Immigration talks gain momentum
With the Senate moving full-steam ahead on a comprehensive immigration bill, House Republicans are finding their way on their own strategy meant to position Washington for reform in the 113th Congress.
The House GOP leadership kicked off its efforts in earnest on Tuesday when House Judiciary Committee Chairman Bob Goodlatte of Virginia and South Carolina Rep. Trey Gowdy— a former prosecutor — began briefing their colleagues on the basics of U.S. immigration policy in Majority Whip Kevin McCarthy's office.
Story Continued Below
But behind the scenes, a parallel process is playing out. A cluster of previously unknown GOP working groups — which are working with Wisconsin Rep. Paul Ryan — are reviewing immigration issues ranging from agricultural to high-tech visas, to border security and dealing with illegal immigrants already in the country. These proposals will supplement the main House bipartisan talks on immigration, which are being led by Rep. Mario Diaz-Balart, a Cuban-American Republican from Florida. Ryan has also been in contact with the bipartisan group, according to sources.
There have also been private conversations in leadership circles about what has gone wrong in the past. Republicans are examining why George W. Bush's push for immigration reform failed. So far, they have concluded that the former president's 2007 bill was perceived as amnesty, the amendment process caused controversy and the border was seen as insecure. Also, Republicans have this time talked upfront about potential roadblocks to immigration legislation — such as the expected desire to offset the cost of beefed-up border security, according to several sources.
All this behind-the-scenes activity shows a new intensity around immigration in the House and could be a harbinger for reform.
House Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) had been noncommittal on how he wanted to handle immigration, saying the committees of jurisdiction would work through it and he would act if the Senate produced a bill — and top GOP aides are skeptical the Senate will produce anything. Sources caution that any approach must include whatever comes out of the bipartisan House talks.
"I've made it clear on immigration, we need to continue to work in a bipartisan fashion like we have been to deal with this very complex issue," Boehner said at his news conference Tuesday.
The House strategy stands in sharp contrast to the Senate's moves. Top lawmakers and aides in Boehner's chamber describe a process that would have the House pass a number of small-bore immigration bills with broad support. Those bills would lead to a formal conference negotiation with the Senate, when it passes its comprehensive bill that is expected to be unveiled sometime in early April.
The final product would then be bipartisan and could ease passage through both chambers, according to this thinking.
"More likely that we deal with one bill at a time, more likely that the Senate slams them all together," said Oklahoma Rep. James Lankford, chairman of the Republican Policy Committee, who is involved with immigration strategy. "They do so few bills over there, they're going to do one big giant, we may do a few small [bills] and see what we work on in conference together."

Keep an eye on your budget. Book your flight + hotel together and save money on your Austin holiday.
Think of Austin and I'm sure its iconic annual festival springs to mind – not surprising if you're planning a visit to the 'live music capital of the world'. But this diverse scene is only the tip of the iceberg.
The downtown skyline may represent the cities growing music, film and technology industries. But in many ways, Austin still retains a small-town vibe, with the 351-acre Zilker Park as a spectacular back garden. The city's evolving culture has brought with it ballet, museums and innovative dining. But you don't have to look far to find shops selling traditional Texan cowboy boots, a 1930's style bathhouse and historic buildings that are more representative of times past. Don't overlook the hidden treasures. On a hot summers day you may find yourself drawn to the naturally chilled Barton Springs for a refreshing dip. Or Lady Bird Lake, where you can paddleboard or kayak as you admire the spectacular surrounds.

It's somehow fitting that his new wedding-themed romantic comedy is titled Made of Honor, because during a heated argument on the set of ABC's hit series Grey's Anatomy in 2006, Golden Globe–nominated star Patrick Dempsey reportedly defended his gay costar T.R. Knight when Isaiah Washington called Knight a "faggot." That scuffle, which won Dempsey the hearts of gay men everywhere, was an off-limits topic for our interview, but the McDreamy 42-year-old Versace model did say "I do" when I popped the questions about his feminine side and why — at least when it comes to People's Sexiest Man Alive — he's always a bridesmaid, never a bride.
By Brandon Voss
The Advocate: Tweaking the plot of My Best Friend's Wedding, your character in Made of Honor acts
as his best girlfriend's Maid of Honor so that he can sabotage her wedding. Has
it always been your dream to play the "Julia Roberts" roles?
Patrick Dempsey: They're a lot of fun to do. Growing up, I never had the chance to go to the movies much, so everything that I would see was probably on PBS. They would do classic comedies — a lot of Cary Grant, Errol Flynn stuff — and all the slapstick really appealed to me. We really wanted to pull from that.
Do you have a Rupert Everett-like gay best friend?
[Laughs] He's not like Rupert Everett, but yeah, I definitely do. He's a good guy, but it took him a long time to really get out of the closet. Everyone around him knew, and then when he finally came to terms with it and said, "Yeah, I'm gay," we were like, "Finally! Good for you." You could see the release in him where he wasn't having to pretend anymore and was becoming his own person.
We're not talking about T.R., are we?
No, no, no. It's somebody else.
Um, OK. In Made of Honor's opening flashback scenes, you
eerily look 10 years younger.
Well, the great thing about technology now is that they can go in and take the lines away with computers, which was comforting. [Laughs] It was kind of scary, too, because I was like, Oh God, I don't want to go back to that time in my life when I looked so young. I'm very happy to be the age that I am, so to go back and see those scenes was a little unsettling.
Your character often gets mistaken for gay, which also
happens to your character in 1989's Loverboy. Has
that happened to you in real life?
Sometimes now, yeah. I try not to read the blogs, but it seems everybody's convinced I'm gay — especially since Versace. But the great thing with sexuality and being gay is that there's really no stereotype anymore.
Meanwhile, you're a cyclist, you race cars, and as seen in Made
of Honor, you're good at basketball. We get it, Patrick — you're
butch. What are some of your more feminine hobbies or qualities?
[Laughs] That's a good question. I haven't really thought about it. Oh, man, I cry at the drop of a hat. Everything makes me very emotional. I try not to be a metrosexual or get too caught up in grooming, but in my house, with my wife and everything, there's always stuff going on with products and things like that — not that that's feminine; that's just sort of modern society.
How can you avoid grooming when you're so known for your
I know, but I hate dealing with my hair. I just like to put on a hat to go outside.
At 17, you dropped out of high school to play David in a San
Francisco production of Torch Song Trilogy. Did
you or your parents have concerns about your taking a gay part so early in your
No, not at all. Doing theater, the gay community was always incredibly kind to me — never aggressive or predatory, always supportive and nurturing. That was the great thing about being a part of that show. Especially being so young, there was a lot of concern only because I was out there on my own and I'd never been in the big city before, but everybody looked after me.
Growing up in Maine, were you teased because of your interest
in the arts?
Oh, yeah, I got a lot of teasing early on — a lot of comments and abuse — because I was performing in a vaudeville troupe. In a small town, people can be aggressive that way just because they don't understand and they're threatened by someone doing their own thing. It actually taught me a lot and helped me in the long run, because then I stopped worrying about what people thought of me.
Have you been aware of your gay following since your breakout
success in 1987's Can't Buy Me Love?
Yeah, there was some stuff that [celebrity photographer] Greg Gorman and I shot that sort of opened things up, and everybody was telling me about that. It's good fun. It's flattering.
Did you or your agents have any hesitations before accepting
a three-episode arc as Will's sportscaster boyfriend on Will & Grace, your
first major foray into TV?
No. When I sat down and talked with the show's creators, they were like, "Here's what we want to try to do," and I was like, "Yeah, I'm in for that." It was fun. I loved that character, and certainly that role and being on that show helped turn things around for me profoundly.
Opposite another straight actor, Eric McCormack, was it
challenging to make a gay romance appear believable?
No, because you just play a relationship — two people attracted to each other. You just trust that and don't worry about it. The situation reveals that you're gay; you don't have to play gay to be gay.
As a Versace model, not to mention all the shirtless scenes
you have in Made of Honor, do you feel pressure to
constantly hit the gym?
Yeah, I work out, but I'm not fanatical about it. I'm not the kind of guy who can be completely cut-up; I just want to stay in shape and be healthy and lean. But there's always the pressure of having the perfect male body. At the same time, I've got way too much going on to worry about it. You just have to go, "Here's my body," and hope people like it.
On People magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive"
list, you came in second to Matt Damon in 2007, George Clooney in 2006, and
Matthew McConaughey in 2005. How's it feel to be that close to the title for
three years?
At least I'm consistently in the top two. And I've been there longer than the other guys, so that's fine.
You've got to be in it to win it!
Yeah, that's true. Maybe I need to work out more.
Which male celebrity do you find sexy?
Johnny Depp, certainly, without question. There's just something about his individuality, his humility, and his sense of style. He's also immensely talented and intelligent, and that's all very sexy.
You recently signed with Avon to be a spokesmodel for a new
cologne. If a fragrance should reflect the qualities of its celebrity endorser,
describe that scent.
Hopefully it's just honest and comforting. You want a smell that feels good, feels clean, and doesn't feel overwhelming. I want something that's subtle and fresh, modern but classic at the same time, and that's what we've been working toward.
What's the oddest thing you've done with your character's
action figure from Disney's Enchanted?
It's not so much what I have done but what my friends have done with the doll — and then sent pictures of to my cell phone. They've put the doll in various sexual positions with other dolls — with Barbie and Ken.

SANTA CLARA, Calif. - The Bronco Men's and Women's Tennis Teams hosted a free tennis clinic for kids this past Saturday at the Santa Clara University Tennis Center.
The clinic taught the basics of tennis through a variety of tennis games and contests. The clinic also included a tour of Santa Clara athletic facilities, a chance to get to know Bronco tennis players and a surprise visit from Bucky the Bronco.
For Bronco Kid Samantha Gisi, the clinic provided a first introduction to tennis. Gisi, age 10, gave her overall experience an enthusiastic review. Her favorite part of the clinic was when they played games, and she especially liked Santa Clara Women's Tennis player Pati Ruiz, who she noted was nice and a good teacher.
Bronco Kid Nicole Klug, age 9, really hopes that there are more tennis clinics like this in the future. "I would definitely do it again, even if it meant that I had to miss volleyball. They explained things in a really good way through games."
The clinic was the product of a class project for Professor Doug Sweet's Writing for Business class. The group consisted of Tamra Bidegary, Lindsay Back, Meghan Freeman and Women's Tennis Senior Christine Limbers. The group was tasked with creating promotional material for the clinic, developing content for the clinic, as well as soliciting sponsors to provide the food and prizes for the Kids.

The research will examine the following Specific Aims:
Specific Aim 1: To adapt a U.S.-developed family-focused and strengths-based prevention program to the context of HIV/AIDS-affected families in Rwanda (the Family-Strengthening Intervention in Rwanda or "FSI-R") using prior qualitative findings and CAB input.
Specific Aim 2: To deliver the intervention to a small group of families to collect preliminary data on intervention feasibility, acceptability, and to further refine the intervention manual for the FSI-R.
Specific Aim 3: To conduct a pilot feasibility study of the FSI-R with 80 families.
In pursuit of Specific Aim 3, this research will (a) conduct a preliminary exploratory analysis to examine the extent to which the FSI-R for HIV/AIDS-affected families is associated with improved caregiver-child relationships using measures of family connectedness, good parenting, and social support. Hypothesis 1: Participants in the FSI-R will demonstrate increases in protective processes compared to usual care controls not exposed to the FSI-R. It will also (b) conduct a preliminary exploratory analysis to determine the extent to which improved caregiver-child relationships are sustained four months after the conclusion of the FSI-R. Hypothesis 2: Four months after the conclusion of the intervention, participants in the FSI-R will demonstrate increases in protective processes compared to usual care controls not exposed to the FSI-R.

Experimental: FSI-R (Intervention group)
The intervention group will participate in the mental health assessments and FSI-R, and will participate in post-intervention assessments and follow-up assessments.
Behavioral: Family Strengthening Intervention in Rwanda (FSI-R)
Core components of the FSI-R are derived from the FBPI theoretical framework, and were chosen to address key risk factors identified in qualitative data. The FSI-R holds separate preliminary meetings with caregivers and children to prepare for a larger family meeting. In these modules, the interventionist helps caregivers and children prioritize concerns or key messages that they most want to share with the other party. Role play and discussions are used to impart improved parenting and communication skills. In the family meetings, children and caregivers share their concerns with one another and develop a shared family narrative, which integrates past events into a singular story with shared goals and a future orientation. These family modules also discuss the services and supports (formal and non-formal resources) that the family can engage with in order to achieve their shared goals.
8-12 weeks for 1-2 hours per week, depending on each family's pace and coverage of the material.
No Intervention: TAU (Treatment as Usual)
The TAU control group will not receive any intervention, but will participate in treatment as usual as provided by Partners In Health. They will complete assessments at all three time points.
- Change from Baseline in Mental Health of Children and Caregivers [ Time Frame: Administered to caregivers and school-aged children in each cohort three times: once within 15 days prior to the start of the intervention, once within 15 days of intervention completion, and again 4 months following intervention completion. ]The Mental Health Assessment Batteries for Children and Caregivers are comprehensive surveys addressing a range of locally-relevant mental health problems and protective processes, as well as issues like functioning, stigma, hope, harsh parenting, parent-child relationships, and other risk and protective factors. The mental health components of the assessments have been subject to a validation study in this community. They were developed using qualitative data gathered from this population in 2007 and 2009.

Inclusion criteria: All participants must be HIV/AIDS-affected (i.e., having an HIV+ family member, including those who have died). We will select single and dual caregiver families to reflect population dynamics in the area. Caregivers must be at least 18 years of age (the age of majority in Rwanda), must live in the same household as the children, and must be the child's legal guardian. Legal guardians may be aunts, uncles, grandparents, or foster parents. Caregivers must be willing to discuss HIV/AIDS with school-aged children in the family.
Exclusion Criteria: Potential participants will be excluded if they do not live in the Rwinkwavu catchment area. Untreated mental illness or active suicidal ideation/attempts in the family also constitutes exclusion criteria (mental health treatment for these problems may occur in conjunction with the FSI). HIV-positive children are ineligible for the study if their HIV status has not been disclosed to them. Exclusion criteria also include lack of caregiver willingness to discuss HIV/AIDS with school-aged children in the family. Youth-headed households will be excluded due to concerns about youth caregivers' capacity to participate in the FSI in addition to other caretaking duties.

Summit again to shut off the lights for Earth Hour
summit daily news
At 8:30 p.m. Saturday night, Summit County will go dark.
Or parts of it will, at least, as five local governments, several schools, one ski area and countless residents turn off the lights for 60 minutes in recognition of Earth Hour, a global initiative aiming to raise awareness of climate change.
"It's a symbolic gesture that we are aware of our footprint on the Earth," Breckenridge Mayor John Warner said. "It's an acknowledgement that we do make an impact and we'd like people to get behind a very small sacrifice."
Breckenridge, Frisco, Dillon, Silverthorne, the county government and Arapahoe Basin Ski Area will participate in Earth Hour this year, turning off all non-essential electronic devices from 8:30-9:30 p.m. Saturday.
The public and the business community are encouraged to do the same.
The event is a global initiative, but it got started in Summit County in 2009 with a 15-year-old student, who wasn't trying to make a global impact; rather, like many teenagers, he was trying to discover who he was and what he stood for.
Patrick Paden introduced Earth Hour to the Silverthorne Town Council as part of a project for the International Baccalaureate program at Summit High School. He could not have anticipated the enthusiasm with which his community would respond to his lights-out campaign.
"Little did I know that what I was about to start in Summit County would get the attention of the world," Paden wrote in a statement on the local project.
Silverthorne embraced the idea that first year, and within two years, every local government and every school in the county was on board. The schools actually turned the lights out for a full day prior to Earth Hour to raise awareness among students.
The Summit County Earth Hour project had a banner year in 2012. Arapahoe Basin signed on to the initiative, becoming the first ski area in the world to participate and the national Earth Hour organization began taking notice of the local effort.
Now a junior and environmental design major at the University of Colorado, Paden is trying to top last year's campaign with an event marking the occasion on Saturday at Arapahoe Basin. Local radio station Krystal 93 will host, and the event will include information tents and the first-ever Earth Hour Harlem Shake.
"I encourage all residences and business owners this year to power down and make a great night of the event," Paden stated in a release. "Break out some candles, play some board games, invite people over and simply have a great time with the lights off."
Last year, Earth Hour took place in more than 7,000 cities in 152 countries around the world.
Additional information about the project is available online at http://www.earthour.org.

A scandal engulfing the world's oldest bank has emerged as a potential game changer in Italy's national election, threatening to drag down the leading party in the polls and give a critical boost to Silvio Berlusconi's bid to regain office.
Monte dei Paschi di Siena was founded in 1472, 20 years before Columbus discovered America, but its centuries-old reputation has been severely tarnished by a still-unraveling scandal over derivatives deals worth hundreds of millions of euros and hidden by the bank until brought to light in recent days.
The derivative deals could cost the 540-year-old bank losses of up to €720 million ($970 million). What makes it so politically damaging is the bank's ties to the center-left Democratic Party.
The bank – located in Siena, a Tuscan city that for decades has been dominated by the Democratic Party – is owned in large part by a "foundation" run by local power brokers, including Democratic Party officials. As revelations about the bank's obfuscation of its losses have come out, so, too, have accusations that party representatives in the city – including a succession of mayors and members of the bank's board – should have had more oversight over Monte dei Paschi's financial deals.
Polls show the Democratic Party is currently leading the race toward the election of Feb. 24-25 with 34 percent of votes, compared to the 27 percent attributed to Mr. Berlusconi's center-right People of Freedom party.
Critics say the decades-old relationship between the bank and the center-left was far too cozy and led indirectly to the current scandal.
"Many aspects of the scandal remain obscure," said Tito Boeri, an economist at Bocconi University in Milan, in a front-page editorial in La Repubblica newspaper. "But one thing is certain. This affair was born of a system of power created by the intertwining of local politics and banking institutions."
Pier Luigi Bersani, the leader of the Democratic Party, has insisted that his party bears no responsibility for the banking mess.
But Mario Monti, the technocrat prime minister who is contesting the election as the head of a centrist coalition of small parties, dismissed those assurances and went on the attack.
"The Democratic Party is involved. It has always had a lot of influence on the bank and on Siena's political life," he said.
Political interference in the bank's affairs was "an ugly beast," he added.
A backlash against Monti?
Mr. Monti may be trying to make political capital out of the bank's woes, which have dominated the front pages of Italy's newspapers for a week, but the scandal is also affecting his electoral prospects.
While Monti is now criticizing the bank scandal, his government has agreed to come to the aid of the troubled bank with a €3.9 billion ($5.3 billion) bailout.
With the rescue now shown to be underwriting the bank's shady deals at a time when the government's tough austerity agenda has led to deep cuts in government spending, many Italians are furious with Monti, whom they see as an out-of-touch, privileged representative of high finance and big business.
The prime minister, who is wealthy in his own right, is a professor of economics and spent many years as a European Commissioner in Brussels.
Beppe Grillo, a former stand-up comedian who leads the maverick, antiestablishment Five Star Movement, which is also contesting next month's general election, said, "I don't see why we should give almost €4 billion in public money to cover up a bunch of thieves."
When Monti visited a region of central Italy on Sunday that was badly hit by a recent earthquake, he was met by protesters expressing their indignation that he had authorized such a huge sum to the bank when they were still waiting for help with rebuilding their shattered homes. "Money to the bank, yes, to the earthquake survivors, no!," read one large placard.
The buck-passing and exchanging of insults has intensified what is already a febrile political atmosphere.
Monti vs. Bersani
While the Democratic Party is still expected to win the national election, it will probably not have an outright majority, raising the likelihood that it will have to forge an alliance with Monti's centrists.
But the scandal in Siena has caused so much bad blood between the two political groups that that may be easier said than done, increasing the risk of an unstable, perhaps unworkable, new government.
Meanwhile, Berlusconi has managed to increase his party's voter support significantly since Christmas, and on Monday he was exultant about the bounce in the polls.
"Our figures confirm that we have managed a spectacular recovery – in less than a month, an increase of more than 10 percent," he told an Italian news agency. He promised that recovery would continue over the next month.
Shaken trust
The banking scandal has had a major impact on Siena, an ancient walled city that is invaded by throngs of foreign tourists each summer.
Monte dei Paschi is the city's biggest employer and has a charitable foundation that between 1995 and 2010 doled out around €2 billion to cultural associations, sports clubs, and other worthy causes.
So great was the bank's largess that it was known to Siena's 55,000 inhabitants as "Babbo Monte" or "Daddy Monte."
With the bank engulfed in the derivatives scandal, many Sienese now fear the end of an era, with much collective belt-tightening ahead.
The bank has already announced that it will have to cut the previously generous grants it gave to Siena's Serie A soccer team, its basketball squad, and the Palio, the famous horse race held twice each summer in which bareback riders hurtle around the city's main piazza.

Written by Elisa (EJ) Sobo
Every semester, I teach a college course exploring the interrelationships between human culture and biology. Feedback loops connecting culturally-patterned behavior and body chemistry, such as in the stress response, provide a handy example of our bioculturality. So, among other topics, I have a well-developed unit in my course (and related textbook) on stress. But lately, I've been wondering if I might counterbalance that unit's focus with something more positive, such as the relaxation response, or the benefits of positive touch.
While I have been thinking about touch as s topic for my students to investigate in theory, many in K-12 education have considered the practical applications of touch in the classroom. That is, they have been thinking about having students actually touch each other in controlled ways. Before I explain this, let me briefly review what scientists have discovered about pro-social touch.
Experts from James W. Prescott to Tiffany Field have long touted the benefits of positive touch for people living in a pro-touch cultural setting and those who receive it as part of a therapeutic regime, for instance in massage therapy. The benefits of positive touch include overall increases in pro-social behavior and immune system function and decreases in depression, pain, and the expression of violence and aggression. In anti-touch cultures, people have real trouble getting along peaceably. Infants who are touch deprived often fail to thrive and even can die. Scientists have begun to show that biochemicals associated with aggression and cooperation—and aggressive and cooperative behaviors themselves—go up or down in tandem with whether or not people are engaged in or exposed to pro-social touch.
The benefits of positive touch have been leveraged in recent attempts to introduce peer-to-peer massage routines into classroom settings. The A Child 2 Child project in the UK, led by Jean Barlow, claims positive results in which "good feelings help to keep students calm, positive, focused and motivated." Aware of the need for statistical proof of such claims, The Peer Massage Project, also in the UK, commissioned Gary Brown to undertake an outcomes evaluation; he documented improvements related to behavior, attitude, learning, calmness, and memory recall. The Massage in Schools Programme, founded by Mia Elmsater and Sylvie Hetu of Canada, has branches worldwide. As noted on their US division's Website, which has links to a number of study write-ups, outcomes research on school-based massage is just beginning. But front-line testimonials are overwhelmingly positive.
Late last year, I had the pleasure of meeting Thea Blair, a US-based peer massage proponent. Her set-to-song routines include a back and neck massage in which students sing or listen to a peaceful song about nature, and a hand massage based on a calmly amusing story that details a fisherman's workday. Only students who want to participate do so. Asking permission marks the beginning and giving thanks marks the end of each routine.
As innocuous as all this sounds, and despite the above-mentioned evidence, Ms. Blair has encountered some opposition. Resistance reflects widespread misunderstandings about touch and related anxieties that fuel, in some schools, 'no touch' ordinances. A key problem is that mainstream US culture positions touch as either inherently aggressive or intrinsically sexual—when of course there are many more dimensions to touch, including its nurturance and health-giving functions.
Although Ms. Blair designed her massage routines for a younger set, a group of students taking my biocultural course gave peer massages a try last semester during an extracurricular guest lecture that Ms. Blair gave to the class. As part of the presentation, Ms. Blair demonstrated some techniques on me, inviting students to find partners and follow along. Both she and I made it clear from the start that active participation—touching or being touched—was neither expected nor mandatory.
Despite this, exactly three-quarters of the class opted in for the first routine. By the end of the session, everyone was in on the act. Even the two students who missed class that day participated at a distance: some peers who attended treated them to massages and summarized Ms. Blair's talk for them spontaneously before our next class meeting. Later, students urged me to include a message routine as part of the final exam. Such enthusiasm for peer message in practice can be read as one measure of success.
Other measures include quantified self-reports on well-being. Before beginning, Ms. Blair asked students to self-rate their sense of well being on a scale of one to ten. Twice during the lesson she asked them to reevaluate. Twice, increases were noted. Students said they felt calmer. At one point, a student sitting on the sidelines observed that his own sense of well being improved along with the participating students'. "Why do you think that is?" Ms. Blair asked. The mood of the room now simply felt good to him; even as a non-participant, he'd sensed a change in other peoples' feelings and that, in turn, relaxed him.
Had we conducted a systematic evaluation or, better yet, a large scale, longitudinal, case-control study, including clinically and socially relevant measures, who knows what might have been documented. We could have measured changes in stress levels and interpersonal violence rates; we might have explored dose-response issues, sustainability, and so forth. We might have collected data that supported a hypothesis regarding the value of pro-social touch—or that disproved it.
In reality, the gold standard study on peer massage has not yet been done. Moreover, the class that I described was not K-12. Nonetheless, all indications strongly suggest that we would be wise to set aside our culturally driven fear of touch so that we might give peer massage a real chance to prove itself. School program options should be elected—or rejected—based on evidence, not emotion.

The HATS flask GC-MSD program measures three halogens. Below are links to data files and figures for halon-1301.
Atmospheric dry mole fractions (parts-per-trillion or ppt) of halon-1301 measured by GC-MSD in the HATS flask program. Each point represents a monthly mean at one of 8-12 stations: Alert, Canada (ALT), Summit Greenland (SUM), Barrow, Alaska (BRW), Mace Head, Ireland (MHD), Trinidad Head, California (THD), Niwot Ridge, Colorado (NWR), Cape Kumukahi, Hawaii (KUM), Manua Loa, Hawaii (MLO), American Samoa (SMO), Cape Grim, Australia (CGO), Palmer Station, Antarctica (PSA), South Pole, Antarctica (SPO).
Zonal mean dry mole fractions (ppt) are estimated by equally weighting monthly mean measurements in each latitude band. Small gaps (less than 6 months) are interpolated prior to averaging. Solid lines are used for Northern hemispheric measurements and dashed for the Southern hemisphere.

Feb. 24, 2008
PLEASANTON, Calif. - The Santa Clara men's tennis team defeated conference rival Gonzaga in a thrilling match, 4-3. Due to weather, the match was moved to Club Sport Pleasanton, where they played on indoor courts. Immediately an advantage was given to the Bulldogs because they regularly play indoors and several of the Broncos had never played on indoor courts. In an effort to be time effective, the singles matches were played first to see if a winner could be determined without playing doubles. Charlie Burke and Justin Wong who played in the singles No. 5 and No. 6 positions, respectively, were the first two matches to finish on the courts. Both lost, giving Gonzaga an immediate boost because they then knew they only needed to get two more singles wins to solidify the victory.
"When Charlie and Justin lost Gonzaga used that as momentum going into their other singles matches because they knew they were closer to winning," said Coach Derek Mills. "This put pressure on our other guys and they really stepped up to the challenge."
At the No. 3 singles spot Kenzo Hirakawa-Wong got the first Broncos point of the day, with a dominating win over Zach Radetzky, 6-3, 6-0. His win boosted Santa Clara's spirits, because they knew that they only needed one more singles win to even up the score. Jay Wong delivered and tied the score 2-2 with his win, 6-3, 6-2, over Stefan Fedderson at the No. 1 spot. Then Gonzaga took the lead at the No. 2 spot when the Bulldogs Roman Dojack defeated Steven Benvenuto 6-4, 6-4.
Going into the No. 4 singles match, Gonzaga needed the win to seal their victory over Santa Clara. Senthil Chidambaram was the Broncos last hope to even out the match and force them to play doubles. As the last singles match of the day, Chidambaram faced Gonzaga's Conor Feeney as both teams and the fans looked on. He started off the match with a 6-4 win in the first set, but fell 4-6 in the second set bring the match to a third set. Behind the cheers of the fans and his teammates, Chidambaram was able to pull out the victory, 6-2, to even up the final score and force doubles play.
"Senthil's win was huge for us," said Mills. "It was such an emotional rollercoaster because the guys had played so hard all day, and he was able to finish the match strong and get the win to keep us alive."
In doubles, once again Gonzaga got off to a good start with a win at the No. 3 spot, which meant they only needed on more win to beat the Broncos. Tying up the doubles points at the No. 1 spot was Benvenuto and Wong who defeated Feddersen and Radetzky, 8-6.
Once again the match was dependent on Chidambaram, and his doubles partner Hirakawa-Wong. Chidambaram and Hirakawa-Wong faced the Bulldogs Charles Adams and Dojack. After being down six match points they were able to come back and win their match, 9-7 in the tiebreaker. Before the win was official, Gonzaga thought they had won on their final serve and rushed the court; however the ball was called out of bounds and gave the Broncos the chance to come back and get the win.
"The match was emotional and everybody fought hard to stay in it," said Mills. "I am very proud of the guy's ability to adapt to the indoor courts and come back from being down. Gonzaga came into the match with an advantage being on indoor courts and momentum from winning their first two singles matches, but everyone was in it and focused, and we got the win. It was also great to get our first conference win."

Tricyclic antidepressants (TCAs) come in tablet form and
are usually taken in the evening. They are sometimes taken midafternoon and at
bedtime to help prevent accidental wetting that occurs early in the
The exact way that TCAs help reduce
bed-wetting is not known. They may affect the muscles
of the
bladder, or they may have some effect on the hormone
that causes the kidneys to release urine (antidiuretic hormone). They may work by causing the child to sleep more
TCAs may help decrease bed-wetting
for short periods of time for children 6 years and older. These medicines most
often are used with another form of treatment such as praise and encouragement
(motivational therapy).
Both desipramine and imipramine
have been shown to reduce the number of wet nights and help children have 14
dry nights in a row.1
Imipramine helps temporarily reduce the number of wet nights in less than half of the
children who take it. After they stop taking the medicine, most of those children will wet the bed again.2
All medicines have side effects. But many people don't feel the side effects, or they are able to deal with them. Ask your pharmacist about the side effects of each medicine your child takes. Side effects are also listed in the information that comes with the medicine.
Here are some important things to think about:
Call 911 or other emergency services right away if your child has:
Call the doctor right away if your child has:
Common side effects of this medicine include:
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has issued an advisory on antidepressant medicines and the risk of suicide. Talk to your doctor about these possible side effects and the warning signs of suicide.
See Drug Reference for a full list of side effects. (Drug
Reference is not available in all systems.)
Never have your child suddenly stop taking TCAs. The use of these medicines should be tapered off slowly and only under the supervision of a doctor. Abruptly stopping these medicines can cause negative side effects.
TCAs are not recommended for long-term treatment
of accidental wetting. Some children get worse the longer they take
TCAs. The reason for this is not known.
If a child takes a larger dose (accidental overdose), death
could occur. A child who has taken an overdose of a TCA may have:
Medicine is one of the many tools your doctor has to treat a health problem. If your child takes medicine as your doctor suggests, it will improve your child's health and may prevent future problems. If your child doesn't take the medicines properly, his or her health (and perhaps life) may be at risk.
There are many reasons why people have trouble taking their medicine. But in most cases, there is something you can do. For suggestions on how to work around common problems, see the topic Taking Medicines as Prescribed.
Follow-up care is a key part of your child's treatment and safety. Be sure to make and go to all appointments, and call your doctor if your child is having problems. It's also a good idea to know your child's test results and keep a list of the medicines your child takes.

A guide to enjoying Ireland despite having Food Allergies and/or Intolerances

LIDL - Dairy Free groceries for the Patient
If you're looking for cheap groceries then Lidl is a great place to shop. I find the vegetables are always good quality and don't go off overnight. Even the fruit is often better (taste-wise) than the fruit I get at markets and bigger name grocery stores... Other than that Lidl is an odd place because it is filled to the brim with a bizarre selection of unfamiliar products often packaged in unappealing bargain boxes.
BUT, don't let the budget appearance put you off. As food allergy shoppers we must leave no stone unturned! I've been doing a lot of browsing and label reading in Lidl and although there are not many Gluten Free foods there are a lot of Dairy Free bits and pieces to be found. Some seem completely free while others have 'may contain' warnings for the dairy free gamblers who live life on the wild side.
Lidl's highlights for me are:
- Goody Special Muesli Luxury Fruit & Nut which is truly top notch, Peanut Free and amazingly affordable for muesli!! (If memory serves me correctly €1.89?!)
- Dulano Beech Smoked Spicy Salami because before I stopped eating Pork cured meats were one of my FAVOURITE things but they're hard to get Dairy Free.
- BelBake Marble Sponge Cake which I forgot to get the ingredients for but definitely contains egg and has a may contain milk warning but if you are a gambler and like maderia cake then this is the cake for you! (Similar to the Belbake Double Chocolate Chip Sponge Cake)
The biggest put off for me are the number of outrageous, hard to pronounce ingredients in many of the ready-made foods such as the 'Sausage Rolls' and the 'Doner Kebabs'!
Also, some of the foods are scary and totally unnatural sounding/looking such as the 'Belbake Pancakes Mix'it' which comes in a bottle and the 'Harvest Basket Instant Mashed Potato with Nutmeg'... Call me old fashioned but mashed potato should not come in a box!
For all you coffee table browsers I've listed a few of my findings below in case you like to get your weekly shop done a bit faster and don't have all day to read food labels in the store!

I am known to buy their chorizo, mainly for gumbo, and I do like their goats cheese log, we had some great salads over the last few weeks, with goats cheese, roasted beetroot, apple, walnut, lambs lettuce and a lemon, honey and mustard dressing.
I can't really get into muesli, it's such hard work to chew, not able for it first thing in the morning when I'm still half asleep. I usually have porridge made with alpro original UHT soy milk, sweetened with raisins and half a mashed banana, mmmmh....
