Hey there, time traveller!
This article was published 30/5/2014 (1154 days ago), so information in it may no longer be current.
Reporter Randy Turner of the Winnipeg Free Press was a winner in sports writing at the 2013 National Newspaper Awards in Charlottetown, P.E.I., on Friday night.
Turner was one of three members of the Winnipeg Free Press who were recognized for their extraordinary work at the national awards gala.
Turner, reporter Bill Redekop and columnist Gordon Sinclair Jr. were nominated for NNAs, which are considered Canada's top print journalism awards.
Turner won for a series of stories in the sports writing category: unregulated hockey leagues for elite young players, the future of curling in rural Manitoba and the unhealthy habit of chewing tobacco by hockey players.
Turner is also a previous NNA winner, claiming an award in 2004 for his feature on Team Canada coach Brent Sutter and local players prior to the 2005 World Junior Hockey championship in Grand Forks.
"I'm just fortunate to work at a paper with such a solid commitment to long-form journalism and that I get more than my fair share of opportunities and time to develop them," said Turner, expressing thanks to associate editors Scott Gibbons and Julie Carl.
Editor Paul Samyn said all three of Turner's features "captured all that sports journalism should offer the reader."
"He delivered solid reporting wrapped up with vivid story telling that captured competitive fire, intrigue and drama," Samyn said. "We are so proud of the work Randy did and the value he added to the understanding of two Manitoba passions: hockey and curling."
Redekop was nominated in the business writing category for a two-part series on the rise and fall of an Internet pharmacy business. His story detailed how three Manitobans turned the province into the Internet drug industry's epicentre, before it all came crashing down.
Sinclair was nominated in the short feature category for his profile of 83-year-old Alexander "Sandy" Turnbull, who died in December 2013 after spending most of his life in care facilities.
Sinclair is one of the most recognized columnists in the country. Prior to tonight, he's picked up two NNAs for columns in 1988 and 2007, and a third NNA as part of the Free Press team that covered the Flood of the Century in 1997.
"We are also proud of the recognition both Gordon Sinclair Jr. and Bill Redekop received for their outstanding work," Samyn said.
Ian Hitchen, a reporter with Free Press sister newspaper the Brandon Sun, was also nominated under the category of local reporting for his stories about allegations that children in an Old Order Mennonite community had been physically abused.
The Toronto Star and Globe and Mail each won five awards while Michele Ouimet of La Presse won two individual honours as the NNAs were handed out for the 65th time.
Ouimet won in the Columns category and shared top spot with La Presse colleague Agnes Gruda in the International category.
The Toronto Star's five wins came for Project of the Year and Multimedia Feature (team entries), Arts and Entertainment (Linda Barnard), Explanatory Work (Amy Dempsey) and Long Feature (Don Gillmor).
The Globe and Mail's wins came in Business (team entry), Beat Reporting (Dakshana Bascaramurty), Short Feature (Grant Robertson), Presentation (Jason Chiu) and News Feature Photo (Moe Doiron).
The Calgary Herald won two awards on its own - Breaking News (team entry) and Feature Photo (Leah Hennel) - and teamed up with the Edmonton Journal to win in the Investigations category (team entry). The Journal also won in the News Photo category (Shaughn Butts).
Single awards went to the Canadian Press (Politics), Edmonton Sun (Sports Photo), Halifax Chronicle-Herald (Editorial Cartooning), New Brunswick Telegraph Journal (Local Reporting), Waterloo Region Record (Editorials) and Winnipeg Free Press.
The winners were announced at an awards ceremony Friday night. Winners received cheques for $1,000 and a certificate of award. Other finalists received citations of merit.

Booking flights, car rentals, hotel arrangements, guided trips, finding decent restaurants, and moving from place to place can make a person stress out! If it doesn't go right what could have been lifetime memories turns into a bummer.
18 Years will fly by. Let us help celebrate.
So, before you start stressing about creating that perfect "mom and daughter" vacation, "father and son" vacation, or vice versa, you're search has ended!Red Horse Mountain Ranch is well known to be a "complete" stay. From the time you arrive at the Spokane International Airport, to the time you have to depart, we'll take care of all the little arrangements that make a vacation particularly memorable. For mother daughters there's massage and yoga, fitness hiking, wine tastings (if age appropriate), comfy accommodations, hot tubs, pillow-top beds, and all the amenities of home. Plentyof outdoor activities like horseback riding, kayaking, bike tours, hikes, and just plain old relaxing on a beautiful deck are just some of the other options you have while you're our guest. Add in fresh foods, someone to handle the laundry, cook for you, and you've got the recipe for an amazing ranch vacation. For thefather son vacations, the list of outdoor adventures is seemingly endless. They may not need the comfy beds and be all that interested in wine tastings, but 3D archery, sporting clays, fishing trips, zip lines, advanced horseback riding, and long distance shooting may be exactly what they're looking for.
Arriving & Departing from the Ranch.A flight arrival from the Spokane Airport on Sunday should be between 12 & 3 pm.

When you arrive at the ranch, we'll get you settled into your cabin, give you a short tour around the ranch, and give you some time to relax before our cocktail hour and appetizers.

You should also make sure to have a few pairs of jeans. Some ladies have recommended to bring a pair of leather gloves with them to ride with during the summer and fall. Morning can be cool.
Dinners and meals.Our chefs are going to make it very difficult to shed pounds while you'll be here. Daily baked breads, fresh salads and fruits, homemade desserts, and more.

Ours is not to question why shoe designers have suddenly started adding what appears to be entire bouquets to the backs of their shoes, though -ours is simply to point out the similarities between these two pairs of shoes by Hale Bob on the left ($119) and Coast on the right (£99).

Japan launches a pair of top secret spy satellites, North Korea may be target
To observe North Korean military activity Japan launched two satellites on Sunday. The first of three launches planned for 2013, these information-gathering satellites will capture crisp images for the government's intelligence and defense agencies. The Japan Aerospace Exploration Agency, which oversaw the launch, says that the radar-equipped satellite will be used for information gathering.
Called Information Gathering Satellites by the Japanese government, the satellites were carried aboard an H-2A rocket from the Tanegashima Space Center. The H-2A rocket, 187 feet tall and commercially operated by Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, launched at 1:40pm local time into an overcast sky. Powered by two solid rocket boosters and a hydrogen-fueled main engine, the rocket started off southeast before moving due south to make its ascent. With a trail of exhaust fumes billowing behind it, the rocket broke the sound barrier in under a minute's time, en route to orbit over the Pacific Ocean.
About two minutes after liftoff the solid-fueled boosters of the H-2A rocket jettisoned, as many rockets' engines do in order to fight gravity's pull and break the Earth's atmosphere.
With the heavy fuel boosters off, the H-2A's cryogenic upper stage ignited next to carry these spy satellites into orbit.
While there was no official government or commercial live broadcast of the launch, amateur videographers captured the spectacle and live streamed it online. The mission was declared a success roughly 20 minutes after lift-off by officials.
While the imaging resolution and capacities of the satellites remain undisclosed, it is known that the satellites can take photos of the Earth regardless of weather conditions or time of day. According to the Kyodo news agency, its speculated that these satellites can capture photos with a resolution as high as 15 inches (40 centimeters) above U.S. commercial imaging satellites.
After North Korea tested a missile over Japanese territory in 1998, Japan created the space-based reconnaissance program. The first of such image-capturing satellites was launched into orbit in 2003.
The Information Gathering Satellites have not only been used to monitor North Korean space activities: officials used photos taken from these satellites after the devastating tsunami and the following disaster at the Fukushima nuclear power plant during March 2011.
The next two launches are scheduled for summer and autumn this year. At the next launch planned for July, a massive H-2B rocket will carry a robotic cargo craft to the International Space Station. Following this will be the first flight of a solid-fuel Epsilon satellite launcher, launched from the southernmost of Japan's main islands, Kyushu.
Before 2014, one more H-2A rocket will launch, carrying JAXA's second Advanced Land Observing Satellite. This satellite will focus on gathering climate-related data to be used during responses to natural disasters.

I reboot daily (at least once!) and it's been getting worse for months
I just upgraded from XP home to XP professional (what a rip-off just to
get IIS!) and had to reinstall service pack 1 after doing that, but I
haven't noticed any change in TMG performance as a result.
I'll see if there are other service packs I should get, but I know I had
them all installed when running XP home.
Thanks - these are good suggestions, but I need more! And why is just
one TMG database (the biggest) running so poorly when the rest (500-1500)
people each run faster than I can think or type?

• Player of the game: Shabazz Napier. Scored 27 points, including UConn's final six on a four-point play, then a last-second game-winner. Rinse, lather, repeat.
• Home cookin': UConn (barely) kept alive its remarkable streak of not losing a non-conference, November/December on-campus game in 40 years. The Huskies' last such loss was on Dec. 5, 1973 to Holy Cross.
While the streak can be largely attributed to a large slew of inferior opponents, and certainly some home cookin' from the referees here and there, it's also a testament to some rowdy home crowds. At least that was the case Monday night.
"The three years I've been here, that's the best I've seen Gampel," junior forward DeAndre Daniels said of the Gampel Pavilion sellout that was ear-splittingly loud at times.
"I say it all the time," coach Kevin Ollie added, "they're the greatest fans in America."
• See ya, Gators: Florida suffered a big loss when point guard Scottie Wilbekin (15 points) sprained his ankle with about three minutes left and never returned. The Gators were also without freshman guard Kasey Hill (10.2 ppg) and forward DeVon Walker, who played just two minutes due to injury.
"I was really proud of our guys coming down the stretch, offensively," Florida coach Billy Donovan said. "I was very concerned with three minutes to go and there's no point guard on the floor. And I thought our guys really did a great job of running offense."
The Gators have also been without the services of Chris Walker, a highly-touted freshman who may be eligible for the second semester.
"They're going to be real good," Ollie promised. "That's money in the bank right there. In March, they're going to be a team to be reckoned with."
— David Borges
STORRS >> Apparently, we've reached the point where even when Shabazz Napier all but tries to give a game away, he still somehow manages to emerge a hero.
Witness Monday night. With the game clock winding down to its final seconds and UConn trailing by a point, Napier dribbled straight into a Florida trap, nearly turning the ball over before putting up a wild shot. It barely grazed the rim, but caromed off the backboard — and off DeAndre Daniels' fingertips — straight back to Napier, who calmly swished a 14-footer as time expired.
A 65-64 win for the 12th-ranked Huskies over the Gators before a rowdy, sellout crowd at Gampel Pavilion, and yet another huge shot by a player who is seriously starting to rival Kemba Walker as the most clutch player in program history.
"He's one of the big-time players ever to put this jersey on," marveled UConn coach Kevin Ollie, who played with a few others who hold that honor.
This wasn't meant to be another column on how clutch Napier is. Many were written last season, though largely ignored by the national media as the Huskies played in postseason-less purgatory. It couldn't be avoided a little over a week ago at Madison Square Garden, when Napier's 27-point, yeoman's effort almost single-handedly guided the Huskies to a one-point win over Indiana.
Against Florida Napier converted a four-point play with 33.5 seconds left to put the Huskies (8-0) up one, but Michael Frazier put the 15th-ranked Gators (6-2) back on top with a slash to the hoop. Napier then turned his own broken play into more broken opponents' hearts.
"Shabazz, he's a great player," said Daniels. "He willed his team to win that game. He never gave up, and the heart that kid has, we hope everybody on the team follows his lead."
Napier finished with a game-high 26 points, including five 3-pointers.
"You always see highlight films of guys hitting the last shot, guys at the free throw line making the free throws," he said. "You want to be the hero, you want to be the guy that's known as the hero at the end of the game. Who doesn't? Growing up, I wanted to be Superman. Everybody wants to be the hero. I just felt like I was fortunate enough to be in the right spot at the right time."
Of course, sometimes we forget that college basketball is a game essentially played by kids — young men ages 18-22, for the most part. With that comes the potential for petty jealousies, especially when they see one player getting the bulk of the attention.
Ollie understands that and hopes it doesn't become an issue with his team.
"Hopefully, all our guys understand, it's not about one person," the coach said. "It's not about Shabazz. I know everybody's going to write about Shabazz, everybody's talking about Shabazz. But it's a team, and Shabazz will be the first one to tell you that, also."
Indeed, asked if he had played the role of Superman on Monday, Napier quickly countered: "Nah. Superman does it on his own, I can't do it without my teammates. They made sure I got the right picks, DeAndre put a good hand on the ball the last second. We found a way to win."
Daniels finished with 14 points, a team-high seven rebounds and, of course, that all-important game-winning tip. Or pass?
"Yeah, I was trying to tip it," Daniels said, a wry smile spread across his face. "I think they should put that in the books as an assist."
Tip or pass, Florida coach Billy Donovan recognized its significance.
"The guy that won the game for them was DeAndre Daniels," Donovan noted. "He made an unbelievable tip-out, off-balance, which kept the ball alive. We had guys on Napier that kind of ran to the rim to go defensive rebound, which left space for Napier. We needed to keep a guy there and we didn't. But his shot really was luck, in the fact that the ball was tipped to him. If it's tipped anywhere else, it's out."
Instead, it rolled straight into the hands of Shabazz Napier, a player who still comes up huge even when he's on the verge of being a goat.
"He's amazing, he's the best in the country, in my eyes," said Daniels, a teammate clearly not bothered by the attention Napier is receiving. "He's a senior, and he wants it so bad. We're going to follow the lead of Shabazz."

Living at home or in institution: adolescents' optimal experience and life theme building
Vivendo em família ou em instituição: a experiência ótima, metas e desafios na vida de adolescentes
Antonella Delle Fave; Fausto Massimini
The influence of family relationships on adolescents' behavior and development has been widely investigated. This study examines the relationship between family structure and a) adolescents' quality of experience in daily activities and social contexts b) adolescents' perceived life influences, challenges and goals. To achieve this aim, Flow Questionnaire and Life Theme Questionnaire were administered to 50 Italian girls (15-21 years of age), 25 living in two-parent families, 25 entrusted to Institutions for Custody of Minors. The findings suggest tha adolescents' perception of a positive and supportive family enviroment fosters the active search for challenges and enjoyment in daily activities, and the involvement in productive and social contexts. On the contrary , negative family perception is related to lack of engagement and motivation, and to the prevalence of low-challenge activities as sources of enjoyment and satisfaction. Although the sample size does not allow us to draw conclusions about causality, the results confirm the crucial role of family in influencing adolescents' psychological and behavioral development.
Key words: Adolescents, family experience, development.
A influência das relações familiares no comportamento e desenvolvimento de adolescentes tem sido amplamente investigada. Este estudo examina a relação entre a estrutura familiar e a qualidade das experiências de adolescentes nas atividades diárias e contextos sociais, e a percepção que eles têm das influências em suas vidas, de seus desafios e metas. Para atingir estes objetivos, Flow Questionnaire e o Life Theme Questionnaire foram aplicados a 50 adolescentes italianas (15-21 anos), 25 vivendo em famílias com ambos os pais, 25 em Instituições Abrigo. Os dados sugerem que a percepção dos adolescentes de um ambiente familiar positivo e acolhedor incentiva a busca por atividades diárias desafiadoras e agradáveis e o envolvimento em contextos sociais produtivos. Ao contrário, uma percepção negativa da família está relacionada com falta de engajamento e motivação e a prevalência de atividades com baixo índice de desafio como fonte de divertimento e satisfação. Os resultados, apesar de se ter uma amostra pequena que não permite generalizações, confirmam o papel crucial da família no influenciar o desenvolvimento psicológico e comportamental dos adolescentes.

The key role of family relationships in the individual development has been widely assessed in the psychological literature. Both the family structure (intact vs. divorced, one-parent families, presence of step-parents) and the quality of interaction deeply affect the construction of the attachment relationship, and the healthy development of children and adolescents (Simons, Johnson, Beaman & Conger, 1996; Sokol-Katz, Dunham & Zimmerman, 1997).
More specifically, the intensity and quality of parents-children communication contributes to the social integration as well as to the identity definition of the adolescent, providing behavioral models, basic values, guidelines in the identification and pursuit of the main life goals (Hirschi, 1969; Noller, 1995).
Conversely, malfunction in family relationships can seriously affect children's behavior. Research studies show that troubled communication within the family is a risk factor for adolescent deviant behavior (Cashwell & Vacc, 1996). Similar consequences derive from parental pathology, physical aggression and alcoholism (Osuna, Alarcon & Luna, 1992). As Sameroff, Seifer & Bartko have stated (1997), several intra-familial risk factors can be identified in dealing with adolescent maladjustment, and their effect on teenager's behavior is additive: the more risk factors the worse the outcomes. Other studies have highlighted the peculiar effect of psychological maltreatment, which turns to be one of the most predictive risk factors for maladjustment (McGee, Wolfe & Wilson, 1997).
Super & Harkness (1986) analyze family as one of the key components of the developmental niche, which comprises the set of factors influencing individual growth and behavior: the natural and cultural daily environment, the culturally-based child rearing practices, and the psychology and behavior of the caretakers. Similarly, within the bio-cultural approach (Durham, 1991; Massimini, 1982; Richerson & Boyd, 1978; Ruyle, 1973), individual behavior throughout the life span is investigated as the result of combined influences arising from the biological and cultural inheritance systems.
However, individuals play an active role in the interaction with the environment, differentially replicating in the daily life some of the available cultural information units - activities, interests, relationships, values. This process has been defined psychological selection (Csikszentmihalyi & Massimini, 1985), and it is guided by the quality of experience perceived in dealing with environmental opportunities for action. Attention and psychic resources are preferentially invested in situations associated with a positive and complex state of consciousness. In the literature on children's behavior this tendency has often been observed. Examples can be found in the research works on optimal discrepancy (Piaget, 1972), play (Garvey, 1977) and learning (Csikszentmihalyi, 1982): Whenever possible, children avoid environmental stimuli or situations producing anxiety or boredom, while selectively directing their attention toward opportunities for action providing positive experiences. In this perspective, particularly relevant is the work of Csikszentmihalyi (1975, 1978, 1985), who first identified and described optimal experience, or Flow.
Optimal experience is primarily characterized by the perception of high environmental challenges, matched by adequately high personal skills. Moreover, individuals report high levels of concentration, involvement, merging with the task at hand, unselfconsciousness, control of the situation, clear-cut feedback on the course of the activity. High values of affect and enjoyment are described, as well as intrinsic motivation, i.e. the involvement in the task for its own sake, regardless of extrinsic rewards or social approval (Deci & Ryan, 1985). Several cross-cultural studies, which provided data from about 4,000 subjects, have shown the widespread occurrence of optimal experience, and the recurrence of its psychological features in different social and cultural contexts, independently of participants' age and gender (Massimini & Delle Fave, 2000).
Most of the daily activities can be associated with optimal experience. The only basic prerequisite is that they provide sufficiently high level of challenges to require an active engagement, and the use of adequately high personal skills. Repetitive and very easy tasks are almost never quoted as sources of optimal experience. On the contrary, creative and demanding activities in every domain - work, leisure, social interactions - are widely reported.
Individuals are open bio-cultural and psychic systems, who exchange information with the environment in order to attain progressively higher levels of complexity (Csanyi, 1988, 1995; Khalil & Boulding, 1996; Prigogine, 1995; Varela, Thompson & Rosch, 1991). The perception of high environmental challenges promotes the increase of related skills. In this perspective, optimal experience fosters development: Through the preferential replication of the associated activities, individuals will look for more and more complex opportunities for action, improving personal abilities in order to face them. Thanks to this intrinsically dynamic structure, optimal experience leads to the selective cultivation of individual skills in specific activities, thus influencing the process of psychological selection, and the developmental path. It contributes to the identification and building of the Life Theme, which comprises the basic life goals and lifelong targets each individual uniquely selects and pursues (Csikszentmihalyi & Beattie, 1979).
This paper aims at analyzing the quality of adolescents' daily experience, the unfolding of psychological selection and the building of individual life theme as a function of family structure and relationships. For this purpose, a comparative research study was conducted between a group of adolescent girls living in intact families, and a group of girls entrusted to communities and institutions for the Custody of Minors.
Sample and Procedures
The sample comprised 50 Italian adolescent girls. 25 of them belonged to intact families, all lived at home and were students in a high school. The other 25 were entrusted to Institutions for Custody of Minors, because of severe family problems and individual maladjustment. They lived in small residential communities, whose programs aimed at building personal relationships between educators and adolescents, and at promoting the individual adjustment and integration in the social context. Contacts with the parents were frequent, and - if possible and advisable - the adolescents could join their families during weekends. Among these girls, 14 (56%) were high school students, 9 (36%) had a full-time job, 2 attended school in the morning and had a part-time occupation in the afternoon. In their family background different forms of deviant behavior were detected: parental alcoholism, drug addiction, sexual and/or physical violence, psychiatric syndromes, prostitution and crime. Table 1 shows the age distribution in the two groups.
The participants were administered two research tools, developed in order to investigate the quality of experience in daily life and activities, and the features of individual life theme.
Specifically, in the Flow Questionnaire each girl was asked to read three quotations describing optimal experience, and to indicate if she ever experienced something similar. If the answer was yes, the respondent was invited to quote those activities in her life which were associated with this kind of experience. Likert-type scales scoring cognitive, affective and motivational variables provided information on the subjectively perceived features of optimal experience, and on the quality of experience associated with the main daily domains, such as study, work, family (for a more detailed description of the Flow Questionnaire, see Delle Fave & Massimini, 1988, 1991; Massimini, Csikszentmihalyi & Delle Fave, 1988).
The Life Theme Questionnaire (Csikszentmihalyi & Beattie, 1979) provided information on participants' positive and negative life influences, present challenges, future goals.
Figure 1 shows the percentage distribution of the activities associated with optimal experience by the two groups of adolescents.
As concerns the percentage of respondents in the two groups, 24 (96%) of the adolescents living at home recognized optimal experience in their life, while only 20 institutionalized girls (80%) did. Moreover, in identifying the associated activities the former group provided 70 answers (an average of 2.9 per participant), the latter a much lower number (39, mean=1.9 per participant).
The activity categories associated with optimal experience also differed between the two groups (Fig.1). Sports and hobbies were the most frequent category reported by the girls living at home (30% of the responses). Studying (18.6%), reading (15.7%) and media (12.9%) came next. The institutionalized adolescents reported socialization and peer interaction as the main sources of optimal experience (25.6% of the answers); media (23.1%), being with the boyfriend and sports and hobbies (both with 12.8%) followed.
When asked to rate the psychological features of optimal experience on Likert type scales, the two groups substantially overlapped. As Table 2 shows, on scales ranging from 0 to 8 most average values were above 6, confirming theoretical expectations and previous research findings. No significant difference was detected between the ratings of the two groups.
On the contrary, the quality of experience associated with family interaction showed remarkable differences between the girls living at home and the institutionalized ones. In Figure 2 the psychological features of family interactions are compared in the two groups.
Adolescents in institutions perceived the experience with family as globally worse than girls living at home did. A non-parametric ANOVA detected significantly lower levels of skills (F=8.6, p<.006), challenges (F=10.9, p<.002), enjoyment (F=9.4, p<.004) and control of the situation (F=4.1, p<.05), higher levels of anxiety (F=6.8, p<.02) and the lack of clear goals (F=5.0, p<.03).
Differences in the two groups were also found in the answers to the open-ended question 'What do you mean with being with family?'. Some of the descriptions provided by the participants are reported below:
«Being with my family above all means to share the most ordinary moments as if they were not ordinary. However, it also implies a certain amount of limitation to individual freedom» (18-year-old, home)
«It means to live in a perfectly known environment, always trying to find new things in it. To watch my brother, to try to understand my parents' mentality, so different from mine. To let them understand that my ideas are different from theirs...» (17-year-old, home)
«To spend time with people who are very close to me, whom I can talk with without being afraid of misunderstandings, who, I'm sure, love me. In some cases parents and siblings are better than friends» (16-year-old, home)
«To talk about our problems, trying to understand why there are conflicts and to find compromises» (15-year-old, institution)
«It means that we don't live together the whole week, and the weekend goes by fast» (16-year-old, institution)
«To stay with my family means trying to build up a relationship» (17-year-old, institution)
«I am very close to my family, even though I suffered because of them» (14-year-old, institution).
Girls living at home described the family interactions as part of the daily life; they perceived the family as a secure source of relationship, support and dialogue. On the contrary, institutionalized girls underlined the contrast between the ideal value and meaning of family relationships and the actually perceived quality of experience.
Further information about the role of family in the life of these adolescents was provided by Life Theme Questionnaire, which was filled out by all the 25 girls living at home, and by 16 of the institutionalized ones. Participants were first asked to list people, events, experiences which had a positive influence on their development and life history (Figure 3). Only one girl, belonging to the institutionalized group, reported not recognizing any positive influence in her life.
As shown in Figure 3, the two groups differed in the answer distribution. Almost half of the influences quoted by institutionalized girls fell into the category of social relations (45%); family (17.5%) and personal experiences (10%) followed. Adolescents living at home reported a higher variety of answers: family and study were the most frequent ones (25% and 22.5% respectively). Sports and hobbies (16.3%), social relations (15%) and personal experiences (10%) were also quoted.
All the institutionalized girls described some negative influences in their life (Figure 4). On the contrary, 5 out of 25 adolescents living at home reported not having experienced any negative influence.
For the institutionalized girls, family was by and large the most frequent source of troubles and difficulties: it comprised almost two thirds of the participants' answers (65.4%). Social relations came next, but in a much lower percentage (19.2%). Adolescents living at home again showed a wider range of answers: studying accounted for about one-third of their negative influences, followed by family (18.8%) and by social relations (16.7%).
Differences between the two groups arose from their description of present and future life expectations. When asked to quote the main challenges they were facing at the present time (see Figure 5), girls living at home reported two main issues: studying, which accounted for more than half of their answers (53,6%) and self-development (25%). The pattern was reversed for girls living in institutions: their main challenge was self-development (47.4%), followed by studying, with a much lower percentage of answers (15.8%).
As Figure 6 shows, differences were also found in the kind of goals the adolescents wished to pursue in their future life. Girls living at home reported educational and professional targets in more than half of their answers (53.1%); building a family came next, but in a much lower percentage (15.6%), closely followed by self-development (14.1%). Institutionalized girls referred with similar frequency to projects involving building their own family and study/work activities (25.8% and 22.6% of the answers respectively). They put more emphasis on social relations and wealth (9.7% and 12.9% of the answers respectively) than the girls living at home did (3.1% for both categories).
Interesting differences between girls living at home and girls living in institutions were detected, both in the quality of daily experience and in the setting of life goals. They suggest a remarkable impact of family relations on adolescents' adjustment to the environment and on their long-term developmental opportunities.
Girls living in institutions associated with optimal experience a lower number of activities. Moreover, these activities mostly concerned social interaction, either with peers or not specified. This is an uncommon result, within the whole cross-cultural set of samples examined with Flow Questionnaire. Nevertheless, it highlights the relevance assumed by interpersonal relationships for adolescents who were deprived of the secure base granted by a stable, daily family interaction. For these teenagers peers become the prominent advisors, and the points of reference in the process of emotional, cognitive and social development.
Another basic difference between the two groups concerns the complexity of the activities associated with optimal experience. Besides socializing, the activities quoted by the girls living in institution were characterized by a short-term relevance and a low level of complexity. These activities neither fostered the cultivation of specific skills, nor the participants' integration in the cultural environment. They rather provided the adolescents with vicarious relations, and with a way to escape a low-challenge and problematic context. For example, within the category 'media' four institutionalized girls associated TV with optimal experience, while no girl living at home did. Several studies (Kubey & Csikszentmihalyi, 1990; Massimini, Delle Fave & Borri Gaspardin, 1992) showed that watching TV is mainly associated with passiveness, disengagement, low levels of affect and involvement. At the cross-cultural level, people very rarely report optimal experience when watching TV, and this mostly occurs in deprived cultural contexts. This result is therefore a marker of the low level and amount of opportunities for action girls in institutions are exposed to in their daily environment.
On the contrary, girls living at home associated optimal experience with both intellectually and physically creative and demanding activities. Sports, arts, learning and reading share the common feature of a complex structure. Individuals can always find new and increasingly challenging opportunities for action in performing them, and they can subsequently improve related skills. This dynamic process toward complexity is a source of intrinsic reward by itself. At the same time, the involvement in these tasks ensures lifelong advantages, in terms of individual development and social and professional integration. It contributes to the building of a meaningful, complex and adaptive Life Theme.
As concerns the quality and role of family relationships, the experience associated with family was significantly worse for the institutionalized girls, who perceived very low challenges, uncertainty, disengagement and anxiety. On the contrary, adolescents living at home described family as a relaxing, enjoyable and comfortable daily context. This result is consistent with other cross-cultural findings on adolescents' daily family experience (Csikszentmihalyi & Larson, 1984; Delle Fave, 1998; Larson & Richards, 1994; Larson et al., 1996). Teenagers find their own way in the world, primarily investing their attention on extra-family opportunities for action (Cobb, 1996; Seiffge-Krenke, 1995). During adolescence there is a reduction in self-disclosure to parents, whereas an increasingly close relationship with peers develops (Barnes & Olson, 1985). However, the previous development of a positive attachment relationship is a prerequisite for the unfolding of exploratory behavior during adolescence (Montemayor, 1983; Steinberg, 1988). The family maintains its role as a safe context, where teenagers find relax as well as life models and advice (Bowlby, 1982; Collins, 1990).
Adolescents living in institution drew an ideal picture of family interaction, as they strove to build it; they expressed the need for a constructive and emotionally intensive relationship with family members, and they were aware of the effort required to achieve this goal. This finding is consistent with previous studies emphasizing the negative effect of family conflicts on adolescents' struggle to establish autonomy and relatedness in the interaction with parents (Allen, Hauser, O'Connor, Bell, et al., 1996).
Girls living in institution built their own identity mainly through the cultivation of social relationships in the community and with peers, more generally through extra-familial socialization agents, who they reported among the positive influences. On the contrary, they quoted family as the prominent negative influence in their life, primarily because of the difficulties in building emotional ties with the parents, and the feeling of insecurity deriving from family break-up.
Adolescence is a challenge by itself: it is a period of change and identity construction, and teens face internal and interpersonal conflicts on the path toward adulthood. However, for the girls living at home, in a positive family context, the turmoil of teenage years was smoothed by a stable, supporting private environment: the adolescents could turn their psychic resources toward educational challenges, which would contribute to the personal development as well as the social integration of the participants. Institutionalized girls, on the contrary, had to cope with transition to adulthood by means of their own efforts only. They had to look for adult models outside the family context, in a social environment not always supportive or edifying, without guides to sufficiently rely upon. In this perspective, it is not surprising that the most frequent challenge they reported was self growth.
Finally, in the description of future life goals adolescent students living with their family pursued academic and professional achievements, in line with their present main investment of psychic energy. The finding is consistent with other cross-cultural research studies (Kalakoski & Nurmi, 1998; Patterson, Sochting & Marcia, 1992). Girls in institutions devoted an equivalent amount of attention toward work and family-related goals. This is partially due to the fact that some of them already had a job, and had accomplished the compulsory education courses. Nevertheless, their concern with their own future family, and the high amount of resources they devoted to the building of strong close relationships, could be also ascribed to the need for a stable context providing intimacy and support.
Individual development and intervention strategies
The identity formation at the personal and social levels has deep roots in the quality of family relationships. As the present study showed, the quality of experience perceived in the daily interaction with the environment, as well as the direction and complexity of the individual developmental path are strongly influenced by family models and interaction patterns.
Psychological selection is a subjective, idiosyncratic process: an individual can be able to find opportunities for action and self expression in otherwise low-supporting contexts. However, the basic intimate relationships and the early family experiences play a key role in shaping specific developmental trajectories. The comparison between adolescents living in intact, non-conflictual families, and teenagers subtracted to disrupted and/or harmful family environments clearly highlighted the different developmental consequences of the two family structures and relations.
Of course, the very limited size of the samples, and the primarily qualitative nature of the results do not allow for any consideration about causality. However, the findings give some interesting hints of the relationship between daily quality of experience, environmental background, individual developmental and setting of life goals.
Some suggestions for intervention with maladjusted adolescents can be drawn from this investigation. The insufficient and often detrimental role played by the family has to be taken into account, in order to provide adolescents with an alternative supportive environment, fostering growth and self esteem. Communities and institutions should focus on individual potentials, and should help adolescents discover meaningful, complex opportunities for action. Individual predisposition and intrinsic motivation should be sustained, in order to promote the cultivation of adaptive and long-term relevant opportunities for optimal experience. To achieve this aim, an environment is needed which supports autonomy and the active search for meanings and goals, encouraging free involvement and the selection of challenging and socially accepted interests and activities (Levy, 1996).
The most important role of communities is to enable adolescent to pursue social integration and de-institutionalization (Arieli, Beker & Kashti, 1990). The individual's active engagement in the process is a basic prerequisite to ensure positive long-term outcomes (Oles, 1991). In the perspective of psychological selection, individual is located at the core of the replication and transmission of bio-cultural information. Although the environment can seriously obstacle and even distort the personal development path, the adolescent's effort and ability to find a personalized way toward complexity have to be primarily supported.

He is to America what Paul Revere was to the Brits—without the horsemanship, the lanterns, and the Longfellow.
Fairly in the midst of them, quite as gaudy to look upon and every whit as reckless in their horsemanship, rode Dade and Jack.
There was no feat of horsemanship to which he was not equal.
He rode back a short distance, and used all the arts of his horsemanship to reduce his refractory steed to obedience.
I only felt drearily that I had had my last ride, I had had enough of horsemanship for ever!
We saw one exhibition of horsemanship which especially excited our admiration.
horsemanship is with them, as with the Arab of the Sahara, a necessary part of their education.
An exhibition of horsemanship followed, on Victoria's part, which Mr. Crewe beheld with admiration.
Each was a master of fence, and the horsemanship was as perfect.
I am sadly deficient in horsemanship; indeed, I was never on a horse in my life.

OLYMPIA – Feb. 4, 2014 – An increase in business and consumer spending boosted the state's taxable retail sales by 7.6 percent for the third quarter of 2013. Taxable retail sales between July 1 and Sept. 30, 2013 reached $31 billion – a $2.2 billion increase over the same period in 2012, according to the Washington State Department of Revenue's (Revenue) quarterly analysis.
"The increase in taxable retail sales was driven by auto sales and new construction," Revenue Director Carol K. Nelson said. "This increase in spending shows that consumer confidence in Washington continues to improve and is at its highest level since the Great Recession."
Third quarter retail trade purchases increased by 5.4 percent over the same time the year before.
Retail trade is a subset of total taxable retail sales and includes purchases of clothes, home furnishings, books, cars and general merchandise but excludes sales in industries such as manufacturing and construction.

Of the ideas he treats in the same sceptical spirit which appears in his criticism of them in the Parmenides.
Parmenides had asserted, on priori grounds, the existence of "the One."
This argument of Parmenides is the memorable argument known under the name of ὁ τρίτος ἄνθρωπος.
Here, is in the Parmenides, he means something not really different from generalization.
As far as I can see, the puzzling antinomies in the Parmenides have no other purpose.
To the passionate language of Parmenides, Plato replies in a strain equally passionate:—What!
You propose to me, Parmenides (remarks Sokrates), a work of awful magnitude.
To the Parmenides, the Sophist stands in a less defined and more remote relation.
We must therefore suppose that the Parmenides was composed later than Aristotle, and borrowed this objection from Aristotle.
He felt no incongruity in the veteran Parmenides correcting the youthful Socrates.

Poland bars overflight by Russian minister
19:14 29/08/2014
Moscow - Poland has refused permission for a plane carrying Russian Defence Minister Sergei Shoigu to fly through its airspace while attempting to return from a visit to Slovakia, RIA news agency said on Friday.
RIA said the minister's plane turned around and landed back in the Slovak capital Bratislava.
The reason for the reported incident was unclear. Poland has been one of the countries most critical of Russia's actions in the Ukraine crisis, accusing it of aggression against its neighbour.

Anmh Polk 2014/08/29 07:26:04 PM
Well done - bravo, Poland - for standing up to the Russian bullies. Everyone always seems to blame America for being a bully. So why so little blame apportioned to Russia when it invades the Crimea and Ukraine? Why?
VoxPopuli 2014/08/29 09:26:44 PM
They didn't stand up too long, they changed their minds and allowed him in. America has destroyed several weak countries under the guise of "they hate us for our freedom". Russia didn't invade Crimea, people voted to be part of what was Russian anyway before a Ukrainian gave it away. And why can folks in Falklands vote to be part of the UK but Crimean can't? And we're still waiting on evidence of a Russian invasion into Ukraine, it's Friday and I'm surprised they haven't destroyed a column of Russian tanks this Friday
OrbitingTeapot 2014/08/30 06:18:16 PM
Anmh Polk. I take it that you are also angry at the US for annexing half of Mexico and the Hawaii Islands as well?
WollieVerstege 2014/09/01 05:57:56 PM
@Vox You do know that the reason that the Crimean election results are not accepted is that the turnout was far below the required number to be acknowledged by either the EU or UN?
Diana Gill 2014/08/29 07:34:07 PM
Sour grapes or should I say rotten apples?
VoxPopuli 2014/08/29 08:10:25 PM
They're still upset over apples..... You heard they tried smuggling it into Russia by slapping "product of Zimbabwe" stickers on it? Bob's looking for money in china doesn't even know hes shipping apples to Russia LoL
Diana Gill 2014/08/29 08:17:54 PM
That's a huge progress leap -from number 1 apple exporter in Europe to number1 dried fruit producer and consumer. A hell of a reason to be upset.
VoxPopuli 2014/08/29 08:23:06 PM
I can't stop laughing about it, 'cause when it was first mentioned the poles posted selfies of themselves eating apples. Well, they'll have to eat a sh*tload of it now to make up GDP shortfall!!, LoL
Diana Gill 2014/08/29 08:40:51 PM
Our fat pig also launched a whole big campaign called Eat an apple - spite Putin. Damn if they only learned how to be proud of what they are and stopped living for the sake of spiting someone, things in Ukraine would have improved years ago.
Diana Gill 2014/08/29 07:49:11 PM
Hey Waldo why do you feel a need to discuss female genitals under an article not related to sex at all? Haven't seen any in your life?
David Jones 2014/08/29 08:43:57 PM
I don't know what Putin thinks about this but right now he is comparing Kiev's drive to take cities in the east of Ukraine to the Nazi invasion of the Soviet Union in World War Two. It is very dangerous to cross Russians at this time
Mark Russell 2014/08/30 05:52:02 AM
The Apple eating campaign has turned from smiles to frowns in Poland. After eating apples for a month or so it loses its appeal. Russia your played the EU completely. Polands blow job from the USA had ended in teeth.... That is what happens when you blindly follow orders from the world's largest weapons dealers with the world's worst human rights records.
Moses Phillip Maruwati 2014/08/30 07:53:10 AM
Poland is alright
OrbitingTeapot 2014/08/30 06:20:11 PM
They are also a NATO puppet state.
Bob Mearly 2014/08/30 07:55:59 AM
Well done Poland, all those supporting Russia support armed invasions of other countries. Ukraine is an independent country being invaded by one of the so called super powers and you think this is okay?
Nathania Goosen 2014/08/30 09:45:29 AM
You have no idea what you are talking about. The Ukraine government is the one killing women and children. His soldiers are fleeing over to Russia and the people are protesting against Poroshenko they want him to resign. stop watching cnn news or bbc they are a bunch of lairs and has been proven so.
Nathania Goosen 2014/08/30 09:35:32 AM
I always thought the polish president is stupid. Winter is coming and when it comes to gas they need Russia, i know the polish people hate the Russian's. There is a saying keep friends close but your enemies even closer.

Bangladesh's loss by an innings in the first Test was their 30th defeat in 33 matches, none of which they have won.
"I honestly believe that the talent in this country is the same sort of talent that you get anywhere in the sub-continent," said Whatmore.
"It's easy for (the media) to say that the technique is not right, but that's not correct."
Sri Lanka-born Whatmore, who played Test cricket for Australia, conceded that his team had lost the initiative early against India.
The top order crumbled to 50-5 in the first innings and 36-5 chasing 323 just for parity in the second.
"The new ball did the damage in both the innings. That was the start of it," said Whatmore.
"It makes it very difficult when you lose three or four wickets in the first 10 overs. We were playing catch-up cricket after that.
"We need to try and not hand the advantage to the opposition early. We need to do a bit of fighting to keep it even for a while.
"That is one that comes from looking at the scoreboard. You need to understand the game and the situation that Bangladesh is in globally.
"You must remember that not long ago we came within a whisker of winning [against Pakistan] in Multan.
"I can feel your frustration, but I plead with everyone to have some more patience. The boys are not doing this intentionally."
Irfan Pathan was named man of the match for his 11-wicket performance, the best by an Indian pace bowler in a Test on foreign soil.
"He is getting better and better with each game," said India captain Sourav Ganguly.
"He is just 20 and he has got a lot cricket ahead of him. He has to shoulder the responsibility of Indian fast bowling for quite some time."
Ganguly admitted the home side "played well in patches".
"They bowled well in the first session of the second day. They picked up three wickets.
"There were a few dropped chances, but it's still a learning curve for them. It's early days in international cricket for them, so you have to give them time."
