Memory Problems?
Anyone else out here having trouble with PTSD and memory issues? at a recent psychologist appointment it was noticed that my short-term memory is somewhat shot. But Im also having other issues with long term memories and some things that didnt exactly happen but I remember them clearly... I had thought that my high school principal had been killed by a drive by shooting, but recently I learned that was a false memory... People from church that I thought were dead are still there and suprisingly still alive. But the really disturbing memory distortion is when I remember doing something that I was supposed to do, but i didnt really do it. I remember things happening so vividly that i can remember painstaking details... but many times it never happened and I am caught short. I dont know which things in my mind I can trust and which things I should forget anymore. Im just looking to see if anyone else here has had similar issues. Am I alone?
Re: Memory Problems?
YES, YES, YESSS!!! Part of PTSD and any other anxiety situation clogs up so much memory we end up "forgetting" or mis-remembering. For me, it happens when I am overloaded and have forgotten to "dump" the toxic bucket of worry, or I have been triggered and now old memories are crowding out here and now. I find that it helps me to write down what's on my mind in my secret journal (actually it is a crypto-locked computer disk with password protected word file ... I type much faster than I can write.) Is it possible that with the holidays, family needs, work hastles, etc. you are just overloaded?
About a month ago (as I posted elsewhere here) I overturned my pick-up truck and trailer. I am again having nightmares, something I haven't had very often since 1999. I was trapped upside down in my truck fearing fire, feeling very helpless. Two really neat things happened: 1) I began giving orders to the bystander I could see out of the corner of my eye to get fire extringuishers in case the rig caught fire [good to know I still have a "command presence" under fire after all these years] and 2) almost immediately gave my situation totally to God. I did feel the Peace that passes understanding! He was merciful (again) and got me through with almost no residual effects, other than the fear my wife still exihibits and the nightmares. I think what has happened is I am overloaded. My response has been to cut back on some of my elective activities and make sure I am resting enough. Maybe it is time for me to do another round of EMDR therapy, too.
Most important for you: YOU ARE NOT ALONE! I think we all have had this situation reoccur from time to time. Look for what is loading you up, maybe try some journalling, try not to over-commit for the holidays with family tugging in all directions, don't stuff your emotions and keep praying. You and your family are in our prayers, too. I know for sure that God is standing by just off stage (or just over the horizon line), wanting you to find His strength and His Grace to rely upon. "Keep on keeping on" and He will see you through this challenge.
I have been "off line" too much so I may have missed your updates; are you still in prosthetics training?

Re: Memory Problems?
actually, no I am not still in prosthetics training. Thanks for asking though. I switched my major to Cyber-Information Security. Something about the prosthetics program with its 8 hour a day 5 day a week standing up all day in a shop environment kinda made me think about my legs. I just got out of the army last year and was forced to hurt my legs on a daily basis whether I wanted to or not... so I elected to give my body a rest. :)
Re: Memory Problems?
ReconSGT OIF,
I'm there with you brother! Sometimes my short term memory seems like it is getting better, then other times I have trouble even remembering what I was doing; I get up and walk to another room and by the time I get there I have no idea why I'm there, or sometimes I am driving into town and forget why I was going into town. Sometimes it has been so bad that I can't seem to function, especially when I am around a lot of people. I just freeze up, can't even carry on a conversation as I can't remember what they are talking about.
Sure doesn't impress the wife when I have forgotten what she sent me to town for!
When talking to my brother on the phone (he is 4 years older and I have not seen him face to face for 12 years), I can't remember things about our family or friends. He will mention an incident and the fact that I was there and I have no idea what he is talking about. It has got so bad that some of the extended family I have no real memory of them, or being told of their deaths, etc. I just can't seem to remember alot of my life. And some that I do remember "like yesterday" may not have happened like I remember them.
I have had major incidents mentioned by my brother that I have no memory of at all! It is truly frightening to me.
Then I start to feel guilty because I am afraid I have done something horrible, not remember the incident, and get caught and punished. Yes, I have real guilt issues! Most of them are unfounded, but I still have them. Sometimes I am afraid to leave the house, be near others, etc., because I no longer trust myself to make decisions. I guess my guilt issues of Nam have really escalated my guilt trips.
Most importantly, you are not alone! The more I find out about PTSD, the more I find out I need to gain more knowledge about it.
I finally got some work after one year off doing construction. The problem is that I am terrified of being out in public and screwing up! I really like the work, but am afraid my PTSD will surface at the wrong time and get me fired!
I am currently working on a Commercial building running the plumbing under the sub floor. Spending 8 hrs a day crawling around in the dark like a tunnel rat sure plays hob with my mind sometimes. Sure has brought back a lot of bad memories. I was never a tunnel rat, Thank The Lord! But the confinement, darkness, damp ground, hearing framer's nail guns going off all day sure trips some triggers for me!
All I can do is continue to pray, beg the Lord for forgiveness, and pray some more. I read the Bible alot and that has been a real comfort to me. Sometimes I just open the book and start reading where it falls open. You would be surprised how many times the Lord has guided my hand when opening the book to a passage that brings me comfort.
The best answer I have brother is (1) keep believeing in the Lord's word, (2) keep learning about PTSD and how it affects you, (3) when you get really stressed Stop and take a Jesus break as I call it and read the bible! (4) Know that you are not alone, not crazy, and NEVER believe you can't go on. We are here for you brother! If you can't catch me on the website due to time differences send me a PM and I will send you my phone number if you just need to talk. I will allways answer your messages/phone calls 24/7.
Re: Memory Problems?
Yes! This same problem with memory happens to me. Wish I could say something to help, but I find I have to write things down. Short term is worse but long term is also affected. Always made it double hard for me on the job before I became too disabled to work.
Sometimes I feel like I don't have a brain. I can't remember some of the names of places I was at in the Nam. I also can't remember the format or anything about coordinates in the Nam. It is so strange because that was my job, to follow NVA regiments around I Corps and "spy" on them. I also did radio direction finding shots on their transmitters, then passed the coordinates along for fire missions or arc lights. The mind is a terrible thing to lose. BUT

Whole-grain bread rolls
There are not many things that can beat the whole grain bread, unless it's 8 delicious little whole grain breadrolls ;-) These are perfect for breakfast, and you can easily prepare and bake them in one evening, for e.g. Sunday breakfast! :-)
My fool-proof recipe will be a great fun, and a good addition to your baking arsenal.
Coffee cake
My first real cake, made with delicious coffee-flavored buttercream. It was really good, and simple! Because this cake doesn't require leveling, you can simply bake two layers separately, then stack them — a perfect recipe for beginners! :-)
I made my cake with normal instant coffee, but you can also use decaf coffee for same taste, but caffeine-free cake! :-)
When you make your own pasta, you will always end up with some scraps, even more if you make ravioli. You can easily recycle this leftover pasta to make maltagliati, meaning "poorly cut" in Italian, which was traditionally meant as food for the poor. We are way past that, and today you can enjoy rich texture and amazing flavor of your pasta without the social stigma ;-)
Honey meat ravioli
This delicious meal is amazingly easy to prepare, as long as you have a pasta machine and ravioli tablet — it's a small grid in which you can prepare ravioli "like a sandwich", then roll out the ready ravioli using a rolling pin. Super easy, and with just very little effort you will end up having a luxurious feast!
Quick cream pie
Somehow I managed to hide mini chocolate muffins in my oven over the weekend and now I'm left with lots of chocolate cake crumbs. I decided to make a quick, and easy dessert, which doesn't look luxurious, but is really tasty, fast and easy to prepare in almost no time. Try on your own, you can use any kind of sweet baked cookies, cakes, etc., that crumbles easily.

The end of Konami's stealth-meets-shooting multiplayer offering is nigh. It never became an persistent online juggernaut like Halo or Call of Duty but it did manage to grab a dedicated core of players. And those people? They may not be dealing with it too well, if the picture above is any indication. Call it denial, call it a party, call it a chance to goof off while a gameworld ends.

New York shooting suspect has ties to Rochester, Dover
Kurt Myers died after standoff with police
A man who authorities said went on a rampage and shot six people in New York has lived and worked in New Hampshire a few years ago.
Kurt Myers, 64, died early Thursday morning after a 19-hour standoff with officers in Herkimer, N.Y. Officials said police officers shot and killed Myers, who was holed up in an abandoned building during the standoff.
"The gunman began to shoot at the tactical team, struck one of the K-9s, and fire was returned," said New York State Police Superintendent Joseph D'Amico.
Investigators said Myers walked into a barbershop Wednesday, and said, "Do you remember me?" before opening fire, killing two people and wounding two others. Officers said Myers shot and killed two more people at an oil change and car wash business.
Myers' former co-worker was shocked by the incident.
Steve Copperwheat first hired Myers in 1980s as a machine operator making industrial textiles in New York. Copperwheat said Myers' life changed when he moved to New Hampshire in 2006.
Copperwheat said Myers lived in Dover and worked at Northeastern Nonwovens in Rochester, where he got injured and disappeared. Copperwheat said he ran into Myers in a store parking lot in New York several months ago.
"I called over to him. He was walking down, going to his car and I pulled the truck over and he looked at me and just said my name and said, 'I'm retired,' and turned right around. (He) didn't even talk to me or anything. (He) just kept right on going," said Copperwheat. "I don't know why he acted that way. It was just totally perplexing."
Copperwheat said Myers stayed in New Hampshire for a few months.
Investigators said the motive of the shooting remains unclear.

Huzur said in his last Friday Sermon he had cited the spiritually inspiring writings of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) to explain that the prayer 'guide us in the right path' (1:6) contained the prophecy of the advent of the Messiah, the prophecy of the Messiah to be from among the ummah of the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) and the command to accept the Imam of the age. He had therefore put it to the Muslim world to reflect on this as therein lies the means to restore the honour of the Muslim world.
Huzur said today he would present the points with reference to this Quranic verse that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) expounded to attain spiritual and temporal progress. So that the extremely extensive scope of the prayer may be appreciated and we may understand the huge responsibilities that lay on us after accepting the Imam of the age.
Hadhrat Musleh Maud (may Allah be pleased with him) explained that the word 'huda' (guidance) connotes three aspects; a) to show the way, b) to [physically]take one to the way/path and c) to take one all the way to the destination. With reference to this the verse 'guide us in the right path' (1:6) is a prayer that seeks a good path, one that takes one to piety and which leads a person to attain their objective and facilitates them to go forward in the path. Huzur said with this prayer one cannot simply sit idle, rather one has to continue to move upwards in spirituality as well as try and progress in worldly matters. Indeed, Huzur said, we make extreme efforts to succeed in worldly matters both the kinds of progress are signified in this prayer. The prayer also refutes monasticism. Allah created mankind and along with man created countless bounties. He drew man's attention towards seeking the bounties rather than for him to renounce the world. This prayer also signifies seeking worldly knowledge and cognisance in addition to seeking spiritual development. Spiritual guidance can only come from Allah as it is cited in the Qur'an, '…Surely, Allah's guidance alone is the guidance…' (2:121).
In the prayer of 'guide us in the right path' (1:6) one supplicates that all one's matters are conducted in an acceptable, correct way and when one attains a certain spiritual stage, one is guided to the next stage and thus one continues to traverse stage upon stage. Huzur said the prayer 'guide us in the right path' is a collective/communal prayer. It signifies that once we join a community may our thoughts be in line with the community. We will be helped in removing our personal drawbacks when we say this prayer with a collective spirit to be guided in the right path. We will reflect on our individual contributions towards the community. This prayer encourages us to seek personal benefits as well as communal progress while it draws our attention to develop in intellectual and practical terms and this leads to guidance. The Holy Qur'an states, '…as for those who follow guidance, He adds to their guidance…' (47:18).
Huzur explained the prayer that we make several times daily in Salat is not an ordinary prayer. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said the prayer is the central point of Salat.
One of the excellences of this prayer is that it comprises all grades of individual and it is a prayer that has no ceiling, no ending nor any confines. Those who say this prayer with sincerity of heart and profound devotion are blessed. Huzur said the prayer contains many glad-tidings – as stated in the Qur'an, '…And whosoever believes in Allah – He guides his heart aright…' (64:12) and …'And if you obey him, you will be rightly guided…' (24:55). Huzur explained that Allah has made His pleasure conditional to following the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be on him) as stated in the above verse.
Huzur explained that the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that treading the right path is a virtue which may also be referred to as moderation or the middle way and Unity of God may be attained through this. This virtue cannot be achieved by either remaining slack or being excessive. For example forgiveness on all occasions is unwarranted just as never showing mercy is excessive. Putting everything in its proper place is moderation and this is the right path which all Muslims should tread.
Next Huzur cited and explained an extract of the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) which he said was a little complex but needed explaining as many do not know the language in which the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) wrote. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that the prayer of 'guide us in the right path' entails truth, veracity and wisdom. When these qualities are applied on people they signify piety, when they are applied to God, they signify perfect obedience and when applied to oneself, they entail purification of the self. The words 'right path' which signify piety, perfect obedience to God and self purification are based on three aspects: a) intellectual/theoretical, b) practical and c) relating to self. These are in turn of three kinds; those due to Allah, those due to people and those due to oneself. The intellectual/theoretical dues to Allah that 'the right path' demands is that one regards Allah as One and acknowledge that He possesses all excellences and is the perfect manifestation of all attributes. The practical dues to Allah of 'the right path' entail to obey Him with sincerity of heart, not to associate any partners to Him and to absorb oneself in His love. The intellectual/theoretical dues to people of 'the right path' are to consider them as mankind, creation of God and therefore humble and to be aware that they are mortals. This is the intellectual/theoretical description of Unity of God as it enhances the Oneness of God and makes one understand that rest are all mortals. The practical dues to people of 'the right path' are to practice sincere virtue and to undertake what is proper and correct without even a hint of wrongdoing and let it be a practical expression of one's trust in God; it is thus a practical expression of the Unity of God. The intellectual/theoretical dues to oneself as regards 'the right path' is to be fully aware of the evils of arrogance, malice, jealousy, injustice etc. and is the intellectual/theoretical description of the Unity of God as it signifies that there is only One Being Who is free from all flaws. The practical dues to oneself of 'the right path' are to overcome these evils and to put virtues into practice. This is an expression of the Unity of God as regards oneself and is a stage at which one frees oneself from everything save Allah and completely absorbs oneself in the Being of Allah. There is a fine difference between this and the practical dues to people because the practical dues to oneself entails a distinction that is achieved after much spiritual endeavour and may or may not be observable to the world. The practical dues to people signify a service which is only verified when people are benefitting from it.
The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) explained that the prayer 'guide us in the right path' purifies one from the notion of associating partners to God and also erases the causes of this failing. Huzur briefly remarked on the evil practices of saint-worshipping and having absurd expectations from dubious individuals who people ask to pray on their behalf. Huzur said Ahmadis should avoid these practices. The Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that Allah has named Islam as steadfastness (Isteqamat) in the Qur'an and therein has taught us the prayer of 'guide us in the right path, the path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings…' (1:6-7), that is, grant us steadfastness. He said that steadfastness is man's highest quality/attribute (Ism e Azam) and through it man can achieve excellences and Allah draws man's attention to this in the prayer 'guide us in the right path.' Huzur said each man, each Muslims should try and attain 'the right path' according to his/her capacity and continue to pray for it.
Elucidating the concept of prayer the Promised Messiah (on whom be peace) said that as Allah has taught us in 'guide us in the right path, the path of those on whom Thou hast bestowed Thy blessings…' (1:6-7), we should be mindful of three aspects, a) to include all mankind in this prayer b) to include all Muslims and c) to include those who are present company. This encompasses all humanity and relates to Allah's attributes as mentioned in the verses preceding these verses as Lord (Rab), the Most Gracious (Rahman) and Ever Merciful (Raheem) by virtue of which He nurtures all creation.
Huzur said this is a prayer for the guidance of all mankind, all Muslims. Today the world seems to be fast heading towards what indicates a World War situation. Prayers should be made for the safety of all Ahmadis, safety of all Muslim Ummah and safety of all mankind. The world seems to be perilously teetering on the brink of fire. Ahmadis who are true believers and are included in the Community of the Promised Messiah (on be peace) should bring about pure and pious changes in themselves and make special prayers. May Allah enable us to do so.
The Jumu'ah (Friday) prayer is one form of congregational worship in Islam. It takes place every Friday. Regular attendance at the Jumu'ah prayer is enjoined on the believer. According to a Saying of Muhammad(sa) this congregational prayer is twenty-five times more blessed than worship performed alone. (Bukhari)
"O ye who believe! When the call is made for Prayer on Friday, hasten to the remembrance of Allah, and leave off all business. That is best for you, if you only knew." more
"… (He who) offers the Prayers and listens quitely when the Imam stands up for sermon, will have his sins forgiven between that Friday and the next" (Bukhari)

Right from the off, as soon as Sony Computer Entertainment revealed that it was crafting a PS Vita version of Uncharted we were intrigued. The adventures of Nathan Drake have rapidly combined to become one of the firm's most valuable and loved franchises, and it made complete sense to have a new chapter help launch the company's new handheld console. Little did we know that it would do it with such aplomb.
It comes as a mild, but not unwelcome surprise that the quality of Uncharted: Golden Abyss is so high, because the game was not produced or developed by the PS3 trilogy's master crafter Naughty Dog. Instead, coding duties fell to the in-house Bend Studio, but, for all intents and purposes, you'd never know. This is an Uncharted game through and through, from the fascinating storyline involving retired revolutionaries and missing relatives to the same cunning blend of platform and fire fight action.
Actually, it's a prequel to all the games that have gone before and, as such, manages to introduce an (almost) completely new supporting cast. This helps to keep things fresh for diehard fans and cleverly negates the need for newcomers to swot up on a now complex back story. It'd be interesting to know how long the screenplay took to write in comparison to its PS3 forebears, as characterisations are, perhaps, a little shallower than usual, but they're good enough for you genuinely to care for the plot and people within it.
Cinematic delight
There's certainly plenty of cut scenes and banter while you're swinging around the gorgeous landscapes to help bring you further into the story, and it is perhaps here that you realise that Uncharted: Golden Abyss is no mere casual gaming experience. You would never find such depth in an iPhone game, for example.
To start with, the amount and quality of voice acting is extraordinary for a portable game. Nathan Drake, voiced by the always splendid Nolan North, never seems to shut up; wisecracking and chatting his way through every action from the grand to the banal. And when Sully turns up, expect plenty of laughs too.
Some people may find all of this cinematic depth, with sometimes lengthy cut scenes and constant chatter, off-putting. To them, we say stick to your Angry Birds, if that's all you have time for, fine. There's nothing wrong with that. However, the PlayStation Vita is a bone fide games console, and Uncharted: Golden Abyss is a bone fide console game.
Making the most of the Vita's controls
It does have some bells and whistles unique to this specific portable. As one of the A-list launch titles, it makes sense that Sony would use it to help promote some of the more interesting features of the PS Vita, so it seems that every available control method has been used in some form or another.
- HP's new Omen gaming PCs explored: We tear down these gaming beasts to see what's under the hood (promo)
For example, the front touchscreen can be used to pick up weapons, access the journal, camera and other user-interface ephemera, while also coming into play for in-action functions. Some are merely optional, such as the ability to swipe your way around ledges in order to force Drake to climb them automatically. Others are required, such as a swipe to cut down bamboo blockages or to dodge during a fist fight.
The rear touch pad is utilised too, allowing you to examine objects and rotate them. In fact, the game often adds a puzzling element to this particular method of interaction. And the motion sensors stop you falling from logs or help to refine aiming during a shooting fest.
Unfortunately though, we feel that for an experienced Uncharted player most of the new control methods are gimmicky at best, and we found it far easier to revert back to the tried and trusted dual thumbsticks and buttons 90 per cent of the time. That's not to say that someone coming in cold won't prefer them; we just found them less intuitive.
Thankfully, apart from the occasional touchscreen-necessary event, there is always the option to use the conventional gaming controls rather than the new age ones. And, unlike many other games, they run in parallel at all times, meaning you don't have to return to the menu screens to swap over.
Overachiever and proud of it
The last major element to the game lies in the quest for PlayStation Trophies and the numerous collectables that will need to be found or acquired in order to earn them. More than any other Uncharted game, Golden Abyss asks the more dedicated fans to deviate from the story often, in order to grab certain collectables, whether they be small statues, charcoal rubbings, or specific photographs of the surroundings in each level. This last task is the most fun, as you try to match up viewpoints and take accurate replicas, although we wish this is pointed out right from the start, as there are a couple in the first chapter that you'll miss on first play.
Sadly, there is no online game mode in Uncharted: Golden Abyss. Instead, there's the Black Market, which uses the console's "Near" functionality to swap Bounty collectable cards with other die-hard Uncharted fans, but that's about it for internet connectivity.
We doubt you'd mind much; there's about 12 good hours of gameplay packed into the tiniest of memory cards and we expect you'll be satisfied enough by the story's conclusion. And happy to ready yourself for a sequel.
To release Uncharted on the PS Vita is the equivalent of Nintendo launching Mario Galaxy on the 3DS, it is a property so revered by so many that even the slightest of curve balls could help taint the franchise forever. Thankfully, Uncharted: Golden Abyss is a very worthy addition to a series of much loved games. It may be portable, and crammed into a smaller frame than its loftier cousins, but acknowledges that fact without ever allowing it to be a handicap.
Yes, the multiple new-fangled control methods are more than likely to be ignored by many, but at least the game doesn't require you to master them. And yes, the characterisations of some of the ancillary cast are two-dimensional, but no more so than a decent action movie. In-depth interaction and canny set-pieces make up for any shortfalls.
Then there's the stunning graphics, which put all other portable games to shame, iOS, 3DS and Android included. It helps that they sparkle through an OLED display so adept at rendering colour and vibrancy, but art direction on the game is highly commendable.
There's only one sticking point that we can think of, and that's price. £45 for any game, on any console, is a lot to ask. But in Uncharted: Golden Abyss you truly get what you pay for.


text: This playground, located at 92nd Street and 56th Avenue, takes its name from one of the oldest European settlements in Queens. Eight years after the abandonment of the Maspeth colony in 1644, English colonists moved inland to what is now Queens Boulevard and Broadway in 1652. The land for the new colony was formally obtained from three Native Americans named Rocero, Westcoe, and Pomwamken by English Governor Richard Nicolls in 1666 for 71 pounds and 9 shillings. Although the Dutch called this location Middelburgh, the English settlers described it as the "new town"—as opposed to the first colony at Maspeth. When the English system of towns and counties was introduced in 1683, the community was designated as Newtown.

One of the best and worst parts of research…. Is that it is (or appears) endless. I find myself reading things I know I will never use for my thesis…. but helps me to understand the situation and experience of unwed mothers in Morocco. I have taken this approach from the beginning of my research process- a firm believer that all things intersect, connect, and influence. However, this fact, coupled with the nature of research (one thing always leads to another) can be at times a bit overwhelming. And yet exciting.
Exploration in the Research Process
Summing up my Summer Research/Experience
Summer is over. I am back at school with a full plate of work, classes, homework, obligations, and inter-library loans…. And so how best to summarize my summer in the field?
Entering September
Research is a process, writing is a process, honors thesis is a process…. Meet with your advisor!!
So I am back at WM full steam (and I must say after eight months abroad it feels like quite the challenge). I kept feeling like I was behind, behind, behind. But then I remembered that in my proposal for my thesis (and summer funding) I wrote a timeline. I had spent the time (way back when) making an achievable plan…. So I stopped for a moment and looked at it. And you know what, not only did I remember how many times I planned on meeting with my advisor (which I did today) but I realized I am right on track, maybe even a little ahead.
August and the USA
AUGUST 20th 2010
I am home now. Back in the states. The pace is about a million times faster and a watch is once again a necessity. Everything is strange and weird, but I hear that fades. For over seven months Morocco has been my home. I have friends and family there. I researched there, I slept there, I ate there, I fell in love there. Transitioning back to my other home will take some time, but hopefully this too will help my research. I am starting to think that everything helps your research. People, field experiences, education, and I might say most importantly life experiences.

Employers that are current on BWC obligations and maintain Active or Reinstated coverage are eligible to participate. Employers can check their outstanding balance and policy status online.
How will this program help me find workers?
By partnering with county Alcohol Drug Addiction and Mental Health Services boards, providers of rehabilitation services, and the recovery community, you will be connected with individuals who are in recovery and have met the requirements to enter the workforce. Many employers have found these employees are very loyal and provide excellent customer service. Additionally, their employee retention rates improve.
If an employer's location is within the participating county, can employees who reside outside of the county participate?
Yes, the only requirement is that the employer's policy address must be in one of the participating counties. The residency of their employees is not considered.
Is an employer eligible if its work location is outside of the participating county but it hires employees who reside in the participating county?
No, employer's policy address must be in one of the participating counties.
Am I required to receive special training to work with people in recovery?
No, but BWC encourages participation in training to equip managers to lead employees in recovery.
Is an employer's participation in training required to be eligible to receive reimbursement for drug testing?
No, but BWC encourages participation in training to equip managers to lead employees in recovery.
Can I quit this program at any time?
Yes, participation is voluntary.
Am I required to keep employees who fail drug tests?
Employers participating in BWC's Drug-Free Safety Program (DFSP) must adhere to program guidelines regarding termination upon a failed drug test. Employers not participating in DFSP are not required to retain employees that fail a drug test. However, they are encouraged to work with the employee to get assistance.
How do I request reimbursement for drug testing and training?
Employers that have registered and are participating in BWC's Substance Use Recovery and Workplace Safety Program (SURWSP) should complete the request for reimbursement form and submit to your local ADAMHS board.
May employers use reimbursement for random and reasonable suspicion drug testing for current employees that were not initially hired as an individual in recovery?
Yes. Employers trained to recognize the signs of impairment and/or addiction, may notice problems among their existing staff. Also, some employees choose to self-report substance use, or may fail a drug test. If these employees choose to begin a recovery program, future drug testing will be reimbursed through the BWC Substance Use Recovery and Workplace Safety Program.
Will initial application for reimbursement go through the ADAMHS boards?
Yes, the ADAMHS boards are administering the program in compliance with BWC policy. All requests for reimbursement are to be made to the ADAMHS boards.
How will I be reimbursed for expenses and when?
Following completion of training or after drug testing results are obtained, complete the reimbursement form and attach your W-9 (required PRIOR to first request). You will receive reimbursement 45 days from your initial request in the program and within 30 days for subsequent requests.
Are there reimbursement caps for drug testing?
BWC requires a minimum 12-panel test and will reimburse up to the 16-panel test not to exceed BWC fee schedule, OAC 4123-6-08.
Are there reimbursement caps for training?
BWC will reimburse for the following training expenses:
- BWC will reimburse the actual cost up to a maximum of $300 per hour for two hours ($600 maximum) of initial supervisor training, and the actual cost up to a maximum of $300 per hour for two hours of monthly ongoing training ($600 maximum), for up to one year ($7,200 maximum).

- BWC will reimburse the actual cost up to a maximum of $300 for a webinar at least one hour in length as an annual refresher training provided by a qualified professional.
Is participation in the Drug-Free Safety Program required?
No, but it's recommended.
If an employer participates in the BWC Drug-Free Safety Program and takes advantage of this program, can it use the supervisor training (for which they are reimbursed through this program) to meet the requirements of the Drug Free Safety Program?

Join us to delve into the lives and music of two titans of opera, Giuseppe Verdi and Richard Wagner, at Deloitte Ignite this weekend (15 and 16 September). There are many ways to join us; whether you come to the ROH in person or watch from another country.
The weekend kicks off with a live broadcast of BBC Radio 3's Music Matters, in which presenter Tom Service will chair a discussion about each composer's impact on art in the 19th century. Panellists include festival curator Stephen Fry, renowned bass Robert Lloyd, Director of Opera Kasper Holten and director Graham Vick. The discussion, broadcast from the ROH's Clore Studio at 12.15pm on Saturday, is now sold out but you can listen live via BBC Radio 3.
Stephen Fry will also lead a special In Conversation event on Saturday afternoon at 5pm. Stephen and Associate Director of Opera John Fulljames will explore their own personal responses to Verdi and Wagner in a discussion that promises to offer lively and original reflections. Tickets are still available. Find out more about the event.
On Sunday at 6pm Stephen will also chair the Intelligence² 200th Birthday Debate: Verdi vs Wagner, which pits the deeply humane, Italian allure of Verdi against the Teutonic cerebral genius of Wagner. The debate, in which Norman Lebrecht and Philip Hensher each champion one of the composers, will feature musical extracts performed by Southbank Sinfonia with conductor Paul Wynne-Griffiths and some very special guests. Tickets are sold out, but you can join us online on the ROH website to watch the event live. Find out more about Verdi vs Wagner.
Deloitte Ignite 2013, which is curated by Stephen Fry and celebrates the bicentenary of Verdi and Wagner, runs throughout September and includes a range of free events. Forthcoming events include The Festival of Voices, which features free choral workshops and performances, and a ticketed performance by Jazz legend Julian Joseph. Find out more about The Festival of Voices and how you can get involved. Although the event is free booking is recommended.
Previous events include a day of free pop-up performances inspired by Verdi and Wagner that took place in the Paul Hamlyn Hall last week. Find out more about the performances.

With the 2008 edition of SummerSlam billed as "The Summer's Biggest Blockbuster," the big question awaiting those assembled at the Conseco Fieldhouse in Indianapolis Sunday night was whether the event would be a runaway smash like The Dark Knight or something fit for only the most diehard fans like The X Files: I Want to Believe.
Befitting its status as one of the year's major pay-per-views, SummerSlam sported a card that was as loaded as WWE bookers could make it. Just about every singles title was on the line, and a couple of matches loomed large -- literally in the case of The Great Khali facing Triple H and figuratively with the years-in-the-making (but only weeks-in-the-building) first clash between John Cena and Batista.
But the highlight of the night took place in the main event, which saw the returning Undertaker take on Edge in a Hell in a Cell Match. An especially large cage towered over the ring, pretty much assuring the two superstars wouldn't be climbing to the top to recreate Mick Foley's famous fall from a decade ago.
That didn't mean there wasn't plenty of carnage. The Undertaker struck first with a boot to the head and wasted little time making sure Edge's first time inside the cell included a big helping of the steel fence.
Vickie Guerrero and her family watched backstage as the Dead Man continued his assault in and out of the ring, using the steps as a weapon. Edge turned the tables and used the steps to his own advantage, following up with a low Spear.
The Canadian superstar set up a double stack of tables on the floor, but �Taker recovered in time to avoid being sent through with a suplex. Edge turned to a steel chair and a ladder to do more damage, sending his foe through a third table set up inside the ring.
Both men scored near falls before the action spilled back outside, where Edge leapt off the steps to deliver a Spear that sent both men crashing through a section of the cell that almost took out Jim Ross in the process. Another spear ended with Undertaker smashing through the ECW announce table.
Neither grappler could get the upper hand back in the ring in a sequence that featured both men stealing the other's signature moves. Undertaker finally broke the stalemate by smashing a video camera over Edge's head, using two chairs for a Con-chair-to and pinning him with a Tombstone.
Unsatisfied with merely winning the match, Undertaker decided to return to the ring after the bell, where he set up two ladders and told Edge that he was going to "send him to hell." A chokeslam from atop his perch drove Edge through the ring, and flames shot up through the resulting hole as SummerSlam reached a fiery end.
The next WWE pay-per-view is Unforgiven on September 7.
Reunited and it feels so good! Dale and Nick haven't been able to team up for a pay-per-view report since January's Royal Rumble, so hopefully they won't forget the drill. Nick's comments appear in plain type with Dale's thoughts in italics.
Perhaps it's a bad omen that SummerSlam is sponsored by the DVD release of a movie (Street Kings starring Keanu Reeves) that didn't exactly light it up at the box office. The theater-style marquee above the entrance is cool though.
Montel Vontavious Porter vs. Jeff Hardy
I think the writers missed out on a big opportunity in this feud. They should have played it like Hardy got resigned to a big contract -- say, right after the draft -- and had MVP get jealous. In any case, a fairly evenly fought bout looks like it's tilting in Jeff's favor as he climbs up to drop the Swanton Bomb. But Shelton Benjamin shows up ringside, and Hardy decides to take him out instead. Enough time passes that MVP rolls out of the way when he finally tries the Swanton. A drive-by kick puts Jeff down for three. Not as good as you might expect from these two.
Winner ... MVP at 10 minutes and 21 seconds.
Match Rating: 6/10
Maria interviews her old boyfriend Santino Marella, who shows off his new girl, Beth Phoenix. Santino extols the virtue of a unibrow. Phoenix then stares Maria down, telling her Santino belongs to the Glamazon now.
Santino also introduces us to a new word: manscaping! I'll return the favor by saying that according to the almighty keeper of all knowledge (Wikipedia, of course), the medical term for unibrow is synophrys. See? We educate as well as inform.
Mickie James and Kofi Kingston (Champions) vs. Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella (Challengers) -- Intercontinental/Women's Title Winner-Take-All Match
Mickie dropkicks Phoenix off the apron while she is arguing with her man. Mickie nails a hurracanrana and then a Thesz press of the top rope. Santino breaks the pin. James hits a DDT on Marella, but Phoenix recovers to hit a double chicken wing into a facebuster. Phoenix covers for the win.
Winner ... and new Women's Champion and Intercontinental Champion, respectively ... Beth Phoenix and Santino Marella at five minutes 35 seconds.
Match Rating: 5/10
Shawn Michaels comes to the ring with his wife, Rebecca. HBK thanks the fans for their support. Michaels tells us that the doctors have said it is time to walk away. HBK says he will heed the advice and step down. Michaels reflects on his career. Chris Jericho interrupts the proceedings and faces off with HBK in the ring. Jericho tells HBK he won't let him go out on his own terms. Jericho wants Michaels to admit he is leaving because of him. Shawn tells him to get out of the ring. Jericho wants credit for his work and wants Michaels to admit it. HBK will tell his wife and kids that he can't wrestle anymore because of the actions of a vile, selfish man. He goes on tell Jericho that Jericho will never be him. Jericho goes for a cheap shot, but HBK ducks and it takes out Rebecca. Michaels attends to his wife while Jericho slinks away.
Too bad Shawn can't get revenge -- he's retired! Our unofficial historian and timekeeper, Brian Whorl, thinks Michaels should apply for reinstatement so the WWE can cash in on the Brett Favre saga.
Mark Henry w/ Tony Atlas (Champion) vs. Matt Hardy (Challenger) -- ECW Title Match
Hardy starts off with a forearm, then ducks a corner charge. Henry falls out of the corner and Matt covers. Tony Atlas pulls Matt off of Henry and out of the ring. The ref calls for the bell. Atlas beats down Matt until Jeff makes the save.
The once-prestigious ECW belt has now been "defended" at WrestleMania and SummerSlam in two matches that lasted less than a minute combined. Thankfully Paul Heyman is still alive, because if he wasn't, he'd be rolling in his grave right now.
Winner ... Matt Hardy at 31 seconds.
Match Rating: 0.5/10 (but 10/10 for not having Henry wrestle)
CM Punk (champion) vs. JBL (challenger) -- World Heavyweight Title Match
Punk ducks a clothesline and connects with a series of kicks. Bradshaw retaliates with a fallaway slam off the middle rope. JBL locks in a bear hug. JBL breaks free and hits a bulldog. JBL blocks the GTS and connects with a Clothesline from Hell. JBL repeatedly drops elbows, but Punk kicks out. Punk gets caught in midair and power slammed, but JBL can't get the pin. Punk counters a clothesline with a spinning heel kick. JBL hits a back suplex off the top rope. Punk counters a short arm clothesline with the GTS and covers for the three count.
Winner ... and CM Punk at 11 minutes and nine seconds.
Match Rating: 6.5/10
Triple H (Champion) vs. The Great Khali (Challenger) -- WWE Title Match
Say what you want about Khali as a worker, but the man sure cuts one heck of a promo. At least he does in my imagination, where I can understand what he's saying. Also, Kevin Nash once said that he only had two moves, but they both hurt. Khali is kind of like that, except neither move looks like it hurts. Much of the drama in this match revolves around whether or not it is "anatomically possible" (a great quote from J.R.) for HHH to hit the Pedigree on Khali. Several minutes -- and "You can't wrestle!" chants -- in, we find out it is.
Winner ... Triple H at nine minutes and 18 seconds
Match Rating: 4/10
John Cena vs. Batista
It would be great if this means a legitimate heel turn for Cena, but the consensus here is that WWE can't jeopardize its main mover of merchandise. Too bad.
Winner ... Batista at 13 minutes and 44 seconds.
Match Rating: 6.5/10
Edge vs. The Undertaker -- Hell in a Cell
Winner ... The Undertaker at 26 minutes and five seconds.
Match Rating: 8.5/10
Total Event Time: 2 hours and 43 minutes
Event Rating: 6.5/10

Hey everyone! Here's the latest update. I'm currently working on a 'James Bong' story for GMP, the first page of which can be seen below. I'm also gonna throw in a panel from page 2 just cuz it cracks me up everytime I look at it!
I'm a bit worried that its starting to look like I'm channelling J. Scott Campbell, but that seems to be what happens when I go for a more 'cartoony' type of look. Regardless, I'm having a blast drawing it, and I hope it shows.
REMINDER! I'll be at the fan Expo here in Toronto this weekend, so please do drop by if you can and say hello. I'm in artist alley, just not sure where exactly yet. There's your challenge...try and track me down!!

Harris helps Cowboys clip Redskins
Arlington, TX (SportsNetwork.com) - Dwayne Harris had an 86-yard punt return for a touchdown, and finished with 222 total return yards to help the Dallas Cowboys to a 31-16 win over the Washington Redskins in an NFC East clash on Sunday.
Tony Romo was 18-for-30 passing for 170 yards, a touchdown and an interception. DeMarco Murray and Joseph Randle added one rushing score apiece and Terrance Williams had a receiving touchdown for the Cowboys (3-3), who bounced back from a heartbreaking defeat to the Denver Broncos last week.
Murray and star defensive end DeMarcus Ware both sustained injuries in the first half and did not return for the second. Murray suffered an MCL sprain in his left knee, and Ware strained his right quadriceps.
Dallas will visit the Philadelphia Eagles in Week 7, with the teams tied atop the NFC East standings.
"They played pretty good tonight, but our defense and special teams stepped up. Everyone rose for the occasion, and we got the win," Romo said.
Robert Griffin III completed 19-of-39 passes for 246 yards, but threw an interception and also lost a fumble for the Redskins (1-4), who are 1-3 coming off the bye since Mike Shanahan took over as head coach in 2010.
"We're close on offense, but close doesn't do it in this league," Griffin remarked. "We did move the ball effectively the majority of the game, we just have to punch it in when we get in the red zone and finish those drives."
Alfred Morris finished with 81 yards and a touchdown on 16 carries in the setback.
Morris broke off a 45-yard touchdown run with just under four minutes left in the third to pull Washington within 21-16. Morris took the handoff on the right side, but cut back and accelerated through a series of arm tackles and into the end zone.
Things went downhill quickly for the Redskins from there, though.
After Kai Forbath missed a 49-yarder wide to the left, Dan Bailey nailed a 30- yarder early in the fourth to make it an eight-point game.
Griffin was stripped on the ensuing drive and Kyle Wilber recovered the ball at the Washington 3-yard line. Two plays later, Randle was able to cross the goal line with some help from center Travis Frederick, who pushed Randle and a group of tacklers into the end zone making it 31-16.
After getting the ball back, Griffin led the Redskins deep into Dallas territory, but on 2nd-and-7 from the 23, Griffin's pass intended for Santana Moss was intercepted in the end zone by Orlando Scandrick. Moss had tripped inside the five as the ball was in the air and Scandrick was able to make the catch and barely came down inbounds.
Washington had one last shot with just over three minutes left, but was stopped on fourth down, all but sealing the win for Dallas.
Dallas drove right down the field on the game's opening drive. A pair of penalties helped keep the march moving for the Cowboys, before Murray bulled his way in from four yards out.
Washington moved inside the Dallas 10-yard line on the ensuing possession, but Griffin was tackled at the 2-yard line on 3rd-and-goal and the Redskins were forced to settle for a 20-yard field goal from Forbath.
Harris' 86-yard punt return made it 14-3 with 2:26 remaining in the first half. After a sideline interference penalty on the Redskins negated a short punt return, Harris carved his way down the left sideline before a pair of Washington defenders collided, allowing Harris to cruise into the end zone.
Forbath nailed a 32-yarder in the closing seconds of the half to make it 14-6 at the break.
Forbath's 33-yarder capped a 10-play, 65-yard drive on Washington's first touch in the second half, but Harris returned the ensuing kickoff down to the Redskins' 15.
Two plays later, Romo connected with Williams in the back right corner of the end zone to make it 21-9. Williams was just able to keep his right foot on the ground long enough to gain possession in bounds.
Game Notes
Dallas had just 48 rushing yards ... Sean Lee made 10 tackles for the Cowboys ... Dallas took Frederick with the 31st overall pick in the 2013 NFL Draft ... Washington rushed for 216 yards. Griffin finished with 77 yards on the ground ... The Redskins will host Chicago next week.

By Michael Norton and Andy Metzger
STATE HOUSE, BOSTON — With hearings ongoing, the House will not take any action during its formal session Wednesday on Rep. Carlos Henriquez, who is incarcerated and appealing his conviction by a jury on two counts of assault and battery.
"Not today," Speaker Robert DeLeo said when asked if the House would take action on the Henriquez matter. Before being hustled onto an elevator by an aide, DeLeo said, "He's still at hearings."
With House Ethics Committee members reviewing the case of Henriquez, the Dorchester Democrat serving a six-month jail sentence, House rules lay out a process under which the committee may file a public report.
While the committee's deliberations are confidential, the rules specify that if an alleged violation of House ethics rules is deemed to have merit by a majority vote of the committee's members, the committee shall file a report with the House clerk and the report "shall be a public document."
The rules prohibit the committee from disclosing any allegation deemed "frivolous or without merit."
If the committee finds House ethics rules have been violated, they may vote in the case of a legislator to recommend a reprimand, censure, removal from a chairmanship or other position of authority, or expulsion.
On the day of his conviction and sentencing, DeLeo and several other members of the House, as well as Gov. Deval Patrick and Boston Mayor Marty Walsh, urged Henriquez to resign.
Henriquez has resisted those calls and his attorney has filed an appeal of the jury's verdict.
Henriquez was transported to the State House Friday and again on Tuesday to appear before the committee. A Tweet posted under Henriquez's account Tuesday urged residents of Roxbury who believe the lawmaker has helped the community to share their support with the speaker. A spokesman for the Middlesex County sheriff said inmates do not have access to the Internet or Twitter while in custody.
The House on Wednesday afternoon is holding its only scheduled formal session this week. The clerk's office late Wednesday morning had not received any report from the committee.
DeLeo plans to address his colleagues Wednesday about House priorities. The House is also scheduled to consider a $12.4 billion transportation bond bill, with 258 amendments pending to that legislation.
Norfolk Republican Shawn Dooley was sworn in just before 1 p.m. by Gov. Deval Patrick. Dooley won a special election to fill the seat vacated by former Rep. Dan Winslow, also a Republican.
"The theme of my campaign was putting people before politics," Dooley said during remarks to the House. "And that will continue to be the mantra of my office in this illustrious building. Putting the needs of all people first is the only way we can truly serve."

--THE LEGEND OF THE TOWER OF NEKOGAMI--
It is told that there was once a ruler who was very devoted to Nekogami. It so happened that this ruler aspired to build a tower which would reach up through the blue heavens to meet Nekogami herself. For this purpose he recruited many nekojin and had them work with him.
Upon seeing such fervor for their goddess, the Inkaaneto of Nekogami visited this King to see what blessings they could bestow upon him and his people. However, when they came to him, he sent them away. Dutifully they returned the next day, but the next day, too, he sent them away. Each day they would visit him, but each day he would send them away.
When Nekogami heard of these events from her Inkaaneto, she came personally to visit the King. She asked him, "What is it that you want, nekojin King?" And he replied to her, "I wanted to see you."
The goddess replied to this, "Ah, and now you have seen me. Nekojin King, I tell you--too long you focused on the skies. I gave you a land and a people to rule over and to watch over. I gave you my angels so that you, too, might be cared for. Have you so long forgotten these gifts that you desire more?"
The goddess then gathered the king in the palm of her hand, and carried him with her. She gathered the workers outside the tower, and carried them too. All these nekojin were placed gently on the ground by Nekogami, a distance away from the tower which was beginning to fall apart. All these nekojin were protected from the falling tower by Nekogami's body itself, which she used as a shield for them.
Nekogami again spoke to the king. "Your devotion has been foolish, but devotion it has been. Thus you have been saved from your tower, poorly built, as it crumbles upon itself. You will not be so foolish in the future, but use your wisdom to save your people."

it.mds (Master Data Simplified)With master data it is said that everybody needs it, but nobody wants to handle it. Too often master data rules and procedures are opaque, leading to unstructured, complex data distribution and consolidation. Data maintenance frequently lacks ownership or is reliant on key employees. Unfortunately poor master data quality leads to costly error-prone processes and reporting.it.mds is all about making things simpler and at the same time providing a better overview. With it.mds errors are minimized and quality can be maximized time-effectively.

Writers don't often become "names" in the world of gaming, and it's a shame. A good game can be made great with solid writing, and likewise a game can be made nearly intolerable with lazy writing and voice-acting. Rhianna Pratchett is one of the writers trying to help good games become great—you've heard her work in games like Overlord, Heavenly Sword, and Mirror's Edge, and a new website will help give fans news on her latest projects, interviews, and press.
After over a decade in the industry, I thought that it was about time that I had a little corner of the internet to call my own," says Pratchett. "An online home where I could highlight the projects and teams that I've been lucky enough to work with."
Andy Serkis spoke on why having a writer involved from a project's beginning is such a good idea. "We established early on that we needed a scriptwriter involved from the beginning, and we were very lucky to bring on board the fantastic Rhianna Pratchett. Thanks to her, we quickly established who the characters were, what they meant to each other and what the cause and effect of each cut-scene would be, so that dramatically we could move the story on."
Be sure to stop by, see what she's working on, read our interviews with the writer, or just take a look around. It's good to see more writers getting more attention; this is an art form that can use the best voices it can find.

George Washington Blog
Thursday, January 1, 2009
Israeli's leading paper, Ha'aretz, writes:
Sources in the defense establishment said Defense Minister Ehud Barak instructed the Israel Defense Forces to prepare for the operation over six months ago, even as Israel was beginning to negotiate a ceasefire agreement with Hamas. According to the sources, Barak maintained that although the lull would allow Hamas to prepare for a showdown with Israel, the Israeli army needed time to prepare, as well.
Therefore, it is certain that Israel's massacre in Gaza is not related to any specific recent rocket attacks by Hamas.
So why did Israel choose this moment to attack Gaza?
Well, the Bush administration will be out in mere weeks. And while Obama has made nice with AIPAC and Israeli interests, Israel isn't sure that he will be as acommodating as the current administration.
As Phyllis Bennis writes:
The Israeli decision to launch the attacks on Gaza was a political, not security, decision. Just a day or two before the airstrikes, it was Israel that rejected Hamas's diplomatic initiative aimed at extending the six-month-long ceasefire that had frayed but largely stayed together since June, and that expired 26 December. Hamas officials, working through Egyptian mediators, had urged Israel to lift the siege of Gaza as the basis for continuing an extended ceasefire. Israel, including Foreign Minister Tsipi Livni, of the "centrist" (in the Israeli context) Kadima Party, rejected the proposal. Livni, who went to Egypt but refused to seriously consider the Hamas offer, is running in a tight race for prime minister; her top opponent is the further-right Benyamin Netanyahu of the officially hawkish Likud party, who has campaigned against Livni and the Kadima government for their alleged "soft" approach to the Palestinians. With elections looming in February, no candidate can afford to appear anything but super-militaristic.
Further, it is certain that the Israeli government was eager to move militarily while Bush was still in office. The Washington Post quoted a Bush administration official saying that Israel struck in Gaza "because they want it to be over before the next administration comes in. They can't predict how the next administration will handle it. And this is not the way they want to start with the new administration."

Countries Pledge $4.3B to Save 250M Children Through Vaccinations
International donors led by the U.K. and Bill Gates have pledged $4.3 billion to provide vaccines to 250 million children across the world's poorest countries at a fund-raising conference in London Monday.
The Global Alliance for Vaccines and Immunization (G.A.V.I.) has been held in a drive to prevent millions of premature deaths in the coming years by providing relatively cheap and easily available vaccines to the world's poorest regions.
The U.K. led the way for donors from across the globe with Prime Minister David Cameron pledging $1.3 billion to the scheme, which was just under a third of the total raised.
Astonishingly the U.K.'s new pledge was an additional sum that will be paid on top of $1.1 billion it had already pledged to be given by 2015.
Billionaire Microsoft co-founder Bill Gates, who helped establish G.A.V.I. a decade ago, also vowed to give $1 billion over the next five years.
Gates said at a news conference: "This is absolutely human generosity at its finest. For the first time in history, children in developing countries will receive the same vaccines against diarrhea and pneumonia as children in rich countries."
The World Health Organization has estimated that 2-3 million people are saved each year through immunizations.
G.A.V.I. has reported that its works alone have prevented more than 5 million deaths over the past decade through its immunization programs.
Studies have revealed that if 90% of children living in the 70 poor countries G.A.V.I. is supporting were to be fully immunized, approximately 6.4 million children would be saved over the next 10 years. That would also save more than $151 billion that otherwise would have been spent on other treatments required for those same people through not being vaccinated. The total economic benefits of this would be in excess of $230 billion.
The following is the list of just some of the main donations:
U.K. $1335 million
Norway $677 million
U.S.A. $450 million
Sweden $201 million
Netherlands $175 million
Australia $149 million
France $146 million
Germany $73 million
Italy $25 million

MUTEK 2012 wrap!
A review of highlights and successes from a formidable 13th edition
June 07, 2012
After a five-day marathon with over 80 performances by local and international artists, MUTEK 2012 came to a close in the wee hours of Monday morning at the SAT, as enthused revellers fell under Dave Aju's sonic spell. Having taken over new venues and diversified its program, the organizing team had the pleasure of seeing the festival spread out even more across the city this year, while also recording very high levels of international attendance: tourists made up 47% of the audience, including 42% from outside Quebec, as well as 74 broadcasters and 81 journalists from outside the province, reinforcing its standing as an international showcase. From artistic performances that met (if not exceeded) expectations and an audience that was as large and diversified as always, this thirteenth edition of MUTEK leaves behind many cherished memories!
The MUTEK 2012 stage once again welcomed a slew of highly anticipated acts. Among the many highlights this year: Apparat with full band, who kicked off the proceedings on Wednesday night by delighting the crowd with their headlining set full of soaring melodies; Jeff Mills' first-ever MUTEK booking, which dazzled anyone in sight at the Metropolis, after solid performances by Shackleton and Monolake on Thursday night; as was the case during each previous visit at the festival, Kode 9 captivated the crowd gathered at the SAT on Friday night with his extensive bass music know-how. And what's there to say about the performance of enigmatic UK figure Clark in the Satosphère's idyllic setting, or that of Jan Jelinek, resurrecting his flagship project Farben at the SAT? Both left their unique stamp on this thirteenth edition.
MUTEK 2012 was brimming with powerful moments and kept up a particularly frenetic pace, most notably by offering double bills from Thursday to Saturday, spread out simultaneously over two locations, the Metropolis and the SAT. This was partly thanks to the fruitful partnership with the Red Bull Music Academy. MUTEK's close and always as promising collaboration with the SAT team gave way to unforgettable moments in the Satosphere, which the festival took over for the very first time, officially introducing this highly immersive and avant-garde space to an important crowd of foreign professionals. Canada's emerging talents, for their part, did a stellar job in transforming the Place de la Paix into bustling, free rendez-vous of evening musical showcases as part of the now well-established EXPERIENCE series.
Lastly, MUTEK is particularly proud of the success of its new MUTEK_LAB component and the high level of enthusiasm generated by its "Tools for an Unknown Future" symposium, which brought together professionals and interested audiences from May 28 to 30, directly preceding the festival. This extensive achievement was the direct result of a wonderful collaboration with the Phi Centre and the ICAS (International Cities for Advanced Sound) network, many of whose members were in Montreal for the event. This marks a renewal of the festival formula around its new MUTEK_LAB component. The MUTEK team is already mulling over its 14th edition, which will take place in Montreal from May 29 to June 2, 2013.

CIO… the Missouri Valley ConferencePosted by Brian Goodman on December 13th, 2012
Patrick Marshall is the RTC correspondent for the Missouri Valley Conference. You can also find his musings online at White & Blue Review or on Twitter @wildjays.
Looking Back
- McDermott Looking Like Last Season — If you have been watching any Creighton games this season, it might have seemed that Doug McDermott was starting out a little slowly compared to last season. That may have been expected as more teams have started to regularly double- or even triple-team the All-American. However, it may also have been related to the time he took off in the summer to take a break from hoops more than anything. Over the past three games, McDermott has scored 80 points since the Bluejays' home loss to Boise State. In the past four games, he has shot 17-of-24 from three-point range, and he is now fifth in the nation in scoring (22.7 PPG) and shooting 52.3% from the three-point line. Right now his minutes per game are running below last season's as well. Teams will have to decide to pick their poison against McDermott with his skill set both inside or outside. If he continues this torrid pace, it will be hard to deny him strong consideration for eventual National Player of the Year honors.
- Still Undefeated — Wichita State is still one of only 14 teams in Division I that is still undefeated. Sitting at 9-0, the Shockers are off to their best start in school history. They have never started the season at 10-0, but will have the chance on Thursday night against Tennessee. With all of the holes that Gregg Marshall has had to replace going into this season, it is quite an accomplishment for his team to be off to this great of a start. Whether it is still figuring out the lineup or the depth they are developing, nine players are averaging 14 minutes or more of playing time a game. At the same time, they are dominating opponents with only two games within single digits (VCU & Air Force). Against the rest of their opponents, they have won by an average of 18 points per contest.
- Who is Next? — Creighton and Wichita State look to be at the top of their games right now. But really, who is next in the MVC pecking order? The rest of the league has been pretty inconsistent so far as we head into the final two weeks of non-conference play. Fortunately for Illinois State, it is sitting at a solid third due to the schedule it has played, putting it at #45 in the RPI. Amazingly enough, Southern Illinois is sitting at fourth with an RPI of #113. Northern Iowa, despite playing in the stacked Battle 4 Atlantis is sitting 7th in the league with an RPI of #182. By going 0-3 in that tournament, it has been a deep hole that the Panthers have had to get out of. As a league, the MVC is the ninth best conference in the nation, just ahead of the West Coast Conference. These next couple of weeks will hopefully separate some teams in the conference and that can lead into momentum entering conference play to help keep the RPI up.
Reader's Take
Power Rankings
- Creighton (9-1) — Since losing to Boise State on November 28, the Bluejays went on a rampage against their past three opponents — St. Joseph's, Nebraska and Akron — to a win margin of at least 16 points or more. It has started with the play on the defensive side of things limiting opponents from getting open looks from three as well as hedging off ball screens a lot better. We all know about McDermott, but Grant Gibbs and Austin Chatman have been distributing and holding onto the ball efficiently. Gibbs has had 27 assists and one turnover and Chatman with 13 assists and 4 turnovers during this three game stretch. Gibbs for the season has a ridiculous 7.3/1 assist turnover ratio for the season.

Newtown school board wants CMT waiver
NEWTOWN -- In the wake of unprecedented circumstances, the Board of Education plans to make an unprecedented request.
The board voted 5-2 on Wednesday night to seek a federal waiver allowing the district to skip the Connecticut Mastery Tests this spring, following the disruption and trauma caused by the Dec. 14 shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary School.
Students in third thr0ugh eighth grades take the CMTs. The district would still give the Connecticut Aptitude Performance Test to 10th-graders, as the state requires for graduation.
Schools Superintendent Janet Robinson said she was not wholeheartedly in favor of the move, stating that she and some principals see the tests as a means of collecting data necessary to address curriculum and instruction.
Robinson said the data from this year's test would be important in next year's teacher evaluations, 45 percent of which will be rooted in student performance. If the CMTs are waived, Robinson said, she fears the first few weeks of school in the fall will be dedicated to giving students a standardized test to obtain data for those assessments.
In conversations with state education officials, Robinson said she was given the impression that such a step would be unlikely. However, school board Chairman Debbie Leidlein said she learned just the opposite.
Based on requests from the teachers' union, Leidlein said she contacted the state Department of Education, which informed her a waiver request could be made and forwarded to federal authorities.
State Rep. John McKinney, R-Fairfield, whose district includes Newtown, attended the school board meeting and said he suspects the district's request may be granted. This was an unprecedented event that requires an unprecedented response, he said.
The board engaged in a lengthy debate about pursuing the waiver, and decided the trauma suffered by Sandy Hook students and staff, and others throughout the district warranted this one-time request.
Board members Richard Gaines and Keith Alexander voted against the idea.
Board members said they plan to forward a resolution to the state Legislature seeking workers' compensation benefits for teachers who may have suffered emotional trauma because of the shootings. The resolution is similar to one the Police Department has forwarded for first responders, including teachers and school staff.
The school board plans to give all 850 district employees two personal days beyond the five they receive, however those days cannot follow a regular holiday or vacation day.
Sandy Hook students and staff will receive a full winter break in February; the rest of the district's break will be Monday and Tuesday the week of Feb. 18. An uninterrupted April vacation is promised to the entire district.
"This is a very compassionate move by the board,'' Robinson said. "I agree with it.''
Leidlein and fellow board members said they feel the additional time off, made possible by the state Legislature's waiver of the 180-day requirement for Sandy Hook, is extremely important. The board plans to seek to extend that waiver to the whole district, if that is deemed necessary, based on any other missed days.

KMC-2 Diffraction
KMC-2 Diffraction
The instrument Diffraction is a 6-circle goniometer in psi-geometry. The sample is mounted on a motorized stage that allows movement in all directions. Two detectors are available: A scintillation detector (Cyberstar) and an area detector (Bruker Vantec). 2Θ angles up to 140° are accessible with the area detector. The instrument is located at the KMC-2 beamline, which provides X-ray radiation with very stable energies in the range between 4 and 14 keV. This combination covers most scattering requirements.
Sample environments available at KMC-2 include:
- HTF-KMC2, a custom-build Be-domed furnace with in-build turbopump for experiments up to 900 °C in ultra-high vacuum (10-6 mbar); this furnace is restricted to Θ-2Θ geometry.
- Anton Paar DHS 1100 furnace for experiments up to 1100 °C in air, inert gas or mild vacuum (10 mbar) without limitations on the movement of the goniometer.
- CCR-XRD closed cycle refrigerator for low-temperatur experiments (15 - 450 K) and controlled gas loading up to 150 kPa.
- CRYO-GAS-JET capillary system for experiments with small sample volumes at low temperatures (20 - 300 K) and controlled atmospheres up to 1000 kPa.

text: DarknessSep 28, 2009, 07:18:42 PM Topic on: Sep 28, 2009, 07:18:42 PM There's a very interesting video commentary on LatinoReview who has had a look at a draft of the script dated July 12, 2009. The first look is very positive. They say the script is 'awesome' and providing Fox let Rodriguez handle everything, Fox will have a blockbuster on their hands by next summer. Here's the main points:-The script isn't PG13, it's a 'bloody, violent, hard R script reminiscent of the original'. -Story takes place on the Predators' homeplanet… Picture it as one big jungle from the cretaceous period.-Opening sequence takes place with our main character, Royce, chasing down something on a rooftop. The sequence ends with him killing his prey with the Predator watching. The Predator then kidnaps him. We next see the character parashooting onto the Predator planet. -Soon after we meet seven other characters who also parashooted onto the planet: Cuchillo, Nikolai, Isabelle, Stans, Mombasa, Hanzo, and Edwin. -They soon realise they're prey in a game of cat and mouse and they take off on the run in the jungle. The Predator planet is a game reserve.-A 'Black Super Predator' leads the hunting party of two other Super Predators.-The characters eventually hook up with an American soldier called Nolan hiding in a cave. They find out that the Predators have been dropping humans into the game preserve for years.-The script includes a cameo appearance from Arnie.Thanks to Darkoo for the news.Link To Post

Cultural institutions that wish to hold International Museum Day can raise awareness among visitors about specific needs when dealing with collections (conservation, mediation, exhibitions, digitisation, etc.).
Museums hold a great variety of objects as material evidence of our memory, and students, young people, families and artists can react to these objects in very different ways. The subject therefore needs to be interpreted in various ways in order to respect the diversity of cultural institutions and of regional and local traditions.
