The unpredicted rise of motorcycles: A cost benefit analysis
This article examines the consequences, for Paris, of the increase in two-wheel motor vehicle (2WMV) traffic (measured in vehicle/km). Our study reveals that, between 2000 and 2007, the subway's (Métro) share in total inner-Paris travel increased by 13.6%, the RER's share by 10.3% and the SNCF's share by 20.5%. These three means of transport account for 58% of daily travel. On the other hand, the bus share has decreased by 16% and that of cars by 23.7%. Private motor vehicles represent 37.3% of total travel. Looking at road traffic, where public transport (buses) and private motor transport compete for the use of limited road space, private motor vehicles account for 91.5% and public transport 8.5% of total travel. The 2WMV share in Paris traffic increased by 36% between 2000 and 2007, with 2WMVs now accounting for a share twice as large as that of buses. A survey has shown that 100 million additional passenger kilometres were made by 2WMV in 2007 compared to 2000. 53% of this increase comes from people shifting to 2WMV from public transport and 26.5% from private cars. The remaining 20% is attributable to the increased use of 2WMVs by those already owning such vehicles in 2000. Is the growth in the share of 2WMV traffic in Paris beneficial to the community? This shift in the means of transport generates time savings of [euro]293 million and increases owners' vehicle usage costs by [euro]49 million. The cost of accidents is increased by [euro]49 million and the negative consequences in terms of pollution are estimated at [euro]22.6 million. The welfare impact of the government revenue change is negative and equal to [euro]4.7 million. In total, the gain for the community is therefore around [euro]168 million. Accident costs are the key issue. The fact that there are on average 21 2WMV fatalities in Paris (average 2006-2007) for a means of transport accounting for 16% of passenger/km made every day in Paris offers a striking contrast to the 6 (average 2006-2007) fatalities concerning cyclists which account for a mere 0.1% of trips. The massive shift to 2WMV has taken place without any public policy support. Public policy could easily further improve the 2WMV cost-benefit balance by taking measures that would decrease the number of accidents.

Concept Of Beauty
Anthropology, much enthrallment to my cravings to seek knowledge, has invited me to reflect on any certain area which might have sparked interest and curiosity. Thus, I center my reflections to the 'concept of beauty'. The idea had only come into inception through a video shown in class which portrayed a brand of 'beauty' through the distinct meaning of it to its subscribers.
Beauty, rendered in dictionaries (Dictionary.com, 2011) as the 'quality in a thing or a person that gives intense pleasure or deep satisfaction to the mind' is a much contested term in today's dynamic world. It is not only subjective and relative but people from different cultures regard it in different ways restricted to the group's/individual's subjective meanings. With respect to the video shown in class in this subjective analysis only two concepts of beauty would be held for comparison since involving too many concepts around the globe would not allow a healthy analysis or a cohesive written piece.
"Beauty is not one's own, but a reflection of one's culture." (Jain, 2005)
'Beauty' has impacted many cultures with regard to women of their culture, reflecting the patterns of gender and influences of gender on those cultures. Beauty is not a universal concept that many earlier inscriptions would call it; it's rather a much reflective term specific within the specific culture's manner only. There is a vast difference between what 'beauty' is referred to in different cultures restricted to their own regions and cultures. Like Japan's beauty is amazing skin which is embraced with the prevalent use of 'nightingale droppings' which is a face wash. In Burma, the concept of 'long necks' is the beauty standard, thus brass rings are placed on their necks to make them elongated. In Ethiopia, scarring of a girls stomach is defined as 'her way of attracting men' which is a beauty oriented concept. In Mauritania, 'big curves' in a woman's body symbolizes the concept of beauty which is contrastingly distinct than the standards set out by the West. Traditional Tattoos on lips and chins are made by the Polynesian women which is their concept of beauty. In the Middle East the concept of veiling signifies beauty of their women, projecting the unseen and mysterious look being the source of attraction for their future husbands who would be the only ones to have seen their wives. In South Asia, the use of turmeric, henna, ubtan and now a much commercialized item 'fair & lovely' is defined in terms of beauty for them which is the 'white complexion'. While in West, the concept of beauty is all about being thin, having extensions on hair, cosmetic surgeries, tattoos etc. (show, 2008)
The video had shown the ritual of lip plates which had to be placed in the lower lips of women in South Africa which was their own definition of beauty, as it was revealed that the bigger the plate was the more beautiful you were in the tribe. (YouTube, Concept of Beauty!, 2011) While in comparison the additional video seen for comparison, is from the dove campaign which depicts the use of make-up, adobe Photoshop and much glamour which is the trademark for the western (media) beauty concept. (YouTube, 2011) In both the cultures we see differences at the bottom till up, but their own definition of beauty matters the same.
These two concepts, belonging to same time, same human beings, are so different and separate from each other. It is only, within that culture that the beauty concept prevails and holds importance to them. It is really important in the context of Anthropology to know every aspect of a concept because eventually it will turn out that each one of them held a different meaning and impact.. It is thus recommended even if one is a student of Anthropology or not, that they should not hold objections or opinions regarding it since only the ones belonging in that culture can understand it.

Kopecky scores game-winner as Blackhawks beat Flyers 6-5 in Stanley Cup Game 1

Kopecky scores game-winner as Blackhawks beat Flyers 6-5 in Stanley Cup Game 1
CHICAGO - The Chicago Blackhawks and Philadelphia Flyers waged a Stanley Cup opener that was at times wild and sloppy, a high-scoring, up-and-down game with five lead changes and a winning goal from an unlikely hero.
Tomas Kopecky, scratched in the previous five games and playing because of an injury to Andrew Ladd, took a great pass from Kris Versteeg in the third period and scored from a tough angle past backup goalie Brian Boucher to send Chicago to a 6-5 victory Saturday night.
"I kind of knew he was going to pass it once he got around. I kind of got it on a long reach and I saw him come out and before the game we were talking about both goalies," Kopecky said.
The Blackhawks took advantage of starter Michael Leighton and Boucher to grab the early lead in the series.
"They challenge the puck a little bit, so I was just kind of a little patient and I just slid it in," Kopecky said of his goal.
The Blackhawks took the first step toward ending their 49-year championship drought and found out what they knew going in—it's going to be a difficult series against a gritty Philadelphia team on a remarkable run.
"They came out strong, they were playing really physical," Chicago forward Kris Versteeg said. "We had to match them, and once we did that, I think we did well."
On this night, pucks seemed to find the net as often as they did sticks as both teams had trouble with control.
"The ice is below average," Philadelphia's Scott Hartnell said.
"It's really chippy. A lot of snow accumulates really fast, so after the first couple of minutes you don't see those nice crisp passes and things like that. It's hot outside and humid and stuff like that so hopefully they'll be able to do a better job for Game 2, the ice guys."
Game 2 is Monday night at the United Center.
"You lose the first game of the Stanley Cup finals and it's hard to sit here and thumb through the positives right now," Flyers coach Peter Laviolette said. "We'll take a look at it tonight and tomorrow. We'll be ready to go."
Kopecky scored from the left side and beat Boucher at 8:25 of the third. Boucher entered the game after Leighton was pulled in the second period after giving up five goals on 20 shots.
"We were a little bit too loose in front of our net, and we left too many point-blank opportunities, at times we had men there," Laviolette said.
"We've got to be a little bit better defensively than we were."
The Flyers failed to hold three one-goal leads.
"A lot of action. Shootout at the OK Corral," Chicago coach Joel Quenneville said. "Things settled down as the game progressed. Certainly, I don't think anybody envisioned 5-5 heading into the third period."
Danny Briere had a goal and three assists and Hartnell had a goal and two assists for the Flyers.
Chicago's Troy Brouwer scored two goals, the second putting the Blackhawks ahead 5-4 in the second period and prompting the Flyers to replace Leighton.
Brouwer, assisted on both scores by Marian Hossa, said that nerves may have played a role in some of Chicago's sloppy play, especially early. The Blackhawks hadn't played in five days and the Flyers had a four-day layoff since wrapping up the conference titles.
"For me, I just wanted to be ready. Our line's been playing well. ... We want to be a dangerous line every time we're on the ice," Brouwer said.
"I wanted to have a good game and really get some confidence for the series."
Ville Leino, Blair Betts and Arron Asham also scored the Flyers.
Dave Bolland had a short-handed, breakaway goal for the Blackhawks, and Patrick Sharp and Versteeg also scored for Chicago.
The Blackhawks are in their first final series since 1992 and are aiming for the franchise's first championship since 1961. The Flyers, who last made the finals in 1997, are shooting for their first title since the Broad Street Bullies won the second of two straightchampionships in 1975.
The Flyers weren't too bullish Saturday night. They played the entire game without a penalty.
Brouwer's second goal, on a pass from Hossa who reversed himself behind the net, came from the left circle with 4:42 left in the second, sending ex-Blackhawks goalie Leighton to the bench.
Leighton had been brilliant since taking over in the second round. He entered the game with a 6-1 record, including three shutouts, after replacing an injured Boucher in the Eastern Conference semifinal series against the Boston Bruins. Leighton entered with a 1.45 goals-against average and save percentage of .948.
Chicago's Antti Niemi made 27 saves for the win.
The Flyers scored a late goal in each of the first two periods. Asham converted from the left circle after a cross-ice pass from Briere with 1:11 remaining in the second, tying it at 5-5.
Fourth-liner Betts picked up a loose puck after it came off the boards when the Blackhawks couldn't control it, skated into the left circle and fired it past Niemi for his first playoff goal, putting the Flyers back in front 4-3 in the second.
But a little more than two minutes later, Versteeg got his own rebound and tied it after Kopecky had skated behind the net.
The Flyers capitalized in the closing seconds of the first when Briere fired a shot from the slot, hustled toward the net and scored on the rebound for his 10th goal of the playoffs, stunning the Blackhawks with just 27 seconds left in the period for a 3-2 lead.
But former Flyers forward Sharp quickly got the Blackhawks even.
On a break, with Hossa on the other side of the ice, Sharp held onto the puck and fired from the right circle, beating Leighton just 71 seconds into the second period and tying the game.
The Flyers, behind four shots from Briere, had a 17-9 advantage in the opening period, showing that they have the offensive quickness to match the Blackhawks.
Bolland took the puck away from defenceman Braydon Coburn at centre ice, started his breakaway, and his shot struck Leighton before finding its way into the net. Bolland's second short-handed goal of the playoffs gave the Blackhawks a 2-1 lead.
But after Chicago's third penalty of the opening period, the Flyers converted on the power play. Flyers defenceman Chris Pronger drove a shot from the high slot, and Hartnell scored on the rebound to make it 2-2.
On Philadelphia's first goal, Leino directed the puck toward the crease from the left circle. Niemi blocked it and then it apparently deflected off Chicago's Niklas Hjalmarsson and went in just 6:38 into the game to give the Flyers the early lead.
The raucous crowd of 22,312 at the United Center wasn't quieted for long.
Just 68 seconds later, Hossa made a nice backhanded pass from the right circle to Brouwer in the circle. From high in the slot, he rifled it past Leighton to tie the game.

The UBS trader in London at the center of a massive $2.3 billion trading loss was sentenced to seven years in prison today.
The former UBS trader, Kweku Adoboli, 32, was found guilty on two counts of fraud after a 10-week trail. A jury found him not guilty on four other charges related to accounting fraud.
Adoboli made news last September when UBS revealed one of its London-based traders made unauthorized trades that resulted in $2.3 billion loss for the company.
Adoboli took trading risks far beyond what was authorized at the bank, prosecutors argued. At one point last summer his bets exposed the bank $12 billion in losses even though his unit was only authorized to risk $100 million intra-day and $50 million overnight.
During the trial Adoboli's lawyers argued that the risks were not taken for the trader's own financial benefit, rather that they were done to make the bank money.
But the argument wasn't strong enough to keep the trader out of jail. A judge told Adoboli today that "There is a strong streak of the gambler in you ... You were arrogant enough to think that the bank's rules for traders didn't apply to you," according to a Reuters report.
The Adoboli scandal hit an already vulnerable UBS which has been at the center of several major risk-management problems. The Swiss bank has been busy trying to repair its reputation which has been hurt by trading scandals, tax evasion schemes, subprime mortgage writedowns and auction rate securities litigation.
The trading loss resulted in the resignation of its then CEO Oswald Grübel who had been the helm since 2009. The bank named Sergio P. Ermotti interim CEO as it searched for a replacement. However, UBS later announced Ermotti would remain head of the bank.
Since taking over Ermotti has announced some major changes in the bank's strategy including a significant downsizing of its investment banking and trading businesses. Last month the Swiss bank said it would eliminate around 10,000 jobs in an effort to move away from its investment banking activity and focus on wealth management.
Other banks are making similar moves including Deutsche Bank whose co-CEOs announced this year that the bank would be downsizing investment banking activities resulting in 1,900 job cuts. Swiss-rival Credit Suisse has announced similar cost-cutting measures.

What Is New York City's Spiciest Dish?
Today is, apparently, national hot and spicy food day, and you're not properly celebrating if your meal isn't making you feel like you're about to spontaneously combust. Where, you ask, should you go in this city for volcanic heat?
One surefire way to embrace the burn is to order a green papaya salad from a decent Thai restaurant and ask the kitchen to make it Thai hot. Thai chili builds wickedly and seems to be enhanced by the tart lime that permeates many Thai dishes, and without the soothing mitigation of something like coconut milk or rice, neither of which come with green papaya salad, you'll eventually feel like your insides are liquefying. Try versions at Zabb Elee and Pure Thai for proof.
Szechuan peppercorns lead to a numbing sensation, but add enough of them, and they'll make you feel like you're breathing fire. They're kicked up significantly for the ma po tofu at Mission Chinese, but if you want them in slightly more authentic fare, good bets are Xi'an Famous Foods--where the cooks will add enough spice to your hand-pulled noodles that they're no longer even pleasant--Lan Sheng or Szechuan Gourmet up in Midtown, or Spicy & Tasty out in Flushing.
Like Thai heat, Indian heat builds, though it's underscored by earthiness rather than brightness. The most obvious place to find this kind of fare is, perhaps, Brick Lane Curry House, where the kitchen turns out a phaal so packed with dry heat, it's devoid of all other flavor. Order it, and it will probably ruin the rest of your meal. For slightly more balanced spice, head around the corner from the East Village Brick Lane to Sigiri, a Sri Lankan joint that serves dishes similar in flavor profile to south Indian cuisine that will definitely make you sweat.
If you like your spicy food more American-centric, you could also go check out the Peaches Hot House hot chicken, where you'll find Nashville-style chicken inundated with cayenne.
Do you know of a spot that serves hotter food than those we mentioned? Tell us about it in the comments.

Opera legend Maria Callas has been a talent many have sought to bring to the big screen, with a couple of biopics brewing in the past few years including one by Niki Caro that needs script work and has Eva Green on board, and another with Eva Mendes attached to star. However, before either of those projects come to fruition, it looks like Callas will first be played by Paz Vega in Olivier Dahan's "Grace Of Monaco" starring Nicole Kidman as "Rear Window" actress turned Monaco princess, Grace Kelly.
The actress/model joins Kidman and "La Vie En Rose" helmer Dahan in tackling Arash Amel's Black List script, which is set in 1962 when French prime minister Charles De Gaulle gave Monaco's Prince Rainer III, Kelly's husband, six months to change its laws that allowed it to become a tax haven. Kelly, however, managed to maneuver behind the scenes to avoid political troubles with the help of confidante Callas — who, at the time, was partnered with shipping magnate Aristotle Onassis, an advisor to Rainer III.
The casting marks a top year for Vega who has just completed work on Pedro Almodovar's comedy "I'm So Excited." No word just yet on when "Grace Of Monaco" will begin lensing but this smaller piece of casting surely suggests that it's moving forward steadily. [Variety]


text: Activists gathered at the state Capitol to denounce proposed regulations on the booming medical marijuana industry. The subject of the ire: House Bill 1284, which would require dispensaries to be licensed with both state and local governments and make them responsible for growing most of the pot they sell. "Do not be fooled," attorney Rob Corry told activists before the hearing (via The Denver Post). "Some elements of the government are trying to take away your constitutional rights." Importantly, the bill would give local governments the authority to ban dispensaries in their communities. But some members of law enforcement think the bill doesn't go far enough. Adams County District Attorney Don Quick argues that dispensaries were not intended to be covered by Amendment 20, which made medical marijuana legal in 2000. "The voters back in 2000 said you can either grow it yourself or have a primary care giver grow it for you, and that caregiver has substantial responsibility for this patient," he says (via 9News). Lawmakers ultimately decided to delay a committee vote on the bill until next week. In the meantime, read 5280 senior editor Luc Hatlestad's intimate profile of the issue's most high-profile attorneys, Rob Corry and his wife, Jessica Peck Corry.

Remember how Mark Shuttleworth justified moving the window titlebar widgets to the left by claiming the space freed up on the right side could now be used for something else? On his blog, Shuttleworth unveiled what, exactly, Ubuntu's plans are: window indicators, or 'windicators'. In a nutshell, it comes down to having a tray area in every window.

I don't think so. I believe I understood your post correctly. You seemed to be saying "Linux developers are only just catching up and don't like to admit it; ALSA and PulseAudio aren't unique or special." Care to enumerate exactly what point I missed?

Boutgueray, 42, heads Anwar Invest, a $350 million (revenues) Moroccan investment holding company with interests in food, property, energy and logistics. Anwar Invest employs more than 4,000 people through 20 different subsidiary companies. After running a couple of wholesale outlets owned by his father, Boutgueray struck out on his own in 1994 at the age of 22 by founding Stock Pralim, a company that imported and distributed confectionaries, cleaning products and canned food. In 2004 the company began manufacturing its own brand of fruit juices, biscuits and pasta. Another subsidiary of the group, Anwar Development Company develops low-cost housing in Morocco. In March, he announced plans to construct a Cement factory in Laayoune, Morocco. Construction will begin in September.

Some how, I ended up owning zero plain black skirts. That's like not owning jeans or a white tee. (Does a tutu count? I have a black ruffled tutu.) The search for a black, wear-to-work skirt unearthed this beauty from AGB. It falls at the natural waist, a major plus for any woman who is tired of her middle showing when she lifts her arms. It has cute little rows of buttons on the front (squee!). The back has shapely seaming and pleats for movement. The price? Under $30 at Macy's. Happy dancing time! The skirt is available in sizes 4-16 and you can even get it in blue.

text: Unique rich balm with a combination of natural ingredients that leaves dry, rough skin feeling silky, soft and supple Pamper your feet with this sensational, nourishing and cooling formula Contains Chinese Mint for revitalising tired feet Result: feet feel silky soft and supple, while your whole body benefits from the care you devote to your feet Tao is an ancient Chinese philosophy based on harmony and union. The symbol of Yin and Yang is widely known. Two contrasting yet complementary forces: day and night, male and female, hard and soft, action and non action. In our 21st century lives, we are bombarded with more stimuli than ever before. This profusion of stimuli, Yang, creates an imbalance, which leads to stress. By performing our grooming rituals attentively and with true focus, we direct our attention inwards, thus bringing peace to Yin, our spirit. Tao (literally the way) thus guides us towards deep relaxation. In the sixth century BC, Lao Tze (now written in China as Laozi) wrote the Book of the Way and Virtue, or Tao Te Ching. This work is the basis of Taoism. This book and its many translations contain a great deal of ancient yet still contemporary Chinese wisdom. One of the most cited quotes is: even a journey of 1,000 miles begins with a single step. This inspired Rituals in the development of Lao Tze: a rich, silkysoft cream to intensively care for and soften your feet. The combination of refreshing Chinese Mint and nourishing Yi Yi Ren make Lao Tze a special treat for the feet. And if you look after your feet properly, you will feel the benefits in your whole body. 75ml

Hong Kong-based Interasia Auctions is a pre-eminent auctioneer of China and Asian stamps and postal history, building upon principals Jeffrey Schneider and Cecilia Vong's 30 years of experience, expertise and marketing acumen in China and Asian philately, proven track record of obtaining the best material and highest prices for China, Hong Kong, Thailand and other Asia, and long-standing personal relationships with the major collectors throughout the World. This along with its twice a year auctions in Hong Kong -- the centre of Asian philately -- bringing together buyers and sellers from Asia and North America and Europe, are vital elements in making Interasia Auctions the leading auction firm for China, Hong Kong and Asian stamps and postal history. Dr. Schneider, an internationally recognised expert in Chinese and Asian stamps and a senior member of the BPA Expertising Committee, has handled many of the noteworthy collections to come to market in the last generation, including the renowned Beckeman, Hock, Ireland, Ellery Denison, Richard C.K. Chan, and M.F. Huang collections. Ms. Vong, who speaks Cantonese and Mandarin as well as English, has developed many personal contacts with important collectors in Mainland China, one of the world's fastest growing stamp markets, as well as Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"I'm Sorry." Why?
7 comments:
- BrandonSeptember 6, 2010 at 1:31 PM
Wow, that's harsh. She obviously isn't very familiar...maybe she was at a loss for words...or maybe saying sorry for asking "what makes you qualified for such a position?", but then again maybe she wasn't.
I think asking "Why are you sorry, I'm happy as myself." would be great. - BrandonSeptember 6, 2010 at 1:53 PM
After thinking about this a bit, it's really not that uncommon. To be honest, I've probably heard this at least 20 times...right or wrong, it's kind of a common "courtesy" that is uttered when you first tell someone.
ReplyDelete Aaron Likens
Awesome! This blog will be of real help to me getting first hand information about Aspergers. I have so many questions in mind when I work with people with Autism.
Congratulations for creating awareness to the public and still its a long way to go to make people understand what it means.
Aaron I am a special educator working in India with all types of neurological impairments and Autism has always been too complex to understand because of the behaviour seen in the people which is not acceptable in the society.
What do you think of Sensory Integration for that behaviour
SadiyaI hear this often when I talk of my boys and used to be offended as well. You are correct, this is the perfect opportunity for educating people.
I actually think that people still perceive an autism diagnosis as something with no cure or hope. They perceive it in the same way as if you were to proclaim that you had cancer....no hope. Cancer survival commercials are everywhere. Aids awareness is everywhere. Autism awareness, unfortunately, is just now being focused on because of the rise.
I will never apologize or be sorry for you or either of my boys. I simply reply with, "Don't be sorry. My son has blonde hair, blue eyes, a beautiful smile and autism."
But you asked a specific question. You asked, "please tell me why YOU are sorry" so I am guessing you want my (and other readers) response to this. I am not sorry for you Aaron. I am proud of who you are and even more proud to know you and even call you friend. But...I am very sorry for the anxiety that you have to endure every day.
I would like to hear more about the times when you are "happy as can be and have a wonderful time lost in thought."
I know that Robbie really enjoys his 'happy, lost in thought' time but he can never explain where he was, what he was thinking or why it made him happy. Or maybe it's just none of my business! lolIf it's me in that situation, I will not freeze at all. Rather, I will ask her a question on what does she mean by that. Then you can respond by either carefully correcting her if she is wrong, acknowledging what she says, or ask a question by trying to summarize what you just heard and see if you are right. Sure... a lot of that has to do with my instinct as an OT. But, if you are unsure what a person meant, ask questions is usually a pretty safe bet so that you can understand what the other person says better!
As for the scenario you described, I had that happened to me several times when I disclosed my diagnosis to my OT classmates. Although "I am sorry" didn't help much, BUT I took a step back and tried to understand their intent (and this is VERY important for individuals with autism to do this!). That was when I knew that they tried to do what they could to help... and that they were also shocked, too! Then, I continue to vent how overwhelmed I felt and the battle I was fighting in the midst of school. To this day, I was NEVER angry with my classmates who said this kind of thing to me.

Walk in the Park Improves Health
A Health & Science article in The Washington Post put a spotlight on the benefits of nature moments. It examined Robert Zarr's "innovative community health program," DC Parks Rx, which is "committed to combating the woes of urban living by prescribing time outdoors."
Zarr, a pediatrician, is convinced that a "growing body of scientific evidence" indicates "that many of the chronic scourges of city life can be prevented or alleviated by reconnecting with nature."
How does communing with nature help?
…Suicide and the Lifeline of Your Spiritual Authority
Sadie took her life on Christmas Day last year, according to the Dallas Morning News, and her story suggests that doom and gloom thinking can be contagious.
Sadie had joined an online chat group of teenagers talking about self-harm – a community of silent co-sufferers hidden behind the veil of Internet privacy laws.
She had joined out of compassion, hoping to offer comfort and support to those struggling. Instead, the negative environment consumed her. Sadie quickly became overwhelmed and took her own life.
…Escape the painful consequences of sin
My wife wasn't being mean. She was trying to get me to employ the spiritual understanding to free myself that I utilize in helping others. Yet, instead of accepting her words as intuitive and constructive, I smugly thought, "Well, if that's what she thinks, I just won't tell her the next time I feel pain."
…A Powerful Way To Beat Depression
Their admissions added to the list of celebrity disclosures. Carrie Fisher, Angelina Jolie, and Christina Ricci have all shared similar stories. Yet, there is hope for these women and for everyone.
Several years ago, I attended a news briefing where the Wave III Baylor Religion Survey was unveiled. The survey confirmed what I have been discovering: Improved mental health is found through greater spiritual awareness.
…Do You Honestly Need More Evidence
I'd reached out to pet his dog, but pain had stopped me before I could raise my arm even an inch.
At that moment, although I didn't have a physician's diagnosis, I knew it was time to receive treatment. So, I made a call. I phoned a friend, a fellow Christian Science practitioner, and asked for prayerful help.
"You did what?" You might ask, "What about the needed treatment? Where's the research and scientific data showing the effectiveness of prayer?"
…You Quit, You Lose – We Do Too
When I inquired how he was able to stay focused during everything he'd been through, our new Ranger replied, "I held to one simple thing."
I asked, "What was that?"
He said, "I don't quit."
We all have different strengths and abilities. And, perhaps, you won't be applying my nephew's Never-Give-In attitude on military battlefields or under extreme assessments, but you can in other situations.
…Emmy Nominee, Escape Fire – and How I Escaped Pain
The filmmakers of Escape Fire realize that society desperately needs a paradigm shift when it comes to providing people with better healthcare. The film focuses on the problems in our healthcare system and offers alternatives to the traditional treatments most Americans are familiar with.
Healthcare is important to me as a Christian Science practitioner. When it comes to helping others through prayer, I feel that I've found my calling. I'm grateful for the opportunity to help and heal. I also appreciate it when others help me find relief.
Two years ago, as I stood outside and reluctantly prepared to mow my yard, my neighbor's yardman pulled up with his trailer full of yard equipment. I was reluctant to begin working because my back was aching. It had been hurting for several weeks and I was having trouble bending over.
While watching the yardman drive his riding mower off the trailer, I thought perhaps he could help me. I didn't realize just how much help he would be.
…Do You Love Enough To Heal Your Dog And Cat? To Bring An Elephant To Tears?
Cavan Sieczkowski, in an HuffingtonPost article, wrote of the rescue attempt in India, "For 50 years, Raju the elephant was abused, held shackled in spiked chains and forced to live off scraps from passing tourists."
The rescue team, armed with fruit, spoke softly to Raju and reassured him that they were there to help. Once Raju felt their love, tears poured down his face. Sieczkowski quotes one of the team leaders, "It was an emotional moment and everyone was more motivated to get him on the truck and to safety."
The rescuers' efforts paid off. Raju is now living comfortably at an Elephant Conservation and Care Center. His physical wounds are being treated and he is being prepared to meet other elephants at the center.
Love motivated Raju's rescue. It is also love that impels you and me to care for the emotional and physical needs of our household pets.
However, not only does love motivate you to help, love motivates you to heal.
…Why You Need Love To Be Healthy
The "different" involved three simple words. As we slowly made our way around the accident, it came to me to silently say, "I love you," to everyone I saw. This was not going to be easy while driving the busy freeways and streets of Houston.
At first, I was just mouthing words each time I looked at another driver, a passenger in a vehicle, or someone walking out of a store. However, within a short period of time, the words began to mean something. I exchanged tossing out stale I love you's for heartfelt statements.
Fifteen minutes after we'd maneuvered around the truck and dirt, the anger and frustration faded. I was conscious of a wonderful peace and joy as my attempts at loving others turned into meaningful moments.
…Why You Can Stand Up And Live Like An All-Star After Being Dumped, Left Out, Or Forgotten
All the teams were seated around the infield of the Little League Baseball field. My twin brother, Kevin, and I were decked out in our uniforms, sitting and laughing in our team's cluster between the pitcher's mound and third base.
It was All-Star selection day. My heart raced in anticipation.
The league was made up of ten, eleven, and twelve year olds. Kevin and I were twelve.
The names of the selected players began to be called out over the loud speakers. Johnny was first. When he heard his name, the new All-Star jumped up and stood on the first base line close to home plate. Parents watching from the bleachers clapped and cheered.
I knew Johnny would be an All-Star. He was an excellent hitter. I anxiously wondered, "When will my name be called?"
The selection process proceeded and player after player lined up next to Johnny. After a few minutes, my question switched to a nervous, "Will my name be called?"

scraplifted the title that joyce had in the terrific title tips in 7/31 nl... thanks joyce for the instructions... just couldnt get the gradient to work so got tired and gave up
cc much appreciated
these are cell photos but i wanted to preserve them with a layout..my 86 mom will try anything, especially when it involves her family..so they helped her into this raft/tube and down the "lazy river" we went...
This jumped out at me in the gallery... so bright and cheery. I do like that large happy sun. I like the use of the smallish photos and lots of open space on this page. Your title work looks good.
I can see why you were determined to do this layout as those photos are priceless. So one scraplift deserves another! I love how you clustered everything together on the page with the happy sun peeking over the top. Well done Bobbie now back to the wedding album.
What fun photos! Great use of white space, and your title turned out great!
A beautiful layout! Lovely photos. I love you background colours and the sun is sweet. Your title is great.
This is such a happy layout with the bright yellows and cheery sun. Wonderful photos to remember such a fun day. I like the addition of the bright blues too!
A fun page. Lovely photos and colors with a really great title. I love the face in the sun.

This lovely agent really seems to love her work. Why don;t we have "agencies" like that in America? Surely we have entrepreneurial females like yjat on this sided of the pond, especially those who let a guy know what she wants and how she wants it. So much better for both than sheer guess work followed by recriminations.

In this edition of Missing Pieces, Charles Landow highlights work on poverty, global economic trends, and aid, as well as developments in India. Enjoy!
Global Poverty: The Economist explores a debate over "the geography of poverty"—where the world's poor are, and will be, concentrated. As the piece notes, one scholar writes that some four-fifths of people living on less than $2 per day live not in poor countries but in middle-income ones. This is because countries like China and India have achieved middle-income status while many of their people remain poor. Meanwhile, two other researchers contend that poverty's main locus in the coming years will be "fragile states," where birthrates are often high. These accounts can be partially "squared," the Economist says, because some countries are both middle-income and fragile: the "MIFFS (middle-income fragile or failed states)," which include Iraq, Nigeria, Pakistan, and Yemen. In any case, the data point to an increasing need for donors to focus on boosting both governance in fragile countries and equity in middle-income ones.
Manmohan Singh's Woes: From "scrupulously honorable, humble, and intellectual technocrat" to "dithering, ineffectual bureaucrat presiding over a deeply corrupt government." Such is the downfall of Indian prime minister Manmohan Singh, according to a Washington Post piece. As the article explains, Singh led landmark reforms as finance minister in 1991. Then, appointed a surprise prime minister in 2004, he overcame opposition to strike a major nuclear agreement with the United States. Since his reelection in 2009, though, the prime minister has faded fast. He has shied from bold proposals and, critics say, ignored mounting graft among his "cabinet colleagues." CFR's Jagdish Bhagwati, a longtime friend of Singh's, is quoted as saying he has good "gut instincts" but "suffers from doubts… about getting things done." As the article notes, all of this can hardly promote India's rise. Recent pieces by Bhagwati and in Foreign Affairs explore the troubles of India and the ruling Congress Party.
Economic Trends: In the IMF's Finance and Development, Brookings scholar and former UN Development Programme chief Kemal Derviş charts three intersecting trends. First, developing countries have achieved faster growth than developed ones, producing a "convergence" in average incomes between the two groups. Second, despite these different long-term growth rates, there is "cyclical interdependence," which keeps the fates of industrialized and developing economies linked over shorter periods. Finally, the world's richest are getting richer while the poorest remain destitute, producing a trend of "divergence." In this "multipolar and interdependent" world, Derviş concludes, global cooperation is crucial to advance equity and prosperity. For more on this subject, see The Great Convergence, a book published by CFR's Michael Spence last year.
Well-Received Aid: Three scholars surveyed some 3,600 Ugandans to ask an often-ignored question: what do citizens think of the aid their country receives? In a blog post reviewing their findings, the authors found a favorable reception for foreign funds: 93 percent of respondents wanted an increase in aid while only 4 percent wanted a decline. This comes even though almost 80 percent said they had not benefitted personally from aid, and almost two-thirds said most aid is "not spent as intended." The reason for this apparent contradiction: Ugandans see foreign donors as preferable to the main alternative, their government. Respondents saw "aid as less politicized, less corrupt, and more transparent than government programs… And a large number of citizens support aid conditionality." As the authors write, aid, though imperfect, "may be the best alternative for poor countries with weak domestic institutions and limited state capacity."

The Toronto native moved to Michigan as a teenager and scored in bunches for East Kentwood High School in 1989-90. He then spent a year with the Kalamazoo Jr. K-Wings before playing four years at the University of Michigan. Following his solid year in Kalamazoo, he was drafted 76th overall by the Detroit Red Wings in the 1991 NHL Entry Draft.
He enjoyed an excellent college career, leading the CCHA with 38 goals in 1994-95 and being placed on the CCHA Second All-Star Team twice and the NCAA West All-American Team once. In 1995 he was selected to play for the United States at the World Championships.
Knuble was a solid minor leaguer with the Adirondack Red Wings for two seasons before making the Red Wings roster in 1997-98. The defending Stanley Cup champions were looking for Knuble to utilize his speed and anticipation to forecheck and neutralize the speedy forwards on the opposition. He responded with a solid rookie season and decent work in three playoff games as the Wings repeated as Cup champions.
He was traded to the New York Rangers late in training camp in 1998 and gained a more versatile role with his new team. Knuble scored 15 goals and 35 points for the Blueshirts and represented the US at the 1999 World Championships. The hustling winger played 59 games for the struggling Rangers in 1999-00 before he was sent to the Boston Bruins. During his first year in Beantown, Knuble scored 20 points, played sound defensive hockey, and killed penalties while suiting up for all 82 regular season games.
In 2002-03, Knuble finished third on the Bruins in scoring with 59 points on 30 goals and 29 assists and went on to play parts of five seasons with the club before being signing as a free-agent with the Philadelphia Flyers in the summer of 2004.
Aside from his World Championship appearance in 1995, Knuble has gone on to represent the U.S. on three other occasions at the Worlds' (1999, 2001 and 2005), and once at the 2006 Winter Olympics.
After sever productive years offensively with the Flyers, Knuble inked a deal with the Washington Capitals on July 1, 2009 as an unrestricted free agent.

We can manage every aspect of your relocation while you tend to business as usual. Our professional project management team will employ our proprietary methods to safely move more items per trip with our Boxless Move®.
We also offer methods that don't require you to unpack and re-file things like desks and filing cabinets. As a result, you and your employees are able to get packed, moved, and back to work quicker than you would if you had used another mover.
Why we're different.
Expert coordination. We'll start by teaming you up with an IOMI certified project manager who will coordinate all of the particulars of your move, making sure you and your colleagues get packed, loaded, and moved on time and within budget.
Pre-move orientation for employees. Moves are much smoother if everyone is on the same page. We'll provide commercial pre-move training and tips in advance to ensure you and your colleagues know exactly what to do to prepare for your move.
Meticulous office protection. It's exciting to move into a new or a renovated workplace, and we appreciate the investment it takes to provide employees with a good working environment. That's why JK takes extra care protecting both new and old offices so everyone can return to a fresh clean working space. Critical areas of the office are covered from head to toe to protect your old and new spaces during the move, including walls, doors, doorjambs, elevators, glass dividers, and flooring. Our move preparations are just one of the reasons why we continue to have the lowest claims rates in the industry, year after year.
Full time, fully-trained, IOMI certified crews. JK crews receive the highest training possible at IOMI, the world's only university for office moving. Our employees are trained in best practices for packing, loading, and moving everything from computers, servers, and electronics, to desks and filing cabinets.
Specialized solutions minimize disruption. JK has pioneered ways to move offices using the most efficient methods possible. Our Boxless Move significantly reduces the time it takes to relocate. Space Gobblers inflate inside full desk drawers, eliminating the need to pack and unpack. And our powerful Spider Cranes lift entire filing cabinets with documents and contents safely tucked inside. There's no emptying, no re-filing, no lost files, and no worries.
Expert solutions for moving computers, servers, and data centers. Your entire organization depends on your IT system, so we go out of our way to protect it. We wrap computers in Compuwrap, an anti-static, two-ply bubble wrap for maximum cushioning and protection. Computers are then moved on rolling carts as a precautionary measure. And when it comes to disconnecting, moving, and reconnecting servers and data centers, our technicians apply the same standard of consideration and care.
Commercial move trucks and transportation. JK's commercial fleet is specifically designed for office moving. With state-of-the-art air-ride suspension systems for maximum protection of your assets, our fleet is maintained in house to ensure optimal performance and safe handling. Additionally, all trucks tread lightly on the earth with an aggressive fleet sustainability program. Read more.
Modular systems disassembly and installation. JK has specialized crews dedicated to disassembling, moving, and installing modular furniture systems, ensuring efficient and proper installation.
Storage of office assets. JK maintains over 400,000 sq. ft. of secure storage space, which is slightly bigger than eight football fields. With 24-hour security, and a climate-controlled area, JK offers the best solution for your company's assets and documents. Here, your assets get the same white-glove treatment we've provided to several U.S. Presidents. Read more.
Records, data storage, shredding, and destruction. JK Records can store your files and media back up tapes for you in a highly secure, yet accessible manner, for a fraction of the cost of self storage or storing them at your office space. JK Records also offers tailored shredding programs, where mass quantities of paper can be shredded and recycled in short order. Read more.
Commercial moves that are easy on the planet. We're constantly looking for ways to provide our customers with eco-intelligent ways to move. To date, our Boxless Move has prevented more than 3 million cardboard boxes from ending up in a landfill — or the equivalent of 45 football fields stacked 3 ft. high. And that's just the start. Ask how we're helping people move towards a greener existence.
Ask us about furniture/equipment recycling options!
Cynthia K. — ...I would recommend your company in a heartbeat. Thanks again for your professionalism and your entire....

240 Minutes of Fame
Some company recently was interested in buying my 'aura,' " Andy Warhol once said, as recorded in his 1975 book The Philosophy of Andy Warhol. "They didn't want my product. They kept saying, 'We want your aura.' I never figured out what they wanted." Ric Burns's Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film attempts to illuminate the artist's alleged dilemma by both chronicling the evolution of Warhol's public persona and piercing its veil to reveal the conceptual complexities beneath. Burns's interviewees attest that Warhol could not so easily disentangle his own existence from that of his art, and that his celebrity itselfincluding such carefully constructed expressions of faux naïvetéshould be regarded as one of his greatest creations, as rich with intentional meaning as any example from his multitudinous output of paintings, drawings, sculpture, music, writing, films, and business ventures.
Burns eschews the obvious choice to dip back into the well-dredged pool of Factory-ites and fellow travelers (photographer Billy Name and director Paul Morrissey excepted) and opts instead for an unusually erudite roster of biographers, critics, and curators. Even the big names pressed into service are brainy art stars: Laurie Anderson narrates, and Jeff Koons reads Andy's voice when needed (a slyly apt bit of casting, since Koons's entire career could be seen as a vast Warhol quotation, and his own press face is as calculatedly plastic). The result is an intellectual history of Warhol, bucking the trend toward the star-studded VH1-ization of biodocs and constructed with a mission to dispel the artist's own self-created image as high-fashion hobnobber in favor of a more profound depiction. Burns argues for a cogitating, agitating Warhol: deep thinker, cultural barometer, and world changer.
Andy Warhol's strongest stretch comes in the film's first half, which relates his boyhood among the immigrant Czechoslovakian community in Pittsburgh, his art school experience (would-bes take note: he nearly flunked out), and early years in New York as a commercial illustrator. The middle bits on the classic Factory years veer too close to the standard Warhol story, while Valerie Solanas's attempted assassination and Warhol's near-death experience are stretched out to provide a dramatic climax.
Andy Warhol: A Documentary Film
Directed by Ric Burns
September 1 through 14, Film Forum
Warhol's ability to perceive mass culture as a malleable substance may have had to do with his multiple alienation from mainstream society, not just as fey homosexual and sickly child, but short-circuited class jumper. "Andy had no idea of bourgeois life," art critic Dave Hickey postulates, since one minute "he's in the ghetto" and the next, "he's hanging out with Liza." Writer Wayne Koestenbaum argues that this brings a revolutionary edge to Pop, a pre-punk do-it-yourself-ism; as Warhol was both a "great artist" and a "non-artist," his embrace of easy-does-it technology like silk screening and Polaroids was nothing less than "seizing the means of reproduction."
Clocking in at close to four hours (longer than Warhol's own 1966 magnum opus Chelsea Girls), Burns's supersized portrait could have been expanded into an epic miniseries on the scale of his and brother Ken Burns's The Civil War or his 1999 public-television eight-parter New York: A Documentary Film. (Andy Warhol will screen on PBS in late September.) After the assassination attempt, Burns skips lightly over the remaining two decades of Warhol's life in a mere 20 minutes, allowing Koestenbaum and dealer Irving Blum time to provide an interesting critical defense of the oft maligned made-to-order silk-screened high-society portraits Warhol began cashing checks for in the 1970s.
Burns can be heavy-handed, with emotive score, sometimes ponderous narration, and more than a few sweeping quotes on Warhol's earth-shattering impact. "A supermarket before Andy looked one way, a supermarket after Andy looked another way," says Hickey. "He literally changed the world." But for a figure as all-encompassing, such expansiveness seems inevitable. Warhol's advice to other artists is suitably cited: "Do everything."
