C A+F Campus Housing: Dorms are old. Water heaters went out a lot. Dorms are close to everything.
B A+F Campus Housing: I really like living in the dorms. Because there's nothing else ever going on around campus, most people just hang out with friends and have movie nights in their rooms. The RAs are super cool. The kitchens are nice, and there are two huge lobbies. The study rooms are nice but don't have doors, so that's not really helpful. Also, there is curfew at midnight Sunday-Thursday which is awful. I have been woken up many times when my RA checks curfew, which is not okay. That would be the major downside.
C A+F Campus Housing: Cost too much especially for freshman dorms being so small but it's really close to classes. 5 min walk max
B A+F Campus Housing: Dorms seem overpriced, but the social atmosphere and close proximity to campus is worth it.
A A+F Campus Housing: Living on campus is great. Everything is close by. Classes, cafeteria. I have everything I need here on campus. It's awesome.

Tara Subkoff Easy Spirit Suede Pumps
Filed under: Shoes
Even when we first heard that designer Tara Subkoff was teaming up with Easy Spirit to inject some trendiness into a brand long known for putting comfort ahead of everything else, we had our reservations. It sounded promising, but would the shoes stack up to other designer footwear? It appears that they do. These Suede Pumps are as fashion forward as any other pumps in stores this season, with the added bonus that they're still very comfortable. The platform heels are 4 3/4-in. high, including a 1 1/2-in. platform, and are covered in soft suede. They are available in red, grey or black. Price $430.

MEADVILLE, Pa.—A second of four defendants accused of having killed a man at his northwestern Pennsylvania home has pleaded guilty to third-degree murder as part of an agreement with prosecutors.
Nineteen-year-old Brandon Tracy of Titusville also pleaded guilty Friday in Crawford County Court to conspiracy in the August 2011 shooting death of 46-year-old Ronald Shreffler in Summerhill Township. Prosecutors said he and three other defendants planned to rob the victim.
Tracy said he was forced to shoot the victim by 19-year-old Austin Taylor, who awaits sentencing after pleading guilty to third-degree murder.
Defense attorney Stephen Misko told the Meadville Tribune that he and his client aren't "overly happy" with the agreed-upon sentence of 25 to 50 years, but it will allow Tracy to "make something out of his life" someday.

Federal Parent PLUS Loans
When parents want to help finance a child's education, there is no easier way than a Federal Parent Loan for Undergraduate Students (PLUS). Federal PLUS Loans are not based on need but rather parents' creditworthiness. Federal PLUS Loans are disbursed directly to the school, generally in two installments.
Parents of eligible undergraduate students, meeting the requirement set forth by the U.S. Department of Education, are eligible for the Federal PLUS Loan.
Federal PLUS Loans enable parents with good credit histories to borrow up to the cost of education minus financial aid received.
Parents pay a four percent processing fee which is deducted proportionately each time a loan payment is made. The interest rate is variable, but it will never exceed nine percent. Generally, repayment begins within 60 days after the final loan disbursement for the academic year. There is no grace period for PLUS loans. This means interest begins to accumulate at the time the first disbursement is made.
To apply for a Federal PLUS loan, go to Plus on the Web.

Old. This thing is ugly as sin.
Right there with ya, buddy. The site is slow, it's ugly, and just in general disorganized.

Iowa woman pleads guilty after 15 dead cats found
STORM LAKE (AP) — A woman in northwest Iowa has pleaded guilty to animal neglect charges after 15 dead cats were found in a Storm Lake home.
The Sioux City Journal reports authorities arrested Dawn Williams on Saturday while they responded to a possible burglary report at the home.
Police say that's when they discovered the skeletal remains of 15 cats along with a large amount of feces. Police say Williams locked the cats inside the house about six months ago.

Boys basketball preview story: Timberline's talented junior still growing -- on and off the court -- and NCAA Division I schools are taking notice
Here are the league-by-league outlooks and capsules for 4A and 3A Narrows League, 2A Evergreen Conference, 1A Southwest Washington Evergreen Division and B schools.
4A Narrows League
Crystal Ball
(2011-12 records in parentheses)
1. Olympia (20-6)
2. Bellarmine Prep (24-5)
3. South Kitsap (11-10)
4. Central Kitsap (14-9)
5. Stadium (3-17)
6. Gig Harbor (11-12)
7. Yelm (3-17)*
* In Class 3A
G Riley Callaghan, 6-0, jr., South Kitsap
Not the quickest guy, but always seems to stay one step ahead of defenders
G Eric Anderson-Connolly,6-3, sr., Stadium
Heady point guard ran on same AAU team with Bellarmine Prep clan
F Sefo Liufau, 6-4, sr., Bellarmine Prep
Committed to Colorado for football, a tough competitor who will sometimes need to play point forward
F Lucas Meikle, 6-8, sr., Bellarmine Prep
Breakthrough junior year landed Meikle a scholarship to Gonzaga
F Brendan Leonard. 6-8, sr., Olympia
Great hands in the post, but doesnt hesitate to jump out and shoot from long range
Fastbreaks: Olympias roster runs big. Four players Brendan Leonard, Michael Champlin, Lewis Faller and Ben Bishop are 6-foot-7 or taller. Few teams have had answers to the Bears size in the paint. Newcomer Louis Johnson, a sophomore, is averaging a team-best 13.3 points and 7.2 rebounds a game and senior point guard Michael Naipo is averaging 8.5 assists per game. The past three seasons, the 4A Narrows League MVP has been from Olympia (Alex Weber-Brader, 2009-10 and 2010-11; Dominick Francks, 2011-12). Bellarmine Prep, the 4A state runner-up, has the talent to make another deep postseason run. Lucas Meikle is a prototypical power forward who can step out and shoot the 3-pointer. Yelm, new to Class 4A, is young (just three seniors) and has a guard-heavy squad. Trey Friend and Dale Sullivan have led the Tornados in scoring.
3A Narrows League
Crystal Ball
(2011-12 records in parentheses)
1. Lincoln (18-8)
2. Foss (16-8)
3. Timberline (7-12)
4. Wilson (20-4)
5. Mount Tahoma (5-15) *
6. North Thurston (17-9) #
7. Shelton (2-18) *
* In Class 4A
# In Class 2A
G Ahmaad Rorie,5-11, jr., Lincoln
Clover Park transfer and Cal commit will help the Abes make a deep postseason run
G Ivy Smith Jr., 5-8, so., Wilson
Next in a strong run of point guards; leader of seven underclassmen who will see regular playing time
G/F Donaven Dorsey, 6-6, jr., Timberline
Growth spurt means multi-talented guard will see time at every position; has offers from multiple NCAA Division I schools
F TreShaun Fletcher, 6-5, sr., Lincoln
Signed to Colorado, Fletcher is a shooter and distributor from the wing; hes reigning co-3A Narrows MVP
F Dezmyn Trent, 6-4, sr., Foss
Multi-talented wing with an ultra-competitive side, he can dominate in many ways
Fastbreaks: The league welcomes three teams from two different classifications, and the Tacoma schools will have a big say in the playoff picture. Lincoln, Foss and Wilson have swept the playoff spots the past two seasons. With the addition of Ahmaad Rorie, a Clover Park transfer and Cal commit, the Abes are an overwhelming favorite to claim the 3A Narrows crown. Timberline, led by first-year coach and River Ridge High School graduate Allen Thomas, has a lot of first-year varsity players, but returns two starters (Dorsey and Tyler Gartner). Dorsey, at 6-foot-6, has grown five inches since his freshman season and already has attracted multiple NCAA Division I offers. North Thurston will be young and inexperienced with Tru Hicks being the lone returning starter from a team that shared the league crown with River Ridge a season ago. Sophomore guard Braden Rushton already is averaging a team-best 10.2 points per game. Del Sandberg takes over at Shelton, and says his team is expected to be much improved with Colton Hubble and Dakota Andrews as the Highclimbers playmakers.
2A Evergreen Conference
Crystal Ball
(2011-12 records in parentheses)
1. River Ridge (15-9)
2. Capital (11-10) *
3. W.F. West (13-9)
4. Centralia (6-13)
5. Tumwater (11-12)
6. Aberdeen (7-13)
7. Black Hills (10-11)
* In Class 3A
G Brad Wallace, 6-0, sr., River Ridge
Reigning EvCo MVP (20.3 ppg last season) will carry the Hawks on his back
G David Cooper, 6-3, so., Tumwater
Has the size of a post player, but speed and skills of a guard creates many matchup problems
G Keenan Williams, 6-2, sr., Capital
Great long-range shooter who can also crash the boards; foes often put their best defender on him
G Jared Eidenmuller, 5-10, sr., Capital
Point guard fuels the offense and is relentless on defense; scored a season-high 29 in EvCo opener
W Brock Wade, 6-3, sr., W.F. West
Three-time, first-team all-EvCo player had 46 points in a summer tournament game in Kelso
Fastbreaks: The strength of the 2A Evergreen Conference? Its guards. Four returning starters were all-league honorees a season ago. The league title runs through River Ridge, which has either shared or won the league crown outright every year since 2007. Former Evergreen coach and defensive guru John Barbee takes over a guard-heavy roster, led by Wallace, a four-year varsity player. Two Hawks have put up 30-plus point games (Wallace and Kesean Coleman, who had a career-high 32 in a 63-61 win over Decatur). W.F. West will go as far as senior Brock Wade cam take the Bearcats. Wade, who has had a double-digit scoring average throughout high school, could finish as a four-time, first-team all-league player. Capital enters the 2A Evergreen Conference under first-year coach Dave Mastin looking for its first postseason date since the 2009-10 season. Keenan Williams and Jared Eidenmuller (15.5 ppg in 2011-12) provide much of the Cougars offense. In a 69-49 loss to Olympia, Williams scored all of Capitals first-quarter points on six 3-pointers. Centralia is a team that could make a surprise run. The Tigers put up 104 points against R.A. Long, setting a school-record with 10 3-pointers from Maxx Waring. Tumwater is getting into the groove of the season with many players joining late after the football teams playoff run. Expect big scoring numbers from sophomore David Cooper and junior Josiah Warner. Dont sleep on Aberdeen under second-year coach Leonard Barnes. While the Bobcats have suffered five early season losses, once the second half of the season comes around, they could make a push for a playoff spot. Jeff Gallagher takes over a youthful Black Hills team where the Wolves are getting big production from 6-foot-6 forward Jacob Burgess, who has put together 30- and 25-point games thus far.
1A Southwest Washington Evergreen Division
Crystal Ball
(2011-12 records in parentheses)
1. Hoquiam (12-9)
2. Forks (13-9)
3. Tenino (10-12)
4. Montesano (12-8)
5. Rochester (3-15)
6. Elma (9-11)
7. Rainier (6-14)
G Devante Harris, 5-9, sr., Tenino
Lightning-quick point guard is closing in on 1,000 career points
G Ronnie Espedal, 5-10, sr., Hoquiam
League defensive MVP in football has proven to be a lethal long-range shooter
W Braden Decker, 6-3, sr., Forks
The Spartans will go as far as the reigning league MVP can take them
G/F Tyler Gedney,5-11, jr., Rochester
Warriors top returning scorer (11 ppg) often plays bigger than his size
F Cole Smith, 6-6, sr., Hoquiam
Big target in the paint for the Grizzlies; also an all-league tight end
Fastbreaks: Hoquiam big? Thats a big understatement. Four players, led by Cole Smith at 6-foot-6, are 6-foot-3 or taller and this could be the Grizzlies year to get into the 1A state tournament. Tenino has a wealth of varsity experience, which should help the Beavers in big-time games. Devante Harris is a four-year varsity player who has led the team in scoring the past two years. Seniors Ben Peterson and Justin Conklin got on a hot streak last season in the playoffs averaging 13.5 points and 11 points per game, respectively. What Rochester lacks in full-time varsity starters, it makes up with overall experience. Tyler Gedney is coach Mark Goldricks only full-time starter returning for the Warriors, but Colton Smith and Aaron Blanchard played meaningful minutes in part-time starting roles. It is a junior-by-committee for Elma with eight juniors on the roster five of them starters. It will be a rebuilding year for Rainier as Onalaska native Kyle Stanley takes over as head coach. The Mountaineers will rely heavily on their defense and junior guard Zach Froembling on the offensive end.
Class 2B
Northwest Christian Navigators
Coach: Rick Fox (fourth season)
2011-12: 14-10 overall, advanced to 2B District IV tournament
Key players: C Kenton Boogard, jr.; F Austin Koukal, sr.; G Aaron Fox, jr.; G Elijah Shoffner, sr.
Outlook: With all their inexperience, it could take time for the Navigators to heat up. Once they do, they could climb the ranks in the Pacific 2B League. Koukal, who averaged 6.5 points per game as a sophomore, already leads the team in scoring at 15.3 points and 5.0 rebounds a game.

Despite a five-week drubbing over her claims to Native American heritage, the Democratic Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren remains neck and neck with Republican US Senator Scott Brown as she heads into Saturday's state party convention, a new Globe poll shows. But there are signs that the controversy has wounded the first-time candidate, whose entrance into the race came with a star power that galvanized Democrats and catapulted the contest into one of the most closely watched in the nation.

Just got my two bottles of Lean Extreme, I am so excited to toss this into my stack when I cut for the summer. I also want to use a non-stim fat burner such as PES's Shift. What sort of schedule should I adopt when dosing these two. Side note: I will be using Glycobol as well but that is self explanatory.
Do I need to does apart from each other? Ive never used a cortisol controlling agent before.
Much thanks in advance for everybody's great reviews and helpful comments in here.

He explains it at the end of the song. He says he's talking to himself in the song is the way i understood it. Anxious to see how wrong i am now though. LOL.
I know the second verse hes talking from Scarecrows side. I think the first verse is about Bell Bakarii (sure I spelled it wrong) and third is Don Juan. Not positive though.

I have read through all the post and I will just post what worked for me..
Problem as listed above No Gateway Server provider Bell Canada Router info
I went to the modem settings from putting my I.P in the browser and hitting enter.
In my Router info page I went to HOME NETWORK/WIRESLESS SETTINGS (EDIT SETTINGS)
the 2 key ones that got me connected was WIRELESS channel @ AUTO and AUTHENTICATION at WPA-PSK
and man this thing is FAST~~!!!!!! And who to blame this on I think both NOKIA & 2WIRE
This worked for me guys and I did not have to disable any security settings.
thanks for reading

Hi, I had the same problems, and kept trying all these tips for about five hours before I gave up. I have a Thomson router, and tried various settings. No problems with four-five different laptops, only my N71. I was mad.
The next day I found and old (and really cheap) Netgear router which I connected to the internet. My N71 had no problems what so ever to connect to this one. So, for me the problem was that N71 didn't work at all with my Thomson Speedtouch 585i V6, but Netgear Wgr614 v9 is no problem.
I find it really strange that Nokia didn't manage to make N71 compatible with Thomson, but hope all you guys having problems with your wlan can avoid this brand if you want to use N71.
Anders (Norway)
BTW: when I did a spell check of this post, "Nokia" was a unknown word LOL
2009-07-07 20:48
I connect to tiscali broadband at home but with a hard wire modem.
I recently purchased an E71 and decided to see if my thomson wireless router which I never used would work with WLAN.
I enter the WPA PSK code no problem the browser then reverts to a tiscali/thomson page asking to "log in as a more privaliged user", which asks for a username and password. Tried my current broadband log-in details but no joy !
Any ideas?
2009-07-08 12:13
this type of error message comes only when the router is not allowing the handset to access it. when the authentication fails the router rejects the request and we get the error message as "no gateway reply"
to solve this try the following
2009-07-12 18:06
again I will strongly advise you to don't use Thomson routers. I tried for five hour with my Thomson router, did change every setting both at the router and E71 without sucsess. I also called Nokia help line, and they didn't have any other solution than to avoid Thomson. So I did, and with a Netgear is just as easy as connecting a laptop. It took two seconds

NORTH ADAMS -- As a recovering addict, Brandy Whipple knows how easy it is to obtain prescription drugs and how hard the road to recovery can be for those in the Berkshires.
Whipple shared her story, describing the desperation of an addict and the challenges faced by those trying to recover, during a forum on prescription drug abuse held by the Northern Berkshire Community Coalition on Friday at the First Baptist Church.
"For 15 years I was addicted to prescription drugs, beginning when I was 14 years old," she said. "I learned at a very young age how to 'doctor shop.' I learned how to go from one doctor to another for a prescription. I had five doctors prescribing me the same medication over a seven-month period."
But recovery isn't easy, she said, pointing to six-hour waiting periods in local emergency rooms, transportation issues for those trying to attend detox and recovery programs in Pittsfield, and a lack of recovery information for addicts and families.
"When we ask for help, it's like surrender," she said. "You just want someone to take over and tell you what to do because you're at your wit's end."
Whipple is just one of the many recovering prescription drug addicts in Northern Berkshire, where abuse of prescribed opiates, depressants, stimulants and the street drug heroin has increased dramatically over the last 15 years.
"In 1996, there were 500,000 opiate doses filled in Berkshire County," said Lois Daunis, grants manager and prevention coordinator for the Northern Berkshire Community Co alition. "Fast forward 15 years to 2011 and we have four million opiate doses filled. So a lot more prescribing is going on out there. That number reduces in Berkshire County to that fact that [every resident] has had access to 32 doses."
Heroin use, in the wake of prescription drug abuse addiction, has "skyrocketed" during the same time period, she said.
"The big question we want to answer today is where do we, as a regional community, go from here?" she said.
Before trying to address the forum's major focus, the group of about 118 people heard from local social service agencies and law enforcement who deal with the issue on a daily basis.
"This is truly an epidemic," said North Adams Police Det. John LeClair, who also works with the Berkshire County Drug Task Force. "This isn't just something we see once a week. We're putting in hours and hours every week. What are we seeing? It is a cross section of our community. It isn't just our preconceived notions of drug users and this is where they live. This is our neighbors, our friends, our kids who are put up on pedestals -- kids who people think are never going to do anything wrong. They are the captains of our sports teams, our valedictorians."
Part of the problem is availability of prescription drugs on the street, he said. Addiction to prescription drugs most times leads to criminal activity, as the individual strives to pay for the drugs.
"Where does that money come from when you're unemployed or need to pay the bills?" LeClair asked. "Eventually it isn't about getting high; it's about not getting sick. Most of the time, people turn to crime. We just had a vacant house stripped of all its copper on Monday."
He said many addicts also turn to a much cheaper solution: Heroin. Heroin can turn a user into a dealer, as the addict finds selling to friends a viable means of supporting his or her own habit.
State Police Lt. Brian Foley, who works with the drug task force, said a major part of the problem is the push from big pharmaceutical companies for doctors to prescribe these types of drugs and an increase in area physicians and mental health practitioners readily handing out the prescriptions.
"We need them to slow down on the over-prescription of these drugs," he said. "They've already created this epidemic. This isn't the drug cartels. The ease of getting prescription drugs created the need for opiates. When that happened, the drug cartels started pumping in heroin."
Deborah Durant, director of emergency services at North Adams Regional Hospital, said physicians in her department do prescribe "a lot of pain medication," but are often bound to do so by federal regulations that require the staff to ask about pain levels. Federal reimbursements are also tied to patient satisfaction surveys, which include whether a patient's pain was treated to their satisfaction.
Cheryl Campbell, a program manager for the state Department of Health's Division of Health Care Safety and Quality, said that as of January 1, every doctor in the state will be required to cross-reference every new patient in a state-wide database to see if that patient is already being treated by another doctor. However, she said ensuring that doctors use the system isn't as easy as it sounds.
While those in attendance agreed there is no simple solution to the epidemic of drug abuse in North Berkshire, many had suggestions on how to curb the growing numbers.
Ideas included a "palm card" with a list of detox and recovery options, which isn't available to law enforcement or hospitals at this time; advocating for more beds in local recovery programs; volunteers to sit with addicts in emergency rooms; creating more community education opportunities about prescription abuse; and putting needle collection bins in places other than police stations.
"I think it's pretty clear there is no silver bullet, no one solution to these issues," state Sen. Benjamin Downing, D-Pittsfield, said. "The best thing to do is to continue the conversation. What can help me, in my world, and the Berkshire delegation is a list of what are the most pressing and priority needs. We can help by convening the actors at the table."

Couldn't the Red Sox claim they had no knowledge of such a deal? If I'm the Red Sox I would stay as far away from this as possible. They can assume there will be money changing hands but as soon as they get involved they've got mud on their hands.
You would weigh all of the facts and circumstances to determine if the transaction: (1) $42 million to Seibu; (2) $10 million from Seibu to Matsuzaka, was in reality (1) $32 million to Seibu; and (2) $10 million from the Red Sox to Matsuzaka. This is determination is why there are lawyers and courts.

- Much easier to use than my current board. Matched with my XT60 pigtail it is easier to fit everything hooked up in the LiPo bag.
- Nice quality, well built, worked perfectly.
- Very good product and very fast shipping
- Can't beat the quality .
- I couldn't have made these for this price and if I did, they wouldn't have come out this nice. Quality piece! Just wished it would plug straight into my 4010duo so I could eliminate the balance board all together.
- This is my second of these cables. Great value and they work fantastic.
- Fast shipping, great deal - another outstanding purchase from PRC. Thanks guys!
- I have been a customer since 2008 and keep coming, outstanding products and service
- This item is perfect when charging on the field. The Parallel (6x) Balance Adapter is a need when charging from the battery tray. It gives you the flexibility to move around and connect the two packs (Trex 700E) without damaging the battery balance cables. The Quality, gauge of the cables and finishing of the adapter is excellent.

Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission 1111 Israel Road S.W., P.O. Box 42650, Olympia, WA 98504-2650, (360) 902-8500 Don Hoch, Director
How should the park system change?
OLYMPIA – May 11, 2012 – Should the State Parks system operate more like an enterprise-based hospitality industry, a public conservation asset based mostly on grant and tax funding – or perhaps a system of parks freely standing as community non-profit entities? What do people love about their park system, and what improvements need to be made? These and other questions will be considered and discussed as part of a broad public outreach effort by Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission staff. Ideas are being sought through e-mail and in meetings with legislators, stakeholders and in public meetings scheduled around the state in May and June. Information gathered will be used to create a transformation strategy that will guide the park system through the next five years and beyond. The strategic transformation plan is to be used as a successor plan to the State Parks Centennial 2013 Plan, which provided guidance for parks improvements during the past 10 years. At the public meetings, parks staff will present the "state of state parks" and ask for ideas and comments about three "thematic alternative" visions for the future. Each of the "themes" will be explored by using a local park as an example. Participants at each meeting will have an opportunity to discuss the themes and share their ideas. Attendance is free, and a Discover Pass is not required to attend meetings held at a state park. As the process moves forward, public comments, questions and suggestions received about the future of Washington State Parks will be made available online at www.parks.wa.gov/Beyond2013/. Public meeting locations, dates and times are as follows: • Tri Cities: 7 to 8:30 p.m. May 17 Columbia Basin College 2600 N. 20th Ave. Building A, room A126 Pasco, WA 99301 • Spokane: 3:30 to 5 p.m. May 19 (focus on Riverside State Park) and 6 – 7:30 p.m. May 21 (focus on Mount Spokane State Park) Spokane Public Library Shadle Branch W. 2111 Wellesley Ave. Spokane, WA 99205 • Central and East Wenatchee: 7 to 8:30 p.m. May 22 Washington State Parks Eastern Region Headquarters 270 Ninth Street N.E.

Washington Ave. Burlington, WA 98233 • Chinook: 6:30 to 8 p.m. June 14 Fort Columbia State Park Theater 475 Highway 101 Chinook, WA 98638 Individuals, groups and organizations wishing to join an e-mail list for updates on the planning process are invited to use the following contact information: • E-mail: firstname.lastname@example.com • Phone: (360) 902-8504 and ask for Strategic Planning • Mail: Washington State Parks, Strategic Planning, P.O. Box 42650, Olympia, WA 98504-2650 Stay connected to your state parks by following Washington State Parks at www.facebook.com/WashingtonStateParks, www.twitter.com/WaStatePks_NEWS and www.youtube.com/WashingtonStateParks. The Commission manages a diverse system of more than 100 state parks and recreation programs, including long-distance trails, boating safety and winter recreation. The 99-year-old park system will celebrate its 100th anniversary in 2013. For more information on Centennial 2013, visit www.parks.wa.gov/Centennial2013.

True Redemption
Posted by MK | Filed under Books, Theology
The following is excerpted from my book, Wednesdays Were Pretty Normal: A Boy, Cancer, and God:
Redemption doesn't mean you stand in triumph over your circumstances. And it doesn't mean that the "new" makes you forget about everything that happened in the "old" (although in heaven someday these light and momentary afflictions will pale in comparison). Redemption is about the confidence that God is bringing good out of the bad, prosperity out of desolation. God's not interested in evening things out; He's interested in taking those things which are so painful, earth- shattering, and devastating and turning them into marks of His goodness and kindness.
Moses was a shepherd for forty years, but God redeemed his experience in the desert. He gained a knowledge of the land that would be vital because he spent the next forty years leading the children of Israel through the same desert. David spent his childhood learning how to defend sheep with meager weapons. God redeemed his defensive skills as he shepherded the people of Israel, slaying giants with small stones. Luke had an obsessively ordered and detailed mind, but God redeemed it, enabling him to record in a logical way the ministry of Christ and the early church. Paul spent years studying and memorizing the Torah, and God redeemed that knowledge as he became an apologist in the midst of Jews and Gentiles alike.
We often think God is in the business of swooping down and plucking us out of our circumstances. He rescues us to be sure—from sin and death and hopelessness. But His rescue incorporates those sad, tragic, devastating circumstances we want, in the moment, to see removed. In redemption God takes the shattered blocks of our lives and slowly, methodically, but faithfully, puts them back together in a way we couldn't have imagined at first. In the end there is something new and different, and yet it's made up of those same pieces of life that once looked so broken on the ground.
Get your Kindle edition of the book here, currently on sale for $2.99.

Objective: To investigate the attitudes among mental health professionals regarding the use of genetic testing. Methods: Psychiatrists and other mental health professionals (N=41) who were enrolled in a week-long course in psychiatric genomics completed questionnaires before and after the course designed to assess how diagnostic genetic tests should be used and the value of pharmacogenomic testing for clinical practice. Results: Only 5% of the course participants knew their genotype for the CYP 2D6 and CYP 2C19 genes at the time they participated in the course. However, after completing the course, 95% of the participants who had not been tested responded that they would be tested if genotyping was provided at no cost. Most of the participants reported that adults have the right to know their genotypes. Specifically, a majority of participants also reported that adults should have access to information regarding their genetic predispositions to both Huntington's disease and Alzheimer's disease. A majority of participants believed that parents had the right to know the genotypes of their children and that adolescents should have access to their genotypes if they had parental permission or were emancipated minors. However, only 29% of participants reported that children ages 6 to 12 should have access to the results of their genotyping. Conclusion: Continuing medical educational programs can provide an effective and informative opportunity to develop a better understanding of contemporary perspectives of practicing clinicians. Despite some variability in beliefs regarding the implications of age and diagnosis for making genetic testing decisions, a majority of course participants reported that they would choose to be genotyped for two drug metabolizing enzyme genes. Furthermore, they felt that, in most circumstances, adults should be permitted to know their genotype.
Educational initiatives for practicing psychiatrists must be developed to ensure their competence in the application of genetic testing. While pharmacogenomic probe studies are leading to the safer and more effective use of psychiatric drugs, for patients to benefit from this research requires that clinicians learn how to appropriately use pharmacogenomic testing.
The Psychiatric Genomics Course at the Mayo Clinic was developed in 2002 to update both practicing psychiatrists and psychiatric residents on the clinical implications of recent genomic research. The annual course consists of 34 hours of CME credit and is given over the course of 5 days. The course begins with the first day devoted to a review of basic molecular genetics and progresses to systematically define how genetic variation is associated with psychiatric diagnosis and treatment. On the second day, the course highlights psychiatric pharmacogenomic research that provides the evidence base for the prediction of antidepressant and antipsychotic drug responses using clinical genotyping. Pharmacogenomic testing is one of the first illustrations of the clinical utility of genomic research for psychiatric practice. On the morning of the third day, the genetics of the major psychiatric illnesses are systematically presented while the afternoon is devoted to visiting the clinical molecular genetics laboratory and learning about genomic web sites using our computer laboratories. On the fourth day, the genomics of eating disorders, addictive disorders, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder, and autism are covered, and a series of clinical cases are discussed with a focus on relevant ethical issues. At the course dinner that evening, the results of the post-course questionnaire are explored using an audience interactive methodology that allows participants to easily express their opinions anonymously and have the results immediately shown on a screen for the group to discuss. The final morning of the course is devoted to the presentation of new research findings and to the consideration of the implications of new technologies for clinical practice.
The current study was designed to investigate prevailing attitudes toward genetic testing among mental health professionals taking the course in order to better understand possible barriers that might negatively influence the adoption of new genomic technologies. The goal was to use a novel strategy for assessing professional opinion by incorporating systematic inquiry directly within the context of a continuing education program.
The primary goal of the Psychiatric Genomics Course is to teach the basic principles of genomic technology to psychiatrists and other mental health professionals. However, the course also provides an opportunity to explore current attitudes about the uses of genetic testing in providing care to patients. Participants (N=41) of the 2005 course completed both pre- and post-course questionnaires designed to investigate attitudes about the value and appropriate use of clinical genotyping. The pre-course questionnaire collected information about the participants, whether they had been genotyped, and their opinions about clinical genetic testing. The post-course questionnaire evaluated their opinions about clinical genetic testing after participating in the course. Participants were aged between 30 and 85 with a mean age of 52.5 years. There were 16 women and 25 men. Participants were primarily psychiatrists or other physicians interested in psychiatric diagnosis and treatment (see Table 1). The religious affiliations of participants are listed in Table 2.
The questionnaires contained 13 multiple-choice questions designed to address three conceptual issues. The first set of questions assessed the perceived value of pharmacogenomic testing. The second set of questions assessed attitudes about how pre-symptomatic and diagnostic genetic tests should be used. The third set of questions assessed attitudes about the age at which genetic information should be shared with children and adolescents. The survey questions are listed in Table 3.
The 2D6 gene and the 2C19 gene code for two enzymes in the cytochrome P450 family. These enzymes are involved in the metabolism of many psychotropic medications (1). Only 5% of participants knew their 2D6 or 2C19 genotype at the time that they took the course. However, by the end of the course, a majority of participants (59%) replied that they would be willing to pay for 2D6 and 2C19 genotyping at the current cost of $375. Most of participants (95%) who did not know their genotype responded that they would choose to be tested if the genotyping was available at no cost through participation in a research project.
Two series of scenarios were presented in which a patient requests that he or she be genotyped. The first series of questions addressed Huntington's disease and the second series addressed Alzheimer's disease. Participants were asked to decide whether the physician should order the test that the patient had requested.
Given that the gene that causes Huntington's disease is virtually completely penetrant, identification of aberrant forms of the gene indicate that a patient will eventually develop the disease in his later years if he lives long enough. In each of the three Huntington's disease scenarios, the maternal grandmother of the patient had been diagnosed with Huntington's disease and the mother of the patient had decided that she did not want to be genotyped for the huntingtin gene. These three scenarios all address one specific ethical issue. If the patient tests positive for an aberrant form of the huntingtin gene, this outcome would reveal that her mother also must have this aberrant form of the gene and that she too will ultimately develop Huntington's disease.
In the first scenario, the patient is 25 years old and would like to tell her fiancé if she is predisposed to the illness. Over 80% of participants thought that, under these circumstances, it was appropriate for the physician of this patient to order the test.
In the second scenario, the patient is only 16 years old. Furthermore, she reports that she feels that she must tell her fiancé whether she will develop the illness. Her mother disagrees with this decision and feels that her daughter is too young to know. Under these circumstances, only 20% of participants indicated that the physician should order the test. Three factors had changed. First, the patient was a minor. Second, she did not have the permission of her mother. Third, the question was written in such a way that some respondents felt that the patient was ambivalent about knowing her genotype and was being somewhat coercively influenced by her fiancé.
In the third scenario, a 16-year-old patient is simply curious about her predisposition and has the support of her mother in requesting the test. In this case, 43% of participants thought that her physician should order the test despite the fact that the patient was a minor and that she had no immediate need to make a decision that would have long term consequences.
The second series of scenarios explored values related to testing the APOE genotype, which is associated with the development of Alzheimer's disease. This genotyping has not been routinely used to assess the degree of risk for developing the disease. Based on association studies, patients with one copy of the APOE*4 allele are at increased risk for developing the disease and those with two copies are at even higher risk (2). In the first scenario, a 50-year-old man, with a mother who has Alzheimer's disease, requests to learn whether he has the APOE*4 genotype prior to making a decision about a major financial investment that would require his personal involvement for 10 years. Most participants (80%) believed that his physician should order the test. In the second scenario, a 21-year-old man, who had a grandfather who died of Alzheimer's disease, has just inherited $100 million. He has decided to donate $10 million to medical research and plans to donate the money to Alzheimer research if he is predisposed to the disease himself. A smaller majority of participants (60%) believed that his physician should order the test under these circumstances.
Virtually all of the participants (98%) believed that adults generally have the right to know their genotypes. A majority of participants (63%) believed that parents generally have the right to know the genotypes of their children while the children are still minors. A similar majority (67%) felt that teenagers, aged 13 to 18, should have the right to know their genotype if they either have parental permission or are emancipated minors. A minority (29%), however, reported that school-aged children of 6 to 12 years have the right to know their genotypes if they have parental permission.
Participants who reported a Catholic or Protestant religious affiliation were significantly less likely to believe that teenagers and children have the right to know their genotypes when compared with participants with different religious affiliations. For example, only 48% of Catholic and Protestant participants believed that teenagers, ages 13 to 18, had the right to know their genotype with parental permission, while 89% of participants with other religious affiliations felt that they had this right (p<0.005).
The age of participants also had a significant effect on attitudes toward the rights of parents to know the genotypes of their children. While a large majority (83%) of participants younger than 50 years of age believed that parents had the right to know the genotypes of their minor children, only 45% of the participants who were older than 50 held this opinion (p<0.02).
A single sex difference emerged in responses to the scenario of a young man wanting to know his APOE genotype before donating funds to medical research. In this case, a majority of male participants (76%) supported his request for genotyping, while only a minority of female participants (40%) felt that this genotyping would be appropriate (p<0.03).
The results of this questionnaire reflect the opinions of a group of mental health clinicians who had just completed 34 hours of continuing medical education specifically designed to help them understand clinical and ethical issues related to both pharmacogenetic testing and diagnostic tests. While the results cannot be generalized to broader categories of clinicians, the responses of these well informed and sophisticated participants are nevertheless of considerable interest. First, a majority of the participants felt that personal genotyping of their 2D6 and 2C19 genes would be of value and replied that they wanted to be tested themselves and were willing to pay the current cost of the genotyping. When participants were given the opportunity to be genotyped at no cost, 95% of the participants indicated that they would be tested. Given that 2D6 and 2C19 genotyping had only been easily available for clinical use for a few years at the time of the survey, only a small minority of participants had been tested. These responses suggest that these informed participants had decided that this genotyping had considerable clinical utility.
The exploration of testing for Huntington's disease provides new insights into the perception of clinicians about the value of genotyping for this condition. A large majority of the participants felt that an adult woman should have access to her huntingtin genotype even if there was a chance that the knowledge of her own genotype might inadvertently lead to her mother learning about her genotype. This opinion is consistent with recent empirical reviews that have found that the psychological risks of huntingtin genotyping are modest. For example, one review found that patients who learn they do have a pathological variant of the huntingtin gene experience no increase in long-term psychological distress in comparison to similar at-risk patients who learn they do not have the huntingtin gene (3). Related reviews have found that even though there is an increased incidence of suicide in Huntington's disease patients in comparison to the general population, this risk is not related to genotyping, and some evidence suggests genotyping may actually decrease the risk of suicide (4, 5).
If the patient was a minor, participants were more cautious about genetic testing for Huntington's disease. Only 20% felt that a patient should be allowed knowledge of her genotype if she was a minor and her mother objected to her knowing this information. However, more participants (43%) supported the genotyping of a 16-year-old patient when her mother approved of testing, even in a situation in which she had no immediate need to make a long term decision.
The results from the two scenarios designed to elicit attitudes about testing for the APOE*4 allele reflected considerable support for this testing. A large majority of participants (80%) felt that a 50-year-old individual, who was approaching the usual age of onset of the disease, should be allowed to know his genotype. When considering a younger individual with many years of life ahead of him before the probable onset of the disease, approximately three-quarters of the male participants still felt that he should be tested, while only a minority of the women considered this to be appropriate. During the group discussion of the results of the survey, some of the participants expressed the opinion that the reason that they did not endorse either request for APOE testing was that they did not believe that variation in this genotype was sufficiently predictive of Alzheimer's disease to warrant this testing. Given their opinion of the value of the test, they did not support the request of patients who felt that having a better understanding of their genetic predisposition to a disease was valuable despite not being definitive. Further clarification of the degree to which physicians felt that they should be making these kinds of decisions for their patients would be an important area of inquiry for subsequent surveys of physician attitudes.
Finally, it is interesting to note that three quarters of participants ages 30 to 50 felt that parents should have access to the genotyping results of their children, where only slightly less than half of participants older than 50 felt this to be the case. This may reflect the fact that those younger adults may be parents who are more likely to be responsible for the health care decisions of their children. In contrast, older adults may be less likely to have this responsibility. An alternative consideration could be that younger adults may be more sophisticated about recent genetic advances and assess the clinical benefits of genotyping to be greater than their older colleagues.
In summary, clinicians who were enrolled in an intensive 5-day course focused on psychiatric genomics had a range of beliefs regarding when patients should receive genotyping results. A large majority of participants felt that genotyping of drug metabolizing enzyme genes is of value and that in most circumstances adults should be permitted to know their genotype. These results also illustrate that continuing medical education programs provide an underutilized opportunity to develop a better understanding of the perspectives of practicing clinicians. These results should not be generalized to reflect the views of all psychiatrists in practice, as the participants were a subset of psychiatric clinicians with a specific interest in learning about advances in the translation of genomic research to clinical practice.
It would be important to survey a more representative sample of psychiatrists to be able to document the range of beliefs about genetic testing and to replicate the findings related to age, gender, and religious affiliation. Assessing the attitudes of participants in future continuing medical education courses devoted to training psychiatrists how to use genetic testing would also allow for the evaluation of changing attitudes over time.

Hague 'do more' pledge on Syria aid
2:27pm Tuesday 3rd September 2013 in National News © Press Association 2013
Britain will do more to help victims of the Syrian civil war, William Hague pledged as the United Nations revealed the number of refugees had passed two million.
The Foreign Secretary said the Government remained "highly active" in seeking an end to the violence but insisted there were no plans to seek a fresh vote on UK involvement in military strikes.
Efforts would instead be concentrated on a diplomatic push to secure a stalled peace conference, with Prime Minister David Cameron to press regime ally Russia on the issue at the G20 summit later this week.
The scale of the human toll of the conflict - which has claimed more than 100,000 lives, came in the latest UN figures which showed 1.8 million have fled to neighbouring countries in the last year.
With another 4.25 million displaced within the country, a third of the population have now been forced from their homes in what UN High Commissioner for Refugees Antonio Guterres called the "great tragedy of this century".
"The UK is the already the second largest donor, supporting over 900,000 citizens and we will do more," Mr Hague told MPs as aid agencies warned overstretched refugee camps needed a massive funding boost.
"The president of the Syrian National Coalition will visit London on Thursday when we will discuss further support to save lives, promote political dialogue in Syria and advance the holding of a second Geneva conference.
"It is another testimony to the callousness of this regime towards its own people that not only have they killed so many tens of thousands but also that they obstruct the delivery of aid, including medical supplies, to people in their own country who desperately need it."
Downing Street denied any split with the Cabinet - which discussed the crisis this morning - over the prospect of Britain still joining military strikes against the Syrian regime in response the use of chemical weapons.
Mr Cameron ruled out the UK joining action planned by the US and after being defeated on the issue in the Commons. US president Barack Obama's decision to delay action while he too seeks Congressional support has prompted calls for a rethink however, with London Mayor Boris Johnson earlier renewing calls for the option to be kept open.

The staff were really unfriendly and sometimes rude! They don't speak Spanish and their English was very poor. Every time I asked for directions of any place I wanted to go or for the metro, they weren't so willing to answer. They are in a very touristic city and for that reason, they should speak better English and be nicer towards guests. Breakfast really poor. Room facilities were ok, although towels were stain and the room a bit smelly. The only good point was its location near Sacre Couer.

For Paris, this place was amazing! The location was perfect, so close to the metro and made it easy to get around! Was about a 20 minute metro ride away from the Eiffel Tower and the louvre but I preferred this as we avoided paying tourist prices at resteraunts! It also had an amazing resteraunt around the corner called la table d'Anvers which had reasonably priced AMAZING French food and wine!

Queens Park Rangers have fined Joey Barton six weeks' wages and stripped the midfielder of the club captaincy, following an internal investigation into his red card at Manchester City on the final day of the season.
Barton, 29, will also miss the club's pre-season tour of Asia in July as part of the punishment, whilst the player himself has agreed that if he seriously breaches QPR's disciplinary procedures again, the club has the right to terminate his contract.
The former Manchester City player was sent off for elbowing Carlos Tevez in the final game of the season and was issued with a 12-match ban by the Football Association for subsequent incidents where he kicked Sergio Aguero and attempted to head-butt Vincent Kompany before leaving the pitch.
QPR chief executive Philip Beard told the club's official website: "It was important that we took our time to make sure we came to the correct decision, which I believe we have achieved. Joey's behaviour, which led to his red card at Manchester City, and his subsequent actions were completely unacceptable and we have made our feelings on this matter known to him.
"I am really pleased with the way in which the Club and Joey have worked towards reaching a sensible conclusion and we fully believe he will respond to these sanctions in the correct manner."
Barton added: "My behaviour was wrong and I accept the punishment that has been imposed upon me as a result.
"I apologise to the Manager, my team-mates and of course the QPR fans for my actions. I also apologise to the Manchester City players, staff and supporters."
Despite the statement saying no further comment would be made on the matter, Barton has since tweeted: "I was reckless and deserved every punishment I received. Money comes and goes, it's not important to me. Losing the captaincy and missing...
"...12 games, is what really hurts. I was stupid and that what happens when u do dumb things. I am confident ill bounce back. Cannot wait.
"That's all I have to say on the matter. I wish to put it behind me now and help QPR, once available of course, push on towards the top half."
