Prime Minister Ranil Wickremesinghe has sought the co-operation of political party leaders representing parliament to support legislation to deprive MPs found guilty of serious crimes, of their civic rights. Opening the adjournment debate on the Presidential Commission report on the bond issue and 34 investigation reports of PRECIFAC pertaining to corruption under the Rajapaksa regime, the Premier asked whether political parties represented in parliament would support amending Section 81 of the Constitution to deprive a person found guilty of serious crime, their civic rights. "Are the party leaders ready to amend Section 81of the Constitution, or are they scared of doing so?", the Premier asked.
The PM's suggestion, however, was shot down, by both, the SLFP, and, the JVP. Speaking during the same adjournment debate, UPFA General Secretary Minister Mahinda Amaraweera said since late Prime Minister Sirima Bandaranaike was stripped of her civic rights, unfairly, they are against being a party to any more attempts to deprive anybody's civic rights. However, the SLFP was not opposed to subjecting MPs found guilty of wrong doing, being subjected to the judicial process.
Chief Opposition Whip, and, JVP leader Anura Kumara Dissanayake said his party would not back moves to strip anyone of his, or, her civic rights, but would support the government introducing new laws to bar MPs found guilty of corruption entering parliament. "We will support passing of such laws to ensure parliament is a place free of corrupt politicians", he stressed.
President Maithripala Sirisena too has opined that he is not amenable to any move to deprive the civic rights of former President Mahinda Rajapaksa although this would not mean the corrupt would be allowed to go free.
The issue of civic rights, of course, is a sore point with the SLFP. It is understandable from a SLFP point of view. The party was forced to endure a long period in hibernation after Mrs. B. lost her civic rights curtsy JRJ. Hence, it could be a knee jerk reaction by the party towards such a course of action, although Mahinda Rajapaksa is today in the opposition camp and has caused a split in the SLFP. Ironically, the party suffered a similar split, with one faction led by the Maithripala-Anura Group and the other by the Sirima-Chandrika-Vijaya trio, following the loss of civic rights of Mrs B. But this implosion was caused from within, when the SLFP was a single unit, while the recent breakaway occurred when then General Secretary left the party to take on MR at the presidential election. What we are seeing today is the fallout of this split, and, what is more, one half of the blues honeymooning with it's arch political enemy.
It is however difficult to fathom why both, the SLFP, and, JVP are reluctant to support moves to deprive MPs arraigned for serious corruption, their civic rights, while at the same time not being averse to enacting laws to deny such MPs entering parliament and /or contesting for political office. This indeed is a contraction. Deprivation of civic rights involves both, the taking away of voting rights of an individual in addition to barring such individual from holding any political office. Are the SLFP and JVP saying that taking away the voting rights of an individual is unacceptable while blocking an errant MP from entering parliament, or, holding political office is game? Does not this smack of hypocrisy? They, (JVP and SLFP) might as well support the amendment proposed by the PM to deprive MPs charged for corruption their civic rights.
But wait a minute. Is it only parliament that has the powers to deprive rogue MPs of their civic rights? Not so, going by a recent precedent. A Police Constable, the other day, was sentenced to ten years Rigorous Imprisonment AND deprived of his civic rights, for seven years, by the Colombo High Court after he was found guilty of accepting a bribe. Hence, it is apparent that the courts are empowered to impose civic disabilities on offenders and this includes parliamentarians, arraigned for bribery.
Hence, why not leave the matter for the courts to decide, instead of bringing in new laws in parliament? Surely, the Police Constable's act of bribery would pale into insignificance, given the enormity of the bribes politicians are known to accept.
Be that as it may, forgetting the little matter of civic rights, now that both SLFP and JVP are supportive of introducing laws to deny entry to parliament MPs found guilty of serious acts of corruption, the government should do just that. This will go a long away in cleansing the body politic, which is today rotten to the core. Our honourable peoples' representatives should be made to understand in concrete terms that parliament cannot be made an avenue for enriching themselves. It will be interesting to see if this support will be forthcoming from the Joint Opposition, many of whose members are today being investigated for serious acts of corruption.

Norwegian indie producer Anders Tangen has a lot in the works – he's producing a US remake of Dag in Hollywood and the Norwegian comedy series Vikingane, commissioned by Norwegian pubcaster NRK.
Dag is a Norwegian comedy series about a marriage counsellor who thinks people should live in solitude. He hates spending time with other people, except for his friend Benedict, who is struggling to be faithful in his own relationship. Dag's life changes when his sister forces him to go on a blind date with her old childhood friend, Eva. The series was hugely popular on TV2 and is nominated for five Gullruten (Norwegian television awards) this year – including Best TV Drama.
The remake of Dag will be written by Karlsen together with US writer Ric Swartzlander. It is currently casting in the US with well known actors, and will soon be pitched to US broadcasters, including Netflix – known for co-producing Lilyhammer seasons two and three.
Karlsen is also producing the Norwegian comedy series Vikingane, pitched as Monty Python meets Game of Thrones. Written and directed by newcomers Jon Iver Helgaker and Jonas Torgersen, the series is currently filming in Rogaland with some of Lilyhammer talents including Trond Fausa Aurvåg, Marian Saastad Ottesen, Nils Jørgen Kaalstad and Silje Torp.
Set in 790AD, Vikingane features the daily challenges of people living in a small Viking village, from power struggle, brother rivalry, gender equality, to betrayal and friendship. Tangen is waiting to have 1-2 episodes ready in both languages to start pitching the show to world distributors. NRK will air Vikingane in October 2016 and has already ordered a second season for the fall 2017.

Annie got these this week:

Iceland stands alone in having repaid all of its debts following the financial crisis of 2008. Their ability to do this was not based on their belief in elves or their relatively small population, but instead based on the dedication their population to demand and enforce change.
Icelanders held their banks responsible for their losses and inserted citizens back into the political process. The story is, as all history is, far more complicated than that. There is thankfully a great documentary on the subject, which you can watch in its full form here.
Iceland has now repaid its full $1.8 billion dollar debt, gets about 85% of primary energy use and 100% of its electricity from renewable sources, and effectively integrates local and national committees made of actual citizens (not politicians) into the political decision-making process.
Iceland's president (Olaf Ragnar Grimmson) has no party affiliation and declined to sign a law "controlling free speech," and suggesting instead that it be put to a public referendum… at which point the law was withdrawn. There is a sense of responsibility within Iceland society that empowers the individuals to be the change they desire from the world.
How much debt does your country or county have? How much of your energy comes from local renewable sources? Did the bankers from where you come from get "bailed out," or were the banks held responsible for their actions? If the answers you give disappoint you, then there is a lot of work to be done where you live.

Are you concerned about your parent's ability to manage their daily living needs?
Has a recent health crisis with your parent sent their life and yours into a tailspin?
Are you struggling with how to best help your parent and where to find the right resources for their needs?
If you answered "yes" to any of these questions, it's time to call us.
Nancy Tuzzolino, Senior Care Manager, Can Help You with Your Parent
The scenario is all too familiar. Your mom landed in the hospital because she fell. Up until now, your mom has been living on her own, but you've noticed during recent visits that she is having trouble with her memory and doesn't seem to have as much energy as she used to. You live over two hours away, so you can't provide the support mom needs on a daily basis, and you're under the gun to find at-home care when she is discharged from the hospital two days from now.
Does this story sound familiar? It should. Today, about one in four families is providing care in one form or another for an aging parent. More than likely, family members are not prepared for the challenges involved with planning and caring for their loved one. They are often thrust into the role of senior care manager and/or caregiver as the result of a crisis, increasing the anxiety of an already stressful situation.
Where can you turn for help? Senior Care Managers (also referred to as Geriatric Care Managers) are professionals who assist families in dealing with the problems and challenges associated with caring for older adults. Senior Care Managers are well versed in the physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of senior care. They can help stressed family members come up with an effective Care Plan that will provide for your aging loved one's needs.
Senior Care Managers can be a vital part of any care team. They can save you time, money and stress. Ultimately, and most importantly, they can help provide a higher level of care for your loved one, whether they require at-home care or an assisted living arrangement.

text: Author Archives: Denise Zervos Housing Market Expected to "Spring Forward" Just like our clocks this weekend in the majority of the country, the housing market will soon "spring forward!" Similar to tension in a spring, the lack of inventory available for sale in the market right now is what is holding back the market. Written by Denise Zervos March 8, 2017 Thinking of Selling? Do it TODAY!! That headline might be a little aggressive. However, as the data on the 2017 housing market begins to roll in, we can definitely say one thing: If you are considering selling, IT IS TIME TO LIST YOUR HOME! Written by Denise Zervos March 7, 2017 The Connection Between Home Prices & Family Wealth Over the next five years, home prices are expected to appreciate 3.22% per year on average and to grow by 17.3% cumulatively, according to Pulsenomics' most recent Home Price Expectation Survey. Written by Denise Zervos March 6, 2017 Where Did Americans Move in 2016? Some Highlights: For the 5th year in a row, the Northeast saw a concentration of "High Outbound" activity. For the first time ever, South Dakota held the top spot for "High Inbound" states. Much of America's outbound activity can be attributed to Boomers relocating to warmer climates after retiring. Written by Denise Zervos March 3, 2017 Mortgage Rates Impact on 2017 Home Values There is no doubt that historically low mortgage interest rates were a major impetus to housing recovery over the last several years. However, many industry experts are showing concern about the possible effect that the rising rates will have moving forward. Written by Denise Zervos March 2, 2017 Over Half of All Buyers Are Surprised by Closing Costs According to a recent survey conducted by ClosingCorp, over half of all homebuyers are surprised by the closing costs required to obtain their mortgage. Written by Denise Zervos March 1, 2017 How Long Do Most Families Stay in Their Home? The National Association of Realtors (NAR) keeps historical data on many aspects of homeownership. One of the data points that has changed dramatically is the median tenure of a family in a home. As the graph below shows, for over twenty years (1985-2008), the median tenure averaged exactly six years. However, since 2008, that average is almost nine years – an increase of almost 50%. Written by Denise Zervos February 28, 2017 Where Are the Home Prices Heading in the Next 5 Years? Today, many real estate conversations center on housing prices and where they may be headed. That is why we like the Home Price Expectation Survey. Written by Denise Zervos February 27, 2017 Existing Home Sales Reach Highest Mark Since 2007 [INFOGRAPHIC] Highlights: Sales of existing homes reached the highest pace in a decade at a seasonally adjusted annual rate of 5.69 million. January marked the 59th consecutive month of year-over-year price gains as the median home price rose 7.1% to $228,900. NAR's Chief Economist, Lawrence Yun had this to say, 'Much of the country saw robust sales activity last month as strong hiring and improved consumer confidence at the end of last year appear to have sparked considerable interest in buying a home.' Written by Denise Zervos February 24, 2017 Lack of Homes for Sale Slowing Down the Housing Market The housing crisis is finally in the rear-view mirror as the real estate market moves down the road to a complete recovery. Home values are up. Home sales are up. Distressed sales (foreclosures and short sales) have fallen dramatically. It seems that 2017 will be the year that the housing market races forward again.

Hanoi; while it wasn't love at first sight I definitely grew to love the city at second sight. Hanoi is lively, with beautiful chaos, home of the best street foods of the world and home of a couple of beautiful places that you need to discover. I don't know why it took me so long to realize that.
At first I thought that one day was enough to see all the highlights of the city – as there aren't many museums or as the city isn't that big. In the end I am glad that I booked more than one day and after three days I still felt like I only saw a small part of the city. Which is probably true.
The highlights of Hanoi include more than just a couple of monuments. The actual highlight of Hanoi exist out of discovering the chaos and the ambiance of the city. Hanoi is a place where you need to wander, follow your nose, the people and the colors. However, as in all cities, we do want to learn about the history and about the culture. While the streets of Hanoi are a perfect place to learn about the culture, I am going to give you 10 things to start your trip with: 10 things you must absolutely do while you are in town!
Visit the Hao Lo Prison – I've learned a lot about the Vietnamese War while I was still in high school. I've learned about the things that took place, I saw the photos and I read the statistics. However only once you see the scars of the war up close and for yourself, you start to understand the damage and the impact. You start to understand the hurt and you start to ask the questions 'Why?'. The Hao Lo Prison was used during the Vietnamese War to lock the political 'criminals' away, and now tells you all about the cruelty that took place here. The Hao Lo Prison is an impressive must visit of Hanoi and while it definitely isn't 'fun' to see, it is a valuable lesson you can't skip while in Hanoi.
Walk through the Mausoleum – Always thought about seeing the body of Ho Chi Minh? Well guess what: you can. The Mausoleum is Ho Chi Minh's last resting place and is open to see for visitors of Hanoi. Seeing the body of Ho Chi Minh definitely was not my favorite thing to do in Hanoi. It feels weird how people can make an attraction out of a dead body. However, it did help me learn to understand the importance of Ho Chi Minh and everything he did for the freedom of Vietnam. Close to the Mausoleum you'll also find the former house and gardens of Ho Chi Minh and the museum about his life and achievements. Definitely a piece of history you can't miss!
Learn in the Women's Museum – When everyone recommended me to go to the Women's Museum I decided that that would be the first thing on my itinerary. The Women's Museum is literally a museum about the women of Vietnam. It teaches you all about the traditions, about marriage, children, work and historical women who made a difference in Vietnam. The Women's Museum is one of the top rated museums of Vietnam and believe me: it won't disappoint.
Discover the old quarter – Oh how I love the old quarter of Hanoi. While at first sight it is hectic, with loads of scooters, people and narrow streets it is beautiful. I only saw how beautiful it was at second sight, but yep: it is definitely beautiful. You probably won't have enough time, eyes and ears to see the old quarter completely. But you'll come a long way in a couple of days. Explore the streets, explore the shops, explore the markets, explore the bars and explore the street food and you'll fall in love with the old quarter.
Enjoy one of the Water puppet theaters – Uhm, yes. In a couple of theaters in Vietnam you can watch a water puppet show. A show where you'll see puppets in the water perform Vietnamese traditions complete with Vietnamese talks and music. While this 45 minutes is more comical than anything else, I think you should see a water puppet theatre show. This ancient old art and form of entertainment is a 'only in Vietnam' thing and therefor something you don't want to miss. It isn't that expensive and time consuming so easy to fit into your busy schedule as well!
Explore the night market – I loved strolling over the night market. Purely because Hanoi is a completely different city at night as it is during day time. The scooters disappear, backpackers and locals go into the old quarter to dine and to enjoy their nights and more shops and bars open their doors than they do during daytime. While the streets are more crowded with people it feels calmer because the scooters aren't allowed in this part of town anymore.
The night market is more than just seeing a market and you definitely shouldn't miss a quick stroll through the center at night!
Chill at the Hoan Kiem Lake – The center of Hanoi, a chill out spot for many locals and tourists and one of the greenest and relaxed places you will be able to find in Hanoi. Oh, as well as it is the home of Ngoc Son Temple. I met people who visited Hoan Kiem Lake early in the morning (during sunrise) and late in the evening (after sunset). I was one of those people who just visited it during the day. What it comes down to? The Hoan Kiem Lake is always beautiful to visit. However: when I saw the photos of the Hoan Kiem Lake at night I was a bit sad that I had missed that!
Visit the Temple of Literature – Now, I wasn't lucky enough to visit the Temple of Literature because it was already closed at the moment I found out about the existence of it. However, I am still putting it on this list because I would have loved to visit it for myself. The Temple of Literature is the homebase of Hanoi's first University, and it just looks absolutely beautiful. The temples are a lovely part of busy Hanoi and one of the most visited monuments of the city!
Explore the street foods – Hanoi, just as Bangkok and other big Asian cities, is filled with small little street food places where you just need to taste one or another recipe. Next to the fact that it is enormously cheap, it is probably the most delicious Asian food you'll taste in a while. As there are so many street food places I would recommend you to follow your nose and ask your hotel/hostel which places they adore!
Take a cooking class – Just as you will find them a lot in Hoi Ann, Hanoi offers a lot of cooking classes so you can learn how to make the most delicious Vietnamese recipes. A lot of fun and rewarding as you can go home with a little bit of Asia for your kitchen! Again: as there are so many cooking classes you can follow, ask your hotel/hostel which ones they recommend!

text: GamesRadar - No, Sony didn't announce a sequel to PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale. But we're not ready to give up on this franchise. On the contrary--we hope this is just the beginning. We're thinking it could go yearly, with each iteration adding new retro characters, as well as a smattering of heroes from that year's releases. While Nintendo's Smash Bros. aims to be timeless, PSASBR can be a yearly brawl of the best characters. If Sony plays its cards right, it could be the proving ground for new heroes. Here's who we hope makes the cut next time, if there is a next time.

We are moving to a beautiful rental farmhouse on the edge of a pretty little (and I mean little) town just a few miles down the road from our current home.
We had been looking for a new home for some time due to my husband's job which takes him out of town. The thought had been to find a home in a more central location. With our blended family things like a move are never an easy decision. We weren't in a huge hurry but we had been discussing it.
|We have found ourselves in a bit of a pickle.
This move was not however to get us all that closer to The Hubs but instead to move us to a home that is more rural (which we wanted), puts both Pirate Rob and Princess Peony in the same high school (life will be easier), gives us a transition house while we decide what our next step is with his job (there is a possible promotion in a city even farther away than he is driving now), and most importantly because what we thought was a small fix-it problem in our house has turned out to be a HUGE hidden problem.
A problem we actually can not fix and must in fact leave our house so as to not potentially damage our bodies. We are leaving behind or throwing away many of our things. We are having to clean and vacuum everything that can leave with us. It has been a taxing, frustrating, humbling, exhausting, and emotionally wrenching experience. We are having to trust God, trust others, and ride out this storm to keep our family intact and healthy.
Through it all, God is in control and we as a family will grow closer to Him and each other as we sort through the next few months. My mantra has been Philippians 4:13:
I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.and Matthew 19:26
But Jesus looked at them and said, "For mortals it is impossible, but for God all things are possible."
Jesus loves me this I know
For the Bible tells me so!Little Ones to Him belong;
They are weak
But He is strong.
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus loves me!
Yes, Jesus Loves me,
The Bible tells me so!
25 "Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? 27 And can any of you by worrying add a single hour to your span of life? 28 And why do you worry about clothing? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they neither toil nor spin, 29 yet I tell you, even Solomon in all his glory was not clothed like one of these. 30 But if God so clothes the grass of the field, which is alive today and tomorrow is thrown into the oven, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 Therefore do not worry, saying, 'What will we eat?' or 'What will we drink?' or 'What will we wear?' 32 For it is the Gentiles who strive for all these things; and indeed your heavenly Father knows that you need all these things. 33 But strive first for the kingdom of God and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well.
34 "So do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring worries of its own. Today's trouble is enough for today. ~ Matthew 6:25-34

Learning the Ropes: Teaching to Head Part 1
In Part 1 of this series, Brad Lund gives instructions on how to start training a horse to head.
By Brad Lund in The American Quarter Horse Journal | May 29, 2011
When I introduce my horse to heading, I first teach him to "log" by pulling the ground-driven roping dummy around and teaching him where to keep his body position. For the dummy, I like to have an inner tube on there so there is a little bit of stretch, and it better simulates a steer. That way, it's just not a solid tug. It has a little give to it.
By logging the horse, I am teaching him to also accept pressure on the saddle horn. Sometimes, when you first ask the horse to pull the dummy around, he will get scared a couple of times. During this training period, I don't worry about where his body is. I just want him mentally to get used to having pressure on the saddle horn and what it actually feels like to pull something.
Learn how to build a loop and swing a rope with AQHA Professional Horseman Patrick Hooks in the FREE report Roping Basics.
I start out at a walk, and then I'll start trotting as the horse learns how to take some pressure on the saddle horn. As time goes on, I work the horse in straight lines across the arena.
Eventually, I'm going to push his hip away from the rope. When a horse pulls, his natural instinct is to get his hips or his hind legs underneath the rope. When he's running across the arena, there's no way that he can face a steer like that. This can be one of the hardest things for a head horse to learn.
While he is pulling the dummy, I keep his rib cage stuck out to the left and his nose tipped to the right a little bit. That way, when I stop him and ask him to face, he'll be in the proper position.
AQHA's Versatility Ranch Horse competition is attracting more and more people to the show ring. But for many of them, there's just one catch: the roping. Learn about terminology and more in Roping Basics, a FREE report from AQHA.
I also take the dummy and lope with it. When I lope off, I'm going to put the horse in the left lead. When I come to the end of the arena to turn, I'm going to push his hip over and make him move over just like I would if I was heading a steer. That pull has got to be the same just like you're heading a steer.
When you finally introduce the cow, you will be basically steer stopping, just roping the steer, stopping him and then letting the horse get used to the steer pulling on the end of the rope.

I've been traveling around Nicaragua for almost two years now, and I've seen lots of small towns out there. But none are like this one.The main form of transportation for Nicaraguans is by bus. It's pretty cheap to travel for foreign tourists. The most expensive ticket I've bought was from Managua to San Carlos, close to 7 hours, at about seven dollars. And that was because we took the nice bus.
On the road you always pass by dozens of tiny little hamlets whose population ranges to no more than a few thousand. Nicaragua is the least densely populated country of all Central America. The people that live by the roads are generally farmers along with a few small businesses that cater to both the farmers and the travelers passing through.
Then the bus pulls out onto the highlands. Here the wind constantly whips by at high speeds, bending trees, bushes and pedestrians as it passes. The hilltops are almost naked of trees, however the glens between them are full of forest that was sheltered from the winds.
All around the road are abandoned houses with missing walls and roofs. Sometimes you think that nobody lives here until you see some old woman hanging laundry between the destroyed structures. These "homes" often remind me of post-apocalyptic movies like Road Warrior where you see humans trying to cling to life in desolate waste lands.

In my capacity as an outpatient psychologist, I have worked
with children and adults of all ages for over twenty years.
Usually parents drag their kids into my office complaining of
a litany of bad behaviors, ranging from not cleaning up their
rooms, to getting bad grades, hitting their siblings, or worse,
stealing, fighting or doing drugs. These behaviors intensify
after a divorce, causing parents to pay much more attention to
the children, often to the detriment of their own well being.
A very neglected area of concern is that parents, following
a divorce, sometimes do not take good care of themselves.
One of the things I notice about the recently divorced is how
much weight they lose. Divorce is a huge stress, causing adults
to usually eat less, sleep less and generally not take good care
of themselves. Losing weight this way is one of the few touted
physical benefits of separation, but I do not recommend the
"divorce diet plan." It is one of the most severe ways to lose
And, the opposite is sometimes true. A few recently divorced
adults gain weight, because food has become their "new friend."
Go see a therapist for this one, too. Instead, as a recently
divorced parent, try the following "top ten" common sense
1) Avoid isolating yourself from people. Help your children and
yourself reconnect with aunts/uncles, grandparents, friends or church.
2) Build your support group. Support groups in which adults can talk
with those experiencing similar feelings may be especially helpful in
easing this pain. A number of such groups operate online.
3) Take care of your health and your children's health.
4) Eat a healthy balanced diet.
5) Exercise.
6) Take some time off.
7) Do not prematurely start another relationship. "Rebound"
relationships are those that people jump into after their previous
one ended through separation, divorce or death. Usually parents
are not recovered from the previous loss, so they are emotionally
out of balance. From this emotional space, parents make decisions
about their new partner. Such relationships are not forged on the
anvil of objectivity nor emotional stability; hence, the new partner
is more likely going to be used to help the parent heal, or worse,
mask the pain. These relationships often are not very functional
beyond that. This is why post-divorce promiscuity is so common.
While the sex may be fun and while the relationships in which it
occurs may be stimulating, rebound relationships in general rarely
"go the distance." They just happen too soon after the previous one.
The longer the parent takes to heal and the more "centered" the
parent is, the more likely he or she will exercise good judgment,
psychologically mitigate previous losses and lastly, more wisely
choose the next partner.
8) Keep a journal or get some counseling.
9) Establish new traditions. Remember, it is not only young children
who may feel a sense of loss around holidays and special times.
Many adult children become angry and confused about losing family
rituals (even if they once groused about them). Be flexible in
establishing new traditions, especially around holidays and
celebrations of special events, such as birthdays. However, be
sensitive about incorporating new individuals into family groupings.
Look for fun activities to help relieve stress and encourage building
or rebuilding relationships.
10) Be vigilant. Divorce is stressful for kids of any age. Even if
your child has generally had a positive spin on things, keep an eye
ut for rough patches. Arrange for counseling or encourage your
children to seek help if you see serious signs of emotional fragility.
-Dr. Griggs

Upwell family offer £4,000 reward for four dogs' safe return
A family whose dogs were stolen from their home in Upwell three months ago have made one last plea for their safe return.
Emily Fry, whose parents' home the four miniature Dachshunds were taken from in April, says the family need closure.
The four dogs were stolen from Christine Holden-Storey's property in Back Drove on the night of Tuesday, April 18 and since there have been fears for the Dachshunds' safety.
The family have now revealed they are offering a £1,000 reward per dog.
Ms Fry said: "We are offering a £1,000 reward per dog as we believe there is a possibility they have been separated as we have received information from the public that one was recently offered for sale.
"For the sake of my parents who are utterly heartbroken, we need closure for them."
She said there are also safety concerns for the dogs.
"We need to know where they are, especially in the extremely hot weather as Dachshunds are more susceptible to heat stroke and dehydration."
The family have said they are not looking for explanations, as long as the dogs are safely returned to them.
"No questions asked, we just want them home," she said.
Back in April, Mrs Holden-Storey said she had been living in "hell" since the burglary at her home, which happened in a half an hour period between 9.30pm and 10pm that night.
She said she was unsure of her future in the village after the burglary.
"I have been breedings dogs for more than 40 years – I haven't lived here for all of that time and I possibly won't be for much longer.
"I believe we were targeted and it's not nice to think we have been watched."
The four female miniature Dachshunds are: Phoebe and Lola (smooth reds), Millie (chocolate) and Florence (wire-haired).
Phoebe, who is almost 11, requires a specialist diet and cannot eat regular dog food.
If you have information, contact Norfolk Police on 101 or Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555 111.
You can contact the family directly on 01945 774377 or 07432 706306.

SCOOP 2012: One SCOOP watch postmarked for Germany, LuckyBoxxi win Event #36-L ($55 PLO 6-max)
The second leg of horse racing's Triple Crown went off this evening as the Kentucky Derby winner "I'll Have Another" managed to nip the favorite Bodemeister at the finish to complete the second leg of the elusive Triple Crown that has not been captured since 1978 when "Affirmed" took down the Kentucky, Preakness, and the Belmont Stakes. Perhaps in time here at PokerStars the Turbo Championship of Online Poker (TCOOP), Spring Championship of Online Poker (SCOOP), and the World Championship of Online Poker (WCOOP) will have its own moniker to grant the winner of all three a title worthy of their feat. "The Triple Star"? "OOP-Three-for-Three (yeah you know me)"? Whatever the name becomes, tonight's SCOOP 2012 Event #36-L $55 6-Max Pot Limit Omaha tournament also represents the second leg of the big tournament series here at PokerStars.
$100,000.00 guaranteed prize pool was an afterthought once again as the successful string of guarantee bashing entries continued with 3,289 players forking over $55 for a shot at a $25,902.68 first prize plus the lovely SCOOP Champion's watch pictured below:
$164,450.00 divided up 420 ways (but not equally of course) as high stakes players such as Player of the Series leader Shaun Deeb, Benny "toweliestar" Spindler, and Sorel "zangbezan24" Mizzi were among the early exits.
Team Online and Team PokerStars Pros also attempted to crack the money today as Lex Veldhuis (2,067th place), Raymond Wu (1,796th place), Shane "shaniac" Schleger (1,335th place). George "Jorj95" Lind (773rd place), Mickey "mement_mori" Petersen (657th place), Jose "nachobarbero" Barbero (609th place), and Bertrand "ElkY" Grospellier (487th place) all attempted unsuccessfully to crack the money bubble.
Only one Team PokerStars Pro managed to slide into the cash, as Marcin "Goral" Horecki added some more points to his tied for 11th place on the SCOOP Player of the Series leaderboard with a small cash in 397th place ($88.80). In the "low" division leaderboard "evanski" managed a cash in 271st place ($101.95) and now trailed division leader Drew M Scott (1,092nd place) by five points for that SCOOP trophy and PCA 2013 prize package.
Last year's champ in this event, npomocc, did not show up to defend the title, fellow final tablist "iwonthurtyou" almost snuck into the cash this year but busted near the bubble in 432nd place.
It would only take nine hours to reach the final two tables as players like Chris "ImDaNuts" Oliver, a final tablist in Event #21-H would barely miss another final table finishing in 18th place ($1,085.37). Markush13 who was last seen at the biggest of big online poker final tables, the WCOOP Main Event would fall to LuckyBoxxi's flopped top two and rivered queens full, missing out on another shot at an another -COOP final table in ninth place ($1,438.93).
With the blinds at 30K/60K Ghoyteep's kings K♦ K♥ A♦ 6♦ would safely put BizzZNessS' A♠3♣7♦J♠ to sleep despite a jack on the door J♣ 2♦ 9♥ 9♣ 5♥ in ninth place ($1,973.40). Another near miss for the Russian in the SCOOP 2012 series as BizzZNessS made it to the quarterfinals of Event #7-L.
Kings however were not kind to Mik3ll who tried to push a short stack in after a 3♠ T♥ 5♥ flop with K♦K♠8♣5♠ and getting called by fgromwell's pair, gutshot straight and flush draws 8♥4♥3♦7♦. The flush did not wait till the river to hit as the Q♥ on the turn gave Mik3ll an unbeatable flush for the 1.8 million chip pot and setting up the final table bubble.
No one would have blamed lhbcney for cheering before the chips slid into that shortstack. After getting it all in preflop holding 6♦ J♦ Q♣ Q♠ against Ghoyteep's kings J♥ K♠ K♣ A♦ there would be a reason to cheer after notching a turned flush to overcome the higher pair A♣ 5♦ 4♦ K♦. The flush turned out to be a mixed blessing as the newly minted set of kings for Ghoyteep would turn into a boat 4♣ on the river shipping the remainder of lhbcney's chips to Ghoyteep and starting up the final table below:
Seat 1: Ghoyteep (3260100 in chips)
Seat 2: LuckyBoxxi (3830182 in chips)
Seat 3: Trona ziptet (1099460 in chips)
Seat 4: fgromwell (2874543 in chips)
Seat 5: wpteddy (1336252 in chips)
Seat 6: bloodslut (4044463 in chips)
Just as the tournament clock struck ten hours our final six would take a short five minute nap before returning to 40K/80K blinds and a sizable 2.7 million chip average for plenty of play. Ghoyteep would be shooting to improve on a fifth place finish in Event #31-L 8-game final table as the others are looking to make the most of their first SCOOP final table.
Not a teddy bear
As the blinds moved up to 50K/100K Trona ziptet would start a quick series of eliminations that cut our final table in half. Holding 927,840 chips on the button Trona ziptet would raise to 300,000 as wpteddy called from the big blind to see a 3♣T♣8♦ flop. No passive play here as wpteddy led out for enough to put Trona ziptet all-in. Holding aces A♣ A♠ 9♦ Q♠ Trona ziptet made the call as wpteddy flipped up a wrap draw 6♥ 9♠ 5♣ 7♦. 8♥ turn missed the plethora of outs, but 7♥ did not as wpteddy's straight hauled in 1.9 million chips and knocked out Trona ziptet in sixth place ($2,918.98).
Lucky Lucky
The next two hands LuckyBoxxi would take out a finalist back-to-back. First, LuckyBoxxi would tangle with fgromwell in the largest pot of the tournament below:
6.2 million sitting in the middle after a coordinated Q♣3♥J♥ flop. LuckyBoxxi would be clutching a pair of kings with a flush draw K♥ K♦ 6♥ 5♠ against fgromwell's wrap straight draw T♦ 9♣ 8♥ J♦. No connection on the Q♠ turn nor the 4♦ river and LuckyBoxxi slid safely into home with the chip lead as fgromwell stepped off the stage in fifth place ($5,726.14).
The very next hand LuckyBoxxi barely got a "nh" "gg" into the chat box before tangling with wpteddy post-flop. After LuckyBoxxi's 220,000 chip raise was called by wpteddy on the button both liked the 3♠T♣J♣ flop enough to trade raises until 3.9 million chips sat in the middle. K♠ T♥ J♥ Q♥ top two plus an open-ended straight draw for LuckyBoxxi versus wpteddy's set of tens T♦A♦T♠9♠. Club on the turn Q♣ helped no one, but the ace on the river A♠ would start up some lengthy chop talks as LuckyBoxxi's straight knocked out wpteddy in fourth place ($8,962.52).
Are we there yet? Are we there yet?
One person holding the majority of the chips during a chop discussion usually ends with the Team Online or Team PokerStars Pro firing up the dealer once again. However, after 20 minutes our final three were able to settle things like civilized folks that left the SCOOP championship watch and $2,000.00 to play for:
LuckyBoxxi: $24,000.00
bloodslut: $16,628.23
Ghoyteep: $16,000.00
Boxxi conundrum
With holding over half the chips in play Ghoyteep and bloodslut would need find chips quickly or face a chip bludgeoning from LuckyBoxxi. They would do so after the blinds moved up to 60K/120K as the hand started innocently enough with a min-raise by Ghoyteep and call from bloodslut in the big blind. The all-low 4♦5♣7♣ got both players to quickly swap bets until 7.4 million chips sat in the middle and bloodslut covering by just 429,695 chips. Both players hit the flop hard as bloodslut rolled over top set 8♦K♠7♠7♦ as Ghoyteep started a fading dance with the nut straight 8♠6♥T♦A♦. The two-step jig worked as the board failed to pair on the 9♣ turn and T♣ river to give Ghoyteep ammo to take on LuckyBoxxi. bloodslut would toss in the remainder of the chips again LuckyBoxxi two hands later and was retired in third place ($16,628.23).
One boxxed SCOOP postmarked for Germany
The 10.7 million to 5.6 million chip lead for LuckyBoxxi would be lost twice, but in the end found for good. Four hands into heads-up play Ghoyteep would nearly tie the match after hauling in a 4.5 million chip pot after LuckyBoxxi could not respond to a 2.7 million chip river shove.
As the blinds moved up to 80K/160K Ghoyteep would take over the lead after another four million chip pot. With the board showing Q♥9♣9♠2♥ Ghoyteep would push out a 2.21 million chip bet that the German declined to match.
However, three minutes later with Ghoyteep holding a 10.3 million to 6.1 million advantage both players got all the chips in preflop. Double-suited aces 7♣ A♣ 8♥ A♥ for LuckyBoxxi and also double suited 6♦Q♦J♠A♠ but no pair of aces for Ghoyteep. Ghoyteep was shutout after the A♦ 6♣ T♣ 5♥ turn giving the lead back to LuckyBoxxi.
Ghoyteep would double to seven million two hands later and take the lead yet again a mere four minutes later. As quickly as Ghoyteep came back, the chip lead went back to LuckyBoxxi again after the German scooped a 13.9 million chip pot with kings K♣J♣T♦K♦ holding against Ghoyteeps jacks J♦9♣J♠A♣ on the 8♥ 3♣ T♣ 5♦ T♥ board.
This would be the death knell for Ghoyteep's tournament as eight hands later LuckyBoxxi would find the hand below:
Just two million left Ghoyteep would be all-in post-flop A♦6♥7♣ holding top two pair A♠2♦7♦3♦ as LuckyBoxxi called with 9♦5♠6♦3♠ a double-belly buster and a pair. The straight draw was never needed as a 6♠ turn served up trips and the river 5♦ a boat for the SCOOP 2012 Event #36-L champion LuckyBoxxi!

What is Developmental Apraxia of Speech?
This excellent article by Ann S. Guild,MACCC/SLP with some additions Tracy Vail, MSCCC/SLP is reproduced with their permission in order to help all parents, grandparents, special educators and speech language pathologists understand our children. It is the best handout that I have seen. Please give it to anyone who touches children who display these symptoms.
What is DAS or DVD?
DAS is a speech disorder that interferes with a child's ability to correctlypronounce sounds, syllables and words. It is the loss of ability to consistently position the articulators (face, tongue, lips, jaw) for the production of speech sounds and for sequencing those sounds into syllables or words. Generally, there is nothing wrong with the muscles themselves. The child does not have difficulty with non-speech activities performed with the muscles such as coughing, chewing or swallowing. However, the area of the brain that tells the muscles how to move and what to do to make a particular sound or series of sounds is damaged or not fully developed. This makes retrieving the "motor plan" for saying a word difficult.
As a result, even though the child knows what he wants to say, he cannot say it correctly at that particular time. Sometimes he cannot even begin. Either the wrong sound comes out, or many sounds are left out all together. At that particular time, the motor plan is not accessible. These errors are not under the child's voluntary control so he often cannot correct them, even when trying his hardest. Frequently, a child will be able to produce a sound or word at one time and not be able to say is again when he wants to. A parent may hear words when the child is playing alone or when he is angry, but when asked to say the same word, he can't. This can be very frustrating for both the child and the parents.
DAS is a neurologically based speech disorder. It is caused by subtle brain impairment or malfunctioning. No one currently know exactly what this brain impairment is or what causes it. Theories range from supposing the impairment is a very specific small injury or difference in the speech area of the brain to saying that is a very diffuse change that is not possible to isolate.
What are some of the main characteristics of DAS?
For a young child with DAS, a limited speech sound repertoire is frequently the main characteristic of his speech. This simply means that the child has very few speech sounds that he can use automatically so he frequently uses a simple syllable (such as da) to stand for almost everything.
If the child has gotten to a level where he can use several different consonants and is actually talking, the main characteristic of the DAS is inconsistency. A child with DAS is likely to have inconsistent speech errors and speech capability. For instance, he may be able to say a /p/ sound at the beginning of words as long as the /p/ is followed by an /o/, yet, he may not be able to say it if followed by an /e/. Or, maybe he can only say a /p/ at the beginning of a word if the word also ends in a /p/ as in pop. Another example could be that the child can say a /p/ word just fine by itself, but if there is a /t/ word in front of it, the /p/ becomes a /t/( so two pan is said two tan).
Perhaps he can say short single words well, but as soon as he uses two or three words in a row, he drops all the ending sounds. These inconsistencies can easily lead to confusion on the part of both the child and the parent. The child learns that he cannot trust himself to communicate his ideas well, and the parent may wonder whether the child is just being careless or lazy.
The length of a phrase as an adverse effect on articulation. Generally, the longer the utterance, the worse the speech accuracy. A child may be able to say syllables and short words fairly well but be impossible to understand in phrases or sentences.
Apraxic children are usually better at imitating speech than at saying words spontaneously. If you ask a child to say a words right after you, he is likely to say it more accurately than if he said it without your model.
Anxiety may affect a child's ability to speak well. For all of us, performing is more difficult than talking. Under stress, the ability to retrieve motor plans becomes more challenging. A child may be able to say a word or phrase well in a relaxed setting but, when he is "put on display" and asked to " Tell Grandma...", the plan for saying that word or phrase is not accessible, and the child fails.
Children with DAS may also lose words. Parents frequently report that the child "used to say that, but doesn't anymore". This is another example of the motor plan for a word or phrase being unavailable to the child.
What other areas can be affected by DAS?
What can be done to correct DAS?
A child who has DAS will not simply "grow out of it". Without speech therapy, the child's communication skills may improve as he grows older, but his speech will still be filled with errors and be difficult to understand. Therapy for DAS is generally intensive (2-3 times per week) and is started as soon as the disorder is identified and the child is old enough to participate in therapy (18-30 months). Therapy does not provide a "quick fix". Most apraxic children will be in therapy at least 2 years and sometimes significantly longer. However, all but the most severely Apraxic children who receive intervention will eventually be competent oral communicators. In severe cases, augmentative communication will be needed.
What can you do at home to help your apraxic child?
Probably the most helpful thing that you can do at home is make your child feel as good as possible about his speech and about himself. Accept whatever your child says and, if it is right, praise him. If it is wrong, do not say "No". The child will think that you are disagreeing with the content of his message rather than the way it was said. It is more positive to say, "Yes, that's right" then restate his message with the correct sounds.
This approach serves two purposes. First, it allows you to give positive reinforcement to the child's communicative attempt and to the accuracy of his message. Second, it gives you an opportunity to provide a correct model so that he can hear the message stated correctly.
If you occasionally ask him to try to correct a word, accept whatever comes out and praise him for a good try. Remember that he does not have consistent voluntary control over his speech and may not be able to say a word correctly even though he wants to and even though he said it correctly ten minutes ago.
If you can understand your child, repeat what he has just said so that he can hear how it should sound and so that he knows that you understood him. Again, this will help him feel successful in communicating his ideas. If you are the only family member able to understand the child, don't hesitate to serve as an interpreter for the rest of the family.
After the child has been in therapy, you will be asked to help by doing some speech drills at home. Until the speech/language pathologist gives you specific instructions on what to do, avoid random speech practice at home. This usually leads to frustration for both parent and child.
When the SLP does give practice material, try to practice for a few minutes each day. The more you practice, the faster that specific "motor plan" will become habitual. It is better to practice for a few minutes each day than to practice once or twice a week for longer periods of time. If you child is reluctant to practice, try using a reward system such as a sticker chart or earning small amounts of money towards a favorite toy.
Also, avoid any power struggle situations in which you are requiring the child to say a words before he can have something he wants. In general, you want to avoid criticizing or correcting your child's speech. You also want to avoid putting the child on display.
Instead, you need to be supportive as possible. This will help create self esteem and a positive atmosphere in which you child can learn to enjoy communication. As people, we are driven to communicate with each other. If a child is unsuccessful in communicating, it can severely undermine his self-esteem. It is our job to help the child feel as successful as possible as soon as possible. If you don't understand your child, have him use gestures or point to what he wants. Don't pretend to understand your child if you don't. He needs to know that his message is important to you. Let him know you understand his frustration and use whatever means possible to help him get his message across (pictures, signs, gestures etc.)
Will teaching my child sign language or picture communication systems make him not want to talk?
The young child with DAS usually has a good understanding of language even though he does not talk. This is very frustrating for the child. One of our first tasks is to lower that frustration level so that the child can enjoy communication. We all communicate in many ways: body language, facial expression, gesture, sound effects and spoken and written words. If we view sign language as a formal set of gestures, then it is not very different from the communication we use all the time. As people, we are driven to communicate with others through talking, however, when talking is difficult to learn, learning to communicate is also difficult. This is when sign language or picture communication systems can be of great help.
Sign language provides the child a way to show others what he wants and knows. It allows him to learn the value of sharing what he knows with others. It gives him success in an area that has previously been defeating. It provides him with a tool through which to learn the value of communication.
Sign language has another significant advantage. When sign language is combined with spoken words, the signs help to cue the correct speech sounds. Children with DAS respond very well to the use of gesture cues for speech production. In the young child, sign language provides not only the gesture cues but the keys to successful communication.
Your SLP may choose to teach the child finger cues that help retrieve the manner and place of sound production rather than use signs. This has also been shown to be very successful as it assists the child in retrieving the motor plan for words. Signs can be used in conjunction with this therapy approach for frequently needed words.
Another way to help the child communicate while he is learning speech is through picture communication systems. This is especially valuable if no one in the family understands the child's spoken language. Picture boards can be set up in various places around the home to assist the child in getting his needs met. Pictures can also be used on electronic communication boards to assist the child while he is learning spoken language.
Whatever communication tool you and your therapist decide to use while the child is learning spoken language, rest assured that the child will not want to stop learning to talk. As soon as the child is able to be understood, he will want to stop using the other system. It is much easier and more flexible to use spoken language and the child will choose it above all other means of communication. The important thing for the child to know is that we value what he has to say, no matter how he says it!
Reading Recommmendations are under development!

Thank god! It sounds like the talks between the writers and studios, which resumed yesterday, are going well. Well enough at least that they're meeting again today. I'm all in favor of organized labor, and I support the writers 100%, but I really hope they can get the contract they deserve and get back to work soon and save this season of TV.
