Gates says poor countries not doomed to stay poor
In their sixth yearly letter, which in the past has focused exclusively on the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation's annual activities, the co-chairmen of the world's largest charitable foundation seek to dispel false notions that poor countries are doomed to stay poor, that foreign aid is wasteful and that saving lives will cause overpopulation.
"All three reflect a dim view of the future, one that says the world isn't improving but staying poor and sick, and getting overcrowded," Bill Gates writes in the 16-page letter. "We're going to make the opposite case, that the world is getting better, and that in two decades it will be better still."
Gates says GDP per capita figures, adjusted for inflation to 2005 dollars, show that many countries such as China, India, Brazil and even Botswana that were once considered poor now have growing economies.
And in Africa, a place the Microsoft co-founder says is all too often dismissed as hopeless, life expectancy has risen since the 1960s despite the HIV epidemic. Also, more children are going to school and fewer people are hungry.
"I am optimistic enough about this that I am willing to make a prediction," he said. "By 2035, there will be almost no poor countries left in the world."
Gates also argues against claims that foreign aid is wasteful because it is too expensive, because it is stolen by corrupt officials receiving it or because countries who receive it become dependent on it.
He says that in Norway, the world's most generous donor of foreign aid, the amount of its budget that goes to foreign aid is only 3 percent. In the U.S., it's less than 1 percent, or about $30 billion per year, of which $11 billion goes to vaccines, bed nets and other health causes.
Measles vaccinations, eradicating smallpox, controlling tuberculosis in China and a plan to eliminate polio in Latin America are all public health efforts achieved with aid funding.
"Health aid is a phenomenal investment," he writes. "When I look at how many fewer children are dying than 30 years ago, and how many people are living longer and healthier lives, I get quite optimistic about the future."
His wife, Melinda, wrote a section of the letter dispelling the myth that saving lives worldwide will lead to overpopulation. She points to countries such as Brazil where both child mortality and birth rates have declined.
When more children survive, she says, parents have smaller families.
"The planet does not thrive when the sickest are allowed to die off, but rather when they are able to improve their lives," she says. "Human beings are not machines. We don't reproduce mindlessly. We make decisions based on the circumstances we face."
The Seattle-based Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation is the world's largest charitable foundation and has made $28.3 billion in grant payments since its inception 13 years ago.

I believe in giving credit where credit is due - unlike many mortgage lenders, who for the past 10 years have apparently believed in giving credit to anyone who asks.In this case, the recipient of said credit happens to be the Gwinnett County Public Schools. Yes, I know, in the past I've been critical of GCPS for everything from overcrowding to heavy-handed management practices to naming new schools after imaginary geological features. (Peachtree Ridge? Mill Creek? Mountain View?) But the fact that 99 of Gwinnett's 105 public schools achieved Adequate Yearly Progress, according to recently released reports, is certainly praiseworthy. So is the fact that the system has steadily improved its performance ever since my children first enrolled in Gwinnett schools. Actually, I think there's a correlation there. AYP, for those who don't have school-age children or who have been living in a cave in Uzbekistan for the past six years, is a requirement of the federal No Child Left Behind law. Basically, it stipulates that, in order to continue receiving federal funding, schools must meet certain standards in key areas, such as math, reading and production of college football talent. Of course, the state of Georgia, as a national leader in education reform, has added its own, more stringent requirements on top of the NCLB standards. Georgia schools are expected to produce SEC-level talent. Just kidding. Sort of. Long-time readers of this column will attest that I'm no big fan of NCLB. Heck, I'm the same guy who once suggested we adopt federal guidelines aimed at eliminating baggy pants, to be known as "No Child's Left OR Right Behind." There are those who would argue that the seemingly endless batteries of standardized tests required by NCLB do not constitute an effective method for evaluating student achievement. Others insist that the tests themselves are biased, favoring students from more affluent homes and communities. I don't completely disagree with either of those arguments. At the same time, though, you can't convince me that the numbers mean nothing at all. Whatever the reason - general affluence, well-compensated teachers, highly involved parents, liberal Taser usage - Gwinnett students as a group do perform better on standardized tests than their counterparts in other metro school systems. And whether those tests tell the whole story or not, they clearly tell some of the story. Does anyone seriously doubt, based on these test results, that students in Gwinnett are more likely than students in DeKalb or Atlanta to have the skills necessary for college and beyond? And I'm not just talking about reading a playbook. On a very practical level, there's something else those test results mean: that my home is now worth a little bit more than it was before the results were announced. Hey, I wonder if some of those mortgage lenders are still hanging around. Rob Jenkins is associate professor of English at Georgia Perimeter College. E-mail him at email@example.com.

Maybe you'd like to know why Neurosculpting® became my life's work.
I'll be candid with you, it was born out of my own trauma and my own desperate need to heal. I was always a child predisposed to the freeze response. In moments of stress or fear we have three options: fight, flee and freeze. I seemed to like freeze, going quiet and feeling invisible when I was terrified. I'd stiffen and hold my breath during the scary parts of movies. Maybe you know the response. At 15 I was hit by lightening on my birthday and everything changed. That's when the freeze response got amplified and became a life threat to my nervous system. I began blacking out that summer, having no real control over when moments of unconsciousness would hit. Over the years the blackouts worsened so that during recovery it was all I could do to crawl to the bed or lay motionless for hours on the floor. I'd wake up in puddles wondering if I urinated myself. I had no answers and no diagnosis until I was in a routine doctor's exam in my thirties…by then this condition had been hijacking me a few times a year for fifteen years. In that routine exam I had an episode. To my horrified surprise I woke up to a loaded needle of atropine poised at my heart and a scared doctor ready to plunge it in to give me a jolt to "resuscitate" as he told me. Apparently, I had a seizure and I lost the ability to breath and had no pulse. All these years I had been having seizures and experiencing this. I was not epileptic, so the doctor told me there was nothing that could be done but to stay hydrated and manage my stress. The episodes worsened until the last two traumatic events caused me to commit to creating a meditation modality that would finally help me heal this strange and traumatic nervous system response. I had an episode in front of my daughter in a food court when she was three. She watched me seizure and flatline. She watched paramedics hover over me talking about the fact that I had no pulse. She, at three, was utterly left alone to watch her mother exit. That moment is a scar that continues to heal. The last episode I had in front of my husband was the most difficult one to come back from. I stopped breathing multiple times during recovery, simply too tired to do it on my own without his prompting. I knew I wasn't coming back if it happened again.
Neurosculpting® IS the form of meditation I had to create to help me target an unknown trigger for this condition and rehearse a new script so I could circumvent another episode. It is the culmination of over thirty years of my meditation practice, honed by what neuroscience currently knows about how the brain maps. Neurosculpting® is the fusion of brain science and mindfulness so even the most insidious mental beliefs can be rewritten. I created this modality and process to save my life. It was out of necessity and love for my daughter and husband that I created this. Neurosculpting® is a nice catchy term, but it is NOT a fad or a trend. I don't take it lightly, nor do I have any room for lip service. I spread these techniques from a platform of pure belief in their efficacy and healing power. I created this outside of dogma and institutional influence so that anyone from any belief system could benefit and find healing during their hardest times.
It has been my mission to help individuals find healthy ways to navigate the great unknown of spiritual, emotional and mental confusion and stress. We are the masters of our own mindscape. We are the creators of our perceptions and responses to the world. It is time for each of us to learn more about ourselves, to reveal and use our special gifts to paint a new picture.
WE ARE THE STORY TELLERS and this life IS OUR STORY!
The Neurosculpting® Institute, NSI, brings together the principles of Neuroleadership, the latest research regarding cognitive neuroscience, and the time-tested practices of mindfulness and meditation in a comprehensive left-right brain approach to better living. For far too long we have lived in a segregated society of science vs. spirituality. The Neurosculpting® Institute is the bridge of integration. It IS where gray matters!
Imagine the benefits of your mental, emotional, spiritual and physical perceptions coming in to alignment.

Passion-Fruit Gelees
- 4 (1/4-ounce) envelopes unflavored gelatin
- 1 cup water
- 2 cups sugar plus additional for tossing
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice
- 3/4 cup thawed unsweetened passion-fruit (maracuyá) purée such as Goya
- Equipment: an 8-inch square nonstick baking pan
Lightly oil baking pan.
Sprinkle gelatin over water in a 2-quart heavy saucepan and let stand 4 minutes to soften. Heat gelatin over medium-low heat, stirring, until dissolved. Stir in 2 cups sugar until dissolved, then stir in lemon juice.
Bring to a boil over medium-high heat, washing any sugar crystals down side of pan with a pastry brush dipped in cold water. Reduce heat to medium-low and boil, uncovered, without stirring, 13 minutes (watch carefully so that mixture does not boil over). Remove from heat and let stand 5 minutes for bubbles to dissipate. (Skim any foam that remains after 5 minutes.) Stir in passion-fruit purée (do not scrape bottom of pan; leave any dark bits that stick). Pour into baking pan and let stand at room temperature until set, at least 12 hours.
Run a sharp knife around edge of gelatin and invert onto a cutting board. Cut into 1/2-inch-wide strips, then cut strips into 1-inch pieces. Just before serving, gently toss gelées in a bowl of sugar to coat, brushing off excess.
Cooks' note: Gel�es, without sugar coating, keep in an airtight container at cool room temperature 2 weeks.

Sizing up the Global Mobile Apps Market
Industry Study Commissioned by Getjar
Executive Summary
Mobile applications (apps) have been around since the late nineties and the apps stores have been available for a quite some time as well. Operators have been offering content and applications on their appstores for most of the last decade. But it wasn't until the launch of Apple Appstore that the appsworld started to blossom in earnest. First, it fundamentally changed the revenue model in favor of the developers which has become the current defacto standard (70/30) in the mobile apps business. Second, it brought more developers into the ecosystem as it fostered the notion of focusing on just 1-2 platforms rather than the entire device ecosystem to be relevant. Third, the time-to-market equation changed for developers so that they can get the application from conception to market in a fraction of a time of what was possible in the past. Finally, the importance of a seamless end-to-end user experience to increase usage and monetization became a core principle in the mobile apps space.
While Apple has played a significant role in reenergizing the mobile apps space by bringing more consumers and developers into the ecosystem, there is significant activity outside the iPhone or smartphones space that is often not discussed. The purpose of this research study is to take a holistic look at the mobile apps space across all platforms and on a global basis to get a sense of the size of the mobile apps market and the direction it is headed.
The overall mobile apps downloads are expected to increase from over 7 billion in 2009 to almost 50 billion by 2012 growing at the rate of 92% CAGR. The revenue from mobile apps which includes both paid downloads and revenue from advertising and virtual goods is expected to increase from $4.1 billion in 2009 to $17.5 billion by 2012 at the rate of 62% CAGR. Though ondeck (operator managed) mobile apps sales exceeded those from offdeck in 2009, by 2012, offdeck is expected to hold the lion share of the mobile apps revenue.
The dynamics of the app market are quite different in emerging nations where to effectively monetize the significant app momentum (app downloads/active user and growth rates in some of these countries exceed those from the western markets, irrespective of the device type), creative strategies are needed to attract new consumers and different business models will be required to make the regional ecosystems viable.
Overall, by enhancing discovery, improving user experience, dropping price barriers, and increasing developer revenue share, the apps ecosystem can continue to prosper. The paper presents the results of the study in more detail as well discusses the future of mobile apps and how the app economy is likely to evolve.
My thanks to Getjar for supporting the research.

Can I view "Add email as task" from MS Outlook in Todoist online?
I have downloaded and use Todoist in MS Outlook 2007. I regularly use the "Add email as task" function. These appear on Todoist online but clicking on them does not show the email content - that only works from within MS Outook 2007. Is it possible to view the email content via Todoist online?
All responses
Hello Andy,
unfortunately, links to messages located in Outlook cannot be opened though the web-app. However, if you would use GMail and add emails using one of our browser plugins, they would be accessible from anywhere and redirect you directly to the particular message in GMail.
Best regards,
Hi Andy
Would it solve your problem if the email's body was attached as a note?
adding it as a note would be awesome, I run into this same issue
I just discovered this thread when I was googling a solution
Will this function not allow recall of attached Outlook emails from the plug-in? The plug-in was allowing recall of the attached Outlook emails until just a few days ago.
Hello Susan,
all emails added as tasks with the Outlook plugin will still open if you access them through the plugin.
If you can't access them, please tell us:
- Which version of Outlook are you using?
- What operating system are you using?
- Do you use an Exchange Server?
Best regards,

HOW TO determine what port clients are communicating with SEPM on
Our production SEPM is running RU7 MP1.
What report will show what port clients are communicating with the SEPM on?
We are trying to troubleshoot an issue to determine which clients are communicating with SEPM on port 80, rather than then recommended port of 8014.
Comments 15 Comments • Jump to latest comment
the clients online on the SEPM will show the clients connecting the port the SEPm is hosted, rest other clients will be offline. you can run unmanaged detector.
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
You can't get any report in sepm .
Port No 8014 in MR3 and later builds Port 80 use older version.
|Port Number
|Port Type
|Initiated By
|Listening Process
|80, 8014
|SEP Clients
|svchost.exe (IIS)
httpd.exe (Apache)
|Communication between the SEP manager and SEP clients and Enforcers.
(8014 in MR3 and later builds, 80 in older).
The 11.x product line uses IIS. The 12.x product line uses Apache
Thanks In Advance
Ashish Sharma
Ok if that is the case, what is the registry key value that displays the port number that SEP client last communicated with SEPM console.
There are registry values, such as last SEPM communicated with, i.e.
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Symantec\Symantec Endpoint Protection\SMC\SYLINK\SyLink
Registry Name: LastServerIP
Tell me the registry value of the port where client last communicated with SEPM on (at some point, Symantec recommended we configure settings such that client communicates on port 80) I can create a simple script and post it for Symantec community. :-)
Running Unmanaged Detector on SEP 11 is really user-unfriendly (you cannot copy and paste the results).
Check the CommunicationStatus key under
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\software\symantec\symantec endpoint protection\SMC\SYLINK\SyLink
Should show [servername:port]
Please click the "Mark as solution" link at bottom left on the post that best answers your question. This will benefit admins looking for a solution to the same problem.
why not look into sylink.xml file?
and yes the "CommunicationStatus" shows serverip:port
Help Link: http://www.symantec.com/business/support/overview.jsp?pid=54619
Unfortunately, while a netstat will show you if the SEPM is listening on port 80, it will not specifically show you which clients are trying to use port 80 unless they happen to be connected at the time the netstat is run.
While wireshark will do the trick ("Thumbs Up" to Brian), you might have better luck just enabling logging within IIS on your SEPM (as you're using SEP11 anyway). IIS Logs will show the client IP address and port used to communuicate, so you can see which clients are using which port.
SMLatCST says
... you might have better luck just enabling logging within IIS on your SEPM (as you're using SEP11 anyway)...
Ah ha!!!!!!
Now my question is, how do I enable logging? I am not familiar with IIS. Can you provide links to documentation.
Erm, it's different for Win2k3 amd 2k8 soooo:
Cool cool, it's worth noting that after installing the IIS logging feature in IIS7 (Win2k8) you then have to enable logging for the individual site(s) you want data for, so make sure you read through the "See Also" section of the second link.

Why Politicized Judges Spark Rancorous Confirmations
July 15, 2009
James R. Copland
Always entertaining, the confirmation process took a turn toward the theater of the absurd this week, as the Judiciary Committees Democrats welcomed their newest member, Al Franken (D-MN), a man of no legal training or experience but a sharp wit and comedic presence cultivated in his years on Saturday Night Live.
No one following this process seriously doubts its outcome. As Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) noted, President Obamas pick for the Supreme Court, Appeals Court Judge Sonia Sotomayor, will be confirmed unless she has "a complete meltdown."
But notwithstanding the near-certainty that the theatrical confirmation hearings are irrelevant to the Senates ultimate vote, the process opens a public window onto a very real conflict over the proper role of the courts and the rule of law.
These disagreements are hardly new: The judiciarys power to overturn congressional statutes as unconstitutional is itself far from clear in the plain text of the Constitution, and the Supreme Courts decision to this effect in the seminal 1803 case Marbury v. Madison was anything but uncontroversial.
In the last century, President Franklin D. Roosevelt flirted with a constitutional crisis when he threatened to "pack" the Supreme Court with new justices after the Court rejected various elements of his New Deal on constitutional grounds. The early twentieth-century critiques of judicial overreach thus came from the Left, who only turned away from their democratic-populist message in the civil rights era.
This history helps to expose the opening statements of some Senate Democrats, including Franken, which caricatured conservative critiques of "judicial activism." The senators arguments run essentially as follows: Republican-appointed justices have proven as likely, or more likely, to overturn the "will of the people" as expressed through laws enacted by Congress; thus, "activism" is merely in the eye of the beholder.
This argument only makes sense if one defines judicial activism as the "counter-majoritarian difficulty" in overturning the majority will, an implicit critique of the power of judicial review itself. But while some of the liberal philosopher-kings of the legal academy have wrestled mightily with the counter-majoritarianism inherent in judicial review, this has never been the concern of serious conservatives.
Instead, the conservative critique of judicial activism is rooted in concern for the rule of law, i.e., the application of known principles to resolve cases, without arbitrary discretion. Written constitutionalism with judicial review necessarily implies that the courts police the political branches, but such policing should flow from the written text; when courts instead venture into "penumbras" and "emanations," they turn themselves into but another political branch and undermine their legitimacy and the rule of law itself.
Deconstructing the rule of law has been the major project of leftists in the legal academy over the last century. The legal realists rejected the notion of objectivity in judging and purposely sought to de-legitimatize judicial constraints on Progressive- and New Deal-era government expansion. Later, various scholars under the "critical legal studies" umbrella specifically embraced race- and gender-conscious interpretations of the law.
When President Obama advocates "empathy" in judging and Judge Sotomayor flirts with race and gender as acceptable drivers of judicial outcomes, they echo these leftist academic movements and thus understandably provoke conservative reaction.
No one questions that legal ambiguities abound, and mainline conservatives differ over the proper decision rules for resolving such cases, but tipping the scales of justice for a particular party in litigation is antithetical to the rule of law as traditionally understood.
In deconstructing the rule of law, however, the Left has openly embraced the notion that judging is merely an extension of the political process. It should hardly be surprising, then, that the judicial confirmation process has devolved into little more than politically charged theater.

J.R. Smith discusses new contract, offseason and Brooklyn Nets rivalry
Sam SpiegelmanJ.R. Smith has been a focal point of the New York Knicks offseason, and for obvious reasons.
The Knicks re-signed the NBA's Sixth Man of the Year to the tune of a two-year deal worth nearly $18 million, including a player option for a third year.
Smith posted career-highs in both points (18.1) and rebounds (4.5) in 2012, and told KnicksNow.com there was never a question about whether or not he wanted to remain with his hometown team.
"I mean for me it was easy, I knew where I wanted to be," Smith told KnicksNow.com. "I wanted to be a Knick and still want to be a Knick like I said until I retire. It wasn't really that long of a long drawn out process. I didn't talk to any teams."
The plot thickened, however, when it was reported that Smith needed surgery to repair his left patella tendon shortly after signing his new deal.
Smith may miss the start of the 2013-14 season, as his recovery is expected to take upwards of four months. But the guard is hard at work, rehabbing and working out regularly in order to get back on the court as soon as possible.
"(They're) trying not to give me too much that I can't handle just because they want me to rehab the right way and not take any steps backwards," Smith told KnicksNow.com, "so right now just a lot of pool workouts and bike."
The Knicks dished out a new deal to Smith, but also brought in free agents Metta World Peace, Beno Udrih, traded for Andrea Bargnani and drafted former Michigan standout Tim Hardaway Jr.
Smith considers the Knicks one of the deepest teams in the league now, adding he is looking forward to working with some of his new teammates.
"I think we're getting better," Smith said. "Bargnani is a 7-foot guy who can shoot and post up. I think he's been one of the most underrated guys in this league so far because he hasn't been able to show his talent the way he's going to be able to in New York, so that's going to help us.
"Beno is an unbelievable point guard. He played great against us last year in Milwaukee and he's definitely going to help myself and Ray (Felton), help Melo because he's a pass-first point guard and he can definitely make that open shot and Metta (World Peace) is just an all-out warrior."
And of course, Smith could not ignore the recent statements from the Brooklyn Nets' newest star, Paul Pierce.
Last week in a radio interview, the former Boston Celtics standout said he hates the Knicks even more since joining the Nets, and it's time the Nets start running New York City.
On the crosstown rivalry between the Knicks and Nets, Smith, a New Jersey native, had this to say:
"They've got a great chance to compete for a title but I think we're still the marquee team in New York," he said. "I think we're going to come out with a lot of edge and hopefully put it to a positive use on the court."

Feedback Follow-Up
In the last newsletter we discussed storing your stash, and you guys responded with great ideas. A lot of you swear by plastic bags, which is great. Like I mentioned -- use what works for you. Read on for tips from your fellow stitchers:
"I store all my floss, thread, beads, etc., in 2 x 3-inch bags and file them by number in plastic drawers. It works perfectly. I can do a project by just pulling the bags and putting them in a basket next to my chair where I stitch. I keep my books, charts, etc., in a file cabinet filed by category. If a magazine has several projects that I might do, I flag them with a Post-it note. My extra material I keep in a large tote, marked with size and count. I could send anyone to the room that I keep my stuff in, and they could find what I want without my help. Works great." -- Bobbie B.
"I have every color of DMC cotton floss except any newest colors. They are all in little floss bags individually labeled by number and groups (all the 900s for example). All of the bags are on large metal rings. My Weeks and Gentle Arts flosses are hung by their cardboard tags on large metal rings in alphabetical order in a decorator box. In the last few years, whenever I bought a pattern, I also bought the fabric and any specialty floss or beads for the pattern. This self-made kit goes into its own tote bag. I must have about a hundred tote bags, all with a project in them." -- Deborah D.
"I keep an inventory of all my fibers on my iPhone. When shopping, I can easily check to see if I already have a fiber and thus avoid buying multiples of the same one. I have the following headings: Brand - Item Number - Color - How Many. I also keep an inventory of all my kits and charts to avoid buying duplicates." -- Judy W.
"35mm film comes in plastic containers with snap-on lids. These are perfect for storing my stitching needles. Also, I purchased from a craft store a quilted 'project bag' with lots of outside pockets. My stitching supplies and projects fit perfectly in this so I can grab and go." -- Monica M.
"A few years ago, I realized that storing my hundreds of skeins of DMC and specialty threads in wine boxes just didn't work. I could not keep track of the colors I owned, and they were difficult to find. I purchased inexpensive, very large binders from Staples and ziplock bags with labels from my local dollar store. While it took some time, I sorted each of the colors into separate ziplock bags, each bearing a label identifying the color, and then I placed them in numerical order in the binders after punching holes in the plastic bag. Then I checked off the number on the free list provided by DMC and in parentheses placed the number of skeins I own. The same was done for over-dyed threads and specialty threads. This system has proven to be both a time and money saver." -- Linda F.

Other trackers disagree with those numbers, putting the amount of Chrome users a little under 1.5%. Others don't even have data available yet.
These are definitely skewed perspectives. The browser is only a few days old, so many people may just be test driving it and don't plan on keeping it. Further, that's only two datasets. Other sites may differ. It definitely shows that Google's advertising methods, which include word-of-mouth, are working to their advantage. What I'd really like to see is download figures straight from Google � which I'm sure they are capable of providing.

Australasians gain Japan Tour status
BY Bruce Young | Japan Tour | 2012 Japan Tour Q-School - Final Stage | Wrap | 04 Dec 2012
The Japan Golf Tour Qualifying School has been completed with the playing of the final round of six at the Cocopa Resort Club south of Nagoya.
Victorian James McLean finished as the leading Australasian when he recorded a final round of 73 to be in 9th position. McLean, a former University of Minnesota standout while playing collegiate golf in the US, played just three events on the main Japan Golf Tour in 2012 making the cut in each but despite one top ten he did not do enough to avoid Tour School.
The ranking he has now however will ensure he gets to play a full schedule in 2013.
Queenslander Ryan Haller finished in 12th position after he too recorded a final round of 73 in difficult conditions. Haller has had status previously on the Japan Golf Tour. although only limited. when he played the Tour in 2008.
New Zealander Mike Hendry closed the event strongly to finish in 26th position and will earn virtually full status for 2013, Adam Bland finished 41st, Scott Hend 45th, Aaron Townsend 46th, Richard Tate 51st, Paul Spargo 58th, Paul Sheehan 64th and Scott Barr 95th.
Bland's final round of 75 will prove costly given he finished in 41st position.
The leading 40 players are assured plenty of starts in 2013 but from that point down they get less and less.

MWA Food Collection
Primary tabs
Bennie Padilla
On Saturday December 4th, the Mount Washington Association, coordinated by Maria Gray, sponsored a food collection to be distributed by the NE Mental Health and Wellness Clinics to our needy neighbors.
There weren't a lot of donors who showed up, but those who did contribute were very GENEROUS!!!
The MWA also contributed 10 $15.00 gift cards from Food 4 Less.
On December 13, I visited the N.E. Wellness Center to make sure that they had received the Gift Cards. One of the workers at the Wellness Center introduced me to three of the many recipients who had received some of the donated goods and they were so appreciative that they gave me an envelope containing "Thank You" letters. There is not enough room to print them all, but these are a couple that really tugged at my heart:
Dearest Mount Washington Association:
I am sending my heart to you to show you that your great kindness has touched it. It is a great act of kindness on your behalf to provide such wonderful donations.
It has not been very easy these days to find the money to even buy the necessities of life, so I send you a big THANK YOU!! for all you've done.
With Deepest Appreciation, Linnie
To the Mount Washington Association,
I really want to show my appreciation for all the food that was donated to the Wellness Center. I want to say thanks and also I'm sure that this food donated to us will go to people that really need it. It won't go to waste. This food shows how kind you are and also shows love. It's been so difficult for us because of the hard times we are facing right now.
Thanks again,

Lee underwent X-rays on Saturday, which were negative, and will receive an MRI on Sunday.Lee appeared to suffer the injury on a drive to the hoop that ended with him absorbing contact from JaVale McGee and falling awkwardly to the court early in the fourth quarter. After attempting his free throws, Lee doubled over in pain and immediately departed the court, favoring his right hip area.Lee, 29, averaged 18.5 points and 11.2 rebounds per game this season, making him Golden State's second-leading scorer and leading rebounder. He was selected to his second All-Star Game this season.Golden State, the Western Conference's No. 6 seed, is facing Denver, the No. 3 seed, in their first playoff series appearance since 2007.

In 2010 the Museum's marine facility located on Stearns Wharf, the Sea Center, hosted an exhibit called Superpowers. The exhibit featured sea creatures with super, extraordinary adaptations, far beyond those of mortal humans! Yet despite their incredible powers and abilities, these amazing marine animals rely on the real super heroes – humans disguised as everyday people – to protect them from the most dangerous villains.
One of those villains is SMOG. Exhaust from thousands of cars harms more than just the air we breathe. Excessive amounts of carbon dioxide from smog is changing the chemistry of the ocean, making it more acidic. This process, called ocean acidification, endangers animals that make their own shells, such as snails, sea urchins, crabs, and coral. As ocean acidity increases, shells begin to weaken and the animals lose their ability to make new structures.
SOLUTION: Drive Less.
While visiting Santa Barbara, you can take a vacation from your car and reduce your carbon footprint. Vehicles are a major source of smog pollution and greenhouse gases contributing to global climate change. Santa Barbara Car Free is a cooperative partnership founded in 1998 and led by the Santa Barbara County Air Pollution Control District for cleaner air and a healthier planet.

Janis Ian is one of the Woodstock era's unsung musical heroes who, just two years prior to the Bethel Bash, shocked our nation with her controversial single "Society's Child."
I want someone on the United States Supreme Court who can look back at actions that were wrong, feel a sense of injustice and make amends, even if the act happened forty or fifty years ago.
When did children's music get so awful? It wasn't always as painful to listen to. Some historic recordings, though not exactly classified as "children's," have been cherished forever.

Located adjacent to US Route 72 with easy access but this does result in some road noise. Interior roads and sites are gravel and well kept but tight for a 40 ft motorhome. Most sites appear to be reasonably level. Power and water pressure were good. The sewer connection was several inches above ground making dumping somewhat tricky. The Wi-Fi signal was weak at our site and we could only access the Internet intermittently. The bathhouse was modern and clean; the laundry appeared serviceable but had no a/c and was hot during the day. They have a salt-water pool which was one of the cleanest I have seen. The fitness center is tiny without a/c, making it unusable when we visited. They do not offer cable but do rent Direct TV receivers though not every site has a dish. Sites are satellite friendly. There is little or no shade. We had 4G reception on AT&T. The park is pet-friendly with a very small dog run. This park seems best for 1-2 nights while traveling on US Route 72. In that circumstance, we would stay here again. - wmbarryd

Interior roads a little narrow and new gravel was still mushy. A bit noisy from Hwy 72, but overall a quaint, rustic park with FHU and maintained neatly. You'll giggle at the "fitness center & tanning salon". - rvrrat520

Great little park. Lovely staff and easy check-in. You can tell the owners took pride in their park. Park was clean, grass cut down and back from areas. Clean pool, fun little Put Put area. Lots of great little incidentals like pavilion and grills and fire rings. Roads were paved, sites were level gravel. Sites were close but not tight. Right next to Hwy, not bad hwy sound. If they would have had better Wi-Fi and cable, would have gave them a 10. Wish we could find more campsites like this one when we travel. Would stay here again. - topperdan

TEMPLE (November 24, 2013) The City of Temple says it's activating its Emergency Warming Center Plan to provide a place for homeless or distressed residents to get out of the wintry cold.
The warming center for men will be open from 5 p.m. to 9 a.m. from Sunday through Thursday at Victory Ministries at 305 South 18th Street.
Should the need arise a second center could be opened for women and children, the city said.
"The intent of providing warming centers in Temple is to bring people that would normally be out in the elements on an extremely cold evening indoors during the coldest hours of the night," interim Fire Chief and Emergency Management Coordinator Ron Snider said.
"Guests will be provided a warm area for refuge, water, blankets, toilet facilities, and limited hygiene items," he said.
For information about the warming centers, call 211.

Hey, if they like it… Josaline looks much softer these days, I'm glad she figured out the right balance on those chemicals/shots/hormones or whatever it wad causing everyone to speculate on her gender. If it wasn't for the show I wouldn't even know these people exist. So good on them for continuing to hit the snooze on their 15.

- How to Read a Study Record
The purpose of this research study is to learn whether specific types of brain imaging and psychological testing can predict how much benefit patients with depression will receive from a well-studied psychotherapy for depression, called cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and how the brain imaging and psychological tests change with treatment. We will also be comparing brain scans from this study between individuals suffering from depression and volunteers without depression.
This study offers 14 sessions of one-on-one cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) over twelve weeks, administered by an experienced doctoral-level psychologist or psychiatrist.

|Predictors of Treatment Outcome With Cognitive Behavioral Therapy for Depression
- Beck Depression Inventory [ Time Frame: 12 weeks ] [ Designated as safety issue: No ]The primary outcome of this study is remission from depression at the conclusion of 12 weeks of cognitive behavioral therapy for depression. This will be assessed using the Beck Depression Inventory, a self-report questionnaire of symptoms of depression that will be administered at every treatment visit.

Behavioral: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy
14 sessions of individual psychotherapy (cognitive behavioral therapy) for depression over 12 weeks
Detailed Description:
Major depressive disorder (MDD) affects 13.1 - 14.2 million American adults annually. Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) is a structured psychotherapy that has been demonstrated in multiple studies to be an effective treatment for MDD. Not all patients achieve a full remission from MDD with CBT, however. Mental health clinicians currently lack clinical or biological markers that can reliably predict treatment outcome with CBT for MDD. Developing such markers could greatly improve clinical outcomes, and could facilitate matching of patients to treatments that are likely to help them. A recent functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) study in healthy individuals examined the neural correlates of cognitive strategies to regulate emotional responses to emotional stimuli. The emotional regulation techniques used in this fMRI study map closely onto the cognitive restructuring techniques that are a primary tool used in CBT for MDD. There is evidence that patients with depression may benefit most from a psychotherapy that draws on their existing strengths. We therefore propose to examine the neural representations of emotion regulation as a predictor of treatment outcome with CBT for MDD. We will recruit subjects with MDD in a current major depressive episode. Research participants will complete baseline psychological and biological assessments, including MRI and functional MRI imaging. Following scanning, subjects will receive 14 sessions of individual CBT for depression over 12 weeks, administered by an experienced psychiatrist or psychologist. Baseline assessments will be examined as predictors of treatment outcome with CBT for depression.
