St. Anselm prof heading to Cyprus on study program
By SIMON RIOS
Sunday News Correspondent | December 29. 2012 10:12PM
Loretta Brady, an associate professor of psychology at St. Anselm College, was awarded a Fulbright Scholar grant to work in Cyprus from January to June 2013. (COURTESY)
Brady, 36, is an associate professor at St. Anselm College. Her focus is on trauma-related substance-abuse care, and on New Year's Day she heads to Cyprus for six months to study the implementation of such care in that divided island nation.
"My goal for the project is to learn from a system of treatment that is more unified than ours and to evaluate the degree to which the system has applied knowledge about trauma-informed care to its services," Brady said.
Brady - one of about 1,100 Fulbright Scholars - isn't traveling alone to Nicosia, Cyprus' capital. Her husband will join her along with their five children and a nanny. All eight will be in Cyprus for the entire six months.
The trip will be the continuation of a career journey that began on Sept. 11, 2001.
Brady was in New York City when the terrorist attacks took place. Counseling NYU students who had witnessed the attack and lost loved ones, she gained a level of exposure to trauma that she couldn't have planned.
She also worked with combat veterans at the VA hospital in Albany, N.Y., some of whom suffered from post-traumatic conditions. One man had been in a horrific submarine accident, and because he had no way of dealing with his trauma, she said, he turned to drugs. Brady used the man's story to inform her treatment of him.
She said in recent years trauma-informed care has been expanding in the U.S., and she points to better outcomes, predominantly among female patients.
According to the National Center for Trauma-Informed Care, the aim is to change the paradigm from one that asks, "What's wrong with you?" to one that asks, "What has happened to you?"
Brady illustrated the idea with the hypothetical example of a woman under court order to attend AA meetings despite a background that would make attendance difficult, if not impossible.
"Let's say you were sexually assaulted and you're trying to stop drinking, but you had a DWI. And you go to AA, and it's a dark church basement, and there's a lot of men near the front of the door, and you find that you are not able to get yourself out of your car and into the building because you're so triggered by the thought that you don't feel safe."
She took the hypothetical case a step further: The woman skipped the AA meeting and didn't tell her probation officer.
"What the hell - you might as well drink," Brady said, describing the kind of mindset that perpetuates a destructive cycle.
Trauma-informed care, she explained, would look at this as a normal reaction to the underlying issue the woman is dealing with: the sexual assault.
Trauma-informed care, she said, would help "give that woman a set of tools that she can use to cope with the experience that she has when she pulls into the parking lot and sees a group of men."
Brady said not every substance abuser has a traumatic history, but for marginalized communities - including the poor, some minorities, the under-educated - the risk of traumatic life events is much higher.
"And then when we look at populations that are incarcerated, or we look at populations that have experienced homelessness, we see (trauma prevalence rates) of over 90 percent," she said.
Unlike in the U.S., where substance abuse and mental health are treated in separate systems, Brady said, Cyprus treats those issues in the same system. She thinks the same should be true here.
In addition to performing research in Cyprus, Brady will teach a psychology course at the University of Nicosia, the largest private university in a country of 1 million people.
Her goal is to bring her knowledge of trauma to different arenas, as trauma, she said, influences not only drug abuse but also an array of other personal and social problems. Consistent with this belief, she has a consulting practice where she works with businesses to boost inclusion and diversity in the workplace.
She resigned from a position at the Elliot Hospital Pain Management Center, however, to take the Fulbright sabbatical.
Asked where she hopes to be in 10 years, Brady said she'll still be at St. Anselm, where, she hopes to work toward "breaking the silos" that prevent interdisciplinary work from taking place.

Wow, I really want this! I love cats, I used to have a cadillac, and am going through a purple phase! (I know it's a reference to Alice in Wonderland) So cool!
Re: Catvatar
I just really really love this.
Re: A patch of sun
..love the artwork...hadn't crossed my mind at all that these might be dead cats until i read some of the other comments here..
that being said...
..i MIGHT see how this could be misinterpreted depending on who was wearing it..i'm not one to normally judge a book by it's cover, but it stands to reason that a pile of cats printed across a little girl's chest has a different effect on the viewer than if it were brandished by some biker in a rough bar on the wrong side of town..
so while the soccer mom comment was ridiculously excessive (as if some sad-sob story of an uncle was necessary to her statement) and presumptuous, her first impression is no less valid because the circumstances of her observation most likely dictated it as such...
..well-founded, on the other hand? i hardly think so...
Re: The Artist
fantastic design. i have two siamese cats and this is totally right on ;)

Re: Paper Tiger
This is based on the origami of Sipho Mabona. I folded my own tiger model for reference, but it was nowhere near the level of detail and nuance he is capable of. It really made me appreciate the artform, and made me realize I have a long way to go with both my origami and graphic design skills!

Agggh...Brown,the colour of doom -- vs the far more horrible colour of DOOM mistakenly called Cream. *sighhhhh*
Oh man, if only this weren't brown....or at least were BROWN tabbies on a brown shirt, in which case I would feel the background could work as one of the colours in the design and would be matched in colour tones. I feel gray & brown very often clash, too, so brown tabbies instead would be a fix, or you could put the current grey tabby design on the darkest shade of gray (asphalt?).
It's just so rare that I can justify a design on brown... I may have one but I'm not even sure I have ANY woot brown shirts. And I LOVE this concept, art, and TABBIES of all sorts. Maybe you could consider submitting another version or two w/ the suggested change(s) ?Pretty pretty please? :D

Re: Snowy Footprints
As others have said, the background 'curtain' seems inconsistent with the snowy outdoor environment and streetlamp. The small clumps of grass near the base of the curtain also don't fit - not with an indoor theater, nor with a urban city sidewalk.
The art and concept are beautiful, elegant and far superior to most other entries - and with a definite and more polished setting and background, I think this would be a winner.
Re: Catlas
Re: Dreams of Fish
Love the art and concept, but the design seems a little spare/empty/lacking to me. I think adding in more stars and perhaps the neighouring constellations to either side of the fish would make this design more complete. You could also then simply brighten and perhaps slightly enlarge stars of the fish constellation so that it stands out without needing connecting lines.
And what about a Navy background shirt colour, which would make stars easier, maybe, as the stars could be half-toned in degrees of white? Just some thoughts.
Walmazan- my words have been twisted enough now that my original message is lost- I hope that you will at least read what I have to say here, because I have no problem with you or your designs at all.
Like I've said several times now, this design is well executed and looks great- I just had a problem with you saying you hadn't seen this idea before, when I know you saw radiomode's entry in the letter C derby. Thinking back on it, I shouldn't have said anything. It is obviously possible you forgot about having seen that entry before, and that's fine. It was a long time ago, we all make mistakes.
All of us try to come up with appealing t-shirt designs that people will enjoy each week. When you are designing for shirts, it is very easy to run into similar ideas, and with the number of different designers and shirt sites out there, it is nearly impossible to see every single one before you post. Sometimes it is just the concept that's similar. Others, like in this case, the execution is similar as well. Woot will make the final decision, and my comments will have nothing to do with it.
I don't think you have ever had a similar shirts exist rejection before in all your time on woot. I don't know if this week will be the first, but either way, it is a reflection on your work as a whole. You have a consistent and recognizeable style, and are able to make old ideas into your own. This particular one is too close for my tastes, but others obviously disagree. To each their own, and best of luck to you regardless of what happens.
To some of you others in this thread (you know who you are)- If you want to pretend to care about the rules of the derby, at least be consistent with your claims. Like I said before, snarky and evasive comments won't accomplish, whether you want to address the issues that were mentioned or not. The rejection notice doesn't say "same shirt exists," it says "similar shirts exist." If you want to tell me that the designs aren't similar, you might need to get your eyes checked. I realized that it was probably a bad PR move to bring this up at all, especially given the power of Walmazan's name, but I have been making an effort to be more active recently on the forums and didn't think my comments were unwarranted or unfair. This thread is just another crystal clear example of double standards on woot (and I mean within the community, not the staff).
i can haz 1?
In all seriousness... really nice. I winced when I saw the derby topic but this delivers. Will buy one for sure when it prints. And it will.
midgerock wrote:I understand what you were going for with the design since I own a cat myself and they just love laying in the sun but this looks like a pile of dead cats baking in the sun to me. varied lengths to the legs of the cats and kittens and the one open eye on the bottom cat which I realize is staring at the mouse seems too open and dead looking. If it was more closed and spying it may read better.
THIS is another reason I strongly suggest a different colour shirt, and perhaps with the extra colour you'd gain from being able use the background asphalt/grey, you could do green eyes which would certainly make the whole design more lively & less dead/sick. I associate yellow-tinted white of the eyes with the the disease jaundice
Thank you everyone for your kind comments and compliments.
Although I have never had the experience of paint paw prints on the wall (don't ask about the white prints on the hardwood floor), I came up with this idea after seeing the tree trunk like mud streaks on the storm door window with a scattering of prints above it. I am concerned as the cats were in the same room watching me as I drew this design even going so far as to jump up on the computer desk to stare at the monitor, I am now keeping my art supplies under lock and key for the foreseeable future.
Re: DeCATpitated
..this makes me think "itchy and scratchy" meets "ren and stimpy"...i love it!
Re: Lick Everything
I need one for my daughter (who currently thinks it's hilarious to lick absolutely everything). I might get one myself too. Incidentally, I think I gave this cat to a friend in college - she liked licking all the cheese off of cheese balls and puffs. She wouldn't eat the puff but all that processed cheese flavored orange stuff was apparently delightful.
cptgone wrote:love the drawing of the cat, like the concept too. amazing!
agreed...i've often thought about this in different ways..having it illustrated like this provides a profound visual metaphor that speaks beautifully of the relationship between us and our cats...
Can't we all just get along?
Cats are suppose to make people happy!

While the use of the tattle button is nice, waiting for woot's Monday rejections quietly sitting on one's hands has for hypocrisy sake never EVER been the woot communities strong point. =/ Ponders the group of comments in this thread... it's like opposite day.
I also found at least 2 other similar shirts OTHER than the woot one or the teefury one which I remembered but couldn't locate. This one was at Snoorgtees:
Honestly we have an plethora of "Similar shirts existing" that need to be rejected this derby. Pocket cats, there are upwards of 10 already existing shirts that have printed, One them was even drawn by me and printed at LOLmart a while ago. Cat's clinging to shirts another 6 or 7 that I can find. A cat having caught a computer mice, I found 3 because I wanted to draw that one and double checked. EDIT: I forgot about the ying yang cats, I found 6 or 7 of those as existing shirts as well.
Honestly, I'm surprised MORE people haven't posted on all of these similar shirts. Anyway, I'm going to go back to sitting on my hands.

To be honest, Walmazan does get the benefit of the doubt from me. He has earned it by proving he is a respectable artist time and time again. In your argument, it was never a question of "similar shirt exists;" it was more of "I think you stole this design." You made an accusation against Walmazan, and now you are trying to play the victim!?! If he had a continuing history of "questionable" designs like this, then yes, I'm sure we would treat him no differently than you. Bottom line is it is not a double standard; we would have to let Walmazan slide on like 900 "questionable" designs before that was possible.
I love this one, especially since I'm currently fixated on cheesy poof's!
Re: Finally caught it
I like this one, but something about the cat's ears or the face is throwing me off. I'm a huge fan though, and love all your other entries!
Re: We Are Siamese v2
I love this shirt, I love the color choices! They go so well together. I really hope this one prints, this one's my favorite of your kitties this time!

Hello and welcome to woot! It is simply wonderful and heartening to see someone so passionate about cats. I myself am the proud and crazy owner of three cats and do very much empathise with the empassioned defense of their worthiness, goodness, and should-not-be-dead-ness. With my own expert expertise in cattery and well-honed master skills of forum readery, I am here to assure you that the artist is doing nothing more suspicious than illustrating a hyperbolic they-sure-do-love-that-sunlight catpile. If you have design criticism along the lines of Mr. Midgerock's, as seen above, then I will not be one to necessarily disagree. But please do let yourself rest easy in the knowledge that Teh Kitteh is well-respected in this design.
If, on the other hand, you are trolling the established woot trope of Today's Offended Party, then I see what you did there and salute you.
Wow. You are a rock star. Your initial reaction in your response(I...wut...) was the same as mine, but you...you..you just-wow!
Ever thought of running for office?

Did you see the resub that was entered almost right away after the original? It's much more realistic. The "curtain", I guess, was supposed to represent trees. So there's a much more literal one resubmitted. I really like it.
i like the details such as the circles, crown, heterochromic eyes, and especially the red splatter. makes it seem like a lion that has just come out victorious in a gruesome battle

I'm distracted by the eyes though... not sure if it's the symmetry or the color difference that's doing it, but it seems off to me.
I'd still buy one

Aaron Brooks...Chris Rock...ever see them together?
Nice call Laim
Houston 107- Pistons 96 da streak is ova For the Pistons it was in Houston we have a problem...And the Rockets red glare.... The Pistons jumped off the 15-11 lead after a nice 9-0 run only to see the Rockets put together a 18-4 run to close the first qtr. The Rockets continued the assault in the second qtr shooting 70% and pushing the lead up to 19 points, before the Pistons woke up and closed the half on a 12-1 run and we were down 10 at the half 56-46. Rip basically kept them in the game in the first half as he was the only Piston who could hit a shot for awhile as his running mate Stuckey was something like 3-13 in the first half. In fact in the last 5 minutes of the first qtr no Piston could get the ball to drop. The Pistons let the game get away from them in the third and once again the rockets stretch the lead to 20... Pistons had no answer for Aaron Brooks who danced through the Pistons paint either scoring (23 pts) or dishing out assists (10). you got to wonder while Joe had his scouts in eastern Washington checking out Stuckey, did those guys even travel down across the border to see Brooks playing in Oregon? (Brooks was taken 26th in the 2007 draft right before Afflolo and 11 picks behind Stuckey at 15). Just imagine if we had Brooks and Rip starting and Gordon and Bynum coming off the bench?? Back to the game...I think we were only 2-4 from the FT line in the first half as for awhile all we took were jumpshots...we were racking up assists when we did score, but could our defense could not stop them so it didn't really matter. we finished with 26 assists (including 9 by Atkins) which should have been a victory, but once we fell behind, we took to many threes and only hit 4 of 21. Summers got into the game in garbage time and hit one of those threes and looked decent going to the hoop. Rip led the Piston charge tonight with 21 pts, but tonight Coach Q held him to 30 minutes, CV had a quiet 16 points off the bench, but most of those occurred in the second half. Stuckey forced to many shots and finished with an Old Stuckey like 7/24 shots and 17 pts and 5 assists. JJ played forty minutes tonight...he;s young I guess and with only a short one hour trip from Houston to New Orleans, he should be able to get a good nights rest for tomorrow's game. No Ariza for the Rockets, but T-mac played in his first game since last February and hit a 3 ball and grabbed 3 boards on 7 mins of play. Piston draftee Chase Budinger started in place of Ariza and had a double-double with 16 pts, 12 brds and five assists.....so nope they didn't really need Trevor...Carl Landry scored 19 pts off the bench so nope they didn't really need Tracey. Scola scored 23 pts so nope they really don't miss Yao.....Ok enough...
Perfectly good play from our starters. But our bench? Atkins is totally useless on the defensive end, and can't do a thing on the offensive end. And Kwame (minus 12 in this one)simply gets to plays too slowly. Ming did not play in this game - a fact Kuester failed to notice. Just who does he imagine Kwame was in there guarding? He certainly did not actually guard anybody. And on offense, Kwame is a zero because if he gets near the basket he just gets hacked cause they love to watch him brick free throws. So this loss goes to Dumars for hiring his buddy Atkins, and for coach Q for letting Kwame play way too much in a game where he fit not at all. Rip was plus one for this game, despite a very bad shooting quarter in the 3rd quarter. He scored 21 for us, on so so shooting. Can't blame the loss on him. CV? Missed some shots early, got closer in and put in some points for us. Stuckey? Bad shooting night. But do you really want Stuckey to stop driving in? Hey, the starters did fine in this game, they were not why we lost this one. We did collectively go cold for strethes, but really, it was the total failure of our bench, specifically with Atkins and Kwame in, to play any defense. (Now, late in the game, we certainly had some bench players playing good D, like Summers for instance.) Summers got some action. A bit, maybe 3 minutes, to start the 2nd quarter then much of the 4th. He looked to score inside, and he confindently nailed a three. Absolutey he needs to get a shot at playing time. JJ does not have to play that heavy a minutes schedule to keep him involved. Daye shot well, but in this game, with the strong front line Houston uses, it was tough for him around the hoop. Guys like JJ, Stuckey, Rip for a stretch, CV, were missing a lot of shots. But we certainly scored enough to win this one if our defense could have held. CV was another guy finding it hard to hold position in this one. Rip did put in a lot of jumpers, but really, do we want to revert? We have had a trend of becoming an inside team. Maybe Rip needs to come off the bench. Gordon gives us better ball handling vs. Rip, and he can attack the basket pretty well. Bynum and Gordon sat out with ankle sprains. Still no Tay and still no word as to when he might return. (That week has gone by now, the one he said he was hopefully going to only need.) Wilcox got in for much of the 4th. Maybe half of it? Nothing of note. Thats still a lot better than Kwame. For people who just don't get why I harp on Atkins - tape the game - look at the defensive sequences. See just how uninvolved Chucky is at times. He'll zone up an area - but he can't zone up an area as he is too short to affect the play against most NBA players. Sorry Q, you ain't hiding Chucky very well. Try not dressing him, then the other team can't exploit his lack of ability to play NBA defense. Got to comment on how good Daye looks shooting the ball off the dribble on midrangers. Rip is great at coming off picks, but Daye is clearly the better at making his own shots. A lot of that is just the fact he is so darn tall and lengthy. Shorter players, even 6-7 players, just do not affect his shot. Thats about all I can think of at the moment. I studied the film on this one quite a bit before posting, which I enjoy a lot. And I enjoy reading other's comments. Everyone have a great night. Oh yeah, JJ, while missing a lot of shots, did have some serious dunks amongst his 15 points or so. On fast breaks. And making his free tosses for and ones.
Chucky single handedly lost this game for us. 4 minutes and :37 seconds left in the third quarter. Enter Chucky Atkins for Rodney Stuckey. Pistons down by a manageable 13 points, 55-68. Scola is at the line for a shooting foul by Kwame Brown (also a mistake). Misses both, we go down the court, Chucky makes a 19 footer late in the shot clock to put us within 11. Rockets score, back to 13. Next trip down, Charlie V gets the ball on the right wing, takes Scola into the lane, spins, hits an amazing 5 foot jumper. I got goosebumps he made that look so easy (could have had it all night). We get a defensive miracle (no bucket, despite 2 offensive rebounds) march down the court only to have to earn a bucket by an offensive board, a Charlie V three, which SCREAMS to me, HE'S ON FIRE!, get him the ball. 62-70, we are within 8. Get a defensive stop, we could be within 5. We force Aaron Brooks into a nasty looking three point attempt, Charlie V man handles the ball out of Kwames grasp, kicks it up to Chucky, and immediately follows only to be passed up on a wide open three attempt for Chucky to get his skeet ball on. No one under the basket to board, 2 Rockets in direct contention to the shot, he bombs it. That's it right there. A 2 and a half minute failure to recognize the hot hand lost the game. Nevermind the cold shooting by us, the extremely hot shooting by Houston, or the chip on the shoulder from getting pounded by the Raptors. We could have made it up at the end of the third quarter, but instead Chucky was playing for tickets.
Chucky did contribute with 10 assists, but every quick guard races around him and the big ones like Billups shoots over him. So he is a liability out there as you say Lee and even bigger one when he starts to believe his jumper might fall. If he is going to be out there, then he has to drive to the hoop or pass....IMO
I've never seen a 9 assist, 24 minute bench guard blamed for losing a game. Until tonight. We were down 13 when Chucky came in. I don't think we got any closer than 9 or 7 the rest of the way. He can't defend Aaron Brooks. No one else could either. If they could have stopped Brooks with Hamilton or Stuckey, they would have. They had no answer for Scola (Wallace's check), Brooks (Stuckey and Chucky's check) or Hayes who bullied every Piston inside, and only JJ had the heart to keep challenging him physically. I'll agree with Lee on Kwame, he is less than worthless. It's bad enough we play Maxiell and high five each other if he gets 4 rebounds. Kwame isn't a passer, a scorer, a rebounder, or whatever. He just takes up space, and against an active team with shooters, he is a liability. He's a liability against anyone except a slow plodding center who will play patty cake with his tiny mittens. But to blame Chucky, when Stuckey stunk so bad at the 1, CV struggled to put the ball in the rim early and couldn't defend a lamp post, and Maxiell was an offensive liability AGAIN.... We're simply not as good as Houston, who plays hard and hustles like us, but is capable of doing it at a very fast pace. Brooks is a better PG than Stuckey is right now. He might not be in 18 months, but right now, he is night and day better at his position. We have only one big man (4/5) who can shoot a jumpshot. Houston has 4. They made us pay for that tonight. Sadly, one of their big men, was someone we gave away for nothing. Chase Budinger. Not exactly one of Joe's more brilliant moves. One more thing. Big Ben had no fouls, no blocks and no steals. That is how important to the team he is. We simply cannot compete against good teams if he is not playing at a high level. Hamilton makes jumpers, and does little else. He's not a game changer the way Wallace is. And I am pretty tired of an offense where he never sets screens for anyone else, and everyone has to stand around setting screens for him. It is not funny anymore. We don't have a pro-style offense without a 3 point threat like Gordon. We have a dink and dunk set with Hamilton. And we have a powerball set with Atkins and Stuckey. One of these is good enough to win. One of these is good enough to compete. And one of these will yield the same results we saw in the second half of last season. Stuckey and Hamilton have played plenty of games together, and have none of the chemistry of Stuckey+AI or Stuckey+Chucky or Hamilton+Billups. Btw, I'm not bummed out. This sort of thing is expected. I hope the Rip Hamilton experience ends soon. It's time to move on.
First game I can remember in a while when the team didn't come out ready to play. Too much time off, something. Stuckey didn't rest on his laurels, he tossed them onto the floor and stomped on them. Still 13-24 from the rooks. That's 29-72 for everyone else, lead by the POY's 7-24. 4-21 from three isn't going to win in this league. Since they can't hit them, they've got to find better shots, and that requires a point guard. No way this team should take 22% of their shots from three. Anyway, I thought Wilcox a time or two looked like the player I expected him to be. And not in a bad way.
Just when you thought Ol Roscoe had lost a lil edge...BAM!!!! Wonderful post my friend simply wonderful. You saw that too, I really thought that was big momentum swinger right there. But the part that pissed me off is that when Chucky launched that shot, JJ had Brooks posted up under the basket, an easy dump down to JJ would have yielded an easy 2 points, yeah that was probably the play that almost made me destroy my TV.
Yeah I saw a little bounce in his step last night, hopefully Q takes notice. If Rip HAS to play then I'd like to see Q make an adjustment. Take Max out of the starting lineup, go with a 3 guard lineup of Chucky, Rip and Stuckey with JJ at the four. I knew in the 1st qtr watching us play the whole, let's stand around and watch Rip run around until he launches a jumper was going to do us in, we looked just like we've always looked................
Good summary, Roscoe.
I didn't realize Stuckey started off 1-10. Or that Rip had tweaked a hamstring. Good summary of the game. PISTONS: One Step Back "I felt pretty good early," Hamilton said, the right ankle that cost him 21 games thrust in an ice bucket and a heavy bag of ice strapped around his right thigh. "But then I hurt my hamstring and that kind of slowed me up some. It was bothering me. That's why I was hobbling around. I know every time I sat down, it would lock up on me even more." . . Interesting conversation with Arnie Kander after the morning shootaround, as he was wrapping Will Bynum's ankles so Bynum could get in a post-shootaround workout of his own, regarding sprained ankles in general and the new shoes Bynum is now wearing. Actually, it's more like an old shoe. Seems shoe companies, prompted by feedback from players to make their shoes lighter, have sacrificed a good deal of the support basketball shoes once provided them. Kander took the shoe Bynum is now wearing – as opposed to the lighter shoe he started to wear only this season, and he had on while suffering the sprains to both ankles that have forced him to miss the last three games – and bent the toe upward. That's OK. But he said if you can also bend the toe downward to touch the heel, which is what can be done with the new and lighter shoes, then it's not offering satisfactory support. Kander scoffed at the notion that the lighter shoes would make the players appreciably faster and said it winds up being a complete non-factor because the material used to reduce weight winds up absorbing perspiration the older material would not. He compared the newer shoes to "moccasins," saying they'd be great for a walk on the beach but not for basketball.
The Pistons shot 5 air balls in the 1st quarter from 3 different players. I don't think the Pistons are as dependant on Rip coming off screens as they have been in the past, but right now Stuckey can only choose between running the offense and not looking for his shot or looking for his shot and forgetting about everyone else. He took himself out of the game by trying to do the right thing. Stuckey got a fortunate whistle on what should have been offensive fouls. The Pistons D were shredded by Brooks and HOU's big men were the beneficiaries of that. An unwelcome blast from the past. Teams that run and push the ball give this team fits. Big Ben had a senior moment last night. The Rocket's play by play man remarked "Oh my God, that's the worst free throw I've ever seen!" after Ben's first airball from the free throw line. Sadly, I don't think it would even crack Kwame's top 5 for this year. I understand people are frustrated after Budinger's game last night, but I wouldn't call a conditional 2nd rounder and cash considerations nothing. I expected this to be a tough game, they could go 1-2 and have a good trip. If they lost tonight I would be disappointed.
When we take the choice out of his hands, and just make him a scoring 2-Guard, he seems to inherently know what to do and just make plays. I was so sick last night watching Rodney dribble the air out of the ball while waiting for Rip to run around a hundred screens. Everyone is scratching their heads wondering how we only had 9 TO's but they had a ton of fast break points.........because of all those damn jumpers we took throughout the game that lead to run outs. Rip's return singlehandedly changed the way we have been playing the game. Stuckey the PG only took 4FT's last night. We went from attacking the paint and getting to the line, getting the opposition's players in foul trouble, geting into the bonus early in the qtr....to throwing up a bunch of jumpers that lead to Hou run outs............just sick!!!!!
Stuckey stunk! I liked when the Rockets' play by play guy had this nugget: "...Ben Wallace gets fouled and misses the shot... ...aaaannndddd he'll likely miss the free throws as well..." A. Brooks is very good. Good trade for them last year when they shipped Skip.
I was watching the HOU broadcast last night and they were highlighting the play of Stuckey and Brooks over the last 3 games. Ignoring the fact that Hot Rod wasn't playing the point then he had far better stats, shooting %, assists (almost double). Then the game started. Brooks can't shoot, but he can run a team. Stats are just numbers.
What was really messed up last night was the fact that Hou played 3 guards, Brooks, Lawry, and Budinger. Not one of them can keep up withRodney The 2-Guard or,Rodney The Playmaker but,Rodney "Stand at the top the key dribbling all day, until Rip comes clean off a pick, or drive head on into 4 defenders because the shot clock has gone down as we were waiting for Rip to get open" The PG, is damn near self checkWe got a good young player in Rodney Stuckey who's strengths we need to play to.
Kgreg, do you think Stuckey would be better off playing the Shooting Guard position?
No, I don't want to pigeon hole him into one spot, that's 20 year old antiquated thinking............

Seniors Morgan Leonard and Lindsey Morgan of the Canisius College women's lacrosse team were both selected to play in the IWLCA/Under Armour North-South Senior All-Star Game. In addition, Griffs' leader Scott Teeter is set to serve as head coach for the North squad in Saturday's contest.
Leonard and Morgan, who are also on the North roster, become the third and fourth Griffs to be selected to play in the game, joining Chelsea Martinez in 2009 and Allison Daley in 2011. Canisius is also one of just eight schools in the country to have multiple selections to the teams this season.
Leonard earned a number of honors in her final year at Canisius during the 2013 campaign. She was named the MAAC Midfielder of the Year, while also collecting second-team IWLCA All-West/Midwest honors and receiving unanimous selection to the All-MAAC First Team.
The Sykesville, Md. native recorded 71 points in 2013, scoring a school-record 59 goals to go along with 12 assists. She also led the team with 64 ground balls and 51 caused turnovers, while placing second with 43 draw controls. Leonard currently ranks second nationally with 3.37 ground balls per game, second with 2.68 caused turnovers per game and 12th with 3.11 goals per game.
Leonard made her mark in just two seasons at Canisius. She finished her tenure ranked 10th in the program's history with 110 points, eighth with 88 goals and third with 91 caused turnovers, while helping lead the Griffs to two MAAC Championships. She was also named 2012 MAAC Defensive Player of the Year, while earning MAAC All-Tournament Team honors twice, including MVP accolades as a junior.
An all-conference selection in each of the last three seasons, including first-team honors in 2012 and 2013, Morgan recorded 50 points, 38 goals, 12 assists, 49 ground balls, 36 caused turnovers and 15 draw controls in 2013. The senior finished the season ranked 12th nationally with 1.89 caused turnovers per game.
Morgan finished her standout career ranked among the best in the school's record book in a number of categories. She is tied for seventh in the program's history with 130 career points, while ranking sixth with 104 career goals and third with 91 career caused turnovers.
The winningest coach in MAAC history, Teeter completed his 11th season in charge of the Griffs in 2013. He has led Canisius to the last three conference titles, marking the first time in MAAC history that a team has won three-straight women's lacrosse crowns. Canisius also finished the campaign with a school-record 14 wins in 2013.
The all-star game is set to be played at Cabrini College in Radnor, Pa. on Saturday.

New Orleans Alternative Break (NOLA)
Posted on December 14, 2012
In August of 2005 Hurricane Katrina left much of New Orleans in ruins. Every year since then, the Alternative Winter Break group has organized a trip during Winter break which exemplifies Wheaton's dedication to service. Jennifer Irving, 2012 NOLA President, Jessie Durand and Dana Polanichka, NOLA Co-Advisors, and all of the NOLA group members are preparing for the annual trip to help in the ongoing efforts to rebuild New Orleans.
Throughout the year, NOLA group members hold fundraisers, sells baked goods, chocolate bars, and tee shirts to help defray travel costs to New Orleans. The group hosted its largest fundraiser of the year at the Faculty/Staff Holiday Craft Fair. There were numerous raffle prizes donated by participants of the fair and by local businesses and that meant many happy raffle drawing winners! The trip is scheduled for January 13–20, 2013. All the best to NOLA's group of very dedicated volunteers.

Well hello,
I am looking for the best route into teaching english abroad, and exploring nearly all avenues open to me and my tight financial situation, I would like some opinions on the following.
I would love to teach english in mainland Europe as of September for a 6-12 month contract, preferably to children and/or teenagers. I do not have any experience in this field, but I have got time working with me so that I can gain some good experience. A lot of the 4-week courses available are far out of my price range, so they will have to be overlooked unfortunately. I understand a lot of the weekend/online courses are either complete rubbish or can only offer so much, and generally are pointless if I want to secure a long contract abroad. SO, how about this for a plan? Indeed gain a TEFL/TESOL qualification from one of these weekend courses, then work at a camp over the summer. Would this be a suitable path accepted by future employers?
You're experienced opinions would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks a mil

Hello all!
Programs like CELTA/Trinity/SIT are not currently possible for me, so I was planning on applying to a graduate TEFL certification program through a local university. Then I read this in the tefl.net FAQ:
"Universities that offer their own TEFL certificates might train you well but should generally not be your first choice because a certificate that is only offered by one institution will never be well recognised in the global industry that TEFL is."
The program I'm applying to seems decent, but definitely lacks name recognition (University of Central Florida). It requires 4 of the following 5 classes for certification (I would do practicum):
TSL 5345 Methods of ESOL Teaching (3 credit hours) or TSL 6940 ESOL Practicum (3 credit hours)
TSL 5940 Issues in TEFL (3 credit hours)
TSL 6142 Critical Approaches to ESOL (3 credit hours)
TSL 6250 Applied Linguistics in ESOL (3 credit hours)
TSL 6350 Grammar ESOL (3 credit hours)
My goal is to teach in Turkey (Istanbul preferred, but I'm open) or Bosnia & Herzegovina. My question is, exactly how important is name recognition? Is this program worth the money?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

In a last minute surprising move the Bush administration has hired Democracy International to serve as monitors in order to ensure the Pakistan election tomorrow is conducted in a fair and honest manner. It previously contacted the Carter Center and the Asia Foundation but these groups declined to serve as monitors on grounds it was impossible to ascertain the honesty of the election due to security conditions. Democracy International has never served as a monitor for elections. Mark Scheider, of the International Crisis Group, blasted the Bush decision claiming it was unreasonable to "go in two or three days before the election and expect to be able to make a judgement." He said this contradicts "lessons learned in 25 years of election monitoring."
Meanwhile, back in Pakistan, Asif Zardari, co-chairman of the Pakistan People's Party, which polls estimate will receive close to 50% of a fair vote, said the Musharraf government is harassing party workers, several have been killed and installations raided. The last minute Bush decision raises questions. Is it an attempt to lend international support to Musharraf if questions arise concerning the honesty of the election?

Saturday, Nov. 16 — 1 p.m.
Koessler Athletic Center
Canisius vs. Fairfield
Sunday, Nov. 17 — 1 p.m.
Koessler Athletic Center
The Canisius volleyball team concludes the 2013 season this weekend by hosting Quinnipiac University and Fairfield University in the Koessler Athletic Center.
- Canisius enters the weekend with an 8-8 record in conference play. The Golden Griffins are mathematically eliminated from qualifying for next weekend's four-team MAAC Championship but can still achieve a double-digit win total in conference play.
- With two wins on the weekend, the Golden Griffins would have 10 MAAC wins in 2013.
- Canisius would have 10 conference wins for the seventh time in the eight years since the MAAC went to a double round-robin schedule in 2006.
- Canisius is one of three teams in the MAAC, along with Fairfield and Siena, to have at least seven seasons of 10 or more league wins in the past eight campaigns.
- Canisius has won four of its last five matches in the Koessler Athletic Center.
- Sophomore Lauren Siebert leads the Griffs and ranks sixth in the MAAC in attack percentage (.259). Siebert is hitting .381 in the last five matches and has not committed an attack error during that stretch
- Senior Roxanne Hernandez is third in the MAAC in blocks per set (1.11). Hernandez has 96 block assists on the season, which ranks fourth in the single-season record books. The 6-foot-3 middle blocker needs eight block assists on the weekend to move into third place.
- Junior Emily Litwin leads the MAAC in digs per set (4.91) and also leads the conference at 5.15 digs per set in league play.
- The four seniors on the Golden Griffin roster will play their final matches in a Canisius uniform this weekend. The volleyball program will honor the quartet prior to the start of Sunday's match.
- Emily Elek enters the weekend with 971 career kills in 118 matches played, ranking 10th in career kills. The Wescosville, Pa. native was named the MVP of the Bucknell Invitational earlier this year.
- Roxanne Hernandez enters the weekend with 419 kills and 270 blocks, ranking 10th in career blocks. Hernandez earned All-Tournament Team honors at the UB Invitational in 2012.
- Sydney Palka enters the weekend with 1,822 career assists in 106 matches. Palka ranks eight in program history in assists. The Tonawanda, N.Y. native earned All-Tournament Team honors at the Golden Griffin Invitational earlier this year.
- Jessica Warner enters the weekend having appeared in 98 career matches and recorded 339 kills, 365 digs, 56 service aces and 106 blocks. Warner is a two-time selection to the MAAC All-Academic Team.
- Quinnipiac enters Saturday's match with a 5-24 overall record and 3-13 record in conference play. The Bobcats earned a road win in five sets over Saint Peter's on Nov. 3.
- Allison Leigh leads the MAAC in blocks per set (1.24) as Quinnipiac ranks second in the MAAC in the category at 2.09 team blocks per set. Leigh also leads the team at 2.02 kills per set.
- Fairfield comes to Western New York with a 15-12 overall record and 12-4 record in conference play. The Stags overcame a 1-3 start to conference play with a 11-match winning streak against MAAC opponents. Iona snapped that winning streak with a five-set win over the Stags last weekend.
- Hayley Moyer leads the MAAC in attack percentage (.344) while Marilyn Peizer is fourth in the league in kills per set (3.11).

Spitzer's Girlfriend Lis Smith Leaves De Blasio Team
(Jen Chung) This morning, Capital New York reported that Lis Smith, current girlfriend of married (though separated) former governor Eliot Spitzer, was no longer working for Mayor de Blasio's transition. And someone at the Post is feeling smug—or perhaps a little wistful over the loss of future front page headlines.
De Blasio chief of staff Laura Santucci told Capital, "Lis was contracted to work with our team through the transition. She did exemplary work and we are grateful for the support she provided. Now that the transition is concluding, she is returning to her work as a political consultant." Which means working for the Democratic Governors Association and Maryland governor Martin O'Malley. However, it had been suggested she was in line to work in the mayor's press office at City Hall.

Thread: Kyle Juszczyk
Re: Kyle Juszczyk
I think Leach was in danger even before drafting Juszczyk, but isn't in much more now that we have him. If Leach takes a pay cut I think they find a way to fit both.
As for Juszczyk himself, I couldn't be happier because I've been waiting for us to get a player like him for years, and he's probably the best FB/TE/H-back hybrid to come out in awhile.

The more I see this kid play, the more I think he's going to be a tight end/ H back on our team, and maybe we go without a full back altogether. Rice and Pierce are both very productive out of one back sets and this kids ability to motion out and play the slot is legit.
If Caldwell has him, Pitta and Ed in, teams will have to either send out the heavy d to stop the run, and then we have 5 legit receivers to send out, or they'll have to go nickel and we'll be able to run straight at the spot a linebacker should be.
I think he adds a level of flexibility to the base offense that Leach simply doesn't, even though leach is definitely a better pure FBMy motto was always to keep swinging. Whether I was in a slump or feeling badly or having trouble off the field, the only thing to do was keep swinging. -Hank Aaron
Re: Kyle Juszczyk
You can shift him from behind Joe, out to the Jacoby and Pitta side of the formation for a bunch or trips look which has its own benefits, but would in particular draw the attention of the deep safety, thus putting Torrey (lined up opposite the bunch/trips side) in a 1-on-1 situation.
Maybe the best benefit is that just like a LB will struggle to cover Ray, he will struggle even more so to cover Juice with his far greater slot/spread familiarity and coverage recognition."The Ravens are not taking Jimmy Smith at 26!" -- Me, the day before the 2011 Draft
"On their way to the podium, the Ravens FO is going to collectively step over my dead body and select...Breshad Perriman." -- Me, the day before the 2015 Draft

Re: Kyle Juszczyk
He may end up similar to Walker in how the Ravens utilize him, but he already has better hands and runs crisper routes than Walker. Walker had an epically bad drop rate last year with 9 drops off just 30 catchable targets. And it's not like last year was just an anomaly as he was at or near the top of the list for TEs in 2011 as well.

As you know I am making my Jango Fett costume, after some alluminium armor parts, my flight suit and the emmo belt, I started to research about the ghirt belt, 20 or 21 rounds of bolo braid, I questioned me "why Jango needs leather bolo around the waist?", what the purpose is?, well, I keep looking for local handyman that would can make the leather 6mm bolo, a handyman talked me about a mexican tradition in Zitlala. I ran to google and I found an ancestral mexican tradition asking God for healthy harvest, you can make the search as me and you will find many Jangos & Bobba Feta analogies.
Here you have a video:
Here a little description about this ritual:
May 5, Tigers meet in the square, their helmets are made of heavy leather from cow, her eyes are mirrors, they look through the mouth where teeth are painted boar, they use several layers of clothing to cushion the blows that are handed to each other, they protect your kidneys around their waists with several turns of rope or braided leather belts...
If you want read more about this here some links in spanish:
- Lugares de México - Zitlala
El culto a las deidades de la lluvia, Guerrero
Pagina nueva 1
Probably many of you don`t agree with me, but in the images I look:
Helmet, ghirt, braids and flight suits.
Many times the fiction emulates the real life, may be or may be not, you will make your own opinion.

The new Arsenal away kit is based on the iconic kit worn when the Club won the League Championship in dramatic style in 1989.
Available to buy online via Arsenal.com by calling 020 7619 5000 or in Arsenal Club shops, the kit sees a return to a yellow and blue shirt, to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Club winning the League in the last match of the season at Anfield on 26th May 1989. To mark this special occasion, current Arsenal stars lined up for the promotional photoshoot alongside legends from that great night including goalscorers Alan Smith and Michael Thomas.
Produced by manufacturers Nike, the kit features a yellow and blue shirt with a red stripe down the sleeves and body. 'Gunners' is stamped on the neck and, as with the new Arsenal home shirt, this kit brings a welcome return to the Club's motto 'Victory through Harmony' from the Latin inscription 'Victoria Concordia Crescit', which is included in the inside neck of the shirt. The kit is made from Nike Dri-Fit, an innovative technology that enhances player performance by drawing sweat away from the body through to the fabric's surface to evaporate, while its three-dimensional construction allows for more air space around the skin to reduce clinging.
Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas said of the '89 League win: "I was only two years old on that famous night, but I know the players are legends, everyone loves them and we all hope that we can do the same with this team. It is always a great feeling when you score or win a match, so imagine what it feels like if you win the League in those circumstances. Every player would like to live a moment like Michael did."
Michael Thomas, Arsenal legend and scorer of the late dramatic goal at Anfield in 1989 said: "I get asked about the goal once or twice a day if I'm lucky! The feeling among the squad heading up there was fantastic. A month before George Graham had changed the back four to a back five so it was great for us attacking midfield players, we just had to attack and have no fear. Bringing the trophy back south was an honour in itself for me, it was just fantastic."
Ex-Arsenal forward Alan Smith, who scored the first goal at Anfield in '89 said: "It's wonderful that this match is not just Arsenal folklore, but football folklore in general. Liverpool were the dominant force at the time and had a fantastic team. I remember going up on the coach and there was an element of 'nothing to lose'. A headline in a newspaper that day was 'Men against boys', so we took that up and put it on the board in the dressing room! "George Graham told us just before we went out for the match to have no regrets, go out there and enjoy it and that's what we did. It was just amazing to be involved that night. It was a great night for Arsenal Football Club, but I also remember the great acts of sportsmanship by Liverpool. Many stewards and police at Anfield congratulated us on the pitch, it was a very emotional time, and the Kop gave us a standing ovation which just shows the class of Liverpool. When we eventually got into the dressing room, the champagne was flowing and the journey back down the M6 and M1 just went like a flash."
The new away kit is priced from £40 adults and £33 junior sizes. Arsenal's flagship store The Armoury, along with the All Arsenal Store and The Arsenal Store Finsbury Park will be open from 9am — 6pm on 1st August, with The Arsenal Store St Albans open from 9.30am — 5.30pm.

A Pyramiding Rage! (バトルピラミッド!シンジVSジンダイ!! Battle Pyramid! Paul VS Brandon!!) is the 24th episode of Pokémon: DP Galactic Battles.
Episode Plot
Paul challenges Candice to a Gym Battle. Candice refuses, as she has just had her battle with Ash and instructs Paul to come tomorrow. Ash shows Paul his seventh Badge and asks him how many he has, but Paul leaves, not wanting to tell him. Candice knows Dawn and Zoey are rivals, but their rivalry is nothing compared to the one between Ash and Paul. Zoey is being told about Ash and Paul's rivalry, while Dawn wonders where Ash is. Ash thanks Paul for having his Torterra show Grotle the new style of battling, while Paul asks Ash "If you won the Badge, why do you need Torterra to hold your hand?"
Zoey stops Paul and intimidates him, but Dawn pulls her to herself. Paul passes by, making Zoey wish that "Miss Senior" defeats him. The next day, Reggie drives his car and spots Paul in Snowpoint City. The heroes come out and meet Reggie again. Reggie tells them he is about to leave a Pokémon he has been watching over to its trainer. Reggie asks Ash if he is to challenge Candice, though Ash tells him he already won the Badge. Reggie asks his brother if he can watch the Battle. Paul responds that he can do whatever he wants. Zoey now notices that Reggie and Paul are different from each other. The ground begins to shake and Ash spots that the Battle Pyramid passes by. Ash tells that it took time, but he crossed over the Facility.
Team Rocket is also surprised to see the Battle Pyramid passing by. Ash contacts Brandon and they all go towards the point where it landed. Dawn asks about the Battle Frontier and Brock explains that they are a bunch of people like Gym leaders, but much more intense and Brandon is the most powerful of them. Brock asks Reggie if he challenged them, but Reggie tells he never got past the Battle Pyramid. Ash asks why he stopped and Reggie responds he has yet more to learn. They meet up with Brandon, who recognizes Paul as Reggie's younger brother. Paul, surprisingly, challenges Brandon to a battle.
Candice comes on her Dodrio to see the Pyramid and meets Brandon. A woman comes out and tells Brandon she expected him - her name is Temple Maiden Maria. Brock flirts with her and gets hit by his Croagunk's Poison Jab. Dawn asks Zoey if there is a temple and Zoey confirms, as there is some history associated with it. Brandon tells he came to study the temple and asks his referee, Samuel, to go with her, as he goes to battle with Paul. Paul wants to challenge him as he goes to finish what his brother couldn't. Ash wants to watch, though Paul does not care. Brock goes to act as a refree, but Paul tells him to back down, as he wants a 6-on-6 battle. Paul sends Magmar and Brandon his Regirock.
Reggie tells them that when he challenged Brandon, Paul got his Turtwig and they watched. Reggie was defeated and Brandon asked him where is his strength, which caused Paul to be the way he is now... rough. Paul calls Magmar back and sends Hariyama. Regirock starts with Stone Edge, but Hariyama blocks it with its hands. Hariyama uses Arm Thrust and Regirock holds it, then uses Shock Wave. Hariyama uses Force Palm, but misses and gets hit and defeated by Focus Punch.
Meowth thinks it would be good to climb the pyramid and Jessie that they should go to the temple. They turn to James and ask him what he thinks, but he does not ally with either side. Playing rock, paper, scissors, neither side wins and continue to play.
Paul sends Electabuzz, who uses Brick Break. Regirock uses Stone Edge, which negates Electabuzz' Protect and wounds it. With a Hyper Beam, Electabuzz is defeated. Brandon calls Regirock back and sends Registeel and Paul his Magmar. Magmar starts with Flamethrower, hitting Registeel, but Registeel does not seem to be hurt. Registeel uses Iron head, crushing through Mamgar's defenses. Magmar is scared by this attack, so Paul calls it back and sends Nidoking. Registeel uses Flash Cannon, hitting Nidoking. Nidoking uses Earth Power, pushing Registeel. Nidoking uses Thunderbolt, but Registeel uses Iron Head to negate the attack and defeat Nidoking.
Brandon wonders why does not Paul defeat him if he wants so much to "avenge" his brother's defeat. Paul responds he told that one must find its strength, but unlike Reggie, his power comes from will. Brandon asks him why does he battle, but Paul ignores him, becoming more angry and sends Lairon. Brandon calls Registeel back and sends Regice. Lairon uses Iron Defense, though gets frozen by Ice Beam. With a Zap Cannon, Lairon is defeated. Paul sends Ursaring, who uses Hammer Arm, though gets in collision with Focus Punch. Regice uses Zap Cannon, paralyzing Ursaring. Brandon calls Regice back and sends Regirock. With a Stone Edge, Ursaring is defeated.
Paul sends Magmar. Magmar uses Flamethrower, hitting Regirock, so Regirock uses Shock Wave, defeating Magmar. Since Paul has used all his Pokémon, Brandon wins. Brandon sees the Pokémon are very well trained, but notices the emotions clouded Paul's mind. Brandon promises to battle once he controls his emotions, so Paul bows his head. Team Rocket stops playing and see everyone going out of the Pyramid.
Paul tells Candice to prepare herself for the Gym Battle, so Candice tells him she is looking forward to it. She sends Dodrio and wishes Dawn luck in her next Contest. Zoey and Candice leave them. Paul goes away, but Reggie asks if he and Ash could have a battle. Brandon thinks it is a good idea, so Ash and Paul agree. Reggie tells them that, in ten days, near Lake Acuity they should be there. Suddenly, Samuel and Maria come out and report to Brandon that a really bad thing has happened in the temple.
- There is no Professor Oak's Pokémon lecture following this episode.
- This is also the first time when a Frontier Brain appears after the Battle Frontier arc.
- This is the first episode in which both Paul and Reggie appear in person together.
- This is the second time when Paul loses a Pokémon match without his opponent losing a single one of his/her Pokémon, the first being against Cynthia 88 episodes back.
- The Sinnoh map shown on TV is similar to the one in-game.
- If the collision of Regice's Focus Punch and Ursaring's Hammer Arm isn't counted as a hit, all of Paul's Pokémon were knocked out with two hits.
- Team Rocket does not blast off or recite their motto in this episode.
- Regirock's Stone Edge is able to hit Electabuzz through Protect, though nothing except Feint and Shadow Force can do this under normal conditions.
- During three scenes Zoey's eyes are colored orange.
- In the Dutch dub Brandon tells Regirock to use Rock Smash (Steen Knal) instead of Stone Edge (Steen Rand).
- The Cycling Road is absent on Kanto's map.

Countless people have lived since the beginning of the history of humanity. Allah created billions of eyes, billions of different fingerprints, billions of different skin tissues, billions of different human forms. Here are some striking features of fingerprints as revealed in the Qur'an …
1. A fingerprint is the pattern which is formed by the folds and creases at the end of the fingertips. There are respiration pores on every square centimeter found on the outer skin of the human body. Everyone of these pores reach down to the inner skin layer. Every pore is like secured to the inner layer of skin with two-lined ledges called Papila that look like nails. Therefore, if the outer skin is damaged, or even completely falls off, these papilas are still adequate for fingerprint detection. Even so, the prints on the freshly regrown skin are the same as the old. However, if the papilas found on the inner layer of skin are completely lost, then it would not be possible to detect fingerprints; and in this case fingers' inner whorls would be completely lost.
2. Every person's fingerprints are unique, including identical twins. In other words, people's identities are quite literally encoded on their fingerprints. This encoding system is somewhat comparable to the barcode system used today.
3. Fingerprints take their final form on the fetus shortly before birth and it stays fixed for a lifetime. For this reason, fingerprinting is accepted as a very important and universal "identification card" by everyone, and fingerprint science is used as an unfailing identification method by many authorities. This singularly unique characteristic of the fingerprint was discovered only towards to end of the 19th Century. Before then, people considered fingerprints as little more than lines with no meaning.
4. The shapes and details on fingerprints are wholly specific to the individual. The fingerprints of all the people who are living on Earth now, and have ever lived since the beginning of history, have different fingerprints. Moreover, even identical twins with the same DNA sequences have different fingerprints.
5. The discovery of the uniqueness of the fingerprint goes back at least three centuries. Even though there are some observations about fingerprints in ancient literature, there is no information about the use of fingerprints for the purposes of identification. At first, it was anatomists such as Nehemiah Grew (1684), Marcello Malpighi (1686) and J. E. Purkinie (1823) pointed out that the patterns on people's fingertips have some interesting qualities.
6. According to the fingerprint system used today and known as the Henry System, five general shapes are accepted for fingerprints: left circle, right circle, arch, tent-like arch and circular. These types are generally defined with the characters A, T, R, U, W.
7. A similar fingerprinting procedure was developed by Juan Vucetich (1858-1925), a Croation-born Argentinian anthropologist. Vucetich accepted four basic fingerprints; arch, inner knot (knot leaning left), outer knot (knot leaning right) and bundle. Even though some authors other than Henry Faulds and Vucetich had worked on fingerprints, these were accepted by only one or two countries. Henry Faulds and Vucetichs' system has today been accepted by many countries of the world.
8. A fingerprint identity detection system technology, known as AFS is today widely used as a legally approved method, the validity of which has proven in several police organizations over the last 25 years. Today, there is no other technology that gives more accurate results than the fingerprint. Fingerprint identification detection has been used in legal processes for over 100 years and it has international precedence and credence.
9. A. A. Moenssens noted that fingerprints are unique to every person in his book "Fingerprint Techniques" as follows: "Until now, none of the two fingerprints on different fingers were encountered to be the same."
10. In the Qur'an, the importance and characteristics of fingerprints, discovered only in our era, is pointed out. In one verse, it is revealed that it is very easy for Allah to revive people after death and people's fingertips are pointed out:
"On the contrary! We are able to make complete his very fingertips." (Surat al-Qiyama, 4)


text: No Doubt, I hear ya, but many folks seem to think that Kobe's and LeBrons grow on trees and all you have to do is open up the cap room and VOILA!!!! I mean seriously these are great signings!!!! Dollar for Dollar, we got some steals. Think about this last year, James Jones, Pietrus, and Posey ALL got the full MLE, we basically just signed a 24 year old 6'11" PF that really can ball (he needs to learn how to win though) essentially for the MLE!!! That's a steal!

Rays rally in ninth to gain series split with Tribe
Rays rally in ninth to gain series split with Tribe
Only it did happen.
The Rays scored three in the ninth to take a 7-6 win over the Indians at Progressive Field with 19,163 watching.
By winning, the Rays managed to earn a split of the four-game series, and they now head into the All-Star break with a 45-41 record and still in the hunt in the American League East.
"It feels like a big relief right now," Ben Zobrist said. "Going into the break, we were reeling a little bit -- and getting that kind of win to finish off the first half, it's just a much better feeling as a team getting ready for Friday."
The Indians took a 6-4 lead into the ninth, bringing in All-Star closer Chris Perez to try and finish off the win. But Rays hitters had other ideas -- even if they did strike out 39 times in the four-game set, and 14 times on Sunday.
Will Rhymes started the rally when he got every bit of his 5-foot-9, 155-pound frame into a Perez fastball and came away with his first home run of the season -- and second of his career -- which he deposited into the right-field stands.
"I don't hit very many, but I do tend to know when I get one," Rhymes said. "I ran today because I wasn't sure if I got it or not."
Elliot Johnson followed with a single to center to bring Carlos Pena to the plate. Knowing that Perez was slow to the plate and that he represented the tying run, Johnson broke for second on an attempted steal. Pena swung at the pitch and sent a drive to left-center field that Michael Brantley tried to haul in with a diving catch. Instead, the ball just eluded his glove, allowing Johnson to score and Pena to reach third with a triple.
"If he catches that ball, I'm doubled up because I'm already around second," Johnson said. "He made a good effort at it, but obviously it worked out in our favor."
Zobrist then singled home Pena to give the Rays a 7-6 lead.
"I felt like hitting was so contagious at that point," Zobrist said. "So when I went up there, I felt very confident we were going to get the run in, didn't really know what to look for necessarily. Fortunately, he threw me a couple of balls and I was just sitting on fastball."
Perez, who had converted 24 consecutive saves, suffered his second blown save of the season.
"I made some bad pitches today, and they hit them," Perez said.
Fernando Rodney pitched a scoreless ninth to preserve the win, while earning his 25th save of the season.
Rays manager Joe Maddon couldn't help but smile given the way the end played out.
"Carlos has probably hit two balls to that spot all season," Maddon said. "Rhymes has not hit a home run since 1837, and Carlos has not hit a ball to that spot since he was 10. And we won the game. That's how it works sometimes."
The Rays looked out of it from the beginning when the Indians built a 5-0 lead after five innings against James Shields, who started for the Rays on Sunday.
Shields was bitten again by the team's collective defensive problems when one of the Indians' runs scored against him was unearned.
Of course, Shields made one of the team's two errors when he threw wild to third base on a pickoff attempt of former Rays favorite Johnny Damon, who tripled to open the third.
Damon wasn't the only former Rays player to get into the action, as Casey Kotchman, Tampa Bay's first baseman a year ago, stepped into one to lead off the fourth for his eighth home run of the season. He then singled home another run in the fifth to put the Indians up, 5-0.
"Great that [Kotchman and Damon] had good games and we beat them," Maddon said. "Because they're great guys, they were a big part of what we did last year. They're wonderful teammates. ... I'm happy for their success, but I'm happier that they had that success in a loss."
Pena helped the Rays come to life in a four-run sixth by beating out a slow roller to second. Indians shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera dropped a throw on a force play at second to help keep the rally alive. Luke Scott and Desmond Jennings then contributed two-run doubles to cut the lead to 5-4.
Shin-Soo Choo added a solo home run in the eighth off Joel Peralta to give the Indians a 6-4 lead.
The Rays are now 17-6 on getaway days this season, and Sunday brought about as sweet a getaway day as the Rays could imagine.
"I think going into the break, it's nice to get the 'W.' But being down two to one of the best, and our offense hasn't been doing that great, to come up with that," Johnson said. "... To get it right there against one of the best, it was a big confidence boost for us. Now, we're going into the break and hopefully we pick it back up after that."

Aaron Ramsey insists Arsenal won't be affected by those who doubted them during the summer.
The loss of Robin van Persie and Alex Song prompted suggestions that Arsène Wenger's side would struggle this season but, buoyed by three new signings, the Gunners have made a strong start to the campaign.
Ramsey says the players are not concerned if they are written off - they will just carry on picking up points.
"That is a good thing [that people doubt us] - we are just going about our business," he told Arsenal Player. "We are going about it quietly and hopefully we can continue this good run and see where it takes us.
"In football a lot of changes happen regularly and there are always new faces coming in and going out. It is the same this season, we have had a few new players come in and they have been different class so far. You just learn how to deal with it as a footballer.
"We are confident at the moment and a few players have chipped in with goals this season. That has been an improvement on last year."
Ramsey is thrilled with Arsenal's summer acquisitions and insists there is plenty of cause for optimism at Emirates Stadium.
"We have had a couple of signings who are experienced, and who are mature as players and people and they have brought that into the team," he said. "Then there are players such as myself who have had a season of playing in the Premier League and know what it is all about. That helps massively as well.
"We have definitely learned from last season: we got off to a bad start and finished really strongly. But this time we have started off well so hopefully we can keep that going.
"It is important that everyone gets on, and that we know exactly on the pitch and we are confident. That is showing in the performances and results we are getting lately.
"We have tightened up at the back, and as a team defensively we are getting into better positions and I think that has shown so far. Everyone is confident and all looking forward to the next game."
