Sleep health centre
This article is from the WebMD News Archive
Insomniacs could be helped by more trained therapists
17th August 2012 - People with insomnia in England could increasingly access alternative treatment to sleeping pills because of the success of a new training programme for therapists in the NHS, say academics.
Trials led by Loughborough University found that CBT ( cognitive behaviour therapy) for insomnia can benefit people with the condition at any age.
Insomnia is difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep for long enough to feel refreshed afterwards. People with insomnia are likely to feel irritable and tired and have trouble coping when they are awake.
A common problem
In Britain, people report having insomnia more often than any other psychological condition, including anxiety, depression and even pain, according to the Office of National Statistics. Patients with the condition may be prescribed sleeping pills or a course of CBT. Sometimes this is carried out by a trained GP or by referral to a clinical psychologist.
Professor Kevin Morgan of Loughborough University, who led the trials, explained to us the concept of Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Insomnia (CBTi). "It is a question of encouraging insomnia sufferers to think about their sleep in a different way and to change the habits that bring about their sleep problems," he says.
Skills shortages
One barrier to CBTi has been the lack of trained counsellors in the health service. Professor Morgan says that what his team has done is develop a way of expanding those skills in the NHS. "What we've been doing is looking at ways of training staff who are already using CBT - albeit primarily for anxiety or depression - and adjusting their skills base so that they can now deliver Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for insomnia."
He adds: "England could be on one of the best places in Europe to have insomnia. It could be one of the few places where there is a uniformly trained, high quality standard, widely geographically distributed workforce, that can deliver CBT in preference to drug therapy for insomnia that affects around 10% of the population."
Professor Morgan's group has delivered training for therapists in health authorities in many parts of the country. "Every Parkinson's disease nurse in Scotland has been trained in CBTi and new courses are planned for Oxford and South Yorkshire," he says.
Self help
The trials involved delivering the principles of cognitive behavioural management for insomnia in a structured programme of 'self-help'. Patients were given six weekly booklets that explained how sleep works and how to gain control of it. They were also given access to a helpline, staffed by 'expert patients' who had experienced insomnia themselves.
Their success in coping with insomnia was compared with a control group in which people were handed a single sheet of advice detailing standard sleep hygiene measures.
The findings are based on a project about how to improve sleep among older people which is being carried out by the universities of Surrey, Bath and Loughborough. It is being funded by the Economic and Social Research Council.

Schizophrenia - Psychoanalytic treatment
Alternative approaches to schizophreniaEdit
An approach broadly known as the anti-psychiatry movement, notably most active in the 1960s, has opposed the orthodox medical view of schizophrenia as an illness.
Psychiatrist Thomas Szasz has argued that psychiatric patients are not ill but are just individuals with unconventional thoughts and behavior that make society uncomfortable. He argues that society unjustly seeks to control such individuals by classifying their behavior as an illness and forcibly treating them as a method of social control. It is worth noting that Szasz has never considered himself to be "anti-psychiatry" in the sense of being against psychiatric treatment, but simply believes that it should be conducted between consenting adults, rather than imposed upon anyone against their will.
Similarly, psychiatrist R. D. Laing has argued that the symptoms of what is normally called mental illness are comprehensible reactions to impossible demands that society and particularly family life places on some sensitive individuals. Laing was revolutionary in valuing the content of psychotic experience as worthy of interpretation, rather than considering it simply as a secondary but essentially meaningless marker of underlying psychological or neurological distress. His groundbreaking work, co-authored with Aaron Esterson, Sanity, Madness and the Family (1964) described eleven case studies of people diagnosed with schizophrenia and argued that the content of their actions and statements was meaningful and logical in the context of their family and life situations.
In the 1976 book The Origin of Consciousness in the Breakdown of the Bicameral Mind, psychologist Julian Jaynes proposed that until the beginning of historic times, schizophrenia or a similar condition was the normal state of human consciousness. This would take the form of a "bicameral mind" where a normal state of low affect, suitable for routine activities, would be interrupted in moments of crisis by "mysterious voices" giving instructions, which early people characterized as interventions from the gods. This theory was briefly controversial. Continuing research has failed to either further confirm or refute the thesis.
Psychiatrist Tim Crow has argued that schizophrenia may be the evolutionary price we pay for a left brain hemisphere specialization for language.56 Since psychosis is associated with greater levels of right brain hemisphere activation and a reduction in the usual left brain hemisphere dominance, our language abilities may have evolved at the cost of causing schizophrenia when this system breaks down.
Researchers into shamanism have speculated that in some cultures schizophrenia or related conditions may predispose an individual to becoming a shaman57. Certainly, the experience of having access to multiple realities is not uncommon in schizophrenia, and is a core experience in many shamanic traditions. Equally, the shaman may have the skill to bring on and direct some of the altered states of consciousness psychiatrists label as illness. (See anti-psychiatry.) Speculations regarding primary and important religious figures as having schizophrenia abound. Some commentators have endorsed the idea that major religious figures experienced psychosis, heard voices and displayed delusions of grandeur.
Alternative medicine tends to hold the view that schizophrenia is primarily caused by imbalances in the body's reserves and absorption of dietary minerals, vitamins, fats, and/or the presence of excessive levels of toxic heavy metals. The body's adverse reactions to gluten are also strongly implicated in some alternative theories (see gluten-free, casein-free diet).
One theory put forward by psychiatrists E. Fuller Torrey and R.H. Yolken is that the parasite Toxoplasma gondii leads to some, if not many, cases of schizophrenia.58
An additional approach is suggested by the work of Richard Bandler who argues that "The usual difference between someone who hallucinates and someone who visualizes normally, is that the person who hallucinates doesn't know he's doing it or doesn't have any choice about it." (Time for a Change, p107). He suggests that because visualization is a sophisticated mental capability, schizophrenia is a skill, albeit an involuntary and dysfunctional one that is being used but not controlled. He therefore suggests that a significant route to treating schizophrenia might be to teach the missing skill - how to distinguish created reality from consensus external reality, to reduce its maladaptive impact, and ultimately how to exercise appropriate control over the vizualization or auditory process. Hypnotic approaches have been explored by the physician Milton H. Erickson as a means of facilitating this.

Reader Revealed: Who Doesn't Love A Cup Cake?
Hands down, the best thing about working at The Frisky is our amazing readers. We so heart all of your witty, thoughtful, and informative comments—heck, we even appreciate the mean ones. Sometimes, we can't help but wonder about the faces behind the avatars. So we decided to launch a weekly column where we learn all about a Frisky reader. After the jump, meet Cup Cake, one of our most prolific commenters. Please state your name, age, and location for The Friskyverse
My name is Natasha Kingston, I am 26 years old, and two weeks ago I moved from Manchester, CT, to Philadelphia.
How did you find the site?
It was linked from CNN. I think it was an article about "Things guys don't want to say but want you to know" or something like that. Man, it feels like ages ago.
What do you do all day, other than follow The Frisky, which is totally condoned?
Before moving, I worked on a goat farm called Beltane in Lebanon, CT. I am really into local, natural food and while there I learned to milk goats, administer shots, trim hooves, and in the afternoon, make cheese and yogurt. We moved to Philly because my husband works for a beer importer and apparently people in Philly are willing to pay more for their beer than folks in CT. We bought our first house, which is AWESOME, but I haven't found a job as of yet; my car literally exploded (there were flames) a week before we moved, so I am getting a bike and need to find something fairly close by. Keeping my fingers crossed for something having to do with local food again. For now I am doing the unpacking, decorating, and various house-wifey chores, which is actually kind of nice. Oooh, almost forgot: I am about halfway through writing a romance novel! I had been reading some of those free ones you get on the Kindle, and they were SO BAD. I was like, "I can totally do this." It's called A Treacherous Flame. Bwahaha.
Relationship status?
Married. He is pretty much the s**t. We met while I was engaged to somebody else, a really good guy that I was nevertheless having doubts about. I met Brendan (we worked together at Whole Foods) and he made a great joke when someone asked what clotted cream was: "Oh, it's SO British. You couldn't be more British unless you wore a crown and a monocle," and immediately I thought, I am going to end up with that guy. I thought I was being stupid and tried to put it out of my mind, that it was just a silly crush. It wasn't.
What is your fave post in recent Frisky history?
"What Was Your Favorite Tween Book Series?" It brought back so many memories to see the book covers for The Babysitters Club and Nancy Drew, and the comments below reminded me of some awesome books I had forgotten about, like A Wrinkle In Time and The Girl With The Silver Eyes. Reading was (and is) my #1 pastime and I will definitely be going back to revisit some of these!
What are your pop culture guilty pleasures?
Oh man, I hate to admit it, but the "Real Housewives of Orange County." I don't have cable anymore, but I will watch some episodes on Hulu (when my husband isn't home because he always threatens suicide when it's on) and I can't get enough of the trainwreck. I mean, the way these women delude themselves and think they are being "classy" is so hilarious. But I'd be lying if I didn't admit I would love to go hat shopping and then sit in a private box at a horse race.
Can you share your most embarrassing dating story? We always share ours. It's only fair.
Hmmm, this one is kind of tough for me because I don't get that easily embarrassed. I am not sure this counts because I wasn't embarrassed at the time, but here goes …
Back in high school I dated the same guy for all four years and we were one of those dysfunctional high school couples that is always fighting and breaking up and getting back together. It was the worst—I still can't believe I stayed with him so long. But I digress. One day during a really bad fight he told me that he didn't really love me, that he was just saying that to get me to sleep with him. I think we had been together two years at this point. I was so shocked that I didn't answer, just stormed off to the bathroom and cried. But after getting that out of my system, I got really friggin angry and headed for the cafeteria, where said boyfriend was eating lunch. I must have had quite the expression on my face because as I walked between the tables, everyone grew quiet. When I reached him, I started swinging wildly but I was so upset that all my swings went wide and before I could even hit him, the Vice Principal pinned my arms behind me and escorted me to his office, where they called my parents and I was sent home for the day. I am only embarrassed that I didn't even get in one good punch, and that I wasted two more years on that guy after that.
Who is your celebrity doppelganger?
Awww, sad face … when I was thinner I got Catherine Zeta Jones a bunch of times. Since I have gained weight, I have been told by a lot of people that I look like Sara Ramirez from "Grey's Anatomy." Not that that's a bad thing, but … "I need to get back into that bubble." ("30 Rock?" Anyone?)
What type of skivvies do you have on right now?
A rather uncomfortable white push-up bra edged in red lace with red straps and cherries all over it, very retro. No panties … not cuz I'm naughty, but because they suck. I hate panty lines and I have a big booty and they bunch up or don't cover it, and I am too fat to pull off a thong. Plus, I hear it's better for vaginal health! Yay to healthy cooters!
What is your secret talent?
Blow jobs? Haha, just kidding. (No I'm not.) I can watch a movie or TV show once and recall dialogue word for word; I was always really frustrated when I was in theater school and people couldn't remember their lines, and I would have mine AND theirs memorized. It also comes in quite useful in marriage, let me tell you. It's like I have a courtroom stenographer in my head.
Favorite book, movie, musician or band?
Favorite book: Little Women (I don't often admit this, but I am most like Amy … a spoiled brat who is trying to reform). Favorite Movie: Oooh, that's a tie between "Amadeus" or "Thelma and Louise." Favorite Musician or Band: Another tie between Sunny Day Real Estate or Lupe Fiasco.
Who is your celebrity crush?
Liz Lemon. Not Tina Fey, just the fictional character Liz Lemon. Oh, and Patrick Jane from "The Mentalist," but not Simon Baker. Apparently, I go for someone with characters over someone with celebrity. ;)
What's something you hope to see more of on The Frisky?
I want to applaud you guys on pulling back a little on the million "Jersey Shore" blurbs that were happening for a minute there. I do have one question though … what happened to Daily Shoe Porn? And is there a way that we can use spammers' IP addresses to track them down and eviscerate them?

The Justice Department is requiring health insurers Humana Inc. and Arcadian Management Services Inc. to divest assets of Arcadian's Medicare Advantage business in five states.
The divestiture is a condition of allowing Humana to acquire Arcadian.
The companies have agreed to the move, which is designed to preserve competition for 71,000 residents of 51 counties and parishes in Arizona, Arkansas, Louisiana, Oklahoma and Texas.
The Justice Department says the original transaction would have eliminated competition between Humana and Arcadian, two of few significant sellers of Medicare Advantage plans, in 45 of the 51 counties and parishes.
Congress gave people eligible for Medicare the choice of enrolling in a privately provided Medicare Advantage plan instead of traditional Medicare.
Humana is headquartered in Louisville, Ky., and Arcadian is headquartered in Oakland, Calif.

Bat symbol and the smoking bunker indirectly pass on to the sport baseball. The low empty (recess) can hold only that much of marijuana which is sufficient for one hit. Therefore, the pipe of the dugout is called as one-hitter. [Here one-hit implies a single inhalation]. The figure of the cylindrical one-hitter pipe is like a base ball bat. The name "dug-out" is resulting from the procedure of digging the one-hitter pipe into the marijuana section in arrange to dig-out marijuana from it. In base ball game, those groups of actors who don't play vigorously in the field sits in a box, which is called as dugout. Equally, in smoking dugout, the marijuana sits in the dug-out box, when it is not in use. Often, the customers of marijuana use this smoking dugout box in the public places to burn in marijuana. The motive is that, smoking marijuana from smoking dugout box is extremely much comparable to cigarette smoking.
This smoking machine is from time to time called as "Tobacco Taster", since in its place of smoking marijuana; tobacco can also be second-hand for smoking. The one-hitter pipe of this machine is from time to time also called as "pinch hitter", since at a time, it can weight just a touch of marijuana.

I'm originally from Chicago, which is a city that instills the value of close friends and relationships (especially in the winter). Both of these remain very important to me even after living 9 years here in the bay area. I'm still learning about what San Francisco has to offer. I've just recently discovered the live music scene, all types from rock to classical. Two other favorite things, food and wine, I found before I moved here. I always enjoy a weekend in wine country exploring new wineries. I love to travel and it would be nice to find someone to explore the world with. I am a scuba diver so part of the world I like to explore lies under the surface of the water.
My personality and life style tends not to fall into that of the typical gay guy's. I am gay, but that fact does not define me. I'm not afraid of hard work in the office or in a friend's vineyard. I am as comfortable sleeping in a tent as sleeping in a fancy hotel.
I have worked in the pharmaceutical/medical device industry for 18 years, which translates into being health conscience. I enjoy exercise, but I'm not a gym rat. With everything in life, a balance must be found. Work/pleasure, soberness/bacchanal, all should be balanced.
A person I would feel a connection with would understand this and would be a balanced guy who is self-confident and is not afraid to be himself. He should want to teach me new things that he is excited about as well as wanting to learn from what excites me. He should value trust and loyalty, as these are the things that relationships are founded upon. He should also be comfortable with his sensual side and not be afraid to give or receive affection.
Send me a note if any of this hits home. Who knows what may develop!
Paring wine and food - I have a great palate, dinner parties at my place are what my close friends wait for.
Puscifer, Diamonda Galas, Sleigh Bells, Explosions in the Sky, Partricia Barber, Godspeed you Black Emperor, Colin Stetson, Dead Can Dance, Soulfly, Wesley Morgan, Peter Gabriel, Amon Tobin
Just getting back into collecting vinyl records. They sound great on a good turntable!
My Passport - One of two required items for traveling.
Mastercard or Visa - The other required item for traveling. As long as you have your Passport and a chargecard, you can get what you need along the way.
Love of life - Life would be boring otherwise.
My friends/family - The best support and happiness factor in life.

''Leisure Suit Larry: Magna Cum Laude'' is a 2004 video game and the seventh entry in the ''VideoGame/LeisureSuitLarry'' series. The game introduces a new main character -- Larry ''Lovage'', [[GenerationXerox Larry Laffer's nephew]].
Like many other current games, Magna Cum Laude has a free exploration mode where Larry can walk about campus and interact with students and personnel on the premises. In this mode, Larry can search for hidden money or tokens, strike poses to impress girls, and take photos which can later be sold to collectors. At several locations on campus a minigame can be entered, usually by "activating" an object or a person (starting a conversation). The player must win most of the minigames in order to advance. Minigames started by a conversation usually increase the affection of one of the girls; other minigames can provide money or increase "confidence".
The main character, Larry Lovage, is a student at Walnut Log Community College whose purpose is to get on a dating TV show called "Swingles". Uma Yasmine, the hostess of the show won't allow Larry in the show until he proves his seductive wits by obtaining "tokens of affection". Sixteen college girls will conveniently be at his disposal. His aging uncle Larry provides brief advice and appears at a local bar. Larry also must outsmart a sorority house and a fraternity house known as Delta Iota Omicron.
!!!Provides examples of:
* ADateWithRosiePalms: The masturbation minigame boosts Larry's confidence statistic, which opens up additional scenarios.
* AllGuysWantCheerleaders: Barbara Jo.
* AlliterativeName: Larry Lovage.
* AmazonianBeauty: Zanna.
* AndYourRewardIsClothes: The player needs to buy special clothes in order to get in some places.
* AnimatedActors: One of the chat scenes between Larry Lovage and band geek Harriet has Larry break character to harangue his agent for most of the scene about [[WhoWritesThisCrap how lousy]] [[LampshadeHanging this storyline is]]; if you lose the minigame, Harriet storms off to her trailer at the end.
* TheBaroness: Tilly.
* BrawnHilda: Zanna.
* ButtMonkey: Larry. Everyone hates him.
* CampGay: Almost everyone in the Spartacus nightclub. A few are StraightGay and the rest don't get enough lines to have a personality anyway.
* CanonDiscontinuity: Al Lowe does not consider Magna Cum Laude as part of the series.
* DancePartyEnding

* [[invoked]]IKnewIt: In the Ione L story, when Larry is confronted by several angry people over his earlier actions (see WhatTheHellHero below), he panics and the only thing he can do is shout "I'M GAY!" After shocked reactions from those around, ''Larry's own penis'' has this reaction.

I know at first glance you might not see anything special about these shoes, but I want you to look more closely (and at the other colors it comes in). At first glance it's just another good plain shoe. And I'm not arguing that it's not that, but then notice the piping around the edge, notice the peep toe, notice that while it's a basic shoe it's anything but ordinary.
I love the accents on this boot. the way the leather seems folded into itself. It's anything but ordinary.
i am obsessed with forever21 super on-trend shoes. these look so much like frye boots!Added 9 Years Ago from Forever 21
The little bow thing at the top is like a garter. It is sassy! Totally a unique twist!
this is a nice toned-down version of the classic cowboy boot. a great day boot for fall and winter.

A COTSWOLD couple who met at a village dance more than six decades ago have celebrated their diamond wedding anniversary.
John and May Freeman, of Shepherd's Way in Cirencester, spoke of their happiness as they remembered how they met all those years ago at a village dance.
The 82-year-olds were at the event in John's home village of Sapperton when he asked May, of Frampton Mansell, for a dance.
The love affair began soon after and within a couple of years, in 1952 and both aged 22, they were celebrating their wedding day at Sapperton Church in front of family and friends.
Still on rations, money was tight and so they spent their week-long honeymoon with family in London.
John had left the RAF and started working as an engineer in Brimscombe while May was employed in several factories.
The couple moved around but never left the Cotswolds and finally settled in Shepherd's Way in 1988.
Former pub darts champion John said the secret to a happy marriage was plenty of give and take. "You've always got to do what the boss says," he laughed. "You should never go to bed on an argument and always sort it out."
They celebrated the anniversary with a special at the Bees Knees in Cirencester on Sunday with family and friends.

MANCHESTER, N.H. (AP) — Republican presidential contender Newt Gingrich says he's thrilled with a no-rules debate against GOP competitor Jon Huntsman.
Their discussion about foreign policy at New Hampshire's Saint Anselm College on Monday was modeled after the debates between Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas in 1858. There were no strict time limits or a formal moderator.
In their debate, Gingrich and Huntsman agreed on virtually everything.
But Gingrich, who is rising in the polls, says more substantive debates are needed. He says the presidential race isn't a reality show.
The format allows Gingrich to showcase his broad knowledge. He's a former college professor who worked in Washington for three decades and was speaker of the House.

Church leaders are pressing the Kenyan government to scientifically test herbal medicines that are used by millions to manage and treat diseases, saying the nontraditional therapies could be putting patients' health at risk.
The leaders say HIV/AIDS patients and others suffering chronic conditions are widely using the medicines, whose efficacy is unknown.
"We are urging the government to test the medicines in modern laboratories so that citizens can be advised scientifically about what they are taking. That's a challenge we are also throwing to universities," former Anglican Archbishop Benjamin Nzimbi told reporters Oct. 15.
The natural medicines are so popular that some churches are advising their congregations and people with AIDS to use them to boost their immunity, alongside standard anti-retroviral medicines, Nzimbi said.
Sometimes, that advice is being interpreted to mean that sick people should abandon their medicine in favor of the herbs, according to Nyabuto Marube, an evangelical church leader.
"That's the risk," he said. "They should not been seen as replacements for modern medicines, but as supplements for now."
The Rev. Gideon Byamugisha, the Ugandan Anglican priest who in 1992 became the first African religious leader to declare he was HIV-positive, told an Oct. 15 medical conference how he had used herbs to fight opportunistic infections.
"When I became sick in 1998, a time when there were no ARVs, I used garlic to fend off infections," Byamugisha said. "There are many herbs in use, but we also need to know how they combine with modern medicines."
A "miracle herbal cure" allegedly discovered in 2010 by a retired Lutheran pastor, Ambilikile Mwasapile, recently attracted more than 4 million pilgrims within a year.

Homework Questions? Ask a Tutor for Answers ASAP
Is there a word count required for this opinion?
It can be a brief paragraph of 3 or 4 sentences long.
Please send me the answers as a private document.
I will do so.
Do you want an internal JA link, or an external sendspace.com link?
What about mediafire?
I can do that.
How quickly do you need this?
no later than today
Oh, no problem. I should have it for you within the hour. I just wanted to make sure it was not due in 10 minutes or something.
Some people wait until the very last minute before getting help.
Attachment: 2012-05-24_164824_democracy-internet.doc
Oh, you said mediafire. Let me go post that. We can lock this for privacy as soon as you accept it, if you want.
Is my answer acceptable? If so, please accept and rate my answer so I can request the privacy lock. If there is a problem with it, let me know so I can make corrections.

Ok, I will have it for you this afternoon.
Thank you!
Did you get the file?
What you mean when you said: " With all the reservations I have, if I had access to overrides for the computer for emergencies"
I pointed out that I would worry about the computer having errors. If there were safeguards in place to shut down the computer in the case of problems, I would feel much safer.

I gotta drop off some books soon, too. I finished all of Augusten Burroughs' books so I will drop them off soon, along with a bloated bag of my wife's trashy novels and dime thrillers.

The Howland Library unloaded some old videos on us and there are boxes of them sitting on the floor. Some are old titles, some are recent. Some are movies, others are instructional videos. Stop in for a look!

I spent a few hours last night collapsing old boxes. We get so many donations over time that we have to get rid of the containers they came to us in.

I also got a decent crowd for working three hours. I met a few people in the town, had a few regulars, too. Nice to see a city active on a Thursday night.

I started in January of this year. I say "working" in quotes because all of us who work here are volunteers. We do this to help the Howland Public Library and the community of Beacon.

I've met a lot of people in the community since starting here. First, there is the Boss Lady (as she is affectionately known), Marcia. Marcia said I would meet a few characters working here and right she was. Beacon Reads has a few regulars, some of whom stop in with a story, others with a bag of books for us to sell. Others quietly peruse the shelves and leave. On occasion I have a lively conversation over a book someone is purchasing - any subject from belief in a deity to Danielle Steele's prolific career.

Not only do we get Beacon residents stopping in, but the weekenders and tourists stop in. They might be people with second homes somewhere in the area, or people who have come for the day to see Dia and walk around the town.

We appreciate all our customers and look forward to having more. Please tell a friend. We got a lot of good stuff at great prices, and a friendly staff to help.

C&K editor Jeff Moag spoke Wednesday afternoon with Scott Lee, one of more than two-dozen river runners camped near the barricaded road to the Grand Canyon put-in. Lee and his 16-person party had a valid permit to launch Wednesday morning, but National Park Service rangers barred access to the river, citing the government shutdown.
How are you?
I've been better. (laughs)
Our permit was for today, so we're not that far gone yet. We're going to hunker down for a few days and see what happens. We've paid the bill, our food is packed, the boats are ready to go.
The biggest unknown, even should the government open up tomorrow, is whether they'll let us go down. They're not telling us whether they will or not. The other option is maybe they'll be a cancellation we'll be able to get on.
There could be a lot of cancellations. People with launches in the next few days are making some hard choices right now.
Yeah. We're not giving up yet.
During the 1995 shutdown, the State of Arizona stepped in and paid to keep the park open. I understand there's an effort underway to ask Arizona Governor Janice Brewer to intervene.
There's absolutely no progress. We've talked to all the congressmen, all the senators. We've tried the governor's office. I've had the head U.S. correspondent for the National Park Service on the phone today, and his answer was "our hands are tied."
Tell us about your group.
We're kind of an extended family. We've got some kids—two 8th-graders, a senior in high school, a couple of college students. My son is with me. We've got three uncles who are here with either their nieces or their nephews.
I've been putting in for permits for a number of years. My trip leader has put in for this every January since 1995. Yeah, a long time. He's never been down the Grand Canyon. He's never had the opportunity. And you've run the Grand, so you understand the money right?
About 30 grand for a 16-person trip, yeah. But as a river-runner I don't think about that. I think about those uncles and nephews and nieces who are never going to share that once-in-a-lifetime trip.
Other media are reporting that the NPS rangers have volunteered to man the barricades. True?
They will not tell us whether they're being paid or not. The first time we asked them, they said they're not getting paid. And now they are just completely skirting the question. But one thing I can tell you is it's the same four people that have been working pretty much around the clock. I've tried to get their supervisors' phone numbers, and I've tried to contact the park superintendent but I've been unsuccessful there.
How has your interaction been with the rangers?
It's definitely been civil. There were a couple of tense moments yesterday when this thing first started, but we've been working really hard to patch that up. So now we're working together and understand that we're all in the same situation, because hopefully when the opportunity comes they're going to be lenient and let us through, right?
Have you thought about either taking some back roads in to the river, or a civil disobedience action where you'd walk across the barricade and force them to arrest you?
We've certainly thought about getting in that way, but we rented our gear. All of our boats and gear is on the outfitter's two vehicles, and they have a future out here with the Park Service. They're not going to go renegade.
So we've been talking about going from Diamond down (the non-permitted section of the Colorado below the Grand Canyon). We've been talking about doing the San Juan. We've been talking about going to Westwater. I don't know. Our options aren't many, 'cause there's 16 of us, in two vehicles. And they aren't our vehicles.
Read more about the standoff in Wednesday morning's story and Tuesday's breaking report on how the government shutdown has stymied Grand Canyon boaters.

|Back To Agenda
|Print Page
In May 2002, the City Council established the Open Space, Planning and Recreation and Parks Task Force to study a wide range of recreation and open space issues facing the City of Rancho Palos Verdes. The Task Force conducted an extensive public outreach effort to better assess and identify the community's goals, ideas, and opinions. This effort included a professional telephone survey, stakeholder meetings, and two facilitated public workshops. From its inception, a significant portion of the Task Force's resources was focused on developing a plan for Upper Point Vicente Park. A number of groups, including the San Pedro YMCA, Zenith Aquatic Program (ZAP) and the Palos Verdes Art Center were interested participants in the Upper Point Vicente planning process. The Task Force Report was presented to the City Council on June 29, 2004.
Approximately nine months later, at their meeting of March 29, 2005, the City Council heard a number of options for developing Upper Point Vicente ranging from the Task Force's recommended approach to plans that emphasized civic and cultural aspects, civic and recreation components, and civic and open space access. The City Council also heard a proposal that evening from Art Center representatives describing a concept under which the Art Center would construct a $15 million facility on City land, deed it to the City and lease it back through a long term lease arrangement. The City Council approved the plan in concept and encouraged the Art Center to continue its study of the site. The Council also agreed on other potential uses for the Civic Center site. The following is an excerpt from the minutes of the March 29, 2005 City Council meeting:
Mayor Clark noted that Council had reached a consensus on the major components to be considered for the Upper Point Vicente site, including a remodeled City Hall with new Council Chambers, a new facility for the Palos Verdes Art Center, an outdoor pool, a gymnasium, a village green, an amphitheater, a band shell and trail heads; and asked staff to look at the site map and determine how it might all fit together and report back to Council. Without objection, Mayor Clark so ordered. He asked that staff work with the representatives from the Palos Verdes Art Center to bring in an architect to help out in this initial planning phase, and noted that this was not intended to be a full scale development project at this time.
Upper Point Vicente Site Description
The remaining 65.12 acres of City-owned property is largely undeveloped although an approximately 5.5-acre portion of this area has been leased for many years to a dry farming operation. The U.S. Coast Guard also owns a 3.93 acre parcel overlooking the Point Vicente Lighthouse, which is the site of several communications towers and an abandoned WWII-era artillery bunker.
Regarding the Upper Point Vicente site, the General Plan states: "It is the City's intent to use the (Upper Point Vicente) site for a civic center and parkland. While the Nike Site is not the geographic center of the City, it has the potential for becoming a strong focal point for the community. A civic center . . . ringed with parkland, would be a good focus for the City." In addition, the discussion of Institutional land uses on page 197 states: "Recreational activities are generally compatible with institutional uses and are often part of such uses."
Site Analysis
A number of concerns are pertinent to any significant development at Upper Point Vicente and would need to be further analyzed if the City Council decided to proceed with developing a plan for a civic center complex at this site. These concerns include access/sightline analysis, parking/circulation, grading/phasing, impact on existing maintenance yard, and impact on trails/habitat.
Palos Verdes Art Center
On October 6, 2003 the firm of Jones and Stokes was authorized to perform a preliminary investigation of the entire 78 acre Upper Point Vicente Site. The report was completed in May 2004 and identified no fatal flaws in the proposed use plan, but recommended additional studies.
At their meeting of March 29, 2005 the City Council heard a proposal from Art Center representatives describing a concept under which the Art Center would construct a $15 million facility on City land, deed it to the City and lease it back through a long term lease arrangement. The City Council approved the plan in concept and encouraged the Art Center to continue its study of the site.
On May 31, 2005 the City Council approved a request from the Palos Verdes Art Center to perform the additional studies recommended in the 2003 Jones and Stokes Report. The Art Center recommended that the environmental review firm, PSI, perform the additional studies necessary to further refine the potential use of Upper Point Vicente for the proposed Art Center. The PSI Study was completed and forwarded to the City Council on August 29, 2005 with some relatively minor recommendations for remediation including the removal of underground storage tanks.
On February 1, 2006 the Art Center submitted a proposed lease agreement to the City. A copy of the Agreement was provided to the City Council at their February 4, 2006 Tactical Planning Workshop. A copy of the proposed lease agreement is attached. Staff responded to the Art Center staff with concerns about the proposed lease and Mayor Wolowicz, City Attorney Lynch and City Manager Evans met with the Art Center leadership to go over those concerns on March 7, 2006.
On February 4, 2006, the matter of a Master Plan for Upper Point Vicente was continued to the April 18, 2006 City Council meeting.
On April 6, 2006 Staff received a Memorandum of Understanding and Letter of Intent from the Art Center. A copy of this material is attached. In the letter, the Art Center indicated that they needed a commitment from the City regarding the lease of the civic center site by mid-May 2006.
April 7, 2006, during a meeting with Councilman Gardiner and Maude Landon, Art Center President, a list of concerns and recommended changes to the Art Center MOU proposal, prepared by the City Manager, was provided to the Art Center leadership. The list of suggested changes to the MOU is attached. The Art Center leadership feels that the suggested MOU revisions are all negotiable with the exception with the term of the lease.
Other Potential Joint Uses on Site
YMCA Facility
The proposed location of the gymnasium and pool facility is in an area of the site with a General Plan land use designation of "Recreational – Passive." The City's General Plan would need to be amended to accommodate the proposed active recreational uses on this portion of the site.
- The proposed location of the gymnasium and pool facility may not be compatible with the passive recreational deed restrictions on the property and at a minimum would require an amendment to the existing Program of Utilization.
- There may be concerns raised by the public about joint venture between City and an organization that is perceived as having a religious affiliation.
- There may be concerns raised by the public about residents having to pay a membership fee in order to use a recreational facility located on City property.
- The structure and terms of any lease agreement between the City and the YMCA would require further study.
Palos Verdes Unified School District
Staff has held preliminary discussions with Palos Verdes Unified School District officials including Superintendent Ira Tobin. A joint City/School District administrative facility at Upper Point Vicente was discussed and made conceptual sense to management staff from both agencies. The School District's staff is about one-third the size of the City staff. Each agency could potentially have its own building at Upper Point Vicente while sharing a City Council/District Board meeting room, lobby, conference rooms, kitchen facilities, lounge, and other public areas.
Zenith Aquatic Program (ZAP)
The Zenith Aquatic Program Foundation (ZAP) has submitted a proposal to build and operate a pool and gymnasium on approximately the same location as the YMCA site. While ZAP's main focus is on aquatics and building a state-of-the-art community pool in Rancho Palos Verdes, their proposal includes a gymnasium suitable for basketball, volleyball, and other activities in addition to weight room and aerobic facilities. The majority of the issues raised regarding YMCA also apply to ZAP's proposal.
Current Joint Use on Site
Respectfully submitted:
Les Evans
Attachments: Task Force Plan for Upper Point Vicente
1. Lease Term and Commencement Date. Staff believes the initial term of lease should be 30 years rather than 99. The Art Center should be able to recoup its investment in this period. The Council may wish to renew the lease at the end of 30 years with the same, or revised terms.

Hi Sebastien,
The chances are that you bent the lower control arm and ball joint and that the CV axle could have also been damaged. As you said, the tie rod also needs to be replaced.
It is also possible that the spindle, hub bearing and strut are also damaged but it is hard to tell without looking at it in person.
Without seeing it myself, I would guess that the parts would be about $500 and if you have to bring it to a shop, the labor could also be $500 too. The hub bearing and strut could cost more and either way you will need an alignment. Make sure to check the rack and pinion too.

Not to be confused with Gared Tuttle, a character from another continuity.

Gared is a ranger of the Night's Watch. His are the first words of the series.
Appearance and Character
- See also: Images of Gared
Gared is past fifty. He lost both ears, three toes and the little finger of his left hand to the cold.[1] He is old and scrawny.[2] He is considered a very experienced ranger.[4]
Gared joined the Night's Watch as a boy and spent forty years as a ranger. When his ears had frostbite one winter, Maester Aemon had to cut them off. He is known to have made fun of Ser Waymar Royce because of the fine clothes the young lordling is wearing and of his inexperience.[1]
Shortly before the series starts, Gared was sent by Lord Commander Jeor Mormont ranging into the Haunted Forest, going after a band of wildling raiders. He was accompanied by Ser Waymar and Will. Mormont gave the command to Ser Waymar, although he was by far the least experienced of the three, whereas Mormont counted Gared and Will among his best men. However, Ser Waymar felt it was his due to have a command because he was a knight, and Mormont accepted because he didn't want to offend Waymar's father.[4]
For nine days, the three followed the wildlings, first going north, then northwest, then north again. The weather kept getting colder. On the ninth day, Will felt increasingly apprehensive, as if something cold and implacable was watching him, and Gared felt the same. They finally caught up with the wildlings on the ninth day. Will sneaked near their camp to gather information and saw eight people, men and women. However, he wasn't able to see any movements over an extended period of time. He returned to Ser Waymar and Gared, reporting that the wildlings were dead, probably killed by the cold.[1]
Recent events
A Game of Thrones
Gared, Will and Ser Waymar Royce are near the camp of the wildling raiders they have been following, talking about how to proceed. Gared tries to persuade Ser Waymar to head back to the Wall, but without luck. Ser Waymar points out that it's unlikely that a group of eight adult wildlings would freeze to death at a time when the Wall is weeping. Thus the three men go to search the corpses to discover what killed them. While they are approaching the wildling camp, it turns night and a half-moon rises. Gared says he can feel that something is wrong, but Ser Waymar dismisses the suggestion. He is mocking the experienced ranger repeatedly, making Gared increasingly angry.[1]
Ser Waymar orders Gared to remain with the horses while he and Will walk the last part. Gared intends to make a fire, arguing that fire can keep some enemies away. This earns him a sharp rebuke by Ser Waymar who calls him a fool. Grudgingly, Gared accepts the order. When they are at the wildling camp, Will and Ser Waymar cannot find the bodies. Will climbs a tree to look for them. Both men feel that it's getting markedly colder. Suddenly, Ser Waymar is attacked and killed by the Others. Will stays in the trees until he is sure that the Others have left. When Will goes down, he is attacked and strangled by Ser Waymar, who has been turned into a wight.[1]
It is not known how much of this Gared has seen, but he apparently flees south in terror. He does not rejoin his brothers at the Wall and so is seen as a deserter. Gared is arrested south of the Wall outside a small holdfast in the hills near Winterfell. He is in a ragged and distraught condition. He is later questioned by Lord Eddard Stark. Also present are Bran and Robb Stark, Jon Snow, Theon Greyjoy, Jory Cassel, Desmond, Tomard, Hullen and Harwin. Gared is half mad and Lord Eddard's words don't reach him.[2][5][6]
For his desertion, Gared is sentenced to death by Lord Eddard, who performs the beheading himself with the greatsword Ice, in accordance with the traditions of the First Men. It's the fourth execution of a deserter Lord Eddard performs this year. Afterwards, Theon laughs and kicks Gared's head when it lands near his feet, provoking Jon Snow's disapproval. Lord Eddard thinks that Gared behaved well just before he died and Robb grants him that he showed some courage at that moment, yet Jon Snow believes that it wasn't courage, pointing out that Gared was primarily dead with fear.[2][5] Lord Eddard sends Gared's head to Lord Commander Mormont of the Night's Watch.[4]
While Lord Commander Mormont is telling Tyrion Lannister about the conditions on the wall to gain his support, he mentions the ranging on which Will and Ser Waymar went missing. He laments giving the command to someone as inexperienced as Ser Waymar, calling himself a fool about it. He mentions that Gared had been longer at the wall than himself and that he would never have believed the man would turn. There has been no word on the other two men. Mormont has sent Benjen Stark to search for the men, and now Benjen has also disappeared. There is no one for the commander to send to search for Benjen.[4]
|We should start back. The wildlings are dead.[1]
|"Everyone talks about snows forty foot deep, and how the ice wind comes howling out of the north, but the real enemy is the cold."[1]
Quotes about Gared
|The poor man was half mad. Something had put a fear in him so deep that my words could not reach him.[5]
Game of Thrones
In the TV series the roles of Gared and Will are swapped. Gared is beheaded by an Other and Will flees south until he is captured and executed.[7] Gared is played by Dermot Keaney.[8]

Chronicle Wines Sonoma Coast Pinot Noir 2007
Pinot Noir from Sonoma Coast, Sonoma County, California
Winemaker Notes
The Sonoma Coast shows delicate aromas of dark cherries and oak vanillin. The wine is juicy and bright on the palate, displaying brisk acidity and complex flavors of cherries, raspberry, pomegranate and cola. Dry and elegant with supple tannins, it will develop complexity thru 2013.

The grapes come from the cooler, southern part of Russian River Valley, and the wine displays brisk acidity and complex flavors of cherries, pomegranates and cola. It's young now, but dry and elegant, and should develop bottle complexity through 2013.

Artwork from The Legend of Zelda Game Manual
The Boulders are more a trap rather than an enemy. They are an inanimate and undefeatable enemy found in a few The Legend of Zelda games. They usually fall from above on to Link to damage him. There is no way to defeat boulders, they must be simply avoided.
The Legend of Zelda
Boulders are found in the mountainous regions at the northern part of the Overworld. They tumble down Death Mountain, dealing a half heart of damage if they make contact with Link.
The Adventure of Link
In this game, boulders simply fly slowly back and forth in deserts. Since Link can't kill them, he must jump over them or blocking them with the Shield. Blocking them with the Shield can usually be more effective than jumping over them and such.
Game Data
|Experience Points
|Item Drop
|Enemy Habitat
|Deserts of Western Hyrule
|Combat Data
| •Cannot be attacked
•Removed with Thunder
A Link to the Past
Boulders in A Link to the Past appear in an almost identical fashion as they did in The Legend of Zelda. They appear exclusively in the mountainous region of Death Mountain. Often accompanied by Deadrock, boulders can be quite difficult to avoid without taking some damage.
Link's Awakening
These boulders can be found at the north-western part of Koholint Island, near the entrance to Turtle Rock. Boulders fall from the top of the screen and bounce around the mountainous terrain. Avoiding these boulders is only challenging if Link is trying to climb a staircase. There is no way to defeat a boulder. It may be fastest to get hit on purpose and continue on Link's way, instead of trying to dodge them. Luckily, boulders only do half a heart of damage, so Link is not in danger of dying unless his hearts are very low.
Ocarina of Time
Boulders appear in many areas in the Overworld. They don't really move at all, acting like resilient obstacles, blocking areas of ingress to Link. Normal boulders can be destoyed with Bombs to clear the way for Link.
Oracle of Ages
Boulders can be found on Restoration Wall near Symmetry City. They fall from holes at the top of the wall and try to hurt Link when he is climbing it. They can be quite pesky, especially if Link has lower heart levels. Link must try to steer out of the way to avoid these boulders since he can't defeat them.
The Minish Cap
Boulders appear on Mt. Crenel. They rain down on top of Link while he is on the climbing wall. They can be difficult to dodge due to an erratic bouncing pattern.
Battle Quest
This explosives-filled boulder is made for rolling down slopes. I highly suggest you shoot it BEFORE it reaches you.
In Battle Quest, Boulders first appear in Road to the Goron Mines, rolling down slopes. They are especially dangerous since they are packed with explosives. The explosives must be struck by the archer before reaching Links in order to avoid damage.

Does Anybody Here Remember Vera Lynn? (CBA & Lockout Discussion) XXVIII

I have an idea. Since the players are holding on to the delinked structure, I think the owners should play along. First, you tell them that in order to accept their delinked structure that they believe so strongly in, they want a minimum of 8 years CBA length.
Year 1: 1.8B + 1.75% raise = 1.91 B
Year 2: 1.91B +1.75% = 1.94B
Year 3. 1.94B + 1.75 = 1.97B
This is where the union says that that the league should reach a 50/50 split. Now have the union put up or shut up with their framework and projected numbers that they've stood behind for so long and claim to strongly believe in.
So those first three years are delinked. For every year that revenue growth doesn't equal 7.2% growth, the owners will recoup the difference in year 4 of the CBA where linkage comes back into play. By year 5, it goes straight to a 50/50 for the rest of the contract. So basically, year 4 is where the league potentially gets reimbursed for any shortcomings of the PA's projected numbers.
Year 1: Growth is 2.2% that means that the owners will add 5% to their already 50% in Year 4.
Year 2: Growth is 4.2% that means the owners will recoup another 3% in year 4.
Year 3: Growth is 6.2% that means the owners will recoup an additional % year 4.
Year 4: The collective difference would be 9% so in this year, the owners end up getting 59% while the players get 41%.
Year 5: League is all squared up from the PA's delinked structure and 50/50 is implemented for the remainder of the CBA contract.
Owners should challenge the players that if they want to change the status quo of linked salaries, they should burden the responsibility for their proposal because it's them that have faith in it, not the owners.
Just for kicks, I'd love to see their reaction to this. I don't think they'd go for it though, lol. Even if the players do agree to it, the owners stand to gain far more because that 7.2% is fixed and they must meet that condition. And the chances are that any repercussions of a lockout will be felt immediately after the lockout so if the owners agree to take the risk up front and give the players the potential rope to hang themselves with their delinked framework, then the owners will be recouping the difference at a point where revenues should be expected to be back up on the rise.

SUBJECT: Historic preservation makes sense, but does it make cents? New study tracks economic impacts for Nebraska.
The economic impact of historic preservation in Nebraska is being assessed by the nation's foremost consultants on the subject. Researchers from Rutgers University of New Jersey are applying a state-of-the-art economic model they pioneered to assess the dollars and cents that history contributes to Nebraska. The UNL Bureau of Business Research is collaborating on the study.
The statewide study has been commissioned by the Nebraska State Historical Society. It is being funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of the Interior. An advisory group of Nebraska officials representing economic development, tourism and real estate are guiding the study.
"Historic preservation makes good sense, and now we'll have the facts to demonstrate that," said Michael J. Smith, Director/CEO of the Nebraska State Historical Society and State Historic Preservation Officer. The study is one of the most detailed analyses of preservation's economic impacts in the nation, Smith noted, adding,"The results will be important in developing our priorities for local and statewide efforts in Nebraska."
Preservation tax incentives, property values in preserved neighborhoods, "main street" revitalization, and cultural tourism to historic sites and museums will figure in the research. The final report will be issued later in the fall.
