Counselor sues Haskell, claiming she was demoted for objecting to school's treatment of rape victim
photo by: Conrad Swanson
A Haskell Indian Nations University employee is suing the school, the United States and U.S. Department of the Interior Secretary Sally Jewell, claiming she faced retaliation for advocating a rape victim's Title IX rights.
Angelina Adams was Haskell's counselor on call when a female student reported being raped by two football players in November 2014 in a Haskell dorm, according to Adams' lawsuit, filed Monday in federal court.
Assigned to assist the woman, named in the suit only as Jane Doe, Adams coordinated support services, sought academic accommodations, advised her of her Title IX rights and generally counseled her while lengthy criminal procedures against the men moved forward, according to the lawsuit.
Jared Wheeler and Galen Satoe were criminally charged with rape and expelled from Haskell following the woman's report. Wheeler and Satoe's criminal trials both ended with hung juries this summer, and the two men are scheduled for their second trials in December 2016 and February 2017, respectively.
Adams said Haskell's retaliation against her began this spring, when Haskell expelled Jane Doe.
According to Adams' lawsuit:
Jane Doe was involved in a "dispute" with a different male student on March 31 in a Haskell dorm, and Haskell expelled her for "hitting" the man.
Adams protested the following day, telling administrators Tonia Salvini and Danelle McKinney there was evidence Jane Doe was actually the victim in the altercation and that the university should give her due process before taking disciplinary action against her.
Adams said the male student left bruises on Jane Doe's arms and that she herself had met Jane Doe and photographed the bruises at a medical facility. Adams also said she discovered text messages from the male student indicating Haskell was pressuring him to press charges and file a "baseless" Title IX complaint against Jane Doe. Adams said she shared this information with administrators.
Within the month, Haskell told Adams to have no more contact with Jane Doe, removed her from her counseling position, changed her job duties to "special projects" and instructed her to stop seeing students. They also removed her from on-call duties that provided a regular opportunity for time-and-a-half pay.
Adams' lawsuit says Joshua Arce, Haskell's chief information officer and acting dean of students at the time, also was involved in her demotion.
Arce accused Adams of conspiring with Haskell's disabilities coordinator, Jane Doe's instructors and residential advisers to "accommodate" Jane Doe's academic absences while the criminal trials proceeded, according to the suit. Arce also accused Adams of moving Jane Doe into her home, and conspiring to prevent the male student involved in the dispute from playing basketball for the school, according to the suit.
Those accusations are not true, Adams said in her suit.
Title IX is the federal law that prohibits gender-based discrimination in education and the law under which universities are required to investigate and take measures to prevent sexual harassment, including sexual violence, on their campuses.
Adams referred questions to her attorney, Dan Curry of the Brown & Curry law firm in Kansas City, Mo.
Curry is also representing two women who are suing the University of Kansas under Title IX. The women, both former KU rowing team members, said they were sexually assaulted by the same KU football player in campus housing and that KU failed to properly respond to their reports.
Curry said his firm first worked with Adams this summer, when Haskell and the court asked Adams to provide Jane Doe's education, medical and counseling records for defense attorneys in Wheeler's and Satoe's criminal trials, which Curry said was not appropriate.
"Plaintiff was forced to hire private counsel in order to convince Joshua Arce to provide her representation and take steps to protect private student records as HINU was required to under the law," Curry wrote in the suit.
He said Adams ultimately did not personally turn over the records to the court, though Haskell did, and that she was not required to testify in either trial.
Haskell's decision to demote Adams, expose her to liability of unlawfully disclosing student records, berate, harass and humiliate her "was motivated by a retaliatory animus stemming from Plaintiff's advocacy for Jane Doe following Jane Doe's rapes and her expulsion," Adams' suit said.
Adams continues to suffer "great pain of mind and body, shock, emotional distress, embarrassment, loss of self-esteem, disgrace, humiliation, and loss of enjoyment of life … has sustained loss of earnings and earning capacity; has incurred and will continue to incur expenses for psychological treatment, therapy, and counseling as well as other economic hardships; and has incurred attorneys fees and costs in defending her rights."
Curry said Adams is now classified as a "career counselor" at Haskell.
The suit requests a jury trial and seeks an unspecified amount of money to compensate Adams for damages and attorney fees. Curry said Adams also wants her old job back, as a student counselor.
A Haskell spokesman did not provide any comment on behalf of the school on Monday.
Spokeswomen for the U.S. Department of the Interior and its Bureau of Indian Affairs both declined to answer questions, saying they do not comment on pending litigation. Haskell is a federal university, run by the Bureau of Indian Education within the Department of Interior.
Arce is the son of Haskell President Venida Chenault and the subject of a recent federal nepotism complaint filed by Haskell instructor Theresa Milk. Haskell has since removed Arce from the acting dean of students position.
The men accused of raping Jane Doe are not named in Adams' lawsuit, and Curry said he does not think his client's civil lawsuit will affect their pending criminal trials.
"The wrongful conduct that Angelina Adams is suing Haskell for occurred long after the two rapes. She's talking about how Haskell treated her for more than a year after," Curry said. "The difference in time is major."

LIONEL MESSI REMAINS "the best player in history" regardless of what Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo may say or do, claims Barcelona spokesman Josep Vives.
After landing the 2017 Ballon d'Or, Ronaldo boldly declared himself to be the greatest player of all-time.
Those claims are backed up by five world player of the year prizes — a tally which places him alongside eternal rival Messi.
Barcelona, though, refuse to believe that anybody compares to their Argentine talisman, with there no doubt in their mind as to who stands at the pinnacle of the global game.
"Respect to the Ballon d'Or and to Cristiano Ronaldo," Vives, spokesman for Barca's board of directors, said at a press conference.
We have always considered him a great player and a great competitor.
"But here at the Camp Nou, we can see the best player in history every 15 days, which is Messi."
Barca have already addressed the issue of Messi's future this season, with the 30-year-old forward having finally committed to a new contract through to 2021.
The La Liga giants are, however, yet to reveal what the future holds for another of their Argentine stars.
Javier Mascherano is tied to a deal until 2019, but a lack of game time is forcing him to look elsewhere.
The versatile 33-year-old has conceded that he may look to secure a switch during the winter transfer window, with a return to his homeland mooted.
Vives claims there is no update to report at present, with Barca working towards ensuring that their squad is not disrupted by any comings and goings in the new year.
He added: "Mascherano has earned respect.
As the coach said, after the January window, the club should come out stronger and not weaker.
"The general interest of the club is above the individual wishes of any of us, including the player.
"The player is listened to and taken into account."
Barcelona currently sit five points clear at the top of the La Liga standings and have a heavyweight encounter with Chelsea to look forward to in the last 16 of the Champions League.

Parent contribution in the community facilitates us identify the types of matters parents are concerned about and we attempt to address those on UniversityParent. com.
About UniversityParent. com:
When the period came meant for my parents to become me as a student at the University of Colorado, their anxieties improved. They want to know accommodations, dine, and also shop for late items some people felt As i couldn't live without. They also want to know what hobbies they could complete, or spots they could go to while this is my orientation timetable kept all of us busy.
Although my grounds offered an array of useful details for going to parents, we quickly learned that it was not compiled as one all-inclusive resource for easy and comfortable use. The parents' very own experience of a void of all-inclusive information just what sparked this particular venture. The thinking behind producing a University or college Parent Guideline began seeing that my man or woman project through the Leeds University of Company Entrepreneurship Application at the School of Colorado, Boulder. Right after graduating in year 2004, I attacked University Mother or father Media fully committed. The University or college Parent Guide is now on offer at over 95 campuses nation-wide. This guide will possibly not have been accessible when my parents needed it, but it is right now! We hope you locate it handy.
When my very own son must have been a young guy, he talked often pertaining to going to Harvard. Where they got in which notion in his head, I'm going never know. ?t had been so embedded, that he sought a Harvard sweatshirt. Comical thing… the daughter is still equipped with that sweatshirt today and has grown extremely fond of this.
Did my very own son go to Harvard? Number He chosen to get to join the very Marines and attend faculty later on often the GI Invoice. Perhaps some wiser even more logical decision in the lavish scheme for things. But… I've quite often wondered whether or not the cost of these Ivy Local league colleges will be worth the education you will enjoy.
A recent write-up from Unigo/WSJ on Campus explored in which question comprehensive. It discovered the current economic crisis, the state of colleges, and the general thought process for making those institution decisions. This content begins by just stating:
Old desires for adult young children earning certifications from elite, door-opening universities or 'legacy' schools gone to by relatives are going down away in most families, in support of a new pragmatism. Other fathers and mothers and college students are a new tougher cost-benefit analysis in the true associated with a pricey undergraduate degree. Because parents wrestle privately together with such emotional issues, lots of say these people wish they'd begun numerous years earlier to assess their valuations and concerns, long before their own children's college-decision deadline seemed to be upon these.
That's ALWAYS been my doctrine: START EARLY . Research before you buy and learn with regards to the college's school funding footprint. Perform benefit-cost analysis and weigh up ALL of your options prior to making that sound decision.
The overall strengthen of the guide is that parents and college-bound teens are generally opting for cardiovascular disease logical faculty choices the fact that keep them in close proximity to home and be sure they move on without consumer debt.
But , I would personally have to add an additional remark: find that 'perfect fit' school. It's not within the rank, possibly the prestige, or perhaps completely concerning cost. It can about receiving a place just where your teen feels at home and is also valued. Plus discounting Harvard, https://onlinecustomessays.com/business-writing/ or any Ivy League higher education because of the price might not be the most beneficial advice. A good admissions marketing consultancy offers these tips:
Depending on the financial aid bundle offered, the out-of-pocket cost of attending a personal college is often lower than that a general population university. Within a simplistic illustration, a $25, 000 charge at a state college is reduced to be able to $20, 000 with $5, 000 of financial aid, but a private esplendido arts university with a car or truck of 50 dollars, 000 would definitely cost $15, 000 if the financial aid package totaled $35, 000, allowing it to be cheaper versus the state college. Of course , educational funding is more complex than this, but non-public colleges utilizing strong endowments often present generous virtue and need-based scholarships. Finally, award presents must be considered against oneself carefully, making an allowance for whether the give is made up of fiscal (which is required to be paid back) or grants/scholarships (which do not get paid back). The bottom line? Research the possibility of grants before eradicating a college out of your list due to the fact it sounds to cover.

Bargain Kindle Book: Chasing Darkness by Danielle Girard
The most dangerous place to hide is in the dark...
A tough special-agent with the Department of Justice, and a dedicated single mother to her orphaned nephews, Samantha Chase is unbreakable. Until two women, both from the shadows of Sam's past, are discovered strangled. For Sam, the most unnerving detail is the eucalyptus branch tucked behind the victims' ears—the signature of a notorious serial murder already convicted and executed for his crimes.
To detective Nick Thomas, the only link to the copycat killings is Sam herself. And when she becomes the target of threats—each one more menacing than the last—his feelings for her just might jeopardize the case. But to understand the killer's twisted motive is to explore Sam's past—and a crime she's spent a lifetime trying to bury...

I didn't know this until recently, but Kyoto is the former imperial capital of Japan (794-1868). Having been the country's capital and the emperor's home for more than 1,000 years, it is home to many important temples and shrines.
Our day in Kyoto was quite the adventure! Mainly trying to figure out which buses to take — it's a fairly big city, roughly 1.5 million people, and the temples are spread out all over the city — but Will did a great job getting us where we needed to go. (Starting at the main bus depot at Kyoto Station, across from Kyoto Tower Hotel, which you can see below.)
Train ride from Osaka to Kyoto, not bad at all.
First, we visited the Kinkaku-ji Temple (aka Rokuon-ji Temple), a Zen Buddhist temple, to see the dazzling Golden Pavilion. Once you get over the hundreds of (let's be honest) Asian tourists pushing you and getting in the way, you're able to appreciate just how cool this place looks, and possibly take a selfie without someone's bald spot getting in the way. It's made with gold foil on lacquer, features a phoenix atop the roof, and inside houses relics of Buddha. You can't go inside, FYI.
The rest of the temple grounds are nice. It'd be much more relaxing to stroll through without the crowds, and that day there were all these tent booths set up festival-style inside the temple selling tourists all kinds of crap. It almost felt sacrilegious. Oh well. That's tourism.
We grabbed some ramen nearby and walked a couple miles to the Ryoan-ji Temple, known for Japan's most famous rock garden. Made of 15 rocks, gravel, sand, and low earthen walls, the dry-landscape garden is by said by some to be "the highest expression of Zen art and teachings and perhaps the single greatest masterpiece of Japanese culture," according to this site. Thankfully, this temple was much less crowded and more enjoyable.
We left the Ryoan-ji and we went on a short walk to catch a train to get us to the bus we needed… you get the idea. But I loved this little walk. It took us through quiet residential areas, and even the local train station and the train itself were cute.
Next, we took the bus to the popular Gion area and dropped by the Yasaka-jinja Shrine. It was ok. There seemed to be another festival or something going on, as there were many vendor booths on the shrine grounds….we didn't linger.
Evening was starting to set in, and we really wanted to see the next temple before it got dark. As you'll see in the pics, we barely made it! The Kiyomizu-dera Temple is just breathtaking. It sits on the hillside, and if you think the colorful entry gate and the three-story pagoda you see upon your arrival are cool, wait until you go inside! The main hall is a huge, wooden structure that juts out 13 meters above the hillside. It offers great views of the temple grounds and especially of the city. We were there right at sunset and got to see the incredible nighttime views. By the way, there's a cute little village near this temple that was lovely to walk through. It's very touristy with tons of souvenir shops, but it was still cute.
We ended our day in Kyoto enjoying some yakitori at a restaurant called Torisee. Pretty good. On our way to dinner, we came across a street performer playing the shamisen, which was fun. Here's a short video below.
Who am I kidding? I can't keep these posts "short," sigh.
Overall, I really liked Kyoto. Probably my favorite place we visited on this trip. Lots to see, not enough time, and worth another trip. More photos of our day in Kyoto here.
Up next: Nara's temples…and wild animals. Huh? Stay tuned.

Election Day is Tuesday, and although many have already taken advantage of early voting opportunities, a lot of voters still are expected to cast their votes in person that day.
Voting and civil rights advocates are reminding the public that even if someone already is registered, it is possible to run into problems at the polls. This can happen, for example, when someone thinks she or he is registered to vote but actually is not. A national nonprofit has a website where you can check your status, if want to know ahead of time.
But let's say you do get to your polling place and actually aren't registered. Or you show up but aren't on the list of those registered in the precinct. Maybe you get there, and your voting status is otherwise challenged by election judges.
"Most of the problems that people call in about are fixable," said Ami Gandhi, director of the Voting Rights Project at the Chicago Lawyers' Committee for Civil Rights.
But if you do have a problem, "speak up rather than leave," she said, because in each of these instances, you can still vote. "Stay in your spot, and stay where you are."
Illinois is one of a minority of states that offers same-day, or grace-period, registration, for those not registered by Nov. 6. Same-day registrants can cast a ballot the same as anyone registered earlier, and those whose status is questioned can cast a provisional ballot, which is set aside and only counted if a voter is later found eligible to vote.
"Ask for a provisional ballot, and how to check that it's been counted," said Myrna Perez, director of voter rights and elections at the Brennan Center for Justice.
"Each provisional voter should be provided written instructions on how to follow up after Election Day," according to the Illinois State Board of Elections.
A provisional ballot is additionally useful because it provides a record that some voters did encounter issues voting, Gandhi and Perez said.
It's also important to know that you can get help on Election Day, either in person or through "election protection" hotlines, like 866-OUR-VOTE — 866-687-8683 — staffed by a multilingual, nonpartisan coalition that works through the year to secure equal access to voting.
Latest Elections
People "should know they should go out and vote," Perez said. "This is how we make our voices count."

These are the most common replacements…..
- Agar-agar. How to use it: Agar needs to be heated to dissolve properly. The powdered form of agar is easiest to measure and use. 1 teaspoon gelatin = 1 teaspoon agar powder (this will set 1 cup of liquid).
Carrageenan, Carrageen, or Irish Moss.
How to use it: To use the carrageen in its dried seaweed form (look for whole, not powdered), rinse it well, soak it in water for about 12 hours until it swells, then boil it thoroughly with the liquid you want to set before you strain it out.
- To set 1 cup of liquid, use 1 ounce dried carrageen
Vegan Jel
How to use it: Beat this powder into cold water until dissolved.
1 teaspoon gelatin = 1 1/2 teaspoons Vegan Jel
- 1 cup Grape juice (or other fruit juice)
- 1 cup Water
- 1/4 cup Sugar
- 1/2 tsp. Agar-Agar powder (gelatin replacement)
- Stir ingredients in a small saucepan over medium high heat.
- Bring to a boil for 2 minutes.
- Pour into jello mold or small cups.
- Set in the fridge for 2-3 hours.
- Cut and Serve.

Using your business name in a block font just below your embroidered logo doesn't say much about your business other than the fact that you provide a basic service. But, choosing a particular font in the right size, thickness, spacing and placement describes more about your individual business and the unique services you provide. Even though you may not be involved in a "creative" business, if you don't distinguish yourself from your competitors how will you effectively compete against them?
The choice is yours. The logo on your embroidered shirts will be seen wherever you go. With it you have the chance to gain the interest and possibly the business of new customers. Do you think a logo that is unique and memorable is more likely to help you acquire new business?
So, pass on the unedited clipart images and the basic block font. Instead, spend time thinking about how you can develop a unique presence that identifies your business and how you serve your customers!

Nabi Magnetics: Wine
(sorry I messed up my pinkie)
I also got the colors Black and Dark Wine in the same package. After doing some research, I found that they are available at Walgreens too. So, I started stalking the local stores, I finally found one with a display. Today I picked up Dark Gold, Dark Purple and Black Berry. I can't wait to show you all these awesome colors, but in the meantime, here are bottle shots.
Thanks for looking!

WOOOW, that is a GORGEOUS red magnetic, I promised myself not so many days ago: - no more holo's or magnetics, but I just might have to change that statement....ReplyDelete
I hate to be a pusher, but do it! There's no other magnetic color out there like this and once the magnetic fad is gone, you probably won't get another chance at it :) I adore this color!!! Walnut is pretty close to it too, but a bit darker.ReplyDelete
Oops, I meant Black Berry is a close color to it. There was another color called Walnut, but I don't remember what shade it was. The name just stuck in my head! LOL.ReplyDelete
This color is fabulous and looks great on you!ReplyDelete
You ARE a pusher, and I love my polish pushers ;) - I'm already on Ebay trying to figure out what other colors to buy, so thanks for the heads up on Black Berry. There is one simply called 12 Red, too, do you know that one???ReplyDelete
Red actually didn't impress me in person. It's lighter and brighter than Wine....but I prefer my reds vampier....let me know which ones you choose!!ReplyDeleteReplies
OK, thank you, I - who actually said out loud yesterday with at least two people hearing it: - I'm NOT going to buy more magnetics - bought 3. It was 6 Wine, 22 Teal and 15 Sky Blue. I kind of need to blame you, at least to myself hahahaha :)Delete

The other day I caught myself giving a lengthy speech about the importance of kids doing their chores and respecting their parents. Unfortunately, the speech was not to a group of people at a Love and Logic event. It was to my seven-year-old son in response to his eye-rolling and huffing about having to clean up after the dog.
I used to be a parenting expert. That is…until I had kids.

Wyoming High School Girls Basketball Rankings: Feb. 26, 2015
A few late-season fireworks highlight the schedule of the last week of the regular season for 4A and 3A, according to the latest coaches and media ranks.
A huge battle is schedule for Friday night as unanimous #1 Sheridan hosts unanimous #2 Gillette. These 2 teams went OT at Gillette, 3 weeks ago, with the Lady Broncs coming out on top. The rematch though either just got more interesting or had some thunder taken out, when the Sheridan Press reported that junior Robbi Ryan will not play in the upcoming rematch. All of the 4A rankings are the same as they have been the past few weeks, with East at #3, followed by Natrona and Central.
Rawlins still rules the roost in 3A, and hosts the East regional tournament next week, so everything is on their side. Powell moves up to #2, after then #2, now #4 Lovell took a tumble last week. The Lady Bulldogs are hoping to get that spot back, when they visit the Lady Panthers this weekend. Elsewhere Douglas moves up 1 to #3 and Star Valley holds at #5.
For 2A and 1A, these are the final polls, now that it's post-season time.
Southeast finishes the regular season as the unanimous #1 team in 2A. The Lady Cyclones are the only undefeated team in the state and should face some very tough competition at the regional tournament. Joining them is #4 Pine Bluffs, and #5 Burns, and you can't count out unranked and 2-time defending state champ Tongue River either. In the west, #2 Lyman and #3 Thermopolis are on opposite sides of the bracket. They may face each other in the regional finals.
No change at all in the final 1A rankings. Cokeville is the unanimous #1, followed by Little Snake River, who was 1 vote better than #3 Upton. St. Stephens is still #4 and has one of the best scoring offenses in the state, but the regional tournament will determine just how good they really are, because they will probably have to go through both LSR and Cokeville, if they want the West #1 seed at the state tournament. Meanwhile, #5 and defending champ Lingle-Ft. Laramie could give Upton a challenge at the East regional tournament...if the 2 teams hook up.
Disclaimer: The polls have no official say or use on post-season positioning, and are only to be used as a measuring stick on the regular season. Please don't read too much into the rankings.

The Great Migrations Application Development System (gmADS), formerly known as PROMULA, is a tool for building high-performance data management and modeling systems using our unique array management technology.
gmADS is a general-purpose, high-level programming language with built-in data management, modeling, report generation, graphics, and screen management (menus and windows) capabilities. It is the ideal development tool for those who have outgrown the spreadsheets but do not want to develop applications in a third generation programming language (such as FORTRAN, PASCAL, BASIC, or C). Though its intellectual history goes back to the late '60's on mainframes, PROMULA was originally developed on PCs in the early 80's as a high-level generalization of FORTRAN designed to take explicit advantage of the FORTRAN data structure (multidimensional arrays of primarily numeric, homogeneous data). It is a portable C program and offers the same character-based functionality on a number of platforms: PC DOS and DOS Extended, 386/486 UNIX, RS/6000 AIX, VAX/VMS, and Apple Macintosh. As an application development tool, PROMULA supports the following functions:

It is important to know the difference between inpatient vs outpatient treatment. Inpatient drug rehab involves addicts remaining at a substance addiction treatment center 24 hours a day for up to 90 days. Outpatient drug rehab allows the person to remain at home while receiving treatment. However, those participating in outpatient drug rehab must visit the addiction treatment center daily, every other day or several times a week, depending on the severity of their addiction.
Good candidates for outpatient drug rehab programs are those who have never been in rehab and relapsed, are currently employed or in school and have a strong family support system they can depend on for achieving recovery goals.
The biggest difference between outpatient and inpatient drug rehab is the fact that outpatient rehab participants are not kept sequestered from the environment or people that encouraged their addiction. They must attend counseling sessions, group therapy and take any medications prescribed without the constant supervision provided by inpatient rehab.
Outpatient drug and alcohol rehab therapists counsel substance abusers about the following subjects:
- Addiction as a biopsychosocial disease, not a chosen lifestyle
- How drugs effect the body and brain
- Identifying "trigger" situations that could lead to relapse
- Using stress management techniques to take control of potential "trigger" situations
- Setting goals and structuring time productively
- Learning relaxation strategies to avoid feeling angry or upset, two emotions strongly associated with relapse
In addition to psychotherapy and addiction counseling, outpatient participants are frequently prescribed medications to alleviate detoxification symptoms and regulate abnormal neurotransmitter levels in the brain. Psychiatrists prescribing these medications will continuously monitor the patient's response to medications by ordering blood tests, thyroid and kidney tests and medical imaging evaluations to ensure their recovery is not being adversely affected by anti-addiction medications.
What to Expect
Inpatient rehab takes place in residential treatment centers equipped with single living units, cafeteria, indoor and outdoor recreational areas and a medical facility designed to accommodate detoxifying patients.When you enter an inpatient facility, your stay may be as short as 28 days or as long as four months. Repeat drug relapsers and chronic alcoholics benefit the most from inpatient rehab stays.
Psychiatric Services
Many patients are committed to inpatient rehab while in highly agitated states that require emergency psychiatric services. These services provide immediate help to patients who are experiencing suicidal ideation, psychotic episodes or violent behavioral changes due to severe drug abuse. Once a patient is stabilized following emergency psychiatric services, they can be transferred to an area within an inpatient rehab center that provides additional medical and psychological services.
Mental Illness
Inpatient rehab addiction psychiatrists specialize in determining whether an addict warrants a diagnosis of substance abuse and a mental illness. Psychiatric symptoms frequently affect inpatient rehab clients who are detoxing from drugs or alcohol, such as delusions, hallucinations and severe depression.Receiving an accurate diagnosis by addiction psychiatrists is vital to developing personalized treatment programs for inpatient rehab participants.
Psychotherapy and Counseling
Beginning with medical detoxification, inpatient treatment programs generally consist of:
- Individual behavioral/psychotherapy counseling
- Group therapy sessions
- Anti-addiction medications to reduce cravings for alcohol and/or drugs
- Mental health services (nearly eight million people suffer from addiction and one or more psychological disorders)
- Long-term support services for preventing relapse following completion of inpatient rehab treatment
Inpatient rehab facilities also over a variety of experiential and holistic services such as art therapy, equine therapy, Eco-therapy and spiritual counseling to reinforce the effectiveness of counseling and psychotherapies.

Recognizing Postpartum Depression

So I've noticed recently that famed items have been appearing quite often after mat runs, in the skull loot chests myself and my guild members have been getting. Whether it be because of treasure sense or not, we are getting upwards of three or four skull chests per run. When we dock at least two members of the crew end up receiving famed weapons or even Lost Sword. Maybe its just a coincidence from monday and tuesday, but I want to believe something is changing about sailing loot because that many famed in two nights is note-worthy in my opinion. Anyone else hitting the jackpot with sail loot recently?

Retirement. Cruising in the Greek Islands? Taking the grandkids on holiday? Going out to that world famous restaurant? Having THAT round of golf? Can't wait? Me neither. A secure retirement, yes please. Money to have fun with when all the hard work has been done? Absolutely.
So getting your 401k kicking in all the right places today will give you a life that you deserve in retirement. Decisions that you make now (or, gulp, have already made) could cost you tens even hundreds of thousands of dollars in your golden years.
Let's get down to it; 13 tips you really, really should think about when it comes to your 401k account. Otherwise known as the ULTIMATE GUIDE TO GETTING MORE FROM YOUR 401K PLAN !
Tip 1
Free money!
Got your attention? Thought so. When you hear the words "matching contributions" from your employer, prick your ears up, it is, literally, free money. And you should get as much of it as you possibly can. Picture that palm fringed beach, the cocktail and the lounger, this could make the difference, so remember …
Every company is different, but most–if not all–will match your contributions. Ask. Find out what your company's program is and find out how to maximize it. For example, many employers will match the first 4-6% of your 401k contributions, so that is a good place to start.
Tip 2
Know thy fees.
When looking at your investment options–typically mutual funds–keep a close eye on the fund's expense ratio. This is a fee that every mutual fund charges you (the investor), and it's expressed as a percentage of the amount you have in the fund. For example,1 Fidelity Contrafund (FCNTX)–a popular fund that makes an appearance in many 401k plans–has an expense ratio of 0.64%. If an investor has $100,000 in that fund, it will cost them $640 annually.
Now just think, $640 annually, for 25 years, taken away from your personal nest egg (the nerve!). You may think it's just $640 * 25 years, which is $16,000. But it's actually much, much worse. Money lost to fees is gone forever and can't enjoy the power of compounding.
What is the true cost? Assuming a 7% return, it's actually a little more than $80,000 difference in end wealth (that is, you'd have $80,000 more money at the end of 25 years by not paying 0.64% in fund fees every year).
For a handy article we wrote with tips on how to very easily find a fund's expense ratio.
1 We are not recommending this fund. This fund is only highlighted as a real world example of mutual fund expense ratios.
Tip 3
Make sure that you rebalance.
First question. What is rebalancing?
Rebalancing involves making sure that your portfolio stays lined up with your target asset mix. Different asset classes have different risk / reward profiles so you want make sure your portfolio mix matches your goal and risk profile. Rebalancing is a fundamental aspect of long-term investing.
Say your target asset mix is 60% stocks, 30% bonds and 10% cash. Once a year you should sell just enough of the funds that grow fastest (lately, stocks)— and add enough to the laggards (cash and bonds)—to restore your target mix. This strategy means you buy low and sell high over time while maintaining the target risk profile for your portfolio.
For example, two years ago, stocks rose 32% and bonds fell 9%. The prudent move would have been to sell some stocks and buy some bonds. You would have benefited from the bond market's rally last year. Stocks also rose last year by 13.7%. Without rebalancing, you will end up with more exposure to stocks that you intended.
A recent study by Aon Hewitt found only 15% of 401(k) savers did any sort of rebalancing last year. This is one of the lowest rates on record. Some 401k plans have a feature called "automatic rebalancing." If your plan offers this then sign up. Your 401k will then be automatically rebalanced on a schedule to maintain your target investment allocation. Easy.
Tip 4
Your 401k is actually for your retirement.
However tempting it is to use the money that apparently is just sitting there to buy that new car, or to put that extension on your house …don't. This is money that you will need in the future. Not only that, withdrawing $10,000 today might mean $100,000 (or more) less for your retirement. Think long and hard before you touch this nest egg.
Have a look at this cool little retirement calculator from MarketWatch which looks at your age/income/retirement age to see how much you will REALLY have … simple and brutally effective
Tip 5
What. Is. Vesting?
Something you should know about especially if you like to move about and change jobs. Basically a company vesting schedule is how long you have to work for them before you can claim the full amount the company matches. So before you decide … should I stay or should I go, make sure you do the math, and make an educated decision.
Tip 6
What is a Roth 401k ?
We are talking about tax here. Stick with a 401k and you get the tax benefits immediately. That is, your 401k contributions are made with pre-tax money. BUT the tax man always cometh. When you retire and take 401k plan withdrawals, it will be taxed at your ordinary income tax rate, which can be rather lofty as you move up the income ladder.
Alternatively, with a Roth 401k plan, you can pay the taxes up front and then take your withdrawals tax-free in retirement. Whether you pay taxes now or later depends on a number of factors, including your earnings potential, age, and your assumptions for future tax rates. That new Audi in retirement is a reality if you ask your personal advisor to help you to optimise for your personal situation.
Tip 7
Do the research.
How much time do you spend figuring out what new phone to buy? Or which resort to stay in on vacation, or for that matter, the best flights to get you there. If you are anything like me, plenty.
So why on earth do we not spend the same amount of time researching how we can have enough money to do the same things — but in our retirement?
Be wary of Target-date funds. They are popular because they are easy and have a "set it and forget it" strategy. However, these funds take a one-size-fits-all funds approach which may not be the best route for your personal situation.
A great place to start your research is Morningstar. They offer lots of useful tools, calculators and articles to learn more about your investment options.
Tip 8
Good Advice will pay for itself in spades.
Good advice early on–well before retirement–can really make a big difference over the long-haul. For example, choosing inexpensive index funds instead of actively managed funds in your 401k can save you around 1% a year in fees. Understanding the amount of risk in your 401k portfolio is also valuable–too much risk and your emotions may get the best of you during a market correction, too many ultra-safe assets (too little risk) and you may not reach your retirement goals.
Nearly half of all employers offer free in house advice, so if you can, use that. If not find yourself a good financial adviser who understands you, your risk levels and your goals.
Tip 9
Suddenly realized that you won't have enough money for your retirement? It's not too late.
If it looks like you might not be able to afford that holiday home retirement gift to yourself, you can do something about it. Check out the catch up provision once you hit 50. This means that on top of the max $18,000 you can pay an additional $6,000 annually. Over 10 years that is $60,000, can you picture that lake front cabin now? Stash that cash.
Tip 10
Stay Informed.
Your 401k is not something to sign up for and forget. HR will keep you informed about any important changes, so best thing is to read those emails. Investment options can and do change (typically too often, in our opinion), so be sure to re-evaluate any new options that are offered. On the flip side, some investment options get removed, and you need to be sure the fund that is replaced still makes sense for your overall investment objectives (typically, you will be "automatically mapped" to the new fund, which may or may not make sense for you).
Tip 11
Changing jobs? Don't cash out.
Cashing out when you change jobs is like using 401k as temporary savings fund. Which it isn't. $14,000 today could be worth more than $150,000 in your retirement fund in 30 years. So find somewhere else to get that $14k!
Check out what the damage is for that early cash out on either of these two calculators – Money Zine and WellsFargo.
Tip 12
Roll with it.
Got a new job? That new gig may be exciting and lots to learn, but don't forget about your old 401k. You worked hard to grow it, don't abandon it.
Roll your old 401k into an IRA account, where you can have much more control over your investment choices. With the typical time spent at a job hovering under 5 years these days, chances are it won't be your last 401k rollover to an IRA. You can keep pooling them into the same IRA account, which makes managing the investments easier.
If someone tells you that you have to cash out when you change jobs … you don't and don't even think about it. It could incur costly penalties and taxes. Remember, it IS your choice, you can leave your investments in your former employer's plan or not, it is entirely up to you. More on this in our next tip ….
Tip 13
Or don't roll with it.
As usual there are two sides to every story, and of course you always need to think these things through. If you are happy with your former employer's investment choices in the 401k plan, or they offer access to funds that are unavailable to you outside your 401k, then it may make sense to leave it there. For example, due to their sizable overall assets, many 401k plans have access to "institutional share class" mutual funds, which have much lower expense ratios (see Tip 2 above)–sometimes half the cost of their retail counterparts. Moreover, many 401k plans offer mutual funds from Dimensional Fund Advisors (DFA), which are top-notch funds that are not available to retail investors.
SO. In a nutshell, what are we saying?
- Nurture your retirement fund
- Look closely at investment fund expense ratios
- Don't forget about your 401k plan, don't cash it in, consider tax
- Think about your 401k when you are changing jobs

Most students on campus have no opinion on how President Christina Paxson is handling her job in her first year, according to a Herald poll conducted earlier this semester. Of the students polled, 69.3 percent had no opinion, 17.5 percent somewhat approve, 10.9 percent strongly approve, and 2.3 percent either somewhat disapprove or strongly disapprove.
More females than males indicated they approve of how Paxson has been handling her job – 31 percent versus 26 percent, respectively. Four percent of males disapproved of Paxson in some capacity, while less than 1 percent of females did.
Most students interviewed said they do not know enough about Paxson to assess her performance. Since Paxson has not yet executed any major initiatives, students' judgments seem to be based mostly on first impressions.
Students cannot judge Paxson at this point in time, said Jonathan Sit '15. "I haven't seen her do much yet," he said.
Kevin Carty '15, a Herald opinions columnist, said he could not yet pass judgment on Paxson. Though he has a positive view of former president Ruth Simmons, "everything I know about her is retroactive and came over the course of a decade," he said.
Tim Schlenger '16 said he does not know much about the president beyond some positive comments he heard from others. Paxson is an established face on campus, said Will Adams '16. "I recognize her when I see her," he said. Beyond that, he said he has no particular feelings toward her.
Paxson is qualified and intellectual as well as popular, said Michael Alim '12.5. But "compared to Ruth, the enthusiasm is much more muted," he said. He attributes this neutrality to students feeling that "the president isn't a primary concern."
Elizabeth Goodspeed '16, a sophomore in the Brown/Rhode Island School of Design dual degree program, said that she thinks positive opinions toward Simmons arose partly from personal events like dinners with the president. At this point in time, students do not have a sense of Paxson's personality, she added.
"I'd love to know more about her, and I know she will do well," Goodspeed said.
Zach Rufa '14 said he has a positive opinion of Paxson based on his first impression of her. Rufa, a theater and literary arts concentrator, saw Paxson at a Theater Cabaret event.
"It was heartening to see and hear that she is a supporter of the arts and theater," he said. Interactions like these form students' opinions, he said. Though Rufa knows Simmons was a popular president, it is difficult for students to identify policies attributed to her, he said.
Lisa Cheung '13 said she is indifferent toward Paxson. But she said she would have preferred Simmons to remain at Brown a bit longer, since Simmons was the president during her first three years at Brown. "It's disappointing to know she won't be graduating with me," Cheung said.
Administrators and professors felt that students' neutral attitudes are to be expected at the beginning of a president's term but will likely trend toward the positive over time.
Chancellor Emeritus Artemis Joukowsky '55 P'87, who has worked with five University presidents, said that neutral attitudes are to be expected in the student body right now. But he predicted that attitudes would shift since Paxson is "an open-minded and thoughtful person" who is "a perfect sequel to Ruth Simmons." Paxson is a good listener who "asks the right questions," he said. "I have in a short period learned to respect her, admire her," he added.
There will be a lag time during which students form opinions of the president, said Janet Cooper-Nelson, University chaplain. "I expect it will take a bit of time for students to be involved in projects that the president is doing," she said. The poll's results are "an indication of the time it takes for a student to form an opinion," she said. In the meantime, initial reactions from students are based on how well-known a figure is when arriving on campus and are usually "not based on real experience of the person," she said.
When students do interact with the president, they "will come away from those associations … enormously impressed" despite this being a "slower, quieter process," Cooper-Nelson said.
It is not possible to directly compare the early stages of Simmons' and Paxson's presidencies, Cooper-Nelson said.
"Ruth came at a time when the University was at greater risk," Cooper-Nelson said.
Written questionnaires were administered to 959 undergraduates Oct. 17-18 in the lobby of J. Walter Wilson and the Stephen Robert '62 Campus Center during the day and the Sciences Library at night. The poll has a 2.9 percent margin of error with 95 percent confidence. The margin of error is 4.4 percent for the subset of males and 3.9 percent for females.

"Fashion people and celebrities feel liberated here," said Izak Senbahar, the owner of the Mark hotel, as attendees of the annual Costume Institute Gala mingled in his lobby on Monday afternoon. "They feel like they can be themselves."
Mr. Senbahar appeared to be correct. On one side of the room, Usher cracked jokes with his entourage and greeted industry insiders. Near the front door, Uma Thurman blew kisses to friends and acquaintances as they passed by. In a quiet corner, Bill Nighy pored over a script.
Even the few noncelebrity guests who had managed to secure reservations at the Mark on gala day seemed comfortable; in the middle of the lobby, a Japanese tourist had fallen asleep in an orange chair designed by Paul Mathieu.
Although the Mark is not officially affiliated with the Met Gala, in recent years it has become the preferred accommodation for many of the event's high-profile celebrities — including the Vogue editor Anna Wintour, who reserves one of its largest suites — as its location on East 77th Street and its proximity to the Metropolitan Museum of Art make it a practical option.
On Monday, the crowd ebbed and flowed throughout the afternoon as guests excused themselves to go upstairs and get dressed. A little after 3:30 p.m., André Leon Talley, Vogue's former editor at large, appeared. He was wearing a Ralph Lauren Purple Label suit and seemed flustered.
"Where is my coat?" he asked no one in particular. "I don't know where they've put it." Mr. Talley sat down on a banquette, exasperated.
The costume designer Catherine Martin and her husband, the film director Baz Luhrmann, pulled up outside around 4.
"We live downtown, but we stay here every year for the gala," Mr. Luhrmann explained as they walked inside. "The staff is very good at handling all this," he said, gesturing to the fans and photographers gathered by the entrance.
The rapper and actor Common entered wearing a light-blue denim shirt, sweatpants and sneakers. He paused by the banquettes to say hello to Mr. Talley.
"You'd better get upstairs and change," Mr. Talley said, tapping an imaginary watch on his wrist, and Common winked at him.
Finally, two men emerged from an office adjacent to the lobby carrying Mr. Talley's coat, a red-silk couture number by Tom Ford. Mr. Talley was visibly relieved.
"I'm going up to Anna's room now," he said.
About 5:30, fully dressed guests began making their way out front to waiting cars. Ms. Wintour and the Chinese actress Gong Li were early departures. Mario Testino, the fashion photographer, was on hand, taking casual shots for Vogue.
"It's such an honor to be snapped by you," the actress Kerry Washington said as Mr. Testino trained his lens on her.
The English model Jourdan Dunn and the singer-songwriter James Bay paused in the lobby as members of their styling team took photos of the pair on iPhones. Ms. Dunn, a regular visitor to the hotel, said that she had been cocooned in her room for hours.
Did she have a favorite item from the room service menu?
"I like the Champagne," she said dryly, then refocused her attention on Mr. Bay while an assistant used a cigarette lighter to fuse her waxed and braided hair into uniform strands.
Standing nearby, the actress Hailee Steinfeld overheard the conversation.
"I've ordered everything off the kids' menu," she told Ms. Dunn.
Karen Elson, the model and musician, was one of the few guests to enter the lobby via the stairs. Her Dolce & Gabbana dress consisted of a figure-hugging, gold-plated corset and an exceptionally long red tulle train that may not have fit inside the Mark's elevators.
A friend asked Ms. Elson if she felt weighed down. "I do, but I can breathe — just," she said.
"It's real gold," she went on, gesturing to the corset, "so the metal expands."
The hotel's executive chef, Jean-Georges Vongerichten, appeared briefly, smartphone in hand.
"I would never miss the departures," he said. "Everyone is at their best."
Mr. Vongerichten was in a philosophical mood.
"I think food and fashion are very similar," he said. "They're both about layers and colors."
Then he grinned. "I'm a fashionista at heart," he said.
By 7, most of the high-profile guests had left. A young publicist who was attending the gala for the first time asked Mr. Senbahar if he had any advice for the night ahead.
"Take a Xanax," he told her.
The publicist paused. Around her, the staff had begun rearranging furniture for the Michael Kors after-party. A young man carried a pot of tea to the concierge's desk.
"Maybe I could just stay here instead," she said.

After a week of being sick and nights of no sleep, I had firmly resolved not to go to church this morning despite some mild congestion, which would have been no big deal. I really wanted just to sleep. So, still wanting to keep the Sabbath day holy, I set myself up in the recliner with The Life of Jesus Christ Bible Videos queued up in the DVD player. I turned on my favorite segment called I am the Bread of Life, which is taken from a section of scripture in John 6.
The Savior taught his disciples some doctrine that was difficult for them to understand. "Many therefore of his disciples, when they had heard this, said, This is an hard saying; who can hear it?"
The Savior's teachings were so incomprehensible to some that "from that time many of his disciples went back, and walked no more with him.
Then said Jesus unto the twelve, Will ye also go away?
Then Simon Peter answered him, Lord, to whom shall we go? thou hast the words of eternal life."
The Spirit hit me powerfully with Peter's words. "Thou hast the words of eternal life."
In light of the recent events and new policies and the uproar in the LDS faith, I had my answer. Even though I didn't question the brethren's decision, I still prayed for the confirmation of the Spirit that this was correct, that this was doctrine from our Father in Heaven.
"Thou hast the words of eternal life" Where else would I go? Nowhere. Not ever.
With this confirmation, I rolled myself out of the recliner and dressed for church. No tired exhausted body would keep me from filling my cup today.
And boy did it run over.
Every single lesson and talk and comment strengthened my testimony and imbued in me a desire to want to do better. To be better.
Sunday school's lesson was on obedience.
I thought, how timely. Many of our confused brothers and sisters need to hear this so they can fortify their testimonies. The brethren have declared something that is difficult for many to understand, so this stood out to me as a great example.
The Book of Mormon tells us that Nephi and his older brothers received a very difficult assignment from the Lord (see 1 Nephi 3:1–6). Nephi's brothers complained, saying that the Lord required a hard thing of them. But Nephi said, "I will go and do the things which the Lord hath commanded, for I know that the Lord giveth no commandments unto the children of men, save he shall prepare a way for them that they may accomplish the thing which he commandeth them" (1 Nephi 3:7). When we find it difficult to obey a commandment of the Lord, we should remember Nephi's words.
The scriptures tell us over and over again what we must do. That's why we should never put them down. I resolved in this moment to increase my gospel study and reading of the scriptures. How important it is to fill our minds with the truth of these words. How much confusion could slip away if we just turned to the Lord instead of complaining or outright exclaiming our vehemence! Make our matters, matters of prayer.
But my thoughts were, how great that we have a way prepared. How amazing that we have a Father in Heaven who will not leave us alone!
I must include the blessings of obedience.
The Lord counsels us, "If you keep my commandments and endure to the end you shall have eternal life, which gift is the greatest of all the gifts of God" (D&C 14:7).
The Lord has described other blessings that will come to those who obey Him in righteousness and truth until the end:
"Thus saith the Lord—I, the Lord, am merciful and gracious unto those who fear me, and delight to honor those who serve me in righteousness and in truth unto the end.
"Great shall be their reward and eternal shall be their glory.
"And to them will I reveal all mysteries, yea, all the hidden mysteries of my kingdom from days of old, and for ages to come, will I make known unto them the good pleasure of my will concerning all things pertaining to my kingdom.
"Yea, even the wonders of eternity shall they know, and things to come will I show them, even the things of many generations.
"And their wisdom shall be great, and their understanding reach to heaven. …
"For by my Spirit will I enlighten them, and by my power will I make known unto them the secrets of my will—yea, even those things which eye has not seen, nor ear heard, nor yet entered into the heart of man" (D&C 76:5–10).
I'll repeat what Peter said, "Thou hast the words of eternal life."
Now I must comment on the Women's Sunday School class. The topic was pride, from a famous talk by President Ezra Taft Benson.
We talked about ways to overcome pride. Humility is the antidote to pride. We can be humble by doing service, loving others as Christ loves them, and showing gratitude. They all go hand in hand. The Savior is our perfect example of these things.
Every night when I go to bed, I fall to my knees and thank my Father in Heaven for my many blessings. I do this because I love him. I do this because I recognize his hand in all things. I serve my family and others because I love them. My Savior is my foundation, my motivation. He is who I build my faith on.
If we hold to this, our testimonies will remain strong.
I praised God the whole way home. I am so thankful for my solid foundation. The words of a radio song helped me raise my voice in gratitude.

"At The Cross"
There's a place where mercy reigns and never dies
There's a place where streams of grace flow deep and wide
Where all the love I've ever found
Comes like a flood
Comes flowing down
At the cross
At the cross
I surrender my life
I'm in awe of You
I'm in awe of You
Where Your love ran red
and my sin washed white
I owe all to You
I owe all to You Jesus
There's a place where sin and shame are powerless
Where my heart has peace with God and forgiveness
Where all the love I've ever found
Comes like a flood
Comes flowing down
Here my hope is found
Here on holy ground
Here I bow down
Here I bow down
Here arms open wide
Here You save my life
Here I bow down
Here I bow down
Truly I am in awe of my Savior. I owe all to Him.
So that's why I go to church every Sunday. To feast upon the words of eternal life.
