RIP Eddie Lewis – Busby Babes are never forgotten
It's a well known fact that anyone who has ever donned the famous red shirt of Manchester United is revered by fans long after they leave Old Trafford. Someone who was part of the first ever Busby Babes that was part of transforming the club into the world giant it is today, is even more so – which is why the passing of 76 year old Eddie Lewis in South Africa last week is mourned by the United family. He may not have been the best known member of the Babes but he was certainly one of the very first.

"You have to know when to kick ass and when to kiss ass." That Tweetable maxim was Leonard Stern's principal advice to me during the six years I worked for him at Village Voice Media.
Stern's mega-fortune began with Hartz Mountain, the pet products company he reportedly helped build by pressing supermarket managers to place his wares on the lower shelves "so the dogs can see them." His kick/kiss philosophy was nuanced: He gave complete editorial freedom to his papers but had no compunction about selling them to vulture capitalists at the very peak of the market in 1999, a minute and a half before the dot.com crash.
Stern didn't display the schadenfreude of French classical author Francois De La Rochefoucauld (who said, "It is not enough to succeed, others must fail"). But both reveal the zero-sum philosophy our culture has come to celebrate: You can win only if someone else loses–and if you want to reach the top, you must crush your competition.
Sometimes it's not so easy to tell a kick from a kiss. President Obama discovered this when he tried to establish macho cred in his handling of BP by telling NBC's Matt Lauer that he needed to meet with experts "to find out whose ass to kick." It came across as more obsequious than tough.
I'm not suggesting that ass-kicking is invariably wrong. I recently went to Spirit Rock Meditation Center in Woodacre, California, to attend a retreat on reversing the tendency to wish others ill. There, in the main hall, was a poster on handling the mountain lions that, legend has it, may be encountered at that bucolic spot. You'd think being stalked by a deadly cat would call for instant tail-turning. You'd be wrong, according to the poster, which instructs: "Do not run. Make eye contact. Raise your arms and wave them slowly. Speak loudly in a firm voice." If the animal attacks, fight back –humans have fought off these animals with "sticks, caps, jackets, gardening tools and bare hands." Who knew?
Of course, many situations–congressional seats, spots on the varsity team, records in the Top 10, Pulitzer Prizes–are by definition zero sum. If Democrats don't get down and dirty to counter Republican ruthlessness, for example, crucial legislation will continue to fail and the November mid-terms will be a disaster.
But do we have to revel in the act of burying those who fall short? Apparently so, according to such best-selling books as football legend Mike Ditka's In Life, First You Kick Ass (also a wine by the same name!) and Donald Trump's Think BIG and Kick Ass in Business and Life. Wildly successful TV franchises including Survivor,–whose contestants exult when kicking competitors off the island — and Trump's The Apprentice, with its triumphant tag line "You're Fired" — also stoke the ethos of glorying in your opponents' bad fortune.
It's even worse in sports, where a fantastic athlete or team is labeled a disgrace if they lose a hard-fought contest by a hair, as in the Netherlands' recent 1-0 World Cup loss to Spain and the Boston Celtics' narrow defeat by the LA Lakers in the NBA Finals. And just about every action movie from Westerns to the Rambo series to the Terminator franchise to last year's Kick Ass celebrates not just winning but sticking it to whomever doesn't. (Sequels often crank ass-kicking up a notch: Volume 2 of Mark Millar and John Romita Jr.'s movie-inspiring comic book series is Kick-Ass: Balls to the Wall.)
Is this just human nature, or can we be happy about our achievements without causing an equal amount of suffering in someone else?
At Spirit Rock, we practiced Metta, a Pali word usually translated as "lovingkindness" but–to steer clear of New Age/touchy-feeliness–better thought of as simple kindness or friendliness. Instead of focusing on, say, your breath or a mantra while meditating, you train the mind to concentrate on well-wishing towards yourself and others, including those with whom you have difficult relationships.
According to Rick Hanson, co-founder of the Wellspring Institute for Neuroscience and Contemplation, focusing on positive mental states creates grooves in the brain that can help reroute a lifetime of zero-sum conditioning. Buddhist teacher James Baraz, who led our Metta retreat and whose recent book Awakening Joy fleshes out these themes, suggests that noticing and appreciating moments of happiness or joy–even fleeting ones–just a few times a day can, within weeks, cause our everyday minds to incline more towards these states.
There's no avoiding the inevitable rough and tumble of life. But who needs Trump, trash sports talk and Survivor when you can learn all you need to know at Father Guido Sarducci's Five Minute University? Its entire business syllabus makes no mention of kicking or kissing and can be repeated twice in one Tweet: "You buy something, and you sell it for more."

Being a newcomer (relatively) to OC, and patiently adding my massive MP3 collection (after some serious tagging etc), I am curious as to why some MP3 albums can not be added, and the program just seems to ignore them.
Another niggle for me, is that OC adds an MP3 album but drops the added tagged artwork along with the track timings, probably happens about 5% of the time.
1311 albums in the collection to date.

Discover out market fee estimates for Ocean from anyplace to wherever on this planet, and Rail and Truck within the USA. That is each an environmentally friendly and value effective mode of land freight transport. Comply with the link for more info on the most effective but specific Truthfully, a shipping company's capability to deliver packages on time is crucial a part of your determination making process. As a result of most merchandise being sold in the present day consist of a wide range of materials, companies have started turning to particular sourcing entities who can deliver the supplies.
When you have the money circulate and sales volume, I'd highly suggest bulking up your order into a single LTL cargo (case packed) and send it that means as the cost savings of delivery would be cheaper than the inventory costs at Amazon. The variations of shipping new in comparison with used engines are easy but extraordinarily essential. In a world that lacks transport or freight, your entire economic system would be over; this publish will show you why.
Freight transport is the term used to describe all of the of the various methods companies and individuals transfer merchandise around the globe. There are 18 freight lessons starting from 50 (the least costly class) to 500 (the most costly class). Use the shipment density calculator to get the cubic measurement of your freight. Converse with our logistics professional's about your international ocean freight program right this moment!
The rationale for this disparity is that cargo shipping in domestic waters is normally more affordable than worldwide air transportation. In brief, the practices and timeliness of your transport firm replicate immediately on you and the way your prospects view you. In case you are an organization who does a variety of transport, be it to other companies or to your prospects, it is extremely important that you have a delivery company that may give you numerous various things.
Contact F reightCenter's Engine Shipping Experts to get a fast, free quote to ship your engine. Delivery an engine will typically happen with an LTL (less-than-truckload) or frequent carrier. Lengthy haul trucking is strictly what it appears like- carrying freight for lengthy distances and brief haul is in fact the other. Classifications of new engines can vary from class eighty five to 150 relying on how the engine is packaged and its value.

As the 2017 summer league season comes to an end, it is time to roll out CBBSN's collegiate summer league updates from around the country. Over the next several weeks, our scouts will be sharing how their school's players have fared over the season, and how they look to project going into fall practice.
The Razorbacks bounced back after a dismal 2016 season to finish the 2017 season at the top of the SEC, as they hosted a regional before losing to Missouri State in the Fayetteville Regional final. This summer, the Hogs sent 20 players to play summer ball all over the country, here's a look at how they fared.
Luke Bonfield, Wareham Gateman, Cape Cod Baseball League
Bonfield played for the Wareham Gateman on the Cape. Over 20 games, he did not fare very well, as he hit just .172 in 64 at-bats with no homers and 11 RBIs. Bonfield's success this spring in Fayetteville did not carry over to the summer but he will look to bounce back as the 2018 season approaches.
Dominic Fletcher, Orange County Riptide, California Collegiate League
Fletcher, one of the SEC's best freshman this past season, played for the Orange County Riptide of the California League. The California native hit .386 with six home runs and 30 RBIs in 114 at-bats this summer. The Riptide won the league and he was named the MVP of the CCL.
Grant Koch, USA Collegiate National Team
Koch, the Razorback catcher, played for Team USA and in 40 at-bats hit .400 with two homers, a double and nine RBIs. Koch was the Razorbacks' best hitter in the first-half of the season and then tapered off toward the end. This showing over the summer could lead to bigger and better things in his junior season in 2018.
Eric Cole, Rockford Rivets, Northwoods League
Eric Cole played for the Rockford Rivets of the Northwoods League where he hit .389 in nine games with three doubles and six RBIs. Cole looks to take control of a corner outfield spot headed into his junior season, but will have some heavy competition to earn the spot.
Evan Lee, Santa Barbara Foresters, California Collegiate League
In 28 games, Evan Lee hit .356 with no homers, 17 RBIs and 16 walks and was named an All-Star in California League. In 11 games pitching he had a 4-1 record with a 1.83 ERA in 34 1/3 innings pitched. Lee is looking to be an everyday corner outfielder for the Hogs next spring while also being a key bullpen piece.
Jordan McFarland, Conejo Oaks, California Collegiate League
In 19 games with Conejo, he hit .262 with 16 hits and eight RBIs while compiling 12 walks and three stolen bases. McFarland looks to be the starting first baseman this year as he sat behind the emergent star, Chad Spanberger, who was drafted by the Rockies this past June.
Jack Kenley, Victoria Generals, Texas Collegiate League
In 37 games, Kenley hit .319 with 13 extra base hits and an OPS of .914 and an OBP of .457. He played a couple games last season at third, and will compete for the starting third base spot with two others.
Jacob Kostyshock, Fon Du Lack Dock Spiders, Northwoods League
In three games, Kostyshock had a 2.70 ERA in 10 innings pitched. He struck out six and walked seven while giving up three earned runs. He will look to be a key bullpen piece for the Hogs next season.
Barret Loseke, Wareham Gateman, Cape Cod Baseball League
In five innings he gave up 12 runs on seven hits while walking nine. Loseke was usually the first guy out of the bullpen for head coach Dave van Horn, but this summer was not too promising that this role could continue for him.
Jackson Rutledge, Neptune Beach Pearl, California Collegiate League
In 11 1/3 innings, Rutledge gave up 14 runs on nine hits while striking out 15. He also walked 12 batters. Rutledge did not pitch for the Hogs last season, but looks to add depth to the bullpen next spring.
Anthony Dahl, Rockford Rivets, Northwoods League
In 14 innings, Dahl struck out 19 and walked two with an ERA of 0.64. On June 7th he was named the Northwoods League Pitcher of the Night, allowing five hits and striking out 13 in eight innings. Dahl has not made many appearances for the Razorbacks, as he has been injured and not done very well when he gets his opportunity. He looks to be healthy and could maybe crack the starting rotation next season.
Matt Burch, Lake Shore Chinooks, Northwoods League
In 16 games Burch had 10 hits with one extra base hit. He hit .196 with a .521 OPS. He played a couple games last season at third, and had some pinch-hit opportunities. Burch hopes to get in the competition at third base, or play a backup role to Carson Shaddy at second.
Matt Cronin, Holly Springs Salamanders, Coastal Plain League
Cronin pitched 18 1/3 innings giving up 14 hits and five runs while walking 11. He finished with a 1.96 ERA and an opponent's batting average of .222. Cronin came on late in the season and pitched well for the Hogs in the SEC Tournament and the NCAA Tournament out of the bullpen. He should be a key left arm out of the bullpen next spring.
Angus Denton, Conejo Oaks, California Collegiate League
Denton pitched 8 2/3 giving up six hits while striking out seven batters with a 4.15 ERA. He did not pitch very much last year. He made a few appearances in non-conference play, but never really pitched when conference play came. With some departures, he could become someone who comes out of the bullpen for van Horn.
The Hogs look to build upon their success they had in 2017 with the key pieces they have coming back. The bullpen needs some work but with the help of fall practice, I think they will come into their own and step up big for the Hogs in 2018.

One of the great things about the buffet table is that it offers so many tasty choices. We all have our own approach when wandering through the line. Some folks graze and nibble. Others fill their plates, sampling everything. If you're like me, you go through the line once, then head back for seconds or even grab dessert.
Recently, I attended my first Google Apps for Education 1:1 Summit in Napa with a team of educators from my district. The event offered a cornucopia of delicious offerings for every palette. We came away with a lot of resources and tools to use in our classrooms. Shout outs to the edu-awesome EdTechTeam (@edtechteam), especially Mark Wagner (@markwagner) and Michael Wacker (@mwacker) as well as North Bay CUE Rockstar Extraordinaire, Sergio Villegas (@awesomecoachv) from Napa Learns for setting such an impressive table.

[Non-existent picture of Robin Soderling looking sad on court]
I don't have a nifty picture of him. You can't be surprised.
Sod went down to Kohlschreiber in straight sets. Quite the shocker. I'm not sure anyone on the grounds really knew how the hell that happened. As it turns out, Sod is suffering from a left foot injury that made him doubtful for the match.
"I think I lost the match when I decided to go on court, because today I shouldn't have done that. Sitting here after the match, it feels like I couldn't give 100 percent. I think it's pretty stupid to play."
He'll have the foot examined in Miami.
Speaking of Miami, Ivo's on a mission to prove his wildcard denial was bunk. He backed up his win over Daveed by taking out Gilles in straight sets on Monday. Funny the little (or not so little) things that can motivate a player.
Finally, while some say that Donald Young came back to earth today in his 60 64 loss to Tommy, I just think the loss spoke volumes about how horribly Moose played on Saturday. However you spin it, he lost.
And there you have my round-up of players who I kinda don't really care to write about. As you can see, I put a lot of time and effort into this post. Look! I found you a quote!

Eleven members of the film industry founded the South African Society of Cinematographers in 1954.
Today we, the Society, are affiliated to all the major film producing countries in the world. Our membership stands at forty-two with certain members active in the United States, Canada, Australia and Great Britain.
The Society was established to advance the art and science of Cinematography and to encourage, foster and strive for excellence, artistic perfection and scientific knowledge in all matters pertaining to Cinematography. To bring together those leaders in Cinematography whose achievements in that field entitles them to membership in this Society, and to strive to maintain the highest possible standards, and that membership in this Society may become a mark of honour and distinction based on merit.
We have staged the SASC Visible Spectrum Awards, these awards celebrate and acknowledge the very best work produced by South African cinematographers. This is the only opportunity for cinematographers to show off their work, innovation and personalised styles and to see how it rates with their peers. It is also a chance to promote talent with the decision-makers of the South African Film and Television Industry.
Recognition by members of the SASC is the highest honour that can be bestowed on a South African cinematographer, a mark of prestige and distinction.
The evening is always a black tie affair with VIP guests from either the U.K. or U.S.A., members from the Department of Arts, Culture, Science and Technology and other high-ranking Government officials as well as top echelon members of the film and television industry. It rates highly on the social calendar. The award evening is also attended by the press and always has a chance of receiving a clip or two on television.
Next year, 2015, the South African Society of Cinematographers celebrates their sixtieth anniversary

We are finally back with yet another Oscars Countdown (we're 12 days away from the ceremony, by the way), and I would like to comment on Steve Jobs, which, in my humble opinion, is a waste of Michael Fassbender.
I started the movie full of huge expectations because I really appreciate good biopics and I have never seen the one with Ashton Kutcher, so I was ready to learn everything about Steve Jobs' life. Do you know what I learned? That the Macintosh computer really did not wanna say 'hello'. Now, I know that some of you may disagree, since the movie has a solid 7.4 score on IMDb, but I was extremely bored from the beginning to the end of the movie that frankly bashed late Steve Jobs portraying him as totally useless to Apple and a bad person in general. I honestly couldn't follow what was going on with his daughter either because it was so confusing. And Steve Wozniak even says "You are not a programmer, you are not an engineer, you are not a designer yet everyone says you're a genius. What exactly do you do?" Ouch. However, if he wasn't a useful man, I don't think there would be a biopic I could criticize right now.
So I'm thinking that I want to introduce the plot of the movie to you but, honestly.. I can't. It jumps around in time, making it difficult to follow, and it only shows a couple of product launches. Other than that, it's full of negative energy with people fighting, a lot of nasty comments, and a lot of bickering.
Do you remember Michael Fassbender in 12 Years A Slave? Well, you'll be disappointed – he is not even close to what he was in 12 Years A Slave. I don't know if it was bad casting, but I can't even imagine Christian Bale doing it better, as he was the first choice for the role. Fassbender's performance was average and, just like the rest of the movie, boring. The same goes for his award-winning co-star Kate Winslet, who didn't impress me either. Ironically enough, they're both nominated for Best Actor in a Leading Role and Best Actress in a Supporting Role, respectively. So, as you probably expected, this movie will get 1 out of 5 statues because it's much easier, cheaper, more interesting, and much more instructive to read Steve Jobs' Wikipedia page.

POLICE IN CALIFORNIA are investigating the death of an Irishman who was killed after being hit by a vehicle on Friday morning.
Police and paramedics found the 46-year-old, understood to be Clare native Brian McMahon, unconscious on the roadway at Devon Drive after 7.30am.
Life saving measures were started at the scene and he was taken to Kaiser Hospital where he was announced dead on arrival.
The driver remained on scene and called 911 to report the collision. A number of bystanders were also interviewed at the scene.
Police said that the driver cooperated fully with the investigation and "it appears that neither alcohol nor any other impairment was present or a factor" in the collision.
The vehicle involved was taken by police for inspection.
A spokesperson for the Irish Department of Foreign Affairs said the consulate is aware of the incident.

I awake to little foot steps down the hall and into my room.
I can feel his breath on my face as he leans in to be sure I am just where I am supposed to be.
He climbs up and into my bed, under the covers and as close to me as possible.
I turn around to face him and wrap my arms around his small body, rubbing his back.
He nuzzles his face into my neck and quickly goes back to sleep.
This little boy is such a gift to us.
I sometimes think about my life before he was here, my life before I became a special needs mom.
Everything was so simple then, and everything seemed so easy and so… small.
I didn't think so at the time, oh no, I complained and ranted about every little thing, I'm sure. But now, looking back, it was as if I were living in the dark, completely oblivious to the real world around me.
There is an awareness now that wasn't there before, apathy that wasn't there before, consideration that never existed in my thoughts or actions.
I feel so much, so, so, much more than I did before…I'm almost ashamed at my shallowness before ben came into my life.
Lying in my bed, snuggling with my baby boy, feeling his puppy breath on my face, his hands laced in mine, I cannot help but think of my little one across the globe.
There are thousands and thousands just like him.
I feel their yearning.
I feel their fear.
I feel their helplessness.
It knocks me down like a tall wave in a rumbling ocean.
I close my eyes and listen to ben's breath.
I inhale the smell of his hair and rub his back.
He sighs in his sleep, and I smile to myself.
And there, in the stillness of the night and the darkness of my room, I give thanks.
And there, in the stillness of the night and the darkness of my room, I give thanks.

This is one of several posts about a stiff, fragile low back. A stiff low back is usually a combination of a binding intervertebral joint with more than one muscles involved. If you have a stiff low back, you should compare these posts.
Client Description
These people complain of sharp pain in the low back that feels like it will "go out," as well as pain in the sacroiliac joint. This pattern is a combination of trigger points in two different muscles that become activate together. Sometimes, the stiff low back bothers them more, and the SI joint is achy. At times, the low back problem is sharp and debilitating. In other cases, the low back is stiff, and the SI joint is more bothersome. This person will tend to squat or reach to the side to pick up something off of a coffee table or chair instead of bending forward at the waist.
It usually bothers people more intensely in the morning and can make going to the bathroom at night a real problem. In severe cases, these people have trouble getting out of bed in the morning and may crawl to the bathroom. It often bothers them after they have been seated or for a while such as long car trips or a conference.
This condition commonly a occurs just after performing a task that involves teetering forward at the waist including, but not limited to; cutting grass, washing dishes, raking leaves, vacuuming or scrubbing a floor. It can also come from bending forward and reaching out awkwardly as when someone stacks dishes in the back of a low cabinet, especially when they twist while reaching out.
Self Care
The supine twist helps problems like this by mobilizing the binding vertebra. Twist slowly from side to side while holding your abdomen in. The tender vertebra will often click with a feeling of relief. Many clients find that doing this before getting out of bed offers relief when their low back problematic.
Bridging also helps, if it can be done without intense pain. I find them to be more effective when they are done in the Active Isolated Stretching method. Lift gently to the point of tension and only hold for about 2 seconds. If done properly, the range of motion increases each time. Raise 10-15 times or until the back arches slightly above the straight position like the person in this picture. I usually suggest that the person grips the back of their shoes, if possible. Some people have overly tight quads and cannot do that.
Icing helps to reduce pain and inflammation. Heat feels good when it is applied but makes the condition worse when inflammation occurs a few hours later. Vapocoolants like Icy-Hot offer temporary relief.
Avoid the offending exercises mentioned above until this your back has strengthened and stabilized.
Therapy Notes
This is a combination of two muscles that are affected by a binding lumbar vertebra; multifidus and quadratus lumborum. The sharp pains around the affected vertebrae, L3, are attributed to the multifidi. Other vertebrae may be binding and need treatment.
The QL creates the fragile low back with referral into the SI joint. The trigger point is in the deep, iliolumbar section of the QL at the L3 vertebra.
The lumbar vertebra has to be freed. It can be done in many ways; osseous adjustment, static pressure on the vertebra, METs, craniosacral work, etc. This is more likely to stabilize and have lasting relief when the pelvis, spine, and cranium are treated for distortions and restrictions as well.

The redesign of Liquid Force Wow wave kite
How much did the wow v4 design change from the wow v3 ?
What Changed?
Here is a list of the key changes on the Wow v4 compared to the Wow v3
For the WOW v4, we lengthed the wingtip to help the kite handle more rear line tension and more aggressive use of the profile in lightwind. You can now ride a slightly smaller kite in the wave and focus on your riding. The Raw power of the kite hasn't changed, but it's now possible to juice more power out of each size.
Ultra high-quality Teijin Triple Ripstop adds stiffness in the overall canopy profile and recuses flutter and canopy distortion for better airflow throughout the profile of the kite. Mixed with this our standard strut construction where the canopy connects on TOP of the strut, it reduces the canopy wrinkles around the struts to Leading Edge connections.
We redesigned the kite arc completely, giving it a boxy feel, especially in the wingtips. What that does, it maximizes the direct exposed horizontal canopy profile in the center of the kite for raw kite power and optimizes the vertical canopy profile in the wingtip for power and quickness throughout the kite turn radius. The kite turns even quicker with this boxey arc.
Cold Kiteboarding
Its safe to say, it's been a bit cold kiteboarding at home lately!

07 Nov Addressing the Drug Epidemic
Dr. Patrice M. Muchowski, Vice President of Clinical Services
By: Jennifer Daltorio
In the past year, medical and government institutions alike have responded to the drug epidemic plaguing the nation. Their attention to the health crisis has resulted in several significant advancements:
- In March, the CDC issued guidelines for primary care physicians on how to prescribe opioids to individuals with chronic pain.
These guidelines cautioned against prescribing opioids before attempting non-pharmacological and non-opioid treatments. They also discouraged using opioids as a stand-alone remedy. The recommendations also detail preferred opioid treatment strategies, as well as methods for monitoring and addressing risk of harm with patients.1
- Massachusetts Governor Charlie Baker signed legislation, also in March, that aims to prevent new cases of prescription drug misuse.
The law requires:
- Prescribers to evaluate patient risk for addiction and issue written pain-management agreements
- An implemented 7-day limitation on all first-time opioid prescriptions, unless prescribers document a medical reason for exemption
- The Department of Public Health to monitor and inform doctors annually if they've exceeded the average opioid prescription rate for their specialty. 2
- In May, The Food and Drug Administration approved a buprenorphine implant for opioid-related maintenance therapy. 3
Buprenorphine is a medication that acts on the same brain receptors as opiates like heroin or morphine. A partial agonist, buprenorphine reduces cravings while preventing the user from becoming high.
While originally approved by the FDA in 2002,4 buprenorphine was only produced as an oral medication which could be lost, forgotten, or stolen. An implant treatment option addresses these short-comings and provides patients with six months constant, worry-free relief.
- In July, the Comprehensive Addiction and Recovery Act was instated.
On July 13th, the Senate passed CARA, marking full Congressional approval for the bill. 5 Just over a week later, President Obama signed the measure into law on July 22nd despite calls for significantly increased funding.6
Financing disagreements aside, CARA is slated to have an immediate impact on the opioid crisis by expanding treatment options and supporting research initiatives.
- In August, Massachusetts announced an improved Prescription Drug Monitoring Program
The revamped PDMP, known as the Massachusetts Prescription Awareness Tool or MassPAT, was announced on August 22nd. In addition to being more user-friendly, the MassPAT system has more capabilities:
- Drugs with potential for misuse or addiction are tracked
- Doctors can view patient prescription history to avoid over-prescribing
- Massachusetts physicians can access medical information from Rhode Island, Connecticut, Vermont, and New York practices
Previous policy only required a PDMP check when doctors first prescribed a drug. However, as of October 15th, all doctors are required to check the system before prescribing any Schedule II or Schedule III drugs.7
- Unified state-wide opioid training for clinicians also announced on August 22nd
Building on earlier partnerships with the state's dental and medical schools, the state has partnered with clinicians' organizations to provide uniform opioid training for medical professionals within diverse specialties.
Participating in the new initiative are the Massachusetts League of Community Health Centers, the Massachusetts Association of Physician Assistants, and the Massachusetts Coalition of Nurse Practitioners. The cross-institutional training will enable caregivers to:
- Identify and evaluate patient risk of developing a substance use disorder
- Recommend safe pain management treatments
- Thoroughly understand patient medical records, family history, and PDMP records to assess individual risk
The goal of standardized and universal training is to reduce the rate of new substance use disorders. According to Governor Baker's office, the agreement is the first of its kind nationally.8
These policy changes are to be applauded, as they make significant strides in increasing access to treatment as well as reducing the availability of prescription opioids. While these are positive steps forward, the progress must continue from here.
"There is no one cause for the epidemic," says Dr. Patrice M. Muchowski, Vice President of Clinical Services at AdCare, a comprehensive provider of drug and alcohol treatment. Dr. Muchowski has specialized in addiction treatment for several decades and has a unique understanding of how we've arrived at this point.
"The current drug crisis is complex," says Dr. Muchowski. "There is no one route that leads to addiction, and there won't be one method of intervention to prevent this in the future."
Helping Those Who are Struggling
In order to help, it is crucial to see beyond the statistics. The 21.5 million Americans struggling with a substance use disorder are all PEOPLE, individuals with goals and dreams that are often shattered because of their disease. These individuals did not 'choose' to have a devastating and life-threatening health problem. Even individuals who don't seek abstinence from drugs are looking for 'safe' and 'normal' ways to use, because life without the substance seems impossible.
Patients entering AdCare, and treatment centers across the country, come from all walks of life. While all have reached the crossroads of an addiction, the paths that led them to this point vary. For some, the normalcy of substances and their accessibility led to a downward spiral. For others, increased use of legal substances led to physical and/or psychological dependence. Others suffered from medical conditions and were issued prescriptions that later become problematic. Others still turned to alcohol or drugs as a way to cope with life's harsh realities: trauma, mental illness, poverty, and chronic pain to name a few.
Regardless of the initial cause, the outcome is the same. Prolonged use of alcohol and drugs alters brain chemistry, changing neural pathways and functionality in ways that can be permanent. These changes in brain chemistry have led to understanding addiction not as a moral short-coming, but as a chronic disease.
Treating Addiction like Other Chronic Diseases
Now that it is understood as a chronic condition, it is imperative to provide treatment for addiction in the same manner as other chronic diseases. For instance, early and regular screenings are vital so intervention can occur at the earliest possible stage.
"I would like to see alcohol and drug assessment and intervention integrated into mainstream healthcare," says Dr. Muchowski. "Ideally, your primary care physician should be the first line of defense. He or she should have the knowledge and resources to identify a potential substance use disorder and step in before it becomes a problem."
Conducting alcohol and drug assessments, urine toxicology tests, and other lab tests during an annual physical would enable primary care doctors to identify early signs of problematic use. It would also provide an opportunity for an open, judgement-free dialogue between patient and physician.
Unlike other chronic diseases, individuals struggling with substance use are often blamed when problems resurface, despite the fact that re-occurrence is characteristic of chronic conditions. Incorporating early screenings and regular follow-up assessments with one's primary care would help eradicate the stigma and misinformation surrounding addiction.
Chronic conditions require ongoing and life-long treatment, and this is no different for those with a substance use disorder. The type, intensity, and frequency of treatment will vary as time goes on, but it is vital that individuals have access to care, as treatment allows individuals to lead full, productive lives.
By utilizing a pre-existing and universal health resource, prevention and intervention efforts could be expanded. With increased opportunity for early detection, more individuals could avoid altered brain chemistry. This in turn would drastically reduce the number of people in need of life-long treatment.
Reforming Current Healthcare Practices
In addition to expanding treatment resources and the breadth of health institutions involved in addiction care, current medical practices need to be changed. Over the past decade, doctors and other medical practitioners have over-prescribed dangerous opioid-based medications. This is largely a result of misleading marketing and misinformation from drug companies, who promoted their products as safe and effective for a wide array of health problems. The result: a devastating number of people are struggling with prescription drug use. And many who began with prescription drugs later turned to heroin when prescriptions were no longer available.
"The earlier we begin educating future prescribers and medical professionals about alcohol and drug addiction, the better," says Dr. Muchowski. "Prescriptions are often seen as solutions, but they can also cause significant harm. The medical community at large needs to be aware of these risks, as well as the appropriate circumstances and methods for prescribing potentially harmful drugs."
The Impact of Availability
The over-prescribing and increased availability of opioids has caused irreparable harm to countless individuals and families. Yet drug availability may increase in Massachusetts, with the upcoming vote on the legalization of marijuana. It is an issue Dr. Muchowski has a firm stance on.
"For many people, legalization implies that the substance is safe," says Dr. Muchowski. "People have a more difficult time seeing their use as problematic, even when it puts their safety at risk."
Increased availability of a substance (in this case, through legalization) results in increased use. Elevated use increases the likelihood of at-risk individuals developing a substance use disorder, as it did with the over-prescribing of opioids.
While the long-term impact of legalized recreational marijuana is unknown, reports from Colorado on the short-term impact demonstrate significant consequences of expanded availability. This, in conjunction with the resulting crisis caused in part by increased opioid availability, should give us pause.
The current opioid crisis has taught us important lessons. It reinforced the knowledge that addiction is a chronic disease with no immunity. The crisis has demonstrated how increased drug potency accelerates the progression of substance use disorders. It has also illuminated the breadth of resources needed to address substance use: prevention programs, intervention resources, and treatment programs.
While prevention and intervention initiatives continue to be strengthened, treatment is already available for those who are struggling. We are here, ready to meet you were you are. We are here, with our hand extended, to help you regain your life, your health, and your happiness.

The second installment of the Trylle trilogy picks up right where the first (Switched, 2012) left off, with 17-year-old Wendy Everly returning home to her "host brother" after disappearing without a trace almost a month prior.
Before Matt has time to digest the fact that his little sister is actually a changeling Trylle princess with "mild superpowers," they are kidnapped, and Wendy finds herself once again at the center of an "epic troll battle." Fans of the series will enjoy watching on as Wendy continues to wrestle with issues of belonging, particularly when both the Trylle and the Vittra claim her as their chosen one. Though she is stronger in this installment and gradually learning to harness and control her powers, there is still plenty Wendy must overcome. Not only are there big-time mommy/daddy issues to resolve, but also matters of the heart that will keep both Wendy and readers happily entertained. While the writing certainly lacks the depth and polish it takes to win major literary awards, there is no denying that Hocking knows how to tell a good story and keep readers coming back for more.
More is exactly what they will be looking for once they've turned the last page. (Paranormal romance. 14 & up)

Published at Monday, August 05th, 2019 - 09:29:51 AM. Bedding. By Karine Crozier.
If you have a small bedroom, or if you just want to free up space, you should look into getting a loft bed. With standard beds, a lot of space is wasted. Beds have a large footprint, and there's just not a lot you can do with the space above a bed. You can use the space under your bed for storage, but often this space is small. And underbed storage is different from having a functional, usable space. With loft beds, the footprint of your bed is basically reduced to zero because the area that the bed occupies can still be put to other uses.
Double beds: It is a standard unit suitable for two people where you can sleep comfortably. The size of the bed is appropriate to accommodate two people at an ease. It also comes with and without storage. The design is elegant and gives a better appearance to your room. You can visualize your room to be equipped with beautiful furniture unit.

This image might look pretty, but it holds a glum message: it shows that the Antarctic ice sheet is now losing 159 billion tonnes of ice each year.
We already knew that Antarctica was melting, but this image—created by a team of scientists from the UK's Centre for Polar Observation and Modelling using data from CryoSat—shows exactly where it's happening. Cryosat is a satellite that carries a radar altimeter capable of measuring the surface height variation of ice in fine detail— allowing scientists to record changes in ice volume.
The results show that Antarctica's ice sheet is now losing 159 billion tonnes of ice a year – twice as much as when it was last surveyed. Dr Malcolm McMillan, lead author of the study, explains:
"We find that ice losses continue to be most pronounced along the fast-flowing ice streams of the Amundsen Sea sector, with thinning rates of 4-8 m per year near to the grounding lines – where the ice streams lift up off the land and begin to float out over the ocean – of the Pine Island, Thwaites and Smith Glaciers."
Those losses alone are enough to raise global sea levels by 0.45 millimetres each year—and it shows no signs of slowing unless we do something drastic. [ESA]

At 833 pages, Evolution by Barton et al. is a large book, and it is copiously and helpfully illustrated with photos, figures and line drawings, mostly in color. The lion's share consists of Part II, The Origin and Diversification of Life, and Part III, Evolutionary Processes. The three chapters of Part I introduce the history of evolutionary biology, including molecular biology, and the evidence for evolution. The final two chapters, in Part IV, provide an excellent, uptodate summary of human evolution. The discussion of the OutofAfrica and multiregional hypotheses of the origin of modern humans is nuanced rather than dogmatic. A section on Genomics and Humanness is brief but incisive. The final chapter on Current Issues in Human Evolution is exemplary and can be profitably read by medical geneticists seeking to establish associations between genes and diseases.
The expertise of Barton et al. in population and evolutionary genetics is eminently displayed in Part III, which makes up somewhat more than half of Evolution. All the bases are covered, and well covered at that: mutation and variation, population structure, random drift and gene flow, selection, social evolution, speciation, and much more...The last two chapters of Part III, Evolution of Genetic Systems and Evolution of Novelty, are priceless. In length, depth and excitement, these two chapters go far beyond what is typically covered in evolution textbooks. The increasingly relevant topic of the evolution of evolvability is helpfully included, and evodevo considerations are again brought to bear in these chapters.
Francisco J. Ayala, University of California, Irvine (Nature Genetics)
This new [textbook in evolutionary biology] by Barton and colleagues is among the best. The production quality is superb in layout, composition, typesetting, colour palette, illustrations and gorgeous half-tones; and the writing is excellent, as one might expect from such a stellar cast of experts in population genetics, palaeontology, human genetics, bacterial genomics and developmental biology (respectively).
Daniel Hartl, Harvard University (Nature)
The book has many strengths. The prose is crisp and explanations are rigorous but clear. The authors do not hesitate to discuss complex ideas or to provide appropriate caveats about the certainty of our knowledge. The Figures are useful and abundant...The expertise of the authors in quantitative, population, and developmental genetics is obvious; explanations are often less formal than in other texts, but at the same time are more sophisticated and more intuitive. The chapters on diversity include a detailed but engaging introduction to the genetics and genomics of bacterial and archaeal diversity, the origins of multicellularity, and the evolution of novelty inferred from both fossil data and from developmental biology. Although I had assured myself that I would not read the text word-for-word, I found myself deeply immersed in many chapters and read them from beginning to end. The material was not new (for me), but the descriptions and explanations seemed fresher and more compelling than in other current evolution texts. The explicit focus on questions at the molecular level determines the use of examples throughout the text, but these examples come from basic biology, not biomedical science. This book will be particularly attractive to molecular biologists who want to learn the details of evolutionary pattern and process. It may also be the book of choice for evolutionary biology graduate students with interests in population genetics, evo-devo, and molecular evolution.
Richard G. Harrison, Cornell University, Ithaca (Evolution)
For a comprehensive modern view of evolution, I could do no better than Evolution by Barton, Briggs, Eisen, Goldstein and Patel...The book aims to integrate molecular and evolutionary biology into a coherent evolutionary perspective of life on Earth, and it achieves this ambitious aim.
Michael Majerusa, University of Cambridge, UK (Trends in Ecology and Evolution)
Overall, I find this the best undergraduate textbook on modern evolutionary biology currently available because it achieves an excellent integration of classical approaches to the study of evolution with the techniques of modern molecular genetics that have transformed it, namely the use of genetic sequences, genetic markers, and genetic manipulation. The writing is consistently clear, the figures and their captions mesh very well and are pedagogically effective, and the topics covered include essentially every area of evolutionary biology being advanced by molecular genetic techniques...
This volume will surely be useful in providing background information for the discussion of many individual topics in graduate or advanced undergraduate seminars in evolutionary biology.
William F. Zimmerman, Amherst College (The Quarterly Review of Biology)
By integrating molecular biology and evolutionary biology, the authors exploit a relatively unfilled niche for evolution texts. Smaller works exist in this area, but they cannot compare with this monumental effort to convey the current state of a burgeoning field. Thankfully, the authors devote ample attention to the pillars of evolutionary biology while making evolutionary biology more interesting to molecularly minded students, thereby spreading Dobzhanskys message that nothing makes sense except in the light of evolution.
Overall, Evolution is well-written, with a nice progression in many chapters from anecdotal points through more didactic renderings of the general principles....The figures are generally quite clear, and illustrate many to most of the major points that need visual aids for understanding.
This is an entertaining textbook that is well-timed to take advantage of major trends in the genomics era. Readers who are established biologists will find much to learn from disciplines they do not normally follow, while students will find the approach to evolutionary biology includes many of the modern tools they might not find in other texts on the subject. This book can also be warmly recommended to medical school faculty and clinical investigators seeking an up-to-date look at the most modern chapter in the modern synthesis of evolutionary biology.
As humanity acquires more scientific knowledge, there has been a natural trend towards increasing specialization among professional scientists, and yet it feels as though the past decade has been marked by a re-emphasis on the utility of interdisciplinary approaches to biological research. With this in mind, I highly recommend Evolution for biologists of all stripes, as virtually everyone will learn something from this surprisingly appealing textbook.
Oliver Rando, The FASEB Journal
I have always trusted and respected Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory, and I really like the modern relevance of the text and the seamless inclusion of molecular biology throughout the text.

Olivia Wilde isn't worried about having turned 30-years-old and she believes it provides her with more opportunities in life. The 'Drinking Buddies' beauty has admitted she has no qualms about reaching 30-years-old as she thinks it provides her with more opportunities in life. She told Elle magazine: ''I think at 30 you say, it's my life and I live it for me.
''So now, my thirties seem like this great opportunity to develop the experience and wisdom that will allow me to have an even greater decade in my forties. Thirties feel like a fertile ground.''
Meanwhile, the 30-year-old actress previously admitted she feels ''more fulfilled'' in life as she ages. She shared: ''I've embraced aging from both identities, as a woman and as an actress. Honestly, wisdom allows you to have a more fulfilled life.''
However, Olivia has insisted she would never go under the knife to keep herself looking good. She explained: ''I am so saddened and grossed out by young women who look like creepy, old aliens because of their new Barbie noses and lips. Is that a smile or a grimace? Did you melt hot wax on your face, or is that your skin? ''A better approach: Take care of yourself now that you're old enough to know how.
Drink water, sleep eight hours (I wish), and don't go within 400 feet of a tanning booth or I'll slap you.''

Diana Dean. [Source: Seattle Times]Al-Qaeda operative Ahmed Ressam is arrested in Port Angeles, Washington, attempting to enter the US with components of explosive devices. One hundred and thirty pounds of bomb-making chemicals and detonator components are found inside his rental car. He subsequently admits he planned to bomb Los Angeles International Airport on December 31, 1999. [New York Times, 12/30/2001] Alert border patrol agent Diana Dean stops him; she and other agents nationwide had been warned recently to look for suspicious activity. Ressam's bombing would have been part of a wave of attacks against US targets over the New Year's weekend (see December 15-31, 1999). He is later connected to al-Qaeda and convicted.

After Zacarias Moussaoui is arrested (see August 16, 2001), the FBI's Minneapolis field office becomes very concerned that he may be part of a larger operation involving hijacked aircraft and that he represents a real threat to US national security. One of the agents, Harry Samit, will later say that he and his colleagues are "obsessed" with Moussaoui. Samit sends over 70 communications warning about Moussaoui to the following: The Hezbollah, bin Laden, and Radical Fundamentalist Units at FBI headquarters (see August 20-September 11, 2001); Another FBI field office (see August 23, 2001); The CIA (see August 24, 2001); The FBI's offices in Paris and London; The FAA; The Secret Service; The Immigration and Naturalization Service; and Another intelligence agency (possibly the National Security Agency). While some of these bodies are responsive (see August 22, 2001 and August 24, 2001), Samit and his colleagues in Minnesota are forced to engage in a running battle with the Radical Fundamentalist Unit (RFU) at FBI headquarters, which obstructs their attempts to obtain a warrant to search Moussaoui's belongings. Samit will later accuse the RFU of "criminal negligence" because they were trying to "run out the clock" to deport Moussaoui, instead of prosecuting him.

Hussein al-Attas. [Source: Public domain]Hours after Zacarias Moussaoui is taken into custody in Minnesota, his friend and roommate Hussein al-Attas is interviewed by the FBI. The two men had recently driven together to Minnesota from Oklahoma (see August 10-11, 2001). According to a summary of the interview written at the time, "Al-Attas indicated that Moussaoui believes that it is acceptable to kill civilians who harm Muslims and that he approves of martyrs." Al-Attas says Moussaoui talked about holy war every day when they roomed together. When asked if he had ever heard Moussaoui make a plan to kill those who harm Muslims, "Al-Attas admit[s] that he may have heard him do so, but that because it is not in [al-Attas'] own heart to carry out acts of this nature, he claimed that he kept himself from actually hearing and understanding." Al-Attas says Moussaoui holds strong anti-American views and might be willing to act on his beliefs. Al-Attas describes Moussaoui as so secretive that he refuses to give his full name, identifying himself only as "Shaqil." He also says that Moussaoui told him "true" Muslims must prepare themselves to fight and they should understand the suffering of Muslims in places like Palestine and Kosovo. He mentions that he and Moussaoui are carrying fighting gloves and shin guards to practice martial arts as part of Moussaoui's philosophy that Muslims should be ready to fight nonbelievers. He has not heard Moussaoui mention any specific terrorist plot, but says that Moussaoui "is suspicious to me, too." FBI agents interview al-Attas again the following day, then charge him with violating the terms of his student visa by working at a mosque in Oklahoma, and arrest him. During the second interview, al-Attas says that Moussaoui follows the teachings of a sheikh whose name he would not disclose to him (see August 17, 2001). The agents contact FBI supervisors in Washington to seek approval to get a warrant to search Moussaoui's computer. The supervisors are aware of what al-Attas said in the interview, but nevertheless they tell the Minnesota FBI agents that they do not want to attempt to get the warrant because it has not been shown that Moussaoui is an agent of a foreign power. The New York Times will note that the content of al-Attas' interview "raise[s] new questions about whether top [FBI] officials… were aggressive enough in responding to that information." [Washington Post, 1/31/2002; New York Times, 5/24/2002; Associated Press, 3/21/2006] Al-Attas will be arrested shortly after 9/11 and held as a material witness. He will later plead guilty to lying about Moussaoui. He lied in claiming that he did not know Moussaoui's real name, lied about plans to go with Moussaoui to New York City in late August 2001, lied about Moussaoui's desire to participate in holy war, and lied about a planned trip to speak to religious scholars who would encourage al-Attas to participate in holy war. He will be sentenced to time served, but will be kept imprisoned until the conclusion of Moussaoui's trial in 2006 (see March 6-May 4, 2006). [Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, 7/22/2002; Associated Press, 10/22/2002] It is also later revealed that Moussaoui had recently convinced al-Attas to fight in Chechnya in order to prepare for holy war. [Wall Street Journal, 2/4/2002] Furthermore, the person who attempts to post bond for al-Attas had been the subject of a full-field FBI international terrorism investigation in Oklahoma. This unnamed person was a recruiter for a radical Palestinian group and a member of the Muslim Brotherhood. [US Congress, 7/24/2003] In post-9/11 media accounts, al-Attas is generally portrayed as someone who had been innocently and accidentally caught up with Moussaoui. But it appears that in the weeks before 9/11, US intelligence will consider the possibility that al-Attas may have been plotting with Moussaoui. For instance, a CIA cable that will be sent on August 24 is titled "Subjects Involved in Suspicious 747 Flight Training," (see August 24, 2001) one that will be sent on August 28 has Moussaoui and al-Attas' names as the title.

Zacarias Moussaoui's roommate, Hussein al-Attas, makes thirteen phone calls from jail to El Hadj Ndiaye, the imam of his local mosque in Norman, Oklahoma looking for assistance in raising money for his bond. Al-Attas was arrested and jailed shortly after Moussaoui was detained (see August 16, 2001 and August 16, 2001). Ndiaye reportedly becomes "very upset" when he hears that Moussoaui is going to be deported. According to an FBI translation of one of these conversations, Ndiaye says, "I heard you guys wanted to go on jihad." Al-Attas responds, "Don't talk about that now." [US Department of Justice, 11/2004, pp. 134, 167-8, 201 ; US Department of Justice, 3/1/2006 ; US District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia, Alexandria Division, 7/31/2006 ] The Radical Fundamentalist Unit (RFU) at FBI headquarters learns of the translated conversation on August 29 (see August 29, 2001), but the RFU chief downplays the significance of the reference to jihad. Two other people involved in posting the bond for al-Attas were the subject of counterterrorism investigations (see August 20, 2001 and August 23, 2001).

At a meeting attended by Mike Maltbie of the Radical Fundamentalist Unit (RFU), RFU chief Dave Frasca, FBI agent Rita Flack, and an FAA representative who is familiar with the Moussaoui case, a decision is made not to advise the FAA about the Moussaoui investigation at this point because Moussaoui and Al-Attas are presumably in custody. (Al-Attas is bailed out of custody on August 20) [US Department of Justice, 11/2004, pp. 134, 149-150 ; US Department of Justice, 3/1/2006 ] Al-Attas is suspected of involvement in terrorism at this point and investigators believe he and Moussaoui may be involved in a plot against the US that involves the hijacking of an airplane (see August 17, 2001 and August 24, 2001). The FBI will eventually warn the FAA, but it will fail to mention that its Minneapolis office believes Moussaoui intends to hijack an airliner (see September 4, 2001).

Margaret Gillespie, an FBI agent detailed to the CIA who has just found out that future 9/11 hijacker Khalid Almihdhar is in the US (see August 21-22, 2001), suggests asking failed Millennium bomber Ahmed Ressam whether he recognizes Almihdhar, but the proposal is not acted on. Ressam was arrested on his way to bomb Los Angeles airport (see December 14, 1999), but has been co-operating with the US government against al-Qaeda (see May 30, 2001). Gillespie makes the suggestion in an e-mail to Tom Wilshire, a CIA representative to the FBI. It is unclear what Wilshire does with the suggestion, but Ressam is not interviewed. When shown photos of Almihdhar after 9/11, Ressam will not recognize him. The FBI also fails to ask Ressam about Zacarias Moussaoui before 9/11, but shortly after 9/11 Ressam will identity Moussaoui as a person that attended al-Qaeda's camps in Afghanistan (see Late August-Early September 2001).

Frustrated with the lack of response from FBI headquarters about Zacarias Moussaoui, the Minnesota FBI contacts an FBI agent working with the CIA's Counterterrorism Center, and asks for help. [US Congress, 10/17/2002] On this day, the CIA sends a cable to stations and bases overseas requesting information about Moussaoui. The cable is titled, "Subjects Involved in Suspicious 747 Flight Training." The cable says that the FBI is investigating Moussaoui for possible involvement in the planning of a terrorist attack and mentions his efforts to obtain flight training. It also suggests he might be "involved in a larger plot to target airlines traveling from Europe to the US." [US Congress, 9/18/2002; 9/11 Commission, 7/24/2004, pp. 540] It calls him a "suspect 747 airline attacker" and a "suspect airline suicide hijacker"—showing that the form of the 9/11 attack is not a surprise, at least to the CIA. [US Congress, 10/17/2002] FBI headquarters responds by chastising the Minnesota FBI for notifying the CIA without approval. [Time, 5/21/2002]

The FBI fails to ask Ahmed Ressam, an al-Qaeda operative arrested during the Millennium alert (see December 14, 1999), whether he can identify Zacarias Moussaoui. Agents in Seattle holding Ressam receive a general notification about the Moussaoui case, but it lacks urgency and they do not follow up on it with Ressam (see September 4, 2001). When asked shortly after 9/11, Ressam will say he recognizes Moussaoui from al-Qaeda's training camps in Afghanistan. The 9/11 Commission will conclude that had Ressam been shown photos of Moussaoui and identified him before 9/11, the FBI would have been able to search his belongings. The belongings contain enough information to potentially prevent 9/11 (see August 16, 2001). The FBI also fails to ask Ressam whether he recognizes Khalid Almihdhar at this time, although Ressam has never met Almihdhar and will not identify him after 9/11 (see August 21, 2001).

Harry Samit, an agent at the FBI's Minneapolis field office, drafts a memo to the FAA summarizing the facts of the Zacarias Moussaoui case. In it, he writes, "Minneapolis believes that Moussaoui, [his roommate Hussein] al-Attas, and others not yet known were engaged in preparing to seize a Boeing 747-400 in commission of a terrorist act. As Moussaoui denied requests for consent to search his belongings and was arrested before sufficient evidence of criminal activity was revealed, it is not known how far advanced were his plans to do so." He also mentions Moussaoui's physical and marital arts training and expresses concern that France, where Moussaoui will soon be deported, may not be able to hold him or his property for long. But Mike Maltbie of the FBI's Radical Fundamentalist Unit (RFU) instructs the Minneapolis field office not to send the memo because he is also drafting a memo on the Moussaoui case that will be sent to the FAA and other agencies. However Maltbie's memo lacks a threat assessment and does not mention Minneapolis' suspicions that Moussaoui might be planning a terrorist act involving a hijacked airplane. The memo does not result in any FAA action. [US Department of Justice, 11/2004, pp. 174-7 ; Los Angeles Times, 3/20/2006] A meeting between Samit and a Minneapolis FAA officer will also fail to produce any FAA action (see September 4, 2001).

FBI headquarters dispatches a memo to the entire US intelligence community summarizing what has been learned about Zacarias Moussaoui. The memo, written by Mike Maltbie, an agent in the FBI's Radical Fundamentalist Unit (RFU), reports that the FBI has become suspicious of Moussaoui because he took flight simulation training for a 747 jet, a course normally taken by airline pilots. Moussaoui, who has no flying experience, paid cash for the training, the memo also notes. It also says that Moussaoui has radical Islamic fundamentalist beliefs and has been linked to Chechen militants. However, the memo does not include a threat assessment or indicate that some FBI investigators believe Moussaoui is part of a yet unknown plot to hijack an airplane and use it in a terrorist attack. As a later congressional inquiry will report, the memo fails to "recommend that the addressees take any action or look for any additional indicators of a terrorist attack, nor [does] it provide any analysis of a possible hijacking threat or provide any specific warnings." [US Congress, 9/24/2002; US Department of Justice, 11/2004, pp. 175-6 ] Several days earlier, Maltbie blocked the release of a memo from the FBI's Minneapolis field office that was addressed to the FAA and did contain a threat assessment (see August 29-September 4, 2001). When the FAA receives the FBI memo, it decides not to issue a security alert to the nation's airports in response. An FAA representative later explains to the New York Post, "[Moussaoui] was in jail and there was no evidence he was connected to other people." [New York Post, 5/21/2002] The FBI memo contrasts sharply with an internal CIA warning sent out on August 24. That memo, which was based on less information, warned that Moussaoui might be "involved in a larger plot to target airlines traveling from Europe to the US" (see August 24, 2001). [US Congress, 9/18/2002] It turns out that prior to this time, al-Qaeda operative Ahmed Ressam had started cooperating with investigators. He had trained with Moussaoui in Afghanistan and will willingly share this information after 9/11. The FBI dispatch, with its notable lack of urgency and details, fails to prompt the agents in Seattle holding Ressam to question him about Moussaoui. Had the connection between these two men been learned before 9/11, presumably the search warrant for Moussaoui would have been approved and the 9/11 plot might have unraveled (see Late August-Early September 2001).

Intensive Marathon Couples Therapy
Marathon Couples Therapy is an innovative and highly successful approach to couple distress recovery that consists of 2 days in which you and your partner engage in intensive marital therapy for 6 – 7 hours per day broken down into 4 x 90 – 120 minute sessions with one of our highly trained and experienced therapists. This is a very intensive process so the day is split with regular breaks and opportunities to take time out and enjoy your beautiful beach side surroundings at Burleigh Heads, QLD, Australia.
During your marathon, you work together with your therapist to learn new skills to:
- Transform inevitable relationship conflicts so you can build solid bridges between the two of you
- Deepen your understanding of one another
- Repair old hurts and resentments
- Unearth the values and life purpose you share
- Strengthen your friendship
- Spice up your intimacy
Prior to your marathon we email you and your partner a number of questionnaires for each of you to complete. Sometimes these can feel onerous to complete but, these questionnaires help us to understand both your individual histories and the history of your relationship as well as some of the main issues that have developed over time and bring you to couples therapy now. It also helps us fasttrack your therapy. The more detail you include in these questionnaires the better we will be able to get to the heart of matters.
Following your marathon we usually recommend a few appointments either in person or via web conferencing a fortnight later and then monthly "top-up" web conferencing appointments until you both feel like you can implement the relationship processes consistently well. These additional sessions are charged at $200 per hour. Couples who have engaged in this process in the past have reported that while the 2 days were taxing, they were able to process a range of unresolved issues, "leave the baggage behind" and go home with a renewed sense of commitment, closeness and hope for building a closer, more satisfying and intimate relationship together. On-going web conferencing sessions help to consolidate these gains and reinforce the skilful use of new communication strategies and behaviours.
Once you have made a decision to engage in marathon therapy it is very important that you try to "call a truce" on any on-going issues in your relationship for the time being. Marathon therapy is a commitment to re-build your relationship and the process begins right now. Whatever issues you are currently struggling with will be addressed over our two days together in a way that allows both of you to feel heard, understood and validated. Effectively, what this means is that for the next few weeks until we get started you can 'shelve' your problems knowing that they will be addressed then, and now is an opportunity for you to have a break from working on those concerns and instead focus on what you would like to build once we have effectively dealt with them together.
The cost of your marathon includes a thorough pre-marathon assessment process, 2 full intensive days working on your relationship in a safe, calm, professional and private environment with the full attention of one of our highly trained and experienced clinicians, a toolkit full of resources and information to take home that assists you to continue to deepen your emotional connection and master the skills for constructively managing conflict. Marathons conducted Monday to Friday cost $4000, marathons conducted on weekends cost $5000. $500 is paid as a deposit to confirm your dates and is refundable (less costs already incurred) up to one week prior to your dates. Please note: travel and accommodation costs are the responsibility of the clients. For more information please email firstname.lastname@example.com or email@example.com
We have both male and female therapists who are both Certified Gottman Marital Therapists and have completed additional training in Emotion Focussed Therapy for Couples. You can find more information on our About Us Page

Hong Kong: Café de Coral
I don't really have list of must try restaurant in Hong Kong because I know we will just it wherever and whenever we're hungry but there is one fastfood that we frequently visit whenever we're is TST area. During our first day, we ate our lunch in McDonalds and for dinner my husband bought some food in one local restaurant which I didn't enjoy.
Prior to the trip I've read so much about Café de Coral so the following day I searched for Tsim Sha Tsui branches and fortunately we found it. Since then, we did not try other restaurant in TST because we're satisfied with the taste and price of Café de Coral.
It is a self-service restaurant, you have to order and pay in one counter and move to other counters to get your order. I always choose the table beside or few steps away from the food counter so my husband will not have a hard time in transferring our food to our table (one tray per order).
Here are the foods that we have tried. I forgot the exact prices but I'm sure it is not over $HK30 per order.

Good point to take note - kasi ayaw namin ng fast food kahit when traveling. paborito ko mga sidewalk food sa HK. hopefully malinis! hahaDelete
actually sis, fastfood nila ang cafe de coral. gusto rin sana namin try yung sidewalk food, takot lang ako. hehe!Delete
ah, fast food pala to. Ang ayaw ko kasi yung McDonald's, Kfc, etc. Keri lang yun, pati yung daughter ko who was about 1.4 yrs old pa lang nung time na yun. :DDelete
Nice family bonding time though:)ReplyDelete
it looks like a kids meal. enough to satisfy a small kid. it is probably enough for travelers on the go that want pick up a quick meal before going to their next tourist destination on their agenda.ReplyDelete
