THURSDAY, JANUARY 13 PROGRAM # 9502 12:00 PM PT “Chavela.” (Repeat). The film “Chavela: Trailblazer, Rebel, Icon,” showcases the life of the late ranchera singer Chavela Vargas. Born in Costa Rica, Chavela moved at an early age to Mexico City, where during the 1950s broke with Mexican mainstream conventions by dressing in pants, drinking tequila, smoking cigars, and singing rancheras “macha” style. The film also delves into her battle with alcoholism and the breakup with the love of her life. This is a conversation with the film director. Guest: Daresha Kyi, Film and TV Director and Producer, “Chavela” Film, Atlanta, GA “Vanishing Frontiers.” Donald Trump launched his campaign to the presidency maligning Mexicans as “criminals,” “rapists,” and “job-stealers,” and calling to build a wall. A distinguished policy analyst tells a different story on Mexicans and Mexico. Mexican investments have helped save jobs in the US, and thanks in part to a bridge across the border fence San Diego and Tijuana are becoming a single metropolitan area. These and other compelling stories that paint Mexico as a thriving source of innovation and talent are included in the book “Vanishing Frontiers.” Guest: Andrew Selee, President, Migration Policy Institute, Author of “Vanishing Frontiers: The Forces Driving Mexico and the United States Together,” Washington, DC.

San Juan senior Delaney Palmer (#34) crushes the ball past Union defenders at the 3A state tournament in Orem as Whitnie Ivins (blue, left), Hope Holliday (white), and Ta’ssi Su’esu’e (#20) look on. Palmer collected 40 kills in four games at the tournament, and the Lady Broncos finished fourth. Richard Kaer photo The San Juan High School volleyball team finished the regular season with 21 wins and four losses. They won a second straight region championship with a 10-0 record. They were the top ranked team in 3A volleyball headed into the postseason and the team to beat on paper. Unfortunately, paper doesn’t stand up to fire, and none of those accomplishments earned wins at the UCCU Center at Utah Valley University in Orem. The site of the 3A Utah State Volleyball Championships was where the Lady Broncos hoped to erase the heartbreak of the 2018 championship game loss to Morgan by bringing home the 2019 title. The tournament started as planned. After a first round bye, San Juan picked up an easy second-round sweep of the Providence Hall Lady Patriots in round two. It was more of a battle in the quarterfinals with the Lady Broncos taking on North Sanpete. But San Juan shot down the Lady Hawks in four sets to advance to the semifinals for the second straight year. And that’s when everyone watching the tournament could see the future and fate hunting the Lady Broncos. As San Juan was wrapping up their win over North Sanpete, their eventual semifinal opponent, Union, was embroiled in a life-and-death struggle with the Grand Red Devils. It had gone to the fifth set, and Grand had the Lady Cougars pinned, leading 14-6 and serving match point. For several minutes, all a viewer could do was sit with mouth agape as Union rattled off ten straight miraculous points to stun the Lady Red Devils and storm into the semifinals. The Lady Cougars had lit a fire that eventually carried them straight through to a state championship. For San Juan, it was unfortunate that the pathway led directly through Union. The top four teams according to the 2019 UHSAA RPI standings were the final four teams battling for the state championship. Though they were ranked fourth, Union was far from an underdog in the semifinal matchup with #1 San Juan. The Lady Cougars were Region 14 champions with a perfect 12-0 record. They finished the regular season with an impressive 26-4 overall record. San Juan knew it would be a fight to the death when the teams met. Sadly for the Lady Broncos, it was. The entire match was a back-and-forth duel with the lead traded repeatedly. In the first set, San Juan fell behind 23-15. They battled back to within two points before Union scored to win 25-22. The second set brought the only lopsided result of the match – a 25-15 win for Union. The Lady Broncos stormed back in set three taking the Lady Cougars to the wire. San Juan served two set points, then Union served one before the Lady Broncos got a big ace from Ta’ssi Su’esu’e to take a 27-26 lead. They won the next ball to stave off elimination by the skin of their teeth. In the fourth set, San Juan fell behind 6-1, but rallied to tie. Union built another lead, to 12-6, but San Juan climbed the ladder again to take their first lead of the set 14-13. From that point the Lady Cougars took command, outscoring the Lady Broncos 12-6 to win the set and the match 25-20. The loss broke San Juan’s spirit, and when they met Region 12 rival Richfield in the third place game, their hearts were clearly not in it. The team they had already beaten twice during the regular season swept them out of the tournament, 25-16, 25-20, and 25-16. It is San Juan’s second straight top four finish, but it is no consolation. In the Lady Broncos’ defense, Union caught fire after their incredible comeback win over Grand and went on to capture their first state volleyball title in 43 years, knocking off four-time defending champion Morgan Lady Trojans. Understandably, that’s no consolation either. The Lady Broncos will recover to be sure, but over the course of about an hour at UVU on October 30, the hopes and dreams of the 2019 San Juan volleyball team were crushed. It’s especially bitter since five of the eight varsity players will not return next year due to graduation. But despite the tough conclusion, it was an excellent season, and players and coaches alike can hold their heads high. Lady Broncos head coach Kelli Keyes expressed appreciation. “I was very proud and honored to coach these girls,” she said. “My assistant coaches, Jana Rogers and Ally Anderson, were absolutely superb. It really was a great year.”
Othniel Charles Marsh M.A PhD LL.D (October 29, 1831 - March 18, 1899) was one of the leading paleontologists of the 19th century. He discovered and named many fossils found in western North America. Early life Marsh was born in Lockport, New York, into a family of modest means. However, he was the nephew of the very rich banker and philanthropist, George Peabody. He graduated from Yale College in 1860. He later studied geology and mineralogy in New Haven, and afterwards paleontology and anatomy in Berlin, Heidelberg and Breslau. He returned to the United States in 1866 and was appointed professor of vertebrate paleontology at Yale University. He persuaded his uncle George Peabody to establish the Peabody Museum of Natural History at Yale. Career Marsh and his many fossil hunters were able to uncover about 500 new species of fossil animals, which were named by Marsh himself. In May 1871, Marsh uncovered the first pterosaur fossils found in America. He also found early horses, the Cretaceous and Jurassic dinosaurs Apatosaurus and Allosaurus, and described the toothed birds of the Cretaceous; Ichthyornis and Hesperornis. Marsh is also known for the so-called "Bone Wars" waged against Edward Drinker Cope. The two men were fiercely competitive, discovering and documenting more than 120 new species of dinosaur between them. Marsh eventually won the Bone Wars by finding 80 new species of dinosaur, while Cope only found 56.

Intralink wins prestigious Queen’s Award 24 April 2018 See more posts on General We’re proud to announce that Intralink has won a Queen’s Award for Enterprise — for success in the field of international trade. The Queen’s Awards for Enterprise recognise “outstanding achievements by UK businesses” in overseas trade, innovation, sustainable development and social mobility. Established in 1965 by Royal Warrant, they’re the most prestigious official accolades for UK companies. Our Award will be presented in our Oxfordshire headquarters by one of the Queen’s Lord-Lieutenants. We’ve also been invited to a Royal Reception at Buckingham Palace to meet Her Majesty The Queen. To compete in the category of International Trade, we had to showcase our history, our vision and what sets our company apart. This involved a rigorous process to prove we’ve achieved “outstanding continuous growth over the last six years” and that we practise strong corporate social responsibility through our support for charities. We explained our distinctive approach of not just developing market expansion strategies for our clients but playing a hands-on role in building their businesses overseas. We outlined the breadth of countries to which we’ve provided our services. In 2016/17 alone, these included Germany, France, Finland, Israel, Norway, Spain, Switzerland, the USA, Canada, Australia, China, Hong Kong, Japan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand. Greg Sutch, Intralink CEO, commented: “We’re thrilled to have won such a significant accolade. It’s a wonderful recognition of our distinctive approach and the talent and hard work of our employees. It’s also an endorsement of the close relationships we have with our clients and the results we’ve managed to achieve together over the years. We’re all immensely proud of this Award — and looking forward to telling the Queen more about Intralink later this summer!” Greg Clark, Secretary of State for Business, said: “The UK has some of the most entrepreneurial and innovative minds in the world delivering jobs, growth and greater choice for consumers and I’m proud to see these businesses being recognised.” Her Majesty The Queen has commented: “The Awards are widely recognised as a highly valued mark of excellence, across many sectors, in a diverse and competitive business market. “Having watched the Awards established in my name grow in stature and influence, I continue to be impressed by the way they have given opportunity to big organisations and small, enabling them to project themselves on the world stage using an internationally recognised symbol of excellence. I hope that their success will help future generations and inspire many other businesses to follow their example in the years to come.” Share: Share on Facebook Share on Twitter Share on LinkedIn Share on Email Sign up For our news and blog posts Newsletter signup First name Surname Email Your personal data is safe with us.

Centrists Kathleen Parker Kathleen Parker is published in more newspapers than any other American columnist—and she recently declared her independence in a powerful column titled, appropriately, “Declaration of Independence.” Viciously attacked from the far right after she dared to question Sarah Palin’s selection in '08, Parker has long been a smart, funny, skeptical voice from Main Street America. Like most Americans, she doesn’t appreciate being shoved into an ideological straitjacket—and she’s emblematic of the vast vital center of American life, who distrust the arrogance and intolerance of absolutists. Reason requires an independent perspective—and it is a message aided by a resilient sense of humor. Alex Wong / Getty Images David Brooks Brooks defines the dimensions of vital center each week, angering professional partisans by refusing to toe either party line in a bid for true intellectual consistency. He argues for the endurance of the politically homeless Hamilton-Lincoln-Teddy Roosevelt tradition of limited but activist government that encourages individual entrepreneurialism. A onetime National Review columnist, Brooks has insisted on giving President Obama a fair but not uncritical assessment, dubbing him a “center-left pragmatic reformer.” From his high-profile perch, Brooks has been writing about the rise of independent voters, the possibility of a third party emerging from the center, and the possibility of a “saner, updated version of Ross Perot” running for president. “He’ll point out that Washingtonians, all of them, breed selfishness. Republicans refuse to accept tax increases. Democrats reject spending cuts. They’ve put the country on a highway to a fiscal crisis, and there are no exit ramps.” Michael Smerconish His nationally syndicated radio show now begins with the radical centrist theme song from Reservoir Dogs—“ Clowns on the left of me; Jokers to the right; here I am, stuck in the middle with you.” The longtime Republican endorsed Obama in the ’08 election and more recently declared his independence from both parties in a high-profile column written his hometown Philly Inquirer. In it he wrote: … Which is not to say I feel comfortable in the Democratic Party, either… All of which leaves me in a partisan no man's land, albeit surrounded by many others, especially my neighbors. By quitting the GOP, I have actually joined the largest group of American voters”— independents. Matt Miller The “Center” in NPR’s Left, Right and Center, Matt Miller has made himself into a one man centrist think tank. The L.A.-based former Clinton staffer brings the policy substance to the centrist movement in books like The 2% Solution: Fixing America’s Problems in Ways Liberals and Conservatives Can Love and The Tyranny of Dead Ideas. He’s an advocate of using conservative means (like tax credits and school vouchers) to achieve liberal goals—while creating a smaller, smarter government. Amanda Edwards / Getty Images David Frum The founder of FrumForum.com is a columnist and former George W. Bush speechwriter committed to forming an intellectual home for centrist Republicans who have been subject to an onslaught of RINO-hunting inside the GOP. One of the smartest people in politics on either side of the aisle, Frum is a committed conservative but a principled patriot first. He has been willing to take on tough but often thankless fights against the far right as well as the far left. He is trying to look out for the long-term interests of The Party of Lincoln. His principled independence—and intellectual honesty—just got him fired from conservative think tank AEI. One year ago, after questioning the wisdom of Rush Limbaugh’s “I hope he fails” ill-wish toward President Obama, Frum was subjected to an avalanche of emails from the extremes. “Most of these emails say some version of the same thing: If you don’t agree with Rush, quit calling yourself a conservative and get out of the Republican Party,” he wrote in a Newsweek cover story. .” John McConnico / AP Photo Irshad Manji Author of the bestselling “ The Trouble with Islam Today: A Muslim’s Call for Reform in Her Faith” and creator of the PBS documentary Faith Without Fear, Irshad Manji is director of the Moral Courage Project at New York University, which defines itself as “ a global leadership program that challenges conformity on the left and the right.” Manji has been called “Osama bin Laden’s worst nightmare” because she embodies a powerful challenge to the radical Islamic orthodoxy—she is a force not just for reform but reformation—and a symbol of the larger clash between freedom and fundamentalism around the world. “The independent thinker doesn’t belong to a camp,” Manji has written. “She belongs to her conscience.” AP Photo Jon Stewart The Daily Show host is considered a liberal by conservatives because they bear the brunt of his satirical attacks—but they ignore his record as an equal opportunity offender. His real targets are extremism and ignorance, and he’s taken on Keith Olbermann and Moveon.org as well as Glenn Beck and the Tea Party protesters. At a time when the spin cycle can be suffocating, satire is best way to cut through the bullshit—and Stewart’s resistance to talking-point versions of reality not only earn him his place on this list, it has earned him the title of “the most trusted name in news” from a Time magazine online poll. Mark Wilson / Getty Images Joe Scarborough Scarborough is a consistent small-government conservative who is committed to civility and impatient with hyperpartisanship, whether it comes from the right or the left. He is a rare honest broker at a time when cable news is consumed by opinion anchors—and even more valuable to the national dialogue because he is one of the few conservative voices who has had the cojones to stand up to the extremes on his own side of the aisle. Andrew H. Walker / Getty Images Andrew Sullivan.” Alex Wong / Getty Images Ron Brownstein The author of 2007’s The Second Civil War: How Extreme Partisanship Has Paralyzed Washington and Polarized America was ahead of his time—things have gotten improbably worse. But his diagnosis of the divide-to-conquer impulses inciting each side to increasing extremes remains right on. As political director of Atlantic Media, he’s brought his search for sober civility to the National Journal and other affiliated outfits. He was among the first to write convincingly of the Internet’s ability to organize the politically homeless independent voters in the radical center, writing “the two parties are pursuing strategies that create an opening in the center of the electorate, even as the Internet makes it easier for a new competitor to fill it.” Mark McKinnon Mark McKinnon is evidence that principled centrism is not an oxymoron. The political consultant piloted John McCain’s 2008 primary campaign to victory while turning Karl Rove’s play-to-the-base politics on its head. But he announced in advance that if Barack Obama won the Democratic nomination, he would ride off into the sunset rather than participate in the negative attacks he knew would be required. This is unheard of in the world of modern politics, where partisanship trumps principle as a matter of course. McKinnon has brought this big-picture focus to his columns on The Daily Beast, always steering toward the center with casual wit, clarity, and conviction. David Zalubowski / AP Photo David Gergen The man speaks about politics with the authority of someone who’s lived it at the highest levels—and on both sides of the aisle. An example of putting patriotism over partisanship, Gergen served variously in the Nixon, Reagan, and Clinton White Houses. His steady voice offers calming context to overheated political debates. He understands that politics is history in the present tense. AP Photo Harold Ford, Jr. The former congressman has emerged as a cable news spokesman for a rising generation that rejects the outdated orthodoxies of the far right and far left, a recognition that old divisions are still driving partisan politics long after they have outlived their usefulness. His flirtation with the N.Y. Senate seat held by Kirsten Gillibrand ended abruptly as he confronted special interests in the Democratic Party, but an op-ed declaring his intention not to run included a defiant tone, a sign of fights yet to come: “I am a Democrat. But I am an independent Democrat. I am not going to stop speaking out on behalf of policies that I think are right—regardless of ideology, party or political expediency.” Charles Johnson The blogger behind the Web site LittleGreenFootballs.com found himself at the frontlines of a national debate this year over the growing influence of the lunatic fringe over the Republican Party. The anti-jihadist found himself attacked by the far right with even greater fervor than the Islamist supremacists who attacked him previously. He has given as good as he has got, providing a vital news service for those monitoring the increased influence of the extremes in American politics. His post “ Why I Parted Ways With the Right” should be required reading for all centrists and independents at a time when the fringe is blurring with the base. Don Pollard Doug Schoen The onetime Clinton pollster, alongside Mark Penn, has ventured out on his own and reinvented himself as an expert on the data behind the burgeoning independent voter movement, offered in columns and commentaries—and especially in his excellent and instructive book Declaring Independence: The Beginning of the End of the Two-Party System. William B. Plowman / AP Photo Peggy Noonan A beacon of civility and grace on the center-right, Peggy Noonan’s columns hearken America back to the better angels of our nature. She warns against the temptations of ideological arrogance and legislative over-reach, balancing a political faith in Main Street conservatism with a recognition that evil exists in the world and must be confronted. She has been a principled critic of the Obama administration while retaining her compassion and consistently warning against the dangers of pumping up hate in the service of hyperpartisanship. “It is a daily agitating barrage that coarsens and inflames. It tears the national fabric. But it could wind up doing worse than that…This isn't debate, it's more like incitement. And it comes from both right and left.” Alex Wong / Getty Images Tom Friedman Twice a week, Tom Friedman offers public seminars on what a centrist foreign policy might look like in the pages of The New York Times. Like all good centrists, conservatives think he’s liberal while liberals think he’s conservative. He’s a believer in making change our ally and not our enemy, an advocate for embracing globalization while warning about its discontents. He is tough on terrorists and petro-dictators alike—but his most steady aim has been on the tendency of extremists and absolutists to hijack both domestic and geo-political debates with far reaching consequences. In a recent column he wrote: “I want a Tea Party of the radical center… we need political innovation that takes America’s disempowered radical center and enables it to act in proportion to its true size, unconstrained by the two parties, interest groups, and orthodoxies that have tied our politics in knots.” Brendan Smialowski / AP Photo David Broder The dean of the D.C. columnists, Pulitzer Prize-winning David Broder has been described as “relentlessly centrist”—a perspective he has held throughout the decades-long polarization of the two parties. His 1971 book, The Party’s Over: The Failure of Politics in America, started marking the disenfranchisement of independent voters long before most of the press corps would take notice. Alex Wong / Getty Images Joe Klein Before he became known as the anonymous author of the Clinton-era political classic Primary Colors—but after he authored a great biography of Woody Guthrie—this baby boomer Time magazine columnist was plowing the centrist ground with predictions of the continued influence of independent voters in the wake of Ross Perot. Klein’s 1995 article “Stalking the Radical Middle” was a marker in the movement, laying out a list of demands that remain unmet today: Clean up the system; balance the budget and restore civility. Carolyn Kaster / AP Photo Christopher Buckley Just as Reagan once said that he didn’t leave the Democratic Party, the Democratic Party left him, the same might be said for the son of William F. Buckley and his current relationship with the GOP. The author and columnist is well-known for his wit and civility, but ran afoul of professional partisans with a bombshell endorsement of Barack Obama in 2008. He’s asserted that his politics remain that of a “small-government conservative who clings tenaciously to the idea that one ought to have balanced budgets. On abortion, gay marriage, et al., I’m libertarian.” In today’s political debates, that puts him squarely on the center-right.

The Lamborghini Cheetah is an off-road prototype that was made by Lamborghini in 1977. History The Lamborghini Cheetah was the first off-road vehicle made by Lamborghini. It was designed to be used by the military. The design of the Cheetah was largely a copy of Food Machinery Corporation (FMC)'s XR311 prototype, which was developed for the military in 1970. This resulted in legal action from FMC against Lamborghini in 1977. The Cheetah was built in San Jose, California. After it was built, the prototype was sent to Sant'Agata Bolognese so Lamborghini could put on the finishing touches. The Cheetah was powered by a large, waterproofed 180 bhp 5.9L Chrysler engine, rear mounted, with a 3 speed automatic transmission. The mounting of the engine in the rear gave the Cheetah very poor steering, and the engine was not powerful enough for the Cheetah. This resulted in poor performance overall. The only finished prototype was never tested by the US military. It was later sold to Teledyne Continental Motors, and it still exists today. Lamborghini eventually developed the Lamborghini LM002. The LM002 had a similar design to the Cheetah, but it had a 12-cylinder motor from the Lamborghini Countach mounted in the front. Related pages Lamborghini LM002

July 8, 2019 \| Emotional Health \| 0 comments \| Author: weisscare Anxiety is a common experience for kids, teens, and adults. While teens and adults can usually talk about their concerns, kids sometimes have trouble recognizing and naming emotional states and may show anxiety through their bodies instead. Worry and anxiety can cause lots of unpleasant symptoms in the body such as fast heartbeat, shallow breathing, sweating, sore or weak muscles, headache, and stomachache. Parents can help kids and teens to manage anxiety using a quick and simple technique: controlled breathing. Deliberate breathing counteracts many of the body-based effects of anxiety and helps the nervous system to more quickly return to normal functioning. Here are three breathing exercises to try with your child. In this exercise, you and your child will imagine two scenarios to help you breathe deeply and bring extra oxygen into the body. On the inhale, imagine that you are holding a favorite flower to your nose and deeply inhaling the scent. On the exhale, imagine that you are blowing out candles on a large birthday cake. Blow out all the air in your lungs to make sure you get all the candles! Repeat 5-10 times. In this exercise, you and your child will regulate the length of your breath and bring order and calm to your body. Breathe in through the nose for a count of 4- hold the breath for a count of 4- breathe out through the nose or mouth for a count of 4. Repeat as many times as desired. In this exercise, you and your child will practice filling and emptying the diaphragm to ensure deep, even breathing. Pretend that your stomach is a balloon and you’re going to fill it up with air. Because you’re trying to make the balloon as big as possible, all the air should go to the balloon- the chest should not be moving. Breathe in through the nose and “blow up the balloon” as much as you can, then breathe out through the nose or mouth to “deflate the balloon”. Get out as much air as you can before starting to blow up the balloon again! Repeat 5-10 times. You can also practice this skill while lying down. Put a stuffed animal, one hand, or other light item on the child’s stomach so he or she can watch the animal move with each inhale and exhale. As you learn and practice these exercises, help your child to notice changes in his or her body before and after regulated breathing. Did her heartbeat slow down? Did his muscles relax? Praise your child for trying something new and encourage him or her to use these strategies in any situation that could use some extra calm. Model using the strategies yourself and encourage your child to join you. If your child’s anxiety is so intense that it interferes with daily functioning at home, at school, with peers, or in other activities, it’s a good idea to seek professional help. An effective therapist can help your child learn new ways of thinking and behaving that will reduce anxiety and increase healthy ways of coping. If you’re not quite ready to make an appointment for your child, set a timetable for when you and your parenting partner(s) will talk about the issue again. Keep track of the issues you’re concerned about and you’ll have more data available when you revisit the subject. I hope these exercises bring calm and peace to your family!

Post-Doctoral Psychologist Parent & Child Psychological Services 941-357-4090 Dr. Hofmann is available this summer on Wednesday mornings at Weiss Pediatric Care for brief consultations. She talks with kids and parents about worries and concerns such as anxiety, sadness, depression, separation issues, and physical symptoms like headaches and stomach aches that may be related to stress and other emotional triggers.

Kerbey Lane Northwest moves…and loses its soul Kerbey Lane Northwest was a place one of our regular haunts for great food, staff and atmosphere. They recently moved from their quirky, homey, very “Kerbey Lane” location to a strip mall at Anderson Mill and 183. We had asked the staff why they were moving and they said it was such a better layout. Much more room for operation and the staff wouldn’t be bumping into each other all the time trying to get the food out. So four of us set out with anticipation yesterday morning to check out the new digs. Well actually, we forgot they had moved and so first we went to the old digs and found an empty parking lot and a sad lonely building. So we set out to find the new place. When we got there, there were a lot of people waiting (as is usual for Kerbey at lunchtime on Saturday) and we were told there would be an hour to an hour and fifteen minutes wait. Determined to have my pancakes, we decided to stick it out. We all agreed that while this place is certainly nice, it did NOT feel like Kerbey Lane. It had lost its vibe. While they still had the same staff, many of whom have tattoos, piercings, fun hair styles and such, they all seemed a little more dressed up than they used to be. It seemed to us like they had turned up the staffs dress code a bit. Even more frustrating was that while we were waiting over an hour for our table, there seemed to be many empty tables. The patio outside had maybe 2 of 10 tables occupied. I thought I heard a manager telling another couple that they were limiting their occupancy while the kitchen and staff “found their groove” but that didn’t make it any less frustrating to be standing and waiting while staring at empty tables. The place just had a much less fun, homey, quirky, Austin, Kerbey Lane feel and more generic air. Everything felt strange. Even the staff seemed more lowkey or down. I mean they were still friendly and provided great service but I sensed some tension or stress, I speculate due to probably having to deal with pissy people with overdeveloped senses of entitlement who probably thought that waiting an hour was ridiculous but decided to go ahead and do it anyway but be grumpy and bitch about it. All in all we were very sad to see what had become of our beloved Kerby Lane NW. I think we may be making one of the other Kerbey Lane locations our new home base. It seemed to us like they probably could have kept both NW locations open considering how busy it always seemed to be. I’m sure that’s probably not realistically practical but they sure never seem to be hurting for business and it seems like there is always a wait at any time of day. Kerbey Lane was one of those places where we would always take visiting friends to eat. We might still, but it won’t be the NW location. I kind of feel like I’ve lost a friend. Kerbey Lane’s northwest location lost it’s good vibe years ago. In the mid-late 90’s it was one of my favorite restaurants, whether I was eating dinner there or dropping in for coffee and some chips & queso. Something happened around 2001 or so and the service dropped off considerably. I’ve given it second third, and even fourth chances because I wanted the same enjoyment I once had there. Each time I tried going back, I was disappointed over and over. I won’t shed a tear over them moving, but should I hold out hope that the quality of service will return to that of old?

MOOC News Roundup – OpenUpEd and Financial Aid for Signature Track Welcome. Here’s your roundup of MOOC News for April 28, 2013. by Cowboy Dave via Flicrk Lots of commentary out there this week, but let’s focus on news you can use and insights that might have fallen through the cracks. First, the big one: The launch of OpenUpEd. This is an EU-based, polylingual MOOC platform offering courses from across Europe. Mostly it looks like a collection of existing online ed projects gathered and co-branded in one spot. We’re always curious about MOOCs that involve clinical work. Can this model provide quality training to health care professionals? The Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing is going to give it a try with The Science of Safety in Healthcare, for “members of the healthcare delivery team, including nurses, as well as the healthcare consumers in the general public.” On Coursera, starting June 3. The JHUSON press release says courses on dementia and HIV/AIDS may be coming in the future. Our favorite items in the news roundup are the ones bringing attention to courses outside the big platforms. International business students should check out Delhi-based Sunstone Business School, which is starting to offer courses in MOOC form using some content provided through a partnership with Saylor.org. Two courses on negotiation start in mid-May. Which brings us to the question of institutional prestige. LISTedTECH has a fascinating analysis of MOOC platforms, evaluating which one is best according to the reputation of the universities affiliated them. (EdX wins when you slice it that way.) As I say in the comments on that site, I hope we don’t over-rely on institutional prestige when judging MOOCs. Obviously, the teacher, course design and mechanics matter more than the school they’re affiliated with. A lit of the best MOOCs is going to include some with teachers from less prestigious schools and some who are totally unaffiliated, a la Sal Khan. Lastly, buried in the Coursera corporate blog are some interesting early details about their Signature Track program. (Signature Track ties your course completion certificate to a verified identity and portfolio. The fees vary, generally between $40 and $60.) Some points of interest to students: - 9,000 students from 80 countries are signed up so far. - There’s a much higher completion rate — 70% — for people who sign up for Signature Track, lending evidence to what we argued here. - Those who don’t finish get a coupon to apply to a future course. - They have a financial aid program for people (mostly in developing countries, it seems) who can’t afford the fee. - They give some brief examples of how people are using the certificates, such as the nutrition counselor who uses his to show a broader expertise and attract new clients. That’s not everything this week by a long shot, but it’s what we thought fell through the cracks and deserved special attention. Got any tips for us? Leave a comment and we’ll look into it.

George Shaw (10 December 1751 - 22 July 1813) was an English botanist and zoologist. Shaw published one of the first English descriptions of several common Australian animals. His book was called Zoology of New Holland which was released in 1794. He was the first scientist to examine a platypus. He released a description about the animal on his book The Naturalist's Miscellany in 1799. He became the first to do so. In herpetology he described a lot of new species of reptiles and amphibians.
The last time Pluto was in Capricorn, between 1762 and 1778, the American Revolution made a decisive sea-change in the course of history. This time? It again feels as though something is shifting. Pluto moved into Capricorn in January 2008 and will leave in 2024. Pluto’s role in astrology is to transform and regenerate; the astrological Pluto tears down what no longer serves its purpose, often in dramatic fashion, freeing the path for something new to emerge. Capricorn rules government and authority and also has links to the law and the military, so this transit has important geopolitical implications for sure. Certainly, the power of the people seems to have grown during this transit, and it doesn’t look set to diminish any time soon. In astrology, the energies of both Capricorn and Pluto are strong in will and determination; neither energy will stop until it achieves its goal, so when Pluto is in Capricorn we can definitely expect some major changes in global policy and institutions. On a more personal level, the Pluto in Capricorn transit is about power – the things we have power over, and the things which have power over us. It’s about recognizing where tradition has failed and where a new way of thinking is needed. With Pluto, change doesn’t come quietly, and we tend to not accept it willingly, either. This is noisy, disruptive, sometimes scary, often unwelcome upheaval, but it’s very necessary. Pluto astrological energy can be obsessive as well as transformative, so it’s important not to get hung up on things during this transit; especially when it comes to things we can’t control. Going with the flow of life is not easy at this time but trying too hard to fight these astrological energies is counter-productive. The Pluto in Capricorn transit may not feel like a lot of fun for some zodiac signs – and sixteen years is a long time to experience chaos – but it’s important to acknowledge the positives. When this transit is over, none of us will be the same people we were in 2008, but we will be better equipped to face the future. Pluto in Capricorn for an Aries (Aries dates: March 20 – April 19) Power struggles in your career may leave you feeling disillusioned, used or empty, Aries. An obsession with getting ahead may eat into your family life and your other personal goals, and it’s likely to be tough to find the right balance. If work is ruling you rather than you ruling work, you’re in the wrong job – and this Pluto transit is the ideal time for a long-term, strategic career change. Retrain, rethink, restart. Pluto in Capricorn for a Taurus (Taurus dates: April 20 – May 20) During this Pluto transit, a desire for freedom at all costs could bring trouble for you Taurus. Yours is not normally a rebellious sign, but you just can’t help kicking against the rules right now. So, channel this constructively. Fight the rules that matter; the ones that oppress you or others. Fight the big battles, not the petty little rules that will land you in trouble without really changing much. If you’re going to go down for a cause, make it a good one. Pluto in Capricorn for a Gemini (Gemini dates: May 21 – June 20) The thing most likely to sabotage your life during this Pluto transit, Gemini, is your own subconscious traumas. Emotional baggage may reach critical mass in your life, unless you have the courage and the foresight to do something about it. Therapy is important during these years, and it’s essential that you come to a greater level of self-understanding. This transit for you is about mastery, but it’s mastery over yourself which really counts. Pluto in Capricorn for a Cancer (Cancer dates: June 21 – July 21) Why are so many people able to pull so many strings in your life, Cancer? This Pluto transit is about getting back control over your own destiny, and if that means losing a few toxic people along the way, so be it. Pluto is transiting your love zone, so issues of power and control within a relationship need some work, but overall it’s about finding a balance between your own independence and identity versus the influence you allow others to have. Pluto in Capricorn for a Leo (Leo dates: July 22 – August 22) When work feels like a dead-end, everything else in life becomes tainted too. This Pluto transit requires you to tear down routines that are holding you back, Leo – and that includes any hint of a dead-end job. Beggars can’t be choosers, you may think, but over the years this transit lasts, you have the chance to create a new and more positive life strategy. Start by finding work which genuinely excites and motivates you. Pluto in Capricorn for a Virgo (Virgo dates: August 23 – September 22) Pluto is transiting your house of fun, and this can be a very positive transit for you, Virgo. Pluto stirs up creativity from the very depths of your soul and any artistic work you produce looks and feels inspired. Be careful not cede control of your own talent to someone else though. Stand on your own two feet and shine your light brightly. Pluto in Capricorn for a Libra (Libra dates: September 23 – October 22) Pluto renovates and recycles, and as this transit takes place in your home zone, it’s the ideal time for a long-term house project. Aside from that, this energy also brings you the opportunity to do some emotional renovation, Libra. Forgive past hurts caused by family members. In doing so, you take back emotional control, and they lose the space they have in your head. Pluto in Capricorn for a Scorpio (Scorpio dates: October 23 – November 21) Intellectual obsession is a risk during this transit, Scorpio, especially since you tend to have a very focused, singular mind to begin with. It’s important during these years to entertain the possibility that you could be wrong. Try to network more widely and to engage with people who hold different views. If nothing else, this transit brings you intellectual maturity and grace. Pluto in Capricorn for a Sagittarius (Sagittarius dates: November 22 – December 20) You don’t need as much money to survive as you think. That’s the overwhelming message of Pluto transit Capricorn for you, Sagittarius, and it comes with a twin message: You need much more love and joy than you think in order to survive and thrive. Focus on things in life which are more important than money. There are many, many options for a fulfilling life here. Pluto in Capricorn for a Capricorn (Capricorn dates: December 21 – January 19) When Pluto transits your own sign, anger can easily come to the fore. You spend a lot of time feeing resentful or obsessing over revenge. In the immortal words of Elsa, let it go. You’re learning here to rise above provocation; you’re also learning that taking the higher road is never easy, but always rewarding. Strike out alone, because you no longer need approval from anyone. Pluto in Capricorn for an Aquarius (Aquarius date: January 20 – February 17) There’s some deep cleaning going on in your life during this transit, Aquarius, and that may involve handling some pretty traumatic emotions. You may need to face issues from the past that have caused you great pain. The beauty of this transit is that you can recycle your pain into something beautiful, whether that’s art and creativity or simply you teaching others how to heal. Pisces Pluto in Capricorn for a Pisces (Pisces dates: February 18 – March 19) The Pisces personality is generally easily led, but during this Pluto transit, you may want to forcefully impose your will on others. The leadership skills this transit awakens can be fantastic, especially in terms of leading a community group – but they can also seduce you down the route of autocracy and meanness. This isn’t you, Pisces. Lead from the front, but with humility and grace.
Peoria is a city on the Illinois River in the U.S. state of Illinois. In the 2000 census, Peoria had more than 110,000 people living in it. It is the home of the Peoria Rivermen ice hockey team. One of Peoria's largest businesses is Caterpillar, a company that makes bulldozers, mining trucks, and other kinds of machinery. Roads Many people drive in and out of Peoria on Interstate 74. People also drive around Peoria on Interstate 474. Peoria is 157 miles (257 kilometers) southwest of Chicago, Illinois. Culture Peoria has become famous as a representation of the average American city because of its demographics and its perceived mainstream Midwestern culture. On the Vaudeville circuit, it was said that if an act would succeed in Peoria, it would work anywhere. The question "Will it play in Peoria?" has now become a metaphor for whether something appeals to the American mainstream public.
Access your saved content Accenture recently analyzed the strategies and capabilities of 10 financial institutions around the globe whose mobile offerings have reaped rich rewards—new customers, increased revenue and impressive returns on investment. As with any relatively new channel, banks have taken widely divergent paths in developing and rolling out their mobile offerings. While some have struggled to make an impact, others have emerged as market leaders. In this research, which was conducted by TowerGroup on behalf of Accenture we will answer the question: What distinguishes financial services institutions that are succeeding in mobile banking? Discover the keys to success in mobile banking [PDF, 272KB]Learn more about Mobility Services According to our research, banks generated revenue as high as three times their investment (calculated as operating net benefits over three years divided by implementation costs) in mobile banking by taking a strategic approach, emphasizing customer convenience, providing rich exchanges of information with their customers, and closely tracking customer usage and satisfaction. Financial institutions are at a cross roads with mobile banking. As the field becomes more competitive with both traditional and non-traditional players skirmishing for market share, waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option. The choice is clear: a mobile program can be done quickly and haphazardly, which can easily result in a poor customer experience and reputational damage. Or it can be done the right way: strategically and with a vision of what is actually possible, such as richer engagement with customers and revenue generation. Watch the Mobile Security Webcast with CIO.com Explore Mobility Offers While the financial institutions that Accenture studied took different approaches to building out their mobile strategies, their paths to success have remarkable similarities. Based on our research and our experience in partnering with banks globally to launch their mobile operations, here is a breakdown of the keys to success.

Biology is the science that studies life, living things, and the evolution of life. Living things include animals, plants, fungi (such as mushrooms), and microorganisms such as bacteria and archaea. The term 'biology' is relatively modern. It was introduced in 1799 by a physician, Thomas Beddoes. People who study biology are called biologists. Biology looks at how animals and other living things behave and work, and what they are like. Biology also studies how organisms react with each other and the environment. It has existed as a science for about 200 years, and before that it was called "natural history". Biology has many research fields and branches. Like all sciences, biology uses the scientific method. This means that biologists must be able to show evidence for their ideas and that other biologists must be able to test the ideas for themselves. Biology attempts to answer questions such as: "What are the characteristics of this living thing?" (comparative anatomy) "How do the parts work?" (physiology) "How should we group living things?" (classification, taxonomy) "What does this living thing do?" (behaviour, growth) "How does inheritance work?" (genetics) "What is the history of life?"

Roxy’s love for interior design started at young age. Almost as soon as she could walk, Roxy started moving around the furniture in her room. Up next was the rest of the house. By the time she was 11, she already had a business card. In her teenage years, Roxy lost track of what she really loved to do. Luckily, it didn’t take her long to find her way back again. She started with decorating her own apartment but quickly moved one to other and bigger projects. Roxy has a deep love for vintage and antique furniture and is always on the hunt for beautiful items. She appreciates and cherishes the imperfections and character of every unique piece. Roxy also believes that we should try to live a more sustainable life, by investing in some hand-crafted quality pieces that often last a lifetime and keep their value. Roxy’s interior decorating philosophy, is mixing the old with the new and finding balance between styles in order to create a timeless interior.

The french crown (509 - 24 August 1838) was a number of titles of the crown of France. Before the kingdom of France was the kingdom of the Franks ruled by Clovis I. Clovis was the first king of the Franks. After Clovis's death he split his kingdoms between his sons. His eldest son got Orleans. His second son got Paris and soon after his older brothers death he took Orleans. Clovis's most successful son Chlothar I became King of the franks, king of Paris, King of Reims, King of Soissons. Clovis's least successful son Theuderic I became King of Metz. After many years Louis the Pious son of Charlemange became the first King in many years to take over most of France. In 1190, Philip II of France was the first King to be called "King of France". on May 14, 1610 the kingdom of Navarre united with the Kingdom of France under Henry IV of France. After the French Revolution. King Louis XVI, and his wife Marie Antoinette of Austria were deposed and beheaded by Guillotine. Emperor Napolean took control of France after the Reign of terror. Napolean was soon exiled and forced to abdicate. Following the next few years there was debate on who should be King of France. After a few decades no one became King. There are 3 current claims to the French throne today. There names are: Louis Alphonse de Bourbon, Duke of Anjou Jean-Christophe, Prince Napoleon Jean, Count of Paris In the 1300's there had been English Claims to the french throne. But those claims ended.

The Indus River is the greatest river on the western side of the south Asian subcontinent. It is one of the seven sacred rivers for The Brahmans of Vedic period. It was the birthplace of the early Indus Valley civilization. It flows through China (Western Tibet), India and Pakistan. It is one of the main rivers of the Indo-Gangetic Plain. The river is 3180 km long. It is Pakistan's longest river. The river has a total drainage area exceeding 1,165,000 km2 (450,000 sq mi). Its estimated annual flow stands at around 207 km3 (50 cu mi), making it the twenty-first largest river in the world in terms of annual flow. It discharges about 6,600 cubic meters per second. The word Indus and the cognate word "Hindu" are derived from Sapta Sindhu (Sanskrit for "seven rivers") for the region is ancient. The Ancient Greeks used the word Indos; Hindus was Old Persian; Sindhu in Sanskrit. Latest languages on the sub-continent use either Sindh (modern Sindhi) or Sindhu (ancient Sanskrit) or very similar words. The river's region's name came to be the name of the country India. River basin Over 47% of the total area of the Indus drainage basin is in Pakistan and Pakistan-administered Kashmir. India has about 39%, Tibet has 8% and Afghanistan has 6 % of the Indus basin catchment area. The Indus water system of rivers comprises the main Indus and its major tributaries: the Kabul River and Kurram River on the right bank, and the Jhelum River, Chenab River, Ravi River, Beas River and the Sutlej on the left. The first two join the Indus soon after it leaves the mountains, and the others lower down in the plains. The whole of the Beas and the head reaches of the Ravi and Sutlej are in the Republic of India, while those of the Chenab and Jhelum lie mostly in the disputed Kashmir state. The entire basin covers an area of about 384,000 square miles of open land, of which 204,000 lie in Pakistan. In addition, there are about 29,000 square miles which lie outside the Indus basin but are dependent on the Indus river system for their water requirements and irrigation supplies. Without the Indus waters, agriculture in Pakistan would be very uncertain, because there is not much rain. Even now when Pakistan is being rapidly industrialised, it needs its water resources, because much of its industry uses agriculture produce for its raw materials. Almost all of the basin in Pakistan receives an overall rainfull of less than 15 inches, 60% of its area receiving less than 10 inches, while, 16% receives less than 5 inches. The rainfull is not evenly distributed throughout the year but is concentrated during the monsoons. Course Rising in western Tibet, the Indus runs at first across a high plateau, then the ground falls away and the river, dropping rapidly, gathering momentum and rushing north-west, collects the waters from innumerable glacier-fed streams, and runs north-west between the world's greatest mountain ranges, the Karakoram and the Himalayas. In Kashmir it crosses the United Nations cease-fire line and, in Baltistan District, enters Azad Kashmir. From here on it is Pakistan's river; Pakistan's first town on the upper Indus, Skardu, at 7,500 feet above sea-level, stands on a bluff near the junction of the Indus and one of its great right-bank tributaries, the Shigar. The majority of the people live in Skardu town; others inhabit small and scattered villages along the Indus and Shigar valleys, or tiny hamlets high on the surrounding mountains.

- Doug Kass - Reuters Hedge-fund manager Doug Kass, who’s had a tough go of it this year due to his bearish leanings, remains critical of the Federal Reserve’s attempt to keep stimulating the economy and the markets at these unprecedented levels. “The Fed is pressing a losing bet, further undermining its credibility,” Mr. Kass said in an email to clients. “For now, the Fed has decided to try to continue to borrow from the future in order to stimulate the present. The downside is that the Fed is ignoring the dangerous ramifications and unintended consequences (that are multiplying) when the policy changes.” The Fed’s surprise decision to keep its $85 billion bond-buying program intact sparked a huge global rally. U.S. stock indexes jumped to record highs. Bond prices notched their strongest gain since November 2011. Commodity prices rose and foreign stocks benefited even more than U.S. shares. But the underlying economic fundamentals that are supposed to support the markets haven’t changed. If anything, the Fed’s decision to stand pat suggests they’ve weakened over the past few months. That’s an element that investors have been ignoring as the markets continue to prosper, Mr. Kass says. “It is, quite simply, a market that rewards subpar growth,” he says. “Unfortunately for my shorts, my attention to weak economic growth, tepid corporate sales and profit growth (excluding financials) was wrong in focus.” Mr. Kass’s criticism of the Fed and how the markets are performing in this low-growth environment is nothing new. In February he said he was as bearish as he’s been in years and in May he offered a mea culpa on his pessimistic views. More In Federal Reserve Now, Mr. Kass continues to express his frustration over how stocks continue to rally to new heights. The Dow Jones Industrial Average is up 20% this year and closed Wednesday at a record high. “I thought after four-plus years of quantitative easing investors would get the point — QE is losing its effectiveness, and we are likely in an extended period of subpar growth that might be accompanied by less-than-average P/E multiples,” he said. “What surprises me is that by certain members of the Fed’s own admission, the benefits of quantitative easing are increasingly called into question. But that did not keep the Fed from the surprising decision not to taper.” Investors “celebrated bad news” on Wednesday, a mindset that has played out repeatedly throughout this bull market and appears like it could continue for the foreseeable future. “This is not a comfortable type of bull market and backdrop for a fundamental investor like myself — it is, quite simply, a market that rewards subpar growth,” Mr. Kass says. “In my view, there is no way out for the Fed once it started the process of printing. Getting in was easy. Getting out — not so much. The Fed is trapped and can’t end tapering or else the bond and stock markets will blow up. The longer this continues the bigger the inevitable burst. “The only question is how long will the pump priming persist and whether it even matters that the economy’s foundation of growth is unstable.”
Santa Claus (also known as Santa Claus Acres) is a ghost town in Mohave County, Arizona, United States. Santa Claus was started in 1937, it lies about northwest of Kingman, Arizona, along U.S. Route 93 between mile markers 57 and 58, immediately north of Hermit Drive and just south of both Grasshopper Junction, Arizona, and the Junk Art of Chloride, a group of metal statues in Chloride, Arizona, that include a flamingo made out of a motorcycle gas tank.

Entries for the Dinner With Barack II sweepstakes were promoted on @BarackObama's Twitter today; the contest closes on Sept. 30. Meantime, Campaign HQ still hasn't released the names for the first Obama dinner contest, July's "Dinner with Barack and Joe." The dinner winners were supposed to be announced at, but the link now takes users to a page that says "Sorry, the page you're looking for isn't here," which includes other helpful links and re-directs users to the Campaign blog. The link previously took users to a donation page for the second dinner sweepstakes. In early September, OFA Deputy Press Secretary Katie Hogan told Obama Foodorama that she has no idea why the names have not been announced. "We don't have a date or location for either dinner," Hogan also told Obama Foodorama.

We know SAP, the great enterprise resource planning in the world. But very expensive budget to create and implement this software. But based on real case in some company, we have limitation in SAP, such as : - SAP always charge based on user name license, whereas we know employee of company always grow and increase. - If SAP implement in company that have some branches, it can be spent more budget. Because communication cost must be spent every month. - Develop new business and new reports and others. So we can analyst about cost : - user license, we can reduce in this case, user license only for key processing but entry data or reporting we can user the simple application. Approximately we can reduce between 50 – 60%. - Cost of communications data transfer, we must subscribe private connection (VSAT/Frame Relay/MPLS) and spent budget to create connection to communicate between head office and branch. We can user GRPS or internet monthly. - Consultant service is very expensive to develop new business process/reporting, We must analyst about current and future business process, so we can plan how many spent time and cost to develop it, and if we need from outsourcing, we can analyst about our requirement. - SAP complete package not always suitable with our requirement, We must understand about some feature and package, so we can choose the correct features. Actually SAP have provided some component and library to create connection to other programming. Such as SAP dot NET (SAP NET Connector) , SAP and Java (SAP Java Connector).

I am linking to the guest article on Violent Acres because I resonate completely with this young woman's argument for being judgmental. I, too, am a judgmental bitch. Which is why I have been able to extricate myself from the pestilential and tyrannical narcissists in my life. I highly recommend being judgmental. In fact, I insist on you using good judgment all the time on my blog. Engaging your brain in order to assert some order and control over your life is called using judgment. I dedicate this article to the last commenter on the post "But Wait, There's More!" who went way out of their way to excuse Shrek in order to make me into the bad guy. There is no time when it more obviously paramount to use judgment than when dating. For pete's sake, the whole reason for dating is to determine (i.e. JUDGE) if someone is a good match for you. You can't determine that fact without using judgment. I am so sick and tired of people thinking judgment is a bad word I could SCREAM. Instead, I am calmly pointing you to the eloquent rant of the above blogger. My sentiments exactly, sista. "Anonymous", I have good judgment. I can't account for your bad judgment. You apparently have an ax to grind with me; someone you've never met and who is minding my own business here on my blog. Your comment says a hell of a lot more about you than it does me. [IRONY UPDATE INSERTED HERE] Seems to me that "Anonymous" gets pretty high on her/his judgmental horse while deciding that I've been too judgmental. Come on. Where is the logical consistency?! Anonymous gets a pass on their inconsistency and judgmentalism by the idiocy of mainstream non-logic. It is okay, nay, good and righteous, to judge those who are judgmental. Kind of like it is permissible to be racist as long as it is whites that you hate. Bahhh. Mental and moral midgets all. Yeah, that's a judgment. 21 comments: Right. On. As a society, we are more critical and judgemental about the products we put in our hair or the lotions we smear on our faces than the guys we allow into our bodies and who father our children...(if you are a guy....do the 'translation'). But, God FORBID, we 'judge' a PERSON! O MYYYY! Near as I can tell, this blog is about 'rightly dividing the Truth from the Lie'.....not about Ms. Manners or looking for the RightChemistry....especially in relationships! Isn't this WHY we are where we are? Looking to find out 'What the Hell happened to my Life?' krl It is precisely because Ns warp and distort reality that we need to be judgemental. It's our only defence. Call it acting on instinct, if you wish. Thank you for your bluntness, Anna. Direct and not afraid to speak your mind? Atta girl! I have been in therapy for a couple of months now because of a past job experience in which I dealt with what I believe to be a narcissistic coworker. At the end, when I quit that job, I started thinking about the fact that I may have been overly judgmental about this coworker. I realize that everyone has their ways and no one really wants to be judged. I thought that maybe I had been a "judgmental bitch" toward this individual, so I was discussing this in my latest therapy session because I felt so badly about the whole situation. I don't think of myself as being normally judgmental, but I think that there does come a time when you have to make judgments about people and if you can deal with a person's faults, flaws, warts and all, then that person is someone that you are willing to allow into you life. If you come to a judgment about someone and you dislike/hate more things about the person than you like, then no, that person should not take up any room in your life. Not everybody likes everybody that they come into contact with, so I don't understand why it's considered so bad to make a judgment against someone, especially if we don't want that person around us. So what if everyone else happens to get along with that individual, it doesn't mean that I have to get along with that person. But yeah, I have experienced alot of guilt over this whole idea about being judgmental. There is never anything morally wrong about judging bad behavior as being wrong and unacceptable. People seem to end up neck deep in shit because they will keep refusing to call Bad by its right name. They excuse Bad. Ignore Bad. Overlook Bad. They assume that person "can't help being Bad". They assume that mean people are really just wounded souls who can be healed with unconditional acceptance of all their behavior. This lack of the use of judgment only HURTS people. And it enables Bad people to keep on being Bad. About myself: I'm really a rather easy going person. I can and do get along with a lot of different kinds of people. I am willing to overlook flaws and mistakes because I'm am flawed and make mistakes. I am not quick to assume the worst about someone. What has changed about me since I picked up the clue phone: I will no longer overlook consistent patterns of bad behavior and refuse to call it what it is: bad. I will not bust my ass to "preserve the dignity" of someone who has no dignity. I will not respect those who behave disrespectfully. I will not be shamed by those who condemn me for using my judgment to determine when someone is a jerk, an ass, a creep, a pervert, a narcissist, etc. A narcissist by any other name, is still a narcissist. Calling a narcissist by their right name early on and in the first place will save a hell of a lot of time and misery. There is no excuse for bad behavior in adults. There may be reasons, but reason can't be substituted for excuses. This is because adults have lived long enough to know better and are accountable for their own behavior. Period. Unless they are insane. If that is case, lock 'em up and throw away the key. I don't know if this occurred to anyone else, but my first thought when reading 'anonymous' comment on 'But wait, there's more' was that this was actually from the guy your daughter rejected. Its always that 'methinks he protesteth too much' thing which makes you wonder why somebody should attack you with such venom. I have had such comments on my blog, and I always get the sneaky feeling they are from somebody with an axe to grind, rather than being from an objective observer. Hi Jordie, I definitely get the sense the commenter has an ax to grind with me, but I sincerely doubt it is "Shrek" himself. Yes, the comment was definitely fashioned as a personal attack on me. If I were to guess, I think this person is one of the cronies of Sam, the owner of the group that started a libel campaign against me last September that I dared to expose on my blog. The commenter said I take pleasure in "critiquing" "so-called narcissists". I never called Sam a narcissist, but a commenter or two did. This just sounds like sour grapes to me. So-called narcissists? If I am not describing real narcissists on this blog then narcissism doesn't exist. This commenter was in a real dilemma. First, they felt the need to, for whatever reason, minimize my blog by saying I'm only criticizing normal people with normal faults, i.e. "so-called narcissists". But in the process of their necessity to minimize my blog, they also minimized the insult. To say I'm not much better than the "so-called narcissists" I "take pleasure in critiquing" means I'm not much better than normal folk? Okay. I can agree with that. I make no claims to be better than normal folk. This is one example that illustrates to me that someone out there has felt personally insulted by me. That leads me straight to Sam and her crowd of sycophants. I know it isn't any of my family because they would attack me much differently. It doesn't sound like "Shrek". This commenter sounds very female to me. Besides that, I think Shrek would defend himself very differently than this. Anyway, this is a wee bit of my analysis of this commenter. Sam's original accusation against me was that I was stealing "ideas" from her group by being a spy in her group. Calling me a spy explains how I could be "stealing ideas" when I wasn't even in her stupid group. A baseless accusation as I have hard, black and white proof against her main accusation that I "stole" the idea for analyzing my sister's non-apology letter. Anyway, it is all in the archives. I know Sam's little cretins keep checking back at my blog to feed their delusions about me. I think this person is one of these angry, bitter and paranoid little, um, people. And if it isn't one of Sam's cronies, then maybe this person who hides behind the Anonymous moniker would kindly attack me in the future using a real name. Have some balls. There is something very cowardly about commenting anonymously when you use my blog's comment field to attack my character. Where is your blog so I can respond to you personally? Hmmm? You leave me no option but to address the comment here, publicly, on my blog. Which, because I am obviously dealing with a small-minded soul, I have not in any way addressed the absurdity of the whole of your comment. You try to set me up to look like a bad guy. If I don't post your comment that means I have "something to hide". If I mount a defense against your absurdity then you can accuse me of attacking you. Your comment, oh brave Anonymous, on 1.21.08 @ 12:20:00 PM, is a demonstration of your cowardice. Don't expect future comments of yours along this line to be approved unless you show yourself. Could be one of two kinds of people: Narcissists or those who secretly side with such people in the name of "righteousness and kindness". OF COURSE you have to judge, that is called "using your brains". What people mean when they say that you are judgemental is most of the time about them not wanting to be confronted by you. They have no problem with you liking blue, yet not liking say orange. Or loving coffee but rejecting tea. When you have been raised in a dysfunctional family you feel guilty about all kinds of things; it's just a symptom of your upbringing. If you don't like somebody, by all means get out. Let me tell you this. I met this woman who constantly whines about everything and everybody. She told me about her friend's abortion. How about some integrity? But MY mistake was to continue having contact (albeit very little and mostly via email). I should have told her: I do not trust you, you have seriously breached somebody's confidence which only means trouble for me in the future. Hasta la pasta. And you complain too much. But since I have been raised by one crazy, violent father and a seriously self-absorbed mother (who must be an N imo), I have developed a low threshhold. Of course I did not like this woman talking about her friend's abortion. The best thing was that she was making it about herself! About how hard it was on HER, since she wants kids. I could have actually met this friend, since the lamenting one loves to play the hostess with the mostest. But I have pissed her of and now I have told her bye bye after she sent me a fuming email :)) My point: I need to become a hell of a lot more judgemental. Closely related is the abuse of the word 'discriminate.' I think that it is smart to discriminate. Unfortunately, the PC crowd have almost succeeded in ascribing the meaning of 'predudice' to it, something that is not smart to do. -Cassandra "Narcissists or those who secretly side with such people in the name of righteousness and kindness". That's been my experience. Many of these N's keep mini-narcissists around them as attack dogs. I know a person like this, always wanting desparately to go with what they perceive as the majority in a given situation. If confronted for their shadiness and spinelessness, they are every bit as crafty and manipulative as the full-blown N they so need the approval of. On the other hand, there are N's that seem to enjoy being contrary just to be contrary, as if difference alone means something special or is virtuous. N's seem to love being the center of attention, even if my experience is that they act as thought they don't. The person that Anna took some offense with may be a "spy" or someone that is having a hard time accepting some harsh truths about N's. I was the same way for a long time, not wanting to believe that someone I loved could be so monstrouss. I have occassionally sniped at people that told me the truth about my N and N's in general in a no holds barred way. It wasn't that I was angry at them, per se, but angry, and actually a little scared, for I knew the awful truth but wasn't ready to emotionally accept it. Honestly, I still have some trouble accepting the truth and all of the awful truth it implies. So, long story short, perhaps this person is just using defensive anger/dissmissivness as a defense mechanism. If so, and if they're not a spy, I hope they can eventually come to accept the truth about these people and direct that anger/frusteration into healing. When the prey of an N finds people who BELIEVE him or her -- it may be easy to lose sight of the critical element articulated by Chris. That is deniability. When people without Awareness read something about an N, there's bound to be a good deal that falls into that amorphous area of deniability. So they make excuses for the N --- and it really is understandable. Does this make sense? Yeah, we seem judgemental -- because N behavior is so damn deniable. Deniability is a very interesting quantity. I know this is a little late, but mind if I put a comment in? Vaknin admits himself that he is a Narcissist. Why would an intelligent person take advice from someone who they know is using his "condition" to get attention? Unbelievably stupid. Incidentally, that rant sounds like something my stepson would write in defense of himself and his crazy mother and sister. God save us from Shrek. I do have a question, do you have any information regarding getting past N experiences and letting it go? My husband and I have basically withdrawn from society because of all the garbage that's been spread about us. We are even considering moving to another state. I personally live with a dread of them trying to force themselves on our attention again. I guess I'm obsessing about it, or maybe I'm just paranoid but the ex is truly demonic. Thanks. To clarify: the "Sam" referred to above is not Sam Vaknin. "Sam" is female...Samantha. As for quoting Sam Vaknin. I do it on rare occasion; I am not incredibly stupid. Just because he is a self-confessed narcissist doesn't mean he doesn't have anything to say that is true. I use my extensive understanding of the subject to analyze what he says. Yeah, he says a lot that is pure bullshit, but when I can see that he is saying something that is true...as it is weighed against my judgment, not his, then I will quote him without compunction. I don't think he adds much of value to the conversation on NPD for victims of NPD which is why I think I've only quoted him twice on my whole, rather extensive blog. Once was my most recent post. This can give you some indication of how much value I put on his insights. Not much. WiW, The biggest part of getting over the abuse of a narcissist is to go completely no contact. The reason is because it is hard for a wound to heal when it keeps getting re-opened. Going no contact is a first and vital step if you are going to be able to more quickly get over what they've done to you. It is not possible to get over a crime in progress which continued contact enables. After that, informing yourself on what narcissists really are and how they operate is important for getting over it. The reason for this is because we tend to fear that we'll be duped, caught, abused and trapped by another narcissist in the future. Understanding what makes narcissists tick gives you a sense of control over your future and your life. One should not ever get over confident on dealing with these people, but you can learn enough to be able to spot them quickly and extricate yourself with little difficulty. When you get a firm handle on the knowing the beast, you'll fear it less. This lends itself to giving you peace again and the ability to move on. Hope this helps. Thanks for the clarification. I've gotten used to "Sam" being Vaknin because he is often quoted on other sites. BTW, I didn't mean that you are incredibly stupid, I meant that he has created a devoted following that seems to swallow every word he says. That, in my humble opinion, is incredibly stupid. Personally, I found his writing deliberately obtuse, designed to obfuscate rather than enlighten and generally self gratifying. Rather like masturbating in public and being cheered on by a crowd of deviants. Sorry, I know that is a little gross. Thanks also for the assistance. I think my concern about what they will do next stems from the fact that they never have shut up about us. They just keep spreading their fantasies to anyone that will listen. WiW, I didn't really think you thought I was incredibly stupid. I wasn't offended, but I thought I should clarify my position on Vaknin since you brought him up. I certainly agree with the big circle jerk that is Vaknin and his followers. You are right, that kind of unquestioning devotion to a malignant narcissist is incredibly stupid. Beyond incredibly stupid. I have to wonder about their agenda...or their intelligence. Or both. I also detest Vaknin's use of the English language. I agree that he is much more into obfuscation than clarification although one of the best essays on how the narcissist perverts the use of language was written by him. The slander you have been subjected to is not something you have control over, unfortunately. But going completely no contact can eventually leave them with little to say...and little ability to prove that what they say is true. No contact is really the only recourse you have to start over and minimize the effect of the slander campaign. I am very sorry for this. I know what it feels like and I know the sense of helplessness in the face of this cruel tactic. Removing yourself from everyone who is in any way associated with the narcissist, as well as the narcissist, is about all you can do. Those who have sided with the narcissist and lapped up the slander like nectar have revealed themselves to be just as dangerous to you as the narcissist is. Moving to another state is actually a very good idea. I have done so and have reduced the impact of my mother's slander campaign against me to zero. She can say whatever she wants to whomever she wants because I hear none of it. No one in her circle has remained in my circle. Her lies can't affect me because I never hear them. No one I associate with now ever hears them. Her world has been separated from mine completely. Peace reigns. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I was feeling that moving would be "running away" in a sense. Like I was afraid of them, which I NEVER want them to believe. I despise them for their evil, and hold anyone in contact with them in utter contempt. They deserve to be deceived by them because a wise person would question why they are spewing all this garbage. But, I've found that most "christians" put their brains on hold. That is the worst offense of all. Sorry, for ranting. I was raised in the ministry (from a long line of ministers) by extremely legalistic parents, and have experienced much misteaching myself. I was always made to feel guilty for not "turning the other cheek" and being "bigger" than other people. I'm still sorting through it all, and I'm in my late 40's. :) I guess there are just some things that take a long time to get past. Anyway, moving does feel right to me because it is the way of peace. Staying here only makes me more suspicious and untrusting of others. Isn't it interesting how when people say, "You're judgemental," it's meant as an insult? Also, when people say, "Don't be so judgemental" or "Don't judge" or "Judge not", they really mean "Don't tell me what I can and can't do. I do what I want! Nyah!" Judging isn't always a negative thing. You can judge someone as beautiful, intelligent, kind, etc. and I doubt anyone will jump on you with the J-word. You're allowed (and even encouraged) to judge others as long as you're agreeing with them in some way. If you're a sycophant, judging is your cup of tea. If no one is allowed to or supposed to judge, then how come no one gets mad when someone says they're smart and wonderful? THAT is judging others. How come when people say "He who is without sin cast the first stone," they always leave out the very next part where Jesus says to the woman, "Go and sin no more." He wasn't saying don't JUDGE. He was saying, don't condemn. He didn't condemn her to a stoning death, but he DIDN'T hold back His judgement of her behavior as sin, either. He said it straight out, honestly and plain as day. Funny how no one wants to remember THAT part of the verse. Judging is also discerning. We always judge, we MUST judge. We have every right to judge. It doesn't mean we are bad or wrong or hateful. It means we understand right and wrong and have an opinion. I am of course against anyone going overboard and beating someone over the head with condemnation, but I don't think we're talking about that. Judging is essential to having an identity. Being raised in a very religious atmosphere by a mother whom I am beginning to recognize is a narcissist and an emotional absent father, the "being judgmental" issue is one I understand well. I also spent several years working for a minister that turned out to be narcissistic. Yay. What I have come to realize is that the injunction made by Jesus to "judge not lest you be judged' is talking about the personal determination whether someone else is going to hell or will be 'saved' and is 'worth' saving. In other places, the Bible TELLS us to JUDGE. "Test all things; hold fast what is good." 1 Thessalonians 5:21 NKJV What does this mean except to JUDGE whether something is good or not? Jesus is our example, as Christians. Did he, while he was here, ever judge anyone? "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which indeed appear beautiful outwardly, but inside are full of dead men’s bones and all uncleanness." Matthew 23:27 NKJV This was a SEVERE judgment. The word judgment has, I think become a 'bad word.' Understanding the true definitions of words helps. Every time we open the refrigerator and sniff the milk, we are 'passing judgment' on whether it is fit to drink or not. If we do not 'judge' whether individual people in our lives are good or bad for our own mental health, we are, I think, being irresponsible. Blog on, Anna, you are helping me untangle the webs in my own life. Thanks. One of the greatest challenges I've noted with ACONS-actually, there's a couple, but they're all related-is our INABILITY to make decisions/use our judgement particularly regarding relationships /other people with whom we interact. And it makes a lot of sense since we grew up with "Parents" who routinely engaged in gas lighting, lying, obfuscation, diversion etc. We don't trust ourselves OR our perceptions. At All. Our "bar" for unacceptable behavior is set somewhere below the sub-basement parking garage (if not just plain busted) so we'll tolerate a whole lot more objective (i.e., seen from the "outside") unacceptable behavior than the average person. We're beyond "tolerant" of BS to the point we're now covered in the stench of some other MN/CB (Cluster B) due to the MN/CB's Projection Machine tactics and our willingness to "go along to get along" and abject fear of being perceived as meanies, "judgemental," "intolerant" etc. We're Prime Candidates for The Cult of Nice/PC-ness while supplying a USDA Grade A Prime Feed to some other MN/CB. The point is, we'll NEVER gain the confidence we need and take the "Lessons Learned" from our CB FOOs forward in a useful way UNLESS we start EXERCISING our judgement. This is the only way I know of to start the process of truly shaking off the CB FOO Legacy. Like a muscle, ya gotta use it or loose it, ya gotta exercise it; otherwise, it atrophies. If we're wrong? So what? That other person (believe it or not) doesn't need your approval or lack thereof to go on with their lives. Likewise, NEITHER DO YOU need their's to move forward with your own. Chances are (especially as an ACON) by the time you pick up the cues and ACKNOWLEDGE them to yourself, you're long past the point of "tolerant" and your "non-judgemental" stance has once again landed you in a world of hurt. While none of us would have chosen to grow up MN/CB-Parented that doesn't mean you haven't learned some valuable Lessons in Life you absolutely need to use to ward off your MNParent(s) or the other CBs you're likely to encounter throughout your life and to respond appropriately in a way that leaves your well-being intact. (<Which includes your dignity and self-respect.) Intellectual knowledge of concepts like Boundaries etc. are useless unless they translate into your daily life. Having a paradigm in which to think is fine-whether it's gaining knowledge about MNarcs, Cluster B's etc. We're logical creatures and naming "what ails" is necessary but not sufficient to ensure you're truly armed so you "Won't Get Fooled Again" as The Who sung all those decades ago. I've watched as people have talked their knowledge re: MNs/CBs to death (sometimes for years) and continued to find themselves in the same ol', same ol' IRL over and over again. (Huh. Speaking of "Lost in Translation" ;) ) There comes a point IMO where you're no longer a "Victim:" You're a Volunteer. Yeah-gasp! How's that for "Judgemental?!" When someone accuses you of being "Judgemental," etc., put it through your very experienced MN/CB Translator and hear, "How DARE YOU tell da TRUTH about MEEEEE!" And then, ACT on it. Yeah, I know it's hard, it's "uncomfortable" etc. but if you're tangling with a MN or any flavor of CB, you're currently in a damn "uncomfortable" place already. You're no longer a powerless kid-you CAN see the Exit sign and actually use it for it's intended purpose. Umm, yeah, this is an Emergency, OK? And here's why: Remaining engaged with NPs/CBs is like giving a 3 yr. old a weapon, complete instructions, unlimited ammo and expecting them to use it responsibly! And just think of the endless Supply your NP could suck out of your/their offspring's death-how's that for some primo "motivation?" ;) TW
Caning is a form of punishment that involves beating a person with a cane, usually made of rattan. Each blow of the cane is called a "cut" or a "stroke". It is most often applied to the hands or buttocks. Caning, as a form of corporal punishment, is prohibited under international law as a form of torture. Caning was banned in British public schools only a few years ago. It is still practiced in places such as Singapore, Hong Kong, Malaysia, and Brunei.
Housing is at the heart of the economic crisis, and getting housing right will be part of its answer. It is also one of the toughest of political quandaries, one whose obvious answer is so unpalatable that no government has had the courage to face it. The quandary is this: housing costs too much, but for millions of people, security depends on the value of their bricks and mortar. A generation are being priced out of homes so that their parents keep the value of their principal asset. It is not surprising that the politicians' solutions – whether it's the hints this weekend from the prime minister and the chancellor of easier planning laws, or the implementation at the end of last week of a law that criminalises squatting – are little more than populist window dressing that will make no real difference to the fundamental problem. And while attempts to magic a simple answer are rational short-term politics, they risk damaging the prospects of a realistic debate and ultimately a long-term solution. Plainly, more homes are needed, particularly in the south-east. But the reason for the catastrophic decline in the number of new ones being built is not only the tight planning regulations or an overprotected green belt. Builders aren't building on land for which they have planning permission now because they can't sell the houses they've built already. They can't sell the houses because mortgages are still hard to come by and people are still fearful of getting into more debt. So lending is still two-thirds below its 2007 peak. And builders won't bring down their prices because it would compromise their investment in expensive land and expensively built homes. The shortage of homes people can afford means young couples are delaying having children. At the current rate, one in four will be priced out of home ownership by 2025. To fill the gap, the private rented sector is expanding fast. But it needs better, longer-term tenancy agreements in place if it is to become a valid choice for families, and it needs to find ways – as the government's Montague report suggested last month – of persuading pension funds to invest in the housing market when relatively low profitability makes the idea unattractive. In this context, criminalising squatting can be seen for the irrelevance that it is. It is true that there have been cases of homes left briefly empty for sale or renovation being taken over by squatters. These get lots of publicity and rightly make people angry and also disproportionately fearful. But it is not hard to prosecute them under the current law (as 160 practitioners pointed out in a letter on these pages last year). Research from the housing action charity Crisis suggests most people who squat are vulnerable and homeless, and squat because they can see no alternative. It is a welfare and housing issue, not a criminal one. At the same time there are at least 700,000 empty homes in England and Wales. But bringing them back into service is not easy. Most are for sale or awaiting repairs or renovation. Less than a third have been empty for more than six months. Everyone knows this is daft, an affront to those desperate for somewhere to live as well as to those who have to live next door to boarded-up, often vandalised properties, but it is no long-term answer to the housing crisis. Meanwhile, the consequences of policy failure mount up in soaring private-sector rents and the cap on housing benefit, plans to sell off high value social housing and reinvigorate the right to buy. Politicians have to accept there is no quick fix for housing. More than that, there is no obvious, tried and tested route out of the current crisis. Getting it right will take an attitudinal shift. It is no longer possible to leave it to the market. Housing policy cannot be constrained by the desire to maintain and enhance voters' assets, nor the need to protect the construction industry's profits. Nor, important as it is, should it only be about providing jobs. Housing is a public good, and that is how public policy must treat it. View all comments >

The NOAA Coastal Services Center is no longer distributing the Marine Spill Analysis System (MSAS) CD-ROM nor maintaining the MSAS Web site. The Center has transitioned its support from MSAS to a spinoff application called the Environmental Resource Analysis Tools (formerly ERPgis), designed by the Florida Department of Environmental Protection (DEP). This application represents a more generic environmental assessment tool and allows users to build their own data models, define their own analyses and data queries, and improve reporting capabilities. In addition, it still retains most of the functionality of the old MSAS application. For further information on the ERAtools (formerly ERPgis), please see.

Many types of veneers in Dubai are available, but Lumineers, Composite, and Porcelain veneers are the most common. If you consider veneers for your smile, you should be aware of their pros and cons. It is also important to understand their side effects and benefits. A consultation with a cosmetic dentist will help you choose the right veneers for your needs. Here are some major types of veneers. Lumineers: When it comes to getting veneers, you have several choices. There are composite veneers, porcelain veneers, and instant or removable veneers. Composite veneers are a quick fix for small cosmetic issues. They can be removed and replaced without extensive tooth decay, and they can be very affordable. However, they can also chip and lose their color over time, so they are not a good choice if you need to avoid major repairs. Composite veneers: Composite veneers are an excellent choice for people who want to change the appearance of their teeth without spending a fortune. Composites are designed and installed directly on the teeth, unlike porcelain veneers, without a dental lab. This technique requires the dentist’s artistic eye and technique. Composite veneers can be placed in just one office visit, whereas porcelain veneers require several appointments. Composite veneers are made of tooth-shaded resin, then shaped, sculpted, and polished. Composite veneers can be removed easily and are not permanent. Porcelain veneers: Before choosing to get porcelain veneers for your smile, it’s important to know the difference between them. This is because porcelain veneers are more expensive than composite ones. They require more time, expertise, and resources to be properly placed. Also, the dental labs that your dentist works with charge money for the restorations they produce. However, if you’re adamant about getting a beautiful smile, porcelain veneers are still well worth the expense. Instant veneers: Among the many dental treatments, instant veneers are a great choice for those with severely stained teeth or other dental imperfections. You must also have adequate tooth enamel and a healthy oral condition if you are a candidate. Whether your teeth are chipped, cracked, or crooked, instant veneers can help you get a new smile in as little as one visit. They are made of thin plastic or resin and can be removed or replaced. Although they have many benefits, this type of cosmetic treatment is not widely available in many parts of the country.

This week Alaskans joined the Great American Spit Out, a nationwide campaign committed to quitting smokeless tobacco. The Spit Out is part of Through With Chew Week, a smokeless tobacco-cessation effort running from Feb. 17-23. Tobacco users are encouraged to quit with the support of their peers on Thursday, the official "quit" day. While approximately 5 percent of American adults use smokeless tobacco, that rate of usage nearly doubles among Alaska Native women -- and it's three times higher than the national average among Alaska Native men. According to data from the state Department of Health and Social Services (PDF), 21.7 percent of adults in Southwest Alaska use smokeless tobacco. The rest of the state, including Anchorage, averages just under 5 percent. The same study determined that more Alaskans die annually from the direct effects of tobacco use than from suicide, motor vehicle crashes, chronic liver disease and cirrhosis, homicide and HIV/AIDS combined. The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium is participating in the campaign by distributing information and offering cessation assistance to Natives. Caroline Nevak, ANTHC's tobacco-free campus coordinator, says for some children the problem starts with iqmik, a combination of chewing tobacco and ash primarily used by Alaska Natives. "There are stories that when a baby is teething, they will put iqmik to soothe their pain," Nevak said. Nevak says she quit "cold turkey" when she discovered her gums were receding, and has been tobacco-free for 15 years. The cessation programs offered at ANTHC include nicotine gum, patches, lozenges, and pills as well as a year-long counseling program. Alaskans who are not eligable for the assistance at ANTHC can seek help quitting any type of tobacco by calling the Alaska Tobacco Quit Line at 1-800-QUIT-NOW. Contact Nancy Lockwood

The George Floyd protests were a series of protests and riots that started in the Minneapolis-Saint Paul metropolitan area, Minnesota, United States. Unrest began in Minneapolis on May 26, 2020, after the murder of George Floyd and continued until early 2022. Floyd died while being arrested by officers of the Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) on May 25. Protests spread to many cities in the United States, and later the world. Some of the protesters at the MPD's Third Precinct fought with law enforcement officers, who fired tear gas and rubber bullets. Additionally, the Third Precinct's windows were smashed. A supermarket was looted, and other buildings were attacked and set on fire. At least thirteen people were killed so because of the protests, but overall, most protests were peaceful. According to a September 2020 report by the U.S. Crisis Monitor, almost 95% of all protests were nonviolent. On May 28, Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey declared a state of emergency, and Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz called in 500 Minnesota National Guard troops. More businesses across the Twin Cities were damaged and looted. MPD in the Third Precinct building attempted to hold off the protesters with tear gas, but around 11:00 pm, protesters overran the building and set it on fire. It had been evacuated. Both Walz and Frey added curfews. Former U.S. President Donald Trump assured Walz of U.S. military support. The activist group Black Lives Matter is involved in the protests. They do not have one leader or one organization. There were many attacks on journalists, both in the Twin Cities and at sister protests. Background The George Floyd protests took place in the spring and early summer of 2020, shortly after the number of deaths from coronavirus disease 2019 in the United States reached 100,000. The COVID-19 pandemic had already affected black and other non-white Americans more than white Americans. Experts said that the protesters might spread the virus to each other. Governor of New York Andrew Cuomo said on Saturday, May 30: "You have a right to demonstrate. You have the right to protest. God bless America. You don't have a right to infect other people. You don't have a right to act in a way that's going to jeopardize public health. ... You can have an opinion but there are also facts, and you're wrong not to wear a mask." Some experts said the COVID-19 pandemic helped cause the George Floyd protests and made them larger. Scholar Dr. Marcella Nunez-Smith of the Yale School of Medicine said, "They are protesting against police brutality and excessive force, no question, but they're also protesting for the ability to live their lives fully and completely, and to not have their lives cut short, either by force or preventable diseases." Experts thought that the George Floyd protests would cause more people to catch COVID-19. In the United States, however, that did not happen as of July 1. Scientists said this could have been because the number of cases in large cities like New York was already going down, because the protests took place outside, because the protesters mostly wore masks, or because the protesters usually kept moving by walking or marching. Other experts said that because most of the protesters were young, healthy adults, perhaps they did catch COVID-19 and had not noticed. Protests There were sister protests in all 50 of the United States and in the capital, Washington, D.C. Some of the protests were peaceful and others had violence and looting. The National Guard moved out into more than 25 of the nation's 50 states. Many early protests were peaceful while some later turned violent. In some places, police remained calm, and in others they used force, tear gas, and rubber bullets. In Washington, D.C. one man let more than 50 protesters come into his house so they could escape from the police who were chasing them. Two weeks into the protests, 9300 people had been arrested in the United States, including 1500 in New York and 2700 in Los Angeles. In Newark, New Jersey, 12,000 people protested over the weekend of May 31. No one damaged any stores and no one was arrested. The Newark Community Street Team, formed in 2014, worked to prevent violence. Newark city leaders said that the young black Americans among the protesters were the reason the protest stayed peaceful. Camden, New Jersey and Flint, Michigan also had peaceful protests. Protesters outside the White House, the building in Washington, D.C. where the president lives, called for Trump to resign. Some threw bottles. The United States Secret Service took Trump to a bunker in the White House. On Monday, June 1, the Secret Service used tear gas on peaceful protesters outside the White House so President Donald Trump could walk to St. John's Church and have his picture taken with a Bible. On the weekend of June 6-7, protests in the United States were even bigger but mostly peaceful, according to The New York Times, and the protesters were more unified in what they wanted: police reform. There were tens of thousands of protesters in large cities like New York and Seattle and also protests in smaller towns like Marion, Ohio and Vidor, Texas. New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio announced on Sunday morning that New York City was stopping its 8:00 p.m. curfew. The activist group Black Lives Matter sued the police department of Seattle, Washington on Tuesday June 9. That evening, protesters took over Seattle's city hall for about one hour. The protesters left city hall on their own (no one pushed them out). Protesters took over part of downtown Seattle, calling it the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. At some point in June, there were four shootings in the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone. On July 1, city officials sent the police to clear the protesters out. They arrested 13 people. The Georgia NAACP planned a March on Georgia for June 15. Thousands of people marched to the Georgia state capitol building to stop police brutality. The marchers also said they were marching because Georgia had made it harder for black people to vote by closing so many voting places that the ones that were left had very long lines, because they think Georgia's citizens' arrest laws are unfair, and because of the killings Rayshard Brooks, Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery. In New York City, a group called Street Riders NYC organized bicycle riders to ride through the city chanting "Whose streets? Our streets!" "Say his name: George Floyd," and other slogans. Bicycle protests could have thousands of people, often riding through parts of the city where protesters do not usually go. One of Street Riders NYC's founders, Peter Kerre, told the New York Times, "We went deep, deep into the hood, places where these folks have never seen a march come through, and suddenly they're seeing 6,000 bikes. The reaction was just priceless, folks crying out with gratitude, coming out to say 'Thank you.'" In late June, protesters came to City Hall Park in New York City and built a camp there with a welcome desk, library, tea hut, and kitchens. They were led by the group Vocal-NY. They demanded that the city remove US$1 billion from the city's police department's $6 billion budget and spend it on education and other things. New York City decides on its yearly budget on July 1. Journalists As of June 4, journalists covering the protests were attacked more than 300 times, 192 of them by the police, including 69 physical attacks. 49 journalists were arrested. On the morning of May 28, white Minneapolis police officers arrested Omar Jimenez, a reporter for CNN, and his crew while they were filming the protests. Jiminez is black. He told the officers that he and his crew were journalists and offered to move further away, but the officers arrested them anyway. They were released later that day. Walz apologized to CNN, and said publicly that Jiminez and his crew had only been doing their jobs and acting within their rights. A white CNN reporter who had been working a block away from Jiminez noted that he had not been bothered by the police, only asked who he was. In Minneapolis alone, several people were injured. In Washington, D.C., Amelia Brace and Tim Myers of 7News Australia were with the protesters who were pushed away so Donald Trump could walk to St. John's Church. Sometimes protesters attacked journalists. In Washington D.C., protesters threw things at journalists from Fox News. In Atlanta, someone attacked CNN headquarters. Suzanne Nossel of the human rights group PEN America blamed President Trump, who has said bad things about journalists since before he was elected. Human rights lawyer Tendai Biti said it reminded him of dictatorships in Africa. Violence According to a report written by the U.S. Crisis Monitor, Armed Conflict Location and Event Data Project (ACLED), and the Bridging Divides Initiative of Princeton University, almost 95% of the protests were peaceful. They studied 10,600 protests between late May and late August and found that 10,100 had no violence. Only 570 protests had any violent acts. In cities where some protests were violent, it tended to happen in one or a few places and not through the whole city. Out of all protests connected to Black Lives Matter, 93% had no violence. International protests There were also protests outside the United States, in London, Toronto, Beijing, Berlin, Addis Ababa, and other places. Some of these international protesters said they wanted to support George Floyd but also bring attention to the racist actions by police in their own countries. In Toronto, protesters remembered the death of Regis Korchinski-Paquet, a black woman who fell out of her balcony when the police were in her apartment. Londoners protested outside the Grenfell Tower where many blacks and Arabs died in a fire. Parisians remembered Adama Traore, who died after being arrested by French police. Australians planned protests remembering David Dungay, an Australian Aboriginal man who died after being arrested. Dungay also said "I can't breathe," twelve times. Some protesters have told their own leaders that they want new laws against racism. Impostors At least one white supremacist group, Identity Evropa, pretended to be on the protesters' side on Twitter. They said they were part of antifa and told protesters to loot white neighborhoods. They were caught, and Twitter took their posts down for breaking their rules about violence, spam, and fake accounts. Car collisions As of the first week of July, drivers drove cars into groups of protesters 66 different times in the United States alone. Seven of the drivers were police. At least two people died. 24 drivers have been charged with crimes. Arrests by federal agents In mid-July in Portland, Oregon, federal agents began arresting protesters by pulling them into vehicles that did not have police markings on them. They did not tell the protesters exactly why they were being arrested. Some protesters were later charged with crimes and others were released. These agents were from the federal government. Some of them were from Special Operations Group and Customs and Border Protection's BORTAC. Legally, federal agents are only allowed to arrest people on suspicion of federal crimes. Officially, they are only supposed to protect property that belongs to the U.S. federal government, but they have arrested people who were not near federal property. They did not ask the State of Oregon or the City of Portland for permission to arrest people in Portland. The mayor of Portland, Ted Wheeler, said he did not want the federal agents in the city. Governor of Oregon Kate Brown said it was "political theater from President Trump has nothing to do with public safety" and "a blatant abuse of power by the federal government." On July 18, Navy Seabee veteran Christopher David heard about the arrests and went to downtown Portland to talk to the agents. Federal agents take an oath to defend the United States Constitution. David wanted to ask the agents how they could wrongly arrest people and defend the Constitution. Instead of answering him, they sprayed him with pepper spray and hit him with batons. They broke his leg. The event was caught on video. On the night of July 22-23, protesters in Portland came to a federal building and threw fireworks over the fence. Federal agents used tear gas on the crowd. They also tear-gassed Portland Mayor Ted Wheeler, who had come out to talk to the protesters. Other events In Brooklyn, New York, video showed an officer pushing a seventy-year-old man. The man fell down and bled from his head. Both were white. The officer, Vincent D'Andraia, had also hurt other protesters. He was suspended and charged with assault. D'Andraia was the first New York City police officer charged with a crime because of things he did during the George Floyd protests. In Seattle, Washington, 31 year old Nikolas Fernandez drove his car into a group of protesters and shot a man. He said he was afraid for his life because the protesters tried to grab him through his window. Firefighters took the injured man to the hospital. In Richmond, Virginia on Sunday, June 7, 36 year old Harry H. Rogers drove his car into a group of protesters. Rogers is a member of the Ku Klux Klan, a white supremacist group. Authorities charged Rogers with attempted malicious wounding, felony vandalism, and assault and battery and the prosecutor said she would consider charging him with a hate crime. In Chicago, Illinois on Monday, August 10, people broke windows and stole things in the Magnificent Mile, which is Chicago's main shopping area. Many people were injured. More than 100 people were arrested. The city raised the bridges leading to the Magnificent Mile and stopped public transit so no one else could go in. Mayor of Chicago Lori Lightfoot said that Chicago did not need Federal agents. Donations People donated money to black-led political groups, especially bail funds. Bail funds provide money to help people who have been arrested get out of jail before their trials. The National Bail Fund Network got $75 million in two weeks. The Minnesota Freedom Fund got $20 million in four days. The Bail Project got more than $15 million. There was so much that some groups could not count it all. Black Lives Matter got $5 million from one petition alone. Some groups received so much money that they did not need more and told donors to go to other groups. Deaths As of June 9, 2020, nineteen people have died because of the protests: On May 27 in Minneapolis, Minnesota, Calvin Horton Jr. was killed during a protest. A local shopowner was arrested, and police said that the suspect had fired his gun after he saw lootings. On May 29 in Detroit, Michigan, a man was killed near to the protests. On May 30 in Oakland, California, a Federal Protective Service officer, David Patrick Underwood, was killed outside a federal courthouse in a drive-by attack. Another guard was also injured. The Department of Homeland Security has labeled the shooting an act of domestic terrorism. The FBI has not yet identified a motive or a suspect. On May 30 in St. Louis, Missouri, a man died after being hit by a FedEx truck that was driving away from rioters. On May 30 in Omaha, Nebraska, protester James Scurlock was killed outside of a bar. The suspect of the shooting is the owner of the bar. On May 30 in Chicago, Illinois, a man was killed and five others were injured in from many different events near protesters. On May 31 in Indianapolis, Indiana, two people were killed near to protests. On June 1 in Louisville, Kentucky, a man was killed when the Louisville Metro Police and the Kentucky National Guard started shooting at the crowd. These authorities said that they returned fire after shots were fired at them. However, the man killed was not taking part in protests. An investigation for the death is ongoing. On June 1 in Davenport, Iowa, two people were killed on a night with a lot of rioting. One police officer was also injured in a shooting. On June 2 in St. Louis, Missouri, a police captain was killed after he tried to protect looters who stole television sets from a pawn shop. Public opinion According to Pew Research, two thirds of American adults thought the protests were good: 60% of white adults, 86% of black adults, 75% of Asian adults and 77% of Hispanic adults. Some said the Floyd protests showed America was losing its place as a leader of other countries. French journalist Pierre Haski said on June 1, "Beijing could not have hoped for a better gift. The country that designates China as the culprit of all evils is making headlines around the world with the urban riots." Government response Reaction from Tim Walz Governor of Minnesota Tim Walz wanted change: "It is time to rebuild. Rebuild the city, rebuild our justice system, and rebuild the relationship between law enforcement and those they're charged to protect. George Floyd's death should lead to justice and systemic change, not more death and destruction." On June 2, 2020, Governor Walz said the Minnesota Department of Human Rights would investigate the Minneapolis Police Department. Governor Walz said, "The investigation will review MPD's policies, procedures and practices over the last 10 years to determine if the department has utilized systemic discriminatory practices towards people of color." Human Rights Commissioner Rebecca Lucero said the Department could have the results of its report in "several months." Reaction from Donald Trump President Donald Trump spoke about his sympathy for George Floyd and his family, but also called the protesters "thugs" and said "when the looting starts, the shooting starts." Twitter hid the post because it broke their rules about presenting violence as good. Trump blamed the protests on "weak" Democratic mayors and governors and on the anti-fascist movement antifa, saying he would declare it a terrorist organization. Senator Tim Scott of South Carolina, a black Republican, called Trump's tweets "not constructive." On June 1, Trump told the cities and states with protests that they must stop the trouble or else he would send the military to do it. The law that allows Trump to do this, the Insurrection Act of 1807, was last used in 1992 for the Rodney King riots in Los Angeles. Also on June 1, just before 7:00 p.m., when people had been ordered to stay off the street, police and Secret Service fired flash-bangs and tear gas at protesters near the White House. They did this to make the protesters leave St. John's Church. Then President Trump walked to St. John's Church, held up a Bible, and had his picture taken. Bishop Mariann E. Budde, the Episcopal religious leader for Washington D.C., said Trump did not say any prayers or talk about George Floyd. The next day, several Democrats and two Republicans said Trump was wrong to do this. Nebraska Senator Ben Sasse, a Republican, said. "But there is a fundamental -- a constitutional -- right to protest, and I'm against clearing out a peaceful protest for a photo op that treats the word of God as a political prop." Reaction from the city of Minneapolis Officials from the Minneapolis announced on June 5 that the police were no longer allowed to use chokeholds on people. On June 7, the city council voted to take apart the police department and replace it with something else. Reaction from the state of Minnesota The Minnesota state legislature attempted to write a new law that would redesign all police departments in Minnesota. In 2020, Minnesota's state legislature is the only one in the United States in which one political party controls one house and the other party controls the other. The United States Democratic Party has the majority of people in the Minnesota House of Representatives and the United States Republican Party has the majority of people in the Minnesota State Senate. The Democrats wanted large changes to policing and the criminal justice system in Minnesota, like letting the state attorney general investigate police killings and restoring voting rights to felons. The Republicans wanted small changes, like making a rule against using chokeholds like the one Chauvin used to kill George Floyd. Democrats said they did not like the Republican plan because it was mostly things that police departments had already tried. At midnight on Friday June 19, the Minnesota state legislature ran out of time. Their session ended, and neither plan became law. Other reactions Many American cities and states removed statues of Confederate soldiers and officers during the George Floyd protests. Sometimes the protesters pulled the statues down and sometimes the city councils decided to remove them. On June 5, the United States Marine Corps announced they would not allow Confederate flags at their bases. The Confederates were the pro-slavery side of the American Civil War in the 1800s. According to the Southern Poverty Law Center, Confederate statues and flags support white supremacy. Protesters also damaged or pulled down statues of Christopher Columbus in at least seven cities, including Miami, Boston, Baltimore, Maryland, Richmond, Virginia and Columbus, Ohio. Universities renamed buildings. Columbia University's medical school was founded by Samuel Bard, a doctor who knew George Washington. He also owned slaves. In 1931, Columbia named a dormitory building, Bard Hall, after him. Columbia's Teacher's College took the name Edward L. Thorndike off a building. Thorndike had hated Jews and supported sexism and eugenics. Princeton University renamed Wilson College because the man it was named after, President Woodrow Wilson, had racist policies. In June, the United States Senate ordered the military to change the names of all military bases named after Confederates, such as Fort Bragg. They have three years to pick new names. In Bristol, England on the 7th of June, a crowd pushed down a statue of slave trader Edward Colston and threw it in the harbor. On July 15, people put up a statue of Jen Ried, a Black Lives Matter protester. The next day, the government of the city took the statue down because no one had asked for permission to put it up. The city officials took the statue to a museum. The statue is called "A Surge of Power (Jen Reid)" and was made by Marc Quinn. Notes
Nebraska Player Quotes vs. Michigan Nebraska 23, #20 Michigan 9 Saturday, Oct. 27, 2012 Memorial Stadium (Lincoln, Neb.) Nebraska Players Senior Safety P.J. Smith On how it felt to catch his interception "It was pretty good. I didn't finish the play off, so I'm dissapointed about that, but it feels pretty good." On what he thought when Denard Robinson got hurt "When he got hurt the backup quarterback came in and he's not really a threat. We were able to not be so [worried] about the quarterback." On whether or not they were trying to go after the backup quarterterback to try and force mistakes "It didn't matter who was their quarterback, because we were going to try to go after him [the quarterback] anyway. That was just our game plan. The defense did their job, and the cornerbacks and safeties were doing their job. It was a good win." On what they did in practice to try to keep mistakes to a minimum "In practice if we dropped an interception, we would do pushups, and we kind of got frustrated with that. The guys just went out there and made the plays today. We've got to have those plays to win a game. It was pretty good to see that we were able to get three." On turning down the Blackshirts "We felt like last year after we got our Blackshirts we went out the next game and did horrible. When they gave them out to us we decided we didn't deserve it. We shut down Michigan and now we deserve to get them. That was what we did and was our whole mind frame, to just shut them down." Sophomore I-Back Ameer Abdullah On when he felt the defense started to give a little bit "I would say in the first quarter. We had a pretty good tempo going in the first quarter. Sometimes we had sloppier execution, but good thing we brought it together." On what he saw from the running back position for execution "It was some calls that we should have made for offensive line protection things that we missed early. The tempo was so fast sometimes that we couldnt get the calls in before the plays started. That's what I mean as far as execution. After halftime we readjusted and came out strong." On whether or not the quick tempo was somthing they saw Michigan lacked or if it was just something they wanted to do going forward "Quick tempo is something we are always trying to do, but we saw that they have some big guys in front, so we decided to run it up the middle. On the stakes being raised each week and his perspective on that as a player "We take it one game at a time. We don't look ahead. We understand what's at stake, and what we have to do. Taking every game one at a time, and making every game the most important game. Junior Lineman Jeremiah Sirles On how important the win was "This game just makes the next one that much more important. Every game we win from here on out just raises the stakes more and more to get us where we want to be, which is the Big Ten Championship. This game just leads right into the next one. Every game is a must win for us. The Big Ten, on both sides, is out there for anyone to take, so we've just got to make sure we keep rolling with this momentum into the next week and the week after that because it gets more and more important." On how physical the game was "Very physical game. They're very talented up front, very big. I think that our tempo really helped us as far as getting up on the ball and just keep moving and moving until eventually we started wearing them down a little bit." On getting 100 yards back "That's huge. We love seeing 100 yards by a back. I think this may be our lowest rushing game of the year, which takes a shot to my pride personally as an offensive lineman. We always want to try and have as much rushing as we can, even more than passing. That's what we live for type of thing, but props to Michigan's front seven. They did a real good job holding us in check for the most part. Ameer (Abdullah) came out and played a heck of a game and we're really proud of him." On how the offense played against Michigan's defense "I think we made some mistakes that we can't make in the future. I think it's good that they happened because now we can learn from them, but I also think that we came out and we just stayed the course. We didn't let things get us flustered. We didn't start losing our minds on the sideline. We came off the sideline, made adjustments to what we were doing. We just stayed the course of our gameplan and it showed in the fourth quarter. That long drive where we just kept coming at them, that's where we eventually started to wear them down." Senior Linebacker Sean Fisher On what was changed after Dennard Robinson left the game "Schematically, we didn't really change a whole lot. I think everybody in the stands and on the sidelines could kind of breath a sigh of relief because he's such a threat. We figured that they'd try to get the ball into some of their other good players' hands, so we didn't really change anything from a defensive stand point. We just kept running our calls and really kept an emphasis on the things that we always made a point of running." On how his game went personally "Everybody likes to go out to play. As a product of the circumstances sometimes this year, it's been a little light on the playing time. That's not anything you can control. You can't get mad about it. If you play as a team, that's just how it is. Games like the Wisconsin game have been fun for me because I did get to go out there and get some consistent playing time. It's hard when you go out for one series or a play or two and then you don't go out there for another quarter and that hasn't been the case in past games. It's just kind of fun to get a feel for the game. You kind of feel how it's flowing and you get into it a little bit more." On how the defense prepared "Tonight, I think the defense just as a whole played a lot better because we really emphasized the small things, getting back to little things. Not dropping picks, not letting the scout team run down field and saying, 'Oh, we'll cover it on Saturday'. I think that translated. You saw the three picks we had, especially the big one at the end by Stanley. So just emphasizing those things and really focusing on the details has translated." On David Santos "He played great. I think he got 10 tackles or something like that. He's still young, he's really coming along. He's kind of a guy that, during camp, you could tell he was right on the edge of really understanding and really having things quick, but there are still some concepts that are foggy. I think you'll really start to see him come along and really grasp those things and I think it showed up on the field." On Dennard Robinson leaving the game "Like I said, we didn't really talk about it on the sideline or anything. Schematically, we stayed the same. Of course, we don't want to see anyone injured. I've had plenty of injuries in the past and they're no fun, but we weren't upset about it during the game." On how practice differed from previous weeks Structure was pretty much the same. I guess we emphasized things like picks, not letting those to the ground if we had the chance, not letting the ball off. Not letting people just run down the field and saying, 'Oh, it's no big deal. It's just the scout team.' I think the focus was great. We were locked in. Obviously this is a big game that we really needed to have and I think that you could kind of tell in the way people prepared throughout the week that it was a big focus for everybody and I think that it translated tonight." On if the coaches led the change "I don't think it was really the coaches having to leash it as much as just all of us understanding the gravity of the game and taking it amongst ourselves to focus and not let anything like that go on." On what this game meant "Obviously, with the Big Ten standings, it was kind of a must-have. Not that it wasn't still possible to get to the Big Ten championship, but it was out of our control if we lost it. We kind of talked about how we wanted to control our own futures and winning tonight took us one step closer to that. Obviously, that doesn't seal any deals or anything like that. Now we just keep it up against Michigan State and just take it one step at a time."
