Lacrosse Leagues
Major League Lacrosse
The Major League Lacrosse is the primary lacrosse league in the United States and some parts of Canada . It is one of the large reasons that lacrosse is so rapidly expanding in North America . It was first started in 1999, but play first began in 2001. It was founded by Jake Steinfeld, the creator of "Body by Jake" fitness equipment. Dave Morrow is a previous All- American lacrosse player. He is also the president of Warrior Lacrosse.
The season starts in May and then ends in August. The teams include the Baltimore Bayhawks, Boston Cannons, Long Island Lizards, New Jersey Pride, Philadelphia Barrage and Rochester Rattlers. A Los Angeles team is also being added. Rumors that teams from San Francisco , Denver , and Chicago will be added have been circulating. There are 12 games played by each team during the season. However, this doesn't include the All-Star games and other competitions.
MLL has significantly changed the game from how it has been played in the past. A two point scoring line has been added 15 yards out from each goal. MLL has also introduced a 60 second shot clock. This only allows players 60 seconds in the attack area before they must take a shot on goal. Failure to do this will result in a turnover. They have also eliminated the restraining box and they set a limit of three long pole defenseman.
MLL has become more and more popular due to the large sponsorships and media deals that have introduced the game to more people. Companies like Anheuser-Busch, New Balance, Tommy Hilfiger and Warrior Lacrosse. There are also bigger sponsors like Cascade, Dick's Sporting Goods, Gatorade, Great Atlantic Lacrosse Company, Starbucks and Under Armour have become sponsors. These companies have helped lacrosse develop and become more popular by selling lacrosse products and spreading the name. The MLL continues to remain one of the largest lacrosse leagues and it is still growing and becoming more popular.
National League Lacrosse
The Nation League Lacrosse is very similar to Major League lacrosse. However, unlike the MLL, NLL is an indoor lacrosse league. Instead of playing outdoor, the NLL is played inside during the winter. It is a very popular league among North American lacrosse players.
The NLL rules are based off of the rules of box lacrosse, a game played in the early 1930's. Box lacrosse only allows for hollow wooden sticks, but indoor lacrosse allows hollow metal sticks. Also, contrary to box lacrosse, NLL is played during the winter, where box lacrosse was originally played in summer in Canada . The National Lacrosse League was formed when the Major Indoor Lacrosse League disbanded in 1997. Five teams from the MILL joined the newly formed NLL.
There currently 10 teams in the NLL. The teams are split into two divisions, the east and the west. Teams in the east include
In the west division the teams are the:
The NLL has also decided that the Ottawa Rebel are being bought and moved. They will become the Edmonton Rush. All of these teams compete to make it to the playoffs. The playoff teams then compete for the Champion's Cup, which is the championship of the NLL.
Paul and Gary Gaits led the Philadelphia Wings to the Championship in 1994. Les Bartley coached the Buffalo Bandits at the start of his career. He later coached the Toronto Rock. Gary Gait served as a player/coach for the Colorado Mammoth until the end of the 2005 season when he retired.
The National Lacrosse league has greatly influenced the game of lacrosse. It has provided a league where players can play all year 'round, and not be limited by the weather. It built off of the MILL and added on to the great lacrosse styles that it brought. With its unique mix between outdoor and box lacrosse, the NLL has become one of the most influential lacrosse leagues that has produced many of the stars we know today.
International Lacrosse Federation
The International Lacrosse Federation, though it is not as popular as the other leagues, plays a large role in lacrosse. It has a goal of spreading lacrosse throughout the world. It also plans to act as the primary governing body for all lacrosse. IFL is similar to a much younger version of FIFA, the soccer organization.
It began in 1972. The IFL was formed in an attempt to spread lacrosse around the world and to regulate rules and conduct of play across the world. There are 14 full member nations that support the IFL. These countries are Australia, Canada, Czech Republic, England, Germany; Ireland, Iroquois Nationals, Japan, Korea, New Zealand, Scotland, Sweden, United States, and, Wales. The IFL also has several affiliate members including Argentina , Denmark , Hong Kong , Finland , Italy , and Tonga .
The very first IFL Championship game was located in Melbourne , Australia , in 1974, which the United States won. The four years later, the US was overpowered in the championship game by Canada , though the US had beaten them earlier in the tourney. Since suffering the Canadian defeat, the United States has won ever year since then. They claimed the title in '82, '86, '90, '94, '98, and 2002. The next championship is scheduled for mid-June of 2006.
In May of 2003, indoor lacrosse was brought to an international level. In Ontario , the first indoor championship game was held. In the final, the Canadians beat out the Iroquois Nation.
In 2000, the International Lacrosse Development Committee became recognized as a joint committee of the ILF and the IFWLA. The committee coordinates assistance for developing both men's and women's lacrosse throughout the world. It continues to try to develop places like Argentina, Austria, China, Denmark, Finland, France, Hong Kong, Ireland, Italy, Korea, Lithuania, New Zealand, Netherlands, Poland, Singapore, Slovakia, Spain, Switzerland, and Tonga .

Jan. 31, 2013 faz2 | Topic: General and miscellaneous Discussion: Reclassifying Teams As coach of the Blue Chips (ex AA now AAA) the new rating system is flawed big time. Our team played in 9 tournaments this year,counting the TOC in feb. 2012 and Phoenix in 2012, in these tournaments we won the Midwest championships, we had one 60 AA team to beat to qualify for TOC, one 55 AA and one 55 AAA and in both cases we had the extra fielder plus we were informed that one of those teams would also qualify. Of the eight tournaments we did not win our best finish was 3rd, 90% of our roster has been the same for the past 6-7 years, this year our team hit 4 home runs (for the whole year) and one of those was an out because it was the second one in the same game. Does that sound like a resume of a 60 AAA team? Well good luck to all who have been moved up or down. |

Patients with HIV infection and psychiatric disorders are significantly less likely to discontinue highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) during the first and second years of treatment. A partial explanation for this may be the advantage of their mental health visits, suggests a new study. The researchers examined time to HAART discontinuation among a sample of 4,989 patients with HIV infection, who sought care at five outpatient HIV sites. About one-fourth were diagnosed with depressive disorder and 9 percent were diagnosed with a serious mental illness. During the first and second years of HIV therapy, patients with serious mental illness were significantly less likely to discontinue their HIV medications when compared with those without any psychiatric disorders. Those suffering from depression were significantly less to discontinue their HIV medications during the first year compared with those without any mental health disorders.
Having six or more mental health visits each year was also associated with significantly less likelihood of discontinuing HIV therapy compared with having no mental health visits among those with mental illness. The findings support ongoing and consistent mental health treatment for patients with HIV infection, particularly those suffering from various mental health disorders, note the researchers.
Their study was supported in part by a grant from the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (HS16097) to the Rutgers University Center for Research and Education on Mental Health Therapeutics (CERT). For more information on the CERTs program visit http://www.certs.hhs.gov.

Some time ago, Kay Callison interviewed me about Lost Son for a podcast. The finished podcast was a neatly edited version of a much longer conversation. Here follows the full discussion.
You've put out quite an impressive a body of work for your age, young man! Two large novels -- The Green Age of Asher Witherow and now Lost Son.
Thanks (chuckles).
Both of your novels have been written from history. Is that coincidence?
You know, that's kind of funny. I guess it is coincidence but I find myself drawn back to that same kind of thing in starting my 3rd novel now, a historical setting, late 19th century. This time it's my family's history, but it's the same experience of sifting through this material and finding the story in it, finding the narrative arc. And I don't know why I am so drawn to the 19th century. It might be partly that my reading life began with the great 19th century writers, American writers, Emerson and Thoreau. They were my first literary Gods.
When you were 14, your mother gave you a copy of Rainer Maria Rilke's Letters to a Young Poet, and that started you on a path to becoming a great fan of his work. But what brought you to write a novel about Rilke?
That was a driving question through the course of writing Lost Son, which was "why am I not writing a biography, and writing a novel instead?" One answer to that is just that I'm not an academic. But the more compelling answer to me, as a fiction writer, was that this life story seemed so rich with dramas and tensions and conflicts and relationships and these really incredibly inspiring moments that it was just ready made for a dramatic, complex narrative. Fiction can be so special and so moving, with the absolute immediacy and absolute intimacy that it creates, so the novel seemed a very suitable way to approach a life that was as special and complex and deeply human as Rilke's life is.
For instance, one of the first images that came to me was the young Rilke in the outfit of a girl. Something about that really haunted me, and I thought that would be a powerful image to put early in the novel. That aspect of his childhood truly fascinates me -- how it contributed to forming his sensibility; his extreme sensitivity, his lack of any protection in the world, and his total vulnerability to everything around him.
Rilke's father always blamed Rilke's mother for everything that went wrong with him, and yet Rilke seemed very devoted to her, as a little boy. When did his attitude change, and why?
I think the turning point came when Rilke was about ten years old. He was sent away to military academy and really left to his own devices among a whole host of boys all two years older, rough and tumble military family kids. Prior to that, Rilke had been raised as a girl, and his mother had inculcated this whole practice of responding to her in a very feminine, very obsequious way. It's true that in Europe at the time Rilke was being raised it was a pretty common practice for little sons to be raised as little daughters in terms of dress and fashion and even behavior, playing with dolls and what not. But in the context of his family, it was taken to a greater extreme, I think. Biographers speculate that the motivation for that was that Rilke's mother had lost a baby daughter a year before she gave birth to him and so she was seeking to fill some void.
Tell us about Lou Andreas Salome.
Rilke's relationship with Lou is really a major chord in this book and its an astonishing story. The year they met, 1897, she was a famous writer in Europe. She had written a biography of Nietzsche with whom she had had something of a romantic liaison that ended badly – for Nietzsche. Essentially she refused his advances, and the speculation was that his madness was partly a result of that. So she was this lady of letters, an accomplished writer, and already known to be the woman who had broken Nietzsche's heart. Later on, she befriended Freud and became one his first protégés.
The dynamic between Lou and Rilke and then the way their relationship transpired from 1897 basically to Rilke's death 30 years later starts with a tumultuous affair, during which she became to Rilke a surrogate mother, a sister, a spouse, and a muse, all at once. Then at a certain point she had to cut the cord, and -- as she saw it, for his own well being -- send him off on his own. He was sent reeling from that for a long time, and Lost Son really does seek to capture the enduring love that he felt for Lou, the sense that she was the unattainable romance of his life.
What is your take on her in terms of her relationship with Rilke? Do you see a certain amount of seduction/alienation behavior in it?
Oh! That's interesting! It was to some degree, I think. But things were complicated. She was 14 years older than he when they first had the affair; and she was married and he was essentiallyan obscure poor nobody, at 21 just trying to fulfill this sense of his destiny as a poet.
It depends on the reader, I guess, but you can read this novel and you can infer that.
Oh sure! Yes! And I like that aspect! I want the book to remain an open question in many regards; for readers to inhabit these relationships and come away thinking about them in various ways. But I've been very cautious not to come to a judgment like that, because, in the process of creating this novel, it seemed to me that an explicit sort of perspective like that might diminish the complexity of all the human conflicts that are happening in these relationships.
Now what do you make of Lou's condemnation of him to his wife, Clara? Lou visits Clara in 1907, long after their affair, and denounces Rilke as "an apostate father and husband," who anybody in their right mind would send the police after.
Right. That's a very odd moment in the Rilke-Lou relationship, because they hadn't been lovers for seven years but they'd been maintaining an avid and really personal correspondence for about a four year period, one of great sympathy and understanding and mutual respect. You wonder how deep her bond was and how much love she harbored for Rilke. And how that influenced this seemingly random attack, in 1907. Did it come from some old wound in her in never being able to fulfill what could possibly have been a great relationship? Because Lou and Rilke were in many ways destined to be together. In any case, she seems to have had some kind of epiphany or come to some place of feeling that she was entitled to judge Rilke, after finally meeting Clara without Rilke's being there, which I think was a real shock to Lou in some ways. They could relate to each other as the two women who were really the magnetic poles of Rilke's existence. He gravitated between Lou and Clara, Lou being the unattainable lover muse and Clara the wife, fellow worker, and fellow artist.
Who he has abandoned.
Right, Lou does make that charge. But I think its interesting how Clara responds at that moment. The relationship between Clara and Rilke so fascinates me because she always deeply respected Rilke's need for solitude even while sometimes urging him for greater intimacy. Their letters on the subject of their lives together when they're talking about how they'll manage to live together, or if they'll manage to live together, are full of this mutual understanding that's very moving. And after Lou made these accusations in 1907, and Clara was the one who came back and communicated all these charges to him, she says she couldn't defend him, but she
communicated the news in a way that was very tender. It was almost as if she didn't know what to make of it. She presented it to him as if to say "I didn't know what to tell Lou. I was surprised by this. What do you have to say?"
Do you have a sense from reading all the correspondence between Rilke and Clara as to whether or not this really was a mutual decision to live separately, so as to pursue their respective careers?
Well I know that she deeply respected his wishes, and that's clear in her letters. There's a real
sense of understanding between them in the correspondence. But at the same time it is interesting to look closely at her letters, particularly early on in their relationship during the time shortly after Worpspede [an artist's colony of sorts where they met and married], when their correspondence first took off. You get a sense that she is still defining herself as an artist, and she latches onto and responds to Rilke's ability to articulate his own artistic needs and requirements. And that answers a need in her to define those things for herself. So I think her sensibility of what it meant to be an artist and the importance of solitude and the importance of constant work was nurtured within the context of her developing relationship with Rilke.
The other intensely close and influential relationship on Rilke was with the sculptor, Auguste Rodin, and he too threw him out!
Right. Rilke first met Rodin in 1902. He had come to Paris to write a monograph about the sculptor's work, and Rodin became something of an idol for Rilke in his manner of working steadily and with this immense and powerful discipline that Rilke had not yet been able to attain in his own work. He quickly saw Rodin's example as the means by which he could one day rise to artistic greatness. So Rodin became a much admired figure in Rilke's life and very important to his personal development as a poet.
And then just turned on him. Which he had a habit of doing, apparently. How did Rilke react?
His immediate response was to write a letter to Rodin the very following day. The essence was: "I know you have done this because you have to protect yourself and protect your art. I will take that as an example; and the strength that you have shown in your own discipline and in your own self awareness as an artist is something I will seek to emulate." It was really a remarkable response and a very humble response.
Was that really the way Rilke felt, do you think?
It's really hard to know, and that's why he's an amazing figure for a novel. He is so wholly and entirely a poet that there's no other way to know him except through the things he created, and a major part of his body of work was his correspondence. He wrote more than 10,000 letters and he's creating himself as a poet in his letters, just as he is in his work. Beyond that, I think mostly he just felt disowned because he had just lost his own father, and Rodin was like a 2nd father. So he must have thought, "Oh my God, I'm a lost son again." [after losing Lou]. His life was just a series of events that orphaned him again and again and again. It's just amazing. And it began early on. First he was a girl. Then he was a military cadet, then he was a business school cadet, and then he was a law student. Then he was a husband, then he was a father, then he was a secretary [to Rodin] and then he became again a soldier [Rilke was drafted into the Austrian army at the age of 40].
And in there he also became a lover to his soul mate, Lou, with whom he felt like he had found "Home," only to be sent away. Another very important relationship in the novel is with Paula Modersohn-Becker, the painter. Did you bring that forward for the purpose of the novel, or was that friendship indeed as precious and important to him and to Clara as it seems in the novel?
Yes, it was just as important and precious as in the book. Rilke and Clara were friends with Paula from their time in Worpspede around 1900, and Clara and Paula had been friends prior to that. Later on in Paris in 1906 when Paula was there working, Rilke was deeply touched by her circumstances, how she had essentially left her husband against his wishes because she had this passionate belief that she had a destiny as a painter. Early on, Rilke and Paula didn't see eye to eye on the way he wanted to live, his need to be separate from his wife and daughter. But later on, after several years of marriage, she came to understand it and came to a place in her art, too, where she felt she could identify with that perspective.
Do you think Rilke blamed himself for not being there for Paula when she decided to go back to her husband?
I think the guilt that he did suffer over that is evident in the Requiem that he wrote for Paula two years later. It is one of his major poems, and it encapsulates all the driving conflicts of his own life – the idea of how strangely separate art and life can seem from one another sometimes, and the tension between this drive for artistic mastery and the resulting tragedy in one's personal life. It's all there in that poem.
Can you tell us how Lost Son was inspired by, or a response to, Rilke's big novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge?
Rilke's novel was largely autobiographical and the germinating notion for me in writing Lost Son was that he himself recognized all these complex dramas in his own life and novelized them to some degree. So why not just novelize the whole life? And in doing that, somehow pay homage to this amazing novel that he did write. So there are certain elements in Lost Son that are inspired directly by scenes that occur in The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. These were often scenes that actually occurred in Rilke's life, so I hope there is an interesting interplay between Rilke's created work and the life that produced it, and then this later novel created across this generational divide, based on Rilke's life and what he had created.
When I first read Lost Son I will confess that I couldn't imagine how you had so successfully described what the streets of Paris actually looked like and felt like and smelled like to Rilke when he first went there and what a shock to the senses it was to him. And then I learned about the photographer, Eugene Atget. Was finding Atget's photographs of that time in Paris a dramatic discovery for you?
Yes. It really blew my imagination open in terms of how to capture the Paris that Rilke knew. Atget was working at the same exact time in Paris that Rilke was living there and writing his novel, based on his own experiences in Paris. We have a photographic documentation in Atget of what Rilke was documenting in the poetic manner in The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. And sometimes you can hold the two bodies of work up next to each other and the parallels are just astounding. What's more, I found out that they were living in the same apartment building in Montparnasse, at exactly the same time!
Do you suppose they knew each other?
I don't know! That's an amazing sort of feast for the imagination. A whole other novel could be written about a speculative friendship between Atget and Rilke. And I've been surprised to learn that they haven't been discussed together much at all, that the connections and parallels between their two bodies of work haven't been studied more closely.
Did the photographs of Eugene Atget help you get to work on writing this novel?
They did, mainly in the structural sense. Prior to discovering these photographs, the book didn't start with Rilke's arrival in Paris, for instance. It took me quite a while to discover that that was the entrée to this book. And that came about through Atget's work. It enabled me to visualize the terrors that Paris caused Rilke, and to evoke how seeing all that squalor around him could send him reeling back into boyhood. And then we could find out about the relationships that had formed him and the unique traumatic experiences that had formed his sensibility as a poet.
Well it gave you a physical presence to work with, a real place.
I think that's a big thing for me as a writer. I'm finding it's really hard for me to work without a strong sense of place. I need a place that's kind of a driving character in the story. It helps me inhabit that world, and hopefully evoke it effectively.
So to do research you did travel for 10 weeks in Europe, and follow Rilke's life path?
I did. That was a ten week pilgrimage in 2001. We went to Prague and we went to Munich where he met Lou and we ended up in the Rhone valley of Switzerland where he lived at the tower of Muzot. We walked around it in the dark. It was a very eerie and vivid experience. Later, I went back to Paris for eight weeks to do more research with the papers and letters.
At the end the novel, the teller of the tale, your persona, walks up to Rilke's apartment in Munich where he spent those years right after World War I, and meets him on the street. Did you actually have a moment like that where you sensed his presence?
I did, actually, and it was a moment very similar to that one that's captured at the end of the book, in Munich, on that very street corner. There's a plaque on the house where he lived. It has his face on it and just a few words to the effect that the poet Rainer Maria Rilke lived here, in 1917. That was the first moment in 2001 in which I arrived at a place where Rilke had lived and spent a lot of time. It was my first experience of that feeling of living in a certain layer of time that somehow overlaps the layers of time that Rilke lived in that same place. It was a really powerful experience for me.
You have said that Lost Son was in some ways a letter sent to a ghost. What did you mean by that?
Saying it is a letter sent to a ghost is my way of highlighting the very personal nature of the novel. This is in no way a book that purports to be an authoritative portrait of Rilke. Writing a book about a figure like Rilke can only be a personal process, because someone like him, a poet so much larger than life, who's become a figure of great legend, gets subjected to a force that the generations who try to understand his work exert upon him. He is turned into a spokesman, I guess, for a certain way of life or a certain artistic manner. That in turn creates something of a two camp situation where he's either adored as a saint [of poetry] or he's reviled as a profligate husband and father who failed to live up to his duties. The truth is probably neither of those things. It's always a more deeply human, a much more complex situation than that. So really the only way to approach his story is in a very personal manner.
Can you give your take on the aesthetic that Rilke was studying with Lou and took for himself, the "thing form," the ding-gedicht? Is that akin to what his contemporary, the great American poet William Carlos Williams, said: "No ideas but in things?"
Absolutely, and I think there's also a parallel in T. S. Eliot's idea of the objective correlative, of tying, somehow using an object or a thing to express the secrets of our own inner selves, all of our unfathomable conflicted feelings and emotions. Somehow when you focus your artistic attention on a "thing" and seek to create it as wholly as possible through some artistic discipline, in Rilke's case, poetry, just by looking at a thing and rendering it, you can plumb pretty deeply a lot of human mysteries.
Right, you generate the higher idea.
Yes, so its not so much about explicitly exploring an emotion on a page as it is about exploring a thing and seeing what that draws out in him. That's another thing that I love about Rilke! His sense of living in this world that is just teeming with things. As human beings it's all we have, really. We are these souls walking around in a world of objects and things and so how can we not have an incredibly intimate relationship to those things and how can they not tell us a great deal about ourselves.
And it would seem that you've carried that same aesthetic into both of your novels.
Oh really? I'm flattered to hear that.
The finished novel, Lost Son, is your exploration of the "thing" of Rilke's life and the times and places he lived in, especially Paris, and I can only imagine what a watershed those photos of Atget's must have been for you.
Yes, that's a perfect example of what we are talking about. And that's funny that you bring up William Carlos Williams, who was a physician, because Rilke always had this joke that started when he was with Lou. He would say well, if it gets to be that my poetry is basically destroying me because of what it puts me through, you know, I'll become a country doctor somewhere. And he came back to that constantly in his life, in his darkest periods. He would joke to himself, or he would joke to a friend in letters, maybe it's time to give up poetry and move to a small village and become a country doctor. It was like a fantasy that he held out for himself.
If a reader were to ask you what one important thing you would want him or her to take away from reading Lost Son, what would that be?
I love this quote by Lee Siegel that I use as an epigraph at the opening of the novel. It states the driving spirit of Lost Son: "We must understand one another or die. And we will never understand one another if we cannot understand the famous dead, those fragments of the past who sit half buried and gesturing to us on memory's contested shores." When we inherit these legendary poet figures and we're given their work and their lives, we can take them and try our best to interpret and understand them. But it remains a fact that there are going to be really complex, ultimately unanswerable questions raised by that work and that life. There's a real value in dwelling upon this kind of life and exploring the questions that it raises, and exploring the tensions within the life and the conflicts that were created within the life. It somehow helps our own humanity become something more expansive, more empathetic, when we can explore those things.

Lou Salome
Just to say that I have taken up where you left off and written a novel, Vienna Triangle, about Lou's love affair with Viktor Tausk in 1913 and her beginning relationship with Freud. Needless to say it didn't end well for Tausk. If you live in the bay area send me your snail mail address.I'd love to invite you to my reading and book party. email@example.com (or redroom)
I really enjoyed your interview and have ordered your book.

About the Film Company of Ireland
Film Company of Ireland was established 5 years ago by me, Thady Kavanagh. Gathering all my skills learned from working on short films and music videos I decided to apply them to bring a modern style to Irish Wedding DVDs.
Wedding DVDs are often feared by most couples. However if you get the right camera person then there is nothing to be worried about. Using my experience I have developed a style on the day where you will barely notice me. I work around everything you do instead of getting you to perform in front of the camera.
Of course I use the best HD cameras and radio mics to ensure the quality of the picture and sound is the best achievable on your wedding day. However I have looked beyond just the DVD now. My packages include a mobile phone highlights video on the night of the wedding, an online clip which can be posted on Facebook and a digital photo frame with stills from the DVD.
I have also just launched the home cinema kit which means you can host a great night in with family and friends or watch it on the big screen just for yourselves.
Please contact me now to arrange a meeting or to request a sample DVD.

Self-recognition of disordered eating among women with bulimic-type eating disorders: a community-based study
Mond, Jonathan, Hay, Phillipa, Rodgers, Bryan, and Owen, Cathy (2006) Self-recognition of disordered eating among women with bulimic-type eating disorders: a community-based study. International Journal of Eating Disorders , 39 (8). pp. 747-753.
PDF (Published Version) - Repository staff only - Requires a PDF viewer such as GSview, Xpdf or Adobe Acrobat Reader 123Kb |
DOI: 10.1002/eat.20306
View at Publisher Website: http://dx.doi.org/10.1002/eat.20306
Objective: Self-recognition of eating-disordered behavior was examined in a community sample of young adult women (n = 158) with bulimic eating disorders.
Method: A vignette was presented describing a fictional person meeting diagnostic criteria for bulimia nervosa. Participants were asked whether they might currently have a problem such as the one described. Scores on measures of eating disorder psychopathology, functional impairment and general psychological distress were compared between participants who recognized a problem with their eating and those who did not.
Results: Participants who recognized a problem with their eating (n = 86, 51.9%) had higher levels of eating disorder psychopathology and general psychological distress, were more likely to engage in self-induced vomiting, and tended to be heavier, than those who did not (n = 72, 48.1%). In addition, participants who recognized a problem were more likely to have received treatment for an eating or weight problem. In multivariate analysis, the occurrence of self-induced vomiting and higher body weight were the only variables significantly associated with recognition.
Conclusion: Poor recognition of eating-disordered behavior may be conducive to low or inappropriate treatment seeking among individuals with bulimic- type eating disorders. The perception that only disorders involving self-induced vomiting are pathological may need to be addressed in prevention programs.

- The Bull Basin Trail starts at a trailhead located off FR 90A. Ascending Kendrick Mountain's north slope, it switch backs up to a large meadow. The trail then turns south along a rocky ridge to a flat area where there is a spring, and on to the old Kendrick Lookout Cabin. That one room log structure, built in the early 1900s, is on the National Register of Historic Places. Be sure to go up to the lookout to enjoy the view. The two springs along the trail are not reliable and not recommended for drinking.
The lower section of Bull Basin Trail follows some old logging roads (now closed to vehicles) and then merges with the Connector Trail, which branches off to the west. Bull Basin proceeds east, passing a small meadow. About 1/4 mile beyond the meadow the trail begins a steep ascent. It then curves south at another large meadow near the top of Kendrick Mountain, passing a spring before reaching the old Kendrick Lookout Cabin. The trail is generally well marked. The old cabin can be used by visitors, but please leave it in good shape for the next person or even you, when you come back again. Most of the trail is within the Kendrick Mountain Wilderness.
Directions from Williams: Take I-40 east to the Parks Exit (#178). Turn left across the overpass, take a left at the "T" intersection and turn right at the Parks store onto FR 141. Continue north on FR 141 for about 11 miles to FR 144. Follow FR 144 about 6 miles and turn right on FR 90. Go about 5 miles to FR 90A, and follow this to the trailhead near some private land.Paved road, all-weather graveled road, suitable for passenger vehicles only when dry. The last few miles of unsurfaced road suitable for high clearance vehicles only.

Ed's update Monday 9 January 2012: The shortlist for the Awards has been announced. Full details of the shortlist are here - PM.
Today sees the launch of the BBC Audio Drama Awards. The awards aim to celebrate and recognise the cultural importance of audio drama, on air and online, and to give recognition to the actors, writers, producers, sound designers, and others who work in the genre.
You can find out more about the BBC Audio Drama Awards by downloading the press release.
You can download a copy of the rules and the entry form for the BBC Audio Drama Awards.
Paul Murphy is the editor of the BBC Radio blog
The short-listed entries will be announced on Monday 9 January 2012 and the winners announced at a ceremony to be held on Sunday 29 January 2012 in the Radio Theatre at BBC Broadcasting House, London.
All posts are reactively-moderated and must obey the house rules.
This is a great idea, I'd like to get some clarification on one line of the rules though. "first broadcast in English in the UK between 1 October 2010 and 30 September 2011 or first uploaded/published for free listening online in the UK" Does this mean non UK shows in English, provided over the internet and available in the UK can be entered ? (e.g. shows produced in the US, Canada, Australia etc)
Hello M Hudson
I've checked with the appropriate authorities and you're correct. As long as online programmes are in English and freely available in the UK and meet the date requirement the originating country doesn't matter.
Many thanks

'Micro-farm' at Tyldesley allotments to give youngsters training in horticulture (From The Bolton News)
'Micro-farm' at Tyldesley allotments to give youngsters training in horticulture
9:04am Friday 18th October 2013 in News
A FARM is being started to help young people gain experience and provide needy families with fresh produce.
Groundwork's Green Energiser Team is building a 'micro-farm' at Tyldesley Allotments to provide 16 to 18-year-olds not in education, employment or training (NEET) a City and Guilds level one in practical horticulture.
The produce from the farm will be donated to Grow for Giving and will allow the charitable food bank — which provides fresh produce for people in need across the local area — to expand significantly.
Nathan Green, aged 17, said: "I have had a lot of issues with drugs that have caused problems with my family and my school life, I attended several schools all of which I have been excluded from.
"Now I feel like I am getting my life back on track, I see the Green Energisers course as a way to focus my energy, gain skills and make a difference. I am proud to be part of the project as it will help many others in the community who are really struggling at the moment."
Groundwork provides training for young people who are interested in gardening or landscaping and many have gone on to gain apprenticeships with tree surgeons or landscaping companies.
The team is funded through a partnership with Rathbone training and the Groundwork Trust, while Harry Fairclough's has provided materials.
There are still a couple of places left on the course. Contact Liam on firstname.lastname@example.com or 07739 952229 or contact Tyldesley Allotment Society to volunteer for Grow for Giving.

@evildictaitor: My 1080p playback is from blu-ray discs, so, no I'm not typically doing anything else at the same time (unless WMC decides to update the guide listings or MSE decides to do a malware scan). Without hardware decoding, my HTPC would be unable to play blu-ray discs without dropping frames (I've tried it, since PowerDVD enables a lot of extra filter options if I use software decoding).
I don't see how multiple streams, adaptive streams, or DRM has anything to do with video decompression. I agree that MS should concentrate on the software side. It's up to the hardware makers to support this software with hardware.

SOURCE HY Connect
MILWAUKEE, Sept. 17, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Integrative Therapeutics, a leading manufacturer and distributor of science-based nutritional supplements based in Green Bay, Wis., has selected HY Connect, an independent marketing and communications firm, to lead their rebranding as the organization takes steps to help healthcare professionals cultivate healthy practices and deliver improved patient health. Logo and website development as well as product packaging and collateral materials are all part of the rebrand.
"This brand evolution is all about advancing the field of integrative medicine by helping practitioners do more of what they want and less of what they don't," said Integrative Therapeutics Vice President Mandy Kraynik. "With the help of HY Connect we are serving our customers and the greater integrative medicine community in more tangible and meaningful ways."
At the core of the rebranding is the introduction of the integral symbol in the company's new logo. "In calculus, the integral brings all the elements of a formula together," explains Mark Catterson, Executive Creative Director at HY Connect. "For Integrative Therapeutics, the integral signifies the union of science and nature."
Integrative's new website, integrativepro.com, was designed to provide healthcare professionals with the ingredient and product information and professional resources they need to make informed decisions about their patients and their practice. The clean, easy-to-navigate infrastructure is comprised of two primary areas-products and resources. The intuitive design allows for easier product searching, including the option to filter by common dietary sensitivities or preferred form, accounting for unique patient needs. The new site is responsive, meaning its functionality was built to be accessed across all digital platforms, including tablets and mobile devices.
New product packaging and collateral materials, designed to appeal to practitioners and patients, begin rolling out this fall.
HY Connect
HY Connect (pronounced H.Y. Connect) is one of the leading independent marketing and communications agencies in the country. The agency has full service offices in Chicago and Milwaukee offering advertising, digital strategy and development, earned and social media, media planning and buying and more. HY Connect's metrics driven approach has contributed to significant agency growth. With $155 million in annualized billings and more than 150 employees, the agency has doubled in the past four years.

In the fifth installment of the Wrong Turn franchise, a small West Virginia town is hosting the legendary Mountain Man Festival on Halloween, where throngs of costumed party goers gather for a wild night of music and mischief. But an inbred family of hillbilly cannibals kill the fun when they trick and treat themselves to a group of visiting college students.
Special Features:
- A Day in the Death clip
- Hillbilly Kills clip
- Director's die-aries
- Audio commentary by Declan O'Brien
All you have to do to be in with a chance of winning (presuming that you're a resident of the UK or Ireland) is to email our special competition email address with the answer to the following question:
Who played Jessie Burlingame in the original Wrong Turn movie?
A) Eliza Dushku
B) Sarah Michelle Gellar
C) Mark Ruffalo
We'll pick winners on February 28th!
And if that isn't enough for you, check out Twentieth Century Fox's special SPLAT HAPPENS webapp that invites you to guess what happens next in some gloriously twisted scenes from the movie.
Good luck, Forbidden Planeteers! And pray you don't take a wrong turn this weekend…

Israeli Knesset members and diplomats have a long-term grudge against the CBS flagship program, "60 Minutes", over several critical reports that deal with the issues of Jewish settlements, the City of David and the Stuxnet computer worm. But Suday's segment of the program, dedicated to the exodus of the Palestinian Christians from cities like Bethlehem and Jerusalem, seemed to bring about record tensions.
In that episode, veteran reporter Bob Simon scolded Israel's Ambassador to the United States Michael Oren for his attempt to influence the segment by calling top CBS officials, saying that had never happened to him before a segment was actually broadcasted. "There is always a first time," Oren replied calmly, but throughout the interview he looked visibly annoyed. "I do it as representative of the state of Israel. I do it infrequently," he explained.
Reactions to the segment over the blogosphere varied widely - from praises to Simon that "exposed the way the Israeli government tries to silence everybody" - to complaints about the "biased story." That was basically the Ambassador's claim - that Israel is not to blame for this exodus and that the persecution of Christians in other Middle Eastern countries should be more concerning.
At the Israeli Embassy, the final report was seen as sort of diplomatic victory, and the ambassador's attempt to intervene was presented as a fine example of a pro-active approach to Israeli diplomacy. "The relationship between Israel and the Christian world is our strategic interest and when we received information about this report several months ago and plans for broadcasting without any reaction by Israeli officials, Ambassador Oren did what a diplomat is supposed to do to prevent serious damage to the country he represents," a senior Israeli diplomat told Haaretz.
"What we asked to do is to comment on it, and also recommended they talk to other Christian officials. As far as we know, they didn't talk to them, but the result is still not as bad as it could have been without any Israeli reaction," said the official. "The final result was just a biased report touching on several familiar issues that should be resolved between Israel and the Palestinians. But this had the potential to become akin to a strategic explosion. We worked in close cooperation with the Foreign Affairs Ministry and other government offices. It's an ambassador's responsibility to act vigorously to prevent damage to Israel and its relations with one of the most important communities."
Shrinking Christian population in the Palestinian territories is a long-time and painful fact. Before coming to Washington as a Haaretz correspondent, I used to visit Palestinian Christians in Bethlehem, Ramallah, the village of Taybeh and East Jerusalem. Some of the Palestinian specialists were happy to speak in Russian - they received their education in the Soviet Union. Nobody was happy about the security situation, especially during the Intifada years, or the Israeli occupation.
But many of them also had complaints about some of their Muslim neighbors. Some businessmen said they were forced out of business by local thugs. But they requested I keep that part off the record, out of concerned for the security of their families.
There was no big risk complaining about the Israeli occupation. Living in the shade of the security fence certainly feels bad, but as their fellow Christians living in neighboring countries could probably witness - on the record - it might not be the only reason behind the exodus. It might also be interesting to see how many Christians left since the establishment of the Palestinian Authority, since Hamas took over the Gaza Strip and since Israelis left certain areas.
The Israeli government (like pretty much any government) does make stupid decisions from time to time (such as proclaiming Gunter Grass persona non grata). But in this case, given the sensitivity of the issue, it cannot be blamed for trying to minimize the damage. Michael Oren probably should have tried to work with the reporter instead of driving him mad by going over his head to complain to his bosses. I am not convinced Oren was the first one to attempt to influence the 60 Minutes report before it was broadcasted - my experience tells me otherwise – for people do tend to try to influence unflattering reports before they are published or broadcasted quite often.

"The relationship between Israel and the Christian world is our strategic interest ..."
Keyword is relationship, and not friendship. Hell, enemies have a relationship, but their strategic goal is something different.
lol, does it not seem like Israel is a large part of all the problems over there? And even abroad for that matter. They are religious extremists, they just happened to have moved past the stone age. They could even be considered more stubborn than most extremists. What is More..Posted Apr-23-2012 By

If the obama administration is justified in constantly trying to influence the media, then why can't Israel? OH, I forgot, Israel should just lay down all their weapons and be annihilated. Keep dreamin' Bunky.

When a news organization leaves the arena of journalistic reporting, and enters the arena of activism and public relations for a cause, you have to expect some sort of reaction.

So, anyone who has read my blog for any considerable length of time would have known that we are Disney pin collectors. We try to attend Disney pin events at WDW, and also our monthly Windy City Pin Traders here in the Chicagoland area. I've also posted pictures on how we're displaying our pin collection, so that we get to see them regularly, rather than having them in storage or in a book where they can't be appreciated.
So we have them in frames..... A LOT of frames! And one of the drawbacks of having this many pins is that you tend to forget what pins you already have! So while we were framing them, we decided to also take pictures of each frames so that we have a record of the pins that we have. This is the pictures of the first set of pins. We collect Donald Duck and, to a lesser extent, other Disney ducks pins. Donald pins certainly represent the largest single-themed collection that we have. So in these pictures are all the Donald/Ducks pins that we have.

I have used several tools to do this workflow after taking digital photographs:
Connect camera to computer Transfer files to a directory Rotate pictures by EXIF orientation information (saved by the camera) Rename pictures by EXIF creation date. Sort pictures to subfolders by date. Since I didn't find a single tool to do all this I naturally decided to make my own tool :-)
FlickFleck will enable you to transfer jpg photos from your digicam memory card. These files will be renamed and lossless rotated according to the EXIF information. You can contact developer at: flickfleck(at)gmail.com

Badgersett Research Corporation:
Woody Agriculture research and development
With roots going back to 1978, Badgersett Research Corporation works on bringing "Woody Agriculture" into the mainstream world of full scale staple food production. Besides selling the nuts we grow, we breed and sell seedlings of hybrid hazelnuts and hybrid chestnuts, and we are involved in all aspects of commercializing these crops, from developing machinery and harvest procedures to consumer products and marketing.
Come join us on Saturday, August 17; there is much to see, as always. There are three acres of hazel tubelings we just put in on the back hill in July, right next door to the field of hickory-pecans that's starting to come into actual production, currently being mowed by the sheep. Our hazels have another very serious crop set this year; it's running late from the cold and wet, but it's still on its way. Come and see a little bit of what they can do!
Check the Badgersett Growers' Blog for the most recent updates
Information about Woody Agriculture and our hybrid hazelnuts & chestnuts
Start here if you're new to Badgersett for information about who we are and what we do.

We sell several varieties of our own delicious, homegrown, pesticide- and herbicide-free nuts. Harvest is in late summer and early fall, and nuts sell out very soon thereafter. If you want to spend your holidays roasting chestnuts over an open fire while munching on fresh hazelnut cookies, place your orders early, as we usually sell out!
You've read the info and given it some thought (and perhaps sampled some of our nuts), and you'd like put in your own plants. Our hazel plants sell out quickly, so place your orders far in advance of the next planting season, and allow substitutes for the best options.

Their Retail sector is quite strong and managed well. Recently, the supervisor of investment banking and retail, Donald Layton, was named the CEO. Layton seems like the perfect fix to improve the investment banking side, which seems to be in need of some fix.
Moreover, by moving into the online retail banking industry E*Trade can attract assets through checking, savings and money market accounts. These accounts could increase assets in ways that non-retail banking competitors cannot.
E*Trade has one of the (if not the) strongest brands in the online discount broker space. On top of their strong brand is one of the best trading platforms available online. Behind the brand and the platform, is an extremely profitable retail business model, where E*Trade makes money in both bull and bear markets. Once the investment side is all cleaned up, it's smooth sailing for E*Trade. Furthermore, Net revenues have been growing annually at a solid 12% pace since 2003.
A few weeks ago, E*Trade's largest shareholder, Citadel Investment Group, scrapped plans to start unwinding its position. The move suggests a deal is in the works. Why else would the firm have such a sudden change of heart?
The rumor mill continues to heat up about the possibility of deal. And a strong uptick in call options trading adds credibility to the rumors. In fact, a Yale University study confirms that heavy spikes in options trading precede takeover announcements.
Most compelling of all, TD Ameritrade CEO, Fredric J. Tomczyk, said on Monday that he expects more consolidation to come in the industry.
Since his company is one of the most obvious buyers, he could be foreshadowing a deal. And at such an attractive price, E*Trade represents a risk worth taking for him… and us.
Bottom line: With the real estate risks subsiding, a takeover offer could come any day now for E*Trade. And if you don't buy shares today, you might not get another chance[1].
You have to give a lot of credit to the marketing department for making trading cool to the younger folk.
Similar to SIRI, the crash of the stock market, brought on legitimate worries for investments in companies with questionable debt loads. E-Trade's numbers were far superior to the original analyst predictions. If one has the bravery to take on a company with a great product, but not so great finiacial records; they may realize while counting their profits, that Consumers in an area such as personal investments can research and find companies, which have suffered due to financial panic, and therefore may ride them back to their correct position in the Market
E*Trade's shift towards asset-based revenue streams will remove some of the volatility associated with the commissions-based revenues that arise through general market swings.
Analyst have speculated a possible acquisition of the ailing brokerage E*Trade by Schwab for approximately $24 per share. Although speculation of an acquisition of E*Trade has been going on for the past 10 years, stronger rumors have recently resurfaced with an estimated 60% premium over the current price.
E*Trade's share price was boosted by the Standard & Poor's upgrade of its debt ratings. Although the ratings are still considered speculative grade, the S&P raised the long term rating on E*Trade's holding company to CCC+ from CCC and on E*Trade's bank subsidiary to B from B-. Such upgrades reflect an improved financial condition for the company.
E*Trade recent appointment of Robert Druskin as its new interim CEO has helped to fuel rumors on the possible buyout of the company for a few key reasons.
First, E*Trade appointed an outsider rather than an insider. This could either be because E*Trade sees an inevitable sale, so there's no need to appoint an outsider to take this company on a new direction or potential outside candidates refused to take the position because they see an inevitable sale in E*Trade's future.
Second, E*Trade announcement of its interim CEO was made before the retirement of its former CEO Don Layton in order to avoid any damage the brokerage's credibility and share price would experience if the company appeared to lack clear leadership.
Third, Druskin was labeled the "interim" CEO, meaning that either E*Trade is still looking for a suitable permanent CEO or it's preparing to be acquired.
Lets face it a lot of things are about promotion and making a name stick in the minds of people and as far as these online investment companies go E-trade is one that comes to mind right away, because of those crazy, cute baby commercials.
Not that these bankers actually know any more than the rest of us, but the ETFC CEO, who was Vice Chair of JP Morgan, requested that all of his 2008 and 2009 incentive compensation for ETFC be in the form of equity. Whether he is right or wrong in this case is yet to be seen, but you can be certain he has better insight into the company than anybody here, has 30 years in banking, and has proven he knows how to make himself rich.
On one hand, equity-based compensation can be lauded as selfless and benevolent behavior toward a cash-strapped company down on its sub-prime luck. But on the other hand, I see it as someone acting exactly in line with market incentives. If he interpreted the risks correctly, I reckon he stands to make many tens of millions (and have a hero's legacy) if he does his job right, and that's far more than any salary they could give him. Steve Jobs showed up at a company a few years back and did something similar, I believe.
Think of what it would take for you to show up at a 20-yr-old beleaguered company and, after looking through their books and talking to all your expert colleagues and advisors, decide to bookend your long and notable career by working around the clock for two straight years for no salary when you are already wealthy.
Looking forward earnings-wise, the average quarterly earnings estimate for ETFC's June '08 quarter is presently calling for a loss of about $0.12 per share. While the estimates are in a wide range, the firm has stabilized its losses and axed what they needed to ax, and within the next six months there will be some good news here as the firm focuses on executing in their core niche - online trading. Next year, the full year of 2009, this company is expected to earn right around $0.11 per share, according to the 14 analysts who cover the firm. Revenues are expected to grow from $1.45 billion this year, to over $1.7 billion next year, a gain of over 19%. The metrics look good, especially as this firm focuses on its core business.
Implied volatilities in the options on ETFC remain elevated as a result of that downswing, and today you can sell the January 2009 $5 call options for a tidy $0.70 (mid-range of the current bid/ask). On a "static" basis, if the shares of ETFC don't move from the $4 level, that $0.70 premium would yield you 17.5% on a $4 stock between today and January '09's expiration. If you're called away at $5, you would gain the $1 appreciation, plus the $0.70 premium, for an "if called" yield of over 42%.
As of March 06, 2008; E*Trade home equity loans hold up to $12B (which will probably drop in value), the book value is $6.12 / share. When the share price is at $4.02 (as of the same day), this tells me that the price of further write downs are already priced into the stock, giving you some buffer room when that news hits the fan.
