Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
Hey Y'all, hope Round 1 of registration went in your favor!
I've been thinking for the past month or so about the concept of "Home Events" like some districts currently employ. $@#Specifically, I'm interested in the potential implications of a "home event" policy for regional teams. $@#I meant to post this concept a few weeks ago but didn't get around to it.
Currently, Regional teams have zero restrictions for where they register for events. $@#While this might make sense on the surface, this makes planning event capacity complicated for certain regions.
Here is the rub. $@#Teams from "low demand regions" can safely register for "high demand region" events round 1, and know their region will have slots during round 2, or even open registration. $@#What's more, if teams are "in" with their local RD's, they can theoritically get preference off the waitlist, if need be, during open registration.
This doesn't work the other way around, since many local teams lack the resources to travel to these "low demand regions".
The lack of a "home event system" for regionals is exploited, and this puts increased capacity-stress on "high demand regions". $@#"High deman regions" need to plan additional capacity for out-of-region teams that register for their regional slots first-round.
So what is my proposal? Regional teams are required to register for their "home event" round 1, unless given a special exemption (religious/scheduling reasons, etc). $@#Round 2 is then open season, so to speak, and any regional team can register for any regional event. $@#This more or less guarantees that regional teams have priority for their local events, and no one is allowed to game the system to guarantee two (or more) events.
I'm sure this idea won't be popular for everyone, but I'd love to hear people's thoughts.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
Actually on the topic of home regionals. We were planning on registering for other events first, thinking we are guaranteed a spot at the event held on our campus. Our regional director told us that if we got locked out there might not be much they can do. They obviously have 10 spots reserved, but priority goes to rookies and possibly international teams. So we switched the planning to our own event first as it was presumed to be a high priority event.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I was actually just thinking of something quite similar after moping about the first round results.
I feel that perhaps teams should automatically be assigned to the closest event to their zip code, at some early time like registration (or perhaps a few days before actual event registration). Later, they get to register for a different event based on first come, first serve (like the old ways). Teams that don't make it in time will be put on a waitlist, as is the standard. Afterwards, teams can choose to tap out of their local event, which opens up those waitlist spots. It requires a bit of trading between higher and lower density regions, but I believe it would put convenience for the teams first.
I'm speaking as someone who is pretty salty about certain circumstances regarding home Regionals, and I understand that FIRST wants to make things fair for all teams. However, I think the most fair process would include explicitly accounting for local teams to get into their own event, rather than some promise of "extra spaces" that may or may not exist.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I agree. I consistently see teams from out of California register for a California regional first because they know their local will not run out of space.
I am more in favor of a 50 mile radius rule, or 3 closest regional rule. I like the idea of variety and choice, but it can be a little ridiculous when a far away team takes up a spot from a local team.
That being said, I registered our team for a regional more than 50 miles away.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
We're far more than 50 miles from any CA event, but the CA events are by far the closest events to us.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I would be okay with something like this but I think it should really be more like
Anywhere with in 300-350 miles (that lets Dallas Teams register for Houston events, Tallahassee to Orlando, in etc) or the closets 4 events which ever has more events for you. That basically just stops teams from flying cross country for their 1st events.
and non continental US teams can register anywhere they like.
This wouldn't effect the vast majority of teams if it was implemented this way.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
If we can designate what our home regional is, then sure why not.
If its assigned as in our case with us being in Hawaii for the Hawaii event, then I wouldnt care for such a policy.
Hawaii being towards the later part of the competition season poses all kinds of financial constraints for us and many other Hawaii teams.
We sign up for Hawaii last because it is truly the last priority event for our program these days. The regional provided support for us last year to ship our robot back home via Fedex. That was incentive enough for us to do the event and FIRST covered all shipments to the Championship event and back.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I'd be fine with it, as long as it's optional. My (former, I guess) team is about equidistant from several different regionals, all falling relatively close on the schedule. Avoiding back to back regionals would be much harder if we were forced into a cetain regional.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I wonder if there's a long term solution that could lead to teams having smaller events close to home that don't fill up with outsiders. Then maybe you could earn points to compete at a larger event with other high quality teams. Over time the system would generate more spots total for teams to compete and would mean teams have multiple events close to home to choose from. You could probably grow from 3 events in a region to 26 events (11 of which are within 50 miles of our shop) in a 10 year period. What would you call such a system? Municipality events? Sectorals? Precincts?
Sorry to rub it in - as much as I miss seeing out of state teams at events, locking them out has been great for our growth.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I would like very much for NY to go districts, as I know others do as well. That said, however, we would miss some of the international flair at our events.... But this has all been discussed before.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
they're talking about us, I think.....
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I'm just going to mention that the Mountain West is ripe for the kind of scenario that Mike suggested. We are definitely a "low-demand" region. But the scenario Mike suggested isn't very prevalent (as far as I can tell) and when it does happen it's not quite how he described.
I'm going to focus on the Utah Regional because I think it's the most "high demand" MW event this year because it's week 1. This year 4 Colorado teams registered for Utah first (knowing the teams they all intend to also register for Colorado), and one of those teams is roughly the same distance from both events.
I'll admit this was enticing option, Utah is our only feasible second event this year, and with a lowish registration capacity, and the draw of the only Western Week 1 I'm still worried we might not get in. Especially knowing that Colorado has never reached physical capacity since moving the pits a couple years ago made it more enticing. But in the end we decided that the possibility, however small, of not getting into Colorado wasn't worth it.
So I think this problem isn't as far reaching as we might think. Looking at some of the California events that already filled up (definitely high demand) only a couple of the registered teams at each event aren't actually from California.
I guess I understand the sentiment, and I can definitely see how even one or two teams that do that could be frustrating, but I want to ask, how often does this actually happen?
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
There are also several LA/San Diego area teams registered for regionals like AZ North, Vegas, and Utah. Is this because they couldn't get in to their 'home' events or because their 'home' events are lower on their preference list? I don't know, but I think it is pretty interesting to note.
Re: Home Event Policy for Regional Teams
I was certainly surprised when I saw seven teams from outside LA/MS/southern AL/FL panhandle signed up for Bayou in round 1, as we have never filled up in round 1, or even round 2 as far as I am aware.
"Within 50 miles or 3 closest regionals" might work for teams in the lower 48, but teams with no regionals within several hundred miles (e.g. western Europe, South America, western Australia, and notionally Africa, Antarctica and lots of remote islands including many in the southern hemisphere) should be free to choose a first event wherever they like.
On the flip side, if a team is only eligible to register for one event in the first round, they should not have to actually do so. Such teams should be able to hold down a spot at their "home" regional until the payment deadline with no action.

On The Road Again
Here is an update on our housing situation. Crews came with heaters and blowers and moved furniture and measured the moisture in the walls to see which ones have to be removed. They also marked the new floor the owners had put in a few months ago and plan to remove most of it. We are in a hotel down the street while all that toxic moldy air blows itself around. Thankfully our property management company and the owner have been helpful and willing to help us find a place to stay in the meanwhile. The owner's homeowner's insurance has not agreed to pay for the damage because the leak has not been found and we had not purchased renter's insurance yet. So, we are praying for God's guidance to where he wants us to be for the next two to four weeks.

The Ultimate Fish Burger
Monday again already - I can't believe it - where on earth did the weekend go? And not just Monday - it's almost Easter!!! Before you know it we'll be getting stuck into big slow-cooked stews and hearty soups, but before that happens, and while there is still
enough warmth to eat dinner outside, I'm going to make the most of a few fab recipes like this one for the Ultimate Fish Burger. I realise that is a bold statement, but seriously, for me this is the perfect fish burger - loads of vibrant, herby, fresh yet creamy tartare-style mayo topped with crunchy but still moist inside fish, loaded with crispy bright slaw - yum!!!!! There are so many wonderful flavours and textures here - it really is delicious. When I was a lot younger, a favourite hangover meal (yeah I know), was a McDonalds fish burger - admittedly I was young and stupid, but in my defence, I have progressed since then. This has the same crazy feel-good factor, but in a much more home-made fresh style - the tartare mayo belts out flavour with lemon, capers, gherkins and parsley with a hint of mustard. The fish (I used terakihi), has a great crunch from the panko/flour crumb and the slaw really comes alive with the addition of radish and celery - seriously good.
Crikey - I feel like I was bit slow getting this up on the blog today, having arrived back from a weekend in Wellington yesterday. It was a super quick trip to visit Rich and go to an amazing jazz concert with my Dad and his lovely partner Keiko. The first night Hoob was full of beans and we had a good ole catch up over a few drinks and nibbles at the Library Bar. The next day (as you do) I took him for a big brunch 'feed' and then we all met up with Dad and friends in the evening to listen to jazz. Poor old Rich was feeling crappy by then and sat stifling coughs and stretching achey legs throughout the concert - so next morning I was up early and off to the supermarket stocking up on lemons, Manuka honey, vitamins etc etc which I schlepped up the (inevitable) hill to his hall of residence. Anyhoo, by lunchtime I was at the airport, then spent the afternoon collecting dogs, going to the supermarket and doing washing until I collapsed in a heap last night. But here I am! It's Monday! Stuff to do! Better get to it, and in the meantime, let me know if you give these fish burgers a whirl, I know you're going to love them :)
Fish :
2/3 cup plain flour
2 cups panko crumbs
850g firm white fish, cut into roughly 12cm x 4cm pieces
2 eggs, whisked
¼ cup high heat cooking oil (such as rice bran oil).
Mix flour and panko crumbs in a shallow dish. Dip fish pieces into egg, then coat well in crumb mixture. Lay in a single layer on a plate and cover with plastic wrap. Refrigerate until ready to use, up to 2 hours in advance.
Tartare-style Mayo:
1 ½ cups good quality egg mayonnaise
finely grated zest of 1 lemon
1/8 tsp cayenne pepper
3 large gherkins, finely chopped
2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
2 tablespoons chopped capers
1 teaspoon mild American mustard
Mix all ingredients together and keep in a sealed container in the fridge. Can be prepared the day before.
1 teaspoon extra virgin olive oil
2 teaspoons cider vinegar
1 tablespoon good quality egg mayonnaise
1 tsp sugar
sea salt and black pepper to taste
¼ large cabbage (or ½ an iceberg lettuce), finely sliced
½ red onion, finely sliced
1 stick celery, finely sliced
2 radishes, finely sliced
Whisk oil, vinegar, mayonnaise, sugar, salt and pepper in a large bowl. Add shredded vegetables and toss to combine.
To serve: 6 brioche or soft buns, halved
Heat oven to grill and lay buns cut side up on a baking tray. Heat half of the oil in a large frying pan and cook fish in batches (add remaining oil for second batch) over a medium high heat for 2-3 minutes each side until golden and cooked through. Drain on paper towels while grilling the buns. Either invite guests to construct their own, or plate up the burgers. Spoon 2 tablespoons of mayo onto each burger base, top with fish and slaw. Top with a little more mayo on the cut side of the burger 'lid' to serve. Serves 6

Today, thousands are looking at mobile casino UK websites in order to make money online. You cannot blame people as to why you're going online to make money as it seems it's so simple to do it. There are a hundred different ways to make money and with online gambling, it's certainly a possibility. However, when you are gambling online, is it really possible to win real money and if so how? Read on to find out more.
Mobile Casino – A New Way to Win Big
It's hard to earn money today, even when you're working at a good job and earning decent money. The cost of living is rising and for some, they just aren't earning enough to stay afloat. For thousands, they look at gambling to make more money and while a lot of people lose big, there are many who win big too. It isn't impossible to win money playing mobile slots or even by betting on horse races; it's hard but not impossible. However, gambling online is really quite unique in a sense because there are no limitations and it doesn't discriminate either.
Should You Gamble Online?
First and foremost, if you want to gamble online and win real money then you have to do your homework. You need to know which websites are honest, legit and which will provide you with the best chances of winning. Also, you must know that while you can go from one gambling adventure to the next, it's best to have a niche. For instance, if you are a big sports fan and you love football then it may be best to stick with that niche for the time being. This will allow you to understand how the gambling system works and if you feel comfortable with it or otherwise. Yes, you can earn big with a mobile casino UK but you should only ever use it when you feel totally ready for it. If you want to choose mobile casinos, always look at the options available and what they can offer you also.
Can Gambling Online Be Safe?
However, you do have to be careful gambling over the internet. There are many who believe it's unsafe and it can be if you don't take steps to protect yourself. Remember, there is a big market for scammers and if you don't do your homework and find legitimate gambling sites you can lose everything. However, putting that to one side; if you are careful with what you spend and which sites you use, it can be safe. Again, you must look at limiting your spending so that you don't lose big whether you love mobile slots or something completely different.
Gamble Responsibly
Gamble online for real money? You wouldn't think it'd be possible and yet it's easy to do so. Thousands, if not millions, are now online gambling and for some, they are winning too. However, it isn't all roses as there are lots of traps and pitfalls with gambling online. If you protect yourself you should hopefully avoid these concerns. Enjoy a mobile casino and win big.

Chas, SC- Lucille S. Whipper, iconic stateswoman, educator and Charleston civic pillar, has been named the 2013 recipient of the Marjorie Amos-Frazier Pacesetter Award for lasting civic and humanitarian contributions. Montez C. Martin, Jr., award selection chairman, made the announcement today after his 9 member committee chose Whipper in a meeting at the College of Charleston's Avery Research Center, a nationally recognized repository of African American history that Whipper helped to establish in 1985, the same year she was elected to the South Carolina House of Representatives. Whipper served in the state legislature from 1986-1996.
The award, named in honor of the late Marjorie Amos-Frazier (1926-2010), the first woman, African-American and non-legislator elected to the South Carolina Public Service Commission in 1980, will be presented to Whipper at the Blue Jamboree on October 26 at The Jenkins Institute in North Charleston. The award and the Blue Jamboree are sponsored by West Ashley Democrats.
As members of the Avery Normal School class of 1944, Whipper and her classmates sought to integrate the College of Charleston. As Assistant to the President and Director of the Office of Human Relations at the College of Charleston in 1972, Whipper became the first African-American administrator and developed the College's first affirmative action plan.
In the late sixties, Whipper and others organized Operation Catch-Up, a tutorial program for high school students that was the forerunner of the Upward Bound programs found today on college campuses nationwide. She was elected to Charleston's District 20 Constituent School Board from 1978-82.
Whipper is the recipient of numerous awards including Honorary Doctorates of Humane Letters from Morris College, (1989), the University of Charleston (1992) and the College of Charleston (2008). She is a former member of the Morris College Board of Trustees and the Benedict College Board of Trustees. In 1995, Whipper was inducted into the SC Black Hall of Fame and awarded the Order of the Palmetto in 1996.
Currently a member of Morris Street Baptist Church, Whipper has served her denomination as a faculty member of the National Congress of Christian Education, and was Past President of the Woman's Educational and Missionary Convention of South Carolina.
Other members of the award selection committee included: Hon. Mignon Clyburn; Thomasina Smith-Cook; Vertelle Kenion (Amos-Frazier's daughter); Kaye Lingle Koonce, Esq.; Dr. David Rivers; Fred R. Sheheen; Tessa Spencer; and Hon. McKinley Washington, Jr.

What do I teach my child??
How do you know what to teach your child? You need a plan, and it's called a scope-and-sequence. It can get pretty confusing when you think of math facts and grammar and novel studies and science labs. When do they need to learn addition and subtraction? What about the history of your state or province? What grade covers sentence structure and punctuation?
There is a lot of things to teach and keeping it all straight can be challenging. That's why a scope-and-sequence is so useful.
You need a scope and sequence
A scope and sequence is what we call the overall plan of what gets taught when. You can have a scope and sequence for one subject for one grade, or an overarching scope and sequence for every subject in every grade, or any combination. My personal course of study covering every grade and every subject can be downloaded for free. You can find another one at Worldbook. This isn't going to tell you how to teach anything, but what can be taught by what grade or age.
Not all scope-and-sequences are created equal.
For example, a lot of time can be spent on studying US history. A lot of American-based all-in-one boxed curriculums will spend years on just US history alone. But, no offense to you Americans, the US isn't the only country in the world, and by focusing on the US to the exclusion of all other history can lead to a myopic worldview. There is at least 6000 years of recorded history to study — I plan on teaching my children an overview of all 6000 years.
An all-in-one curriculum, such as SonLight or Abeka, will include a full scope and sequence for each grade as part of their kit. If you plan on using a full boxed curriculum, you will receive their year-plan or full K-12 year plan as part of your purchase, so you don't need to worry about developing your own.
Some styles of homeschooling don't need a scope-and-sequence plan.
Unschoolers and child-lead learners tend not to worry about scope and sequences either. Since they are more focused on natural child development, what "should" be taught by when isn't something that they are concerned about. You'll find uneven spurts of development and interest, but by the time your child is ready for a career or college, they'll have everything they need to know.
A scope and sequence is a starting point
Those of us in the middle, with our variations of eclectic homeschooling, should probably have some kind of overarching plan in place. Whether you use the World Book one referenced above, or one from the all-in-one curriculums and substitute your own materials, or if you, like me, create one for yourself, having one is a starting point for your planning each year.
You can create your own scope and sequence
To create a scope and sequence isn't that hard. I took a bunch of typical courses of study from various places, and then combined them into my own version. It takes a little bit of thought however.
First, consider the various areas of study: mathematics, language arts, fine arts, science, history, health and life skills, physical education, and if you're Christian, Bible studies. Then break each subject down by grade/age/year level, and list the topics or skills that need to be learned in that level.
Math is one of the easiest to do this with.
But there are two ways to study mathematics, and choosing your curriculum will reflect which way you've chosen. It's hard to switch between them, so choose carefully.
The two ways are a mastery-based method or a spiral method.
Mastery based means spending a long time on each skill until it's "mastered" before moving on to the next. Drills, practice and repetitive problems are common with mastery math teaching.
Spiral teaching uses a circle of introduction, practice, review, practice and more review to build skills. New skills are introduced and old skills are reviewed in a frequent switching back and forth, never spending a lot of time on any one skill but covering them all in a constantly circling system. There's no chance to get bored!
In creating a scope and sequence for math, you would look at the skills needed. Since skills build upon skills, obviously you would need to teach addition before multiplication. If you work backwards from the top (algebra? calculus?) and list the skills needed back to the beginning (counting? numeracy?), you'll get a good idea of the groups of skills you want to teach each year.
You can do the same thing for every subject area that involves skills.
Language arts is a broad subject category with sub-categories of penmanship, literature, reading, phonics, spelling, grammar, composition and vocabulary. Not all sub-categories are taught every year. You would need to teach phonics and reading before starting spelling and literature. But since it's skill-based, you can work backwards in each subcategory until you have your levels of skills.
Content subjects scope-and-sequences are easy to make.
With the content subjects, such as history and science, picking topics to cover each year makes creating a scope and sequence easy. For example, science includes such disciplines such as biology, physics, astronomy, and geology. You can take bits and pieces for each science discipline and plan your topics accordingly. In grade 1, we cover the water cycle and weather (hydrology and meteorology). In grade 2, we look at fossils, dinosaurs, land forms and the rock cycle (geology and paleontology).
It doesn't matter what order you pick your topics, or even if you cover them all — there are tons to choose from. Generally though, planning for post-secondary means that high school credits in biology, chemistry and physics will be required. So in your elementary years, you'll want to look at topics that prepare your children to be familiar with the basics in those areas. That way they can be ready to move on.
What about phys. ed or art class?
Physical education and fine arts can often be covered through extra curricular activities. We use swimming lessons, dance classes, gymnastics, choir and drama to teach these subjects. It takes some of the pressure off me to cover everything. It also gives my children some fun ways to learn other than just at home. Look around at your community for options here.
Don't forget your life skills.
Life skills don't necessarily have to be part of your scope and sequence either, but you may want to have a plan for them anyway. Teaching the basics of how to handle money, cooking and cleaning, and personal hygiene are important no matter where your child will end up as an adult. You can also include classes such as computer use and internet safety, a foreign language, parenting and child care, or first aid in this area.
Maybe you'll also want to add in topics such as drug and alcohol use (or reasons to avoid, depending on your values), self-defense, voting and how to navigate the legal, financial or government systems in your area of the world.
A scope-and-sequence is a plan
A scope and sequence is a plan that tells you what you will teach your child when. It helps to make sure that you cover all the subjects and topics you feel are important for a good education, without worrying about missing anything.All you need to create a plan is a notebook and pen. Take some time to think, working backwards from the end result to the beginning. But if you need help, using a pre-made one like this one, is a place to start.

Happy Homeschooling!

By comparing the need scores, people can determine which is their most important interpersonal need, or it may indicate the need that is least satisfied.
Characteristics of the different groups
High expressed scores and low wanted scores, these people are controllers, because they want to express but are unwilling to accept in return.
Low expressed scores and high wanted scores, these people are passive, because they want to receive but are unwilling to initiate interaction.
Total Scores
People with a high total score have strong needs to interact with other people. They are likely to be gregarious, friendly, and involved with others.
People with low scores are the opposite, They are mostly shy and reserved people.
Descriptions of the six different groups
- I make an effort to include others in my activities. I try to belong, to join social groups to be with people as much as possible.

FIRO: A Three- Dimensional Theory of Interpersonal Behavior
The FIRO-B is actively used in organizations for a variety of purposes. These include training, understanding senior management functioning, enhancing leadership effectiveness, coaching, and crucially, personnel selection and placement.
Employers can evaluate the way their employees can communicate with other coworkers and view how efficient the employee is when working together within a group.
Ahmetoglu, Chamorro-Premuzic & Furnham, 2010
Interpersonal Relationship Orientations, Leadership, and Managerial Level: Assessing the practical usefulness of the FIRO-B in organizations
Why did Schutz created the FIRO-B test?
Schutz wanted to make sure that the people in a company that have to work in groups, were compatible to work together.
The different values that are combined in various ways help to measure interpersonal compatibility and help to determine what each person expresses and wants
Individuals tend to develop a stable interpersonal style that can be characterized in the three basic needs, these help to predict the outcome of interpersonal relations.
Source: Hale, 1975, Interpersonal compatibility and workgroup performance.
Source: Rosenfeld & Jessen, 1972, Compatibility and Interaction in the Small Group: Validation of Schutz's FIRO-B Using a Modified Version of Lashbrook's PROANA5
Compatibility is the central concept of the theory.
"Schutz conceived compatibility as a property of a psychological relationship between two or more persons and between an individual and a role or between an individual and a task situation."
These are the main ideas within this theory that allowed the creator of the theory to work with. Through these studies different communication theorist began to evaluate on this theory and use it in real world situations, especially in the work force.
Source: Liddle & Slocum, 1976, The Effects of Individual-Role Compatibility upon Group Performance: An Extension of Schutz's FIRO Theory
This theory is widely used in organizations.
There were no weaknesses found after researching this theory
Beneficial because a communicator will know what they need to contribute and take away from an interpersonal relationship in order for that relationship to be successful no matter what the environment is.
Understanding will help working better as a team and understand the specific role in the group that the communicator will participate in.
Knowing what communicators gain and give to interpersonal relationships. Putting this to practice will result in better communication skills with coworkers but also with their family, roommates, friends, and children.

The Big 5
- The 16PF5 consists of a very broad scale, while FIRO-B remains much narrower.

Speaker: Dyan Sublett, President, MLK Community Health Foundation
Topic: "Be a Little Crazy: Career Risks Worth Taking"
Career paths for development professionals are often clearly laid out. We move from entry level to management jobs, from smaller programs to organizations with greater scale and complexity. But what happens when an opportunity comes along that invites us off our path? That involves risks some tell us are crazy to take? How do we best assess how to use our own unique strengths for personal and professional growth?
Reflecting on more than three decades of work in philanthropy, Dyan Sublett offers lessons learned with purpose–intentional "craziness"–as well as valuable tips on how to assess career moves worth taking. Her leadership in launching the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital in South Los Angeles will provide encouraging stories for everyone in healthcare today.
Dyan Sublett brings a background of over thirty years in philanthropic work throughout greater Los Angeles to her current position as President of the MLK Community Health Foundation, providing philanthropic support for the new Martin Luther King, Jr. Community Hospital and the community it serves. As the organization's first executive in 2012, she was responsible for developing the Foundation's board, establishing communication strategies, donor base and infrastructure, and integrating vision and strategy with hospital leadership. Successes to date include over $20 million in funds raised for capital projects and community programs.


text: Arthroscopic Capsular Plication for Multidirectional Instability Suzanne L. Miller, MD(Disclosure) Aaron Gardiner, MD(Disclosure) Alan S. Curtis, MD(Disclosure) Multidirectional shoulder instability (MDI) is a challenging entity for the clinician to treat. The presenting complaint may range from pain to episodes of subluxation or dislocation in the affected shoulder. There is often no history of major trauma or only minor trauma. Athletes involved in repetitive overhead activities are often affected, as are patients with generalized ligamentous laxity. The mainstay of treatment of MDI is conservative, with a focus on physical therapy. Patients whose symptoms are refractory to conservative measures may benefit from surgical treatment. Traditionally, MDI has been treated with an open capsular shift. More recent reports have described successful arthroscopic capsular plication techniques. This article reviews the diagnosis and treatment options for MDI, and the technique of arthroscopic capsular plication is reviewed in detail.

4 Simple Ways to Increase Site Speed and Grow Blog Traffic
Today we're going to talk about ways to increase site speed…
…and how a fast site can drastically improve blog traffic.
"But Ryan… A couple weeks ago you told us that we shouldn't lust for blog traffic?!"
I know… I'm a hypocrite… What can I say… Increasing blog traffic shouldn't be your only concern, this is especially true for small business, but growing your reader base is still crucial to the success of your online presence.
Let's talk about why site speed is so important
The first reason is Bounce Rate (Ana Hoffman). Bounce rate is essentially the length of time that visitors spend on your page and the number of pages each visitor views. The thought process is simple, if you have a high bounce rate your blog is NOT delivering enough value.
The second reason is Return Visitors (Kristi Hines). It's sexy to talk about new visitors… But every visitor can't be a new visitor (insurance agents think renewals). Growth is going to be very tough if you're always chasing new visitors. You need return visitors… That's you're community, you're fans, you're tribe, you're friends… They're important.
How does bounce rate and return visitors affect site speed
Let's start with a little story about the importance of site speed:
Let's say you're looking at Twitter…
…and one of your connections re-tweets a post with an intriguing title, like say, "Why you will never be successful blogging." So you decide to click on the link and see what it's all about.
Maybe you've seen the author's name before, maybe you haven't, either way this is your first visit to this author's website and you're hoping, as you do every time you visit a new website, the post will be awesome and you'll have found a great new resource…
You're all jacked up for the potential of this article you've never read before… Except… one second… Except… two seconds… Except… three seconds… The little picture thing next to Internet window tab is just spinning…
Screw it… too long… Back Button!
And you never see the article. It could have been the most powerful, thought-provoking, world changing piece of writing you would have ever read… probably not… but it's possible… except it took too long for the page to load and you have Internet surf so you hit the back button and moved on.
That's bounce rate… You just bounced off that site.
Worst yet, now that you know this particular website takes time to load are you ever going to click on another link to that site?
You're going to think twice and now you're never be a return visitor.
So how do we increase site speed?
1) Get a better website host
For the first three years that this blog existed it was run on Dreamhost web hosting. When the site was very small Dreamhost was fine. But in the last year traffic has grown significantly and Dreamhost was no longer able to keep up.
I found myself downloading every plugin, trying every trick I could find on the web to get my site to load faster…
Finally, I did some research, read some reviews and made a web hosting switch to Bluehost.
Not only was my website immediately faster… I mean immediately after making the switch I went from a 7 second load time to under 3 seconds…
That's 4 seconds off my load time!
I also saved about $100 a year switching from Dreamhost to Bluehost… I'm not saying you'll see that much savings but I did and it made the switch to increase site speed even sweeter!
Another product I have first hand knowledge of and would definitely recommend is WP Engine. WP Engine is a hosting platform specifically designed for WordPress blogs.
Since my switch to Bluehost web hosting I've seen ~ a 1,500 average hit increase in web traffic. I don't think that switching was the only reason… But those 4 seconds certainly play a role in that growth.
2) Use page cache plugin
Suggesting that you download and install W3 Total Cache is not a groundbreaking recommendation.
However… It is a must for almost everyone with a WordPress blog.
For those that don't know (and no worries if you don't):
"Page Cache" is a process where, in general terms, a clean simple version of your web site is delivered to web visitors making your site run faster.
Every web page, blog post, landing page you create on your site has a ton of code and script that makes it run. All that code and script takes time to load. Page Cache plugins like W3 Total Cache deliver the code and script in a simple, clean format that loads quickly.
I've tried just about every Page Cache plugin out there… W3 Total Cache, though not the easiest to use, is by far the best… Hands down.
3) Deliver media via content deliver network
This sounds super technical… Really it's not.
Here's the deal… Images take up a lot of space on your server and take a lot time to load and render on your website. This is especially true if you're not using a tool like PicMonkey to resize pictures to a functional size.
Let me explain that, when you upload a picture and say it's 1000px high by 1000px wide, which is way too big for your blog post, you use the resize tool in WordPress to make it smaller maybe 250px X 250px. Every time that page loads WordPress is making that conversion… HUGE SLOW DOWN.
What is a Content Delivery Network (CDN)?
A Content Delivery Network is a 3rd party which houses your media files off your site and deliveries the file when called upon.
Content Delivery Networks drastically reduce server load and subsequently increase site speed!
I use Amazon Cloudfront as a CDN. There is a small cost but it's pennies. My bill last month was like 54 cents…
Here's the awesome part. It's so easy to set up:
- Sign up for an account using the link above (not affiliate link)
- Take the account information you get after signing up and enter it into W3 Total Cache
That's it.
Another reason I love W3 Total Cache is the plugin handles my CDN delivery.
4) Use a premium WordPress theme
Again you've probably read many other blogs that say using a premium WordPress theme is crucial to increase site speed.
If you haven't…
…using a premium WordPress theme, like Genesis from Studiopress, is essential to running a quality WordPress blog and site speed is a big part of that quality.
I use Genesis on this site, specifically the eleven40 Theme.
I also use Genesis on The Murray Group website, specifically the Streamline Theme.
I also use Genesis on The GROW Program website, where we rock the Education Theme (new favorite).
I manage three websites and use Genesis on all three… It's not because I love giving Studiopress my money. It's because their designs are:
- fast
- easy to use
- easy to customize
- and look great.
You know what blogs down and slows down a website… Tons of crap. You know all those plugins and design changes and high-resolution photos and all the other crap you put in your website.
Some of it is necessary… Some of it isn't… But every time you add something your site gets a little slower.
What I love about Genesis and why I think a premium theme like Genesis is so crucial to increase site speed is that so much of the crap you'd have to add to a free theme is ALREADY THERE.
Plugins don't always play nice with WordPress but when they're built into a design, integrated properly, your site is faster.
A good alternative to Genesis if you like to shop and research is Thesis Theme for WordPress. A lot excellent blogs run of Thesis as well.
The Rub
Here's the deal. You need a fast website or people are going to leave immediately or never return.
That is just a fact of the Internet world.
No one wants to spend time on your slow-ass site.
So take some time… Spend a little money (I mean a little, none of this costs more than a $100 bucks)… Then implement changes to increase site speed today.
You're thank yourself the next time you open up Google Analytics and the little line counting web traffic is pointing up!
Thank you and Good luck,
I am Ryan Hanley

ADEN (Reuters) - Clashes broke out between militia loyal to Yemeni President Abd-Rabbu Mansour Hadi and rival security forces on Thursday near the airport in the southern city of Aden, bringing air traffic to a halt, local officials said.
They said both sides used medium and light weapons in the fighting near a base that is used by special forces loyal to former President Ali Abdullah Saleh, an ally of the Shi'ite Muslim Houthi movement that controls northern Yemen.
The fighting around the base in the Khor Maksar district of Aden spread to residential districts and prompted roads to the airport to be closed.
There were no details on casualties in the clashes. Airport authorities could not immediately be reached for comment.
The rise to power of the Iran-backed Houthis since September has deepened divisions in Yemen's complex web of political and religious allegiances, and left the country increasingly cut off from the outside world.
Tensions have been heightened in Aden since Hadi fled there in February after escaping a month of house arrest in Sanaa by Houthi forces who seized the capital in September 2014.
Hadi has been trying to consolidate his control over Aden since he fled there, ordering the sacking of the commander of the city's garrison, General Abdel-Hafez al-Saqqaf, and replacing him with one of his officers.
Saqqaf, however, has refused to hand over command of the force, estimated between 1,500-2,000 troops culminating in a standoff.

For Immediate Release
David Card 202-785-5980
ADA Calls for Robust Public Health Care Option
Americans voted for change, not more of the same
WASHINGTON - ADA National Director Michael J. Wilson issued the following statement in response to news a public option was no longer being considered as an essential part of the current health care reform legislation:
"The election of Barack Obama and a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate is a once in a lifetime opportunity to pass real health care reform. It is time for Congress to deliver quality, affordable health care to every American, and for the Obama Administration to make that hope a reality.
"Real health care reform must include a real public option.
"The idea that reform will come from big insurance companies' generosity and willingness to police themselves is laughable. Without competition from a public plan all we'll get is more of the same.
"ADA applauds those Members of Congress who are standing firm in favor of the public plan - especially the House Progressive Caucus. When nearly 50 million Americans are uninsured and a majority of bankruptcies are due to medical costs, drastic action must be taken.
"A public option is a major step forward and must not be negotiated away by politicians too timid to accomplish what the American people sent them to Washington to do."
This is the world we live in. This is the world we cover.
Because of people like you, another world is possible. There are many battles to be won, but we will battle them together—all of us. Common Dreams is not your normal news site. We don't survive on clicks. We don't want advertising dollars. We want the world to be a better place. But we can't do it alone. It doesn't work that way. We need you. If you can help today—because every gift of every size matters—please do. Without Your Support We Simply Don't Exist.
ADA is America's most experienced independent liberal lobbying organization. In the spirit of the New Deal and ADA founders Eleanor Roosevelt, renowned economist John Kenneth Galbraith, and former Senator and Vice President Hubert Humphrey we lobby through coalition partnerships, through direct advocacy, and through the media.

2 thoughts on "Just Porn, and My Own Acceptance of Sexuality"
My wife and I have been together for 12 years now, married for 4. Several years ago, we found one that one way to keep an element of spice in our relationship was to look at porn together. The session can be started in different ways whether it's her starting looking at something naughty and me peeking at her monitor or vice-verca. Either way, we usually end up enjoying the moment together and it leads to more fun later on. I would agree that sexuality is a natural thing for a human to feel, and that being able to feel good by getting off (in a private setting) shouldn't necessarily be frowned upon (*in most circumstances), sharing that experience with someone you love, should only be a benefit to your relationship.
I love reading stories like that. Thank you so much for sharing.

Ice Cube Starting 3-on-3 League for Retired NBA Players Including Billups, Jason Williams
Hip hop legend Ice Cube famously messed around and got a triple-double at a time where he was really having a good day.
The actor/rapper is the major investor in an upstart three-on-three half-court basketball league scheduled to begin play next summer, according to The Vertical's Adrian Wojnarowski.
Former NBA stars such as Kenyon Martin, Jermaine O'Neal, Jason Williams, Stephen Jackson, and Rashard Lewis are among the players committed to the BIG3 league, officials told Wojnarowski.
Current National Basketball Players Association deputy executive director Roger Mason wanted a piece of that action and decided he would be leaving his current job with the union to become president and commissioner of the new league.
Cube explained his inspiration behind this league:
"I thought of this concept as a fan who got sick of seeing his heroes retire and not play anymore," Ice Cube told The Vertical. "A lot of these guys can still play once they retire – just not the back-to-backs or four games in five nights.
"I started to look at three-on-three basketball and wondered, 'Why isn't this played on a pro level?' It's the most normal form of basketball. And from there it was like, 'Yo, why don't we make this happen?'
"Not only do we get a chance to see these guys keep playing, but we give guys who retired who still got some game – who don't want to pick up a [microphone] on TV and who don't want to go overseas to play … some of these guys still want a stage to play on."

News and views on the latest health issues
Britain is heading towards an obesity epidemic, warn health officials, and only a 'lifestyle revolution' can reverse the trend. So will Change4Life be the campaign that finally persuades us to improve our diet and get more active?
"Eat better, move more, live longer" – we're destined to become very familiar with the slogan of the high-profile Change4Life campaign over the next three years.
The new national anti-obesity initiative has an ambitious goal: in the words of Public Health Minister Dawn Primarolo, "We are trying to create a lifestyle revolution on a huge scale – something which no government has attempted before." The campaign forms part of the government's "Healthy Weight, Healthy Lives" strategy, a key goal of which is to reduce the proportion of overweight and obese children to 2000 levels over the next 12 years. So although the healthy lifestyle messages are relevant to everyone, the target audience of Change4Life is families with children under the age of 12. The movement is being launched with a multimillion pound advertising campaign on television, billboards, online and in the press, backed up by a range of promotional tools such as leaflets, an interactive website, local events and sub-brands like Cook4Life, Play4Life and Dance4Life.
The Department of Health (DoH) is emphasising the 'society-wide' nature of the Change4Life movement in the belief that people will only change their own lifestyle habits if they see that everyone else is doing it too. "We want families to engage with the campaign and understand that obesity is not someone else's problem – it's all of our problem," explains Ms Primarolo. To extend the campaign's reach and capitalise on brand loyalties, the DoH is working with a wide range of 'trusted' partners in the governmental, non-governmental and commercial sectors, including supermarkets, food and drinks manufacturers, patient support groups and grassroots organisations. According to the DoH, "If families are to change their behaviours around diet and activity they will need the support of those they trust: their doctors, their schools, the supermarkets where they buy their food, the institutions and brands that they trust." The involvement of companies that manufacture and sell products such as crisps, snacks and sugary drinks has come in for strong criticism in some quarters, however, including the medical journal The Lancet. Its editorial states: "Nobody doubts that innovative ways are urgently needed to achieve behaviour change at a population level for the prevention of an impending obesity epidemic and its related threats to health… [but] ill-judged partnerships with companies that fuel obesity should have been avoided."
According to Health Secretary Alan Johnson, two-thirds of adults and one-third of children in the UK are overweight or obese, and, unless action is taken, this could rise to almost nine in 10 adults and two-thirds of children by 2050. This prediction is lent credence by official statistics suggesting that much of the advice on healthy eating and physical activity emanating from government sources in recent years has fallen on deaf ears. Research consistently shows that, while there are regional and socioeconomic variations, the population as a whole continues to consume too many unhealthy foods and take too little exercise.In a recent survey of consumer attitudes for the Food Standards Agency, for example, just 19 per cent of adults said they'd been trying to cut down on saturated fats in the previous six months, and the same proportion said they planned to do so in the following six months.And survey data published in 2008 by the NHS Information Centre show that, in 2006:
Meanwhile, the number of prescriptions dispensed for the treatment of obesity continues to rise: total prescriptions reached 1.06 million in 2006 – more than eight times the number prescribed in 1999.
Change4Life sets out eight 'healthy behaviours' that can help keep children fit and healthy and reduce their risk of becoming overweight or obese. These are:
60 active minutesHaving an hour of physical activity every day
Up and aboutEncouraging children to get 60 active minutes each day by setting a limit on 'sitting still' time – for example, a maximum of two hours a day
5-A-DayEating five portions of fruit and vegetables every day
Sugar swapsReplacing food and drinks with added sugar with products that are lower in sugar or sugar free
Snack checkSetting a limit on the number of snacks and treats permitted
Me size mealsServing child-sized portions, not adult portions
Meal timeSticking to regular meal times, instead of skipping meals, snacking or eating fast foods
Cut back fatReducing 'bad' fat intake by comparing food labels, swapping certain foods for others and switching to healthier cooking methods.Families can receive a personalised 'Free Action Plan' that identifies what they're doing right and what they can work on improving by visiting the Change4Life website and completing the 'How are the kids?' questionnaire.Meanwhile, if you want to start making some 'changes4life' today, why not round up the kids for a fun family fitness game? And for a tasty family supper, try out one of this month's recipes – they're all reassuringly low in unhealthy saturated fats: Healthier macaroni cheeseBeef and mushroom stroganoff

This car or truck is draining my finances and affecting my psychological nicely becoming….. Any ideas significantly appreciated
December 22nd – Car up on ramp at Uncovered that the DPF equipped to my car or truck was welded on from A further make/design… badly!
Had my auto back again for more than per month now and performed seven hundred miles and its only done a person regen. Nevertheless considering getting the Silly factor eliminated but so far so fantastic.
The DPF mild duly returned. Like Other people – 20 mins a time, about two times weekly, so each individual 300 miles. I could not get it into a garage when The sunshine was on, so I just ongoing to drive it, assuming might have a complete healthy at some point.
December 14th, – Not able to distinct DPF light.. back to VW to check with why In spite of transformed driving design and style this has occurred yet again. Now advised ought to travel on motorway Just about each day when you possess a DPF diesel. VW mechanic explained to us it will need changing at 100k and suggested (off the history) to own it taken out
Notice it absolutely was 6pm Once i got to my Business office. I requested the service advisor if we ended up about to retain repeating this cycle for The 2 decades guarantee to the sensor – and he claimed Sure assuming that the computer keeps stating it was that. I stated I suspect its the actual DPF filter and explained I'd little question be again. I used to be proper – two journeys to work and back and it had been back in limp method. This was the subsequent Thursday due to some Performing from home that 7 days. I took it straight back to Audi about the early morning of Friday 6th Sept, driving it sixty five miles in limp method. I instructed them they had a whole week to fix it as I was on holiday break overseas the subsequent week. I acquired a raise back the sixty five miles household. To add complication the car desired an MOT another 7 days. Audi click for source available a competitive £fifty price for that MOT, so I said be sure to get it done, For those who Correct IT. On the next Wednesday, although on holiday getaway, I obtain a information from your support advisor to lastly confess it had been the DPF filter which is defective. Not merely that but they had MOT'd it anyway and it had failed on emissions as a consequence of being in limp manner, which cannot be tested! I had been furious, as this now place me with a closing date to obtain it fixed and retested, and they realized I had been abroad. Audi wanted £1,850 to the filter, unsure if this was even equipped as I had no intention of replacing it. I'd already decided on suggestions of community forums such as this that I would've the DPF filter taken off. I organised to gather the vehicle from Audi on Saturday morning and acquire it to Angel Tuning at Banbury, as they had been shut sufficient and I had viewed their title advisable. Angel Tuning could not happen to be extra distinctive to Audi. They were very beneficial, appreciating my situation and the necessity to get it performed rapidly, and in many cases went out of their method to organise a courtesy car or truck. I dropped it off early Saturday afternoon, and collected it all over again on Tuesday evening, acquiring had the DPF deletion finished. The vehicle IS SO Significantly better. No searching all-around through the engine within the motorway even though it tries to regenerate – it is so significantly better! And it went straight back again to your bemused Audi who passed the emmissions over the MOT right now. I'm conscious you can find more affordable sites to obtain the DPF deletion done, but I would suggest their expertise and track record. So, This can be hopefully the end of my DPF story, and I can retain my motor vehicle for one more handful of years and 60,000 miles. Hope this continues to be appealing/useful, or produced a person experience like they are not by itself with this particular horrific difficulty! Many thanks also for the recommendation to the forum Everybody!
Regrettably, the inadequate implementation with the curriculum, which happens to be created to prepare them to get effective inside the Culture for just a positive convert about from the national economic climate, is adversely affecting the nationwide economy.
Also, education and learning improves the development of any society for this reason, the need to the educated a single's to occupy major positions as a way to Increase the society.
I recommend this slower technique for the reason that Even though HotelShield may possibly manage to sustain itself, I severely question that it's going to be financially rewarding. When you charge lower charges, you get paid significantly less revenue. That's easy accounting. Also, on the internet vacation agencies appeal to buyers because they expend big chunks of your income they are doing gain on mass-current market marketing.
Have you ever adjusted your driving type / duration of journeys whatsoever For the reason that injectors have been replaced?
However the issue with the DPF, they will probably offer diminished labor but still charge you for the cost of a DPF filter.
