FALMOUTH—We knew the Falmouth boys' basketball team was good, but what the Yachtsmen have accomplished over the past week makes it appear that they're the best team in the state regardless of class.
After handling three Class A foes, as well as a squad from New York during the holiday break, Falmouth returned to league play Thursday night with a highly anticipated home showdown of unbeatens against York.
It didn't take long for the Yachtsmen to leave even the tall, talented and seasoned Wildcats in their wake in a rematch of last year's regional semifinal.
After a back-and-forth first quarter, Falmouth simply flipped a switch and before you knew it, a one-point lead after one period had become 11 at halftime, then was upped to a stunning 24 after three quarters.
Sophomore Jack Simonds was the catalyst early, scoring 10 first quarter points. Senior Charlie Fay got the surge started in the second period with a rousing dunk and capped it with a pretty reverse layup. In the third quarter, senior Grant Burfiend stole the show with 10 points en route to a game-high 22.
In truth, it was a team effort as the Yachtsmen never looked back and went on to a stunning-in-its-decisiveness 71-51 triumph, improving to 7-0, while handing York its first loss in seven outings.
"We're a good team," said longtime Falmouth coach Dave Halligan, in the understatement of the new year. "(York's) an excellent team. One of the best. The kids played very well tonight. I was very pleased."
York entered the season as the favorite and hasn't disappointed, winning at Fryeburg (54-35) and Greely (71-48) to start, then downing visiting Poland (72-39), host Yarmouth (72-48), host Traip (68-39) and visiting Freeport (70-19) before the holiday break.
Falmouth, meanwhile, graduated plenty of talent from last year's regional finalist, but several returning players did see ample playing time a year ago and the Yachtsmen were bolstered by the addition of some new players. As a result, Falmouth didn't miss a beat, winning at Cape Elizabeth (72-49), at home over Fryeburg (83-33) and Greely (63-45), at Poland (68-35), at Yarmouth (55-34) and at Traip (74-47).
The Yachtsmen then spent last week at a holiday tournament at the Portland Expo, where they handled Western A contenders South Portland, Marshwood and Portland, along with Susan Wagner of New York, en route to a tournament title.
"Portland was fun to play because they're fast tempo," said Fay. "That was a good test to get us ready for this game."
"They're exhibitions, but in the back of our minds, we want to do better and extend ourselves," said Halligan. "We had great games against South Portland, Portland, Marshwood and Susan Wagner. We played Deering, Portland and Bonny Eagle in the preseason. It's helped us get better."
That set the stage for a showdown of unbeatens.
Last year, Falmouth won all three meetings, but none of them were easy. The Yachtsmen prevailed at York, 44-37, at home, 57-52, in overtime, then, in the Western B semifinals, Falmouth erased a 12-point second half deficit to end the Wildcats' season, 49-45.
Thursday, for eight minutes, it appeared another fight to the finish was in store, but the Yachtsmen quickly ended the competitive phase of the contest.
It took the teams a few minutes to feel each other out and the score was just 3-2 York midway through the first quarter and eventually 9-2 Wildcats, before Falmouth, more precisely Simonds, started to heat up. Simonds would can a couple 3s and scored 10 points in all as the Yachtsmen roared back to lead, 16-15, after one quarter.
"Shots were falling," said Simonds. "When you have a rhythm, you go with it. We had a good game plan tonight."
"Jack's big for us," said Burfeind. "He's mature and experienced. When he's hot, we try to get the ball to him."
"Jack's a big-time player," added Halligan. "Big-time players step up in big-time games."
Just 23 seconds into the second period, Falmouth junior Justin Rogers set up Burfeind for a 3. York got a jumper from junior Ross Hogan to make it 19-17, but the Yachtsmen erupted for six quick points as Fay brought the crowd to life with a dunk after a steal and promising freshman Thomas Coyne sank four free throws in a 10-second span for a 25-17 advantage.
The Wildcats got 3 points back on a long 3 from senior Adam Bailey, but Coyne countered with a 3-ball and Burfeind made a layup after a steal to push the lead to 10, 30-20, midway through the quarter.
An old-fashioned three-point play (layup, foul, free throw) from senior Zach Leal brought York within seven, but Falmouth continued to soar as Burfeind hit a jump shot, Simonds banked home a shot and Coyne converted on a floater to make it 36-23.
"I think I've adapted well to the offense," said Coyne.
"Coyne has brought enthusiasm," said Halligan. "You can tell he loves basketball. It can't be a job. You have to have fun. All the kids are having fun. We're winning which makes it easier. They've given me everything I've asked for. "
The visitors sandwiched a layup from Leal and a jumper from senior Aaron Todd around a Fay reverse layup to pull within 11, 38-27, at halftime.
If the Yachtsmen's 22-12 second quarter run was impressive, they'd dazzle further in the third period with a 23-10 surge.
Just 31 seconds in, senior Tom Wilberg fed Fay for a layup. After the visitors countered on a left-handed layup from senior Hayden Webster, Fay again brought the house down when he slammed home a Burfeind miss and seconds later, scored on another reverse layup to make it 44-29.
"It got my confidence up and the team's spirit," said Fay. "I hope the fans liked it."
"When (Charlie) had those circus shots, my jaw dropped," said Burfeind.
"(Charlie's) just starting to realize how good he is," added Halligan. "He's a good athlete. Big kids develop later and he's worked hard. He's developed leaps and bounds from junior to senior year. He has good energy. He's fun to watch."
Todd countered with a long jump shot, but Burfeind made a layup after a steal, was fouled intentionally on the play and made both free throws for a four-point play. Wilberg then went to the line and hit one of two attempts to give Falmouth a five-point trip and a 49-31 advantage.
The Wildcats got consecutive hoops from junior Michael Gallagher, but Wilberg took a pass from Fay and made a layup before Burfeind heated up from behind the arc, nailing consecutive 3s to essentially end all drama and give the Yachtsmen an emphatic 57-35 advantage.
"Anyone on this team can score," Burfeind said. "I guess tonight I was one of those people who was hot."
"(Grant's) getting his basketball legs," said Halligan. "He's coming around."
A Leal layup ended the 8-0 run, but in the waning seconds, Falmouth got a floater from Simonds and a runner from Coyne to take a 61-37 lead to the final stanza.
"We changed our defense and I think some of our reserves came in and contributed big-time minutes," said Halligan. "The star players were negating each other."
In the fourth quarter, the Yachtsmen never allowed the Wildcats to entertain any hopes of making it a game.
After York got a putback from senior Luke Claflin and a jumper from Webster, Coyne made a 3 and Fay scored on a layup to push the lead to 25, 66-41. Gallagher answered with a jumper and Bailey sank a 3, but that only pulled the Wildcats within 20.
Wilberg made two foul shots, Burfeind hit one, Todd made a layup and after Simonds scored on a layup for Falmouth's final points, Todd buried a 3 to account for a 71-51 final tally.
"We ran our stuff, played good defense and hit our shots," said Coyne.
"We hit our shots," said Fay. "When one person wasn't, we got the ball to another person. We have a lot of weapons. We got momentum and we took it to them."
"We definitely weren't expecting this, but it feels really good to get this win," Burfeind said. "We hadn't seen any film on them, so we didn't know what to expect. We got used to them in the first quarter and after that, we took away their game and played ours."
Burfiend had a game-high 22 points. Simonds added 16, Fay 14, Coyne 12 and Wilberg seven. The Yachtsmen were also solid on the glass (Fay had nine rebounds, Simonds eight). Burfeind added five steals and four assists and Wilberg had five assists. Fay also blocked three shots, while Simonds had two rejections.
For York, Todd led the way with 14 points. Leal added 10, Bailey nine, Gallagher and Webster six each, Claflin four and Hogan two.
Long way to go
The rematch is Feb. 5 in York and there's a good chance the Yachtsmen and Wildcats will meet again at the Cumberland County Civic Center in late February, but both teams have a lot of work to do first.
The Wildcats (now fourth in the Western Class B Heal Points standings) are back in action Saturday when they host Gray-New Gloucester. In addition to hosting Falmouth, York also welcomes Cape Elizabeth, Greely and Wells and has games at Cape Elizabeth and Wells to navigate.
Falmouth's next game is Saturday when it hosts Freeport. Later in the month, the top-ranked Yachtsmen are at Greely, host Cape Elizabeth and visit Wells in consecutive outings. Falmouth also hosts Wells four days prior to meeting York and closes the regular season at Yarmouth Feb. 8.
The Yachtsmen are pretty darned impressive at this juncture, but they're committed to improving.
A scary thought for the rest of the league.
"We need to keep practicing like we're playing the best team on our schedule," Burfeind said.
"We have to avoid the high highs," said Simonds. "We won't ride on this victory. We'll prepare for Freeport. We get better because we battle each other in practice."
"We need to keep getting better as the season goes on," Coyne said.
"We'll pretend like we're 0-0," said Fay.
"When we go down to York, it could be a different story," Halligan added. "We'll work hard and get better to compete down there. We have to keep working hard in practice. We practice for the next game. We always feel that's the biggest game on our schedule."

Using the VALENTINE SET and the VALENTINE HEARTS SET set for this card. For the background I layered two pieces of vellum--one pattern (striped) and one plain-- which I embossed with the circle heart stamp. I then used the heart border from the Valentine Hearts set for the top and bottom borders. I used the word "LOVE" from the Valentine set. For the inside I combined the two sets again, using the heart and the cupids. I had fun making this card because it took me out of my comfort zone. Layering the vellum was a challenge. I decided to use wet glue so that it would buckle some. In order to hide the adhesive, I put it behind all the elements on the front of the card."
Show us your love projects at CREATIVE CUTTING CHALLENGE! Any entry (that features an electronic cutting file) geared towards "LOVE" will be accepted: Valentines, Weddings, Engagements, etc.

By now you've probably heard about our evasive cover girl, Lindsay Lohan, and enjoyed our Grand Hustle double feature of cover stories with T.I. and B.o.B, but today marks the official nationwide on-sale date for our August/September issue. If you haven't already, cop one for the crib.
Since The King was nice enough to let us trail him for the whole day while he did a press run in New York, we of course spoke to him about some things that we never ended up using in the magazine. So instead of leaving potential gems on the cutting room floor, we decided to give you some of the outtakes so you could read his thoughts on Lil Wayne's incarceration, his friendship with Eminem, and who influenced his style. T.I. is back, so read on...
Interview by Toshitaka Kondo
Complex: At this point, does being "King of the South" mean as much to you as it did before?
T.I.: It is what it is now. It's sort of like asking Jordan if it's still "Air Jordan."
Complex: You've been very involved in your clothing line, AKOO. Growing up, did you look up to any celebrities in terms of style?
T.I.: Nah, not really. Maybe when I got older.
Complex: Once you got into the game?
T.I.: Not necessarily in the game, but I got most of my style from people around me who I knew personally. Back then we had LL Cool J and Run DMC, so it was really about jackets and jogging suits. Slick Rick I could say is someone whose style I admired. Slick Rick and Dana Dane. It was always a mixture...
Complex: So dudes who dressed classy.
T.I.: Yeah. I respected and admired that, but I also respected N.W.A. for what they did. I had an equal amount of admiration for both sides. I could see myself in the fur coats, turtleneck sweaters, with the Kangol hats like Slick Rick and Dana Dane. But I could also see myself in a leather Troop suit like LL Cool J.
Complex: Whose style do you admire these days?
T.I.: Puff and Jay. Puff has an all-around style, upscale, urban, and classic. I can say that for both. They just have a different way of doing it. I am very selective with my clothes. This is a time where fashion and style go against what I would rather do myself. So I have to pick and choose from people that share my enthusiasm when it comes to certain things. I'm not going to do red jeans. No green jeans. I don't do Vans and that's the style right now. I don't want to show my socks when I'm wearing jeans. So, when you ask me who I look up to and who I can admire for their style right now, I have to choose from people that represent what I represent stylistically.
Complex: Many people say gangsta rap isn't popular right now. How do you feel about that?
T.I.: There's a lot of truth to that. The trend is migrating into a different direction. Gangsta rap, you still have...
Complex: Jeezy and Ross.
T.I.: Yeah, but those are already established artists.
Complex: Maybe Nipsey Hussle?
T.I.: Yeah, but I think you have to drop an album to truly see the effects of your following.
Complex: I know you and Lil' Wayne have a close relationship, have you remained in contact since he went in?
T.I.: Yeah I've spoken to him a few times. He's doing good. He sounds good. I think he is going to be putting this behind him sooner than later.
Complex: Do you give him advice or is it more casual talk?
T.I.: Nah, I got no advice. Before he went in, I called him and offered him some advice. That's all I can do. That's all anybody expects you to do.
Complex: Did you get any advice before you went away right?
T.I.: Nah... well actually, yes I did. I got some from my uncle. He did 10 years in the Fed system, so there were things that he told me that helped me save some time.
Complex: Have you had a chance to visit Lil Wayne?
T.I.: Nah, not yet—I will be.
Complex: Wayne got in trouble after being caught at Rikers with iPod headphones and a charger. Did you have any similar issues?
T.I.: Wayne is in a state facility. I was in a fed facility so I don't know the regulations of what they are and aren't allowed to do. For us, yes, we had AM/FM radios and headphones.
Complex: Were they state-issued headphones?
T.I.: Nah.
Complex: Were they like iPod headphones?
T.I.: Nah, they were like little Sony radios and other different brand names or off-brand names sometimes. The headphones were I think called Koss. Like the big C-10.
Complex: Oh they looked like "Beats By Dr.Dre" headphones?
T.I.: Yeah, the sound was nowhere near.
Complex: Was it difficult to go from listening to music all the time in nice speakers to those Koss ones?
T.I.: Yeah, it was difficult, but that was the least of my adjustment.
Complex: How were you getting music in there? Do they let you go on the Internet?
T.I.: Nah.
Complex: You can't use the Internet at all?
T.I.: Not at all.
Complex: So you found out information from friends visiting?
T.I.: Yeah friends visiting, but we had TV so we got videos and radio, BET, MTV, VH1, ESPN, letters, and magazines.
Complex: I know you have had a good relationship with Eminem since you worked together on T.I. vs T.I.P. Have you worked on more music together since then?
T.I.: We did two or three records in that time. We haven't worked on any more since, but we definitely have plans to do so.
Complex: You guys have remained in communication, right?
T.I.: Yeah, close communication. We've been speaking back and forth ever since.
Complex: Do you guys ever get to hang out at all?
T.I.: Nah, not yet. Not presently, but we will. We always plan on it and talk about how we should make it happen. But he movin' a million miles a minute and so am I, so whenever our schedules permits us to, we will do so.
Complex: On a more serious note, with the revelations that your former artist, Alfamega, cooperated with authorities in the past and your body guard cooperated with the authorities, which led to you catching federal weapons charges, how did that change you in terms of trusting people?
T.I.: It made me more cautious and aware. I'm not to the point where I need to shut myself off from people, unless I feel like I need to, but I don't force myself to deal with people. If I'm not in the mood to deal with you, then I just don't deal with you. I look at it like, me not dealing with you could save me a lot of trouble—me forcing myself to deal with you could bring me a lot of trouble. So I just play it by ear.
Complex: With the situation with Alfa, do you wonder how you let someone like that get into your camp?
T.I.: Nah, I don't feel like that. The people who introduced him to me, they didn't know. I ain't trippin' off that. On some real shit, I don't think about. I'm not angry, I'm not upset. I don't have any hard feelings.
Complex: Have you seen him since? People were shocked when the news came out.
T.I.: No I haven't. Shit, we were, too. I'm past that.
Complex: Is B.G. still on Grand Hustle?
T.I.: Nah, I believe he went back to Cash Money.
Complex: You co-executive produced his last album, Too Hood 2 Be Hollywood. Did it get lost in the shuffle?
T.I.: Nah, it didn't. It's hard to say; I really did want it to work, but I just couldn't get Atlantic to see what I saw. Especially with me being away and not in the building. I couldn't make them invest in it. He had some hot shit.
Complex: What's going on with Young Dro?
T.I.: Dro got music for days. He's just... I don't know, man. He just need to come on with it.
Complex: Has it been hard for him to find "that" record?
T.I.: The records he likes, I feel like they have regional success. The records I feel he could have are not instantaneous regionally. So we have to find a common ground.
Complex: When you were filming your first movie, ATL, you talked about how you were coming late to script readings at first.
T.I.: Yeah, I almost got fired.
Complex: Were you out partying?
T.I.: I wouldn't say partying, but shit... I was just doin' me, living my life.
Complex: You weren't prepared for how strict filming a movie could be?
T.I.: I wasn't even warned to be prepared. No one ever told me. You know when muthafuckas say "Ay, man, don't be late..." So if I come 15 minutes late I think I'm straight, I'm on time. But they meant don't be a minute late, be early. That's what they should have said: "Be early." But valuable lesson learned.
Complex: So the producers said they were going to kick you out the film?
T.I.: Actually my agent and the director, Chris Robinson. He was like "Ay, man, I need you. This is my first movie, this is your first movie, and if they fire you they're going to shut the movie down."
Complex: Had filming even started at that point?
T.I.: It was in its first week.
Complex: After that you shaped up?
T.I.: Yeah, I did.
Complex: You were a producer for your new movie, Takers. What did you learn from that?
T.I.: Well, just what it takes to successfully present a film. So many people to have to be on the same page at the same time to successfully present a motion picture to the public. From production to marketing to promotion to pre-production to casting. It's so many different elements to a film. Just learning the ins and outs and how the machine works.
Complex: What would you say is more difficult, producing a film or overseeing a label?
T.I.: Producing a film is more unfamiliar territory. Although producing an album and overseeing artists is a task within itself. But film is unfamiliar territory so, here and now, that's more difficult.
Complex: Is there anything you learned you can't do when producing a film?
T.I.: I can't say. It was a very positive experience. I think once I learned the fundamentals I learned in ATL, I was able to carry to American Gangster and Takers. It made me a better actor, a better star, and a better producer.
Complex: You mentioned that your agent asked you why you were still rapping.
T.I.: Of course, while I'm doing a movie the label gon' be asking me why I'm doing the movie thing. They gon' be thinking I should be doing the album. Everyone has agendas. That's just his. If I had just focused on movies ever since American Gangster, I could have been up to $7 to $10 million a movie right now. That's just a conversation that he and I had.
Complex: What do you tell him when he asks why you still rap?
T.I.: I say it's passion. I wouldn't trade it for all the diamonds out of Africa.

This NBA season, I decided to create a Fantasy Basketball League. I had no idea how seriously involved I was going to be. Within the first two weeks, I created an Excel spreadsheet to help me analyze my team. As a result, I learned some cool tips & tricks in Excel.
Array formulas helped me to accomplish the following scenario:
Look at the GREM (games remaining) column. It looks at the content on the same row that includes columns MON through SUN. At the beginning of a new week (which begins on Monday), I want to see how many games the player has yet to play. If a number appears in the column (as seen in the case with LeBron James), that means that game has been played, so only count the remaining games in the week.
Although not shown in the screen capture above, should the word "bench" appear in any column referencing a day in the week, I do not want that counted in the GREM column.
How did I make it work? Here is the formula:
Do you see the curly braces surrounding the formula? This is accomplished by pressing [CTRL] [SHIFT] [ENTER] when the formula inside is complete (do not manually add the curly braces). This syntax is known as an array formula. In the example above, column AN is Monday, and column AT is Sunday. Row 9 is referring to the line of data for LeBron James.
Now here is what is awesome about array formulas. Notice how I am evaluating AN9:AT9 as if it were a single value? For the developer nerd in you, consider this like a FOR EACH statement. It is basically evaluating each cell in that range to determine if it meets the criteria.
If you have complex business rules that require per cell criteria evaluation, array formulas will be one of your most powerful Excel allies!

Hi everyone,
A few years ago I posted on this forum a link to a choose-your-own-adventure online comic called Escape From Friend Zone. I'm happy to say that I've cleaned up, fixed up, and re-colored the comic and the remastered version now has its own URL:

St James' Park skipper linked with highly unlikely move to Upton Park.
NEWCASTLE skipper Kevin Nolan could be a shock summer target for West Ham United.
The Toon midfielder has been watched by the Hammers and will be in their sights if they can escape relegation.
Scouser Nolan – club top scorer this season with 12 goals – has two years left on his contract and is in talks with the Magpies over a new deal.
SOURCE: Daily Star
Really can't see this happening. Why would Newcastle United skipper Kevin Nolan, who has been in fine form for the Magpies ever since he arrived at the club two and a bit years ago, leave St James' Park for West Ham? It is fairly likely that the Hammers will be in the Championship next term but even if they do escape the drop it would still make little or no sense for the former Bolton man to leave for the East London strugglers.
Of course Nolan will hope that owner Mike Ashley puts his hands in his pockets to bring in some much needed additions to Alan Pardew's side and he will also hope that the likes of Jose Enrique, Jonas Gutierrez and Joey Barton all stick with the Toon Army this summer, but even if the England hopeful did have plans to leave Newcastle United, and I severely doubt he would, why would he join the club that is currently bottom of the table?
Avram Grant has his work cut out over the next month or so, the Israeli has four games to keep his side up or face the sack if he fails to avoid the drop. West Ham have suffered in recent weeks after a decent run of form looked like it would see the Hammers avoid the drop, that slump coincided with the loss of mercurial skipper Scott Parker and any hope of beating relegation to the Championship will depend very much on whether the England international can recover from injury to help his side find their feet.

Downtown Hays dodged a bullet, to be sure. It is difficult to conclude anything else after no injuries or fatalities resulted from a Union Pacific freight train striking a stationary train early Tuesday morning.
The collision took place at about 1:25 a.m. Tuesday when a westbound train with three locomotives and 79 cars was diverted from the main track onto a side rail near Eighth and Vine. The train's planned trek to Denver was abruptly terminated when it struck another train parked in the railyard.
Eighteen cars derailed: 10 from the westbound train, four from the stationary one, and four more from yet another train sitting on an adjacent track in the yard. The locomotives caught fire, shooting flames some 40 feet into the air.
The three crew members onboard -- an engineer, conductor and switchman -- were uninjured.
So were the quick-responding local safety personnel. On the scene were representatives from the Hays Fire Department, Ellis County Rural Fire Department, Victoria Fire Department, Ellis Fire Department, Hays Police Department, Ellis County Sheriff's Office and Ellis County EMS.
"This was a very large incident for the city of Hays to manage," said Hays Fire Chief Gary Brown, who was the incident commander on the scene. "Quite frankly, all the key players came together to manage it effectively."
Using foam and lots of water, firefighters were able to extinguish the blaze by 8:30 that morning. Throughout the night, they also prevented flames from reaching 20 cars full of low-grade ethanol at the rear of the westbound train. Pooling water mixed with diesel fuel was kept away from Chetolah Creek and residents from Parkview Mobile Home Park and adjacent apartments were temporarily relocated to a shelter at Holy Family Elementary School.
Serendipity was in full effect for at least the Hays Fire and Police departments. Five days earlier, personnel had conducted a drill on how to handle a train accident involving a fire at the crossing near Eighth and Vine.
Other factors in play helped minimize the disaster potential.
"No. 1, with night time, less traffic to deal with," said Hays Police Chief Don Scheibler. "If the accident was a little farther to the west, (it could have) set downtown on fire."
Rail traffic was restored to the main line that same day. Union Pacific crews and contractors have refurbished the damaged side rail as well. At this point, all that remains of the accident are a few rail cars lying on their sides. And pending results from the investigations underway by both Union Pacific and the National Transportation Safety Board.
"Naturally, the investigation is why that train (that was supposed) to stay on the main line ... was diverted into the rail yard," said UP spokesman Mark Davis. "That's the focus."
Mistakes happen in every industry. As the switch is operated manually, the investigation likely will assign blame to some individual. Explanations for the derailment are in the hands of Union Pacific and the NTSB.
Hays residents need only be thankful we're not dealing with the aftermath of a tragedy. It could have been much worse.

Nexen-CNOOC deal receives US approval
Nexen Inc. received approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) regarding its CNOOC Ltd.'s $15.1 billion acquisition of Nexen.
[Editors Note: Story updated with Markey comment]
Nexen Inc. received approval from the Committee on Foreign Investment in the United States (CFIUS) regarding its CNOOC Ltd.'s $15.1 billion acquisition of Nexen.
All of the requisite approvals have been received now for the transaction to proceed to close, Nexen said. That includes approvals from Canada, the UK, the European Union, and China (OGJ Online, July 30, 2012).
Closing is expected the week of Feb. 25, Nexen said. Nexen's assets in the UK, US, and other countries will continue to be managed from its regional offices, and CNOOC will retain the current management and employees in those operations.
Previously, CNOOC said it is committed to Nexen's assets in the UK and will maintain its operations in the Gulf of Mexico and offshore Nigeria.
In response to what he called the potential transfer of US royalty-free drilling to CNOOC as part of the deal, Rep. Edward J. Markey (D-Mass.) said he will introduce legislation giving the US Interior Secretary new authority to block "a loophole preventing the approval of similar lease transfers in the future."
"Chinese government-owned oil corporations should not be allowed to drill for American oil in the Gulf of Mexico without paying a dime in royalties to US taxpayers," Markey said. "The Interior Department should have the authority to review all possible transfers of oil and gas leases on public lands so that we can prevent massive wealth transfers from US taxpayers to foreign governments."

I've written a post before about link building with your resume and have found a lot of resources on the web to build on.

Hi Guys,
I'm new to this site and indeed to any real on-line forums, but I am desperate. I recently spent a fair amount of money purchasing an on-line plug in Microsoft Access database driven script for my Front Page 2003 website. Everything appears to be going well, except for two areas; one of which is the most crucial.
Everytime I fill in the on-line registration page, the details are automatically populating to the database but I am neither getting a confirmation page nor are emails being sent to myself and the recipient
Despite the company giving suggestions on page customizations and encouraging their clients to experiment in customizing their scripts and pages, they do not provide technical support on scripts or pages that have been customized. As I don't know anything about script writing, I was hoping one of you "Gurus" might be able to solve these issues (scripts attached)
I have tried to submit the script but the page won't allow the number of text required.

Ford Explorer Sport Trac - IV
silverst Posts: 1The shimmy you describe will not go away with the change of tires. Mine has had 5 sets since 9/00 when I purchased it. The dealer has added a noise/vibration dampener, lateral shocks because the rear end jumps to the side when you go over bumps, changed the drive shaft, replaced parts in the rear end, changed a wheel assembly, turned and then replaced front rotors. The vibration would disappear for 2 weeks and then start all over again. The Ford Tech came down several times and their fancy machine points to the tires everytime. Even with Michelin's it still does it and now am in the process of a buyback because they can't resolve the problem. It has 26k miles on it in 8 months and the problems have been going on since 3k. The dealership is not the problem--Ford is--they say I will pay for the mileage over 12k which is about $4K. I love the truck--just wish Ford would stand behind it.0
dwilliams7 Posts: 2My truck is still stalling after my 3rd visit to the dealer. This time he adjusted the TP to 1.01 volts (up from 0.96 volts). So I went back to the dealership today and test drove anotheer ST that had the 5 speed. It also stalled when I came to a turn with my foot off the gas and pushed in the clutch as I turned. Pushing in the clutch when the RPM's are still around 2K allows the engine to drop far below idle speed then the power steering seems to add just enough pull to kill the engine. I tried a similar menuvure with an automatic and guess what, it stalled also. The service manager has since confided in me that it is obvious to him there is a problem with the IAC programming in the V6 engine. He is waiting to hear back from Ford about a fix...0
Check with the fleet manager for his best lease price. You can easily do it over the phone with any hassle.
Also, there is a lot more detailed info on the Sport Trac at http://www.mysporttrac.com/ than is on here.0
The August 01 Consumer Reports compares the ST to the 4 doors from Toyota, Nissan Frontier, Chevy and Dodge. The ST was rated number 1 and got an overall rating of Very Good. They rated the STs emergency handling highly. The Dodge was not recommended because of poor showing in reliability. The Nissan and Chevy were rated in last place, the Toyota rated as having a "terrible ride"0

You can find most Sport Trac info at the following link. Its a great site with tons of info on the Sport Trac.0
guigs Posts: 3I'm thinking of buying a 2001 ST leftover MSRP is 28,010 have a quote of 25,000. Is that good or bad? What about the reliability of the ST, anybody have anything that will help in my decision. Mike in PA0
basshead Posts: 3There aren't that many differences. They are adding some new colors: Zinc Yellow Clearcoat, Silver Birch Clearcoat Metallic, True Blue Clearcoat Metallic and Aspen Green Clearcoat Metallic.
The gas tank will hold 23 gallons; up from the previous 20.5 gallon tank.
A standard 16-inch cast aluminum wheel will replace the 15-inch wheel.
Also, the Sport Trac will have an electrochromic rear view mirror.0
markstoma Posts: 1Guys and Gals, my lease is coming up on my 99 Expedition (was $2000 down and $325/month) and am now looking to purchase a Explorer Sport Trak. I've seen many deals in the paper, but am curious as what is possible. Looks like $100 over invoice and great financing. Pls share with me your successes in negoitiating a great price.0
I've experienced the same thing, but mine is a 2001 with 5 speed auto. I've heard there is a TSB on 1999 with the SOHC, but I haven't looked it up yet.
From what I've heard, it is a valve sticking, but I'm skeptical because this is a 1999 problem and I would think that the problem would have been solved on the SportTrac during manufacturing.
I'll look it up (I have a buddy that has all the ALLDATA records, and if I find the TSB, I'll post it.0
No luck on finding a TSB or with the dealer service department. I guess that I'll keep driving it until it quits completely or fixes itself. It does seem like it ikles a bit low when cold, and a buddy that has another 2001 says his seems to idle low too. Anyone experienced this?0
minnindy Posts: 1I read your two entries with reference to your sport trac stalling. Are you still having this problem? I see the last entry you made was in june so what was the final result? I too have had this problem with a 2002 sport trac, manual transmission!!!!!!!!!0
markg9 Posts: 1I'm thinking about buying the Sport Trac. I live in Colorado, one of the questions I have is, how does it handle going up mountains. Can it hold a reasonable speed going up those mountains. Other than that are you happy with yours.0
jguldner Posts: 1I want to keep the rear window vented (open about 2 inches at top) during rain. Anyone know where I can find something to mount above and across the top of the vent window to prevent rain from coming in? Maybe I missed it in mysporttrac.com Thank you.0

Editor's note: Julian E. Zelizer is a professor of history and public affairs at Princeton University. He is the author of "Arsenal of Democracy: The Politics of National Security -- From World War II to the War on Terrorism," a book on the presidency of George W. Bush and a book on former President Carter, to be published next fall by Times Books.
Princeton, New Jersey (CNN) -- The Democratic National Committee has launched a new website where anyone can upload videos. Call this the political YouTube.
The "accountability project," as the DNC has named it, is an effort systematically to capture the kind of "Macaca" moment that brought down Republican Sen. George Allen in 2006 when he made racially tinged remarks at a rally. A more recent example is the video clip from a private fundraiser last week that captured Republican National Committee Chairman Michael Steele questioning the war in Afghanistan, comments that have prompted calls for Steele's resignation.
Democrats have gone a step further by institutionalizing the power of YouTube politics with the hope of finding clips that will damage Republicans.
This is a terrible idea. Without question, the website will escalate the partisan arms race that exists to dominate the arena of gotcha politics. Republicans surely will replicate the site. While some video clips can certainly be useful and they can expose the egregious behavior of politicians, YouTube clips too often provide short visuals that lack context and are skewed for political purposes.
Partisan politics have been on a downward slope for decades. The media have often made things worse as editorial control over the dissemination of information has eroded to a point that is beyond repair.
While nostalgia is always a dangerous thing, during the dominance of major newspapers and network news in the 1950s and 1960s, there was a virtue to the fact that editors and producers retained much tighter control over information before it reached the public. Although the system was far from perfect, there was some kind of check against spreading unsubstantiated information or releasing stories without placing them in their proper context.
The production of the network news was indicative of how slow and controlled the news cycle was. Until the 1980s, the television news cycle revolved around half-hour broadcasts in the evening at 7. In the morning, the news division met to discuss stories in the major newspapers. Executives, anchors and producers debated which stories should be highlighted. The executive producer (with the tacit permission of the anchor) would contact the bureaus to develop the pieces that he had decided to run.
By 3:30 p.m. the producers were informed about how the segments were developing, and the executive producer released a list at 4 p.m. that included the stories for the evening. The anchor had to approve the final decision. The deadline for final changes was 5:30 p.m. The networks used the remaining 90 minutes for editing and preparation. Late-breaking stories could be inserted but only for a major event.
During the show, the anchor read the stories with related images appearing on screen. Several times the show cut to taped stories, and toward the end of the 1960s the networks introduced short commentary sections.
That world has virtually disappeared. While the networks still produce their nightly news shows, most Americans turn to other sources throughout the day to obtain their information.
First, the advent of cable news, which really got under way with the launch of CNN in 1980, intensified the competition within the media to get out stories immediately. The networks and cable news stations scrambled to capture narrowing markets of viewers by being the first to report on big stories.
With the 24 hours allotted to cable stations, news was disseminated all day long so that the incentives were to get out information right away. It was no longer possible to wait, as in the heyday of network news, or someone else would beat you to the story.
The Internet only accelerated this news cycle. The publication of news grew faster and faster. At the same time, the Internet allowed anyone, regardless of their credentials, to publish information that was instantly visible internationally. With the increasing sophistication of hyperlinks and social-media sites, stories put out by the most unknown writer can quickly circulate through the blogosphere and be picked up by mainstream news organizations.
While there is more news today, studies have shown that the press has reduced the actual time and space allotted to politicians in favor of sound bites.
This environment creates a dangerous atmosphere and fuels feeding frenzies. Politicians, or even military officials, can be brought down within hours regardless of the accuracy of the information or the context in which particular statements were delivered. The blogger David Weigel learned of the dangers of this medium when leaked private conversations from a listserv were published by conservative websites and resulted in his resignation from The Washington Post (although MSNBC's "Countdown" soon hired him as a contributor).
To be sure, there are many virtues to the new media. More voices can be heard as there are fewer gatekeepers in control of the media, many of whom were influenced by biases of their own. In its quest for neutral objectivity, the old press was often used by the politicians such as when Sen. Joseph McCarthy constantly made accusations about alleged communist spies, knowing that reporters would publish his story -- as straight fact -- without analyzing and evaluating the claims.
But like the old media, the new media has many flaws. The new Democratic website reveals that the parties are now fully embracing the more dangerous aspects of the new technology rather than trying to contain them.
The growing use of these videos will severely damage the ways in which we choose and evaluate our politicians, pushing citizens to focus more on gaffes and gotcha moments than on the issues and policies that don't lend themselves to this format, but which are really the critical questions of our time.
The opinions expressed in this commentary are solely those of Julian E. Zelizer.

About Avon & Wildridge
Avon The Town of Avon used to be known for its prime location at the base of Beaver Creek Ski Resort, but Avon has come into its own in recent years thanks to thoughtful redevelopment projects, new restaurants and businesses, top-notch events and endless outdoor recreation. One of Avon's town jewels is Nottingham Lake, where you'll find everything from standup paddleboarding to concerts to family-friendly festivals. Free buses shuttle visitors and residents around town or up to the ski resort, and a transit center also provides quick and easy access to Vail. The Town has made many improvements in recent years to its pedestrian connections, making the town much more walkable overall. Avon has become an extension of the resorts, offering mountain living without any sacrifices. Wal-Mart, City Market and The Home Depot anchor the town's retail business mix, which also offers a variety of unique local retail businesses and some of the valley's top restaurants. The Westin Riverfront also offers gondola access from town to Beaver Creek Resort. The Town's 40,000-square-foot recreation center features an indoor waterslide, a 5-lane lap pool, and a state-of-the-art fitness facility. Just outside its doors, Nottingham Park Pavilion plays host to concerts and events, including the annual Fourth of July festivities which include one of the most impressive fireworks shows in the state. The real estate in Avon features a combination of townhomes, condominiums and single-family homes. Second-home owners have taken a particular liking to the Westin Riverfront, Basecamp, The Ascent and Brookside. Wildridge Perched high above the valley with views of Beaver Creek, Game Creek Bowl and Edwards, Wildridge is a community with a unique identity in the valley. Just a few minutes up the hill from Avon, Wildridge is a mix of condominium complexes, townhomes, duplexes and single-family homes. Lot sizes here are comparatively larger than what's available in most neighborhoods throughout the Vail Valley, and the expansive views add to one of Wildridge's greatest amenities — being surrounded by open space. Hiking and biking trails are fun for all ability levels, and the community's dedicated bike lanes — especially the uphill climbing lanes from Avon — add to the community's bike friendliness. Two playgrounds and a popular dog park make families with children and/or dogs feel especially welcome here. The extensive trail systems in sunny Wildridge also bring together an eclectic mix of local residents looking to get their lungs pumping outside or just to socialize with neighbors. Many residents enjoy an evening stroll around the neighborhood's trails, where friendships are formed and neighbors get to know each other. With no noise from I-70, a quality trail system and expansive views, life in Wildridge is mountaintop living at its finest.

The CCRI Lady Knights' soccer team hosted the Pride of Springfield JV for a game on Thursday at the CCRI Soccer complex in Lincoln. The Lady Knights tied the Pride a 2-2 in double overtime. With the tie the Lady Knights' record is now 1-4-1 on the season.
The Lady Knights and Pride always have extremely close games and this game would be no different. Just four minutes into the game Springfield JV would get on the scoreboard first as Taylor Bigwood was able to get free of the CCRI defender to loft a high arcing shot over Lady Knights' Tri-Captain goalkeeper Alex Place (East Greenwich, RI) to take a 1-0 lead with 40:35 remaining in the half. CCRI battled back to try and get an equalizer and at around the 28-minute mark had an opportunity from Tri-Captain Betti Worth (Manchester, England) who fired a shot from just inside the 18 yard box but it hit the crossbar and deflected away from the net. The Lady Knights kept the pressure on Springfield but another defensive lapse got Springfield forward Kelsey Martin open on a counter break and she was able to tally another score for the Pride and give them a 2-0 lead with 8:54 remaining in the half. CCRI kept battling to try and cut into the Springfield lead but their efforts were unrewarded as they went into halftime trailing the Pride 2-0.
Though the Lady Knights trailed they could feel that something had to go there way soon as they continued to pressure the Pride with attack after attack. Finally, with just 10:37 left in the half Tri-Captain Paige Oram (Burrillville, RI) sent the ball into the six yard box where Missy Richards (Coventry, RI) was able to gather the ball and get a shot of beating the Pride goalie and cut the Springfield Lead in half 2-1. Just 37 seconds later Jess Hammond (Warwick, RI) launched a missile from the deep right wing outside the 18 yard box that sailed perfectly into the high left corner on the net bringing the Knights' fans to their feet as they dramatically tied the game 2-2 with just 10 minutes remaining. All of the momentum was on CCRI' side as they tried to get the game-winner to end the game during the final 10 minutes. The Lady Knights had some chances but could not convert sending the game into overtime.
The Lady Knights dominated the play for a good portion of both 10 minute overtime periods and had multiple corner kicks and opportunities but could not convert those opportunities into goals. Every time they got off a shot, it seemed to be right at the keeper or just missed the net. But the effort and energy was there for the entire game for the Lady Knights as they battled back from a two goal deficit to tie the game which is a very good sign for the team that more success is on the horizon.
The Lady Knights will look to take the momentum from this match into their next match in regional foe Bunker Hill Community College for their game at CCRI Saturday September 14th at 12noon at the CCRI Soccer Complex in Lincoln.
The Community College of Rhode Island, New England's largest comprehensive community college, enrolls nearly 18,000 students in credit courses and thousands more in non-credit and job training classes. Its athletic program boasts 12 varsity programs and an academic support program for all student-athletes.

May 22, 2014
By George E. Mauzy Jr.
Classified Senate will celebrate its 25th anniversary at 11 a.m. Tuesday, June 3, with a rededication of the Canada Red Cherry Tree in Emeriti Park that was planted in fall 2000 in honor of the organization's 10th anniversary.
The 25th anniversary plaque will be placed at the base of a Canada Red Cherry tree opposite the 10th anniversary plaque.
President Roderick J. McDavis and current Classified Senate Chair Bonnie Behm-Geddes will speak during the event, which will take place in the Grover Center Atrium due to possible inclement weather. Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. and lunch will be served until 2 p.m.
The tree dedication will be followed by a picnic. The Larry's Dawg House ice cream truck, Rufus the Bobcat and Homer, the mascot of the Southern Ohio Copperheads, will make an appearance. The event is open to non-bargaining classified employees from all six Ohio University campuses.
Former Classified Senate Chair Gail Houlette commented on the upcoming celebration.
"What a wonderful milestone, 25 years! For all those who have served and all who have been represented by Classified Senate, please take this opportunity to celebrate the positive impact your voices have had and will continue to have throughout the years," Houlette said. "It is also a time of reflection on where we have been, where we are and where we would like to be in the future."
Former Ohio University Chief Human Resources Officer Jim Kemper worked closely with Classified Senate during the first plaque dedication and tree planting in fall 2000. The ceremony was originally scheduled for fall 1999 before inclement weather caused a one-year delay.
Classified Senate represents more than 550 classified employees and has been at the forefront of important employee issues such as donated sick time, accrued vacation, domestic partner benefits and holiday closure.
"I am proud to have served as a past chair of Classified Senate," said former Classified Senate Chair Wendy Kaaz. "The senate has been able to accomplish so much over the past 25 years. The support they give and receive is phenomenal."
Senate supports five $1,000 undergraduate scholarships each year. In 1993, Senate decided to sell cotton coverlets with the goal of endowing one undergraduate scholarship. Within a few months, Senate had sold more than 2,300 coverlets and eventually raised more than $60,000. That is when Senate decided to endow four student scholarships instead of one and in October 1996, it awarded for the first time the Ohio University Employee Scholarship, Regional Campus Scholarship, Academic Scholarship and the Non-Traditional Scholarship. By 2005, Senate had raised enough money to award a fifth scholarship, the Multicultural Scholarship for Appalachian Students.
Senate still raises money by selling merchandise such as its historic cotton coverlet, stuffed Bobcat kitten wearing a paw logo on its T-shirt, and hand-painted pewter Bobcat pin. Senate sells most of its merchandise during Homecoming, Moms Weekend and Commencement.
"Hard work and dedication to the cause at hand comes to mind when I think of Classified Senate," said former Classified Senate Chair Tammy Jordan. "What an honor it was to be a part of the first 25 years. I learned so much, made some life-long friends and I will never forget this invaluable experience."

Classified Senate History:
Classified Senate has overcome some major obstacles in its 25 years. In 1987, a unsuccessful proposal was submitted to the university by a small group of classified staff members regarding the creation of a representative group for classified employees. At the time, classified employees were the only employee group without representation.
In early 1989, after an unsuccessful unionization effort aided by the United Auto Workers of America, the idea of creating classified employee representation was picked up again by another small group of classified staff members. They gave their initial proposal to Vice President for Administration Carol Harter and after several meetings a formal proposal was presented and approved by Harter and President Charles Ping.
The first meeting of the new Academic Staff Support Council was held on July 19, 1989, where it changed its name to the Classified Staff Advisory Council (CSAC). In 1998, CSAC reorganized its structure to allow the Council to become a senate like the other university organizations that were representing employees. The organization later changed its name to Classified Senate to better reflect its purpose.


text: This volume, the third in the official history of the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC), explores the evolution of nuclear technology and the activities of the AEC during President Eisenhower's administration. Using many primary sources, the book deals with the major events and issues at the AEC at the time, such as the revocation of Robert Oppenheimer's security clearance and efforts to develop atomic energy. The authors not only discuss the AEC, but also Eisenhower and his controversial Cold War policies. They argue that he sought to reduce the danger of nuclear war, and they generally agree with those scholars who portray him as a strong and influential president. The book contains extensive footnotes with many references, a useful essay on sources, and informative appendices containing basic and comprehensible technical and administrative information concerning the actions taken by the president and the AEC throughout the period.

A Season Gone Bad
As Paul Konerko said after last night's sixth straight Sox loss–and a four-game sweep at the hands of the red-hot Yankees–"It is what it is."
What it is, Sox fans, is the worst case scenario in a season that started out with great hope. But the potentially potent offense never manifested and the pitching that has been the reason we've hung in as contenders so long is now slumping. And after a 3-7 homestand, which actually began with a series win over the Tigers and a series opening victory over the Red Sox, we now face the Twins, a team we can't beat to save our lives.
Six straight defeats, six games under .500 and six and a half games behind the division lead. 6-6-6, isn't that a widely recognized symbol for the devil?

NAMEMoose::Cookbook::Legacy::Table_ClassMetaclass - Adding a "table" attribute to the metaclass
VERSIONversion 2.2011
package MyApp::Meta::Class; use Moose; extends 'Moose::Meta::Class'; has table => ( is => 'rw', isa => 'Str', );
DESCRIPTIONWARNING: Subclassing metaclasses (as opposed to providing metaclass traits) is strongly discouraged. This recipe is provided solely for reference when encountering older code that does this. In this recipe, we'll create a new metaclass which has a "table" attribute. This metaclass is for classes associated with a DBMS table, as one might do for an ORM. In this example, the table name is just a string, but in a real ORM the table might be an object describing the table.
THE METACLASSThis really is as simple as the recipe "SYNOPSIS" shows. The trick is getting your classes to use this metaclass, and providing some sort of sugar for declaring the table. This is covered in Moose::Cookbook::Extending::Recipe2, which shows how to make a module like "Moose.pm" itself, with sugar like "has_table()".
Using this Metaclass in PracticeAccessing this new "table" attribute is quite simple. Given a class named "MyApp::User", we could simply write the following:
my $table = MyApp::User->meta->table;As long as "MyApp::User" has arranged to use "MyApp::Meta::Class" as its metaclass, this method call just works. If we want to be more careful, we can check the metaclass's class:
$table = MyApp::User->meta->table if MyApp::User->meta->isa('MyApp::Meta::Class');
CONCLUSIONCreating custom metaclass is trivial. Using it is a little harder, and is covered in other recipes. We will also talk about applying traits to a class metaclass, which is a more flexible and cooperative implementation.

"It's supposed to be a professional secret, but I'll tell you anyway. We doctors do nothing. We only help and encourage the doctor within."
This current climate is a far cry from the amount of public interest and
media coverage of depression just four years ago in 1994 when we produced a
conference called "Healing Depression" in Santa Monica, California that
inspired this book. At that time, depression was still a taboo subject
socially, a frightening and mysterious condition that was treated medically
with powerful psychotropic antidepressants which had disturbing side
effects. The controversial antidepressant drug, Prozac, had been on the
market for several years and was just penetrating the public consciousness
and beginning to make headlines. There was little or no interest in, nor
knowledge of natural alternatives to treating depression.
Today, thanks to the barrage of media stories and a number of well known
public figures who have disclosed their battles with depression, including
television journalist Mike Wallace, actor Rod Steiger and novelist William
Styron, much of the social stigma surrounding depression has been removed.
Discussion of depression in our culture has become more commonplace, and
it can now be mentioned in the same breath as being "anxious" or "stressed
out." Concurrently, there is an increasing public interest in natural
approaches to dealing with this health condition. Even conventional medical
doctors who have historically been known to only prescribe antidepressants,
are now responding to the public demand and are beginning to recommend
natural remedies like St. John's wort for mild to moderate depression.
A National Health Problem
One in four Americans will experience some degree of clinical depression or
mood disorder during their lifetime, and each year over twenty- five
million people will be diagnosed with a depressive illness. Two-thirds of
those suffering from depression are women. However, the recent focus upon a
"silent epidemic" of depression among men indicates that these figures are
in need of adjustment.1
All told, it is estimated that depression will cost our economy more than
forty-four billion dollars, and an annual loss of two hundred million work
hours. These numbers may be deceiving, however, given people's reticence in
the past to talk to their physician about depression. Today over 17 million
people, including teens and children, are currently on Prozac, the second
most commonly prescribed drug in America. Pharmaceutical giant Eli Lilly,
the maker of Prozac, is now engaged in a major media campaign to raise
public awareness about depression and Prozac. With the rising tide of
awareness of depression, many who would have never considered themselves
depressed will be taking Prozac, or some other antidote, pushing the
statistics even higher.
And it appears we are bringing our children along for the ride. It is
estimated that close to 13% of teenagers and approximately 3% of children
under thirteen suffer from depression according to the Center for Mental
Health Services. Until recently, no one has wanted to recognize that teens
and children suffer from depression. To make matters more difficult,
childhood depression is hard to identify and diagnose because it is so
easily confused with other health conditions, and because children lack the
verbal skills to explain what they are experiencing. As a result they act
out their depression in the only way they know how--what we commonly
describe as moodiness irritability, anger and even rage.
Are we becoming a "Prozac nation?" Prozac, despite its ability to transform
personality, appears to be a short-term solution to a long-term problem.
FDA statistics reveal unsettling reports of adverse side-effects ranging
from loss of sexual appetite to suicide and death. These serious
shortcomings, the rising incidence of depression, and the growing
popularity of natural health care, clearly demonstrates the need for safe
and reliable drug-free treatments. It is no surprise then that the
antidepressant herb St. John's wort, despite having been successfully used
for centuries, was barely on the radar screen in the United States four
years ago, but is now the number four-selling herb in the U.S. and is
outselling Prozac in Germany.
Where Does the Answer Lie?
We have spoken with an endless succession of people whose psychiatrist or
psychologist reflexively prescribed antidepressant medication for their
depression as the only available option. Modern medicine, with its focus on
treating disease with a single "standard of practice" has created a serious
situation for those being treated for depression in the class of
psychotropic antidepressant drugs. Many complain they have been on a
treatment merry-go-round for years, going from one antidepressant to
another, and are still seeking help. They report that they have had some
relief but at the cost of unpleasant and grave side-effects. Others,
however, have received virtually little or no relief, or have actually
gotten worse, and are becoming increasingly desperate.
Two things are clear. The human suffering resulting from depression is real
and impacts every aspect of one's life--family, work, and relationships.
Secondly, depression is not an illness that can be reduced to a single
cause or a single cure, as demonstrated by the problems associated with the
succession of antidepressant drugs produced over the years. There are no
magic bullets for depression.
Where then does the answer lie to relieving the toll of human suffering
brought on by depression? We have discovered that there are many answers to
solving this complex malady. The key is in understanding the many
underlying causes of depression, and becoming aware of the variety of
natural approaches to its treatment.
Many of the solutions come from the world's great systems of traditional
health care. Some have ancient roots such as herbal medicine, the oldest
form of health care on the planet, and the Greek medicine of Hippocrates.
Chinese medicine and Ayurveda, both of which have both been practiced
continuously for five thousand years, can rightly be called the original
systems of holistic medicine.
Other systems of traditional health care have more modern origins, such as
homeopathy and naturopathic medicine, each of which originated in early- to
mid-19th century Germany before taking root in the U.S. After having fallen
into obscurity for most of the 20th century due to the advent of miracle
drugs, both are now enjoying a major renaissance.
What all of these systems of traditional health care have in common is a
focus on health maintenance, prevention, treating the whole person,
reliance on natural therapies, and taking a more integrative,
multi-disciplinary approach to treatment in order to restore health and
internal balance. These systems also share another commonality--for most of
this century, each has remained outside the accepted standards of
conventional Western medicine, but are now becoming increasingly in demand
by people like yourself in search of solutions to their health problems.
In order to prevent illness and achieve optimum level of personal health,
it is important to be familiar with the tools that can help build a
wellness-based lifestyle, and become aware of all of your treatment
options. The approaches in this book represent the collective wisdom of
thousands of years of the great healing traditions as well as the best of
the emerging field of integrative medicine--nutrition, healthy lifestyles,
mind/body therapies, and spiritual practices.
We have brought together a team of nine leading experts from each of these
fields to present, for the first time, a comprehensive and integrated
picture of depression, including an understanding of its many causes,
prevention and time-tested natural approaches to its treatment. This team
of health professionals will provide an in-depth understanding of the
following primary systems of natural medicine:

I donated one of my motorcycles to the National Association to Protect Children and bidding is happening now!!
This 2012 Suzuki LS650 Savage is being auctioned off to benefit the National Association to Protect Children, a national membership organization that develops programs that protect children from physical, sexual, and emotional abuse. Their latest program, the H.E.R.O. Child-Rescue Corps, trains military heroes to utilize technology to identify and rescue child victims of rape and exploitation. Read more about it here.
it's a star-studded motorcycle
When comedian and actress Margaret Cho decided she needed to get rid of one of her motorcycles, she did it in the way that earned her the title "Patron Saint of Outsiders": she donated it to the National Association to Protect Children.
The donation was "brokered" by another comedian/actress, Alison Arngrim, who earned the title "Prairie Bitch," but only because of her outstanding acting on "Little House on the Prairie." Alison has been on the Board of the National Association to Protect Children since the beginning, and is known as an outspoken advocate for both child protection and also HIV/AIDS awareness and treatment.
Alison said, "Hey, let's sign the bike." And so she did. And then got her friends involved.

When in Queenstown jetboat the Shotover
Discovering there is a difference between jet boats. When in Queenstown, do the best - Shotover jet
1 / 3
Last May I was on holiday in Queenstown for two days. It was during this trip that I discovered there really is a difference between jet boat trips. I say this because I have been on many jet boats and they are fast, slide sideways and spin around a bit. Generally accompanied by splashing and allow you to get up rivers much faster than you can walk.
But for all my time spent in Queenstown I have never been on the Shotover Jet . In many ways because I was of the opinion that having been on another I have been on them all. Boy was I wrong! So when my friend Tāne twisted my arm to go I finally said yes more in order to keep him happy than for myself. I'm glad I did.
Ok, so to put this in perspective Shotover Jet boats are red, and I like red. They are the only company allowed to operate in the canyons just ten minutes out of Queenstown so if you want to trip through these tall gorges there is only one way to go. But otherwise aren't they still a jet boat?
Five minutes into the trip and you find out how different they are. To borrow a phrase I recently saw used. When comparing a Shotover Jet boat to any other can be like comparing an acrobatic Pitts to a commercial airliner. There is no comparison.
Is it a rollercoaster?, yes its similar. Drift racing?, that's certainly how the boats skim across the water with little to spare between them and the rock walls. And spin, most definitely and these boats go well beyond the 360 degrees that's held up as the pinnacle of the industry!
I sat, firmly gripping the rail as we did first a 360 – lots of audible comments from the passengers. And then again and ended up going back the way we had come? Hold on, that was a 540 degree spin in my math's class. In various forms our driver Nick kicked us around until we had lost track of time. As we pulled into the jetty the little girl sitting beside me was already working on her mother to go again.
The drivers love their job, in and out with a very powerful boat every 30 minutes or so all day, you'd have to. But who cares about them! I've discovered that there is a difference between jet boats and its amazing. My advice – when in Queenstown do the best, forget the rest.
