Child Abuse
Child Neglect and Childhood Bullying
Do you have research on the impact of child maltreatment and bullying behaviors in school?
I am a graduate student doing my thesis on bully prevention, and want this info also for child welfare class assignment
Good luck with your assignment. We have no information on this topic but of course material can be found by doing a medline search.
To get you started, look at Shields A. Cicchetti D. Parental maltreatment and emotion dysregulation as risk factors for bullying and victimization in middle childhood. [Journal Article] Journal of Clinical Child Psychology. 30(3):349-63, 2001 Sep.
This study looked at 169 maltreated and 98 controls. Maltreated were more likely to bully, and the bullying was especially prevalent in kids who were sexually or physically abused. Similar findings for both genders.
The article includes an excellent (and extensive) discussion of the dynamics between violence and bullying and has several references that appear to be directly related to the person's question.

Happy Two Month Birthday, Luke!
Yes, it's been two months since my little guy made his way into the world. It's hard to believe, really. The days just move so quickly. I fall more in love with him every day. Being a momma is the greatest joy of my life.
Yesterday marked day 1 of #ProjectPantry – my 7 day challenge to spend just 15 minutes a day organizing the space that so often gets neglected. Here is the result of my first 15 minute task. (Ok, I spent 30 minutes because I wiped all the bottles down and I had a very small helper named Nate that created some extra work.) You can see the before picture on my Facebook page. It was quite the mess!
Get all the challenge details and join in!
On Facebook, I was asked what I used to create the tiered levels. I bought an expandable shelf several years ago similar to this one.

- It's about time I started lacto fermenting vegetables. According to Gena at Choosing Raw, it's quite simple to do without whey. Her post pointed me to a video from Whole Life Nutrition Kitchen which you might want to check out. This is on my to-do list this week.
- For those of you who haven't yet discovered Balanced Platter, stop by! It's my other blog. I know you'll love it.
Life Links
- Evernote is my very favorite way to keep track of information. I use it mainly when I need to take notes at my computer but I've also used it for Christmas lists, the occasional grocery list, and notes at the doctor's office. Not only is it free, but I've loaded it on my laptop, iPhone, & iPad. New notes are synced across all three devices immediately. No more paper scraps to search for.
- If you're looking for pantry organization ideas, check out this Pinterest board. It's not mine, but it's filled with great ideas.
Mom Links
- This week I've been reading Natural Baby-Healthy Child, which focuses on ways to keep our kids healthy through diet, homeopathy, integrative medicine, and other natural means. I've gotten some ideas I want to implement, including some immune boosters for winter.
- Baby stats artwork! I love this idea for the boys' room. I think I'll change the fonts and layout but include all of the same information.
Have an awesome weekend! Make sure to take pics of your #projectpantry tasks, too.

It's been distressing me that this might not be like this forever. So I feel I have to document it; but not in the usual way that the natural world is documented. I have this uncontrollable need to record the emotion that these places make me feel. To really save how it looks and feels to be in that space at that time. There's no use in only keeping track of all the basic elements that make up a forest, or the ocean or the mountains. Future generations will never know the strength these places have if the documentation is purely factual. I'm certainly not the only person doing this; all you have to do is look at some of the National Geographic work to see the emotion and power nature has over a human being. But right now, more than ever, I just urgently feel I have to record the effect the natural world is having on me.
Perhaps it's because I've always felt this strong affinity to bodies of water and forests and open fields. I'm sure a part of it is that it's always been my escape as long as I can remember: Hiding in fields and the woods near my house when things were hardest at home. Skipping school and sitting under the giant oak tree that was over 600 years old. Just a few of the best memories I have from my childhood.
Recently I find myself like I was when I was a child - needing to breathe in that air like I'll never get to breathe it again. Wondering along paths and really being aware of all the sensations, sounds and smells around me.
I've often taken photos, but I've usually never shared them or really even looked at them again. With this newly emerged urgency (that feels like it's verging on a sort of panic), I just have to catalog and share it, somehow. I don't really know how yet, except for places like this.
I'm really lucky to live where I do. I've lived in and seen some of the most beautiful places, but there's just something about the nature here that really pulls me in. The natural world has always had a kind of power over humans and it's really interesting to think that I can really mark its effect throughout my life. It's been my one constant influence and strength. It's been the one place I can always feel safe in the knowledge that it doesn't matter what I've been dealing with I can feel renewed.
My birthday wasn't so terrifying after all. It turns out that I can get myself so worked up about something that by the time the day arrives it's fairly surprising how calm I take it. Of course, whenever I stop to think about being '30' it freaks me out a bit, but otherwise what has really changed? A good part of my 20s passed by in such a daze that I'm not surprised that 30 came along and shocked me into submission.
There's literally no point looking back and wishing away all that time that I feel was 'wasted'. After all, it seems I've come to realise that it's all just a bit ridiculous. I'm sure that part of my fear at this point is pure vanity, anyway. I regularly insisted that I wasn't very vain but when it comes down to it - we are all vain. Don't believe anyone that tells you differently. Sure, vanity comes and goes, but it's still part of us.
Don't worry, it's not turning 30 that has made me need to flee to the forest so much. The only reason I mentioned that in this post was because it was really interesting to see some of your replies to my worries about it.
Really, life is better than it ever has been for me right now. It's strange to type that when I've been feeling down so much lately, but I know that those feelings are only a result of physical pain. Which, if that's all I have to deal with I shouldn't complain. But, saying this, it's amazing what constant, terrible pain can do to your emotions. It's made me a bit of a wreck in a few ways and I think that totally took me by surprise.
I've always thought of myself as a strong person both physically and emotionally. As far as I can remember I've done everything myself. But feeling weak, and being reminded of my limitations is just so frustrating.
Not least because it is taking so much longer to improve than I ever thought was possible. The only physical thing I can do is walking and so I've been doing as much of that as I can, but it's not enough. Well, I am doing my best to stay positive and work hard at re-strengthening things.
I am just so glad for my surroundings and my closest friends; both nearby and far away.

I'm sure someone has said it before but the harsh beauty of jagged mountain ranges, deep forests, and vast oceans have a magnetism like few other things in life. I try to document it sometimes, but I feel like I still can't do it justice. I don't let it stop me though.
Beautiful photos! OK btw about the waterfalls behind my family home .. it was as big as your waterfalls but it was big enough to climb up and slide down into a swimming hole. Across the road was fields and woods with a creek that we fished in. The field & creek had all kinds of critters! lol Use to trap(showing my age here! lol) muskrats and such but gave that up when I saw how the critters would suffer sometimes! Back in those days no digital camera! lol
Love your photos and blogs ..

Ciara Kowalczyk, daughter of Dan and Beth Kowalczyk, has been named the Student of the Month for October by Royalton High School (RHS) faculty.
Kowalczyk is active in National Honor Society, FFA, Student Council, track and field and Just for Kix dance.
As captain of the cross country team, "She has a gift for keeping the team atmosphere light, positive, and focused," said Michael Marshall, RHS cross country coach. "It's not easy being the only senior on the team, but Ciara captures the true sense of a leader."
Sheri Menden, English teacher, said, "Although she was an anchor for the team, Ciara needs no pomp and circumstance to celebrate her successes. She is the one who quietly models values for the younger teammates, and they have great respect for her choices." These unobtrusive leadership skills are also seen in the classroom. Menden commented that "Ciara is not worried about introducing a topic for discussion even when others may feel uncomfortable; she maturely handles topics such as rape or drug abuse."
Revealing a genuine love of learning, Kowalczyk said her favorite class so far is chemistry, because she learns so much. "I really enjoyed going everyday knowing that I would learn something interesting."
Kowalczyk said she was thankful for her teachers. "All of the teachers who have worked or are working in our school have helped me tremendously," she said.
Working as a staff aide at Royalton Elementary solidified Kowalczyk's desire to teach young children. Next fall she will attend either Winona State University or St. Mary's University to major in elementary education.
"In 10 years I see myself settled down somewhere, possibly out of state, and married, I hope," Kowalczyk said.
"If I could give high school freshmen one piece of advice," she said. "It would be to enjoy going to school as much as possible, because one minute you're sitting in driver's ed and the next minute you are a senior looking at 10 different colleges you may want to attend. Always do your best and have fun; it really does go by fast."

The Railway Budget which was introduced more recently did not make any assurances which play to the gallery but Finance Minister Arun Jaitley is going to table the nation's budget in the Parliament. All the sections of the people will be effected with this budget when compared to the railway budget and it would be really a sharp edged ride for the FM. Watch more details.

NEW YORK (TheStreet) -- Following Marissa Mayer's keynote at the CES show earlier this month, the Yahoo! (YHOO) CEO was basking in positive press and tweet coverage.
Mayer's keynote generated more tweets per second than any other person, or part, of the entire show.
That's not really a surprise. Mayer has been a magnet for attention since she arrived at Yahoo!. This was just the latest example of her basking in the favorable press light.
Yet, shortly after the keynote, Yahoo! announced that its COO Henrique De Castro was leaving after 13 months on the job. Later, Mayer released a note to employees saying she'd thought about it over the holidays and decided to fire De Castro. What's more, within 24 hours of this, many reports surfaced that De Castro would get to keep a large chunk of the compensation package he negotiated for when he came over from Google to take the job a year ago. Some estimated this would amount to $109 million.
Anytime there's a story in the news about some executive -- especially a flunky executive -- getting to walk out the door with a big bag of money, we hear an outcry of protests.
Just this past week, we heard a lot of bellyaching about Jamie Dimon getting a big pay raise from his board at JPMorgan (JPM). There was also another story about how the top 85 people in the world have as much money as the bottom 50% of the world (3.5 billion people).
De Castro was just another guy in this meme of populist outrage against fat cats getting something for nothing, especially while the guy on the street busts his hump trying to put food on the table.
But, the vitriol against De Castro and Mayer was also something else. You can sense a lot of people want Marissa Mayer to go through a little schadenfreude, a little come-uppance.
I get it. This is America. We love to build people up as heroes, then tear them down, and then build them right back up again.
Marissa has gone through the "honeymoon phase" -- as many have taken to calling it -- for 2.5 years now since she was hired at Yahoo! from Google (GOOG). These same people like to point out that the increase in Yahoo!'s stock price is not due to her, but to Alibaba. And, if I've seen these kinds of blog posts once, I've seen them a thousand times, where they ominously end the post saying "the magic can't last forever."
If Mayer -- and Yahoo! -- ever fell flat on their faces, there would be hundreds of talking heads and tweeters coming out of the woodwork to say, "I told you so!" and "I knew it all along!"
This De Castro was their first opportunity to say "Gotcha!" And they made hay with it!

Part of German Attack on Poland. – in the House of Commons at 12:00 am on 1st September 1939.
I was not a Member of this House as some hon. and right hon. Members were 25 years ago, when we were confronted with a similar struggle. That was a grave time, but this is an even graver time. This is the turning point in human history, and we are now facing a situation which, in the history of mankind, has never been faced before in this country. The die is cast. It has been my privilege and my very heavy responsibility to act, on the last two occasions this House has met, as spokesman for my party and the movement which I represent. On both occasions I endeavoured to put clearly and briefly the attitude which we, as a party, have taken. I epitomised the very solemn declarations made by British Labour in recent years. What I then said still holds. I withdraw nothing as to our criticisms of Government policy in the past, and our views as to the heavy responsibility which lies upon them as factors in creating the present situation; but to-day that is past history. We are facing a new situation, and on the two occasions on which I have addressed the House I put our constructive attitude. I now reaffirm, and say, for the third time in this House during the present crisis, that British Labour stands by its pledged word. We shall, at whatever cost, in the interests of the liberty of the world in the future, use all our resources to defend ourselves and others against aggression.
The right hon. Gentleman appears to have left another loophole. His communication gives the German Government an opportunity of withdrawal. There can now be no withdrawal, and in any event this nation is in honour bound. I would read Article I of the Anglo-Polish Treaty, an Article which bears only one meaning. It reads:
Should one of the contracting Powers become engaged in hostilities with a European Power in consequence of aggression by the latter against that contracting party, the other contracting party will, at once—
at once—
give the contracting party engaged in hostilities all the support and assistance in its power.
The Prime Minister's words have been firm. He has uttered words from which he cannot, and I am sure he would not wish to, escape, but we are building our hopes upon sand, if we think that the German Government are going to give any kind of favourable response to the appeal which has been made. The act of aggression has already taken place. Herr Hitler has put himself grievously in the wrong. He has become the arch-enemy of mankind. He has been guilty not merely of the gravest, basest treachery to this Government and this people; he has been guilty of the basest treachery to all peoples to whom in the past he has given promises. The right hon. Gentleman quoted almost the exact words which I used in the House on Tuesday. I said that the issue of peace and war rested in the hands of one man. I am glad that the right hon. Gentleman has to-night put it equally emphatically.
I never thought that I should quote with approval from a document of which Herr Hitler was the author, but in the proclamation to the Army which he issued at 6 o'clock this morning he said:
In order to put an end to this lunacy I have no other choice than to meet force with force from now on.
That is a sentiment echoed by practically every Member of this House. Then he goes on to say:
I should like to assure the whole world that November, 1918, will never repeat itself.
With that I entirely agree. And that brings me to what we are to fight about.
The party to which I belong, which may have faults but which can never be accused of cowardice, will issue its statement to-night to this country and to the world on the view it takes. That view, I think, is the view which I have expressed on previous occasions. I quote just one sentence:
The British Labour Movement therefore calls upon all its members to stand solidly behind it in resistance to aggression.
From that attitude we shall never depart. We shall enter the struggle without passion against people. I was glad when the Prime Minister used words which we had used in our official declaration. We have no quarrel with the German people; but while we have no passion against people we shall enter this struggle with a grim determination to overthrow and destroy that system of government which has trampled on freedom and crucified men and women—many of them friends of my own—and which has brought the world back to the jackboot of the old Prussianism. In the process of this struggle there will be far-reaching social and economic changes which at the moment no man can foresee, but out of the smoking ruins of the struggle will arise a new order of society. Once the gunfire ceases and the roll of the war drums dies away, after the greatest price mankind in all its history has ever paid to learn its lesson, dictatorship will have been destroyed for ever and organised labour here, and elsewhere in other lands besides ourselves, will play its part in building a new world from which war will be banished and in which a new order will be established.
There is a view among those who are now our enemies that might is right. I believe that right is might. I believe that at long last right must win, whether it be internationally or whether it be nationally. There is in the human spirit something which may be tortured and which may be temporarily suppressed but which can never be destroyed, and that is its determination to keep alive and keep fully aflame the lamp of liberty. My last words are these: I look forward, as we all do, with a very sad heart and with a sorrow that none of us can express, regarding the sufferings which must fall upon hundreds of millions of people, but, however great the suffering, however poignant the agony and whatever the sacrifice may be, I know in my heart that freedom and mankind's hope for the future cannot be quenched. I know that liberty will prevail;

It isn't easy being a democrat in Iraq. Consider the plight of Uday Abu Tbikh, an aspiring politician in his mid-30s from the holy city of Najaf. Two months ago, the interim government announced plans to hold a national conference to pick 100 members of a temporary national assembly, which would give some public input to the governing of Iraq before a parliament can be elected next year. Abu Tbikh was determined to participate and make his voice heard. "We believed it would be the solution to getting rid of the U.S. puppet government," he said. But when his local caucus...

Get Even looks to blur the single/multiplayer lines on Xbox One, PS4, and PC
The Farm 51, developers of Painkiller: Hell & Damnation, have revealed Get Even, a first-person shooter that looks to blur the lines between the single and multiplayer gameplay experience. With a trailer titled "What is Real?" released alongside the announcement, Get Even doesn't just make it difficult to discern real from fake in terms of graphics, but gameplay as well. Basically, think Dark Souls II-style invading in your game.
"Get Even subtlety removes the classic division between single-player and multiplayer experiences to unfold two linked stories," the official description reads. "When players embark on a single-player mission, others on the network can join the quest as enemies, so players never know whether their opponents are human or CPU-based."
So the whole, "What is Real?" question can also technically apply to actual gameplay as well. Which enemies are real players and which are AI? It's this suspense that The Farm 51 believes will "further heighten the player's feeling of a threat."
As for the actual plot, it revolves around "the memories of its central heroes" which have a "dramatic effect on how the game progresses." Players will be able to shape the personalities of characters through decisions made as the game unfolds. "The carefully crafted storyline mixes elements of thrill and horror with exploration," the description adds.
The actual teaser doesn't spoil too much, but it does give us a nice look into what sort of graphics we can expect when it releases in 2015 for Xbox One, PS4, and PC.

FLINT, MI—Mateen Cleaves has been dieting and watching the NBA playoffs recently, but he took a break on Saturday for a visit to Freakin' Unbelievable Burgers, a new gourmet burger restaurant in Flint Township.
"[The diet has] a lot of organic chicken, fish, no fried foods, but I'm going to get busy tonight. I'll just have to work out extra tomorrow," said a suited Cleaves.
The former Michigan State University basketball star was among the attendees at the invite-only ribbon cutting and VIP party for the new gourmet burger restaurant, 5100 Corunna in Flint Township. Flint Township supervisor Karyn Miller and other trustees also stopped by to enjoy free samplings of food and appetizers. Alcoholic beverages were charged, but proceeds were donated to Flint Boys & Girls Club.
Cleaves wasn't involved with the restaurant's conception, but he supported because it was a local business creating new jobs, and because they were working with the Flint Boys & Girls Club—an organization he has worked with for two years.
"We wanted someone who, when you think of Flint, that's who you think of," said co-owner Brett Skaggs.
"I've been a long Kentucky basketball fan, and I've been switching over to Michigan State, so it was cathartic for me," laughed Greg White, the other co-owner. "[When Cleaves played against Kentucky], he tore a dagger in my heart. But he's a great guy, and we're really glad that he came."
Skaggs and White own K and H Restaurant Group, which also owns Harvey's Grill and Bar in Saginaw and Bay City, and Hayden's Grill and Bar in Canton. The new restaurant came from what Skaggs and his wife saw as a need for a quality burger place.
"We couldn't find a place with a good burger. When we did find a place with a good burger, it had a bad environment," White said. "Then, when we found a great burger in a great environment, the price was too high. ... People work hard for their money, and they want to be able to go out with their family more than once a week."
While sampling burgers from head chef Tim Zimmerman, who the owners describe as "a mad scientist" because of his inventive recipes, Skaggs' wife described one of the burgers as "Freakin' unbelievable." The owners glanced at each other, and the title stuck.
"It's a lot better than 'Joe's,'" Skaggs said.
The restaurant specializes in gourmet burgers, with a customer's choice of protein—beef, chicken, turkey, fried portabella mushroom— and more than 40 different toppings. The eccentric Fusion Burger flaunts wasabi mayo, cream cheese, eel sauce, and fried wontons and some of its toppings. Customers who want more individuality may build their own burger with the toppings of their choice. Prices range between $4.99 and $6.99 per burger, and beer and wine are also served at the restaurant.
White says this is their best new venture yet.
"We've learned from all of our other ones," White said, noting that he and Skaggs have 17 years of restaurant experience between them. "With Harvey's and Hayden's, you can get food that tastes just as good, but you're going to be spending a lot more money [elsewhere]. But here, we actually do have the best burger."

Gov. Daniels: Indiana to share fair safety recommendations with other states
Gov. Mitch Daniels said Thursday that Indiana will share what it has learned from the August 2011 State Fair tragedy so other states can benefit.
Daniels thanked Witt Associates and Thornton Tomasetti, the two firms that were hired to investigate the stage collapse that killed seven people and injured dozens of others at the Sugarland concert Aug. 13.
"I don't think we could have done better than these two world renowned firms. I thank them for their thorough and professional work," said Daniels.
He added, "the State Fair Commission knows that we will insist on immediate and complete implementation of the recommendations in this report. But it's also now clear that most, if not all states, have been deficient in this area and have much to learn from this tragedy. We will share freely all these findings and suggestions with any state who will listen, starting later this month at a national meeting in Indianapolis about national safety standards for outdoor temporary stages and structures. The meeting is being hosted here because of the State Fair accident."
"We'd give anything to have that night over, but occasionally something positive can come out of terrible tragedy, and we have to do all we can to make that happen here."

Subjects taught at LSE | Services and divisions (administration)

Date: Monday 30 January 2012
Time: 6.30-8pm
Venue: Sheikh Zayed Theatre, New Academic Building
Speaker: Paul Mason
Chair: Dr Nigel Dodd
Our world is changing dramatically. Social upheaval has followed worldwide economic crisis and the gulf between the haves and the have-nots is widening. In 2011, this profound disconnect found expression in events that we were told had been consigned to history: revolt and revolution.
In his new book Why It's Kicking Off Everywhere which he will discuss in this lecture Paul Mason sets out to explore the causes and consequences of this current wave of struggle, illuminating the links between the economic and social crisis. He explores and analyses what lies behind the new revolutions – a volatile combination of the near collapse of free-market capitalism, new technologies and changes in popular culture, and a profound shift in our understanding of what freedom means. Looking at how new social media have impacted on how we behave and organize, Mason interviews activists on the ground and the people behind these new forms of collective action, providing an insight into the agile networks of Twitter- and Facebook-savvy young protesters supporting the viral spread ofinternational activism.
The economics editor of the BBC's flagship program Newsnight, Paul Mason is also one of the most influential journalists on twitter. He first reported live for the BBC on 9/11, and covered the collapse of Lehman Brothers in 2008 from outside its New York HQ. His television and online reports have tracked the social and economic impact of the global meltdown from the mean streets of Gary, Indiana to the elite salons of Davos.

Letter to the editor: Back Griffin for School Board
I am writing this letter to recommend John Griffin for the South Washington
I have known John for over nine years as a community-first person with a
great interest in helping the young people of the district. I have seen first
hand how John has volunteered to go beyond the norm to help in many
capacities. He is more than a passive 'write a check and let someone else
do the work' volunteer. John physically gets involved, takes immediate
action, and is not afraid to take on the difficult challenges. And, he does
so in a very positive fashion. He is supportive of the schools and its
programs and takes great pride in the community and all that it has to offer.
John's Four-Step Process Plan that emphasizes a "bottom-up" rather than
a "top-down" process for major decision-making is what a strong community
should embrace. His work ethic, integrity and leadership qualities make John
Griffin an outstanding candidate for the School Board of South Washington
County Schools.

"This is so easy and quick. I made this for lunch today to go with steamed artichokes which I made with Artichokes Steamed in the Microwave. I was extremely short on time and almost canceled making the artichokes, but found this. What a great way to cook them in just minutes. And they were perfect. Now the sauce is a long time favorite which is just easy. It is wonderful on a vegetable platter, also with fried vegetables as a lighter fresh sauce, grilled asparagus as an appetizer, and of course my "chokes." What a nice light appetizer. There was 4 of us and we ate quite a bit, but I love to make the whole batch and during the week I will add some with steamed vegetables. This is also a nice condiment on soups (my favorite is pea soup), in pita pockets. So don't throw the leftover out."
Sarasota's Simple Yogurt, Basil, Lemon Dipping Sauce
1 recipe photo
READY IN:15mins
YIELD:4 cups dip
Ingredients Nutrition
- 32 ounces plain yogurt (I like to use greek yogurt, but everyday yogurt is just fine)
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon minced garlic (more or less if you like)
- 1⁄2 teaspoon sugar
- 1⁄3 cup fresh basil, chopped fine
- salt
- pepper
- Yogurt -- The best way to do this if you have time, is to put the yogurt in a piece of cheesecloth in a strainer or colander and then in a small bowl over night (wrapped with saran wrap. This allows the sour cream to drain, so the dip isn't wet or runny.
- Personally, I had no time, but I did buy the greek yogurt which is a bit thicker, mixed everything together and enjoyed. Also, I have used this with just everyday yogurt and did not take the time to let it set over night and it was fine.

Denver, November 2, 1999 ? Shareowners of Qwest Communications International Inc. (Nasdaq: QWST), the broadband Internet communications company, today approved the company's merger with U S WEST, Inc. (NYSE: USW) during a shareowner meeting in Denver.
"I want to thank our shareowners for supporting our strategy of building Qwest into a worldwide leader of broadband Internet communications services," said Joseph P. Nacchio, Qwest chairman and CEO. "Today's vote puts another piece of our strategy in place. The new Qwest will be a growth company with unmatched scope and scale in the communications marketplace -- delivering significant value and choice to our customers, our shareowners and our employees."
Of the votes cast at the meeting, more than 97 percent of Qwest shareowners approved the merger. The transaction already has been approved by the Department of Justice and cleared by the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Federal Communications Commission and nine states in the U S WEST territory still must approve the combination.
The two companies said that they would work a series of initiatives that are expected to generate approximately $18.5 billion of pro forma year-2000 revenue and approximately $7.4 billion of pro forma year-2000 EBITDA (earnings before taxes, interest, depreciation and amortization). Nacchio and Solomon D. Trujillo, chairman, president and CEO of U S WEST, said they would assign people and resources to implement the initiatives.
Earlier today in New York U S WEST's shareowners gave their approval to the company's merger, casting better than 90 percent of their ballots in favor of the combination.
Qwest and U S WEST together will have a $65 billion market capitalization. The transaction will be accounted for as a purchase and is structured to be tax-free to U S WEST shareowners to the extent of the Qwest stock delivered in the transaction.
The strategic merger creates an aggressive competitor that will offer customers in the United States and worldwide more choice and greater access to next-generation broadband Internet and telecommunications services. The new company, to be named Qwest Communications International Inc., will employ about 64,000 people and be headquartered in Denver.

Argentine football association fined $33,000 for political banner
FIFA has fined the Argentine football association 30,000 Swiss francs ($33,000) after national team players stood with a political banner before a World Cup warm-up match, FIFA announced Friday.
Before a June 7 friendly against Slovenia, several players held a sign that read, "Las Malvinas son Argentinas," which means, "The Falklands are Argentine."
In 1982, Argentina and Britain fought a ten-week war over the Falkland Islands. The islands have been a British territory since 1833.
FIFA rules prohibit political statements at matches.
The Argentine football associated was fined 300,000 Swiss francs ($340,000) earlier this month after Argentine players did not show up to pre-match news conferences at the World Cup.

Samsung Galaxy leaves Apple iPhone behind
Korean giant posts record results for quarter and widens lead over Apple in phone sales
Related topics
Samsung Electronics, the world's top maker of televisions and mobile telephones, has reported a record profit surpassing analysts' estimates as it widened the lead over Apple in smartphone sales, thanks to its Galaxy devices.
Operating profit jumped 91 per cent to 8.1 trillion won (HK$56.7 billion) in the three months to September, the company said yesterday. The average of 32 analysts' estimates was 7.58 trillion won.
Earnings at the mobile-phone business surged 93 per cent in the quarter with the May debut of the Galaxy SIII and the Note, according to a survey of six analysts, helping mask a slump in profit from selling computer memory chips.
Television sales also helped Asia's biggest consumer electronics company, which lost a California patent trial in August to rival and key customer Apple.
"Smartphone sales were very solid," said Kim Young-chan, an analyst at Shinhan Investment. Smartphone shipments have increased significantly, easing concerns about marketing spending eating into profit."
The won strengthened to an 11-month high yesterday, a move that typically dampens the overseas earnings of companies when repatriated into local currency. Samsung got nearly 85 per cent of its revenue outside the country last year.
Samsung said third-quarter sales totalled 52 trillion won, compared with an estimate for 51.6 trillion won.
Operating profit might be 200 billion won higher or lower than the preliminary estimate when audited results were announced later this month, it said. The company did not provide net income figures or a breakdown of divisional earnings.
Third-quarter operating profit at the telecommunications unit, Samsung's biggest business, almost doubled to 4.87 trillion won after sales increased 80 per cent, according to the survey of analysts.
Samsung probably shipped 57.1 million smartphones in the third quarter, according to Daishin Securities' estimates.
That would surpass the 50.5 million units Samsung shipped in the previous quarter, a record amount for a single vendor, according to estimates from industry researcher Strategy.
Sales of the Galaxy SIII topped 20 million in the 100 days after its May debut, Samsung said. The company also is marketing the Galaxy Note II phone, equipped with a pen and a larger screen than the SIII.
Apple, lagging behind only Samsung in the smartphone market, last month started selling the iPhone 5 with a bigger screen, lightweight body design and a faster processor.
Samsung and Apple are also battling in court over patents protecting their devices, with each accusing the other of copying their intellectual property.

The Egyptian Tourism Ministry hopes that the coming New Year celebrations will bring up the number of nights spent by tourists in Egypt to as high as 35 million.
According to Al-Sharq Al-Awsat newspaper, during the first 11 months of 2000, the number of nights spent by Egypt's incoming tourists totaled 31 million, with a total of 4.4 million tourists visiting Egypt during that period.
The ministry believes that this number will grow to 35 million by the end of 2000, since the new-year celebrations this year coincide with the Islamic Eid Al-Fitter feast. ¯ (Albawaba-MEBG)

I recently had a hernia repair done in June. I had an outtie belly button my whole life and now that I have had this repair done, the surgeon did something and tried to make it into an innie. Now it is basically an innie, but the skin comes down at the top as if it were a fat short tongue. Also it appears that the hernia is still there, however my doctor says - although possible, he does not think it is the case. He thinks it is scar tissue. I want it to look like a normal innie belly button! How much would this cost and what procedure/s
How Much Would It Be To Fix My Belly Button After Hernia Repair? (Photos)

Depending upon the cause of your umbilical distortion a variety of treatment options may be available.Although your pictures and history are helpful, it's virtually impossible to make a specific treatment recommendation without a physical examination.For instance, it's important to rule out the presence of a recurrent hernia in your case.
Depending upon the cause of the umbilical distortion the cost of correction may vary.In most cases the cost of correction of this problem will range between $1500 and $2500.
Belly Button Revision
To ensure that you are receiving quality work at the most cost effective prices, consult with board certified plastic surgeons that own their own nationally accredited facilities. The quality must be maintained at the highest level to maintain accreditation. The surgeons also have incentive to hire and train quality staff (to ensure that surgery is efficient and enjoyable), to ensure comfortable and private facilities (to encourage referral), and to eliminate waste (to ensure that these facilities can compete effectively).
An person examination and consultation would be necessary to understand the scope of surgery.

It may be some fat withing the belly button stalk
Thank you for the photos. Although a physical examination would be needed prior to definitive decision on a surgical plan it may be that you have some fat from your hernia within your belly button stalk. The other possibility is that during your hernia repair the belly button stalk was positioned differently, perhaps slightly higher. Both of these issues can be addressed under local anesthesia if you are willing to do so or of course under general anesthesia, with local anesthesia being less expensive. The plastic surgeon fee will vary from surgeon to surgeon but should not be more than around 2 thousand dollars.
All the best,
Dr Remus Repta

Belly Button Surgery?
Thank you for the question and picture.
It will be of utmost importance to diagnose a recurrent hernia if it is present. It may behoove you to wait additional several months since you had surgery in June; this waiting may help differentiate a recurrent hernia from scar tissue ( which tends to soften up with time) sees.
If in doubt regarding the presence of a hernia is 2nd opinion and/or radiologic studies may be helpful.
The procedure performed would depend on accurate diagnosis.
Best wishes.

Fixing belly button after hernia repair
Hello Bellaelisa,
Correcting your innie is no problem and could be easily taken care of under local anesthesia in the office. It should not take more than $500. However, if your hernia has recurred, you need to have the appropriate studies done (ultrasound, MRI) to confirm. Hopefully, it will make things clearer for you. Best wishes, Dr. Horndeski

Small Lumps Have Appeared Under my Right Eye
Can Restylane Cheek Injection Leak into the Eye Socket As Nodgals?
Doctor Answers 4
Lumps after Restylane
Sometimes, Restylane injections can result in lumps that can be felt under the skin. Sometimes, the product can shift so that it is a few millimeters or more from the injection site. I see this more commonly around the lips, but it is possible around the eyes as well.
For most, massaging the area once it appears helps greatly to reduce the lumps.
Yes, high upper cheek filler injections can sometimes appear as lumps in the tear trough area.
Injecting filler into the upper cheek area does have the risk of some of the filler material spreading upward and appearing in the very thin skin of the lower lid, above the lower orbital rim/tear trough area. This is improvable, if caught early, especially during the injection. The upper cheek and tear trough area is a complex area to treat, and should only be attempted by experienced, careful board-certified dermatologists and plastic surgeons. This is not an area to treat casually.
Restylane nodules in eyelids.
Restylane does not migrate or "move", but can be massaged and softened in position. If the injection is close to the eye socket, the normal response is to absorb a small amount of tissue fluid, which adds to the overall bulk of the filler, meaning less needs to be used. Since the periorbital tissues are much thinner and softer overall than other areas, swelling is more noticeable, and even more care is needed to avoid nodules or undesired swelling. Injection too close to the surface of the (thin eyelid) skin can make any nodularity more visible also, which is why most injectors recommend that Radiesse NOT be used in this area.
Restylane nodules that are persistent and bothersome (that cannot be massaged into the desired degree of softness) and be reduced by judicious injection of hyaluronidase (Wydase), which is an enzyme that can dissolve the HA filler.

Restylane and lumps
It is certainly possible for restylane injections to the cheek to cause lumps in the lower lid region. These can often be massaged out if picked up early.

Picture This1 Mar, 2009 By: Response Contributor Response
Internet and television meet in the living room while American viewers learn the term DTV.
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) was scheduled to flip the switch. Following nearly a decade of planning, two years of public service announcements and $1.34 billion worth of consumer vouchers handed out to defray the cost of replacing bunny ear antennas with digital converter boxes, the feds were ready to shut down analog broadcasting by enforcing a February 17 mandate requiring all broadcast stations to transmit in digital.
However, after much wrangling, and a pair of votes in both houses of Congress, a Feb. 4 vote in the U.S. House of Representatives delayed the deadline until June 12, at the behest of the Obama administration and other parties concerned that too many Americans were unprepared for the switch.
With more than 6.5 million homes still not up to digital speed in January, according to Nielsen, the delay is not a total shock. Still, no matter whether those 6.5 million households step up in the interim, it appears that the new June date is a final hard deadline. When it finally comes, how will this change affect Sunday morning infomercial viewership?
"As an agency representing my advertisers, my main concern first and foremost always is, 'Are my advertisers getting optimal coverage for the budget they are spending?'" says Sandra Cercone, president of Scottsdale, Ariz.-based JBT Media Management. "Based on my research, nearly 22 million households are affected by the [digital television] DTV transition. Unless everyone is able to upgrade, our advertisers' potential customers could lose reception entirely. This is what worries me as the consequences of this will undoubtedly impact our clients' advertising efforts."
AppleTV offers Internet content, such as iTunes music and video, on your TV. This year's upgrade, introduced at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in January, offers movie rentals and downloadable TV shows.
So while more than 70 percent of the nearly 22 million households affected by the transition, have upgraded accordingly, that remaining 30 percent of outliers is still a concern for all television advertisers.
Pulling the Plug on Analog
Putting an end to analog TV broadcasting has been a treacherous process with still unresolved issues, and who could have foreseen the harrowing economy that 2009 would bring as this legislation started to materialize? But the opportunities that DTV brings more than compensate for transitional road bumps. With all-digital broadcasting, some of the freed-up analog space will be used for public safety communications and first responders, while other portions will be auctioned off to companies that will create even more advanced communication services, such as high-speed wireless broadband.
The benefit to broadcasters, marketers and consumers is improved picture and sound quality, as well as multicasting – a term used to describe multiple streams of programming transmitted from a single channel. For example, Channel 7 streams to Channel 7-1, 7-2, 7-3, etc. Or, it can also transmit one crystal-clear high definition channel. More streams mean more programming choices for consumers and potentially more advertising opportunities for DRTV marketers.
The ZvBox removes the middle man by turning a home computer into a streaming HD channel without the need for a set-top box. With this "localcasting," the stream can reach any TV in the house up to 150 feet.
"What the DTV transition does create is, hopefully, an exciting and major growth opportunity for advertisers everywhere," says Cercone. "With multicasting, advertisers now have the opportunity to reach a much broader audience on channels that didn't exist before. That is always good news in our business."
However, the many viewers who would have woken up to dead air had the switch occurred in February, was a grave enough concern to delay the process. Those who have been unable to upgrade to digital generally fall into two categories: either a local broadcaster could not reach their previous coverage area entirely with the new digital signal, or the consumer's TV was incapable of receiving digital programming.

IN the face of three national firefighter strikes, Gloucestershire Fire and Rescue Service is reassuring communities that a professional service will be maintained in the county.
The Fire Brigades Union has called for members to engage in strikes over national pension arrangements from 9am to 9pm on Thursday, June 12 and Friday, June 13 as well as Saturday, June 21 from 10am to 5pm.
Around 130 full-time staff and a smaller number of retained firefighters in the county are members of the Union and could potentially strike.
However Chief Fire Officer Stewart Edgar said: "We have significant contingency plans in place in the county, which have been proven to be effective in previous strikes."

Gordon, The Big Sick tells the story of Pakistan-born aspiring comedian Kumail (Nanjiani), who connects with grad student Emily (Kazan) after one of his stand-up sets. However, what they thought would be just a one-night stand blossoms into the real thing, which complicates the life that is expected of Kumail by his traditional Muslim parents. When Emily is beset with a mystery illness, it forces Kumail to navigate the medical crisis with her parents, Beth and Terry (Hunter and Romano) who he's never met, while dealing with the emotional tug-of-war between his family and his heart.

Hi there ladies,
We were very surprised to be pg with Margaret, and it took a long time to become adjusted to the idea of having 3 children.
Anyway, now she is here, and she is *high* maintenance....
that being said, I have to say that I'm having pangs of sadness realizing that she is our last.
I do *NOT* enjoy the first 6 months, so I'm not sure where this is coming from.
I'm getting too old to have any more (by my judgement), nor do we have the resources for another (again, by my judgement). All the same, if we were to magically become pg again, I don't think I would be too upset.
(Not that getting pg is within the realm of possibility at this point)
ramble, ramble....
anyone else feel a little conflicted about having more children?
Definitely. If you would have asked this question a few weeks ago, I would have said oh yeah, done for sure. But now that Emma is sleeping more, and her personality is emerging, I am thinking maybe not so sure she is the last one. She is so sweet, and is truly a joy to have (and I don't like the 1st 6mo, either). That being said, I'm not sure I want the responsibility of another child. I feel like I am just now adjusting to having two.
DH does not want anymore. I'm not sure we could comfotably afford another child. But, if I were to get pregnant again (not trying, preventing) it would not be the end of the world for me.
Lol, it truly makes a world of difference!
Not another for me, thanks. Not conflicted.
DH's unclothed penis will not come within ten feet of my vagina without a layer of latex on it until he gets snipped.
Not one bit conflicted.
Emily is super and if I KNEW I would get five more like her I MIGHT endure the insanity and frustration of pregnancy again...not sure if dh will, but I might...maybe. But this:
Rory is our last. I am happily done! I had a few panicked moments in the hospital thinking that she couldn't possibly be my very last little baby. I cried on the ride home thinking that I would never again meet my brand new baby for the first time, ever again. That I would never hold another one-day-old son or daughter again. Etc., etc. But once I got home and the toddler tackled the preschooler and the preschooler woke up the newborn and the newborn started screaming and the toddler started begging for lunch and the preschooler ground cracker crumbs into the carpet--I knew I was done!!! Haven't looked back since
We have always said two and we're standing firm on that. When I had my two miscarriages, we realized that just one would be OK, partially because our older son has Asperger's and partially because we were a family of three for more than six years before this pregnancy--though clearly we kept trying. Two is what we have the energy for, we think we can put two through university, and we almost feel too old to be doing the infant stage again. I am glad that I have to actively seek to get pregnant since women in my family tend to be very fertile, myself included.
I would have liked this Babe to be my last (with all my problems the last two times, I would prefer to not risk another pgcy). But, since I can't do BC, I can't say it will be (not to mention that I may be pg right now).
Quite honestly, I would love to be getting ready to have grandchildren. But I can't imagine having children younger than my grandchildren.
If I am not pg, I would not mind this WO being my last. And if I am pg, I would prefer this one to be my last. However, if we do end up with more, I would not be truly upset.
So, I guess I fall into the conflicted area.
we will be trying for one more, with dp carrying. of course, she has been freaking me out with talk of "boy twins" since we use fertility drugs to get pg. going from 1 to 2 hasn't been as bad as i imagined - i guess because ds2 is so easy-going.
we plan on charting again in november (if dp's cycles come back by then) and seeing our re in the spring.
Very likely not our last - I hope! We have two and originally thought of having 6 or so. HOWEVER, now that I have two, I'm just not so sure 6 is going to happen. I also just got a full time job that will require we wait a bit to conceive #3. We also do not use BC - but we chart and abstain during fertile times. I'll be honest - this isn't the easiest discipline right now - but it is absolutely worth it.
If I got pregnant - it would be really really tough with a new demanding job and two littles, but ultimately a blessing.
I have to admit though - I've had the thought that a family of two sounds just right a few times in the past few months. Two is keeping me VERY busy. Little buggars .
I'm 90% ok with Holly being the last. I have always wanted 3 kids, but I don't see it working out in terms of the timing with my grad program. :et's put it this way: we won't actively try to get pregnant again. And I think we'd be upset if I got pregnant accidentally again. But I do feel sad that I'm done.
Holly is such a sweetie, and I have always wanted a sister for Robin. I feel pretty lucky, and I love our family right now. I think no matter how many you have, you probably feel sad when you stop. I'm assuming that's the source of my minor sadness .
I hope not.
Logically, we'd do well to stop at two. In terms of finances, travel (we have family in 2 other countries, so we travel a lot), space, etc 2 is the logical number.
Plus, DS2's birth was hugely traumatic for all of us.
But my heart aches for a 3rd baby.
We're not making any final decisions right now.
This is very likely our last. With my 1 in 4 chance of passing on Muscular Dystrophy (and too "oops" babies with no MD) we just can't in good conscience have another baby... on purpose or otherwise. We had been talking about using donor eggs, but we're leaning more towards adoption in the future.
I always wanted three or four, but am definitely rethinking this. I don't want to be pregnant again, it is not a pleasant experience for me. When I think of my births, too, they were so amazing and incredible, but Ivy's was quite painful and sometimes I think, wow, childbirth, I'm in awe and inspired...but I'm done with that phase.
Breastfeeding takes so much out of me, too. The thought of never having to do it again is welcome as well. Ivy has reflux and I'm on a strict elimination diet and it hasn't been easy.
I think about homeschooling, too, and I think it would be easier for me with only two, especially this close in age. I can manage two. We can go out for the day and visit museums, etc. A third...I don't know about that. I'm the eldest of four and spent a lot of my childhood watching and worrying about the younger three. I don't think I want to do that to my oldest.
BUT! It is so hard to smell that little baby and not want a million more. I've been packing up baby clothes and am having such a hard time deciding to save or pass them on.
Totally conflicted. I think about it every day.
I actually get an antsy and anxious and sad feeling when I think that I would never get to experience this again. I struggle with myself to discount those feelings. I say, it must be your hormones or something, and then I think maybe it will change if I get past the one year mark.
Making me anxious just thinking about it now.
Oh no, I plan to have a few more yet I am just loving being a mama all the time really. I made a joke at my six week checkup that there ought to be a box on the PP form to check for "overabundance of joy" as well as all the depression stuff because I'd tick that box... I still feel that way, too. Seriously there has not been a moment where I've regretted anything at all - even though Bella started off needing to be attached almost all the time (even overnight). The most wonderful thing is that she regulated that herself and now can play happily with her rattles and suck her thumb if I need to do housework etc. I've been incredibly, extremely tired sometimes, to be sure, but it's just been lovely nevertheless. I really like being a mama, I really do. I'm so happy I annoy myself sometimes!
So gosh I'd actually really like at least three more...
I'm conflicted, but leaning towards 95% we are done.
Liam was our little surprise, so it was soo great to have the opportunity to be pregnant and labor a bit. His birth was bittersweet--homebirth turned cesarean birth, so I don't know in my heart I could stand another surgical birth...and I want a boat in the next 4 years.
Hubby wants to have a vasectomy, but hasn't done anything about it yet.
The best thing though is that I am a birth & postpartum doula so I get to be around childbirth & babies quite a bit
My truth is I want one more baby but I don't want to endure the anxiety and pain of another pregnancy.
My dh wants to have a vasectomy. I am not ready for that. I guess what I would really like is to get pregnant on accident and not know until 37 weeks. My midwife already said she would VBAC me....See? Its the perfect plan!
jtrt- that 3 week pregnancy plan sounds great, I'll take one of those as well. While we're at it, I'd like to deliver a baby that's about 2 months old!
My two month old baby is already over 16 pounds...I'm pretty sure my cervix would go on strike!
I thought so mostly because DH didn't want more but now he's willing to talk about TTC when she's about a year. I'm very happy about that.

American superstar and undisputed Queen of the Alpine Skiing World Cup will join the prestigious 'Briko dream team': When Lindsey Vonn, ESPN Female Athlete of the Year and Olympic gold medalist, was given the chance to choose her new helmet provider, the choice was obvious it had to be BRIKO.
Burlington, VA (October 25, 2010) — She is an icon of women's skiing, a champion capable of winning in all disciplines, a star attracting the media's attention even when she is away from the ski slopes: Lindsey Vonn is a model for women's professional alpine skiing. This weekend, the beautiful American champion will embark upon a new adventure in the World Cup "with a head start", by choosing Briko as the supplier of her helmet. "Being part of the Briko team is going to be really awesome Lindsey said enthusiastically Just looking at the names of those that have been part of Briko's program so far, you immediately understand that you really become part of the elite of world sport, not only of skiing".
Briko will supply Lindsey with the Phoenix helmet, a successful racing model with shell in ABS and thermoplastic resins, applying Briko's BHPTR technology, and then personalized with the blue and silver of her personal sponsor, Red Bull. "It's not just a matter of prestige (which is nonetheless always good). It's also because of the technical expertise of a brand that has been a leader in the skiing sector for over 25 years – continued Ms Vonn – and of the safety guarantee that only a brand like Briko can grant. Moreover, the Phoenix helmet has a perfect fit; I immediately felt comfortable".
The Phoenix helmet the result of the work carried out by the BrikoLab research & development center has proven to be the perfect helmet for Lindsey, capable of combining the highest possible safety standards (it is certified to the European EN 1077 Class A, CSI FISI and, obviously, the American ASTM F: 2040 standards) and the professional needs of an undeniably great champion. "Lindsey Vonn's athletic talent is apparent:she has won practically everything everywhere, and she is still young underlined Briko's Chairman, Mr Carlo Boroli -: having such an outstanding athlete in our team means that our products can really boast a high technical value – a value that, also thanks to Lindsey's suggestions, we will then transfer to our models targeted at the general market, i.e. to anyone wishing to ski safely".
Lindsey has won three Grand Crystal Globes – three consecutive overall World Cups which she won thanks to 64 podium results and 33 victories: a record which makes her the most successful American female ski racer in history. In 2008 Lindsey Vonn was the first American woman to win the World Cup since Tamara McKinney in 1983. In the same year, she also won the downhill discipline title. Her C.V. also includes several world championship medals (two gold medals in Val d'Isre in 2009 and two silver medals in Are in 2007) and, particularly, two Olympic medals: in Vancouver she won the bronze medal in Super-G and the gold medal in downhill, her favorite discipline.
After starting her career as a speed specialist, over the years she has become increasingly competitive in technical disciplines as well. In 2007 she married former team mate Thomas Vonn. The two now travel the world cup circuit together, with Thomas acting as one of Lindsey's coaches.
Twenty-six-year old Lindsey was born in St. Paul, Minnesota, but currently lives in Vail, Colorado. She admits she has a very special relationship with Italy: "I got my first podium in the World Cup in your country, in Cortina d'Ampezzo.Since then, Italy has been in my heart:imagine how thrilled I was with the opportunity to work with a brand based in
