Forensic evaluations are often very crucial in the outcome of many court cases. This article will discuss the importance of forensic evaluations. It will also explain how and when forensic evaluations are completed. There is also a discussion of the roles in which the psychologist and the lawyer play in the performance of a psychological evaluation.
What is a forensic evaluation? What types of forensic evaluations are there? What is informed consent and how does it apply to forensic evaluations? How is competency defined and how is it tested? What documentation style is used in research reporting in the field of psychology? This paper will explore the different aspects of a forensic evaluation and how it was important in court hearings. It will also discuss what type of formatting is to be used when reporting about it.
In my research of forensic evaluations, I learned that without them there is no way of knowing how much punitive damages a plaintiff should be awarded, or which parent is best suited to have custody of a child.
I also learned that ?questions asked in a forensic evaluation differ from standard clinical or therapeutic evaluations?(Lally, 2003, p. 492).
The first article dealt with informed consent. It explored what parts of the responsibility of gaining informed consent fell on the psychologist performing the evaluation and the litigant?s lawyer. By the end of the article it was found that it was the responsibility of the psychologist to inform the litigant of the details of the psychological evaluation. However, the psychologist is not qualified to give any legal advice, even when it comes to the legal consequences of completing or not completing the evaluation. The lawyer must advise his/her client of all of the legal ramifications involved with the psychological evaluation. (Foote & Shuman, 2006) I...

Citation: Goldman, J.J., Springer, T.L. 2009. Susceptiblity of Texas, Kentucky, Canada, and selected hybrid bluegrasses to greenbug biotypes 'E' and 'F'. American Society of Agronomy Meetings. Pittsburg, PA. Abstract #52136.
Interpretive Summary:
Technical Abstract: The greenbug, Schizaphis graminum (Rondani), can be a serious pest of wheat, Triticum aestivum L., and other small grains in the southern Great Plains of the USA. Texas bluegrass (Poa arachnifera Torr.) is a perennial cool-season grass and because of its heat tolerance and persistence in this region, it is of particular interest for development as a quality forage plant. In an effort to determine the susceptibility of Texas bluegrass to greenbug, biotypes 'E' and 'F', the predominant biotype found in this region and a type known to infest bluegrass, respectively, were used for screening. Twenty five Texas bluegrass genotypes, three Kentucky bluegrass (Poa pratensis L.) genotypes, a Canada (Poa compressa L.) genotype, two Texas x Kentucky hybrids, and a Texas x Canada hybrid were screened. Biotype E, F, or both were capable of reproducing and causing damage to plants of all species and hybrids screened. On the basis of higher aphid numbers, biotype E had a higher reproduction rate as compared with biotype F on Texas bluegrass. Significant differences in damage to both biotypes were found among Texas bluegrass genotypes. Some genotypes (9/25 biotype E; 13/22 biotype F) did not support greenbug population growth. Both Canada and Kentucky bluegrass where highly susceptible to biotype F and interspecific hybrids varied in their damage response with both biotypes. Controlled crosses and progeny screening with Texas bluegrass are planned in an attempt to determine the genetic control of resistance in order to maximize breeding efforts.

Congress Poised To Jam Through Reauthorization Of Mass Surveillance• technocracy.news By Jason Pye
Congress doesn't have much time left on the legislative calendar for the year, but there's still a lot on the agenda to get across the finish line. In the few remaining days, Republicans hope to pass a tax reform bill and either another short-term continuing resolution or an omnibus to fund the government.
Another item on the agenda is the reauthorization of Title VII of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA), including the controversial Section 702.
The current authorization for Section 702 expires on December 31, and it's the first time Congress has faced this reauthorization since Edward Snowden's earth-shattering disclosures about the National Security Agency's mass surveillance apparatus. Committees in the Senate and House have competing proposals to reauthorize the program. But with the clock running out, Congress once again appears to be poised to jam through reauthorization.

Jesuits and other heretics, part 1
I know, loaded headline- all to be read with a spark of subtly facetious cynicism. I mentioned the Jesuits before, and what perfect timing! These last few days I turned on my ears and deduced that it was "Degrade Things I Don't Understand" week with some folks around town. I shall elaborate. First, "The Golden Compass." Critics have been giving mixed reviews. After all what do we expect? Another fantasy film is bound to be a bit predictable. But I've not been hearing cinematic criticisms. I've been hearing content criticisms. The word on the street is that the movie is anti-Catholic. PAUSE. Now, it's terrible to profile but I do it anyway, so here it goes: the people living in the USA of 2007 who complain about the moral content of movies probably also subscribe to a broader reactionary ideology. So, let's go on a joyride with this premise. American Society always was and is an anti-Catholic social structure. Should it shock us that a purportedly anti-Catholic movie surfaces? Then again, this movie has British influences which makes perfect sense- we all know that those crazy, progressive Europeans are lost! But before we get lost there, let's back up. Philip Pullman, the author of His Dark Materials (the book on which the film was based), did not direct this film. Regardless of Pullman's beliefs or comments regarding the RC Church, Chris Weitz directed this film. Mr. Weitz found something he liked in the book but nevertheless intentionally departed from the book's more overt anti-Catholicism and was met with stiff criticism from censorship groups and Atheists. To think! People angry that the movie wasn't anti-Catholic enough! Anyway, Weitz and Pullman surely share some of the same convictions- that stuff about questioning unquestioned authority. Oh, but here comes the heresy: is this so bad? I don't think that even the most intellectually bankrupt Christian will argue that God gave us brains for no reason (then again, I suppose somebody will step up to bat on this one). Yeah, the Trinity and Mary's Perpetual Virginity are mysteries but many things aren't. Exercising mental discretion is a good thing, perhaps necessary. I don't suppose members of the Church hierarchy have ever abused power or betrayed trust. (Please don't read US newspapers from the last decade or any accurate history book). Ah yes, clergy can't screw up. No concupiscence there! This is probably true in any institution. Uh oh, here comes anecdotal evidence: I recently made a move in my Catholic Fraternity to establish some type of mechanism for systemic oversight. Inevitably the question came: "But do we really need this. I mean, we're a Catholic organization. Can't we trust each other?" Yep, it's true: human nature is subsumed by systems. Back to the movie... Nothing sounds more noble than Latin and in "The Golden Compass" villain is called the "Magisterium." As one fine young man recently put it, "The bad guys are called the Magisterium, I mean, literally, the Magisterium. Can they make it any more obvious?" The answer is "no," "no they can't- to me" (whoever "they" are, but that's neither here nor there). The connection is crystal clear to me- 14 years of Catholic school and some seminary; of course, I know that the Magisterium is the official "teaching authority of the Church." To the rest of the world, does this ring a bell? You know, magister means teacher, etymology..huh? I guess I'm not much for conspiracy theories. Let people speak for themselves if possible. Said Weitz regarding anti-Catholicism in his film: "If that's what you want in the film, you'll be disappointed." Heck, even Nicole Kidman pitched in her two cents, "the Catholic Church is part of my essence. I wouldn't be able to do this film if I thought it were at all anti-Catholic." Of course, we may still think what we like; we just can't maintain that these folks meant it that way- which is entirely the argument I've been hearing. Nope, "The Golden Compass" merely addresses thought control- and not even the most orthodox, right-thinking Catholics want the Church to be described that way. Indeed "In the books the Magisterium is a version of the Catholic Church gone wildly astray from its roots" (emphases mine). This comment from Weitz reminds me of what the beloved Bishop Fulton J. Sheen once said: "There are not more than 100 people in the world who truly hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they perceive to be the Catholic Church." Even if I'm wrong, even if Weitz was lying through his teeth, even if there was an organized plot with Pullman to undermine the Catholic Church in this movie, cui bono, to whose benefit? The Atheists? People aren't leaving Church in droves since the movie appeared. The Devil? We never know who's going down with that hell-raiser. Money? Money is supposedly the false-god that drives the film industry and yet this flick has been grossing a good deal less than expected. Bill Donohue and the Catholic Action League call for a boycott, a bunch of people stay away, fewer dollars come in, and guess what, Pullman wins the moral victory! Instead of engaging or at least ignoring "dangerous ideas" zealots took the bait, made a stink about it and validated the all the delicious irony that Pullman savored. Ultimately, I can't see how this movie is morally consequential. It tried out for the team, barely made the cut, and now sits on the bench with Harry Potter, bored as hell, watching child abuse, marital infidelity, and sexual exploitation play hardball. Frankly, I thought "The Golden Compass" was mostly about a little girl riding around on a Coca-Cola mascot in a Winter Wonderland- perfect for Christmas! If you don't believe the Weitz and Kidman quotes see them for yourself at the link below- but ultimately, don't let the facts get in the way. http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/main.jhtml?xml=/news/2007/10/14/npullman114.xml

This week, I had three guest posts at Keepapitchinin: The Mormon History Blog.
The first was a response to unfortunate materials I happened to see online about Wilford Woodruff's vision or dream of the Founding Fathers:
The second was an Eminent Women post I've been working on for more than a year:
The third was another Eminent Women post that didn't get quite as much time and attention as the post on Caroline Blake Hardy:
Working on all three posts was quite a remarkable experience.

I have experienced a lot of loss in the last six years, but *nothing*, including expectation, prepares you for the loss of your mother.
I am going through the phases, complicated by heavy demands on my time at work, needing to deal with the paperwork of death 😦 , and my dad. I have had a few wonderful dreams where mom has visited and hold them dear. Sometimes, like now, I feel more detached from the loss (acceptance?), other times I am raw with pain.
I try to respect the emotions of others and how different individuals process emotions differently. I try not to judge. There is a segment of the family that is detached, uncaring on some level. I am putting together a slide show of memories of Mom for our thanksgiving, they will not be participating. Their lack of participation is not about their grief, but about their apathy towards someone they claimed to have loved.
These are the things that change family dynamics forever. I am not angry at them, I just don't like who they are as people very much.

Can the painted ones be used to put candles in ? does the light come through or is the paint too thick ? i was thinking of doing the splatter design …. I have a party coming up and wanna put decorated jars out and around the back porch
joyce says
love your jars and ideas. . . thanks for sharing
Danielle says
Great ideas, BUT….. I've dried using Folk art acrylics on mason jars, no matter what I do it scratches off so easy. Doesn't matter if I use inside or out. And forget putting a second coat on, as soon as u try to brush or touch the first layer loosens and gets clumpy in the new paint.
Angie Holden says
Hmmm…I have had these for years with no issues. Something I would try is cleaning your glass well with rubbing alcohol before starting. It sounds like oils for your fingers or something that is preventing the paint from sticking.
jocelyn says
genius <3
i love the fabric + paint combo. your collection of ideas adds so many more possibilities to my list of mason jar plans this year. thank you for sharing with us!
Hi Angie,
I've got a bunch of clean, plastic peanut butter jars. Do you think plastic will work as well?
BTW, I love buying those Hobby Lobby acrylic paints and use them often.
Angie Holden says
It should work fine!

Duke of Hazzard by Blockhead from the 2007 album Uncle Tony's Coloring Book on Ninja Tune.
Blockhead, born Anthony Simon, began writing raps back in the early-to-mid 90s, eventually making beats instead of spitting rhymes. Not much of a techie, Blockhead is still using the same sampler he picked up circa '94. Apparently it works well enough to make beats for his foremost cohort, Aesop Rock, as well as other indie hip-hop MCs like Murs, Atmosphere's Slug, Mike Ladd and others. Based in Manhattan, Blockhead is also a founding member of a hip-hop/comedy group that goes by Party Fun Action Committee and is associated with the Def Jux label. On Uncle Tony's Coloring Book, a primarily instrumental affair, Blockhead playfully — and effortlessly — shifts between rump-shaking renditions of jazz, funk and electro grooves.
Dukes of Hazzard however, also throws in some crazy blues guitar soloing and one of the few examples of scratching in these tracks. No matter which way you spin it, this is a really fun album and the culmination of a lot of hard work with little recognition to show for it. Cozy up to his MySpace page after eyeing this video for

'A few earthquakes in the Himalayan belt is possible'
Bangalore, January 31, 2001, 8:00 pm IST Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur, seismologist, at the Indian Institute of Science, Bangalore, received many question on the present quake and when and where the next quake was most likely to strike.
Administrator : Mr Vinod Kumar Gaur, seismologist, will log on from Bangalore at 8 pm IST. His Chat is on the recent Gujarat earthquake, the causes and the reasons for their occurrences. Find out everything about earthquakes and the situation in Gujarat.
adi : any one there?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : Hello everyone, I am here now to answer all your questions on the quake....
anilwawa : Is it true that there were indications given much earlier htat earthquakes could occur but these were not paid heed to?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : I don't think that there were such clear indicationa that could have evoked a definite plan. Besides, the earthquake has been of such prodigious magnitude that much damage would have been causewd anyway in the epicentral tract.
bbb : Gaur garu, will there be more earthquakes in Gujarat? Or where is the next quake most likely?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : very good question which we must attempt to answer over the next months and years. But like a good diagnosis, it would require extremely advanced diagnostics of the earth. This is possible and will hopefully be carried out by the country's scientists.
bbb : Some reports claimed that the next quake will be in Assam given the way the tectonic plates are moving. Is this true?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : There is no scientific indication yet available to so definitely pinpoint the occurrence of the next earthquake. But a few very large earthquakes appear to be a distinct possibility along the Himalayan arc, North of the Gangetic Plain in this century.
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : The Republic Day earthquake was precedede by a similarly large earthquake in 1819, which caused the earth to create a natural dam about 80 km long, not very far towards the North West of the current rupture.
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : The Republic Day earthquake was precedede by a similarly large earthquake in 1819, which caused the earth to create a natural dam about 80 km long, not very far towards the North West of the current rupture.
pravin : can india devolop disastor management team for such large natural calamity
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : There is enough knowledge and potential expertise available in India to develop a disaster management strategy which actually means minimising our vulnerability to natural hazards such as earthquakes.
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : The Republic Day earthquake was precedede by a similarly large earthquake in 1819, which caused the earth to create a natural dam about 80 km long, not very far towards the North West of the current rupture. This earlier earthquake indeed created an 80 km long natural dam which came to be known as Allah Bundh (a dam created by God.) This can still be seen today by visitors to the area.
SPR : Hi prof Vinod. Good evening. What excatlly is the magnitude of the quake. I keep of hearing lot of different versions
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : The magnitude of the quake is 8.7 with an uncertainty perhaps of 0.1.
rshanx : Given that prediction of earthquakes is not precisely possible, what do you recommmend Governments, authorities should do?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : I believe that on the scientific front, we should try to develop knowledge products that would yield a value for risk at any given geographical location for various time windows in the future and different levels of hazard intensity. On the technology front, we should attempt to develop modern information technology systems and computer connectivity to eventually produce an Advance Warning System. On the adminstrative front, it would be well to legislate for a National Disaster Mitigation Act as an instrument of policy and adminstrative implementation to translate the fruits of scientific knowledge and technology in reducing vulnerability of different communities at all levels.
SPR : Is there any good way of predicting the quakes? Can it be done?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : Not that I know of.
Bhasker : Dear Gaur, Understand that in US, artificially created earthquakes reduces the risk of such eqs of higher magnitude. Can this be done in india too ?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : An earthquake as large as the Gujarat earthquake is about 30,000 times as energetic as the ones that keep happening near Koyna. In order to release this energy in a large number of the smaller quakes would mean having a few such quakes almost every other day, ie, if it were humanly possible to so distribute its energy. Some day it maybe so when someone will have to make a social choice as to whether you would like to live with tremors , even small ones, every other day.
shaeleshmaheswari : hi gaur siris there any chance of earthquake in rajasthan
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : Earthquakes in continental interiors repeat after long periods (several thousand years) of quiescence. All evidences of earlier ancient earthquakes on the continent are therefore easily lost and every new quake appears as a surprise. It is difficult to say therefore if one such event will take place in Rajastan. There is however a scientific way to resolve this question and that is to detect minor puckerings of the earth's surface that often precede the final outburst by fracturing of the crust. Such small deformations of millimetre scale can now be detected by GPS geodesy but will require extensive measurements over a long period of time.
KRISHNENDU : Mr Vinod you did not answer me whether these quakes are the repititions of what once happened in Mohenjodaro & Harrappa
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : I don'ta have enough definite knowledge of the place of occurrence and size of Harappan earthquakes. But if you are referring to the decline of that civilisation, you should perhaps read modern texts which ascribe it to climate change.
gaurav : sir from yesterday there have been some shocks in bombay of increasing intensity are there chances of a bigger shock in baombay
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : Aftershocks of such a large earthquake could reach a magnitude of six which will have 800 times less energy than that of the main shock. Such large after shocks may happen any time over the next few weeks.
Prasanth : why is that even after knowing the area to be in Zone V , the IMD , did not insist on the buildings being quake proof
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : I don't think it is the function of the IMD to tell people to have their dwellings designed according to building codes which are freely available. Enlightened citizens who have enough resources to build pucca buildings have also the responsibility to inform themselves of the available stock of knowledge generated at considerable cost and made available to all literate people.
shyam : Mr Gaur,why is it that earthquakes cannot be predicted
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : Because the science of earthquakes is different from astrology!
Shivani : how prone Calcutta is to such quakes considering that fault lines are in north Bengal which is not far away from cal
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : Calcutta is situated on a several km thick deposit of aluvium which greatly amplifies the seismic vibrations. One should therefore try to answer your question rather urgently, but it will require a lot of study concerning quake diagnostics in the Himalayan region and of the undercarriage of Calcutta to be able to answer your question in a meaningful way.
Srinivas : Mr Gaur is it true that scientists across the world are not capable of predicting the exact time of an earthquake
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : Yes.
sashi : is the earthquake a direct reason of pokaran test
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : No.
Administrator : Mr Gaur seems to be experiencing technical problems. He'll resume shortly.
Sathish : Hello sir,What type of perventive measure we need to take to avoid this kind of quake in future..
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : 1) We should quantify the intensity of hazard expected at agiven geographic location for various intensities and different time windows in the future. 2. We should design appropriate building codes and have regulatory measures to enforce them for different kinds of structures. 3) We should make an inventory of vulnerable structures and make a plan for retrofitting them in order to make then resilient to an expected natural hazard. 4) We should have strict regulations for land use and urban planning and enforce them unremittingly. And finally, we should engender a consciousness for building a resilient community through education, training and continual mass communication at every level.
tetris : rshanx: We could be better prepared ourselves. Expecting a govt which has time only to hold on to power is pointless.Atleast public awareness should be increased.
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : The world over, it is the community preparedness and initiative as well as individual initiative that guarantees safety. Even the best Government in the world cannot be a substitute for enlightened action at the private and community level.
hkailas : Sir, Good Evening. I have read in several articles that birds and animals can detect earthquakes much earlier than human beings. Are there any research going on in this area to find out how these animals detect earthquakes and how to apply this knowledge to develop an earth quake warning system?
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : There have been several claims by people that unusual behaviour of animals preceded the occurrence of an earthquake. But all these claims have been made in retrospect, that is after the occurrence of the event. There is no case history of any kind that tells us of such distinctly anomolous animal behaviour which people could have interpreted as a portent of an impending earthquake and therefore it has not been possible to use it as a predictive tool.
Rao : dr. gaur, there is some confusion regardingthe intensity of the earth quake as most ofthe world centers measuring at 7.9 where as IMDmeasured it at 6.9. I also read Harsh Gupta sayingit as 7.9. In this context do youagree with IMD's assertion with theirnumber is correct. Is it not essential thait has to be measured properly fordefining zones for the future.
Prof Vinod Kumar Gaur : This will be my last answer in this chat, as we are running out of time. There are various magnitude scales which seismologists determine from different parts of the recorded wave form of ground motion. The high amplitude waves which throw seismographs off scale in the vicinity of a large earthquake make it difficult to determine this magnitude with the same reliability. The first determination of IMD was therefore presumably based on whatever parts of the seismogram could be read in the initial hours. They accordingly quoted a local magnitude called ML as 6.9. The US institutions which could see the long surface waves clearly had the advantage of being able to determine the surface wave magnitude MS soon after the event. This quoted as being 7.9. Later, with more data from South and East, IMD was able to determine the surface wave magnitude which was given as 7.8 quite close to the US value.

This exotic-sounding windchime is tuned to the scale of the gamelan degung.
This deep sounding wind chime takes you to the volcanic South Pacific, where magical music is heard every day on the Indonesian island of Java. Tuned to the musical scale of the gamelan degung (suggested to us by the pioneer American composer/instrument builder, Lou Harrison), the Javanese orchestra's intrinsically beautiful music combines simple elements to produce intricate textures. This lush, shimmering sound captivated and inspired musicians from the West such as Claude Debussy and Erik Satie. In fact, Satie first heard a Javanese gamelan orchestra play at the Paris Exposition of 1889 and incorporated its hypnotic effects in his exotic work, Gnossienne. The Chimes of Java will inspire and hypnotize you as you listen to its mysterious melodies.This chime carries a lifetime tuning guarantee.

Neal A. Maxwell Quotes About OvercomingQuotes about: Overcoming
Though we have rightly applauded our ancestors for their spiritual achievements (and do not and must not discount them now), those of us who prevail today will have done no small thing. The special spirits who have been reserved to live in this time of challenges and who overcome will one day be praised for their stamina by those who pulled handcarts.
Walking and overcoming by faith is not easy. For one thing, the dimension of time constantly constrains our perspective. Likewise, the world steadily tempts us. No wonder we are given instructive words from Jesus about the narrowness and the straightness of the only path available to return home: "I am the way, the truth, and the life" (John 14:6). And then he said, "No man cometh unto the Father, but by me." Jesus laid down strict conditions.
These really are our days, and we can prevail and overcome, even in the midst of trends that are very disturbing. If we are faithful the day will come when those deserving pioneers and ancestors, whom we rightly praise for having overcome the adversities in the wilderness trek, will praise today's faithful for having made their way successfully through a desert of despair and for having passed through a cultural wilderness, while still keeping the faith.

The party continued onward with their investigations of the cursed treasure and found themselves heading toward the cavern inwhich the treasure was held. Once inside, they were attacked by the spirit of Vhalnirr. After defeating him, the party was able to locate a ledger with a list of all the treasure in the cave and there were several missing pieces. The party than returned to confront the O'neal about who these piece were sold to. After a painful argument with a butcher who has purchased two of the cursed items, the party was able to recover them and set their sights on gather the rest of the treasures.
The party found themselves invited to a celebration by Callum O'neal . After arriving near [[ O'neal the party made their way through the small town of EagleRock. After staying the night there, they agreed to deliver a package for the barkeep and quickly arrived in O'neal.
Once there the party explored the city a bit before delivering their package. From here they sought at Callum's home where they stayed for the few days before the party started. The group encountered a number of different nobles from Oas, most of whom came off quite rude. Ultimately, however, the party turned out to be just Auction for an item that belonged to the Order of The Dawn. The trinket was purchased, however, as luck would have it it was cursed. This caused the woman who bought it to instantly die, prompting Callum to send a party member to retrieve a member of the McTires. After the mess was calmed, Callum revealed that he had taken the item from a treasure horde the order of the Dawn had hidden in the mountains near there. He explained that if this was cursed… It likely all was and he had already begun to sell the items.
The Party took to the skies and began handling a series of side quests
The party exited the drow fortress and began making their way toward one of the large locations marked in Red on their map of the Under dark. Along the way, they encounter a cavern Dragon, but he was scared off by Seron leaving the location. A few days later, the party found that they were being pursued by what they assumed was the mother of the prince dragon they had killed.
During this time, Danica located Goblin tracks that Seron was able to trace back to their layer. Inside the goblin layer, the good found a strange glass portal but ignored it for a time despite it glowing when something was slain. As they continued going through, they soon found themselves face to face with a demon that seemed to be controlling the Brood mother. The group slew the demon before moving on and executing the Brood Mother using the Everblade.
It was then upon exploring the rest of the cave that they found the location where the Angel Barchiel appeared to not only be alive but trapped. She touched her hand to the glass before being pulled back into the shadows of the crystal but some dark mysterious force. While this occurred Icette fell to the ground screaming in pain as the gods spoke to her. She awoke with a formula for the God Serum and a Message for the Goddess Alandra: "Resurrect her."
As the party continued on with their new companion, they crossed a long underground desert with heavy winds that beat against the group and made travel very difficult. After traveling for roughly half a day, they were attacked. The party fought and killed the dark Jinn. Despite trying to find it's nest, they were unsuccessful and moved on.
The broke out of the desert area and soon found themselves moving through large hill lands where they ran across a small hut. Inside, after some convincing, they were able to trade some goods with an old drow woman before once again heading north toward a mushroom forest.
Once in the forest the group picked exotic fruits and kept heading toward what they believed was the goblin nest. While in this mushroom forest, party was attacked by Drow that quickly killed their animals and warned of Fort Dread!!
The group found themselves entering the Underdark through a long underground tunnel leading. After following the tunnel for several miles, the group came to a massive fortress with Old Mino banners all over it.
Upon exploring the keep for a bit, the party found corpses that were 100s of years old. All with their skulls cracked out. A diary from one fallen soldier indicated that the fortress had been taken over my monsters that no one else could see. It indicated that they would have everyone acting normal and going about their day as the monsters slowly ate their brains.
The party eventually made it the world room and Seron was able to duplicate one of the maps of the area of the Underdark the party was in. At this time they were suddenly attacked by an Umber Hulk and it's kinfolk!
After defeating that creature, the party continued onward heading towards one of the strange markings on the map. Soon the party found themselves with only the light of glowing crystals overhead to navigate by. After encountering a number of aggressive creatures, the party eventually began seeing glowing green stones on the ground. After deciding to steal one of the larger crystals growing from the earth, the party was attacked by a large emerald dragon. The Dragon stated that he was the prince of this land and began attempting to kill Danica and Seron. He failed.
Deciding that it was best for them to not continue (Fearing they would meet the mom) Danica and Seron turned around and headed toward a different landmark. After several more days and several more monsters, the party arrived at a small house by an underground river. Close by the party found a mill that was producing a blue flour from nearby mushrooms and turning it into a sort of bread.
After camping for a bit, it was noted how many spiders were on the ceiling above the mill and before the party knew it they were engrossed in a battle with tons of giant spiders that resulted in Seron burning the web and essentially sending out a giant flare for everyone to see for miles!
The group then booked it down the river, before eventually crossing. Soon the party located a real road and found themselves walking past ruined houses and spider carvings. One night on the road, the group was even passed up by a massive 2 story scorpion that rushed past the group.
Finally, the party arrived at the map location that turned out to be a temple to the spider queen Lolth Inside the party found a specter containing a powerful mana stone and a device that transfers life from one victim to another host. Unaware of what the device did, Seron ended up give up 3 years of her life to make Danica 3 years younger. The Group ended up being the staff to steal the mana stone and leaving.
Continuing on their way the Seron began to hear the cries for her from a young girl. After much searching, they were able to meet with the girl who was reaching out telepathically. The girl was a Mind Flayer, the same type of monster that killed the entire McE Keep. She explained that she was not a brain eater and because of that her family wanted her dead. She begged the party to help her and get her to the surface before her family found her. They agreed…..
The party began by Celebrating their return with a large feast held in Leo's honor. Leo and Seron spent much of the night night together while Danica found herself being followed by their golem. After not seeing Gronn or Sir Phineas, Danica found the two of them practicing a special attack together off at the airship. Meanwhile, the groups newest companion Kirean met with his contact who called off the hit on Leo.
In the morning the group discussed plans to head toward the underdark to deal with the goblins and left Gronn with some plans for an armored wagon. Sir Phineas also mentioned wanting to put some weapons onto the Airship and the group agreed.
On the road, the group was made aware of both a woman following them from the skies by Golem 66. Despite trying to find her, they had no luck. That night night the group found themselves under attack by Goblin riders and then ultimately by undead. After the fight, the group attemtpted to clean up when they noticed that Seron had been bitten by what they could only assume was a vampire.
As the party moved out of the forested areas near Beals on the flat open plains leading to the serptine tongue Mts. They still had the distinct feeling that they were being followed. The next day, the group found themselves running across a large stag torn in half. Seron located tracks and the group soon found themselves moving though a small chasm. Seron soon after was attack by a large Frost golem that she dropped almost instantly with little effort. Near it they located his dead owner with a book entitled "Building a snow golem" and a cracked controller gem.
With that at an end, the group once again continued pushing towards the under dark.
The party located the closest of the trials of Azel and made off toward the keep Salt Mist. Talking with them Leo and Menith, the group set off for the long trip ahead. The group may or may not have befriended a golem who logic his way into traveling with them!
Once at Salt Mist, the group entered inside and was immediately attacked by a large wormlike monster that shot fireballs over the castle walls. The group fought the worm, who eventually retreated to the underground. Entering into the keep, the group fought several ghost before eventually running across the ghost of the Lord of the keep, a McTire.
The ghost then explained that the others haunt the house after their horrible deaths and that their moaning and screams made it hard for him to haunt the keep himself. He offered to tell the group where the trial was if they could kill the ghost so he could get some rest. Naturally the party did and went from room to room slaying the ghost before returning to Lord McTire. He explained that the trial was in a hidden passage under the nursery. At some point before returning to see Mctire, the group climbed one of the towers of keep and fought the worm one final time. The worm had wrapped itself around the tower threatening to bring it down.
After a brief searching of the McTire's treasure room, the party went down into the trial. The trial was more a series of combats then anything else . At the end, there was a large field with one sacred tree and a ton of King's root. Leo ingested the root in an attempt to trigger a vision and in doing so collapsed. While this was all going on, the group was attack by more guardians. Eventually however Leo awoke with new knowledge and understanding that they were all wrong. At first Leo could not talk, but eventually the former inquisitor began to open up about the things that he'd seen on his spirit quest.
After returning to Beals, the group split and met with their various friends. In the church of the red, Marcellous explained to the group that Nikolia and several other high ranking inquisitors he'd been fighting with had mysteriously chosen to leave town. He then introduced the party to a new comer to the town that chose to join the group for now.
After this, Danica left the church to speak with Gron who had finished the airship. Unfortunately Gron built the ship to large and it was determined that there was not enough power with the mana stone they had to make it fly.
While this was occurring, Seron was across town with Icette and Leo trying to make sense of his visions. Leo came to the conclusion that a war was coming and that he was to be a soldier in it. That the world eater curse was sent to punish his people for poorly worshiping Azel, and that he needed to take up the mantle of the paladin as a follower of Bahamut who gladly accepted him.
Later that night Icette spoke with Azel about a request she had regarding her family. Icette wanted the group to escort her to the grave site of her father within the Highhills. This was a particularly interesting proposal for the group as the Highhills were know to be the #1 spot to mine raw manastone.
Finally the night ended with Leo coming to meet with Seron to ask her out on a date. He was awkward and unsure of himself, but for once he was honest about his feelings. Luckily for him, she said yes.
The party found themselves heading out toward an abandon tower per the instructions of Leo. With them the group brought their new travelling companion Sir Finigan. The travel was mostly easy going and along the way the group met up with a troup of travelling merchants being defended by some caravan guards. After doing some business with them, the group continued on toward the tower. There were few distractions along the way and Seron even ended bounding with Icette over Tarot readings.
Nearing the tower, the party began to see signs of a large predator. There were dead animals, burned by acid, and corpses torn in half. It was at this point that the party knew these were the actions of a Dragon of some kind. This made Finigan uneasy as he refused to sleep and remained completely armored. After getting closer to the tower, Seron was able to Identify that the dragon was in fact a drake of sorts. With that knowledge the party approached the tower and which was cover in flying jellyfish.
Soon a battle to place with Danica rushing the jelly fish and Seron downing the dragon with arrows through it's wings. Sir Finigan finished the job by running it through before coming to help Danica who had all but destroyed the remaining Jelly fish.
Once inside the tower, the group found their inquisitor kneeling before a statue of Sabriel praying. Seeing the group with Leo's ring, the inquisitor bowed his head and accepted that they were there to kill him. After a brief explanation, The inquisitor came to the conclusion that the group was sent there by the will of Sabriel. He also revealed that his last name was Hippogrif meaning that from his perspective, Gron's prophecy was about him. While the rest of the party was not as sure, the inquisitor was certain and renounced his faith to Azel.
The group returned with no trouble on the roads to Beals where they found Gron still plugging away at his boat. The inquisitor reunited with his former brothers and they all went off for a chat. A short time later, the group was taken back but the inquisitors all fighting and storming off in different directions. It was at this time that Danica received a book from Menith about Azel when she was still a mortal. Danica gave the book to a very down Leo and explained it might help.
Later that night Seron awoke to a loud knocking coming from outside her door. Upon opening the door she found Leo standing outside in the rain, half shaven and drunk. He broke down to her and telling her that she was right all along and that he thought the inquisitors had been following Azel wrong. He explained that he was confused and alone. He told her of Azel trials, dungeons designed to test the worthiness of Azel's followers. He then pleaded her as a friend to help him find one of these trials so that he might find his truth….

NOTE: This is the old review for this product. In 2017 we posted a new, updated review which you can access here.
It's interesting how reviews usually work out. Seems like I can go a month or two without anything much to talk about, then suddenly a ton of new stuff comes out at once. My next review is of the new Skruf XTra Stark (Slim). This release is the newest in a line of slim portions released by Skruf, following the newest Slim/Fresh Mint snus they released. I personally am very excited to see more companies embracing the long/slim portions - as these fit perfectly and are truly the most comfortable way to enjoy snus. This release is a long portion version of their XTra Stark, which I reviewed in February of 2010. The can is much like the mint Skruf, a sleek grey looking can with the four dots to denote a strength level of 4 - which is the strongest on the SkrufScale of Power. This is the first version of a current product that they have released a second version in long form. We'll see if this follows in any of their other variants. So, moving along to the new release from Skruf - Skruf XTra Stark (Slim) Portion.
One thing I've always enjoyed about Skruf is their inclusion of rose oil in the recipe. While they have a traditional and classic bergamot snus, the inclusion of rose oil pairs really well with it and adds a lot to the recipe. Skruf XTra Stark, having 19mg (estimated) of nicotine is one of the 3 strongest snuses in the world - along with 06 by Swedish Match and Oden's Extreme by GN Tobacco. These portions are really unique - they look like a mix between white and original - still a little white but with dark moist tobacco seeping through. They're very comfortable in the lip, however, and the taste is spot on with Skruf XTra Stark Portion, rich tobacco with a bergamot flavor mixed in and hints of rose oil. The classic Skruf taste but now in a long portion. Very good stuff - especially for Skruf fans, if you want a long portion this would be right up your alley. I'm hoping those holding out on releasing long portions will begin to move forward with this new endeavor, as it truly is the most comfortable way to enjoy snus.

Whats new at Santa Barbara Zoo?
Created by Chiodo Bros., a top Hollywood creature shop, the amazingly lifelike T. Rex can run, roar, snort, growl, sneeze, blink, and even poop, as an operator inside Duncan controls his actions. "How to Train Your Dinosaur" is a comedic, family friendly show in which the hosts use Duncan to demonstrate the special care received by the Zoo's animals and how certain behaviors can be trained – such as allowing his teeth to be brushed by a giant toothbrush. (The Zoo's gorilla's teeth are brushed daily with a normal toothbrush). The show is performed twice daily, at 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. beginning May at the Zoo's Rolling Hill Stage. Shows are weekends only until June 15, then Wednesdays through Sundays. Shows are free with Zoo admission, and spectators view the show from outdoor seating on a grassy hillside.

NEW YORK (Reuters) - The euro hit an 11-month high against the dollar on Monday as fading prospects of an interest rate cut in Europe bolstered demand, while world share markets ticked lower following recent gains.
The common currency was up 0.2 percent at $1.3365, having hit a high of $1.3404 earlier for a hefty 2.5 percent jump since European Central Bank President Mario Draghi dampened expectations of further monetary policy easing in the near term.
Europe's FTSE Eurofirst 300 index .FTEU3 of top companies fell 0.4 percent but was still near a two-year high. The MSCI International ACWI price index of global shares .MIWD00000PUS was 0.2 percent lower but remained near an 18-month high.
U.S. shares were slightly lower as investors awaited an onslaught of corporate earnings reports. While some early numbers, notably from Alcoa Inc (AA.N), have indicated strength, many investors worry that uncertainty over the recent fiscal impasse in Washington may have pressured companies in the quarter.
"I think there's going to be more misses than hits in terms of revenue and margins. It's going to be a little bit light this earnings season compared to the last one," said Peter Cardillo, chief market economist at Rockwell Global Capital in New York.
The Dow Jones industrial average .DJI was down 22.16 points, or 0.16 percent, at 13,466.27. The Standard & Poor's 500 Index .SPX was down 5.82 points, or 0.40 percent, at 1,466.23. The Nasdaq Composite Index .IXIC was down 20.07 points, or 0.64 percent, at 3,105.56.
The Nasdaq was pressured by Apple Inc (AAPL.O), which fell 3.5 percent to $501.71 after a report it had cut orders for LCD screens and other parts for the iPhone 5 this quarter due to weak demand.
Equity markets have risen and most major currencies have gained against the dollar so far this year after U.S. lawmakers struck a deal on taxes, easing fears of a sudden fiscal tightening that would slow the economy. Chinese data, which has begun to show a pick-up in momentum in the world's second- largest economy, has added to the optimism.
Japan, the third-largest economy, is embarking on a new strategy to lift itself out of recession, weakening the yen substantially but boosting Tokyo stocks.
The dollar's value against a basket of major currencies .DXY floated around its lowest levels since the start of the year.
Chicago Federal Reserve chief Charles Evans, a voting member of the Fed's policymaking committee this year, underlined the better outlook by forecasting the U.S. economy would grow 2.5 percent in 2013 and 3.5 percent in 2014.
Evans added that markets could be confident the U.S. central bank would take action to boost the recovery without letting inflation take hold, although he did not refer to any further Fed easing.
The benchmark 10-year U.S. Treasury note was up 8/32, the yield at 1.8377 percent.
Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke will speak on the outlook later in the day and investors will scrutinize his remarks for any clues on how much longer the Fed's bond purchase program will last.
Any suggestion that the Fed is in no hurry to end its quantitative easing program would probably lead to the dollar softening further against higher-yielding currencies such as the Australian dollar and those of faster-growing emerging economies.
The Japanese yen was flat at 89.17 yen against the dollar. Previously, the currency touched a 2-1/2-year low on expectations that a round of aggressive monetary easing is coming soon in Japan.
Prime Minister Shinzo Abe reiterated on Sunday his calls for the Bank of Japan to set a 2 percent inflation target and pursue bolder monetary easing to end nearly two decades of deflation.
Abe, who has already announced a huge budget stimulus for the Japanese economy, said he would appoint a new head of the central bank who shares his views when Governor Masaaki Shirakawa's term ends in April.
"The confirmation that there's going to be a push for a new governor (and) that new governor is going to have a mandate of 2 percent inflation - that plus the fiscal stimulus is a major negative for the yen," said Callum Henderson, global head of FX research for Standard Chartered Bank in Singapore.
Tokyo markets .225 were closed on Monday for a holiday but MSCI's broadest index of Asia-Pacific shares outside Japan .MIAPJ0000PUS rose 0.5 percent on the statement, remaining near a 17-month peak set on Friday.
The growing optimism over the outlook for the world's biggest economies helped commodity prices recover from last week's decline. Oil also benefited from a resurfacing of fears about a disruption of supply from the Middle East.
A cut in Saudi Arabian production last month, pipeline sabotage in Yemen and a weather-related drop in Iraqi shipments have reduced output, while fighting in Syria and Iranian naval exercises in the Strait of Hormuz reminded investors of the risk of wider disruption to Middle East supply. <O/R>
Brent crude gained 0.2 percent to $110.83 a barrel while U.S. crude was down 0.3 percent at $93.33 a barrel.
Copper edged down 0.3 percent to $8,020.75 a tonne and gold was rose modestly.

The New Hampshire primary has its own history. Here are some terrific resources to share with your students to put the Granite State's first-in-the-nation primary into historical perspective.
This video (5:36) describes the history of the primary, from when it started in 1916, through 1952 (beginning of the "beauty pageant" election), to the present, and how and why it asserted its first-in-the-nation place on the electoral calendar.
This short essay lists the five biggest moments in New Hampshire primary history:
- 1952: Truman loses to Kefauver, which forces Truman to drop his re-election bid. Eisenhower, a candidate for just one month, defeats Taft.
- 1968: McCarthy's strong challenge to LBJ forces Johnson to drop his re-election bid.
- 1984: A surging Gary Hart defeats a heavily-favored Vice President Walter Mondale.
- 1992: Clinton survives disclosure of his infidelities and casts a second-place finish as a moral victory.
- 2008: Hillary Clinton stops (temporarily) Barack Obama's momentum after his surprise victory in the Iowa caucus.

A CREWE man who knifed a stranger through the liver and heart has had his five-year manslaughter sentence increased by a year.
Timothy Davenport, 38, of Ford Lane, was sentenced to jail in Chester Crown Court last November after being found guilty of the manslaughter of Boughey Distribution warehouseman Colin Jones, 27, in Hightown, Crewe, two years ago.
Lord Justice Mantell, sitting with Mr Justice Royce and Mrs Justice Cox, agreed with submissions made on behalf of the Attorney General, Lord Goldsmith QC, that five years was 'unduly lenient'.
The judge said at the very least the appropriate sentence would have been eight years, but he set a new term of six years because the father-of-three was facing 'triple jeopardy'.
This was because he was effectively being sentenced for a second time, after already having faced a retrial due to a first jury's failure to reach a verdict.
Acquitted of murder, Davenport was found guilty of manslaughter on the basis he lacked the necessary intent for the more serious crime.
His wife lived in Crewe and, for some time before the killing on August 18, 2001, he had been working away in the south west of England.
In the early hours of that day, he'd been driving in his van with his 14-year-old son. In the vehicle was property he had stolen some months before from his workplace, the Saxon Cross Motel in Sandbach, including a set of chef's knives.
The knives were in the well of the van, near the driver's feet.
Lord Justice Mantell said the victim, Mr Jones, of Rigg Street, Crewe, who was 'much the worse for drink' on the fatal night, was strolling along the pavement with two women, before walking 'somewhat unsteadily into the road'.
What happened next was not clear, but the judge said he was prepared to accept Mr Jones was abusive towards the van driver and may have tried to kick the vehicle.
'Davenport, taking the largest of the knives from somewhere near his feet, got out of the van and, in a confrontation between him and Mr Jones, thrust the knife into Mr Jones's body - penetrating the liver and eventually entering the heart,' said the judge.
He noted the knives were not being carried as a weapon in the van, but were there because he had stolen them some time previously.
The judge added: 'At the same time, it is to be recorded, he deliberately took out a knife before getting out of the van to confront Mr Jones, something which was entirely wrong of him, however badly Mr Jones may have been behaving.'

Acting Head of Faculty: Mr S Leonard
Teaching Staff: Miss J Edwards
Level of teaching: Key Stage 3, Key Stage 4, Key Stage 5 at The New Sixth
Religious Education is certainly in some part, about the beliefs that people hold and the reasons for them. Beliefs stem from experience and give rise to a rich variety of practices and expressions. These expressions, which we may call religious, are of immense and central importance, for they give meaning, reality and purpose, to the lives that people live.
But Religious Education is also about the examination of self. 'What is it to be human?' What is it to be spiritual? It is about engaging with some of the big questions in life. 'Why are we here?' 'Why is there something rather than nothing?' 'Is there a God who has a plan for me?' Not all people are religious, but all could be termed 'spiritual', recognising that it is essentially human to inquire, to seek answers, to find meaning to who and what we are, and to what we do. Religions are responses to the spiritual and all may profit greatly from the study of them.
At St Mark's, the reality of our experience is rooted in Jesus Christ. Therefore much of the RE offers an exploration of Christian teaching, its expressions, and celebrations. We are a community in faith that expresses that faith. In RE we also examine the religious faith of other religions, or none. The study of religion is current, relevant, and rooted in the reality of the modern world and its concerns. Units of study allow for the examination of British Values within wider religious values, and also within the 'Religion and the Media' unit, issues of ideological conflict and the potential radicalisation of religious views.
Students are invited to come to the study of religion with an open and enquiring mind. It is an exploratory journey, mindful and respectful of the beliefs of others and respectful of the students own beliefs. It is challenging, it is demanding, it is most of all a journey that can enrich the lives of all, whatever one's own beliefs or background. Students speak positively of RE as a result." It helps me to understand so much of myself and others" (Yr 7 Student)
The Religious Education programme at St Mark's follows a syllabus derived from the B&NES Locally Agreed Syllabus 'Awareness, Mystery and Value' while taking account of the QCA non-statutory guidance in RE and the requirements of the school's Anglican Foundation. In line with the school's Mission and Educational foundation, the department works closely with the Chaplaincy, the LEA and SACRE, and also the Diocese of Bath and Wells.

Course Code: A Level Religious Studies Edexcel
Exam Board Specification: http://qualifications.pearson.com/en/qualifications/edexcel-a-levels/religious-studies-2016.html
Students who take this course:
Students should enjoy discussion, expressing their opinions and justifying their comments. They should want to develop their critical and analytical skills. This subject equips students with problem solving, communication and presentation skills and therefore is an excellent choice of subject for those thinking about Law, History, Education & Medicine. It is also ideal for students who want to keep their options open for further study. Students should have a minimum grade B in RE and grade 6 in English Literature.
However it is not always necessary to have studied GCSE RE and we will consider other applicants based on other Humanities and English grades.
This course will be an opportunity to study some fundamental questions which people have always asked about life including: How should we behave and act in society? What is the purpose of life? Can we prove God exists? Is there Life after Death? What is the value of scripture in contemporary society?
It will encourage you to deal with controversial ideas about belief and values and will give you the confidence to express yourself using reasoned argument and evidence. It will focus on using the writings of key scholars to explore differing viewpoints about the development of the ideas. It will develop transferable skills of informed discussion and engagement with a range of texts and opinions which are a valuable basis for progression to higher education.
Course Description:
There are three themes to be studied in this course with each area of study equating to a third of the overall course. Each theme will be examined in a separate paper.
AS and A Level students will, in Year 12, be taught together. Those wishing to only do it to AS Level will be examined at the end of Year 12. Those wishing to continue to A Level will sit their exams at the end of Year 13.

Double-digit price increases for key construction materials pushed up construction costs in March, while the prices charged by contractors remained moderate, according to a new analysis of federal producer price data released today by the Associated General Contractors of America. Association officials urged policy makers to avoid adopting restrictions on international trade that would add to materials costs and potentially drive up the price of infrastructure, buildings and new homes and apartments.
"Prices have jumped in recent months for diesel fuel, steel, copper, wallboard and lumber—materials essential for houses, nonresidential buildings and infrastructure projects," said Ken Simonson, the association's chief economist. "Contractors generally cannot pass these costs along on projects that have broken ground, and the data show they have not been able to price new buildings at a level that reflects their rising materials, services, and labor costs."

"We've been kicked in the teeth over and over," said David O'Rear, a Hong Kong-based economist, referring to the financial crisis that rippled through Asia in 1997 and the terrorist bombing in Bali in 2002, followed by the outbreak of severe acute respiratory syndrome.
The toughest recovery is faced by the area's ravaged travel and tourism industry. Western tourists are canceling trips in droves, forcing airlines, hotels and government tourism organizations to revise marketing strategies.
While popular tourist destinations such as Thailand's Phuket are nearly back on their feet and others, such as India's Goa, were not affected at all, Tourism Malaysia has temporarily halted its global TV campaign and AirAsia, an Asian budget airline based in Kuala Lumpur, has already dropped its new route between Phuket and Singapore.
Thai Airways International expects a significant drop in first-quarter revenue at a time of year that is usually peak season. The airline has not disclosed any marketing changes, but will look for ways to bring people back, and that will be the challenge over the next three to six months.
short term
But those in the tourism industry anticipate a rebound. "It's hard to say at this point, but my sense is that unlike the Bali bombings, which continues to impact tourism there, this will be a short-term situation," said Mark Webster, Bangkok-based managing director of JWT Thailand, Thai Airways' agency.
Others also don't anticipate long-term business effects from the disaster. "India's economy is slated to grow about 6.5% this year, and I don't expect the tsunami to have a major impact on those growth prospects," said Ambi Parameswaran, Mumbai-based executive director for India at Interpublic Group of Cos.' Foote, Cone & Belding Worldwide.
"Our clients are still in shock," said Phil Mulholland, deputy managing director of Publicis Groupe's Leo Burnett, Bangkok, but business is moving on. "None of our clients have revised or even talked about revising their plans for 2005 because of the disaster," said Steve Dodds, managing director of Omnicom Group's TCP- TBWA in Indonesia. "
Mr. Mulholland said that while his clients "haven't pulled or altered any advertising, some marketers, such as Procter & Gamble, are sending staff to affected areas to help distributors and retailers rebuild their businesses.
Ad agencies are also helping out. Publicis Groupe made a $1 million donation last week. Half the money is going to the Red Cross, and half will fund local organizations' re-building projects. Local agencies are also fund-raising in honor of staffers who were injured or killed.
