Changing Abusive Behavior
Over the past three decades, the problem of domestic violence has left the private domain and become a matter of public debate. Domestic Violence cuts across all socioeconomic, ethnic, cultural, gender and racial boundaries. It has become an enormous social problem. For instance, a woman is battered every 15 seconds in the United States (Uniform Crime Reports 1994). The Center for Disease Control in 2003 reports nearly 2 million injuries and 1,300 deaths nationwide as a result of domestic violence. Fifty percent of violent juvenile offenders and adult prisoners came from homes where domestic violence occurred.
As Domestic Violence became recognized as an increasing problem that affects individuals, families, and communities, legislators joined with advocates and mental health professionals to enact laws and develop ways to treat victims and perpetrators. The Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition will explore the social, legal and treatment aspects of Domestic Violence at its annual community awareness/educational program on October 13, 2010 at noon in the old courthouse in Castle Dale. Lunch will be provided and the program is free of charge. Organizers said, "Come join us and our panel of experts. Kevin Webb is a LCSW who has piloted an unconventional treatment program for court ordered perpetrators. He will be joined by Intermountain Sex Abuse Treatment staff from Price who also treat perpetrators as well as victims. They offer a wealth of knowledge about causes of Domestic Violence and what works and doesn't work in treating these populations. Judge Mary Manley, who helped establish the Emery Coalition, will answer legal questions and offer insights she learned after serving as a Prosecutor and Juvenile Court Judge for many years. Remember to mark your calendars for October 13 for the Emery County Domestic Violence Coalition's annual program."
Kevin Webb will take an hour and teach a class after the program in the same room. He will talk about how to achieve behavioral change. The public is invited to attend at no cost. Webb will explain how participants can change a behavior. He plans to share changes he has made using his modality of treatment. Webb has presented his material at national and international conferences. He has seen great success in his endeavors and is highly regarded in his field. Webb will offer a great opportunity for hands on learning that can change your life.
Organizers said, "We, as Coalition members, hope to see you on October 13 as we come together in an effort to impact the problem of Domestic Violence in our county."

Five things: Where is Iginla going?
Ryan Lambert
March 21 2013 10:02AM
Germane to the conversation last week about the possibility of the Flames dealing a number of their more tradeable assets from last week's 5T is that in the seven days since that was published there sure is starting to be a lot more of that "Iginla's definitely getting traded" talk kicking around. That includes very legitimate speculation about where he could go and even disquieted, somewhat-annoyed quotes from the man himself yesterday.
So with that in mind, I figured it might be wise to look at the five teams I've heard brought up most often in connection with Iginla's name, and whether they can match the rumored asking price of a first-round pick in this year's draft, a (possibly defensive) prospect and a solid roster player with whom they might be willing to part.
1. Pittsburgh Penguins
This is the team you most often hear in connection with Iginla, and one that seems to make the most sense on paper. Jarome Iginla playing alongside Sidney Crosby, Evgeni Malkin, James Neal, and Kris Letang on a top power play unit seems particularly unfair in general to the rest of the NHL, even as the Penguins continue to pile goals on everyone they play. Plus Canadians in particular would like to see Crosby slotted in with Iginla just so they can relive that overtime goal a few dozen more times a night.
Do they have the pieces? Do they ever. If the Flames, as rumored, want defensive prospects in particular. The Pens have Joe Morrow, Simon Despres, Olli Maata, Scott Harrington and Brian Dumoulin all looking like they're going to be NHLers at some point in the next few years. They also have their first-round pick for this season, and a guy like Tyler Kennedy seems like the roster player the Pens would be happy to part with in exchange for a player of Iginla's reputation.
Will it happen? Probably not. As Rob Rossi pointed out over the weekend, it's tough to see where Iginla fits in with the Pens, as their top two right-wing slots seem to be as full as they are down the middle. With Crosby goes Chris Kunitz, who's on 18 goals and 40 points in 31 games. With Malkin goes Neal, who scored 40 goals last season and is up to 17 this year. So why on earth would the Pens give up that kind of haul for someone who would be relegated to third-line minutes and power play specializing? Doesn't make sense, even the team probably has the best combination of pieces the Flames would want. Unfortunately for Jay Feaster, that just isn't how it works.
2. Boston Bruins
You hear this one a lot too, and it makes a pretty healthy amount of sense as well. Maybe the return wouldn't be quite as good, but this is a team that has more obvious deficiencies in attack than Pittsburgh.
Do they have the pieces? Their prospect pool is a little top-heavy from what I can tell, and they're sure not about to let Dougie Hamilton go. Would Calgary take a Ryan Spooner or potentially Alex Khoklachev — maybe even Jordan Caron, but that seems unlikely — as forward prospects? Tough to say. It is important to note, though, that the roster player the Bruins give up would likely be better than Tyler Kennedy (think perhaps Dan Paille or Greg Campbell). They do have their first-round pick for this year, but given the team's quality, it could be exceedingly low.
Will it happen? Gun to my head, this is the team to which Iginla would be traded if he were, just because they might have the greatest need for him and might therefore be a little more desperate to acquire him than everyone else.
3. Los Angeles Kings
This is a club that's only more recently come up for discussion as being interested, but that's like, "Capital I" Interested, from everything I've read. I'm a little skeptical, but let's at least look under the rock for the sake of doing so.
Do they have the pieces? They traded their first-rounder to Columbus in the Jeff Carter trade, but they're probably pretty happy with the move considering how the playoffs went for them. Nonetheless, that's probably a hurdle they'd have to get over in a hurry if this were to happen. On the other hand, if you want defensive prospects, the Kings have a few, perhaps most notably rookie Jake Muzzin who's been very good on their blue line this year but could be the price they have to pay for someone to help on their right wing. As for a roster player, they have a few useful forwards Calgary probably wouldn't hate choosing from.
Will it happen? Well, let's just say Justin Williams is getting their second-line right wing minutes, so Iginla would almost certainly be an upgrade. It also makes sense in the reuniting of Iginla and Darryl Sutter. The rumors of interest kicked up fast, which makes me think there's more to it than just idle HFBoards-ing from the hockey media. I wouldn't be shocked if it happened but man, their not having a first-round pick in this draft has to be considered a major impediment. Can you imagine Feaster trying to justify that return?
4. San Jose Sharks
This, on the other hand, seems the ultimate in idle HFBoards-ing. The Sharks currently sit in eighth place as of this writing, tied with Phoenix and (haha) Columbus at 30 points and if they're going to wring one more meager attempt at doing something noteworthy in their playoffs, this looks like their only chance.
Do they have the pieces? Their prospect pool is a little bare from what I can surmise, but they have a couple decent-ish players in the system. No one that'll bowl you over but a few that project into decent NHLers, including Tomas Hertl and Matt Nieto. Whether they'd be willing to give up their best prospect or two is, I guess, another matter. They also probably have a decent roster player like TJ Galiardi or Tommy Wingels to deal, and they haven't offloaded their first-rounder yet either.
Will it happen? If the rumors are to be believed, they'd probably have to get into a bidding war with the Kings, a division rival, and that doesn't seem like something that would go well for the Sharks overall. One imagines they'd have to get exceedingly desperate to pull it off, which isn't out of the realm of possibility.
5. Detroit Red Wings
Of the teams with an outside shot to land Iginla, I'd say the Red Wings are the front-runners. They're trying to keep hope alive with regard to making the playoffs, Iginla certainly helps pad out that lead they have over eighth, which is three points and can't feel all that comfortable. But if they think this makes them in any way a contender, they're sadly mistaken.
Do they have the pieces? They're not giving up Brendan Smith, but a number of other defensive prospects look fairly intriguing, as do a few forwards as well (Jurco, Frk, Jarnkrok, Nyqvist, Tatar and other guys with silly last names probably). They have their first-round pick, and maybe they throw in an Eaves or Abdelkader to round out the deal. Not a great haul, but one that seems at least a little realistic.
Will it happen? Again, this looks like a team that would have the pieces if they didn't have anyone bidding against them, but I don't know how that returns stands up against, say, LA's or Boston's, except to say, "Not that well."
Iggy for Lu!!!! Get bent!
"He can be moved later" because that has worked out sooooo very well for the 'Nucks.
There has been speculation about VAN (gag) but I just can't see it. Aside from a complete headache for Feaster to justify, I don't they have the pieces we may want. If they want to go Scneids I would consider it, But, just like the Jbo rumors to EDM, the return would have to be a complete raping of our most hated rivals.
If they would trade Iggy for Scneids you would *consider* it? Haha... People have serious misconceptions about a rental UFA Iggy's trade value if you think Vancouver would offer up Schneider and you'd have to consider it.
What makes you believe that Steve Tambellini, Mr. Reticent, would ever make a move to acquire Jay Bouwmeester?
I'm not taking a shot at you here, but these are the things that are against it, in my mind:
- The Oilers have established a contractual line in the sand with the Hall and Eberle contracts - $6 million, no more. Bouwmeester's contract blows that out of the water.
- They have been extremely hesitant to part with any prospects and picks that have been dealt are in the 3rd round or later.
- Tambellini right now doesn't appear to be able to coordinate a lunch order for he, Lowe and MacTavish, nevermind trying to organize a three-way deal with two opposing GMs.
I think they try to acquire a younger defenseman by exchanging a future pick or a roster player. "Buy low" is the echo I keep hearing from the organization.
That or they just clone Justin Schultz.
Oh, I get all that. But it was in response to the rumors that they were interested that was posted earlier. By no means do I think it will happen.
How much stock do you put in the Yakupov being moved rumors?
Half the league hates Vancouver, they are the most hated team in all of Hockey!!! Ryan O'Reilly and Shane Doan both turned down big offers from them. Of all the players NEVER going to Vancouver you can put Iginla at the top of the list!! They are also hardly a cup contender. If Iginla is going to a middle of the pack Western Conference team its LA/Detroit, he always lights it up against them. Also why do the Flames need a goalie; Ortio, Broissot, Gillies, Taylor and Macdonald? If they are just going to go for a rebuild...
For Iggy, how about to Boston for Ryan Spooner, Griffith/Knight and a first.... Spooner is very underrated!!! Detroit makes the most sense though with all their NHL ready prospects. Chicago also has some good pieces Brandon Saad and a first.... Or Teravainen straight up.... I know I can dream. Or to Pittsburgh for a Pouliot and a second or Joe Morrow /Beau Bennett and a first. Those two former/current Portland defenders make sense with their history playing with Sven, think one of them would be in a trade from Pittsburgh. When Calgary traded down in last years first think it was because Derek Pouliot went a lot higher than they were expecting.
Ryan Lambert great list though mine is very similar: 1. Pittsburgh 2. Boston 3. Los Angeles 4. Chicago 5. Detroit
I know in the past during interviews that Iginla could be seen wearing an LA Dodgers cap and I believe its somewhere his family often vacations, plus there is the Sutter history and being of African heritage would help in that market.... Honestly LA is a great fit other than a questionable return available.
Just had a Lightbulb go off..... How about George "Bud" Holloway as a piece in a trade for Iggy, he is lighting up the Swedish Elite League for the second straight year and never got a chance with LA. Think they still have his rights.... Tanner Pearson, Bud Holloway and a second?
March 21 2013, 07:31PM
If they would trade Iggy for Scneids you would *consider* it? Haha... People have serious misconceptions about a rental UFA Iggy's trade value if you think Vancouver would offer up Schneider and you'd have to consider it.
Dude, it's Vancouver.....
... Are you sure that "lightbulb" wasn't a brain aneurysm?
I don't see San Jose or Detroit in the mix for Iggy, Det I see in the mix for Jay-Bo. A very top hockey insider has said while it's not clear if Jarome has given the Flames a list of teams he would like to go to, the wheels are already in motion to deal the long time Flame.
I'd love to get Calle Jarnkrok. A deal centered around Jarnkrok and Bouwmeester?
... Are you sure that "lightbulb" wasn't a brain aneurysm?
Not at all, Bud Holloway is the leading scorer with 72 Points, 17 more than his next teammate. He is the reason Skelleftea is tops in the SEL. As a comparison he has 29 more points than Calle Järnkrok and is only a few years older. He has better size, work ethic as well as being used to the North American game. LA has turned down big offers for him to screw him over, second and a legitimate prospect from multiple teams.
Bud Holloways profile from Elite Prospects: "Holloway is a very well-rounded winger. Can launch rockets while playing the point on the powerplay. Is also a skilled passer. Has good leadership qualities and work ethic."
Calle Järnkrok "A very skilled center that will get the job done on the wing as well. Järnkrok's main asset is his outstanding hockey sense... But he is not a physical player, plays pretty well through heavy traffic although in need of gaining strength and muscle. Good character....Is a good skater, but there is still some room for improvement in that department. "
Anyway not sure why I am crazy to suggest Bud Holloway and other chips for Iginla, when everyone else is saying Calle Järnkrok. Someone who clearly has questions about size having never played on smaller ice.
There HAS TO be a reason Holloway isn't playing for the Kings right now. Like, seriously. The guy had a 60 point season in his last AHL year. There must be something seriously wrong with him.
The difference in their ages is 3.5 years. Holloway is 25--which, as studies have shown, is the year forward production typically peaks. Jarnkrok is 21.
anyway, if Holloway won't sign with the Kings, why would he sign with the Flames?
Weighing the relative merits of Tyler Kennedy, Greg Campbell and Justin Abdelkader makes me oh, so very sad.

Food and clothes are among the necessities of life, though these two in particular seem more necessary to some than to others. Since modern rituals of dating almost universally require singles to (1) dress up and (2) dine out, we figured that singles would have a lot to say about their relationship to food and fashion. Zoosk conducted a survey on the eating and dressing habits of 1,500 single people, posing a variety of important sociological questions like whether men should wear skinny jeans and whether it's sensible to spend extra for an organic tomato. The results? Fascinating! See below.
Zoosk asks: "Among ironic mustache, Ed Hardy, skinny jeans, nerd glasses, and man purse, which is the worst current fashion trend for men?"
Zoosk asks: "Of socks'n'sandals, extreme high waist jeans, oversize sunglasses, one-piece jumpsuits, and fur boots, which is the worst current fashion trend for women?"
Zoosk asks singles whether they consistently shop or eat organic food
Zoosk asks: So… would you date a vegan?
Considering the amount of people who are trying to lose weight, a temporary vegan diet might not be a bad idea.

I hope you rest in peace, wherever you are.
I'm really sorry, accept my condolences, in case any friend or family of RedPan reads this.
There's not really much I can say to describe how I feel right now. I didn't know you personally Redpan, and I'm sorry I didn't. I've probably missed out on many wonderful moments by not knowing you.
We will miss you!
I have always thought something like this happens, just we don't know because no one informs us. It is fortunate that Redpan's cousin notified us so we can say goodbye to her.
Although I have never interacted with her at all, may she rest in peace.
It is great to have you here HandBanana, your posts, avatar and signatures had always gave me great laughs. Best of luck!
It is a great shame to see Hand Banana and RedPan go. I'm sure you will be sorely missed by the members of this community.
im shocked too, I've chat a couple of times with her in the empire
Is hard to believe that a member is gone
redpan Rest in peace. as many here said we will miss you :(
And HB good luck in your life man, and please take care, i enyoyed a lot reading your posts.
Thanks Blue hime!
This is indeed very sad news. I never interacted with her very much but we exchanged words and I remember her especially for posting in the Beautiful Men thread. I pray that her family finds the strength to get through this difficult time and may her memory live on forever.

I honestly... don't know what to say.
I wasn't as close to Redpan as some people, like Hand banana, but we always had a good laugh.
She shared my passion for Japanese curry and ramen so most of our conversations would start with what we had for dinner. ^^
I'm going to miss her, even though I never met her in real life.
Let's get this party started.
My deepest condolences to Redpan and her family. Even though I never had the chance to talk to her.

Hawaii Five-0 Review: Off And RunningJim Garner at . Comments
"La O Na Makuahine:" Mother's Day
Hawaii Five-0 Season 3 kicked off with the Chin-Ho, Kono and Malia-based cliffhanger we have been biting our nails over all summer. While my guess from the season finale of how Kono could be saved was really close (Adam saved her after Chin-Ho called him), my hope that Malia opening her eyes meant that she would survive didn't fair as well.
Can we hope that Chin-Ho won't go down a horribly dark path over Malia's death because he was able to catch Frank Delano and shoot him in the face with a shotgun? I'm worried that we are going to have to deal with "Evil Chin-Ho" now for several episodes, which would drag down the overall feel of the show.
The premiere also gave us a complete answer to the questions that were asked most often during the show's sophomore season. To wit: What is Shelburne? It was Doris McGarrett's code name when she was a spy before Steve was born.
It was even better to receive the answer directly from Doris McGarrett herself as she explained why she disappeared for 20 years to Steve. I'm not surprised that Steve had some anger about his mom faking her own death. I was very glad that he got past it, though, towards the end of the episode when he called her "mom" instead of "Doris."
In addition to Christine Lahti coming on board as Mrs. McGarrett, Michelle Borth returned as Catherine Rawlins. She's now a series regular. While they didn't explain why she is suddenly island-bound in the Navy, I enjoyed watching her and Doris together too much to really complain about it.
Speaking of Doris and Catherine, I'm very curious why Doris didn't shoot Wo Fat and, more importantly, why Wo Fat spent years trying to find her and didn't even raise his pistol. I'm sensing that any relief I have over finding out who Shelburne was is going to quickly be replaced with questions about Wo Fat and Doris' interaction and relationship.
My only complaint about the opener was the way the writers decided to have Wo Fat escape. I just don't get why it had to involve a helicopter picking up an armored car with a giant skill-crane style claw. Had they cut to a shot of the three-eyed alien from Toy Story pointing and saying Oooooh, The Claw!! it would not have surprised me... and might have made it better.
I will say (claw-copter aside) that the rest of the action from Peter Lenkov's story was great. I cheered out loud when Kono jumped straight up as the guy tried to run her down and then shot him through the windshield while standing on the hood.
In conclusion, this week's premiere was excellent and the addition of Lahti as Doris made for some fun Hawaii Five-O Quotes. I'm excited to see where Lenov decides to take her and Catherine in relation to the core team. What did you think of the premiere? Do you like the addition of Doris McGarrett?

March 28 2013 10:49PM
The Edmonton Oilers have been connected to the Boston Bruins many times since 1979. Some very famous playoff series, a few trades of note and the two clubs have some executives in common over the years, too. This week, the two teams have been associated with trade talks involving names like Ryan Whitney and Ales Hemsky.
Is there a match? What could Boston offer?
Watching the Bruins last night, it's pretty obvious they need some blueline help. Their top 4D is solid, led by state of the art defender Zdeno Chara and including veterans Dennis Seidenberg, Johnny Boychuk, Andrew Ference and the young and talented Dougie Hamilton.
Whitney could slide right into the 5-6 role and help on special teams. Although he's not playing at pre-surgery levels, his competition for that job (Aaron Johnson, Adam McQuaid, Matt Bartkowski) isn't terribly stout and Whitney's a good bet to play in front of them.
If the Oilers deal Whitney (and they're playing well with Whitney playing big minutes), Boston could certainly use his talents.
Edmonton has a few things to gain in dealing Whitney. They could finally carry the normal 7 defensemen, and allow Theo Peckham out of the doghouse. They could also shave a few dollars off the payroll, always a nice item for the owner. And of course, there's the asset they get in return. That might be a draft pick, a prospect (the Oilers have a lot of graduating prospects, suspect they'd prefer one in Europe, college or junior).
- D Matt Barkowski: AHL defender with average size, he was reportedly part of the package for Iginla. He wouldn't be a top 6 option in Edmonton any time soon (unless I'm missing something) and aside from being LH I don't think he has a lot of appeal for the Oilers.
- R Jordan Caron: AHL winger, 6.03, 204, spent much of the 2010-11 season with the Bruins and is 81, 10-14-24 in his career with Boston. Caron's size and skill set make him an interesting possibility for next season, I could see him being a contender for bottom 6F duties in the fall. Someone to follow if the trade is made.
- G Niklas Svedberg: Tall, stringbean goalie from Sweden has been outstanding in Providence, and frankly I think the Bruins are more likely to make their current NHL backup (Anton Khudobin) available before this fellow. Currently boasts a .923SP and should be considered an outstanding prospect based on his current season.
Trading Whitney for an asset who doesn't need to be added to the big league roster would allow the Oilers to add Dan DeKeyser to their roster without having to move anyone/risk waivers. DeKeyser is going to make his decision sometime in the next 24 hours (based on reports) so it's a consideration. The Oilers have made a presentation, and now they're waiting along with Detroit (considered the favorite) and a few other clubs.
Ryan Whitney can help the Boston Bruins, and I think there are players in Providence that could make the Oilers system stronger. There's also a certain logic in trading Whitney for a draft pick, and Boston may be in acquisition mode after the events last night.
There's also a growing feeling that the best destination for Ryan Whitney is Edmonton. If that's the case, the Oilers at the deadline could be quiet for the first time in years.
March 29 2013, 11:39AM
Let me clarify that I do not think Potter is the answer. I do however think that the Oilers should move Whitney to get SOMETHING in return. They will need to make improvements at D, and that is obvious. Sticking with our current crew is clearly not the answer.
Also, Whitney has 4 times as much time on the PP compared to Potter, and has 5 times the points. Total point production is not the only measure of a player. Whitney has been beyond terrible - we get dominated when he is on the ice (save for for a handful of games this year).
The thing is trading Ryan Whitney is not going to get you a player that will step into the lineup today. He's a pending UFA. I would rather keep him and battle for eighth than trade him for magic beans. To me, that is more valuable to the core group of players than adding another body for next years development camp.
Dougie Hamilton will be competing for the Olympic team in five years so ur giving up a lot more than that.
not sure if someone else might have mentioned this earlier as I have only read half the comments so far, but pairing Whitney with someone else than Potter or Fistric would probably improve his stats. I know his defensive game is not the best but if we had a true number 1 defenseman or he could fit there until J Shultz arrives and then he should fit on the second pairing.
Package Khabby , Whitney and Hemsky might get us a first round pick from Boston , but not much more . Whitney alone might not even get us a second rounder or usable body .
I don't think Boston really has much to offer outside of their NHLers. They've got Dougie Hamilton and Malcom Subban (neither of which would be moved), and after that, it drops off severely.
Damn, that's funny!
March 29 2013, 01:23PM
Murray is a UFA at the end of this year. Why the hell would Tambo give up anything for likely 15 games from him?
Because sometimes you got say fcuk it! lets do all that we can to get into the playoffs now after 6 years of missing out.
And who's to say Murray wouldnt resign if he got traded here?
To even include the names Hemsky and Paajarvi without something tangible coming back the other way is what put us into this mess. All those prospects are just that, prospects. No gaurantee they'll even be a regular NHL player. Whitney and Tuebert/Plante for the Bruins first rounder maybe.
Puck Boston, if a Hemsky and Paajarvi package is available, they should be going after Dale Tallon for Erik Gudbranson, or a more desireable target like that. Chiarelli is screwed already, he's waited too long to better his club.
I agree with this 100%. If you want to trade away NHL players at this point in the "rebuild" (Gads I am hating that word), then you better get NHL players in return.
Any trade that involved MPS better have a big skilled forward coming back. no exceptions.
If I'm the B's, I steal a page from the Flyers who got the Pens to fight a brawl rather than play a game of skill. Add defensive assets to your 5/6 pair and your 3rd line such that you're somewhat comfortable with a match up against Malkin or Crosby.
Of course I'm assuming a B's - Pens matchup. Can't discount the fact that the Habs always seem to have the B's number. Took them to G7 overtime the year the B's won the Cup.
It only makes sense to trade expiring UFAs like Whitney & Khabi. You're not going to get value for players with rights or contracts through next season and beyond. Teams are only tinkering and not willing to trade useful players off their rosters. There is no point to dumping a player like Hemsky for a draft pick. Better opportunities for significant trades should happen before the draft when teams are looking to reconfigure their rosters. If need be a player like Hemsky could be a tradeable asset next year at the deadline.

By CHAD KISTERNelsonvilleOhio
Being a journalist, I have seen how issues come to the forefront, and then how people tire of them and move on to another subject. There is an initial frenzy of interest, then editors feel that people have heard enough.
Despite the myriad of new findings, I am concerned that this is becoming the story about climate change. The science is getting more and more clear, but journalists are not continuing to cover the story commensurate with its importance. We are permanently harming all life on our planet, and all life to come. This is by far the most important issue.
Many scientists, such as Sir James Lovelock, warn that billions of people will likely die this century because of the impacts of climate change, unless we make major changes to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. The group Christian Aid found that 185 million people are expected to die from the disease impacts of climate change just in sub-Saharan Africa this century, unless major changes are made.
Climate change is a creeping disaster, as an Alaskan Senator described it. But it is also accelerating and unpredictable, as a 2004 Pentagon Report on abrupt climate change details. That report, done by Defense Advisor Andrew Marshall, found that climate change is a much more serious threat than terrorism.
The recent passage of the American Clean Energy and Security Act by the House of Representatives is the most important step our country has taken to combat this crisis. We must mobilize to pass the act through the Senate.
Misinformation, such as claims that the legislation will require home owners to do an energy audit before they can sell their homes are simply not true according to the National Association of Realtors. The insurance industry and several energy companies are in favor of the legislation, which does not go nearly far enough to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Still, it is a critical step, that will create nearly two million jobs, and clean up our air, water and landscapes as we transition to clean, renewable energy used far more efficiently, while combating the most serious crisis our species faces: climate change.

Global Opportunities (GO)
Photo Caption: Susquehanna students and French volunteers celebrate their work together on a restoration project at the 14th century Villandraut castle.
Nomination submitted by: Scott Manning, Director, Office of Cross-Cultural Programs
Program Overview: Susquehanna University is in a central Pennsylvania river valley, but it's also in a game preserve in the Gambia, West Africa, and among Incan ruins in the Andes Mountains. The centerpiece of Susquehanna University's recently revised core curriculum, the Global Opportunities (GO) program requires every student to have an off-campus immersion experience of at least two weeks, followed by a credit-bearing critical reflection on that experience once they are back on campus. Susquehanna is among only a handful of schools to mandate a study-away experience for all students. The campus has gone even further in requiring a post-travel course in which students reflect on how that experience changed them. Students receive credit for this innovative coursework, which includes class discussions, performances and creative writing, and centers around cross-cultural learning goals such as understanding and recognizing ethnocentrism.
Susquehanna offers a vast array of choices. More than 90 semester-long GO Long programs on six continents, including several programs exclusive to SU students. Each of the more than 25 Susquehanna faculty-designed GO Short programs last at least two weeks, during semester breaks or summer. Some focus on a specific major or interest; others are built around a service project, such as SU CASA, an award-winning program that takes students to Costa Rica and Nicaragua to serve congregations, clinics, hospitals, and refugee and immigrant communities.
With the Global Opportunities program in place, 100 percent of Susquehanna students have an off-campus study experience, up from 30 percent three years ago. To further its overarching goal of internationalizing the campus, Susquehanna is also recruiting more international students and faculty. Over 30 faculty members hail from countries across the globe including India, Iran, Japan, Morocco and South Africa. The campus hired an admissions recruiter for international students two years ago, and added other vital support for students once they arrive. It has achieved a 35 percent increase in international student enrollment in the past year alone. A scholar-mentor program that trains juniors and seniors as mentors to help international students in adjusting to their new home and facilitating their transition to the region has been particularly successful.
President L. Jay Lemons highlighted the role of international students and faculty in the leaps the campus had made towards its internationalization efforts. "They contribute a rich background of individual experiences and interpretations of the world that result from differences in cultural traditions and histories," said Dr. Lemons. "The insights and views international faculty and students bring to the learning environment, along with experiences of students returning from their GO travels, all contribute to more meaningful exchanges in and outside of the classroom."
Program Implementation:
Read the winning nomination, including details on how the program achieves its objectives.
IIE will present the annual IIE Andrew Heiskell Awards for Best Practices in Internationalization at a ceremony in Miami, Florida on March 14, 2017, as part of the Annual Best Practices in Internationalization Conference.

A pretty shoe from afar but up close...
"I wasn't impressed. I love the color but I don't like the fact that the spots that look like space in the material is actually plastic. There's plastic on the heel part and the toe part. I think that's kind of cheesy. I found the toe part to be extra roomy but in a bad way. There was about a finger's width amount of space between the top of my toe (not toe tips) and the shoe itself. It just looked weird. So in short, while I love the color and over all look of the shoe, up close it's just no good."

|In response to Re: Relocated bathtub - height required for drain?
: I am planning a renovation in a concrete apartment building which, unfortunately, requires the bathtub to be moved such that the tub drain is approximately 6.0 feet from the existing drain location. Given that it is not possible to go into the floor with new plumbing, I suppose I will have to raise the tub for the P trap and required drain line slope to the existing drain/vent location.
: My questions: By what height would I have to raise the tub for this to work? Also, is there anything else I should know - am I missing anything that would make this a bad idea?

Representatives of The Villages of Belleview — the apartment complex proposed to replace the Columbine Square shopping center at Federal Boulevard and Belleview Avenue — started reaching out to neighbors July 9 and found themselves met with resistance.
"You're ruining our little town," said Littleton resident Betty Harris, during the first of three informational meetings that week at Horizon Rocky Mountain Church. Harris is active with Citizens for Rational Development, a group that is actively opposing a plan to build apartments across the street from the Littleton Courthouse.
"Change is tough on all of us. We're all human," countered Charlie Mallon, representing CMCB Enterprise Inc., the company that has owned the property on the southwest corner of Belleview and Federal for 24 years.
Columbine Square was once home to All Stars Sports Bar and the Burger King-turned-Big Papa's BBQ. Both are now vacant, as is about half of the 80,000 square feet of retail space at the site. The Horizon church and Littleton Preparatory Charter School both have plans to relocate from Columbine Square to more permanent quarters. The school, which has been located in a former Safeway store, is building on the Norgren property at Delaware Street and Powers Avenue in Littleton's northeast neighborhood.
Mallon stressed that CMCB, owned by the family of 1990s tennis star Michael Chang, intends to retain ownership of the property as a legacy asset. The company wants to tear down the 15-acre shopping center and replace it with 346 apartment units housed in 20 three-story buildings. Planned amenities include a clubhouse, pool, self-service bicycle repair station, walking path, fitness room, juice bar, tanning room and a business center for residents' use.
Despite that long list, Mallon makes no bones about the fact that these will be nice apartments, not luxury potential condominiums like the ones planned near the courthouse. There, 250 units are planned on 4.5 acres; rent will range from $1,050 to $3,000. The Villages of Belleview will rent for $800 to $1,250, said Mallon.
"This is not going to look like Disneyland," he said, explaining he's striving to make the project complement the neighborhood. "This is not going to look like a five-star hotel when it opens up. That's not how I do things."
One woman who didn't want to be identified worried the low price would attract "riffraff" and urged the developer to upgrade the complex into a "hip" mixed-use project.
"I don't think anybody suggests you maintain a '70s strip mall concept, but to get community support, you need a mix of retail and residential," agreed John Watson, who is currently running for city council.
Mallon said his original goal was to lure the remodeled King Soopers that was built across the street to the site, thus stealing it and its sales tax away from Englewood. Failing that, he tried to work with the owner of the U.S. Bank pad to incorporate some retail, but the bank has a 15-year lease the owner is unwilling to part with.
"Long-term tenants went across the street, and that's a fact," he said.
The Arapahoe County Elections Facility and O'Toole's Garden Center are not part of the site, but Adele O'Toole is none too happy with CMCB's plan.
"It takes away four of our five access points, so it cripples us," she said. The only one left will be on Federal, and she worries her customers will have difficulty navigating her often very busy front parking lot — not to mention her delivery trucks.
Neighbors can have their say at two public hearings. Because the property will have to be rezoned from commercial to residential, the case will go before both the planning board and city council. Those aren't yet scheduled, but Mallon said he hopes to have demolition completed by the end of the year.
"We want to build it, lease it and keep the occupancy rate high," he said.

Skip to comments.Daily Presidential Tracking Poll (Rasmussen) - O:47%, R:49%, 'other':2%
Posted on 10/06/2012 6:44:28 AM PDT by AFPhys
The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Saturday shows Mitt Romney attracting support from 49% of voters nationwide, while President Obama earns the vote from 47%. Two percent (2%) prefer some other candidate, and two percent (2%) are undecided.
These results are based upon nightly interviews and reported on a three-day rolling average basis. As a result, only about two-thirds of the interviews for todays update were conducted after the presidential debate. Sunday mornings update will be the first national polling based entirely upon post-debate interviews.
Still, the numbers reflect quite a debate bounce for Romney. Heading into Wednesdays showdown, it was the president who enjoyed a two-point advantage. Today is the first time Romney has been ahead by even a single point since mid-September. See daily tracking history. As with all bounces, it remains to be seen whether it is a temporary blip or signals a lasting change in the race.
Both men have solidified their partisan base. Romney is supported by 89% of Republicans and Obama by 88% of Democrats. Among those not affiliated with either major party, Romney leads by 16.
(Excerpt) Read more at rasmussenreports.com ...
I suspect some of those 11% are Republicans who see Romney as too liberal and will vote libertarian or skip the presidential part of the ballot this year.
15% of black vote? I mean thats not a lot, but I thought it was only around 10% in 2008 for McCain wasn't it?
Looks like from those crosstabs that Romney is doing much better with Hispanics than Obama can afford.
Because those numbers are bogus just like the unemployment numbers....
For them, higher taxes means their union can demand pay raises, and 20% less of more is still 80% MORE!
You are correct...there are a number of Christians, primarily in the south; who will not vote for Romney because he is seen as too liberal or the fact that he is Mormon. That's just the way it is...
Thank you for all the math! I am a Latin teacher, not a math guy! But, from your numbers, I can now extrapolate a general rule for myself: that in a perfect 33/33/33 model with parity between D & R, a 16 point advantage among Independents would only mean a 5 or 6 point move. So a sample of 20% Independents would move things only 2 or 3 points. So, with a +4 Dem sample (which well may not hold), a +2 lead for Mitt is pretty damned good!
I personally think Mormons are sort of goofy.
I would crawl over broken glass to kiss Mitt's magic underware at this point!
Depends on the size of the sample of Independents.
That 14% black is getting pretty close to the number that is needed for the logjam to break. When blacks in their own communities start to fearlessly support a Republican, the Dems are cooked. Something on the order of 20-25% is probably near that threshhold.
You got it :o)
Now I know who to ask if I want to be all cool and smart by saying things in Latin!
Excellent points...well written.
Independents were 29% in 2008 and their ranks have grown considerably since then (where do you think the D's have gone?). Any model that has I's at less than 30% would be highly suspect.
Furthermore, Romney is getting a bigger % of R's than Obama is of D's. Romney is also getting 2 percentage points more of D's than Obama is of R's.
All in all, Rasmussen's numbers seem to suggest something like a D+7.
sidebar to the thread, but for that reason, I would support a ruling that those who work for the Federal government should not be allowed a vote.
Still too tight.
When only a Presidential "Face Palm" will suffice.
Ha..he can't even manage a decent "face palm"....send him back to Harvard to retake FacePalm 101
I'm good with allowing them 3/5's .
Using a D+7 model (37D/30R/33I):
Romney 37(0.1)+30(0.89)+33(0.54) ~49
Obama 37(0.88)+30(0.8)+33(0.38) ~48
Assuming the I number is close to being right, I would suggest to me that Ras is in the ballpark of D+6 to D+8.
Thanks for doing that. Sounds reasonable. Wait until the more accurate numbers get mixed in!
Time for me to go on to my day. Y'all have fun here!
If my reverse-engineering using profit_guy's internals is correct, Rasmussen's party ID breakdown is:
Rasmussen is using a +5D model.
I can't imagine only 26.6% independents. That is considerably lower than 2008, while the ranks of independents has grown since then.
Excellent analysis!
An interesting polling note is that Rasmussen has Romney almost tied in the Electoral College, if toss ups are allocated by the current polls - http://www.rasmussenreports.com/public_content/archive/2012_electoral_college_scoreboard
Safe or likely Romney totals 181. Safe or likely Obama totals 237. There are no states that "lean" either way. In the 120 "toss up" EV states, Obama leads for NV's 6 votes, WI's 10 votes, and OH's 18 votes. That takes Obama to 271 over Romney's 267, a very narrow loss for America - on polls that in many cases are pre-debate.
As has been posted on FR lately, response rates are way down. Only 9% response rate where it had been 38% in 2008 previously.
IMO, pollsters are overplaying their hand this election, and flooding too many people with too many calls, to the point where they have alienated a large segment. The people who do have time are, speculatively, those who lean Democrat.
But, Rasmussen has to assume by the rules of polling science that the people who do answer his calls are still representative of the voting segment, because it is impossible to prove the makeup of people who won't be polled.
Obama is still slightly up in the electoral count on Rasmussen, but the gap has closed considerably.
It looks like about 271 Obama and 267 Romney when all toss-ups are given to the current state leader per Rasmussen's numbers.
Obama is ahead in Nevada 6, Wisconsin 10, and Ohio 18.
If he loses any of those, he loses the election. If he wins all 3, he wins the election.
The most likely Romney win will be in Ohio, but it will also be the costliest.
This is only based on the numbers Rasmussen is showing now. I imagine Rasmussen will come out with new numbers on those states based on post-debate polling.
I think the people who do still support Obama are hoping that he had just one bad night. Romney put Obama on the floor but has not yet delivered the finishing blow.
IMO, Romney has tied the race. If Romney delivers another KO punch, a landslide may really happen.
It really is an unspeakable tragedy - to see what the so-called "caring" liberals have done to our black people.
It's not going to be an easy road but the Republicans have nothing to lose by offering them a more positive and uplifting message. Show them how their lives can be improved by getting off welfare and entering the workforce or starting their own businesses. Then make it happen through serious welfare reform and making it financially more attractive to work a job (or start a business) than to collect a government welfare check.
This means that Republicans are going to have to stop walking on eggshells and tell it like it really is. Sure, they will at first get hammered by the Al Sharpton types and the media. But a lot of black people will respond to such a message and slowly, the Republicans and conservatism will win more and more of the black vote because they will offer a better way of life.
We already have some great black leaders on our side of the fence. Allen West, Thomas Sowell, Herman Cain, Condoleeza Rice, Clarence Thomas, JC Watts, to name a few. Let's build on that.
As a conservative, I'm tired of seeing the black people being written off and it pains me to see the way of life so many of them are forced into by misguided liberal policies.
Many like me, when polled, still have the luxury of voting "other". Come election day, there's but one choice.
Vote out Obama.
>> Dems always poll better at weekends also in Rasmussen <<
Correct — strictly speaking — but it's basically irrelevant to the discussion at hand, because Rasmussen always adjusts his results to eliminate the "weekend effect."
(He also adjusts his numbers, by the way, to eliminate factors like the bias arising from the problem that eldery people are much more likely than young people to answer a landline phone.)
The adjustments aren't necessarily correct.
Ohio is the key.
Whoever wins it, wins the whole thing.
I'm a member of a minority demographic that is statistically worse off than blacks. I can't speak for blacks, but I can speak from observations with my own demographic.
IMO, nothing will change their mindsets or votes except cold turkey withdrawal from government dependence. There is just too much pressure for the status quo otherwise, plus you always get more of what you subsidize. Stop subsidizing, and you'll get less of what you subsidize (poverty, out-of-wedlock pregnancies, etc), almost like magic.
I know they think Obama had a bad night, and that he somehow was not as good as he normally is.
I don't believe that. I think his looking down, his long pauses, his drawn out "aaaannds" and his clipped pauses mid—sentences are exactly who he has always been.
I believe the media is hoping for a huge showing by Joe Biden this week. Anything close to a draw with Ryan will be painted by the media as if it were Obama himself performing. I remember Joe Biden making up stats from thin air continually in his debate with Palin. He's very very good at making stuff up and simply going on. (One was his statement that we'd spent more in a week/month in Iraq than we had in all of the Afghan war at the time....the war the dems considered the good war.)
Obama, on the other hand, will have to undergo a complete personality and style change to "be" different in Debate #2 with Romney. I believe they'll continue to pound the "5 trillion tax cut" theme, although Romney has never said other than a revenue-neutral 20% cut for the middle class. That could be lower middle and middle middle and still be true, and since the lower middle is responsible for very little tax at all, it wouldn't be hard to make it revenue neutral.
>> Rasmussen has to assume by the rules of polling science that the people who do answer his calls are still representative <<
No, he doesn't assume they are totally representative, and as a result, he makes many "adjustments" to the raw numbers.
From the getgo, I said Romney had a point, about too many people being too dependent on the government, but he did not state it correctly and gave many misimpressions.
What we don't know is what was not shown on the tape. I've seen posts indicating that it is edited, and doesn't include the context of the lead in to the
Also, we shouldn't forget this was a $50,000 a plate event.
I don't think many of us would want those donors to feel we were targeting monies to people who rightly will support O regardless of what he says or does.
Is 49% Romney's high water mark with Ras?
I don't remember him ever getting to the magical 50%, but I could be wrong.
>> The adjustments arent necessarily correct. <<
Well, one can also say that they aren't "necessarily" incorrect. So there!
I do feel like the establishment has limited my choices, ofcourse, as they always do. But like someone on here said, (Laz, I believe) all Romney really offers is an extension and I want that extension. (paraphrasing)
The stat that jumps out at me is the right direction vs. wrong direction. That's a huge gap, and in the voting booth, the people who find Obama like-able aren't going to pull the lever for him if they believe the country is headed in the wrong direction. This is also why undecideds will break for Romney big time.
Gary Johnson? The dude came out in support of the Occupy movement. He supports the legalization of weed and gay marriage. He states Iran is no great threat to our national security and wants to cut our military in half. Off the rails on national defense and social issues.
Yes, odd for most, but this media goes by its own ever changing rules.
If Obama is playing rope a dope as the Left claims the dope he roped is himself.

All three support Romney.
He was basically taking taxes and monetary stuff in this interview and I agreed with everything he said. I really want the government so small, inconsequential and out of my life as if could ever be. Especially my out of money.
