Amy W. Lasek, PhD
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry
Dr. Lasek is interested in the molecular and cell biological factors that contribute to alcohol use disorders and drug addiction. She graduated from Case Western Reserve University with a BA in Biology and Biochemistry and received her PhD in Molecular Biology from Cornell University. Prior to joining the Department of Psychiatry at UIC, Dr. Lasek was an Associate Investigator at the Ernest Gallo Clinic and Research Center at the University of California, San Francisco, where she cultivated her interests in molecular neuroscience and addiction research.
Dr. Lasek's research is focused on determining how perturbing signaling pathways and gene expression in the brain alters behaviors related to drug and alcohol addiction. The laboratory uses molecular genetic techniques in the mouse to answer these questions. Dr. Lasek is also particularly interested in elucidating the neurobiological basis for sex differences in drug abuse. The overall goal of her research is to find and define new signaling pathways in the brain to better understand drug reward and abuse.

GWEC at EWEA Offshore in Frankfurt: Business leaders debate the future of offshore wind
©WindPower Montly
- Baltic states — Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia — have the potential to become hotbeds of onshore and offshore wind
Not only are they blessed with strong winds thanks to their coastal location and relatively flat geography, but all three have a strong urge to end their reliance on oil and gas from Russia, their loathed former ruler.
Other factors that make wind power attractive include Estonia's desire to limit the use of its indigenous, but heavily polluting, oil shale; Lithuania's recent rejection of new nuclear facilities in a national referendum; and the 2020 renewables targets set by the EU.
Yet despite all this promise, two factors are massively constraining wind development in the region: limited finances and a lack of political support.

IN DEPTH: Hope in the Baltics
There is a consensus that the three Baltic states — Estonia, Lithuania and Latvia — have the potential to become hotbeds of onshore and offshore wind.

That would be useless too, no better attack than the knight and costs more, musketeer would be good if they had made it 2/5/1 and the same cost and resource req as musketman. It would make the french the one civ whose musketmen were possibly worth the cost over pikemen to build or upgrade all.Originally posted by DeepO
I totally agree that the French musketeer is useless, and although the French combine very powerfull specific attributes, a 4-4-1 version would be better. Or perhaps let them be built without salpeter, that would also be good.
This wouldn't be at all unbalancing, at least less than the greek hoplites, hmmm, which should I build? 1 musketman or 3 hoplites? let me see here...
and the cossack, as someone said earlier, ouch! no upgrades to or above them, and their only bonus is 1 on defense . . . on an ATTACKING unit. Haven't played the russians yet, but against them I find my calvary have no trouble, because they are never fortified or anything like that when coming at me. actually that extra defense point could be put to good use, by stacking a few of them to defend a hill or mountain or something with a fortress so that they can retreat and wear out attackers, but the ai has no concept of how to use this.

I so love this. It smells good and isnt to oily. My skin feels soft after using this after my shower. I will use this forever..
i use this almost daily right after my shower, it leaves my skin moisturized for hours i love it. also helps tame down those flyaway hairs if you use it after a shower in your hair. nourishes your skin immensely
This oil is nice and moisturizing, but a little on the heavy/thick side. The smell is ok, you don't really smell it once it's on.
I have been trying to find a good body oil when I read that baby oil is made from petroleum by-products (yuck). So far, Avene has been my favorite because of the way it feels on and hydrates my skin, and the smell. It dries quickly and leaves me very moisturized without feeling greasy. I am buying my second bottle right now.
Probably my most favorite sample so far. Love the smell. I also like how it doesn't leave a greasy feeling
This smells fantastic, and is very calming. It also works great to hydrate your skin! It has an earthy/woodsy/ but yet, still feminine odor.
This smells great and makes my skin feel really smooth. If you use too much it feels a little oily at first, but then soaks in to keep you moisturized.
This oil rocks. I've long been a fan of oil rather than cream to moisturize my skin and this one is the perfect consistency -- not to thick, and absorbs into your skin quickly so that you can get dressed without ruining your clothes.
...I don't care for the smell of this product! I'm getting used to it, (my dogs LOVE it) but I'll be looking for something commensurate that doesn't stink. The smell dissipates but not fast enough for me.
I bought this product because I was looking for an alternative to body lotion and this product had good reviews. This product left me feeling oily, as it did not absorb into my skin (even after a few hours). I will be returning this product, as I was hoping to be left with moisturized skin (without the oily after effect).

San Mateo National
I was finally able to book my reservation today for the San Mateo national. The rate of $105.00 was only good through Friday meaning I will have to check out Saturday morning. I was transfered multiple times before I got someone who would actually make the reservation. I was told the car fee of $22.00 was waived for this event. Craig was surprised people were booking already - I guess he doesn't know our people very well!
See you there!
Allan -
There was a problem with rates about a week ago when we initially made our reservation. Called the Marriott today and now have a reservation starting on Wednesday and checking out on Sunday for $105 rate. Hope this helps. Tom
The hotel will now take your reservations for $105.00 per night. You were trying to
book to early, the hotels computer does not book that far out. The will be no charges
for parking as we have a large area set aside for parking, and swap meet. Any questions
contact me, Ed Drexler, directly and I will do may best to solve any problems. All this
misinformation floating around out there is getting out of hand. -
use Marriott's 866-263-1461 # rather than the hotel's number; got mine quickly & efficiently
For anyone who's tried to get the $105 rate on the 21st, they've opened up some more rooms for that rate for early arrivers.
On my email confirmation from the Marriott it notes HUDSON ESSEX, that is probably the group code.
John Forkner
I just booked the rooms for July 22nd to the 28th. The cost is $105 per night. The clerk also stated that there is a fee for parking of $25, although she sounded a bit un informed. What are the accommodations for trailered vehicles. Ed where do we leave the trailers and tow vehicles? Will there be a fee?
Ed I tried to Email you and received a failure notice. Verify your email, please. Ron
I also need to know about the trailer thing. I plan to trailer my car...Brownie
Clerk is wrong, and no fees for parking. This is VERY early and some of the staff does not have a clue yet.
Ray, might be early for them - I booked Gettysburg in early August last year and in fact have booked most all of my nationals in early August thru-out the years.
Alex Burr
Memphis, TN -
Do to the location at SF airport( @ 7 miles) and the first HET National in Cal since Sacramento, I feel that there will be a lot of folks attending. The Sacramento meet needed a few overflow hotels, if I remember, and most HET National meets are in towns that are not direct flights from hub cities. Plane tickets are expensive, and connecting flights a necessity. SF is a non stop from many places, unlike Gettysburg or Spokane. I'm betting this 2013 meet is going to be only surpassed by Detroit in 09 for attendance. In Detroit the hotel in Pontiac was a long distance from the airport, so, a rental car was needed for folks who could not bring their Hudsons. I'm surprised that the sponsors were able to get a hotel so close to a first line size city, and have the parking as well. Advise: get your reservations in.
The current email for Ed Drexler is: email@example.com. Alternative contact for the 2013 National is Richard Griffith at: email@example.com. Ed has been out of town, but these were working addresses as of last week. We are doing everything to insure that the 2013 National Meet is one to remember. As the old saying goes, "If you don't have a good time, it will be your own fault..." See you, Bob Bennett, NorCal Chapter
YIKES....talk about jumping the gun and overreaction.
A quick internet search listed no less than 17 hotels in and near the San Francisco Airport..
Also San Mateo is about 7 miles from the Airport and it also offers a number of reasonable

Amazing "off label" use!
By Dan
from Scottsdale, AZ
Comments about Potato Ricer And Fruit Press:
I've been looking for months for a good Pomegranate Juicer - with little success. All available products only press half pomegranates, like you'd do with oranges. With pomegranates, those products produce semi bitter juice because they squeeze the entire content of the fruit. With this ricer you squeeze only the seeds (you need to manually separate them). The result definitely worth the time it takes to do it. You get the world's best fresh juice, filled with potent antioxidants and nutrients and most importantly -- amazing taste.Note: you must clean and dry the ricer perfectly each time. Otherwise, certain parts may get rusty.This ricer is the best product for this purpose. I love it and keep on buying it for friend and family.

Like it!
By Pima
from Lake County, Ca.
About Me Gourmet Chef
Got this to make Potato Gnocchi and it works great. Easy to press correctly baked/peeled Russets for the recipe I was following. Going to try it when canning berries, should be interesting..do not need it for the home made baby food, but it would be great for that, I would think, as well.All in all, really like it and the container part, being one piece that slips out from the holder, makes for an easy clean up...glad I bought it..the price was great too and I researched many others... got the pros and cons... the pros for this one proved true.
Not Great
By Dommy
from Texas
About Me Avid Cook
Even though this ricer is a bit on the flimsy side, it does work, and takes up less space than the one I have now.
Fantastic Find !!!
By "trouble"
from Kokomo, IN
I have been using my grandmother's ricer for over forty years, praying it would not give up with each use. This ends years of searching for a replacement that I can pass on.

Fluffy Potatoes
By Dee
from Fresno, CA
About Me Casual Cook
I have been looking for this for a long time. I had one many years ago. I love the way it makes your potatoes light and fluffy even before adding anything to them. Use small amounts at a time and when all potatoes are riced add butter, sour cream, or whatever your pleasure and just stir together. So much easier than having to smash and stir all at once. I'm excited and you will love it too.

D A+F Drug Safety: almost everyone drinks and only get caught if puking
D A+F Facilities: lots of lawn ara and a sand volleyball court but the game room is lacking
D A+F Transportation: not really any buses to take you places, provided transportation to airport for fall break
D A+F Academics: Good classes. unique general education program. decent variety
D A+F Academics: workload is not too difficult. they have a writing lab to help with papers
C A+F Health & Safety: we have our own police station and they are there to help walk you across street at night or from one building to the other
D A+F Nightlife: two clubs and one bar are the only places people usually go and they're all about 40 minutes away at least
D A+F Overall Experience: not much to do if you don't play sports and extremely small like a high school all over again
B A+F Campus Housing: Dorms arent bad but very little space. we have hall events that are usually fun too
D A+F Off-Campus Housing: only one set of apartments about a quarter mile away but there are apartment style dorms on campus a lot of people live in
D A+F Campus Strictness: Very strict if you get caught drinking and are underage but as long as you're not throwing up or causing a scene you won't get caught
D A+F Off-Campus Dining: not many places to go just the average fast food and hole in the wall restaurants
A A+F Weather: It is always nice and cool outside and hardly ever rains
D A+F Campus Dining: Not open for that long of hours and not many options
B A+F Athletics: almost all of student body is involved if not playing then somehow participating
A A+F Weather: During the summer periods it rained a lot and made it difficult to walk from my classes. The campus is very small so it isn't that bad to walk around but still I don't like getting wet!
B A+F Campus Housing: I do not like living on campus very much but it is ok. There are several things I would change about my hall. I think the halls and the bathrooms need to be cleaned more often. They are pretty gross! I also think that the quiet hours need to be enforced better. People still run up and down the halls at all hours of the night and play their music extremely loud. I really enjoy my room though and my roommate. I think Pfeiffer did a good job with their roommate pairing.
A A+F Athletics: Pfeiffer's population consists of mainly athletes. Sports plays a big role on campus.
B+ A+F Local Atmosphere: Pfeiffer does a great job at getting all of the students involved in activities since the campus is located in a boring part of town. There is always something to do on campus! if you're bored its because you're a boring person!
A- A+F Facilities: I really appreciate Pfeiffer's continuing education graduate programs that are offered. I like how you can take classes online and on campus. The instructors so far are easy to talk to and the campus is clean and professional.
F A+F Computers: The computers suck! The school needs to get on with the times.
C A+F Parking: Not a lot of people and there are parking places,but here far apart.
B- A+F Scholarships: They need more funding. Some people have to pay more than others.
A A+F Majors: I enjoy being in my program because this is what I want to do and what I want to work in. I feel like I am relay learning a lot from my professors. a unique aspect of my program is that it is a joint program with a graduate degree. I would get my MBA as well along with my bachelor.
A A+F Majors: I am quite happy with my program; I will have both a bachelor degree and a masters in business once i am done with my term at Pfeiffer. If I could do anything again i would take this same program, it saves me time and money.

Bass Guitar, Guitar, Piano, Classical Guitar, Flamenco Guitar, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Percussion, Songwriting
Hello! Thank you for your interest in taking guitar/piano/music lessons.
I am a professional teacher/studio musician/performer/producer with over 17 years of private teaching experience and a graduate of the University of Miami Studio Music and Jazz program in 2002 specializing in the guitar.
I am available to teach guitar(acoustic, electric, classical) for all levels, ages, and styles(pop to folk, rock to soul, world to classical) in English, Spanish and Japanese.
Other subjects taught include bass guitar, keyboard, harmonium, classical percussion, music theory, composition(all styles from pop to classical), ear training, and studio production/engineering/mixing.
Born in Cali, Colombia on April 1979, I began my musical endeavors studying the piano at the age of 6. Early on I had the opportunity to play percussion in the school symphony while at the same time developed an intense interest in the instrument that would become my true love, the guitar.
During 1996-98 I studied jazz guitar at the New World School of the Arts music program under the direction of J.B. Dyas and Dr. Roby George. Upon graduation, I was immediately accepted to the University of Miami jazz guitar program under the direction of Randall Dollahan. It was during this time that I also refined my skills as a classical guitarist and as a composer/arranger. In addition, I began passing my knowledge onto friends and eventually began working as a teacher.
My ability to play almost any genre of music is the fruit of past experience playing with an impressive variety of music groups, including jazz combos, symphony orchestras, Andean world music ensembles, and several rock and pop groups as well. As a studio guitarist I have recorded for various artists including Jaci Velasquez, Carlos Ponce, Alexandre Pires, and Noelia.
Guitar, Piano, Singing, Music Performance, Music Recording, Music Theory, Songwriting, Organ
While most 5 year olds were singing along to silly songs, I was entranced by the tribal drumming in the Michael Jackson's "Will you be there". When most Junior High student were listening to, well, whatever made them "cool", I was thinking of what John Lennon meant in his lyrics for "Strawberry Fields Forever." I have always had a deep passion for music that goes beyond the surface. I connect with the very soul of music.
Writing my first song at the age of 7, the creative fire began to use music to express what no other form of communication could. Struggling with the limitations of my vocal abilities at the age of 16, I decided to intensify my study of the voice, taking hundreds of private lessons in such techniques as Bel Canto Vocal Technique, Speech Level Singing(TM), Progressive Vocal Techniques(TM), and others, as well as reading dozens of books and hundreds of research articles on the mechanisms of the voice. While attending (and eventually graduating from) San Diego State University with a B.A in Music, I played hundreds of live shows, most of them coming from a residency in the heart of the historic Gaslamp District of San Diego, honing my skills as a vocalist, pianist, and guitarist. On the other side of the sound board, as an engineer, I have had the opportunity to work with such greats as Jefferson Starship, Hiromi Uehara, Dave Mason among others at one of San Diego's premier live venue "Anthology."
Since starting my love for composition at 7, I continues to write and record, not only singing, but playing guitar, bass guitar, piano/keys, drums, mandolin, and harmonica, as well as producing and engineering, and mixing the session himself. I am an actively gigging musician on Vocals, Piano, Guitar and Bass.
Bass Guitar, Drum, Guitar, Music Recording
I started playing music around the Kansas City area twenty five years ago. I graduated from The University of Southern California with a degree in studio/jazz guitar (cum laude). While at USC, I received a merit scholarship and an award for professional leadership and service within her department. I also graduated with honors from Musicians Institute (GIT), of Hollywood, CA.
I have toured the U.S. and Canada playing venues such as The Portland Rose Festival, The Playboy Jazz Festival, The Santa Monica Twilight Concert Series, Irvine Lake Blues Festival,The Burnaby British Columbia Blues Festival and the Long Beach Blues Festival. The headliners at these events included Robben Ford, The Neville Brothers, and Johnny Winter.
I have released two solo CD's that have received first-rate reviews, as well as international airplay. After the second CD, I was biographied for AMG (All Music Guide) the internet's first source for music information. Here are excerpts from the AMG bio:
... there are also elements of Jimi Hendrix (arguably the first true heavy metal/hard rock artist), Jeff Beck and Stevie Ray Vaughan in her playing, and she clearly has a strong appreciation of jazz--not only jazz-rock fusion improvisers like John Scofield, Larry Coryell and Mahavishnu Orchestra founder John McLaughlin, but also, straightahead bop favorites such as Kenny Burrell, Grant Green, Wes Montgomery and Joe Pass.......eclectic outlook is one of her strong points; her ability to move from a tough, aggressive blues-rock groove to a more cerebral, fusion-minded approach to the occasional soul-jazz/hard bop number has made for some very unpredictable albums.
I have been teaching full-time for the past 13 years. I have taught all ages and popular styles. In 2008, my blues guitar method was published and distributed through Amazon.

CNC Dave | Happy Isles to Mist Trail Date Climbed: Jun 3, 2006 | |
Great hike with lots of water, wildlife, vistas, heat, mist more like torrential rain. Do this dude in May or early June for big waterfall volume. Took us about 10 hours. Take your time and enjoy all of the above. Lots of novice hikers on the dome, try to be patient. | ||

downbooties | Snake Dike Date Climbed: Oct 22, 2005 | |
I had hiked up the cable route in October 2003, but Jon and I wanted to give Snake Hike a try. It was a little crowded at the base of the 5th class climbing with one party on pitch one when we arrived and 2 parties coming up as we were waiting to begin. The party ahead of us started simul-climbing when they hit the dike and the parties below us were slower, so soon we felt like we had the place to ourselves. I lead the first pitch and Jon lead the rest because I'm still not brave enough to lead runout stuff (even at 5.2, silly me). It was a little smokey, but still some stellar views. | ||

I wanted to do the Regular route in a single push. Everything started in the Esat Buttress of El Capitan. We were planning for a 12 hour climb and we did it in 6h: we were shocked! Then we thought of doing Free Blast and happened in 6:30h. We said South face Washington's Column on a day and we will be ready for Half Dome. The Regular took us 12h. This paved the way for The Nose in a single push. | ||

MichaelJ | Snake Dike Date Climbed: Jun 1, 2005 | |
Got up before dawn to start hiking. Damien and I were the first team off the deck around (I think) 10 am. Once on the dike itself I missed the turn that Supertopo tells you not to miss and followed the obvious but wrong line until I got to a loose, skinny bolt and realized my mistake. Back on route, I found the climbing a little tedious, more like a steep hike actualy, but the view was awesome. At the last belay, I found a nice BD cam that looked like fixed gear but slid right out. Sweet. There were at least half a dozen ropes behind us on the route and half of them must have topped out after dark. We were back in the valley by 9 pm. A fun day. | ||

Been up the cables a couple of times, plan to do Snake Dike soon. A friend of ours introduced us to Half Dome in October 2003 when we had just moved to California. He said it would be something like his 10th time hiking to the top. I couldn't ever imagine doing something like that 10 times when there's so much else to do. But now I know why. Half Dome, despite the crowds, is awesome. | ||

Crazy how many people climb this mountain. The cables can be very dangerous yet all types and abilities do it. The MOST people I have ever seen hiking a mountain with me that day: hundreds! Miserable 100 degree F day, long, blah trail. Very much appreciated water at the 2 falls. Fun but careful climbing up the 45 degree slab slope for 400 feet. Good views from top. Lots of people sun tanning. | ||

Absolutely amazing views from the top! The cables were the easiest part of the whole climb the hard part was getting to them. It was a very, very long day of hiking we started at 5:00am in Curry Village. Making the whole hike approximately 19.5 miles. Great hike though, I would go back and do it in a heartbeat! | ||

Did the cables hike with my wife in 97. The best hike I have done in the world. In 99 I lead my climbing partner and his brother up Snake Dike. Felt like I was flying runout 100 feet in a strong wind. | ||

Here are some excerpts from an insensitive and poorly researched article by Deborah Tetley at The National Post (Canada):
"This is hard for us because Derek will be missed, but we feel so much grief for all those families, too," said Fay, 20.
"So, tonight we are trying to enjoy and remember Derek for the guy he was and not how he went, because we don't know that guy."
"He could finish your basement, then tune your car up and act as your hunting tour guide," said Fay. "He knew how to do everything and would do anything he could for anyone at any time. A shirt-off-his-back kind of guy. That's why none of this makes sense to us."
Here are excerpts from another insensitive and poorly researched article by Nadia Moharib at The Calgary Sun.
"Friends say he was a popular young man, the type who wouldn't even pick a fight."
"Everybody is making him out to be a villain," said a close friend who didn't want to be named out of respect to Jensen's family.
"And he's not."
Below is a blogger's empassioned, succinct and accurate response to journalistic pieces (such as those by Nadia Moharib and Deborah Tetley) that are an embarrassment to the profession. What is most frustrating about the two examples given above, is the fact that they are not only written by public educators, but by women.
"When women are murdered, the most likely perpetrator is her intimate partner. In all cases of domestic violence, women are the victims 85% of the time, and women who are killed by their spouses are most often murdered after separation. It is absolutely ridiculous to read an article about Derek Jensen being a great guy who "shockingly" murdered three people and then committed suicide. This was not a random attack, it was not a mental breakdown, it was a case of spousal violence. Jensen murdered his girlfriend and shot the three others who were with her. The article's mention of Jensen's "broken heart" is laughably irrelevant, and does not even come close to justifying his violent murder of his ex-girlfriend. Additionally, it was not a "mix of booze and rage or something" that caused Jensen commit these murders, as his close friend speculated. Call it what it was: domestic violence. Ignorantly disregarding this fact does absolutely nothing to help the thousands of Canadian women who are abused or killed by their intimate partner every year."
My thoughts on media representation of violence against women.
I guess the fact that Derek Jensen shot at four people including himself and killed three (including himself) is a minor detail to the teams at The National Post. What is this perverted obsession that media outlets have with representing CLEAR cases of stalking, partner violence and eventual murder as something random that just "makes no sense"? Are the writers of such articles ignorant? Dishonest? Stupid? All of the above? What about the editors that permit such yellow journalism to be published? What happened to their sense of duty towards the public? To educate? To present facts? Particularly on matters that affect their daughters, mothers, sisters, wives, friends and girlfriends? If you read the details of Tabitha Stepple's relationship with Derek Jensen, it becomes patently obvious (to someone who has made an effort to educate his/herself on the most pervasive kind of abuse in the entire world) that what Derek Jensen did, DID follow a pattern. It makes absolute sense that his behaviour went from controlling, abusive and threatening, to physically violent and murderous. If you don't wish to take my word for it, watch this video (and the remaining two parts). It will only take up 15 minutes of your time in total.
All the research is available yet so many individuals and media outlets are either ignorant to or deliberately misrepresenting violence against women as some "random" "inexplicable" act. Quite frankly, I can't say which is worse. Why is this happening? I think we all know why. As my husband describes it, it's the elephant in the room.
There's Lundy Bancroft's book "Why Does He Do That? Inside the Minds of Angry and Controlling Men", there's Sut Jhally's documentary "Dreamworlds 3″, there's Jackson Katz's book "The Macho Paradox" , there are his videos/documentaries such as "Tough Guise". These resources are all designed for public education. What more information do people want? Everything is a click away. How lazy and irresponsible can the media industry get? Why the hell aren't editors at The National Post and the authors of articles that are so devoid of ethics, asking themselves "WOULD I WRITE SUCH A GLOWING REPORT ABOUT THE MURDERER OF MY CHILD?" Somehow, I don't think they would.
This is not a call to start a media lynching of men who were a product of a society we all contribute to. This is a call for journalists, editors and media outlets of all kinds to do everything in their power to understand intimate partner violence since they are contributing to the education of the masses.
This post is dedicated to Tabitha Stepple. A young woman who – regardless of what the ill-informed might think or say – was blameless in her demise and the demise of her friends. This was NOT a case of "temporary insanity" or a "crime of passion". If we as a society were not so hell-bent on blaming women for all of the world's woes (including their own murder), if we were not so pig-headed and in denial about what the realities of intimate violence actually are, perhaps Tabitha and many others would be alive today.
Tabitha was a victim of not only an abusive and violent young man, but a society and culture that normalises behaviours like jealousy as expressions of "love"…and murder as an acceptable outcome of "heartbreak". Society does this through negative and inaccurate depictions of masculinity and relationships not only in movies, music videos, video games and patriarchal interpretations of religious teachings, but through irresponsible journalism. Journalism that instead of explaining the causes and solutions of violence against women, seeks to paint murderers of women as some inexplicable anomaly, a bleeding lamb that must have been wronged by women or society and is therefore justified in murdering a woman. Shame on Nadia Moharib, shame on Deborah Tetley. Shame on every journalist and media outlet that reinforces the idea that heartbreak is an acceptable reason to kill a woman. IT IS NOT. As public educators, you have a duty to know what you are talking about it before you type or publish a single word. It seems that journalists and editors will not understand the gravity of their irresponsibility unless they are unfortunate enough to be touched by the brutal violence and misery of intimate partner violence that Tabitha's family and friends have had to endure. I would never wish that upon my worst enemy.
It is time for the widespread ignorance and denial on the subject of intimate violence to be formally addressed and it's time for us to educate ourselves on the most pervasive form of abuse and violence of our times. No-one else is going to do it for us.
Further information: For those who would like an example of responsible journalism on the subject of intimate partner abuse and violence, here is an excellent example, by Joanne Richard at the Winnepeg Sun.
"Rethinking Charm" by Lundy Bancroft. Bancroft comments on Facebook "Charming people tend to be instantly appealing, but as often as not, they are trouble. Here's why."

It was called miracle on the Hudson three years ago US Airways Airbus and a flock of birds and had to make an emergency landing just six minutes after take off.
The pilot captain Sully Sullenberger ditched the airplane on the Hudson in New York saving the lives of -- 155.
Passengers and crew joining me now is the author of making a difference -- stories of visions and courage from America's leaders captain Sully Sullenberger and and of I've just tell you my son is a commercial airline filed my oldest son and he told me to tell -- think Q.
From the pilots out there the pilot community for pushing.
Four more hours minimum hours for pilots safeties you push in the airline.
RS rules I -- the it -- please tell him beat me.
But my first officer on the flight -- -- -- not done yet there's still much work to be done and we feel real obligation.
Since we have this attention to use it for good.
Well and that's the amazing part is dead.
First of all -- you planning on retiring or once all this after you just -- by -- -- No I've I was gonna have to work -- my life like all my other colleagues I mean I've read Ulster pensions.
And in our priorities straight I'd take a 40% -- Jeff took a 60% pay cut.
But after this happened I -- another year.
But tonight I was able to -- latest based upon my life experience and -- -- a consultant and a speaker -- an -- to do to make a change your profession it's.
-- you to change of professions I mean it was it's pretty amazing and pat how or how is it.
How are you handling this -- -- is dramatic oh you went from a guy.
That's slug it out every day out their flying these airlines around bidding every month for your schedule to now you're rubbing elbows with the the movers and shakers in this country.
Literally in there in the book yeah I mean who knew not and 100 normal lifetime -- that he's -- -- one of these things have happened.
But the way that I live my life it turned -- -- been a preparation -- for that flight before.
This public that -- -- and after in the book is about leadership and you've got some great people each chapters about a different person yes sent in their leadership steel -- and -- and then when I asked also yes.
That I could talk to them and -- picked their brains on what they had done to be so successful and touched so many lives and so I when I heard the -- I knew I had to put them on the page and share them.
What Andy but but then then you -- finally down to the part about you know very little about you but -- back their way in the back.
About you air force academy you -- all the years of flying and so forth.
Came to fruition on that on that fateful day.
I have to ask you when you -- played that in your head.
And I know I know air traffic control said you want teeter -- I look at the map and I look at where you landed I look at Peterborough do you ever think maybe they should have gone to -- call no absolutely not but.
We know we couldn't have made it and that they would be part of the national proficiency to -- active investigation was to to.
-- these things out and do the math and see -- -- -- -- that you didn't -- -- -- -- that the fact that Jeff and I got so much so right so quickly on those conditions as the real testament to our training and our experience.
And had quite frankly I had I had first officer who didn't also have 20000 hours and had been -- before.
Because the work flow was so extreme and I didn't have time to direct his actions we could events and not come but now no we we -- for a fact now that.
But the option that we chose the Hudson was the only viable one that we that we could not have made it to a -- Lot of people talk about.
Trying to get the airports safer from the birds but you were.
You you weren't at the airport you weren't -- were for five miles away almost 3000 feet that hit a flock of my -- are you gonna get birds out of the -- that way.
It's a difficult problem there are some experimental high frequency radars that can detect birds -- a certain race of the airport but that you had to have them.
The solve the problem solved -- how do you get that information quickly to the cockpit useful form.
But what we do know for sure in this.
Difficult problem assaulting the bird -- issue is that the one thing we must do is not put near airports anything that's likely to attract birds.
And unfortunately right now in New York that's happening actually under construction is a waste transfer facility that's only 2200.
From one of the busiest airports witnessed by LaGuardia LaGuardia yes and you've been working on that yes so what do you what what your day now like you did start way too early you know it's way too late and in my free time -- have teenage daughters.
Follow up analyst and author speaker consultant for -- industry and I -- CBS news aviation safety expert but.
You know -- Jeff and -- both feel real passion about all these things that we care about our whole lives and and much of that is in the book and so it was a natural fit for me.
Since I've been working on leadership and trying to be -- -- a better leader every week a flying at the airline -- Often having -- crew with.
We've never met before and we are trying to very quickly form a team and work together and critical way -- -- -- like the Hudson River landing had to happen on the very first flight we can handle it successfully.
And so.
And talking to admiral Thad Allen who.
Was brought in to fix the Katrina response and that it brilliantly or Tony Russo who led.
His team to a World Series win or Michelle Rhee who is trying to revamp education or.
Or another name that when you haven't heard -- -- and a mom of two from Boise Idaho was -- -- to preventable medical tragedies.
But became a world renowned patient safety advocate -- has actually improved.
The nature of care we give newborns globally so these these stories all share common themes that we bring into focus.
Being willing to -- serve a cause greater than yourself.
And I noticed you did not have any airline management examples.
While you have a CEO Jim Sinegal of Costco cost them -- I -- -- yeah analog -- about as a result -- thought I wanna get to the airline business because one of the things about it.
Is that it seems like there's been for a long time is that labor management relationships.
In airlines is.
Horrible and it's a shame it does one have to be that way just always that way.
Do you know which is the most heavily unionized airline in existence in this country southwest southwest yeah net seems.
Paradoxical doesn't because they are very they're probably -- a very profitable consistently they have -- great corporate culture right they've had great leadership.
From the very outset and that culture that was created the opinions at the outset has survived the initial leaders and it and it's for provided.
An environment in which people can do their best work which -- can collaborate in which management and partners are real management and labor really effective partners.
So it's it's -- leadership and culture issue for most companies and not just in the airlines but in every organization and so that's again part of the message of the book.
And I think the take away for the reader is even if you don't have a big -- -- fancy title.
That there are ways that we can improve our lives be more successful more fulfilled at work or school or home.
There's always things -- people can learn to do and do better.
Jeff Skiles peace -- still flying.
-- he came back to work that at the airline as I did -- but about two years ago when I retired Jeff took a leave of absence.
He's now working for -- AA that big gave delegation -- in the light Israel's organization as a vice president.
And he also is a great speaker and does a lot of work and safety of -- -- on the country and so we're very proud of him.
He's got -- another career right now he's but it still on the leave of absence from the airline.
Get -- murder always.
