Most healthcare organizations are prohibited from hiring persons who have been convicted of certain criminal acts (For a list of crimes under this category refer to BARRIER CRIMES, Code of Virginia 63.2-1726 @ http://hope-tfc.org/FP/Barrier%20Crimes.pdf). Students with convictions or positive drug tests will be prohibited from clinical practice and will not be able to complete the program requirements.
2. Additional annual immunization requirements: Flu immunizations are required by most healthcare agencies and are usually available in fall semester.
Physical demands: Program activities include duties that frequently require squatting, bending, kneeling, reaching, and stair climbing; lifting and carrying up to 50 pounds; frequent pushing and pulling up to 200 pounds with assistance; occasional lifting up to 200 pounds with assistance and occasional carrying up to 51-74 pounds. Duties also require constant use of acute sense of sight, hearing, touch, and speech. Environmental conditions include procedures that involve handling blood and body fluids using universal precautions.
Course Requirements: The student is required to complete a sequence of courses and learning experiences provided at the college and selected community agencies such as hospitals, nursing homes, clinics, physicians' offices and comparable facilities. The nursing faculty will observe and evaluate the student's suitability for nursing and direct patient care.
Most previous general education college credits will be accepted regardless of completion date; however, anatomy and physiology and the computer technology requirements will not be accepted if completed more than 10 years prior to admission to the nursing program. MTH 126 must be completed within five (5) years of admission to the nursing program. CPR certification must be maintained throughout the program.
Students must complete all courses listed in the first year of the curriculum before being allowed to enter the second year. Exceptions due to unusual circumstances must be approved by the program Dean.
A student must have a "C" or above in theory plus "satisfactory" in clinical performance in all nursing courses to remain in the program. A grade of "C" or above in any related requirements is a prerequisite for continuing in the nursing program.
The nursing program faculty reserves the right to recommend, through appropriate channels, the withdrawal of any student who does not exhibit suitable demeanor/attendance.
Program Progression: Students must earn a minimum grade of "C" in all required courses and maintain a minimum cumulative GPA of 2.0 to remain eligible for continued enrollment in the nursing program. In addition, during the NUR 105 or NUR 115 course, a Comprehensive Drug Calculation Exam (CDCE) will be administered to verify skills. Students must achieve at least 90 percent of maximum score on the CDCE with no more than three attempts in order to achieve a passing grade in the course. Any student who earns a final grade lower than a "C" in a required course (either general education or nursing courses) must repeat the course and earn a final grade of "C" or better before taking the next course in the sequence.
A student must obtain permission from the Dean of VATNP to continue in the Nursing Program under the following conditions:
1. Repeating a course with a grade below "C"
2. Withdrawal from a nursing course
3. Cumulative GPA below 2.0.
Reapplication/Readmission Requirements: Students who are not successful in any first semester nursing course (NUR 105, 108, or 115) must reapply to the nursing program. A new nursing program application packet must be submitted prior to the application deadline.
A student who wishes to reenter the nursing curriculum at any other level (e.g., NUR 109, 136, 137,195,201, 205, 226, 236, 208, 245, 237, or 254) must write a letter to the program dean requesting readmission in the semester prior to the semester of enrollment. Re-enrollment must occur no later than three years or student will have to repeat all nursing courses. The student may be required to enroll in and satisfactorily complete specific courses before readmission. Additional data may be required. Each student's application for readmission will be considered by the nursing faculty and the decision to readmit will be based on additional data, prior performance in the nursing program, and space availability.
Based on the course(s) that must be repeated, the student who is readmitted may be required to complete a skills competency course before progressing to the next level.
A student who has withdrawn because of academic failure may not reenroll in the nursing curriculum more than one time. Such a student may not be readmitted if the cumulative grade point average is less than 2.0, including all courses attempted other than nursing.
According to the VCCS Policy 5.7.4 "A student will normally be limited to two enrollments in the same credit course." Any exception to this policy must be approved by the program dean and the vice president of instruction and student services.
Financial Requirements: In addition to the usual college tuition and fees, the nursing program requires uniforms with accessories, textbooks, progressive testing and remediation program, physical exam, immunizations, Mantoux Tuberculin Skin Test or chest x-ray, a background check, drug screen, and medical document package, CPR Certification, and HIPAA Certification.
Students are also responsible for transportation to and from the College and health agencies used for clinical experiences.
Clinical Contracts: The VATNP has contracts with clinical agencies for both student and patient safety. If students cannot comply with these contractual requirements, they will not be able to participate in clinical activities and will be asked to withdraw from the program. General guidelines follow:
1. Clinical agencies reserve the right to dismiss a student from their agency at any time with due cause. This will be done with advance notice except in an emergency.
2. Published policies of the clinical agency must be followed. Each student must successfully complete an orientation program prior to participating in activities at any clinical facility.
3. Clinical facilities require that all students have documentation of ability to perform the physical demands required in direct patient care activities.
4. Immunizations must be current.
5. Student releases clinical agencies, its agents and employees from any liability for any injury or death to himself or damage to his property arising out of agreement or use of the clinical agencies.
6. Proof of HIPAA and CPR Certification must be provided.
7. Clinical facilities require a criminal background check and drug screen clearance as a condition for student placement.
Proper uniform must be worn when participating in clinical activities.

The symptoms of metastatic and recurrent breast cancer depend on how much the cancer has spread. Some women have symptoms, but many women don't.
Cancer that recurs in the same breast or in your mastectomy scar is called a local recurrence. With local recurrence, you may have symptoms such as:
Cancer that recurs in another part of your body, such as your lungs, is called distant recurrence. With distant recurrence, you may have some of the same symptoms as metastatic breast cancer.
Symptoms of metastatic breast cancer will depend on the area affected and how far your breast cancer has spread. For example:
Symptoms such as changes in the skin of the breast or the nipple may be a sign of inflammatory breast cancer . For more information, see the topic Inflammatory Breast Cancer.

And on another note now that we know that ichigos mom last name was kurosaki we know shes not directly related(sister) to the Uryuu or Ryuken, unless Ryuken also took his wifes last name lol i doubt that.
True haters.... have you read this trash from the beginning? Explain the greatness of Yama... you can't can you? How about the overall weakness of the Arrancar, the dumbness of the Quincies falling from the sky with unfathomable power, over everything on the board? The purpose of the dumb ass Fullbringers, or were you a big fan of the Doll House Broad, or the Dirty Boots Bitch? How about how Kubo just kicked his own shit to the curb, offers no anime, dumbbed his own manga down. He mixes plots, and characters like a 7th grader preparing for his first Science Fair, with a lot of equipment, toys, but no goals that amount to much of anything. Or you must be a Unohana Fan, and are upset that I've outted her lack of greatness. Understand, in the grand scheme of things, Orihime has fought, and healed more, than someone supposedly in the top 10 of all in the manga, including the Soul King, and the 4 Clowns that guard him.
Btw as someone that has been working on my own manga for quite some time, I do have not only a 'fans' opinion, but also a manga creator. All don't have to march by the same beat, follow the same themes, but those who have actually spent time in creating characters, and plots, we can tell when the author has 'thrown in the towel', or 'is pulling shit out of his ass to get by'.
Just a Badass Crew...
"Why, Mr. Kyf? Why do you do it? Why get up? Why keep fighting? Do you believe you're fighting FOR something? For more than your Characters survival? Can you tell me what IT is? Do you even know? Is IT freedom? Or truth? Perhaps peace? Yes? No? Could it be for love? Illusions, Mr. Kyf. Vagaries of perception. The temporary constructs of a feeble human intellect trying desperately to justify a shinobi that is without meaning or purpose. And all of them as artificial as the Matrix itself, although only a human mind could invent something as insipid as love. You must be able to see it, Mr. Kyf. You must know it by now. You can't win. It's pointless to keep fighting. Why, Mr. Kyf? Why? Why do you persist?"
I speak 4 languages...
English, Profanity, Sarcasm, and Real Shit.

About the Faith
Our Faith is based on Jesus Christ, who in many ways revealed to us the Father, the Creator of all, and the Lord God of the Universe. Jesus showed us that we are not just part of this evolving creation, but loved by God. We are expected to live in a relationship of love and joy with the Father, for the Father loves us, and wants us to be part of His purpose for this Universe. He has given us the freedom to love, to live in His presence, and in a relationship of love with all others.
We however, because of selfishness, have turned away from the Father, desiring only our own will, when we want it, no matter how much it may hurt others or the creation. This is called sin, and it is a rejection of the love of God. God in His love allows us to be as selfish as we wish, but not in His presence. When we sin, we turn our backs on God, and separate ourselves from Him. That sin also separates us from becoming part of the purpose of God for this universe, thus making our lives pointless and short. We live now in such a world --- evil in part, pleasant in part, but pointless --- it is a prison of our own making.
But God has never stopped loving us. Using His Spirit, he inspired men and women around the world to reach for Him, for Meaning, for Understanding --- and this has resulted in world religions --- every culture has produced its own religion based on its partial understanding of God. Of all these religions, the one that understood the best about God was Judaism; so He worked with their prophets, priests, and leaders to grow that understanding, until a point was reached that would allow God to reach out to us, to come to us, and to be understood. At that point in time, God entered our world, the world of humanity, and in the power of the Holy Spirit, took our flesh and was born among us --- we called Him Jesus.
In Jesus, the Father was trying to reveal Himself to us. We could for the first time, see what God was like --- not physically of course --- but in His love, His caring, His healing, His truth. And then Jesus did something unimaginable --- he took the punishment for our sins (our selfishness) onto His own shoulders, and died on the Cross with it. We call that day, Good Friday (or God's Friday).
To prove that His sacrifice on our behalf was real, and not just the suicide of a very good person, Jesus was raised to life again on the Third Day. We call it Easter Day --- the Day of the Resurrection. And with that event, everything changed. It proved that:
1) God really loves us (the crucifix is the world's greatest symbol of love), and
2) that we can be forgiven, and
3) that there is life beyond this life, and
4) that we can rejoin the Father in His Plan and Purpose to create a great loving society right here on earth (to be called the Kingdom of God).
In order to accomplish all this, Jesus founded a Church, with His disciples (now to be called Apostles) empowered by the Holy Spirit as the first Bishops of that Church. He gave it a perfect way to Worship Him --- the Eucharist, the Mass, whatever word you like to use. He gave it authority to spread the Good News everywhere, to Heal, to Forgive, and to Bless. By Baptism and Faith, we are joined to Christ, and begin our journey together with Him. We call that one Church founded by Jesus, the Holy Catholic Church, and Episcopalians are part of that Catholic Church, together with our fellow Anglicans in the world, about 80 million strong. The 7 Sacraments of the Church are channels of His Grace (power) to all Christians, power that is available to change us and to change the world. Our Destiny here is to build the Kingdom of God, and at the same time to be so changed bit by bit that we reach the stage of being completely changed into what God intended us to be --- which is called "becoming a Saint". That is the destiny of every Christian --- and why we struggle each day to grow into a little reflection of Jesus himself. It is a slow process, that is totally dependent on God's Grace and our renewed will to walk with Jesus.
The Sacraments are channels of God's power to us, guaranteed. Baptism, Confirmation,Eucharist,Confession, Unction, Ordination, Marriage. Read more about them in the Article named: Sacraments.
To assist in our understanding of God, the Church gathered a number of writings into one book, which we call the Bible. The Bible is not infallible, because it was written by imperfect people at a particular time in history, but now interpreted by the Church empowered by the Holy Spirit, it is the best tool we have to understand God, and His Will and His Love.
We, the baptised and believing people gathered together under the patronage of Sts Peter and Paul (called in short form, Sts.Peter and Paul Church), invite you to come and journey with us, to offer the Holy Sacrifice of Christ on Sunday with us, to learn and grow with us, and to do what we can to bring the Kingdom of God into El Centro, California. We journey with Jesus, and would love to have you walk with us. God bless and keep you.

text: I did these illustrations for Internet Movil, a local company here in Cancun. I made 16 illustrations on a thight deadline. What I like about Zbrush is that it can help you quickly resolve some tasks when you are in a hurry. Like allowing you to make major changes in proportions easily once all the modeling is done. The initial concept for the robot was leaner but once the modeling was done it was decided that it needed to look friendlier. So I pushed and pullled until I got the proper proportions. Smooth brush is nice in these situations too. The other time saver are adaptive UV tiles. I know it's not a lot of work for UV mapping but when you are in a hurry can't beat AUV for distortion free textures.

BUHLER - Buhler High made a statement on Thursday - a resounding statement that will reverberate statewide.A 64-14 dual-meet thrashing of Andale, the two-time defending Kansas Class 4A champions served notice that the Crusaders, ranked sixth in this week's state poll, might have their sights set on a higher place in the rankings.
"At this point of the season, what we did tonight was tell ourselves we are capable of going against good competition and going nose to nose with them," said first-year head coach Mike Juby. "We don't need to back down to anyone.
"... Getting a win like this helps us to re-enforce that belief."
Buhler started quickly and didn't stop until it had secured the lopsided victory. Jesse James pinned Andale's Sam Lubbers in 52 seconds during the first match of the night and things snowballed from there.
The Crusaders won the first eight matches to take charge of the meet. Nathan Elliott (113), Brett Anderson (120), Kyle Miller (126), Cole Brown (132), Brandon Berry (138), Marcus Gaeddert (145) and Jake Gehring (152) added victories before the Indians could respond.
"We got off to a good start and the kids kept moving forward," Juby said. "Every match that I thought we would win, we won. Every match I thought we could win, we won."
In other words, it was a near-perfect night for the Crusaders.
Andale's Kyle Armstron (160), Levi Eck (182) and Derrick Gates (195) had victories for the Indians. Eck, a defending state champion, recorded a technical-fall victory over Jake Mullins.
Logan Lindbloom (170), Jon Yates (220) and Braden Redenbaugh had victories for the Crusaders as well.
106: Jesse James (B) pinned Sam Lubbers (A), 0:52. 113: Nathan Elliott (B) maj. dec. Ben Taylor (A), 14-4. 120: Brett Anderson (B) received a bye. 126: Kyle Miller (B) pinned Dylan Eck (A), 4:27. 132: Cole Brown (B) received a bye. 138: Brandon Berry (B) pinned Cale Renolds (A), 0:33. 145: Marcus Gaeddert (B) pinned Cooper Tade (A), 1:22. 152: Jake Gehring (B) pinned Isaac Taylor (A), 1:48. 160: Kyle Armstrong (A) dec.

Top 10 Performance-Enhanced Athletes of 2009
Performance enhancers drive sports in America and it is no accident that it is most pervasive in baseball (America's past time) and football (what macho America watches). So the next time you watch sports and see a big, buff athlete, ask yourself, "is he on the 'roids?" Your answer, will most likely be correct, seeing as this steroid era is still not behind us.
- 1In late 2007, Pettitte admitted to using HGH (human growth hormones, though not a steroid, was still a banned substance in the Major Leagues). Taking the honest route, he admitted unlike his friend, Roger Clemens. Since then, Pettitte has been on a roll winning at least 14 games each season and adding another World Series championship to his resume.
- 2
- 3A-Rod denied taking steroids, but in the end he came forth and told what was true all along. Taking steroids in 2003, he won the his 3rd consecutive AL home run with 47 homers (52 and 57 the 2 years prior to 2003) crown and his first MVP. Afterward, in 2004, he managed to only hit 36 homers, a distinguishable drop off. But I guess karma is on his side, he's supposedly is clean now and the result of that is a World Series ring.
- 4One of two Vikings caught using a banned supplement in 2008. He appealed his suspension and have bounced back nicely totaling 6 sacks in 9 games so far.
- 5One look at these him and a glance at his names and instantly one though comes to mind -brothers! he's related to Kevin Williams. Well not exactly. Although they aren't blood brothers, they seem to be locker room bros as both of them have been busted for taking water pills (a form of steroids). They have been the anchor for the Minnesota Viking's defense and it shows this year as the Vikings are ranked in the top 6 against the run.

Sorry but its not attractive to us women when you take your shirts off and have no necks and your veins are popping out of your skin. There is nothing more attractive than a man who is drug-free and hasnt cheated his way to the top of his sport. - hehateme
Top 10 Performance-Enhanced Athletes of 2009 at 12/09/2009 10:21 AMI agree baseballfan...why do we never hear about other sports figures getting caught with steroids? Sorry but there is no way a 300lb defensive end at 6'5" can run a 4.5 40 and not be taking something illegal. SORRY - baseballfan
Top 10 Performance-Enhanced Athletes of 2009 at 12/08/2009 11:10 AMI think its ridiculous that nobody ever hears about the football players that get caught using performance enhancers yet every baseball player that gets caught you might as well tattoo them on every billboard in america. Ironic tho that the World Series Champs had two guys with positive test records.

Recipe by Syd
"This is always a hit! I use a mint flavored frosting for this cake."
Watch video tips and tricks
2 cups cake flour
1 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup water
3 (1 ounce) squares unsweetened chocolate
1/2 cup butter
1 1/2 cups white sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla extract
2/3 cup sour cream
I made this for my husband for Father's Day, and used a chocolate frosting recipe I found on this site that used cream cheese and baker's chocolate and put candied mint-leaves on top. I think it's really really good! The cake is very rich and moist! I've got the leftover cake in the refrigerator and if you put a slice in the microwave for 20 seconds, and top with ice cream, it's delicious. The frosting microwaves well because of the cream cheese.
The cake was ok but too dry. The flavor was fine but the texture ruined it for me. I served this at my son's birthday party and I was not pleased. I doubled the recipe but I doubt that would have affected the outcome... ps - I put chocolate chips between the layers and that was a nice touch.

This was a great recipe. I didn't have bakers chocolate, SO instead I used hersheys natural cocoa powder mixed with the amount of water recipe indicates and a tablespoon extra of butter. This cake is not super chocolaty as I thought, it is sutble. perfect with some white whipped frosting and sliced strawberrys. It was a major hit , I am definatly making this cake again. btw i chose to use all natural and organic ingredients. although that doesnt change the calorie intake it is gratifying knowing I am not eating hydrogenated dye filled food. Kudos to this recipe..
Used a 13x9 pan, and baked for 50 min total. Delicious, and everyone enjoyed it :). Because some said it was dry, and I'm in deserty Colorado, added 2 egg yolks and 1/2 cup yogurt and 1 cup chocolate chips. Made icing with butter, cocoa, p. sugar and Bailey's Irish Cream.
I made this into cupcakes, and they turned out really well. For me, at least, the batter turned out really thick, almost like chocolate mousse (and was really yummy!) I baked the cupcakes at 350 for about 15 minutes. They were not overly sweet, which worked well with the super-sweet frosting we put on top. We'll make them again.
Wow, what a great chocolate cake! I used 2 squares semi-sweet and 1 square unsweetened chocolate based on the reviews. This fluffy chocolate cake was STILL moist after 8 days in the fridge. Definitely a keeper recipe, thanks!
This is a really yummy cake for all the family...not very chocolatey actually, but it was moist and delicious. The day after making it, we sliced it down the middle, put some pieces of high quality chocolate in the centre, put it in the microwave for 30 seconds until the chocolate pieces melted and then we ate it like a sandwich. The taste was incredibly decadent and delicious.
This cake was awesome I made it for my Grandma's 71st birthday and it was a big hit. But it was just a tad dry no one noticed but I did. I put some chocolate frosting on it and it was perfect.

QuiltUniversity.com offers online sewing and quilting classes. I was drawn to a few of the appliqué classes and signed up for one with instructor Susan Brittingham called Flower Power. There are 5 classes with a new one opening each Friday.
In this class, we are going to examine a number of ways to use appliqué and embroidery to capture and recreate images of flowers and add them to our quilts. We will look at a variety of techniques, including the spontaneous free-form collage method, quick and easy fusible appliqué, and the complexity of freezer paper and upside down appliqué. We will add embellishments and details with embroidery and dimensional surface design.
I picked a single lotus flower as my class project and will share my progress.

How about reading up on her story & having some compassion? Elizabeth had been terrorized & abused into submission by an armed psycho. She's not the first kidnap victim to submit out of fear of death.
I probably know her story as well or better than you. I also have compassion for her ordeal. However, I think she is an absurd choice to be paid to give tips to parents and children on escaping from kidnappers. A better choice would be someone who has actually escaped from a kidnapper like young Calysta Cordova, the 9 year old Colorado girl who escaped her kidnapper and called 911.
Elizabeth story sells, not because it might help other kidnap victims, but because she is young, white and pretty and the story of her being raped over 1000 times titillates listeners. Even more so, when delivered by the victim, herself. In other words, it proves the old adage, "sex sells", in every form.

A A+F Online Courses: My experience with the online classes that I have taken has been very positive. The work load is a little more than that of a traditional classroom class, but that is to be expected. The professors are very helpful and offer excellent advice and feedback. They also respond to your questions and concerns very quickly.
B A+F Online Courses: I have taken one online course I did not prefer it
C+ A+F Online Courses: When I had decided to go to college and knew that I would have to take online classes to fit my lifestyle, I was unsure of whether or not I would go through with it and begin but they had encouraged me and I was signed up and starting my first class in no time. It is very different from a regular classroom and some parts of class would be easier if in a classroom but I think having to have the self discipline to finish what you start is more challenging but much more rewarding in the end. The workload can be a bit much depending on which courses you are in because they go by so quickly. Interacting with peers is normally done in the weekly discussion forums and it is mandatory that you dialogue with at least 3 other students per week. The relationship you have with your professor is also done through technology and many of them at this school are not flexible with many things. However, you want to pass your classes no matter what so following the calendars for each course makes things easier for you so that you can plan ahead and be ready to complete future assignments when they come up.
Online Courses: I have not taken any classes online yet. However, I hear they are kind of hard. It depends on if you are a hands on learner or a book learner. The online classes require a lot of reading and responding to what you read.
A A+F Online Courses: I have yet to take an online course here at Bryant and Stratton, But I have taken online courses at my previous college. I was a little worried because I wasn't use to not being face to face with the professors but with the types of tools that you are able to use it made it feel like I was right in the classroom with my other classmates. You have to do a lot more reading for online classes than in person but I liked the different opportunities that online classes give you. Being able to do the class work when it is most convenient but time management is huge! If you are not an organized person, online classes will not be for you! But other than that I thin they are a great experience to have in the college atmosphere.

The Doors (Mouseover for the latest Jim Morrison Videos and News) Dawn's Highway -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind. Me and my -ah- mother and father - and a grandmother and a grandfather - were driving through the desert, at dawn, and a truck load of Indian workers had either hit another car, or just - I don't know what happened - but there were Indians scattered all over the highway, bleeding to death. So the car pulls up and stops. That was the first time I tasted fear. I musta' been about four - like a child is like a flower, his head is just floating in the breeze, man. The reaction I get now thinking about it, looking back - is that the souls of the ghosts of those dead Indians...maybe one or two of 'em...were just running around freaking out, and just leaped into my soul. And they're still in there. Indians scattered on dawn's highway bleeding Ghosts crowd the young child's fragile eggshell mind. Blood in the streets in the town of New Haven Blood stains the roofs and the palm trees of Venice Blood in my love in the terrible summer Bloody red sun of Phantastic L.A. Blood screams her brain as they chop off her fingers Blood will be born in the birth if a nation Blood is the rose of mysterious union Blood on the rise, it's following me.

cant tell if your joking Mark,
But the cue isnt even close to finished.
(not in order) Wrap area need to be cut in. Butt cap needs to be finished. Weight bolt installed. Once inlays done, finished turned. Wrap installed.
And then the cue gets finished and rubbed out. repeat often.
The reason the wood may looked finished is he may have put some mineral spirits or something to help pull the dust out of the wood and then maybe a sanding sealer.
Or am I being overly nerdy?

text: Sept. 8 NORTH CAROLINA: More instances of prosecutorial misconduct reinforce case for death sentence moratorium The General Assembly adjourned for the year without passing a moratorium on the death penalty to give the state of North Carolina time to examine its practices and procedures and to determine whether it administers the ultimate punishment fairly and only in cases where guilt is incontrovertible. Meanwhile, evidence continues to mount that people have been sent to death row in North Carolina following trials that were a travesty of justice. The N.C. State Bar recently charged two former prosecutors with misconduct in the 1996 Union County trial of Jonathan Hoffman, who was sentenced to death after being convicted of killing the owner of a discount jewelry store in 1995. Hoffman was granted a new trial in 2004 after his lawyers accused prosecutors of withholding information, using false evidence at trial and altering documents before submitting them to a judge for review. One of Hoffman's prosecutors admitted during a hearing that information about a deal with the primary witness against Hoffman was withheld from his attorneys, but he denied the other allegations. The N.C. Bar apparently found the evidence strong enough to charge former Union County District Attorney Kenneth Honeycutt and his assistant, Scott Brewer, who is now a district court judge based in Rockingham, with committing 23 violations of the rules that govern trial lawyers, including lying to the trial judge, jury and defense lawyers and knowingly using false evidence at Hoffman's trial. If they are found guilty of the misconduct allegations in a hearing before the bar, they could be punished by anything from a written reprimand to the loss of their law licenses. Hoffman spent 7 years on death row. He was the 6th North Carolina inmate to receive a new trial because of prosecutorial misconduct. The state Senate passed a moratorium bill two years ago, but it failed in the House. This year the House couldn't even pass a watered down version that would have conducted a study without implementing a moratorium. There are those in the General Assembly who oppose a moratorium because they think it is only a prelude to a complete ban on the death penalty. It is undoubtedly true that many of those who support a moratorium hope to eventually eliminate the death penalty entirely. But the decision about whether we resume executions following a moratorium is one for another day. The kind of prosecutorial behavior with which Honeycutt and Brewer are charged so completely undermines the public's confidence in the court system that a moratorium and thorough study of how justice is carried out in death penalty cases is essential. Otherwise, none of North Carolina's citizens can be confident that the state is not, for all practical purposes, killing innocent people in their name. (source: Opinion, Asheville Citizen-Times) ******************** A Sorry Record Late in January, the people of North Carolina put 170 people to work on the major issues of the day. The taxpayers did not get their money's worth from the dismal performance of the 2005 General Assembly. Legislators finally adjourned their session last Friday, a little more than 7 months after they began. The list of what they did not accomplish far surpasses that which they did. Legislators did not reform a tax system that is out of touch with the 21st-century economy. Instead, they made the state more dependent on the anachronistic system now in place. They did not address the structural deficit that brings every legislature to town facing huge shortfalls. They did not pass a moratorium on the death penalty, nor even start a compromise study commission on how the penalty is implemented. They did not act on the suggestions of Chief Justice I. Beverly Lake Jr. to create an innocence-inquiry commission to find wrongly convicted defendants. The list goes on. The 2005 General Assembly failed to let a series of tax increases expire on July 1. Many of the same legislators in power this year were in power two and four years ago when the sales tax was increased "temporarily" by a half-percent to pay for revenue shortfalls. Those taxes are on the books for at least another 2 years. The failures of the legislature do not end there. It embraced the worst option available with a 25-cents-a-pack cigarette tax hike. That will hurt consumers, but most likely not deter many people from smoking. Combine that with other tax increases and extensions, and North Carolinians were hit with an additional $657 million worth of taxes this year and $964 million next. And the taxes fall almost exclusively on consumers. That tax take does not include the gouging of the gullible that will begin with the introduction of the first North Carolina State Lottery scratch-off tickets. Despite bilking the poor of millions in new taxes, the legislature refused to help the poor with even a small increase to the minimum wage. The incompetence of this General Assembly could be seen in a budget process that ran a month late despite the fact that leaders conducted most deliberations in secrecy. Each year they do less in public view while taking more legislative shortcuts, such as the volume of substantive legislation they sneaked through the system as budget provisions. Even bills that should have passed in weeks - legislation aimed at stemming the supply of pseudophedrine to illicit methamphetamine labs - took the full 7 months. The 2005 General Assembly is gone, and thank goodness. (source: Winston-Salem Journal) FLORIDA: Jury recommends death penalty in Jacksonville father-son murders A jury recommended 2 death sentences Wednesday for a man convicted in the 2004 shooting deaths of a Jacksonville man and his 13-year-old son. The jury made a unanimous recommendation that Thomas Bevel, 24, be executed for killing Mayport Middle School student Phillip Sims. The jury voted 8-4 to recommend the death penalty for murdering the boy's father, Garrick Stringfield. The victims were fatally shot with an AK-47 assault rifle at Stringfield's home in February 2004. Bevel had been a boarder in Stringfield's home. Felitta Smith, who was watching television with Stringfield, survived and identified Bevel as the shooter. After his arrest a month later, Bevel told police he killed Stringfield because he feared Stringfield was planning to kill him, Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda said during closing arguments Friday. Bevel told police he shot Sims and Smith because he couldn't leave a witness, de La Rionda said. Defense attorney Refik Eler said Bevel confessed to protect his younger brother, who owned two AK-47 assault rifles. A hearing about the recommendation is set for Oct. 6. A sentencing date not been scheduled yet. If Bevel is sentenced to death, he would be the 1st killer in 2 years from Duval County sentenced to be executed. (source: Associated Press) ********************************* Crusade vs. executions, book bring nun to area Sister Helen Prejean, author of "Dead Man Walking" and "The Death of Innocents," is shown at Holy Faith Catholic Church on NW 43rd Street. "The beauty of being Catholic is that we can be pro-life across the board." urricane Katrina forced Sister Helen Prejean and about 60 other nuns to flee their New Orleans Mother House last week and relocate indefinitely to Baton Rouge. But the catastrophe had an effect on something else to which the woman who has come to be known as "the Death-Penalty Nun" has devoted her life. "Katrina put a moratorium on the death penalty in Louisiana for at least 3 years," Prejean, 66, said before her talk Wednesday night at Holy Faith Catholic Church in Gainesville. She said court buildings in New Orleans were so badly damaged that judges, among other things, won't be reviewing death-penalty cases anytime soon. In effect, Katrina partly did in a day what Prejean has been working more than 20 years to accomplish - abolish the death penalty in the United States. That effort was given a boost by her 1993 book, "Dead Man Walking," and director Tim Robbins' 1996 movie based on it that earned Susan Sarandon an Academy Award for best-actress for her portrayal of Prejean. The book explores Prejean's spiritual journey that took her from being pen pals with a death row inmate to accompanying him to his execution, and how that experience crystallized her belief that the death penalty goes against true Christian teachings. She talked about that journey - from a privileged upbringing in Baton Rouge to spiritual adviser to death row inmates - before about 200 people at Holy Faith. Her Gainesville visit was the first stop on a nationwide tour to promote her second book on the death penalty, "The Death of Innocents: An Eyewitness Account of Wrongful Executions," which details her experience with two executed men whom she said clearly were innocent. After her hourlong talk, she signed copies of both books - and accepted donations to the rebuilding of the convent in New Orleans. Prejean emphasized that her mission is as much to the families of victims as it is to their killers. "My new book is dedicated to Murder Victim Families for Human Rights," she said. "I wrote 'Dead Man Walking' as a journey to both sides - the victims' families and the condemned." But she said to say taking the life of the person who killed your child or other loved one will help you heal, or give you justice, is "dishonest." Executing a human being, she said, "is the exact opposite of baptism." The death penalty, she said, is "legalized vengeance" and a policy that is "morally bankrupt" and unequally applied. "Why is it the district attorney of New Orleans seldom seeks the death penalty when it's black people who are killed?" she said. Prejean said that in the Catholic Church, the death penalty has been an issue "in development." Historically the church's pro-life stance had been centered around the issues of abortion, euthanasia and assisted suicide, she said. The death penalty wasn't afforded the same level of importance in the pro-life debate, she said. In 1997, Pope John Paul II - following letters from Prejean - initiated a change in the Catholic catechism to state that the death penalty is equally as important as other life issues. "It's all about waking up, about reflecting more deeply," Prejean said. "The beauty of being Catholic is that we can be pro-life across the board. The death penalty is one of the arenas of development in the church - to see dignity in all life, even someone who has killed innocent people." She said Catholic bishops are just now beginning to move the death penalty issue from the back burner to the front. "Or at least to the middle burner," Prejean said. She said her mission is to help create a dialogue about the death penalty, to get people to start thinking more deeply about it. She has been helped in that effort, she said, by the movie "Dead Man Walking" and an opera that also was based on the book. Now Robbins has written a "Dead Man Walking" play specifically for universities and colleges, which Prejean said are free to produce on their campuses in order to broaden awareness of the death penalty issue to young people. "The death penalty is an issue where we have to do more awakening," she said. (source: Gainesville Sun) ***************************** Jury favors death for man----He killed roommate, roommate's teen son A jury recommended 2 death sentences Wednesday for a Jacksonville man convicted of fatally shooting his roommate then killing the man's 13-year-old son to get rid of a witness. Thomas Eugene Bevel stood motionless as the verdicts were read -- a unanimous recommendation he be executed for killing Mayport Middle School student Phillip Sims and an 8-4 recommendation he die for murdering Phillip's father, Garrick Stringfield. The deaths occurred last year in Stringfield's Colchester Road home, where Phillip was visiting for the weekend. Bevel, 24, will be the 1st killer in 2 years from Duval County sentenced to die if Circuit Judge L. Page Haddock agrees with the recommendation as expected. Haddock told jurors he would follow their recommendation unless he determines no reasonable person would go along. Bevel's lawyers will have one last chance to dissuade Haddock at a hearing Oct. 6. The judge said he will formally sentence Bevel sometime after that. Bevel also was convicted of attempted murder in the shooting of a woman who was with Stringfield. Phillip's mother, who testified twice during the trial, buried her head in her hands and cried silently as the verdicts were announced. "I'm just happy justice was served. I can truly say that," Sojourner Sims Parker said afterward. "At least I know he didn't get away with it. ... It won't bring Phillip back, but it does give me some closure." Parker praised the work of police and Assistant State Attorney Bernie de la Rionda, who said he hopes the jury's decision sends a message about violence in the community. "When you have the death of an innocent boy after having killed his father and almost killing another person, that just cries out for justice," de la Rionda said. "Thankfully, the jury agreed." Bevel's lawyers left the courthouse without comment but argued for a life sentence. They said Bevel's age, low intelligence level and troubled upbringing weighed against sentencing him to death. "The issue here before you is not accountability. ... Life in prison without the possibility of parole holds him accountable," said attorney Richard Sellinger. "He still deserves the blame. He just doesn't deserve death." But de la Rionda said Bevel's actions deserved the ultimate punishment because of his history of violence. Additionally, Bevel murdered Phillip to eliminate a witness, de la Rionda said. "You need to focus on his true character," de la Rionda told jurors. "Justice dictates that the defendant be held fully accountable for his actions." In Florida, death sentences are automatically appealed. (source: The Florida Times-Union) GEORGIA: Jury selection begins today in long-delayed death penalty case In Lawrenceville, 6 years after a young mother and her toddler were slain, lawyers today will begin selecting a jury to hear evidence in the death penalty case against a Jonesboro man. Police believe Wesley Vandale Harris shot 22-year-old Whitney Land and her daughter, Jordan, stuffed their bodies in the trunk of a car and set it ablaze. The trial has been delayed multiple times since the November 1999 slayings and is expected to last approximately 6 weeks. A total of 575 jurors have been summoned, but officials are predicting only about 1/2 will show up, said Dorothy Ash, Gwinnett County jury manager. "You have to consider people that have doctor's certificates, ones excused by courts, undeliverable (summonses) and people that have moved out of the county," Ash said. About 50 potential jurors will be needed before lawyers can begin whittling them down to a 12-member jury panel. Prosecutors can have 10 strikes and defense attorneys Christine Koehler and Herb Adams get 20. For each alternate, a prosecutor gets one strike to the defense attorneys' 2. Prosecutor, defense have met before District Attorney Danny Porter and the lead defense counsel, Johnny Moore, are a formidable presence in the courtroom with decades of legal experience. Neither is a stranger to capital murder cases. Porter and Moore have faced off twice in the past in death penalty trials for Michael Wade Nance and Mike Chapel. Both defendants were convicted. Chapel, a former Gwinnett County police officer, was sentenced to 2 life sentences plus 5 years for shooting and robbing a Sugar Hill woman in 1993. Nance was sentenced to death for the second time in 2002 after his initial death sentence was overturned by the state Supreme Court. Nance killed a Gwinnett County Department of Transportation employee while trying to escape a botched bank robbery in 1993. Harris, 27, is also accused of a horrendous crime. Land and her daughter were shot multiple times and their bodies were found in the trunk of a burning car on Nov. 8, 1999, at a Duluth water treatment plant. Land was shot once in the back and twice in the chest. Jordan was shot once in the chest. The killer then placed the barrel of the gun to the toddlers cheek and pulled the trigger. Physical evidence, witness statements and cellular phone records linked Harris to the crimes, police said. Moore was finishing up last-minute preparations for the Harris trial this week. "You have to definitely do the best you can," said Moore, reached by phone at his Lawrenceville office on Tuesday. "I don't think anybody wants to take somebodys life lightly." Moore is being assisted by co-counsels Christine Koehler, a local defense attorney, and Terri Thompson, a lawyer from the Georgia Capital Defenders Office. Multiple delays In a death penalty case, every part of the trial process is under a microscope. Already there have been about 150 pretrial motions, and the trial has been postponed multiple times since the slayings. Harris' trial was originally slated to begin in January 2002, but a motion filed by Harris' attorneys halted all jury trials after a visiting judge ruled that the process of compiling a jury pool in Gwinnett was invalid. Another trial date in September 2003 was postponed when undisclosed "new and important evidence" was brought to light by Harris' attorneys. The last delay came after Superior Court Judge Richard T. Winegarden declared a mistrial three weeks into jury selection in February 2004. The mistrial was based on findings that defense attorney Herbert Adams was unprepared for trial. In a December 2004 interview with the Gwinnett Daily Post, Whitney Land's best friend, Betty Eskew, said the wait has been unbearable for friends and family. "Whitney and Jordan still have not had their day," Eskew said. "For it to be 5 years later and still nothing, it drives me insane." (source: Gwinnett Daily Post) ALABAMA: Family of officers' killer prays judge shuns death penalty Relatives of Kerry Spencer, convicted of killing 3 police officers, said they're praying a judge will uphold a jury's recommendation to spare him the death penalty. "We do want the family of the victims to know there are no hard feelings," said Spencer's aunt, Dianne Pyles. "We hurt for them, but we don't think taking the life of Kerry will restore the missing links they feel." A jury convicted Spencer in June on four counts of capital murder in the deaths of Birmingham police officers Carlos Owen, 59, Harley Chisholm III, 40, and Charles Robert Bennett, 33. The 4th capital murder charge was for killing 2 or more people during 1 act. The officers were killed June 17, 2004, while trying to serve a months-old misdemeanor warrant on Nathaniel Woods, Spencer's roommate, at their Ensley drug house. Woods will be tried in October. The jury deliberated 2 days before recommending the judge sentence him to life in prison without the possibility of parole. Jefferson County Circuit Judge Tommy Nail will sentence Spencer on Friday. State law allows Nail to accept or reject the jury's recommendation. Spencer's family spoke out after a news report this week that 4,000 members of a national police union voted unanimously to urge the judge to override the jury's recommendation. Birmingham FOP president Sgt. Allen Treadaway delivered that resolution to the judge last week. Pyles said Treadaway and other officials are using their positions of authority to influence the judge. As Spencer's family has throughout the case, Pyles insinuated wrongdoing on the part of the officers, though no testimony or evidence in Spencer's trial ever supported those allegations. "I don't think the whole case was presented," Pyles said. "There's more evidence that could have been brought out." Pyles said she wanted people to know that Spencer is remorseful, but she doesn't think that has been portrayed.

Prosecuting Attorney Steve Dalrymple charged Kenneth Williams, 26, with capital murder, aggravated robbery and theft of property in connection with the death of Jerrell Jenkins on Dec. 14, 1998. In the letter on which The Commercial reported in June, Williams said he fatally shot Jenkins "and I take full responsibility for my actions and whatever consequences my peers see fit." Dalrymple said Williams, "in the commission of an aggravated robbery" caused the death of Jenkins. The body was found in a ditch in the area of East 29th Avenue and Ohio Street. Williams is currently on death row at the Department of Correction's Supermaximum Security Unit at Varner after being sentenced to death for the Oct. 3, 1999, slaying of Cecil Boren, 57. Dalrymple said an execution date has not been set and is awaiting a post conviction challenge of the death sentence Williams received. A hearing on that challenge is scheduled for today at the Jefferson County Detention Center with Judge Berlin C. Jones presiding. Boren was killed after Williams broke out of prison, where he was serving a sentence of life without parole for the kidnapping, robbery and shooting death of UAPB cheerleader Dominique "Nikki" Hurd. Williams said he killed Jenkins the same day Hurd and another UAPB student, Peter Robertson, were kidnapped from the parking lot of a restaurant on Olive Street and then driven to Harden-Reed Road, where both were robbed and then shot repeatedly. Hurd died the next day. Robertson recovered from his injuries and testified against Williams in Jefferson County Circuit Court. After escaping from prison and shooting Boren, Williams stole a vehicle and fled to Missouri, where he was involved in a high-speed chase with police that resulted in the death of a Missouri man, Michael Greenwood. In his letter, Williams confessed to all four of the slayings. Dalrymple said capital murder is a Class Y felony, punishable by death or life in prison without the possibility of parole. Aggravated robbery is also a Class Y felony, punishable by 10 to 40 years or life in prison, and theft of property is a Class C felony, punishable by 3 to 10 years in prison, a fine or both. Dalrymple said the new charges were also assigned to Jones. (source: Pine Bluff Commercial)

We hope everyone had a nice 4th of July. My family spent the holiday weekend trying to prop up the price of Disney's stock. Judging from the crowds, the economy seems to be doing pretty well. Unfortunately, outside of Disneyland, the global economic statistics are not looking quite as magical. The June employment numbers in the U.S. and Europe were disappointing and there is a long list of "potential" headwinds. However, here are a few silver linings:
1) The price of oil is down 20 percent from a yearago and down $30 a barrel from just earlier this year. The decline in oil prices will put more discretionary income into consumers' pockets and also help to keep a lid on inflation.
2) Most, if not all, of the bad news you have been hearing is already reflected in today's stock prices. Second quarter earnings do not need to be good. They just need to be less bad than expected for the stock market to hold up or even rally. The consensus among leading economists is for a 2 percent decline in earnings. If earnings come in flat to slightly up, that will be good for our investment portfolios.
3) Despite all the challenges, the Global Dow is still slightly positive for the year and all domestic markets are solidly in positive territory YTD.
Have a great week.

Paid Job Training & Student Internships
"It was rewarding to play a small role in assisting our student intern with her career goals with some real-world experience. She was of great help, not only to me, but she assisted two other departments as well. This partnership was truly a win-win for her and our organization." -CenCal Health
Partners coordinates a comprehensive internship program that provides paid, experiential learning opportunities to disadvantaged students. Through partnerships with local businesses and non-profits we can address the lack of real world experiential learning opportunities that are necessary for students to remain engaged in school and motivated in achieving their future goals. The goal of this program is to address the following needs:
- Students need adequate training and preparation before entering the professional world
- Students in this income bracket need to be compensated for their work
- Local businesses and community members need to play a significant and unique role in educating and developing the future workforce
Selection Process
Prior to being accepted to the Internship Program, all students must successfully complete our application process. This includes several in-depth essay questions, a recommendation from a teacher or other school staff member, and an interview. In addition, all students must have at least 2.0 GPA to be considered. It is ideal for an intern to have first taken a Career Technical Education course.
Job Readiness Training
Students complete six weeks of job readiness training on the following topics:
- Resumes, covers letters and employment paperwork
- Interview Skills
- Workplace Attire
- Attitude and demeanor
- Customer Service
- Workplace Etiquette
- Financial Literacy
Internship Work Experience
After completing the training, a student is placed with a local business or community member to begin work.
Interviews with hosts allow students to learn of their employers' expectations and more about the field they will be working in. The interns are placed with host sites after much consideration of their career interests and personal skills.
Interns will receive $8 an hour for 80 hours of work over the 8 week period, paid monthly. We ask employers to match the interns' wages by paying $4 for each hour the intern works. The remaining amount ($4 per hour) is being paid by generous contributions from the Orfalea Foundations, the AT&T Foundation and D.D. Ford Construction.We are eager to hear from businesses who are interested in being involved in our current efforts to place interns, and also from those who want to support our efforts to expand our services in this area. Please contact Chelsea Duffy at (805) 964-4710 x4421 or email firstname.lastname@example.com.

Parent to Parent: Sleep Help
Reported by:
Leisa Williams
Archived Reports:
If you have a toddler, no doubt you've fought the bed-time wars. Little ones don't like to go to bed, and are forever waking up in the middle of the night. If parents aren't careful, kids can develop bad sleep habits, but in tonight's Parent to Parent, Lynn Martinez tells tell us that keeping kids in bed could be as easy as using the right night light.
WSVN -- Four-year-old Logan used to hate to go to bed.
Dana Nordby Monti: "He would fight us and didn't want to go to bed, and would think of any excuse not to go to bed."
Two-year-old Jackson woke up too early, then their mom Dana found a little helper, The Good Nite Lite. If the moon is up it's time for bed. When the sun lights up, it's time to rise and shine. Parents program the lite themselves.
Dana Nordby Monti: "It has helped us so much get them on a good sleep schedule and it's helped them too because they know what to expect."
Doctors say behavior modification devices like The Good Nite Lite can help teach good sleep habits.
DR. JUAN MARTINEZ: "I think what it really offers is a visual cue for kids. If you can transfer that visual cue and get them used to looking at a simple device that tells you whether it's time to wake up or time to sleep then that's certainly helpful."
Parents also need to establish a regular bedtime routine like story time or reading set a bedtime, and stick to it and above all, be consistent.
DR. JUAN MARTINEZ: "You have to work hard to make your kids aware of the fact that their bed is a place to sleep and staying in their bed is important."
These days sleep time is a good time for the Monti family.
Dana Nordby Monti: "It's been much better and much more pleasant at bedtime. Much more pleasant in the morning getting up."
And that means a good day for everyone.

Register Today!- Jan 18 by nanerz13Quote from LinhNguyenI would just call the admissions office. Much faster and easier way to find out if they have it or not and when it will be conpleted.I sent my transcript to TWU a couple weeks ago but they have not updated it on portal. Do you think I should resend my document?LinhNguyen likes this.
- Jan 19 by HelenNgHi everyone! I'm new to this site. I'm also applying to TWU Houston Center for Fall 2013. I'm so worried that I might not get a chance to be accepted at all after seeing everyone's score on here. Can anyone tell me if I still have a shot? Thanks!
TEAS score: 71.2
Preference: 3/4
Prereq GPA: 3.85 - Jan 19 by Aggie89Those are great stats! I spoke to someone on the phone at TWU who told me that for the spring every applicant that got accepted had at least 3 considerations! I don't know how true it is or not but sorta a bummer because I only have two. I guess those first time A's really are important! She also said that they expect to get between 800-1000 applicants..whomp whomp lol
- Jan 21 by broonie717Haha, oh wow, i guess i have a sixth sense, lol. GOOD LUCK!nanerz13 likes this.
- Jan 22 by jmayra10I applied for the Spring 2013 semester with a 3.6 GPA, 2/4 First Attempt A's, a 91.4 on the TEAS, a Bachelor of Science degree in Biology, and I still did not get in. I sent in my application for the Fall, after bumping up my GPA, but I doubt that will help. There's are so many great applicants and not enough spots. I'm applying to other schools this time around.
- Jan 22 by broonie717Quote from nanerz13Oh wow, exact same test? I wonder if they give multiple versions or if we are all taking the same test? Well maybe since you have taken it before you can bump up your score a little bit this time around. If I remember correctly, they post the results pretty quickly, so maybe you will find out tonight. Good luck!I got the exact same test... meh.

dc.description.abstract | Recent evidence has revealed connections between prenatal insults and the development of Parkinson's disease, a neurodegenerative disorder that affects motor function. In the Pitx3ak/2J mouse model, dopaminergic neurons in the substantia nigra do not differentiate thereby disrupting the developing nigrostriatal pathway (Hwang et aI., 2003). In humans, PITX3 alteration is highly correlated with an early onset of Parkinson's (Bergman et aI., in press). Because the Pitx3 mutation in mice has profound effects on early development, and humans with alterations in PITX3 often present with Parkinson's at younger ages, we hypothesize that behavioral testing of the Pitx3 mouse mutant should reveal deficits in juveniles and young adults, confirming Pitx3ak/2J as an early-onset mouse model for Parkinson's disease. Adult wild-type C57BL/6J, Pitx3 mutant mice, and rdl blind controls were tested longitudinally as juveniles at one month (P30) and as young adults at two months of age (P60) in an open field and pole climbing task. To confirm that alterations in behavior resulted from reduced striatal functioning, localized MRS data from the dorsal striatum were collected from both juvenile and adult mice. Because changes in the levels of neuronal metabolic markers in the basal ganglia have been suggestive of Parkinson's disease (Koga et aI., 2006; Rango et aI., 2006), concentrations of choline (Cho) and N-acetyl aspartate (NAA) were measured and analyzed at each age. Functional deficits (longer descent, increased rotation, and decreased rearing) and changes in striatal metabolites were detected at the earliest time point tested (P30), corresponding to juvenile development in humans. Together, these results affirm our hypothesis of early onset motor dysfunction in the Pitx3 mouse model of Parkinson's disease. Further study of this model may provide crucial information on the early emergence of this disease process and new insight into how developmental mechanisms may contribute to adult disease.

TBA 2010: Atlas/Basinski vs Reeves/Sverrisson

By Claudia KalbNewsweek
Feb. 28, 2005 issue - It's a winter night in Northbrook, Ill., and brothers David and Jason Craven are on the move. They're watching a "Baby Beethoven" video. They're bouncing on a mattress in their basement playroom. They're climbing up their dad's legs. David, 7, and Jason, 5, with their mops of brown hair, look physically healthy. But both boys are suffering from a devastating developmental disorder: autism. David speaks only about 10 words, still wears diapers at night and sucks on a pacifier. Jason drinks from a baby bottle. Neither one can vocalize his glee as he plays. Neither one can communicate pain or joy in words. Neither one can say "I love you."
Since their sons were diagnosed, both at the age of 2, Barry and Dana Craven have tried a dizzying array of therapies: neurofeedback, music therapy, swimming with dolphins, social-skills therapy, gluten-free diets, vitamins, anti-anxiety pills and steroids. To reduce the boys' exposure to environmental chemicals, which the Cravens believe might aggravate their conditions, the couple replaced their carpeting with toxin-free wood floors and bought a special water-purifying system. They even installed a $3,500 in-home sauna, which they think will help remove metals like mercury and arsenic from the boys' bodies.
Warm and loving parents, the Cravens spent $75,000 on treatments last year alone. "I'm willing to try just about anything if it makes sense," says Dana.

Don't you just HATE it when people insult you on some "secret" screenname or username of theirs?
It's pathetic.
They're too chicken to show themselves and insult you.
It's already the internet, and they're hiding even more.
I mean, jesus christ, you can insult people all you want on the internet and get away with it.. but when you hide under some unknown screenname.. just UGH.
Sorry, but do people ever do that to you? -_-
