Progressing through the Haze in Science and Mathematics Education Research: Contemporary Use of Spradley's Qualitative Inquiry in Two Case Studies
Spradley's developmental research sequence (DRS) has been used primarily for ethnographic studies. However, this ethnographic tool has been employed in case studies without an examination of the merits of its modification. In this article the authors discuss how adapting analytical steps of DRS to case studies can be methodologically advantageous. They found that transforming Spradley's ethnographic approach rendered it useful for articulating implicit conceptualizations in case studies, one from science education and the other from mathematics education. Investigating this issue will necessarily involve looking closely at the substantive aspects of the case studies themselves. Findings from the case studies and results from the methodological investigation are reported along with suggestions for future research.

When BP's oil started gushing into the Gulf of Mexico in April 2010 from the wellhead of the Deepwater Horizon rig, folks in five states held their breath as it headed towards the shore.
Now, folks are waiting with bated breath to see how much responsibility — monetarily — will be assessed to BP for the damage the explosion and spill did to Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama and Florida.
Although the oil stayed away from Levy County's shoreline, its effects were felt.

AKRON, Ohio (AP) -- Friends and family gathered to mourn and light candles in remembrance of a 16-year-old pregnant Ohio girl gunned down over the weekend.
The crowd gathered Monday night in Akron where Anna Karam and her unborn child died, and 19-year-old Jessica Halman was shot in the head. Police say Karam was baby-sitting early Sunday when 24-year-old David Stoddard came in the home by a back door and started firing.
Witnesses told WEWS-TV (http://bit.ly/XghVzU ) that Stoddard came looking for his ex-girlfriend, who wasn't there. Stoddard was arrested later Sunday morning at a motel. He pleaded not guilty in court Monday and is being held with a $250,000 bond.
Family members said Karam was four months pregnant. Halman was seriously injured, but there has been no new information about her condition.

Christmas Trees
Many bunnies find Christmas trees irresistible for laying underneath as well as for the occasional nibble. Both come naturally to them. As long as your Christmas tree has not been treated with flocking or a fire-retardant (ask at the tree lot about this before you make your purchase) it's safe for your bunny to chew.
Covering the tree stand with chicken wire will allow you to water the tree while preventing your rabbit from taking a sip of the sticky water beneath. If your tree skirt is a precious family heirloom, consider using a bed sheet in a festive color instead.
Holiday Lights
Like any electrical wiring, strings of holiday lights pose a hazard for rabbits. To prevent chewing, leave the bottom tier of branches free of lights. When your rabbit is out to play, either bundle the wiring in split tubing, or unplug the lights, bundle the wires and hang them from the upper branches of the tree.
Ornaments and Tinsel
Consider natural ornaments like pine cones, which are safe for rabbits to chew, for the lower branches of the tree. If glass ornaments are hung on higher branches, make sure that these are securely wired so that they can't fall off an break when a hungry rabbit tugs on the tree, or choose plastic ornaments instead.
Tinsel should not be used to trim a tree as it could cause a serious blockage if ingested.
Gift Wrap and Ribbon
Gifts should not be piled beneath the tree as foil gift wrap and plastic ribbon can cause blockages if nibbled by a curious rabbit. Instead, exercise your creativity by displaying presents on a side table near the tree, embellishing the arrangement with a centerpiece or other holiday decorations.
Candy and Treats
Holiday treats pose another potential hazard. If your rabbit exhibits a jumping tendency, be aware that he or she may be able to reach a dish of candy, nuts or other goodies a top a table. Chocolate can be toxic. Foil and cellophane wrappers can cause dangerous intestinal blockages.
As rabbit owners, we know that a cardinal rule of bunny-proofing involves limiting access to house plants, many of which are poisonous. Every holiday there is debate over the toxicity of Poinsettias.
"It's a testament to the persistence of myths," says Paul Bachman, marketing chairman of the Society of American Florists (SAF). "Poinsettias simply are not toxic. That was proven 23 years ago in scientific tests and we want to set the record straight." Like other non-food items, if ingested, the Poinsettia may cause some stomach discomfort but nothing more. According to the American Medical Association's Handbook of Poisonous Injurious Plants, other than occasional cases of vomiting, ingestion of the Poinsettia plant has been found to produce no effect in humans. Despite its continued circulation, the myth of the Poinsettia is gradually losing steam. "It may just have to run its course," says Bachman.
There's no reason for us humans to miss out on Poinsettias, as long as we exercise the same precautions we would with any other plants in our homes, by keeping them out of reach of our rabbits.
Carbon Monoxide
If you heat your home during the winter months with gas, oil, wood or coal-burning appliances, a digital carbon monoxide (CO) detector is a good investment. We have one in our rabbit room. Odorless, colorless and tasteless, CO has earned the name the "silent killer." At $40 to $50 each, a CO detector is a valuable early warning system for both you and your rabbit.

Bruce walks on five pitches.
I guess you can't fault Bruce for bing aggressive. It was a great play by the Braves infield- everyone did their job.
"This isnt stats vs scouts - this is stats and scouts working together, building an organization that blends the best of both worlds. This is the blueprint for how a baseball organization should be run. And, whether the baseball men of the 20th century like it or not, this is where baseball is going."---Dave Cameron, U.S.S. Mariner
It looked like he was safe if the lead leg would have went straight to the bag. Still not sure Wilson got him, but the ball beat Bruce and the slide looked funny.

"Since I've been with the Reds in 1989, we've never had a farm system this loaded," Bowden said. "If we were the New York Yankees and had unlimited dollars, we could have traded for Colon, (Jeff) Weaver, Rolen, (Cliff) Floyd, (Kenny) Rogers and Finley and gotten them all -- and still held onto our top five prospects. That's an amazing statement."

They told Auditorium staff that they would like to donate proceeds from their merchandise sales to a local initiative. After hearing some options, the artists chose the Auditorium's Arts Start program. The Arts Start program brings over 600 local low-income Head Start preschool students to performing arts events at UIS. Developed with funding from PNC (Bank) Foundation, the Arts Start program is a partnership of Sangamon Auditorium, the Springfield Urban League Head Start, and PNC's Grow Up Great initiative. Your gifts to this fund will add to Fleck and Washburn's gifts, enhancing opportunities for Head Start Children in the Springfield area.

"Clinton-hating, liberal-bashing misogynist Chris Matthews."
Over at Andrew Breitbart's BigGovernment.com, Matthew Vadum takes issue [1] -- and liberties -- with my description of MSNBC's Chris Matthews:
Foser is so far to the left that he thinks "Hardball" host Chris Matthews is a rabid right-winger [2] [11]. He refers to the TV talk show host as the "Clinton-hating, liberal-bashing misogynist Chris Matthews."
Note that Vadum just made up the "rabid right-winger" part. Sure, he included a footnote and link to make it look like it's something I actually wrote, but ... It's made-up. I've never described Chris Matthews as a "rabid right-winger."
I have described Matthews as a "Clinton-hating, liberal bashing misogynist." Here's why.
"Clinton-hating [3]":
Put simply, Matthews behaves as though he is obsessed with Hillary Clinton. And not "obsessed" in a charming, mostly harmless, Lloyd-Dobler-with-a-boom-box [4] kind of way. "Obsessed" in a this-person-needs-help kind of way.
More than six years ago, long before Hillary Clinton began running for president, the Philadelphia Inquirer magazine reported that, according to an MSNBC colleague, Matthews had said of Clinton: "I hate her. I hate her. All that she stands for."
Even before that, Matthews told the January 20, 2000, Hardball audience, "Hillary Clinton bugs a lot of guys, I mean, really bugs people like maybe me on occasion. I'm not going to take a firm position here, because the election is not coming up yet. But let me just say this, she drives some of us absolutely nuts."
Not that there was much chance his feelings would go unnoticed by even the most casual Hardball viewer.
Matthews has referred to Clinton as "She devil [5]." He has repeatedly [6] likened Clinton to "Nurse Ratched," referring to the "scheming, manipulative" character [7] in One Flew Over The Cuckoo's Nest who "asserts arbitrary control simply because she can." He has called her "Madame Defarge [8]." And he has described [9] male politicians who have endorsed Clinton as "castratos in the eunuch chorus."
Matthews has compared [10] Clinton to a "strip-teaser" and questioned whether she is "a convincing mom." He refers [11] to Clinton's "cold eyes" and the "cold look" she supposedly gives people; he says she speaks in a "scolding manner" and is "going to tell us what to do."
Matthews frequently obsesses over Clinton's "clapping [12]" -- which he describes as "Chinese [13]." He describes [14] Clinton's laugh as a "cackle" -- which led to the Politico's Mike Allen telling him, "Chris, first of all, 'cackle' is a very sexist term." (Worth remembering: When John McCain was asked by a GOP voter referring to Clinton, "How do we beat the bitch?" Allen reacted [15] by wondering, "What voter in general hasn't thought that?" So Allen isn't exactly hypersensitive to people describing Clinton in sexist terms.)
Matthews repeatedly [16] suggests Clinton is a "fraud [17]" for claiming to be a Yankees fan, despite the fact that all available evidence indicates that Clinton has been a Yankees fan since childhood. In April of 2007, former Washington Post reporter John Harris, who has written a book about Bill Clinton, told Matthews to his face that the attacks on Clinton over her history of being a Yankees fan were false. Harris said: "Hillary Clinton got hazed over saying she was a New York Yankees fan. It turned out, actually, that was right. She had been a lifelong Yankees fan. But people were all over [her] for supposedly embroidering her past." But Matthews doesn't let a little thing like the truth get in the way of his efforts to take cheap shots at Clinton: At least twice since Harris set him straight, Matthews has attacked Clinton over the Yankees fan nonsense, once calling her a "fraud."
Matthews has described Clinton as "witchy [18]" and -- in what appears to be a classic case of projection -- claimed [19] that "some men" say Clinton's voice sounds like "fingernails on a blackboard." In what appears to be an even more classic case of projection, Matthews has speculated [20] that there is "out there in the country ... some gigantic monster -- big, green, horny-headed, all kinds of horns coming out, big, aggressive monster of anti-Hillaryism that hasn't shown itself: it's based upon gender."
There's more, but I think you get the point.
"Liberal-bashing [21]":
In 2005, for example, Matthews said of Bush [22]: "I like him. Everybody sort of likes the president, except for the real whack-jobs, maybe on the left -- I mean -- like him personally." At the time the "real whack-jobs" who disliked Bush constituted a majority of the American public.
If Bush could do little wrong in Matthews' book, it sometimes seemed Barack Obama could do little right, as Matthews frequently ridiculed the Democratic presidential candidate for a preposterous variety of purported shortcomings. (True, Matthews also effusively praised Obama at times, often contradicting his own previous -- and future -- criticisms. Matthews rarely appears burdened by a need to maintain consistent, coherent viewpoints.)
In April, Matthews ridiculed Obama for ordering orange juice in a diner [23]. Let that sit in a moment: Barack Obama asked for a glass of orange juice in a diner, and Chris Matthews belittled him for it. That came shortly after Matthews announced that Obama's bowling form was insufficiently "macho" [24] and said [25] Obama's lack of bowling prowess "tells you something about the Democratic Party." A few weeks later, he suggested Obama was out of touch for playing pool [26]: "Playing pool, not a bad start, but it's not what most people play. People with money play pool these days." Last year, Matthews seemed to suggest [27] that Obama was a flawed candidate because he isn't "beefy" enough: "I don't see a big, beefy alternative to Hillary Clinton -- a big guy. You know what I mean? An ... every-way big guy. I don't see one out there. I see a lot of slight, skinny, second- and third-rate candidates."
More [28]. More [29]. More [30]. More [31]. More [32]. More [33]. And more [34]. Again, I could go on like this all day, but you get the point.
"Misogynist [3]":
But Matthews' questionable treatment of women extends beyond Hillary Clinton.
Matthews has described House Speaker Nancy Pelosi as "scary [35]" and suggested she would "castrate [36]" House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer. And he has wondered [37] how she could disagree with President Bush "without screaming? How does she do it without becoming grating?"
Just this week, Matthews claimed [38] there isn't a plausible female presidential candidate "on the horizon" because there aren't any "big-state women governors" -- but Washington Gov. Christine Gregoire, Arizona Gov. Janet Napolitano, Connecticut Gov. Jodi Rell, and Kansas Gov. Kathleen Sebelius all run states with populations comparable to male governors who have recently run for president, including Mitt Romney, Mike Huckabee, and Bill Richardson. How large a state does a woman have to run before she qualifies as a plausible presidential candidate to Chris Matthews? One that is twice as large as Mitt Romney's Massachusetts? Three times as large?
Last October, Matthews mused aloud [39] about a hypothetical couple trying to decide who to support for president. In Matthews' mind, the wife just wants to see "the first woman president." According to Matthews, the husband has to explain the math to his wife: "[T]he husband says, 'You know, dear, you know, this is going to kill our tax bracket. You know that tuition thing we pay every couple of years for the kids, every year, we can't do that if we get a higher tax bracket. We have to pay more money.' "
After the Des Moines Register endorsed Hillary Clinton earlier this year, Matthews suggested that the paper's "female editors and publisher" succumbed [40] to "lobbying" by Bill Clinton.
In 2000, Matthews responded to linguist Deborah Tannen's explanation of then-presidential candidate George W. Bush's efforts to appeal to women voters by saying, "So is this like the political equivalent of Spanish fly? That these seductive number of words you just drop out there and women just swoon." That led another Hardball guest, Lynn Martin -- a Republican -- to point out, "You wouldn't suggest he's seducing men."
Chris Matthews has been treating female guests as sexual objects for years. He has been judging women -- senators, presidential candidates, the speaker of the House -- on their clothes and their voices and their appearance for years. He has been referring to women as "castrating" for years. He has been applying double standards to male and female candidates for years.
This is who Chris Matthews is. He is a man who thinks that men who support women politicians are "eunuchs."
And more [41].
So, that's why I described Chris Matthews as a "Clinton-hating, liberal bashing misogynist." Because he hates the Clintons, bashes liberals, and may have a longer track record of on-air misogyny than any other media figure in America.
Your turn, Vadum.
PS: Matthews is also the guy who said [42] President Bush "glimmers" with "sunny nobility," compared Bush to Atticus Finch, said everybody likes Bush except "the real whack jobs" and repeatedly said John McCain "deserves" to be president.

Landlord tenant law concerns landlord and tenants' rights and responsibilities. Because the apartment you rent is your own personal space, the law places many limits on landlords' activities. For example, if a landlord tries to make you move without giving you enough notice, or ignores a rat infestation in your apartment, a landlord / tenant lawyer knows what options you have as a tenant. On the other hand, a landlord / tenant lawyer also helps landlords who have tenants breaking rules, such as moving out three months early or refusing to pay rent. Tenant eviction laws are very specific, with different rules in each city. If you are being evicted or if you have a tenant you want to evict, you may benefit from the services of a landlord / tenant lawyer.

Everett Parks and Recreation director Paul Kaftanski might have said it best when he called the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens an oasis in Everett.
At the arboretum's annual membership meeting in March, Kaftanski went on to say that the arboretum adds to the quality of life here.
"This is a treasure that we have, and today it's hard to fathom what we could do on this 3.5 acres," Kaftanski said.
But the arboretum's board is doing more than fathoming.
Plans are in the works for developing the last unplanted piece of property at the arboretum's south end.
Plans include a new expanded rain garden, a bog garden, a native plant border, more Japanese maples and a grove that will be a meditation area.
Oh and let's not forget the pin oak tree.
A pin oak will be planted April 11 to commemorate the arboretum's first planting 50 years ago, when a pin oak was planted April 11, 1963, in what is today Legion Park Memorial Golf Course.
Legion Park Memorial Golf Course was supposed to be the original site of the arboretum. But Everett's leaders at the time wanted a golf course. So the arboretum was moved, and today the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens is next to the golf course on Alverson Boulevard. Its size is limited to about 3.5 acres since the golf course gobbled up most of the land.
The pin oak still remains on the 10th hole of the golf course.
Though small, Everett's arboretum is a living museum, incorporating a sculpture garden and 10 theme gardens that inspire people to learn more about a variety of plants, from conifers and Japanese maples to perennials and native species.
Some of its 10 themed gardens include the Urban Tree Walk, Rock Garden, Northwest Native Plant Trail, Rain Garden, Japanese Maple Grove and the stunning 200-foot Snohomish County Master Gardener's Demonstration Border.
The arboretum also has a Viewing Mound with a water feature, a sculpture called "Fibonacci," inspired by Italian mathematician Leonardo Fibonacci, who discovered proportionate geometry found in nature.
The arboretum hosts weddings, graduations and other parties. Volunteer tour guides offer free tours every summer from June 1 through the first Saturday in September. Last year, those tours brought in about 200 people.
Now that the arboretum is about to celebrate its 50th anniversary, board member Sandy Schumacher asks, "Is the world a better place with an arboretum? I would have to say, 'yes it is.'"
Schumacher said that the anniversary is a time to reflect on the arboretum's history and to appreciate the volunteers who make it possible. But just as important is the fact that the milestone anniversary "prodded us to work on completing the arboretum," she said.
The last phase of development is called "The Completion" by board members. A model of the plan was unveiled at the March membership meeting, when about 130 people crammed into Floral Hall at Forest Park.
The model was put together by a couple of landscape architecture students from the University of Washington. The team spent months working on it, and this was their senior project, Schumacher said.
"The Completion" is estimated to cost $250,000, which includes engineering, site prep, a new path and plants. The project will be done in phases, with construction expected to be complete by 2014.
At the members' annual meeting, the Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens Foundation pledged $30,000 to begin the fundraising drive to help complete the arboretum's original footprint.
"Although the plant material and overall design is new, we are completing the vision of our founders, who in the early 1960s, sought land for an arboretum in Snohomish County," arboretum foundation board president Libbie Soden said.
"It continues to be a source of education and enjoyment for residents of Puget Sound and beyond," she said.
"We want the arboretum to remain a place of comfort and beauty," Parks director Kaftanski said.
Theresa Goffredo: 425-339-3424; email@example.com
The 50th Anniversary Commemorative Tree Planting: 10 a.m. April 11, Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens, 145 Alverson Blvd., Everett.
The public ceremony also kicks off "The Completion" project for developing the rest of the arboretum. Mayor Ray Stephanson, Paul Kaftanski, director of Everett Parks and Recreation department, and Libbie Soden, president of Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens Foundation, will help plant the pin oak.
Refreshments will follow the planting.
To help complete the arboretum, mail donations to Evergreen Arboretum &Gardens, P.O. Box 13014, Everett, WA 98206. You can also go to the website, www.evergreenarboretum.com, and select "Donate," or call 425-257-8597.

Many of your favorite stars have found themselves in some dangerous and scary situations. Keep clicking to find out the stories behind their near-death experiences:
Tracy Morgan was recently in a terrible car accident. The comedian/actor was involved in a multi-car crash leaving one person dead and Tracy in critical condition. While traveling home on the New Jersey Turnpike from a tour date in Delaware, a truck collided with Morgan's chauffeured SUV. Tracy suffered a broken femur, broken nose, and several broken ribs. Fellow comedian James McNair, who was traveling with Tracy, was killed. Two other passengers in the car were also seriously injured.

Photo: Getty Images An almost-fatal drug overdose in 1987 caused Nikki Sixx to have an out-of-body experience. The rock star basically died and came back to life after two shots of adrenalin to his heart - which inspired the song "Kick Start My Heart." Nikki cold CNN, "I saw things I shouldn't have been able to see. I saw the hotel hallway, the ambulance, the limo that was there. I couldn't have seen that because there was a sheet over me."
Photo: Getty Images Gary Busey nearly lost his life when he crashed his motorcycle while going 75 MPH. He underwent brain surgery following the accident and told Larry King that he died on the table and had an out-of-body experience including a "spiritual awakening."
Photo: Getty Images While filming the movie City Heat Burt Reynolds hurt his jaw. The injury was so painful, he was taking a prescription sleep aid and (according to a TV Guide article) was popping up to 50 pills a day. The actor eventually quit his addiction cold turkey, but as a result slipped into over an eight hour coma. Apparently during the ordeal, he had an out-of-body experience and heard his doctors say they were losing him.
Photo: Getty Images Ozzy Osbourne got into a horrifying ATV accident where the ATV landed on his chest. The rocker went into an eight-day coma and recalls seeing a "white light" while going in and out of consciousness.
Photo: Getty Images Tony Bennett's wife had to revive him by pounding on his chest after drugs almost took his life. In the 1970s, to deal with the rough time he was going through, Tony often self-medicated with cocaine and weed, which eventually led to this scary incident.
Photo: Getty Images Travis Barker almost lost his life after a terrifying plane crash. The drummer and DJ AM were leaving South Carolina after playing a show in Columbia in a private plane which did not make it off the ground while taking off. The plane ended up in flames after hitting an embankment after it skidded off the runway. Thankfully, both Travis and DJ AM made it out of the crash alive, but suffered major burns. Several other passengers and the pilot and co-pilot died in the horrible accident. Barker told Rolling Stone "I was lying next to AM as the plane was exploding, and I was screaming, 'Are we alive?'"
Photo: Getty Images While filming a scene for the movie Modern Problems in 1980, Chevy Chase got electrocuted! In the scene, Chevy was required to wear lights on his arms to simulate an airplane's landing lights. Tragically, the lights shorted out and gave Chevy the shock of his life. The worst part was as he was being electrocuted, everyone on set thought the actor was joking and let the incident continue!
Photo: Getty Images George Lucas' life almost ended at only 19 years old after a horrific car crash. The Star Wars creator had once dreamed of being a race car driver, but the accident left him fighting for his life for days right before he was supposed to graduate high school. Following the crash he was hospitalized for two weeks.
Photo: Getty Images Johnny Depp and The Rum Diaries director Bruce Robinson were on a plane when suddenly the plane shut down and the sound of the engines stopped. The actor and director both thought the plane was going to crash, but had an unexpected reaction to the scary moment. Johnny told Live Magazine, "Nobody said a word except for Bruce and I, sitting next to each other saying, 'Oh sh** This is death; I guess this is how it goes down.' Then we burst into hysterical laughter at the idea that this was how we were going to die." Thankfully, the planes engines started back up again not long after.
Photo: Getty Images Jason Priestley was involved in an almost fatal car crash while driving a race car during a practice run at Kentucky Speedway going 180 MPH. The actor crashed into a wall and suffered a concussion, broken back, nose, and feet, among other injuries. Eventually he recovered.
Photo: Getty Images In 2010 Bret Michaels was left in critical condition when doctors discovered a massive subarachnoid hemorrhage. The hemorrhage is believed to have been caused by an accident at the Tony Awards the year prior. Bret had been struck in the back of the head after a piece of the set fell on him.
Photo: Getty Images Sum 41's Deryck Whibley was hospitalized this year after years of hard drinking caused his liver and kidneys to collapse. In a recent blog post, Deryck explained that doctors had told him that he "will die" if he has one more drink and that the experience has scared him straight. He is now recovering and is choosing to focus on making new music.
Photo: Getty Images Leonardo DiCaprio's career almost ended like a scene out of JAWS when he came face to face with a great white shark! The actor was filming Blood Diamond in 2006 and while filming in the water, he got stuck in a cage with a great white. He revealed to Ellen DeGeneres on her talk show, "It was a gigantic great white. It was in the cage with me. They actually said, 'In 30 years this has never happened.'" He continued, "Half of its body was in and out, and I'm flattened down at the bottom. It was this far away and it chomped a few times, but I survived it."
What a trooper! How has he not won an Oscar yet?!

Photo: Getty Images Talk about dedication to your career. Gerard Butler nearly drowned in 2012 while filming Chasing Mavericks. The movie was centered around surfing and while in the water he was hit by a big wave causing him to be trapped in the undertow. He told USA Today, "And then I started thinking, I just wanted to scream. And I was so deep underwater. I wanted to scream 'Help, somebody!'"
Photo: Getty Images Seth MacFarlane was actually scheduled to be on American Airlines Flight 11 from Boston to Los Angeles on September 11, 2001 - the same flight which was hijacked and flown into New York City's World Trade Center. Seth had missed the flight by a mere 10 minutes.
Photo: Getty Images James Hetfield was seriously burned on stage after a pyrotechnic device struck him in 1992 during a show in Montreal. The rocker suffered second and third degree burs and if that doesn't paint a picture for you, bandmate Lars Ulrich described him as looking like "the torch that they carry up the stairs to light the Olympic fire."
Ouch!

Photo: Getty Images Keith Richards has had a number of near-death experiences. In 1965, he was electrocuted and knocked unconscious during a show. He also managed to set his bed on fire in 1971 with a lit cigarette, and only a few years later was caught in another house fire. More recently, in 2006 the rocker fell from a coconut tree and underwent brain surgery as a result.
Like a cat, he must have nine lives.

Photo: Getty Images Robert Plant got into a serious car accident while on vacation in 1975. After losing control of the car, he suffered a broken ankle and elbow, and his recovery took a few years with him at one point being in wheelchair.
Photo: Getty Images In his memoir My Appetite For Destruction, Steven Adler revealed that over his lifetime he has overdosed on drugs 28 times.
Photo: Getty Images In 2010, Josh Homme underwent knee surgery and suffered complications from anesthesia. He was reportedly declared dead on the operating table at one point. He eventually pulled through, but was on bed rest for three months following the surgery.

US Army officials said Tuesday that as part of its wide-ranging aviation restructuring, the service is preparing to cut three of the service's 13 combat aviation brigades (CAB) by 2019.
The service's active component currently fields four heavy CABs, 8 medium, and 1 with "Full-Spectrum" capabilities, but Davis Welch, deputy director of the Army budget office told reporters at the Pentagon today that "the restructure will reduce the number of aviation brigades by three in the active component while restructuring aviation brigades to optimize their efficiency and quality."
He added that under the plan, the Army's Reserve component will be able maintain its 12 aviation brigades but they "will be restructured and optimized for assault, lift and medavac missions."
The announcement comes on the heels of the Army's proposal to take all of the National Guard's Apache attack helicopters to fulfill the active army's aerial scout mission after it divests itself of the Kiowa helicopters currently fulfilling that mission.
At the time of this posting, requests for further comment from the Army were unanswered.
Overall, the Army's fiscal year 2015 request sees the budget for its aircraft fleet tick slightly upward from $4.6 billion ($5 billion requested) in 2014 to $5.1 billion, while the Apache helicopter's budget will fall from $884 million — $1 billion with Overseas Contingency Operations in 2014 — to $775 million in 2015 so it can upgrade 25 birds to the latest configuration.
There is another $416 million for 55 new Lakota helicopters, with sources saying that the service will request funding to buy 45 more Lakotas in 2016.
The Army is also slated to receive $7.5 billion of the $26 billion for the Opportunity Growth and Security Initiative, 54 percent of which will go toward operations, maintenance and training accounts, while the rest will be pointed to equipment modernization, including $500 million for Black Hawk helicopter upgrades, and more than $600 million for Apache work.
Overall however, the year-by-year budget graph that accompanied the Army's budget request showed a significant cascade down from the 2010 budget onward.
The Army is asking for $121 billion in its base budget in '15, down only $4 billion from the $125 billion enacted for 2014 — but down significantly from the $144 billion granted in '10 during the height of the fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan.
But the big cuts aren't in the base. The biggest drop is in the wartime spending accounts, which for the Army has dropped by more than half from 2011 to 2014 — going from $99 billion to $43 billion.
That said, the requested budget remains largely flat form 2014, with about $1.3 billion less in research, development and acquisition and $1.8 billion in operations and maintenance. Personnel costs remained flat at $56 billion.
Personnel costs continue to be the albatross hanging around the Army's neck, eating up 46 percent of the service's budget overall even as the service continues to shed 20,000 soldiers a year in its effort to reach 490,000 by the end of 2015. It's current end strength is about 510,000.
But those troops will have to get by with much less training than Army leadership has advocated for.
Training is expected to reach only to company level and, in some cases, battalion level in 2015, with the National Guard performing mostly company level and below training exercises due to lack of funding. The Army will only send those brigades through a full National Training Center rotation that are planning to deploy to Afghanistan or South Korea, or that are part of the 82nd Airborne's global response force. ■

I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, so I apologise if it's not.
I've just moved to Preston for uni and I was wondering if anyone could tell me if there's any places offering catch or submission wrestling in Preston? I've searched around on google and here on the forums but I can't really find anything.
I know about Gracie Barra and Sukata, I plan to check these two gyms out as well. But it seems they focus more on gi BJJ, which I'm all for but at the same time I would like to get a bit more no-gi in.
If anyone could put me in the direction that would be great and if anybody could give me a bit more info on Gracie Barra and Sukata as well then that would be really appreciated.

Andrea - from Colbert, WA
To torte a cake means to cut it into multiple layers. This is often done to add height to a cake, since you add icing, fruit and other fillers between the layers of the cake. If using a knife, place the cake on your cake circle on a turntable. While slowly rotating the turntable, move the knife back and forth through the cake to create 2-3 layers from one. If you're using a cake leveler, start with your cake on a cardboard cake circle. Measure the height you want to cut the layers, adjust the cutting edge of the leveler, then cut into the cake, using an easy sliding motion.

Developmental coordination disorder is a childhood disorder that leads to poor coordination and clumsiness.
A small number of school-age children have some kind of developmental coordination disorder. Children with this disorder may:
Developmental coordination disorder may occur alone or with
Children with developmental coordination disorder have difficulties with motor coordination compared to other children the same age. Some common symptoms include:
Physical causes and other types of learning disabilities must be ruled out before the diagnosis can be confirmed.
Physical education and perceptual motor training (combining movement with tasks that require thinking, like math or reading) are the best ways to treat coordination disorder. Using a computer to take notes may help children who have trouble writing.
Children with developmental coordination disorder are more likely to be overweight than other children their age. Encouraging physical activity is important to prevent obesity.
How well a child does depends on the severity of the disorder. The disorder does not get worse over time. It usually continues into adulthood.
Developmental coordination disorder can lead to:
Call for an appointment with a health care provider if you are concerned about your child's development.
Families who are affected by this condition should try to recognize problems early and have them treated. Early treatment will lead to future success.

Deroy Murdock: Hagel sure sounds like an anti-Semite, doesn't he?
posted at 1:46 pm on February 22, 2013 by Guy Benson
Chuck Hagel's confirmation may be a virtual fait accompli , but his critics continue to raise troubling questions about his character and preparedness for the position he seeks. Deroy Murdock enumerates a series of Hagel quotes about Jews and Israel in his column today, and asks readers to draw their own conclusions about what's in Hagel's heart. Unlike liberals, I'm very hesitant to pronounce someone a bigot based on political disagreements — and Hagel has provided explanations and disavowals on a number of the examples Murdock raises. The one comment that really bothers me, though, is this one:
Hagel tried to close USO's Haifa retreat when he ran the United Service Organizations from 1987 to 1990. The facility was highly popular among U.S. sailors, 45,000 of whom visited the Israeli port in 1990, the Associated Press reports. "Chuck Hagel said the Haifa port is costing the U.S. too much [and] that if the Jews wanted one, the Jews should do the fundraising," an unnamed supporter of the outpost told theWashington Free Beacon. "He said to me, 'Let the Jews pay for it.'" recalled Marsha Halteman, of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs, which backed USO Haifa. "I told him at the time that I found his comments to be anti-Semitic," Halteman said. "He was playing into that dual loyalty thing."
The most charitable defense of Hagel here is that he's a gruff, old-school guy from the Midwest who's long struggled to adopt appropriate verbiage when discussing Israel and its citizens. Indeed, as recently as last week, Hagel allegedly got misty-eyed when Chuck Schumer felt obliged to explain why some of his past formulations have been offensive to Jews. So is Hagel remarkably obtuse, or does he harbor some deeper issue with Jewish people? I don't presume to know the answer to that question, but it's distressing that we even have to consider it. Liberated from future accountability to voters, President Obama had a long list of potential candidates from which to select his nominee for Secretary of Defense, and this is the man he chose.

Documents: Federal indictment | FBI press release | Criminal complaint
Three Inland Empire men were formally indicted Wednesday on terrorism-related charges in federal court in Riverside by the U.S. Attorney's Office.
The men are accused of trying to join the terrorist organization al'Qaida and plotting to kill Americans overseas.
The indictment charges Ralph Deleon, 23, of Ontario, Miguel Alejandro Santana Vidriales, 21, of Upland and Arifeen David Gojali, 21, of Riverside with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists.
The indictment also says that the three men are facing additional charges of conspiring to kill American citizens outside of the United States and conspiring to use a weapon of mass destruction outside of the country.
If convicted, they each could face up to 15 years in prison.
FBI spokeswoman Laura Eimiller said the agency would not make a statement on the indictment.
"Now that the prosecution is under way, the FBI is going to decline comment and let the indictment speak for itself," Eimiller said.
U.S. Attorney's Office officials have also refused comment on the case.
The men had allegedly plotted for months to join al-Qaida in Afghanistan and planned to carry out terrorist acts on government facilities and kill members of the armed forces overseas, according to a criminal complaint filed by the FBI in mid-November.
Deleon, Santana and Gojali had hoped to join another man - Sohiel Omar Kabir, 34, of Pomona - who had already traveled to Afghanistan and was arranging contacts with the terrorist organization.
Kabir, a native of Afghanistan, served in the Air Force from 2000 to 2001.
He was arrested Nov. 16 in Afghanistan by the FBI and Army Special Forces.
David Bowdich, FBI special agent in charge of the counterterrorism division, said the men did not appear to have local targets.
"We'd never allow it to get to that point," Bowdich said in a news conference last week at FBI headquarters in Los Angeles. "We were on them for quite a while. The agents and detectives did a tremendous job in this case."
The case, which is a continuous investigation by the Joint Terrorism Task Force in Riverside, will be prosecuted by the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Central District of California.
Authorities are waiting for the fourth member of this alleged plot to be formally indicted as well, U.S. Attorney spokesman Thom Mrozek said.

Plymouth, N.H. – Nearly 1,400 degrees were awarded at Plymouth State University's 142nd commencement ceremony on Saturday, May 18. PSU President Sara Jayne Steen welcomed the guests, stating the event was a joyous one.
"Because of an extraordinary faculty and staff," Steen said, "PSU students achieve at the highest levels. These candidates are teachers, scientists, artists, health care professionals, business entrepreneurs and more. Their contributions will be enormous."
Richard H. Solomon, former President of the United States Institute of Peace (USIP), provided the commencement address and received an honorary Doctorate of Humane Letters from the institution. Solomon is considered one of the major figures in international relations over the past several decades, participating in peace agreements across the globe. He retired last year after 19 years at USIP where he oversaw its growth into a center of international conflict management.
Solomon focused on the difficulty of problems facing the world today, tempered with the impressive advance of technology and knowledge that can help overcome these issues.
"For graduating seniors, you inherit this complex legacy of the 20th century," Solomon said. "You didn't ask for this inheritance; or for the special challenge of beginning your professional careers in a time of educational debt and job uncertainty. Yet for those with education and an entrepreneurial spirit, this is a time to build careers on the promising possibilities of technological innovation and social mobility. Be agents of change. We are early in a century that will see transformative innovations that will further improve the quality of life in ways beyond the imagination of my twentieth century experience. Be risk takers. Use your twenties – before obligations of family life constrain risk taking — to exercise your insights and indulge your passions."
Class of 2013 President Stephanie Melo urged her classmates to set goals and accomplish their dreams.
"With the combination of our experiences at Plymouth State, we have what we need to fulfill our dreams," said Melo. "Take these experiences with you to pursue new goals and dreams."
Judith Ciesielski, representing graduate students, wished all of the graduates success, however they might define it, and referred to Ralph Waldo Emerson as having shaped her sense of its meaning: leaving the world a better place.
The 2013 Commencement marked the first graduation for PSU's Nursing degree program. Thirty pre-licensure and two RN-BS baccalaureate degrees were awarded.
The commencement ceremony was held under sunny skies at Currier Memorial Field in Holderness and was attended by several thousand family members and guests.

After five exhaustive days of searching by law enforcement, St. James Parish Sheriff Willy Martin Jr. said Sunday he found the body of 12-year-old Talaija Dorsey at the edge of a cane field near a wooded area on La. 3127.
The discovery comes five days after the St. James community girl was discovered missing.
"It didn't end up the way we was hoping," Martin said at a Sunday afternoon news conference announcing the discovery of the body.
She had been missing since about 7 a.m. Tuesday when a friend stopped by her Pecan Street house so the two could go to summer camp together. When her mother, Emma Dorsey, went to get Talaija from her bedroom, the child was gone.
Martin said he discovered Talaija's body behind a thick, grassy area in Vacherie at about 10:20 a.m. Sunday. He estimated her body had been there since Tuesday.
The sheriff said Dorsey's fiancé, John D. Celestine, 43, is a now a suspect in the child's death.
Celestine was named a person of interest after he was arrested Wednesday when deputies found a pair of Talaija's slippers in an out-of-use minivan at the family's home. He was booked on obstruction of justice and a count of false communications.
"We're still holding that person," Martin said of Celestine. "We're hoping that we will find evidence at the scene that will help us."
The sheriff said he would not release many details about the killing, the state of the body or the exact area where they found her.
"The person that killed her knows exactly how it looks and he won't be able to say he heard it on TV," Martin said. He added deputies are not sure if she was killed in the field or was later dumped there.
Authorities had been searching areas in St. James, Assumption and Jefferson parishes where Celestine was known to frequent. Martin said Celestine worked in Jefferson Parish and owned land in Assumption Parish.
The area where Martin found the child was part of a broader area where investigators invested much of their time, even double- and triple-checking areas that had already been searched. Martin said it was a possible route Celestine would take to work.
"We could possibly be passing really close to her and not finding her," Martin said. "That's why we kept going back and kept going back."
Martin said investigators are still running down other leads and interviewing people who may have information, including two people Martin said "we have to rule out" as possibly being involved; however, he said he doesn't consider the two, whom he did not identify, as suspects. Investigators are trying to determine where the two were at the time the girl disappeared, Martin said.
A cause of death will not be determined until an autopsy is completed. It is expected to be performed in the next day or two.
Martin said authorities closed part of La. 3127 for a few hours Sunday so investigators could work the site without having people crowd the area once word spread that Talaija's body had been found.
Martin's voice broke often during the news conference. He had to pause several times while answering questions and tried to maintain his composure while talking about a case he said had become personal for him.
"I took this picture home with me every day, put it on my kitchen table and left with it every morning," Martin said as he held up a picture of the child. "And my guys can tell you I worked as many hours as they did, and I was determined to bring this case to closure."
At Talaija's Pecan Street home, some family members gathered Sunday afternoon to remember the vibrant 12-year-old and console each other.
"We knew she wasn't going to come back alive, but we wanted the body, we wanted Talaija," Annette Butler, Talaija's cousin, said outside the home. "We wanted to have some closure."
As the hours and days continued to pass without any word from authorities, Butler said the realization began sinking in that Talaija was not going to be found alive.
She said family members worried that they would never find her, leaving them with that nagging question in their minds about what happened to her.
"Nobody knows the truth until we find Talaija's body," Butler said. "It's like a nightmare — nobody can sleep. If you go to sleep, you're jumping up, you're waking up wondering where is Talaija."
She thanked the community for their prayers and support.
"Love, it was shown," Butler said.
The family had little to say about Celestine. Dorsey has been engaged to Celestine for two years but knew him much longer, authorities have said.
Dorsey was "shell-shocked" Sunday morning after Martin broke the news to her that he found her daughter's body, Butler said. Once Martin delivered the news, word spread quickly as the large family began calling and texting each other.
Most of Talaija's large family gathered at the Mount Calvary Baptist Church on River Road, close to the Pecan Street home.
Immediate family members did not comment, but the Rev. Samuel Jones, pastor of Mount Calvary, said the family is struggling with grief in the aftermath of the news that Talaija was dead.
"It's been a rough one," Jones said. "But I'm glad we got closure."
Jones baptized Talaija and said that he's also related to her — Talaija is the granddaughter of Jones' aunt.
He said she was a happy, smiling child who regularly attended Bible study classes at the church. Her death, he said, has brought the community together.
"Me, I want to remember her as she was," Jones said.
Funeral arrangements have not been set, but family members said the funeral would be at the Mount Calvary Baptist Church where Talaija was baptized and she would be buried in the cemetery behind the church.

How to Choose a Doctor
Medical Author: Melissa Stoppler, M.D.
Choosing a new physician can be a difficult task, especially if you have moved and are living in a new community. Asking for recommendations from coworkers, neighbors, and friends is a good way to start, but ultimately you will have to decide which physician is best suited to your individual needs and situation.
Your insurance plan may restrict your choices to a group of plan-approved physicians or offer financial incentives to use plan-affiliated doctors. Always check the terms of your insurance coverage to find out whether your plan will cover visits to the physician you are considering. If he or she does not participate in your health plan, how much will you pay out-of-pocket for visits to this provider? If you have changed jobs and must decide among different health plans offered by your employer, you may want to make your choice of doctor first and then choose the health plan that covers visits to this physician.
You will also need to decide what type of physician you are looking for. Do you need a primary health care provider (a doctor who will manage your overall care and refer you to specialists when necessary)? Or do you need a specialist in a particular area?
Most practicing physicians in the U.S. both primary care physicians physicians (a doctor you would see for routine ailments such as a cold, the flu, and regular checkups) and specialists (doctors who focus on one area whom you would see, for example, for a colonoscopy, rheumatoid arthritis, IBS , multiple sclerosis, cancer, or other specific conditions) are board certified, meaning that they have completed residency training in a specific field following graduation from medical school and have passed a competency examination in that field. Primary care providers may be board certified in different areas such as, for instance, Family Medicine or Internal Medicine.
It is also possible to find out whether a physician is in good standing with state licensing agencies through a Web site run by administrators of several state medical licensure boards. The Web site Administrators In Medicine can provide information about disciplinary actions taken or criminal charges filed against physicians in many states.
Finally, you may have additional concerns when choosing a physician. These concerns should reflect your own needs and priorities The following questions can help you to define further what is most important for you:
If you still aren't sure about your choice, ask if you can make an "interview" appointment to speak with the physician about your concerns. You may have to pay a co-payment or other fee for this service, but it can be a valuable way to gather information when making your decision.

No so long ago, the computer geek (origin: Dorkus IBM-us) was confined to the back rooms and basements of companies everywhere. White dress shirts (sleeves optional), thin black ties and horn-rimmed glasses were standard issue. Mainstream social acceptance? Not so much.
Over each succeeding decade, however, geeks have crept out of their shells, changed their look and gained more acceptance in business and in society. The results of which can be seen today: Geeks and their much-loved tech have thoroughly invaded the mainstream.
Let's take a tour through the ages, shall we?

Beyonce talks about keeping off baby weight
Listen to Beyonce on iHeartRadio
Beyonce is admitting that even she has to work at keeping herself in shape. Covering the April issue of "Shape" magazine, the star reveals how she's managed to keep off the almost 60 pounds she gained during her pregnancy.
In a behind-the-scenes video of the cover shoot, Beyonce tells "The Insider" that she's "not a person that is naturally very thin" and that she's had to work at maintaining her body after dropping most of the baby weight within months.
She adds that while scheduling a concert within three months of giving birth is something she would never do again, dancing has helped to keep her active. But Bey says that her diet and exercise routine isn't necessarily for everyone and that women should just "be healthy" and "be happy with the beautiful things" that make them unique.

The Twitter war between Justin Bieber and Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney rages on.
After the pair got into a verbal tussle on the social networking site on Tuesday, thousands of Beliebers have bombarded Patrick's page with threats and insults.
PLAY IT NOW: Justin Bieber Opens Up On Split From Selena Gomez
The musician initially seemed to have fun with the attack from Justin's fans (re-Tweeting their oft-misspelled rants) but took the bizarre feud to a new level when he changed his Twitter name to Justin Bieber, and replaced his own photo with a picture of the "Beauty and the Beat" singer rocking hipster frames (similar to his own).
Patrick also began Tweeting using the 18-year-old singer's catchphrase, "Swag," when replying to hundreds of angry pro-Justin Tweets.
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Grammys 2013: The Winners
"In order 2 give u guys full swag I have changed my stage name to Justin Bieber," the 32-year-old drummer Tweeted on Saturday.
"I luv all u! I need to get my beauty swag. Swag you guyz later! - Justin," he later added.
Carney even Tweeted a photo of a Justin Bieber toothbrush with the caption, "Bout to swag my teeth."

On Sunday, however, Patrick seemed to have abandoned his "swag," as he reverted back to his own name and Tweeted, "Justin is gone now. DNA recombo unsuccessful. I will try again soon though!"
VIEW THE PHOTOS: Hollywood's Infamous Celeb Feuds
Justin, who is currently on tour in Ireland, has yet to respond to Patrick's Twitter name change.
As previously on AccessHollywood.com, the fight began after Justin Tweeted, "The black keys drummer should be slapped around haha," to his 34 million followers on Tuesday night.
The Canadian pop star was up in arms over comments Patrick made to a TMZ paparazzo on Monday night, who asked if Justin should feel snubbed by the Recording Academy's lack of Grammy nominations.
"He's rich, right? Grammys are for like music, not for money ... and he's making a lot of money," the drummer -- whose band took home four awards at Sunday's Grammys -- told TMZ. "He should be happy."

A crane driver who fell to his death at a Grocon construction site in central Melbourne has been described as a "wonderful man" by his co-workers.
The 59-year-old father, Billy Ramsay, fell 10 storeys to his death from scaffolding at the $290 million Emporium project, on the site of the former Myer Melbourne Lonsdale Street store, at the corner of Elizabeth street, just before 7.40am.
The central Melbourne development was the site of a union blockade last year.
All Grocon sites have stopped work for the day, as is the custom when there is a death on site.
Construction Forestry Mining and Energy Union state secretary John Setka said that union members were in mourning for Mr Ramsay, his wife and his three children.
He was a very experienced crane driver, who had been in the industry since the 1980s and the Builders Labourers Federation days.
"He worked on cranes most of his life," Mr Setka said.
One of Mr Ramsay's sons is an official with the Victorian Plumbing Trades Employees Union.
"It just goes to show how dangerous our industry is," Mr Setka said.
Mr Ramsay's workmates were today going through "a shocking time," he said.
Grocon boss Daniel Grollo described the incident as a terrible tragedy that had saddened the entire workforce.
''He was a well-liked and respected member of our team and our thoughts are with his family, friends and his co-workers,'' he said.
Mr Grollo said support and counselling had been offered to staff. Grocon would work closely with investigating authorities, he said.
Asked if he was surprised the death had happened on a Grocon building site, Mr Setka declined to comment. "I just don't want to speculate," he said.
Mr Setka said it was the union's role to look after worker safety.
"Ted Baillieu always has a go at us, reckons we are a bit too militant on safety,'' he said. ''Well, you don't hear from him when a worker gets killed."
Mr Setka said the union was not blaming Grocon for the death.
Grocon will now conduct a safety audit on all of its sites, Mr Setka said, as always happened when there was a death in the industry.
He said Mr Ramsay would have been involved in the 16-day dispute between the CFMEU and Grocon, which saw the Lonsdale Street building site shut down amid huge police presence
"Today we are mourning the loss of a great worker and a wonderful man," said Mr Setka.
Police and emergency services were at the scene on Monday.
WorkSafe will also investigate, and police prepare a report for the coroner.
