The Story Of One Man's Journey From Canada To The Storm-Ravaged Philippines To Find His Fiancée
Houssam Hammoudi traveled across the world in search of his fiancée, Grace.
Houssam wrote on his blog that finding Grace was incredibly lucky and now she's fighting for her life:
I don't know until now how I made it out of Ormoc with her, I still cannot believe it. I realized that no matter what I could do, nothing would have prepared me for this, it was more like special forces situation. If I waited only few days, she could lose her leg. In regards to my health, I am in good health, with less stress now but my muscles hurt:)
Thank you all for everything you did for me and hope that I will not get surprises in the near future.

What does Penn Badgley have in common with a tennis ball? A lot actually.
The actor's moniker came after his father bounced a Penn tennis ball while feeling frustrated about choosing a baby name. After seeing his son's ultrasound, Papa Badgley commented how much his son looked like a tennis ball–and boom–the rest is history. Thankfully, we no longer see the resemblance.
Although he didn't grow up to become the male equivalent of Serena Williams, Penn did finish high school at just 14 and dabbles in music, like many of his Gossip Girl costars. The Baltimore-born actor packed his bags for Hollywood at 11, and landed a gig on The Young and the Restless. Behind the long locks, you may also recognize him as Scott Tucker in John Tucker Must Die.
Keeping the ball rolling, Penn continued to appear on the big screen in The Stepfather and the soccer fanatic even joined forces with Brad Pitt to champion bringing the FIFA World Cup to the United States in 2018 or 2022.
Oh, and–shh!–his guilty pleasure isn't writing novels in Brooklyn; it's watching Friends reruns.

'Minute to Win It': Apolo Anton Ohno takes over from Guy FieriAdd to Favorites | Minute to Win It
Zap2it: On Tuesday, June 25, you make your official debut as the new host of "Minute to Win It," now on GSN, shooting today on a soundstage north of Los Angeles. What made you want to make the switch from athlete to game show host?
Apolo Anton Ohno : I had watched the show before on NBC. I had seen Guy Fieri host it. Guy was good, and the show was strangely addictive to watch. The games are so simple and fun. We like watching people make money. But it's not easy. We're here almost 12 hours a day, and we do two to three shows a day. So it's pretty intense.
Zap2it: But isn't training for, and competing in, speed skating in the Olympics intense?
Apolo Anton Ohno: Yeah, but I'm not used to standing on my feet the whole time and smiling. I don't have super high energy. I'm pretty self-contained, but I genuinely want people to win money, so that helps the most.
Zap2it: Are you learning about the contestants?
Apolo Anton Ohno: You get the stories, what they're going to use the money for -- or what they say they'll use the money for -- what their relationship is to the partner who's playing, the family that's involved, why they need the money, why they want to play ... all that fun stuff.
Zap2it: As an athlete, what's your winning advice?
Apolo Anton Ohno: You just think about the process. You can't always control the outcome, but you can put yourself in the best possible position to perform well in these circumstances.

COLLEGE STATION, TEXAS -- 7 on 7 Returning To B/CS
State Tournament To Bring 15,000 Visitors To Twin Cities In 2014
What is considered to be the premier Texas summer football exhibition by many high school sports enthusiasts, the Texas 7-on-7 state tournament will be returning to Bryan-College Station in the summer of 2014.
"This is exciting on many levels – from the sports aspect to the tourist aspect to the economic aspects," said BCS CVB Vice President of Sales & Marketing Kindra Fry. "But most importantly, it feels good to say the tournament is coming 'home' to Aggieland."
The football tournament had been hosted in B/CS for 15 consecutive years on Texas A&M's campus, but in 2013 the event was moved to Round Rock due to restrictions by the NCAA and SEC with regards to high school football players participating in non-UIL events on a division 1 college campus.
However, the CVB and the College Station Parks & Recreation department, along with other prominent community members, convinced the 7-on-7 board that the tournament needed to come back to College Station in 2014. "When the tournament wasn't here last year, a lot of businesses felt the impact," said BCS CVB
President/CEO Shannon Overby. "And there was no guarantee that it would return here in 2014.
It's great to see the hard work, dedication, and enthusiasm of our sports staff and of the city pay off. The entire community is going to benefit from their efforts."
The tournament boasts 96 teams, and including players, coaches, media, and fans an estimated 15,000 people attend the three-day event. One estimate put the economic impact of the tournament to B/CS at $900,000.
The event will be hosted July 10-12, 2014 at Veteran's Park in College Station. For more info about the tournament, visit www.texas7on7.com.

12 Ways to Have a Green Holiday!
Tuesday, 06 December 2011 10:52
Though the season can get hectic, there are lots of easy ways to cut down on a typically very resource-intense time of year. Here are some of my own favorites – which not only help me feel conscientious, but can also make the season more fun! I hope you enjoy, and Happy Holidays! -- Erika
1. Unwrap gifts carefully and salvage any wrapping paper and bows to use for next year. Fold carefully and store – it's a fun surprise every year to find "new" wrapping paper in your supplies that originally came from someone else's house! For recycled gift wrap, check out The Gift Wrap Co. and Green Field Paper Co.
2. My mother always saves the holiday cards she receives, cuts off the front pictures and uses them as gift tags the next year. She uses some of these tags on family gifts over and over for years on end! They can even look much fancier than store-bought gifts tags.
3. Send beautiful, animated holiday E-cards (try Paperless Post, Jacquie Lawson, or the Nature Conservancy!) – or if this feels too impersonal, look for cards that are made of recycled paper and can be re-recycled (meaning not too many baubles and crazy decorations attached). Check out Pear Tree and Green Field Paper Co., among many others - even Amazon has a selection!
Check out the next set of tips!

In what is becoming a strange trend of late, Intel has officially lifted the lid on the Z77 chipset without a sign of the accompanying CPUs. The chipset is a key part of its next generation platform, designed to pair up with the upcoming Ivy Bridge CPUs. Despite the fact that these CPUs aren't rumoured to arrive until the end of April, you can buy the motherboards now.
Because the Z77 features Socket 1155, it is backwards compatible with Sandy Bridge processors. So from now on the Z68 chipset is effectively old hat. If you can't wait a few weeks for the expected performance bumps that will come with Ivy Bridge, then you could happily build a system with a Sandy Bridge CPU and Z77 chipset right now.
We'd heartily suggest that you don't. Even less advisable is rushing out and buying a Z77 motherboard to upgrade your Sandy Bridge system with. As much as we inherently want newer tech the moment it is available, the benefits in the Z77 just don't make it worthwhile.
This comes down to a combination of factors. Z77 brings only one new technology into the chipset, USB 3. We have lamented the lack of chipset-based USB 3 for some time, and its lack was exacerbated by the fact that for a long time only Renesas had a certified third party controller chip for the technology, one only capable of driving two ports.
But in the past six months we've seen the emergence of other players in the controller chip market, like Asmedia, which has meant more and more USB 3 ports have been appearing on motherboards.
Odds are that if you have a Sandy Bridge CPU you'll have at least two, if not more USB 3 ports on your motherboard already. Intel has slapped four USB 3 ports into its Z77 chipset, and motherboard manufacturers have added even more with third party controllers and hubs, but the vast majority of USB ports controlled by the chipset are still USB 2.
If you look beyond the tentative benefits of onboard USB 3.0 then there are few benefits to running a Sandy Bridge CPU on a Z77 motherboard. There is the same number of native SATA 6Gbps channels as there are on the Z68. The RAID controller and accompanying Smart Response SSD caching is effectively the same as the Z68.
The reality is that as Intel has brought more and more traditional chipset functions onto its CPUs, the importance of the chipset has diminished. PCI-E Generation 3.0 support is only available with a supporting controller, which happens to be built into the CPU (PCI-Gen 3 support on motherboards means that the switches and circuits between the CPU and GPU are capable of carrying the signal).
DirectX 11 support is only available with Ivy Bridge, and there is even a x4 PCI-E 3 connection on most Z77 motherboards that will only work when Ivy Bridge is used.
Wonder why we haven't seen any Thunderbolt motherboards in this first batch of retail products? Just look at this chipset diagram – the four PCI-E lanes needed for Thunderbolt are on the CPU.
The take-home message is that while the Z77 is a solid chipset, and incrementally better than what has come before, it won't shine until Ivy Bridge arrives. Unless your existing Z68/P678/H67 motherboard explodes in a warranty-voiding fashion then there is no reason to make the leap to the new chipset if you want to keep your Sandy Bridge CPU.

Georgia Tech wide receiver Demaryius Thomas will miss the combine after suffering a broken foot while training on Wednesday. His agent, Todd France, told SI.com:
There are no longterm effects from the injury and Demaryius will be 100 percent by the time OTA's begin. If surgery hastens the healing process, that is something we will consider.
It could prove to be a devestating blow to Thomas' draft stock. Having played in Paul Johnson's triple-option the past two seasons, no one really knows how Thomas will fair in a pro-style offense. Getting a chance to step out onto the field and run routes in front of scouts could have eased much of the concern surrounding his ability to transition to the NFL.
Additionally, teams won't have the ability to see Thomas run before the draft. As a big receiver (6'2″, 230 lbs) his 40-yard dash would have been one of the more anticipated events of the combine. Thomas likely would have run somewhere between 4.55 and 4.65, but on the off chance that he ran in the 4.4 range, his stock would have skyrocketed.
Its now tough to imagine Thomas coming off the board in the 1st round, as some expected he may. He could fall to the late 2nd round, at which point he could end up being one of the great steals of this year's draft.

The Keys to Career Management Effectiveness: Part I
One of the Career Resource Center's most popular programs is its half-day Executive Job Search Workshop. Designed to help executives enhance their resumes, as well as enhance networking and interviewing skills, the workshop is offered at select educational programs throughout the year. Before participants can properly develop these skills, however, the workshop teaches them the fundamentals of job searching—the keys to unlocking their career potential. This month's Career Intelligence Report reviews two effectiveness keys that can help you unlock the potential of a successful job search. Subsequent postings will explore other job search fundamentals to further help you manage your career.
Key #1: Self-Awareness
Career management begins with self-examination. Knowledge about your psychological type supplies information about how you will function in a given environment and gives you the insight you need to convince a potential employer that you are right for the job.
Knowing what you value in your current work life will allow you to narrow your search to certain types of positions. By focusing your efforts, you will make the job search process less overwhelming, and you will target positions for which you would be a qualified candidate and a good fit. Some areas to consider include your need to lead, whether you are more motivated by wealth or by intrinsic rewards, and how strongly you desire recognition. You may benefit from participating in HECRC's Personality Type Assessment or Benchmarks® Workshop, or you may find that you learn more from personal introspection. Often, it is a combination of formal programs and reflection that will tell you most about yourself.
Once you have firm grasp of what you want and why, the next step is to identify the values that prevail in prospective positions and organizations. Teamwork, loyalty, community service, and life/work balance are just a few of the issues that you should consider. Hopefully, your analysis will reveal a compatible opportunity and you can earnestly pursue the position. Self-awareness is also a great asset in the interview process. Most candidates will think they want the job, but you will have invested time and energy in learning why you want the job. Because you will understand how your needs and values match the job's requirements and environment, you will be able to distinguish yourself from other candidates.
When you apply the insight you gain through self-reflection, you make yourself a more employable product. Distinguishing yourself from others is not enough by itself to land you the job, but when combined with steps that increase your skills, knowledge, and experience, your position yourself to be more desirable than other candidates in the market. That's where the big returns can start.
Key #2: Preparation
Recently, one Executive Job Workshop participant asked Can't you be over-prepared for an interview? The question provoked some lively discussion, and ultimately some important resolution. One probably can't be over-prepared, but it is possible to be over-rehearsed. When interview answers are too smooth and too generic what often comes across is insincerity. However, proper preparation will give you the knowledge and confidence to face questions intelligently, without resorting to pre-scripted answers. This type of preparation is a multi-level, ongoing activity that will equip you for any situation.
Preparation should be part of your standard work life. Even when you are in a job that meets your needs and goals, you should still be working on strategic-level preparation. You can do this by studying the industry, market, and your own organization, staying current with trade literature, and attending monthly healthcare executive networking meetings. When you begin applying for jobs, you should start your tactical-level preparation. This includes research into the prospective company, market, and leadership team. You can learn a lot about a company through annual reports, studies, and the Internet. But probably the best sources for information are your networking contacts.
Once you are well versed in the environment you will be entering, you will begin the logistical phase of preparation. This is the time to take into consideration all of the routine events that can have you playing catch-up before even getting in the door. Prepare for traffic delays and know where you are going to park, know where the interview will take place, and know who you will be meeting with and how to pronounce their names.
It's easy to skip these steps when you have bigger things to worry about, but a small amount of time preparing can help ensure that everything goes smoothly. Preparing properly will give you the background and ability to enter the interview with confidence. Once the interview begins, just put your best foot forward and enjoy yourself.

Arts, Crafts Shows Demonstrate Why Road Tax Needed
Posted: October 25, 2012 at 3:16 a.m.
There we sat, westbound on Arkansas 340, not moving. I had an epiphany. Yes, two blown-out knees did stop me from going to arts and crafts shows for the last five years. There was something else at play, too. It was this: traffic congestion. Last weekend was perfect to get back out on the arts and crafts circuit. It didn't take much talking to convince my friend Debbie to make the trek with me.

The writer urging the passage of the highway tax unwittingly made the case for its defeat. The letter states "Letting the people who are adding to the wear and tear support repair makes sense."
That's the exact reasoning the Democrat Gazette used in calling for the defeat of the tax: "(R)oads can be paid for with fuel taxes, which can be paid by folks who use the road. Including those passing through the state." True. We don't need a sales tax to improve roads when we already have a fuel tax for that purpose.

Are you looking for tips for making quick and easy diabetic desserts? When you are managing your blood sugar or trying to avoid artificial sweeteners, it can be difficult to find something to satisfy your sweet tooth that is easy to prepare. However, finding a treat that also complements your health is easy if you have the right advice.
Frozen fruit can be sweeter than fresh fruit
It seems contradictory that frozen fruit would be sweeter, but packaging sometimes reveals that frozen fruit has added sugar. For many diabetics, this means avoiding buying frozen fruit for quick desserts like smoothies altogether. Nevertheless, if you have the time, try freezing your own fruit. Some produce, like blueberries or grapes, taste great as desserts straight from the freezer.
Yogurt desserts with low glycemic levels
When you need something sweet, sometimes your best to solution is an item that is already prepared. On the other hand, if you are able to do some planning, you can find your best defense for low-sugar diabetic deserts at the grocery store. In addition to picking up a container of plain yogurt, get a couple of sugar-free jams or fruit to mix in it. You will find it is easier to control your sugar intake this way and that the yogurt gives you extra protein.
Make your diabetic desserts nuttier
Depending on the type you buy, some nuts have a sweet taste. Eating them is like a diabetic desert in and of itself. Along these lines, there are a variety of nuts on the market today that are prepared with low-sugar dessert options. Good examples are nuts that are roasted and have a thin coating of flavoring such as cinnamon or chocolate. In most cases, there is a low-sugar or diabetic dessert option next to the full sugar selections.
Easy low-sugar pies made with tofu
If you are craving something like key lime pie and cannot find a good diabetic dessert recipe for it, try a little bit of tofu instead. Silken tofu is often added to dessert recipes and no one knows the difference. Tofu will add extra protein to your treat, but it reduces the overall amount of sugar that you will need. A good example is a tofu, peanut butter and chocolate pie. To make it, you add one package of silken tofu with melted low-sugar peanut butter and dark chocolate. While you may still be consuming a minor amount of sugar, you will get your fix for something rich, creamy, cold and chocolaty.

They may be relatively unknown, and their subject matter may be a little dry, but the eight economists who comprise the Consensus Forecasting Group have a powerful role to play: They determine just how much money state government can expect.
As anyone who has ever put a budget together knows, it can be tough to predict what a year will bring. Their job, however, is even more difficult: They have to look more than 30 months ahead, to cover not just the two-year span for the budget but also the six additional months needed to prepare, pass and implement it.
Fortunately, this group's crystal ball has proven to be fairly reliable. The fiscal year that ended June 30th, for example, was only about 0.4 percent over what had been projected, the equivalent of 40 cents out of $100.
It's important to note that the economists' forecast is mainly focused on state revenues, which go into what is known as the General Fund. Although the state gets more money from the federal government and such restricted sources as college tuition, it is the General Fund that drives the budget.
Over the last decade, our state revenues have seen both highs and lows. They went up nearly 10 percent during each of the 2005 and 2006 fiscal years, but in 2009 and 2010, they posted the first two-year decline in decades.
Earlier this spring, a joint report from the National Governors Association and the National Association of State Budget Officers found that Kentucky and many of her sister states appear to be finally turning the corner financially, although we're still below 2008 levels when adjusting for inflation.
At the time of the report, 11 states (but not Kentucky) reported that they needed to make additional mid-year cuts, but that was far better than the 39 having to do that during the height of the recession. On the other side, 16 states reported this spring they were actually increasing spending during the fiscal year, though Minnesota and Texas accounted for most of the new money.
More than 40 states, including Kentucky, have bigger budgets this fiscal year than they did last year, but many areas of ours are essentially flat-lined. The General Assembly took this approach because we will have to use the expected growth in revenue to maintain critical state services in the face of inflation and increased need.
It is worth pointing out that our budget is relying less on one-time revenue sources to pay for ongoing expenses, something known as a structural imbalance. During the 2012 fiscal year, it was the foundation for 4.6 percent of the budget, but this fiscal year, that figure is down to 1.6 percent.
When taking a closer look at the state's revenues, it becomes clear that part of the economy is doing well while other parts are struggling.
As our region unfortunately knows all too well, Kentucky lost 4,100 mining jobs when comparing the first three months of 2013 to the same period a year earlier, which was a sixth of that workforce. Manufacturing, meanwhile, went in the other direction, adding 8,000 jobs.
Businesses that help other businesses – advertisers, CPAs, attorneys – are also on the upswing, but construction has seen relatively little growth in recent years. There is hope that a steep increase in new single-family homes nationwide will help to reverse that trend, though.
The lottery is up – it provided $215 million to the state last fiscal year, with most of that going to help students attend college – and the Road Fund also increased for the fourth straight year.
Although we are just a few weeks into the second half of the two-year budget, work is already underway to be ready for the next cycle. Planning estimates will be compiled through the fall, and the official revenue estimate will be unveiled just before the holidays.
Governor Beshear will then present his administration's final budget proposal in January, and the General Assembly will vote by mid-April on whatever changes it thinks should be made. Not surprisingly, there will be a lot of competition for every new dollar. Just increasing per-pupil funding in our elementary and secondary schools by one percent, for example, will take $29 million.
The budget is always the most difficult bill the General Assembly considers during even-year legislative sessions, but with the Consensus Forecasting Group helping to light the way, my colleagues and I can at least rest assured that we will know how much we have to work with. No one can foresee the future, of course, but this group, thankfully, comes pretty close.

*Punk's music hits as he makes his way from the back with just a huge smile on his face. He climbs into the ring and takes a microphone and faces Hawk*
Punk: You think you're so clever don't you, Hawk? Well I'll play along. I'm not another guest star. I am a regular in your little TV program. I'm not the man next door. I'm not your co-worker. I'm your nemesis. I'm the guy that's going to be there every turn you make, making sure you have to go through me in every path you try to go in. I'm the guy that almost beat you at Resurrection. I'm the guy who beat four other men to become the Number One contender for the TV championship again.
The crowd pops for Punk
Punk: Yeah you might have gotten the best of me in our first encounter. I wasn't quite sure how good you are. But now I know that you have the chops to be one of the best. But I'm better. I'm going to take that TV Championship off your shoulder at In Justice For Brawl. I'm going to cancel your little program that only the immediate family of Mike Hawk care about. Sure you managed to achieve the highest moment of your career by winning the TV Championship, but I'm going to give the alternate ending to Resurrection. The one where KJ Punk walks away with the TV Championship and proclaims WINNER WINNER!!!!!!!!!!!!
KJ drops the mic as the crowd chants "CHICKEN DINNER!!!!!!" as Punk smiles at Hawk, who has had enough of KJ, drops the JBW Television Championship, and runs at him, tackling him to the floor. Hawk begins to unload on KJ but KJ manages to flip over and get on top of Hawk. He begins to throw right and left hands at Hawk but Hawk kicks out into KJ's stomach, pushing him backwards. Hawk gets to his feet and grabs Punk, throwing him between his legs, signalling for the Mayhem Driver.
He goes for the jump but KJ manages to remain on his feet and drives Hawk into the ground. Hawk, holding his back, begins to climb back to his feet. Punk runs forwards, twisting and connecting with the Rolling Elbow! Punk smiles down at the unmoving Hawk as he walks across and grabs the JBW Television Championship, lifting it up in the air infront of Hawk's TV cameras.
Patrick Riley: KJ Punk just proved his credentials for In Justice For Brawl!
Dudley Erickson: How dare he attack Mike Hawk, this man should be arrested!
Patrick Riley: Hawk attacked Punk! Punk just fought in self defence!
Dudley Erickson: Are you watching the same show as me Pat?
Patrick Riley: Yes I am, what are you insinuating?
Dudley Erickson: I'm saying that you're-
The commentary team is cut off as we head backstage where Chris Divine is shown, with the Intercontinental Championship firmly on his shoulder. He turns, looking at the camera.
Divine: So...it's official. Divine vs Van Hooligan X. 1 on 1, mano e mano. Nose to nose, the whole shebang! Vanessa has been wanting this match, well now she got it. See Van, that is the problem you have before you now. You have a challenge before you, that is like none other that you have faced. Not Artemis Eclipse, not Kyojin, not Darius, not Antonyo Angelo, not Greed, none of them. You have the Divine One, the only One, The Oh So Fine One, Chris Divine.
The fans cheer, as Divine grins.
Divine: See Van, at In Justice for Brawl, you will learn a lesson. That lesson is, don't bite off more than you can chew. See, you think that big ole savory taste in your mouth is something you want, but when you try to swallow, you'll end up choking. You know all about choking though. Now, Divine could sit here, and talk about all the times you've choked, but Divine won't. No, instead Divine is going to focus on the more important thing at hand. That being this special guest ref.
Divine lowers his glasses, looking into the camera.
Divine: Divine doesn't know who this special ref it, and Divine doesn't care. The fact remains, Divine is going into In Justice for Brawl as the champion, and Divine is going to walk out of the ppv as the champion. This special guest referee could be Ryan Wells, it could be Carlos Alberto Ramon, hell, it could even be Jman's grand mother from south jersey...and the results will be the same. Know this though...whoever it is...if they try and screw Divine out of his championship...well.Divine may have to put his hands on the ref.
Divine raises his glasses.
Divine: So Vanna White X....be prepared...because Divine is coming to In Justice for Brawl, for a fight.
We head to commercial for the final time.

Reviews for Over-the-Top Blueberry Bread Pudding
Sort By :
"So freaking delicious!!! Make sure you use a light fluffy bread. Dense bread does not work well."
"WOW! Rich and delicious! This became Blueberry, White Chocolate, Amaretto Bread Pudding. I substituted almond extract for vanilla, and made an Amaretto sauce in place of the white chocolate sauce. DIVINE!"
"This was wonderful. After reading all the reviews, I also cut the sugar in half and that was more than sweet. Next time I will cut the sugar in half again, down to 1/2 c, until I find the "just right" amount. I made half the sauce and that was just right. I used half heavy wc and half vanilla flavored almond milk. 50 min was not enough time. At 50 min I covered it and baked it for another 20 min. It came out looking just like the picture. My guests requested the recipe - the ultimate compliment."
"This is crazy good and, indeed, very sweet and very rich. Used half and half instead of heavy cream, half the sugar and skipped the sauce. Delicious!"
"So delicious. Made without the sauce as it was very sweet on its own."

West Virginia veteran health raises flags in survey
CHARLESTON, W.Va. (AP) — One in five West Virginia veterans are at risk for suicide while half show signs of post-traumatic stress disorder, depression or both, researchers told lawmakers on Tuesday.
The figures come from a recent survey of more than 1,200 state veterans, which also found higher than normal rates for obesity, diabetes and high blood pressure, West Virginia University psychology professor Joseph Scotti said. The study was commissioned by the Legislature.
The findings prompted Scotti and the survey team to recommend a comprehensive plan to provide needed mental health services to veterans. Such a plan should include a public service campaign to alert veterans to available resources, educating health care providers and working more closely with U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs facilities in the state, Scotti told the House-Senate Select Committee on Veterans' Affairs.
"The VA can't do it alone," Scotti said.
Close to 170,000 West Virginians are veterans, more than one in 10 adults, according to the latest estimate from the U.S. Census Bureau. Just 11 states have a larger segment of veterans among their residents. More than two-thirds of West Virginia's veterans are 55 or older, while around 7 percent have served since the Sept. 11 attacks, according to the estimate.
Conducted last year, the survey asked veterans about such topics as health, work, education and family. Scotti and fellow WVU professor Roy Tunick, who teaches rehabilitation counseling and counseling psychology, helped design the survey and analyze the results. Atlas Research, a service-disabled veteran owned small business, managed the project.
Scotti told lawmakers Tuesday that the findings he presented during their hour-long meeting represent just some of the data the survey yielded. A roughly equal portion of veterans across five age groups designated by the survey responded, he noted.
As expected, researchers linked the prevalence of PTSD and depression to having served in conflict areas and enduring the stress of combat.
"A significant number of these veterans are experiencing one or the other or both, with both being quite debilitating," Scotti said.
Just over half of the veterans self-reported recent episodes of poor mental health. Other troubling findings include one in 10 veterans reporting being homeless during the past year. Female veterans, who accounted for 15 percent of those surveyed, were disproportionately represented, Scotti said.
But the survey also found rates of alcohol consumption or non-prescribed drug use lower than the state average and on par with national rates. Most are married and have at least one child.
"So, we're talking about veterans who are involved with families, where whatever their situation is impacts themselves, their spouses and any children," Scotti told lawmakers.
Veterans were middle-of-the-road when asked to measure their quality of life. While older veterans tended to assign higher ratings than younger ones, Scotti said that does not necessarily mean that conditions improve for veterans as they age. Those surveyed reported rarely or infrequently losing their tempers, and rarely becoming violent, Scotti said.

Couple Who Attempted To Extort Money From Stevie Wonder Released From Prison
Alpha Walker and Tamara Diaz, the couple charged with attempting to extort $5 million from Stevie Wonder, have been released from prison after reaching a plea deal with prosecutors. The couple were arrested in May after creating 80-min video bashing the soul legend and then trying to sell it.
The pair were sentenced to 292 days in prison as well as three years of probation. They were released on time served but have been ordered to have no contact with Stevie or any of his direct associates. Walker was additionally assigned to seek mental health treatment while Diaz must undergo drug counseling.
The pair's attorney Ian Wallach released an official statement about the plea deal, saying prosecutors were struggling to prove that his clients had, in fact, attempted to commit extortion.

About us…
Help support your Meetup
Come and check out the Humanist Community in Silicon Valley!
Check out our website - http://www.humanists.org
Our main event each week is a Sunday Forum which features a different speaker each Sunday discussing a topic of interest. A wide variety of topics are covered from week to week.
A wonderful buffet lunch immediately follows the Forum (see below).
NOTE: Approximately 40 to 60 people have been recently attending the Forum each Sunday. Most of them probably don't even know that we're now listing our meetings on Meetup.com, so the number of Meetup RSVPs for our events are normally extremely low. But don't let that fool you! As was mentioned, there are normally approximately 40 to 60 people in attendance for each Forum, no matter how many Meetup RSVPs are listed for a given Meetup event.
We also have a Family Program (for parents and their children), which meets almost every Sunday between 10:45am and 12:10pm in the building right next to where the Forum is held. For more info, please visit:
We also have a Free Thought Discussion group (http://www.humanists.org/blog/free-thought-...) every Wednesday night at 7:30pm, and an Academic Video group (http://www.humanists.org/blog/academic-vide...) every Thursday night at 8pm.
We also have other events from time to time, e.g., monthly potlucks. And a Fun Group (www.humanists.org/blog/fun-group) organizes a monthly "fun" activity each month.
The Humanist Community in Silicon Valley is a member chapter of the American Humanist Association.
Our Values - Freedom, fairness and compassion, health and happiness, and using science and reason to acquire and apply knowledge.
Our Vision - Living by, and acting on, these values, for the greater good, while balancing current versus future needs and desires.
Our Mission - To support the social and intellectual needs of our members and to live by and promote our values and vision
The Forum is held every Sunday at the Student Center at the Palo Alto High School (at the corner of El Camino Real and Embarcadero Road in Palo Alto) from 11 a.m. until 12:15. The Student Center is next to the Main Quad in the center of the campus (see http://goo.gl/maps/WIWPd).
A wonderful buffet lunch is served immediately after the Forum from 12:15 until 1:30 p.m. The lunch is free for first time visitors and students. Otherwise we ask for a donation of $12. If you can't afford that, please give what you can, and please join us for lunch. We hope to see you at an upcoming Humanist Community in Silicon Valley Sunday Forum soon!
If you would like to suggest a meetup for our forum or otherwise, please send a message to the organizer (Brian).
Also, feel free to send me a message if you have any questions about the group. Thanks,

Is the p1811 code which causes intermittent rough shifting capable of damaging the transmission? Will it only get worse? My '01 Century occaisonally has this happen. Sometimes it will not act up for 2 weeks, sometimes once every few days. I've had my transmission fluid changed and the filter changed recently to see if this would help, but it hasn't. From what i've read, the pressure control solenoid needs to be changed and it's expensive and labor intensive. Any others been through this? What's a fair price top pay for this job? I hate to spend a lot of money, as the Century is my beater car. Especially since the computer resets when I turn the car off. Input please.
Also, I've read that the Transgo shift kit is supposed to help this? Any truth to this? How much for a shift kit install?

Scholars@Hallwalls Series
Two Dictionaries, One Poet, and a Mughal Prince's Struggle Against British Colonialism
In 1799, the Urdu poet Mirza Jan 'Tapish' was apprehended by the Murshidabad District Collector and charged with conspiring to overthrow East India Company rule in Bengal and Bihar, a plot that was alleged to have involved Shah Zaman of Afghanistan, the Viceroy of Muscat, and dozens of disaffected feudal landlords. Having left his home in the Mughal capital Delhi some fifteen years earlier, 'Tapish' had entered the service of the Naib Nazim of Dhaka (the capital of present-day Bangladesh), Nawab Shams al-Daulah. In 1792 'Tapish' completed the earliest manuscript version of the Shams al-Bayan fi Mustilahat al-Hindustan ('The Sun of Speech on the Idioms of Hindustan'), named for his patron and written "in explanation of the idioms of the houses of Delhi, for which are arranged many verses and the understanding of distant ones." This paper presents evidence of 'Tapish' having continued his lexicographic activities both while in custody in Calcutta and later in collaboration with British philologists. The particular generic form of the Shams al-Bayan, it is argued, was the product of the increasing professionalization and geographic dispersal of Delhi's poets. One result of this professionalized literary economy was the incorporation of new social groups into an elite literary culture and, eventually, the promotion of a language, Urdu, as an ethnic marker of political identity.

I learnt today that Geoff Blight has passed away. I can pay tribute to him best by writing of those times I worked with him. He was a professor at the University of the Witwatersrand. He came in and took over when Professor Jennings died. I never had a lecture from him, so I leave it to others to record his lecture style and teaching abilities–both of which I was told were superb.
My first encounter with him was when I was a lecturer and he was working for a consulting company in Johannesburg–I forget which. He was assigned by Professor Jennings as the "external" examiner to me in the course on soil mechanics that I taught. This involved reviewing the questions I set for the exam and reviewing my marking of papers–particularly of those students just failing. I recall his focus on the details of the examine questions: he would ask me to explain what part of the student's knowledge I was seeking to test; he would point out potentially ambiguous issues and answers; he demanded that I convince him that I myself knew the answers. When it came to evaluating my failing grade for a marginal student, he would go through the student's answers with a fine pen. He would grade it himself. He would seek to establish if the student knew more than I gave the student credit for. He was far more generous than me, and many times persuaded me to raise the grade and pass the student. I know he was correct, for many years later I have seen those "marginal" students become great engineers–they owe Geoff a silent thanks.
I left university and joined Steffen, Robertson and Kirsten (now SRK). Oskar called me in one day to tell me that the Chamber of Mines had asked us to consult on dust control from some of those old slimes dams in and around Johannesburg. He told me that Geoff had agreed to help as a specialist consultant on the project. He told me to go meet with Geoff and scope out the work.
We worked together on that project for a long time and achieved much dust suppression. His genius at simplifying a complex problem and formulating a practical engineering solution was key to our success. The first solution was to recommend that we mix cement into the upper surface of the top deck paddocks from which most dust emanated. I had conceived of windrows, silt fences, and other crazy schemes. Geoff pointed out their limited short-term efficacy, and persuaded us that only a good addition of cement would achieve anything like a longer-term efficacy. When I left South Africa some years later the dust was still under control.
Then we set about limiting erosion from the steep slopes of the slimes dams. Geoff came up with the solution that worked. Cut vertical faces and inward-inclined benches. He reasoned that vertical faces got no runoff, hence no erosion; and the inward-inclined benches would trap the water and sediment. This was so contrary to common practice that we had a hard time persuading the "experts." But we did persuade them; we made the cuts, and as far as I know they worked until the slimes dams were removed to be reworked to retrieve more gold.
Geoff insisted on us building sediment dams–something I had never heard of in my formal education. There was little room for the dam structures. He told me of geotextiles, again something new to me. He sketched a simple dam structure made of geotextiles: a rising series of geotextile bags filled with sand, each successive bag a little smaller than the one it rested on. That was my first geosynthetics in mining design, and I am still proud of those dams we designed and built. I am sure I am the only engineer that ever saw them completed, for they are hidden deep in trash-filled ravines, gullies, and depressions amongst fragrant eucalyptus trees.
I moved to Tucson to design a tailings dam for the Mt. Tolman project in northeast Washington. I bragged to Andy Robertson of the 1,000-ft high structure I conceived of–it would have been a 300-ft high toe of dumped waste rock and then would rise another 700 ft via an embankment of compacted cyclone underflow sand. Andy got a fright, called Geoff, and persuaded him to come to Tucson to help me with the design.
For two glorious weeks I worked with Geoff as he questioned my every data, assumption, calculation, layout detail, and idea. Then one hot Tucson evening, about eight, we went for a run–both of could run then–how fast the strong legs of youth go. As we returned to the offices where Robertson Pincock was housed, we saw Andy standing despondent outside. Andy called us into the foyer and told us that Kay Pincock had sold the company to Harry Winters and that Harry had closed down Robertson Pincock, and that our jobs no longer existed.
I was out of work. Geoff caught a plane back to South Africa a day or two later. The mine never opened and the dam was never built. But I learnt a lot during those two weeks with Geoff.
We never worked together again. I continued to meet him at the occasional conference, read everything he wrote, and dream of the days past.
He was a great person, an inspired engineer, and (I am sure) a great teacher. His writings will survive him and stand as a testament to his kindness and genius.

National support for New Jersey Governor Chris Christie (R) has completely crumbled from its previous lofty heights. Before the bridge scandal he was both the clear leader in the Republican primary and more importantly the only Republicans that polled as having a real chance of beating Hillary Clinton. That is now all gone.
Back in December the CNN/ORC poll found Christie was beating Clinton in a theoretical match up 48 percent to 46 percent. He was the only Republican that really stood out as a strong general election candidate doing more than ten points better than all other possible Republican nominees.
Now Clinton has an incredible 16 point lead over the governor. Clinton is at 55 percent support while Christie is at only 39 percent. In the general election Christie now performs about the same or slightly worse than all the other possible 2016 candidates.
Christie has also lost his lead in the Republican primary. Mike Huckabee now leads with 14 percent, followed by by Paul Ryan with 13 percent. Christie is tied for third with Jeb Bush at 10 percent.

Hydropower is the leading source of electricity in Canada, at more than 70% of overall generation. Due to the fact hydropower has some of the lowest life-cycle greenhouse gas emissions and produces no air pollution, it allows Canada to boast an electricity system that´s among the cleanest and most renewable in the world. Canada is also the world´s third-largest hydropower producer, with only China and Brazil generating more.
As new renewable energy options work toward sustained commercial viability, Canadian hydropower can provide a solid base on which success can be built. The top five hydropower producing provinces of Canada are Quebec, British Columbia, Manitoba, Ontario, and Newfoundland and Labrador. The hydropower sector of the country is mainly supported by financial incentives

Advances in experimental technologies may soon allow the imaging of cells at the angstrom scale with subsecond resolution. The measurement of forces and motions of nanomachines and the study of the assembly of complex functional structures have also been dramatically advanced. Further development of single-molecule imaging technologies, electron microscopy, and X-ray and neutron scattering will be very important.
Theory and computation have a rich and proud history in the physical and engineering sciences. A grand success of theory in the life sciences was the determination of the structure of DNA, which emerged from the confluence of theory, computation (wooden models), and diffraction experiments. Today, theory and computation are slowly emerging as an important complement to experimentation in many areas of the biological sciences. However, for theory and computation to become full partners with experiment, significant advances are needed. Such advances would include ways to sample configuration space and dynamic rare events, efficient algorithms for stochastic simulation of spatially resolved cooperative dynamic events, and the creation of a fundamental theory of systems far from equilibrium.
Researchers have achieved great mastery over small-molecule organic synthesis and characterization. However, at the macromolecular scale, researchers have not gained a corresponding level of synthetic control. Fully characterizing the structure of multifaceted three-dimensional architectures is also currently problematic, yet the solution is of the utmost importance for accurately mapping structure to function. At the most fundamental and essential level, materials researchers must acquire the ability to synthesize, modify, and manipulate novel macromolecules with atomic-level control.

In L.A.'s hottest neighborhoods, half a million dollars won't buy you much. This tiny home, just 480 square feet, recently hit the market in the Los Feliz neighborhood with a price tag of $449,000.
That will get you one bedroom, one bathroom, a small galley kitchen, a living room and an office, as well as a stone-covered front yard. Central air is not included.
"Price-wise, it really stands alone, because the only direct competition at this price-point are condos," said Tracy Do, the home's listing agent.
The owners have made the most of their limited space, adding a picnic table and seating lounge to the front yard, which is gated with a rustic wooden fence. The minimalist interior and natural light flooding in from the windows keep the home looking spacious, despite its tight quarters. The earthy green tones of the 1920 California bungalow and kitschy memorabilia inside perfectly match the atmosphere of the neighborhood.
But it's not just the house you're paying $935 per square foot to get; it's the location.
"There's a clear trend in the growing interest that people have in living with less, in smaller-footprint homes that are more accessible to work, play and public transit," Do said.
