An adjustment disorder is defined as an emotional or behavioral reaction to a stressful event or change in a person's life. The reaction is considered an unhealthy response to the event or change within 3 months of the stressful event or change happening. This stressful event or change in the life of a child or adolescent may be a family move, the parents' divorce or separation, the loss of a pet, or the birth of a brother or sister. A sudden illness or restriction to a child's life because of chronic illness may also result in an adjustment response.
Adjustment disorders are a reaction to stress. There is not a single direct cause between the stressful event and the reaction. Children and adolescents vary in their temperament, past experiences, vulnerability, and coping skills. Where they are in their development and ability to deal with specific needs related to the stress may contribute to their reaction. Stressors also vary in how long they last, how strong they are, and what effect they have. No evidence is available to suggest a specific factor that causes adjustment disorders.
Adjustment disorders are quite common in children and adolescents. They happen equally in males and females. While adjustment disorders happen in all cultures, the stressors and signs may vary based on cultural influences. Adjustment disorders happen at all ages. However, it is believed that characteristics of the disorder are different in children and adolescents than they are in adults. Differences are found in the symptoms experienced, in how long they last, how strong they are, and what effect they have. Adolescent symptoms of adjustment disorders are more behavioral like acting out. Adults experience more depressive symptoms.
In all adjustment disorders, the reaction to the stressor seems to be more than a normal reaction. Or the reaction significantly interferes with social, occupational, or educational functioning. There are 6 subtypes of adjustment disorder that are based on the type of the major symptoms experienced. The following are the most common symptoms of each of the subtypes of adjustment disorder. However, each adolescent may experience symptoms differently:
Adjustment disorder with depressed mood. Symptoms may include:
Depressed mood
Feelings of hopelessness
Adjustment disorder with anxiety. Symptoms may include:
Fear of separation from major attachment figures
Adjustment disorder with anxiety and depressed mood. A combination of symptoms from both of the above subtypes (depressed mood and anxiety) is present.
Adjustment disorder with disturbance of conduct. Symptoms may include:
Violation of the rights of others
Violation of society's norms and rules (truancy, destruction of property, reckless driving, or fighting)
Adjustment disorder with mixed disturbance of emotions and conduct. A combination of symptoms from all of the above subtypes is present (depressed mood, anxiety, and conduct).
Adjustment disorder unspecified. Reactions to stressful events that do not fit in 1 of the above subtypes are present. Reactions may include behaviors like social withdrawal or inhibitions to normally expected activities, like school or work.
The symptoms of adjustment disorders may resemble other medical problems or psychiatric conditions. Always talk with your adolescent's health care provider for a diagnosis.
A child and adolescent psychiatrist or a qualified mental health professional usually makes the diagnosis of an adjustment disorder in children and adolescents following a comprehensive psychiatric evaluation and interview with the child or adolescent and the parents. A detailed personal history of development, life events, emotions, behaviors, and the identified stressful event is obtained during the interview.
Specific treatment for adjustment disorders will be decided by your adolescent's health care provider based on:
Your adolescent's age, overall health, and medical history
Extent of your adolescent's symptoms
Subtype of the adjustment disorder
Your adolescent's tolerance for specific medicines or therapies
Expectations for the course of the stressful event
Your opinion or preference
Treatment may include:
Individual psychotherapy using cognitive-behavioral approaches. Cognitive-behavioral approaches are used to improve age-appropriate problem solving skills, communication skills, impulse control, anger management skills, and stress management skills.
Family therapy. Family therapy is often focused on making needed changes within the family system, like improving communication skills and family interactions. Also, increasing family support among family members.
Peer group therapy. Peer group therapy is often focused on developing and using social skills and interpersonal skills.
Medicine. While medicines have very limited value in the treatment of adjustment disorders, medicine may be considered on a short-term basis if a specific symptom is severe and it is known that medicine can help.
Preventive measures to reduce adjustment disorders in adolescents are not known at this time. However, early discovery and getting professional help for your adolescent can reduce the severity of symptoms. Taking these steps can enhance the adolescent's normal growth and development, and improve the quality of life experienced by children or adolescents with adjustment disorders.

July 24, 2013 02:38 AM Tweet TAGS: Marketing, Overseas December 18, 2014 By University News Release Email It's the time of year where farmers need to pay extra attention to spray drift. By Erdal Ozkan, The Ohio State University Extension This is the time of the year we need to pay extra attention to reducing spray drift because some of us are applying herbicides that could create serious problems if the herbicide drifts away from the application site and deposits on crops sensitive to that particular herbicide, such as Dicamba products or Glyphosate. One way we can reduce spray drift is through using low-drift nozzles. When were low-drift nozzles introduced, and how much have they prevented drift incidences on non-target sensitive crops, personal property or people? When Was It Developed? Manufacturers have gradually changed designs of their nozzles in order to improve spray patterns and reduce the number of drift-prone droplets. In the USA, the most established sprayer nozzle manufacturer is Spraying Systems, also known as TeeJet. They started the development in their nozzles to achieve the two goals I mentioned above back in late '70s when they came up with a series called LP nozzles (LP stands for Low Pressure). However, at low pressures they noticed that the spray angle would decrease. Then the next breakthrough came in 1985 with their XR (stands for Extended Range) nozzles which allowed users to operate their sprayers at pressure as low as 15 psi without seeing any noticeable change in the spray pattern. When operated in low pressures, these nozzles would reduce the number of drift-prone droplets noticeably. The first nozzle in what we call today "low-drift nozzles" was "DriftGuard" developed in 1992. Not many people buy these nozzles these days because "better" (more effective) low-drift nozzles were introduced about 2-3 years later. Several companies introduced what is called as "Air Induction Low-drift nozzles". Today, the most popular types of low-drift nozzles sold are this type. Do They Really Prevent Drift? Low drift nozzles work. They reduce the number of drift-prone droplets significantly. However, no data exists on whether these nozzles have prevented drift complaints. There are indications that these nozzles must have been reducing incidents of drift because people have been switching from the conventional nozzles to "low-drift nozzles" over the years. At least one major nozzle company says the "low-drift" nozzles have been overselling their highly popular conventional nozzles. If these nozzles were not reducing the risk of drift damage, people would not have been paying more to buy the low-drift nozzles. Another indication that these nozzles are reducing the risk of spray drift is the recent decision BASF, a major agricultural chemical company, has made. For their product called "Status," basically a Dicamba product, BASF is supplying low-drift air induction nozzles to buyers of Status, free of charge. BASF must have credible data in their hands that there will be fewer complaints related to drift damages as long as people are using Air Induction nozzles. Otherwise, they would not be providing free nozzles (costing up to $300 per buyer, depending on the size of the sprayer boom and the number of nozzles on the boom )to each buyer of Status herbicide.

Graduation day was a bittersweet ending for Rachael Dubinsky and Amanda Prudente. The day marked a great milestone in their academic careers, but also meant that their time as student managers at the UDairy Creamery was coming to a close.
Both Dubinsky and Prudente played a pivotal role in the plans for and development of the creamery. Now, as graduates of the University of Delaware College of Agriculture and Natural Resources (CANR), they have positions that fall directly in line with what they learned as student managers.
Dubinsky, who served as the creamery's communications manager, graduated with a dual degree in agriculture and natural resources and interpersonal communication, with minors in food science and food and agribusiness marketing and management. In her time at UD, she was a member of the UD Color Guard, the Food Science Club, Sigma Alpha (the professional agriculture sorority), and gave tours to prospective students and families as an Ag Ambassador.
In her role as the communications manager, Dubinsky was responsible for promoting the creamery to the University and Newark community, as well as developing marketing plans for the future of the business.
Using her skills and knowledge in both agriculture and communications to educate others about the "cow to cone" process, Dubinsky stated, "Not only was it exciting to see this project come to fruition but by being on the management team, I really do feel as though I have left my mark here at UD".
Dubinsky is staying on at CANR as the special assistant to the deputy dean. In this position, she will continue to work on public relations and advertising ventures for the creamery.
Prudente served as the dairy and food science manager for the creamery and is now pursuing a career as a flavor technician at David Michael and Co. in Philadelphia. She graduated with a bachelor's degree in food science, with minors in chemistry and food and agribusiness marketing and management. In addition, she served as the vice president of the Food Science Club, was a member of the Delaware Repertory Dance Company and was an Ag Ambassador.
As the dairy and food science manager, Prudente was responsible for securing health permits for events and ordering supplies for the store. Prudente was integral in making the creamery's first batch of ice cream with the new equipment and also used her food science knowledge to create herb-themed ice cream toppings for the annual "Spring Fling" event in March, which celebrates the Garden for the Community, a partnership between the CANR and the Food Bank of Delaware. Prudente's unique background in both food science and business management has prepared her for a successful career in the flavor industry.
She said, "I really think this position helped merge both my science and business interests. Ultimately, I was able to apply the things I learned in the classroom to a real world business setting."
The creamery had many milestones this past year, including the construction of the storefront and the ribbon cutting ceremony on Ag Day. Dubinsky and Prudente were able to use their internship experience to hone in on their individual strengths and ultimately play an integral role in the development and success of the creamery.
To learn more about the creamery student managers, visit the UDairy Creamery website.
This summer, the creamery is open Monday through Friday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Saturday and Sunday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. And, don't forget to "like" UDairy Creamery on Facebook for information on upcoming events and special promotions.

Turns out that I'm still pretty pissed off about what happened to Biggio and Bagwell yesterday. The street-corner preachers in the BBWAA that talk about preserving the integrity of the game, while they made a conscious decision to ignore it while it was happening (revisionist history if I've ever seen it), still raises my blood pressure.
Still, there's no better an example of revisionist history than our old pal Jon Heyman.
Take for example, his piece explaining his ballot from just a few days ago:
The more I thought about it, the more I didn't want to celebrate their careers. Not yet, anyway.
More to the point, I didn't want to reward the cheats...The steroid guys already hit more home runs, recorded more
strikeouts, made more money and won more awards thanks to one
thing: having less integrity than some or many of their clean
Then, in splendid boiler-plate SportsWriter Style Guide, the one-sentence paragraph:
I am not about to add to their already crowded mantles.
Because less than two years ago (April 2011), a time frame in which Barry Bonds had no plate appearances, Heyman had this to say about the home run leader:
(And this is the lede, just so you get the context in which the piece was written):
Barry Bonds doesn't belong in jail. He belongs in the Hall of Fame...

A lot can change for Jon Heyman in 21 months
3 comments:
Jon Hyman, er Heyman, is a self ritcheous arrogant jerk who infortunately yields some power in regards to a Hall of Fame decision and now feels like the King of the World. All of these writers think they're the smartest people in the world and love to backseat scattershoot. Their over inflated self worth will not allow him to pick a side because they truly do not have one- it's a part of their act.

His real agenda is getting Jack Morris in the hall. Can't vote for him if he's got to vote for steroid era guys who were far superior to Jack Morris.

Bob Jones needed a new logo design and created a contest on 99designs.
A winner was selected from 155 designs submitted by 50 freelance designers.
Enecsys makes modules that connect individual solar panels to the power grid.
Solar panel manufacturers
Solar system installers
Solar system users
The requirement is to develop a logo for the Enecsys company brand. There may a short strapline - logos can be shown with or without the strapline. Although it is unlikely to be final, please use: Energy for life.
Enecsys products take the DC voltage from solar panels - usually called modules - and convert it to AC mains voltage for connection to the grid. The products are known as micro-inverters and there would normally be one per module.
General tone of communications is 'cleantech'. This means that we have an environmental message and an advanced technology one.
The existing blue logo is very much a purely technical image, bringing in nothing about solar power or the environment.
We are looking for something bold and striking but this is a business-to-business pitch, so nothing too 'flowery' !

Is The Internet's Biggest Twerking Phenom Anti-Gay?
Boy Culture did some investigating into the interwebs' twerking superstar, North Carolina State baseball player John Mangum and what he found may take some of the shine off of Mangum's famed bump and grind.
Through a thorough scan of Mangum's Twitter feed, Boy Culture found that--surprise--Mangum throws around "gay" and "faggot" with abandon.
Examples include this charming Twittter interaction:
@JohnnyPiedmonte summer ball isn't the same knowing how gay you are in real life..
— John Mangum (@jmag9_wolfpack) July 1, 2013
@JohnnyPiedmonte now that I think about it..creeps me out just being around you fags
— John Mangum (@jmag9_wolfpack) July 1, 2013
@jmag9_wolfpack *us fags
— Johnny Piedmonte (@JohnnyPiedmonte) July 1, 2013
Boy Culture also notes of Mangum (an apparent Christian who cites Bible verses in his Twitter bio):
He loves to use the word "gay" as an insult (here, here, here, here, here, here, here, here,here, here) and also seems to disagree with Tyler the Creator that the word "faggot" has no meaning (here, here, here).
With all this evidence that John Mangum isn't necessarily down with the gays--do you care? Does the junk in his trunk hold less appeal?
Why or why not, Instincters?
I find most of the comments here to be incredibly creepy and disrespectful in their own way. It seems you all set out to meet his perceived homophobia with your own disgusting comments.
Comments like many above just tell others that gay men are oversexed, sexually aggressive, and borderline predatory toward men regardless of that man's sexual orientation or whether or not the advances are welcomed.
The creepy sexually aggressive comments toward and about him are just as tacky and offensive as the pejoratives appearing on the guy's Twitter feed. Just because you are offended by someone's vocabulary doesn't give you the right to be creeps and behave exactly as a homophobic person thinks you do. You prove homophobics' fears and anxieties to be well founded when you talk like a good looking guy who identifies as heterosexual deserves to be taken roughly with or without his consent simply because a video that probably wasn't ever intended by him to be seen ended up online.
Your disgusting aggressive and self righteous indignation is ridiculous.
Get over it and grow up. Maybe this guy learned a lesson. You don't know him and his words weren't directed at any of you personally and probably grew as a person.
You all can't say the same thing of yourselves. Your comments are intentionally crude, disgusting, and pedestrian. You are no better than what you all say is offensive to you.
So simple...he's a Christian, correct? Christian's are the biggest hypocrites in the WORLD! They single handedly HATE more than any other religious group...they only accept THOSE WHO THINK EXACTLY how they do...oh, they will say in one sentence that they do not hate gays, and in the next sentence they will find SOMETHING in their bible to say that gays will all burn in hell...BESIDES, WHO CARES ABOUT JON MANGUM, who is he?
I don't know what mirror he uses, but it's obviously not the same one that the rest of us see him through...not good looking, weird looking actually....his twerking butt is nothing to write home about and frankly, if I saw him out, i would not give him a second look....SO, who cares about him....NOT ME!!
you know, to tell you the truth it doesn't matter if he's gay or not. I would still pound that cake. Also, if you don't want ppl to look, then don't show. And how does a supposed straight guy learn to twerk like that? My straight friends can't do that,and most of them can dance. And he's an actual catcher, lol, of all things, a catcher.

I really love too continue too watch gay americans constantly rationalize and excuse homophobia and homophobic words and actions away. Hes not homophobic he didnt mean it that way blah blah blah words have consequences in this world period and people like him only further the intolerance our community already faces hes just as guilty as any other macho heterosexual straight man who uses this kind of shit as " HUMOR" or a desperate attempt too get past their own insecurities revolving their heterosexuality because they feel OFFENDED if someone thinks they are gay. The fact that guys like this take that as an insult or something that grosses them out says it all about this man plain and simple. I kiss no ones ass no matter who they are or what they look like ignorance is wrong and so is discrimination whether a full grown adult jock trying too be the COOL guy making anti gay jokes too either impress or join in with the rest of the archaic cavemen or some immature cocky teenager with anger issues and a lack of education regarding homosexuality it makes no difference too me.
First of all the terms gay and fag in the way John and his generation use them, do not refer to sexual orientation like they used to. Here this might help explain the concept that is so obviously lost on some http://www.southparkstudios.com/full-episodes/s13e12-the-f-word
Secondly John isn't gay basking he is using the terms immaturely as an 18 year old does.
Speaking of immature - everybody's responses above? Is it supposed to be acceptable to respond with crude suggestive statements like above? I have plenty homosexual friends and they have much more class than that - gay or straight, male or female - nobody should be talked about that way, I trust this is not a good representation of the LGBT community
Spoiler alert - John Mangum is not homosexual, not that it is anybody's business. He has never harbored any animosity towards the LGBT community but honestly with some of the things I have been seeing this last week I wouldn't blame him if he did.
Nigel Campbell - way to do some "in depth reporting", using out of context tweets from a 17 year old kid to define his views and opinions, stellar work. Maybe next week you can do an extensive analysis of the third grader in Oklahoma who called somebody a butt pirate. Move over Wolf Blitzer
Also what do you mean when you say "an apparent Christian"? Are you implying that John is not a Christian? Is this because he did a dance in a locker room and used the term fag in a couple of tweets? Yep you nailed it instant devil worshiper, great journalistic instinct. What a pompous and assuming tone you have in your posts. Though subtle, it is very obvious after looking at your work that you have a negative attitude towards Christian men. Way to find ugliness where it doesn't exist and blast it on display so as to perpetuate animosity. People like you are the problem, not people like John Mangum.
Using the terms "gay" and "fag" to refer to something or someone in a negative way is still homophobic; South Park is not the voice of the LGBTQ community. End of story.
Also, your argument would be null and void either way since Mangum enthusiastically ate at Chick-fil-a on August 1st, 2012 to celebrate their CEO's public disdain of marriage equality, as evidenced by this twitter conversation: https://twitter.com/jmag9_wolfpack/status/230701871218708482
So much for "never having harbored any animosity towards the LGBT community", as you so lovingly describe Mr. Mangum in your fourth paragraph.
Also, you appear to be under the impression that Mangum is a 17-year-old. Perhaps you should check your facts; he is currently a sophomore in college.
I agree with a lot of your comments... But the fact is John uses the word Gay to denote something/someone in a negative way. Just like a lot of his generation. That doesn't make it less offensive to the majority of the Gay community. And the word Faggot is definitely meant as an insult.
Would you be defending an 18 year old who referred the blacks as niggers or Jews by derogatory terms?
I agree with you it is wrong, and I also think there is a distinction between fag and faggot. I think if John was talking to a person who was Gay it would have been very offensive, but he was talking to his sister and friends of his who are not gay. Doesn't make it right but I am pointing out that he was 17 years old when he made some of those comments, I was definitely the same way when I was his age it is ignorance, we grew up in a pretty "old school" environment. So the racial slurs being directed at people of those races would be analogous to calling a Gay person a fag - I don't think that was the case here

I'm glad you understand my point of view Josh. I'm sure john isn't homophobic. Just using the terminology of his peers. I have nephews and nieces who use the term Gay in a negative way. Not in my presence however.
I'm sure John didn't realise the fuss he would cause when he allowed someone to film him dancing around the locker room half naked. And the letting said person post it on the net. I'll wager he'll think twice before he does the same thing. Even here in England people are talking about him. What to John was a harmless bit of fun has turned into a monster. I don't think he deserves to be vilified for some thoughtless remarks posted to friends. But this should be a lesson for him to think about what he says and does on social networking sites as these things can have a habit of coming back to haunt you.
a person's age and their immaturity is no excuse in excusing logic that excuses hate. i feel a person has the right to say what ever you want in the comforts of your home or other private settings. any use of the word queer, fag or faggot and the likes there of plus using the word gay to mean anything other than happy should not be tolerated in a public platform. period. the end. the other thing i find funny about your reply is that you think that devil worshiping is the only alternative to being christian. and why should the outraged behavior in response to Mangum's homophobia excuse what ever animosity he might have for the LGTB community but when its turned around why is our animosity not excusable by the outragous behavior of christians towards the LGTB community. hypocrite. jerk.
You missed the entire point. My point was that the comments were not meant in a hateful way towards gays, it is a term that is used too losely by that age group and I agree with you it shouldn't be used. Also my brother was not in the "public eye" before this past week, I am sure he will be much more concious of that fact going forward. Bashing and insulting somebody who showed no animosity towards you - that is hate.
As far as your "outraged behavior" comment - that is plain ignorant. If you want to justify the comments like that, then your argument is conflicting it can only be one way. Using your own argument - "using the word gay to mean anything other than happy should not be tolerated in a public platform. period" which is an absolute statement correct? but then there are times when people can be disrespectful, crude, and degrading whenever they feel justified? if this is what makes you outraged you are in a good spot, there are a lot of bad things going on in the world.
Tertiary - in response to the devil worshiping comment. Apparently the use of satirical hyperbole was lost on you I appologize. I was trying to prove a point using exaduration to illustrate the off based assesment. The point was that his religious beliefs had nothing to do with anything, and are non of the writer or anybody's business. It is a fallacy of composition to assert that somebody who uses the word fag is not a christian, we are all sinners but Chrisitians believe we can be forgiven. Don't be bash my brother for being Chrisitan is all I am saying, otherwise you discredit you points
the point has been made that the language used by your brother can not be and in no way will be excusable and that he will only be able to learn from his mistake. facebook, twitter, google+ and every other networking site is the public domain. whether your friends or followers are 10, 10,000 or 10,000,000. every single comment, post and picture can be found by anybody with internet access.
okay that being said... so now here's this situation. your brother(who was completely unknown to the worlld at large) has a video has go viral. now the world knows who John Mangum is. or at least we know what we can find on the internet and twitter has shown us that John Magnum is a person who's comments are not being received well by the LGBT community and some people are vocalizing it. you can't get upset with that. or at least you shouldn't be surprised.
the article was not bashing your brother for being a christian. it was pointing out the fact that your brother has not been acting like a christian or rather not behaving like what christianity imposes upon its believers to behave like. big difference. to sin is not christian, to sin is human. not sinning in the the name of Christ is christian. and because of Christ there is a loop hole for when those do sin. mercy can be given to the repentant. i'd like to go a step further and say if you dont act like a christian then you are not a christian.
Defending someone for using "word/s" that is seen as derogatory, especially from the LGBT community, I get it, fine. Totally understandable. Perhaps stating that (well, since he's your brother after all), using such term/s is/are inexcusable, hopefully he will learn, or has learned from it, is much better than telling forums that (at least this is how I understood it), John used it, deal with it, John was not wrong--type of message is open for debate. Therefore, you get your mass of responses. I see John has used the words and yes it is something that should be highly noted chiefly in social media, but it's been done. I'm just hoping lesson is learned here (and I mean by John) and it should of ended there. That's it.
P.S. I agree with some of the posts, just enjoy his twerking. If is a homophobe, well, we can't take that, but hopefully he isn't.
Josh, please try to realize that most people that comment on posts like these are just trolling and trying to get a response, it's not worth getting worked up about. I think some people have voiced valid concerns/responses, but other responses are outright ridiculous. I think that unfortunately people often rattle off offensive racist/sexist/homophobic comments without thinking of any repercussions at all. I don't buy into the whole "this generation says the word gay without it having anything to do with homosexuality" thing, as that's what my generation said as well (I'm 31) and the reality is that even if you are not talking to/about a gay person, you are reinforcing that gay is negative, and "less than" and in most cases saying that someone is not masculine, they are "bitch" etc... So, whether or not you intend it to be about homosexuality, it is, and it's ignorant to think it's not. That being said, do I think your brother is homophobic? Who knows? I certainly don't think his tweets are enough to warrant him a homophobe, or a bigot, but the reality is that none of us really know him at all. If you were to scroll through anyone that commented on this posts facebook/twitter/emails from the last 5-10 years I'm fairly certain most of us have said things that would get us in trouble with some group, so chill. This kid isn't a celebrity, he is/was just a jock with a hot ass that can twerk. Do I think he was wrong? Yes. Do I think that someone should (probably already has) talked to him about his use of language? Yes. Do I think everyone should relax and get back to enjoying watching him shake his ass? Absolutely. lol
that is a fair assessment, the reason I am getting over excited is that it is starting to effect him in a negative way with his school and he does not deserve it. I do believe there are times he used the phrase in a bad way, but none of the examples were directly hateful and homophobic - they were insensitive, but not hateful. Either way this was a learning experience for him and he is much more concious of how these kind of comments can be viewed by others. He definitely does not want to be a celebrity, I think that is obvious since he is the only person NOT talking about it!
Thanks for making a level headed objective reply Joey I agree with the majority of what you said
I think you are missing the point. It doesn't matter if the words were meant as homophobic. Using the words in a negative context towards someone, as if they are stupid, is equating those words with negative things. That is what is hurtful. If I started to call people "John Magnum" whenever they did something stupid or uncool, I wasn't meaning to hurt John directly, I was just using the term to call whomever stupid. As a joke. Can you now see how by using the term in a negative way, even if it is not directly intended to hurt someone that is gay, still hurts someone?
Justifying the use of the words as general, or what people in his generation just do is a horrible reason. Each person is an individual, and change starts with each person. The more you continue to use those words in a negative context, the more people will think it is okay, and enables others to continue using those words.
He is still hot to me. Having biblical quotes and using "gay" and "faggot" in a negative Spence does not mean that he hates gays. He could be in the closet and just doing to to fit in. Yes I know that some perceptional sports players have come out but it don't mean that the sports world isn't homophobic. Also one part of homophobia is not underacting it or being gay and not accepting it. The only thing that would change my mind is if i knew him in person. Most importantly what fully straight guy would twerk like that.

COLUMBUS- The Columbus Crew and Philadelphia Union battled to a six-goal stalemate in MLS Reserve League action on Sunday morning.

The Black & Gold drew level in the 23rd minute as Emilio Rentería played a brilliant give-and-go to Aaron Schoenfeld, with the Venezuelan beating Union 'keeper Chase Harrison to the far post for the equalizer.
After the break, the Crew took a 2-1 advantage after 53 minutes when Homegrown forward Ben Speas beat his defender and sent in a left-footed cross into Olman Vargas on the far post for the easy tap-in.Philadelphia answered 10 minutes later as Zach Pfeffer dribbled through the Black & Gold defense and beat guest goalkeeper Nick Noble just minute after Noble replaced Lampson in net.
The Crew went ahead once again in the 69th minute when a loose ball in front of net landed at the feet of Justin Meram. The second-year forward utilized some shifty footwork to beat Harrison for the tally, and give the Crew a 3-2 advantage.
Not to be denied the road point, Mkosana fired a shot on goal two minutes later. The trialist's shot was parried by Noble, landing at the feet of forward Chandler Hoffman who netted the equalizer in the affair.

Gary James'10 Wins Journal Review Scholarshipby Sam King • December 14, 2007 Share:
While many of today's young adults rely on the Internet and TV to get the news, Wabash College sophomore Gary James is an exception.
"Call me a romantic or call me old school, but I love print journalism," James said smiling.
James recently won the Journal Review scholarship through the college, intended for students at Wabash with a keen interest in the newspaper field. The endowed scholarship was established in 1987 by Freedom Newspapers, Inc. which owned the paper at that time. It has been awarded to some 23 students.
James aspires to be a journalist despite going to a liberal arts school that doesn't have a journalism program. Still, he feels like he is getting a journalism education. James said Howard Hewitt, advisor of Wabash's student newspaper The Bachelor, has taken him under his wing.
James joined The Bachelor staff in the fall of his freshman year after reading an e-mail notifying new students of a call-out meeting. It wasn't long after that James was investigating controversy over the planning of a Hootie & the Blowfish concert. He took his writing and reporting a step further, writing online pieces for Wabash's Web site through the college's public affairs office.
The first time James realized what influence print journalism could have was in high school when he was trying to attend the Junior Statesman Summer School at Yale University. Needing to raise $4,000 in 30 days, James sent out press releases to a newspaper in the Meridian, Miss. area.
"The response was great," said James, who ended up attending the summer school.
Since then, James' passion for journalism has increased. He's taken on tougher assignments, such as interviewing Holocaust survivor Eva Kor. He's managed to balance working at the student newspaper — where his short-term goal is to become news editor — while also writing a story per week on average for the public affairs office and taking on a full class load.
"I have found a way to do something I love while delivering what I consider to be an essential service to my community," James said.
James may attend a journalism graduate school after Wabash. Right now he is just looking for an internship, saying the Journal Gazette in Fort Wayne, the Baltimore Sun and Philadelphia Daily News are among those piquing his interest.
This story first appeared in the Dec. 3 Journal Review. King is a reporter for JR.

Decorating: Heritage Fabric Collection
Text by Jenny Bradley
When developing their latest collection of fabrics, Lee Jofa opted to go to the archives rather than the drawing board. With a prolific collection of classic fabrics (and an equally prolific stable of talented licensees) at their fingertips, it just seemed an obvious choice. So they asked six designers to reinterpret their personal favorites for today. Not only did these six designers reimagine classic fabrics for today, they brought them to life in room-like settings.
Los Angeles-based designer Suzanne Rheinstein's "Clarendon" linen--available in Suzanne's signature palette--is a reinterpretation of a 1983 English documentary floral. Available in "mocha" and "linen."
Rheinstein's vignette was full-on feminine--pairing the warmly hued "Clarendon" with slipper chairs and lilac upholstered loveseats.
Designer Suzanne Rheinstein
Atlanta-based Suzanne Kasler completely reinvented a popular linen print to create "New Shiraz"--available in two colorways ("pink" and "white linen") on linen.
Kasler's light-filled vignette was swathed in "New Shiraz"--draped copiously at the window and fashioned into slipcovers and throw pillows.
Designer Suzanne Kasler
Design Thomas O'Brien chose to recolor "Nympheus Handblock"--a favorite pattern he uses frequently. Originally created in 1915 for G.P. & J. Baker, the handblock was inspired by silk panels of a 15th century Ming Dynasty screen. It's available in two colors--"teal" and "aubergine"--as well as the original.
O'Brien saturated his set with the varicolored "Nympheus Handblock"--used handsomely on the reverse.
Designer Thomas O'Brien
Drawn to the design by its "painterly quality," New York-based designer Eric Cohler chose to reinterpret a fabric called "Treyes Handblock." Feeling that it would be "beautifully presented" on glazed cotton, Cohler brought it back to life as a true English country house chintz. It's available in "pink/green" and "sage."
Cohler's room shows the more masculine side of "Treyes Handblock"--pairing it with a wool windowpane plaid.
Designer Eric Cohler
William Diamond and Anthony Baratta chose to recolor a favorite floral chintz called "Rosebank." Mixing things up, they printed a brown and pink colorway on chintz and a soft blue colorway on linen.
Diamond and Baratta's vignette accentuated the whimsical and romantic side of "Rosebank."
Anthony Baratta and William Diamond
Designer David Easton chose to re-create the Jacobean design "Gaddesden"--feeling that a softer palette would be more suitable for today. "Gaddesden" is available in "linen" and "red/green" colorways.
Easton's "Gaddesden" linen set a moody, sophisticated tone when paired with antiques and a sisal rug.

ballerina- three tiered skirt
Added Feb 11, 2011
Bedford, United ...
this is my variation of the Sean Skirt #6063, I started this project quite a wile ago but never got round to finishing it.
I was constantly altering the skirt as I went along, and then changing it back towards the original pattern. its far from perfect, the wast band starts slightly higher on one side, and the middle tier has been sewn slightly wonky. but over all im happy with the result.
In stead of having an invisible zipper in the side seem, I put a chunky zipper in the center back, so that it was on show. I also made the zipper go to the top of the waist band, instead of putting in a button.
I have also elasticated the waist band so that the skirt can ever be worn on the waist or at the hips.
when it came to the overall finish of the skirt, I had deconstructionism in mind, but i still wanted to have the skirt look well finished. As a result i used french seems on all of the skirt panels and went over them in top stitching to give a well finished look. Following this I took my embellisher to the skirt pieces to distress the fabric.

AV, Display and Presentation | News
Sony has been making portable, all-in-one video productions switchers for more than a decade. During that time, the potential market for this technology has expanded, the company believes, thanks both to the evolving definition of "broadcast" to include real-time Web streaming and the ubiquity of a different kind of user interface. Sony is betting on that belief with its new Anycast Touch (AWS-750), an updated version of its portable switcher that is operated exclusively by touch screen.
"We wanted to get rid of anyone's apprehension in the non-traditional switcher market about using a powerful tool by introducing something they use every day," says Alex Rossi, Sony's senior product marketing specialist. "Everyone nowadays has a smartphone operated by touch screen, and /or a tablet PC. It automatically makes them comfortable sitting behind the Anycast Touch."
Introduced last year, Anycast Touch is the successor to Sony's Anycast Station, a portable all-in-one video production switcher that debuted in 2004. Anycast Touch reprises Anycast Station's laptop-like form factor (16 3/8 x 3 7/8 x 13 ¼ inches, just over 14 pounds), but without the analog switches and sliders. Instead, the new, sleeker system provides a dual touchscreen interface: a large touch-enabled display screen, and a secondary screen in the keyboard position that can present users with either a touch- style version of a switcher's fader controls or a touch keyboard for text generation. (Three USB ports also allow a user to plug in an external keyboard and mouse.)
Sony developed the intuitive touchscreen controls for this system as a way of making a powerful production switcher less intimidating to end users who aren't the traditional "broadcast guys," Rossi says.
"Take, for example, your typical house-of-worship volunteer," he says. "This is someone who's giving his time on the weekend, but probably doesn't know anything about operating a switcher. Or take a student in a high school's AV club—who could probably teach us a thing or two about touch screens. These folks are very comfortable with the Anycast Touch."
Sony describes the system as a "live production content producer," which is a mouthful but a better fit than "switcher," given its tools and features bundle. Anycast Touch combines a video switcher, a video recorder, an audio mixer, a text and title generator, a set of remote camera controls (pan-tilt-zoom), a clip playback feature, a template tool, and real-time Web streaming capability.
The switcher component supports up to six video inputs including HD/SD-SDI, HDMI, RGB, and/or composite inputs. The recorder can capture up to 10 hours of PGM video output to a built-in solid state drive (SSD) in high resolution. "PGM" (Pragmatic General Multicast) is a network transport protocol that can deliver a sequence of packets to multiple recipients at the same time. The audio mixer supports up to five audio inputs that can be mixed using the "sliders" on the secondary touch panel. The text and title generator (accessed through the touch keyboard) supports up to 10 languages. The clip playback feature can pull in recorded and imported content as video sources during live productions. And the system uses Flash H.264 to stream Web content to an external streaming server of program or auxiliary output.
One feature that seems designed for non-professional users is the "scene" creation tool, which allows operators to compose up to 99 templates in advance of a broadcast that incorporates titles, logos, transition effects, different sources, and even camera positions, and then store them collectively as a "scene." Once created, a template can be launched with a single command.
Also, unlike its predecessors, the Linux-based Anycast Touch system is software upgradable, which means that future system improvements can be delivered via download, Rossi says. When new versions of firmware are available, Sony will notify users, he says.
Anycast Touch was unveiled in April, but has only been available since September. Ease of use is the key selling point for this system, and the company is marketing it to non-professionals in environments where its live applications are likely to be in demand: education, houses of worship, and corporate seminars, for example. And the company is pitching the potential the system to generate new revenue streams in environments, such as K-12 schools, where it might not have been considered before.
"The streaming feature of the Anycast Touch can be used in a variety of ways to generate revenue for a school," the company said in an email. "For example, a school may set up a subscription service for streaming/viewing sports, drama, and other events where they can charge a fee to parents and other relatives to watch the events live."
The company hopes that potential new users of the system will take a cue from higher education, where fee-based live streaming of sporting events is now commonplace. Davidson College in North Carolina, for example, has been offering online live-streams of everything from football to women's swimming and diving since 2008. The school currently provides access to webcasts of its live sporting events via subscription (per game, monthly, or yearly) and maintains a large archive of videos on its website.
Davidson, a longtime user of Sony's Anycast Station, recently purchased Anycast Touch, and, according to the school's sports information officer, Gavin McFarlin, plans to implement the system this fall to webcast live football games, with plans to use the system to live stream soccer and baseball.
"We're not looking to make a ton of money off the system," McFarlin says, "but it helps to defray the costs of the freelancers we use [to record sporting events]. And its gives parents of students from out of state a chance to easily go online and see their son or daughter play."
The Anycast Touch Live Content Producer is available now for a list price of $19,995. More information is available online. At press time, the company was also offering "early adopter pricing" at $15,995.

Catching up with JLO & Leah
Leah Remini went to see Jennifer Lopez on the set of her new movie The Boy Next Door. I feel like there were some serious faces happening on this visit. Photo Assumption says I know this face. That's the face of a girlfriend who's come to give some advice. That's the face of a girl who gets the call – I need to talk, I need to figure something out, can you parachute and bring a bottle of wine with you?
If Photo Assumption is right, what was on the agenda?
Wouldn't it be great if Slum Lover was on the agenda? Specifically an exit strategy? He wasn't around so…

The Canadian manufacturer's stock plummeted more than 8% on Friday with the rollout of the much-touted BlackBerry Z10.
Investors on Monday will be watching BlackBerry after the Canadian manufacturer's stock plummeted more than 8% on Friday with the rollout of the much-touted BlackBerry Z10 smartphone.
The lackluster debut is a blow to BlackBerry's hope that the new device could help reverse its fortunes in the competitive mobile market.
The Z10 represents a significant shift for BlackBerry, ditching the signature physical keypad for a full touch-screen. The device includes a smart keyboard that suggests words as you type and BlackBerry Balance for creating separate home and work profiles.
The smartphone will be available through AT&T's wireless network, and on Verizon and T-Mobile next week.
The Z10 arrives as BlackBerry fights an uphill battle to recapture a slice of the smartphone market, dominated by Apple's iOS and Google Android. As of January, BlackBerry was the third-most popular smartphone platform, with 8% market share, far behind Google (54%) and Apple (34%), according to researcher ComScore.
Morgan Stanley analyst Ehud Gelblum says the company's new mobile device could emerge as a "niche mid-range player" in the smartphone market.
In a phone interview with USA TODAY on the eve of the Z10 launch in New York on Friday, BlackBerry CEO Thorsten Heins called the rollout a "major milestone" for the company.
"We did not build a new product; we built a new platform," he said.
To be sure, BlackBerry has its work cut out. At the same time, BlackBerry 10 has about 100,000 apps, compared with about 700,000 each for Android and iOS.
"They are clearly living in an echo chamber," said Larry Levy, CEO of Appinions, which analyzes marketing data for Fortune 500 companies. "They are out of the influence circle, behind Apple, Google and Microsoft."

Behind IF headquarters, underneath our fire escape (which is ironically made out of wood) out by the railroad tracks, there is a special place. This place is known as Hobo Heaven. It is not uncommon to find a real live hobo stashing his shopping cart there and shimmying under the fence to the secret hobo camp that they have about a mile down the tracks. We also have a picnic table there where we will sometimes hang out or have informal meetings on a nice day.
Well... today Hobo Heaven caught on fire. But fear not! It was saved by Somerville's finest. They brought 2 firetrucks a couple of police cars and a bicycle cop to make sure everything was under control.
You just cant take the spirit away from this amazing place. Hobo Heaven, you will never die! We will rebuild!
The aftermath is not pretty:
(not that it was that pretty to begin with...)
**Update 5/15/09: the hobos have begun to rebuild!!***

Reginald Fessenden, an inventor sometimes dubbed "The Father of Radio Broadcasting", was born on October 6, 1866 in East Bolton, Quebec, Canada the son of a Protestant minister.
As a child, the family moved to Ontario, where at an early age, Reginald Fessenden showed an interest in mathematics far beyond his years and conducted experiments that often both astounded and horrified his parents who made certain he received a quality education. A brilliant student at Trinity College School, in Port Hope, Ontario, at age fourteen he was granted a mathematics mastership to Bishop's College (now Bishop's University) in Lennoxville, Quebec. At age eighteen, he became headmaster at a school in Bermuda but he had become fascinated with the idea of wireless telegraphy as a child when he saw Alexander Graham Bell demonstrate his telephone over a several mile distance near Bell's home in Ontario.
Trained as an electrician, his research subsequently took him to the United States to work with Thomas Edison as a chemist developing insulation for electrical wires. In 1892, he worked with George Westinghouse to light the Columbian Exposition in Chicago. Fessenden then became professor of electrical engineering at Purdue University, and a year later he was named head of electrical engineering at Western University of Pennsylvania.
Reginald Fessenden had considerable difficulty in attracting capital for research and development of his radical ideas. He lacked the showmanship of Marconi and Edison, and his frustration often showed in his personality that made it near impossible to market himself or his inventions. In 1900 he joined the United States Weather Bureau on the understanding that the bureau could have access to any devices he invented but that he would retain ownership. On December 23, 1900, he transmitted his own voice over the first wireless telephone from a site on Cobb Island in the middle of the Potomac River near Washington, DC.
Finally, two wealthy Pennsylvania businessmen joined with him to form the National Electric Signaling Company (NESCO) to develop Morse code services between Brant Rock, Massachusetts and several American points and to carry on his own research. In 1903 he sent a voice message to an assistant 50 miles away, and another voice sound was heard at his experimental towers in Scotland. In 1904 he was hired to help engineer the Niagara Falls power plant for the newly formed Ontario Power Commission. In 1906 he opened his own Canadian company in Montreal and on Christmas Eve, 1906, using his heterodyne principle, Fessenden transmitted the first radio broadcast in history from Brant Rock Station, Massachusetts. Ships at sea heard a broadcast that included Fessenden playing the song O Holy Night on the violin and reading a passage from the Bible.
Marconi had sent radio signals from England to Newfoundland in 1901, but only one-way and only in Morse Code. In 1906, Fessenden achieved two-way voice transmission by radio between Scotland and Massachusetts. Still, the potential for his invention was not recognized and even his own backers were not interested in voice or music communication and their business partnership dissolved. A lengthy lawsuit would follow that years later resulted in a large settlement in Fessenden s favour.
Working for a company in Boston, Reginald Fessenden developed a wireless system for submarines to signal each other, and a device using radio waves designed to locate icebergs miles away avoiding another Titanic disaster. At the outbreak of World War I, Fessenden volunteered his services to Canada and was sent to London, England where he developed a device to detect enemy artillery and another to locate enemy submarines.
Fellow Canadians, Henry Woodward and Mathew Evans invented and patented the first light bulb that Thomas Edison commercialized. An inveterate tinkerer, Reginald Fessenden vastly improved on their work. He would become the holder of more than 500 patents, including a version of microfilm. In 1915, he invented the fathometer, a sonar device used to determine the depth of water or a submerged object by means of sound waves for which he won Scientific American's Gold Medal in 1929. The Institute of Radio Engineers presented him with its Medal of Honor, and Philadelphia awarded him a medal and cash prize for "One whose labors had been of great benefit to mankind."
Reginald Fessenden died at his vacation home in Bermuda on July 22, 1932 and was interred there in St. Mark's Church Cemetery.
A New York Herald Tribune editorial said:
- It sometimes happens, even in science, that one man can be right against the world. Professor Fessenden was that man. He fought bitterly and alone to prove his theories. It was he who insisted, against the stormy protests of every recognized authority, that what we now call radio was worked by continuous waves sent through the ether by the transmitting station as light waves are sent out by a flame. Marconi and others insisted that what was happening was a whiplash effect. The progress of radio was retarded a decade by this error. The whiplash theory passed gradually from the minds of men and was replaced by the continuous wave -- one with all too little credit to the man who had been right

Quickest Oscar Hair Growth: John Travolta Ridiculous.
Here's what John Travolta's hair looked like a month ago. Don't tell me this is all natural. My hair doesn't even grow that fast. And I'm practically the world champion of hair growth. This is almost two inches. Please.
Unless plugs grow faster? Like they're supercharged with some kind of growth root? If you have any knowledge about this at all, do share, though Duana just countered that plugs also don't come in that thick. So it has to be a combination -- of plugging, weaving, and spraying? Like part of his head is actual follicle and the other part is stitched in and it's all finished with a mist of black ink to even out the sparse areas?
How long does this take?!?
John and Kelly Preston were at Vanity Fair last night…and so was Paul Haggis who hates the Church now. It's a big enough party to be able to occupy different corners and not have to make it awkward but if by chance they walk past one another in a corridor, do they avert eyes, or does John give him the Xenu eyes which, I imagine, are different from the massage therapist eyes…as we collectively "tee hee" at the brilliance of having him introduce the musical tribute.

Maj. Nidal Hasan was convicted last Friday of premeditated murder in the 2009 shooting at the Fort Hood military base in Texas. The attack killed 13 people and injured more than 30. Hasan, an Army psychiatrist, said his goal was to help Muslim insurgents overseas.
The conviction made Hasan eligible for the death penalty, and prosecutors pushed for it. On Wednesday, a military jury sentenced him to death. He could be the first American soldier to be executed since 1961. But, based on the beliefs of an attorney during the case, that sentence could give Hasan just what he wants.
During the trial, Hasan chose to represent himself, but he had three standby military lawyers on hand for advice if he requested it. One of those defense attorneys worried earlier this month that Hasan was "working in concert with the prosecution in achieving a death sentence." That attorney, Lt. Col. Kris Poppe, told the judge in the case that it is "clear [Hasan's] goal is to remove impediments or obstacles to the death penalty and is working towards a death penalty."
Hasan took issue with the attorney's interpretation of his defense, saying the attorney "made an assertion that is inaccurate."
In his self-defense, Hassan did not try, even a little, to present himself as innocent. In his opening statement, he said, "Evidence will clearly show that I am the shooter, and the dead bodies will show the war is an ugly thing." The government tried to make the case that Hasan "came to believe he possessed a jihad duty to kill as many soldiers as possible."
Whether the death penalty is Hasan's goal likely didn't matter in the sentencing, because that is the penalty the prosecution was looking for. But it raises real questions about how serious a punishment can be if it is what the criminal is looking for. In court, the government argued that the death penalty is the only way to give the military and families of Hasan's victims justice and peace of mind. But if Hasan is looking to become a martyr for his cause, it's hard to see how giving him that would help victims and their families.

Brave Heart
Over supper one night, I sat down with a book I've read many times: Roland Merullo's novel, "A Little Love Story." I flipped through the pages, starting at an arbitrary spot, just letting myself enjoy the language and the characters once more. Sure, I knew exactly how it would all turn out. Sure, I've read the first page so many times I practically have it memorized. But even so, is there really a more beautiful, poetic, mysterious first line than this: "Five miles below I dreamt the blue Pacific, scalloped with whitecaps and looking like it had been frozen in time" … ?
Merullo's novel centers around a young woman named Janet, who is dying of cystic fibrosis, and Jake, the man who loves her. Jake, the narrator, is a portrait artist. As he walks with Janet through what they both believe to be her last days on earth, he's also attempting to complete a painting of her. In the process of working on the canvas one night, Jake remarks on how much he's learned about Janet since he first began painting: "She looked smart and pretty, when in fact she was smart and pretty and unbelievably brave." He recounts the horrors she lives with, lives through. Cystic fibrosis means constant coughing and spitting up mucus, traumatic and invasive surgeries, and Jake stands in amazement that Janet goes about living as "normal" a life as possible in the face of all this. He cannot fathom how much effort it takes just for her to breathe, just for her to do this simple thing that most of us take for granted every moment of every day.
He says, "There was no way to measure bravery like that." Even so, he knows that most other people don't see it that way. Though Janet had the courage of a hero, she faced the world's bias and derision on a daily basis. People who didn't know about her diagnosis would make nasty comments, ignore her, or at the very least, keep their distance. Even in the face of these misunderstandings, Jake marvels, Janet has tried to keep her head up, to stay kind, to stay human.
And it was about here that I started crying and couldn't stop. Because all at once, I saw something in the passage that—despite my many readings—I'd never seen before. I saw that, if you changed around the specific challenges and replaced "cystic fibrosis" with "autism," you'd have a gorgeous, accurate, intense description of what life is like for people on the spectrum … for my brother Willie, some of my friends, and extended family members too. Every day, they face a world that largely doesn't accept or understand their differences. Every day, they get out of bed and do the best they can when fundamental life skills like eye contact or speech or physical touch or social interaction don't come naturally to them. Every day, they move through the world knowing that they are different, that they were handed challenges the rest of us can only imagine dealing with. And yet—at least for the people I am privileged to know—the difference doesn't make them bitter. They don't give up. They show up for their lives, their families, themselves.
And sometimes it just slays me that, much as I love them, I can't take away the times when no one has been there for them. The times when they've faced the nasty looks and judgments and isolation and misunderstanding. God, what I wouldn't give to erase every one of those experiences. But that's not in my power, and perhaps that's best. In a kind of inexplicable alchemy, all those awful things actually helped make them the strong, resilient people they are today.
Though the things they've endured can seem unbearably dark to me at times, those challenges ultimately fade into the background. So maybe I don't need to look at those difficulties so closely, because they're not what remains in the end. Maybe the light in their eyes is where I need to look instead. Because Merullo's narrator is right … there's no way to measure the bravery I see there.
