Without Brandon Jennings, who are these Bucks?
Category: Bucks Player Features
Soon, we'll all have a much better idea about what Brandon Jennings means to the Milwaukee Bucks.
He was equal parts electrifying and enigmatic as a rookie. He seemed to have meant a great deal to the Bucks success and playoff appearance, but some questioned whether the team was winning in part because of his point guard work, or in spite of it. His shooting percentages plummeted further and further last season, with occasional peaks amongst the many valleys, just enough that there was always hope another peak would be around the next corner. Defensively he held his own, rarely gambling in a system that requires discipline. Jennings was everything anyone could ever hope for from a 20-year-old rookie point guard.
He's been even better this season. Jennings has smoothed over some of the rougher edges of his game. He's made a higher percentage of his shots at the rim, kept his turnovers down, boosted his shooting percentage and continued to defend his position fairly well But the successes of last season are a distant memory. Milwaukee's been stuck in a rut since the beginning of the season and only recently seemed to have found a way out in well played games against Dallas and San Antonio. Jennings was instrumental in a victory at Dallas, as he's often been in Bucks wins, and helped key a fourth quarter run in San Antonio with improved pick and roll play.
But now he's gone. Out four-to-six weeks, Jennings can only watch from the sidelines as his teammates move on without him.
If Monday night was any indication, it won't be much worth watching. Generally ball dominant, Jennings was using 26.2% of the Bucks possessions heading into Monday night. In his absence, his teammates general lack of ability with the ball in their hands was on display. Early on in Portland, the Blazers doubled Andrew Bogut off the ball when the Bucks looked to find him for post-ups inside. When Portland had built a comfortable lead and finally let Bogut catch inside, he was unable to do much with his catches. He made just two of seven shots on the evening on his way to a miserable five point, four rebound effort against a depleted Portland front line.
With Bogut struggling, Milwaukee was left with few other options. Earl Boykins was the recipient of open looks off ball swings a number of times and responded with one jumper off the front of the rim after the next, eventually finishing the evening two of 11 from the field. Chris Douglas-Roberts had his worst game as a starter, looking out of sync the entire evening while hitting just one of seven shots. It didn't help that John Salmons failed to connect on a shot until Portland's lead had ballooned to 26 points. He would eventually respond strongly with 23 second half points, but Milwaukee cannot function with just one perimeter player scoring and Bogut no-showing. Milwaukee looked like a team that sorely needed Jennings two strengths on offense: creation and floor spacing.
With Bogut still on the court and healthy, Jennings' loss didn't seem like a death knell for the Bucks. But Monday night's Bogut wasn't the Bogut that's been dominating lately. It's difficult to question Bogut as the Bucks best and typically most consistent player, but his struggles against Portland were alarming. How much did his success correlate with Jennings being on the court?
The waterbug point guard didn't always find Bogut on the pick and roll or drop it off to him on drives to the hoop, but he, more than any other Buck, needed to be accounted for by the defense when sharing the court with the big man. Now that Milwaukee has one less player that requires serious attention, how much more defensive attention will Bogut attract? Bogut and Jennings have played together for 592:29 minutes this season and Milwaukee is +16 in those minutes. No other player has played as many minutes with Andrew Bogut and only Ersan Ilyasova has had a better plus/minus on the court with Bogut. A healthy Jennings allowed the Bucks to be Andrew Bogut's team and for Bogut to thrive.
If Milwaukee cannot find anyone to temporarily fill Jennings role as creator and attention getter and Bogut is unable to operate freely, Jennings absence could prove to be the final hole in the sinking Bucks boat that failed to leave the dock this season.

Jennings is a good piece for a winning team. I think the bucks need to model their team blueprint after the Thunder and build up draft picks.

Daher-Socata Delivered 38 TBM 850s in 2012
Daher-Socata delivered 38 TBM 850s last year, representing the fourth best year for the company's TBM aircraft line since 1990. The 2012 deliveries bring the number of TBMs–including the 700, 800 and 850 models–to 622 aircraft, of which 298 are TBM 850s. Citing the GAMA year-end shipment and billings figures released on Tuesday, Daher-Socata said the TBM 850 had an 18-percent share of its market segment. The majority–66 percent–of TBM 850s delivered last year went to U.S. customers.

A Buckhead business owner who sold the winning Mega Millions ticket worth millions isn't in line to receive a cash bonus.
While the owner of the California store where the winning lottery ticket was sold will receive $1 million, Young Soo Lee, the owner of the Gateway Newsstand that sold the ticket to Ira Curry, will have to settle for publicity generated and the standard 6 percent commission all retail outlets received on each lottery ticket sold."Although they do not get a cashing bonus, or a selling bonus, for the ticket, we think that just the value of being a lucky store will drive additional traffic into the retail," said Georgia Lottery CEO Debbie Alford.The Georgia Lottery said more than $42 million of tickets were sold during the latest jackpot, which lasted more than two months. That generated more than $17 million for the state's HOPE scholarship and pre-K programs.

St. Martin's Paperbacks
Rainshadow Road
Lisa Kleypas
Lucy Marinn is a glass artist living in Friday Harbor, Washington, with a boyfriend, Kevin, who she believes is her soul mate. She has always had a magical side—a gift that finds its way into the glasswork she creates—and she struggles to keep it contained. But when Lucy is blindsided by the most bitter kind of betrayal, she questions many of her choices. Kevin leaves her and his new lover is none other than Lucy's own sister.
Meanwhile, facing the severe disapproval of Lucy's family, Kevin asks his friend Sam Nolan, a local vineyard owner on San Juan Island, to "romance" Lucy so that she can more easily move on. But when Sam and Lucy begin to feel real sparks between them, Lucy must ask herself if she can easily risk her heart again. Questions about love, loyalty, old patterns, mistakes, and new beginnings are explored as Lucy learns that some things in life—even after being broken—can be re-made into something beautiful. And that it is only by discovering who you really are that you can find the one who truly deserves you.
Questions about love, loyalty, old patterns, mistakes, and new beginnings are explored as main character, Lucy learns that some things in life—even after being broken—can be made into something new and beautiful.

FAQ - About us
FAQ - Carbon offsets
For investors
Everything we do in modern life entails a carbon footprint, and this carries a high cost to our environment.
Our carbon footprint is responsible for global warming, and if it is not drastically cut our planets warming will escalate and become irreversible.
Our enormous carbon footprint has become the characteristic of modern times and it is not a model of sustainability.
Much of our carbon footprint is avoidable. Cutting down unnecessary consumption is one way to do this; using greener choices such as public transport, low-energy bulbs and minimising the consumption of transport-intensive goods will also contribute to reduce your carbon footprint.
It is even possible for an individual or a business to achieve a zero carbon footprint. We do not need to give up modern life to achieve this. We can rely on improved technologies to help us produce greener electricity and a low-carbon economy. By recycling and through sensible choices in our consumption we can minimise our footprint.
What remains of it can be completely cancelled out through carbon offsets.
The average person in the UK emits about 11 tonnes of CO2 in a year. It takes roughly about 11 fast-growing trees at tropical latitudes over a trees lifetime of about 40-50 years to offset that amount of carbon. Given that the UK population is 60.9 million (as of 2008), one would need to plant about 670 million such trees every year to make the UK a zero carbon footprint country.
Tree planting in such a vast scale would bring wonderful benefits to the global environment, in addition to completely eliminating our carbon footprint.

In the past year the price of carbon credits has tumbled to unprecedented low levels, making it uneconomical for project originators to fund new clean energy projects, given particularly in small-scale projects the cost of verification and issuance of carbon credits can exceed the sale price.

Several families have been displaced after an apartment fire near Fullerton and Lawton on Detroit's west side.Fire crews say a vacant house next door caught fire around midnight Tuesday night and spread to the apartment building. "My backyard was lit up whole 'nother color than it usually be. Where was the fire? That's all I wanted to know," Shanieta Brocks remembers. Barbara Norris lives in the basement and says usually the downstairs door gets stuck, but luckily this time it wasn't.Norris and dozens of families waited on a bus to fend off the below-freezing temperatures and, because of low water pressure, it took more than two hours for firefighters to put out the fire. Salvation Army and Red Cross also came and assisted the residents while they waited and watch their building burn. "Whatever they needed, you know, to try and keep them comfortable while they're waiting to figure out what's going to happen with them tonight," says Chuck McDougall from Salvation Army. Investigators are calling the fire suspicious, but not yet calling it arson. They are investigating if a squatter or homeless person possibly set the fire at the vacant home and it spread, or if someone with a vendetta purposely set it.Sources say a police report was filed two weeks ago in which someone accused the landlords of holding fraudulent deeds and titles, and then threatened to burn the apartment building to the ground. Investigators aren't ruling out the possibility of a connection in these two situations, but are still questioning why, then, would the fire have started next door. "They say they are going to tear the whole building down due to roof damage and the side of building damage. They don't think it'd be a good idea if we stay here," Brocks says. She agrees but, like so many others right now, has nowhere else to go and will be forced to stay and live in that broken, burned down building until her family finds another place to live.

This guidance has been replaced by CG113 Anxiety
Amendment of recommendations concerning venlafaxine: April 2007
On 31 May 2006 the MHRA issued revised prescribing advice for venlafaxine. This amendment brings the guideline into line with the new advice but does not cover other areas where new evidence may be available. NICE expects to make a decision on a full update later in 2007.
The amendments to the recommendations to take account of the revised prescribing advice for venlafaxine were developed by the National Collaborating Centre for Mental Health.

A minor in international studies also is offered. This minor is organized under
the assumption that there is a core to the study of international studies that transcends
work in a particular geographic area of emphasis. Thus, this minor emphasizes core
courses with more general content in theory and methodology, rather than geographic
area courses with more specific content. As such, it represents a minor in international
studies without a formal designation of concentration in a geographic area.
The minor in international studies emphasizes a core of knowledge and allows for
breadth in a choice of electives. The minor requires 18 hours of coursework, including
INST 261, 321, ECON 201 or 203, and three additional elective courses from the
concentrations within the International
Studies Major.

(RNN) - Mississippi State (7-2) will face Florida Gulf Coast, the team that became America's Darling in last year's NCAA Tournament, on Thursday at Humphrey Coliseum. The game will be broadcast on CSS and ESPN3.
Dre Applewhite logged a double-double as the Bulldogs raced past Florida A&M in their last outing, leading buzzer-to-buzzer and winning 78-65. The freshman guard scored 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
MSU hit 33 of 45 free throws against the Rattlers and only made 12 turnovers.
Florida Gulf Coast, which made the Sweet 16 last year, is 5-5 so far and has struggled to a 1-4 record on the road.
The Eagles are coming off a controversial 68-66 double-OT loss at South Florida. They thought they'd tied the game when Chase Fieler canned a shot after catching a perfect length-of-the-court pass with 0.3 left in the second overtime. The ball appeared to drop through the net before the red lights went off, but officials ruled he could not have made the shot in the three-tenths of a second after it hit his hands.
Bernard Thompson leads the Eagles scoring with 15.9 points per game; Brett Comer averages 14.1 and Fieler 13.7.

WAUSAU, Wis. (WSAU) -- The City of Wausau and several other partnering municipalities have made the next step in implementing the new animal control program. What began as "Mary's Law" to cut down on animal control problems is going to be a functioning program in less than two weeks.
First of all, Wausau's City Council voted Tuesday to allocate certain forfeitures collected by the city to the Animal Control Fund. That totals $118,450.
Second, Human Resources Director Michael Loy says a staffing decision has been made. "We just hired an animal control officer that's going to be starting July 22nd, and we're really happy to have her here and get that program kicked off and started."
The city hired Wausau resident Ashley Bishop as the Animal Control Officer, and she Loy says like other city officers, Bishop has been through a very thorough background check.
Loy says they will get Bishop acquainted with people in Wausau, Weston, and about a dozen other municipalities contracting for animal control services. They will also get her some help. "The plan is to supplement her position with two paid part-time CSO (Community Service Officers) that will help in animal control efforts with the city of Wausau, and all of the other municipalities that we work with on animal control."
Loy says a specific date has not been determined for adding the part-time community service officers to assist animal control efforts.

The Oklahoma Department of Transportation crews are responding to slick or snow covered areas, following Saturday's icy winter weather.
Cherokee, Muskogee and McIntosh counties have reported snow covered roadways and slicks spots on highways in Wagoner and Okmulgee counties.
Drivers should remain alert and cautious of black ice conditions on roadways.
ODOT asks motorists to:
· Check road conditions before getting out on the roads. · Stay at least 200 feet behind road-clearing equipment; crews need room to maneuver and can engage plowing or spreading materials without notice. · Allow extra space between vehicles, so there is adequate distance for braking in wet and icy conditions. · Be aware of "black ice," which looks wet on the roadway, but is actually a thin layer of ice. · Please be patient, plan trips ahead and allow extra time to reach destinations.
Before hitting the road, call the Department of Public Safety's road conditions hotline at 888-425-2385.

I Don't Have Time to Be a 'Perfect' Mom
I'm way better than I used to be -- both cancer and having a baby will do that to a person -- but the truth is that sometimes my "I Don't Give A F*ck" doesn't work so well.
For as long as I can remember, I've been concerned about what others might think of me, at least to some degree. I can remember comparing myself to others as early as the second grade ... noticing that other girls were prettier or more popular or had nicer clothes.
What I'd like to know is, how does this start, and how can I keep my daughter from feeling the need to compare herself to others? Or are we girls just genetically hardwired to care about what others think of us?
My parents never compared me to anyone else, or pointed out that anyone else was in any way superior to me. They never said, "Why can't you be more like so-and-so?" So, it likely didn't come from them.
More from The Stir: Moms May Be Dumber After Having Kids -- But Here's How to Fix It (VIDEO)
As I said, having a baby will chip away a large chunk of the desire to appear perfect. No one I know has the time or energy for that. Yet I still, even when going through chemotherapy, was cognizant of making sure my child was dressed in a cute outfit for daycare. And I experienced a twinge (but only a twinge ... then it passed) of anxiety about whether I'd be judged if I brought store-bought snacks to a school carnival. (I certainly didn't go as far as this mom, but it wouldn't be that far-fetched for me.) I recognize that this is something I'll have to keep in check, this desire to appear like a perfectly organized mom. In reality, I'm not. In reality, I'm just doing the best I can.
There's something very freeing about confessing things like this to other moms. About saying that you don't have time to make your child's baby food (and that that awesome gourmet Baby Food Maker from La Sur La Table is still sitting in the box). About confessing that sometimes the most you or your child get is a sponge bath, or that sometimes you put your child to bed an hour earlier than her bedtime.
The same goes for going through cancer treatment. Now, I wasn't one to try to hide the fact that I had cancer. I shunned wigs and hats and walked around proudly with a bald head and face. You want to look at me funny because I'm a bald chick? Well, I've got cancer, buddy, so kiss my ass!
That being said, I still tried to put on a happy face going into treatment each time. I was upbeat and positive to the nurses and other patients. I put on lip gloss and resisted the urge to wear my pajamas into the cancer center. I liked being told that I looked healthy or that I seemed to be doing well. I wanted to be a motivator for others going through the same thing. But, boy, did it feel good to commiserate with others who were also going through treatment. To bitch about side effects and port-o-caths and chemo brain, among many, many other things.
What I've found is that each time I get real with someone, I win. Either I put off some uptight person who will never "get" me anyway, or I bond more closely with someone who turns out to be a kindred spirit. I have amazing female friends, one of whom reminds me regularly to "stop giving a fuck" when she sees me getting all angsty about something.
We all need those people in our lives who will lovingly remind us to stop caring so much about what others think. Who will let us know that not only is it safe for us to be totally ourselves in their presence, but that they wouldn't have it any other way.
My challenge will be to make sure that my daughter doesn't see me stressing over how I appear to others, that she never sees me pretending to be someone I'm not. That she is always encouraged to be who she is and to be real and to not change or stifle herself to please others.
I think that's the challenge for most of us people-pleasing females. To try not to give a fuck what others think. But when we do stop trying to control perceptions, when we get real, the rewards are great.
Try it and see. What do you have to lose?

I think it's hard to not want to keep in touch with what society calls fashionable. Especially as a woman. We are constantly under pressure to be fresh faced, carefree, amazing lovers, have nice bodies and to be perfect moms. I know that, living in Jersey, I am constantly under pressure to have both myself and my kids in expensive name brand items. It seems that society places your worth on what you wear and drive and own. I am always battling between what is realistic and what is expected. Do I need that $300 pair of shoes when I can get a decent replica from Payless? Do I need that new Michael Kors bag that I love so much for $600 when I can get an equally nice one, without the name, from Target? Same thing goes for my kids. I would rather shop at The Children's Place and Old Navy for them because the clothes are comfortable, affordable and last awhile. I am starting to let go of what society dictates I should buy and want. It's difficult sometimes, but its necessary so I can live a life worth enjoying. I can't enjoy doing things with my kids, like going to the beach or the zoo, if I can't afford to do them after buying crazy things. Quality isn't defined by a name. And I don't want my kids to grow up thinking that the price tag will determine their popularity.

KadyNovember 14, 2012 at 10:26 AMOne part of being real is also understanding the things that do make you anxious and how you deal with it. Your daughter will have her own anxieties at some point. It might actually be beneficial for her to know that you struggle with your own and that you aren't perfect. The need to fold under peer pressure doesn't start as an adult. Understanding that you have to fight against it may help make her stronger and more capable of fighting it off as well.

Fonda HancockNovember 14, 2012 at 11:42 AMI taught 5th grade while I was going through chemo, and for a while I wore hats. I thought my baldness would freak out the kids. One day, I just got so hot, (ah yes, chemo induced rapid menopause!) I ripped it off. There was an sharp intake of breath around the room...and I said, "Look, you guys, I told you about this." One of boys said brightly, "It looks great..you looks like a super-friendly alien!" Laughter and hugs all round and no more hats. Some of the "adults" were not so accepting..but isn't that always the case. You are very inspiring and I always look to Dara's post to keep me updated of your journey.

Edited by Edward Erwin. New York, Routledge, 2002, 641 pp., $165.00.
This very large, attractive, nicely printed and bound, one-volume encyclopedia contains an odd mélange of essays on a whole variety of issues and people, all of which the editor felt were connected in one way or another with Freud and the history of psychoanalysis. Some of the essays are long and difficult while others are sketchy, but most are written by recognizable authorities in the field. Certainly the editor is to be congratulated on being able to collect such a large number of essays from so many different authors and on so many topics.
The immediate question that arises on looking through the book is about the book's intended readership. Candidates in psychoanalysis and those psychoanalysts who desire refresher material are probably best advised to look in the standard American Psychoanalytic Association text edited by Moore and Fine (1). Practicing psychiatrists and psychotherapists would probably want to look first at my Dictionary for Psychotherapists (2), which addresses many of the topics covered in this encyclopedia but in a shorter form. On the other hand, there are some aspects of this encyclopedia that will be of great value for both dynamic psychiatrists and psychoanalysts because they are so well collected in this volume and not easily available in one place elsewhere.
Probably most important are a series of excellent biographical sketches of a whole variety of individuals who were important in the origin and development of psychoanalysis from the time of Freud to the present day. It is nice, for example, to find biographies of Baginsky, Brentano, Groddeck, and Herbart along with the usual crowd of pioneers and accepted experts in the field of psychoanalysis all covered in one volume. These biographical entries alone make the encyclopedia a worthwhile addition to one's library. Curiously, although some relatively minor figures are included, biographies of some of the heavy hitters such as Loewald, Winnicott, Kristeva, and Kohut are not to be found. A related category of useful essays in the encyclopedia covers the views of certain psychoanalytic pioneers, such as the essay on Melanie Klein written by the authority on Kleinian theory, Hannah Segal. There are similar articles on the views of Lacan, Kohut, and others.
The second interesting and unusual aspect of this encyclopedia is represented by a series of articles on psychoanalysis in a variety of countries and places such as Africa, Venezuela, Korea, the Philippines, and many others, with the very curious exception of Israel. Another worthwhile aspect of the encyclopedia is the relatively brief and authoritative articles about each of Freud's famous case histories; these will be of value to the student and practitioner alike.
There is, however, a lack of conceptual clarity in the encyclopedia as a whole, and this is a little surprising because the editor of the encyclopedia is a professor of philosophy at the University of Miami at Coral Gables. There are several types of articles in the same genre, which indicate that either instructions were not made specific to the 200 contributors or the contributors did not pay attention to the instructions and the editor did not monitor their contributions. For example, some contributions are simply statements of the authors' points of view. Some contributions cover Freud's point of view briefly and then go on to state the author's point of view. Some contributions cover Freud's views more extensively and then go on to offer information on what has developed in the field on that topic since the time of Freud. Some contributions cover only the views of Freud in a rather scholarly manner, focusing exclusively on what Freud had to say. There is a nice index in the book, and the references to Freud's writings are mercifully to be found in the Standard Edition.
I read through the entire encyclopedia before attempting to write this book review. The overall impression is that it is not hard to read and contains a lot of little pearls of information, but, perhaps because it is assembled by a philosophy professor, the book does not really have the "feel" of psychoanalysis as a clinical science. The articles are more or less abstract without much in the way of clinical illustrations; so the book comes across like a piano rendition of a Bruckner or Mahler symphony. The editor, who contributed nine entries, has picked topics on which he could express skepticism, to say the least, about psychoanalysis as a whole. He is concerned about the meaning of "truth" and questions of validity that are hopelessly tangled up in today's philosophical debates but are not of much use to the practitioner. Erwin's article "Castration Complex" is a good illustration of his skepticism. He worries about the basis for the claims about the castration complex, which leads him to worry about "more general epistemological issues of the justification of psychoanalytic interpretations of clinical phenomena" (p. 67). Comparison of his article with that on the same topic in Moore and Fine (1, pp. 35–36) will give the reader an excellent way to assess this encyclopedia.
I propose now to comment briefly on some of the entries that I found representative as I read along in order to provide some idea of the general scope of this encyclopedia. In his preface, Erwin asks, "Exactly which parts of Freudian theory are at least approximately true and which are not? On this issue, scholars are still deeply divided" (p. xiii). The problem with this opening orientation is that psychoanalysis developed in the clinical consulting room and from the crucible of working with emotionally disturbed individuals; as such it is not really the province of scholars but of those psychiatrists and psychoanalysts who are attempting to struggle with mentally ill patients on a day to day and year to year basis. In this sense, psychoanalysis cannot be approached as one might approach a problem in philosophy—the "theory of knowledge" or the "meaning of Being," for instance. Divorced from the struggle in the clinical consulting room, psychoanalysis cannot be understood.
By far one of the longest and my least favorite article in the encyclopedia is by Grünbaum, who is also one of the members of the advisory board of the encyclopedia. As Grünbaum has indicated many times in many places, he has no use for psychoanalysis at all and thinks it is going to disappear. This is probably the most polemical and unbalanced article in the encyclopedia, and there is nothing in it that is new or different.
The brief biographical article on Adler by Hoffman is unusually informative and nicely balanced, an attempt to give a fair presentation about a very controversial figure. The essay "Africa, and Psychoanalysis" by Peltzer and Reichmayr introduces the interesting concept of "ethnopsychoanalytic observations" and reviews what these observations have revealed in West Africa.
A good way to evaluate the quality of the articles on psychoanalysis in different geographic locations is to compare Cesio's article "Argentina, and Psychoanalysis," which consists essentially of a listing of dates and people, with the outstanding discussion "France, and Psychoanalysis" by Roudinesco, a well-known authority who generously gives some background as to what the practices and beliefs were and are in the development of psychoanalysis in France.
The essay "Cinema, and Psychoanalysis" by Casebier says very little about Freud and discusses the views of Althusser and Lacan and the use of psychoanalytic theory to explain different aspects of the characters in movies. In my opinion, Althusser, a dedicated Marxist, has been long since discarded, and devoting about half the article to Lacan produces an unbalanced picture. It would have been valuable to have Glen Gabbard as an additional authority on this topic.
Gross and Rubin present a considerably longer essay, "Clinical Theory." Unfortunately, this is still extremely condensed and covers a great many topics and aspects that I fear will leave the reader confused. It does stay mostly with an attempt to investigate the views of Freud, in contrast to "Conflicts, Theory Of" by Cooper, which covers Freud's views and then goes on to discuss what Cooper calls "post-Freudian conceptualizations of conflict" (p. 104). This, as well as "Post-Freudian Psychoanalytic Views on Crime" by Cordess (p. 115), is again extremely condensed and makes one wonder what were the instructions given to the contributors.
Palombo's article on dreams first presents Freud's theory and then tells us how Palombo would modify Freud's theory of dream construction "to bring it up to date" (p. 158). Palombo's theory may or may not be correct, but it certainly does not represent a settled issue and contains a number of statements that would be highly controversial. Contrast this, as well as the entry "Envy" by Bänninger-Huber and Widmer, which after a nod to Freud essentially gives their view of envy, with the article on "Drive Theory" by Weinberger and Stein. The latter gives an excellent summary of Freudian drive theory, to say the least a very controversial topic these days, without much discussion of the current controversy or the authors' point of view. I was surprised that the "Envy" article makes no mention of Melanie Klein, who of course wrote extensively on that topic.
In reading through the book there is inevitable repetition and redundancy; for example, it is hard to justify the presence of a brief article on "Ego" by Lasky followed by an article on "Ego Psychology" by Meyer and Bauer. These could easily be combined. We are of course given thumbnail sketches of the biography of Freud and the various developments of his theories in several articles, but I do not see how that could have been avoided.
The essay "Fantasy (Phantasy)" by Esterson offers some clinical material but is divided into two parts: Freud's views and then "critical appraisal" (p. 190). Here again one wonders what the contributors have been told, because many of the essays do not contain critical appraisals, which (unlike that of Grünbaum) are respectful, careful attempts to make clear what is valuable and what is somewhat obsolete in Freudian theory.
"Freud, Sigmund (1856–1939)" by Rudnytsky is an outstanding article offering a summary of Freud's life and work in a few pages. It is sandwiched in between an all-too-brief essay on Anna Freud by her well-known biographer Young-Bruehl, and what strikes me as a redundant essay on "Freud's Family" by Roazen. The latter could have been included in the Freud article. What in some ways I consider the model article for such an encyclopedia, a format that I might have insisted on from everybody if I were the editor, is "Homosexuality, Psychoanalytic Theory of" by Socarides. Although his views are not universally accepted, he wrote the article in as balanced a fashion as one could ask and stays completely with the contributions of Freud on this extremely controversial topic, concluding, "It is beyond the scope of this article to describe later psychoanalytic developments in the understanding of the origin of homosexuality" (p. 261). Another of the model articles in the encyclopedia is "Structural Theory" by Compton. It deals quite competently with a very complex topic and focuses on the views of Freud.
The contribution "Interpretation" by the well-known author Donald Spence represents what I would consider the best skeptical article in the book, setting the stage for an understanding of the endless controversy that is going on today about the importance and role of interpretation in the psychoanalytic process.
The format of "Italy, and Psychoanalysis," by Di Chiara, lies between the articles on Argentina and on France. It ends with a very curious lack of information. We are informed that there are now two societies in Italy, but we are not told why there are two societies and what their differences are. After a presentation I gave in Italy last year at the joint meeting of the American Academy of Psychoanalysis and the Organizzazione di Psicoanalisti Italiani Federazione e Registro I was able to verify that the difference is similar to the difference between the American Psychoanalytic Association and the more liberal American Academy of Psychoanalysis. In reply to my e-mail, Dr. Marco Bacciagaluppi wrote,
You are quite right. OPIFER (Organizzazione di Psicoanalisti Italiani Federazione e Registro)—of which I am Founding and Past President—was founded in 1996, as an open-minded and pluralistic psychoanalytic association and as an alternative to the much older and traditional SPI (Societá Psicoanalitica Italiana). Our model was explicitly the American Academy, as an alternative to the American Psychoanalytic Association.
I was disappointed that there was no discussion of this and the controversies involved in the encyclopedia article.
Bergmann's biography of Kris contains a clinical pearl that is not from Kris but from Bergmann: "In 1993, I pointed out that while neither analyst nor analysand can will the good hour, analysts by pursuing their own interests and not giving their analysands the necessary space for exploration can derail the formation of many good hours" (p. 314). One of the most surprising articles in the encyclopedia is "Metapsychology" by Holt. He states,
Despite its prestige and familiarity, despite its appearance of being a serious intellectual achievement, Freud's metapsychology is scientifically trivial and useless. It merely supplies a jargon in which observations may be restated in impressive sounding terms that actually add nothing to the original clinical formulations. (p. 341)
This may or may not be true, but it would require a volume in itself to debate it. I found this kind of definitive pronouncement disappointing, especially since other articles by Holt have been extremely insightful about some of the tensions present in Freud's personality and writings. In contrast to this, a valuable short entry that I wish would be read by everyone in the field of mental health is "Morality, and Psychoanalysis," by Wallwork. In reviewing Freud's approach to this topic, Wallwork points out, "Psychoanalysis fosters genuine morality insofar as it frees the patient's autonomy, honesty, and capacities for respect and care for others from debilitating constraints of intrapsychic conflict" (p. 349). Wallwork says that it is because of this Freud can write in one of his letters that psychoanalytic treatment aims to bring about the highest ethical and intellectual development of the individual.
The brief articles "Reaction Formation" by MacGregor and Davidson, "Reception of Freud's Ideas" by Kurzweil, and "Religion, and Psychoanalysis" by Meissner are typical of some of the little gems scattered throughout this encyclopedia that probably can be discovered only if one reads through the whole book (who would think of looking up the topic "Reception of Freud's Ideas"?). On the other hand, I found "Schizophrenia" by Karon and Teixeira to be all too brief. It would probably be misleading to students who are not aware of all the genetic, biological, and neuropathological discoveries that would have to affect the thinking of any psychoanalyst working with schizophrenic patients. Remarkably, it says very little about Freud's technical views on the topic. This should have been a major essay in the encyclopedia.
The essay "Scientific Tests of Freud's Theories and Therapy" by the well-known Fisher and Greenberg covers the field and makes many statements about evidence reinforcing what they are presenting without detailed references to the pertinent studies. It would have been much more scholarly and appropriate to give us specific references to the "scientific literature" the authors claim provides justification. I assume they hope the reader will turn for details to their volumes, references to which are given.
An encyclopedia edited by a philosopher would not be complete without the brief article titled "Symbiosis" by Horner. It begins with a review of the concept throughout psychoanalytic theoretical writings without reference to Freud except to say that the antecedents to the concept can be found in Freud (without references given). It then goes on to explain that they can even be found "before Freud, in German romanticist literature and philosophy, specifically the Idealist philosophical writings of Fichte, von Schelling, and Hegel" (p. 558) and that "the writings of Fichte and Hegel in particular are preoccupied with the ontology of the self both in individual and generalized terms" (p. 558). Although I enjoyed their remarks because philosophy is one of my disciplines, I think the ordinary reader is entitled to a few more pages expanding on these statements rather than just giving references to classic philosophical works that are really very difficult reading for the nonprofessional, such as Hegel's Phenomenology of Mind or Fichte's Foundations of the Entire Science of Knowledge.
One of the most interesting articles in the encyclopedia, "Transference," by Meyer and Bauer, gives a reasonable overview of Freud's concept of transference followed by a very nice discussion of the relationship between transference and resistance in the somewhat muddled terminology of psychoanalysis. However, it does not deal with the controversial issue (2, pp. 376–384) of whether there is or is not such a thing as transference neurosis. This is a modern issue rather than a matter that was a question to Freud, who invented the term, but I fear that students may be misled.
The encyclopedia closes with a very competent article, "Working Through," by Levey, which again strikes me as something that should be required reading for any dynamic psychotherapist. In conclusion, although this book is a curious mixture of all sorts of essays, it is worth dipping into when one has a question about this or that issue or this or that pioneer in psychoanalysis. Sometimes readers will be disappointed, but at other times they will be richly rewarded depending on the article chosen. I hope the encyclopedia will be given a second edition with much tighter editing, but even as it stands now it represents a worthwhile contribution to those interested in learning about the history of psychoanalysis and the vicissitudes of its founders and progenitors.

SPOKANE -- Spokane Shock defensive back Terrance Sanders and linebacker Beau Bell were honored with the Arena Football League Highlight of the Week on Tuesday.
Sanders did most of the hard work during the play on Friday night against Philadelphia. With Spokane up just 41-34 at the end of the third quarter, Sanders picked off a Ryan Vena pass and made a dash toward the end zone. As he was getting wrapped up, he pitched the ball to Bell who ran the final 19-yards for a touchdown.
That play helped ice a 75-54 win against the Soul. Spokane is now 5-7 on the season. They play Chicago on Saturday at Veterans Memorial Arena (7pm/KSKN).

text: (WNFL) - The Cleveland Indians have reportedly agreed to a one-year deal with reliever John Axford. Various media outlets said the contract will become official after the right-hander passes a physical. Axford opened the 2013 campaign as Milwaukee's closer, but was removed after six blown saves and was eventually dealt to St. Louis in August. He pitched to a 1.74 ERA for the Cardinals down the stretch and struck out five batters over 2 1/3 scoreless innings in two World Series appearances. After saving 81 games the previous two seasons, Axford didn't record a single save last season, but the Indians plan on having him open camp as the team's closer. The Indians also signed pitcher Shaun Marcum to a minor league contract.The Colorado Rockies signed pitcher Boone Logan to a three-year contract on Monday. Logan was an integral part of the New York Yankees' bullpen the past three years, appearing in 205 games. Last season the 29-year-old southpaw went 5-2 with a 3.23 ERA and held left-handers to a .221 average in 77 at-bats. Over eight seasons with the Chicago White Sox, Atlanta Braves and Yankees, Logan owns a 24-12 record with a 4.39 ERA in 420 games, all in relief. The Kansas City Royals have signed infielder Omar Infante to a four-year contract. The deal, which is reportedly worth more than $30 million, includes a club option for 2018. Infante hit .318 with 24 doubles, 10 homers and 51 RBI in 118 games last season with the Detroit Tigers. In 1,209 career games with the Tigers (2002-07), Braves (2008-10), Marlins (2011-12) and Tigers (2012-13), Infante has a .279 batting mark with 207 doubles, 74 homers and 421 RBI. He was an All-Star with Atlanta in 2010.

I don't think square braces are used anywhere in the css spec. A thought occurred to me this morning - why not use them for subproperties - like this
Code css:
body { font [ face: Arial; size: 2em; style: italic; weight: bold; ] }
Yeah, we have property shorthands, but for some modules this is getting out of hand. In particular backgrounds. When a property can have multiples they can be comma separated...
Code css:
body { background: [ image: url(some/path); opacity: .2; color: #fff; position: fixed; size: 50; ], [ image: url(some/path); opacity: .2; color: #fff; position: fixed; size: 50; ] }
The idea further is that these could be nestable as seen here with border, where the top property has a more specific call than the other three.
Code css:
div { border [ width: 1em; style: solid; top [ width: 2em; ] ]
Just a thought. Now someone can come in and tell me why this is utterly stupid and unworkable :)
BTW, this isn't a replacement for multi-property shorthand (for example: border: 1px solid #ff0). It's a more approachable, legible alternative (as it doesn't require the reader to have memorized the argument order).

The Weimar Republic
|Information about this image can be found here.
|This picture is from Olga's Gallery.
The Weimar Republic (named after the capital of Germany at the time) was a tumultous period in Germany's history. It was marked by economic, political, and social upheaval. World War I was responsible for many disquieting changes in German society, the full scope of which were not apparent until the 1920s. One example was that of the changing role of women. With the death of so many of Germany's young men during the war, legions of women were faced with the prospect of never marrying. These women began taking jobs as secretaries, sales clerks, and factory work, all of which were traditionally considered "men's work," to support themselves. Since male unemployment was rife during the interwar period, resentment grew for single working women, who were perceived as taking away jobs from men with families. Many veterans had difficulty relating to these "new women." The wives and girlfriends that they left behind during the war did not understand their experiences and were larely uninterested in doing so. Such men tried to escape the domestic sphere and recreate the fraternity of the front by joining paramiliary groups, like the Nazi SA (Stormtrooper) division. Men and women alike were fearful that changing gender roles and the alienation between the sexes would lead to a societal breakdown.
The Bauhaus building (1925-1926) in Dressau exhibits the modern architectural style of the same name that was created during the Weimar Republic.
This period was also distinguished by the development of a flourishing avante-guarde artistic culture. Modern artistic styles, such as futurism, challenged the traditional definition of art and aesthetics. Some of the finest German authors were active during the Weimar Republic, including Thomas Mann, Erich Maria Remarque, and Hermann Hesse. Composers such as Alban Berg and Arnold Schoenberg astonished the world with their forays into atonal and dissonant music. The UFA movie studio was responsible for some of the most groundbreaking cinema of the silent era, including Metropolis, The Blue Angel, and The Holy Mountain. However, the average German viewed this artistic ferment with dismay. Traditional conservatives proclaimed it to be an erosion of morality, fascists interpreted it as evidence of the pernacious influence of Jewish culture, and the communists condemned it as bougeouis decadence. The Weimar artistic culture would come to an abrupt end when the Nazis came to power; many artists, film-makers, and musicians fled Germany to avoid persecution and censorship.
After Germany's loss in World War I, the country was burdened with massive war debts which crippled its ability to regain its economic foothold. Although 1924 to 1929 were fairly stable, conditions worsened during the Great Depression. There were several reasons for this occurrence. First, the international markets had yet to return to their pre-war levels. Every country in Europe was negatively impacted in some way by this, but Germany, with its reparation debts, experienced a harsher blow. Second, there was also an agricultural depression as well as an industrial depression. Farming in the East Elbe region (a major farming area) had not modernized; this meant that yield was lower, prices were higher, and the product crops uncompetitive on the domestic and international markets. This radicalized not just farmers, but the entire rural sector. Third, the stipulations of the Treaty of Versailles diverted resources from economic development. Fourth, a reluctance for people to spend money in a difficult economy made growth difficult in the consumer sector. These reasons, coupled with the effects of hyper-inflation (the decreased value of money) effectively wiped out the savings of millions of people.
The Cabinent of Dr. Calagari is an example of the Expressionist style that typified German cinema during the Weimar period.
The political instability of the Weimar era did not help the economic situation. Although a parlimentary government was established in Germany following the end of World War I, there was very little support for such a system among the German citizenry. Most German, regardless of their political affliation, believed that the Weimar government was illegitimate. Democracy was considered a foreign imposition that was incompatible with the "German spirit" and unable to improve the material or spiritual welfare of the nation. Members of the Reichstag (the German parliament) reflected this cyncism towards the democratic process by undermining democracy from within; most of the political parties had the aim of replacing the republic with another form of government, whether it be Soviet-style communism or a restoration of the monarchy. Although there were about two dozen political parties in the Weimar Republic (the name given to the democracy that existed from 1919-1933), most fell into six main categories:
- Traditional conservatives - This group was primarily composed of the old Junker class (the Prussian landed nobility) and members of the middle class. Traditional conservatives disliked the changes that occurred in German society after World War I (specifically the rise of communism and socialism, changing morality, and shifting sex roles) and wanted to restore society to the way it was before the war. They supported the restoration of the monarchy as well as the privileges of the traditional aristocracy. Examples of traditional conservative parties included the German National People's Party, the German Conservative Party, and the Christian Social Party.
- Fascists - Fascism is a political system characterized by authoritarianism, corporatism, extreme nationalism, and militarism. As with communism, fascism is grounded in a planned economy, though there is room for more private enterprise under the latter than the former. Fascism is an anti-individualist ideology, in which the interests of the race or nation are above thoe of the individual. The redemptive powers of violence and war are a key part of fascist ideology. The most noteworthy of the German fascist parties was the National Socialist Workers Party (the Nazis).
- Catholics - Since Catholics were often persecuted by the Protestant majority, the former established their own political parties to protect their interests. The largest was the Catholic Center Party. Catholic parties were socially conservative, but the voters themselves had diverse views of how society should be organized; some Catholic voters favored a return to the monarchy, while others desired a corporotist state that followed Catholic social teachings.
- Classical Liberals - Classical liberals were in favor of the Enlightenment-era values espoused by philosophers such as John Locke. They believed in constitutionalism, universal male sufferage, representational government, and free speech. Consequently, classical liberals welcomed the development of the Weimar Republic as a chance to create a democratic Germany. The Liberal parties were heavily Jewish, gaining 75 percent of the Jewish electorate. However, as the economy worsened and political turmoil increased, the number of classical liberals dwindled. Classical liberal parties included the German Democratic Party, the National Liberal Party, and the German People's Party.
- Socialists - Socialism is a political economic system in which means of production are owned by the people. In practice, this usually means public ownership of certain key industries, the creation of government welfare programs, or the forming of worker co-ops. The Social Democrat Party was the largest political group in the Weimar Republic and the dominant party in the Reichstag. Members of the party ranged from classical liberals who favored a moderate welfare state to violent revolutionaries who were indistinguishable from communists.
- Communists - Communism is a political economic system whose aim is to create a classless, stateless society, in which goods are held in common. Religion, private property, and the traditional family structure are to be abolished in the future communist society. To reach this utopia, communists believed that a violent revolution was necesssary to destroy the remnants of the old capitalist order. Although the Communist Party of Germany was directly controlled by the Soviet Union, there was an anti-Russian party known as the Communist Party Opposition.
Despite the large number of parties in the Weimar political system, the one commonality was the fact that (with the exception of the classical liberals and some of the socialists) none of them believed that the government was legitimate. Fights between paramilitary groups affiliated with the Communists and the Nazis were common, particularly in major cities like Berlin and Munich. These fights ranged from beer house brawls to major street battles involving machine guns and homemade grenades. Rebellions against local, regional, and national governments were common, the most famous being the failed Beer House Putsch committed by the Nazis and the brief establishment of a Soviet-styled communist state in the state of Bavaria by the Sparticists, an independent communist party not affiliated with Russia.
Adding to the instability was the presence of Freikorps, private militias comprised of demobilized war veterans. These paramilitary groups attacked communists, socialists, Jews, and classical liberals - the groups considered responsible for Germany's loss in World War I. Communist leaders Rosa Luxemborg and Karl Liebknecht were perhaps the two most well-known victims of Freikorps violence. It was not unusual for local, regional, and national governments to hire Freikorps units to eliminate potential threats. The political climate became so violent, that by the end of the Weimar era almost every political party had a private militia to protect itself against rival organizations.
As the political and economic situation deteriorated throughout the 1920s and continued to decline during the Great Depression, more Germans began to support extremist political parties, believing that their radical solutions would be preferable to the miserable status quo. Without the economic and political turmoil of the Weimar era, Nazism would not have been considered a feasible political ideology.

37th Meeting of the Ramsar Standing Committee
The operation of the Ramsar Small Grants Fund during the triennium 2009-2011
|Action requested: The Standing Committee is invited to take note of the outcome of the work of the contact group of the Subgroup on Finance, with a view to considering and endorsing the contact group's proposal to complement the annual Small Grants Fund cycle with a Small Projects Portfolio, in order to attract additional funds to support a larger number of projects. Standing Committee is further invited to review and adopt the attached Draft Resolution for submission to COP10.
1. In Resolution IX.13, the Contracting Parties urged the Standing Committee, with the assistance of the Ramsar Secretariat, to actively pursue alternative funding mechanisms to resource the Ramsar Small Grants Fund (SGF). They also requested the Standing Committee to bring to the 10th meeting of the Conference of the Parties new proposals for establishing a more vigorous mechanism to support the SGF, including the possible development of regional support funds.
2. The Standing Committee addressed this issue during its subsequent meetings, based on the analysis and proposals provided by the Secretariat. Furthermore, the Standing Committee Subgroup on Finance established a contact group, chaired by the USA, to develop a concrete proposal on how to improve the funding situation. The contact group presented its proposal to the 36th meeting of Standing Committee and clarified in further discussions the remaining points to conclude on a way forward.
3. The commonly agreed aim is to maximize the number of projects, amongst all of the valuable proposals submitted in line with the Operational Guidelines adopted for the annual SGF cycle, that can be funded each year.
4. The first priority is therefore to raise voluntary, unrestricted donations for the SGF. Since the Fund's beginning, the Parties have stated that such unrestricted funds should ideally amount to 1 million Swiss francs annually. Standing Committee should continue to make annual funding decisions, based on the evaluation of the project proposals by the Secretariat according to the criteria detailed in the Operational Guidelines, with a view to equitable spread across the regions, as in the past.
5. This will be followed by a subsequent phase in each annual cycle. All valuable SGF projects that remain without funding, due to a lack of sufficient funds, will be grouped into a Small Projects Portfolio (SPP). The Ramsar Secretariat will then submit this Portfolio to additional donors, whenever an opportunity arises, inviting them to fund specific projects according to their preferences, funding rules, or particular conditions.
6. Trial periods with a Small Projects Portfolio over the last two annual cycles, comprising valuable SGF projects remaining unfunded due to a lack of SGF funds, have demonstrated that this is a comparatively successful way to raise additional voluntary funds to finance a substantial number of additional projects among those initially submitted to the SGF and evaluated as being eligible and valuable for funding.
7. The attached draft Resolution proposes that the grant solicitation and review process will continue as at present. The annual Standing Committee meetings will take a decision on how to allocate available funds to the top-ranked projects submitted to the Fund. All other proposals that have been evaluated and approved as worthy of funding will be included in a Small Project Portfolio. The SPP can then immediately be used for additional fundraising until the next annual SGF grant cycle. To the extent possible, the SPP will seek new donors, different from those that traditionally support the SGF.
8. Standing Committee will adopt the Operational Guidelines for the triennium 2009-2011 during its 40th meeting in early 2009, based on a proposal to be prepared by the Secretariat, including minor improvements of the current Guidelines.
9. Senior Regional Advisers at the Secretariat in particular, along with everyone associated with these grant programmes, will make efforts to become more aware of related small grants funds. Consideration will also be given to inviting potential donors in future to Ramsar regional meetings. Individual donors must be acknowledged and listed in any project outcomes.
10. Standing Committee 37 is invited to review and adopt the attached Draft Resolution for submission to COP10.
Draft Resolution X.00
Optimizing the Ramsar Small Grants Fund during the triennium 2009-2011
1. RECALLING Resolution VI.6 (1996) which renamed the Wetland Conservation Fund, originally established through Resolution IV.3 (1990), as the Ramsar Small Grants Fund for Wetland Conservation and Wise Use (SGF), reviewed its operation, and made recommendations on its level of funding;
2. NOTING WITH PLEASURE that since its inception in 1991 the SGF has provided funding for 203 small projects in 53 developing countries and countries in economic transition for a total amount of 7.6 million Swiss francs;
3. EXPRESSING SINCERE APPRECIATION to those Contracting Parties and organizations that have made voluntary contributions to the SGF over all these years;
4. NOTING WITH CONCERN that the level of voluntary contributions has only been sufficient to fund 17 valuable projects during the triennium 2006-2008, while another 77 valuable proposals submitted by eligible Contracting Parties could not be funded because of a serious lack of funds;
5. RECOGNIZING the desire of the Standing Committee to broaden the current spectrum of potential donors through the submission of non-funded valuable projects to a different group of donors subsequent to each annual SGF evaluation cycle; and
6. COMMENDING the Ramsar Secretariat for its initiatives to improve the project assessment process, administration and monitoring of projects supported by the SGF, as well as for its fundraising efforts for the Fund;
7. REAFFIRMS its conviction that the Ramsar Small Grants Fund for Wetland Conservation and Wise Use (SGF) should continue to be an extremely valuable mechanism for facilitating the implementation of the Convention in developing countries and countries with economies in transition;
8. REITERATES its conviction that the level of resources available to the Ramsar SGF should be increased to 1 million Swiss francs annually and INVITES Contracting Parties to make voluntary donations to the SGF and to seek the assistance of other organizations to meet this target in time for each annual funding cycle;
9. INSTRUCTS the Secretariat to package those project proposals that were evaluated and approved for SGF funding but could not be funded because of a lack of money in the unrestricted SGF fund into an attractive, low-cost Small Projects Portfolio (SPP), once the annual SGF allocations have been made by Standing Committee from within the available unrestricted SGF funds, and to make that Portfolio as widely available to additional potential donors as possible;
10. ENCOURAGES all potential donors who are not able to make an unrestricted voluntary contribution to the Small Grants Fund to contribute to the funding of specific projects described in the Ramsar Small Projects Portfolio, with a view to funding a maximum total number of valuable projects each year;
11. FURTHER ENCOURAGES potential donors to actively contact the Ramsar Secretariat whenever funding opportunities may arise in order to make voluntary donations to the Small Grants Fund, or if such unrestricted funding is not possible for them, to fund specific projects initially submitted to the SGF that form part of the Small Project Portfolio; and
12. INSTRUCTS the Ramsar Secretariat to report to the 11th meeting of the Conference of the Contracting Parties on the functioning and success of the combined project funding strategy of the Ramsar Small Grant Fund and its Project Portfolio.
