Nigeria has the largest economy in Africa, at more than US$500 billion, and ranks 23rd in the world. A recent re-evaluation of Nigeria's true economic size doubled the previous estimate, and brought it well ahead of South Africa, which is a member (unlike Nigeria) of the G20 club for political as well as economic reasons. Nigeria's economy can be said to be quite diverse from one point of view, but heavily dependent on oil and gas at the same time. Oil and natural gas account for about 15% of Nigera's overall economy, but traditionally represent more than 90% of the country's exports and as...

While I agree with much about RET (It was culled from
Buddism) I would not want to be an adherent of Albert
Elias. He was not only a supreme egotist, but also a
sexual weirdo. But when it comes to getting "help" we
should develop an eclectic attitude, I suppose.
Thanks for your comment and willingness to develop an eclectic attitude. It is unfortunate that you may have had a bad experience with Dr. Ellis or an impression of him that would lead you to label him in his totality.
I can only share my own experience as a student. I had the honor of completing training under various experts, including Dr. Ellis. I know that Dr. Ellis, in his own admission, was a controversial figure who was willing to speak out against traditional viewpoints, and he probably did not appeal to everyone due to his stances.
I think he might say that it is important to distinguish between the message and the messenger, in the event that the messenger might be delivering a great message in a fashion that you didn't particular care for. He shared many valuable points and his theories and methods have helped many people.
Personally, I found him to be quite brilliant, articulate, and compassionate, and I would hope that you would re-consider his work, which could really help you & others in your world.
Thank you again for your comment and read.
Dr. Pam Garcy
Dear Ms Garcy,
Is there any evidence that your approach (REBT) actually is effective in treating anorexia nervosa? For example, have there been any randomized controlled clinical trials testing REBT against placebo or other standard treatments? If so, could you please provide us with the data developed in those clinical trials? Thanks
Great question. In answering this question, I just did a search on the psychological/psychiatric databases called EBSCO, which I have access to through the university & didn't see a randomized clinical trial testing REBT against placebo for anorexia.
I found a study that uses an approach that is extremely similar to REBT that the authors call Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy. The specifics they put in their article have some things that mirror what I'm suggesting & has found good efficacy rates, given the complexity of anorexia. Here is the reference: Fursland, A., Byrne, S., Watson, H., La Puma, M., Allen, K., & Byrne, S. (2012). Enhanced Cognitive Behavior Therapy: A Single Treatment for All Eating Disorders. Journal Of Counseling & Development, 90(3), 319-329. doi:10.1002/j.1556-6676.2012.00040.x
I can only comment that in my own experience as a clinician that adding this into a comprehensive approach may be worth considering. I'm not a researcher myself or I would certainly consider conducting the very trials you suggest.
Thanks for your question.
Dr. Pam Garcy
I am aware of all the published studies of treatment for anorexia nervosa. I agree with you that there is no reliable evidence REBT is effective. At this point, using REBT to treat anorexia nervosa would be entirely speculative and might be dangerous or risky.
You mention CBT-E as a possible treatment for anorexia. However, the world's leading proponents for CBT-E acknowledge that for adolescents with anorexia nervosa, the leading treatment at this time is not CBT-E but rather FBT. See Dalle Grave et al, Enhanced Cognitive Behaviour Therapy for Adolescents with Anorexia Nervosa, http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23123081
In my opinion, I think that the rift between clinician and researcher is widened by a lack of appreciation for the role of individual differences.
This BLOG isn't saying to exclude methods that work! It is saying that REBT has some useful elements to consider adding in as appropriate, given the areas of direct overlap.
Done in this manner, within the realm of listening to the individual and within a comprehensive treatment in a multidisciplinary setting, it is quite improbable that it would be dangerous.
There are actually elements of REBT that are directly contrary to elements in evidence-based treatment for anorexia nervosa. Therefore, it is entirely possible that REBT would be harmful, because it would counteract effectiveness. Also, REBT involves financial expense. If the treatment is ineffective and costs money, then harm is done. Furthermore, if a sufferer is told that REBT may be effective, and it is not, then the sufferer and her family tend to become demoralized and tend to give up trying to recover. This is a real danger when unproven methods are used.
If it is felt by proponents that REBT has value in the treatment of anorexia nervosa, why have they not conducted any clinical trials to test their hypothesis in practice?
Thank you very much for taking so much time to share your opinions on this topic over the past few days.
I agree that it would certainly be of benefit if those who are in the position to research this, such as those at the Institute, would do so. Perhaps someone like yourself (if you work there or in an academic setting) would consider taking it on as a research project, given your passion for the current conversation and apparent expertise on research in this area.
I suppose we can agree to disagree on some of your views--not saying you're wrong or I'm right, just that we see it differently.
Presently I accept that I operate with the level of certainty that is available from (1) CBT research which is available to date (2) direct experiences of successful outcomes with clients and (3) active feedback obtained by clients during their treatment. I think it is fair to offer additional approaches that may work in an informed consent format, so clients can make the decision to add something or not. I've seen treatment in action by other therapists & in a variety of settings, and I will tell you that much of what is being done is far from research based & far from useful, whereas people have told me that this is useful. That's a bit real-world and maybe we don't like to hear that or talk about it, but it is the reality. Ask people in treatment.
So, for reasons I described earlier, for me personally & not saying it is something you have to agree with, the advantages of incorporating this on the occasions when it is a match for someone can far outweigh the potential disadvantages.
Just to clarify (and maybe I wasn't clear enough), I'm not advocating that a single-minded approach be taken with anyone; just the opposite--I'm advocating a healthy respect for individual differences in treatment response in light of the information we now have. I'm also advocating multi-disciplinary treatment so that there can be a check & balance going on.
Certainly, this is best weighed out and considered carefully for each person, since every patient and every therapist is an individual & all treatment (even researched ones) involve a degree of risk and the potential for waste/failure.
Thanks again for the conversation & let us know if you decide to do some more research for us. I'd be happy to consider posting a blog about your findings if you do.
Very helpful and informative blog. Thank you for posting this.
Thanks for the feedback. I appreciate it. I hope that something in here helps you or someone you know with this condition.
Hello, I really am glad that I read your blog concerning anorexia. It will be a year next month sense the first day I started treatment and in January it will be a year sense discharge. I have been fighting a battle with disease sense I was seventeen years old. I have had issues with food restricting, purging, and laxative abuse.
In your blog there were a lot of great points. The topic that stuck out for me was the Low Tolerance/High Tolerance. It is very true for myself who battles when things get tough and I can't handle things I tale it out on my body. The eating disorder has become my coping skill. Thank you for sharing this approach, I plan on researching it more and maybe even applying it to myself.
Thanks for the feedback and kind words. Keep up the good work--this blog is just the beginning of the journey & I hope you learn lots to help yourself! Dr. Pam
It can take a radical reboot to get past old hurts and injustices.

Thousands of East Valley teenagers will celebrate their high school graduation this month. But if you are Hispanic or American Indian, chances are greater you will not be celebrating.
Instead, you are more likely than your classmates to become part of a disturbing statistic.
Arizona Department of Education records for the class of 2001, the latest year for which statistics are available, show graduation rates for white students in Scottsdale, Mesa, Chandler, Gilbert and Tempe range from 85 percent to 95 percent.
But in the East Valley communities with the most minority students — Chandler, Tempe and Mesa — graduation rates are much lower for minorities, especially Hispanic and Indian students:
-- In the Chandler Unified School District, 69 percent of Hispanic students and 77 percent of Indian students graduated.
-- In the Tempe Union High School District, 69 percent of Hispanics and 61 percent of Indians graduated.
-- In the Mesa Unified School District, 64 percent of Hispanics and 55 percent of Indians graduated. The rate for black students — 73 percent — is higher, but remains lower than the white graduation rate of 85 percent.
Even Mesa's graduation rate for white students — based on students who should have graduated in 2001 — is the lowest among white students in the East Valley's five largest school districts.
In contrast, Gilbert and Scottsdale districts have the highest overall graduation rates among the five districts — 95 percent and 92 percent, respectively.
In Chandler and Tempe, the rates have improved or stayed about the same in nearly every ethnic category compared with graduation rates from 1993. But in Mesa, comparisons between 1993 and 2001 show a sharp drop in the Hispanic rate — from 75 percent in 1993 to 64 percent in 2001 — while the Indian rate has dropped from 57 percent in 1993 to 55 percent in 2001.
Mesa officials say their graduation rates have fluctuated since 1993, but they also acknowledge current rates are unacceptable.
"We have room to improve," said Mike Cowan, Mesa's curriculum superintendent. "Why is there a difference (in graduation rates among ethnicities)? That's a good question, and we struggle with that in public education."
The problem is not unique to Mesa and other East Valley communities. Numerous national studies, including one released May 14 by the Center for Labor Market Studies at Northeastern University, have found that minority students are more likely than white students to drop out of American schools.
But with Arizona having a rapidly growing Hispanic population and a statewide dropout rate of about 10 percent — referred to as the worst in the nation by several reports — the issue is especially critical here.
If trends continue, Hispanic children will be the majority in Mesa's elementary schools in just a few years.
Mesa mother Carmen Guerrero, who has one child at Emerson Elementary School and another at Carson Junior High School, worries about what the future holds for her children and other Hispanic children in Mesa and Arizona.
"It's very hard for Hispanic youth to feel welcome in schools where administrators and teachers don't seem to reflect any understanding of their culture," Guerrero said. "If you're not white, there's no room for you to be yourself. You either assimilate or you die."
Guerrero said she would like to see Mesa employing more Hispanic teachers and principals.
"Kids get written off just because the teacher can't pronounce their name or understand their culture," Guerrero said.
Janice Ramirez, the district's personnel superintendent, said Mesa has made it a priority in the past five years to recruit minorities and teachers who can teach English to students who do not speak the language. Statistics were not available Friday on the percentage of minority teachers and principals in the district.
This month, Mesa hired two Hispanic assistant principals for Carson and Fremont junior high schools. But two new hires in a 70,000-student, 88-school district seem small to Guerrero and other parents in Mesa's fast-growing Hispanic community.
"I think (Superintendent) Debra Duvall is trying," Guerrero said. "But it's hard for her to turn the ship around. It's a big ship."
Ramirez said that while there is value in having more minority teachers and principals in schools with larger minority populations, it's just as important to have employees of any ethnicity who are good at what they do and take extra time to motivate and mentor students.
"You don't have to be Hispanic to take a special interest and encourage a child," she said.
Ramirez added that the support a child gets at home and in his community also is vital to his success in school.
For 17-year-old Marissa Brown, a senior who will graduate in June from Sun Valley High School, a Mesa charter school, that kind of support has been fleeting. Growing up on the San Carlos Apache Indian Reservation east of Globe, Brown skipped classes at the reservation's school so often, the court system placed her in a group home in Glendale when she was 15. She enrolled at the public Barry Goldwater High School.
Not long after that, she dropped out.
Brown describes life on the reservation for most Indians as one without structure and rules, a life where parenting is inconsistent and alcoholism is rampant.
"Children make their own decisions," she said.
So public high school, with its schedules and rules, was a jolt. So were the cliques that form among teenagers in that setting.
A difficult adjustment to school, coupled with financial problems at the group home, resulted in Brown returning to the reservation for a while before being placed in another group home, this time, in Mesa. The group home director suggested Brown try Sun Valley instead of a another traditional district high school.
The move paid off. Brown flourished at the charter school, where hours are flexible, instruction is more one-to-one, and cliques are less common.
"They treat you like family here," Brown said. "Native Americans don't hang together as one here. We're all mixed together."
In June, Brown will be the first child in her family to graduate from high school. Instead of a cap and gown, she plans to wear traditional Apache attire to commencement.
From there, it's on to Mesa Community College and the University of Arizona to study science in criminal justice. Brown's goal: To become a juvenile judge on the reservation.
"I think they need someone who is going to enforce the rules and give steps for children to follow," she said. "They need someone to motivate children and encourage them to stay in school."
There are as many suggestions to solving Arizona's dropout problem as there are to explaining how it came to be.
This school year, the Mesa district is spending $1.3 million on dropout prevention for a range of programs that include mentoring, tutoring and other assistance.
The Chandler district offers similar programs, especially paying attention to the transition from eighth to ninth grade.
"It's that year of transition when you lose some kids," said Mike Desper, director of secondary education. "We target groups of kids. We try to make sure they're with the right teachers."
Chandler's graduation rates have increased significantly in all ethnic categories in the past decade. The rate for Hispanics rose from 54 percent in 1993 to 69 percent in 2001, the Indian rate rose from 44 percent in 1993 to 77 percent in 2001 and the black rate rose from 83 percent in 1993 to 90 percent in 2001.
"It's been a focus for us," Desper said, adding that the district offers students who fall behind the opportunity to take classes on Saturdays or in the evenings so they can graduate on time. "We try to be flexible. That's really the key."
Other educators, such as former legislator Jay Blanchard, a professor at Arizona State University's College of Education, point to the need for more early childhood programs that get children on the path to success from their first day of school.
"We need to reach out to parents in the young years," Blanchard said. "By the time they're in junior high or high school, we've won or lost the battle."
Tom Horne, the state's superintendent of public instruction, says the focus should be on making sure students are learning English as quickly as possible — through English immersion. He also has established an advisory group to seek ways to lower the Indian dropout rate.
Horne said four things have been shown to help reduce dropouts: Peer counseling, mentoring, flexible hours, and career and vocational education.
Gene Garcia, dean of ASU's College of Education, said there are many efforts under way at the university and in the community to address academic achievement for minorities and poor students, including a school completion task force at ASU.
Others, such as President Bush and proponents of the new federal No Child Left Behind law, say the solution is more basic: Higher expectations for all students regardless of ethnicity or background.
Cowan said educators in the Mesa district do have high expectations for all students, but different students require different teaching. And no East Valley district is changing as rapidly as the mostly white, middle-class Mesa district.
In 1990, 95 percent of the families in the district's elementary schools spoke English as their primary language; today, that figure is 78.6 percent. In 1990, 30 percent of elementary families had incomes low enough to qualify for free or reduced-price lunches; today that figure is 46.9 percent. Individual schools have seen more dramatic change.
"Some teachers in our system have struggled with the fact that our population is changing. With that comes different teaching strategies, different levels of parental support," Cowan said. "We're addressing it. But it's an uphill climb."

Returning clients frequently tell us about extraordinary, unexpected moments on their A&K holidays in Chile. Here's a hot contender for the top ten. One of our traveller's helicopter had landed on a Patagonian glacier to find the guides had chipped off ice and laid out a frozen selection board of cheese and ham, accompanied by a scotch on the natural rocks.
Two very different examples of how our guides can make an Abercrombie & Kent holiday to Chile both memorable and safe. They're part of a multi-centre South American team offering seamless travel across the continent. With 22 multi-lingual staff, our Santiago office can also arrange unique experiences from private polo classes to dinner at the home of famous chef, Emilio Peschiera, and surprise opera performances during private suppers.
Chile, you'll gather, offers a diverse holiday. Hugely diverse. There's sophisticated Santiago, a gateway to fine wineries, with its acclaimed Pre-Columbian Art Museum; and coastal Valparaiso where our guide responded to your request for 'real life' by swapping the private car for a tram, a funicular and long walk along tiny cobbled alleys teeming with locals.
Book-ended by the Andes and Pacific, it also has marvellous wilderness from Patagonia's widescreen scenic drama to the South's Lake District with its blue waters, white-tipped volcanoes and forests, and the North's Atacama Desert where salt flats, geysers and volcanic peaks come with the planet's starriest sky. And we haven't even mentioned subtropical Easter Island with its enigmatic stone moai and mysterious, compelling history.
A&K is waiting to show you the lot, but first, a final traveller's tale of seriously remote comfort. His guide, knowing the party were keen photographers, took them to a sublime spot where Atacama dunes were alchemised gold by the setting sun. He then iced the cake by whipping out a chequered tablecloth for a cheese and wine feast: a gourmet greeting for the stars.
Useful info
Best time to be there
As the climate varies hugely from north to south, different places are best at different times, although spring (September to December) is universally good. Atacama can be visited year-round, central Chile enjoys a Mediterranean climate with good weather throughout. Patagonia is best for hiking in Spring or Summer.

House of Tea
Popular Teas from House of TeaSee All 11 Teas
Recent Tasting Notes
Very nice tea. Begins boring, floral weak tea… Second infusion yields a slightly stronger floral flavour that has a slight lingering sweetness and a hint of cream. As the infusions go on, the sweetness and creaminess combination blossoms into a very satisfying tea that is almost as satisfying as eating candy or dessert!
15 sec rinse, 10 sec infusion + 3-5 sec per infusion
I got this from a little tea store up Yonge quite a ways north of Bloor that I found by accident a while ago. It was a bit pricey tea wise but I think good quality and they had a wide selection of teaware! I think 100g is the smallest amount they usually sell at once but I talked to her awhile and got her to sell me 50g of this and she even gave me a sample of some sencha too!
This tea smells milky and toasty and brews up a beautiful orangey gold colour. There is a cozy sort of sense to it. I find the taste initially just mildly grassy, then I get the same toastiness that's in the smell. It feels very smooth and just a little creamy. Overall very enjoyable! I would like to try this gong-fu style as soon as I get a decent gaiwan.
Thanks SIL
This sort of tastes like Cinnamon Water. The black tea is gentle, not strong. The Cinnamon is that of a cinnamon powder type cinnamon. And maybe Clove. The aftertaste lingers a little funky but it's 'ok'.
Might be good to add to something – a food – maybe another tea? It's a good starting point but was left a 'tad' wanting…
Glad I got to try it tho!
mmmmm another christmas blend – this one from a local tea shop that doesn't really sell online. this one has a bit more of the cinnamon and clove that i enjoy. Less of the orange/citrus flavour than the other which is a little disappointing. funnily enough…i might actually really enjoy missing the two that i have for the ultimate blend. :)

The Wanted are an English-Irish boy band, formed in 2009 who made their debut release in July 2010. The group consists of members Max George, Nathan Sykes, Tom Parker, Jay McGuiness and Siva Kaneswaran and are currently signed to Island Records and in the US Mercury Records. They are managed by Scooter Braun.[1][2]
Their debut album, The Wanted, was released on 25 October 2010 and peaked at #4 in the UK. The album had three UK top twenty singles released from it, Their debut single, "All Time Low" which hit the UK #1 spot,[1] "Heart Vacancy" which reached #2 and "Lose My Mind" which managed a peak of #19 in the UK.

The lead single from the album "Gold Forever" was released in aid of Comic Relief and reached number three on the UK Singles Chart. Their second #1 hit "Glad You Came" topped the singles chart in the United Kingdom for two weeks, and in Ireland for five weeks.[1][2] Third and fourth singles "Lightning" and "Warzone" hit #2 and #21 in the UK.
In early 2012, the group began to see success in the US and Canada, with hit single "Glad You Came" selling three million copies there, hitting #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 whilst their second single "Chasing The Sun" has become their second Billboard chart, hitting the top spot on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart.
The group formed in 2009 through mass auditions which saw over 1000 people attend, held by Jayne Collins who also put together The Saturdays and Parade.[3][4] The audition process took over 9 months and originally just George, Parker and Sykes were involved with Kaneswaran and McGuiness joining later through the process. The group revealed in their autobiography that after they were informed of the line-up, seven more people were re-auditioned before they were signed to Maximum Artist Management and Geffen Records.
The group were credited with co-writing five of the thirteen tracks on the album. Their debut single, "All Time Low", was co-written by Mac, who also produced it, Wayne Hector and Ed Drewett. It hit #1 in the UK and spent 17 weeks in the UK top 40. The second single "Heart Vacancy" again written with Wayne Hector, was released on 17 October 2010. It peaked at number two on the UK Singles Chart. The group's third single from the album was "Lose My Mind" which reached #19 in the UK Singles Chart following a performance on The X Factor. The group's debut album, a self-titled release, was released on 25 October 2010 which peaked at #4 in the UK and has since been certified as Platinum in the UK. Between 28 March and 15 April 2010, the group embarked on the fifteen date "Behind Bars" theatre tour which saw them play in twelve UK cities. The tour didn't visit Ireland or Northern Ireland. They were supported by Lawson, Twenty Twenty and Starboy Nathan
In January 2011, the group began work on their second studio album. The album featured writing credits from the group on ten of the fifteen tracks, as well as contributions from Steve Mac, Wayne Hector, Ed Drewett, Diane Warren and Guy Chambers. The album's lead single, "Gold Forever", was released in aid of Comic Relief[5][6] and hit #3 on the UK Singles Chart. In July 2011, the group released the album's second single, "Glad You Came", which became their second number-one single, staying there for two weeks, and in the top ten of the chart for six weeks. The single also reached number one in Ireland and remained there for five weeks.[2] The song also charted in some European territories, and was very successful in Australia. The third single from the album, "Lightning", was released on 16 October 2011, peaking at #2 in the UK and #5 in Ireland. The fourth single, "Warzone", was released on 26 December 2011, with the music video and radio debut coming in early November 2011. On 7 November 2011, the group's second album Battleground, was released. It debuted at #5 in the UK and #4 in Ireland. It has been certified platinum in the UK. In addition to shows in the United Kingdom including T4 on the Beach, V Festival and the iTunes Festival, the group supported Canadian singer, Justin Bieber in Brazil on 8 and 9 October 2011 and also supported Britney Spears on her Femme Fatale Tour at the Manchester Evening News Arena on 6 November 2011. Between 15 February – 9 March 2012, the group embarked on "The Code" tour, to promote the release of the album. The sixteen date arena tour saw the group play in thirteen cities in England, Wales, Scotland, Ireland and Northern Ireland. Known as #TheCodeTour, each concert featured an interactive element that linked to the group's official Facebook and Twitter pages.
In a bid to break the United States, the group went on a short promotional, radio and club tour of the states, touring between 17 January – 8 February 2012 . The success of the 10 date tour saw the group release their debut single in the states, "Glad You Came". It peaked at #3 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has sold over 3 million copies there. Their debut American EP, The Wanted, was released in April 2012, debuting at #7 in the US and #8 in Canada. "Chasing The Sun" was been released as the band's second official single there, peaking at #70 on the Hot 100 whilst reaching #1 on the Hot Dance Club Songs chart. "Chasing The Sun" was released on 21 May 2012. On 22 May 2012, the band opened and performed at the first Q102's Springle Ball concert. On 14 June 2012 the band performed a concert at New York City's Beacon Theater, which was also broadcasted live on music television station FUSE. The group visited Australia and New Zealand, for the promotion of their extended play in August 2012.[7] Following their promotional tour of Australia, the group headed to the United States for a number of promotional concerts.
The group began working on their third studio album, Third Strike, in November 2011, shortly after the release of their second album, Battleground, on November 4. In May 2012, "Chasing The Sun" was released as the album's lead single, and the third single from the band's The Wanted EP in the United States. Around this time, the band also premiered a brand new track, "Satellite". In August 2012, the band filmed a music video in Los Angeles, reportedly for their brand new single, "I Found You". However, when the video for "I Found You" was released in October 2012, a different video was revealed. The band later revealed that the video filmed in Los Angeles would be for another single. "I Found You" was released on November 5, 2012 as the album's second single.[8]
The band confirmed in September 2012 that the album would contain a number of collaborations, including tracks with Pitbull, LMFAO,[9] Chris Brown, Rita Ora[10] and Dappy.[11] In November 2012, the band revealed that the album had been pushed back from the original release of December 3, 2012, to February 2013, at their request; they claimed that the reason behind this was to perfect the album, and tweak out a few insecurities involving certain tracks.
Maximillian "Max" Alberto George, born Manchester.[12] Before music, he had been a football player with Preston North End and was on the verge of signing a two-year deal with them, whilst he has been a Manchester City supporter since a young age.[13] Previously he was a member of Avenue, a five-piece boy band made up of Jonathan Lloyd, Scott Clarke, Ross Candy and Jamie Tinkler in addition to George. They entered the third series[14] of The X Factor in 2006 and made it to Louis Walsh's bootcamp, but media reports exposed that Avenue had not strictly adhered to the rules, having been signed by an earlier music X Factor director to a deal. They were banned from participation for having professional representation rather than being specifically formed for the competition.[15][16][17] Avenue admitted they had failed to duly report their engagements and George admitted it was "not The X Factor's fault"[18] in the video showing their disqualification in Walsh's office. With Andrew (Andy) Brown joining as a member of Avenue replacing Jamie Tinkler, the band went on to have some success beyond their X Factor appearances with their debut single "Last Goodbye", reaching number 50 on the UK Singles Chart. They had a follow up release with "Can You Feel It?". Avenue disbanded in April 2009. In 2008, while still a member of Avenue, George appeared naked on cover of British gay magazine AXM's "Naked Issue" in support of cancer research.6 September 1988 , grew up with his family in

Sykes continued to perform as a child singer winning various competitions including "Britney Spears's Karaoke Kriminals" in 2003, where he got to kiss Britney Spears on live TV as part of his prize, and The Cheltenham Competitive Festival of Dramatic Art also in 2003. He appeared on ITV's Ministry of Mayhem in 2004, and won the Door Youth Project's "Undiscovered Youth Talent Contest" held in Derker performing "Mack the Knife".[22] and performed for the "Live and Unsigned".[23] Music Competition in Bristol in 2008.[24]

3030 N. Broadway - Mariano's
The proposed mixed use development houses approximately 125,000 square feet. of retail. Mariano's, which occupies both the first and second levels, is approximately 71,000 square feet and X-Sport Fitness, located on the 5th level of the building, sits at 40,000 square feet. The remaining retail is split between the ground level and the 5th level. The building is five stories tall rising to 79 feet. There are building setbacks on the north, east and south façades. Two levels of covered parking are sandwiched between the retail floors on levels 3 and 4 providing 250 parking spaces. There are an additional 30 surface spaces located at the west end of the site. Tenant loading is internal to the site, taking added congestion off of Broadway.
The development team hopes to wrap up the Planned Development process and permitting by the end of 2014. Construction could begin in February of 2015 with a store opening in June of 2016. Please click here to view the plans and email email@example.com with any questions or concerns regarding this development.
Please see below preliminary striping plan showing the proposed left turn lane channelization at the proposed signalized entrance as well as at Wellington Avenue. The exact number of parking spaces that could be lost on Broadway has not been defined as of yet and will probably not be known until feedback from the CTA but it appears that the loss will be somewhere around 4-6 cars total on both sides of the street.

The 2011 District 9 League Swimming and Diving Championships will be hosted this weekend at the SMAHS Natatorium. The weekend will feature swimming and diving talent from the District, which includes Bradford, Brookville, Clearfield, DuBois as well as the hosting Dutchmen and Lady Dutch squads.
The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders jumped out to an early lead against the Smethport Lady Hubbers in the opening round of the District 9-A playoffs, then coasted to a 54-22 victory in a game played at the Aaron J. Straub Gym at Elk Catholic.
The win moves the Lady Crusaders into the second round of the playoffs on Thursday evening at Kane.
"This was a good playoff win for us," said Ken Pistner, head coach of the Lady Crusaders. "We took care of business tonight and in the process got a lot of playing time for all of our players.
The St. Marys Area Dutch gymnastics squad placed second at the Central Pa. Gymnastics League held Saturday at the St. Marys Area Middle School.
The Bellefonte squad won the title with 137.125 points, followed by St. Marys with 129.225, Altoona 127.350, DuBois 117.875 and Ridgway 104.350.
"I was very pleased with the way the team performed at this championship meet," said St. Marys coach Irene McCandless. "They did well, although we did have some shaky moments during the meet, but the team was able to keep it together and push through and snatch the second place spot.
ST. MARYS – The Elk County Catholic Crusaders won the Allegheny Mountain League boys' basketball championship with a 65-55 victory over Ridgway Saturday night in the Dutch Oven at St. Marys Area High School.
It is Elk County Catholic's second consecutive league championship and capped a week in which the Crusaders defeated Brookville, Bradford, DuBois Central Catholic and Ridgway.
ST. MARYS - Ashley Wilson's foul shot with three seconds remaining gave the Kane Lady Wolves a 40-39 victory over the Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders and the Allegheny Mountain League championship Saturday night at the St. Marys Area High School.
The game was a back-and-forth affair for most of the evening. The Lady Crusaders held a 39-37 lead with 51 seconds left. A field goal by Kane's Drew Victory tied the game at 39 with 34 seconds left, setting up Wilson's foul shot.
The Elk County Catholic Crusaders advanced to tonight's Allegheny Mountain League championship game by defeating the DuBois Central Cardinals 49-42 in overtime Friday at the ECCHS gym.
The Crusaders will meet the Ridgway Elkers who defeated the Johnsonburg Rams 56-38 last night at Ridgway for the league title. The game is set for 8 p.m. at St. Marys Area High School.
DuBOIS - The Elk County Catholic Lady Crusaders jumped out to an early lead on Friday evening in the AML semifinal game against the DuBois Central Catholic Lady Cardinals and never looked back, as they won by a 40-29 score to advance to the championship game tonight at St. Marys Area.
The Elk Catholic girls were the No. 2 team out to the AML North and the DuBois Central Catholic girls were the No. 1 team out of the AML South.
RIDGWAY – Backed by a 23-point performance from senior Kayla Hoohuli, the visiting Lady Dutch (21-1) nearly doubled Ridgway's (1-21) output Friday night in a 70-37 victory over the Lady Elkers.
"I thought we ran the court pretty well and played man-to-man defense very well," said St. Marys head girls' varsity basketball coach Bob Swanson after capping off a 21-1 season. "We tried a couple zones but Ridgway shot the ball well [Friday night] and I think they're a much-improved ball club.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch basketball team raised their record to 20-1 on the season with a 45-30 victory over the Johnsonburg Ramettes last night at the SMAHS Dutch Oven on Senior Night.
The Lady Dutch opened a 16-5 lead after the first quarter and coasted the rest of the way to their 10th straight win.
"I was happy that we won, but I wasn't real happy with the way we played. The intensity wasn't there and we didn't handle the ball real well," said St. Marys coach Bob Swanson.
"On the bright side, a lot of kids saw some valuable action," he added.
JOHNSONBURG – The Rams got 27 total points from their two departing seniors on Senior Recognition Night en route to a 47-45 victory over visiting St. Marys.
Facing a 1-point deficit after three quarters of play, the Rams were able to claw their way back to secure the win.
Despite giving up a score to St. Marys' Jordan Weinzierl to open up the fourth quarter with the Dutch on top 36-33, Johnsonburg head boys' varsity basketball coach Bill Shuey said he did not count his team out of the contest.

LEXINGTON, Ky. - The Kentucky Horse Park will be closed Christmas Eve and Christmas Day (Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 24-25), and again New Year's Eve and New Year's Day (Wednesday and Thursday, Dec. 31–Jan. 1). The park is normally closed on Mondays and Tuesdays during the winter season, so the park will also be closed as scheduled on the Mondays and Tuesdays in those holiday weeks (Dec. 22-23 and 29-30).

Kentucky's annual agricultural output now stands at over $5.6 billion thanks in part to Kentucky's tobacco-funded Agricultural Development Fund, state lawmakers were told recently.
"Without the Agricultural Development Fund investments, I suspect we wouldn't be where we are today in agricultural output," Governor's Office of Agricultural Policy Executive Director Roger Thomas told the Tobacco Settlement Agreement Fund Oversight Committee.
The holidays are a wonderful time for family togetherness, but after a few days, everyone, no matter their age, begins to look for distractions. In a world of smart phones, tablets and laptops, many times our attention turns to technology, but it doesn't have to be this way. It is possible to keep young people active and engaged without technology.
Gift cards are one of the most popular holiday gifts. Many of us will add a new gift card to our wallet over the holiday season.
Sometimes, the "rules" associated with gift cards can be a mystery, leading to many gift cards being unused. When does the card expire? Is there a processing fee? If there an inactivity fee? Can I use the card online?

Rats! "Film credits from the 1920s revealed imprecision in copyright claims that some experts say could invalidate Disney's long-held copyright" of Mickey Mouse.
Sandra Tsing Loh Is On Fire: LAT manages to suck the funny from Loh's book, writing, "Until 2004, Loh was a marginally famous humorist. Then she 'exploded into flames,' as she writes on the book's opening page, transforming herself into the foaming mouthpiece of dissent and outrage over the state of public education in the U.S. Loh was 42 at the time — a working and married mother of two young girls who was on the prowl for a good kindergarten."

Charity Set Up After RI Fire Has Had Modest Effect
After several back-and-forth conversations with King and Jeffrey Derderian, she says, she gave up and dropped out, unable to pay.
"Supposedly there's all this money; I just don't know where it is," Pimentel says. "I think they're just doing it and they put it out there for a good name for themselves."
King says he worked hard to get Pimentel the help that she did receive.
"I think we gave to her what we said we could do," King says. "You can't make them all happy, no matter what you do, no matter how you present yourself."King says the fund that helps cover miscellaneous educational expenses has helped 22 children in all. Citing privacy concerns, King wouldn't release any beneficiaries' names or connect the AP with any of them. AP contacted several families representing more than a dozen children. Only two had received help from the charity: Pimentel and Melinda Bloomingburgh, whose son, Kevin Gage, lost his father. Bloomingburgh says she is grateful the fund paid for summer school and school supplies for her son, now 21. And while King took Kevin under his wing when he was younger, Bloomingburgh says that as he got older and things got tougher for him at school, the attention stopped. He dropped out of school at 18. At one point, she says, Jeffrey Derderian came to her house to talk about the fund and was apologetic. Bloomingburgh says she wishes the charity had helped her son get the counseling he needed to deal with his anger at his father's death and to stay in school. She says she called several times asking for help finding counselors and never got a call back. Denise Gordon's son, Brandon Crisostomi, lost his father, Alfred Crisostomi, in the fire when he was 10. Gordon says they went through tough times afterward. She says she hadn't heard of the Station Education Fund until asked about it by the AP and wishes she had known so she could have reached out for help to buy her son a computer or pay for other school expenses.
