H. Melvin Tyner
H. Melvin Tyner, born Oct. 27, 1914, died from complications of a heart and lung condition at Southeastern Regional Medical Center on Oct. 26, 2012.
The funeral will be 3 p.m. Tuesday at Revels Funeral Home Chapel Lumberton. Burial will follow in Gardens of Faith Cemetery.
He was the son of Lora Mae Prevatt Tyner and Sandy Tyner. He was preceded in death by his wife of 69 years, Lorena Odum Tyner; a daughter, Judith; six brothers, Bunyan, Alton, Wilby, Herbert, Leon and Carrol; and two grandchildren, Daniel Locklear and Anita Whitcraft.
He is survived by five children; Lora Ann Tyner of Lumberton, Sandra Bullock and Dale, Ronald M. Tyner and Rose Ann of Gastonia, Jackie Tyner of the home, Richard Tyner and Gwen of Lumberton; a brother, Rev. Dr. Wayne Tyner ; 12 grandchildren, 30 great-grandchildren and 12 great-great-grandchildren.
Melvin had a love of farming but did public work the first part of his adult life. He served in the Civilian Construction Corps, then the Dey and Zimmerman Co., which built the first 500 mils of the Lumber River EMC line. He worked in several states as a live foreman putting up transition lines all the way to Maine.
He came back to Robeson County and started farming. He was very proud of his ability to raise good crops. He prided himself in his straight rows in the fields and many people would stop by to admire them. About 70 years of age he stopped work and took up his favorite hobbies of fishing and hunting, especially deer hunting. He killed his last deer at the age of 79. He continued his hobby and his last outing was turkey hunting when he was 95.
Melvin had many friends and family he grew up with in the Oak Grove Community. He was hones, trustworthy and a fair man that always treated everyone the same. His favorite words of advice were "if you can't do it right don't do it at all."
The family will receive friends from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday at Revels Funeral Home Lumberton and other times at the home of his son, Ricky, 416 Bollinger Ave. Lumberton, N.C.

The answer to life, the universe and everything is 42. But you may not know why. Now I have found out.
The answer, by the way, is related to Egyptian fractions and Archimedean tilings:
I recently gave a talk on The Foundations of Applied Mathematics, about how category theory shows up in applied math, especially when people use diagrams.
I also gave a talk at the Perimeter Institute of Theoretical Physics, called Energy and the Environment: What Physicists Can Do. You can watch a video of this talk or see the slides. To see the source of any piece of information in these slides, just click on it!
Check out my minimal surface series, and see great images like this picture of the Enneper surface by Ron Avitzur:
Read about electronics and its analogy to classical mechanics in my Network Theory series. This is just the start of a bunch of posts which will eventually study electrical circuits using higher categories.
Click the boxes to hear and read about some pieces I made with Greg Egan's QuasiMusic program, which translates quasicrystals into sound:
I'm done teaching my class on game theory!
Starting with this picture by Bob Harris, learn how we can build the Mathieu group M12, an amazing group with 95,040 elements:
Read my series on the mathematical delights of rolling circles and balls!
Learn about Platonic solids, Coxeter complexes and Coxeter diagrams in this series of posts: part 1, part 2, part 3, part 4, part 5, part 6, part 7 and part 8. Here's the Coxeter complex for the symmetry group of a dodecahedron:
Learn about our galactic environment. What will happen when our solar system hits the next big cloud of interstellar gas?
See my American Geophysical Union talk:
It's an introduction to a project you can join, which is all about
environmental problems and how to solve them. Click the links for more
details. Or, watch my related talk about
The Mathematics of Planet
Learn about infinities called countable ordinals—big ones and
bigger ones!—here on Google Plus.
The tallest mountain in the world is Sāgārmatha, also known
as Chomolungma. But to
reach it from the southeast, as most climbers do, you must pass Khumbu
Icefall and Valley of Silence. Read about them in my blog.
Or if you prefer math to mountains:
There's a math puzzle whose answer is a really huge number. How huge? According to Harvey Friedman, it's incomprehensibly huge. Now Friedman is an expert on enormous infinite numbers and how their existence affects ordinary math. So when he says a finite number is incomprehensibly huge, that's scary. It's like seeing a seasoned tiger hunter running through the jungle with his shotgun, yelling "Help! It's a giant ant!" For more, read this.
In week319 of This Week's Finds, learn about catastrophe theory in climate physics! This is the first issue that features a program you can play with on your browser. It's a simple climate model that illustrates how a small increase in the amount of sunlight hitting the Earth could have a big effects on the climate, by melting snow and revealing darker soil. It was made by Allan Erskine.
Also on my blog, learn about ice, its many forms and crystal structures, how it resembles diamonds, and what scientists do with a machine that uses 80 times the world's electrical power for the few nanoseconds it's running.
If you like astronomy, read about the moon called Dysnomia, a planet whose atmosphere liquifies and then freezes every year, the reason so many objects in the outer solar system are red, why the same chemicals you find in the tarry buildup on a barbecue grill are also seen in outer space... and whether life on Earth could have been started by complex compounds from comets!
If you like art, check out some photos from my trip to Chiang Mai in Thailand:
Archimedean tilings are beautiful patterns
whose possibility is predicted — but not guaranteed —
by solutions to a simple equation. I'll explain what that equation says, where
it comes from, and what happens when things don't quite work!
If you plot all the roots of polynomials whose coefficients are 1 and -1,
say polynomials of some large degree like 24, you get a picture like this:
How can we understand the amazing patterns here? Read The Beauty of Roots for some answers!
For common questions about physics, you can't beat this:
If reading my stuff makes you want to ask questions,
take a look at this.

Andrew Baggarly of CSNBayArea.com reports that the Giants are focused on re-signing Angel Pagan.
Giants manager Bruce Bochy spoke with Pagan on Thursday and Baggarly hears that there's greater optimism that a deal will eventually be reached. The 31-year-old is believed to be looking for a three-year contract. On a related note, Baggarly hears that the Giants never engaged in talks with Melky Cabrera before he signed a two-year, $16 million deal with the Blue Jays on Friday.

1. | well | ||
often used as a substitute for very or so That test was well hard
2. | Well | ||
In many towns in Ireland, 'well' is a salutation or greeting. Having used the expression all my life, I've never been able to figure out whether it's a kindly-meant enquiry as to whether or not all is well with the person so addressed, or simply an expectant demand for news updates - in my hometown, it always felt like the beginning of an interrogation! Well, girl, haven't seen you in ages.
3. | well | ||
The well is the shelf under the bar where they keep liquor at hand for mixing drinks. So, a well brand or house brand is the brand of liquor served when a customer requests a drink by its generic name (e.g. gin and tonic, scotch and soda). It's usually the least expensive brand served, as opposed to more expensive call brands. Order me a Jack and Coke. Their well brand tastes like bathtup gin.
4. | Well | ||
1. <interjection> An expression of surprise or disbelief
2. <adverb> Skilful/skilfully 3. <adverb> Intimately 4. <adverb> informal; extremely 5. <noun> A bored hole into the ground to tap a supply of water, gas or oil 6. <noun> slang; The toilet 1. Well! I never expected John to be THAT good in bed!
2. Well done, Pete 3. I know your mother VERY well... 4. OMG Dat's well good dat! OMGOMG1 5. James, go and fetch a pail of water from the well, there's a good boy. 6. Hold on a second I've gotta use the well... |
5. | well | ||
adjective to describe something good thats well good!
6. | well | ||
Well is used instead of really nowdays because people who speak english correctly are considered to be un-cool by chav idiots, it used to be only used by such idiots but now they've ruined the english language for a lot of other people and decent people have started saying it. The correct way to use the world well is at the start of a sentance. Stupid dumbass chav way: That's well gay.
Correct way: Well You were kinda mean. Well nevermind. Well, I'm off. |
7. | well | ||
A deep subject. Intensified with repetition. "Well ..."
"That's a deep subject." "Well, well ..." "That's a very deep subject." |

PAT CAPUTO: Simple questions, complex answers key to Detroit Tigers World Series bid WITH VIDEO
Reaching baseball's playoffs is one thing; succeeding once there, that's another.
The Tigers have not only proven they can reach the postseason, but win.
Somehow, though, beating the Yankees in an American League Division Series two of the last six years, and reaching the World Series in 2006, only makes anything but winning the World Series very unsatisfactory.
The Tigers play with baseball's big boys these days They sign premier free agents like Prince Fielder in the off-season. They are aggressive buyers at the trade deadline.
Yet, it is not a foregone conclusion the Tigers will reach the postseason. They are in a mighty struggle to win the American League Central with the Chicago White Sox, and if they don't capture the division, the Tigers are just in the mix with a number of teams for the AL's two wildcard spots.
These are the keys if the Tigers are to breakthrough and eventually win their first World Series title since 1984:
- Win the division. The Tigers Jim Leyland has managed in the World Series twice, winning it with the Marlins in 1997, in addition to leading the Tigers in '06. Both times, he got there with a wildcard team.
This is where the terrain has changed dramatically. The worst spot a team can be this year is what is essentially a fourth seed in either league. In the past, that got a team into the tournament with an even shot at winning the World Series compared to the division winners. Five-game series are iffy, to say the least. Now, the fourth-seed gets one game against the fifth-seed. Albeit it in a much reduced field, but it is akin to a play-in game in the NCAA basketball tournament. Continued...
The division winners will be set and waiting with a much higher probability of using their ace to open the divisional series, and possibly going to them twice. Unlike in the past, not winning the division, and reaching the postseason as a wildcard team, would greatly reduce the Tigers' odds of winning the World Series.
- Win the division by as wide a margin as possible. There are a couple theories on this, and they both hold water based on track records. Certainly, last year's Cardinals parlayed a late-season surge into playoff momentum and a World Series title. But it's difficult to believe the Tigers would not be better off being able to set up their starting pitching rotation featuring as many appearances as possible with Justin Verlander, Doug Fister and Max Scherzer.
Verlander is arguably the best pitcher in baseball, and it might be a short argument. Fister has bounced back from early season injuries and been every bit as terrific as he was last season after the Tigers acquired him at the trade deadline. Scherzer's inconsistency is annoying (how can somebody, who throws the ball like that, have an ERA over 4.40 and a WHIP of nearly 1.4), yet he leads the AL in strikeouts and is gradually developing better consistency.
Also, there is a downside to missing so many bats. It's the number of pitches thrown. Verlander, who is second in the league in strikeouts to Scherzer, also throws an inordinate amount of pitches per start.
If the Tigers have the division title wrapped up early enough, Verlander and Scherzer could be backed off for a start or two, making the potential long grind of the playoffs more tolerable for the rotation.
- The bullpen. It is impossible for a club to win the World Series if its bullpen implodes. On paper, the Tigers have a savvy and experienced relief corps with Jose Valverde, Joaquin Benoit, Phil Coke and Octavo Dotel. In reality, those four have been as likely to self-destruct as come through this season. Up to a week ago, Brayan Villarreal had been a reason to feel confident about the Tigers' bullpen. Now? Well…
There is still a lot of baseball left to be played, but at this stage, the Tigers bullpen is a huge question mark.
- Consistency throughout the lineup. It's not just the Tigers stars who have to be stars. World Series title teams tend to get consistent performance from those lower in the order. As it stands right now, the Tigers have two great hitters in Miguel Cabrera and Prince Fielder, and one emerging in Austin Jackson. Omar Infante and Andy Dirks have presented some constant form. The rest of their lineup rolls up and down beyond the norm. The Tigers won't win the World Series if Delmon Young, Jhonny Peralta, Alex Avila and Brennan Boesch are all in slumps at the same time, which has been the case too often for comfort this season.

A favorite with a new twist -- the zipper now goes both ways and the handy kangaroo pockets have hopped to the front. Our ZnO Seaside Hoodie still offers the quick sun coverage and lightweight fabric you love. This top pairs perfectly with our ZnO Beach Pants.
Coolibar SUNTECT® Fabric
ZnO SUNTECT® Our latest innovation: bamboo cotton embedded with micro-particles of zinc oxide for extraordinary comfort and dependable UPF 50+ sun protection. More about SUNTECT® sun protection >
Just purchased recently, have worn it, and have washed and dried it. It's great: very soft and beautiful. I would order 1 size smaller as it is generously sized.
Bought this before going on a trip and practically lived in it!! Was so comfortable and lightweight. Love it!!
My brother had given me this Seaside Hoodie last July. On a recent trip to visit my Aunt in Florida, she borrowed it and refused to give it back. So, I had to order myself a new one. Just love it!
I had bought SPF shirts from other manufacturers and they were too hot and stiff the sun. This light weight hoodie is so soft and comfortable that I wear it inside and out. This is the second zipper hoodie I have purchased. Love it.
This is the coolest and softest sunblock fabric I've ever seen. The style is a bit boxy, not fitted. I usually wear a size 0-2, and the XS is a little loose.
We haven't had much sunny weather to wear this jacket...feels like it will be nice and comfortable. Disappointed at small size/depth of pockets/ladies need more room....and things easily fall out of these when you bend over.
I already had a colored one and decided to get the black for my trip to Europe. Leaving this morning. Have it on now. I love it.
I expected something a bit more substantial, but after trying it on, I decided it is perfect. It completely meets my needs for a lightweight and cool jacket to put on whenever I am outside in the sun. The knit fabric is very light and soft, it's true to size, and I barely know I have it on. There's only one false note with this jacket - it's very high quality, but the string in the hood is a very cheap cotton tape. I'll be replacing that.

WACH Fox News Center covers stories around the Midlands and across the state 24 hours a day, seven days a week.
The Army Corps of Engineers says the storm took up to 100,000 cubic yards of sand from Folly Beach.
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WACH/AP) -- The Army Corps of Engineers estimates that Hurricane Sandy did about $3 million in damage to Folly Beach.
The corps said Tuesday that an assessment of the beach erosion at Folly estimates that it will cost between $2.7 million and $3.5 million to restore the sand on the beach.
The corps says the storm took up to 100,000 cubic yards of sand from Folly. Hurricane Irene last year took an estimated 325,000 cubic yards of sand.
The Post and Courier of Charleston reported that as the storm eroded between 3 and 5 feet of beach as it moved north last weekend.
The corps earlier had estimated it would take up to $20 million to restore the beach from Irene's damage.
Folly Beach Mayor Tim Goodwin says he hopes federal approval for the effort will come soon. Goodwin says Sandy may have added another $1 million to the city's cost of beach renourishment.

Toronto council votes to intervene in gun registry suit
By Don Peat ,City Hall Bureau Chief
First posted: Friday, July 13, 2012 08:55 PM EDT
TORONTO - Against the advice of city legal staff, councillors ordered city legal staff to try to intervene in a gun registry court fight.
City council vote 20-13 on Friday to order the city solicitor to seek leave to intervene in support of the Barbra Schlifer Clinic's motion for an injunction to stop the destruction of long-gun registry data.
The Toronto legal clinic is fighting in the courts to save the registry the federal Conservatives have already voted to scrap.
Just before the vote, Mayor Rob Ford called any fight to maintain the gun registry "a waste of taxpayers' money."....................http://www.torontosun.com/2012/07/13/to ... istry-suit

Team Sigma: Founders P7Chapter 7: The AssaultA few hours later, the four of us -- Tifa, Jack, Skall, and myself, to clarify -- were standing outside the outpost's hatch entrance. The sun was just beginning to disappear from the horizon, allowing us optimally low visibility.For our assault, I had chosen to bring my combat knife, a silenced Kleiner handgun, and a few explosive gel capsules. Tifa carried her crossbow and what was either a large hunting knife or a machete, I don't specifically remember which. Jack opted to bring only her scalpel-esque blade, which she assured me would be sufficient. Lastly, Skall was equipped with a serrated sickle, another set of gel capsules, and some kind of SMG. We immediately began the lengthy trek to Fort Kleiner, and luckily, we made much better time than I originally had. The tower was in sight just as early morning hit, still giving us some shadow to work with. Except for a few more patrols and drones, the scene was unchanged, and for a split second I contemplat

Reducing Biting in Teething Babies
Topic Overview
Some babies Reference bite Opens New Window during Reference teething Opens New Window, because they feel discomfort or pain. The most common symptoms of teething include:
- Swelling, tenderness, or discomfort in the gums at the site of the erupting tooth.
- Increased saliva, which can cause drooling. Drooling may cause a rash to develop on the chin, face, or chest.
- Refusing to eat and drink because of mouth soreness.
- Irritability and trouble sleeping because of the discomfort.
Teething rings or teethers can help ease your baby's discomfort from teething. Many items are available and clearly marked for this purpose. Make sure that items will not pose a choking hazard and are safe to put in a baby's mouth.

79 DAYS DOWN!!!!!! 6 days to go..... not sure how many hours or minutes that is, but I am definitely ready to get out of this brace. It really hasn't been that bad. In some ways it has been pretty cool. I have been killing the StairMaster(level 17-20). I pretty much just ramp till I have to close my eyes and spit on myself. I am not sure if the Olympics in Beijing
will have StairMaster as an event, but if they do I will certainly be ready to bring home some some serious medals. Seriously if you haven't tried level 20.... give it a rip next time you are at the gym.
So Thursday is the DAY. 9:30 am............. That is when I get to pull off the brace. I think the only bummer is..... I don't really get to stop wearing it. I get to begin phasing it out slowly. Alex Urfer takes over on Friday for the Physical Therapy. I haven't bent my core in 79 days. That is going to be weird.

Former Langley mayor begins jail term
February 5, 2013 · 2:51 PM
Former Langley Mayor Larry Kwarsick checked into Island County Jail this week, serving the first of what will be a 15-day sentence.
Kwarsick, who is also the former planning chief for Coupeville, reportedly checked into the jail at about 9 a.m. as was required by the sentence handed down by Judge Vickie Churchill.
The ousted mayor and long-time public servant for several governments on Whidbey Island pleaded guilty to misdemeanor malfeasance in Island County Superior Court this past December.
He altered the conditions of a permit for a family member's home while working as the planning chief for Langley, before being elected the city's mayor in 2011. The crime came to light as the result of a whistle-blower complaint.
Kwarsick is eligible to receive visitors between the hours of 1:30 and 4 p.m. on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

As was the case last year, the Fairfield County Council held their budget public hearing to allow residents to comment on the upcoming budget, and no one came forth to do so.
Monday evening, the Council moved forward with the 2012-13 budget process, passing the ordinance on the second of three scheduled readings to establish operating and capital budgets for the fiscal year beginning July 1 at their regularly scheduled meeting. At the conclusion of that meeting, the Council held a budget work session to discuss the County Administrator's budget recommendations. A budget summary can be accessed at www.fairfieldsc.com/_fileUploads/Budget%20Worksheet%20Report%20FY%202013.pdf.
The budget summary explains any County department's budget increase of five percent or more. Many increases, such as for the Sheriff"s Office, Veteran's Affairs office, Road Maintenance and Building Maintenance Departments and Solid Waste Collections Department, are due to increased fuel costs. In total, County Administrator Phil Hinely suggested a General Fund budget of $24,507,604, an increase of $424,591 or 1.76 percent higher that the 2011-2012 budget.
Hinely's Capital budget includes an increase to the General Operating Fund for the Fire Department, partially in the anticipation of hiring a training officer.
County Fire Marshall Tony Hill was in attendance at the budget work session.
"I want to thank you for the new position at our office," Hill said to the Council. "That person will help us upgrade safety and equipment and recruit new volunteers. The average age of our volunteers is 44 years old. I will be looking for someone who is an instructor at the Fire Academy."
Hill also brought up the topic of moving the Jenkinsville Volunteer Fire Station to property on Highway 215 near the baseball field.
"We hope to put EMS, fire, Sheriff and a community center there," Hill said. "We should be able to put it on the ground in two years. I want to relocate the fire station in Ridgeway. That will probably be in five years."
"Probably the next station after that will need to go south on Highway 215, closer to the Richland County line," said Council Chairman David Ferguson.
"But you need to look at where the future growth is going to go," Council member Kamau Marcharia said.
"But if you look at Blair and Feasterville, they have pretty good coverage," Ferguson said.
The total of the County's draft budget is $37,452,513, which is $526,786, or 1.43 percent, higher that last year.
"The whole budget is incrementally edging ahead in each department's projects," said Hinely. "We are inching along and doing all of the things we need to."
The County Council also directed Hinely to continue giving the County employees 11 paid holidays a year, after he suggested paying employees for 10 days to save money at the last Council meeting.
"We had some mixed emotions about changing that policy to 10 days off," David Ferguson said. "Eighty-three percent of the state's counties give the extra day off at Christmas. We should leave the policy the way it is now."
"I always thought, as an employee myself, that it was a pretty good benefit," Hinely said. "But if other counties do it…Places are changing. They are not giving a cost of living raise. I am someone who looks out for our employees."
Hinely told the Council that the County will give a cost of living raise in his budget proposal.
"The big money in this budget is a two percent raise. It will be given to the employees in full in the first full pay period in July."
The County Council is having their next budget work session inside the former HON building on Highway 321 Business N. in Winnsboro on Monday, April 30 at 6 p.m. The County now uses the facility for its EMS services. The public is invited to attend.

I got "Mayhem" the other day and it's growing on me (especially the up-tempo's), it's perfect for sunday afternoons I'm totally feeling her rockabilly vibe right now.Originally Posted by Eric Generic
I would love to hear her perform in one of those old style "Supper Club" venue's from back in the day . . . like the one portrayed in Duffy's "Stepping Stone" video.
I was amazed to see the album climbing the top 10. Still fancy her something rotten!

Shit, the "Imelda May" album is now a deluxe . .
Yeah, saw that about a month ago on amazon and cursed a little! Will probably get this new version anyway, when it's cheaper. I like the new colour scheme, and it's got enough extra material/mixes to make it worth my while.
I expect I'll get the new Laura Marling album next; I buy precious few brand new albums these days - it takes someone special to get me shelling out at full price now!

This is going to be a great few months for me:
Demi Lovato - Unbroken
Kelly Clarkson - Stronger
Leona Lewis - Glassheart
And I plan on finally purchasing La Roux's debut at some point.
The Disney Girls.
Yeah, i'm thinking the same thing. Would you recommend the first one ?Originally Posted by Eric Generic
I'm still waiting on Katy Perry's deluxe before making her "legal".
Six singles and still no word of a re-release in time for the Christmas market.
Love Tattoo? Absolutely, it's not quite as slick as Mayhem, being a debut and all, but for 2.99 (as it is now on amazon) you cannot do wrong.Originally Posted by calicomoonchild

ST. AUGUSTINE, Fla.-- The family of a bicyclist killed in a hit and run is speaking out for the first time.
Christian Schroom was hit, not once but twice, while riding his bike last weekend. Both drivers took off. Nearly a week later, Schroom's nephew says they still don't have answers. "It was a huge shock. It's rough to come to terms with how it happened. How someone could do that," said Damian Cox.
Schroom was a waiter at a local restaurant and an avid bike rider. His bike is how he ended up in St. Augustine in the first place. "He wanted an adventure and biked from Michigan to the Keys, but stopped in St. Augustine and fell in love with it and ended up staying there," said Cox.
But now police are searching for answers.
Heather Neville is with Velo Fest, a group that educates the community on safe riding. She knows all too well about the danger. "My brother was hit in Jacksonville Beach and my uncle was killed. It has been all around me," said Neville.
That's why she's putting up a memorial -- called a ghost bike -- where Schroom was killed. "The concept is not to scare bicyclists but to bring awareness that something tragic happened here," said Neville.
It's a reminder of something one family cannot forget. "It'd be nice to have answers and closure about why someone would hit him and keep going and leave him there to suffer," said Cox.
Cox says Schroom's mother is taking this hard because she was just diagnosed with terminal cancer weeks before her son's death.

More than 100 new jobs are coming to Mishawaka with a new restaurant.
The three owners of the new Golden Corral broke ground Tuesday and are ready to build the restaurant at the corner of Douglas and Main streets.
It will be a family-run business run through the system set up by the national chain, including meals made fresh in the restaurant.
The families involved have worked together for years.
"Our families are everything to us," said co-owner Pam Zahrt. "That's why we do what we do for our family, for our kids. We all worked together in another business and have for years. And that's one thing, no matter how big we get we want to be a family business because that's where the values are, and everything we believe revolves around family."
The owners say they looked at existing buildings, but none fit their needs.
"We've tried to go into existing locations including the old Ryan's, it just wasn't big enough for us."
The restaurant plans to hire 125 to 150 people when hiring starts in October. They hope to open in late November or early December.

Develop a Risk Checklist
Emotional biases influence the way we feel. It is unwise to tell someone, "Don't feel that way." Instead, emotional biases, such as loss aversion, may be best considered in the portfolio recommendation and investment management phase. One suggestion is to develop a risk policy or a checklist of specific action items to implement should the market go down 15 percent, 25 percent, etc.

Learning Outcomes and Career Outcomes
Graduates with a specialization in Integrative Mental Health (IMH) will be prepared for careers as integrative mental health practitioners, able to provide clinical treatment within the scope of their license, augmented by the use of a variety of complementary and integrative medicine interventions. Their PhD program provides them with marketable skills in demand by health consumers, and promoted by many accrediting bodies.
Consumers today are demanding alternatives to mainstream biomedical psychiatric and mental health care. Pharmacotherapies are often a necessary component of treatment, yet many persons suffer adverse medication effects, or a failure of medication to produce sufficient relief from mental and emotional disorders. Long term many patients do not adhere to medication therapies. The addition of evidence-based behavioral, nutritional, and spiritual/transpersonal interventions can supplement and sometimes replace medication regimens for individuals with acute and chronic mental health disorders.
Many hospitals and clinics are now marketing "integrative care" for mental health disorders, yet there are few graduates of accredited University programs trained in the wide array of complementary and integrative therapies.
Students enrolled in the IMH specialization can earn nationally recognized certificates in clinical hypnosis, biofeedback, and health and wellness coaching, further adding to their toolbox of evidence-based skills in demand in health care today. They also can acquire the knowledge and skills for work in chronic pain, palliative care, and integrative hospice services, areas where integrative approaches have been demonstrated to be clinically effective.

Last Friday, Nick joined Multnomah County Commissioner Loretta Smith, LifeWorks NW, Home Forward, and other community partners at the groundbreaking ceremony for the Center for Hope & Recovery, set to open next year.
"This innovative collaboration provides a treatment facility and permanent housing that helps families to build a solid base of recovery, maintain a crucial support network, sustain the success of their treatment, and remain in their local community," said Mary Monnat, President and CEO of Lifeworks NW.
LifeWorks NW is a long standing Portland non-profit, providing mental health, addiction, and other social services to help build a healthy community.
The Center for Hope & Recovery models our community's core values of opportunity, healthy neighborhoods, sustainability, and leverage – investing public dollars to leverage large private investment that makes visions like this a reality. The Portland Housing Bureau was proud to invest $4.5 million in TIF Set-Aside in this project.
Our community is stronger when everyone has a safe, stable, and affordable place to call home. Special thanks to our partners at LifeWorks NW, Home Forward, Multnomah County, Gerding Edlen, Holst Architecture, O'Neill/Walsh Community Builders, and Wells Fargo for their work on this development. When we link arms – government, business, non-profits, and the faith community – we can do great things.

Yesterday, Nick and his team had the incredible opportunity to visit the Bull Run watershed with Portland Water Bureau (PWB) Director David Shaff and his team.
The watershed is the primary source of drinking water for the City of Portland and its 19 wholesale customers.
102 square miles of the federally-protected Bull Run watershed (147 square miles in all) drains into the Bull Run River and its tributaries. The river drains into two reservoirs, which together store more than 17 billion gallons. Because the water is so pure, it needs only a gentle cleaning before entering the three conduits (pipes) that transport it to Portland. The water moves through the system by gravity, requiring no fossil fuel consumption to move water from the watershed to the main storage reservoir at Powell Butte.
Recently, Nick became Commissioner in charge of the Portland Water Bureau. This tour was a tremendous learning experience about the bureau and the incredible water they deliver to our community.
The entire day was truly remarkable.
PWB provides 80 tours a year to the Bull Run. Click here to sign up for a tour.
We are pleased to share that Portland has earned a 2013 Green Roof Leadership Award for Municipalities from the International Green Roof Association (IGRA).
Green roofs, or ecoroofs, replace conventional roofing materials with soil and vegetation.
Ecoroofs have many health and environmental benefits, including making the sewer system more efficient and reliable by acting like giant sponges soaking up rain and keeping stormwater runoff out of our sewers.
We're proud that Portland is receiving international recognition for our innovative stormwater management.
Over 500 ecoroofs cover more than 1.5 million square feet of rooftop in the city of Portland.

PHILADELPHIA Looking for some pop and maybe a little punch from Scott Hartnell, the Flyers graciously accepted his offer to play Saturday despite his not being completely healthy. His shot was rusty and he could barely move, but Hartnell did what he could in this premature return, which means he tried to push a lot of Winnipeg Jets around.
Just what the Flyers needed to pull out an important victory.
Having lost all seven of their games this season in which they trailed entering the third period, the Flyers finally reversed that trend, thanks to final-frame power play goals by Brayden Schenn and Wayne Simmonds that paved the way for a 5-3 victory over the Jets at Wells Fargo Center.
At the heart of this rare late comeback was the younger Schenn brother, who might have started this season a tad slow, but over his last nine games has compiled six goals and 15 points. Two of the bigger points in that run came in this third period.
For his first act, Schenn capitalized on a terrific backpass by an onrushing Jakub Voracek, Schenn finishing it off with a sharp shot past Jets goalie Ondrej Pavelec to get the game tied at 3-3 at 6:18 of the third. Then just 2:39 later, it was Schenn playing playmaker to get the Flyers their first lead of the day. This time it was Schenn threading a pass past Pavelec and through to Simmonds, who jammed it into the open net for 4-3.
It was retribution for Simmonds, who had his second straight so-called Gordie Howe hat trick (goal, assist and fight), and more significantly has five goals and five assists over his last eight games. Hed had a chance to tie the game earlier but missed on an open-net opportunity. Little matter, for the Flyers werent going to be denied on this day.
Zac Rinaldo carried the puck the length of the ice before rolling it into an empty net right at the final horn to complete the scoring and a run of four straight goals for the Flyers.
It was a real turnaround, but it was actually motivated by a much more sudden turnaround that occurred on a dime in the first period.
After Evander Kane had opened the scoring at 4:48 of the first period, the Flyers went from sleepy to stumbling. It was about when the Jets had rung up a 12-1 advantage on the shots scoreboard in that period that everyone had to be wondering when Peter Laviolette was going to call one of his special chew-out timeouts.
We were embarrassed more than anything, said Rinaldo, who took the time to pop the Jets 12 times on the day before carefully rolling in that last goal. It was an embarrassment. Especially being at home.
To get their mojo back, the Flyers gathered themselves in a TV timeout, then gathered steam the old-fashioned way. It was Simmonds who dropped his gloves to pump up his teammates, wrestling with Winnipegs Chris Thorburn. That fight would seem to spark a run of 16 straight shots on goal as they dominated the rest of the period.
We werent playing very well, we knew that, Simmonds said. We had to get our legs going and we had to get our minds going. I think after that we outshot them 15-nothing (actually 16-zip) or something like that. I was just trying to help the team any way I could.
We needed some energy there.
Amid that, the Flyers got the game tied when Danny Briere, who would go on to play less than nine minutes in the entire game, then admit to no injury, put a shot on Pavelec then followed it up to jam loose the puck into the crease. Schenn stopped by at 15:18 to knock it in for a 1-1 tie.
The end of the period saw the end to the Flyers energy, however. The Jets assumed control, then took a 3-1 lead in the second period on goals by Olli Jokinen and Alexander Burmistrov. But a highsticking call to Dustin Byfuglien his stick hit Briere in the mouth, which at least helped cut down Brieres playing time and a delay of game four seconds later set the Flyers up for a two-man advantage.
It took a while, but a rocket by Claude Giroux at 14:24 of the second brought them to within a goal. The Flyers had a minute left of power-play time, and Simmonds promptly missed a tap-in chance at an open net trying to tie.
Yet he would be right in the middle of the clubs first third-period revival meeting of the season. The Flyers, who had been on a chilly power-play run the past few games, hit for three in a row to finish 3-for-6 on the day. Conversely, the Jets (7-9-1) have gone zilch for their last 21 power-play chances.
I thought we played a pretty hard game, Jets coach Claude Noel said, if you take the special teams out of the scenario.
With Hartnell back but hardly back to speed, and Matt Read out for six weeks with torn muscles in his rib cage, special teams is exactly where the Flyers have to keep finding goals.
The first 10 minutes werent pretty, but after that I thought we took over the game, Briere said. We didnt give them much. It was pretty amazing the way we stuck with the game. It was a complete effort, after those first 10 minutes.

We do require a valid credit card for the security deposit (we do NOT charge the card unless there is a problem that remains unresolved past your departure) or hold a $500 cash deposit that is fully refundable. To date we have had no incident were a security deposit was used - please help keep it that way!
