Pascoe, Somaxon's President and Chief Executive Officer. "This process will focus on strategic alternatives, which may include one or more of a sale of the company or assets relating to Silenor, or partnering or other collaboration transactions relating to U.S. or ex-U.S. prescription or over-the-counter rights to Silenor." "While we are conducting this process, we will continue to market Silenor in the U.S. to existing prescribers through our 30-person sales force and non-personal promotion, and to protect the intellectual property position of the product," continued Pascoe. "We will also undertake measures to minimize our cash burn rate, including through a reduction in force involving approximately 60% of our current non-field-based employees." The exploration of strategic alternatives may not result in any agreement or transaction and, if completed, any agreement or transaction may not be successful or on attractive terms.

Spring Walk and Hairy Cattle28 March 2014
The nature slowly starts to wake up.
Here in Scandinavia the spring is very slow, compared to the rest of Europe.
Every new little flower and progresses in the nature make me happy.
And I just have to capture it through the camera.
A great benefit with running my own business is that I manage the time myself.
I can go for a long walk after lunch if I want to.
On this particular walk I brought my new lens, to see if we can be friends.
I think we will be best friends!
On my walk I met these highland cattle.
Quite hairy ones. I'd love to touch their fur but just one look at the horns and I decided not to...

Thu. July 22, 2010 | Andy Villamarzo
HOLIDAY — Anclote wide receiver Dondre Daley's dazzling spring game performance against Gulf was something of a coming out party for the junior.
A virtual unknown going into the spring, Daley has emerged as one of the top receivers in Pasco County, and it appears the Sharks prodigy is after something more than just being Anclote's top threat on offense.
Daley is looking to lead second-year Anclote to its first victory after an 0-10 season in 2009. And he believes that one win is not enough.
"I think we can win possibly two or three games this coming fall," Daley said. "We want to show everyone we're not like last year's team. Everything is coming together well so we should win a couple games."
The developing tandem of Daley and sophomore quarterback John Forgione is a reason for optimism.
In the spring game, Forgione connected with Daley on passes of 26 and 9 yards, the latter a touchdown. And in Pasco County's unofficial 7-on-7 league, the Sharks have only lost twice in more than 10 games.
"It's just amazing throwing to someone like (Daley)," Forgione said. "He's someone I can just put the ball up there in his general direction and know he will make a play on the ball. We have been working very hard on really building a good connection on and off the field."
Daley wasn't always the go-to-guy at receiver. He had to transition from running back after growing a few inches to 6-foot-2. At Paul R. Smith Middle School, Daley could be seen lining up at running back and receiver for the Eagles. Even last season Daley lined up several times at tailback.
"I didn't even care that I was moved out to receiver," Daley said. "I just want to go out there and help the team however I can."
The in-game experience factor was something the first-year Sharks were missing last year. Now with a year under their belts, coach Matt Wicks believes the second time around has really helped his players mesh and build camaraderie.
Wicks said 40 kids on average are in the weight room this summer, more than the program had going into last year all together. After workouts, Forgione throws to receivers and gets in extra reps in the weight room. Wicks also mixed up the varsity coaching staff, bringing on Aaron Harris as running backs coach. Harris, also the new JV coach, played at Penn State under Joe Paterno.
"I think the difference this summer is having that year under your belt," Wicks said.
"You got kids coming from virtually three different programs coming together. I think we have a better level of maturity, a level of understanding knowing they all have each other's back kind of thing. I got rid of some coaches last year and hired some new coaches who I feel are going to make us a better football team."
Anclote's next step is getting that elusive first win, which could lead to even more encouraging things this fall.
"It's still going to be a struggle for us every time out because nothing is going to be given to us," Wicks said. "I made a statement a while back saying I think we can go 3-7 this fall and I still totally believe in that."

[WHO] Ros Marsden, author of a book on manners.
[WHAT] Manners help people navigate life and are about kindness, not etiquette.
[HOW] Treat people as you'd like to be treated - and take the bloody phone off the table.
Courtesy ought not to be seen as optional - we owe it to each other. In a world where technology has created an explosion of communication, particularly through so-called social media, decency and respect are more important than ever.
Yet so many seem ignorant of manners. Manners are rooted in the principle that you should treat others as you would like to be treated; they are about empathy.
Manners are not about being stuffy or formal. They differ from etiquette, which is a set of socially nuanced rules that can be disempowering and undermining because they create markers by which people might be unfairly judged. Manners are about kindness. Etiquette is often used unkindly.
Today's guest in The Zone has written a book to assist people, young people in particular, use manners to help navigate the modern world - F… Bombs! The Handy Manners Guide To Make Your Life Easier (Wilkinson Publishing).
Ros Marsden has had a long career in media, starting as a television researcher and producer. She is currently working at Fairfax Media, publisher of this newspaper and the national suite of sites and apps that carry The Zone, as communications manager for Australian Community Media.
A short video statement by Marsden and the full transcript of our discussion are at theage.com.au/federal-politics/the-zone. She will be online for an hour from midday to respond to questions and comments, which can be submitted from early this morning.
''Manners I see as essential for our enjoyment of society … I want to provide opportunities for young people to have useful data around them that may help them traverse life a lot more easily than they might be able to at the moment.''
One of the things that informed the book is Marsden's long experience with depression, which she suffered so profoundly that she was hospitalised. She says recovering from the illness is the hardest thing she has ever done and is something she is proud of.
''I now look at teenagers very differently. I look at them as remarkable people, because a lot of our insecurities start as teenagers, and a lot of our questioning of life and how we belong starts as a teenager …
''It all ties in for me; having gone through a great deal of personal trauma, I would like to think that I can encourage young people to deal with things a little more easily, in my own way.''
The lack of courtesy and decency on social media extend to abuse and bullying and can have terrible outcomes. The recent death by suicide of media figure and former model Charlotte Dawson after years of vicious online abuse, much of which was posted by anonymous people on her Twitter account, is a prominent example.
Anonymity is a fundamental issue. Behind avatars and pseudonyms, people allow themselves to publicly state things they would not say were they identifiable or were they face to face with the target of their abuse or nastiness.
There are good reasons for anonymity in places where people are using social media to fight dictatorial regimes, as was the case during the Arab Spring, when social media was pivotally important in public uprisings that brought fundamental political and social change in several nations including Libya, Yemen, Tunisia and Egypt. People were risking their lives, so needed the protection of anonymity.
That justification does not exist in Australia. ''Being anonymous is cowardly, because it is much easier to say things that are cruel or nasty when you don't have to put your name to it,'' Marsden says.
Being targeted online, anonymously or otherwise, can be deeply distressing - particularly for young people.
''When you're dealing with peers you're seeing the next day at school, it is very hard to then be brave enough to have an open discussion that could actually make it worse for you.
''You almost have to look at it as an individual thing of how you respond. You either ignore it, and that is not a bad way of going, or you try to talk to that person directly.
''But that can be very challenging when you're young and when you have got a lot of other factors with friendships going on. It depends on your experience and your age.''
Other experts on bullying stress the importance of seeking support from trusted friends and adults. It is also advised to block abusive people from your account and to report attacks.
Manners, Marsden says, can help young people withstand bastardry. ''Manners can help you tackle areas where you might need to be resilient - when you are faced with situations that are difficult or confronting. Manners give you an opportunity to step back and think about the best way to respond to the issues that you're facing.''
Some times the best way to respond is not to respond at all; Marsden says manners help her resist sending rash or potentially rude responses to annoying emails.
Another problem is that the term ''social media'' is an inadequate description of what is happening online. A better term is ''open media'', because communication conduits such as Twitter and Facebook are really publishing platforms.
The term ''social media'' can create a false sense of security; the same laws that apply to any publisher apply to anyone who uses these sites and applications. Anything posted on these public places is, for example, liable to action for defamation. They are subject, too, to sections of the Commonwealth Criminal Code that cover using the internet to make threats, cause offence or harass.
As recently as last week, a former student was ordered to pay $105,000 to a NSW school teacher for defaming her on Twitter and Facebook. The judge said the comments had a devastating effect on the teacher, who took sick leave and was only able to eventually return to work on a limited basis.
''By calling it open media you are really pinpointing it is public, and the same laws of the land do apply … There is a lack of understanding that you are liable for everything that you put anywhere - including online.''
Marsden's book, which uses simple, clear language and lots of photographs and graphics, covers far more than the internet. It has chapters on anger, dress, swearing, apologising, being discreet, obstinacy, lending and borrowing, vanity, jokes, greetings, shopping, cultural sensitivity and behaviour on public transport.
One of the things Marsden focuses on in our discussion is the lack of consideration people show in their use of telephones on public transport. ''On the train people are talking so loudly on their phone that I am hearing conversations I don't believe should even be aired in public. I have heard domestic arguments. I have heard real estate negotiations. I have heard people talking loudly about the company they are working for, without any knowledge of who else is in the carriage with them.''
[WHO] Ros Marsden, author of book on manners
The ill-mannered use of telephones extends beyond trains and trams. Like so many of us, Marsden finds it disconcerting and rude when people place their phones on the table during lunch and dinner, for example.
''It means that they are not interested in me. They may as well pick up a copy of the newspaper and put it in front of my face and we'll have our meal like that. Having dinner together is a fundamentally social event. Why do you have dinner together? It is to share conversation and to share ideas, to enjoy food, to enjoy good wine, to enjoy coffee.''
There is enlightened self-interest, too, in being well mannered. Marsden says it is imperative young people understand their online behaviour creates a revealing record that will be checked by potential employers and partners - and indeed can be seen by anyone.
''Those things are really vital to think about. That measurement of 'if my best friend or my grandmother saw it would I be OK with that' is a good one. You need to believe that what you're putting out in the public space you will be happy to see in 10 years' time or more.''
Manners are timeless. Marsden is not arguing things were necessarily better in her day and that the younger generations are clueless. Her entreaty, rather, is for all us to keep ourselves nice in an increasingly open and interconnected world where so much of what we do is visible and permanently archived in cyberspace.
Marsden stresses manners can help us deal with the bustling pace of modern life by creating space to reflect before acting. They are not rigid rules - they are about humanity and making people feel comfortable and valued.
''All of us want a satisfying life with some comfort and kindness around it. We all crave kindness.''
The Zone is about activism and advocacy. It seeks to bring fresh thoughts into the free market for ideas. It is collaborative, presenting arguments for moving from what is the case to what ought to be the case.

In this issue we revisit some topics we featured in earlier issues. We also look at the application of spinning-wheel maker's marks and search for a wheel by a special wheel maker from northeast Connecticut.
Picardy Spinning Wheels Revisited
Pat Bownas of Poughkeepsie, NY, wrote about Picardy-style spinning wheels in Issue #27. Since then she has acquired three more examples (Margaret, Picardy Rose, and Libby) and learned about the one owned by Carol O'Neale Culnan of Strasburg, VA. She tells us what she has discovered about them.
A Thomas Richard
Tilt-Tension Spinning Wheel
When Roger Hill of Lena, IL, discovered a Quebec tilt-tension wheel in Iowa, he knew it was special. But it wasn't until he was restoring it, and was able to compare it to a wheel of similar structure, that he could appreciate just how special it was. He describes this wheel marked Thomas Richard and studies the characteristics of tilt-tension wheels.
All items from the collection of Roger Hill
Spinning-Wheel Maker Marks
As long-time tool collectors, Sue and Milt Bacheller of Plainville, MA, are very knowledgeable about toolmakers' marks. They explain how the marks were made and applied.
A Spinning Wheel by Obadiah Higginbotham
Usually wheel collectors find a spinning wheel with a name on it and try to learn about the maker. Deb Townshend knows a lot about the 18th-century spinning-wheel maker Obadiah Higginbotham from Pomfret, CT. Now she would like to find an example of his spinning wheels to buy.
Both photos by Thomas Neill
Two "Blodgett" Wheel-Head
Accelerating wheel heads are a topic we have discussed in several issues. Roger Hill has found two wheel heads with slightly different labels with the name A. Blodgett on them. As usual, these labels raise more questions than they answer.

About Richard

I know you can absolutely build the life of your dreams, I've helped so many people do that already, I'd love you to be the next, here's my story…
Who Is Richard Matharoo?
It's 2015 and 3 years since I made some big changes in my life and started in the home business industry, before I briefly take you back to the absolute mess I was in back in 2012, let me share my current lifestyle and some of my results:-
5 Figure Per Month Earner
Personally Recruited Over 500 People Into My Network Marketing Team
Over $250, 000 In Company Product Sales
Over $60k Personal Product Sales
Qualified For Every Single Incentive On Offer In My Network Marketing Company

As I write the list above I have to pinch myself, I absolutely love teaching fellow Home Business like you to create leads, sales, recruit and build a full-time network marketing business as well as travel around the world speaking on stage.
Matt Nearly Quit…Went On To Double His Team in 7 Days
There's so many techniques and tactics to teach you that I know flat-out work, my main focus is the internet because it's totally flexible, open 24/7, allows you to build a solid reputation regardless of your results or budget (plenty of free tactics for beginners) and no matter how busy your schedule is can fit around your day-to-day life.
I'm so grateful to be able to help you, especially when you consider where I was just over 3 years ago…
Back To 2011…
Ever took a look at your life and thought "What happened?" That's exactly the point I reached back just over 3 years ago, I was embarrassed at what I'd become…
The 6 figure business my wife and I had built had failed in the recession and left us with £40k debt, we lost everything we'd worked for the last 12 years.
My daughter was coming up 1-year-old, I was working 80 hours per week so hardly saw her awake…that was really painful
I'd let my stress get to a level that impacted my health…I was gaining weight and suffering memory loss
I lost someone very close to me for the 1st time had began to lose faith in almost everything
Can You At All Relate?
Now perhaps you are facing a much worse situation than that, but what I hope you take from this is that you can make a huge improvement in all areas of your life in a relatively short time…
even if you feel you're down to your last shred of hope.
What I learned and what I want you to know is sometimes all success takes is having the courage to jump in!
I know you know there's more inside of you, the best of your results and success to show those around you and yourself that you are a winner and be proud.
Gary From The USA Was looking For Leadership & Support
You know working 40 hours per week for 40 years in the hope of a 40% pension from a job that sucked the majority of your time away from those you love is not the way you were supposed to live your one life.
Perhaps like me you want to be the example of what to do and how to be a champion for your children to follow
Maybe you simply want to get out of a rut and experience more because you feel like a spectator in your own life…I've been there!
You CAN Do it (How To Create Success)!
Something that Network Marketing and the amazing mentors I still work with to grow is focus on what you can control…your actions!
Here's a list of the top 5 ways I personally went from 40k in debt to 5 figure months and how you can create your own success too:-
More Desires Than Excuses – When you want it bad enough you'll find a way.
Consistency Trumps Talent – I have no natural skill, but no one outworks me, that I can control and so can you.
Invest in Yourself – Your success is a direct result of the person you are, its common sense when you invest in education, you improve and so do your results.
Free Is Often Expensive – Everyone can give free advice, the people worth listening to are the ones that have the results you want and teaching information worth investing in.
Value – A major reason to build online is to reach so many more people with your message, help those people and in turn build your business ethically and exponentially
Lynda Was Close To Giving Up…Now She's A Full Time Home Business Owner
How To Build Network Marketing Success
Specifically in Network Marketing I'd say there's 2 major ways I changed my actions that have led me to a 5 figure per month business with no previous experience:-
Invest In Mentoring/products – Finding people who have what you want and finding a way to pay them to teach you how to do the same = the fastest way to the top
Using The Internet – Once you've exhausted your list of family & friends, what next?
To reach thousands of people 24/7 with your product, service or opportunity whether you are there or not…you just can't beat the internet for reach, convenience and growth potential (plus it's so much easier than you'd imagine)
The Lesson & How YOU Can Build Success
For far too long I'd become a victim of my circumstances and was using my (back then) struggles to serve as an excuse for not taking action..big mistake!
You if you're doing the same every day you don't take action is a day you and (like me) your family suffers unnecessarily…who chooses to do that, right!
The challenge comes from understanding we don't know what we don't know. You may feel big results & success are for "other people" and that you couldn't possibly achieve the same or greater, incorrect!
See look at my story, your story and other success stories and you'll see a commonality…
we've all faced challenges, the question is where do YOU go from here?
See I believe there's greatness in you, I love this industry like you do too and I know with the right tactics, taking action, surrounding you with the right connections and inspiration, just like myself and so many others I've helped you can become a champion in Network Marketing & life too!
What I want you to do 1st of all is be open to accept that…
…YOU can become a big success YOU can hit the top rank in your company YOU can be on stage sharing how YOU turned things around YOU can achieve what we both know is in you somewhere and that is to win!
Sometimes you have to believe in the belief that another has in you before your own belief kicks in!
I believe in you, I believe in Network Marketing, I believe in what I teach and I believe and hope you'll use my story, this website and all the value I promise to share with you so that one day you will contact me and you can share what a huge superstar in life and home business you are!

and walking across the park in a dusky snowfall.
The trees stand like twenty-seven prophets in a field,
each a station in a pilgrimage—silent, pondering.

Niagara Town Board paves way to allowing old park to be sold
TOWN OF NIAGARA – The Town Board acted quickly Wednesday to pass a special resolution that would clear the way for the state to approve the sale of a former park.
During a work session, the board went into a regular meeting to pass a home rule resolution that is needed by the State Legislature to allow the town to sell a former park site on Young Street.
According to town attorney Michael Risman, local approval is necessary for a resolution to be presented in Albany that would allow the park to be "alienated" so it can be transferred to a non-park use. Assemblyman John Ceretto and State Sen. George Maziarz are to sponsor the bill, it was noted. The board passed a measure last week to ask the state lawmakers to prepare the bill. The state bill is expected to be voted on early next week.
The parcel is about 3.6 acres and hasn't been used as a park for 10 years when it was put up for sale, Risman said. CBI Express, a shipping and packaging company that has an outlet on Military Road, wants to build a new facility there that would employ about 25 people, according to the discussion.
Councilman Charles Teixeira asked Risman and Deputy Supervisor Sylvia Virtuoso not to reveal the purchase price of the property as "it is not a done deal." He said because the sale contract is still open, details should be kept confidential. The packaging firm plans to start building in September.
Also at Wednesday's meeting, the board agreed to sell the water department's existing stock of meters, shut-off valves, couplings and other related equipment that contain lead in order to comply with the federal lead-free requirements for drinking water that take effect next year.
Water and sewer superintendent Ed Adamczyk said he has about $100,000 worth of supplies that can be sold as scrap, and that the money can be used to buy lead-free materials. He noted that he has known about the law for about three years and has stopped buying materials that contain lead. A list is expected to be presented to the board next month.

OK, So Maybe Chelsea Handler And 50 Cent Aren't Dating
"Everyone, calm down. I met with Mr. Cent about a potential project. There's nothing to report yet, I'll let you know if there is."
—Chelsea Handler took to Twitter to quiet the rumor that she and 50 Cent are dating after they were photographed together at a New Orleans jazz club. Ahh man, we still think this pairing is kinda cute, in a weird way. [PopEater]

Top Ten Excuses: Governor Sanford
Last night I had the house to myself (the remote) so I settled down to a warm teev to see what the world has to say about Governor Sanford.
What a nice looking guy, seriously. You can see why we're all so upset. He seems so presidential, has a little of the Lincoln jaw.
Anyway, the media is brutal and I'm pretty worried about the Gov's mental health. A sensitive man like him could get suicidal listening to what I heard last night, pundits and comics blasting him to smithereens. So we won't blast here, not much.
On the other hand, there's so much to blast.
You play you pay, Governor. And we learn all kinds of things, do we not, from our elected officials.
David Letterman feels sorry for not only the first family, but also the good people of South Carolina who have to endure this embarrassment. The governor, facing television cameras tells us:
(a) he went hiking
(b) he was exhausted
(c) he needed to get away
(d) he's really, really sorry--the list went on like the thank you speeches at the Academy Awards, and
(e) oh yeah, he had an affair.
He should have come clean, continues Letterman, should have told us straight up: I was taking care of business. You don't say, I was hiking on the Appalachian Trail. Say, I had s a board of trade meeting in South America. I'm looking at silos.
Letterman's top ten excuses. We'll add our own in a second.
10. Did I say hiking? I meant, cheating!
9. I had to do something after the devastating news about Jon and Kate!
8. I learned everything I know from Governor Spitzer.
7. Let's talk about more important things, like the Nestle Tollhouse cookie recall.
6. I learned everything I know from Governor McGreevey (apparently McG had an affair with his limo driver)
5. It's Ahminadajab's fault.
4. If you met my wife, you'd leave the country, too.
3. I'm auditioning for the Amazing Race (whatever that is)
2. If you run the state and have to leave the country for a week, since when do you need to tell someone?
1. It wasn't me, it was my alter ego, Bruno.
So let's add a few!
10. I can't communicate well with my wife, can't tell or show her what I need or want, it's too embarrassing to talk that way.
9. After all, she's really scary. Have you met her?
(She looks like the nicest person you'll ever want to meet, and she doesn't need him, by the way, her family owns the Skill tool company and has an MBA).
8. I have no imagination, zero.
7. I believe that it is women who are responsible for keeping their men interested, and that means they should be tan, preferably show tan lines.
6. If you have a close friend then how are you supposed to be able to stop that friendship from becoming sexual? Especially if you share so many of the same things, like you both have children? And why wouldn't you ask her for her email address?
5. I have an honest face, the people love me, I can get away with this. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can.
4. Denial is just a river in Egypt. Maybe I'll go there, too, check out some silos.
3. I'm in politics. What do you want?
2. I have a spiritual adviser so I'm working on it. Love the sinner, hate the sin.
1. And as Bob and Ray, that famous radio comedy team used to say, paraphrasing Nixon
NUTS! I'll never run again!

Good ones Therapy Doc. I'm wondering though when the marriage became a desert. I don't care much about his sexual conduct (I like what the Big Book says on, of all places, page 69). But it seems that he has estranged himself so much from the people of the state, the legislators, and others before the affair ever surfaced. Now there is sufficient cannon fodder to blast him out of office.
I would say that if he makes restitution for using tax payer dollars for his trips (if he did that), for being AWOL from the job, and can focus back on the job of being the gov. for this messed up state, then I am willing to say don't resign. And I have the opposite of political views from the Gov. But I don't want to see anyone broken and kicked. And an amends (with change of behavior) is acceptable.

I don't have cable, but when I'm up @ my friends' I like to watch the Rachel Maddow show on MSNBC. She devoted WAY too much of the show to this last night. Close to 40mins. This deserves 15 tops. NEXT! Who cares that much? I sure don't. I had a much more intrequing conversation about my friend's sexuality...

Oh, I would say tan but no tan lines is preferable ... more sexy, wouldn't you? Come on wives, keep your man interested!
"Get therapy" is right.
Nevertheless, these media spotlights on marital infidelity are such a horrific intrusion on family privacy. I wish we would cut it out, already.

I'll tell you why I care. A person who holds himself up to be a leader should lead people. And this direction, the way this leader is going, and the way other "leaders" seem to go, whether political or religious, by the way, is not the direction that I want my grandchildren to go.
It is covert permission that says: People get mixed up. Sorry.
Don't. Don't get mixed up. Not if we elect you to lead us.
Fine, I'm finished.

I do not care who he chooses to share his bed and body with. Even if he is a leader.
I do care, however, that he denounced others whose actions are comparable.
The e-mails (I confess I read them) are so cheesy that I am certain it is his first transgression. And I bet he is in love.
The transgression itself, I can shrug off. In congress with denouncements of others who cut roughly the same path? Not so much.

Agh! There's way too much time being spent on this!
What bugs me about it is that it's so commonplace that it doesn't even surprise us anymore.
And how do people who choose to live their lives so publicy, by going into politics, movies, etc., come to believe that they will not get caught behaving this way? There's got to be so much arrogance required to think that you can get away with whatever you try.

Of all the excuses I've heard, so far, the only one I care about (only because he is a leader) is that he broke a sacred promise to his wife and in doing so, he gave us all permission to doubt him, to doubt his promises to us, to KNOW that he is not dependable and worthy of our trust and our well being that was placed in him when he took office.
If he will betray her, he will betray anybody else especially those of us he doesn't even know.

yep he screwed up, yep he covered it up, yep he lied about it all. Perhaps therapy rather than persecution might be in order after all we all live by own morals and yet do as he does and screw them up all the time. But we so like telling other people they are worse than us so we can feel better.
And heck i have even heard of him and i live in australia .

Well I'm actually a resident of SC and honestly the affair doesn't bug me. What bugs me is, 1. the denouncement of others in similar situations and religiousizing (not a word, I know) of politics 2. he decided to leave for 7 days, not tell anyone and not make arrangements should any decisions need to be made (it is hurricane season afterall). I'm sure he would have checked in eventually, but the whole thing was handled badly, from the answers his office gave, the dropping of his security detail, the leaving the country in secret . . . Just bad politics and he should have known better.
I can see his need for him to get a break. On Wed before he disappeared his republican-run legislature overturned 10 of his vetoes. 10! That speaks volumes of his politics . . . he is always at war with our legislature and they are from the same party!
McGreevey's scandal (I was a resident of NJ at that time) was that he announced he was gay, which the state didn't care about, what we cared about was that he made his young boyfriend head of the NJ dept of homeland security.

Thank you, thank you. That was great.
What we're going to hear, you heard it here first, is that Gov Sanford will say that he's bi-polar, or uni-polar, or cyclo-thymic, we'll hear some diagnosis for this philandering.
But I'm going to tell you that there's only one, and that's sociopathy. If you want to cheat, you tell your spouse, let's break up, I want to have sex with someone else.
OR, you say, what do you think about that, how should we handle it?
You don't haul off and cheat on her.
Be a mensh, for crying out loud. (a human being, as opposed to an animal.
- June 26, 2009 at 9:15 AM
I really could care less about people's sexual escapades, but like you therapy doc, I'm more concerned with the position that he ASKED to be in in leading the state of S. Carolina. If you desire to live a double life, then don't go into politics, plain and simple. And he had a total lack of responsibility by not being at all available. Total lack of responsibility,or sense of anything but egocentricity. Now. Let's move on already. To something MUCH more important, like Michael Jackson's issues! Hah!

I think I was too harsh calling his behavior sociopathic. But that other part of the comment, he'll. . .

I recently asked you about countertransference, and you asked for more specifics. I guess I'll just give you the scenario. Of course, I'm changing some things to protect and because I'm HIPPA compliant....
I have an 18 year old client who was adopted 3 years ago from another country. She has another year of high school, which makes her not really independent yet. Her father had died suddently, her mother abandoned her and drank heavily after this occurance. She spent some time in an orphanage, where there were apparently no rules. She is naive and developmentally immature. She is gorgeous though and has picked up on the language well. She doesn't like the rules in her house and recently simply told her parents she wasn't coming home for the night. Her parents, who had been thru this before with her told her she either needed to come home at appointed time, or she'd have to have independent living. They held their word. Of course things went down hill. I tried to help her get into the youth shelter here which she is still eligible for because she is in high school.
I have a hard time counseling her and find the counter transference very strong. I should mention that I have an 18 and 15 year old son. I have attempted to talk to her in the "how do you plan to take care of this predicament" but I find myself spending a lot of time on how unsafe her behaviors are, on how she will struggle living on her own, on "just follow your parents rules and this won't be an issue". She's also very quiet and reserved by nature, so there's a lot of silence. HOw do others deal with countertransference?
- July 1, 2009 at 7:14 PM
- therapydoc said...
By not dealing with you, rather, dealing with her. All that you said about her history is what you would work on, the abandonment, drinking, father-loss, sexuality, anger. Cool stuff like that.
You've got so much to talk about, and same goes with your own kids. (Parents often talk with their kids about their own issues, not their kids' issues, and of course, everyone has them, even kids.

I live in SC and I'm horrified by Sanford's over-sharing, as well as the coverage and the focus. What makes me the maddest is he seems totally oblivious to the pain he is causing his staff, family and constituency - and how irresponsible it was to go AWOL for 5 days. He says he's sorry, then holds an AP press conference? If I were on his communications staff I would quit... he should have kept this quiet until he was out of office and let the people who are paid tax payer dollars handle it. Governor's office staffs have been doing this for decades - that part is nothing new. Call me cynical, but there is too much real work to be done to allow any one person to mess it up. Shut up or resign. BTW - I think his wife is awesome. I'm beginning to think she was the real governor :)
- July 2, 2009 at 7:56 AM
As a North Carolinian, I am growing tired of Gov.Sanford's excessive over-sharing because there is no justification for cheating on his wife. It is very clear through his revelations that Gov. Sanford is also very much in love with his mistress not his wife. He should quit his job, end the marriage, and move to Argentina to be with his mistress.
BTW, If I were Jenny Sanford, I would seriously consider looking into cutting my losses from this overly self-involved man.

gender, sexualities, social movements, emphasis on LGBTQ social movements and queer politics
Contact Information
Email: firstname.lastname@example.com
Phone: (802) 656-2143
My primary areas of specialization are in gender, sexualities, and social movements, with an emphasis on LGBTQ social movements and queer politics. I have conducted research on mainstream and alternative press coverage of the same-sex marriage debate, focusing especially on the place of feminist and queer critiques of the institution of marriage within the debate. I have also conducted ethnographic research with a LGBT marriage equality group, examining the relationship between professionalization and emotions in social movements. In my current research, I continue to examine gender, sexualities, and social movements, while at the same time shifting to a focus on sociological studies of medicine and health. In this work, I examine debates over medical diagnosis and treatment within the transgender rights movement as a way to explore the role of and relationships between medico-psychological discourse and practice and social movement activity in changing conceptions of sex and gender and processes of medicalization and demedicalization. My work appears in Introducing the New Sexuality Studies and Advances in Medical Sociology, Volume 12: Sociology of Diagnosis.
I received my B.A. in Sociology & Anthropology from Western Connecticut State University and my M.A. and Ph.D. in Sociology, as well as a Graduate Certificate in Women's Studies, from the University of Connecticut. Before coming to UVM, I worked as an instructor of Sociology and Women's Studies at the University of Connecticut.
I currently hold the position of Lecturer in the Sociology Department and Women's and Gender Studies Program at UVM, where I teach courses on gender, sexualities, LGBTIQ studies, medicine, and social theory.

Tourism has incredible potential to do positive things not just for us as individuals, but for all people collectively and for the planet. According to the World Tourism Organization, "Tourism is an effective way of redistributing wealth and a catalyst for gender equality, cultural preservation and nature conservation." It is estimated that over 1 billion people travelled internationally in 2012. With so many tourists changing the way they used to travel and choosing instead to put into...

Avoid using disposable batteries while traveling in the Riviera Maya. These are of particular concern in this area because they will degrade in dumps and leak toxic chemicals into the earth that cannot be filtered out by the limestone surface, ultimately poisoning our water supply. A more responsible choice is to pack a charger and use re-chargeable batteries. Discover more about sustainable travel in the Riviera Maya.

Everyone has heard the sustainable battle cry "Buy local!" When traveling, the 'buy local' focus changes. Instead of looking for products from your home country, look to buying and enjoying things from where you're visiting. It is the difference between eating at McDonald's and buying tacos from a street vendor, or choosing to purchase a dress made by a local artisan rather than one sold at Walmart. An important practice of the mindful traveler is to support each destination's local...

"We spent a lot of our time sitting on the second floor porch with our feet propped on the railing just staring at the water. Coming home was hard this year..Staying for two weeks still wasn't long enough."
--Susan, USA
"She & her new Husband had a fantastic hassle free trip. This was their very first time to Mexico and her comment upon return was " Dad, 7 days is NOT enough time ! " Super job, LG."
--Bernie in Denver,
"quick and informative replies from Bart ( thanks Bart) , easy booking procedure plus online management of your booking . I am highly impressed."
--Theressa - Middlesex U.K.,
"And their amazing website is one of the main reasons we started going regularly to the Riviera Maya and especially Akumal. No other place around the Caribbean has nearly as good a web presence as LG has given this area."
--Dan, St. Louis MO,
"and for the past five years we have used Loco Gringo for every reservation, I'm sorry that we did not find them sooner.
I have been searching Loco Gringo for all these years and one thing I have not yet found ........... someone who is not fabulous to work with. Great people, great owners and a great way to run a business."
--K & DB, Outer Banks, NC,
"Not sure if we will be returning next summer, but will definitely let you know if we are, as Loco Gringo is the ONLY way to go for us!"
--Lesley P., Texas
"I would recommend Locogringo to everyone I know. It is such a great service that they provide from researching and booking the perfect place to stay to finding all the needs you could possibly want during your stay. Thanks Locogringo."
"We have been Booking our Riviera Maya vacations from Loco Gringo since 2005. Always Great communication, helpful tips and quick responses to our questions. They were especially helpful when Hurricane Wilma hit and put a stop to our Vacation plans. They made sure we knew about the weather situation and did all the work with re-booking our vacation in Paradise!"
"We usually need reservations for 2 to 4 people but for 2 years we needed reservations for 7 to 9 people, adults and kids and they have always done a flawless job in getting the resort we wanted and at the best price too!!"
"...for your patience with me and making this process go soooo much smoother! I truly appreciate you and the staff at LocoGringo. Thanks again! I can't wait to be sitting on the beach!
Maggie in Colorado"
"I have booked most of my Mayan Riviera trips through Loco Gringo and can only say I wouldn't even consider using anyone else to handle my bookings for stays in that area.
Their booking process is simple, fast and friendly, and they will answer your questions and queries until you are completely satisfied that every single detail has been taken care of.
Who else would know the area better than folks who live and work right there? Try to get that level of expertise and knowledge with a booking agent who lives and works several hundred, or even thousands of miles away.
Not only that, but they are genuinely nice people as well, who really care for their customers and the community and area that they call home
Keep up the great work Loco Gringo!!"
--George, Calgary
"You always recommend amazing accommodations and we are always comfortable and feel safe. Your staff does a fantastic job at making our vacation each year a " hassle free " experience ! All we have to do is " show up " and the rest is already taken care of. We will continue in future to use LocoGringo and also continue as we have done already, to highly recommend your company to anyone we know that is planning a vacation."
--Nancy & Bill, Toronto, Canada
"LocoGringo.com books total trip packages and I recommend LG to all my friends and even to strangers I hear talking about going to Mexico!!"
"What an amazing company Locogringo is. Every silly question I have.... they answer , If something comes up like a travel day change, adding more people, or whatever it might be... you get a response from a real person ... who seems to love what they do . That is hard to find these days and I really appreciate that."
--Brenda, Oregon
"Thanks for everything you have done with Locogringo… the site is great and your staff has been nothing short of incredible when it comes to helping us plan our trips. Maybe we'll run into you on one of your walks some day."
"Go to the home page or check the forum."
--Liz, Portland
"Both in 2011 and this year we have booked our room through Locogringo.com. We searched and found a great rate at the resort we wanted, and then Locogringo met that price, and with their booking came their amazing customer service and the peace of mind that if we need anything while we are there we simply need to call. I always get a fast turnaround on any email I send them, and they work so hard to find us the best rates and the rooms we want. We hope to have a long relationship with them, and recommend their site to everyone we know."
--Tim A and Teri A, Salem, UT
"Loco Gringos is the VERY BEST booking site I have ever worked with. They respond to emails promptly, work hard to honor special requests, answer questions etc. They ALWAYS take great care of their customers and are conscientious and professional at all times. We have booked 8 trips with this company and NEVER hesitate to use them or recommend them when traveling to the Riviera Maya."
"A company made up mostly of American Expats living in the Riviera Maya with a booking list of many hundreds of properties. Big enough to know each property intimately and small enough to know each customer personally. A level of service simply impossible for the giant companies to provide.
--Jim T., Colorado
"It is like having a friend make your reservations for you .... we always feel comfortable knowing LG will be in charge of our arrangements because they know the area first hand, they live there ..... you ask a question and they answer it with good humor and great knowledge of what they speak. I will always recommend Loco Gringo in a heart beat!"
--Nancy, Michigan
"When we use LG to book a trip we get immediate help with all of our questions in a very timely way by people who know what they are talking about and are extremely helpful, patient, knowledgeable, and congenial. They really get how to do customer service.
Once we book through LG we never have to worry about any of it again. We are always amazed at how smooth and trouble free our bookings through LG have been."
--K.B., Fort Worth, TX
"So here is a GREAT BIG TEXAS THANK YOU TO LOCO GRINGO for all the awesome, fantastic vacations in Paradise."
"All our Riviera Maya trips have been booked using LocoGringo. We love their service."
--Debbie, California
"Now is a great time to tell you how wonderful you and your staff are at making it so easy to find and book the best vacations, THANK YOU !"
--Joyce & Hugh,
""I was soooo delighted with the Loco Gringo services. Everything was trouble free and all my questions were always answered promptly. Thanks for a GREAT trouble free vacation!""
"People who "live the area" will want to make sure you enjoy your vacation and come back again!"
"Loco Gringo has an AWESOME website with great info, it is lots of fun to visit, be sure to join their forums. The forums hold more information and trip reports than you can 'shake a stick at'!"
"I just wanted to take a moment to say THANK YOU! The trip we booked through Loco Gringo was perfect! The price was exceptionally good and the service was second to none! If you've never booked with Loco Gringo before, we *highly* recommend them!"
--Derek S.,
"I had contacted you before I left for my first trip to Mexico and all of your recommendations were spot on. I started in Playa Del Carmen and worked my way to Tulum. I had only expected to stay 2 nights there and instead wound up staying for a week-and that still was not nearly enough time. Anyway, I just wanted to say thanks! I will be checking in with you guys as I am tring to plan a trip to Holbox next. That place looks amazing!"
--Louis Skip Gonzalez, Unidos Magazine
"It's a great comfort to visit the Riviera Maya and know that Loco Gringo is there to help, if needed. "
--Bryan in IN,
"I will be bragging about your site to any and all who will listen. Our experience was phenomenal!!!"
--M. Palaschak,

Sanchez finishing with a flourish08/29/2013 7:57 PM ET
By Ashley Marshall / MiLB.com
One of the keys to being a successful pitcher is the ability to bounce back.
Having a short memory and not dwelling on mistakes are just two of the things that should be on any good young hurler's resume, right alongside being able to throw an inside fastball or first-pitch changeup.
Enter top Blue Jays prospect Aaron Sanchez.
Sanchez allowed four hits and a walk while striking out four batters over seven innings in the Class A Advanced Dunedin Blue Jays' 8-0 win over the Clearwater Threshers.
MLB.com's No. 22 prospect entered the game coming off his worst outing of the season after being tagged for six runs over 2 2/3 innings in Brevard County on Saturday. In Thursday's contest, the 21-year-old California native committed three errors, but he bounced back to escape further trouble.
Sanchez made a throwing error to allow the game's first batter, Carlos Alonso, to reach safely. Then there were consecutive miscues in the fourth when he tried to throw out Aaron Altherr at first base and later tried to pick him off second.
The first-rounder did not allow a hit until the fifth. Cameron Perkins led off the frame with a line drive to left field. Harold Martinez followed with a base hit to right field two batters later, but the 6-foot-4 right-hander worked out of the jam.
Sanchez allowed two more hits in the seventh -- a leadoff double to Cameron Perkins was erased on a double play and Martinez singled again -- but he completed his night by inducing a popup off the bat of Jonathan Roof.
The victory helped Sanchez, selected by the Blue Jays 34th overall in the 2010 Draft, improve to 4-5 on the year and lower his ERA to 3.34.
Ajay Meyer worked around a hit in the eighth and Blake McFarland struck out two batters in the ninth to seal the shutout.
Clearwater's Hoby Milner (12-7) yielded three runs on eight hits and a walk while striking out five batter over five innings.

Body of Christ , I am asking for an abundance of prayers for a single mom who lost her only son last night to a drunk driver. As believers of Christ we don't understand why things like this happen and especially on a day like today when she should have been celebrating Mothers Day but instead she is mourning. We just know that God can only comfort her like no one else can and know he is always by our side. Thank you and God Bless.

Kristin Cavallari Looks at Home in Her Bikini During a Malibu Photo Shoot
Kristin Cavallari was back in a two-piece yesterday for a photo shoot in Malibu. The starlet seems to be at home in her swimsuit these days, as there was also a Kristen Cavallari bikini sighting Tuesday at her friend's place. She managed to fit in an evening at the spa before reporting to the set, but Kristin had enough free time between snaps to tend to her Twitter account. Kristin traded tweets with her makeup artist Carlene, who she thanked for making her "look purdy." The tables were turned, too, as Carlene shared an image of Kristin showing her skills with the brushes and eye shadows.

"If it ain't broke, I ain't going to fix it."
That is the attitude of the Canberra International Film Festival's new director, Lex Lindsay, who was announced on Tuesday.
And he doesn't think the festival needs fixing – under previous director Simon Weaving it attracted more than 17,000 people last year who came to more than 60 feature films and documentaries and took part in discussions with festival guests from Australia and overseas.
Lindsay, 34, said he wanted to build on what was already there and establish even more opportunities for patrons to engage with film. He was heading to the Cannes Film Festival on Wednesday to look at what was new in cinema to bring the best of it to Canberra.
Lindsay was looking forward to seeing the new films from Peter Greenaway – one of his favourite filmmakers – and Jean-Luc Godard.
Although he was interested in documentaries and wanted to find the best of these for the festival, he said, "My job is not programming what I like, but what the audience really wants. I've a feeling the audience is up for a little bit more fun."
He had studied audience figures and surveys and thought that while Canberra patrons enjoyed great drama, there was room for some more laughter in the festival.
The third person to hold the position since the festival began 17 years ago, Lindsay has established festivals and curated cinema programs around Australia, such as Byron Bay, Hobart and Alice Springs.
He was the artistic director of Queer Screen and Sydney's Mardi Gras Film Festival and developed both festivals by introducing regional and touring programs, filmmaker development programs, masterclasses and, in 2011, commissioned new short documentary works that won him an Inside Film Award for Australia's Best Film Festival.
In 2012, he headed up the programming for the new Cockatoo Island Film Festival and the annual Dungog Festival of Australian Films.
Linsday is also the chairman of Queen Street Studio, an Australian Business Arts Foundation Initiative that transforms disused properties into arts studios and provides free residency and rehearsal spaces to Sydney's independent arts sector.
Festival president Nicole Mitchell said, "We are thrilled to welcome Lex to Canberra and to CIFF. Securing Lex as artistic director is an absolute coup. His insightful and thoughtful film programming, combined with his inclusive approach to audience development, will definitely delight Canberra's film lovers."
The 2013 Canberra International Film Festival runs from October 30 to November 10.

Halloween is right around the corner. Are you ready?
Charlie Sheen is. He already has his mask ready -- his Charlie Sheen mask. "This really confused the kids," he says.
More: Celeb-inspired Halloween costumes
Another idea: TLC offers costume tips from the Toddlers and Tiaras girls in a special Halloween video - if you can stomach it.
On a much more fun note, check out the viral video of the moment. It's a Riverside, Calif., Halloween House with lights that coordinate to LMFAO's Party Rock Anthem.

DaMarcus Beasley Joins Nothing But Nets to Fight Malaria
Beyond the Pitch: DaMarcus Beasley Joins Nothing But
Nets to Fight Malaria Announces Challenge to Donate 25
Nets for Every USA Win in World Cup
Announces Challenge to Donate 25 Nets for Every USA Win in World CupWashington, D.C. (June 19, 2014) – Today, Nothing But Nets announced its newest champion in the fight against malaria – American soccer player DaMarcus Beasley. Currently playing for the United States men's national soccer team (USMNT) at the 2014 FIFA World Cup in Brazil, the star defender is leveraging his talent and voice to raise awareness for the United Nations Foundation campaign.
Today, Beasley announced his World Cup Challenge, committing to donate 25 insecticide-treated bed nets to families in sub-Saharan Africa for every U.S. win in the World Cup. He'll also donate 10 nets for every tie. He's calling on U.S. soccer fans, like The American Outlaws, to join his challenge by hosting World Cup watch parties and matching his donations to the campaign.
"The World Cup is the biggest global stage to bring awareness to a global killer like malaria," said Beasley. "I'm challenging fans, clubs, and players to join me in sending nets and saving lives."
Beasley and the U.S. men's team will meet opponent Portugal this Sunday, at 6 p.m. ET at Arena Amazônia in Manaus. The USMNT won its first World Cup game against Ghana on Monday in an exciting 2-1 matchup. They will also meet Germany next week in its final game of the opening Group G matches.
Beasley also hopes to get soccer youth at schools and camps across the country involved in the fight against malaria. The Beasley National Soccer School of Fort Wayne, Indiana is one such program.
"We're thrilled to have DaMarcus join us in the fight against malaria," said Chris Helfrich, Director of the Nothing But Nets campaign. "We hope U.S. soccer fans will rally to save lives as they cheer on our World Cup team. It doesn't matter if you're playing in the World Cup or watching from home – anyone can make a difference."
Soccer has been integral to the success of the Nothing But Nets campaign. MLS WORKS has been a campaign partner since 2007 and helped send hundreds of thousands of bed nets to families in need. MLS teams and players all over the country have hosted games, tournaments, and challenges to help Nothing But Nets send nets and save lives.
Nothing But Nets is a global, grassroots campaign to raise awareness and funds to fight malaria, a leading killer of children in sub-Saharan Africa. Together with its UN partners, the Nothing But Nets campaign has delivered more than 7 million bed nets since 2006.
Malaria is a deadly disease, transmitted by a single mosquito bite. Malaria kills more than 600,000 people worldwide every year and claims the life of a child every 60 seconds. But bed nets provide a simple, cost-effective solution and some research has shown they can reduce the spread of malaria by 90 percent in areas with high coverage rates.

Jovani Fashions Takes Action to Protect Brand
A leader in the world of designer dresses, Jovani prides itself on having impeccable quality when it comes to the design, production and distribution of their unique dresses. As a result of their popularity, a market for imitation and counterfeit dresses has unfortunately affected some of their customer base looking to have the Jovani experience. Knowing that there are unauthorized retailers who have found a way to fool customers wanting authentic gowns is disappointing to The company, as well as its affiliates who do provide legitimate pieces. Consequently, the fashion house is taking strides to protect both their customers and the brand.
In order to limit unauthorized retailers from affecting more customers, Jovani is developing an accessible system to verify authorized retailers on their website, along with other anti-counterfeiting initiatives. While it is still in the planning stages, Jovani.com provides an authorized retailer search engine for both U.S. and international customers. Customers can also email consumerprotection(at)Jovani(dot)com to confirm if a retailer is authorized but not listed on the "Where to Buy" section of the website.
Selling to over 3,000 retailers worldwide, the family-owned fashion house has continued to fulfill their goal in creating designer evening dresses that cater to women of all ages. As Jovani increases its visibility on the world stage, they have become a go-to designer for celebrities like Natalie Cole, Miranda Lambert and Carrie Underwood. Unauthorized retailers go to great lengths to benefit from the Jovani name, including taking photos from the official website and altering the image by cutting off the heads of models or even blurring out faces to bypass copyright infringement. These images may be the same, but when customers receive their perceived authentic gown, the quality differences and workmanship are incomparable. The last thing Jovani wants is to have their customers and reputation negatively affected by the illegal activities of others.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Welcome to Just Answer. How old is your little one exactly? Has he been to a veterinarian before? Have they vaccinated him? HOw long has this been going on?
Dr. Bruce
Ok. At this point, it is obvious that something isn't well with your little one's intestinal tract. Given his age, these are the things that I'd be concerned with.
1) Giardia - a protozoal infection that causes vomiting and diarrhea. Here's a link on it.
2) Intestinal foreign body - something stuck in the intestines.
3) Severe parasitism
4) Parvo virus - hopefully less likely since you had him through his puppy vaccines with your vet.
5) Pancreatitis.
Honestly, at this point, I would really recommend getting into your vet for them to run some tests to exactly pinpoint the cause. The metronidazole isn't helping at this point and further therapy is needed. Until you get it - which should be as soon as possible - I'd fast him for 12 hours. No treats, no food, nothing. You can offer a small amount of water after the 12 hours, but don't allow him to drink too much at one time (placing ice cubes in her bowl so that he can't gulp water will help). After having access to the water for 1 hour, I'd offer a bland diet of boiled rice and boiled hamburger (3 parts rice to 1 part burger) in VERY small amounts (perhaps 1/4 c every hour or so) for the next 24 hours. Once you start feeding the rice mixture, monitor for recurring vomiting. If the vomiting doesn't start again, you can begin slowly mix in his regular food over the next few days until you're back to just it.
Again, this may not be enough and that visit will be important to helping him get better.
I'm hoping things turn out well. Please let me know what they diagnose / find. I'll keep this link open. I'm always wanting to know how cases turn out!
