Singapore - Adam Scott on Tuesday vowed to come back a better player as he slowly rebuilds his game after a miserable season.
The Australian, who was ranked world number three in the middle of last year, has seen his form crash with 10 missed cuts so far this year, shattering his confidence.
But he is back on familiar territory this week at the Barclays Singapore Open, a tournament he won back-to-back in 2005 and 2006.
Scott, now ranked 76, said he was restructuring his game and was convinced he could once again force his way into the top 10.
"When I won back-to-back here I was playing very well, I had everything under control and had a lot of confidence," he said.
"This year I have worked on a lot of things in my game but they haven't all come together at the same time yet.
"It has affected my confidence a little bit but slowly but surely that is coming around. In fact, every part of my game is coming around. It's just a process to make myself better."
Scott's confidence got a boost by being controversially selected by captain Greg Norman, a fellow Australian, for the Presidents Cup this month.
But he is the first to admit that he still has some way to go to justify being an automatic pick for such high-profile events.
"My ball striking this year has been the worst it has ever been. I'm trying to change some things in my swing, not drastic but just to get it back to where it once was," he said.
"But this has proved to be a lot harder than I thought and it obviously affected my confidence.
"With low confidence and playing some hard courses I certainly got beaten up a bit this year. In the last three or four months I've had some poor results but there have been some good signs and I certainly feel good at the moment.
"I'm taking it as a process where I really believe that I will come back better than I was before."
The Sentosa course here is one be knows well and he is hoping that may give an edge in a tournament also featuring the calibre of Phil Mickelson, Padraig Harrington and fellow Australian Geoff Ogilvy.
"I've played so many good shots here so this a good opportunity to use that to my advantage and I hope to get myself into a position to contend here," he said.
"A decent result this week would be good, but it's all part of the process to come back better next year."

My Son and the Afterlife: Conversations from the Other Side (Paperback)
An emotional journey through grief to healing and skepticism to belief—discover the answers that will change your life forever.
Until her son Erik committed suicide at the age of twenty, Dr. Elisa Medhus never believed in life after death. But all of that changed when Erik began communicating with her from the other side.
As an accomplished physician, Dr. Medhus had placed her faith in science. But the tragedy surrounding her son's death forced her to seek answers, to ask those universal questions we have all asked ourselves: Is there life after death? Do the dead communicate with the living?
In My Son and the Afterlife, answers are finally revealed. Through a series of conversations, Erik reveals a compendium of new knowledge on the nature of death and afterlife, the abilities and activities of the soul, and the powerful experience that love knows no boundaries—not even death.
About the Author
Elisa Medhus, MD, is an accomplished physician who has practiced internal medicine for more than thirty years. She is the author of three award-winning parenting books and has lectured on parenting in schools, parent groups, and corporations. A strong believer in science, she formerly viewed spiritual matters with skepticism, until the death of her son. Once Erik began to communicate with family, friends, and blog members, Dr. Medhus's entire paradigm shifted as she embarked on a journey toward spiritual understanding and belief.
Praise for My Son and the Afterlife: Conversations from the Other Side…
âeoeElisaâe(TM)s journey has been amazing and she is well-qualified to share her knowledge with both the medical community and the grief community. She has the credentials to bridge the gap that often exists between these two groups, and by doing so, she is breaking new ground and leading the way for many of us working in the field of bereavement, hospice care, and consciousness.âe
-Terri Daniel, author, educator, end-of-life advisor, interfaith chaplaincy, and founder/director of the Afterlife Education Foundation and the Annual Afterlife Awareness Conference
âeoeMy Son and the Afterlife contains the clearest, most informative answers to questions about what happens after a person passes into the afterlife that I have read in one book. The topics explored a range from very human, personal issues such as who greets the person after their passing to insightful descriptions of the nature of consciousness and reality.âe
-R. Craig Hogan, PhD, author of Your Eternal Self
âeoeErik's messages are poignant, profound, informative, and entertaining, and above all give us that assurance that we all long forâe"that there is life beyond death, and that all is well there. Erikâe(TM)s words help our minds to understand, but most of all he helps our hearts to heal and our joy to soar. Thank you, Erik."
-Christine Elder, author of Broken Blessings
âeoeMy Son and the Afterlife by Elisa Medhus, MD is a book that will tug at your heart strings, make you laugh, cry, and more importantly, consider possibilities that you had probably never thought about before. This book, a record of the authorâe(TM)s conversations with her recently deceased son, Erik, is as real, authentic, and straightforward as it gets. Dr. Medhus and her son Erik, are both in a state of flux struggling to make sense of new perspectives that were thrust upon them as a result of Erikâe(TM)s suicide. Both are determined to fully explore and share their newfound awareness as they provide much needed healing for each other, find new meaning and significance in the love that binds them, and invite you to come along on their poignant journey to the other side of death.âe
-Thomas Campbell, physicist and author of My Big TOE (Theory of Everything)
âeoeRaised by atheist parents, Elisa Medhus, MD. believed only in a material realityâe"until her mind was jarred open by the excruciating loss of her son, Erik. Following his death she began to receive anomalous communications matching with Erikâe(TM)s distinctive personality. Always direct and sometimes crude, the insightful messages forever changed Elisaâe(TM)s worldview. I was touched by the continuing dialog between mother and son, finding it both comforting and enlightening. Donâe(TM)t be surprised if Elisaâe(TM)s story alters your ideas about the nature of reality too.âe
-Mark Ireland, author of Soul Shift
âeoeThe hide-bound reductionist materialism of 19th and early 20th century science is crumbling under new discoveries and their relevance to what sensitive people through the ages have known all along. Dr. Medhus meticulously guides us through her own epiphany as she, a medical doctor, an exploring mind, and suddenly a re-focused mother finds the intensely personal strength to understand her son's suicide and its larger meaning in the nature of which we are all part, and the courageous professional strength to bring her realizations to us. While this book is obviously an invaluable resource for theologians and physicists, and ethicists and counselors, it is truly a touchstone for all of us who feel and who seek to understand the transcendental nature of the human condition.âe
-Marco M. Pardi, MA, DPS, anthropologist and thanatologist
âeoeDr. Elisa Medhus has approached her conversations with her son Erik in a courageous and systematic way, using all the analytical skills of a trained scientist. She asks Erik the hard questions that any parent who has lost a child would want answers to, and more. Erik answers all these questions with his own characteristic laid-back directness in a no-nonsense way that brings our understanding of the afterlife into the twenty-first century. This is a remarkable book written by remarkable people, which will bring hope and comfort to the bereaved and change many lives for the better.âe
-Dr. Victor Zammit, author of A Lawyer Presents the Evidence for the Afterlife
"Dr. Elisa Medhus offers a heartfelt, deeply moving story that invites readers to question their own beliefs of love, loss, and the afterlife."
-Eben Alexander, MD

If the Internet has given legions of imposters the tools they need to perpetrate a good ruse, it's also given us the means to catch them. But as we've seen with the cultural phenomenon documented by MTV's "Catfish: The TV Show," people want to trust that the person on the other end of the computer is the world-traveled beauty queen they claim to be.
One of the most effective ways to unmask someone who is pretending to be someone else is quite simple, akin to a Google image "reverse" search. Funny enough, this is mostly how frauds are discovered on Nev Schulman's "Catfish." The show manages to stretch the process into an hourlong show, chronicling people who find love online and setting up in-person reveals for the couple, often to the dismay of the one party that was telling the truth.
Now Notre Dame linebacker Manti Te'o, heralded for his on-field heroics during his girlfriend's tragic illness and death, wants us to believe he, too, was "catfished." He wants us to believe that after her "death," he found out his beloved Lennay Kekua never existed. Despite his previous stories of how they locked eyes upon meeting, how after landing in a coma, her breathing would pick up when she heard his voice, Te'o now wants us to believe that he met someone pretending to be her online -- never in person -- and was scammed.
It turns out pictures of the fictitious Lennay were actually lifted from an unwitting 23-year-old Los Angeles woman, used in a fake Twitter profile and countless handouts to the media. The crack reporters at the sports website Deadspin discovered this. Here's how they (likely) did it, and how you can find out the origins of nearly any picture on the web:
Step one is to download Google's Chrome browser. It includes an enhanced version of Google's image search. Step two is to save the image in question to your hard drive. Do a split-screen view, with Google Chrome on one side and the image on the other. Drag and drop the image into Google's image search. Voila. You should be able to view any other place that the picture, as well as similar-looking ones, appears on the Web.
If you want to go a little deeper into identity verification, I recommend the subscription-based website Spokeo. It's an online phone book that integrates with social media sites and their user names. It's got a number of uses, and a few months back, I helped a friend find out that his sketchy new love interest was actually married. These days, there are few good reasons to fall for a scam -- even if the perpetrator is a contender for the Heisman Trophy with a feel-good story that we wanted to believe.

TUESDAY, Nov. 15 (HealthDay News) -- People with more risk
factors for heart disease are more likely than healthier
individuals to suffer a first heart attack, according to a large
new study. No surprise there. But patients with fewer or no risk
factors are more likely to die from that heart attack.
"Our data show that patients with multiple risk factors present much earlier in age than patients with fewer or no risk factors.
However, patients with fewer or no coronary heart disease [CHD]
risk factors overall had higher mortality after the first heart
attack," said Dr. John Canto, lead study author and director of
cardiovascular prevention, research and education at the Watson
Clinic in Lakeland, Fla.
The researchers looked at data on about 540,000 patients with a
first heart attack but without previous heart disease, from the
U.S. National Registry of Myocardial Infarction (NRMI) for 1994 to
2006. They focused on five major risk factors: high blood pressure,
smoking, high blood cholesterol, diabetes and family history of
heart disease.
Of these patients, about 14.5 percent had no risk factors for
heart disease when admitted to the hospital, 81 percent had one to
three risk factors, and 4.5 percent had four or five risk
But of those who died while still in the hospital, nearly 15
percent had no risk factors, while slightly more than 4 percent had
four risk factors and about 3.5 percent had all five. With every
drop in number of risk factors, the odds of dying rose.
The researchers noted that because the NRMI is an observational
study, they cannot prove cause and effect between mortality rate
and number of heart disease risk factors.
The study, published in the Nov. 16 issue of the
Journal of the American Medical Association, is slated for presentation Tuesday at an American Heart Association meeting in Orlando, Fla.
The inverse relationship between death rates and other risk
factors -- notably obesity -- previously has been observed, said
Dr. Gregg Fonarow, a professor of cardiology at the University of
California, Los Angeles, who is familiar with the study
"While it may be expected that the presence of coronary heart disease risk factors would further increase the risk of mortality among patients with acute myocardial infarction [heart attack], multiple studies have shown the opposite is true," Fonarow said. "This has been referred to as the 'risk factor paradox' or 'reverse epidemiology.'"
The new study did look at obesity and found "a direct
association between obesity and increasing numbers of risk
factors." Obesity rarely occurred in isolation.
Although the reasons for the paradox are not fully clear,
Fonarow said, age might contribute. He noted that study patients
"without risk factors, presenting with acute myocardial infarction,
were over 15 years older than those with multiple risk factors --
and age is a major determinate of in-hospital mortality."
Of those with zero risk factors, the average age for first heart
attack was about 72 years, while patients with five risk factors
had their first attack at about 57.
"It's not just age. We did adjust for age and stratified results [according to] age," Canto said. For the zero-risk-factor patients, "it might take longer to form significant disease," Canto said, or their biology might be different. Higher-risk patients might have gradually adapted to their disease, perhaps by forming collateral circulation (using other channels) to compensate for clogged arteries.
Another possible explanation: "People with risk factors may also
be more likely to be on treatments to modify their risk of dying,
such as higher use of aspirin, statins and other
cholesterol-lowering meds, blood pressure meds, all treatments
known to improve CHD outcome," Canto said. "It might be that these
patients are encouraged to go on exercise programs and eat better,
and are more likely to be closely monitored and treated by
Study results notwithstanding, the best bet is to avoid having a
heart attack, Fonarow said.
"Acute myocardial infarction is preventable," he said. "Aggressive control of coronary heart disease risk factors including hypertension [high blood pressure], hyperlipidemia [high cholesterol] and smoking can prevent acute myocardial infarction in the vast majority of men and women in the first place."
For people who are at risk, "the clinical implication of our
study is that treating CHD factors makes a tremendous difference in
reducing CHD mortality, and conversely, absence of CHD risk factors
does not necessarily portend a good prognosis after heart attack,"
Canto said. "We hope the study will motivate people to get
evaluated and treated."

Whole Foods Flagship Store
11 Comments | Written on June 9, 2011 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
Last week, while I was in Austin for the IACP conference, there was one side trip I simply had to make. A quick visit to the original Whole Foods Market! The chain began in Austin and I wanted to scope out the flagship store.
The first store was started by an idealistic bunch of 19 people dedicated to providing their customers with organic and sustainable products. Today, with stores all across the country and over 50,000 team members their commitment to these core values are as strong as ever.
Here in Austin there is also a Culinary Center in addition to the grocery store. There you can take cooking classes ranging from basic techniques to exotic culinary adventures. They even provide full-service catering and event planning from this location.
Take a look at that sparkling kitchen as well as the fantastic variety of cookbooks for sale inside the Culinary Center!
One of my favorite parts of this store was the enormous bulk foods section. Just about every herb, spice, grain or bean was available in these bins. I love being able to buy bulk items. It is more environmentally friendly as it cuts down on packaging and shipping. Buying bulk can also save you money. Think about all those times you have to buy an entire, expensive jar of a spice you only end up using once. In this scenario you can simply purchase the one or two teaspoons you might need for a recipe and a fraction of the cost!
Of course, I am also a fan of any market that has a bar inside the store! Shoppers could participate in wine and beer tastings, or just relax at the bar to enjoy a glass of their favorite beverage. I was there on a Friday afternoon and they even had a local musician there to entertain the group. Love it!
As I was leaving the store, this caught my eye by the front door. So many grocery stores will have a basket of candy for children to snack on while their parents do the shopping. Here at Whole Foods there are baskets of fresh fruit! While I waited for my taxi to take me back to the conference I saw dozens of kids choose their favorite from these baskets. Such a wonderful way to teach good habits from an early age.
Whole Foods also provides an array of healthy recipe cards scattered throughout the store. I love anything with grapefruit, so this recipe for a simple and colorful salad instantly caught my eye. Enjoy!
2 grapefruits
2 avocados, peeled, pitted and chopped
1/4 small red onion, thinly sliced
1 head Bibb or butter lettuce
Carefully peel grapefruits, making sure to remove all of the white pith. Working over a large bowl to catch any juice, cut the membrane from the outside edge of each segment to release the fruit and let it drop into the bowl. Add avocados and onion, and toss well. Arrange lettuce leaves on a platter, spoon salad over the top and serve. Serves 4.

Holiday Entertaining Across the USA!
1 Comment | Written on December 13, 2010 at 5:00 am , by Kristina Vanni
If you follow Better Recipes on Facebook or Twitter, you might know that I am currently on a media tour right now all across the US! I am hopping from city to city talking about holiday entertaining and sharing a few recipes. Even if I can't make it to your city, I still wanted to share a couple of these recipes with everyone!
This first is a quick and easy, three ingredient appetizer using Athens Mini Fillo Shells. Any regular readers of "The Daily Dish" know these are one of my favorite products! (Remember those Mini Pumpkin Pies from Thanksgiving?!) The second dish is a holiday coleslaw from Aunt Nellie's Pickled Beets. In fact, the recipe was originally developed by a friend of mine (Hi Roxanne!) and was a winning recipe in a recent contest sponsored by Aunt Nellie's. Pretty neat!
If you want to check out a clip from one of the TV shows, click here for the segment from Tampa!
5 oz. Brie cheese
15 Athens Mini Fillo Shells (1 box)
15 fresh raspberries
In a food processor, pulse Brie cheese (including rind) until smooth. Spoon 1 rounded teaspoon of Brie into each Fillo Shell. Top with one raspberry. Bake in preheated 350°F oven for 5 minutes or just until cheese is melted. Serve warm.
1 jar (16 ounces) Aunt Nellie's Sliced Pickled Beets
4 cups finely shredded red cabbage
4 cups torn watercress
1/2 cup dried cranberries
1/4 cup chopped red onion
1/2 cup prepared light raspberry vinaigrette
1/4 cup snipped fresh mint
Crumbled feta cheese
Drain beets; save liquid for another use. Cut beets into thin strips.
Combine beet strips with cabbage, watercress, cranberries, red onion and mint. Toss to combine. Add vinaigrette and toss gently. Sprinkle with cheese. Makes 6 servings.

|Revived Wildcats take 3-game streak into Territorial Cup showdown
|Written by Admin
|Thursday, 29 November 2007 12:42
How could he not?
His Arizona Wildcats were 2-6 after an ugly 21-20 home loss to Stanford on Oct. 20. They seemed destined to spend the holidays at home for a ninth straight year, extending the Pac-10's longest bowl drought.
Stoops would be fired at season's end, or so the speculation went, and someone else would take a crack at reviving the fortunes of the only Pac-10 football program that has never been to the Rose Bowl.
``You hear it,'' Stoops said after practice this week. ``Some of it's justified. I've been around, and I know how these things work. I really believe you get what you deserve.''
Then came a trip to Seattle on Oct. 27. Trailing by 15 points with 13 minutes to go, the supposedly worn-out Wildcats rallied for a 48-41 victory over Washington. Facing third-and-7 at the Huskies 27, quarterback Willie Tuitama hit Mike Thomas for the winning touchdown with 2:07 to play.
The play launched a three-game win streak, including a 34-24 victory over then-No. 2 Oregon on Nov. 15. Only No. 8 USC has as many consecutive wins among Pac-10 teams.
During the streak, Arizona president Robert Shelton quelled the can-Stoops movement by announcing that the coach would be back for a fifth season in 2008. Stoops, who is 17-28 and under contract through 2010, could breathe again.
``I just knew we were playing better than our record,'' Stoops said. ``We just didn't get any breaks. We had some tough competition. We just weren't aligned right.''
Now the talk is about whether the Wildcats can knock off rival Arizona State on Saturday night in Tempe - and a possible bowl bid for the Wildcats (5-6, 4-4 Pac-10).
``Three wins later, everything's hunky dory,'' linebacker Spencer Larsen said with a chuckle. ``Honestly, I don't think anyone has a handle on what happened.''
Campus was literally buzzing on Wednesday evening as the team worked out under the lights at Arizona Stadium. Piped-in crowd noise simulated the atmosphere at Sun Devil Stadium, which will be sold out for the game. The din could be heard all the way over at Old Main in the heart of campus.
No one had to ask what the noise was all about. It's ASU week - the time of year when football passions inflame a basketball-obsessed school.
``There is hatred all around campus,'' cornerback Antoine Cason said. ``You see the students. That is all they are talking about. Oregon was a great game, but ASU is what we have to do. It is a good atmosphere to be in. The students are all behind you and everybody talks about it.''
Of course, the Wildcats said the same thing last November, when they rode a three-game win streak into the Territorial Cup game. A victory over the mediocre Sun Devils at home would have sent Arizona to a bowl game. But the Wildcats came out tight, fell behind 21-0 in the first quarter and lost 28-14.
Stoops senses a difference in his team as it prepares for ASU this year.
``There's no question we're a lot better than we were last year at 6-6,'' he said.
One reason is Arizona's offense, which has finally found its stride under new coordinator Sonny Dykes. The conservative Stoops has allowed Dykes to ditch the running game and throw caution - and everything else - to the wind.
The Wildcats have scored 116 points in their last three games, and Tuitama has 10 touchdown passes against two interceptions in that span.
No one seems to care that the Wildcats rush for a paltry 79.7 yards per game, fewer than all but six major-college teams.
Another reason for Arizona's turnaround can't be found on the stat sheet.
The Wildcats say they are more relaxed - and they're taking a cue from the 45-year-old Stoops, who might want to try decaf more often.
On the sideline, Stoops is among the most animated coaches in college football. He and his staff routinely receive warnings from the officials to stay off the field.
But as the Wildcats stumbled in midseason, Stoops said he felt his team was straining. He looked to himself to change the attitude.
``I took the blame,'' Stoops said. ``I feel like we started pressing.''
The players picked up on the message and began to perform better.
``As players, we really don't know how he feels or what is on the line for him, but he can get really tight,'' Cason said. ``For him to relax makes us relax and play loose. We know we can come back to the sidelines if we mess up without getting chewed out.''
Now the question is whether the Wildcats can complete their turnaround with a victory over 13th-ranked Arizona State. Instead of turning in their gear, the Wildcats could begin planning for a bowl trip.
``It (won't be) a Rose Bowl, but it would be a statement that we've come a long way, and we're headed in the right direction,'' said Larsen, a senior. ``It's so important that we win.''

ISLA is excited to announce Domincal beach in Costa Rica as a new project of ISLA. Recently ISLA donated necessary clothing and equipment to the Dominical Lifeguards and are working with the Domincal lifeguards on several training and volunteer trips for later this year. More information on these trips will be live in the next week.
Dates: Specific Dates To Be Determined by Applicants
Playa Dominical, Project Description:
The ISLA team will assist the Dominical Lifeguards through the New Years Holiday season. Playa Dominical is one of the most dangerous beaches in Central America and was previously known as "Playa de Muerte" (Death Beach) due to the high drowning rate. The Dominical Lifeguards deal with 8-10 foot surf and rip currants that pull 300-400 meters of shore on a consistent basis.
Applicants should have more than three years experience working in large surf areas.4-5 spots available. Spanish not required.
Dominical Application is not available at this time. Please email William Koon: firstname.lastname@example.com for information.
Over the past forty years, the California Surf Lifesaving Association (CSLSA) has run an exchange program between Surf Lifesaving New Zealand and California Lifeguards. It started back in 1969 and has a rich tradition of exchanging professional and volunteer lifesaving techniques and equipment.
ISLA's Manager of National Relations, Morgan McGowan, and Manager of Training & Education, Jesse Heydorff, have been past participants of this educational exchange. Both McGowan and Heydorff have shared vital information with ISLA which they learned through this valuable lifeguard exchange. We at ISLA would like to thank the CSLSA for their continued support of lifesaving and keeping this exchange running.
While on his lifesaving voyage around the world, Morgan McGowan, Manager of National Relations toured the north-east coast of Australia. Starting in Brisbane he toured the Gold Coast before heading north along the Sunshine Coast. Along the way he stopped at several surf clubs including Caloundra, Coolum Beach, Noosa Heads, Mooloolaba, and all the way up to Cairns. This was a very informal exchange where he managed to secure numerous contacts for future collaborative efforts, exchange stories with fellow lifesavers, and have a good time. While in Australia, Morgan managed to dive the Great Barrier Reef which along with lifesaving, ocean conservation and ecology is a true passion of his as a Marine Biologist.
In the Summer of 2011, Japanese lifesaving official Taishi Otono met with ISLA staff members to gather information on lifeguarding in the United States and Central American. Tashi will utilize the knowledge he learned to create a Jr. lifeguarding Program in Okinawa. With the help of ISLA Japanese Ambassador Reuben Rodriguez, ISLA plans to conduct a Project in Japan in coordination with Taishi.
In December of 2011, a representative of Brazil's lifeguarding association Marcelo Balvoa contacted ISLA requesting lifeguarding information ISLA has gathered in Central America. Members of the lifeguarding association of Brazil are currently involved in planning the ISLA Project.
ISLA President Henry Reyes and Manger of Disaster Response Michael Hudson led Project Ecuador's "Team Playas", a group of seven lifeguards from the United States. Team Playas was responsible for guarding over two miles of ocean. During the 4 day Carnival celebration the team worked with local professional Playas lifeguards.
Starting in the beginning of 2012, Angel Ponovski of the newly founded Water and Mountain Rescue Organization begin talks with ISLA about assisting with a volunteer exchange program for regions in Eastern Europe and the Balkans. ISLA is beginning to organize a game plan for future projects in the Balkans including assisting with providing resources for Macedonia's newly founded Rescue Organization. Plans of an exchange and training course are being planned for May 2013.
Nicaragua is the home of ISLA's Central American operations.
Since 2009 ISLA has been sending a growing team to help with the massive amounts of crowds that attend the beaches during the Nation's holiday week of Semana Santa. Our efforts have gone to decrease the nation's average drowning rate by 75% during the weeklong festivities. We hope to continue this effort until there are zero drownings in the country of Nicaragua.
Past ISLA operations in Nicaragua have included guarding the beaches of San Juan Del Sur (the countries most popular resort destination) El Transito, Mira Mar, Jiquilio, Paso Cabillo, and the Lago de San Jorge (a local, prehistoric volcanic lake).
Over Semana Santa 2012, ISLA is sending a team back to Nicaragua to assist the Red Cross's rescue efforts during the holiday season. ISLA will also conduct our first basic open water lifeguard course in the country.
The Dominican Republic has a unique aquatic safety situation in that it is part of an island, yet has a very small water culture where many people do not know how to swim nor have sufficient oceanic knowledge to navigate the natural dangers that plague the countries pristine coastline. In an effort to educate and promote aquatic safety, ISLA ran a crash course program in 2011 that taught locals about common open water risks, basic aquatic rescue techniques, basic first aid, and CPR. Since that first project, ISLA has conducted numerous others and will continue working with Dominicans toward the ultimate goal of complete sustainability of ocean lifeguard programs to reduce death by drowning in the country.
Since 2008, ISLA Directors and volunteers have been traveling to the small community of Chapultepec, Baja California to meet fellow Mexican lifeguards and share valuable lifesaving information. This exchange of knowledge and friendship is one of the core fundamentals of the International Surf lifesaving Association.
Recently ISLA lifeguards joined the official IBLA exchange with the Tijuana Lifeguards and have 4 trips planned to Tijuana, Rosarito, Cerritos/Todos Santos and Tulum/Cancun for the 2012 – 2013 year!
In November of 2011, a small team of ISLA volunteers traveled to Panama City, Panama to meet with officials from the countries Civil Defense; Panama's nationally recognized lifeguarding agency.
ISLA is in contact with Julio Molina from the Panamanian Civil Defense, and a Project is currently being developed.
In August of 2011, ISLA Public Relations Manger Raquel Lizarraga traveled to the beaches Donesta, San Sebastian to gather intelligence of lifeguarding operations in Spain. Shortly after her reconnaissance, lifeguards from the Canary Islands contacted ISLA.
ISLA is currently in contact with Beach Inspectors/Head Lifeguards of the Canary Islands and will be working on future projects.
The Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service (NSLS) is another organization that is dedicated to professional lifeguard development outside their own countries borders, specifically in the Dominican Republic. The NSLS has conducted various training projects in the Dominican Republic, and has worked towards many similar goals as ISLA. We look forward to working with the NSLS in the future to help develop Dominican Lifesaving efforts and further promote ocean safety in the Dominican Republic. For more info about the the Nova Scotia Lifeguard Service visit: http://www.nsls.ns.ca/
ISLA has partnered with Claudio Pradenas Abarca and la Escuela de Guardavidas SEAL, a private lifesaving agency founded by Claudio that now provides services up and down the Chilean coast. Claudio is an all around waterman and his team's expertise goes far beyond basic open water rescue, encompassing swift water, advanced dive rescue, and almost any other water related rescue imaginable. We look forward to deepening our relationship with Guardavidas SEAL and are especially excited to incorporate their expertise and Spanish language skills in our upcoming trips. ISLA is also looking into the possibility of organizing exchange programs to Chile.
The United States of America has played an important role in the growth of the International Surf Lifesaving Association. From its birth in California in 2008, to the finish line of our first nationwide fundraiser, the U.S. has played a central role in ISLA's operations.
The Majority of ISLA volunteers are professionals in the emergency medical response industry and are represented by agencies throughout the entire country. Our projects have included representatives from the following agencies:
California State Lifeguards
Long Beach City Lifeguards
Los Angeles City Lifeguards
Los Angeles County Lifeguards
Huntington City Beach Lifeguards
Newport Beach Lifeguards
Corolla Ocean Rescue
San Diego City Lifeguards
ISLA's headquarters is strategically located in Huntington Beach, CA. "Surf City" has become a central place for our organizations planning and operations. We conduct training seminars, fundraisers, and prepare ourselves to service our community, and beaches in an effort to save lives.

Service and delivery comments:
Reserve to store was prompt.
Major negative was when staff retrieved the tray it had a massive score along the length of it so clearly damaged. As it was for a present there was no way I would be able to take that particular one. The staff member went to check if there was another available but there wasn't any. I was pretty annoyed given I had travelled 10 miles to the store just to collect it as had checked that it could be delivered to store and as it was for a present I was time limited to find a replacement. I feel I should have been contacted and told not to come or have its condition explained prior to my collection time.

International Custody Disputes
Earlier this year parent advocates criticized the U.S. government for leaving 6-year-old Elian Gonzalez in the custody of relatives rather than reuniting him with his Cuban father. But about a thousand American children are subject to decisions by the governments and legal systems of other countries which have denied U.S. parents custody or visitation of their children. A panel talks about how custody disputes are handled on the international level, and why certain countries, including some U.S. allies, pose persistent problems.

Kyle Wilson, a New Jersey native, who was considered one of the best cornerbacks in the 2010 NFL draft, was drafted by the New York Jets as the 29th pick in the first round.
He has an impressive resume going back to his HS playing days at Piscataway, New Jersey; where he helped his football team to three straight state-championships, and was also named first-team all-state as wide receiver. Wilson received a few scholarship offers and eventually chose Boise State.
As a Boise State Bronco, Wilson was named honorable mention freshman All-America. The following years, he played some great defense, recording 111 tackles, 23 pass-breakups, and eight interceptions, throughout his college career.
Wilson was also a punt-returner, and in 2008 he finished the season with the most punt returns for touchdowns in the nation. In November, 2009, he was named one of the 12 semi-finalists for the Jim Thorpe Award, given to the best defensive back in college football.
Wilson, who, throughout his career has had success on the football field, didn't see much of it in his debut as a New York Jet in 2010 and beyond. He started off decent but as games progressed to the middle of the season, he slowly lost his and the coaches confidence with his bad play at the DB position.
Trying to improve his craft and put his bad seasons behind him, Wilson worked hard during off seasons, with physical training, studying film, and even training with Darrelle Revis in Phoenix (Darrelle invited him) a couple of years ago and now Antonio Cromartie, he's showing that he is determined to move on and try to have a great year this upcoming season.
In Wilson's first three seasons, the defensive back tallied 110 tackles, one forced fumble, 15 passes defended and just three interceptions.
What happened to the corner's once-promising football career? And the question that immediately follows is: should the Jets keep him or dump him? Let's keep in mind, though, that Wilson has played with all-world Darrelle Revis and Antonio Cromartie on the roster, so it is kind of hard to stand out.
Let's hope that Wilson builds on his hard work and dedication in the offseason and that it translates to success in the regular season.

Look, its a game! The Gov't wont tell you there is inflation because they would then have to increase SS and other entitlements. Someday I hope the US Gov't gets out of everyone's business.
Let's not forget to dismiss food, energy, and education inflation too. Those don't really count.
Linc M is right. It's all just a huge diversion to avoid paying out entitlements and, of course, used as some sort of perverted validation that money printing isn't causing inflation.
I hope we can dismiss housing and clothing next.
Whatever it takes. Whatever it takes.
Core to whom: policy makers or entitlement recipients? Those who govern monetary policy use it because it's less volatile. I agree those who receive increases based on the measure are not getting a real cost of living increase, but the people who complain about the measure seem to strongly overlap with those who want to cut entitlements (who favor an even lower rate, chained-CPI, by the way). Make up your minds!
This article is either exacerbating general ignorance on matters economic or pushing an anti-Federal Reserve agenda. These things are of course not mutually exclusive.
i'm starting to wonder why every journalist uses the term "post-recession low/high" when describing current data. its a semantic twist that serves to perpetuate the myth of 'recovery' rather than the reality that most ppl in the world are worse off than they were in 2007-08. Truly, the only things better now than during the bubble years are financial markets, and that's only because of admittedly reckless policies from the Fed and the administration. if after trillions and trillions spent trying to revive the economy we are right back on the cusp of recession, when do they finally say, 'let's forget abt the short-term and try something else?'

Problem with Lion Brand Homespun Crochet Ruffle Scarf Pattern
I am an intermediate crocheter, but have not been actively crocheting for quite some time and would like to get back into it. I recently found a pattern on the Lion Brand website for a Crocheted Ruffle Scarf, which I thought would be a good way to get started again. I printed the pattern, however, I am unsure where to proceed after Row 4. It doesn't say whether I continue with Row 4 until I reach the length and then fasten off or whether I repeat Rows 1-4 until I reach the length and then fasten off?? The pattern is labeled as easy, and maybe I am just reading into this too much??!! Please help. Thank you.

four rows total
You just do four rows and call it quits. If your gauge in correct, the scarf should be four inches wide.

Do you get a sore shoulder while driving?
If so, wedge Headbone under your elbow. It will prop up your shoulder, prevent slouching, and greatly relieve the strain.
Does your backside get fatigued when you sit for too long?
Yes! Sit on Headbone for relief. Maybe it has something to do with pressure points, but it really helps. (Yes, Headbone is strong and supportive enough for at least an average adult to sit on. We haven't tested it for pound strength.)
Other tips
The larger end is the intended resting end, but the smaller end gives variety to other positions and may sometimes be preferred, like in airplane seats, when you need more variety of positions.
Also handy for supporting objects, too!
