TV's reach helps Walsh stalk terrorists
By Bill Keveney, USA TODAY
A special America's Most Wanted that targeted terrorists,
broadcast at the request of the White House and FBI, yielded hundreds more fugitive
tips than usual. Friday's America's Most Wanted: Terrorists A Special
Edition concentrated on a list of 22 "Most Wanted Terrorists" issued last
week by President Bush. As of Sunday morning, the program's hotline (800-CRIME-TV)
had received 1,300 tips, well above the 200 to 500 calls it receives after a
typical episode.
"We got so many tips. I was watching them pile up (Friday
night). We got stacks and stacks," says John Walsh, who recently hosted AMW
from ground zero, the site of the World Trade Center attack.
One call came from a cabdriver who says he believes he
drove Mohamed Atta, one of the Sept. 11 hijackers, to various Washington, D.C.,
landmarks before the attacks.
"A lot of (tip information) is after the fact of where
guys were. But investigators piece that together and it establishes a trail,"
says Walsh, who referred to terrorists variously as cowards, dogs and psychos
during the program.
When Walsh first heard of the government request for the
AMW special, he thought somebody was kidding. After Fox executives Peter
Chernin and Sandy Grushow agreed to do the show, Walsh and the program's staff
had only two days to try to highlight nearly two dozen targets, including Osama
bin Laden and lesser-known suspects. The U.S. State Department is offering millions
of dollars for information leading to the capture of those on the list.
Despite little promotional opportunity, the special drew
7.6 million viewers, the second-largest audience in its time period. It featured
an interview with Attorney General John Ashcroft.
Although many of the suspected terrorists may not be in
the USA, Walsh says that's not a problem. Viewer tips have led to the capture
of 683 people in 30 countries, including 14 from the FBI's 10 Most Wanted list,
and AMW is broadcast in Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates, Walsh
He acknowledges the possibility for mistaken identities
but says the show, in its 15th season, has seen only about a half-dozen arrests
of innocent people who looked like a fugitive.
Getting information on suspects out to millions of viewers,
including descriptions of their appearances and habits, offers two big benefits,
Walsh says.
"One, we can catch some of them. And two, we can at least
put them on the run," he says. Then "they make mistakes. They panic. It may
disrupt them from their next plan."

Been writing since I was little, but now going to the mainstream side, since I like my work, and need to see what people think... But... I have been deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan, and using that experience with my foray into military science fiction. Currently I have one book off of that, and one based on my flight sim experience.

Rippix is a fork of ripperX, a fast and easy to use CD ripper. While ripperX does a good job of ripping and encoding songs from a CD, it uses a rather outdated user interface. Rippix tries to fill this gap. This includes porting Rippix to GTK+ 3. Additionally, a lot of deprecated code will be rewritten and documentation will be added. The reason for a fork is that after some hacking on the ripperX code, it appeared that more modifications were necessary in order to port to GTK+ 3 conveniently than what could be appreciable by ripperX devs, like removing all the XPM images (including the logo) from the UI.

Date of Defense 2005-01-28 Availability unrestricted AbstractProfessional preparation is important for individuals in any profession, as well as the profession itself. It is one of the hallmarks of any profession. Many sets of standards for the curriculum of student affairs preparation programs have been promoted throughout the years. Most recently the Council for the Advancement of Standards in Higher Education (CAS) published a set of standards that outline areas of competency for student affairs professionals.
The purpose of this study was to measure the degree to which recent graduates of student affairs preparation programs reported learning about the important foundational elements of the profession. I examined learning based on standards for student affairs preparation programs defined by CAS and compared amounts of reported learning from alumni based on the programs' adherence to the CAS standards (compliant v. non-compliant). To that end, I administered a 67 item questionnaire to recent graduates from student affairs preparation programs.
The findings of the present study reveal that a majority of alumni from student affairs preparation programs report having a clear understanding of 57 of 60 identified foundational learning outcomes. Additionally, there was no statistically significant difference between reported learning of alumni from CAS compliant and non-compliant programs based on these foundational learning outcomes on 58 of the 60 items. Data suggest that alumni from CAS compliant programs are more likely to feel confidence in their preparation in 48 of the 60 outcomes presented in the survey. Additionally, the results indicated that alumni from non-compliant programs were more likely to report higher levels of learning based on involvement theory and understanding the level of data a variable in quantitative analysis.

John Olsen : Drawing - The Human Touch
written by Ken McGregor
Macmillan Art Publishing | ISBN 9781921394812
Member's price: $135.00
Usually ships within 2–11 business days.
This richly illustrated publication represents the author's attempt to locate as many of John Olsen's drawings as possible and Macmillan's determination to reproduce them in a book which will serve as a companion to our previous monographs on the artist's prints and paintings. Olsen is an artist who believes drawing to be the fundamental skill of artistic production and whose artworks, whether paintings, prints or drawings, indicate a keen sense of observation of human and animal behaviour translated into lively and sometimes humorous compositions dependent on the drawn line. He is a living legend on the Australian art scene, who claims: "Drawing is important in every stage of an artist's career. Drawing is the plank on which you build the architecture of your work. Drawing is a transferable energy, a life-force, and it entails many ways of observing…" This book will inform and amuse as it reiterates the importance of drawing.
Artist: John Olsen

Crossing The Line
Last week while at a concert in our little town we ran into an old acquaintance, who I did not recognize at first. This was because she had lost a little over half of her body weight since the last time we saw her. It was an amazing transformation – one that she was both proud of, but yet modest regarding the success of the feat.
If you want to lose weight, one of the best techniques, which you might not hear about from the folks who want you to buy low calorie / high margin meals, is to set a weight-loss goal that includes both the number of pounds or kilograms to lose and by what date. It also helps to have a personal motive that corresponds with that goal, such as fitting into a bathing suit prior to a long awaited cruise.
What I have learned over the years about effective strategic planning it that it works the same way. You set up a target to be achieved by a certain date and have it tied very strongly to an important business gain. This is pretty straight forward stuff. Yet, an important lesson I gained early on in my career was from a colleague who observed that a good strategy means you have to choose an end state that is different from your current state. This may seem obvious, but it is a really key concept. It means that a good strategy requires that you declare that where you are today is not good enough – you have to change.
Effective strategic planning demands that you have to work toward a place you are not currently – you have to be dissatisfied with where you are. But, it also requires that you then have to take action to get to the new end point. This of course is where so many people fail at weight loss – I don't believe I can get there so I won't take the steps to get there, and then I'll eventually stop setting the goals and just pretend I am happy with where I am. This again parallels the strategic planning process – you have to choose a strategic end state that requires you make effort to achieve – you have to work to achieve a change.
So, my question is, if you have to change in order to have a good strategic plan, when does the execution of that plan cross over from simple implementation of the plan and into the notion of business transformation. The old acquaintance of ours had truly gone through a transformation – she appeared to us as a different person. Does this mean that business transformation demands that you must become a different company at the end of the process? I am going to cut to the chase on this – I don't have the answer. I don't know when you cross the line from simple execution and into business transformation.
Your question at this point, and I acknowledge that it is a legitimate question; what possible difference does it make? My suspicion is that there are two camps of thinking with regard to the answer. One camp is that simple execution requires a different level of effort than business transformation. The latter requires more focus on the change. This follows the line of thinking that losing 10 pounds requires a different approach than losing 110.
A second school of thought is that everything is business transformation when it comes to effective strategic planning. The logic would be similar to the idea that if you want to lose 10 pounds you have to make some changes, otherwise you are going to gain the 10 pounds back in a few weeks. Likewise, if you are truly building an effective strategic plan, you need to set a target that requires you to change, to achieve something that you are not going to achieve anyway (this is the crux of the folly for many strategic plans).
Bringing this back to CRM, specifically, if you want your CRM program to make a difference, you will need to make some changes. You need to introduce best practices, you need to ask for new behavior, you must expect that technology will be used in new ways (for example, see my recent posting on Social CRM).
Well, I guess then that begs the question, does every good CRM strategy require that you take a business transformation approach and not just a simple execution of planned tactics? I am going to go out on a limb and get radical with a, yes, as the answer. Successful CRM initiatives require real change, not just what will happen if you go with inertia to carry you forward. Do you need to lose half your body weight to be considered successful? Absolutely not. Would a 50% drop in the amount of time that deals hover at stage 3 be considered a big success? Absolutely!
I don't know about you, but all this talk about dieting is making me hungry.

I had this machine when I was a little girl. We lost the Snoopy ice pusher-iner and used a wooden block. Every now and again we got a wood chip in our snow cones... Pure bliss.

Saturday, January 15 2005 - Truth Movement News
Popular Mechanics Attacks Its "9/11 LIES" Straw Man
Gandhi shrewdly observed four stages of movement progress: "First they ignore you, then they laugh at you, then they attack you, then you win." By that reckoning and the expense of this devious assault, we have definitely advanced to stage three!
– Ed.
by Jim Hoffman
Version 1.0, February 7, 2005
The Hearst-owned Popular Mechanics magazine takes aim at the 9/11 Truth Movement with a cover story in its March 2005 edition. Sandwiched between ads and features for monster trucks, Nascar paraphenelia, and off-road racing are twelve dense and brilliantly designed pages purporting to debunk the myths of 9/11.
The article's approach is to identify the 9/11 skeptics movement with a series of mostly physical-evidence issues, while entirely ignoring vast bodies of evidence that only insiders had the means, motive, and opportunity to carry out the attack.
The article gives no hint of the put options on the targeted airlines, warnings received by government and corporate officials, complicit behavior by top officials, obstruction of justice by a much larger group, or obvious frauds in the official story. Instead it attacks a mere 16 claims of its choosing, which it asserts are the "most prevalent" among "conspiracy theorists." The claims are grouped into themes which cover some of the subjects central to the analysis of 9-11 Research. However, for each theme, the article presents specious claims to divert the reader from understanding the issue. For example, the three pages devoted to attacking the Twin Towers' demolition present three red-herring claims and avoid the dozens of points I feature in my presentations, such as the Twin Towers' Demolition.
The article brackets its distortion of the issues highlighted by 9/11 skeptics with smears against the skeptics themselves, whom it dehumanizes and accuses of "disgracing the memories" of the victims.
More important, it misrepresents skeptics' views by implying that the skeptics' community is an undifferentiated "army" that wholly embraces the article's sixteen "poisonous claims," which it asserts are "at the root of virtually every 9/11 alternative scenario." In fact much of the 9/11 truth community has been working to expose many of these claims as disinformation.
"The Lies Are Out There"
Meigs throws a series of insults at the "conspiracy theorists," saying they ignore the facts and engage in "elaborate, shadowy theorizing," and concludes his diatribe by saying: [T]hose who peddle fantasies that this country encouraged, permitted or actually carried out the attacks are libeling the truth -- and disgracing the memories of the thousands who died that day.
Besides trashing the skeptics, and conflating "this country" with its corrupt leaders, Meig's piece attempts to legitimate PM's "investigation." It reads: We assembled a team of reporters and researchers, including professional fact checkers and the editors of PM, and methodically analyzed all 16 conspiracy claims. We interviewed scores of engineers, aviation experts, military officials, eyewitnesses and members of the investigative teams who have held the wreckage of the attacks in their own hands. We pored over photography, maps, blueprints, aviation logs and transcripts. In every single instance, we found that the facts used by the conspiracy theorists to support their fantasies were mistaken, misunderstood, or deliberately falsified.
This sounds impressive, but the article provides no evidence to back up these claims. It provides no footnotes to source its many assertions, and despite the scores of experts listed in its final section, the article cites only a few "experts," who would themselves likely be suspects if normal criminal justice procedures were used to investigate the crime.
Moreover, glaring errors in the article -- such as the assertion that there was only a single interception in the decade before 9/11/01 -- don't inspire confidence in PM's "professional fact checkers." It echoes the discredited assertions of official reports such as the FEMA WTC Building Performance Study and the 9/11 Commission Report, and provides no evidence that it is anything but a well-orchestrated hit piece to perpetuate the 9/11 cover-up.

Gay and lesbian couples will be able to wed in the ACT after a bill to legalise same-sex marriage passed the territory's Legislative Assembly.
People in the public gallery clapped and sang Love Is In The Air when the bill passed shortly before midday on Tuesday.
The first marriages are likely to take place from December.
But the federal government has flagged a challenge to the laws in the High Court.
Federal Attorney-General George Brandis says his government has legal advice that the ACT's legislation is invalid because it is inconsistent with the provisions of the Commonwealth Marriage Act.
"Irrespective of anyone's views on the desirability or otherwise of same-sex marriage, it is clearly in Australia's interests that there be nationally consistent marriage laws," a spokesman for Senator Brandis said in a statement to AAP on Tuesday.
Senator Brandis has asked the ACT government not to put the new laws into effect until the court can determine their validity, but Chief Minister Katy Gallagher has vowed to press ahead.
"I don't believe this bill in any way challenges, diminishes or undermines the religion or faith of any individual," she said during assembly debate on the bill.
"If we are to be judged by a higher being on this law, then let it be so."
Ms Gallagher's openly gay deputy Andrew Barr broke down in tears during debate on the bill.
"The sacrifice, the suffering, the struggle and the tireless exertions and passionate concern of gay and lesbian Canberrans, their parents and their families finds a voice and finds a champion in this Assembly," said Mr Barr, who is in a civil union with partner Anthony Toms.
More than 200 people were present to watch the debate, with the public gallery packed and people who couldn't squeeze in watching the debate broadcast in another room.
Opposition leader Jeremy Hanson told the assembly legalising same-sex marriage was not a responsible course of action.
"We do not see the ACT Assembly as a vehicle to drive national agendas on social agendas," he said.
Greens MLA Shane Rattenbury, who has the deciding vote in the 17-member assembly, said it was a landmark moment for the ACT.
Federal Labor MP for the Canberra electorate of Fraser, Andrew Leigh, congratulated the ACT on the bill and said the Abbott government's challenge plan was "mean-spirited".
"What the ACT has done is simply allow two people who love each other to have that love recognised by way of marriage," Dr Leigh said in a statement.
"It isn't going to weaken heterosexual marriages like mine. This is going to make us stronger as a society."

BAVARIA and Touring badges, early '70s
Does anyone reproduce the trunk lid "bavaria" badge that the e3s (2800, 3.0, 3.0i, 3.0iA) wore for the North American market? The hatch on my e61 Sports Wagon was painted just before I bought it and apparently the dealer neglected to replace the 530xi emblem. Oddly, there are no X-drive badges on the front fenders, either, and these weren't repainted. Who knows, maybe the original owner took them all off, preferring a cleaner look.
It would be fun to install a bavaria badge on the hatch instead, or maybe the "touring" script from a '71 or '72 2002 hatchback. Are there any repros out there? I'm afraid that original chromed pot metal mouldings would probably be pitted and might be too costly anyway, in the case of the rare touring.
Fear not, I won't be drilling any holes in my lovely car to attach old style emblems. I'm sure body shop suppliers have dependable glues or double-sided adhesive tapes that could stick them on, after I grind off the mounting pins.

THERE is a treasure trove sitting in the middle of Swindon – something so unique and irreplaceable that you could say it makes the Crown Jewels look like small change.
You can go and see it if you like. Pop along during opening hours and you're in. No charge or anything. Just like going to the library.
Where better to house such a singular cache of riches than a building many would consider the very heart of Swindon – the refurbished Victorian offices where Sir Daniel Gooch and other giants of the steam railway age designed some of the world's most innovative locos (Kings, Castles, Cities…) This year marks the 20th anniversary of the opening of English Heritage's National Monuments Record Centre (NMRC) at Churchward.
It houses nothing less than a complete record of England's architectural heritage – an immense and unrivalled archive that includes photos of pretty much every hamlet, village and town in the country along with images of millions of listed, threatened or forgotten buildings?
With its stylish arched doorways and bay windows, the coursed rubble Grade II listed building dates to the 1840s and was once the nerve centre of the Great Western Railway.
Now known as The Engine House, it is home to spacious "search rooms" where people can browse through an encyclopedic library of material amassed by countless archivists, photographers, historians and antiquarians.
The stuff readily available for instant examination is contained in hundreds of red file boxes labelled with the names of towns and villages.
Choose the one you grew up in (Highworth, Stratton St Margaret, Wanborough, Wroughton) and peruse at leisure pictures of old buildings that will invariably trigger sepia tinted memories from way back.
Many of its 12 million photographs, drawings, reports and publications on England's archaeology, historic buildings and social history are kept in a newer wing.
Attached to what was formerly the Chief Mechanical Engineer's Office is a nondescript extension with the appearance of a modern warehouse.
In actual fact it is a hi-tech marvel – one of Europe's finest archive facilities, no less.
More like a laboratory than a library, the temperature is meticulously maintained to preserve sensitive material including images dating to the dawn of photography.
The £5 million complex exudes the sterile atmosphere of an operating theatre.
Mike Evans, head of archives says: "We can't stop the decaying process, but we can slow it down.
"Our coldest vaults are now at six degrees Centigrade. It is difficult to say exactly what this means for the life of the photographs we hold.
"Certainly it means that some photos which would have decayed and been lost will now be available to our descendants 100 years from now."
Such items have to undergo a re-acclimatisation process before they can see the light of day – a bit like a diver emerging from the deep. So if you want NMRC to fish out some yellowing photos or ancient architectural plans or drawings then you have to give them a few days' notice.
There was a rumpus back in the early Nineties when a body called the Royal Commission on the Historical Monuments of England sought permission to convert the derelict GWR offices into a national records centre.
The aim was to bring together millions of precious documents and photos under one roof.
But the plan was fiercely opposed by another respected heritage body, the Ancient Monuments' Society.
The proposed four-storey archive would constitute a "grim and joyless" extension, they huffed, as well as look "extraordinarily severe, forbidding and functional." Like a couple of ageing boxing pros the two historical societies slugged it out for a while before a compromise was reached with a third re-design.
A sound that was once familiar to countless Swindonians shrieked from the old railworks site in July, 1994 when the NMRC was officially opened.
Former railway coach builder Jack Telling, 74, of Purton, did the honours when he grinningly sounded the GWR hooter to mark the occasion.
Rare photographs from the annals of archaeology can be found there: check out the 1908 images of workmen in their caps and overalls reconstructing the 3,600 year-old stones at Avebury (14 times larger and 500 years older than Stonehenge) under instruction from the site's owner, marmalade millionaire Alexander Keiller.
Over the years the national collection in Swindon – now known as the English Heritage Archive – has grown and grown as a result numerous initiatives.
Much of it – such as 20,000 photos of England's industrial heritage (mills, mines etc.) – can be accessed online.
Among its most important items, says Mike are photos and plans of the nation's most iconic structures from Stonehenge to nuclear bunkers.
Other photographic treasures include a comprehensive coverage of virtually every acre of England from the air snapped by the RAF after World War Two.
"This was a nationally important survey showing England before all the changes of the second half of the 20th Century."
Currently they are undertaking the 'Britain from Above' project – digitising 95,000 images of early aerial photography from 1919.
Among the many magnificent and once private collections held there are 24,000 large glass negatives – the unique Bedford Lemere archive (1880s to 1940.) Says Mike: "They were the first firm of professional architectural photographers in England. Their photos are a unique picture of Victorian and Edwardian architecture and design."
- TO bond with the community upon whose doorstep it had arrived, English Heritage in 2002 embarked on a project to capture the stories, photographs and memories of Rodbourne.
Local people were inspired to come forward with old snaps, school log books, maps, clippings from the Adver and assorted ephemera.
Their memories of growing up in the once sleepy backwater that takes its named from a reedy brook were also recorded by English Heritage archivists.
The photos, alone, are invaluable: a 1902 image shows an army of uniformed sewing machinists working at the Bedford Lemere Clothing Company; meanwhile sisters Doreen and Margaret Hewer are frozen in time playing in the backyard of their Redcliffe Street home, 1938.
A permanent and ongoing Living History archive to be enjoyed and studied for generations to come...
- FROM pig sties to pigeon lofts, lamp posts to lavatories, toll booths to telephone booths… and even the penguin pool at London Zoo.
Fourteen years ago one of the largest and most ambitious projects of its kind was launched in Swindon.
The aim was to capture on film the vast majority of England's 370,000 listed buildings as a 'moment in time' record at the turn of the Millennium.
The £3 million Images of England initiative saw nearly 1,000 volunteer photographers despatched to snap our rich, wide-ranging and idiosyncratic architectural heritage.
Instructed to record a single, defining image of each structure they were issued with maps, rolls of film and identification cards along with a few basic rules ("Look, don't go tramping into people's gardens without permission – and for God's sake don't do anything risky or daft…")
Their efforts took them through bogs, over stiles, onto walls and into nettle-infested foliage.
The fruits of their labours can today be viewed at a free on-line library at: on http://www.imagesofengland.org.uk/
Images of England officer Alexander Saxon said: "Some of the images are amazing. We look at them and think 'wow – that's great'."
- Last year staff at the English Heritage Archives dealt with over 7,500 enquiries and received 1,500 visitors to its public search room.
The facility is open Tuesday-Friday 9.30am-5pm. As most of the archive is kept in environmentally-controlled conditions visitors are urged to call first. However people are advised to use its website which in 2013 received 850,000 visits.

Yes, we choose Spain (and very glad we did). Coruna is a very nice and quiet city. It's good that we can get familiar with the language, the people, and having the team overseas.
We would have chosen UK (for the business, not the weather), but the brits restrictions are for everybody in Romania.
So find me running on the coast each day from 6AM, near Melia Maria Pita!
@doru Italy is nice also (been there and loved it), but not for us. My fiance had to be close to Artexio, Spain. (Zara Eastern Europe Manager)

During much of my childhood, it seemed that the evening network news on television was 30 minutes of coverage of the Vietnam War. Actually several other subjects, commercials, etc., were included in those 30 minute broadcasts. But, my memory is of coverage of the Vietnam War, followed by Walter Cronkite stating "and that's the way it is." I trusted that he was telling it as it was, and I got the impression he didn't like it any better than I did.
Walter Cronkite passed away, yesterday, July 17, 2009. And, I will miss him, as I think much of the world will. He became the anchorperson of CBS's evening newscast in 1962 (when I was four years old), and his retirement came in 1981 (while I was a college student), according to numerous news stories about his life and death, including the ones
linked to here, and
here, as well
as here, and
also here.
As a child growing up, there were certainly days I did not watch the evening news with dad, and there were days dad watched it on another network, typically NBC. By the way, at least sometimes Cronkite seemed to make his closing remarks on the CBS newscast as few seconds earlier than NBC. As a child I thought the best part of the news was after Walter Cronkite said "And that's the way it is" when mom came in to change the channel to watch a particular game show, and I heard NBC's co-anchors David Brinkley and Chet Huntley say good night to each other. I thought at times that it would be nice to watch their news since it might be good news like their good night comments at the end. But, on the evenings dad watched their broadcast I think their Vietnam War coverage was similar. Television and newspaper coverage of the Vietnam War may be one reason I am a basically a pacifist now.
I actually got the opportunity to very briefly meet Walter Cronkite once in June of either 1998 or 1999 on a trip to New York City. As I was walking along a sidewalk in Manhattan one evening, a car (possibly a taxi, I'm not sure now) suddenly pulled up to the curb in front of a hotel, then a lady quickly got out and ran inside the hotel. Surprised by the sudden appearance of the car and the lady's quick movement, I stopped walking and looked at the vehicle. As I was doing so, a man got out of the other side of the car and came around toward the hotel. As he did I looked closely at him and realized it was Walter Cronkite. Very surprised and somewhat in shock, I smiled and said "Good evening Mr. Cronkite." As he walked toward the hotel I think he replied "good evening." However, I was so in awe of the fact that I had seen and spoken to a man who to me was almost a living legend that I don't remember for sure. Seeing him was a highlight of my trip.
Obviously, Walter Cronkite's evening newscasts only covered certain news and certain views, as all news does. But, Walter Cronkite seemed like a friendly, trustworthy, grandfatherly sort of person as he broadcast the news. And as I recall he seemed to especially enjoy covering the Apollo space flights. Part of my joy in watching the Apollo mission telecasts was seeing the childlike enthusiasm of Cronkite. And yes, I even fondly remember seeing educational films in school narrated by him – I don't remember the content of them now, just that the news celebrity Cronkite narrated them.
Walter Cronkite was a liberal on many issues according to news reports in recent years, based on his public comments and actions after retiring as a news anchor, apparently supporting legalized abortion for example. But, when he was the CBS news anchor, he seemed to me to just be Walter Cronkite.
I would like to quote a comment he made during a speech he gave (that was reprinted in a journal) at a convention and another statement he made in an article for a magazine, but both predate the computer search engine era, so I could not find either of them in a quick online search. Maybe at some point I will add them or write another article.
Walter Cronkite has passed on. To quote his words: "And that's the way it is."

ELDERLY people living at a housing complex in Hereford fear they could be confined to their homes after losing their regular bus service.
The 905 bus ferries residents from Great Western Court across the city centre, and stops at the County Hospital and near the railway station.
But the service is due to be withdrawn from August 31.
"Words cannot express the disappointment I felt on learning that yet another public service is to disappear," said resident Marion Jones.
"The effect on this cancellation on the elderly will be devastating.
"If they are to retain a degree of normality and dignity they will be forced into using taxis, a luxury they can ill-afford.
"The alternative would be to confine themselves to their homes, thereby placing an even greater strain on the NHS."
Fellow resident Joy Goff said a petition has started to save the service and a meeting is due to be held at Great Western Court on Monday.
In total, more than 60 bus services in the county will be reduced, including many evening and Sunday services.
Herefordshire Council says that the changes are part of its aim to save £33million by 2017.
However, Scott Morris fears that he will not be able to get back to his Weobley home after finishing work in Hereford because there will be no evening services.
"I believed the council was trying to get more people on public transport, to help reduce our carbon footprint and free up much needed parking spaces, but this outcome will prove detrimental to both," said Mr Morris.
The Rail for Herefordshire group has been actively campaigning for better transport in the county, including protecting bus services.
Spokesman John Thorne said planned cuts will have a big impact.
"There will be very few buses or no buses at all on Sundays and at evenings," said Mr Thorne.
"Herefordshire is a very rural county and people will not be able to come into the city, which will be very unfortunate."
Cllr Paul Rone, cabinet member for roads and transport, said the council has been working closely with bus operators to explore savings.
"We have taken opportunities to integrate some contracts and ensure more efficient use of vehicles and drivers," he said.

Let's be clear on Public Relations. Rocket science it ain't. It's a communication process – you are sitting on newsworthy stories and you need a translator (/facilitator) to help identify, write up and sell them into the publications in which you want to be seen.
It should be a straightforward process, when it gets too complicated your message can become lost and objectives obscured. It sits alongside your other marketing activity and, yes, needs to dovetail with it. It also needs to go hand in hand with your SEO work.

How did the Romans grow grapes in northern England? Perhaps because it was warmer than we thought.
A study suggests the Britain of 2,000 years ago experienced a lengthy period of hotter summers than today.
German researchers used data from tree rings – a key indicator of past climate – to claim the world has been on a 'long-term cooling trend' for two millennia until the global warming of the twentieth century.
This cooling was punctuated by a couple of warm spells. These are the Medieval Warm Period, which is well known, but also a period during the toga-wearing Roman times when temperatures were apparently 1 deg C warmer than now. [Read more…]

Aug 3, 2012 - By Christina George, Staff WriterThe Fremont County Coroner's office has identified the man who died in the mountains near Dubois on Wednesday evening as Alec McCrackin.
County Coroner Ed McAuslan said an autopsy was scheduled for 11 a.m. on Friday in Loveland, Colo., to determine what caused the 65-year-old's death.
He said the victim owned a residence in Dubois, but his primary residency was in Atlanta, Ga.
McCrackin was hiking in the Lake Louise area in the Wind River Mountain Range south of Dubois on Aug. 1 when witnesses reported he started suffering symptoms of a heart attack.
The Fremont County Sheriff's Office received a call shortly before 5 p.m. from a woman reporting a man in her hiking party was having chest pains.
Both aerial and ground search-and-rescue efforts were launched, but by the time crews reached the area at 7 p.m., they found McCrackin had died.

Best Of :: Food & Drink
Miami's food critics have long neglected this healthful gem. You'd barely notice it, tucked in the rear of a cluttered health food store. Load up on soups, Jamaican patties, and pies prepared fresh by Carlos Schichi, the delightful Japanese-Brazilian chef. The wild-haired Schichi was on track to become a classical musician in Brazil but got struck by the good-food bug. While studying music in Austria, he cooked up a storm in his dormitory. In 1993, he rented the lunch counter, where he's developed a loyal following.
He rotates about 500 dishes, including a fresh special (typically about $5) that arrives every day around 12:45. So order a $3 glass of carrot juice and ask him what's cookin'. Have a cookie while you're at it. And a slice of carrot cake. What the hell? It's all-natural baby. You'll eat like a pig without feeling weighted down or groggy. A three-course meal might run you $10. But when was the last time you ate something that didn't contain roast pork?
Remember that trip to Buenos Aires? There was supposed to be tango dancing until dawn and a smoky-eyed lover. Instead you tripped over your own feet and got fat eating alfajores. Now that you're back in Miami, the porteños are gone, but there are still alfajores. Buenos Aires Bakery offers three kinds of the cookie and dulce de leche sandwich at $2 a pop: dark chocolate, white chocolate, and maizena. The cookies are moist and the Argentine caramel perfectly gooey. Take a bite, make peace with your chubbiness, and daydream about the Paris of South America.
Argentine steaks are revered not because of how they're cooked, but because the meat is incredible. The cattle roam the fertile pastures of the pampas and are never forced to exert themselves (because exercise makes the meat tougher). They are carted around the country in train cars. This special treatment produces beef that melts when it hits your tongue and is unrivaled in tenderness and flavor.
But until just last year, the USDA — out of protectionism and semi-legitimate fears of hoof and mouth disease — banned the import of Argentine beef. Now that it can again be imported, you don't want to go to some fancy Argentine steak house and have them jack up the price on you just for cooking the meat. That's where Estancia Argentina comes in. It's a Miami-based chain owned by Buenos Aires transplants, with locations in Aventura, Coral Gables, Kendall, and Miramar. It's half restaurant, half market, and all good. The empanadas ($1.55) and sandwiches ($8) are delicious, made fresh with quality ingredients. The walls are lined with bottles of wine, so you can buy a Malbec and drink it with your meal. The meat counter is to drool over, with all sorts of Argentine beef cuts, cheeses, chorizos, and chimichurris. They also have great desserts ($1 to $5). The place is always packed with Spanish speakers enjoying a cup of vino or guarana soda with meaty skirt steak or prosciutto and mozzarella sandwiches. Join them.
There's no Brie, quail eggs, or diced jalapeños baked into the dough of the bagels at this Kendall joint. Nor is there any caviar-infused shmear or exotic fruit toppings shipped from some remote village in the heart of the Amazon. That's because The Bagel Express, a non-descript delicatessen squeezed into a small, suburban strip mall, simply makes great bagels. There's greatness in the first bite. And the second. And the thirtieth.
Made from scratch and baked fresh daily, the bagels here are classics — pumpernickel, sesame, egg, poppy seed, garlic, salt, cinnamon, plain, and everything. The price: $6.60 for six and $11.95 for a baker's dozen. For the carb-conscious, there's also whole wheat and eight-grain available with your choice of regular or low-fat cream cheese (plain, chive, vegetable, strawberry, and honey walnut) for $2.75 a pop. Speaking of pop, The Bagel Express has Dr. Brown sodas (diet and regular). Then there's fresh, hand-sliced Nova lox for $7.99 per quarter pound and delicious, buttery rugelach for $10.95 a platter.
Still not convinced? Oy vey! Then swing on in after the morning rush and try a Boar's Head deli sandwich served in a large woven basket with your choice of bagel, for $7.95. While you're there — now don't get all verklempt — ponder this: Although a bagel topped with Alba white truffle cream cheese and goji berry-infused Riesling jelly sounds superb, it'll run you $1,000 at the Westin Hotel in Times Square. But these tasty bites in Kendall will cost you a mere $1.25 each. Enjoy!
If great bread is the staff of life, all of us here in South Florida are living on borrowed time, eating mushy, pallid, tasteless loaves made from ultrarefined flour that no self-respecting Parisian or Italian would use for a doorstop. But thankfully, for those special occasions, we have La Provence, where you can get a proper baguette ($2) or crusty loaf of sourdough ($2.25) or hunk of multigrain ($4.35). But man (and woman) doesn't live by bread alone, so if you're hungry for a light, flaky croissant; luscious Danish, fruit tart, or cheesecake; even savory quiches or empanadas, La Provence has you covered there too. Just no doorstops.
For more than nine years, Aziza Yuself has made Varanda's a place where Brazilians can savor authentic cuisine. That's why the low-key eatery draws so many of the Brazilian expatriates residing in North Beach, who can watch Brazilian television and have long conversations in Portuguese while dining on exceptionally good food, especially the muqueca de peixe, fish perfectly simmered in a coconut sauce ($14.95). Meat lovers will enjoy the picadinho ao mohlo, beef strips in a delicious hot sauce, for $10.95, or the frango ao mohlo curry, curry chicken in coconut sauce for $13.95. For many folks, Varanda's is a home away from home, but even if you're not from São Paulo, you can drop by too.

Right ... but if bugs were sent to netdev or whatever, you'd get something similar to what you have today, as long as *you* don't go looking in bugme (which you've made it clear you won't). Other people seem to find this useful, and they can still go use it if they like. So presumably that'd work out OK? M.

I am a licensed psychologist who uses an eclectic approach to treating those individuals I am working with. I believe that each and every person is unique and I do not use a "one size fits all" approach. After meeting with an individual and identifying their needs, I work collaboratively with that person to establish a treatment plan to successfully meet the needs and overall goals of treatment.

As a clinical psychologist my approach to working with patients is to conduct a detailed assessment of your presenting issues and background so that I can develop a comprehensive understanding of your personality. This will guide the treatment and help to formulate the types of practical interventions that will be most helpful to assist you with effectively managing your struggles and foster your development. Therefore your treatment will not be a "one size fits all" approach, but will be individually tailored to your specific needs.

Brienne of Tarth
EditBrienne of Tarth
Brienne of Tarth, also known as the Maid of Tarth and Brienne the Beautiful (mockingly), is a skilled female warrior. She lacks the qualities that are more traditionally sought after in the women of Westeros, but she is as honorable or more so than any Knight in the Seven Kingdoms.
Brienne has been regarded as ugly by her contemporaries due to her large size and unnatracive facial features. Her only redeeming quality is said to be her eyes which are very large and a deep blue colour.
She is the sole surviving child of Lord Selwyn Tarth the Evenstar, and is the heir presumptive to Evenfall Hall. Her father has attempted to wed her to several important houses throughout the Stormlands, but to no avail. Currently she travels as part of Renly Baratheon's Rainbow Guard, his name for Kingsguard, after winning a melee at Bitterbridge. Also, from Renly Baratheon, she was given her title of Brienne the Blue.
In the TV series, Brienne is played by Gwendoline Christie.

The 2014 Winter Olympic Games in Sochi, Russia, are now a memory, but the International Olympic Committee took one final look at highlights and statistics on Facebook and other social networks at the Games.
Some of the IOC's findings were:
- There were more than 2 billion impressions across Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, and vKontakte.
- There were more than 90,000 updates by individual athletes and teams.
- Team USA was the most active, with 22,598 posts across Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram during the Games, followed by Canada with 15,716, and the U.K. with 9,867.
- Facebook was the top social network in terms of mentions during the Games, at 120 million, followed by vKontakte at 54 million, and Twitter at 40 million.
- The Olympic Games Facebook page added more than 2 million new likes.
- The most commonly used hashtag was #sochi2014.
- The busiest days were Feb. 7, when the opening ceremony was held, and Feb. 8, when the figure-skating team competition and women's freestyle skiing moguls were contested.
IOC Director of Communications Mark Adams said in a release announcing the results:
Russia has had its first social media Olympics, and for the IOC, it is important to engage and connect with the home team. The Games have come to an end, but the social legacy lives on, as we want to keep connecting with our millions of new fans, telling them about the Youth Olympic Games and, of course, Rio 2016 — the host city of the next Summer Olympics.
Readers: Did you interact on Facebook or other social networks during the Winter Olympics?

When LB goes small in the backcourt with Felton and Augustin, it would be nice for Ivey to get an extended run for his ability to stop penetration instead of Willie or even Lou, as they don't seem to stay in front of their man on drives very well. Redd consistently took Willie to the hole the other night.
Without considering offense for either one, is it crazy to think about starting Ivey instead of Willie considering Ivey's penchant for 'D' on opposing 2 guards?
Starters don't really matter all that much to me, it's really who is getting quality minutes throughout the whole course of the game, which is evident by Sam and Willie's reduced minutes the last couple of games.
I'd be in favor of just about anyone starting over Willie. It's probably no less embarrassing to have Ivey as your starting 2 guard than Willie.
Don't miss him, never will miss him, and am glad to see his career spiral into nothingness - couldnn't happen to a nicer megalomaniac.
Eh. I don't think there's another coach alive who could've taken that team to the finals. He's also one of the few coaches in the league who gets teams to perform above their abilities, which is something very different from taking a talented team and making it work.
He got himself fired in Detroit and he did what he wanteed in NY (yeah it was a mess) and he has to be in control and has some sort of ADHD when it comes to his players...he's a megalomaniac and the game has passed him by and he's going to fall flat in charlotte - and that doesn't even include the shoddy job of coaching and responsibility he did in the olympics...oh yeah, he deserted the sixers like a rat off a sinking ship after he realized all those long term deals he had billy king hand out were going to bite him in the ass - he built the roster - over paid role players and then ran like a rat...which is why i call him the rat.
As for tongihts game - matt carroll and sean singletary are starting according to Yahoo - are felton and augustin hurt or is brown just personality q this week?
Looks like it was a coach's decision.
Nice to see the mroe things change the more he stays schizophrenic.
He took this job cause it was probably the one franchise left that would give him carte blanche to do whatever the hell he wanted with out any accountability for stupid trades
4 minutes, no fouls on sammy yet.
Apparently, Larry likes to start guys when they play in their hometown.
Well that's just silly
Usual starting lineup. Over/under for minutes until Sam picks up his second foul is 7. I'm taking the under.
And here we go...
There's an Iggy turnover on a pass that was dropped by sammy.
I thought it was a tough pass. And maybe I'm jumping the gun but it looks to me like Charlotte got the best player in the Richardson deal. Who ever would've thought, though, that Diaw would thrive under Brown?
Check out his shooting numbers since he got there. Do you remember him the year after they traded Joe Johnson for him? He was awesome.
You're in Charlotte, right? Getting this one on regular TV?
Back in Philly. And yeah, he had that one great year but hadn't done much since.
Brown has an eye for guys, even if he doesn't realize it. Raja Bell, Bruce Bowen, Matt Barnes...all guys Brown picked off the scrap heap. Of course, they all got away and thrived elsewhere, but still.
27-24 Cats after one. Way too much scoring, which I think plays in the Sixers favor. They're 3/5 from three, which obviously does not.
Let's not forget - yet again - more piss poor rebounding on the defensive end - you got to pull sam for theo early - fouls or not
Early minutes for Royal.
Lou is abusing Augustin.
Lou has that look in his eye tonight.
espn added +/- to their box scores, finally. that's good news.
The offensive boards are killing us.
Yup, not sure who's to blame. Sammy's actually having a good game on the defensive glass and blocking shots.
This has been a recurring problem in the past 2 wins - bad offensive boarding
Under-sized four may be the problem. Or just a ton of long rebounds. I don't expect it to continue once Brand gets back, though.
Another drop by Dalembert. He did have a really nice catch and finish on a bullet pass from Lou earlier, though.
By the way, if Speights is in there instead of Sammy, that's a monster dunk.
Nice finish to that quarter. If they chill with the silly turnovers, they should be OK. Majority of them were just silly mishaps. Gonna be a barnburner.
Iguodala's form actually looks like it's improved. And Orlando's up 71-33.
I really think it's confidence thing with him.
Holy crap, that game is 86-39 now with a 6 and a half minutes left in the third.
There are combos that I like to see out there. Lou + Speights is sweet. I also like it when Ratliff and Ivey are on the court at the same time, makes it a lot harder on the other team to score.
Iguodala and Thad are really working well together now too.
This is so important. I want to see them work this well together even when Brand comes back. We have our best chance with both of them on the court at the same time.
Interesting question, will Iggy move back to the 2 when Brand returns?
Wasn't Andre Iguodala starting at the three with Young coming off the bench as a 'recent change' before Brand went down with injury? I expect them to return to that
I believe they did make that change. Not sure how I feel about it at this point.
It was a very small sample size but if i recall correctly, Andre Iguodala played much better those few games at the three then at the two but maybe that was just coincidental with an overall turn around. I'd like to see DiLeo experiment with it and see what works best.
He'll probably have to find a way to make it work, since that's the most convenient way of keeping them both on the floor at the same time. I want Thad in there with Brand because to me he's the best at getting into good positions for easy baskets when Brand draws attention. And I sure as hell don't want to see us playing Brand at center.
This is what I like to see. Just all out running on everything. Charlotte doesn't have the athletes to run like this.
Young is balling to start the 3rd.
Great energy and follow-up to the last 2 minutes of the 2nd.
Thad looking frisky.
Who are you and what have you done with Andre Miller?
Another three? Set shot from the corner to end the quarter.
Big 3rd, outscored them 31-20. A strong start to the fourth and Charlotte turtles up.
I was amazed when Andre Miller played as well as he did last season.
But these past six or seven games he's taken it to a whole new level. Sometimes he's a man possessed out there.
*Must not let him go for nothing.
Lou and Speights is a good combo, but is it me or do we generally languish with him at point? Someone should do plus-minus specific to what position a guy's playing.
I can put that together for Lou, at least through Jan. 3. I'll look it up for the post game.
How many times is this douche going to call him Maurice Evans? He just called him Reggie and corrected himself to say Maurice. Idiot.
Mareese Speights is just a very good offensive big man.
Oh, and Atlanta's going to be very angry when we play them. A moment ago they were down by 50. They've cut the lead to 46...
It's been a rough start to the fourth quarter. They've got to pick it up and remember what helped them dominate the third.
Sp8s and Thad hitting the o-boards. Turned the quarter right there.
Is anyone else unnerved by Speights's passing resemblance to a young Mike Tyson? I just don't know how long this sort of effort on his part will last.
You have to reward him for this type of effort, just like you punish him when he's lazy. He should be the first big off the bench next game and get heavy minutes.
The Sixers are now winning the rebounds, offensive and defensive.
"Winning" I suppose is relative. I find grabbing less than 75% of the defensive rebounds available in a game a disconcerting poor effort. It's a trend I find troubling, and maybe Mareese Speights is partially responsible because he's still learning the defense, but anyone who is having 'doubts' about him already, give the kid some time before questioning his effort.
They're at 74.5% right now.
Not sure how you do it (I ignore team rebounds) but right now the bobcats have 13 offensive rebounds and the sixers have 23 defensive rebounds - that's 13 of 36 - that isn't even 2/3 - let alone 74.5%
You're right. I used total rebounds instead of defensive rebounds for the Sixers.
Thought it might have been that. It's disconcerting (and lost) in the past few games (all wins) how bad they've been on the glass. I hope you're right and it's just Elton Brand - they were one of the better defensive rebounding teams earlier in the season
They did still win this game, though. On both ends of the floor.
Offensive glass they won 38.5% to 36.1%
Defensive glass they won 63.9% to 61.5%
Not a huge win, but it was a huge comeback. I think they were down 10 to 5 in offensive boards in the first half.
4 to 5 of those offensive boards were off of long rebounds from threes, that's going to happen. Not exactly as it looked.
To clarify, I was referring to the offensive boards by the Bobcats.
How can a team set up to rebound miss 3 shots. It seems that the rebound always goes long and finds the other team.
Continue to drown in your never ending pessimism while the Sixers keep 'winning'.
Thank you for the permission, I suppose you can continue to revel as the sixers beat the teams they are supposed to beat but still can't improve on the things that will get them beat against the real teams.
They've actually dramatically improved their eFG, which is really the only area they've struggled in throughout the season. And they've improved against not only the teams they "should" beat, but against very good teams as well. Check in the morning for a post on their performance lately.
They're shooting right around 50% and absolutely no one on the team has had their jumper going. It's all been going to the hole.
Alright, 3 in a row.
Good one for Joe to watch.
Win #3.
I like DiLeo's run so far, nice to see the team get back to fundamentals and know that the coach has some idea what is going on and what he can do to alter the course of the game.
It reaffirms my belief that when this team is fully healthy we will win more games than we lose as long as we play good fundamental basketball. We can go 60-65% the rest of the way, that should be good for 5-6 seed. If Brand can stay healthy we can start learning to play off him and it will put us in good stead for next season.
The sixers are 7-6 in the Tony Dileo era. I'm not sure where this 60-65% comes from. There's no telling what happens when Brand comes back.
As for the 'fundamental' basketball...well they're not rebounding very well recently, and have had some real poor free throw shooting games...they beat an undermanned rockets team, a bad bucks team and a bad bobcats team, I don't think you can project 60-65% ball out of these 3 games unless of course the rest of the schedule is again similarly bad teams.
That's one way to look at it. You could also look at it as they played good basketball and were in every game on that west coast swing even without Brand. Then nearly knocked off the Spurs to end the trip. They came home and faced a Rockets team without Artest and Battier, of course they didn't have Brand, and won. The next night they went to Milwaukee (who was not playing a back-to-back, and had a 10-5 record at home) and won. Then they came back home and took care of business on their home court.
I guess it just depends on your perspective.
I concur. I could predict, I don't know, .500 to .540 ball.
So 38-40 wins?
I think that actually would come out to 39-41 wins.

'X-Men' Mystique Showdown: Who Looks Better Blue?
By JACKIE WILLIS
May 21, 2013
On Monday, fans got a first look at Jennifer Lawrence as the sexy blue beauty Raven/Mystique in director Bryan Singer's X-Men: Days of Future Past. But before The Hunger Games beauty donned this nearly-naked costume, supermodel Rebecca Romijn was Mystique in the comic-book film franchise.
Not just any woman can pull off this look but both ladies managed it.
RELATED PICS: Behind The Scenes of X-Men: Days of Future Past
"I've been in denial about the nudity: 'No, no, I'm very covered up.' I kept checking with the rest of the cast: 'You guys, I'm totally covered up, right?' And they'd tell me, 'No, Rebecca, you're naked,'" Romijn, now 40, told Entertainment Weekly back in 2003. "One time, Bryan opened the tent where I was literally bent over a chair getting my crack touched up. And I was like, 'Don't come in here, Bryan! You don't need to see this.'"
According to SHAPE magazine, Lawrence, 22, got into fighting form for her X-Men role. The actress is said to have told reporters that she was "hungry for five months" while dieting for her big part and worked out two hours every day with trainer James Duigan. The trainer told the magazine that Lawrence lifted her butt so much that the costume designers had to remake her prosthetic.
There can only be one winner in our Mystique showdown! Who do you think works the all-blue bodysuit best: Lawrence or Romijn?
X-Men: Days of Future Past doesn't hit theaters until July 18, 2014.

MIAMI (AP) — Forecasters say Hurricane Irene, which weakened to a Category 2 storm as it approached the U.S. coast, was about 50 miles south of Cape Lookout, N.C.
The National Hurricane Center said at 4 a.m. EDT Saturday that the enormous storm was moving north-northeastward at 14 mph (22 kph).
Forecasters say the storm has maximum sustained winds of 90 mph (150 kph) and was a still-dangerous Category 2 storm.
The Miami-based center says the location of Irene's center was estimated by experts aboard an Air Force Reserve hurricane hunter aircraft.

Mental Health
Have Mental Health Questions? Ask a Psychiatrist Online
Thanks for giving me the opportunity to serve....
Good morning - let's see if I can help you out here....
Good morning, and thank you.
OK.... I am sorry that you are dealing with so much in your life...
Thank you. I wouldn't say I'm dealing with much. I pretty much avoid everything. I do appreciate you being willing to help me.
Moreover, I am sorry that those that you have reached out to have not been able to help.... I have read your post a couple of times and I have some thoughts that I will share, but in the meantime please start thinking about a specific question that I can answer for you.
I guess, what do you think could be wrong with me?
I think you clarified that well.... You aren't dealing with too much - you are avoiding things - and that is what you are focusing on here. Which leads me to mention some of my thoughts......
I thought you might say something like ("what do you think could be wrong with me") for your question as you did. I'll get to your question by sharing my thoughts on your post...
I don't mean to minimize your situation and there are some things that need to change for you. However one of the things that came to my mind as I read your original post was that you are focusing on the things that are not going well. As I read what you are up against and how things are going, I can tell you that I have dealt with many young adults who have many more issues and deeper issues who don't see the problem at all...
When I say focusing, that's what I mean... in other words you do mention some things that are prosocial (such as having a job, taking online classes..) but you elected to focus on the negative aspect of those activities (such as I should have graduated already, I ONLY work part time...)
The fact is many others in your shoes would have just given up completely on school, wouldn't be working, and etc.
Just for clarification, I work part time purposely, because anything more would be so stressful for me I'd probably just up and quit, which would just make things worse.
Again, I'm not saying that there is no room for improvement and I'm not forgetting about your emotions (the depression you mentioned).
I understand.
Once again in reference to your most recent post... look how you framed it.......... The fact is that you are aware enough to take on no more than you can handle - this is a good trait. Now the key is to grow emotionally so you can take on more responsibility while feeling more comfortable about it.
I feel like a child in that I can't seem to handle anything other than very minimal amounts of responsibility. I feel like I have little to no coping mechanisms for the stress associated with responsibilities. I don't know how to help it.
So.... I don't think there is anything significantly "wrong" with you. Do you need some help? Absolutely! But I suspect that this is not nearly as severe as the picture you have painted in your mind.
I only think of it as severe because I've been unsuccessful in moving further in life, and it really hinders my quality of life as compared to what I imagine it could be. But, if it isn't as severe as it seems, I'm hoping that means it won't be incredibly difficult to deal with.
Yes, as I mentioned you need some help - but (based on my experience) I believe you can make progress and get out of the hole that you seem to feel like you are in and I'm going to share with you how I have helped others...
I understand (your last post)... believe me, we are on the same page here. If this were a counseling session I could make things clearer. AND yes, it won't be overwhelmingly difficult to deal with BUT................
......It will take some concerted effort on your part - both pragmatically as well as emotionally and behaviorally!
Here are the steps to take.......
1) pick some literature on SOLUTION FOCUSED COUNSELING. There is no shortage of books on this for beginning counselors. When you start to get an idea of how solution focused counselors get trained to help people such as yourself, you will begin to see why I said what I said and this will be your first step to making improvements in your life :)
2) Find a therapist that practices solution focuses counseling - either do an internet search for the counselor or for a mental health association in your area that can direct you do one. You should be able to find one without too much trouble - but if you can't... find a therapist that practices cognitive behavioral therapy (not a bad second choice).
Unfortunately, I live in an isolated area, with a town population of around 1000, so 2 isn't something I'd be able to do. Part of the reason why I've resorted to the internet.
3) Finally, start keeping a journal of the things in your life that are going well. You could start with the conversation that we are having here and how you have exhibited your strength by asking for help and guidance and how you initiated a plan to make improvements in your life! This journal can contain ONLY positive things.
OK... as for number two.... I completely understand. However, don't completely give up - what I'm saying is..... don't make it your passion, but check around periodically and expand your search. Maybe it's possible to travel periodically? Maybe not - but the point is to keep the possibilities open - don't automatically shut down.
And as a point of clarification - this is a question and answer site. I am a trained and experienced therapist, and my therapeutic nature comes out here - but I don't want to lead you to believe that this is really therapy. Good communication and good information and guidance? FOR SURE (gosh, I hope so [lol]).
But not therapy here. Having said that, there are some therapists who practice online counseling - I would prefer that you see someone in person, but if you can find a solution focused therapist that works online that would be great :)
In any event, I stand by #'s 1 and 3.
It's unlikely I'd be able to travel, so do you know of any good online therapists or anything?
Yeah, I thought #1 sounded interesting, and I'm fine with #3 for sure.
And I'd like to point out, that you've been more helpful than anyone I've spoken to in person. It seemed to be all about asking questions rather than providing any advice or help most of the time with them. And I'm sure that's saying something, considering the fact that this is rather limited compared to them.

Information literacy grants
Librarians and faculty at Lafayette are increasingly concerned about the need to graduate "information literate" students, those who know how to find, evaluate, and use information and who understand the ways in which information is created, disseminated, and organized in our society. The goal of the Lafayette Libraries' Information Literacy Grants is to encourage faculty to develop more classes in which students have these opportunities to develop information literacy skills.
Lafayette students are introduced to a few information literacy concepts in their First Year Seminar meetings with librarians, and some have an additional opportunity to develop information literacy skills in upper-level classes as faculty teach them how to use discipline-specific sources of information. But students need additional and repeated opportunities to find and evaluate information, to learn from experts how information is disseminated and gathered in a field, to examine their own methods and skills in seeking and using information, and to explore some of the economic, social, legal, and ethical issues that arise from new methods of producing and distributing information. Since 2002, 37 faculty have received information literacy grants.
Grant requirements
Faculty who wish to add information literacy to any existing class above the 100-level to be taught in the spring semester are invited to apply for a grant. Those who are awarded the grants will receive a $1,500 stipend. To be eligible, the class must include projects in which students gather, evaluate, and use information; involve collaboration with a librarian; and provide opportunities for students to do at least one of the following:
- Discover that the information they use exists within a framework developed to record, store, and access it and that research allows them to tap into an ongoing conversation among scholars;
- Example: Students trace a seminal idea, theory, or discovery through five years of literature, comparing newer articles to those that preceded them to determine what knowledge has been added, where contradictions exist, and what questions remain unanswered. Students also look for reports of this work in the popular press to determine how the material has been simplified and if it has been reported accurately.
- Example: Students use a portion of the library's manuscripts collections as part of a research project. In addition to using the information gathered from the collection, students write a brief analysis of the collection itself, describing what it contains, what's missing from it, how the collection was organized by the original owners, and what all of this reveals to researchers.
- Example: Students keep a journal of their research, record where and how they searched for information, how they altered their approach to the topic during the course of the research, and what steps they took when they were feeling overwhelmed, uncertain, or frustrated. At points in the semester, the faculty member or librarian reads the students' journals and provides advice.
- Example: Students interview those who work in a field to find out how they acquire the information they need in their field: how they keep up with what's new, what they do when they're embarking on a new project, and what they consider the best sources for information in the field. Students compare this with their own approach and discuss differences in the information-gathering processes of novices and experts.
- Example: Students debate the ownership of scientific information by researching and defending the views of the constituencies involved: scientists, not-for-profit publishers, for-profit publishers, librarians, and database producers. Students also write a short paper describing how various resolutions of the debate could affect their own access to information.
- Example: Students research one of the issues surrounding privacy of information in the digital age and draft federal legislation to address the problem.
Ideally, information literacy concepts will be woven into class discussions throughout the semester and each project that involves gathering or using information, but the class should also include one or two sessions devoted to information literacy. Students' work on information literacy should be part of their grade.
How to apply
To apply for a grant, write a one to two page description of how you plan to enhance a class with an information literacy component and send it to Lijuan Xu at Skillman Library. Include the name and number of the class that you are planning to enhance as well as the name of the librarian with whom you plan to collaborate. The deadline for spring 2018 will be announced in fall 2017. Questions may be addressed to Lijuan Xu at email@example.com or extension 5152.
