Atomic Iran (Hardcover) and Atomic Jihad (DVD) BUNDLE!
Atomic Iran Product Description
By Jerome R. Corsi, Ph.D.
Unprecedented and historic events are unfolding almost daily in the Middle East, but nowhere is the gathering threat more serious and deadly than in the Islamic Republic of Iran.
A charter member of the "axis of evil," this rogue terrorist state and the mullahs who govern it are on a collision course with American and European governments that seek to end its development of nuclear weapons. The influence of Iran cannot be discounted, however, because it has perfected the art of oil price manipulation in order to fund its nuclear endeavors, terrorist activities, and strategic contributions to key U.S. politicians who, in turn, work diligently at normalizing diplomatic and trade relations between the two nations.
In "Atomic Iran," Jerome Corsi, co-author of the best-selling "Unfit for Command," uncovers the true intentions and practices of the Iranian regime and gives light to the aid and comfort being supplied by some key U.S. politicians.
Uncovered is a web of pro-Iranian financiers who make significant campaign contributions to political leaders who affect U.S. trade policy towards Iran and are able to work at normalizing diplomatic relations, thereby legitimizing the rogue republic. This poses an immediate security threat to the United States. It allows the regime to take advantage of relaxations in the Patriot Act to begin importing terrorists under the disguise of diplomatic personnel.
Also revealed is the manipulation of world oil prices by Iran. Its restriction of supply has the dual effect of hindering the growth of world economies and increasing revenue for Iran, which is then used to fund international terrorism and its own deadly pursuits. Dr. Corsi warns that a nuclear Iran would devastate the Middle East through its tyrannical policies and threats and would have a significant impact on the world by using its control of 40 percent of the global oil supply to hold nations hostage with oil prices rising to over $100 and even $200 per barrel.
"Atomic Iran" is a wake-up call to Americans. It is a call to pay attention to the growing crisis with Iran and to hold U.S. politicians accountable for their relationships with and efforts on behalf of the Iranian regime. By understanding the events that led to Iran's arrival at the verge of nuclear statehood, the intentions of the mullahs, their connection with American politicians, and the severe repercussions to be suffered from allowing the regime to proceed with its plans, readers of "Atomic Iran" will be equipped to take the debate to their local communities and to the officials they have entrusted with their safety and security.
JEROME R. CORSI, PH.D., co-author of the New York Times #1 bestseller, "Unfit for Command," received his Ph.D. from Harvard University and is an expert on America's antiwar movement and political violence. He is the author of many articles and books and lives in New Jersey.

Atomic Jihad Product Description
By Joel Gilbert
Since its Islamic Revolution of 1979, Iran has been the undisputed leader of Islamism, the worldwide movement for Islamic revival. Islamism seeks to resurrect Muslim society from 300 years of decline by returning to its historic formula for success: Islamic law and government over Muslim lands. Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has carefully laid out the Islamist view of the world for several years. He depicts a morally superior Muslim society based on Islamic concepts of justice, equality, and human dignity, while proclaiming America selfish, corrupt, hypocritical, and oppressive. Islamist animosity toward America also focuses on U.S. alliances with autocratic regimes in the Muslim world like Egypt, Jordan and Saudi Arabia as well as American support for Israel, "the illegitimate offspring of the Great Satan."
In order to achieve "a new beginning with the Muslim world," President Barack Obama has emphasized the"shared hopes and common dreams" of America and Islam, while expressing regret over past U.S. treatment of Muslim nations. Meanwhile, Obama is committed to diplomacy with Iran as the path toward nuclear compromise and reconciliation. However, despite having "generations of Muslims" in his family, does President Obama really understand Islam's world view? By tracing the history of Islam's great conquests and determined struggles against non-believers since the time of the Prophet Muhammad, Director Joel Gilbert illustrates that Islam's values and goals are decidedly different from and mostly incompatible with Western secular society.
"Marg-bar Amreeka (Death to America)!" Atomic Jihad leaves little doubt that Iran is in the final stages of preparing a Coming War for Islamic Revival. Meanwhile, by seeking to appease Ahmadinejad with "change" in U.S. Middle East policy, President Obama is ushering in the Politics of Defeat for America. If successful in its nuclear program, Iran and its allies will finally possess the means to achieve their ultimate goals - the defeat of America and the return of Islam to past glory.

(St. Louis Post-Dispatch (MCT)) In a Missouri Legislature obsessed with wedge political issues designed more for enraging conservatives than for solving real-world problems, it's a rare thing when a lawmaker makes a heartfelt, personal plea that moves his colleagues to support a meaningful issue.
Sen. Eric Schmitt, R-Glendale, has had two such moments.
The first came in 2010, when Mr. Schmitt — with his wife, Jaime, and son, Stephen, watching in the Senate chamber — explained Stephen's struggles with autism. The Senate was moved to approve a mandate requiring insurers in Missouri to pay for certain treatments for children with the condition.
Last Thursday, Mr. Schmitt had a second such moment. Again, his family was in the chamber as he calmly walked through the times he had held Stephen through epileptic seizures, some of them lasting as long as four hours. He was urging colleagues to pass a bill that would allow hemp oil to be produced and sold under strict conditions in the state. The oil, a byproduct of marijuana, is believed by some medical experts to help ease certain types of epilepsy.
"There is really nowhere else for us to go," Mr. Schmitt told his colleagues. He said the Legislature needs to act so that people like 23-month-old June Jessee of Brentwood don't have to move out of state to access potentially life-saving treatment. June's family is moving to Colorado, where the hemp byproduct, CDB oil, is legal. June's father, Matt, is a lawyer with Bryan Cave and a lobbyist. He helped get the ball rolling on the passage of House Bill 2238 by mentioning the issue to Rep. Caleb Jones, R-California, the sponsor of the bill.
The Senate passed the bill 32-0. The House passed it the same day, 136-12.
The bill now sits on the desk of Gov. Jay Nixon. He should sign it. It's a good bill. It doesn't provide for other forms of medical marijuana, though those are good ideas, too.
But here, as Paul Harvey would say, is the rest of the story.
On the same day lawmakers were making sure that the son of a state senator and the daughter of a well-connected lawyer and lobbyist could access special treatments, they were turning their backs on other children, most of them from poor families, all over Missouri.
The House on Thursday voted against a proposal to try to improve Missouri's longtime status as a state with one of the higher infant mortality rates in the nation. In Missouri, more than 6 infants per thousand births die, higher than 27 other states, according to the Centers for Disease Control. The problem is most acute in rural Missouri, where smaller hospitals face increasing financial pressures because of the Legislature's failure to expand Medicaid, thereby putting billions of federal dollars to work making the state healthier.
The House previously had given preliminary approval to House Bill 1898, sponsored by Rep. Kurt Bahr, R-O'Fallon. It merely would have urged the governor to appoint a panel of medical experts to study and suggest ways to decrease the state's infant mortality rate.
But on Thursday, 180 degrees removed from what Mr. Schmitt was doing in the Senate, Rep. Keith Frederick, R-Rolla, turned some of his Republican colleagues against the bill.
He did this by waving the bloody Obamacare flag, claiming that a bill intended to save the lives of infants, primarily in difficult pregnancies, smacks of too much "central planning."
The House, which knows nothing about Obamacare except that it hates it and which, by the way, protects children before they're born way better than after they're born, went along with this spurious argument.
Over in the Senate, Mr. Schmitt had been arguing, "We have the ability to allow something great to happen, to literally save lives."
On the other side of the rotunda, lives of poor children and their families were being trashed.
We fully support Mr. Schmitt's bill. There is no doubt of his love for his son. The sacrifices he and his wife have made are awe-inspiring. Stephen Schmitt is a special kid.
But state lawmakers are sent to Jefferson City to care for all of the state's children, and all of them are special.
When will Missouri's legislators stand up for children they've never met, with a simple vote that would save hundreds, perhaps thousands, more lives than hemp oil, a fairly untested treatment?
There is a reason that states suddenly have new freedom to pass hemp laws and not find themselves in conflict with federal law. The hemp industry inserted a provision in the 2014 Farm Bill that passed Congress to ease the way for hemp-specific agricultural efforts on a state-by-state basis.
You know who signed that bill?
President Barack Obama.
Might as well call it ObamaOil.
There is still time in this legislative session for Mr. Schmitt to join his colleague, Sen. Ryan Silvey, R-Kansas City, and House Rep. Jay Barnes, R-Jefferson City, in pushing for Medicaid expansion. There is time for the anti-Obama obsession to be replaced by serious statesmen looking into their hearts and asking themselves: "What have I done to serve the people, today?"
Saving lives isn't just the right thing to do. It isn't about one lawmaker's and one lobbyist's precious children. It's what lawmakers signed up for when they agreed to serve their fellow citizens.
Missouri lawmakers have proven they aren't against health care mandates when the beneficiary is one of their own.
They've proven they care enough about children that they will cast a vote for a treatment that some will rightly see as contradicting previous positions.
Now for the heavy lifting: Vote for the children and families of hundreds of thousands of the state's working poor who desperately need access to health care. Vote for people you've never met who want the same thing Stephen does: Hope.

Warm Front scheme closing: apply now for free insulation
There are only days left to apply for a Government grant to improve the heating or insulation in your home via the Warm Front scheme.
The closing date for applications is currently this Saturday (19th January). However, Labour has called for the scheme to be extended after revealing that only half of the budget allocated to it has been spent.
How Warm Front works
The scheme, which provides up to £3,500 for work on your home, is only available in England. The work can include loft, cavity wall or hot water tank insulation, draught proofing and replacement heating.
The money is paid directly to a Government-approved company, which will carry out the work.
To qualify, you must own your own home or be renting it from a private landlord and be receiving one of the following income-related benefits:
- Pension Credit – the Guaranteed Credit or Savings Credit element
- The support or work related element of income-related
- Employment and Support Allowance Child Tax Credit – and your income is £15,860 or less
- Working Tax Credit
- Income Support or income-based Jobseeker's Allowance.
If you receive either Working Tax Credit or Income Support or income-based Jobseeker's Allowance, you must meet other conditions in order to be eligible to apply. There are full details on the GOV.UK website.
How to claim
You can claim online via the Warm Front website, by phoning 0300 123 1234 (Monday to Friday 8am-6pm, Saturday 9am-5pm) or by filling out the application form and posting it to:
Warm Front Carillion Energy Services
Newcastle upon Tyne
The Warm Front scheme is being replaced by the Energy Company Obligation (ECO). This obliges energy companies to offer £540 million of free support to improve the energy efficiency of homes owned by people on the lowest incomes.
The ECO scheme will run in tandem with the Government's new Green Deal, which offers loans to pay for energy efficiency and renewable energy measures. These loans are then repaid via a household's energy bills.
Help for people elsewhere in the UK
If you live in Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland, you could be eligible for help from another scheme. Read Don't miss out on free insulation and heating schemes for more information on these.

M6: Techniques for atmosphere-ocean wave coupling
Principal investigators: Prof. Michael Hinze (Universität Hamburg), Dr. Jeff Carpenter (Helmholtz Center Geesthacht)
We propose to develop new techniques to examine the energy pathways between the atmosphere and ocean due to the dynamics of wind-generated ocean surface waves. This is done primarily through the development of a numerical process model to describe the physical effects at the sharp density interface between atmosphere and ocean, as well as a novel field campaign designed to measure the near-surface ocean energy budget. The connection between these two different methods of analysing the surface wave energy processes will be developed primarily in the future stages of the research proposal. However, a comparison and validation of the numerical model is planned through the analysis and simulation of collected laboratory data using the field methods. Therefore, the primary goal of this subproject is to build up the infrastructure for new process modelling of atmosphere-ocean coupling that is required for the next phase of the CRC.
The numerical modelling will be developed with the help of diffuse interface approaches for multiphase flows with variable densities. Using a variable-density model results in a system of the Cahn-Hilliard/Navier-Stokes type that has already been used to successfully simulate idealised bubble dynamics. We tackle this mathematical model numerically with fully adaptive and integrated numerical schemes tailored to the simulation of variable density multiphase flows governed by diffuse interface models. Our approach is based on a fully adaptive, integrated, efficient, and reliable, numerical method for the simulation of two-dimensional multiphase flows with variable densities. Here, fully adaptive, integrated, efficient, and reliable means that the mesh resolution is chosen by the numerical algorithm according to a prescribed error tolerance in the a posteriori error control on the basis of residual-based error indicators, which allow to estimate the true error from below (efficient) and from above (reliable). The diffuse interface method provides a thermodynamically consistent treatment of the air-water interface that will be extended to model the growth and evolution of wind-generated water waves, and in the next phase of the CRC, atmosphere-ocean interaction. To the best of the applicants knowledge this study would be the first to develop a diffuse interface model to be used in the study of atmosphere-ocean interactions. This shall be done by extending our approach to the simulation of three-dimensional flows, where we incorporate the simulation of surface waves via appropriate forcing terms and boundary conditions. We envision that the development of such a model will allow for detailed process modelling that permits a new understanding and parameterisation of atmosphere-ocean energy transfers.
Parallel with the development of such a model, we propose to conduct a field study to quantify the near-surface energy budget. This would be done by extending an already funded project being carried out at the Helmholtz Zentrum Geesthacht (HZG) designed to measure wind energy input to surface waves. Through this already planned field work, the particle imaging velocimetry (PIV) and laser induced fluorescence (LIF) techniques will be used in situ. As a part of the present CRC project, we shall extend the existing field work to measure the dissipation of energy in the surface wave field and upper ocean mixed layer. This will be done by providing direct microstructure-based and PIV-based measurements of upper ocean turbulence dissipation, as well as through optical techniques of measuring whitecap coverage and wave breaking statistics. This experiment will be the first to combine both energy input and dissipation estimates using these techniques to the surface wave field, and can be used to construct a near-surface ocean energy budget.

Open Thread: Talk About What Matters Most to You
Discuss and debate the issues that mean the most to you.
"Blurred Lines": I loathe its message, but I'll admit -- I've Spotified that sh*t more than once (it's nothing if not painfully catchy). Now summer's no.1 "kind of rapey" hit that won't die is under the microscope again, this time in a line-by-line takedown at Sociological Images. The piece contrasts the song's lyrics with images of real-life women who have been raped -- and the result is pretty disturbing.The women (and one man) in each picture -- originally from an online photo essay exhibit called Project Unbreakable -- are holding up signs of phrases their rapists said before, during, or after their assaults. Those words are unnervingly similar to some of Robin Thicke's lyrics about what he apparently sees as a hazy grey area between consensual sex and rape."You're a good girl," one Thicke lyric, is offset with images of both a man and a woman holding up signs -- the woman's says, simply, "good girl," while the man's reads, "Be a good girl, don't say anything, OK?" Apparently, for "good girls," silence means "yes" -- but "no" actually means "yes," too. SO CONFUSING.
Also, as the writer at Sociological Images notes, calling an adult a "good girl" in this context plays into the vile and disturbingly common virgin/whore thing, used to reduce women's sexualities to a base, colorless either/or scenario. "Blurred Lines" seems to imply that a woman who isn't receptive to a dude's advances (which are irresistible, obvs) is just hiding her lust under a feigned front of disinterest. Thicke's lyrics also highlight the idea that a woman is too clueless and small-minded to actually know herself well enough to determine what the hell she wants -- so she'd best just lay back and let a man figure it out for her (with his penis, of course). Men always know best!
This idea is offset with an image of a woman holding a sign over her face that reads, "The next day he told me 'you said no but your body told me yes.' I thought it was my fault. He was 28, I just turned 18…"
Another lyric, "The way you grab me. Must wanna get nasty," is paired with an image of a woman's sign reading, "You can't have a drink with someone and expect this not to happen." Because a woman who goes for drinks with a guy, or wears a skirt to a bar, or walks home alone, or gives her number out, or smiles, or what the hell ever, is always CLEARLY asking for it -- right? Yes indeed, according to victim-blaming rapists (and possibly Robin Thicke?).
Also, per Thicke's masterpiece, women love being hurt in the name of sex -- we want to be treated like shit, see: "Nothing like your last guy, he too square for you. He don't smack your ass and pull your hair like that." (Of course, some women DO enjoy pain during sex, and there's nothing wrong with that -- but certainly not all of them, and not when it's nonconsensual.) That lyric is illustrated with a particularly discomfiting woman's sign that reads, "Stop pretending that you are a human being." Um, not much else to say about that one; I think I need to vomit now.
Check out the rest of the story (and prepare to spew, yourself, with this one: "I'll give you something to tear your ass in two"). Yes, I know they're just song lyrics. And yes, I know Thicke might not have written them with the intention of promoting rape. That doesn't mean he's not aware of (or responsible for) his words, and the severely skewed message they send about sex and consent. As he admitted to GQ, "People say, 'Hey, do you think this is degrading to women?' I'm like, 'Of course it is. What a pleasure it is to degrade a woman. I've never gotten to do that before. I've always respected women'."
He sure has a funny way of showing it.
I'm on Twitter.

Anchorman 3 Could Be About Iraq or New Media, So Let's Just Go Ahead and Do Both
Sixty percent of the time, the Operation Desert Storm worked every time.
The end of The Colbert Report does leave a giant blowhard-size hole in our political-satire landscape. On the other hand, I would personally love watching Ron Burgundy argue with the AOL "You've Got Mail!" voice. Despite what he said last year about the Anchorman franchise being kaput, Adam McKay is apparently weighing the same tradeoffs, as evidenced by a recent Yahoo Movies interview.
"We talked about doing one that was about the rise of the new media," The Big Short director explained. "I also thought there was something to the idea — and who knows, maybe we will do one some day — I also thought it'd be cool to have Ron Burgundy get embedded in the Iraq War. We kicked around that idea. But we've never got that serious about it, but it would have to be the next stage of what the media has become. And I think you're right, I think it's the internet. The only thing is by then Burgundy would be getting pretty old. So maybe it's a movie we make in 10 years, when Will's aged up and it actually makes sense that you can set it in 1997 or 98." This is perfect. We can have Ron Burgundy cover the Gulf War, end up in a coma, and then wake up just in time to scream hysterically at the sound of a connecting modem. And so it was decided.

(Updated April 2008)
Patients may have difficulty talking to health care providers about sexuality and sexual health for many reasons, even when they clearly are sexually active. Most people are not raised to discuss sexual matters openly, and when sexuality is taught, it is often done in negative terms. As patients move through the stages of life, the dialogue with providers on this topic will evolve; a conversation with a sexually active adolescent should differ significantly from a discussion with a married perimenopausal woman.
Research suggests that communication between health care providers and patients can improve sexual health. Effective patient/provider communication has been correlated with increased use of condoms, whereas lack of communication about sex is a risk factor for HIV and STIs (sexually transmitted infections).1 Many providers say they dont broach sexuality issues because they lack the training and skills to deal with these concerns, are uncomfortable with the subject, fear offending the patient, have no treatments to offer, or feel constrained by time.2,3 At the same time, 68 percent of patients surveyed cited fear of embarrassing a provider as a reason for not broaching sexuality issues.4 Clearly, discussing sexuality is difficult for many providers and their patients.
To facilitate effective communication with patients on sexuality and sexual health, providers should5:
Some providers may feel that their patients sexual lives are too personal to ask about, and patients may assume that their providers will tell them what they need to know. Communication about sexual health is a complex matter influenced by many factors. It is important for providers to:5
Taking a patients sexual history can facilitate a discussion on sexuality and sexual health and neednt take an inordinate amount of time.3 The following questions convey your willingness to discuss sexual issues:
Additional questions can include:
If a patients answers suggest that she wants to discuss sexual issues, the following questions might be productive:
A sexual history should include standard questions about menstrual and obstetric history: age at onset of menses, dates of last menstrual period, characteristics of menstrual periods, problems associated with menses in the past, pregnancy-related problems, and symptoms of perimenopause or menopause.3
Although talking about sex can be difficult for patients and providers, practicing and using the skills that promote candid communication will help to ensure the best possible care.

Luxurious Ubud Holidays
Ubud is the cultural and arts centre of Bali. With its historic landmarks and traditional Balinese architecture, the village makes for the perfect tropical holiday. Ubud's recorded history dates back over 1,000 years and in many ways its past reflects the history of all of Bali. Ancient temples, imposing gates and momentous sculptures all tell the story of this remarkable village and its rich island culture.
Just an hour away from Denpasar Airport and Kuta Beach, Ubud offers a mesmerising mix of upbeat village activity and peaceful countryside, where rice paddies, river valleys and rainforests meld into one stunning rural backdrop.
Another of Ubud's delightful attractions is its many excellent restaurants and premier resorts. The restaurant and accommodation scene rivals that of any location in Southeast Asia and a stay here is often times the highlight of any Bali experience.
Things to see & do in Ubud
Goa Gajah – Goa Gajah, or Elephant Cave, is a 9th century bathing pool temple. It is believed that this cleansing sanctuary was used to ward off evil spirits as evidenced by the ominous looking stone creatures carved around the Elephant Cave entrance. The entrance to the remarkable pools area is via the chiselled 'elephant mouth' cave opening. Walk the inviting pathway which leads to a picturesque waterfall and rice fields for an interesting all around cultural experience.
Rice Terraces – Much of the area around Ubud consists of watery rice fields and elaborately elevated rice terraces. Beautiful rainforest backdrops and lush green river valleys provide unique Balinese settings and offer the ideal photographic landscape. One of the most picturesque rice terraces is at Tegalalang, just north of Ubud. The intricate terraces can be seen from the elevated roadway which provides sweeping views of the famous agriculture area.
Markets and Shops - Ubud offers a great mix of shopping, especially if you enjoy cultural selections from handmade wood and stone carvings, jewellery and other arts and crafts. The village also features small clothing stores, antique and gift shops and even a collection of bookstores and gourmet food retailers.
Where to stay
The only difficulty with Ubud accommodation is deciding which magnificent resort to stay at. Ubud is known for its world class retreats, where dense, lush rainforests and picturesque rice terraces provide the perfect backdrop for the luxurious resort surroundings.
Most hotels and resorts are found in rural areas away from the centre of town. Situated within striking mountain gorges with views of picturesque rice terraces, rolling hills and dense, green river valleys, the villas and resorts provide a gorgeous sanctuary in which to relax and enjoy the many scenic wonders.
Accommodation types range from modest but inviting cottages to private, intimate villas and full scale resorts where your every want and need is catered to. But no matter what type of property suits your fancy, Ubud and its lovely settings are sure to impress.

Madison Keys ensured an all-American semifinal draw at the U.S. Open after outclassing Kaia Kanepi in straight sets.
Coco Vandeweghe stunned world No. 1 Karolina Pliskova earlier Wednesday to join countrywomen Venus Williams and Sloane Stephens in the final four at Flushing Meadows.
And 15th seed Keys rounded out a perfect day for the United States with a dominant 6-3, 6-3 victory in New York.
It is the first time since 1981 that all four semifinalists at the U.S. Open are American as Keys prepares to face Vandeweghe.
"It's pretty cool," Keys said of having all-American semifinals.
It was a smooth start from Kanepi, who earned two early break point opportunities. But Keys dug herself out of a 15-40 hole and fended off another with an ace down the tee as she held in the second game.
With the support of a partisan crowd, Keys then claimed the one and only break for a 3-1 lead.
Keys never looked back as she raced through the opening set in less than half-an-hour, highlighted by her five aces and 12 winners.
Kanepi huffed and puffed, saving two break points in the fifth game to stay alive in the second set.
However, she could not find a way past Keys' impenetrable serve, despite saving a match point and then earning a break point chance, as the latter reached the semifinal of a grand slam for the second time, having featured in the final four at the 2015 Australian Open.

The Cartoon Museum is the only museum in Britain dedicated to collecting and displaying original British cartoons and comics. Over the last ten years, thanks mainly to the generosity of many artists and artists' families, the Cartoon Museum's collection of original comic artwork has grown. However there remains a number of significant gaps which are only bridged by loans from artists and private collectors. The Comic Creators project will enable the museum to purchase a large number original pieces of comic artwork for the Cartoon Museum collection and develop exhibitions, activities and events which will share Britain's comic heritage with a wider public, not just in London but across the country.
Amongst the characters the museum is hoping to collect are Dennis the Menace, The Bash Street Kids, Desperate Dan, Ally Sloper, Belle of the Ballet, Dan Dare, Judge Dredd, Watchmen, The Four Marys, Lord Snooty, Roy of the Rovers, Captain Hurricane, The Fat Slags, Slaine, Gemma Bovery, Modesty Blaise, Doctor Who, Thunderbirds, Rupert, Marvelman, V for Vendetta and Tank Girl.
The success of the British Library's recent comics exhibition Comics Unmasked highlighted the range and depth of Britain's comic heritage. In recent years comic artwork has become increasingly collectable, not just in the UK but overseas. There are national campaigns to save Britain's heritage in oil paintings, sculpture, ceramics and other media, meanwhile it is estimated that approximately 50% of comic artwork sold in the UK goes to overseas buyers perhaps never to return. This project attempts to preserve some of the most iconic characters from Britain's comic heritage for present and future generations. The museum will be asking the public's support to help raise £14,000 in match funding.
Though the Cartoon Museum is based in London it is working with partners across the UK including the Scottish Centre for Comic Studies in Dundee, D C Thomson & Co Ltd., Staffordshire University, the British Cartoon Archive – University of Kent, as well as the British Library and Victoria and Albert Museum. Every year there will be a number of comic-related exhibitions and displays and some of these will tour around the country. This has included the AHRC funded 2016 exhibition The British Graphic Novel.
The project will also provide funding for extra staff time to manage the project and help develop more family displays and activities. Another key aspect of the project will be local initiatives with local schools and charities such as Coram and Covent Garden Dragon Hall Trust who work with families, young people and intergenerational groups.
Fortunately, the Cartoon Museum has been awarded £164,300 for its Comic Creators project by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF). The project is part of HLF's £5m funding package to a range of museums, libraries and archives across the UK. Under HLF's Collecting Cultures programme, 23 organisations, from Glasgow down to Brighton, will be able to enhance the scope of their collections and the Cartoon Museum is one of them.
"This is excellent news for both the Cartoon Museum and the comics in general. Now that the medium is finally on its way to achieving widespread acceptance as a legitimate art form, this timely grant will help the museum play a much greater educational, artistic and cultural role as its ambassador, a role that is singularly lacking in the U.K., especially since the end of the British Library's outstanding exhibition."
Bryan Talbot, Comic Book Artist & Costa Award Winner
'The Comic Creators project is a hugely exciting opportunity for the Cartoon Museum to work with comic artists, collectors, partners and most importantly comic lovers everywhere, to build a wonderful collection of original British comic artwork which will really put the museum on the map.'

Sinister flashes occasionally popped up in Nymphomaniac: Volume I, the origin story of a sex addict named Joe (Charlotte Gainsbourg), who spent the duration playing mental tag with Seligman, a newfound confidant (Stellan Skarsgård). Still, the first chapter of Lars von Trier's epic mostly kept things tender, leaning on poignant anecdotes about nature and memory that made Joe's hazy remembrance a melancholy experience. Unfortunately, this foundation of calm proves itself to be a lie.
Not surprisingly, Volume II—which opens Friday, April 4, at Hillcrest Cinemas—devours any such romanticism almost immediately. Picking up where its predecessor left off, the brutal second chapter begins with not-so-happy couple Joe and Jerôme (Shia LeBeouf ) attempting (and failing) to live a normal existence. She's given up sleeping with countless men, and he's suffering mightily to satisfy her carnal urges. Their situation gets so warped that Joe loses the ability to feel any sort of sexual experience.
Repression is the root of evil in Volume II, starting with Joe's haggard attempts to live a patriarchal life outside of her nymphomania.
Soon, the pain becomes so great that she begins flirting with risky ways to jumpstart her libido. One sequence titled "The Dangerous Men," involving Joe and two African immigrants, proposes a potential reckoning, but in hilarious von Trier fashion, the entire sequence turns into an absurd red herring infused with gender critique.
Things get more serious when Joe opts for visits to K (Jaime Bell), a specialist in sadomasochism.
In one of the film's most uncomfortable scenes, the two embark on a "therapy" session that explores the complicated nature of control when it comes to sex. Like most of Nymphomaniac, these scenes are constructed to embrace the more banal movements and expressions. But Volume II offers far less in the way of comfort for the viewer, exploring how Joe's cyclical patterns of self-destruction eventually transcend any chance of a happy ending.
Eventually, Joe abandons all sense of normalcy, leaving her husband and young child behind. "Society had no room for me, and I had no room for society," she confesses to Seligman. The smash cut that connects this fateful transition is framed by a rousing Talking Heads track. It's one of the few times von Trier seems to be having fun.
In Volume II's latter half, Joe ends up working for a suspicious debt collector named L (Willem Dafoe). Here, violence replaces sex as Joe's key opiate. Interestingly, this venture allows her to spawn a separate extortion business that becomes successful in its own right, leading Joe to befriend another young castoff named P (Mia Goth). This one fateful decision eventually leads Joe, beaten and bruised, into the arms of Seligman. Now we've come full circle. Or have we?
The key to understanding the tonal differences between Volume I and Volume II is how sexuality relates to both chapters. In the first, Joe's experimentation reflects a naïve (if not guilt-ridden) view of the world, but one not without hope. As played by Stacy Martin, the character glows with a certain reverie for epiphany, even when it's crushed by reality. Gainsbourg's incarnation is far more devastating, exuding a specific numbness to whatever terrible proceedings are taking place. The older version of Joe is content to suffer, while the younger one endlessly hopes for a cure.
This jarring juxtaposition can be summed up in one of Joe's most forceful comments: "I love my filthy, dirty lust."
Or does she love the idea of being unafraid to express it to the world at large? Volume II's harrowing final scene makes this question even more complicated, dismantling all the good will and humanity of the previous four hours in one daring act of self-preservation. What's next is just more of the same.

"We would like to thank you for the great service and advice you provided while representing us in the sale of our home in Stone Canyon during this very difficult time in which to sell luxury properties. We are especially appreciative of the professionalism, dedication and perseverance you exhibited during the process which ultimately led to the securing of a qualified buyer for our home. We also appreciated the manner in which you calmly and knowledgably managed the entire transaction and ultimately the successful and timely closing. We have dealt with many real estate agents over the years and in our experience, no other agent has ever shown the level of expertise or commitment that you exhibited in helping us achieve our objectives. Based upon the exceptionally positive experience we had working with you, we would not hesitate in highly recommending you to anyone looking for an honest, hard-working agent with integrity, intelligence and the willingness to go the extra mile for his clients."
M. & B. K., Minneapolis
"I want to personally thank you for all your help and commitment – above and beyond the call of duty – in our search and ultimate purchase of our Tucson home. We are all so excited to have a "home away from home" to enjoy! We could not have done it without you! I so enjoyed our time with you when we were house hunting in April. I look forward to seeing you and meeting your wife next time we are in Tucson. "
D. & A. A, Oro Valley
"We wish to inform you how pleased we have been to work with Michael Douglass. He has conducted himself in a highly professional and ethical manner throughout our dealings with him. We have come to trust him implicitly and it has been a pleasure for us to work with such a knowledgeable and professional Real Estate Agent. We had a few setbacks during our transaction but he had the expertise to promptly and calmly go about ticking them off one by one until they were removed and we successfully closed. Michael's professionalism, knowledge, dedication and honesty certainly reflect credit upon your company"
J.L. & S.K, Palo Alto
"We just want to share with you our very positive experience with one of your agents, Michael Douglass, who patiently and successfully guided us through the search for and subsequent purchase of what we consider to be our dream home. We first met Michael in November at an open house. We returned to California the next day but continued to correspond via email and phone over the next several months as Michael diligently scouted the market and kept us up to date on a variety of homes that he felt might be of interest to us. Throughout the process he provided us with all the information that we needed to make our decision, and he did so without being intrusive. He perfectly understood and straddled the fine line between friend and agent, giving us honest appraisals and opinions while retaining a level of professionalism that is rare in any industry. We have now developed a friendship with Michael and can see that our first impressions – of someone who values honesty, integrity, and knowledge – were spot on. We recognized the sincerity of his values and intentions, knowing full well that his goals were directed first and foremost towards our happiness and satisfaction. Michael's knowledge, experience, wit, and easy-going demeanor transformed what could have been a stressful process into one in which we quite enjoyed engaging. We would have been utterly lost without him and are so thankful for having found him. As if everything he did for us during the search and purchase of the home were not enough, he has continued to provide us with support way over and above the call of duty since the sale closed. We would be happy to sing Michael's praises to any prospective clients."

Police in Kentucky released footage of a February car crash that threw a seven-month-old baby out as the car rolled on the side of the highway.
Fox 4 reports the baby is OK now, but was in critical condition following the crash.
"The baby came out and landed on the rocks, so the gentleman picked it up, and he couldn't believe number one he said: that the baby was alive and that he was physically and mentally distraught after seeing that occur right in front of him," said Lt. Rich Whitford of the Fort Thomas Police Department.
The crash killed the driver of the car, who was high on heroin at the time.
Police are still on the hunt for the baby's parents, 34-year-old Amanda Thomas and 42-year-old Billy Lee Jones, who were also in the car at the time of the crash.
Investigators received blood test results that showed both Thomas and Jones were also on heroin.
"We've been trying to call and going there trying to find them. There's a warrant. There's a $50,000 bond, so if they do see this, call. Call the Fort Thomas Police, or turn yourself in at this time," Whitford said via Fox 4.
The baby's parents have both been charged with criminal abuse.

An Israeli business website/publication Globes.co.il is reporting today that Google will acquire social mapping app Waze for $1.3 billion. The pub says it's all but a done deal:
Sources inform "Globes" that Google Inc. will acquire Waze Ltd. for $1.3 billion. The acquisition of the Israeli navigation app and traffic report start-up will be completed after months of reports that Waze would be sold to either Google or Facebook Inc.
Ra'anana-based Waze has almost 50 million users. This is a big number for an Israeli company, which probably helped it achieve the hoped-for exit.
Facebook was apparently very close to buying Waze for roughly $1 billion. However negotiations broke down when Facebook allegedly refused to allow the company to remain in Israel. Google has an Israeli office and is reportedly willing to keep employees there.
Waze also has offices in California as well.
Waze would have been a huge acquisition for Facebook, which could have deployed it as a social mapping and navigation tool, adding a key asset to its mobile offerings. Google doesn't need Waze at all. So what does the company get for its $1.3 billion?
It keeps Waze out of the hands of Facebook and Apple. It also gets a global community of users who can potentially help Google improve the accuracy of maps and directions through social feedback.
Waze was just starting to "monetize." Now the pressure's off: Google can simply pump local-mobile ads into Waze. But that begs the question: Will Google maintain Waze as a separate app or simply integrate Waze's capabilities over time into Google Maps?
If Google gets rid of Waze the app/brand it's very likely that its devoted community will dissipate and the primary value of Waze for Google will diminish over time. (On a related note, even though it has sought to maintain and leverage the Zagat brand, Google appears to be struggling to capture local reviews.)
Because Google has already invested so much in maps and built the leading platform globally, the benefits of buying Waze are relatively modest. My sense is that the primary motivation and driver of the acquisition is defensive: to keep Waze out of the hands of a rival that could use it to challenge Google Maps.

If veteran country singer Buck Owens had any doubts about how he`s regarded by the new generation of country music fans, they should have been put to rest for good Friday night. Brought on stage by neotraditional country star Dwight Yoakam halfway through Yoakam`s show at the Chicago Theatre, Owens was greeted with a standing ovation from the crowd-who clearly agreed with Yoakam`s introductory description of him as a ``living legend in country music.``
Owens (who returned the compliment by predicting that his ``little friend`` Yoakam was ``going to be the next superstar``) is best known these days as the host of TV`s ``Hee-Haw.`` But it`s not his talent for cheerfully cornpone comedy that qualifies him for country ``living legend`` honors; it`s his musical credentials. As one of the premiere country artists of the early- to-mid-1960s, the singer and songwriter racked up two dozen or so No. 1 country hits, sold millions of albums and influenced latter-day artists such as Yoakam with his spirited approach. Not long ago, Yoakam lured Owens out of retirement to duet with him on the bitterly rebellious ``Streets of Bakersfield,`` currently a country hit, and invited the veteran artist to join him on tour.

Don't think that all the excitement, tears and magical memories happen on the wedding day itself as there are plenty of moments in the run up you'll want to celebrate. From booking that impossible to get venue, finalising guest lists and deciding what your color scheme is, to going dress shopping with your bridesmaids and booking hair and makeup there are countless little wedding planning triumphs that'll leave you speechless!

Sending Out Invitations
Despite all your planning it probably won't seem real until you finalise the guest list and start sending out your wedding invitations. Handwritten messages look much nicer and give them that extra personal touch even if it's just the names you write yourself. If you've hired a professional designer, they may have a calligrapher on staff that'll make your
personalised wedding invitations look even more unique. Take time to proofread every invite, menu card and information sheet to make sure you don't send out any with spelling mistakes or grammar errors. If you've DIY'd them check everything is stuck or glued firmly in place. Post them together somewhere quiet, like a local post box so you can take as long as you need.

Menu Tasting
Knowing what you're going to be eating on your wedding day is really important in case of any food allergies or particular flavour combinations you don't like. Lots of venues offer tasting sessions, where you narrow down your choices to two starters, mains and desserts plus different wines and decide yourselves which tastes the best. It's also a fantastic time for you and your fiancé to have a chat about non-wedding stuff, plus giving yourselves permission to relax and enjoy the afternoon together while weighing up the pros and cons of chocolate orange mousse cake, raspberry panna cotta, and creme brûlée.

Final Dress Fitting
This is it! The moment where you'll truly feel like a bride while wearing the most beautiful dress you've ever owned in your life. Remember to take a handkerchief; there will be happy tears shed, your wedding shoes, bridal underwear, jewellery and veil to your final dress fitting as well as a colour swatch of your bridesmaid's dresses. Having had a makeup / hair trial you should have a good idea of how you'll look, so now's the time for any last minute tweaks before your wedding dress is steam cleaned and hung up to 'breathe' before the big day.

Your Last Night
We can't tell you how you'll feel right before your wedding although we bet it'll be a combination of excitement, nerves, and unending happiness. Try to have a quiet one, depending on what time your ceremony starts you may be having a very early wake-up call indeed! Many brides spend their final night as a 'miss' with their families, either having travelled home for the wedding or their loved ones joining them a couple of days beforehand. Allow yourself one, or two glasses of champagne and have a light dinner before going to bed early. You may not sleep much, but it's better to try and get some rest than worrying about last minute details that'll end up taking care of themselves.

Charlie White, CF
RS SO Naperville, IL
The Report: White is a dynamic centerfielder and has the ability to take over a game purely with his legs. Featuring plus speed, White finished top-5 in the nation with 39 stolen bases. He routinely disrupts a pitcher's rhythm when he reaches base, which he did in nearly 45% of his plate appearances.
The Good: White's speed will make heads turn. He is as good a bunter as you will ever see and uses his speed to track down balls in centerfield that seem impossible to get to. He's an excellent slap hitter and sprays the ball to all fields for a high average (.350). On top of all that, Charlie is tough to strike out (17 Ks in 214 ABs) and possesses an above average arm.

The Bad: Many scouts will not roll the dice on White's style of play. Without any power potential, teams must bank on the fact that he can hit for a high average all the way up to the Major Leagues. Additionally, this was Charlie's first season as an everyday starter.
The Bottom Line: With the excitement he brings to the leadoff spot and the numbers he put up in an elite conference, it stands to reason that White will get picked. The question is, will he sign?
The Prediction: All the high-ceiling high school guys will go before him, but I bet someone pulls the trigger on White in the second half of the draft. For the right price, they might get themselves a steal, as Charlie will likely dominate the lower levels of pro ball.
Chances to Get Picked: 80%
Alex Ramsay, C
RS SO Severna Park, MD
The Report: In VERY limited action, Ramsay has looked great swinging the bat and seems to have athleticism on top of a very smooth stroke.
The Bottom Line: Ramsay has been in the program for three years but has never gotten a chance at regular playing time. With Jack Cleary graduating, Ramsay should finally get some significant ABs in 2014. Despite being a bench player for three seasons, I think there's some potential within the Severna Park native.
What To Expect Later this Week (MLB Draft - June 6-8)
The over/under for Terps being picked this year is 3.5. Jake Stinnett and Jimmy Reed are locks, but after that there is much uncertainty, as there always is with baseball drafts. Charlie White is likely to be picked too, but after that, it is a complete crapshoot. Based on production, Jordan Hagel and Kyle Convissar both have a good chance to go in the late rounds. Other dark horses include Blake Schmit, Tim Kiene and Michael Montville, all guys who have immense upside but have not put together more than a full season of at bats with the Terps.
If they get 4 guys picked this year, they should be thrilled.
But look out Terps fans, that number could rise close to double digits in the years to come.

Golf analyst Brandel Chamblee apologized on Tuesday for implying that Tiger Woods was a cheater on the golf course. After Tiger Woods's agent Mark Steinberg threatened Chamblee with legal action over the weekend, Chamblee initally did not back down from his comments on Tuesday.
Later on in the evening, Chamblee sent out a series of tweets saying he wanted to "apologize to Tiger" for the "incited discourse." Chamblee emphasized that he was "not asked to apologize" by anybody.
Woods had four major rules controversies last season, most notably the two-shot penalty he received for his illegal drop on the second day of the Masters, which may have marred his reputation on the course a bit and cost him a chance to win another Green Jacket. The drop controversy started on the the par-5 15th hole at Augusta after Woods approach shot to the hole hit the flagstick and then rolled into the water.
Golf is a gentleman's game and I'm not proud of this debate. I want to apologize to Tiger for this incited discourse.
— brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) October 23, 2013
What brought me here was the realization that my comments inflamed an audience on two sides of an issue.
— brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) October 23, 2013
And no – I was not asked to apologize
— brandel chamblee (@chambleebrandel) October 23, 2013
My intention was to note Tiger's rules infractions this year, but comparing that to cheating in grade school went too far.

QUEENS, N.Y. — The players for Navy are physical and tough.
It's the nature of a service academy player, but even Coach Stefanie Pemper said it's going to be a true test of stamina and strength for the Midshipmen to face Kentucky in the first round of the NCAA Tournament on Sunday.
"There will be harder physical challenges in their lives than the game Sunday, but not many, but there will be some," Pemper said on Saturday at Carnesecca Arena on St. John's campus. "They just have to dig down and rise to the challenge."
Kentucky's goal is to do what it always does: Use 10 or more players in waves to wear down Navy and force the Mids into turnovers.
Tempo will be key, UK Coach Matthew Mitchell said.
"We want to score a bunch of points and make the game as fast as possible," he said.
"We need this to be a very fast-paced game. We need to play this game at a really high pace and speed Navy up, because if you let them really execute their offense, they're quite impressive."
Navy has three players averaging more than 30 minutes a game (Kentucky has just one, A'dia Mathies, with her 30.2 minutes a game) and the Mids have two other players who average 26 minutes or more a game.
When asked what Navy could do to combat UK's formidable reserves, Pemper smiled.
"We're going to have to get a really good breakfast tomorrow," she said. "We're going to have to hydrate. We're going to have to get our rest tonight and just really dig down."
As one might expect, Navy is a disciplined team that is happy playing a half-court game. The Midshipmen average just 14.5 miscues a game, but admitted they haven't faced any kind of pressure like Kentucky's pressure before.
In women's NCAA Tournament history, a No. 2 seed has never been upset by a No. 15 seed, but those kinds of stats don't mean it can't be done.
Just ask Pemper, who was an assistant coach on the Harvard staff when the Crimson upset top-seeded Stanford as No. 16 seed, the first time it's been done in men's or women's basketball history.
When asked what an upset like that would mean for Navy, Pemper again smiled.
"You pull off an upset, it has a life of its own," she said. "That's the simplest way to put it. To have that would be monumentous."
It might be life altering, junior guard Kara Pollinger said.
"To upset such a great team, I'd be speechless," she said. "And I'd probably watch the game every night for the rest of my life."
Clock running on Mathies
Southeastern Conference Player of the Year A'dia Mathies always seems to be at her best when the clock is winding down in a game. But what about now, when the clock is winding down on her four-year career at Kentucky?
"I think about it sometimes," she admitted on Saturday. "This will be the last time I'm playing at Kentucky, but it's still a long season. If you go all the way, you're playing for three something more weeks."
The extra games will help Mathies achieve one of her final goals at UK (aside from making it to her first Final Four), which is scoring 2,000 career points. If UK advances to the Final Four, Mathies would need to average a manageable 11 points a game to reach 2,000.
In 10 career NCAA Tournament games, the guard has averaged 12.8 points, 3.7 rebounds, three assists and 2.1 steals.
Sidney's time?
With the indefinite suspension of junior forward Samantha Drake, look for junior college transfer Jelleah Sidney to take on a bigger role.
After struggling most of the season with some soreness in her knee, the 6-foot-2 forward has been practicing well as of late and could be a factor in the NCAA Tournament. She has been seeing time as a part of that next five or "gray team" rotation.
"It's terrific timing for her," Mitchell said of Sidney, who is a Queen's Village, N.Y., native. "She's back in her hometown and it looks like she'll definitely get an opportunity to step in there and play with that gray team off the bench. We're real excited for her."

Look at web developer discussion forums or blogs and you might think that tables are about to be prohibited from the internet. There are such strong arguments against their use. Yet, is use of the newish and trendy CSS coding as an alternative to tables all that it is cracked up to be? Or, has it simply gone too far without considering the benefits along the way?
Warning: this topic is for nurds or people who can easily get anal over website mark-up!
Open Source software solutions are over-looked by many people when considering software for their needs. There is a tendency to stick with well-known names or labels. However, scratch the surface of Open Source alternatives and you will find that there is little difference in looks, functionality, feel, quality and robustness when compared against market leaders.
If Open Source solutions are duly considered in equal proportion to the market leaders, not only will you make a more informed decision, you might boost your profits.

The new version is released. If you've downloaded the first release, just download the new one from CodePlex and replace the .js file in the /_catalogs/masterpage gallery in your site collection. The project is still under Beta, so if you find some bugs please let me know.
The new version now supports localizations. The current version is published with English (LCID 1033) and Slovene (LCID 1060) translations. If the script can't find localization for your language, it will use english by default.
To add your own localization, add under "//Localization arrays" the translated following line:
var erte1033 = new Array("Please inputtt details","Alt Text","This will be displayed in RSS feeds","Embed Code","Paste your Embed code here","Insert","Close"); //english
and change the LCID and language at the end. If you don't know the LCID of your SharePoint site, open it in Internet Explorer, in the address bar type javascript:alert(L_Menu_LCID) and press enter. The alert window will tell you the LCID. The final translated version (example for Slovene language) will look like this:
var erte1060 = new Array("Vnesite parametre","Besedilo","Besedilo bo izpisano v RSS-viru","Embed koda","Prilepite Embed kodo v polje","Vstavi","Zapri"); //slovene
If you've localized the texts, I'd be happy to add them to the new release, so we could have as full version as possible. Please publish the translation under comments on my CodePlex HomePage.

At the outset of care, we work with each patient and family to
complete a comprehensive evaluation and develop realistic rehab goals.
Patients are under daily supervision by a physician specially trained in
rehabilitative medicine as well as around-the-clock rehab nursing care.
Additionally, we work with patients and families to plan for discharge.
therapy focuses on restoring function, managing pain as well as
increasing coordination, stability, strength and endurance through the
use of therapeutic exercises and rehab procedures. Our goal with
physical therapy is to prevent, correct or alleviate a disability and
improve function.
Physical therapy treatments may include:
goal of occupational therapy is to help patients regain daily function
and self-care skills in order to participate in everyday activities in
roles and situations in the home, school, workplace, community and other
settings. Whenever possible, the ultimate goal is to return the patient
to the level of function they had before the onset of symptoms.
Occupational therapy treatments may include:
and language therapy is used to evaluate and treat speech-language,
communication, cognitive and swallowing disorders. In some cases
following a stroke, traumatic brain injury or neurological disorder,
these skills may be impacted and specific therapy to regain these skills
is necessary. The goal is to maximize abilities in eating, drinking,
communication and cognition.
This therapy may include
swallowing evaluation done at the bedside or in the X-ray department.
Treatment may include diet modification, oral motor exercise and
training in compensatory strategies. Restorative dining is available for
therapeutic assistance during meals. We also offer specialized
assessment including a Modified Barium Swallow Study, communication and
cognition evaluation, and treatment of speech, language and cognitive
function. Therapy may include oral motor exercise, activities designed
to improve intelligibility, comprehension, verbal expression, reading,
writing, memory, attention, planning and organization. This includes
therapy sessions in individual and group settings as well as community
re-entry training matched to the individual patient's needs.
are pleased to offer a rich Therapeutic Recreation program which
utilizes leisure services to treat, educate and improve quality of life
for people recovering from the physical, mental and social limitations.
The goal of therapeutic recreation is to facilitate the development,
maintenance, and demonstration of an appropriate leisure lifestyle, to
encourage socialization, and to provide an avenue for interdisciplinary
goal attainment. In other words, while we understand that rehabilitation
is hard work, it is important to have some fun.
Therapeutic recreation services may include:
Peer counseling to help with the overall healing process of our
patients who are recovering from stroke or loss of limb. In this program
former stroke and loss of limb patient return as volunteers to meet
with patients and families and interact with them to provide support and
information that will help ease their minds as they face a journey
filled with questions.
Community reintegration through a
multi-discipline program that takes a patient outside the walls of the
hospital and allows them the opportunity to express what they have
learned in treatment to a real world setting.
Socialization in the form of group
activities, support groups, community outings and more offer patients
the opportunity to reengage in past leisure activities as well as
develop new leisure skills and meet new people. Studies show that people
who engage in meaningful activities live longer, are happier and are
generally healthier than those who are more isolated.
One-on-one therapeutic treatment.
many, the road to recovery goes beyond the physical rehabilitation. We
offer supportive services to aid in the recovery process, including:
