Steamboat Springs The lone survivor of a Yampa Valley Air Ambulance crash and the families of two people killed have filed a personal injury and wrongful death lawsuit against Mountain Flight Service, which provided the plane and pilot.
Tim Baldwin and the families of Dave Linner and Jennifer Wells filed the civil complaint Aug. 16 in Carbon County District Court in Wyoming.
"Our position is that is was a situation where there were very adverse conditions, and there was not a need to put these people's lives at risk," said Rick Eddington, a Steamboat Springs attorney representing Baldwin and Laurel Linner.
The plane's pilot, Tim Benway, also died in the crash.
A National Transportation Safety Board report about the crash notes that, at the time of the accident, Mountain Flight Service did not have a formal risk-management program in place to help the pilot and company assess risk on medical flights.
In interviews with investigators, Mountain Flight Service owners Bob and Cindy Maddox said they considered a pilot's decision-making skills in the hiring process, according to the report.
They also enforced a policy that all three crewmembers had to agree to fly for the mission to proceed.
David McGovern, a Los Angeles attorney representing Mountain Flight Service, declined to comment about the report or lawsuit. The Maddoxes also were advised not to comment.
A trial venue has not been decided.
The plaintiffs filed the suit in Carbon County because of the availability of witnesses there, including search and rescue personnel as well as residents familiar with the topography of the area, Eddington said.
McGovern and Mountain Flight Service have requested the case be moved to Colorado.
A hearing for a judge to decide the matter has yet been scheduled.
"It's a tragic situation for all involved," Eddington said. "My clients as well as the Wellses are close to the Maddoxes -- they are not trying to hurt them.
"Hopefully the insurance company will come forth and get this case settled to protect the interests of the families."

Often considered the 'Jewel of the Niger', Djenné is home to the world's largest mud-brick building, the Grande Mosquée. Almost every building in town follows the same traditional adobe architecture. About 5km (3 miles) to the south is the archaeological site of Djenné-Djeno (Old Djenné), founded around 250BC and one of the oldest towns in sub-Saharan Africa.
Mali things to see and do
Tourist offices
Address: rue Mohamed V, Bamako, Mali
Tel: 222 5673.
An important town on the trans-Saharan trade routes, Gao had its heyday in the 15th century when it was capital of the Songhai Empire. The mosque of Musa I (considered the richest man who has ever lived) and the tomb of Askia, both traditional Sahelian mud-brick structures, can be found here.
With a number of permanent water sources Boucle de Baoulé National Park permits an array of southern Sahelian species to thrive even during the dry season. Giraffe, leopard, lion, elephant, buffalo and hippo are all present in the park. Mostly comprising a savannah landscape, this natural wonder is also known for its prehistoric tombs and rock art.
Located close to Mopti, flat-topped Mount Hombori is not only Mali's tallest mountain at just over 1,150m (3,800 feet), but also an important ecological and archaeological site. Its steep sides have protected its flora and fauna from degradation and its caves have been inhabited for more than 2000 years.
The city of Timbuktu, straddling ancient trans-Saharan caravan routes, remains the centre of a lucrative trade in salt and gold that dates back centuries, as well as being an important centre of Islamic learning. The Tuareg presence gives the city an Arabic feel that contrasts Mali's other cities, and many historic mosques and tombs remain.
Located at the confluence of the Bani and the Niger rivers, Mopti is built on three islands joined by raised causeways. The mud-brick Grand Mosque is a good example of Sahelian architecture. The town's central market, Marché des Souvenirs, and the area surrounding the port are also worth visiting.
Located on the banks of the River Niger, Ségou is known for its pottery and the production of bogolan cloth, dyed using fermented mud. The nearby village of Ségou-Koro (Old Ségou), lying 10km (6 miles) upstream, became the capital of the Bambara Empire in the 17th century, and was visited by explorer Mungo Park in 1796.
Mali's capital, Bamako, is a modern-looking city on the River Niger and the educational and cultural centre of the country. Not to be missed are its markets, the botanical gardens, the Musée National and the craft centre at the Maison des Artisans. The nearby Point G Hill houses prehistoric cave paintings and offers great views of Bamako below.
A trek between the traditional villages of the Bandiagara escarpment, which are cut into pink sandstone cliffs, offers exquisite views. Inhabited by the Dogon, whose ancient beliefs have remained largely untouched by Islam, the unique architectural style of these villages has helped them become listed by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site.
A short distance from Gao, La Dune Rose lies on the right bank of the Niger. Come sunset, Koïma – as it is known locally – turns a wondrous pink. To take maximum advantage of the atmosphere, head upstream to Quema and Hondo, where the sunset ignites similar colours on more dunes.

Singer Rachel Brooke cites Bessie Smith, Louis Jordan, Johnny Cash and the Beach Boys as musical influences. Against that backdrop, her sound - far more Bessie than Beachy, for the record - is decidedly late-night/barroom music.
And Brooke's songwriting inspirations are diverse and intriguing. One might be about a dream that the Devil lives in her pots and pans. Others might be about animals or flowers, and still more might involve melodic homicidal speculation. But they always result in astonishing tunes that take sparse country-blues in a decidedly fun but dark direction.
You should listen to such albums as "Down in the Barnyard" or the brand-new "A Killer's Dream" - and definitely see her Wednesday when she headlines New London's Oasis Pub.
The GraveRobbers' James Maple will open with a solo set.
Rachel Brooke, 9 p.m. Wednesday, the Oasis Pub, 16 Bank St., New London; James Maple opens; $5; (860) 447-3929.

ssize_t aio_return(struct aiocb *aiocbp);
The aio_return() function returns the return status associated with the aiocb structure referenced by the aiocbp argument. The return status for an asynchronous I/O operation is the value that would be returned by the corresponding read(2), write(2), or fsync(3C) function call. If the error status for the operation is equal to EINPROGRESS, then the return status for the operation is undefined. The aio_return() function may be called exactly once to retrieve the return status of a given asynchronous operation; thereafter, if the same aiocb structure is used in a call to aio_return() or aio_error(3RT), an error may be returned. When the aiocb structure referred to by aiocbp is used to submit another asynchronous operation, then aio_return() may be successfully used to retrieve the return status of that operation.
If the asynchronous I/O operation has completed, then the return status, as described for read(2), write(2), and fsync(3C), is returned. If the asynchronous I/O operation has not yet completed, the results of aio_return() are undefined.
The aio_return() function will fail if:
EINVAL The aiocbp argument does not refer to an asynchronous operation whose return status has not yet been retrieved.
ENOSYS The aio_return() function is not supported by the system.
The aio_return() function has a transitional interface for 64-bit file offsets. See lf64(5).

A teenager accused of stabbing a man in Welcome Bay on Sunday morning has been let out on bail.
The 19-year-old beneficiary, who appeared in Tauranga District Court yesterday charged with assault, was remanded on bail without plea to reappear on December 13.
He has interim name suppression and has since been charged with attempted murder.
The 36-year-old victim, understood to be the boyfriend of the teenager's mother, remains in a stable condition in Tauranga Hospital after undergoing surgery for stab wounds to his stomach and back.
Police allege the teenager stabbed his victim with a large kitchen knife and the injured man then ran from his Osprey Dr driveway and eventually collapsed just past the intersection of Portland Rd.
The accused's bail conditions mean he is able to continue to work but must abide by a home curfew from 2pm to 4am.

What Happens To Kids When A Parent Is Seriously Ill?
Tuesday, January 24, 2012
Aired 1/24/12 on KPBS Midday Edition.
Guests: Ronald Bonn, journalist and journalism teacher at the University of San Diego.
Kathleen McCue, child-life specialist at the Cleveland Clinic.
Parents traditionally want to protect their kids, not just from real danger but also from sadness and insecurity. The first reaction of many parents, when they become seriously ill, is to keep their illness from their kids as much as possible. But that's often not the best idea.
A book that has helped thousands of families maneuver through the illness (and even the death) of a parent has now been revised and updated. How to Help Children Through a Parent's Serious Illness is the result of an interesting collaboration between a child life specialist and a reporter. Kathleen McCue is a child-life specialist at the Cleveland Clinic. Ronald Bonn is a veteran television journalist who now teaches journalism at the University of San Diego.

Photo: My bike locked up with the kegs at Buffalo Wild Wings.
If you can't tell, I got reflective panniers! I got a check in for some consulting work I did, and I quickly went and blew some of it on a set of panniers. They're not the most expensive or the cheapest, but they appeared to be a good bang-for-the-buck, and I don't have any heel-strike problems with them like some of the bigger touring bags or grocery panniers I looked at.
Despite not driving to work, I still had plenty to keep me busy. As you can tell, I went to Buffalo Wild Wings. Some of my friends meet up there on Tuesdays for wing night. It's not much further than the bus stop, so I hammered on it and made pretty good time. Then, it was off to see my buddy's new house. I went to the pharmacy, then finally to the grocery store. These are all things that I had to do, or that I would normally do. Last year around this time, I would have just driven around everywhere, even though it was just about 10 miles even. All of this in-town driving with lots of turning the car on and off, driving a mile here, 3 miles there, and so on, would have probably burned a gallon of gas. Instead, I got to burn off some chicken wings and beer that were tasty and delicious, without feeling too guilty about eating and drinking all of it.
...There's no way I burned off all those wings, though...
Oh yeah, panniers can only mean one thing, I have to do another round trip via bike. I might as well make it tomorrow. And maybe Thursday too. :)

Congradulations! Anytime you can keep weight off you back the easier the ride. I have jannd Moutianeering panniers, which work; however, they are on the small side. Yours look like they are of a more useful size.

Research Challenges Assumptions Of Flightless Bird Evolution
Large flightless birds of the southern continents "" African ostriches, Australian emus and cassowaries, South American rheas and the New Zealand kiwi "" do not share a common flightless ancestor as once believed.
Instead, each species individually lost its flight after diverging from ancestors that did have the ability to fly, according to new research conducted in part by University of Florida zoology professor Edward Braun.
The new research, which appears this week in the online edition of the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, has several important implications.First, it means some ratites, like the emus, are much more closely related to their airborne cousins, the tinamous, than they are to other ratites, Braun said.
Second, it means the ratites are products of parallel evolution "" different species in significantly different environments following the exact same evolutionary course.
Braun and his fellow researchers began closely studying this group of flightless birds, known collectively as ratites, after a discovery made while working on a larger-scale effort to better understand the evolution of birds and their genomes by analyzing corresponding genetic material sampled from the tissue of many different bird species and determining how they relate to one another.
As they analyzed the genetic material, they noticed that the ratites did not form a natural group based on their genetic makeup. Rather, they belonged to multiple related but distinct groups that contained another group of birds, the tinamous, with the ability to fly.
Previously, the ratites were used as a textbook example of vicariance, a term that describes the geographical division of a single species, resulting in two or more very similar sub-groups that can then undergo further evolutionary change and eventually become very distinct from one another.
Scientists assumed that a single flightless common ancestor of the ratites lived on the supercontinent of Gondwana, which slowly broke up into Africa, South America, Australia and New Zealand; once divided, the ancestor species evolved slightly in each new location to produce the differences among the present-day ratites, Braun said.
But in light of this new information, he said it's more likely that the ratites' ancestors distributed themselves among the southern continents after the breakup of Gondwana, which began about 167 million years ago, in a much more obvious way.
They flew.
Although these new revelations teach evolutionary scientists a great deal, they also pose a great many new questions. For example, why did these birds evolve into such similar organisms in such different environments?
"To know for sure, we'll have to go into the lab and really study the genetics underlying the ratites' developmental pathway," Braun said. "But nobody would have asked that question without the type of data we've collected, which raises the question in the first place."
The scientists' effort to analyze such a tremendous amount of genetic material collected from birds across the globe is in turn just a single part of a program called Assembling the Tree of Life, funded and organized by the National Science Foundation, which aims to assemble a body of similar research for every group of organisms on the planet, including animals, plants, fungi, algae and bacteria.
The conclusions about ratite origin are just a small part of a massive research project aimed to better understand the evolutionary relationships among bird species, which involved five institutions, 18 researchers, $2 million of funding and four years of work. In addition to the University of Florida, researchers came from the Smithsonian Institution, the Field Museum of Natural History, Wayne State University and Louisiana State University.

We are the geeks here at AccessoryGeeks.com and we are back again to tell you about our huge selection of Samsung Galaxy S4 Chargers that we carry. You know our smart phones battery life is just not cutting it. Let's be honest, our phones don't even last us half a day! Especially, if we're having one of those days where we're spending an hour or 2 waiting at the car dealership to get the ol' car services, or getting our hair done (ladies..and or gentlemen), or waiting around at the doctor's office, or in a boring lecture in class. We're all on our phones (even at the dinner table sometimes, you know you're guilty!) and we need to keep our phone charged. You don't want to miss that important text message from your boo, or boss, or a phone call that you're waiting on from your wife who's about to pop out her baby at any moment. So for times like these where you need a Galaxy S4 charger, we have got you covered here at AccessoryGeeks.com by providing you with all different type. We have Galaxy S4 wall chargers for those who need one at the office and one at home, and Galaxy S4 car chargers to keep your phone charged while you're playing candy crush in traffic, and we carry different variations of these chargers like retractable types and just the adapters if you need them and they're all mostly Samsung Galaxy S4 fast chargers. We also carry the Galaxy S4 charging cables in case you somehow misplaced it. The Samsung Galaxy S4 has a micro USB connector so ANY charger with a micro USB tip will fit the Galaxy S4, or actually ANY Galaxy phone no matter what brand the charger is. Of course, I would always recommend getting OEM brands, but if you are looking for a less expensive one, those work just as well. So take a look and see what we have for you. You can thank me later for saving you from that missed call…or instead of thanking me, I would be fine with naming your future baby after me. You're welcome!!..and remember you, GOT IT FROM A GEEK!

Rage Against the Machine looks back on 20 years
July 27th, 2011, 6:00 am by BEN WENER, THE ORANGE COUNTY REGISTERIt's a season of significant anniversaries. Two of them happen Monday: MTV turns 30 while George Harrison's Concert for Bangladesh, the granddaddy of star-studded charity concerts, will become 40. More vitally, at least to where rock has ventured in the recent past, is that, as August gives way to September, ground zero of the Seattle grunge explosion will cross the two-decade mark. Three milestones from 1991 will soon reach their 20th birthdays: Pearl Jam's Ten, Soundgarden's Badmotorfinger and Nirvana's Nevermind.
But there's another equally important if lesser-known moment from '91 well worth commemorating this summer – although even the participants involved can't pinpoint exactly when it occurred. Tom Morello is certain it's Aug. 20. Or maybe Aug. 21. Possibly Aug. 22.
"The third week of August, anyway," he determined during a phone chat last week, adding a hearty laugh. Morello was on his way to San Fernando Valley for rehearsal at a space, it turns out, that isn't far from (nor much bigger than) the spot where he and drummer Brad Wilk first got together with two struggling friends from O.C., bassist Tim Commerford and vocalist, lyricist and budding revolutionary Zack de la Rocha.
Whatever the exact date, Rage Against the Machine was born at that jam sometime in August '91, and alongside its rapid evolution came a provocative influence that continues to inspire, arguably more so than the work of the era's grunge gods.
The group's milestone moment will be celebrated Saturday with one of the most massive concerts of the year: L.A. Rising at the Coliseum, a festival "of, by and for the city of Los Angeles," as Morello puts it. The event is to Rage what Labor Day weekend's Wisconsin bash is shaping up to be for Pearl Jam, and the lineup is just as handpicked. It includes mighty English outfit Muse, new-millennium punk favorite Rise Against, urban-soul maven Ms. Lauryn Hill, L.A. rap figure Immortal Technique and eclectic Mexican rockers El Gran Silencio.

Our son, Alex, came home from school telling me it was his turn to bring in a snack for his class. The snack had to use the letter of the week, which happened to be 'X'. My husband came up with the idea of the xylophone and it delighted Alex's classmates and his teacher.—Michele Cascais, Mendham, New Jersey

"I finally found the idea I've been searching for, this worked out great for my son's preschool class since he got stuck with the letter X. I really searched for the best and cutiest idea out but this one was far better than them all. I did follow the recipe did my own color combination with different color combo on the m&m's. My son helped me too so this was a fun and learning experiement. I would highly recommend this to anyone searching for a fun and easy project for school or parties or just plan fun!"

One kitchen tool I would never want to be without is my Cuisinart food processor.
When my son, Chris, was born, there were two things that I really wanted – a camera and a Cuisinart. The camera took my son's "firsts," which filled our overflowing photo albums for posterity. The Cuisinart, received as a gift from Santa that year, helped me to make healthy baby foods. Chris' experimental blends were perfected by the time my son, Ted, was born. Alas, firstborns must suffer more parental trials and errors. Needless to say, both of my guys were so cute that my camera was always on autopilot. (Mom's bragging rights here).
As I peeked inside that Cuisinart box that Christmas, for a fleeting moment I was reminded of the saying, "Be careful what you ask for – you might get it." At first glance, "it" appeared overwhelming, intimidating and complex, like a mechanical monster. However, I'm glad that I didn't let appearances fool me, as I have found the food processor to be an invaluable kitchen aid.
Food processors make wonderful baby food that is free of additives, preservatives, salt, sugar and whatever else you want to eliminate, and full of whatever you want to add. In just seconds, my machine's initial task transformed a banana into a marvelous Banana Whip, which proved to be a taste treat that both my sons loved to eat often. Another favorite was sweet potatoes or yams. These are an excellent source of vitamin A - cooked first then pureed. Just about any vegetable or fruit can be steamed, cooked or poached and then pureed for baby. Cooked meat, fish or fowl can be processed for the older baby. A little water, broth or milk can be added, if necessary, to achieve desired consistency.
My food processor makes a better, easier pie crust than I can make by hand. Put the ingredients into the work bowl and lock the top. With the touch of a finger, and in a few seconds' time, one pie crust is ready to use immediately and one is ready for my freezer.
No need to knead. A food processor can rapidly turn out a very nice dough that bakes bread that has an excellent texture. Also, homemade pasta, pierogi and ravioli dough are quick to make and they taste delicious. Many cookies and cakes are easy to put together in the processor.
Leftover vegetables can be transformed into gourmet soups. Chances are, once the Cuisinart has staked its claim to a spot on your countertop, you'll want to save those broccoli stalks or that cup of leftover spinach to make a quick, healthful soup.
A relatively small amount of leftover ham, turkey or chicken can be recycled into a new dinner of ham, turkey or chicken croquettes. The Cuisinart transforms leftover meats into great spreads for sandwiches or hors d'oeuvres. This avoids turning good leftovers into trash.
Any vegetable or meat can be cut, chopped, shredded, ground or cut julienne. Pepperoni slices in seconds. Stale bread instantly becomes breadcrumbs for the freezer. (The birds in your neighborhood may not like this!) Hard cheese quickly changes to grated for omelets or sauces. Nuts can be chopped or ground very quickly. The processor can make peanut, cashew, or almond butter swiftly. It's great for making dips, sauces and dressings, too. Cole slaw isn't just for holidays anymore, as it takes only minutes to prepare
Although certain foods are standard fare for holiday dinners, I like to experiment with something new each year, and the following cranberry-orange chutney is such a dish. Made in a food processor, it's a last-minute condiment that requires no cooking but needs to soak in orange liqueur for at least 12 hours. Welcome at dinner, this chutney is also good as an appetizer, atop cream cheese or with brie.
2 cups fresh, whole cranberries
1 large, whole naval orange, unpeeled, quartered, seeded
1/4 small, whole lemon, unpeeled, seeded
2/3 cup sugar
1/4 cup Cointreau or Triple Sec
-Wash cranberries and combine with oranges and lemon in work bowl or food processor.
-Process on and off until mixture is chopped.
-Remove mixture to a bowl and stir in the sugar and Cointreau.
-Let stand, covered, 12 hours at room temperature, then refrigerate until erving time.
-Add orange slices for garnish.
If my wholehearted praise of the food processor has you at all interested in owning one, there are just 20 days left to be really good for goodness sake. "So you better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why…."
Eat well, live long, enjoy!

Assessment of HSE falls from vehicles campaign published
The HSE campaign on falls from vehicles has been assessed by researchers and the following conclusions and recommendations have now been published. The conclusions are:
- Awareness of the campaign was reasonable in terms of recall and recognition. There were lower awareness levels amongst drivers and better awareness levels amongst Fleet managers and those with HGVs;
- Construction site managers where markedly affected by the campaign;
- Risks of falls from vehicles awareness was raised but there was less impact on how to deal with the risk;
- Views on responsibility and duty of care were influenced positively;
- HSE was seen as an organisation from which to obtain information on vehicle safety and;
- 50% of those aware of the campaign took practical action and half also planned to do so.
The researchers also make the following recommendations:
- Longer term attitudinal shift may be achieved by a further campaign, especially regarding purchasing and specification of vehicles;
- Messages should be filtered through managers to a greater extent. Findings indicated that targeting managers could be more effective than targeting drivers and;
- Vehicle fleet operators should be targeted although others, without fleets, should be reminded of their duty of care.

A reader shared this observation:
There I was, headed to work at the Capitol, seeing the DOH parking lot mostly empty for Furlough Friday, wondering how we could help our petite, elderly custodian — who is now left to look after our entire floor, three other custodians having been laid off — cope with the new routine. Just then I saw what I've since been told is a brand new boom truck at the traffic circle fronting the Governor's residence. A crew of three was placing holiday lights in the fresh Norfolk pine placed there — one man in the bucket, one man controlling the bucket arm, and one man (in a spiffy hard hat), well, watching.
We can furlough our teachers, we can furlough employees, but we just have to have three guys using a new boom truck to put up holiday lights in front of the Governor's house?
I'm sure that's a feeling shared by a lot of people this year as priorities become clearer against the dark financial background.
The thread of comments from the last couple of entries regarding the Hawaii Employer-Union Health Benefits Trust Fund has yielded some interesting information. Even if you don't normally read the comments, these are worth checking.
When another Navy officer at Pearl Harbor was relieved of command last week, I had to wonder what the heck is going on? A sub captain was dismissed earlier.
Little news has emerged about these cases and what policies or problems tie them together.
I finally found an online forum on the issue. Lots of informed speculation among the "tin foil" moments. One comment noted that 13 commanding officers are relieved in a normal year. So it's not clear whether this year is above average or not.
But you would think that several cases in one command like Pearl Harbor would interest reporters and prompt more inquiry.
And let me recommend this column on corruption and war by my old friend, Gene Stoltzfus, who regulary seems so wise.

Experimental: Links to Learning
Participants received the community mental health consultation model program.
Behavioral: Community mental health consultation model program
The community mental health consultation model program included collaboration among community mental health providers and (1) parent advocates to effectively maintain families in a school-based mental health program, (2) classroom teachers to enhance children's academic performance, and (3) peer-identified influential teachers to influence classroom teachers' use of behavior management strategies. This model further focused on the strongest teacher and parent predictors of student learning.

Behavioral: Treatment as usual (TAU)
TAU included referral to community mental health clinic-based services, where participants received standard care for mental health-related problems.
Detailed Description:
There are an estimated 4.5 to 6.3 million children with mental disorders in the United States. Emotional and behavioral problems associated with childhood mental disorders have a significant impact, with affected children at an increased risk of reduced quality of life and school dropout. If left untreated, childhood mental disorders may continue into adulthood, often impairing ability to function as an adult. It is believed that, compared to clinic-based services, school- and home-based mental health services may lead to greater improvements in children's learning and behavior at school and home. Especially important to this type of approach is a collaborative effort among parents, teachers, and children to encourage and maintain positive behaviors and academic performance both at home and in the classroom. This study evaluated the effectiveness of school- and home-based mental health services and training modules in supporting learning and behavior in financially disadvantaged children who live in urban areas.
This 3-year study involved parent, child, and teacher participants. During Year 1, teacher participants attended a professional development series that focused on strategies that classroom teachers can use to help children with learning and behavior problems at school. The series involved weekly 30-minute sessions, which were held before and after school hours, for a total of 6 months. Teachers completed a brief survey about the content and structure of sessions at the end of each session and gave a monthly review on how they applied their new strategies in the classroom setting. Teachers continued to attend booster sessions of up to 1 hour each month during Year 2. Teachers also participated in periodic case consultation meetings with parents and mental health providers to further develop ways to improve student participants' learning and behavior.
Child participants received either the community mental health program associated with their school or received general clinic-based services (Treatment as usual). The school component of the mental health program consisted of a classroom environment in which the teachers implemented their newly learned strategies to enhance the academic and behavioral performance of the child participants. Parents of child participants in the community mental health program were invited to attend a series of parent/teacher meetings and home visits where mental health service providers discussed strategies that parents and teachers can use to help improve their children's learning and behavior. Parents completed a brief questionnaire at the end of each meeting and gave a monthly review of how they implemented their new strategies in the home setting. Parents continued to communicate with research staff regarding services provided throughout the study.
Assessments for all participants occurred five times over 3 years. Assessments for parent participants included questions about their child's behavior at school and home, their child's use of mental health services, involvement in their child's schooling, and possible stresses in life. Assessments for teachers included questions about the behavior and academic performances of the child participants, parent involvement with the children's schooling, and stresses in their work environment. A research staff member also conducted a 2-hour classroom observation five times over 3 years. Individual child participants were also observed in the classroom by research staff for three 15-minute intervals five times over the study period.
Ages Eligible for Study: | 5 Years to 12 Years (Child) |

Exclusion Criteria:
- Severe developmental or medical disability
Note: Teachers, parents, and mental health providers of the children enrolled in the study were also consented as per directions from our Institutional Review Board (IRB) because we were asking about sensitive information. Therefore, the ages listed below are for the children enrolled in the study as this was the determining criteria for study participation.

Vet docu-essayist Avi Mograbi permits his personal ideology, interests and, per usual, onscreen seriocomic musings to overpower "Z32," an idiosyncratic take on soldiers' traumatic memories of horrors both seen and perpetrated.
While Israeli docus such as "Waltz With Bashir" and "To See if I'm Smiling" have poignantly and creatively reflected on soldiers' traumatic memories of horrors both seen and perpetrated, "Z32," an idiosyncratic take on this topic from vet docu-essayist Avi Mograbi, permits his personal ideology, interests and, per usual, onscreen seriocomic musings to overpower the subject. Self-described "musical documentary tragedy" seems unlikely to inspire the fest and pubcaster demand generated by his previous "Avenge but One of My Two Eyes."
Pic centers on the testimony of a twentysomething former serviceman burdened with guilt over his participation in a revenge operation in which two Palestinian policemen were murdered. Ashamed and afraid of retaliation, he refuses to let Mograbi expose his face or identity. Playing with ways to conceal his subject's identity while retaining some facial expressiveness, Mograbi experiments with a variety of disconcerting special effects. Even more off-putting, he expresses his feelings about the filmmaking process and the soldier's crime with music and song. Low-budget tech package is typical of helmer's style. Title refers to the archive file where Mograbi discovered the story.Z32

Tax exemption for budget SUVs?
Heavy Industry Ministry suggested that budget utility vehicles are not taxed at the same rate as luxury SUVs.NEW DELHI, APRIL 7:
If you are planning to buy a sports utility vehicle (SUV), it might be advantageous to wait for a few days.
The Government may modify its proposal to increase the tax on such vehicles, introduced in the Budget for 2013-14. The automobile industry had lobbied strongly against the move. Even the Heavy Industry Ministry had pitched in, suggesting that a threshold limit be introduced, so that budget utility vehicles are not taxed at the same rate as luxury SUVs.
The Budget had raised the excise duty on SUVs from 27 per cent to 30 per cent, while exempting those registered as taxis.
"When the Finance Minister gives a reply on the Finance Bill, he is likely to amend this proposal. It could be giving a threshold for value," a highly placed Government source told Business Line. The reply will be made in Parliament when it reassembles after recess on April 22.
Threshold of value means a model priced below a certain level will not attract the additional three per cent duty. Here, the price is manufactured value mentioned as assessable value.
Although the source refused to give more details on the amendment, the Heavy Industries Ministry had suggested a threshold of Rs 10 lakh. Bringing such a threshold may benefit SUVs such as Mahindra Scorpio, Mahindra Bolero, Tata Sumo and Tata Safari.
Any change in the proposal will benefit not only the consumer, but also give relief to the auto industry which is reeling under lower sales.
Last month, in a letter to Finance Minister P. Chidambaram, Heavy Industries Minister Praful Patel wrote, "If imposing this additional duty is entirely unavoidable on account of revenue and the subsidised price of diesel, may I request you to exempt all such vehicles classified as SUV that have an assessable value of up to Rs 10 lakh from the ambit of three per cent additional excise duty," he said.
The present notification issued by the Finance Ministry envisages coverage of vehicles of above 4 metres length, 1,500 cc and above engine capacity, and 170 mm and above ground clearance for the levy of additional three per cent excise duty.
"With this criteria, it is unfortunate that commonly used vehicles in rural and semi-urban areas such as Bolero, Sumo, Tavera, Trax and many others have come under this additional duty. Needless to say that neither are these vehicles high-end nor luxurious," Patel said.
The letter also mentioned that they are a necessity and a compulsion for vehicle owners given the poor rural road network and their lower price band.
Moreover, these vehicles have a higher ground clearance.
The Minister also felt that there is no specific definition of SUV either across the world or in India. Even the Motor Vehicles Act or the Central Vehicles rules do not have such a classification.

UC Riverside research shows fish with placentas are smaller and less brightly colored than non-placental fish
Non-placental species Xiphophorus hellerii. Note the beautiful ventral extension of the tail fin.Photo credit: Juan Carlos Merino.
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — Sexual selection refers to species' selection for traits that are attractive to the opposite sex. This special type of natural selection enhances opportunities to mate, the tail of male peacocks being an iconic example.
Biologists at the University of California, Riverside have now found that sexual selection and "placentation" — the formation of a placenta — are linked. Describing the life histories of more than 150 species of fish in the family Poeciliidae, the researchers found that species with placentas tend to have males that do not have bright coloration, ornamentation or courtship displays. They tend to be much smaller than the males of species without placentas. They also tend to be very well endowed, enabling males to sneak up on females to mate with them without the formality of courtship.
"It impresses me as being a bit like science fiction to say that male morphology and mating behavior and female preferences will be in any way governed by the female's mode of reproduction," said David Reznick, a distinguished professor of biology, whose lab led the research. "I would have thought that what was going on in the inside of the animal would be largely independent of what is going on on the outside."
Study results appear online July 9 in Nature.
All of 150 species Reznick's team described give birth to live young, but some of these species have the equivalent of a mammalian placenta. The researchers discovered that the placenta has evolved multiple times and that species vary considerably in how well their placentas have developed.
"This diversity is enabling us to address questions about how and why the placenta evolved and to learn something about the consequences of having one," said Bart J. A. Pollux, a former postdoctoral scholar in Reznick's lab, a member of the research team and the lead author on the research paper.
Complex organ
A mammalian organ that forms inside the mother's uterus, the placenta plays a crucial role during pregnancy. It provides oxygen and nutrients to the unborn baby and removes waste products from the baby's blood.
"Evolutionary biologists have been trying to answer how and why complex organs evolve," Reznick said. "They have also been trying to answer how mating strategies and sexual selection evolve. These may seem like unrelated questions, but our research builds a bridge between them."
Like the eye, the placenta is a complex organ. It is the product of a very large number of genes that must all be well integrated before the placenta can function properly, Reznick explained. "The seeming impossibility of this event is the basis of virtually all of the creation science/intelligent design arguments against evolution," he said.
Conflict management
The new work adds to the growing abundance of evidence about how important parent-offspring conflict — the disagreement between parent and offspring over the nature of the parental investment in the offspring — is in shaping evolution. This conflict generally increases during parental care, with offspring employing all kinds of strategies to get more from their parents than is in the best interest of the parents to give to them.
"First conceived in 1974, conflict was the product of musings about the coefficient of relatedness between mothers, fathers and offspring," Reznick said. "In the context of our paper, the evolution of the placenta is shaped by conflict, but then its presence creates an ongoing conflict between mother and offspring that has a continuing role in shaping evolution."
An evolutionary theory put to the test
The new work presents for the first time the diversity of modes of reproduction in the Poeciliidae family. Further, it uses this diversity to perform a formal statistical test of an evolutionary theory called the "viviparity driven conflict hypothesis."
Reznick explained that a research paper in 2000 originally proposed this hypothesis, arguing that there must be a relationship between how animals reproduce and how important sexual selection is in choosing mates. Specifically, when animals evolve placentas, the paper's authors predicted a shift away from choosing who to mate with towards mating with multiple mates, then choosing which fertilized egg to nourish through to the end of development.
"The question is why this change?" Reznick said. "Females of non-placental species fully provision eggs before they are fertilized. If they are to choose a mate, then the choice must be made on the basis of the mate's appearance or behavior. Females of placental species make most of their investment in offspring after the egg is fertilized. This is also a time when the father's genome is active and contributing to the development of the baby. They thus have the ability to choose fathers on the basis of the performance of the developing baby."
All that glitters (in fish tanks) is non-placental
The Poeciliidae family includes guppies, platys, swordtails, and mollies that are frequently on sale in pet stores.
"The reason they are in pet stores is that all of these species are non-placental," Reznick said. "They have males with gaudy colors or elaborate display structures, like the tail of a swordtail or the enlarged fins of sailfin mollies. Gaudy males, it turns out, are more profitable."
Reznick noted that the work his lab is engaged in could not be done on mammals.
"All placental mammals inherited their placenta from a single common ancestor that lived more than 100 million years ago," he explained. "Whatever was happening then has long since been lost to history. These fish have evolved placentas around eight different times and some origins were quite recent. This diversity gives us the power to ask questions about how and why it happened and about what the consequences of the evolution of the placenta have been."
Reznick and Pollux were joined in the study by Robert W. Meredith and Mark S. Springer at UC Riverside. Pollux is now at Wageningen University, the Netherlands. Meredith, a former postdoctoral researcher in Springer's lab, is now at Montclair State University, NJ.
The research was supported by a grant to Reznick and Springer from the National Science Foundation.

Correlation is not causation. We could make the same argument for any player and it would be true, because (1) it is entirely subjective and (2) it is a team game.
The hype for Amir was not that great. Most fans in other cities would have no idea who he was if he didn't get a few starts at the beginning of this season. He spent significant time in the D-league. What player with hype does that?
TaShawn, around the league, where knowledgeable fans are (ie. RealGM, Hoopsworld), they knew Amir. He got a lot of pub before his new contract.
When fans start seeing Rasheed and Antonio playing together and think to themselves that there is no power forward in the game...you know Michael Curry is starting to win people over to his side of the smallball conversation.
Thunder coach Scott Brooks bears a startling resemblance to Flip Saunders. Sheed might be the worst end of game defender in the history of the NBA. I won't soon forget the feeling of my eyes bulging out of my head at the start of the game as I realized that DET doesn't have the size to match up with OKC. I would have no problem sacrificing wins if the team was becoming more versatile and more players were able to execute the core philosophy of the team. There are none of those things now. It is all hodgepodge. If they struggle like this against OKC, what will the UCLA legend Dan Gadzuric do to them?!?!
i have to disagree - you could easily argue that we are becoming more versatile. tay, rip, and aa are all getting experience out of position, and we're incorporating both small and big lineups. we could just play traditional all year, but this gives the players experience with different styles of play and different types of players to guard. stuck was predictably over-aggressive in the 1st half coming off of the 40-point game, and pushed a little too hard. but he played great in the 2nd half and picked his spots much better. when westbrook peeked to the left and stuckey immediately drove hard to the rim for a layup, that's good recognition, and more importantly shows his concentration to act immediately. i agree with lee in that i think we let that lineup stay too long on the floor, but then again they did build the big lead so hindsight is 20/20 there. i mean, maybe after OKC scored a couple quick baskets we could've called a quick T and brought back sheed/stuck, but no biggie. we're learning and it was a fun game to watch, just gotta figure out a way to sustain those leads.
I agree that he has a harder time of it and I have commented about this weakness. Only two factors can really help:Going over the game tape with concentrations on movement surges. Isolate only on this aspect and take detailed notes. Do this for all the past games. Understand the following:Who gets hot (starter or bench)? Do they transfer energy or merely stay hot until they miss? If momentum seems to be building, who do you stop with heavy defensive pressure. Most might think to stop the guy who is hot, but one might want to make sure the leader stays out of it. When the leader gets hot, he is usually the heavy carrier.Sometimes after a timeout, you might want to break further rhythm. How might this be done? It might be good to remember that the opposing team might be higher after the pep talk from the coach. So, if you have fouls to give, foul a poor FT shooter immediately: this slows everyone down. Now you are getting into Phil Jackson territory.Hit them hard with full court pressure, especially if the the guards are not the hot ones. This can be a little touchy if your crew is weak on quickness and have not practice this routine. Again, in Phil Jackson territory: you have a special squad that does just that. They don't have to play long to become effective.I could go on about some of these routines and I am sure others have some favorite try-ons.The key is now controlling tempo (and player knowledge), disruption through planned and practiced affects. You have a very distinct advantage as insightful coach when you hit quickly and then get out. The merry-go-round of head coaching changes certainly will favor those that deal with these things and have a team history (think Pop and Jackson). GM's of course never think along these lines, unless they have an owner to who thinks they (the GM) can also coach. The latter is known as the, a little mouse effect.2. Using an assistant coach or designated person to routine this process and sharing knowledge. For the Pistons, this of course means Cowens and who knows the relationship each of the coaches have with one another.
A 2 point win at home against a 4 and 16 team... Getting our guys to play other positions/out of position will deversify their game but can they use it come P/Os ? It aint gonna work. I like the idea of trying new things but not to spite yourself.
Trust me, hindsight was not needed. I knew what was needed immediately, when we still had a double digit lead.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I was merely pointing out the continued use of a logical fallacy (correlation as causation) in your post game comments.
Micro, here is the post I was commenting on. Read the 2nd line you wrote. You quoted my response to this, not my game report.
Ok fine. Please, correlate to your heart's content. I honestly do not have the stamina to argue right now.
Not arguing here at all. You just apparently lost track of the conversation. No problem. I am just making comments on what I see in front of me. I pay little attention to who wrote what for the most part. I took the time, to be nice, to find the quote that I commented on. Appreciate it or not. Hope you can enjoy the game.

The 2011 Special Session of the Texas Legislature came to a close yesterday. Among the bills passed and heading for Gov. Rick Perry's desk is SB 1, which covers a hodge podge of state fiscal matters, most notably education finance. Also in the bill passed yesterday is a provision that requires online retailers, such as Amazon.com, to collect sales taxes if they have a physical presence in the state. While lawmakers could have cut the provision from the bill, they did not as it had significant support in both chambers. Collecting sales taxes from Internet retailers is also popular with many Texans who've seen education and other essential state services slashed in this latest round of state budget balancing. Bricks-and-mortar retailers also largely support the provision, saying Amazon and its ilk enjoy an unfair advantage.
Perry, an as-yet-undeclared Republican candidate for president, has recently been touring the nation wowing fellow Republicans with tales of the Texas economic miracle and his job-creating prowess. When Amazon threw a hissy fit and threatened to shut down its distribution center near Dallas (see previous post) after it was presented with a bill for $269 million in uncollected sales taxes, Perry took the company's side, vetoing a similar bill (HB 2403) during the legislature's regular session.
The Texas Tribune reported that Amazon last week (interesting timing) offered to invest $300 million in about half a dozen warehouse and distribution centers in the state in return for a four-and-a-half year exemption from collecting sales taxes (read here). Perry is keen on the deal, but state lawmakers are not. A $300-million infusion from Amazon would certainly burnish Perry's pro-business/job creation credentials.
What will the Gov. Perry do? Stay tuned …

The United Nations denounced a war crime in Syria when a chilling investigation found that sarin nerve gas was used against civilians including children in three rebel-held suburbs of Damascus.
It was the biggest attack with chemical weapons since Saddam Hussein gassed the Kurdish town of Halabja 25 years ago, the United Nations confirmed.
At the insistence of Syria's regime, the UN mission which investigated the attacks on August 21 was forbidden from identifying the perpetrator.
It did, however, uncover evidence - including the precise weapons used in the assault - which implicates Bashar al-Assad's regime, according to experts.
Presenting the investigation to the Security Council, Ban Ki Moon, the UN Secretary-General, voiced "profound shock and regret at the conclusion that chemical weapons were used on a relatively large scale, resulting in numerous casualties, particularly among civilians and including many children".
Ban said the chilling report had presented overwhelming and indisputable evidence of a war crime.
No one had used poison gas on this scale since Saddam Hussein in 1988, he added.
But Ban declined to apportion blame, saying: "It is for others to decide whether to pursue this matter further to determine responsibility."
The United States has said more than 1400 people died in Ghouta. Its subsequent threat of a military strike has eased following the agreement of a plan with Russia to remove Syria's chemical weapons stock, estimated at more than 1000 tonnes.
The UN inspectors, led by Professor Ake Sellstrom, were in Damascus when the attacks took place. They visited three suburbs and concluded that all suffered bombardment by "surface-to-surface rockets containing the nerve agent sarin".
The clear and convincing evidence came in the form of environmental, chemical and medical samples along with interviews with 50 survivors.
These eyewitnesses reported an attack with shelling followed by the onset of symptoms ranging from blurred vision to vomiting and loss of consciousness. They described how many people were simply incapacitated, found lying on the ground either deceased or unconscious.
Many had been asleep when the rockets fell between 2am and 5am local time, dispersing their toxic cargo. Falling temperatures made the attacks still more deadly.
Instead of rising into the sky, the gas stayed close to the ground and penetrated lower levels of buildings, including the basements where people often slept for shelter.
The UN mission did not compile a death toll, saying only that the "relatively large scale" attack happened "against civilians, including children". In all, the experts visited the locations where five rockets had exploded.
The experts identified two types of artillery-launched rocket: the M14 and the 330mm.
Both are in the armoury of Assad's forces, which also possesses one of the world's biggest stockpiles of sarin nerve gas.
Whether the rebels have captured these delivery systems - along with sarin gas - from government armouries is unknown. Even if they have, experts said that operating these weapons successfully would be exceptionally difficult.
The investigators had enough evidence to trace the trajectories followed by two of the five rockets.
If the data they provide is enough to pinpoint the locations from which the weapons were launched, this should help to settle the question of responsibility.
John Kerry, the US Secretary of State, says the rockets were fired from areas of Damascus under the regime's control, a claim that strongly implicates Assad's forces.
