BUFFALO, N.Y. –The Council on Social Work Education – the nation's most respected social work education organization – has honored University at Buffalo School of Social Work Dean Emeritus Lawrence Shulman with its Significant Lifetime Achievement in Social Work Education Award.
Shulman, who was dean from 1998-2003, is recognized for his dedication to excellence in scholarship and research, pedagogy and curriculum development, and organizational leadership by the CSWE.
"Dr. Shulman's work has shaped social work education around the world for decades," says Nancy J. Smyth, dean of UB's School of Social Work. "We are thrilled that the impact of his many contributions is being recognized with this prestigious award from the Council on Social Work Education."
Shulman and two other recipients of the CSWE's professional recognition awards will be honored at the opening ceremony and awards presentation of the organization's annual program meeting Oct. 23 in Tampa, Florida.
"This will make this year's annual meeting an especially exciting one for him and us," says Smyth.
Schulman remains active in the school, involved in writing papers and doing grant research. The UB School of Social Work recently received a one-year extension, lasting to 2016, of its $87,000 School Violence Prevention program, which Schulman directs. The program is in its third year of providing services to at-risk students and families at the inner-city Lydia T. Wright School for Excellence. A full-time counselor, two UB social work students and a part-time field instructor provide individual and group counseling, mediation, bullying prevention and family interventions.

Those two Earthquakes players you see racing down the wings and creating scoring opportunities have to play defense too.
A lot of defense, actually.
But left back Justin Morrow and right back Steven Beitashour, two of the club's breakout stars, relish their roles as soccer hybrids.
In as much as Chris Wondolowski and Co. gladly support the defense on the unified squad, Morrow and Beitashour are attack-from-the-back multi-taskers. Even if that means keeping their heads on a swivel and making 60-yard hasty retreats in pursuit of speedy opposing forwards.
"We're having a blast, and Frank [Yallop] brings out the best out of everyone because he gives us that freedom to play," Beitashour said.
Indeed, the Quakes' aggressive mindset flows from a former savvy defender, coach Yallop.
"When I played I was an attacking fullback," Yallop said. "I didn't want to sit back and just defend. I wanted to go forward and help my team get a result. I think our defenders like to push forward. Obviously the wide fullbacks need to get forward and do those things, so I think they're excited to do that."
Morrow and Beitashour have some striking similarities:
Both are 25 years old and third-year pros who made their MLS All-Star Game debuts this season, playing effectively as bookend starters against English power Chelsea.
Both had two game-winning assists in the regular season and combined for 10 assists overall.
Both started 33 of the Quakes' 34 games during the team's run to the Supporters' Shield.
Plus, they're about the same size ― Morrow is 5-foot-9 and 165 pounds and Beitashour is 5-10 and 170.
Youth also serves Beitashour and Morrow well.
"They're young and they like to get up and down the field," Yallop said. "Ramiro [Corrales] plays a little bit of a different style, but he likes to get forward too."
Beitashour and Morrow have "attacking soccer" in their resumes.
Beitashour played midfielder and defender his sophomore season at San Diego State, and was a four-year letterman at Leland High in San Jose who led the team in goals his final two seasons.
Morrow, who started in 44 matches his final two seasons at Notre Dame, made the switch from midfielder to left back midway through his senior season.
So, it's no wonder they don't look like lost tourists in an opponent's half of the field.
"I just think that's kind of our personality and the way Frank wants us to play," said Beitashour, who has 13 assists combined over the past two regular seasons. "We love attacking, and our job is to defend, so that's why we both do so much."
During a season of gaudy statistics and historic individual achievement, the Quakes' well-coordinated buildups to the attack, overall fitness and depth tend to get overlooked.
"Everyone's always going to be looking at Wondo to see if he scores the goal, but the hard work that goes around it people kind of look past it, so we just got to keep working hard," Beitashour said. "That's been our motto the whole year: Give 110 percent every game and work for the guy next to you.
"If we keep that going, good things should come."

christmas organization - getting it together
how are your organization skills? is planning your thing? are you good at it?
me - i'm a planner slash list-maker. i live by the list. in fact, i practically have a list of the lists. problem is, sometimes i'm not so good at it. sometimes i forget the list. or i lose the list. or i have plans for a list, but forget to make the list.
seriously, i'm not so bad at it, but i can tell you this... i don't plan like i used to.
these days i "selectively" plan. (sounds like a sister to selective memory, right?)
i plan what i have to, and hopefully don't miss any of those "have to's" if i'm lucky.
the christmas holiday is one of those things that i normally plan. i've tried different methods... kept lists, filled binders with ideas, made advent calendars... i've just plain filled the family calendar with all sorts of activities and traditions. none of these "methods" has stuck with me for very long.
back in 2006, when my youngest child was a mere 7 years old, he surprised me by giving me a lovely red journal for christmas. the truly wonderful thing about it was, although it wasn't on my christmas list, i really did need a journal to record all of our christmas traditions, activities, and gift giving. a christmas journal... it was perfect!
just last week i was wondering about last christmas, trying to remember the details of what we did, gifts we got our boys... that sort of thing. it also occurred to me that i was frantically searching for the perfect size christmas tins at the last minute. why was i doing that? did i write it down? i may still make my lists and write things on the calendar, but i confirm everything we did in that journal. it's my memory on paper.
so i pulled out my handy, dandy, christmas journal to see just what i'd done last year.
much to my dismay, i DID NOT RECORD CHRISTMAS 2010!
WHAT THE HECK? this just threw me into a tailspin.
HOW am i going to remember what i did last year?
WHAT did i need those tins for?
SURELY i needed them for a good reason - but what was it?
WHATEVER will i do????
{i fully realize the insignificance of the little things i obsess about, but this is how my mind works}
now, to remember all the details from an entire year ago. ouch.
to make things worse, last christmas was weird. i didn't plan anything new and we didn't stick to any of our previous plans. we didn't put up a tree - we were just.that.lazy. we thought that as long as the boys didn't care, we wouldn't even bother with getting it out. what's the likelihood that two people as lazy as us would have kids that weren't just as lazy? yep, we pretty much had that deal sealed from the start.
honestly, that is what happens when i don't plan. if we don't have plans or a schedule to follow, the bare minimum gets done. we would all just be blobs on the sofa or in front of the computer screens. nothing deliberate, nothing intentional.
so right now, i'm getting a leg-up on the plans. i'm not going to over-commit, but i'm going to put in an effort. i've got my christmas to-do list started and already have some plans in the works. i'm even thinking of braving a christmas-gift-list-less year. yep... no christmas lists.
this could be the new me... live dangerously, but with a plan.
*if you're thinking about planning and would benefit from an actual christmas planner, check out these cute diy christmas planners.

due to my usual lack of planning, we tore our 15 year old son away from his computer yesterday afternoon, during the crazy-windy, typical november weather to take a few quick snaps of us on the back porch.

fall art project | nappanee photographer
this year, i'm trying to incorporate art into the 6th grader's schedule on an every-other-week basis. i thought about laying out an entire curriculum plan this summer (like being ready ahead of time... that would be amazing!), but instead, it's a work in progress. i'm trying to work it into his history or science or wherever it might tie into something he's already studying. if that happens, it will probably be a happy accident, but i'm doing my best to stay current. i always feel like if it's not planned ahead of time, it will probably flop.
so far it's worked out and it gives me time to get projects ready on the off weeks and it gives the boy a break. me, i don't need an "art break" but i guess art can be tasking on an almost 12 year old boy.
this summer i found a plethora of art teacher blogs. once you start looking around, you'll find that there are entire communities of blogs dedicated to everything you can think of and art teachers is one of them. i've bookmarked tons and will try to share from them often.
i found this project here where it's entitled layered fall leaves. this project is done using actual leaves to trace shape & veins and then the outlining is done with a black sharpie (or in our case we used an american crafts slick writer permanent marker because they're not as "bleedy" as sharpies) and then the coloring is done with oil pastels.
*this is my 2nd time using oil pastels and i am not impressed. i'd frankly rather use crayons. maybe the brand i'm using is just cruddy. someone tell me if they have good experiences with oil pastels so i can see what i'm missing.
i think the boy did a great job; he's very creative. he came up with his own way of blending all by himself & it looks nothing like the sample on the blogsite i got the project from, so i'm impressed.
now i'm off to search through another blog community that i'm SO excited about {enter sarcasm here}: math.... proofs for geometry, to be exact.

how i spent my summer and didn't blog about it
oh my goodness.
i haven't been on the blog since july. JULY.
this summer came and it went... soon we'll be getting ready for thanksgiving.
where has this year gone?
and i know very well that i'm far too old to be writing anything entitled
how i spent my summer, yet here i am.
honestly, i don't really want to talk about my summer.
but if i did, i could tell you about how we stayed home. a lot.
and that we only went swimming twice. all. summer. long.
i could tell you how our garden really stunk and the canning was almost nill.
i could also say that i spent nearly every waking moment researching for this school year, and making sure i was ready to officially home school a high school student. my brain literally hurt at the end of each day, but it was exciting.
i might also tell you that we saw all the big super hero/action movies (thor, green lantern, captain america, pirates of the caribbean, cowboys & aliens), but that might be a little too much insight into the real priorities in my life.
all i know is that i was busy and i did not blog.
and i really didn't miss it. {insert cringe here}
so, i've been thinking about blogging and about not blogging.
i think i'd really like to get back to it. i think i've got some things to say and maybe some resources that others might find useful.
i've got lots of ideas for posts ranging anywhere from ...photos that i'm loving, to teaching my guys greek & latin roots, to an art curriculum i'm designing, to why i tried the no-shampoo method of washing my hair this year.
(yes... yes i did & i know you can't wait to hear about it)
now, i know that all sounds just awesome, yet i find myself struggling just to keep the toilets clean these days!
just keepin it real, peeps.
so how am i going to fit blogging in there? i don't know.
and now i'm having a conversation with myself. ☺
so, give me a shout out. tell me how you do it all, if you do it all,
and what the heck... even if you don't.
throw some encouragement my way!
i could use it right about now.

text: Tuesday, April 26, 2011 AHRQ 'Revisits' Focus on Quality Through New Reports Between 2004 and 2007, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality (AHRQ) published a series of evidence reports—Closing the Quality Gap: A Critical Analysis of Quality Improvement Strategies—that summarized the evidence on quality improvement strategies related to chronic conditions (diabetes, asthma, hypertension), practice areas (prevention of health care-acquired infections, antibiotic prescribing behavior), and cross-cutting priorities (care coordination). A new series of reports, Closing the Quality Gap: Revisiting the State of Science, continues the focus on improving the quality of health care through critical assessment of relevant evidence for selected settings, interventions, and clinical conditions.

WNBA.com caught up with ESPN The Mag EIC Gary Belsky to discuss the cover story on Candace Parker and that infamous "C cup" lede that's gotten some people fired up
Belsky stood by his decision to run it, saying that "it was our writer and Candace, two women, talking about it [C cup boobs] and they felt comfortable", " hetold the website. "It's not the worst thing in the world in a men's magazine to talk about things like that [C cup boobs]. Plus, I understand that some young men are interested in things like that[C cup boobs]."
That's true. Young men are also interested in fast cars, setting things on fire, and videos of Latino teenagers in school girl uniforms fighting in a classroom. But I guess squeezing all of those things into the opening paragraph would make it a little busy. Next time!
Belsky also stands by the decision to put Parker on the cover, even though she's very, very pregnant — a first for a men's sports magazine.
"We don't have any problem when a young man becomes a dad so we shouldn't have any problem when a young woman becomes a mom even if it derails her athletic career for a few months. We are talking about women who are serious athletes so it wouldn't derail their career for too long...I have a couple of nieces who are very good athletes and this cover tells them and every other girl out there that there is nothing that can keep you off the cover of ESPN The Magazine if you are a woman and a good athlete. That's the ultimate message. "
That is the ultimate message — and a good one — but hopefully it won't be misinterpreted by Belsky's nieces as "Uncle Gary encourages us to have lots of unprotected sex."

BEAVERTON, Ore. (AP) -- Nike co-founder Phil Knight has issued a statement blasting the Freeh report's characterization of Penn State coach Joe Paterno in the child sex abuse scandal involving assistant coach Jerry Sandusky.
Following the release last year of former FBI director Louis Freeh's report, Knight issued a statement saying he was saddened that Paterno apparently made missteps that led to "heartbreaking consequences."
But Knight now says that he may have jumped to conclusions, after a new critique that was commissioned by the Paterno family and carried out by experts that included Dick Thornburgh, a former U.S. attorney general and governor of Pennsylvania.
In a statement released Monday, Knight called the findings of the Freeh report unjustified and unsubstantiated. He also criticized the NCAA's subsequent sanctions on Penn State's football program as unwarranted.
"When this tragic story first unfolded Joe cautioned all of us to slow down and carefully gather the facts before jumping to conclusions," Knight said in the statement. "We owed it to the victims, he said, to get to the truth. It was counsel we all should have followed."
Sandusky, 69, is serving a 30- to 60-year prison term for the sexual abuse of 10 boys over a period of 15 years, including attacks on children inside Penn State athletics facilities.
Paterno died in January 2012 at age 85. Knight spoke at Paterno's memorial service, but after the Freeh report was released he took the name off the Joe Paterno Child Development Center at Nike headquarters in Beaverton.
The Freeh report concluded that Paterno and other university officials covered up allegations against Sandusky to spare the university bad publicity. But the family's review said the cover-up claims were inaccurate, were unfounded and equated to a "rush to injustice."
Paterno's family released the review of Freeh's investigation on Sunday. The findings were posted on the website paterno.com.
"There's simply nothing in this record, in the Freeh report, that indicates he (Paterno) was involved in any way," Thornburgh told The Associated Press.
Freeh defended his report.
"I stand by our conclusion that four of the most powerful people at Penn State failed to protect against a child sexual predator harming children for over a decade," he said in a statement issued Sunday through a spokesman.
The NCAA took unprecedented action in the wake of the Freeh report by quickly levying strict sanctions on Penn State's football team, including a four-year bowl ban, strict scholarship cuts and a $60 million fine on the university. College sports' governing body also vacated 111 wins under Paterno, erasing what had been his major college record of 409 career victories.
Knight took issue with the sanctions in his statement, which was first obtained by ESPN.com.
"The NCAA acted outside its charter and rendered judgment absent any kind of investigation or judicial hearing. It was simply grandstanding," Knight said.
An NCAA spokeswoman said the organization stood by its previous statements and declined to comment Sunday.

Saving our Tuna: UNDP and Discovery Channel in Asia offer an inside look at technology to save a way of life in the PacificJun 6, 2014
More than 4.5 million tons of tuna are caught each year as part of a $5 billion industry that is an economic lifeline for Pacific island countries. But for how much longer?
Saving our Tuna, a new half-hour documentary to be broadcast across Asia in June for World Oceans Day, takes you to the richest fishing grounds on the planet, where fleets of fishing vessels equipped with sonar, and sophisticated satellite tracking devices are catching millions of tons of tuna, making it the third most harvested fish in the ocean.
The race is on to see if technology can also help save a commodity that is a way of life for so many. Harvest rates have been increasing dramatically over the last decade, placing pressure on a resource that is vital as a food source and an important means of livelihood.
Produced by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and Arrowhead Films for Discovery Channel in Asia, the movie takes an inside look at tuna technology – how it is used to catch, and perhaps even help save the tuna industry and the livelihoods of tens of thousands of Pacific islanders.
The race is on to save our tuna. "If we lose our tuna, we lose our entire way of life," says Adrian Wickham, General Manager of Tri Marine's National Fisheries Development in the Solomon Islands.
The movie reveals cutting edge air and sea monitoring operations to enforce fishing limit compliance. It brings viewers into the cockpit of the same P3 Orion aircraft as it flies over vast tracks of ocean to crack down on illegal fishing.
Technology is but one part of the tuna picture. UNDP and the Global Environment Facility (GEF) continue to make significant investments to improve fisheries management.
"Overfishing is just one of several challenges to long-term sustainability of the global ocean," says Andrew Hudson, UNDP's Oceans Management expert. "Other threats include pollution, invasive aquatic species, habitat loss, and ocean acidification due to the build up of fossil fuel carbon dioxide in the oceans. UNDP is working on each of these issues at multiple levels with many partners as part of a global effort to restore and protect ocean resources," he says.
"Perhaps nowhere else on earth are fisheries more important to the food security and livelihoods of a region than in the Pacific Islands. For over 15 years, UNDP has been supporting efforts by the 14 Pacific Island countries to sustainably manage these resources vital to the social and economic development of the island communities", says Haoliang Xu, UNDP Director for Asia and the Pacific. It will be broadcast on Discovery Channel across Asia and the Pacific from June 8.

Alternatives to screening colonoscopy demonstrated similar accuracy and lower cost for detecting colorectal cancer in people who had an initial negative colonoscopy, according to a computer simulation of screening strategies.
Annual screening with highly sensitive fecal occult blood testing or fecal immunochemical testing, computed tomographic colonography every 5 years, or screening colonoscopy every 10 years reduced the risk of colorectal cancer by one-third, to almost four-fold compared with no screening, depending on adherence, reported Amy Knudsen, PhD, of Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston, and colleagues.
The two fecal tests and colonography led to similar benefits in life-years gained compared with repeat colonoscopy but with fewer complications, they wrote in Annals of Internal Medicine online.
The estimated lifetime cost per 1,000 persons screened was about $100 to $400 less for occult blood and immunochemical testing and colonography versus colonoscopy.
"Our findings have several implications," said Knudsen. "Colonoscopy has become the accepted standard for colorectal cancer screening in the United States. However, there are not enough trained colonoscopists to perform all of the necessary screening procedures."
"Rescreening with methods other than colonoscopy may help solve this shortage because it would free up scarce colonoscopy personnel to perform more primary screening examinations," her group stated.
Using a baseline of 2008, the investigators concluded that cost savings with either fecal test would amount to $3 billion over the lifetime of people ages 50 to 54 who had negative initial colonoscopy results. With CT colonography every 5 years, the estimated savings would be on the order of $0.6 billion.
Studies have shown that a negative colonoscopy result is associated with a substantially reduced risk of colorectal cancer as compared with individuals who are not screened by any means. The observed low risk has prompted questions about the need for repeat colonoscopy every 10 years after a negative result.
Current screening guidelines and mathematical models used to evaluate them have assumed that a person has only one screening test throughout a lifetime. Using a colorectal cancer simulation model developed by the National Cancer Institute, Knudsen and colleagues evaluated alternative rescreening strategies that might maximize benefits and minimize harms and cost.
The microsimulation model employed a base model of a 50-year-old person who had a negative initial screening colonoscopy (including no adenomas). Investigators evaluated outcomes associated with repeat colonoscopy at 10 years, annual highly sensitive fecal occult blood testing, annual fecal immunochemical testing, and CT colonography every 5 years.
Outcomes with each screening strategy were compared with expected outcomes with no rescreening.
No further screening resulted in 31.3 lifetime cases of colorectal cancer per 1,000 persons, and colorectal cancer mortality of 11.9 per 1,000 persons.
Assuming perfect adherence to the various screening strategies, the investigators found that screening reduced colorectal cancer cases to 7 to 12.6 lifetime cases per 1,000 persons. With imperfect adherence, the screening strategies were associated with 17.7 to 20.9 lifetime cases per 1,000 persons.
Rescreening with colonoscopy every 10 years resulted in the fewest cancer cases and colorectal cancer deaths (7.7 and 2.4 per 1,000 persons, respectively) but also the highest rate of perforation and other complications (1.1 and 20.9 per 1,000 persons, respectively).
Colonography every 5 years detected more cancers (9.3 per 1,000 persons) than colonoscopy, but was associated with slightly more deaths (2.7 per 1,000 persons). The non-invasive procedure was associated with almost 50% fewer perforations and other complications but a larger number of procedures requiring bowel preparation (3,982 per 1,000 persons versus 2,592 per 1,000 persons with colonoscopy).
Estimated life-years gained differed minimally across the screening strategies, regardless of whether adherence was perfect (30,893 to 30,902 life-years per 1,000 persons) or less than perfect (30,865 to 30,869 life-years per 1,000 persons).
Economic analyses were based on the following estimated test costs:
- $23 for highly sensitive fecal occult blood testing
- $46 for fecal immunochemical testing
- $1,153 for colonoscopy without polypectomy
- $1,347 for colonoscopy with polypectomy
- $530 for CT colonography with a lesion size ≥6 mm as the threshold for colonoscopy referral
Estimated costs of managing complications were $15,985 for perforation, $7,784 for bleeding with transfusion, $1,775 for bleeding without transfusion, and $1,195 for other gastrointestinal events.
Lifetime screening- and cancer-related costs were $3,840 per person with colonoscopy, making it the most costly strategy. As compared with colonoscopy, screening with colonography cost $166 per person less, occult blood testing $771 per person less, and fecal immunochemical testing $781 per person less.
The study has some limitations. The authors did not consider the risks and costs of radiation exposure from colonography or the risks, potential benefits, or costs associated with incidental findings detected by colonography. Also data on adherence to rescreening were limited.
The study did not lead to findings that endorsed one screening strategy over the others but did emphasize an important lesson, authors of an accompanying editorial wrote.
"Any effective screening test is better than no test," said David S. Weinberg, MD, of Fox Chase Cancer Center in Philadelphia, and Robert E. Schoen, MD, of the University of Pittsburgh.
"In the United States, we are likely to continue with a smorgasbord of options," Weinberg and Schoen added. "All forms of high-quality, consistent, serial screening seem effective. Patients, providers, and policymakers need to consider which outcomes they value most and the costs required to accomplish them."
The study was supported by the National Cancer Institute.
Knudsen reported no conflicts of interest. Some co-authors reported a relationship with GE Healthcare.
Weinberg reported no conflicts of interest. Schoen reported a relationship with Exact Sciences.

A year ago, common knowledge held that this year's DNC would be the Hillary convention, culminating in a coronation of the first female soon-to-be President. What a difference a year makes. Hillary Clinton will be speaking tonight in Denver on the 88th anniversary of women's suffrage, but as the losing candidate and not the nominee. And the bitterness that was on display at the end of her run has, for some people, not dissipated. So what will tonight change? Probably not very much.
McCain's been using Hillary Clinton's words — and some of her former supporters — to push his own candidacy, even as some of them march in protest in Denver but aren't planning on leaving their party utterly behind.
On the other hand, Clinton's speech tonight is expected to focus less on the history that she made and more on the reasons that McCain needs not to win in November. The catharsis her supporters have been looking for will likely come tomorrow during the roll call vote, rather than during tonight's speech. But, either way, there will always be some people willing to make fools of themselves for the camera — in this case, in support of a candidacy that is long-dead and a candidate-that-was who would probably prefer they follow her now in support of the party to which she's dedicated a good portion of her adult life.

Anvil! The Story of Anvil
Failure is not an option for headbanging band or inspiring documentary
At age 14, two nice Jewish boys from the snowy suburbs of Toronto named Robb Reiner and Steve "Lips" Kudlow bonded over their love of heavy metal music. They made a pact to form a band, play some kick-ass music and keep on rockin' until they become old men—all of which, true to their word, they have done. If you've never heard of Reiner and Kudlow's lifelong labor of love, the self-proclaimed "demigods of Canadian metal" known as Anvil, don't feel too bad. Few people have. Ask the right headbanging veteran, though—as Sacha Gervasi's love letter documentary Anvil! The Story of Anvil does—and you're likely to get a nostalgic lecture. Lemmy from Motörhead, Slash from Guns N' Roses, Lars Ulrich from Metallica, Scott Ian from Anthrax, they all agree: Anvil is the real deal. The band's seminal 1981 album "Metal on Metal" predated the work of Metallica, Slayer, Anthrax and Megadeth and helped birth the outrageous spandex-and-leather era of MTV's "Headbanger's Ball" and beyond.

Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen
Worst ... blockbuster ... ever?
This past weekend, Transformers 2: Revenge of the Fallen opened to some of the worst reviews in recent memory (only 20 percent positive on RottenTomatoes.com) ... and the second-largest box office opening in history ($200 million in its first week). These two facts have led certain very vocal defenders of the film to dredge up the old argument that movie reviewers know nothing, that they are out of touch with modern American tastes. Michael Bay likes it when things explode. He doesn't care why they explode. And neither should you, you Evian-sipping elitist! It's summertime, damn it, and audiences just want to have some fun at the movies!
Idiot Box
As Seen on TV
Billy Mays R.I.P.
These last couple of weeks have been rough ones for the entertainment industry. A number of icons have passed away in quick succession: Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett and Michael Jackson. The "Rule of Three" was proved true with the deaths of these well-known celebrity figures, each of whom had contributed to the evolving television landscape in specific and impactful ways. Late-night television, sexy detectives and MTV would not have been the same without them. But as the tumultuous week came to an end (In what direction was a show like "Entertainment Tonight" supposed to point its cameras?), there came news that a fourth Idiot Box icon had shuffled off this mortal coil. Noted TV pitchman Billy Mays was dead at age 50 from a heart attack.

Being told where patrons of this site can and can not post is not to be tolerated in a modern western society. Infact patrons liberties should be enforced by the mods and not encroached upon!!! WOW This makes me wonder!

Finger and Wallace this topic is not what you two are crying about. DO NOT POST ANYTHING ON ANY TOPIC IN REPORT SECTION IF ITS NOT RELATED TO YOU IN ANY WAYS. YOU DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO SAY ABOUT THE ORIGINAL POSTS.
Now to trace agreed with you in that but really big need to change for guidelines cause this is silly cant even do anything even if I can see its unfair clearly.
Locking this thread cause its going nowhere frm where it started.
Was this English ? I had to read it 3 times and try to understand what it means. Unfortunately I am still not really sure, anyway.
Dont tell me where and where not to comment. Who are you to dictate or encroach upon my Freedom of Speech. Any thread on the this site is related to me and anyone else that is a user of the game, and you and for that matter no one has the right to decide who posts or comments on issues here. There is nothing in the misguided conditions that state patrons cannot comment on the complaints section. And if they did it would breach European Civil Liberties very clearly. If you want to test me on this we can and I will take it further.
So you dont like peoples opinion so you lock the thread!
This is exactly why people have open access to comment on forums. To make sure there is natural checks and balances placed on those in power making wrong decisions. Its incredible how quickly a little bit of powdered power goes to a totalitarian clowns head in this place.
Once again you show the nature of moderation on this site is of a dictatorial approach rather than one of guiding help and adjudication. All things in moderation are exactly the opposite of the extreme position shown to us here. Look up the word moderation in a dictionary and while you are there see if you could possible pick up the English language to the point that you can be understood and should be expected of a mods position.
Why have people put up with this for so long is beyond belief?
Actually correction to that; they have not put up with it, they have all left!

It may sound like a rant because no one has the guts to make any strong points here anymore against what is wrong.
But yes Ranban, I do agree with you completely. My points or anyone elses end up nowhere. Well not exactly true, more than likely they end up in Ban Heaven for going to the trouble.
But where are we at the moment? At the edge of a precipice with no reverse gear. Did I bring us to this position? No I didnt. Do I have a voice ? More than most it seems.
In all the time I have read these forums or been on the game lobby I have seen no progression to a better environment. None what so ever. Exactly the opposite in fact. Only preaching and posturing of little worth and of no construction. Id love to know how it is possible to be constructive or in fact how to reason with the unreasonable? Quite simply there is no mechanism in place for change where change is required.
I am for drastic measures and total realm change. Revolution is a peasants right. Dam it! There is not enough peasants left to man the guillotine! haha
Oh well, at least there is po po po Poker sites and other fun places to be.

Wallace firstly do you even know what exactly rights to freedom of speech means and whats the difference between rights to freedom in normal life and in a internet site or chat sites or forums
just go through this link i hope something will get to your think nuthead with trouble making ideas
Freedom of Speech in Chat rooms and Forums:
Freedom of expression has never meant that a person could use language however she or he saw fit. Freedom of expression was defended on the grounds that rational discourse paid off immensely with respect to education, politics, and personal growth. However language as a tool can serve more than just this purpose. Language can be used in many ways, including as a tool to hurt others.
There is no such concept as absolute freedom of speech.
Life would be quite unlivable if everyone were to be encouraged or for that matter permitted to speak their mind without second thought for the consequences. Absolute freedom of speech would constitute an infringement on freedom to live. There appears to be a fairly common mis-perception that freedom equals license; that being free to do something means you possess an irrevocable license to do it. What seems to be lacking is an understanding that our "rights" also confer an irrevocable responsibility to exercise our freedoms intelligently and responsibly.
IN FACT the first amendment of the US Constitution says: "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances."
This amendment places a limit on the CONGRESS, and by association the government. There is absolutely NOTHING in there which places a limitation on a person or company to regulate speech in their chat room or forum they provide.
Therefore if a website owner, presuming it isn't the U.S. government, wants to restrict speech on their sites there is nothing to prohibit them from doing so.
Not to mention the fact that the U.S. constitution comes to a screaming halt at their border, and contrary to popular American belief, there is a whole world beyond that is certainly not governed by the U.S.
Laughably it seems as though most people approve of free speech, but only when they approve of the content of that speech. As soon as the speech turns to political views they dislike or sexual material that offends them, the principle of freedom of speech disappears!

also i am 100% sure that you dont even will know the meaning of what exactly moderation means in private sites so here for you to see and understand

Second that.
Wallace you can make out from my posts that i m not too happy either the way things run, BUT you sure seem to have crossed the line . Remember this is Kreso's site and its HIS appointed people running the show, you or me cannot come here and claim freedom of speech by default.

It is perfectly constructive. People have the right to comment on the complaints section. What problem do you have with me and that idea!
There are no extras that can land me in trouble. I will be sitting and walking much the same now and after posting. Only enforced draconian rules can deem I will be in trouble for making a point of view.

To the Prince...
Well at least you are debating now instead of making ridiculous orders. Thats a first good step and I welcome that. But you do so only because I make valid points and you dont want to continue looking like the fascist mod that previously was ordering everyone to be quiet. (Shakes head in amazement)
Its my thread, its my view and it is regarding people on this site commenting on the complaints section. It is not about freedom of speech. Freedom of speech is everyones right within the guidelines of that statute. I have not deviated from those guidelines, or even came close to entering into any areas that can be deemed to infringe upon them.
Basically this has been going on long enough. We all have the right to comment on the points in the complaints section and I will do so if I feel it is warranted. People should stop listening to the blanket and draconian orders so easily dished out here. They only listen to this because of the threat of bans, which I and others see to be the main cause of this sites demise.
Yes I fully understand the issues and right of individuals concerning Freedom of Speech and Civil and Social Liberties. And as long as I am living in Europe and providing I do not abuse the rights of another or make unlawful attacks on another honour and reputation (which I have not) I will fully express myself and my views within civil law here very legally. Thank you very much.
It is best not to pull self relevant paragraphs off the internet but rather fully understand the legislation if you want to discuss these issues.

Im not really bothered if your all ears or not. Im talking to anyone that has a mind, a view point and the ability to debate the real issues that are ignored. If you again want to look for details like 'rants' 'promotion of other sites' to put a spin on my points of view, then go for it. Infact i fully expect it.
Promotting other game sites???? haha, that one again. Are you going to ban me for saying im going for a game of poker?
What game site have I promoted. I mentioned Facebook which has been metioned on these forums 110 times. It was in context to why people no longer play here and was perfectly relevant. Dont make another political issue with small points for Gods sake.
If you have a reasonable view on the thread and its topic, feel free, otherwise why troll my thread with your overbearing and mothing instructions once again.
Cant see ma, cant see ma, no he cant see my
Dammit, I cant get that so so so song out my he he he head ...

Its not about if you are allowed to post on report section or not but if something or a report,not related to you and you dont have anything to say regarding the original topic we expect no one to post there.
you think its right if i post about non trading rule(which has nothing to do with your current original topic) in this topic of yours ?
Its just to keep everything in balance ,we ask not to post anything on report section where you are not involved in any way.
Its my thread, its my view and it is regarding people on this site commenting on the complaints section. It is not about freedom of speech.
yes its a different topic thats what i am saying why you have problem i also have rights to say anything anywhere on forum according to your idea of freedom and, by the way its you only whos ranting about freedom of speech without even knowing what it exactly mean, here's an example
Dont tell me where and where not to comment. Who are you to dictate or encroach upon my Freedom of Speech.
as a moderator i have every right to ask you not to post on complaint threads in which you are involved, i am not asking you not to express yourself or anything but complains which are not related to you or you don't have anything to say regarding the original complaint we expect you not to post in there.
like in that post i locked thread you could have said whatever you wanted constructively about the original topic like hhhfan did but to discuss" about bans due to posting on report section" you can use other forum section open a topic and discuss no ones stopping you for that.
It is perfectly constructive. People have the right to comment on the complaints section. What problem do you have with me and that idea!
there is no problem with your idea just wrong place to discuss that
also to add, you are the one and few others who have problem with the banning policy but rules are made by the creator or the owner of the game and if any offence is done according to the banning policy we have full rights to place a ban.Yes there may be some changes necessary in the banning policy but untill necessary changes made practically you must abide by all the rules set by the owner.

LOL, And this is our new Mod.
Sorry but its like debating with my 2 year old. But ok I guess it can be fun if you manage to hold your breath while thinking.
Ok here it is Prince.
Personally I dont think your qualified to be a mod. Your decisions and your ability to explain yourself is limited. In this and the complaints thread in question you have proved this without a shadow of a doubt. Yet you continue to argue that no one has a right to comment on complaint threads?
Sounds like a dictatorship and not a forum. I wouldnt mind if only those in charge were able.
I cant address all that nonsense, thanks for vindicating my arguments. I'm off for a game of poker. LOL

Wallace are you here simply to try an cause trouble, or is there something you actually want altering of which if it is a reasonable request and placed forward in a constructive, non attacking manner I will happily listen to. All the time you insult moderators you're building a wall around yourself and your idea's.
I placed the request that users do not post randomly on complaint threads for which they were not involved, or of which have nothing of value to add to the particular complaint in hand to assist either the player or moderator.
I openly state that members may freely discuss any topic of which may have arose from a complaint of which they feel is of interest, but were not present or giving useful help to that case in hand. You may discuss any issue surrounding a complaint thread, but please use sections such as this one, or the sauna to do so.
HHHfan contributed constructive feedback to the user, and highlighted how they have dealt with the same issue themselves. This is not wrong, in fact his post is very welcome as constructive, relevant to the player who posted.
You however are making argument where there is no real need for one. You just simply wish to have the right to place random comments all over the place wherever you so choose. I ask this doesn't happen in complaints threads, they are important for those placing the complaints. Moderators do not need the added burden of a messy argument thread that goes way off topic when trying to deal with someone's report. Please have some respect for that.

SPARTANBURG, SC-- Hazel "Lucy" Pike Babb, 85, of 131 Marlin Drive, Spartanburg, passed away on Friday, February 1, 2013, at White Oak Estates-Spartanburg. Born October 3, 1927, in Inman, SC, she was a daughter of the late William L. and Eunice Griffin Pike. She was the wife of Glyn C. Babb, a much-devoted and loving husband and caregiver.
Mrs. Babb attended Gramling High School and years later proudly earned her GED at Spartanburg Technical College. She previously worked at Lyman Printing & Finishing in the Cost Department and later at Tietex Corp. Before becoming incapacitated and homebound, she was an active member of Morningside Baptist Church and especially enjoyed singing in the choir.
She was a beautiful woman who was loved by her family and friends for her many gifts of love to them. She was a loving and devoted wife and mother. Some of her interests included playing golf, traveling, and cooking for family and friends.
In addition to her husband, she is survived by her children, a daughter, Dianne Ridings-Norton and her husband A. J., two sons, Gary Claude Ridings and his wife Susan, Tex Warren Ridings and his wife Sandra, all of Moore; three sisters, Jo P. Tiner of Spartanburg, Jeanette P. Smith of Inman, and Elaine P. Lindsey of Wellford; five grandchildren, Geoffrey T. Gillespie of Spartanburg, Jason L. Gillespie of Anderson, J. Barrett Gillespie of Inman, Angela R. Bolds and her husband Heath of Greer, Tyrone W. Ridings of Spartanburg; and seven great-grandchildren. She was predeceased by a sister, Ruth P. Williamson; and a brother, William Hugh Pike, both of Richmond, VA.
Visitation will be 2:00-3:30 PM Sunday, February 3, 2013, at Floyd's Greenlawn Chapel. Funeral services will follow at 4:00 PM, at the Chapel, conducted by the Rev. Dr. Kirk H. Neely. Burial will be in Greenlawn Memorial Gardens.
Pallbearers are Geoffrey T. Gillespie, Jason L. Gillespie, J. Barrett Gillespie, W. Conor Gillespie, A. Jacob Gillespie, and Terry D. Ridings.
In lieu of flowers, memorials may be made to Morningside Baptist Church Building Fund, 897 South Pine Street, Spartanburg, SC 29302; or a charity of one's choice.
The family extends heartfelt love and appreciation to all of the personnel at White Oak Estates, Hospice Care of SC, and family members who cared for Hazel during her years of confinement, but especially to her church family for the many visits, flowers, and cards. She was never forgotten because she was unable to attend for so many years and she never forgot what she referred to as, "my church, Morningside".
The family is at the home.

Moline's Black and White Kitchen
When it comes to kitchens we love open shelving and a comforting, homey atmosphere. But we also like sleek and modern kitchens with simple color palettes and sleek tile. Enter Moline's prefectly balanced black and white kitchen with just enough warmth and just enough modern to make us green with envy.
We found the images in the LA Flickr Pool and love the slightly textured tile, the great light filtering through the windows and the dark walls with the contrasting shelves. The kitchen feels open, accessible and full of what you need to actually cook, but without being cluttered, crowded or messy. We plan to implement more of a Farmhouse kitchen look to our space since it serves to add warmth and love the subtle details: the metro shelving, mason jars full of ingredients, metal ikea tins to help organize, painted wood floors and glossy white cabinets.

Should you tell your kids?
This is the question all of us are grappling with this morning. The horrific Newtown school shooting is inescapable on the news today, and will be for a while – a constant thrum of horror in our hearts and our souls. But we're grown ups. We'll grieve and process and move on. Still that one nagging concern remains for many of us: Do we tell our kids what happened or not?
If the news is a steady presence in your home, chances are they'll glom on to the fact that something is up. If we don't tell them and get the facts straight, they'll probably hear some version of the truth at school. But to tell them this? How?
"Adults like to have all the information and try to make sense of the horribleness. But for kids, it's too much," says Dr Gwenn O'Keeffe, pediatrician, author, health journalist, and CEO of Pediatrics Now. "We have to balance our need to keep up with our need to protect our kids."
Bearing that in mind, O'Keeffe, a member of Parenting's Editorial Advisory Board, has a handful of tips on whether – and how -– to talk to your children about what happened yesterday.
- The ages of your kids will drive whether, and what, you tell them about Newtown. "The first rule of thumb, though, is never lie to your kids," says O'Keeffe. "If they come home and ask you about it, no matter what age they are, tell them the truth. If they're 4 or 6 or 8 and they ask 'was there a school shooting and did people die?' Your answer has to be yes."
- Then you reassure them. Tell them that their school is safe, that your community is different, that there are protections in place and it will never happen to them. "Even if you're not sure that's true, you have to make sure that they believe it. They have to go to school every day."
- Ask your kids what they've heard. Even if they don't ask you about Newton, they do go to school with older kids. Children catch wind fairly quickly when something serious is up. Some kids will luck out and not hear anything at all. But the news flows like water – it gets through cracks you don't even know are there. And facts get twisted on the playground. "The only way you're going to know if your kids have heard something is if you ask them," says O'Keeffe. When they're as young as 4, don't bring it up. But a 7-year-old will possibly have heard something. Approach her during a quiet moment or at snack time, says O'Keeffe. Gingerly broach the topic. Say something like "theres been a lot of talk in our country that about something that happened at a school in Connecticut that was very upsetting. Has anybody talked about that at school?" If they haven't heard, let them know they can ask you anything they want.
- Remain calm. If you do tell them what happened, make sure you're coming from your calmest, most reassuring place. "Don't overload them. Don't go on a whole speech about gun control or school safety," says O'Keeffe. And give them space. They're children and they may not know how to respond right away. They may look at you and go out of the room and do something else. Maybe they'll come back and ask questions later, maybe they won't. "Allow them to have whatever response they have unless it's interfering with their ability to go through the day, it's all expected," says O'Keeffe.
- If the news is interfering with your kids or anyone in your family, "seek help right away," O'Keeffe advises. This will usually manifest in a lot of anxiety and a lot of grief, anxiousness about the safety of their family. In more serious cases, physical symptoms could include headaches, stomach aches, inability to function as usual or a reluctance to go to school. "This isn't something you'd want to wait out."
- Monitor the media intake for everyone in the family. Even if you only watch CNN when the kids are in bed, there's the chance they may not be able to get to sleep and can hear the newscaster, the interviews. Coverage of events like this can range from incredibly tactful to incredibly sensational. Be aware of who is watching what around the home, says O'Keeffe. That goes for grown-ups too. "You don't need to watch the news 24/7," she adds. "That creates overanxeity in all of us. Resist that temptation. Go about your life. That's the best thing you can do to honor these people."

A government spokesman today (April 25) reminded residents that the Black Outbound Travel Alert (OTA) for Thailand (Bangkok) is still in force.
Residents are urged to avoid all travel to Bangkok. Those already there should attend to their personal safety and avoid protests and large gatherings of people.
The spokesman said, "According to the latest information provided by the airlines, there will be adequate capacity for Hong Kong-bound flights from Bangkok in the coming two days to meet the needs of Hong Kong residents wishing to come back. Those in Bangkok who need assistance may call the 24-hour hotline of the Immigration Department (852) 1868."
As at 5pm today (April 25), the Assistance to Hong Kong Residents Unit (AHU) of the Immigration Department had handled six assistance cases since the Black OTA for Thailand (Bangkok) was issued on April 10. The assistance cases involved loss of travel documents in Bangkok and difficulty in arranging earlier flights back to Hong Kong. All the cases have been resolved.
Since March 10, 403 enquiries have been received. They were mainly about the OTA in force, local flight information and the latest situation in Bangkok.
The Security Bureau together with other relevant government bureaux and departments are closely monitoring the situation in Bangkok and surrounding areas. They have been in close liaison with the Office of the Commissioner of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the People's Republic of China in Hong Kong and the Chinese Embassy in Thailand. Any update will be issued through the media and the OTA webpage www.sb.gov.hk/eng/ota.

Data for Lasik Surgery PatientsThe Lasik operation can be a fantastic, life-altering choice for many people whose vision is less than perfect. There are numerous different kinds of Lasik operations now readily available, from the initial and well recorded procedure to Lasik treatments made with 3 dimensional wavefronts, or done entirely with lasers. Each of these variations of the Lasik treatment should be gone over with the physician that is to perform the operation.
Like any surgical treatment, Lasik does have the potential for side effects.
In some cases checking out the horror stories of the results of a Lasik treatment can discourage people from seriously thinking about such a choice. It is also real that the huge numbers of individuals who have a successful, hassle-free Lasik surgery tend not to report a detailed and long story of their experience, unlike those that have actually experienced problem later.
However, it readies to know what the possible side effects of the Lasik treatment are, as well as the likelihood that a person of these side effects will happen for a particular patient. Much like any medicine we take, each has a possible variety of side effects, but we generally assume that the likelihood of a major negative effects is little, and we take the medication anyhow. This article will hopefully put issues of the prospective Lasik patient into viewpoint so that they can calmly and thoughtfully contemplate having a Lasik procedure performed in the future.
More than one million Lasik procedures are performed in the United States every year, inning accordance with the FDA. This arm of the nationwide government has collected the following stats for the most typical negative effects of This Site the Lasik procedure. These stats will likewise vary by the doctor carrying out the surgical treatment, so make certain to obtain as much information on the prospective Lasik physician as possible.
After Lasik surgery, 1.7 percent of patients experience some glare or sensitivity to light after the operation. This varies by patient, but this sensitivity is particularly noticeable when taking a look at a brilliant light, such as a streetlight when walking at night, or other strong light and dark contrast. Another light related adverse effects is a halo around a light, and this happens in 3.5 percent of Lasik clients.
The new, fixed vision can be observed quickly by some Lasik patients, in as low as a couple of hours after surgery. Most clients that have gone through the Lasik treatment discover the change is permanent within a couple of days. In 2.6 percent of customers that have had a Lasik procedure done, there is relentless visual fluctuation within a minimum of a part of their sphere of vision.
Lastly, some patients do not get a fully remedied sphere of vision after their Lasik procedure. This happens with a small number of customers, and the FDA stats click this are that just 3 percent of patients have this effect. In all or nearly all cases, the doctor in charge will perform an extra Lasik procedure to improve this.
This detailing of the significant permanent negative effects of the Lasik procedure should put any personal scary stories into point of view. Notice that none of the portions are above 3 percent, and this should bring convenience to many potential Lasik clients. Nevertheless, it should likewise motivate them to look carefully at the Lasik doctor's personal record.
There are numerous different types of Lasik operations now offered, from the original and well recorded treatment to Lasik procedures done with three dimensional wavefronts, or done totally with lasers. It is good to know what the possible side effects of the Lasik procedure are, and also the probability that one of these side effects will happen for a specific client. Many patients that have undergone the Lasik procedure discover the modification is irreversible within a couple of days. Some patients linked here do not get a fully fixed sphere of vision after their Lasik treatment.

The current Student Union building was completed in 1954. The first addition was opened in 1963 and the second addition was completed ten years later. On September 24, 1983, the name of the Student Union was officially changed to the Adele H. Stamp Union in honor of Adele H. Stamp, the Dean of Women from 1922 to 1960. In 1988, the Union was renamed the Stamp Student Union, in order to make the name more representative of the building's function.

Although I have been involved in genealogy for some 10 years for various reasons I have not visited Genealogy Fairs until this year. I have attended fairs at Stockport, York and Newcastle on Tyne, and broadly speaking my reaction has been favourable. But why?
Visiting the various companies displaying their software, books, charts etc. is interesting, but hardly earth shattering, although I have usually found two or three things which are of use to me, usually books or specific data discs. If I was asked whether I would go specifically to have a look at the wares on sale, then probably not.
No, what has been of most use has been the help available from "information providers". Whilst companies such as Ancestry, Findmypast, and The Genealogist are frequently represented at these fairs, it is not these to which I refer, largely because I am reasonably familiar with their range of services, but I do recognize that they will be valuable to those who are not. Their stands are always very busy, maybe because they often offer free access!
What I find most attractive are the genealogy organisations, the local family history societies and national organisations, such as The Genealogy Society, Local and National Archives, and many others, strictly speaking some may not be genealogy societies but concern themselves with aspects of out history, eg. The Indian Army. Following my visit to the York Fair, I am pretty sure that I have found my 5th great-grandfather from an idea I picked up at a local fhs stall.
If you are considering going to one of these fairs my recommendation would be to look carefully at which societies will be exhibiting rather than at the commercial concerns who, in general, will be there anyhow. Look for family history societies and local archivists from the areas in which you are researching. The national organisations can also give invaluable advice on where to look for information.
Finally, before going do ensure that you have noted exactly what you need to know. There is nothing worse than going to a stall and not be able to remember a name or place. Take my word for it - I know!
