Benilde-St. Margaret's goaltender Thomas Gilligan made 16 saves against Eden Prairie in the state title game. Photo by Adam Crane
Thomas Gilligan received fair warning.
"We said, 'Thomas you are going to see a lot of shots tonight. These guys have got lot of offensive weapons,' " Benilde-St. Margaret's coach Colin Mulcahy said about buildup to the Red Knights' Minnesota State High School League state championship game against Eden Prairie.
Gilligan, a junior, figured the best way to prepare for a barrage of shots was to ... face a barrage of shots.

Mulcahy said Gilligan, "probably faced a thousand shots today" while warming up before the Thursday, June 9, title game at Chanhassen High School.
Gilligan put the pregame shot total at closer to 300, including about 200 at the Red Knights' home field before busing over to Chanhassen.
Whatever the number, it was enough to leave assistant coach and designated warmup shooter Mike Evans with a balky back.
"Actually, he pulled his back muscle doing so many shots," said Gilligan, who made 16 saves – at least 10 of which could be classified as spectacular -- in the Red Knights' 9-3 triumph over Eden Prairie.
The victory clinched an unbeaten season and back-to-back titles for Benilde-St. Margaret's (18-0). Gilligan also was the Red Knights' starting goaltender last season.
"Just nerves of steel," Benilde-St. Margaret's senior Taylor Topousis said about Gilligan, who was brilliant in the early going when he turned aside repeated close-range blasts. "They have some good shooters and he stopped them all. He was stopping everything tonight."
Eden Prairie (15-3) controlled play in the opening minutes and forged a 2-2 tie at the end of the first quarter when all-state standout Mitch Hugdahl scored on a 20-yard blast with 9 seconds remaining in the period.
The Eagles didn't score again until there was 1:56 remaining in the fourth quarter.
Topousis, in particular, was dominant force during the Red Knights' 7-0 run. He scored twice and added an assist during that 34-minute, 13-second span of dominance.
"He's our general out there," Mulcahy said. "You see it every game. You see him leave it out there no matter what, no matter who we are playing, he pushes it.
"He wasn't going to settle for anything less than a state championship this year."

Gilligan said Topousis' fingerprints were all over the championship, pointing out that it was the senior midfielder who was organizing weight room workouts and on-the-field shooting sessions long before the season.
"He was amazing," Gilligan said.
Added Red Knights junior Will Hoesley, "When we need a goal, he gets us a goal. He came up big in this tournament especially."
The superlatives could be passed out like Halloween candy after such a dominating performance for Benilde-St. Margaret's. But the conversation keeps coming back to Gilligan.
"He's a wall," said Hoesley, who scored twice. "He's the best goalie in the state, for sure. I can't believe we have him again next year, too."
Is it too early to talk about next season? The Red Knights, the first team to repeat as MSHSL state champions, will return Gilligan, scoring phenom Hoesley, star attackman Christian Horn, face-off wizard Dominic Burg, defenseman Joe Pettingers and a host of other standout players.
Yes, for Mulcahy it is too early to think about the possibility of a three-peat. But not by much.
"I think we'll take the night," Mulcahy said, "and then tomorrow we'll think about next year."

1. Thomas Gilligan, Benilde-St. Margaret's
The junior goaltender was superb in the early going, when the outcome still was in doubt. He made at least a half-dozen stops on point-blank shots in the first half alone, stuffing Riley Boehm, Davis Snyder and Mitch Hugdahl, among others. Gilligan, who was credited with 16 saves, now has two state titles on his resume.
2. Taylor Topousis, Benilde-St. Margaret's
The senior midfielder and co-captain simply refused to be stopped, as he scored two goals and added two assists in his second command performance (he had three goals in a semifinal win over Burnsville) in as many state tournament games.
3. Will Hoesley, Benilde-St. Margaret's
An ultra-quick junior attackman, Hoesley scored two highlight-reel goals, both of them coming in similar fashion on scintillating dodges from behind the net. Hoesley finished with 65 goals in 18 games.

No. 1 seed and defending champion Benilde-St. Margaret's completed its perfect 18-0 season on Thursday night, igniting in the third quarter and getting scores from six different players to completely overwhelm No. 2 Eden Prairie at Chanhassen High School, winning 9-3 and storming the field as the seconds ticked off the clock, tossing their sticks in the air and collapsing in a pile at midfield.
"It feels fantastic," Red Knights standout Will Hoesley said.
Added head coach Colin Mulcahy, as he watched his team celebrate: "It really hasn't sunk in yet that we've gotten two in a row."
Two nights after both teams barely scraped by their opponents in the semifinals – each claiming a one-goal win to stave off the upset – the squads seemed positioned to endure another close contest as they each scored two in the first quarter.
But in the second, the Red Knights were able to create some distance, getting the first of two goals from Taylor Topousis, who led the team with three goals in the semifinal.
Then with 3 minutes remaining in the half, Hoesley – who was basically shut down in the semifinal – got the ball, and after being chased around behind the net by a defenseman, was able to find a hole and poked one in the left corner to make it 4-2. He added to the padding in the third, sinking a second to put the Red Knights up by three.
"It was more about the team working together tonight," he said. "But I got my chances. It felt great to be able to put them away like that and expand the lead."
Meanwhile, although Eden Prairie had plenty of opportunities – outshooting the Red Knights 18-10 in the first half and 32-26 overall – many of their offerings sailed wide or fell victim to goaltender Thomas Gilligan, who had 16 saves.
"We were getting to the net left and right … We were like five feet from the goal and we didn't put the ball in it," Eagles coach Ryan Ward said.
From there, BSM simply took off, notching four more in the final two quarters and shutting out the Eagles through the final three.

With the world engulfed in soccer hype, this writer thought it was a good idea to look at some soccer video games. No, not the standard classics like the yearly FIFA franchise. From robots to middle school children, here are the top five weirdest soccer video games.
Battle Soccer 2: Kamen Rider, Ultraman, and Gundam characters mingling in a video game may seem a bit off, but these properties team up fairly often in Japan unbeknownst to a western audience. Ahem, as for the game, it's a whacky pairing of costumed characters and robots duking it out in the normal soccer fashion except with the extra flair of super powers. It still looks and plays great on the good old SNES.
Disney Sports Soccer: Honestly, this game is pretty drab in every sense of the way. It stars Disney characters, like Mickey and Donald, who are captain of their respective soccer teams. The gameplay is similar to BS2, but in a less enjoyable way. With not a lot of choices and ugly, ugly graphics, it's hard to recommend this one beyond the Disney and soccer fanatics.
Inazuma Eleven: Inazuma Elven comes from Level 5, makers of the recent RPG hit Ni no Kuni, as well as the puzzle adventure series Professor Layton. Melding these two series together, IE is a soccer RPG. It's one part narrative, following the lives of its characters in middle school, and one part RPG where war is raged on the soccer field. The idea of a soccer RPG is good, but the dialogue is a tad too "talky" and the soccer battles are clunky since players are forced to use the stylist to controls characters.
Kunio Kun no Nekketsu Soccer League: River City Ransom actually has quite a few games in the series known as Kunio Kun in Japan. From Dodgeball to racing to, yes, even a hyperactive soccer game. Crazy weather, crazy animations, and a great gameplay style make this classic worth revisiting, especially for those who missed this import the first time around.
Mega Man Soccer: Lastly, let's look at the Blue Bomber in his most peculiar role: soccer. Surprisingly, this game is pretty fleshed out. Capcom went all out in making both the best and weirdest soccer game around: tons of characters, powers, and fields. If soccer is the only way MM can return, well then heck, bring on a sequel!

Schumann in FL is very unprofessional
by Anonymous
Dr. Schumann, the interviewer in FL, should have been my first indication of how things were going to be at Ross. I had already heard horror stories prior to my meeting, but nothing could prepare me for that!
After yelling at me (literally) for a while about how working in the medical field as a pre-med was not beneficial to my admission (because that it not real medicine) and advising me not to even bring it up, he proceeded to tell me that I would never get into HIS school and would never be an MD. He asked me if there was anything that I would like to add. I asked if he would please look at my long list of extracurricular activites which I had participated in, including community service, etc. He continued to yell saying, "Only three things matter when getting into medical school...G P A!" About 2 weeks later, I unfortunately received my acceptance letter.
The interviewers from other states are supposed to be more professional. I would advise anyone living in Florida to spend the extra money to fly to another state rather than have to go through that demeaning torture. Best of luck.

Too bad your interview was a bad experience. I cannot recall the woman's name that interviewed me in Farmington Hills, Michigan. However, my experience was quite the opposite. She was courteous, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in her answers to all of my questions. I enjoyed the experience and will begin at Ross in May.

I had a similar experience with Dr. Schumann. It was touch and go there for a while, but at one point his manner seemed to be so absurd that I began to think it was an act, "bad doc" instead of "good doc" or something. Fortunately Ms. Grigsby, who is also in the Fla. office, told me afterward that that was exactly it...he is of the old school, and believes in testing an individual's capacity to handle him/herself with difficult, unreasonable people, which sick and injured people, i.e. patients, often are.
Still, it wasn't one of the better afternoons I have spent LOL.

Is this the same Shumann accused of pressuring female students for sexual favors?
April 8 2000, 6:45 PM
Is this the same Shumann accused of pressuring female students for sexual favors in exchange for grade increases? Interesting if it is because I thought that he was rumored to have been fired by the University. No idea personally. Could be that he was forced of the island and this was part of the deal the University made.
Seeking answers.

You people make me laugh
April 9 2000, 12:01 AM
The only reason why Ross bothers with an interviewing process is to put up the facade that it is a "real medical school." The only thing that Ross cares about is that you have a pulse and you can sign over that nice, juicy financial aid check.
For those unfortunate enough to end up in that hellhole, I sympathize with you and I pray you make it out in five semesters unscathed. As for myself, I jumped ship after one semester after being accepted at a US medical school (thank God!!!!!!!)

Monday, Oct. 24, 2011 | The plan review firm Charles Abbott Associates received the vast majority of Anaheim's outsourced plan check work while company employee Steve Ahuna was the city building division's plan review supervisor, city invoices show.
Ahuna was the city's contract plan check supervisor from April to October 2008. During that period, and in the months immediately before and after, Charles Abbott Associates billed the city $103,441 for plan review work, according to the invoices.
The disclosures regarding Ahuna come on the heels of revelations that during a two-year period Anaheim outsourced most of its plan check work to a firm owned by Scott Fazekas while Fazekas was under contract as the head of the city's building division. Fazekas resigned his post earlier this month after a Voice of OC story revealed the potential conflict.
A good-government expert said the two situations indicate a troubling trend in the building division and show that the city is not doing enough to safeguard against conflicts of interest.
"I don't know if two is a pattern, but it shows to me a little inattention to the potential of conflicts. If you see it once — and you see it twice — there may be more," said Tracy Westen, CEO of the Los Angeles-based Center for Governmental Studies.
In response to the revelations about Fazekas, Planning Director Sheri Vander Dussen issued a directive to distribute the plan check work more evenly to the plan check firms.
Neither Ahuna nor Rusty Reed, president of Charles Abbott Associates, returned calls and emails seeking comment about Ahuna's case.
City officials didn't directly address questions about the potential conflicts.
"It is possible he [Ahuna] did outsource plans to CAA [Charles Abbott Associates] to meet the City's established turnaround times," wrote city spokeswoman Ruth Ruiz in an email to a Voice of OC reporter. "Because he was at City Hall, he was able to work directly with applicants and internal staff, resulting in better customer service."
In a memo to City Council members and City Manager Thomas Wood, Vander Dussen wrote that Ahuna "did perform some plan checks" and also "provided technical support to our staff members and performed some supervisory tasks."
The memo acknowledges that the city wasn't "outsourcing much plan check work to other firms" while Ahuna was plan check supervisor.
Other details about the billing arrangement remain unclear. Invoices show that Ahuna worked for some months as a full-time staffer. On those same invoices, Charles Abbott Associates charged the city for plan review work. City officials have so far refused to answer questions about the bills and other details of the outsourcing arrangement.
If Ahuna was outsourcing plan check work to the company that employs him, then it is a worse conflict of interest than Fazekas' situation, Westen said. Fazekas and the city took steps to prevent the appearance of a conflict, including a clause in Fazekas' contract prohibiting him from directly participating in outsourcing decisions.
Fazekas' company billed the city for at least $18,954 in building plan review work between his appointment late in 2009 and June of this year, according to city records. During that period, Fazekas' firm received 80 percent of the city's outsourced plan review work.
Fazekas said others in the building division made the decisions to send plan check work to his firm. "I wanted to make sure there wasn't a perception of exactly what you're talking about," Fazekas said previously. "We specified that I would have no involvement."
There seems to have been no such effort in Ahuna's case.
"If you give a city employee or a city contractor the power to hand out city money, you want to make sure he's not handing out the money to his own firm," Westen said.
Even if Ahuna wasn't making the decision to outsource to the firm that employs him, it still placed psychological pressure on his colleagues within the building division to outsource to Charles Abbott Associates, Westen said. "There is still an appearance of a conflict because people like to get along," Westen said.
Ahuna was plan review supervisor while also doing plan review work. The double duty is another apparent conflict, Westen said. Ahuna would have been under pressure to look more favorably on the work his company was doing than that of an independent contractor, Westen said.
Mayor Tom Tait and Councilwoman Lorri Galloway said they hadn't seen the memo from Vander Dussen and weren't aware of the situation regarding Ahuna. Galloway said she didn't know about Fazekas' resignation, nor did she know about his potential outsourcing conflict.
"I don't know. I absolutely don't know," Galloway said.
Tait declined to comment on this article, but when he was previously asked about Fazekas' resignation, he said the city needed to be concerned about public perceptions of conflict of interest.
Council members Harry Sidhu, Gail Eastman and Kris Murray did not return phone calls seeking comment.

A recent image photographed by the Curiosity Mars Rover shows what looks very much like an ancient carved Martian stone head that appears to depict a face and it stands at the entrance to a cave.
Considering the shadow under the head, it looks like it is lifted and held by a rock that resembles a hand/arm, but that's just how I see it.
Suppose the carved stone head with its characteristic face is real and for example it is a tribute to an ancient civilization once inhabited planet Mars, then NASA really should take a look inside the cave.

For literally as long as I can remember, my mother has been struggling to lose weight. I remember being about 9 and my mother coming home with bags and bags of lettuce, exclaiming that our family would only be eating salad from now on. I laughed and greedily checked on the secret stash of Easter candy that I had hidden under my bed. There would be absolutely NO salads for 9 year old me.
When I was 16, I remember my mother choking down chalk-like SlimFast shakes and lying through her teeth as she exclaimed how good they tasted. When I asked for a taste, she would scoff at my thin adolescent frame and tell me that I had 'my father's genes.' If it were my father's genes that kept me naturally thin during adolescence, I must have gotten a new father when I turned 30. Regardless, for as long as I can remember, my mother has been on a diet.
Through all of these years of dieting, my mother never lost any weight. On the rare occasion that she lost 20 pounds or so, she would gain it back within 6 months of stopping whatever crazy fad diet that she was on at the time. Now that I have reached adulthood and my own weight loss battles, my mother has finally found something that works for her.
About six months ago, my mother started taking African Mango supplements. Since starting to take the supplements, she has lost over 30 pounds! Now keep in mind, my mother has always had about 50 pounds of weight to lose, so this supplement may not work for those who are naturally thin with just a few pounds to lose. Without much change to her diet and exercise, my mother has finally found a natural solution that seems to work for her body. She uses a brand called Perfect African Mango which you can buy here.

TNA Impact Wrestling, May 26: The Hits, the Misses and the "Who Knows?"May 27, 2011
Last week Impact Wrestling announced a few matches for this weeks edition of Impact. One of them was the main event in RVD vs Kurt Angle and the other match was Styles and Daniels vs. Dreamer and Bully Ray.
With Slammiversary getting closer with every week I was hoping for a good build towards the PPV. With "Wrestling Matters" as the label for Impact Wrestling, I was hoping for a good wrestling show. But did it deliver? Regardless of whether wrestling matters there will always be Hits, Misses and What the Hell moments.
Styles/Daniels vs. Dreamer/Bully Ray
At first I wasn't fond of this match leading off the show, but after watching the rest of Impact I realized that this was a very good decision. Last week, Impact started with a talking segment, this week it started with a wrestling match.
Although it wasn't the most technical match, (it was a street fight) all four of the guys can put on a show. Styles as always shined but he did a good job in my opinion of playing up his neck injury. The pelee Styles hit was picture perfect not to mention the crossbody in the crowd was phenomenal. Although it was a short match, it was the perfect way to start off the show.
Build to Slammiversary
Could you have a better build to a PPV than what Impact delivered last night? First of all the Styles/Daniels feud with Dreamer/Bully Ray is getting more serious. The next segment built the Mr. Anderson feud with Sting. You get a little Knockouts action with Velvet and ODB.
Then the Angle and Jarrett feud was built up again. Steiner screwed Matt Morgan. The X Division boys are not going away. We found out Bobby Roode was hurt and they might have to forfeit their titles. Last but not least, Kazarian attacked Abyss backstage. Right here, you have 8 good feuds that can be presented to us as matches in some way at Slammiversary.
Anderson/Disco Inferno Segment
The segment got the point across but I think it was poorly done. Anderson hitting Disco with the mic was 100 percent predictable. What I didn't see coming was Anderson running from Sting. Well I guess I did see it coming, I was just hopping that Anderson wouldn't turn into a coward/normal heel.
On a side note, unless Sting had some of his old outfits from like 20 years ago, then the last two outfits were made just for this stupid part of the feud. Cost for the outfits and for a Disco inferno appearance is a waste of money to me.
Morgan vs. Jarrett
I personally don't like when there is an opportunity to put out a good match and Instead we get a predictable and low-quality match. It took a while to start because Jarrett had to help Karen and that was annoying.
Then Karen interfered and we thought the match was over but Morgan kicked out. A few minutes later Karen distracts the ref and Steiner lays Morgan out. Jarrett gets the win. The Steiner interruption should have been the only interference and just had the match end that way instead of the false finish first.
The Who Knows:
What the Hell is up with the Knockouts? Isn't Velvet supposed to be feuding with Angelina Love and Winter. They kind of just threw ODB in a feud with Velvet and we are expected to forget that the Angelina and Winter feud didn't have a conclusion.
I like when a feud ends because it has a conclusion not when it ends because they want someone to do something else.
What was the hype for the main event for? I get that it was the first time RVD faced Kurt Angle on Impact. What bothered me and made me say what the hell was that the match was maybe seven minutes according to my calculations.
The match was good don't get me wrong, but with all that hype I wish that they would've given this match time and gave it like 15 minutes. This match could've been great if it had more time.
Spot of the Night: AJ Styles' crossbody onto Dreamer in the crowd. AJ can fly and anytime he shows this off I get excited. The crossbody was perfect and definitely showed off his skills. Anything a WWE high flier can do, AJ can do better. He proved it with this spot.
Quote of the Night: "Why do you refer to yourself as an asshole when in reality you're just a dick." - Disco Inferno.
I just gave a quote of the night to Disco Inferno but it was a good one-liner. The crowd seemed to agree and started chanting "Dick" towards Anderson. Disco might be onto something.
This week of Impact was just OK for me. There were two good matches and then four mediocre matches. None of these matches went a great length which is a shame when you promote that wrestling matters.
Next week should have more build to Slammiversary and I have to say, I am getting excited. I loved the announcement of Destination X and we might get a build towards that before we even get to Slammiversary.
As always, thanks for reading and please leave a comment. I read all of them and like hearing different opinions because it gives me a chance to look at things in a different way. If you like this article be sure to check for next week's edition as this is a weekly article.

Don't know what to do about DC contact following incident with ex.(48 Posts)
ExP has DS (nearly 4) for the day at weekends, with sleepovers alternate weekends. We've both been very amicable and flexible as to when works for us, and have maintained a friendship to the point of being able to still spend birthdays / special occasions / family days out together, which is great.
I have a long term mental health condition, and am very ill at present. I asked exP if he could possibly have DS for an extra sleep over this weekend, he said no, but would do what we usually do on his day; I give him my spare key, he can then bring DS back here whenever he wants if I'm out. We started this a long time ago, and has worked very well for us. ExP normally gets back here around 8pm, so if I'm going out, I aim to be back either before or after that so as not to interrupt bed time. We've talked about this and decided it works well. I had been drinking, but was coherent.
I got back this Saturday night at 8.30ish, had kept in contact with exP about when I was getting on the bus etc. He had been in an odd mood when I dropped DS off to him earlier in the day, but I thought he was just having an off time. When I got in, he picked up his rucksack, and I told him he might as well sit down and have a cup of tea, because the bus had just been.
He grabbed me by the throat and hissed that he was very fucking angry, so he'd be leaving now. I kicked at him to get him off me, and then he pushed me against the wall, and said that if I kicked him, he'd kill me. I slapped him (because I was seeing stars by this point), he let go and stormed out.
He came back about ten minutes later - I answered the door as had text a friend, and thought it might be her - told him I didn't want him to come in, so he just sat in the door way and proceeded to insult me in every possible way, and telling me that he knew I was suicidal, and that I should just do everyone a fucking favour because no one wanted me alive anyway.
He eventually left about half hour later. I will admit I can't remember everything that was said, and we moved from the front door to the lounge - I was more concerned about disrupting my neighbours with talking outside, knowing they have young children.
He's since text me several apologies, telling me he feels like he's turning into a monster, and offered to go to the police.
He has grabbed me by the throat before, once, though never threatened to kill me. The first time was not long after he lost his father, so I put it down to grief, and he attending therapy. I know he's been struggling with his depression and anxiety again recently, and although I've offered to be there for him, he will only really admit how he's feeling when he's been a bit of a twat (normally just being awkward, me calling him on it, him apologising and explaining).
I haven't contacted the police, but I have called his mother, and he is going to stay with his parents for a while. Have told him I don't want him calling at the moment to speak to DS (my mum says this is unfair, but I don't want to speak to him right now).
My problem now is I don't know what to do about contact for DS. Like I've said, I don't want to speak to him for a few days, and this weekend I'm taking DS to my parents overnight anyway, but then I'm a bit lost. I don't know what is best; I'm currently not feeling comfortable to say contact as normal, but I don't know whether that is unreasonable, as his mood has only ever been directed at me, never at DS. I'm terrified of any authorities being involved; frankly I'm scared that my diagnosis will be used against me and I'll loose custody. And the fact this isn't his normal behaviour, and that the only previous time he's acted like this was during a time of major emotional trouble, concerns me, hence why I contacted his mum and a friend of his, to make sure he has support if needed right now.
But I really don't know what the best thing to do is.
Sorry for the essay.
OP you need to report this to the police in order for ss to understand that you are have an understanding of dv issues. Reporting it shows that you are a balanced mature person who understands the difference between right and wrong. What they really don't want is people covrring up, if they find you both dishonest you could both lose him. Reporting is a show of strength.
I think it's a good idea to see your MH nurse sooner. To be blunt, your son is safer without unsupervised contact with his father. Your ex is too unpredictable. Your son would not thank you for allowing his father back in to hurt you, so you really must do something now.
I'm trying to fucking work out how much I will be damaging him mentally if he's suddenly not allowed to go to Daddy's house, and have special sleep overs any more.
OP, it will be a lot more damaging to DS mentally if he ever witnesses daddy grabbing mummy by the throat, knocking you unconscious, pushing you against the wall, screaming at you and calling you names... For a child to witness DV is tantamount to a child being the target of DV (just as damaging). If he does that to you with DS in the house, he will soon do it with DS watching, and you never know how he will be with DS esp when you're not there. You really should call the police to have the incident on record, go to your GP to have the physical abuse in your medical notes and insist on supervised access from now on.
You should not feel horrendous for limiting access for DS, you are protecting him, and it is your ex who is doing the damage by behaving as he is. Please report the incident to the police, and make sure you and DS are safe.
He's four years old, so at any point during this period where your ex was assaulting you and swearing at you he could have got out of bed and witnessed it.
So however 'protected' you think he is, he is not. He was totally vulnerable to something deeply distressing and potentially dangerous and it's just luck that he wasn't exposed to it. Next time he might not be so lucky.
You need to go to the police and contact social services about arranging SUPERVISED contact between your ex and your son, until such time as he can prove that he is not a danger to the little boy. It doesn't matter what you wanted, what you hoped for from the 'family unit' etc - keeping your son (and you, but you have a choice) at risk due to how you imagined it was going to be is not the right decision. It is not that way - your ex is violent and unpredictable, and the reasons behind this are absolutely irrelevant.
Also, I assume at 4 years old he can speak, so the first time that he tells his teachers, friends or nursery workers that he's heard something amiss or that Daddy has behaved violently in some way, they'll be contacting SS themselves, and if they then realise that you have not reported previous incidents they will view you as being in collusion with your ex and not protecting your child.
You need to call the police and get it on record that he assaulted you. If he hasn't hurt your DS and is willing to seek help then I think you should allow contact to continue, but insist that it be supervised. He has proven he can turn nasty, and if he can direct it at you then there's a chance he might direct it at DS. The old arrangement is over now, under no circumstances should you allow him back in your home.
Please do report it to the police!
Sorry but if you do and you later need legal aid you will have a far stronger chance of getting it.
Being a single parent DOES NOT damage children (I am the product of a single mother and know). Not having contact with an abusive parent; is nothing like as damaging as having contact or witnessing abuse.
Please reach out to your health professionals and tell them what happened.
Now look after yourself .
i'm also a lone parent...to 5 dc if it matters,however, my eldest at almost 20,absolutely does NOT blame me for leaving/making her dad go to court/limiting contact......none of my dc have
You have had very good advice.
In I am the single parent who have had to limit contact with non-resident parent, it's all him. It's not your fault.
I am in a similar situation, and I'll be damned if I let DS spend time alone with exH. God knows what he'd be capable of doing with DS if he got cross.
(thankfully, the court has recently ruled in my favour, and contact is dependent on my agreement).
I agree with going to the police, for your and your DS's protection.
And don't beat yourself for slapping him.
He deserved at the very least a knee to the groin and an elbow to the face. It was self defense. There is no composure that can be maintained when we are grabbed by the throat and threats are made to our lives.
BTW, please do not ever be alone with him again.
Take care.
in all honesty I'm more upset about the things he said than what he did, but as a friend has just pointed out to me, this is probably down to my own mindset right now.
And what he said is just as serious. Not about your mindset.
ExH now has a criminal case against him, mostly with things he said (on e-mail and text) than things he did.
He risks at least 2 years in jail.
Emotional violence can be just as bad, or worse than physical violence.
OP, call your MH worker and if you get no response you need to call the police immediately in order to get the incident on record and seek advice.
Sadly women that do not do this are sometimes accused of protecting their own interests instead of putting their children first. You need to do everything you can to avoid this happening.
The likelihood is that they won't do anything but they will have the incident on record so that if something similar happens again they have a pattern of behaviour. This will help in the future, when the legal people/SS decide on access arrangements.
You need to separate the incidents from your personal needs and your feelings of powerlessness, or your fear of your ex. Try to distance yourself and be impartial - talk about exactly what happened, as honestly as you can.
thnk about using your parents more to help you out not exp.
after this incident you need to reconsider him having any access to your house to see ds.
ds wont suffer if he doesnt see dad for even couple weeks while everything is sorted out eg conctact centre.
First of all, I'm a child of a single mother with fairly limited contact with my dad - tbqh, I think I've done better than I would had they stayed together. I've said it many times - I'm glad they divorced. Best thing she could have done for us.
I'm also reminded of an ex of my mum's. He was a single dad, because his wife had been murdered by her new partner. He strangled her to unconsciousness and then bludgeoned her to death. The kids were in bed when this was happening. They were woken up by the police and had to be lead past. I don't say this to scare you, but you need to be realistic that this can and does happen with disturbing frequency. Her murderer had his reasons too, and wasn't a bad person. He didn't mean to, after all. She's still dead.
I understand that it's absolutely terrifying. Not just because it's a terrifying thing to face in and of itself, but because of all the other things it'll mean to your life, now and in the future. Add a mental health doom-spiral (and I've been there myself!), and you need to be proud of yourself that you're not gibbering in a corner. You're stronger than you realise.
It might feel like a massive overreaction, but he's tried to strangle you twice now, and then you've got the mental abuse to deal with as well. Call the police, call your mental health team, get yourself set up to deal with this - contact in a contact centre and so forth.
This makes you a responsible mother who is putting her son's needs first, and doing the best for him in a difficult situation, who understands that physical and mental violence around a small child is not and can not ever be acceptable no matter the explanation, not whatever names you're calling yourself in your head, or whatever nightmare scenarios come to mind. You can rebuild family units later, once you've got the foundations secure.
Thank you all for spending the time to reply.
Am more angry tonight, having spoken to exP's mum - who I usually get only really well with - who was talking about it being important for DS to resume phone contact asap, to which I said a very blunt 'no'. And as much as she - and exP - might be insisting that he'd never be a risk to DS, I'll be damned if I am just going to accept his word on it. Especially seeing as he's still beating me with the ''I never wanted to be a father, you forced me to be by refusing to have a termination'' stick.
Am a bit sad as I told a friend what had happened, and his response was immediately, "What did you do to provoke him?". That hurt a lot.
DS hasn't asked about ex at all, though has told me that daddy was being a bit mean to him on Saturday, telling him that his legs were fine when DS said he wanted to rest.
It all feels like a big mess, I really don't want to face up to what's happening tbh.
SirBoob really sorry to hear this has happened to you. I echo what others have said re: reporting to protect you and ds.
Please contact Women's Aid for support on 0808 2000 247.
Also contact Mind for both support and legal advice (legal advice line 0300 466 6463) to help reassure you keeping your ds with you.
My eldest is close in age to your ds, since I joined MN before she was born I have been impressed by your mature attitude and ability to keep it together in the face of some difficult circumstances.
You are strong enough to deal with this, you know what you need to do, please don't let your fear stop you from taking action to protect you and ds. Take the power back that your ex has tried to take from you, he cannot control you if you do not let him.
"Thinking will not overcome fear, but action will." W. Clement Stone
Find your inner lioness.
SirBoob firstly sorry this happened to you. you must still be reeling.
at your 'friend' who asked what you did to provoke him.
You say that exP mum says he would not hurt ds but did she expect him to hurt you? if he is only hurting you because he is not in his right mind then he is not in his right mind to be looking after a child. the alternative is he is being deliberately abusive to a shocking degree. again not safe to be around DS unsupervised.
sorry. I know how tough it is. i tread a simialr line with my ex. he is not violent but he is emotionally abusive and I wonder how much contact he should have with dcs and it is a heart breaking choice.
but he really is dangerous. did you say he offered to go to the police? I would take him up on that offer. if he does not you should even if it is just to get it recorded without further action.
you need to stay safe for your DS.
Call them. Get some advice. Please don't be scared that SS will take your son, I know the local authority you are in, I worked there for 9 years, that is not how they operate. Hand on heart.
IMO I think that he should be having contact at his parents' house for the time being. And not immediately. But you should resume phone contact after discussing with him (in writing, email is best) what you are both going to say about why he's not seeing daddy for now.
And for the future, even if/when you start letting him take DS alone again, he shouldn't be letting himself into your home.
And a little bit of personal advice - if you're feeling very unwell at the moment please think about cutting out the alcohol. It will be making things worse xx
Dump the friend. I hope you're not taking advice from her...
Stay clear from ex's mum as much as possible.
However, I would resume phone contact between your DS and ex. Only them. Do not talk to ex on the phone, only texts and e-mails.
Ignore everything he says apart from contact or practical issues.
Do take advice from DV specialists. Have you contacted the police, or their DV unit?
WA might be able to help as well.
SirBoob, I have a mh condition and ended up with ss visiting after a dv incident in which the police were involved. I have to say ss were fantastic, social worker told me that my mh condition was of no interest to her whatsoever unless that was the thing that was causing risk to my children. It was only the dv that mattered to them and as soon as she knew I could / would protect dcs from that (after chatting to me about it) that was it - no further involvement needed unless I requested any support.
I'd agree with contacting the police, his behaviour is genuinely scary and dangerous. It's not nice to think about but he could have killed you without even meaning to.
I hope you're ok and getting some rl support.
Took DS out for the day, trying to make everything fun and smiley for him still.
I called Rise just now, but they have very limited opening hours; will try again tomorrow when DS is at playschool.
Thank you especially for reassurance re SS.
I've got through this week mainly by being almost out of body, but today feel like I'm moments from a complete breakdown. Have recently finally accepted past sexual abuse and rape (fuck that's the first time I've written that down), and thinking of this as assault or domestic abuse is screwing with my head.
SirBoob sorry you are having so much to deal with account of the abuse you have survived. and sucha hard thing to admit in your head so a brave step to write it down. well done. getting it out will help even if it hurts right now.
And making this fun for ds is just the right thing to do. the laughter of children is the best medicine for you and for them.
Wishing you strength to go with all the strength and courage you already have.
WA are there too if you need them.
Time after time on these boards I see women rationalising and minimising really awful behaviour from their ex/partner. And blaming themselves.
Absolutely nothing that you did or said could warrant near strangulation. So you hit back - this was survival instinct and a direct response to being strangled. Do you know it only takes a few seconds to strangle someone?
This man is very, very dangerous.

Re: Web shooter shop class - Part 2
Thanks, bro.
We start with a silly string can, move the nozzle and hose to the side, and hollow out the middle, leaving about a cm left, so it will fit snugly over the wrist. Then cover the gap with aluminum, weld it to the wall, so more fluid can be inserted. Then we take two pressure valves; one for C02, one for fluid(it'll all go to the same place, but this'll keep either hole from clogging). Then, we add an old wrist watch head over the nozzle, cutting out the glass the nozzle can still shoot the webs, and weld that to the can. Oke, now the adjuster on the watch head? Attach a bicycle shifter to that, and add a piece of plastic connecting the top of the nozzle and the inside part of the adjuster, so the nozzle button will be pushed when the hand is pulled back. Now, in the comics, he had cartridges that add extra webs. For this, we add a cavity just under the watch head, and add yet another valve. Then, put a needle valve on the butt of a hollowed rifle shell, and you can fill that up with a bit if fluid.*Btw, I've got a new YouTube account for gaming. A little random, yes, but once I put up a few videos, could anybody who likes videogames subscribe? It'd help a ton.

Dixon and Dario Franchitti made the most of early exits for both their Penske rivals. Dixon completed the 300 laps just three tenths ahead of Franchitti as another IndyCar Series race proved just how hard it has become to pass with the current spec of Dallara-Honda, but the Scot should have been first across the line, having been caught out by the timing of one of the race's four accident-inspired cautions.

Last season the Brewers finished with a 0.592 winning percentage. This season their winning percentage is down to 0.456. The difference is almost purely attributable to a drastic reduction in fielding efficiency.
I measure the three main baseball categories (batting, pitching, and fielding) by comparing the number of bases gained or allowed in each category to the number of outs produced by that category. Base to Out ratio is highly correlated with the number of runs produced.
For batting, the number of bases gained includes bases gained by walks and hit batsmen, as well as bases stolen. The number of outs produced excludes outs produced by sacrifice bunts. For pitching, the number of bases allowed includes 4 bases for each home run and one base for every walk or hit batsmen. No other bases are charged to the pitcher, because he has minimal control over every other kind of base production. Similarly, the pitcher is only credited with producing outs that come from strikeouts. Every other kind of base allowed by the defense and out produced by the defense is attributed to fielding.
In 2011, the Brewers offense produced 0.718 bases for every out they made. That was outstanding. This season the offense is only producing 0.696 bases per out, but that's pretty close and still pretty good.
In 2011, the Brewers defense (pitching plus fielding)allowed only 0.637 bases for every out produced. That was very good. In 2012 the Brewers are allowing 0.715 bases for every out, which is very bad, and which explains their diminished winning percentage. The extra bases allowed by the defense translates into extra runs for the opposition.
It's the Fielding
The increase in bases allowed per outs made can be attributed entirely to the Brewers poor fielding. Believe it or not, by my standards the Brewer pitching is actually improved. In 2011 the pitchers were giving up 0.844 bases for every strikeout, this season they are only giving up 0.828 bases per strikeout. But the fielding has been TERRIBLE. In 2011, the fielding was a very good 0.504 bases allowed to outs produced whereas in 2012 the average has increased to 0.661. That's awful. In fact, it is the worst in the National League. And it is the reason why the Brewers are losing so many games despite their decent run production.
Who is to blame? A: Rickie Weeks (and others)
The problem with my fielding statistic is I cannot isolate blame. However, if we look at the defensive metrics provided by Fan Graphs, we get some insight.
The biggest defensive liability, per play, is Aoki. He is an incompetent outfielder. In gross terms, however, the problem is 2nd baseman Rickie Weeks. He just doesn't make enough outs in the field. He hasn't done so since he came up, and he is not getting better.
Other bad defenders include some surprising names: Corey Hart, Carlos Gomez, and Alex Gonzalez. Each of those players have produced strong defensive numbers in the past.
The great irony is Ryan Braun. At the beginning of his career, his defense was putrid. He is now one of the more solid defensive players in the Brewers starting 9.
Room for optimism
Here's why I'm optimistic. Most of the "extra bases" have come from much poorer play in the outfield (if Weeks misses a play, its usually a single; when Aoki doesn't catch the ball it usually means extra bases). If the team can shore up their outfield defense, they could turn this season around. And they have the talent. They just need some health.

Okay, while it's true that you can take a bit of someone's energy and use it in spell work, it's not something you can constantly be doing if you aren't near the person (and it would probably start being draining for you if you did, therefore defeating the purpose).
No, you cannot constantly be taking ten percent of someone's energy and putting it in a sigil.
Also, though I am not an expert in sigils, I am fairly certain that charging them, "powering" them, or infusing them with any sort of energy or intent is redundant. I have not heard of anyone doing that. I may be wrong about that part, though, so take it with a grain of salt, and anyone more experienced in sigils is free to correct me.
However, whether it's necessary or not, your energy is enough. I use my energy to charge crystals and it works perfectly well.
I'm unsure of how a soul would protect you from a karmic law. If you believe in such things, nothing is going to protect you from it forever. If you don't, you don't need to worry about it anyway. Also, most people say that souls cannot be purchased, though that is debated.
Ah, I see what you're saying. I apologize; I misunderstood the last sentence.

Around the Farm: December 1, 2013
Around the Farm (ATF) takes a quick look at some of the daily performances by Indians prospects. This is a special fall and winter ball version of ATF that recaps all the offseason action by Indians players in offseason winter ball leagues. The positions listed below are where the player was playing in the game.
Erik Gonzalez (Leones del Escogido, SS): 1-for-3, 1 R, 1 3B, 1 K. Gonzalez picks up his first hit in three game on a decent night at the plate. With only a few weeks to go in the Domincan regular season, he doesn't have much time to turn this around before he'll have to do it in spring training in Goodyear. As an aside, while the Leones are a near lock to make the playoffs, would they play a guy in this kind of a slump in the biggest games of the year?
Anthony Vizcaya (Cardenales de Lara, RP): 0.2 IP, 4 H, 3 R (all earned), 1 BB, 1 WP. The Cardenales fans probably thought that things couldn't get any worse after starter Jose Escalona's rough 1.2 IP. Well, Anthony Vizcaya replaced him on the mound and proved them wrong. For those wondering why Vizcaya doesn't get more appearances (this was only his fifth of the LVBP season), this is why. After two straight scoreless outings to start the season, he has followed it up with single-game ERAs of 54.00, infinity, and 40.00. He now stands at a 15.75 ERA with a 3:5 K:BB ratio, 2.75 WHIP, and .353 opponents' batting average in 4.0 IP.
Roberto Perez (Indios de Mayaguez, starting C): 0-for-3. Perer performed poorly at the plate in his first start of the season befor being pulled for pinch-hitter Danny Gionzalez in the ninth inning. Perez came though on Saturday night with two big hits in extra innings to give his team the win and it looks like he was rewarded with a spot start. He is now batting only .143 on the LBPRC season.
Bryce Stowell (Crillos de Cagias, RP): 0.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R (earned), 1 HR allowed. Stowell has his third straight rough outing after three scoreless efforts to begin the Puerto Rican season. It has been a long year for him so the performance could be due to fatigue, but seeing how he has rarely been used I am chalking it up to rust.

Ask a Car Question, Get an Answer ASAP!
Hopefully I can help..
Have they actually corrected the camshaft fault totally with no further faults codes being recorded?
was that the only fault code the AA got? and what symptoms did you have to call the AA out?
Engine fault light came on and car started to run jerkily as if it was misfiring. Called AA rather that risk driving further and the only thing that came up on their diagnostic check was the camshaft sensor, nothing else. Towed into Aberdeen and following day took car to nearest citroen dealership - they insisted on performing their own check which (as far as we were made aware) also showed only the sensor problem. BUT they called to say mechanic suspected possible fault on ECU and would like to do further investigation at further cost - he was wrong and only camshaft sensor came up on second diagnostic check. They ordered and replaced this part, then came back saying this had not solved all the problems and they needed to fit a coil pack, spark plugs and air hose. We only serviced car in May and new plugs were fitted then so we are rather sceptical and feel we need extra help to challenge their findings. They have not informed us of actual readings, we live in Cumbria, car is in Aberdeen so we are slightly handicapped and unable to pop in to check on progress.
Hi..there thanks for your reply..
Ok i wasnt aware there would be distance problem..Usually in regards to camshaft sensor faults it either due to the sensor itself/wiring from the sensor/to ecu/out of sync with crank or that sensors at fault or in regards to possible mechanical fault/timing issues.there are a fair few differant codes that can all relate to the same sensor.Bar one or two codes P1327 which covers both Camshaft sensor and ignition coil the coil being the likly culprit if that code does come up,was that one you got.Any other issues as far as coil goes should of brought up other codes aswell as maybe codes related to the split airhose depending which hose they talking about etc.spark plug in general would really bring up a code cause there are no codes for spark plugs but im sure that would of been picked up by the AA i would suspect if there was a missfire present.without knowing the readings/or the actual code on the day of retrival by the AA then where pretty much in the dark as per exactly what the issue is..Im not sure whether you've taken this further with the dealers service/tech manager to get further info...?

(Originally Revealing Injury, but between Alien Blood and Bizarre Alien Biology, the alien and other creatures side was covered, so refocusing this to robots) So there's this person you've met. They look like a human, they act like a human, they talk like a human, and in your mind, they're very much a human. Then they get wounded, and instead of bleeding, they're releasing sparks. Apparently, the human you've been with was one of them cyborgs, Ridiculously Human Robots, or Mechanical Lifeforms. At this point, one of two things may happen. If the character is an enemy, this is the signal for The Hero to go all out in battle. After all, it's not human, who cares if it gets killed? If the character is an ally, this will lead to much angsting for everyone as they ask themselves What Measure Is a Non-Human?. Do We Have This One?? (More in reply)
Hello, Unknown Troper. You'll need to get known to lend a hand here.

- One of the characters in the first Wild Arms game is revealed to be not quite what they seem after he cuts off his arm to get away from the Big Bad. When the others treat the injury, sparks fly out, and they discover that his insides were made of the same properties as the Metal Demons.
- In Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha, one of the characters walk out of an explosion, covered in blood and one arm missing a large chunk of flesh, revealing the cybernetics underneath. Interestingly, there's no Artificial Human related angsting here, partly because most of the Nanoha cast aren't human, and partly because practically everyone in the crew knew before the viewers did.
The Alien series- a number of times.
Terminator 2 has the Terminator cut the skin off his arm deliberately to prove he isn't human. Of course, he could have been a human with an artificial arm but in any case he did prove he wasn't your ordinary person.
We have Alien Blood and Bizarre Alien Biology.
We also have Glamour Failure.
Somewhat inverted in Torchwood episode "Sleeper", where the alien character is detected not by her injuries but her lack of injuries from having a portable force field.
Happend in Funny Farm (the webcomic) like, TODAY... the stunning reveleation that Boe is Pete is tempered when a slap removes a layer of paint from his cheek...
Glamour Failure was my first thought.
Red Dwarf: in "Out of Time", Lister gets his arm cut, revealing mechanical parts. This trope is referenced in an episode of My Parents Are Aliens: Brian: Prick me! Do I not bleed? Josh: Yeah - but it's green.
A subtrope of Glamour Failure.
In the ST:TNG episode "Thine Own Self", Data is amnesiac because of (nonvisible) damage, and has gone native. A Revealing Injury shows the circuitry under his skin, much to the shock of all (Data himself included).
Wound Reveal? Happens in Armitage III with the titular character, made worse by the fact that it's her kid that sees it.
Rah Xephon. Aliens have blue blood, so that's how you tell them including the protagonist's mother.
Yeah, this is a specific form of Glamour Reveal. And looks like the alien and other creatures side of this has been covered by Alien Blood and Bizarre Alien Biology, but it doesn't seem like we have one for robots and cyborgs yet. Maybe this should be tweaked to include only those instances (Robotic Reveal)?
Another ST:TNG example is from the episode when Data's creator's wife (?) shows up, and while she's down on the planet she falls and turns out to be an android herself.
There was a Stargate SG 1 episode where this was combined with Tomato In The Mirror...
Okay, doesn't look like there are any problems with the modified Robotic Reveal, so will be launching this soon. Of the examples given, the ones that look like it fits the current trope are the ones from: Wild Arms Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha Terminator 2 Red Dwarf Star Trek:TNG. Both examples Armitage III Stargate SG 1 If I missed anything, please say so (Or just add it once the trope is launched. Either works <<)
Happened in Toys (I'll post the character in question once this is launched and I'm sure I can get a spoiler to behave)
Ichijo offhandedly reveals herself to be a robot in one episode of Paniponi Dash. But it's not like you can trust anything to do with Ichijo....

Wadadli Antigua
Rasta In Antigua
Rasta in Antigua and most of the other Caribbean islands is a direct offshoot of the larger and more established Rastafarian community in Jamaica. The concept emerged in Antigua in the early seventies, just after the start of the black power cultural revolution.
While the ACLM was gaining support for its black people empowerment agenda, a new spiritual consciousness was manifesting in the lives of many Ganja users and cultivators, who subsequently laid the foundation for the rise of Antigua Rastafari community.
As the new consciousness gradually spread it's way across the wider Caribbean islands, the evolving Rasta community in Antigua was slowly embracing the lifestyle, ideology and wide held belief of the Jamaican Rastafarians, that Emperor Haile Selassie is the king of kings, lord of Lords, and God of Gods.
Religious Ideology
Apparently, very few people knew about the Ethiopian Emperor Haile Selassie in Antigua at the time, so acknowledging him as God was not accepted by many. However, the idea was embraced by some, but was emphatically rejected by those who believe in the Christian religion definition of God almighty.
A strange paradox was unfolding in the Rastafari community religious beliefs and convictions. Apparently, for some Rastafarians, there's a clear distinction between man and God the divine, but many have a different perspective and perception of divinity, who belief that Haile Selassie is God!
It soon became obvious that Rasta was struggling to define its meaning and doctrine, so an ideological battle began among the brotherhood, with one group trying to assert authority over the other, proclaiming they are the only true and authentic Rastafarian.
Meaning & Definition
The meaning and definition of Rastafari remains an enigma that continue to bafel the comprehension of many. While some assume Rastafarian are dread locks people who worship Selassie, smoke weed and eat (Ital) vegetarian food, others claim Rasta is a new religion that derived its concept based on the integrity, and ostensible divinity of His Imperial Majesty Emperor Haile Selassie of Ethiopia.
Is Rasta a religion? Based on the religious convictions and christian traditions upheld by most rastas, one could easily assume that rasta is a religion, but many are not convinced. However, given the vague and ambiguous definition of Rastafari, no apparent distinction can be clearly derived, so Rasta is yet to define itself and it's doctrine, unequivocally.
Part two of this article is a brief synopsis of the different classes and categories of Rastafarian groups on the island of Antigua, during the 1970s and 80s.

Geri Anderson was at a luncheon with educators from all over the country when she heard that an Ohio group had received $12 million in grants from the U.S. Department of Labor.
Anderson, the vice president and provost for the Colorado Community College System, had done much of the writing for a coalition of western schools applying for a slice of $2 billion to be distributed over four years through 2014.
"When we heard (about Ohio), and we hadn't gotten any word, it was really sad," Anderson said. "I was so depressed that I ate three desserts."
As it turned out, because of media leaks in announcing the 2011 recipients, the Department of Labor had changed the notification procedure and was now calling state representatives individually, starting with the eastern part of the country and moving west.
About 20 minutes after the Ohio news, Anderson's phone rang, notifying her that the western entry had been awarded $14.2 million.
"Then I had to eat three more desserts to celebrate," Anderson chuckled.
The grant to the consortium of seven community colleges — one each from Alaska, Montana, South Dakota and Wyoming, plus Pueblo Community College, Otero Junior College and Red Rocks Community College in Colorado — will be used to enhance allied health-related programs.
The Colorado schools' share of the grant will be $10.5 million, with the money helping to establish online and classroom-based health-care certificate and degree programs in such areas as Health Information Technology and Emergency Medical Services.
In last year's competition, a Colorado Community College System-led consortium of 15 schools won $17.3 million in grants. That money was earmarked for enhancing energy-related programs, including partnerships with energy-related businesses, the community colleges and workforce centers to train unemployed and underemployed workers.
The four-year grant cycle is part of the Department of Labor's Trade Adjustment Assistance Community College and Career Training Initiative. Community-college systems in each state were guaranteed to receive a minimum of $2.5 million each year.
Colorado is one of 12 states that have topped the $30 million mark in grants in the first two years of the program. California has received $44.4 million, followed by Illinois at $43.1 million.
"It's a very competitive process, and many states didn't receive additional funding," said CCCS president Nancy McCallin. "It's very clear that the Department of Labor appreciates the consortium approach, because they have a greater impact."
In developing its proposals, CCCS gathered ideas from a variety of sources. According to McCallin, the system has 3,600 volunteers working in industry, with 1,800 people serving on post-secondary advisory committees.
When the time came to write the applications, each about 70 pages long, Anderson and her team had to answer questions dealing with areas like program objectives and the impact that could be had with money.
"They're looking at their return on their investment," Anderson said. "You hope that you articulate that passion, and pray that you've met all the requirements."
Next year's grant money will be connected to manufacturing, and Anderson says conversations are already taking place about shaping the application to insure that CCCS gets a piece of that pie.
"It would be foolish not to go after the money if it's out there," McCallin said. "We need to be as competitive as we can."

There is reliable information available regarding target populations for prevention activities and the additional risks faced by disadvantaged individuals, especially Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. Access this information when planning and reviewing preventive activities and assessing level of risk.
An effective strategy is to ask patients to complete a 'prevention survey' in the waiting room before they see you. The time in the consultation is therefore better spent providing information, exploring concerns or negotiating for a separate appointment if the prevention issue is likely to take more time. As the time a patient waits to see the doctor is a significant predictor of their level of satisfaction, getting them to provide you with this important information while they wait is beneficial.
The Patient Practice Prevention Survey (see Appendix 4) can be completed by patients in less than 4 minutes and contains appropriate prevention activities indicated by current evidence. You may also wish to directly ask patients whether they have considered particular prevention activities.
A GP recommendation or brief advice in many prevention areas frequently helps to redress patient concerns and misperceptions. There are a number of reasons why patients do not take up prevention activities.
In children, failure to immunise is often related to forgetting, missed opportunities, intercurrent illness or false contraindications (eg. presence of a URTI). In adults and the elderly, it is often due to patients forgetting, concern about side effects or bad reactions, or misconceptions about a vaccine (eg. effectiveness, getting the illness from the vaccine).
While most patients would agree that GPs have a role in assisting lifestyle change, they express considerable ambivalence about how GPs should approach this role. Many patients remain somewhat pessimistic about the potential impact of GP advice and would react if the GP offered advice regarding smoking cessation at every visit. Many smokers view seeking help or assistance as a sign of weakness or the need for a crutch. They believe they should be able to quit on their own, despite evidence to the contrary.141 A similar pattern emerges for patients who drink at hazardous levels. Both smoking and drinking are considered sensitive topics by both GPs and patients.
A number of factors influence the likelihood of an eligible woman to have a Pap test.142 Patients who have not had a recent Pap test are more likely to:
There are lower levels of Pap tests performed in eligible women if the GP:

text: Turkish firm invests in Ivorian urban water transport Thursday, February 13, 2014 A Turkish industrial group has invested $40 million in the urban water-transport sector in Abidjan. ABIDJAN, Ivory Coast - A Turkish industrial group has invested $40 million in the urban water-transport sector in Abidjan, the Ivory Coast's commercial hub, breaking a monopoly by state-owned transport company Sotra."The arrival of this new company will make life easier for Ivoirians who travel from the south to the north of the city every day in hectic conditions," Soumahoro Manssa Ben N'faly, president of the Ivory Coast Consumer Union, told Anadolu Agency on Thursday.Turkish group Yildirim has recently launched a transport company, Rainbow Line, in Abidjan.Group managing director Yuksel Yildirim, who took part in a Wednesday launch ceremony, said $40 million had been invested in the company.Yildirim said his group, which plans to open its regional office in Abidjan, was interested in pursuing energy and maritime port projects in the Ivory Coast's southwestern city of San Pedro.Rainbow Line, which will begin operating in April with a fleet of 45 commuter boats, is the first company authorized by the Ivorian government to compete with Sotra for urban water transport.According to N'faly, the Turkish company will offer travel options and competitive fares to Abidjan's roughly six million people, including some two and a half million commuters who move from one end of the city to the other each day for work and school."We expect Rainbow Line buses to be more modern and well equipped and to offer cheaper and on-time services," he told AA.Yildirim is one of the leading industrial groups in Turkey, boasting more than 6,000 employees on 5 continents.
