High Fidelity Wraparound

What is Wraparound?
Wraparound is an ecologically based process building on the collective action of a team to mobilize resources and talents from a variety of sources to support families in their communities. In the wraparound process a team of people are brought together around all the components of a family's life incorporating their history, culture, relationships and other relevant information to address their challenges and formulate possible solutions. Wraparound also includes a series of practice steps bringing a group of people together to craft and match services, supports and interventions to meet unique family needs. Often referred to as a process rather than a service or particular type of intervention, Wraparound integrates and builds on a variety of concepts from a range of sources. This integrative nature makes Wraparound particularly adaptive to the organization, context and people involved in implementation.
Why Wraparound?
- To ensure caregivers and youth have ACCESS to the people and processes in which decisions are made as well as access to needed resources and services.
- To ensure family's VOICEs are heard and they are full decision makers in charge of their own lives.
- To ensure the family has OWNERSHIP of the planning process in partnership with the team and is in agreement and committed to carry out the plan.
Key Elements in Wraparound
The Institute has established four key elements as definitive of Wraparound. In effect, if these four concepts are not transparently in place quality Wraparound practice cannot occur.
- Grounded in a Strengths Perspective
- Driven by Underlying Needs
- Supported by an Effective Team Process
- Determined by Families
Parent Peer Support Partners in Wraparound
The Institute for Innovation and Implementation's model for Parent Peer Support Partners (PPSP) is based on the premise that PPSP enhances the Wraparound model. The PPSP curricula has been created around the same framework as the training for Wraparound Care Coordination staff and includes core and advanced skills training and activities across the phases and key elements of wraparound (6-8 days over 1 year) and includes practice improvement tools used in certification.
Wraparound Practitioner Certification
The Institute is pleased to provide states with the Wraparound Practitioner Certificate Program. The purpose of the certificate program is to provide states with the necessary support and training to sustain a high-fidelity and quality wraparound practice implementation. The Institute provides certification for care coordinators, peer support partners, and supervisors in Maryland and supports the development and certification of local coaches in states nationwide.
Parent Peer Support Partners
A Parent Peer Support Partner (PPSP) is a parent of a child with emotional or behavioral challenges who has navigated the system (mental health, child welfare, or juvenile justice). Because of their lived experience, they have a unique ability to engage with families receiving services and support them as a peer with empathy and understanding. While the role is the same, there are many different titles for a Parent Peer Support Partner: Parent Partner, Family Partner, Family Support Partner, Parent Advocate, Parent Support Providers and more.
Parent Peer Support is an important piece of family-driven care. At The Institute we provide training and technical assistance in the area of peer support. This includes a focus on Parent Peer Support in Wraparound implementation, strategic planning for Parent Peer Support development, and technical assistance related to broader family driven/family determined care.

Well worth the money. Versatile - can be used casually for everday, yet dressy enough when you need it. Subtle and classy watch. Have seen this same item for a substantially higher price elsewhere. Get it.
Overall I like the watch - Bulova is one my staples. The face of the watch suits my style without being gaudy and tacky. The fit is great. The watch band could be thicker to last longer, but I think the fit of the watch compensate for this flaw and allow the band to last longer.
I love my watch. great price!!! the only negative is the band-it makes the watch look cheap. But the watch only cost $$$
Looks great, and is very good quality. Really happy I got this.
This watch is perfect for me. The product is exactly what I expected from the site image. It can be worn for either going out, work or a casual day. I love it. If you are not looking for a whole lot of "bling," then this is what you want.

After a month of speculation and gestation, Shawn Marion is finally a Raptor. It took three years for Colangelo to bring one of his most prized Suns up north, but he finally managed to do it just as the Raptors are making one last, final (and probably unlikely) push to make the 2009 Playoffs.
The trade brings with it no shortage of controversy and derision, but ultimately I stand by my earlier assessment that this is a trade that makes the Toronto Raptors a superior basketball team.
The most recent objection to this trade has been the fact that O'Neal has come on strong lately as an offensive force for the Raptors and that he should be retained for what he's bringing to the floor. While he certainly found a groove for himself when Bosh went down with a knee sprain against the Lakers, he was not long for this team. He's still a massive injury risk (already missing nearly a quarter of the Raptors' games this year, and slowed by injury in several others) that may not have even been able to muster the requisite motivation down the stretch of the season if he was forced to stay in Toronto for two more months. This is a player who willingly traveled, on his own time, to Miami to be examined by team doctors in an attempt to expedite a trade. There is nothing too unsavory about that since the Raptors were just as eager to move him along as he appeared to be moved, but it does call into question his long term dedication to the franchise if those are the lengths he's willing to go to in order to push through a move out of town.
Plus, O'Neal simply didn't fit with the make up of this team. Bargnani's effectiveness (especially in terms of consistency) was negatively affected by O'Neal's most recent return to the lineup. He took up so much space down low that Bargnani was once again parked too far from the basket on most offensive trips, and he wasn't offered the same paths to the basket because O'Neal wasn't exactly fleet enough to clear space for him on his drives. When Bosh returned, the team would have most likely gone back to their three bigs lineup that simply demands too much of the team defensively to be effective for long stretches, especially for a club that already has to deal with the shortcomings of Jose Calderon on that end of the floor.
Basically, Colangelo knew that O'Neal was a risk from the start, even if it was a risk worth taking.
He played as well as anyone could have asked from an individual standpoint but the team simply couldn't work him into the system effectively, a scenario complicated further when Bargnani came on strong in January. With Andrea securing the centre position for the team, the Raptors once again had a logjam at a position while other positions (primarily the wings) got the short end of the stick.
Thus, out goes the logjam and in comes one of the leagues best small forwards to turn a historically bad position on the team into one of their strengths. Marion, on paper, fits this team like a glove as he provides the kind of rebounding, defense and basketball I.Q. this team has been lacking on the perimeter all season. He will be able to make up for the nights when Bosh or Bargnani aren't their sharpest on the glass, in a pinch he can cover the quicker guards that always seem to salivate when the Raptors come to town and he can slide down to power forward a lot more naturally than Bosh or Bargnani can slide into the small forward slot.
Is he the explosive scoring guard this team needs to open up the court of Bosh? No, but he's a far better ball handler than Jamario Moon was or Joey Graham is and he knows how to put himself in a position to score without having plays drawn up for him. His basketball I.Q. rivals just about anyone on the team and he's going to be one motivated dude over these next two months because he knows as well as anyone that if he has a shot at getting a halfway decent deal this summer in a recessed economy it's going to be with Bryan Colangelo offering it.
It would be foolhardy to say, especially after the Jermaine O'Neal era, that anyone can predict exactly how Marion will slide into this rotation as it looks to make one last push, but in terms of reasonable and available options it is among the few moves made by Colangelo that makes logical sense. The Raptors plug a hole that they've had since Garbajosa left town, they get major cap relief a year before Bosh reaches contract time to try and give him enough reason to re-up with the team and they do both without compromising their chances to win a few more games right away.
While the Raptors community is a little down on Bosh ever since they've learned the apparent limitations of his game (lamentably all players do have a ceiling), that doesn't mean that he team gives up on him. Recent history proves that an organization is rewarded far more generously when they hang on their embattled cornerstone guys (Boston, Los Angeles, Atlanta) than when the panic and unload them (Memphis, Phoenix, Sacramento). Marion may not solve all the problems that ail the Raptors, but he solves more than a few and the team now gets a free (figuratively speaking) two months to see how well fits into their stalled operations.
If he works, great. If not, at least the team has some flexibility to play with this summer. After all, taking a serious, analytical and realistic eye to the rest of the league, who was going to offer more for O'Neal between now and next summer? Who was going to offer a big money player on a short contract that could actually come in a make a difference on this club at the position they needed help at? Sure, you can argue that one never knows, but that kind of paralysis makes for teams like Chicago and Washington, two of the few organizations that can unequivocally be said to be worse off than Toronto.
Plus, with another five days before the deadline, who knows if the Raptors have something else cooking below the radar.

Job Listings
Director of the Central Technology Transfer Office (CTTO), Ireland
Posted on March 21st, 2013
Ireland's universities are key players in the generation of new knowledge from research. Under the national strategy for Science, Technology and Innovation, the universities are also committed to collaboration with industry in commercialisation and technology transfer. Enterprise Ireland has national responsibility for maximising the commercialisation by industry of the intellectual property from public research organisations.
The recent report 'Putting Public Research to work for Ireland' establishes a new policy framework to advance the generation and exploitation of IP emerging from the publicly funded research system. A key part of the infrastructure arising from the report is a new Central Technology Transfer Office to oversee the dynamic evolution of that policy and its implementation.
The Irish Universities Association, in collaboration with Enterprise Ireland, now wishes to appoint a Director of the new CTTO to establish the office and lead its development. The overall aim is to fully establish Ireland as a leader in this field.
Job Specification and Key Deliverables
The CTTO is mandated to deliver a world class TT system, optimising the interaction between publicly funded research organisations and industry. With this in mind, the office is expected to:
- Make engagement with the public research system more attractive to Industry, deliver a consistent and predictable approach to IP commercialisation and to the implementation of the national IP Protocol.
- Create open and active dialogue with industry and effective links with the TTO offices in Irish RPO's, stimulating interaction between the two.
- Maintain the national IP commercialisation policy and licensing framework, in consultation with the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
- Actively monitor the performance of the national TT system, its targets and metrics, with particular reference to the second phase of EI's Technology Transfer Support initiative.
- Support effective commercialisation agreements involving industry and public research organisations.
Person Specification
The CTTO Director will need to demonstrate the following skills and competencies:
- Strong practice based knowledge and experience in intellectual property and technology transfer, spanning industry and public research organisations, including academic institutions.
- Outstanding leadership capability and drive, with the capacity to manage and motivate high-performing teams and deliver on targets and metrics.
- A proven track record of influencing, negotiating and delivery on strategy.
- Proven relationship management and networking skills.
- In-depth knowledge of national and international funding systems for research and commercialisation.
- Credibility with both industry and the academic community, based on a proven track record.
- Appropriate academic and professional qualifications with substantial and broad experience of dealing with technology transfer and technology management in industry or academia.

It is a wonderful exercise to wonder who all these diverse people were who drank from these cans that were ultimately united in this transcendent art.

Income Tax Refund Estimate
Many taxpayers are anxious this year about their finances and would like to estimate their tax refund in advance. The tax refund estimator by TurboTax is a very useful tool for predicting the amount your upcoming tax refund amount.
Getting an Income Tax Refund Estimate
You don't have to be a computer wizard to understand and use the tax calculator. It really is very easy to use and understand. You will however, need to have your paperwork in order to enter income data, filing status, and dependents.
What You Will Need to Know
1. Filing Status (Married filing jointly, Married filing separately, Single, Head of Household)
2. How Many Dependents Will You Claim?
3. What is Your Adjusted Gross Income?
4. Deductions and Credits You Can Claim
This is basic information you will enter into the tax estimator. If you conduct a search on the Internet you will find a lot of tax calculators that will estimate your income tax refund.
It would be a wise decision to choose a company who has a trusted reputation. You do not want to enter personal information (Social Security Number) if you're only looking for a rough estimate from the use of the tax calculator tool. If any company asks for private information just to use the calculator then, I would find another company.
Accuracy Will Give You the Closest Refund Estimate
If you want your income tax refund estimate to be as accurate as possible, you will need to enter wage information from your W-2 form. Filing status and dependent information can be obtained from last year's tax return. If you have to enter in approximate amounts because you don't have the actual information, then make your estimate as close as possible.
More Than One Tax Refund Estimate
If you try several different tax calculators you might be surprised to receive several different estimates. This is normal because every company has little differences that make for varied calculations.
Hopefully the tax estimates won't have a wide range of final numbers. Although many taxpayers use the tax estimator, there are many other services available to help with the preparing and filing of your tax return, especially if you have a more complicated return.
Income Tax Return Preparation and Filing Help
If you would like to estimate your income tax return or need help with preparing and filing your return, TurboTax Online can be your one stop resource. Everything you will possibly need is provided to make the preparation and filing of your personal tax return simple and easy.

How Far Could Legolas Really See?
In Lord of the Rings, Legolas claims to be able to count the exact number of horsemen five leagues away—that's over 17 miles—even discerning their leader as very tall. But would that ever be possible? »

Super-sharp 4k video, in the right hands, is powerful technology. Witness the grandeur of New Zealand's dreamlike landscapes, brought straight to you by Martin Heck. »
Alice Finch and David Frank clearly love the world of The Lord of the Rings as much as they love Lego, because you don't just cruise through an incredible 200,000 block build without a heaping helping of pure passion. This insane brick Rivendell is fandom incarnate. »
Middle Earth is an amazing fictional world, but if you want to really get to know it, you've got to read a lot of words.

Sean Parker's wedding is the gift that keeps on giving.

Lord of the Rings and Lego fans of the world, get ready to sink $200 in the new 2359-piece, 28-inch tall Lego Tower of Orthanc set, which includes six floors: dungeon, entrance hall, Saruman's throne room, alchemy room, library and the secret attic to which you can access using a secret stair.

Wish you had $20,000 to create this Lego masterpiece? Me too. This impressive recreation of the epic battle of Helm's Deep took four months, 150,000 bricks and 1,700 minifigs to build. It's about 90% finished and weighs around 160 lbs. If Tolkien was alive to see this, I believe he'd weep with joy (and probably say… »
Apparently Christopher Lee, the guy what played Saruman in LoTR, is a fan of metal. He's also a fan of Christmas. So, he did the only logical thing that someone who likes both metal and Christmas would do—he recorded a metal Christmas album. No, seriously. »

It may not be a 50,000 piece Rivendell, but this sprawling Hobbiton Lego setup is impressive in its own right. Displayed at SteineWahn 2012 in Berlin, the set depicts Hobbiton right around the time of Bilbo's birthday party, right before the trilogy kicks off. »

Kosuke Fukudome
Bill James projection: 520 ABs, 138 H, 76 R, 13 HR, 61 RBI, .265/.365/.792
What we think: sounds about right. This is what $10 million buys you in MLB, 2010? The very essence of Mehdiocre? Yes, he is going back to right field, and we will benefit from that, alone. Byrd in CF and Fukudome in RF will be better than Fukudome in CF and Bradley in RF. We are halfway through the Fukudome era in Chicago, and although the first two years seemed far different in trajectory, in the end, both years were darn similar. The above projection is pretty much the average of 2008 and 2009, and there really is no reason to suggest he will perform otherwise.
But honestly, I thought we were getting a 20/80 guy, with .300/.400/.900 when he was signed as our key free agent of 2008. He went on a tear his first two months with us, then was a complete offensive drag after that. Last year, Fooky had a nice first month, then cooled down, not quite as bad as the last part of 2008, but enough to where he ended up with nearly the same offensive production as his first year.
There is no reason whatsoever to believe he is going to find a next gear, and ratchet his offensive game up. Basically, if you didn't know what his contract calls for, you would look at this guy, a guy who gets on base, plays decent outfield defense, and call him a great fourth outfielder. However, he is being paid as a starter, and based on everything we have seen, heard, and read, he is our starting right fielder.
What would I like to see? I want to see Tyler Colvin start in RF, and Fukudome become the 4th outfielder. Why? Because, someday, Colvin COULD be that 20/80 guy. I think he has a better chance of doing that in 2010 than Kosuke. Honest to God, I do.
I think Colvin is one of our three best outfielders. He might be the very best, in fact. At least he could be the best. What do we know about him? Very little, I admit. But what we know is that Byrd will not give us 20/80, nor will Fukudome, nor will Soriano, if I had to guess. Soriano COULD give us 40/100, if he were 30 years old and healthy. But he is 33 with a bad knee. Kurt says just because somebody is 33 years old with a bad knee doesn't automatically make him a bustout. He cites Andre Dawson. Dawson was a Hall of Famer. Soriano is not.
What does any of this have to do with Fukudome? Well, I want him to be our first outfielder off the bench. If we had confidence in Colvin, if Byrd was assured to hit as well as he did in Texas, and if Soriano was 30 and healthy, Fukudome would be our fourth outfielder. But none of those things are true, so the Dome will play, and give us our .270/.370/.770 and make us like it. And, we'll be in the bottom half in offense again this year.
So, what hope do we have? Silva the Hutt winning 15? Sure, if that happens, we'll win the division, whether or not Fukudome improves or not.

The big game is over and the results are in. Jumpstart Automotive Group released highlights of its fourth annual Super Bowl Advertising ROI Analysis today—a study that reveals the automotive brands making the biggest impact with online car shoppers immediately following the big game.
For marketers, this study is especially critical in revealing the immediate effectiveness, or lack thereof, of traditional media investments among new car buyers—the majority of whom (79 percent1) turn to the Internet to research their vehicle purchase.
Jumpstart's analysis gauges online traffic to automotive brand pages across 12 vehicle shopping and research websites in the company's partner network on Super Bowl Sunday and Monday compared to the prior week. Gains in share of car shoppers to these brand pages are then calculated as a percentage.
Results of the Jumpstart Super Bowl Advertising ROI Analysis follow:
|Super Bowl Sunday (2/3) vs. Prior Sunday (1/27)
|Super Bowl Monday (2/4) vs. Prior Monday (1/28)
|Sunday-Monday Combined (2/3 - 2/4 vs. 1/27 - 1/28)
|Lincoln MKZ
|Hyundai Santa Fe
|Fiat 500
|Toyota RAV4
|Hyundai Sonata
- Lincoln, with its ad "Phoenix" that featured the sleek MKZ sedan emerging from the desert, scored the biggest points with online car shoppers, leaping 63 percent in share over the prior week and nearly three times as much as the next closest automotive advertiser.
- Hyundai Santa Fe's hilarious ads "Team" and "Epic Playdate" combined kids with comedy to great effect, while Fiat 500's "Sisters" and "Topless" commercials used 'sexy' to sell its L and Abarth models. Both brands saw the second and third greatest Sunday/Monday share of shopper gains over the same timeframe the prior week, with increases of 24 percent and 15 percent respectively.
- Toyota's humorous and wacky wish-granting spot for the RAV4 (13 percent) and Hyundai Sonata's "Stuck" (12 percent), featuring clever driving situations in which the Sonata turbo helps a couple get 'unstuck', rounded out the top five increases in share of shoppers across Jumpstart's partner network of automotive sites.
- Three of the top five advertisers ran multiple commercials (Lincoln, Hyundai and Fiat). Kia followed suit with ads for the Sorento and Forte, yet the automaker saw a half percent decrease in share of shoppers despite its multi-spot investment.
"While the top five contenders saw considerable lift in brand interest among millions of car shoppers in our network, this year's increases were significantly smaller than last," said Nick Matarazzo, CEO of Jumpstart Automotive Group. "The online pre-release of commercials prior to the game helped dull viewer response and ultimately online shopper response, however, we were excited to see an influx of mobile car shoppers to our network, particularly among iPhone users."
Notable Post-Super Bowl Mobile Trends
- Jumpstart's mobile device traffic grew 12 percent on Super Bowl Sunday compared to the prior week.
- iPhone users represented the heftiest week over week mobile user increase at 27 percent.
- Tablet traffic decreased by one percent on Super Bowl Sunday compared to the prior Sunday.
In the coming weeks, Jumpstart will release a longer-term analysis to help marketers gauge the sustainability of their Super Bowl campaigns among online shoppers in its partner network of sites, along with an estimated Super Bowl Advertising Cost Analysis that reveals the expense of each brand campaign weighed against the gain in share of shoppers.

Reebok Answer XIII – White – Red – Grey
May 18th, 2009 by Aaron Hope | 6 comments
His career might be up in the air as of this writing, but it appears that Reebok is going ahead with their newest Allen Iverson model. The Reebok Answer XIII appears above in a white red and grey colourway that would mesh well with Detroit's uniforms, however unlikely it may be for Iverson to ever wear Pistons blue again. The key feature on these joints is the diagonally-vented white leather overlay that stretches from side panel to side panel around the heel, revealing a red underlay. There's a band of grey leather tracing the Hexride-equipped misdole, while an 'ai' insignia on the tongue tag completes the signature look. Who knows what tomorrow brings for the formerly-cornrowed crossover king, but we'll keep you posted. via Kenlu

Indian luger Shiva Keshavan was involved in an unusual incident ahead of the Opening Ceremonies of the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games.
During a training run ahead of the luge events, Keshavan fell off his sled but managed to get back on again.
India is not officially at the Sochi Games, the nation suspended by the International Olympic Committee after it refused to ban corruption-tainted officials from running for elections. The suspension is expected to be lifted after new elections in the coming days.
Keshavan is one of three Indian athletes at these Games; the other two competing in skiing.

xStabxMyxBack - yes, i have the dvd. good stuff, yo.
kittkattbar - you can't not love gabe. the spanish. the singing. the adorable laugh that makes him sound like he's having an asthma attack. --dreamily sighs--
xxpatdxx - sorry about the confusion. after sophie's birthday party(chapter 23), the fic split into 2 stories: one where she ends up with pete and one where she ends up with gabe. if you're into Pete/Soap, read the even chapters beginning with 24. if you're into Gabe/Soap, read the odd chapters beginning with 25. or you can read both =D.
34: s p a n d e x & s y r u p
Joe's POV
"Umm, hi," Pete said, holding his sidekick to his ear. "I'd like to request 4 of your best… ASAP… Yeah, at the House of Blues… Just an hour… Yeah… Alright. No, thank you."
Smirking, he hung up.
"Oh, you'll find out soon enough."
Gabe's POV
After "Send My Love…", Suarez and Ryland took their usual mid-set break, busting out their water bottles while I kept the crowd entertained.
"How are you guys doing tonight?"
Energy was high among the sweaty teens, and they happily screamed in response.
"Awesome… While the rest of the band catches their breath, I'd like to share a story with you guys. When I was like 16, my friend Matt called me up one night. He was all 'Gabe, get your ass out of bed. I'm standing on your front lawn,' and I was all 'What the fuck dude? It's 2AM,' then he was all 'There's a huge party at Daria's right now, and she asked if we wanted to stop by.' You see, Daria was this crazy, rich chick who's parents were always away on business. Anyways, I, being the party animal that I am, got dressed and snuck out through my window. On the way to the party, Matt saw his girlfriend and some guy making out in a car next to us. He started swearing and freaking out. Then before I knew it, the front end of the car was wrapped around a lamppost."
The crowd gasped.
"Don't worry, there wasn't any blood. We were both okay. The car, on the other hand, was fucked up. While I sat in the passenger's seat not knowing what to do, Matt did the sign of the cross and started praying: 'God, thank you so much for preventing us from busting our heads open just now…' As most of you probably know, I don't pray or go to synagogue as often as a good Jewish boy should. But I still consider myself a very spiritual person. In fact, this next song is about my religion…"
Smiles spread across everyone's faces as Ryland and Alex took their cues.
"Just let me ask you hey have you heard of my religion? It's called the church of hot addiction and we believe that god had lust for everything. But now--"
All of a sudden, I felt something grinding up against me. Turning around, I saw that it was someone dressed in a white bunny suit. But that wasn't the strangest thing unfolding before me.
The stage had become drag queen central. To my left, Marilyn Monroe was dancing in front of Ryland. To my right, Vicky and Suarez were being sandwiched by Cher and Britney Spears. And behind them, Madonna was trying to seduce Nate.
"What the fuck?"
It took a few minutes, but we somehow managed to stop laughing and gain enough composure to finish the song while our guests continued dancing on stage.
After I sang the last lines, the costumed mystery person wrapped me in a hug then revealed himself.
The crowd roared with excited screams as Pete stood there, bunny head in hand.
"Just try to top this, Saporta," he said before waving to the crowd and running backstage.
Soap's POV
After the cobras finished up "Guilty Pleasure," they made their way off the stage, leaving the crowd screaming "ONE MORE SONG!" yet again.
While I got up to greet them, Hemmy sat at my feet, finishing the pork chops that he had earned.
"Sounds like they just can't get enough of you guys," I said, tossing a towel to Alex.
"I know. They don't call me Sexy Suavez for nothing."
"Please, I'm waaay sexier," Gabe said, wrapping me in a sweaty hug from behind. Laughing, I turned around in his arms and returned the gesture.
"So how did it feel to be violated by Wentz?"
"To be honest, it felt pretty good," he joked. "But I have no idea how we're supposed to top that."
"Lucky for you, I've been working on that," I said, poking his chest.
"Yep. I called in a few favors just now," I said, smirking. "Let's just say Pete isn't the only one with friends in interesting places."
Half an hour later, I received a call from Diaz at security.
"Hey, Sophie, there are some dudes over here claiming that they're friends with you."
"Soaaap! Tell him to let us in!"
"We're legit, man!"
"What do they look like?" I asked wanting to mess with them a little.
"Umm, there's a tall blonde with a sleeves, a brunette with snakebites, a brunette with the Bayside logo on his neck, another blonde without sleeves, and two dudes without tattoos or piercings."
"Are they carrying anything with them?"
"The tall blonde has a huge box, snakebites has a duffel bag and the dude without sleeves has a bunch of pillows."
"Yeah. They're with me."
After getting off the phone, I gathered the starship and introduced them to my brothers from other mothers.
"Cobras, these are my evil cohorts: Matt, Eddy, Darren, Bryce, Sam and Jeff. Cohorts, these are the Cobras: Gabe, Vicky, Nate, Ryland and Suarez."
They exchanged handshakes, and we got straight to business.
"Have all of the stuff?" I asked.
"Yeah. Syrup, pillows and costumes."
"Sweet. You can change in the bathroom."
Ryland's POV
"Do you all know your cues?" Sophie asked, as we gathered at the side of the stage.
"Yeah. Once you and Gabe do your thing, me, Vicky, Suarez and Nate start phase 2."
"Then the rest of us wait until the music for phase 3," Matt added.
The resident evil genius smiled and nodded. "This is gonna be fucking amazing."
I confess, I messed up dropping 'I'm sorry' like you're still around
And I know you're dressed up
'Hey kid, you'll never live this down'…
"Ready, babe?" Sophie asked.
Cause you're just the girl all the boys wanna dance with
"Always," Gabe responded
And I'm just the boy who's had too many chances
"Okay. On the count of three. One."
Sleeping on your folks' porch again, dreaming
She said, she said, she said--
With that, Gabe and Sophie ran onto the stage, Super Soakers in hand, and covered the guys in maple syrup. Then the rest of team cobra thickened the plot, each of us dumping a box of feathers onto a member of Fall Out Boy. While they stood dazed and confused, Sophie had the techs cut the microphones. The YMCA started playing and Sophie's gang took their cue, hitting the stage dressed as the Village People.
Patrick, Joe and Andy couldn't stop laughing as a policeman, a Native American, a construction worker, a cowboy, a leather man and a military dude started to party boy Pete.
We returned to the stage and started dancing. Panic joined us a few seconds later. Once the refrain hit, everyone in the venue was on their feet, dancing along with us. Words could not describe how cool it was looking into the crowd and seeing thousands of kids doing the YMCA.
It was fucking surreal.
As the song ended, the audience let out a collective sigh. After taking our bows, we made our way off the stage.
"Damn. I can't believe I'm saying this, but I think Team Cobra outdid our prank," Pete said into the mic.
Though they were sticky and feathered, the guys restarted "A Little Less Sixteen Candles" and played through the rest of their set with huge smiles on their faces.
Please RATE, REVIEW and or AIM me @ Disast3rous.
It'll make me smile. A LOT.

Imitation and contrarian behaviour: hyperbolic bubbles, crashes and chaos
AbstractImitative and contrarian behaviours are the two typical opposite attitudes of investors in stock markets. We introduce a simple model to investigate their interplay in a stock market where agents can take only two states, bullish or bearish. Each bullish (bearish) agent polls m 'friends' and changes her opinion to bearish (bullish) if (i) at least mρhb (mρbh) among the m agents inspected are bearish (bullish) or (ii) at least mρhh>mρhb (mρbb>mρbh) among the m agents inspected are bullish (bearish). The condition (i) ((ii)) corresponds to imitative (antagonistic) behaviour. In the limit where the number N of agents is infinite, the dynamics of the fraction of bullish agents is deterministic and exhibits chaotic behaviour in a significant domain of the parameter space {ρhb,ρbh,ρhh,ρbb,m}. A typical chaotic trajectory is characterized by intermittent phases of chaos, quasi-periodic behaviour and super-exponentially growing bubbles followed by crashes. A typical bubble starts initially by growing at an exponential rate and then crosses over to a nonlinear power-law growth rate leading to a finite-time singularity. The reinjection mechanism provided by the contrarian behaviour introduces a finite-size effect, rounding off these singularities and leads to chaos. We document the main stylized facts of this model in the symmetric and asymmetric cases. This model is one of the rare agent-based models that give rise to interesting non-periodic complex dynamics in the 'thermodynamic' limit (of an infinite number N of agents). We also discuss the case of a finite number of agents, which introduces an endogenous source of noise superimposed on the chaotic dynamics.
