Turin Book Fair Criticised for Honoring Israel [incl. Tariq Ramadan]
Muslim intellectuals opposed to the choice of Israel as the guest of honour at this year's book fair in the northern Italian city of Turin launched a seminar Monday on "ethnic cleansing in Palestine."
The five-day book fair, which opens Thursday, is honouring Israel to mark the 60th anniversary of the creation of the Jewish state.
Several Muslim writers, intellectuals and artists as well as the Free Palestine association kicked off the two-day seminar at the University of Turin titled "Western Democracies and Ethnic Cleansing in Palestine."
A spokesman for the organisers, Tariq Ramadan, on Monday criticised the planned presence of Italian President Giorgio Napolitano at the book fair, saying it made it "a political and not a cultural event."
Ramadan is the grandson of Hassan El-Banna, the Egyptian founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, an international Sunni Islamist movement.
Ramadan said last week that he would not "offer his support to 60 years of a policy of oppression of the Palestinian people."
More than 300,000 people visited last year's fair in Turin.
A similar dispute arose at the Paris book fair in March, where Israel was also the guest of honour.
Several Muslim countries boycotted the event, inaugurated by Israeli President Shimon Peres.Note: Articles listed under "Middle East studies in the News" provide information on current developments concerning Middle East studies on North American campuses.

One of the few accurate criticisms of An Inconvenient Truth was the way it deliberately avoided difficult policy prescriptions. For one thing, there was no mention of a high carbon tax, one thing our country (and atmosphere) desperately need. (And liberals aren't the only ones endorsing a carbon tax. See this list of Pigou club members…)
In an eloquent speech yesterday at NYU, Gore made up for any wonkish details that his movie left out. I was most struck by his proposal to replace all payroll taxes with pollution taxes.
For the last fourteen years, I have advocated the elimination of all payroll taxes — including those for social security and unemployment compensation — and the replacement of that revenue in the form of pollution taxes — principally on CO2. The overall level of taxation would remain exactly the same. It would be, in other words, a revenue neutral tax swap. But, instead of discouraging businesses from hiring more employees, it would discourage business from producing more pollution.
P.S. Curious about the math? In a comment on Ezra Klein's blog, Nicolas Beaudrot does some quick budgetry:
The US produced roughly 6 million metric tons of CO2 last year. Social Insurance taxes brought in $733 Billion in revenue Table F-3. A gallon of gas produces 20 pounds of CO2.
The math says … $.06 per pound of CO2, or $1.20 per gallon of gas. pre-2004, gas was about $4.50/gal US in Europe, and below $2.00/gal in most of the States. This means we could enact a CO2 tax and still pay less than Europeans pay for gas (which is around $6.50 today).
What's more, the payroll tax is almost entirely born by the worker. Someone who makes $40,000/year and drives 18,000 miles in a 20 mpg car (or cars) would still come out way ahead.
Obviously, there would be losers, particularly some heavy industry and equipment manufacturers and in areas where a daily commute of 100 miles isn't unheard of. But a co2 tax doesn't change the basic equation of energy profitability. It just takes it from ludicrously profitable to ridiculously profitable.

ATLANTA - Channel 2 Action News spent months digging into big local stories and now those investigations are coming to primetime. This one hour program, hosted by Channel 2 Action News anchors Justin Farmer and Jovita Moore, exposes stories that impact Georgia families and taxpayers.
"Local animal owners complain pet treats imported from China killed their dogs," said Farmer. "Consumer investigator Jim Strickland dug into the mystery illness and why the treats are still being sold in Georgia, even though the FDA has known about the problem for five years."
"Plus, there are so many boarded up and burned out houses in local neighborhoods," said Moore. "Channel 2 Action News sent investigative reporter Jodie Fleischer to track down the owners and found there are none. See the big impact thousands of abandoned houses have on Georgians and the challenges that keep cities from cleaning them up."
"Channel 2 Action News investigative reporter Aaron Diamant uncovers some MARTA cops and bus drivers making six figures," said Farmer. "Diamant spent weeks going through the records and found some MARTA employees doubled their salary. We reveal the big reason MARTA says its employees are paid so much money."
Channel 2 Action News Investigates also exposes a crackdown on college kids arrested for underage drinking. Investigative reporter Richard Belcher digs into the hardline policy that leaves students with a criminal record. Erin Coleman, Channel 2's 4 p.m. anchor, reveals why car thieves in Georgia get out of jail again and again and how it hits Georgians in the wallet. Viewers are invited to join the conversation on Facebook and Twitter before the show.

We have a problem that is over constrained -- it is impossible to accomplish all of the desired goals of clarity and compatibility simultaneously. Thus, it is necessary to come to some 'rough consensus' about which choice to make. This is especially difficult for changes to terminology that cannot by themselves be judged by "running code"; when we have no judgment by "running code", the "rough consensus" is pretty rough. > Without your change the document defines what a relative-URI is, with > your change it does not. I consider the terminology part of the tech- > nology as that is what people use to interact with the technology. It > is like a public interface in computing, you can rename stuff while > remaining internally consistent, yet software breaks if you do it. I think the question of "technology" is whether a change breaks existing implementations (this doesn't) or just wording in specifications. We're not actually naming interfaces, just specifications; and IETF specifications have explicit versions. > There is a broad range of specifications that consider e.g. "/foo" a > "URI" as defined in RFC2396, RFC2396bis says it is not a "URI", it > should be obvious that this is not compatible. No, it isn't 'obvious': it is normally the case that new specifications can redefine terms if the new definitions are better. There is no requirement that terms keep their definitions as specifications move forward, if the redefinition doesn't affect software, just documentation. Old programs whose documentation says "X is a URI - in absolute or relative URI" will need to have their documentation fixed. Old programs whose documentation says "You can type a URI into the address bar" yet don't allow you to type a relative path into the address bar -- their documentation won't have to change. > Similar for "#x", per > RFC2396 this is not a relativeURI, draft-fielding-uri-rfc2396bis-06 > considers it a relative-URI, that is obviously not compatible either. If definitions of terms in specifications were required to be "compatible", we could never make any changes to any specs at all! No software is affected by the changes in definitions. Other specifications which currently cite RFC 2396 may have to be edited in order to properly cite RFC2396bis, but this is an editorial task for the editors of documents, not a software task for the implementers of software. > Sorry but I am unable to find any evidence that considering > "/foo" not a URI is in any way common in specifications, In some specifications, but in others, it is defined otherwise. We must make a choice, and cannot allow both a constrained and unconstrained definition. The choice is editorial, and after two years of deliberation, we've made the choice that makes the most sense given all of the constraints. > implementations, This is a different matter. I have some software that uses the word "integer" to mean "a 32 bit number". Certainly the token "integer" in my program doesn't really mean "integer" in the mathematical sense. So, just because many programmers have used the token "URI" in their software to mean "URI or relative path" does not constrain what the definition of a URI should be. > or other common usage. I suppose we should have some concern about common usage in newspapers and so on, but frankly, I think in common usage, if I ask you "do you have the URI for that newspaper article", I would be very unhappy if you were to give me a relative path! In the cases I can think of, 'common usage' is more in line with the current direction than not (although URL is more in common usage than URI, for that matter). > My experience is exactly the opposite. If you could point > out software that throws syntax error exceptions when passing "/foo" to > what expects a URI that would be helpful, but it seems rather unlikely > to me that such software constitutes a vast majority in any sense. I have software that fails to function when I pass it 200000000000000000000000000 as an "integer", even though 200000000000000000000000000 is definitely an integer. Software that uses XML Schema will 'anyURI', which includes URIs, relative paths, and IRIs. It doesn't mean that anything that satisfies the schema constraint 'anyURI' is a URI. In summary: The editorial problem of the definition of terms is over constrained; there is no way to satisfy all of the desired properties. After an enormous amount of deliberation and discussion, we've made a choice. I believe this choice is the best solution, considering all of the constraints.

Robert passed away in July of 2009. This website is now maintained by his son, Alex. For the most part it remains unchanged.
This is a collection of my occasional essays on subjects covering a range of current concerns. Some have to do with long-range planning for both local governments and the world and large, others have to do with economic and political problems, along with some suggested solutions or, at least, ideas for further discussion.
There follows some of a more philosophical nature having to do with the "meaning of life", or at least how we can get the most out of our own lives. I end with a few famous follies from the past which can serve as a warning as to what happens when people ignore environmental degradation.

Hey all. Newbie here. How do I go about adding search engine terms on the wordpress or best blogs on wordpress site? I'm also looking for some feedback on site design. Are there more than the standard presentations? I'm kind of in the mood for a pimp my blog makeover. If anyone has any suggestions for me (display wise, content or category wise) please check me out at biodegradabledreams.wordpress.com. Thanks and pimp my blog.
Need help? Check out our Support site, then
Search Engine Terms
- Best method of adding search engine terms with blogs here at WP is via the use of correctly worded Category names. At least in my opinion. Most of my inbounds are via the category terms on my blog.
- As to the themes, we are only allowed the ones in the Presentation tab of our Dashboards but they are adding to them all the time.
Good luck,
Thanks Drmike. Much obliged.

This novel by esteemed Swiss writer Max Frisch is an exploration of the question: "Why don't we live when we know we're here just this one time, just one single, unrepeatable time in this unutterably magnificent world?!" This outcry against the emptiness of ordinary everyday life uttered by the hero of Frisch's book is countered by "an answer from the silence" he meets when face-to-face with death.
When An Answer from the Silence begins, the protagonist has just turned thirty and is engaged to be married and about to start work as a teacher. Frightened by the idea of settling down, he journeys to the Alps in a do-or-die effort to climb the unclimbed North Ridge, and by doing so prove he is not ordinary. But having reached the top he returns not in triumph, but in frostbitten shock, having come dangerously close to death.
This highly personal early novel reflects a crisis in Frisch's own life, and perhaps because of this intimate connection, he refused to allow it to be included in his Collected Works in the 1970s. Now available in English, this distinctive book will thrill fans of Frisch's other works.

Fulham Track Cedric!
And the third player suggested by the 'Daily Grapevine` today is the Lecce forward, Cedric Konan.
Konan, a striker, is linked with a move to West London after his current side, Lecce, were relegated with the striker remarking,
"I am 26 and a free agent, so there are contacts in the top leagues but I need to take a deep breath and make the right choice because I am not getting younger. I would love to play in England without a doubt."
Sorry, no price information available and the guy, to us, remains something of an unknown quantity!

Detroit is becoming a cultural symbol for the failed American Dream. In your series 'Detroit – Unbroken Down' you seem to be pointing to the small creative acts of individuals as an antidote to that notion.
Dave Jordano (DJ): It's no secret that Detroit has suffered a slow, steadily progressive, economic implosion. Hundreds of articles, newscasts, webzines, blogs, and photographers have reported on the city and essentially focused on the blight and its decades long tumble into decline. Recent census figures report that Detroit's population has now shrunk to 714,000, or roughly what it was 100 years ago. In the last decade alone its population has declined by more than 25%. In contrast, sixty years ago Detroit was the fourth largest city in the nation with a population of over two million inhabitants. What's left today is a city stretching 140 square miles with enough empty space that you could fit all of Boston or San Francisco within its vacant lots.
That being said, this work is a reaction to all the negative press that I felt Detroit has endured over past few years. It became apparent to me that what others were overlooking was the human condition, the heart of what a city is all about, the people left to cope with the harsh realities of a postindustrial town that has fallen on the hardest of times. It's the many small neighborhoods that make up a city, not the empty industrial plants and factories that corporations have abandoned and turned their backs on. Within these neighborhoods is a wonderful array of individuals and groups that make up the social, ethnic, and racial fabric of a city. As a photographer you might say that I'm interested in the cultural anthropology of what makes up the city.

What is your approach regarding choice of locales in Detroit?
DJ: There isn't an area of the city that I feel doesn't have potential for this project so I'm open minded as to where I find myself traveling. I do tend to be drawn to neighborhoods that are the most disadvantaged. These are the people who haven't a choice as to whether or not they can leave the city. Their situation is compliant on their economic condition, which precludes them from doing so. This doesn't necessarily create a negative, as it often forces creative solutions for those who live in these depressed areas, like planting community gardens, bartering for services, and setting up local help organizations, or just figuring out how to survive. These are the neighborhoods that intrigue me the most because they're most likely the hardest ones to find something positive about. Since the housing market collapse in 2008, the onset of abandonment in even the most affluent neighborhoods of Detroit is becoming evident, so there really isn't an area of the city that hasn't been affected by the long or short-term economic decline.

Describe your process of reacquaintance with your former hometown through this project?
DJ: I first came back to Detroit last spring in 2010 after a three-decade absence. My early life revolved around Detroit. Many of my relatives were also still living in Detroit back in the 60's and 70's. My parents, my aunts and uncles, cousins, my brothers, friends, all of them were in some capacity working within the auto industry. If you didn't, you were considered odd. The economic depth of GM, Ford, and Chrysler was so far reaching that practically everyone's livelihood depended on the "Big Three." It was a time of great economic prosperity for everyone. Not just for the white collar workers, but the blue collar trades people and the factory assembly line workers as well. We were all living the American Dream. This is how I remembered Detroit. It wasn't until I started reading all the negative press about the city that I took an interest again. Initially I was drawn to the same things that other photographers were interested in; the abandoned buildings, the empty lots and burned out houses, and the massive empty commercial and city structures. It took me a week of shooting this kind of subject matter to make me realize that I was just beating a dead horse. I was contributing nothing to a subject that everyone already knew much about, especially for those who had been living there for years. I didn't have a good feeling about this way of working as it felt as if I was, in a sense, betraying my hometown. To counter this, I started looking at all the various neighborhoods around the city and the people who still live in them. There was life here and movement, not just the death and decay that everyone was showing in the media. Perhaps there was also something of my earlier days here to rediscover, something in my collective memory that I could cling to. A fantasy thought for sure, but these early memories became the catalyst that got me thinking about this project and the direction it took. Of course Detroit has its problems and I don't profess to see the city through rose-colored glasses, but without some kind of counter balance there will never be an opportunity to see another side of the story.

We become connected to the sidewalks of these Detroit neighborhoods and see everyday life as acts of faith, and here I am also referring to your seriesArticles of Faith.
DJ: Yes, I think there is a direct correlation between these two bodies of work. The act, or feeling of faith can manifest itself in many forms, not just a religious one. Faith in ones own self can be as powerful as ones faith in God. What these works share in common is a sense of belonging brought together through common associations. They both are about people who come from similar socio, economic and urban backgrounds where life is hard and lived out day to day. The Chicago church project dealt with one specific form of how people practice their faith, while the Detroit work covers a broader range of experiences, but the underling message for both is one of hope and perseverance.

Do you think you will continue to expand this project into other facets of Motor City?
DJ: I have a few other ideas that could be linked together with this work, but what has caught my attention in the few trips I've made so far to Detroit is the unusually high number of white women on the streets engaged in prostitution. Their brazen attitude and overt behavior shows that they have little or no fear of the police. I've not seen this kind of behavior in other major cities, especially in broad daylight and on the level with which it occurs in Detroit. As it turns out they are all victims of substance abuse, almost all of them being heavily addicted to crack cocaine and heroin. The Detroit police force is severely short staffed and stretched to its limits. I believe they view prostitution as a low priority crime. As long as there isn't violence committed against law-abiding citizens, they tend to ignore it. This creates a lucrative environment for crack houses and dope dens that perpetuate the existence of addiction and prostitution. A lot has been documented about this subject. It's an age-old problem. My approach is to photograph these women in a way that your perception as to what and who they are is slightly thrown off. You're not sure what the meaning of the photograph is. In this sense they could be considered just normal people, perhaps a friend or relative, someone close to you or a loved one, but in reality someone caught in a very bad situation. I want to show that these women are just like you and me. I hope this approach will make the viewer realize that these women are victims, not criminals, and will help remind us of the fragility of our own demise by bringing awareness to how easy it is to lose one's self.
© Dave Jordano from the series 'Detroit. Unbroken Down', Lisa, 2010
In primarily what final form do you envision this project?
DJ: Good question, but first I have to complete the project, but in the end a book would be my first response, (don't we all want books published of our work), and then some exhibition opportunities for sure. The Internet is one of the most powerful and easily accessible ways to get your work out to the viewing public, and this is my method at the moment. Even though I consider "Unbroken Down" a work in progress, the urgency and timing of getting out what I had already completed seemed the more appropriate thing to do, considering what most people thought of what Detroit represented.

protruding dramatic tufa towers, only @ Mono Lake! Aug 13, 2014
The first time I saw a photo of Mono Lake's towering objects, I thought they were snow because of their glistening white color in the pictures. I found out later; these were not pile of snow, but one of geological features called "tufa." But wait, aren't these kinds of limestone supposed to be under the sea? My curiosity led us to visit this amazing state reserve!
Driving through CA 395 at the majestic slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains this is one destination I must say one should not miss. For travelers seeking Sierra Nevada's quiet and peaceful refuge, Mono Lake is a nature haven. Mono Lake is best for children and adults alike.
There are two interesting characteristics of Mono Lake; the alkaline content and the immerging out tufa like rocky aquatic stalagmites, around its shore or seemingly islands in the middle of the lake.
Mono Lake, considered to be one of the oldest (like million year old) inland sea in California (if not in the entire U.S.) is a body of salty water! With no outlet, this lake waters is even saltier than the ocean with salt getting higher so does its pH level.
The good news is the high concentration of saline waters in Mono Lake sustain generous food for a flock of birds – both migratory and resident. Growing algae in the lake provide nutrients to billions of brine shrimp and alkali flies, which results in ample food supplies for water birds. However, no fish can live in Mono Lake's salty, alkaline waters.
A pleasant family activity here is bird-watching, and I would say around the Fall Season is the best time because this is the peak season for migration of one million water birds like ducks, geese, gulls, and many more. Trivia: About 47% of the world migratory birds' population flocked at Mono Lake every Fall Season.
Another interesting feature of Mono Lake is the geological formation of limestone tufa towers that rise out of a shrinking lake. Minor features are volcanic islands, glaciated canyons and the youngest volcanic chain in North America.
Viewing the lake at the viewpoint or on the boardwalk, one cannot stop wondering why under the sea object like a tufa is seemingly parading either in the middle of the lake or by the lakeshore.
Here is a brief explanation: There was a time when Los Angeles County start to divert water (via huge water pipes of course) from Mono Lake to use as the city's source of water. Before a water diversion took place Mono Lake's natural shoreline used to be at 6,417 feet above sea level. Over time, the lake fell to only 6,372 feet, its lowest point, and that's in the '80s. One of the worst effects of the lake's fall is the immerging of tufa on surface! Affected too were microscopic algae, brine shrimp and the migratory birds as well.
In late 70s, a concerted effort from environmentalist and naturalist groups to conserve water levels. The process went very dramatic with court-hearing and all. Luckily, the effort went into effect and since then water levels have continuously risen to today's 6,382 feet, but it might take more decades for the lake to return to its pre-diversion size or water level.
In the meantime, let us enjoy the fascinating and almost mysterious, protruding, dramatic tufa towers.
I recommend taking a free walking tour which we did a couple of times on three different viewing shores. A stop at the visitor's center brushed up my children's lake knowledge about the tufa and Mono Lake's ecosystem. Free brochures are available at the information center.

I`ve been having trouble more often within me.Its not my ego or my thoughts though.
This trouble..it started when a voice deep yet faint,but deeply intelligent came to my ears.At first,i thought i was imagining things.
However,after days passed,this "voice"..it somehow became attached to me,and soon it started to teach me much about nature and the soul.At that time,my spirit guide couldn`t tell what was going on with me.
I began to suppress this intelligent-form.But,it felt as though i can`t reject its existence.It hardly annoys me.But,the fact that i`m rejecting it is so hard...to the extent where i`m starting to see weird things and doing weird things.
I don`t know what`s happening to me lately.And,i somehow believed that there is another soul in me,just carefully advising me.
Someone please help me.

Secret Streets
From High Finance to Hidden Chinatown
Tuesdays, 10:15 am - 5:00 pm, $99
Crossing the Brooklyn Bridge, we'll learn the story of this architectural wonder. Once in Brooklyn we'll find tranquility, colorful life, spectacular views, and some amazing history of an underground railroad stop. We'll discover how unique churches, a few tropical fruits, and a fabulous hotel made Brooklyn Heights one of New York's gems.
If the Brooklyn Bridge is New York's heart, the Manhattan Bridge is its pulse, which we ride over into busy Chinatown. On one street secret meetings were held to overthrow the dynasties of China. On another, an alley leads to the site of one of New York's strangest gang fights. Dim Sum cafes, street signs stacked one behind the other, and Chinese funeral parlors-they're all there.
Our final stop has us coming face to face with our ever changing city. Here we ride through a thin strip of territory that was once a very big "Little Italy." As waiters serving pasta and saltimbocca from open air cafes pause to salute us, we realize that only one floor above, other residents are burning incense and setting fruits aside as offerings to Buddha.
Our return to the bike shop allows us time to reflect and realize something very special. Wow, we've just conquered the Big Apple!
The $99 cost includes the bike, a helmet, the licensed tour guide in front and "sweep" in back (food and drink extra; $10 less with your own bike).

I most confess I am far from a JANGO buff, after all this is the BOBA page, so most of my observations are drawn form the films and someof the stuff that is mentioned in the BOUNTY HUNTER TRILOGY and the more recent TRAVISS stuff.
I will concede that JANGO had functional armor, he has all the same stuff as BOBA on the games and all, minus the rocket launcher, which is a fundamental difference. BOBA is ready for a ship encounter, now JANGO did have the wrist rockets.
I still can't get away from JANGO's showmanship thing and am glad you are in a greement with me on that point.
Sure he fought OBI, and up and coming JEDI to a draw, but he went down fast with only getting MACE's ebony skin a little warm. True, BOBA didn't get his JEDI stomp on in the films, but other than freezing HAN there wasn't much he did do.
When BOBA got the upgrade to the BESKAR armor, it was intentionally painted to look more worse for the wear as BOBA didn't want anyone to know he was wearing new and improved kit. I believe that BOBA kept the vagabond look in large part to throw off his foes and give him a slight edge by them under estimating him. BOBA seems a guy who shave inches anywhere he can to gain the mile advantage.

I love all the vistaprint stuff. I'm just not sure I have the patience to place that many orders, lol! :-)
Corrie's Wedding Planning Thread!!! LOTS OF PICS and DIY!!!

Thanks!!! The canvas totes were from Vistaprint, and they look just as nice in person as the do on the website. The canvas is nice and sturdy and they are a great size and I ordered the small, but the have two other sizes (but only the small is free). If you use this link (vistaprint.com/winter2011) you can get them for free (which includes personalization), you just have to order one at a time and pay for shipping. Thankfully we have a small amount of guests traveling with us (16 in total), so we only had a total of 9 rooms on the cruise, so I ordered these for the women and nike sackpacks for the men.

Thanks!!! I know what you mean about the patience... Thankfully I started early and over a period of a few months I placed the orders. But we have a small group traveling with us on the cruise and I am making one bag per room, so I only had to place 9 or so orders.

Everything is beautiful. You did a great job. My wedding is in September cruising to Montego Bay and the wedding will be on the beach at the Resort of Royal DeCameron. How much was it to ship your wedding items over ? I am very interested in that part because I have so much stuff to travel with. Congratulations !
Posted 13 April 2012 - 08:49 AM
Wow your stuff is amazing! I don't know which I like more the painted shells or the painted shoes!
Posted 13 April 2012 - 04:08 PM
I love the seashells and starfish...the colours look great!! And thats a great idea as MrsTgun suggested with turning it into a magnet favor.....all y'all are so talented. Great DIY'n
Thanks everyone for the comments. I am back with more...So I have been busy painting...painting and more painting Only two more days before I have to ship everything to St. Thomas...
Here are some sample shells that will be decorating the table
I was going for silver, white and different shades of blue. I based coated the shells and starfish with a Martha Stewart Pearl paint, and then use the Martha Stewart glitter paint on some of them so we had variety.
I also purchased a clam shell at Hobby Lobby and painted it for a ring dish. I wanted to soften the dark purple on the dish, so I used an acrylic pearl white color an mixed it with a little bit of a clear base coat to soften the color of the shell. I had some extra ribbon and raffia and used the glue gun to secure everything with a pearl on the top!
me playing with my rings
And last but not least..our sand dollar escort cards. I had other intentions...like writing the 2012, and St. Thomas on the actual sand dollar so it could serve as an ornament, but it didn't work out so great with the pens I had (they bled and it looked terrible, thankfully I bought extra sand dollars just in case I screwed up), so I had to scrap the writing idea because of time and just went with making a name card for everyone and attaching it with ribbon.

What type of order did you use from VistaPrint for your luggage tags where you could up load a different photo for each tag? Where did you get your star fish from?

I've never seen shoes like that before....neat!
Posted 28 April 2012 - 07:52 AM
Very creative, esp. with the shoes!
Posted 12 May 2012 - 09:48 AM
Sorry for taking so long to get back on the thread! Since St. Thomas is a US territory, the items were sent USPS and the rates were no different then shipping inside the continental US, so it was quite cheap about $40 for two heavy packages. I shipped my items about 2 weeks in advance, and I wish I had sent them a little bit earlier b/c they took longer to get there then expected. However, we were also getting to our wedding destination by cruise ship so we left a week before the wedding and my items had not yet arrived in St. Thomas by the time we got on the ship, so I was a little nervous that they had gotten lost. But everything worked out and they made it there safely.

The Worlds most Successful Trader -
Paul Rotter - aka "the Eurex Flipper"
Trader Monthly Magazine
interview January 2005
platform Paul Rotter uses. "TT's MD Trader is the fastest, most reliable scalping
tool available on the market. I would not use anything else. "
-Paul Rotter, Trader, who averages 150,000 round trips a day on Eurex.
Paul Rotter - aka "the
Eurex Flipper"
Paul is arguably
the single largest and most successful individual futures trader on
planet Earth, executing trades on the Eurex exchange primarily in the
Bund, but also in the Bobl and Schatz interest rate futures. He trades
between 200-300,000 round turns daily using the X_Trader platform, and
clearing through GNI Touch.
Every trader can aspire to imitate
success as he is proof that it IS possible for a small trader to build
on his success and grow into the biggest most active speculator around.
introduction (translated from German language interview with Traders Magazine):
Paul Rotter has made it - he belongs to the best traders in the world
and counts as a real big player. he usually does 150,000 rt/d, sometimes
up to 250,000 mostly in BUND/BOBL/SCHATZ futures. in the hall of fame of
celeb EUREX players he's top notch end even leaves Tom Baldwin (bonds)
or Lewis Borsellino (S&P) behind. he had to work hard to make it. he
blew up in the beginning of his career, which was painful but also
educational - he learned his lesson and with lots of research, seeking
improvement all the time, he became the man.
q: was there any key event that brought you into the game?
a: no, no key event like 'buying my first stock'. took part in some
trading contest while at school.
q: how did you get to professional trading?
a: when I was apprentice in a German bank I had to work on the DTB (now
EUREX) execution desk for several weeks. this attracted me a lot. during
that time I was doing gamble trades on my private account, losing pretty
much all of it. when it was deeply in the red, I had to leave the bank
but shortly after, I was allowed to start trading in a Japanese bank. I
was very lucky here, since I was allowed to gain knowledge through
learning by doing.
q: did the bank give you any mentor?
a: not, I didn't have one. in the beginning I was exchanging ideas with
the chief trader Ajiasaka, who was constantly profitable. he sometimes
even hedged the positions of his boss, when he thought that his boss was
wrong. I had many conversations about market psychology, which proved to
be very helpful, especially after bad losing days.
q: how was your trading back then? have you been constantly
profitable from the very beginning?
a: I was doing 100 - 150 round turns a day after a short time... I had no losing
month with the first 3 years of my trading. later on with bigger
position sizes i took occasional hits, especially after EUREX allowed
terminals in the US and big players like Harris Brumfield / Chicago were
entering the field.
q: there is a saying that every trader has to completely blow up
his account at least once before he can become successful. what did you
learn out of it?
a: like I earlier said, my private account saw some bad times during my
apprentice in the bank, although I must admit, that back then I had
absolutely no idea that there was something like 'risk-management'.
later on I found 7-digit losses to be cumbering. on day I had a blackout
and after losing 2,5 million € I was seriously thinking about stopping.
still had enough capital left to live without having to worry about
financial issues and i just wouldn't want to take those psychological
hits anymore. after taking 4 weeks off, I regained my motivation and
returned in the ring. I was able to make up the loss in a relatively
short period of time, so that I came out stronger than before.
q: has this changed the views of the market in a way?
a: with the experience of bigger losing days coupled with good phases
right afterwards, I'm not so sensible for losing days anymore. I know
that I can make it back. this has lead to being able to switch off the
screens on a day with medium/small losses more easily, instead of
forcing the way back into positive territory.
q: what are your strengths as a world-class trader and where are
the differences between you and other traders?
a: it's the ability to get more aggressive in winning phases, taking
bigger risks, and scaling back in losing times. this is against human
nature. the best thing is to have somebody around who is neutral to
trading, that switches the terminals off, when a certain loss level has
been reached for the day.
q: you are known as a order book-scalper, could you please
explaining to our readers what you are doing and what your strategies
look like? what is your tactic?
a: it's some kind of market making where you place buy and sell orders
simultaneously, making very short-term trading decisions b/c of certain
events in the order book (level2). for example, I usually have lots of
orders in different markets at the same time, pretty close to the last
traded price. the resulting trades are usually a zero sum game, but I
get a pretty good feeling for what is going on and then ultimately can
make a decision for a larger trade.
q: how long are you usually in a position?
a: since I do trend plays very seldom and actually scalp the market, i
constantly get fills in different markets on both sides which can cause
constantly changing positions for hours. sometimes i change my opinion
several times within a couple of minutes, which is not pretty hard for
me, since I'm only looking for the next 3-5 ticks.
during your professional career, have you always been a scalper or did
you try other strategies (momentum/swing) as well?
a: yes, I have always been a scalper, but I am adjusting my strategies
to different market situations all the time. on volatile days I of
course have less orders in the market and do more 'single trades',
although I usually hold them only for a couple of seconds.
q: your strategies only work on electronic exchanges?
a: yes, b/c you cannot handle that much orders in a pit, looking for
counterparties and so on. computer exchanges grant fast order flow and
are not as easy to manipulate.
q: as a scalper, are you trying to run stops?
a: well, yes, but because of the increase of liquidity in the last
couple of years, the fast spikes caused by stops are not happening that
often anymore. apart from that, that stops often are not where you would
suppose them to be, because the other market participants are not silly
either or learned their lesson in the past.
q: what role plays risk-management in your trading?
a: i set daily goals for my p&l, whereas the most important thing is
the stopping limit, the maximum loss I take, before I switch off the
screens. my biggest positions are 5 digit number of contracts. I don't
use any specific money-management rules.
q: what are you doing when a position goes against you? are you using
stop-loss orders?
a: I strictly close my position when they start going against me. with
bigger positions this is not that easy, because I move the market
against me, which could cause other traders to get in the same situation
like me, which could accelerate the move. however, most of the time I am
able to make some of the losses up, b/c I know what caused that move and
therefore take the opposite position.
q: why don't you have any problems with closing out the position and even
taking the opposite direction? shouldn't a trader stick to his opinion?
a: no, definitely not. an analyst or some kind of guru has to stick to
it, but as a trader you should have no opinion. the more opinion you
have, the harder gets it to get out of a losing position.
q: what role plays market psychology?
a: I constantly try to read the psychology of the market and base my
decisions on it.
q: how do you handle distracting thoughts and emotions?
a: when it gets really bad - taking a cold shower or jumping in a cold
swimming pool.
q: how do you prepare for the trading day? do you follow any
routines or do you take it as it comes?
a: before the open I check all the economic reports that are about to be
released, speeches of central bankers - simply anything that could move
the market. then I try to define important levels in the markets I
trade. I do this through my own analysis and through reading analyst
commentaries. that's how I get a picture of the market and its
important levels. I am not interested in opinions of other market
participants as this would influence my own opinion.
q: any kind of mental preparation?
a: nothing specific. actually I am motivated all the time...I see
trading more as a sporting challenge and try to erase the thought of
the money.
q: how many hours do you spend in front of your screens?
a: usually 5 hours, that's when i trade actively...in case of special
events i can be up to 11 hours
q: isn't it hard to spend that much time in front of your pc's?
how do you stay concentrated for such a long time?
a: that is what my Japanese colleagues asked themselves as well...well I
take it as some kind of game where i forget the time. therefore the real
troubles are more physical (eyes) than psychological.
q: what do you do to calm down / relax?
a: i do lots of sports and take lots of vacations.
q: what equipment do you use?
a: MD-trader from TT, Reuters, Bloomberg, CQG and a USD-squawkbox.
q: why a USD-squawk box?
a: i use it because €/$ had some effects on the interest rates over the
last couple of months. those effects change, right now it influences oil
prices and the DAX.
q: what timeframes are you using on your charts?
a: usually 5- - 30-min charts for trendlines and indicators. I prefer
p&f charts because they give me a clearer view on patterns (triple
tops). for indicators I like the CCI because it also shows the
volatility of the markets.
q: do you think is it possible for a single player to manipulate
the market?
a: no, in my opinion a single player cannot influence the market around
the clock. there are always several big players in the market. take the
BUND for example - there are one million contracts traded a day. when a
trend starts out of the blue with only slight pullbacks, I could trade
against it, but with no effect. I couldn't stop the market from going up,
because there would be more money needed that I could bring in. apart
from that, so-called 'Analytics' computerized scalpers have made it
tougher for me lately. as far as I know they are analyzing the
behavior in the order book and create a fully automated system. since
they act in several markets at the same time, I think these computer
freak come from the fully automated arbitrage- and spread-trading.
q: what has one to do if he wants to become a scalper?
a: he has to watch the order book for a very long time.
when asked for advice for the readers, Rotter says that everything can
happen all the time, so you better have your toilet close to your
trading desk.
Q: What are your strengths as a world-class trader and what are the
differences between you and other traders?
A: I have the ability to get more aggressive in winning phases, to take
bigger risks, and to scale back during losing times. This is contrary to
human nature. The best thing is to have somebody around who is neutral
to trading, who switches the screens off when a certain level of loss
has been reached for the day.
Q: What role does risk management play in your trading?
A: I set a daily goal for my profit and loss, with the most important
thing being the stopping limit, the maximum loss I take, before I switch
off the screens.
Q: Shouldn't a trader stick to his opinion?
A: No, definitely not. An analyst or some kind of guru has to stick to
it, but a trader should have no opinion. The stronger your opinion, the
harder it is to get out of a losing position.
Q: Do you do any kind of daily mental preparation?
A: Nothing specific. Actually I am motivated all the time... I see
trading more as a sporting challenge and try to eliminate thoughts of
Q: How many hours do you spend in front of your screens?
A: Usually 5 hours, when I trade actively... in case of special events
it can be up to 11 hours.
Q: Isn't it hard to spend that much time in front of your PC? How do you
maintain your concentration for such a long time?
A: That is something my Japanese colleagues asked themselves as well. I
think of it as a kind of game and I forget the time, so the real trouble
is more physical (eye strain) than psychological.
Q: What does one have to do to become a scalper?
A: He has to watch the order book for a very long time.

Fertility Drugs to Have Twins
Last updated on Sep 07, 2012
by Dr. Renee Hanton, MD
Do you have double vision, visions of twins in your mind? If you're in need of fertility drugs, check out the best fertility drugs to increase your chances of having twins.
There are couples who would give anything to be able to conceive a child, and there are couples who just want to make sure they would have twins. Luckily for both cases, the same drugs that fight fertility can create the premises for a pregnancy with twins. Here are the four best known drugs that favor pregnancies with twins. Claim Your 20 Free Pregnancy Tests – Click Here
Clomiphene is one of the best fertility drugs for getting pregnant and having twins and can represent a great help in the conception process, especially in cases of irregular or no ovulation and congenital or chronic problems that may represent an impediment for a healthy pregnancy. The pills can be administrated before turning to assisted reproductive treatments like the in vitro fertilization, in order to stimulate the production of eggs. Clomiphene can also help men prevent and cure hormonal imbalances that may decrease sperm quantity and quality, as well as the motility of the spermatozoa.
Parlodel is usually administrated in oral form and small doses, for a period of 5 days every month. It helps to lower the level of the prolactin hormone that inhibits the ovulation process and stimulates the follicle stimulating hormone (FSH), assisting the ovaries to release one or more mature eggs, depending on how often the woman ovulates in a normal period.
Pergonal is one of the most popular fertility drugs to have twins and, after a complete treatment, it enables the hypothalamus (the part of the brain that balances basic functions, such as body temperature) to release the luteinizing hormone (LH), a very good indicator that the ovaries are ready to enter the fecundation stage and about to drop the egg in the fallopian tube. If a healthy sperm meets the egg on its way to the uterus, the pregnancy usually occurs and the couple's prayers are answered.
Its effect is due to the high menotrophin content, and is reduced mostly to the impact on the FSH and LH hormones, essential for the well functioning of the female reproductive organs. Humegon is known to stimulate the follicular maturation in infertile women and to trigger the secretion of gonadal steroids. In addition, it is successfully used in assisted reproduction programs and often combined with Pregnyl for a synergetic effect.
Given the fact that these drugs act mostly at hormonal level, it is very important for every treatment to follow a thorough medical examination and the doctor's recommendation. By their ability to encourage the ovaries to release more than one egg each cycle, your chances of twins are much higher with these fertility drugs.

Finding the Equation of a Globe
Date: 6/29/96 at 0:43:49 From: jae berry Subject: Finding the Equation of a Globe I am Imola Lajos, an 18 years old Hungarian exchange student. In 18 days I have to take a math exam of two years material I never saw before. There are some problematic examples from 3D analytic geometry (I had a course already, so it is not totally new): 1) There is a globe that has 2 points given, P(-14/3/8) , Q(2/3/-16); the center of the globe C is on the line g... X = (3 -2 13) + t(-2 1 -5) (this is the only way I could write down the vectors) I know that the center is where lines g and s cross where s is the line of symmetry of PQ in the point of H(-6/3/-4), I know that the normal vector is (-2 0 -1) and I can put up an equation for line s, but than I am stuck, I can't figure out the equation of the globe. 2) 3 points of the globe are given: P(1/5/9), Q(4/14/-3) , r(13/2/0) radius is also given r=21 I know I have to use the equation (x-cx)2+(y-cy)2+(z-cz)2=r2 (2=square), (c indicates center)...but finding the equation of the globe is a miracle again. 3) Radius r = square root of 27 The globe has a point A(X/0/0) with the plane e...x+y-z=4 together. The question is once again the equation of the globe. I could only come up with 2 equations for 3 unknown, so it didn't help. Thank you for your help and I am sorry if my English language in math is so poor, but my math book is written in German, that is my second language anyhow. Thanks, Imola
Date: 8/16/96 at 14:16:40 From: Doctor James Subject: Re: Finding the Equation of a Globe Just to make it all easier to see, I will denote all vectors as R=(x_1,x_2,x_3), where "x_1" is x sub one (or x-one). Also, x^2 means x to the power of 2. 1. If you have the equation for the line s, this can be solved by setting the two lines equal to each other. That is, if s = (a_0,b_0,c_0) + t(a,b,c), then set up the equation (a_0,b_0,c_0) + t(a,b,c) = (3,-2,13) + t(-2,1,-5), and solve for t. Then the point (3,-2,13) + t(-2,1,-5) is the center. You then need to find the radius, which you can do by finding the euclidean distance between the center point and a point on the surface you are given. if the center c = (x_0,y_0,z_0), the radius r is ( (x_0-2)^2 + (y_0-3)^2 + (z_0+16) )^(1/2). Then the equation for the circle is (x-x_0)^2 + (y-y_0)^2 + (z-z_0)^2 = r^2 2. Again, let the center be c = (x_0,y_0,z_0). Then the center must be the same distance from each point, so (x_0-1)^2 + (y_0-5)^2 + (z_0-9)^2 = (x_0-4)^2 + (y_0-14)^2 + (z_0+3)^2 = (x_0-13)^2 + (y_0-2)^2 + (z_0-0)^2 = Radius^2 There you have three equations for three unknowns. To solve these, you can expand out each line. The x_0^2's should cancel, with the y_0^2's and z_0^2's. The equation for the circle is then (x-x_0)^2 + (y-y_0)^2 + (z-z_0)^2 = Radius^2 3. I'm not quite sure what you are asking here. Specifically, I don't know what the plane you stated is for. If the center lies on the plane, then you are looking for an (x_0,y_0,z_0) such that x_0-y_0+z_0=4, and (X-x_0)^2 + (y_0)^2 + (z_0)^2 = 27. However, unless X=sqrt(27), you'll either end up with no possible spheres or an infinite number of spheres. (In fact, there will be a circle on the plane of possible centers of the sphere.) So either I'm completely wrong, I didn't understand the question, or the question is likely to be unsolvable. -Doctor James, The Math Forum Check out our web site! http://mathforum.org/dr.math/

Obama making a mistake by interfering Kashmir: US expertJanuary 6th, 2009 - 8:32 pm ICT by ANI
Washington, Jan. 6 (ANI): US President-elect Barack Obama has made his first big foreign-policy mistake in pledging U.S. intervention in the Kashmir dispute between India and Pakistan, believes noted South Asian expert Selig S. Harrison.
In article for the Washington Times, Harrison says that in announcing plans to send a special envoy to Pakistan and India to discuss the Kashmir issue, Obama not only will confront bitter opposition to U.S. intervention from India, which occupies the prized Kashmir Valley, but also will face resistance from Pakistan''s new president, Asif Ali Zardari.
The rationale for intervention is that fear of India requires Pakistan to strengthen its western front in Afghanistan by supporting the Taliban. But the reason for Pakistani support of the Taliban and jihadi forces in Kashmir is that its military and intelligence agencies are riddled with Islamists, Harrison says.
By questioning the Indian control of the Kashmir Valley, he warns that the United States would strengthen jihadi forces in both Islamabad and Srinagar.
More importantly, it would undermine improving U.S.-India relations, he adds.
What Washington should do instead is support Mr. Zardari''s strategy for peace with India, he says.
The appointment of a high-level regional envoy in South Asia to promote cooperation among India, Pakistan and Afghanistan in combating al Qaeda and its allies would be desirable in the aftermath of Mumbai. But Kashmir indeed would be a tar pit for such an envoy. A U.S. Kashmir initiative, however veiled, would poison relations between New Delhi and Washington, he says, adding that Obama will learn, if he persists, that Kashmir is not a territorial issue.

Getting Closer to a GirlVisitor's Question from a 13-15 year old Male
Hi, I need some help. Evers since about a few weeks ago I can't get this certain girl out of my mind. She broke up with her boyfriend and I'm not sure if she still wants him or not (but that isn't a part of my question). I met her this year during the start of high school and she seems perfect for me. But I'm just too shy to want to say anything to her or do anything with her. We are pretty good friends and we talk a lot during school, but when it comes to online messaging or whatever, I just run out of things to talk about. If you could give me some tips on maybe talking in general, and getting over my shyness, that would be pretty awesome.
RomanceClass.com Advice
If you can comfortably talk with a girl then you are not shy with her.

5 Things We Learned from the San Francisco 49ers Preseason OpenerAugust 14, 2012
After an impressive 2011 season that ended one game short of the Super Bowl and an offseason that included key free-agent signings at multiple positions, it's only fair to assume the arrow is pointing up for the San Francisco 49ers.
On defense, Vic Fangio will get all 11 starters back. The only starter from last year who won't be starting is Parys Haralson. He will be replaced by the outstanding edge-rusher Aldon Smith. Smith is coming off an incredible rookie campaign that saw him tally 14 sacks.
Offensively, expect the approach to be similar, but not quite the same. Look for the 49ers to utilize their offseason additions. Randy Moss will try and give quarterback Alex Smith a consistent vertical threat, while rookie A.J. Jenkins might be best suited for the slot wide receiver job because of his good route running and ability to find the weak spot in opposing defenses zones.
San Francisco's margin of victory over the Vikings on Saturday night was a lot wider than the score indicated.
1. Chris Owusu Has a Shot
It's not logical to think the 49ers will keep more than six wide receivers on their active roster once the regular season starts, so it poses the question: Who will the six be?
One would think Randy Moss, Michael Crabtree, Mario Manningham and A.J. Jenkins are locks to make the final roster. Will either Kyle Williams or Tedd Ginn get the axe in favor of an undrafted player out of Stanford?
Hard to imagine, but after Owusu's first preseason performance, it might be hard to keep him off the final 53. Coming out of college, he was always known as a speed guy that can make things happen when he gets the ball in his hands.
Take a look at this 14-yard catch and run where his quickness is on full display. He caught the ball away from his body and turned up field to pick up 10 additional yards after the catch.
Leading the team in receptions and reception yards in your first live game is a nice way to see a bump in reps and playing time the following week.
2. The Run Game Is Even Better Than Last Year
With the additions of Brandon Jacobs and LaMichael James, the 49ers rushing attack has turned into a four-headed monster.
Averaging 127.8 yards rushing per game last season was good enough for eighth-best in the NFL. There's no reason why that number won't jump even higher in 2012. Those two backs alone should be able to grind out at least an extra 15 yards a game, which would then put them in the top five based on last year's numbers.
Every running back that touched the ball in Saturday night's game had at least one double-digit run. Jacobs has undoubtedly taken over as the short-yardage back. All of his carries came when the offense needed two yards or less to pick up the first down.
Even though Frank Gore had the night off, the backfield exploded for 160 yards rushing on 32 carries. Going forward, it will be interesting to see how carries will be distributed once Gore enters back into the lineup.
3. Coaches Weren't Pleased With the First-Team Defense
The Vikings managed only six points from their first-team offense, yet that was six points too many, according to defensive coordinator Vic Fangio.
He was mostly disappointed by the unacceptable busted coverage on Stephen Burton's 52-yard haul, but the poor tackling on Toby Gerhart was a little concerning as well. On Gerhart's 16-yard toss off right tackle, I counted three missed tackles on that play alone.
Here's what Fangio had to say about the first-team defense's play:
"I just think we got a little full of ourselves."
In terms of what happened on the busted coverage, it appeared as if Carlos Rodgers was expecting help over the top from safety Dashon Goldson. At the end of the play, you can see Rodgers turn his head and say something to Goldson as he walks by.
However, there is very little reason to worry about the 49ers' first-team defense. The biggest concern should be the health of outside linebacker Aldon Smith.
4. The Second-Team Defense Picked Up the Slack
The second-team defense appeared to have every thing in order, as Minnesota failed to put any points on the board once they entered the game.
Eric Bakhtiari and Perrish Cox were two players who jumped out at me. Bkhtiari had the most impressive stat line, as he finished the game with two sacks and two quarterback hits. If backup quarterback Joe Webb wasn't so slippery, he might have even notched one more sack.
Perrish Cox showed really nice athleticism on his pick at the end of the fourth quarter. The ball was poorly thrown by McLeod Bethel-Thompson, but Cox made a nice break on the ball and laid out to secure the interception.
To go along with his interception, he added four tackles, one tackle for loss and one pass deflection.
If Bakhtiari keeps impressing, he could move ahead of Cam Johnson for the backup left outside linebacker position. Not to mention he plays special teams and always seems to be around the ball when he is on the field in any capacity.
5. Scott Tolzien's the No. 3 Quarterback
Tolzien's consistent play all throughout the third quarter and into the fourth probably earned him another week as the third quarterback. And it doesn't seem as if Josh Johnson is hot on his trail either.
Johnson had this to say in response of Tolzien entering the game before him and the unofficial depth chart pecking order:
Since I've gotten here, it's pretty much been that order. All I really care about is the opportunity to go out and compete and show what I can do. Whatever happens is going to happen. It's out of my control … All I want to do is go out there, lead the offense, put good things on tape and let the chips fall where they fall. That's the NFL.
Tolzien was 10-of-13 for for 84 yards with one interception. On the interception, the pass-rush was in his face, and it appeared as if his arm was hit, which caused the pass to wobble in the air and eventually land in Solomon Elimimian's hands.
San Francisco plays Houston Saturday night, so it will be interesting to see if Johnson's reps increase or dwindle to almost nothing.

There are many ways you can help children and their families get the care they need.
Below are a brief descriptions of research projects in each discipline. Interdisciplinary research is ongoing.
Medicine is currently conducting an ongoing investigation on estimated total health care expenditures incurred by children and adolescents with chronic pain disorders. This study also identifies the determinants of health care expenditures for this patient population. In recent years, the United States has been facing the challenge of skyrocketing health care expenditures; therefore, such information can help developing optimal intervention strategies and appropriate health policies.
The Pain and Analgesia Imaging Neuroscience (P.A.I.N.) Group is conducting several NIH-funded MRI studies to examine differences in brain and spinal cord structure and networks in children and adolescents diagnosed with conditions typically associated with chronic and/or neuropathic pain. Please visit their website for more information.
Psychology research generally focuses on assessing the effectiveness of the PPRC's intensive, multidisciplinary approach to pain treatment. More specifically, we are interested in understanding how our program impacts patients' pain, functioning, and psychological well-being in the short- and long-term. We also seek to understand factors that may impact patient and family treatment response in order inform continued program development/improvement.
The physical therapists at the PPRC at Boston Children's Hospital are currently spearheading validation and outcomes studies to examine the effectiveness of treatment provided at the Mayo Family Pediatric Pain Rehabilitation Center for patients with chronic lower extremity pain, chronic headaches and functional abdominal pain.
The occupational therapists at the PPRC at Boston Children's Hospital are currently in the process of recreating their evaluation. We will begin validation studies on several new measures we have been developing specifically for this population in the near future.
The current research focus of the therapeutic recreation program at the PPRC is the dynamic leisure time usage of youth with chronic pain. This includes study of their peer-to-peer relationships, attitudes towards recreation and current time usage patterns for preferred activities.
