Safer Skincare: This Time, It's Personal (and Your Beautycounter FAQ)
Why the safer skincare stuff I've been talking about lately" I figured it was time I give you a few answers to the questions you probably have.
See, I Was Skeptical About Beautycounter For a Long Time
I?ve seen people talking about Beautycounter for years and always remained a bit skeptical…and I am not afraid to admit that I made a lot of incorrect assumptions about the company along the way. I was wrong about them in a lot of ways, and I'm sad to say that I repeated a lot of this to people without really knowing the facts. For example…
For a long time, I thought it was only about makeup.
I don't wear it daily, mostly because I'm lazy. In general, most brands caused some kind of general skin irritation for me, whether that was itchiness or tightness. Because I don't get jazzed about cosmetics, I knew that making it an emphasis about it would feel, well, fake. Over time, however, I learned that Beautycounter was about way more than cosmetics…think safer skincare, sun protection, and hair care options. And I started getting more interested in what I can do (within reason) to reduce my exposure to potential toxins, endocrine disruptors, and who-knows-what in what I put on my body.
THAT is something I can get behind, especially as I work to manage my endometriosis. And that includes trying to limit my exposure to excess estrogens and other chemicals that may overburden my liver…hence the connection back to my nutritio...

The roof of the Memorial Auditorium of Concordia College in Minnesota will undergo a complete structural analysis because it was built to 1946 codes and may not be able to accommodate uneven snow loads. The roof came under scrutiny after basketball players noticed that the ceiling-mounted hoops had dipped below regulation height.
"Snow load calculations now take into consideration unbalanced loads, unequal distribution, the composition and weight of the snow," said Wayne Flack, facilities management director.

A hard-hitting play has successfully recreated the impact that the outbreak of World War One had on village communities.
Tideswell Community Players are performing The Accrington Pals at Tideswell's St John the Baptist Church between May 28 and 29 as we approach the 100th commemorative anniversary of the start for The Great War this August.
This powerful wartime drama, written by Peter Whelan, is a true life story about men who went away to fight and the impact this had on the close-knit villages they left behind.
Gerard Rodgers, of Tideswell Community players, said: "The tale is relevant to any community that sent its young men off to the war. It's sobering with tragedy, but also funny and moving."
Accrington became the smallest town in England to raise a Pals Volunteer Brigade for the war in France and as they faced the brutal reality of war, life would never be the same again for the women and mothers left behind.
The play started on May 28 and runs every evening until May, 30, with a 7.30pm start.
Tickets costing £8 and £6 are available from Tideswell Post Office and Litton Stores. Bookings can be made via email@example.com or by calling 01298 871063.

SEATTLE (AP) — Mike Zunino hit a game-ending single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Seattle Mariners to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.
Michael Saunders and Raul Ibanez led off the 10th with back-to-back walks before Blake Parker (0-1) was relieved by Shawn Camp. Jason Bay advanced both runners with a sacrifice bunt, and Justin Smoak was intentionally walked to load the bases with one out. Zunino then worked the count full before singling up the middle.
Yoervis Medina (3-2) pitched the 10th to earn the win. Oliver Perez struck out the side in the ninth, his 12 consecutive scoreless inning pitched.
Alfonso Soriano and Dioner Navarro homered for the Cubs, who ended a two-game winning streak.
Bay hit his ninth home run and Nick Franklin had two doubles among his three hits for the Mariners, who had lost two in a row.
Cubs starter Travis Wood left in position for his first win in five starts after allowing two runs on three hits and striking out six in 6 1-3 innings, but Chicago's bullpen failed, leaving Wood winless since May 30.
The Cubs had a 4-2 lead going into the eighth with James Russell on the mound. Franklin led off with a double and Kendrys Morales drove him home with a one-out double.
Ibanez followed with a run-scoring triple on a line drive that got past sliding left fielder Brian Bogusevic and rolled to the wall, tying the game at 4.
Mariners starter Hisashi Iwakuma pitched eight innings, with four runs and six hits allowed. He struck out five. It was the fourth time this season Iwakuma has completed eight innings, and all four times he has come away with a no decision.
The Cubs led 2-1 going into the seventh and added to their lead with a pair of home runs, both coming on the first pitch. Soriano led off with a drive just inside the left field foul pole, his eighth. With two outs Novarro also hit his eighth homer to right-center.
The Cubs took advantage of a throwing error by Franklin, Seattle's second baseman, in the second inning to take a 2-0 lead. Soriano led off the inning with a single, and with one out Ryan Sweeney hit a hard grounder down the first base line that got into the deep right field corner for a triple. Soriano scored and second baseman Franklin's relay throw home got past catcher Zunino, allowing Sweeney to score on the error and giving the Cubs a 2-0 lead.
The Mariners didn't get a hit until the fourth inning when Franklin led off with a double and didn't score until Bay homered to lead off the fifth. All nine of Bay's home runs this season have been solo shots.
Seattle scored again in the seventh. After Bay led off with a walk and Dustin Ackley was called out on strikes, Carlos Villanueva came on to replace Wood. Bay went to third on Zunino's bloop single, and Brad Miller — making his major league debut after being called up from Triple-A Tacome before the game — drove in Bay with a fielder's choice.
NOTES: Miller was the eighth player to make his MLB debut with Seattle this season. He was 0 for 3 with a walk, RBI and stolen base. ... Seattle optioned INF Carlos Triunfel to Tacoma and designated INF Alex Liddi for assignment. ... The Mariners started Dustin Ackley at CF for the first time. ... The Cubs have homered in a season-high eight straight games.
Zunino gives Mariners 5-4 win over Cubs with single in 10th
SEATTLE (AP) — Mike Zunino hit a game-ending single in the bottom of the 10th inning to lift the Seattle Mariners to a 5-4 win over the Chicago Cubs on Friday night.

Fla. woman shocked by $200,000 cell phone bill
MIAMI -- A South Florida woman got a shock when she opened a recent cell phone bill: she owed $201,000.
It was no mistake.
Celina Aarons has her two brothers on her plan. They are deaf and cannot speak, so the easiest way for them to communicate is by texting. Normally, that's not a problem. Aarons has a data plan that usually costs about $175.
But her brothers spent two weeks in Canada and Aarons never changed to an international plan. Her brothers sent over 2,000 texts and also downloaded videos, sometimes racking up $2,000 in data charges.
T-Mobile told Aarons the bill was correct. She called Miami TV station WSVN, which contacted T-Mobile. The station reports (http://bit.ly/qTMjTw ) that T-Mobile cut Aarons' bill to $2,500 and gave her six months to pay.

'Bad Grandpa': Outrageous but unsatisfying antics
If you liked the "Jackass" television series and its movie spinoffs, you'll probably love "Jackass Presents Bad Grandpa." Starring Johnny Knoxville, the chief perpetrator of many of the disgusting and/or painful-looking stunts featured in those reality shows and films, "Bad Grandpa" is a loose sequence of hidden-camera pranks centered on the outrageous antics of a fictional octogenarian. Some of them are quite funny, but only to the degree that you are able be amused by explosive diarrhea and the effects of age and gravity on certain parts of the male anatomy.
Yes, I laughed.
That is to say, the 13-year-old-boy who lives inside me - and who sometimes comes out, despite my best efforts to shackle him in the attic of my psyche, where he is denied food and water - laughed. Consider this: I also gave "Movie 43? 3 1/2 stars.
"Bad Grandpa" has only the most superficial of plots. Irving, a lecherous, foul-mouthed and wildly irresponsible old coot created by Knoxville during the last season of his television show, is driving his 8-year-old grandson, Billy (Jackson Nicoll), across the country. Knoxville's old-age makeup looks strikingly real, and most of the people he encounters take him for exactly what he appears to be: an elderly idiot who has no business taking care of himself, let alone a minor. In structure and concept, the film resembles the faux-documentary "Borat," with the distinction that the cameras here are all hidden.
And that is where the film falls down and can't get up. Unlike in Sacha Baron Cohen's 2006 punking of middle America, the reactions of the people who are fooled by Knoxville's "Candid Camera"-style stunts just aren't all that funny.
Yes, there are some hilarious setups. Irving hires unsuspecting movers to help him load his late wife's corpse (played by co-producer Spike Jonze in drag) into the trunk of his car; Billy, also in drag, enters a child beauty pageant, performing a raunchy striptease to Warrant's "Cherry Pie" before an audience of shocked parents; Irving soils himself flamboyantly in a diner. But most of the folks caught on camera seem stuck somewhere between bemusement and mild alarm. Only a grocery store owner who catches Irving and Billy shoplifting musters anything close to real outrage.
Part of the subversive thrill of "Jackass" always lay in the fact that there was real danger, whether Knoxville was tumbling around inside a filthy porta-potty or one of his cohorts was stapling his privates to his thigh. In "Bad Grandpa," on the other hand, the stakes seem weirdly low. Even the moving men who help Irving with the disposal of his wife's "corpse" seem strangely unconcerned by the act's illegality, despite their client's repeated (and vocal) reminders. When Irving sprays feces on the wall of a restaurant, the expressions on the onlookers' faces suggest that they've just witnessed someone sneaking an unauthorized soda refill.
Another problem with the film is its episodic structure. Although we're allowed the perverse pleasure of watching Irving commit one inappropriate act after another, our sense of horror/delight dissipates after each one. That is largely the result of interstitial scenes that, while scripted, feel like filler.
On a side note, Billy's fake beauty pageant performance, while naughty, pales in comparison with the gyrations of one of his competitors, who grinds like a prepubescent Miley Cyrus. That just goes to show that, despite "Grandpa's" best efforts to shock us, truth really is stranger than fiction.
Two stars. Rated R. Contains obscenity, crude sexual humor and nudity. 93 minutes.
Ratings Guide: Four stars masterpiece, three stars very good, two stars OK, one star poor, no stars waste of time.

Preceding a bye week, UCSB was also swept at home by Cal State Fullerton. The Gauchos could only muster 21 hits in the Riverside series, good for a .221 average. UCSB is batting .286 as a team, .266 in Big West play, and the pitching staff has a 6.46 overall ERA and a 6.58 ERA in conference.
The Tigers
Pacific (24-21-1, 5-10 BWC), coached by Quincey Noble(13th year, 324-356-1),was swept by Cal State Northridge last weekend and are currently one spot ahead of the Gauchos, in seventh place, in the Big West. Offensively, the Tigers are batting .308 as a team, led offensively by Tim Gilhooly (.368, 14 2B, 10 HR, 44 R, 61 RBI) and Joel Summers (.321, 11 2B, 48 R, 53 H). The pitching staff has an ERA of 5.10, led by junior James Stanford (8-2, 2.88, 55 K, 72 IP) and senior Ryan Jurvakainen (3-2, 4.73, 5 SV, 42 K, 59 IP). The Gauchos and Tigers met earlier this season on March 14 in the Pepsi/Johnny Quick Classic in Fresno, with Pacific coming out on top 11-9. UCSB leads the all-time series 54-22.
Gaucho Probable Starters
1B * Josh McCanne * One of three Gauchos to start all 46 games this year. 2B * Chris Malec * Currently has a nine game hitting streak. SS * Dave Licht * Third on team in runs w/35. Second on team in doubles (8) and walks (26). 3B * Nate Sutton * Did not start last two games for the first time this season. LF * Matt Wilkerson * Leads team with six stolen bases. Second on team with 39 runs. CF * Andy Campanella * Will start if hamstring is not bothering him. RF * Ryan Spilborghs * Has a seven game hitting streak. Has scored 7 runs in last 6 games. C * Taylor Vogt * Went 3-for-10 against UC Riverside with two doubles. DH * Blair Havens * Second on team among starters with .358 average. LHP * Sean Thompson * Looking ot regain early season sucess after a few rough outings. RHP * Eric Posthumus * One of a few Gaucho pitchers that has shown improvement. RHP * Matt Vasquez * Has not won in last ten appearances, including eight starts.
What About Bob?
Bob Brontsema is in his ninth season as Gaucho skipper. He owns a career record of 233-237 (.497). Brontsema is coming off his best coaching season at UCSB guiding the Gauchos to a 40-17 record, good for the best single season winning percentage (.702) at UCSB since 1986. The 40 wins were the most by a UCSB team since 1990. For his efforts, Brontsema was named Big West Coach of the Year for the second time in his career. Brontsema has posted three straight over-.500 campaigns, the school's first such achievement since 1992.
Offensive Offense
Offensively, the Gauchos have looked pretty anemic, as evidenced by their 21 hits in three games against UC Riverside. Aside from their 17-hit and 13-hit performances in non-conference games against Westmont and UCLA, the Gauchos have failed to collect 10 hits in their five other games-within that seven game span. In their last 11 Big West games, UCSB has been held to two runs five times.
Not Exactly Pitching So Hot Either
The Gaucho pitching staff has also had their share of problems. UCSB's hurlers have surrendered ten or more runs four times in their last eight games and nine or more in six of those games. The pitching staff's ERA of 6.46 is now the highest in the Big West.
A Bunch Of Don Baylor Jr.'s
The Gauchos have been hit by so many pitches they may begin wearing some padding like Don Baylor, The Major League's all-time hit-by-pitch King, did. UCSB has had problems getting out of the way from wayward inside pitches, leading the Big West with 85 plunks in 46 games. First baseman Josh McCanne has extended his single-season school record with his 16th beaning over the weekend. Senior Andy Campanella is right on his heels with 15. Not to be outdone, second baseman Chris Malec's 14 hit-by-pitches is good for fifth-all time among freshman in the Big West.
Freshman From Santa Margarita #1: The Record Breaker
Matt Wilkerson has hit a few home runs in his brief career at UCSB. 15 so far to be exact. The 6-4 outfielder/designated hitter has hit five homers in his last six games, to set a new freshman record for homers in a season at UCSB. The Trabuco Hills, Calif., native hit his 11th of the year Wednesday two weeks ago, against USC, and hit two more the next day against Westmont, to tie Jared Janke, who hit 13 in 1993. Wilkerson broke the record with a opposite field blast to right center, in the second inning last week against UCLA. Wilkerson has hit four round-trippers against UCLA including a three-home run showing on February 26. Wilkerson, who's homers come in bunches, has three multi-homer games this season with the third multi-homer game coming against Cal State Northridge. Wilkerson connected for his 15th of the season on Sunday to break the old Big West record of 14, which was held by former Cal State Fullerton grad and current San Diego Padre, Phil Nevin. Wilkerson is currently 27th among Div. I leaders for home runs.
Freshman From Santa Margarita #2: The Streaker
Second baseman Chris Malec is another Gaucho freshman putting an assault on the Gaucho and Big West record books. Malecs' 14 hit-by-pitches is second all-time at UCSB and his 48 RBI is four behind Phil Nevin for sixth-all time for freshmen in the Big West. Malec is currently in the midst of a nine-game hitting streak. The Laguna Niquel, Calif., native had a 14-game hitting streak earlier this seaon, the longest on the team, and also earlier had two six-game hitting streaks.
Doesn't This Guy Pitch?
The Sunday game against Riverside included James Garcia in the starting lineup for the Gauchos, which wasn't too surprising. The senior from Torrance Calif., was slated to make a return to the mound after shoulder problems had kept him out of the Gaucho rotation all season long. What was surprising about the start was that Garcia was not pitching but designated hitting. If everyone in the stands though head coach Bob Brontsema had lost his marbles, they soon found out why he gave Garcia the start. All Garcia did in his first at bat was blast the ball over the fence in straightaway center for a three-run shot, his first as a Gaucho. The 2001 honorable mention All-American pitcher has had pinch hit appearances on three other occasions but the homer was his first hit as a Gaucho.
He's The Best We Got
Junior Ryan Spilborghs is the wheel that makes the Gauchos turn. The lone offensive starter from the 2001 team, is also the most dangerous hitter in the UCSB lineup. "Spilly" as he is known to teammates, coaches and friends, leads the Gauchos and is among the leaders in the Big West, in several offensive categories. Despite being carefully pitched to, the Santa Barbara High School product is still batting a team leading .359 with 13 home runs. Spilly also leads the team with 51 runs, 52 RBI, five triples, 32 walks, a .668 slugging percentage, and a .464 on-base percentage, to name a few. Spilborghs leads the Big West in total bases (123) and runs scored and is second in RBI. Base runners should also be warned, Spilborghs also has a pretty good arm, as evidenced by five assists from his right field position, including seven in his previous year. Spilborghs also led the way for the Gauchos in Riverside series going 4-for-12, hitting his 13th homer of the year. He also currently has a seven game hitting streak.
2001 Gauchos In The Pro's
The Gauchos had 10 players off their 2001 squad sign proffesional contracts. Of those, here is an update of how they are doing so far in 2002. Former lefty starterJim Bullard (9th rd, Chicago White Sox) is 3-2 with 2.41 ERA in six starts for the Winston Salem Warthogs in the Carolina League (High A). Bullard has 24 strikouts in 37.1 innings and has yet to give up a home run. Former shortstop Jeff Bannon (18th rd, Cincinatti) is curently batting .332 with 37 hits, six doubles and 24 runs in 29 games with the Stockton Ports, in the California League (High A). Four year starter at second base and all-time UCSB hits leader, Chad Peshke (33rd rd, Cleveland), is batting .296 with 14 RBI, four doubles and two home runs in 22 games played, for the Colombus Red Stixx in the South Athlantic League (High A). Former first baseman and UCSB single-season home run record holder, Tyler Von Schell (15th rd, San Francisco), is batting .243 with five home runs, 20 RBI and 17 runs scored in 31 games with the Hagerstown Suns, also in the Sough Atlatic League (High A).

Maine jury to deliberate insurance agent's role in alleged Zumba prostitution business
ALFRED, Maine – Jurors must weigh two different images of an insurance agent who's on trial for promoting prostitution: A man who was either a Zumba instructor's shrewd business partner or a smitten lover who wanted to help the single mother.
Deputy District Attorney Justina McGettigan said Mark Strong Sr. "controlled, supervised and managed" the business to the point that the fitness instructor took no action without his approval.
But the defense characterized Strong as a man who was infatuated with a younger woman and made bad moral decisions but never profited from the operation.
"A business partner without making any kind of money? What kind of a business partner is that?" defense lawyer Dan Lilley told jurors in closing arguments on Tuesday.
Jurors on Wednesday were to begin deliberating Strong's role in the alleged prostitution business.
Strong, 57, is accused of helping Alexis Wright use her Kennebunk fitness studio as a front for prostitution from October 2010 to February 2012. He has pleaded not guilty to a dozen counts of promoting prostitution and one count of conspiracy to promote prostitution. Forty-six invasion of privacy counts against him were previously dismissed.
Wright, 30, faces more than 100 counts including prostitution and tax violations. She also has pleaded not guilty and will be tried later.
The prostitution scandal in Kennebunk attracted international attention after it was reported that Wright's ledgers indicated she had more than 150 clients and made $150,000 over 18 months. So far, more than 60 suspected johns have been charged.
Testimony and videos indicated Strong was familiar with operational details of what happened in Wright's dance studio, chatting via Skype before and after her sexual encounters and watching the sex acts from his office 100 miles up the coast in Thomaston.
Wright provided Strong with her clients' license plate numbers, which he checked out using his status as a private investigator, prosecutors said. Wright wanted to confirm her clients' identities and have someone watching over the sex acts to stay safe, McGettigan said.
"This is more than a voyeur. This is a business partner with a business plan and a business that's successful," McGettigan said.
Lilley compared Strong's role to that of a bank that loans money to someone who uses it to commit a crime or a mother who provides meals and housing to a son who's a drug dealer. Neither the bank nor the mother would be charged, and Strong shouldn't have been charged either, he said.
"Do you really think this man went into the business of prostitution, or had he fallen in love or lust with a woman and tried to help her, a single woman with a child?" he said.
Before closing arguments, one of the final witnesses was Strong's brother, an attorney who testified that he told police officers executing a search warrant at Strong's home and office not to let Kennebunk officers have unsupervised access to his seized computers.
The defense has contended Strong was investigating possible unprofessional conduct by Kennebunk police personnel and police targeted him in retaliation because he was delving into embarrassing internal matters, including an affair that involved the lead investigator.
"It was my understanding that there was information on the computer that Kennebunk police officers did not want disclosed," James Strong testified.
One hard drive from Mark Strong's office mistakenly ended up with the Kennebunk investigator, and it was blank when it was delivered to state police. Lilley has suggested that the drive could have contained Strong's investigatory findings before being erased.
McGettigan dismissed the reprisal theory and urged jurors not to be distracted by the suggestion of a "crazy conspiracy."

Host of 'Nic Harcourt,' former KCRW Music Director
Regarded as the ultimate "tastemaker" in music, Nic Harcourt is the former host of both Morning Becomes Eclectic and the syndicated show Sounds Eclectic. After 10 years as KCRW Music Director, Nic stepped down in 2008 to pursue other opportunities. Still a DJ at KCRW, Nic currently serves as an Editor-at-Large for Music and Culture at the Los Angeles Times Magazine and is music supervisor for the hit show 90210.
Born in Birmingham, England, he started his world travels in Australia and lived there during his mid 20's. He arrived in the United States in 1988 with a bagful of records and charmed his way into a part-time gig at the well-respected independent station WDST in Woodstock, New York. By the time he left for KCRW, he had gone from the midnight shift to Music Director.
He began hosting the daily Morning Becomes Eclectic in 1998 featuring his picks from the best new music, spanning a wide range of genres. A weekly version of the show, then-called Sounds Eclectic, aired on a number of other public radio stations around the country and worldwide. The shows include live performances by both established and rising stars.
Many artists, including Dido, Coldplay and Norah Jones, have credited Harcourt for putting the map and helping them achieve stardom. He's also helped launch the careers of Ting Tings, Sigur Ros, Damian Rice, Death Cab for Cutie, Franz Ferdinand, Interpol and countless others. He has been described by music writer Mark Weingarten as "the most influential DJ in America."
KCRW has long been regarded as a Los Angeles cultural institution, and Harcourt raised the bar for the station by introducing events such as station-sponsored KCRW and KCRW.com Presents concerts. KCRW was the first station to broadcast from remote locations like SXSW, CMJ and the Latin Alternative Music Conference. Nic also produced the Sounds Eclectic CD compilation series. The latest CD, Sounds Eclectic: The Next One, is available via Amazon.
Harcourt's first foray into literature was Music Lust,a book of "recommended listening for every mood, moment and reason."
He has also worked as music consultant/supervisor for several television shows including: 90210, Queer as Folk, Life as We Know It, In Justice, What about Brian and Love Monkey (for which he was also a co-producer), as well as advertising campaigns for Mitsubishi Motors, Apple's iPod and Victoria's Secret. Nic has helped to select music for the motion pictures He's Just Not That into You, Pride and Glory, Ice Age, Ice Age II, Anchorman, Igby Goes Down, Gone Baby Gone, Dukes of Hazzard and the upcoming Fireflies in the Garden. For the last two years, Nic was the "voice of Land Rover" for all of their television and radio commercials.

Adolescents: Pregnancy
Kathleen A. Rounds and Traci L. Wike
Although rates of adolescent pregnancy have exhibited a downward trend since 1991, the United States continues to have a significantly higher rate than other industrialized nations. Adolescent pregnancy, especially in early and middle adolescence, has long-term developmental and economic impact on the teen and her child, in addition to high social costs. This entry describes the current trends in adolescent pregnancy in the United States, and examines factors reported in the research literature as associated with adolescent pregnancy, discusses federal policy directed toward adolescent pregnancy prevention, and identifies various intervention programs.
Adoption: Overview
Richard P. Barth
Adoption of children from foster care and international adoptions have accelerated since 1987. Federal policy changes have markedly increased the termination of parental rights and adoption of children in foster care. Adoption by relatives and single parents has also grown markedly. Open adoption is increasingly normative. Adoption outcomes are generally positive although there is substantial call for post-adoption support for children adopted from foster care. These services are emerging but their efficacy is still untested. More work is needed on post-adoption services because there are now more former foster children in post-adoption status than there are children in foster care.
Adoption: Intercountry
Karen Smith Rotabi
The practice of intercountry adoption is considered from a historical framework, beginning with World War II to other conflicts and the global dynamics of child circulation for adoption. Significant sources of children are presented, including Russia, China, and Guatemala, as well as moratoriums related to poor practice and fraud. Framed from a social justice perspective, the Hague Convention on Intercountry Adoption is presented with an exploration of child sales and abduction into intercountry adoption. A global market for children creates significant practice challenges for social workers who engage in assessment, both in the country of child origin and in the destination country. Follow-up care includes case management to support families and children in the intercountry adoption process. In conclusion, the significant decline in the practice is reflected upon pragmatically; the need for true reform in the practice is necessary to preserve intercountry adoption for orphaned and vulnerable children.
Adoption: Lesbian and Gay Adoptive Parents
Abbie E. Goldberg and April Moyer
Adoption by lesbian and gay parents is becomingly increasingly common. This entry presents an overview of the limited research that has focused on lesbian and gay adoptive parents. Specifically, this entry addresses the experience of adoptive parenthood for lesbian and gay parents, with emphasis on the decision-making process (that is, choosing adoption, choosing an agency, choosing an adoption type, and specifying child characteristics), the transition to adoptive parenthood, the psychological adjustment of the adoptive parents and their children, and the adoptive parent–child relationship. We end with recommendations for future research and implications for practitioners and policymakers.
Adult Protective Services
Patricia Brownell and Joanne Marlatt Otto
Adult Protective Services (APS) are empowered by states and local communities to respond to reports and cases of vulnerable adult abuse, neglect, and self-neglect. While incorporating legal, medical, and mental health services, APS programs are part of the social services delivery system and incorporate principles and practices of the social work profession.
African Americans: Practice Interventions
Sharon E. Moore
African Americans number about 35 million or 12% of the U.S. population. Their life expectancy is lower than that of White Americans, and despite the educational gains made since mid-1980s, the unemployment gap between African Americans and Whites has increased. Similarly, although the number of African Americans working in white-collar occupations has increased, the disparity in wage earnings between African American and White workers continues. Regardless of social class African Americans are made to be cognizant of their race at all times. Today they are still at risk for social issues such as substance abuse, teen pregnancy, incarceration, poverty, high rates of female headed households, infant mortality that is twice as high as Whites, residential segregation, racism, and discrimination. As daunting as these problems are, the strengths of the African American community have allowed it to thrive even amid arduous circumstances.
Aging: Practice Interventions
Lenard W. Kaye
Social workers address older adult issues at all levels of service planning, policy-making, and delivery and across a wide range of community and institutional settings. While various models of practice intervention with older adults exist, more recently the focus is on the integration of micro and macro strategies with an emphasis on strength-based perspectives to geriatric social work practice. The older adult population will expand dramatically and become increasingly culturally, racially, and ethnically diverse in the future and social work services will need to be sensitive to the variety of issues faced by a more heterogeneous and sophisticated older adult population.
Child Abuse and Neglect
Susan J. Wells and Geoff Johnson
The true extent of child abuse and neglect is unknown but reports to state agencies indicate over 3 million reports concerning maltreatment of over 6 million children are made each year. Confirmed reports involved over 679,000 children in 2013. Yet, only 32% of the children known to be harmed by maltreatment in the community are investigated by child protective services. The perplexing dilemma in surveillance and service delivery is how to identify those who need help without spuriously including those who do not. This entry focuses on the definition of maltreatment and provides an overview of the history, etiology, and consequences of child abuse and neglect as well as the current trends and dilemmas in the field. To afford some perspective for the reader, some international data and information are provided.
Child Care Services
Laura Lein
Child care services, enabling parents to commit themselves to paid employment while providing a supervised environment for their children, have a long and complex history in the United States. Child care services can provide children with educational and other advantages, as well as custodial care. In fact, the United States has multiple kinds of services providing child care and early childhood education. Publicly funded services have concentrated on care for impoverished children and those facing other risks or disadvantages, but many of these children and their families remain unserved because of gaps in programs and lack of support for subsidies, while other families purchase the services they need.
Child Support
Delanie P. Pope and Joseph Kozakiewicz
Child support is the legal mechanism requiring parents to share in the economic support of their children. Under the law, parents are obligated to support their children regardless of whether they reside with them. Support calculations for noncustodial parents are based on many different factors, which vary from state to state. Enforcement is the single biggest challenge in the area of child support. The federal government continues to pass laws enhancing states' enforcement capabilities. Recipients of child support differ by race and ethnic group. Child support obligations are distinct from alimony and are usually independent of parenting time.

Chinese stocks, which have had a forgettable year so far, climbed 3 percent on Wednesday, after the country's new leadership promised further reforms. But is the rally that has fizzled out many times in the past here to stay?
China's new Communist Party chief and incoming president Xi Jinping said on Tuesday, while addressing a Politburo meeting, that the government would deepen economic reforms, including allowing market forces to play a bigger role in setting prices.
(Read more: China to Fine-Tune Policies in 2013)
The comments, plus positive economic data over the past couple of months, were enough to give the market a lift, analysts said, however adding that the sustainability of the rally was in question.
"Local investors are finally taking things more positively because there are clear signs of recovery in the economy. But it's a short-term rally and whether it follows through, we will see," Phillip Chan, director with Shenyin Wanguo Securities in Hong Kong told CNBC.
The Shanghai Composite Index has shed 60 percent of its value since a 2007 peak and is languishing near 4-year lows. It has also fallen below the key support level of 2,000 several times this year. The index closed at 2,031.9, an upside of 2.87 percent from Tuesday's close.
According to Dhiren Sarin, chief technical strategist for Asia with Barclays, the larger trend for the Shanghai Composite still remains lower at this point even if the market has bounced in the near-term.
"For the past two years, the bounces have repeatedly stopped short of previous meaningful peaks," Sarin said. "The most recent peaks are around the October high of 2,145. It would take a close above this level to suggest that the downtrend is changing. Until then, the medium to longer term view is still for a move down towards 1,900 and potentially 1,815."
Has the Market Bottomed?
While doubts remain on whether this rally will stick, Alan Lam, China strategist with Julius Baer in Hong Kong, said the scale and pace of the selloff in Chinese stocks has slowed recently, indicating that a bottom could be near.
"I think the market could establish a bottom by the fourth quarter or at the very latest, early next year," he said.
At the same time, investors are increasingly giving up hope that the government will come up with major stimulus measures in the new year. Xi on Tuesday, while promising further reforms, also emphasized "policy continuity and stability," further reinforcing this view, said Zhiwei Zhang, chief China economist with Nomura in Hong Kong.

Happiness is an option: Fantastic 'Paddington 2' is brimming with optimism
Paddington 2
4 out of 5 Stars
Director: Paul King
Writers: Paul King (screenplay), Simon Farnaby (screenplay), Michael Bond (created by)
Starring: Sally Hawkins, Ben Whishaw, Hugh Bonneville, Hugh Grant
Genre: Comedy, Adventure
Rated: PG for some action and mild rude humor
Synopsis: Paddington, having found a home in London with the Brown family, looks to send a one-of-a-kind pop-up book to his Aunt Lucy for her 100th birthday.
Review: I was a big fan of 2015's "Paddington," a delightful film about a talkative Peruvian bear who finds himself in London and in need of a home. I know that I often harp on about how I enjoy films that teach me something, but that doesn't mean I can't enjoy a bit of frivolous fantasy from time to time. Particularly when that frivolity comes in the shape of a fun, smart and blissfully optimistic movie like "Paddington."
"Paddington 2" is every bit as good as the original film. In fact, it might be a little better. The central story is that Aunt Lucy, the kindhearted bear who rescued and raised Paddington, is about to turn 100 years old. Paddington wants to get her the perfect gift, but the antique pop-up book of London that he desperately wants to get her is rare and incredibly expensive.
I'll keep the spoilers to a minimum and just say that Paddington, by nature of being Paddington, manages to land himself in jail. Behind bars, Paddington, still being Paddington, melts the hearts of the hardened criminals that surround him and adds a splash of color to the surroundings as well. Which might as well be a metaphor for why the film exists in the first place. Paddington is our Greek chorus. Paddington doesn't want an argument. He wants a hug.
With Paddington in prison, the Browns, his adoptive family, looks to find proof that Paddington isn't guilty of what he is accused of. This gives allows us some quality time with actors Sally Hawkins and Hugh Bonneville and allows Hugh Grant to chew the scenery as he plays Phoenix Bachanan, a fading actor desperate for a career revival. In a vacuum, the performances might feel overblown, but in the world that this film takes place, they're pitch perfect. As is the storybook ending.
I left the theater with a tear and a smile.
If you are looking for an escape, remedy for the post-holiday blues or a family-friendly film that is actually a fantastic movie, then I highly recommend "Paddington 2."

No worries: With practice, you can train yourself to master habits and approaches that help those on "the other side" run their businesses.
12 Sep, 2017ENTREPRENEUR.COM
Are you an extrovert or an introvert? In case you aren't familiar, someone's place on the spectrum of extroversion and introversion depends on how much that person prefers the company of other people -- and his or her preference as to "natural" social setting.
Extroverts tend to feel energized being surrounded by others, at parties and networking events, while introverts feel recharged when they're alone, or in the company of a select few people.
You can probably spot extroverts and introverts in your own life (including yourself) with ease. Your extrovert friends like to throw parties and go out to bars, while your introvert friends like to stay in with a book or a plan for the evening binge-watching movies. Each lifestyle has different social advantages, but how do those advantages play out in an entrepreneurial setting?

Intuitively, you might believe that extroverts have a natural advantage when it comes to entrepreneurship. They're more comfortable with engaging with other people, and more likely to do it on a consistent basis. As a result, they tend to have:

Before you start believing that extroverts truly are better suited to be entrepreneurs, consider that introverts have some advantages of their own. Because they don't spend as much time socializing with others and building personal networks, they have more time to spend on other matters:
It's important to note how rare it is that someone is either purely extroverted or introverted. Even strong extroverts enjoy quiet time to themselves on occasion, while strong introverts are capable of comfortably navigating highly social environments.
The descriptions in the respective sections above reflect broad generalizations, and may not apply to every individual who describes himself or herself as an "introvert" or "extrovert."

If you feel like an introvert or extrovert, and think things on the other side of the fence are better, don't fret. Research does show a genetic component to where you fall on the introvert-extrovert spectrum, but that doesn't mean you don't have control over how your personality develops, or that you're stuck in any one spot on that spectrum permanently.
With effort, you can train yourself to master habits and approaches that seem reserved for your counterparts. And your business will be better for the effort.

Hastings, more changes than just the interior
Hastings Entertainment in Sweetwater has not only made some changes on the inside — they have some great events arriving visually for the readers and musically for those music listeners.Speaking with Thomas Jowers, manager of the Hastings located at 1102 E. Broadway, he has arrived to the Sweetwater Hastings with many new ideas. He welcomes local artists of all kinds. Jowers wants to get all of the community involved with Hastings events. From children's Easter egg hunts, to cartoon character events, and much more for families and adults.Jowers had been with the Abilene Hastings location for over six months, and was asked if he liked the store in Sweetwater. The next thing he knew he was handed the keys as manager of the Hastings here locally. Jowers has been with Hastings Entertainment, Inc. ever since August of 2010. Before that, he was working for Sears.Jowers says he wants to bring the community together. "What better way to do that, than to have the authors of the books we sell here at the store show up and autograph their book for the customers who come in to purchase it," said Jowers.Within the next few weeks, Jowers has scheduled guest authors, Harvey Tingle, Tom Turner, Stan Johnson, Travis Monday, as well as Clifford Etheredge arriving for book signings."Same goes for the musicians' CDs that we sell," said Jowers. Jowers already has some guest musicians coming to Sweetwater the next couple of weekends approaching. Such names as Seth Candan, Corey Bivens Band and many more in the very near future will be arriving at Hastings.Jowers was able to locate in the Sweetwater Hastings office history notebooks of musicians who have attended five to six years ago before at the store. So he picked up the phone and started calling them to come back to Sweetwater. He said, "That is all it takes. Just a phone call. The worst they could say is no."One of Jowers' other goals is to refill the "Wall of Fame," as one might see it. It's located just above the magazine area, on the upper wall. This is where he'd like to have autographed pictures of the musicians and authors who come to visit the store.Other changes that have occurred inside of the Hastings are cosmetic in nature. They removed the coffee area, and converted it into a larger magazine selection. Jowers said, "We now have the largest book and magazine selection in town."Just last week they have enlarged their video game area to include TV screens with each game system, so customers may try out a game before purchasing it. Also, they now have full department managers in each area of product, which helps keep a handle on all department inventories and better selections of all interests for the customers.Jowers noted, "We have the largest Blu-ray selection. Within the next 90 days we hope to be increasing our new releases and movie rental quantity, not to mention an increase of different movie selections."To top things off even more, Hastings will be in the Rattlesnake Round-Up parade, as well as having activities for all to enjoy during the Rattlesnake Round-Up at the store location. They will also have a booth located at the Rattlesnake Round-Up event area.If you'd like more information to see who is arriving to Hastings, check out your local Community Calendar in the Sweetwater Reporter, or just go visit the updated Hastings. If you are a local musician or artist and would be interested in displaying or performing at Hastings, contact Jowers at 325-236-9422.

text: Hi, Is there a way to use the email tag so that IC does not have to wait after sending out all mail before returning a page? In other words, I am using the email tag to send out emails to a group of users whenever a single user creates a new piece of content on a site. I have set up a system where once a user creates some new content, and hits a "publish" button, a form gets passed to a "publish" routine that includes a loop using the "email" tag to send a message to everyone in a group. The problem is, this group could contain thousands of email addresses, and the "publish" routine would simply time out. Is there a way to use a tag that does not have to loop through an email list and send out mail and wait until all mail is sent before returning? I would like to achive the following: User publishes new content. Content is saved to a table. New message data is saved to a "send_message" table. Then a daemon can pick that up and send out that message via email on a loop. This way a very large list can be managed. Any advice? Thanks Rick

NCAA 14 Demo: Early Returns & Gripes
Early impressions of NCAA 14 are pretty positive so far. I admit I haven't played it in God knows how long...so some of those who've pretty loyally played it year after year have an advantage in the progression of the game.
I really like the control and flexibility of the running game. It's nice to see Man-Bawl be successful - especially against our hated rival!
I also like the "Ask the Coach" feature for play-calls. Makes me feel like I'm in Borges' head during the game...I don't recall this being a feature when last I played. It's been in Madden forever, but not sure about NCAA.
Dislike the names tied to the players though. I understand they can't use REAL names, but I think I prefer OT #77 to the name tied to Lewan (can't recall it off the top of my head). Especially confusing to my 7-year old son who loves Devin Gardner and was like "why is #12 named xxxx?"
Also find it a bit TOO easy in the passing game. Just about every throw seems to hit on target without alot of effort. My kids are effectively winging it all over the place - which is great to keep them interested - but not altogether realistic.
I only played for about 2 hours - but interested in learning other's feedback and features of the game they've found an improvement - or simply just fun to utilize.
***Side Note - had to change my Xbox name from BDOGG6969 to BDOGG1974 since my 10-year old daughter and 7-year old son love the game so far...and they're asking too many questions about my name!***
Speaking of all them questions...

MSNBC's lineup may be getting some serious firepower: Looks like Alec Baldwin is signing up to host a show on the cable news network.
Baldwin, the 55-year-old former costar of NBC's sitcom "30 Rock," would bring his famously liberal point of view to a show that would air at 10 p.m. Fridays, according to the site Mediaite, which broke the story.
The cable news wars are heating up again. News of Baldwin's possible show broke the same day that reports indicated Fox News anchor Megyn Kelly would get the 9 p.m. slot currently occupied by Sean Hannity.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
A talent representative said a deal is believed to already have been signed, but an MSNBC spokeswoman declined to confirm that or comment on the Mediaite report.
Baldwin would be a choice almost guaranteed to hearten liberals as much as it would irk conservatives. The actor has been an outspoken left-wing advocate for years, making him a favorite of Democratic viewers.
Earlier this year, however, he was attacked for calling a British reporter "a toxic little queen." Many observers, including CNN's openly gay Anderson Cooper, said that a conservative who said the same thing would have been viewed as homophobic, but that Baldwin got a free pass because of his politics.
What's certain is that Baldwin knows how to make news, intentionally or not. In 2007, he made international headlines when he left a voice message berating his then-11-year-old daughter as a "rude, thoughtless little pig." He later apologized.
What do you think of Baldwin possibly getting an MSNBC show?

Whether it is the nervous system or the immune system that becomes compromised, natural medicine has a number of effective remedies to support those under stress. And the first place to start is with the "nervines". This category of botanicals includes Valerian, Passion Flower, Oatstraw, and Chamomile.
Valerian (Valeriana officinalis) is perhaps the most popular and certainly the most clinically effective of all the nervines. It has been widely used for centuries in North America and Europe for its calmative and sedative properties. Recent research has shown Valerian root to relieve insomnia and actually improve sleep quality. In addition, it has spasmolytic properties, and is useful in relieving cramps in the intestines as well as in the uterus. It is also effective for muscle spasms. The active components of Valerian include valerenic acid and its valepotriates.
Passion Flower (Passiflora incarnata), Oatstraw (Avena sativa), and Chamomile (Chamaemelum nobile) are also effective, especially when combined with Valerian. What makes these nervines beneficial is that they are strong relaxants and calmatives but do not cause the "hang-over" side-effects. They also have nervous system "toning" properties that are, in effect, "restorative".
The adaptogenic herbs Siberian Ginseng (Eleutherococcus senticosus) and American Ginseng (Panax quinquefolius) are also useful. This category of herbs assists the body in adapting to stress, whether the stress is metabolic, physical, or psychological. In addition, both of these herbs also have immune-enhancing properties and support adrenal function. In my experience, the adaptogens should be used by all persons under stress to support energy as well as protect against further weakening of body metabolism.
Astragalus (Astragalus membranaceus) is closely related to the adaptogens, but should technically be in a category of its own. This noted herb from China is a strong tonic for energy and the immune system. In Oriental medicine, it is used to support resistance and protect the body from disease and sickness. In one recent study, Astragalus extract was found to be effective in preventing metabolic dysfunction in animals who had been subjected to severe noise stress. Like the adaptogens, Astragalus (most effectively used in a combination) should always be considered as an herbal supplement for those under stress.
The following is an Herbal Program that may be a useful tool in managing stress syndromes:
Take as needed, daily if necessary:
Valerian or Valerian combined with Passion Flower and other nervines
For its relaxant and nervine properties
Dosage: one dose, three times daily, as needed
Siberian Ginseng or Siberian Ginseng combined with American Ginseng
For its adaptogenic properties and to support energy
Dosage: 1 dose, 3 times daily
B Complex
Supports metabolism during times of stress
Dosage: 1 dose (up to 50 mg of B1,B3,B6), 3 times daily
Astragalus or Astragalus combination
For its deep toning support
Dosage: 1 dose, 3 times daily
Further restores and relaxes the nervous system
Dosage: 1 dose (up to 250 mg of Calcium), 3 times daily
B Complex
Supports metabolism during times of stress
Dosage: 1 dose (up to 50 mg B1,B3,B6), 3 times daily
Allow the body time to integrate the previous weeks supplements
Botanical medicines and other nutritional supplements are only a part of an anti-stress program. You may consider many other helpful tools on your road to relaxation: yoga, meditation, exercise, biofeedback, acupuncture, acupressure, and massage. And of course, a balanced diet will always be of benefit. Experimenting with these modalities as well as using the above Herbal Program will help lead you to a more relaxed, healthier life!

Gold and grey iPhone 5S cases appear in videos
It appears that the next mobile phone from Apple has made an appearance over the weekend showing off a number of its colourful cases.
Three videos have shown the gold and grey cases that are thought to belong to the iPhone 5S, which is due to be released later this month (September).
We've seen the number of Apple leaks go into overdrive over the last week or so, which indicates that a release date will be imminent. This also conveniently coincides with the company's event that is due to be held on September 10th and many people expect the Cupertino manufacturer to unveil the device, and maybe the budget-friendly iPhone 5C, at the meeting.
It's also thought that, towards the end of September, the next operating system from Apple iOS7, will be launched. This means that anyone with an iPhone 4S or later will be able to take advantage of the updated software.

Third Army (theblackdog)
First of, here's some sheep from Ireland I had to dig through to find my own pictures. Notice the FBI's awesome photography skills.
The Schattenläufer blasts a Manly Men and misses a space pirate. Notice how I inherited those skills.
He fires the dreaded plasma cannon again!
Valeera looks on as two of her final remaining buddies are splattered to the four winds.
If you look closely you can see everyone and the turret combining fire on the gatling walker.
Though only by one point of damage, it is destroyed outright, though the damage was minimal enough for the pilot to survive.
Myrna mounts her Hound speederbike. "Fuck the Immortals. Fuck the Immortal Palace. Fuck the Emperor."
"Surprise Motherfucka!"
The All-Rounders are tough bastards and neither her blasters nor her beamsabre kill any of them. Even when she rams her speeder into one's stomach the cyborg survives.
Most do badly, but plowthrough damage from the machine laser kills a Brittanian heavy, the berserker and demolitions expert
The others get into cover, poised to strike...
The Hyena's head is blasted off for 1 SP of damage.
Space Pirates - piltogg
Valeera picks up Pedoctor's medikit. 'Keep away from children.' it reads.
She puts the medikit in her secret place and together with the last pirate dives into the water, which gives them a bit of cover.
Valeera calls out to the deep. "Ph'nglui mglw'nafh Cthulhu R'lyeh wgah'nagl fhtagn!"
Critical success! Crocodile Dundee arrives with two crocodiles and a peach pirate in tow. They confiscate some of the fallen Manly Men's equipment while they're at it.
Commandos - Apollyon
The flamer pushes his way through the debris and corpses and fires his flamethrower, hoping to smoke the jaegers in the bunker out.
The flames are not devastating enough to kill them, but at least keep the Jaegers away from the wall.
The others follow suit. The riot trooper shoots Myrna in the face, but she shrugs it off. The assassin then lines up a shot...
A perfect shot takes down a heavy.
The psi trooper challenges der Kaiser to a battle of minds.
Der Kaiser's mind proves to be stronger though, and the psi trooper is immobilized for a round.
The sniper is the only one in the redoubt who is in range, and she fires a response shot...
A headshot takes care of the assassin.
Inquistadores - Zupponn
Battered but not broken, the Inquistadores send their reinforcements into the fray. A Jackal mech riding a Tigre tank like a skateboard, no less.
The Tigre drives the Jackal over to the redoubt, where it bounces off the Hyena to jump to the top of the redoubt
With its autocannon and autolaser firing simultaneously, the Jackal decimates the Wolves on top of the redoubt, all except one.
The Jackal lets out a defying roar as it scales the redoubt. Even when he's grabbed and slowly being crushed the Wolf gets a shot off, but to little avail; the armour is just too tough.
Meanwhile the Tigre fires all of its weapons simultaneously at the gate, blowing apart another militia and flinging the lieutenant away.
Angelica arrives with two of her sex slaves- err bodyguards and tries to strike a sexy pose to stop the defenders from returning fire.
It crit fails, meaning the tank will have to live through two volleys.
The combined fire is too much for the light tank to digest.
Brittanian League - Silverdream
"I meant to do that!"
"Goodbye, weapon of greatness, thou hath brought me much pleasure."
The beamsabre explodes, knocking the turret off its tower!
The All-Rounders rush upon der Kaiser.
... but that's what his guards were waiting for! The Himmelsjäger and last special agent leap into action.
"For fuck's sake man, that was a headshot."
"You think I wear this stupid helmet for fun?"
"Well what about THIS?"
" "
"I see your critical failure, and raise you one cricket bat."
Himmelsjäger are protected by the finest armour in the Empire, and don't go down easily.
The Farce helps them to make up for the All-Rounders' cybernetic enhancements.
Hits are exchanged in the evenly-matched combat, but so far no one goes down...
"Kaiser, get inside!"
"You think I can't handle myself?"
Even when der Kaiser attacks, the All-Rounder stands its ground, defensive rolls getting the better off attack rolls for now...
The rocketeers use the distraction to fly up into the bunker.
One crit-fails, so the psychobot survives for now, but he doesn't really have anywhere to go.
Colonial Militia - Scratch
Johnny Blitzkrieg goes all Indy on Serena, kicking her shield away.
She strikes, but he dodges and grabs both her wrists...
Forcing her arms around, Johnny Blitzkrieg impales Serena on her own sword.
Sharane meanwhile is in a bit of a pinch too, taking a shoulder bash from the Engel which will knock her into the water.
She also takes a shot to the face, but is somehow tough enough to stomach it.
The Engel pilot gets unlucky as Valeera rear attacks her, almost cutting off her head (-1 SP).
The militia surge forth from the barracks and try to shoot Sharane, but the bullets once again don't seem able to penetrate her skin.
Lots of people are trying to kill Sharane. This trooper doesn't get lucky either.
The SMG's are being a little bit underwhelming really.
Militia, you can ask them to combined fire annihilate a tank, but once the targets get a little smaller, don't expect much...
Immortals - heavyfishcannon
Sharane Farce-leaps out of the water and rams her powerblade into the Engel's faceplate, not destroying the suit, but rather killing the pilot inside.
As the Engel collapses Valeera jumps off its shoulder, and suddenly, the two champions find themselves face to face ...
While the women are doing all the fighting, the Terrorkhan dick around and shoot the gate. The structure isn't all that impressed.
Manly Men - lawmaster
I don't believe I've received lawmaster's orders, so we'll just have to settle for watching Manly Santa and Psychodad return to the field. Suffice to say they must've suffered some delays while traveling with the elves.
Psycho Dad: 1/2 HP
Sharane 2/3 HP
Hyena: 1/3 SP
