter in Chicago. But that doesn't mean Peterson isn't respected by the Bears.
"I think more than his run ability is his will," Bears coach Marc Trestman said in November. "His will and determination is so apparent on every single run. His passion for what he does, his job. I don't know if there's anybody in the league who expresses that any better and that relentlessness and love of the game. Certainly there are guys who do just as much, but nobody more than Adrian Peterson. That's what stands out to me.
"We've seen a lot of running backs come and go, and he's certainly one of the greatest to ever play the game. Some of us have seen a lot of running backs over the last 50 years in the National Football League, and he has to be one of the best. But it's his will, his determination, the things that go beyond his ability that really stand out to me."
As do Peterson's numbers against the Bears. In 12 games against Chicago, Peterson is 6-6, but he has rushed for 1,396 yards and 14 touchdowns for an average of 116.3 yards per game. Peterson has scored a total of 84 points against Chicago, which is the most he's scored against any opponent.
In two games against the Bears in 2013, Peterson carried 61 times for 311 yards, which included a 211-yard performance during a 23-20 Vikings overtime victory Dec. 1.
Peterson admitted "it makes me feel pretty good" that he can still excel despite defenses consistently loading up to stop him.
"It feels good, but it feels like another play because I've been dealing with it for so long," Peterson said.
Bears receiver Brandon Marshall received two votes from his peers, and defensive end Julius Peppers received one vote in the NFL Nation survey.

The Redbone Coonhound is a mighty handsome dog, with his dark, rich, mahogany-red coat. He descends from Foxhounds, Bloodhounds and possibly Irish hounds, from whom he likely takes his striking color. You may know of the breed if you've read Where the Red Fern Grows; Little Ann and Old Dan were both Redbones. Here's what you need to know if you're interested in acquiring one of these sociable, interesting dogs.
Merry and gentle, Redbones are probably the most laidback and easy to handle of the Coonhound breeds, although there's no denying that they have an independent hound nature and a strong desire to tree furry animals. They make good companions, being friendly and loyal, and they have a talent for providing comic relief. Like most hounds, they are original, creative thinkers and have perfected a look of innocence when caught doing something they shouldn't.
A Redbone can be a child's best friend, but if you have toddlers, consider adopting an adult dog, who will be less rambunctious than a puppy.
Redbones can get along well with other animals, cats included, especially if they are brought up with them. The Redbone has athletic ability to spare and his exercise needs are met with a couple of long walks or runs daily. They'll also appreciate the opportunity to run in a safely enclosed area once or twice a week and are excellent water dogs. Remember that a tired Redbone is a good Redbone.
Always walk your Redbone on leash to ensure that he doesn't run off after an interesting scent. He also needs a securely fenced yard to keep him contained when you're not home. He loves to hunt and will go off on his own if given half a chance.
Redbones can adapt to living indoors or outdoors, but they appreciate soft furniture and air conditioning just as much as anyone else. They also love their people and will pine without human companionship. There's no point in having a Coonhound if you're just going to stick him out in the backyard all by his lonesome.
A Redbone needs plenty of companionship and activity to be happy. Even if you don't hunt him, consider getting involved in tracking or search and rescue. He's also a great hiking companion, able to navigate any kind of terrain, from swamps to steep, rocky ground.
Depending on gender, with females being smaller, the Redbone stands 21 to 27 inches tall. He has a smooth, easy-care coat that needs only a weekly brushing with a rubber curry. The only other grooming he needs is regular nail trimming, ear cleaning and tooth brushing.
Be aware that scenthounds such as the Redbone can have what is often described as a musty scent. Regular baths can help keep the odor under control, but it's something you should be prepared to live with.
The drawbacks? Redbones can be loud and stubborn. To people who love him, the Redbone has a sweet, musical voice, but it carries. Unless you live about five miles from your nearest neighbors, they're going to hear your Redbone when he gets excited about finding a good scent.
As far as training, hounds are independent thinkers and like to do things their own way. They have a short attention span because their interest is always being captured by a scent they'd like to check out. Assume that if your Redbone's nose is down, his ears are closed. Begin training early, keep training sessions short, and use positive reinforcement techniques, never force. The Redbone especially appreciates food rewards.
Because the puppies are extremely appealing, be on the lookout for puppy millers and irresponsible breeders. They'll be very happy to cash your check or run your charge card, but not so happy to answer your questions about health testing and temperament in their dogs.
All purebred dogs have the potential to develop genetic health problems, just as all people have the potential to inherit a particular disease. Run, don't walk, from any breeder who does not offer a health guarantee on puppies, who tells you that the breed is 100 percent healthy and has no known problems, or who tells you that her puppies are isolated from the main part of the household for health reasons. A reputable breeder will be honest and open about health problems in the breed and the incidence with which they occur in her lines.
Redbone Coonhounds are generally healthy and have a long lifespan, but a few have been diagnosed with hip dysplasia. More likely, they may sustain injuries in the field while hunting. Even raccoons are capable of doing some damage to a dog.
With their floppy ears they can be prone to ear infections. Check the ears weekly, clean them if necessary, and keep them dry to eliminate the warm, moist environment in which yeast and bacteria thrive. This breed is also prone to obesity, so take care not to overfeed them, which can exacerbate joint problems and contribute to diseases such as diabetes.
Choose a breeder who can provide you with written documentation that both of a puppy's parents had hip radiographs (x-rays) that received scores of fair, good or excellent from the Orthopedic Foundation for Animals. A bonus would be a clearance from the Canine Eye Registry Foundation and an OFA cardiac clearance. Having dogs "vet checked" is not a substitute for genetic health testing.
Pet insurance for Redbones costs more than for mixed breed dogs. This is because Redbones are more likely than mixed breed dogs to make claims for hereditary conditions that are expensive to treat.
Embrace pet insurance plans offer full coverage for all breed-specific conditions (excluding those that are pre-existing) to which Redbones are susceptible. The best time to get pet insurance for your Redbone is when he's a healthy puppy. You can't predict what will happen in the future, and pet insurance is the one thing you can't get when you need it the most.

Directors of Money Centre, which operated two outlets in London, are to appoint an administrator after promises of around £2m in new investment failed to come through.
British-born Bond, who was released from a Western Australia prison in March 2000 after serving just over three years over a A$1.2bn (£441m) fraud, moved to London to oversee his new venture, put together by a Perth property developer he met in prison. He also participated in a Cowes regatta last year to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the America's Cup, won by his syndicate in 1983.
The Money Centre is modelled on a controversial Australian loan franchise called ChequExchange, whose parent company is also in liquidation. Bond and his partners paid A$1.05m in 2000 for the British master franchise for the operation.Reuse content

An $82 million Rothko leads Christie's $659 million contemporary art sale
By Chris Michaud
NEW YORK (Reuters) - Mark Rothko's muted-hued canvas "No. 10" soared to $81.9 million on Wednesday, leading Christie's marathon sale of post-war and contemporary art, which took in $658.5 million and set new records for several major artists.
The sale of 82 works, or about 25 percent more than usual, approached its high pre-sale estimate of $687 million, and saw just 12 percent of its offerings left unsold.
It was the week's second big result for the auction house, following Monday's special sale which set new records for the highest prices paid for a single work of art, as well as for any sculpture.
The three top lots each sold for more than $50 million, with three others fetching more than $35 million. New records were set for Robert Ryman and Robert Rauschenberg.
"What we're seeing is a very knowledgeable market, and in some cases with buyers who have had a very quick education," said Brett Gorvy, Christie's' head of post-war and contemporary art.
Officials at both Christie's and rival Sotheby's concur that the recent art boom has been driven at least in part by deep-pocketed clients who have been collecting for only a few years.
So it might have been surprising that Rothko's muted, somber-toned work, which carried a pre-sale estimate of $45 million, emerged the star.
With the top auction price of the past two weeks, apart from Monday's record setters, it also fell just short of Rothko's record. Continued...

More Planning Needed for Special Ed Students Under Common Core
Integrating Common Core learning standards at the same time that special education reform is taking hold in schools citywide made sense, Corinne Rello-Anselmi said Thursday, despite the obvious challenges. She is the deputy chancellor for students with disabilities and English language learners. Both efforts require a shift in instruction, she said, and both require more collaboration among teachers.
"More so than ever, the relationship between the special ed teacher and the general ed teacher is mutually dependent," said Rello-Anselmi.
She and other education officials spoke at a meeting of the Citywide Council on Special Education. But not everyone in attendance thought the joint implementation benefited students with special needs.
Parents and advocates said the intersection of Common Core and special education reform -- both citywide and complicated policy shifts -- made things at the school level even more complex. One parent, Suzanne Peters, worried that the higher-level material and rigorous assessments would create more barriers to special education students receiving high school diplomas.
Peters, who is also a parent advocate at the Jewish Community Center in Manhattan, said she is not adverse to the new standards. "But we need a safety net," she said, for some special education students.
Another parent, Jaye Bea Smalley, expressed concern over whether the new focus on instruction would also mean training teachers on how to write Individualized Education Programs (I.E.P.) for special needs students in a Common Core era.
"I think that's a missing link," said Smalley, who also co-chairs the Citywide Council on Special Education. "I want smart I.E.P. goals."
Parents also asked how easily the new Common Core-aligned textbooks could be modified for students with disabilities to meet their individual learning needs. Education officials admitted that the new materials were not perfect, and only meet a "basic minimum standard of accessibility" in terms of providing supports for a range of students and learning styles.
Josh Thomases, deputy chief academic officer, said education policy-makers and schools were grappling with the transition to Common Core, including how students with disabilities were served under the new learning standards. But, he acknowledged, it wouldn't happen overnight.
"We're serious about this being a multi-year effort to move students toward a higher standard," he said.
In addition to Common Core, schools started including more special education students in classes with their non-disabled peers. One goal of the changes to special education was to allow more special education students to attend their zoned schools. In most cases, schools were expected to provide appropriate services for all students eligible to enroll.
Previously, students with disabilities often would be sent out of their neighborhood or district to find a program providing the appropriate services. And they would be assigned to separate "self-contained" classes.
Maggie Moroff, the special education policy coordinator of Advocates for Children and the coordinator of the ARISE Coalition, said education officials needed to better translate the dual philosophical and pedagogical shifts for families.
She and other members of the coalition met last week with education officials to discuss the Common Core, and did not leave satisfied that the D.O.E. had planned properly for special needs students.
"They need to think really carefully about how to make the new, more complicated, more intense curriculum more accessible to kids with disabilities," she said in a phone interview.
She is also concerned that education officials are predicting that achievement gaps will likely get bigger at first instead of smaller. "They know that and they are anticipating that, but what are they going to do about it?"
Families of students with disabilities must have a better understanding of what students were expected to accomplish academically, said Moroff.
Thursday night's presentation came a week after the D.O.E. released data on the 260 schools that started implementing special education reforms as a pilot program, along with some initial figures on the citywide expansion taking place this year.
In general, fewer special education students this year are in self-contained classrooms and more are in co-teaching classes, the classrooms that mix special education and non-special education students.
However, advocates said, the D.O.E. has not provided information on the supports students are receiving, how schools are working with families to modify students' individual learning plans or how many special education students could attend their zoned school this year who could not last year.
The ARISE Coalition sent a freedom of information request for more detailed information on the reform in January. Deputy Chancellor Rello-Anselmi said the D.O.E. was working to fulfill the request.

Relationships, in general, are rarely easy. Unfortunately, there is a little more needed than just love. However, a couple equipped with the right skills and conflict resolution strategies can use that existing love to conquer most problems. I can assist with developing these skills through couples counseling, which is often strengthened by individual sessions with each partner.
Gary Brown, PhD, LMFT, FAPA
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Couples are frequently referred to me by current and former clients, colleagues, and other healthcare professionals including physicians from several disciplines. More often than not, couples self-refer for help because one or both are feeling stuck and in pain. Sometimes there is an accumulation of hurts that have piled up. You need to talk about it. There are many benefits to couples counseling: enhanced communication, learning how to resolve conflict, creating more trust, growing intimacy, identifying triggers that can cause upsets, learning how to deal with the inevitable challenges that even the very best of relationships experience, and learning how to love at deeper levels.

Much can be left unsaid in a loving relationship. And, over the many months and years, this lack of communication on what can be important aspects of a relationship can cause problems and even break-up. No relationship is beyond repair. The desire to want to repair hurt feelings and ineffective communication is the biggest hurdle. Two loving adults who want their relationship to be successful can indeed be just that. Call me to schedule your appointment today.

China's jobless migrants loath to return to countryside
By Simon Rabinovitch
ZHONGMU COUNTY, China (Reuters) - The parched farmlands of central China hold no future for Li Honglin, but she is trapped there until word comes from a clothing factory far away on the coast where she used to work.
Li's boss promised to call her back to her job as a sewing machinist when the factory resumes full production. It's not clear when that might happen, though, as China's garment exports have been decimated by the economic downturn and orders are thin.
Wearing tight pants and high-heel shoes studded with rhinestones, Li stood with her parents and elderly neighbors as they played mahjong late into the afternoon by a dusty road about an hour's drive from Henan's provincial capital, Zhengzhou.
"Almost all my friends have already gone back to the big cities, but I'm not rushing out. You need to have a job to live in the city. It's too expensive to get by without one," she said.
Li's caution sets her apart from the masses of rural Chinese who are still thronging to the country's industrial jungle despite bleak employment prospects, fuelling official fears that city streets could turn into breeding grounds for disappointed, disgruntled young men.
Hoping to keep unemployed migrants in the countryside at the end of their visits home for the Lunar New Year holiday, the government has offered them funds and training to start their own businesses.
Despite the incentives, when Chinese New Year celebrations ended this month, tens of millions left their family plots of hardscrabble land to seek riches, or at least a decent wage, in factories and on construction sites.
Many have run square into the hard realities of the global financial crisis. Continued...

David Davis, the shadow home secretary, will unveil details of an interim report by Lord Stevens that will insist that the police form a central part of the force.
Britain has at least six agencies responsible for borders, including Revenue & Customs, the Immigration Service, the security services, harbour police, the Serious and Organised Crime Agency, and the Metropolitan police.
The proposal is vital to the Tories as they seek to justify their decision not to back identity cards.
Mr Davis will say that: "Today we have seven different organisations with seven different sets of powers. Under a Conservative government we'll have one body with real power. To stop, search, detain and prosecute. To gather intelligence and seize illegal goods. A proper integrated force with real power to protect our borders."
A dedicated force would also make it easier for the government to work out the numbers entering Britain. The governor of the Bank of England, Mervyn King, recently complained that it was hard to set monetary policy reliably as it was not possible to know the size of the labour force, or the numbers in Britain. Mr Davis is also expected to announce proposals on drug treatment and gun crime.
The shadow immigration minister, Damian Green, said immigration would form a part of any Tory election campaign, saying: "Immigration is not just an important issue for the core vote of the Conservative party. It is a core issue for the whole of the British people." He promised an annual limit on the number of immigrants from outside the EU.
The Tories have been notably restrained on the immigration issue for fear of reviving claims of being the "nasty party", a charge that led to the Tories going down to a heavy defeat in 2005.
But Mr Green, often regarded as on the left of the party, said: "Immigration is a hugely important issue for many millions of people in this country of all political views and all ethnic backgrounds."
He also insisted that a Tory government would impose an annual limit on the number of immigrants from outside the EU. He said the limit would be substantially below the current net immigration of 180,000 a year.
Speaking at a fringe meeting in Blackpool, he said: "The existing failings are putting stresses and strains in communities in some of the poorest communities and directly leading to tension that should not be there and need not be there." He went on: "We cannot carry on with net migration running at the best part of 200,000 a year at a time when more people are leaving this country than ever before. We need the right people here, but also the right numbers so they can be allowed to be integrated in a calm and orderly atmosphere."
Mr Green acknowledges that the government cannot set a limit on the migrants from inside the EU, currently 300,000 a year, but he insisted: "An explicit annual limit on economic migrants from outside the EU is a number we can control and should control."
He said the final annual limit would be set following consultation with business, but added that the judgments would also be based on social forces, including the views of providers of public services, such as the health service. He claimed net legal immigration had quadrupled since Labour came to power to 1,500 people a day.
He claimed the wave of relatively cheap labour had resulted in a million under-25s being economically inactive. "It is clearly wrong to write a cohort off like that." He pointed to the example of a reception class in Lincolnshire that had 14% of its class unable to speak English a year ago, 30% last year and 50% this year.

About the Book: In the Pleasure Groove: Love, Death and Duran Duran
The frank, funny and intimate autobiography of Duran Duran's legendary bassist, John Taylor
With Duran Duran, John Taylor has created some of the greatest songs of our time. From the disco dazzle of debut single 'Planet Earth' right up to their latest number one album All You Need is Now, Duran Duran has always had the power to sweep the world onto its feet.
It's been a ride - and for John in particular, the ride has been wild, thrilling .... and dangerous. Now, for the first time, he tells his incredible story - a tale of dreams fulfilled, lessons learned and demons conquered.
A shy only child, Nigel John Taylor wasn't an obvious candidate for pop stardom and frenzied girl panic. But when he ditched his first nameand picked up a bass guitar, everything changed. John formed Duran Duran with his friend Nick Rhodes in the spring of 1978, and they were soon joined by Roger Taylor, then Andy Taylor and finally Simon Le Bon. Together they were an immediate, massive global success story, their pictures on millions of walls, every single a Worldwide hit.
Told with humour, honesty and hard-won wisdom, and packed with exclusive pictures, In the Pleasure Groove is a fascinating, irresistible portrait of a man who danced into the fire ...... and came through the other side.
About the Author: John Taylor
John Taylor is the bass player and a founding member of Duran Duran. To date the band has sold over eighty million records worldwide and been awarded six prestigious Lifetime Achievement awards, including ones from the BRITs and MTV. Their latest album, All You Need is Now, debuted at number one in fifteen countries. John has also recorded and toured with members of Chic, The Sex Pistols and Guns N' Roses.

Product Description
Source Naturals BCAA™ provides support to your body's muscular systems with a vigorous blend of branched-chain amino acids and supporting B vitamins. Research has shown that during exercise, branched-chain amino acids are metabolized directly in the skeletal muscle - a process that provides robust musculoskeletal fortification when your body needs it the most, during workouts or athletic competition. Combined with vitamin B-6 and B-12 for optimized protein synthesis, BCAA may also increase energy and reduce occasional fatigue in support of your active lifestyle.
Suggested Use: 3 capsules three times daily with meals.
Other Ingredients: gelatin (capsule), colloidal silicon dioxide, and magnesium stearate.
Warning: If you are pregnant, may become pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any pre-existing health condition, consult your health care professional before using this product.

Additional Information
|Source Naturals
|Product Type
Source Naturals was created in 1982 by C.E.O Ira Goldberg to support each individual's potential to enjoy optimal health. At that time, the kind of nutritional formulations he envisioned – for the maintenance of well-being and the enhancement of life – simply didn't exist. The idea of combining many nutrients, herbs and nutraceuticals in one formulation, though common today, was then a rarity. Source Naturals pioneered the concept with Wellness Formula®, now the industry's #1 immune support product.
Source Naturals subsequently introduced numerous award-winning formulas, recognized for their excellence in independent surveys and nutritional analyses. In addition to Wellness, these award-winners include Life Force Multiple™, Mega-Kid Multiple™, Inflama-Rest™, the Skin Eternal™ line, Higher Mind™, Essential Enzymes™, Male Response™, and more.
Source Naturals' comprehensive Bio-Aligned Formulas™ help bring the power of alignment to your body. When formulating, we evaluate the underlying causes of system imbalances, and then provide targeted nutrition to interdependent body systems. Our line of more than 600 products also includes well-researched, single entity nutrients in their highest quality and most bioavailable forms.
Our nutritional supplements are at the leading edge of today's Wellness Revolution. This transformation in health consciousness also includes new perspectives in diet, lifestyle, emotional and spiritual development, and complementary health care. Source Naturals Strategy for WellnessSM is to provide education that empowers individuals to take responsibility for their health, rather than relying solely on outside medical authority. The result is people who are more productive and fulfilled, and a world that is stronger and healthier.

Individuals Therapists in 08753
"As a social worker I take a hollistic approach to helping clients with a primary focus on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. After a 40 year career in both the health and mental health fields I now exclusively devote my time to a private practice helping people with anxiety, depression, relationship problems, and various mental health issues. I work with clients with substance abuse issues who are already involved in a recovery program. I am noted for having a warm and supportive approach and believe that humor is a part of healing."
"I have been working in the Social Work field for over fifteen years focusing on children, adolescents, family therapy and couples counseling. I have extensive experience in diverse issues such as trauma, oppositional and defiant behaviors, ADHD, Aspergers Syndrome, addictions, parenting challenges and grief and loss dynamics. I believe in traditional as well as non-traditional approaches which led to my training in EMDR and Sandplay therapy. These treatment modalities can greatly assist in the resolution of certain issues that are not always resolved with talk therapy alone."
"My role as a counselor is to be an instrument for change. I aspire to help others reach their full potential as we transition through life's challenges together. Using a strengths-based approach, I support clients as they learn to accept existing circumstances. I assist clients in developing clarity and encourage identifying areas where one can grow personally to attain realistic goals. Together we embark upon a journey that often times explores the price of self-doubt, the importance of forgiveness, and the ability to develop increased faith, trust, and belief in oneself."
"Are you currently satisfied with the direction that your life is taking? If not, please consider coming in to talk with me! It is my belief that the therapeutic relationship itself is the cornerstone of our work together, and along with my 20 plus years of experience practicing as a therapist, I bring my personal qualities of kindness, compassion, nonjudgmental listening, and a true desire to help to our relationship. I enjoy working with adolescents, adults, and senior citizens. It is common to encounter difficulties along the path (life isn't always easy) and I'm here for you!"
"As a therapist with more than thirty years treating patients with co-occurring disorders, it l;eaves me in the unique position of having expertise in the treatment of mental and addictive illnesses with patience and compassion. I am able to relieve the stress patients feel either coming to treatment for the first time or seeking other counseling as they feel they have failed somehow. With patient permission, families are included in the process of healing. I am always willing to accept phone calls after hours should a patient or their family feel the need to communicate."
"*ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS* Sometimes life is challenging and difficult to manage. I believe everyone can benefit from talking to and working with an objective, non-judgemental therapist. My name is Kim Martinez and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 15 years experience working with seniors (I am an approved medicare provider), couples, families, children, adolescents and adults, helping them cope with stress, depression, anxiety and grief issues as well as learn new ways to communicate and control emotions."
"Sherry Lynn helps children, adults and families, and can bring hope for even the most persistent of issues including: anxieties, fears, depression, trauma, & obsessions. She can help couples learn new coping skills. True change may need more than just talking, and Sherry Lynn is committed to really helping. Sherry Lynn is Certified in EMDR, Hypnosis & EFT for trauma, PTSD, and anxiety. She is a trained ADHD Consultant for children and adults. She is also trained in Sand Tray to help express emotional issues without the need to talk. Additionally, she is Certified in Mindfulness for Teens."
"One of the most important factors of successful counseling is to have a good connection with your therapist. Every person entering therapy deserves to have an individualized approach that will meet their specific goals. At Mindful Solutions NJ, we offer a free initial phone consultation so you have the chance to learn about the therapist you would work with prior to committing to fees or a long-term therapeutic relationship. During your consultation, we'll discuss your reasons for seeking counseling. You'll also have the chance to learn about your potential counselor's education, training and counseling approach."
"I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with 10 years of experience working in community and school settings. I am committed to helping my clients reach their treatment goals and learn skills to cope with any life challenges. I provide a safe, comfortable therapeutic environment and utilize various treatment approaches that best meet the needs of each client."
"Are you feeling out of balance? Would you like to create a more positive perspective? I would like the opportunity to help you restore your balance through my skill-based, goal driven approach. I believe that you have the ability to create change in your life and may need some guidance in identifying and developing those capabilities."
"Dr. Burgess is a counseling psychologist and the owner of BB Counseling. Dr. Burgess received his Bachelor's degree from the University of Massachusetts. Upon graduation, he went on to receive his Master's Degree and Doctorate in Counseling Psychology from Seton Hall University. Dr. Burgess treats a variety of disorders including but not limited to anxiety, mood disorders, personality disorders, ocd, oppositional defiant disorder, ADHD, anger, chronic pain, marriage counseling, and parental counseling. Treatment also includes psychological evaluations for bariatric surgery, spinal cord stimulators, and long term pain medication."
"Therapy is a collaborative process, with both the therapist and the client working together towards a common goal: helping the client reach his or her potential. As a certified School Psychologist, I am qualified to complete psycho-educational assessments to identify learning difficulties faced by individuals of all ages. I also work with children, adolescents, adults, couples, and families in therapy with a range of social, emotional, and interpersonal difficulties. By using a strengths-based approach and employing a variety of therapeutic modalities to help clients, I am dedicated to support and empower individuals throughout their quest for happiness."
"I have been working with both adults and children for 18 years. I believe in working in partnership with my clients to ensure that they meet their life goals. I believe this work is best done in a caring and supportive environment. I use my specialized techniques and skills to help my clients achieve their goals. I can help ease your transition from one life phase to another. I am also a certified school psychologist and child advocate and understand the laws as they pertain to special education."
"**ACCEPTING NEW CLIENTS** I have 21 years experience working with individuals with various mental health disorders. I believe we need to treat the symptoms that are presented, not the label in which an individual comes to me with. It is the symptoms that have impacted their life. I have worked in various capacities, and currently am also employed as a Director at a local non profit facility. I have gainful knowledge of available resources to assist one in their journey through recovery."
"Kat Schaffer"
"It is my personal and professional goal to assist you in attaining your full potential and goals in the therapeutic process. I am a firm believer in the therapeutic relationship as one of the most important tools in overcoming difficulties. I understand it is difficult to ask for help and I view this as a courageous act. We will work together to help you in working through your difficulties at your own pace and in your time. My typical client would be an adult seeking help with substance/alcohol use, co-occurring diagnosis, depression, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma/abuse, PTSD."
"Therapy provides a safe place where you are free to express the thoughts and feelings you can say no where else. A place where you can be heard, accepted and understood; where you can gain the courage and insight to enable you to make choices and changes that lead to improved relationships and lives. As a therapist working with children and families for many years, I seek to aid those who are struggling to understand themselves and their current life situations. I specialize in working with family members to improve communication, understanding and empower them to resolve conflicts."
"I'm a strengths based play therapist who believes that EVERYONE has GREATNESS inside of them! My goal when working with children and families is to focus on their strengths to build positive self esteem and to help restore peace and balance to the family unit. I specifically work with children who are trying to process change, divorce/separation, bullying, social rejection, grief, and school anxiety, just to name a few. I help children to recognize their own greatness, develop coping and problem solving skills, process trauma, and provide parents with the tools to help manage behaviors and emotionally support their kids at home."
"I believe each person has the ability to find the answers within themself and my focus is to help you get to that core part safely and comfortably. Understanding the past that has contributed to the non-functional behavior helps, however, eventually you need to deal with the here-and-now situation that brought you into therapy. This is what helps you to understand what keeps you from achieving what you truly desire."
"I provide a personal relationship where a person can feel safe and inspired for their own personal growth and healing. With extensive experience working with children, adolescents and their families, I am equipped to address a wide range of life-controlling problems, including addiction and other levels of substance use. I understand that when a person presents for counseling they are in need of support and relief from what is troubling them, therefore my approach is directive and solution focused. I am bilingual in American Sign Language and can serve Deaf and hard of hearing individuals."

Maurizio Bonfanti, son of the painter Angelo Bonfanti, was born in 1952 in Bergamo. He began his artistic education at the Liceo Artistico in Bergamo and attended courses in etching at the "Accademia di Belle Arti", Bergamo. Thereafter Maurizio Bonfanti continued his studies by taking a course in modern literature at the "Universita Statale" in Milan, yet decided to dedicate himself utterly to the arts in 1973.
From 1976 to 1983 he taught drawing and visual communications at a technical school in Bergamo. Up until the end of the 1970's he spent 10 years working exclusively with etching, but abandoned this technique in favour of painting. As a painter he experimented with various technical approaches, yet always contemplating themes such as the body, nature, and urban landscapes. Thus he produced a number of artistic cycles and in particular at religious discourses.
Since 1978 his paintings have been exhibited at numerous one-man-shows as well as at collaborative exhibitions throughout Italy and abroad - the latter includes European countries such as Montecarlo, France, Spain as well as the USA. Furthermore, Bonfanti held major exhibitions in Lineart, Gend, Belgium, and Holland and participated at two prestigious exhibitions at the Contemporary Art Cantre Schalkwijk in Utrect. Also, in the more recently he has been commissioned to create artworks for the 'Memorial of the Shoa' which is to remember the cruelty of World War 2.
BONFANTI ABOUT HIS WORK: MB: We're offended by every form of intolerance and discrimination; we love peace and we're against any type of injustice that debases human dignity. Yet the coherence of what we say doesn't always correspond to our behavior in every day life. (...) Art seems to have lost its ability to voice criticism in that it is more and more subject to a system of values whose only point of reference are the rules of the market.
If I were forced to see reality with objectivity and lucid rationality, that is, to stop dreaming, the image of Man I've been presenting in my pictures, lacerated and under attack, would inevitably be replaced by a surface covered only by deep, silent wounds. MB: By presenting the figure naked, by exposing it, I declare its supremacy. If I tend to leave out the face, it's because I want to underline the body language.
By articulating the figures as though they were on stage, I present them with awareness. The figures are acted on, leaving the real protagonist free to take part in the staging. A face gives identity to a body; the intensity of a look or the form of a mouth denotes a condition, an emotional state. Hence, when the face is hidden, the emotional state must be seen in the body alone, whether totally visible or incomplete. In truth, the presence/ absence of the body has exactly that function. It allows the spectator to redraw the contours and imagine the face.
The surface of the paper on which I draw my nudes undergoes a series of attacks. These are an integral part of the expressive language of my works. What I try hard to do is to give substance to a surface, which is, by nature, smooth and neutral. But it isn't only the paper that undergoes deterioration; the image is intentionally eroded and scratched too. Once the paper is glued to the canvas, what I intend to achieve is the image of a body which seems to re-emerge from the past, but which has the energy and fragility of contemporary Man.
He is always in the centre of his pictures. Naked, alone, standing, sitting, crouching. Steeped in darkness, and faceless. For years, Maurizio Bonfanti has been putting Man in the spotlight, at the center of the artist's attention. He is there to be seen better, so that the perfect and fragile matter from which he is made can reflect something else. Here the body becomes a gift, a knot which unravels absorbing more and more the dense taciturn mixture of the all the surrounding space. The most immediate and instinctive answer to Bonfantis' paintings is that the depicted body transmits a sense of uneasiness caused by its position in the space of the picture.
This sense of uneasiness rises from the figures never being placed well on the page, thus never being completely present. Often parts of the body are missing, or are out of the picture, leaving the space to compresses them in isolation. – Yet the notion of solitude appears to be put aside if not excluded, instead it is the wish to be alone that emerges from the images. Nevertheless, it has to be pointed out that there are times when we choose solitude, but there is other times when solitude isn't a choice but a punishment.
The figures also appear to be in a un-identifiable non-place, where parts of the body have been absorbed by the surrounding vacuum, which can only be perceived by the observer thanks to the light, which contrasts the chiaroscuro.

Herman Moore is back: http://instagram.com/p/ct3t7gx9Jv/#
I like it when they bring back blast from the past .
What about Ziggy the Monster Ansah !
I like the way Ziggy snagged that INT from Sanchez... Akers connects on two mid range FG's., so it looks like Jason Hanson can stay retired. Hill so far is playing better than Stafford...but its just preseason. Lions up 20-7 @ halftime. It's great to having the NY channel.
Great to have the Russian website with links to all kinds of streaming games. And Akers is very good as long as you can keep it to 45 and under.
Looks like we got a long range kicker as the you tube walk on guy took care of the kicks beyond 45 Did we sign Hanson as the kicking coach?
Akers is probably the same age as Henson though
I think Hanson came in for a day then left. ?
I think the Lions will release Kickalicious.
Detroit Lions OK with use of racial slurs inside locker room | Audibles - SI.com
Misleading headline, fishy. The story is talking about two friends, not the Lions organization.
Then one guy flubs up outside the lockerroom and it's curtains. I curse a lot and I hate myself when I do it around the ladies.
I used to love Herman Moore.
Bill Barnwell puts the 2013 Detroit Lions to the numbers test - Grantland Gotta grab those loose balls!
Good article about "mean" averages. He says Lions should win 2.5 more games this year.
Lions at Cle. tomorrow at 7:30 E. pm Browns may have the most anemic offense in NFL. Ziggy should go against one of the best LOTs in football. I want to see more huge plays from him. Now people are coming out of the woodwork saying he is the best player in the draft. We need to see some production from the return games.
Norv Turner working magic with young QB. Lions embarrassed 24-6
Still think they're gonna win 9......
