Drug rehab programs are located throughout the country from Alaska to Florida and California to Maine. You will discover many of the drug treatment centers operate totally independently from any major hospital, psychiatric facilities or any of the primary health care facilities. Do not be surprised to find many different drug treatment plans as well, long term live in, inpatient treatment and the very short term outpatient plans. Unfortunately, too many time the drug rehab programs will be determined by your insurance company or even you ability to pay.
What type of drug rehab program will be best for you and provide you with the best results and success of recovery. Many people feel more at home in a private setting and should probably choose one of the more private programs. While others, my feel a stronger need for a more traditional medical hospital and feel more out of harm's way with the help of a full service hospital.
Dual-diagnosis is something you should keep in mind. If you are suffering form a psychological problem as well as your addiction to drugs. You may need to consider a psychiatric hospital associated with a drug rehab center. Being able to manage ailments, your drug addiction and your psychological adversities will greatly increase the probability of your complete recovery.
Conquering your drug addiction will require a safe and secure facility for you to combat your drug problems. You will find many different approaches to the treatment of your drug dependency. Many of the hospital programs will follow a more traditional medical plan to treat your addiction. Physician will often prescribe medication to reduce the physical affects of drug detox. Methadone, a synthetic narcotic similar to morphine, may be given to help block the effects of addictive drugs and help reduce your cravings.
Alternative or natural rehab programs are becoming more the vogue within the industry. Here they use limited medical intervention and focus more on the natural techniques. Diet and nutrition, breathing exercise combined with Yoga, meditation and many other new techniques for combating the symptoms of your detox and withdrawal.
Rehab programs today, fall within two extremes and use a plethora of professionals and peer counselors to help you gain control over the many problem areas of your life that may have led to you using drugs in the first place. Think for a minute about the connection of you body and mind. The ability to work with nutritionists and other professional who specialize in drug addiction will make your road to recovery much easier and with more hope of success. Learning coping strategies will be a major part of your blueprint to sober living.
Choosing one of the many drug rehab programs will be a major decision of your lifetime. Right now you are probably in a state of confusion because of your addiction. Seeking the help you need is the right thing to do. Make an informed decision by researching the all the drug rehab treatment programs being considered and asking any questions you may have about the facility or the treatment plan being reviewed.

When one wants to list various cases/classes/categories/types of objects in a string of conjunctions, is it preferable (or even mandatory) to keep on using (the same) preposition in front of each one them?
Moreover, does singular or plural form of the word "case", "class", "category" make any difference in the previous question?
In the present article, we study the case of X, of Y and of Z objects.
(in this example, as in most of the ones I have in mind, it is the preposition "of" which is relevant to my question).
We study the cases/classes of X and of Y objects.
We study the cases/classes of X and Y objects.
Although it is rather clear that, in the singular case, the absence of "of" in later conjuncts may lead to a logical confusion (e.g., mistakenly taken as the one class/case of objects which are both X and Y), when it comes to plural of the words "case", "class", etc., this might not be an issue. Still, there might anyway be a rule in the plural setting as well.

Known as the Phoenix Hotel until 1952 when it was renamed The Wool Exchange Hotel, reflecting its cliental of local wool workers. In 2006 the Wood family took ownership, investing significantly in refurbishing and modernising this local icon. They also reverted the property to its original name signifying change but retaining the hotels history.
Situated on the corner of Moorabool and Corio Streets (Westfield side entry) the Phoenix is perfectly placed. Providing dining from 12pm in the modern bistro or comfortable alfresco area, separate function facilities, and along with our comfortable bar and Tabaret it's the perfect place to catch up with friends and family.
As you try your luck, sample a drink from the Tabaret Bar or enjoy a tea and coffee from the complimentary cafe bar.
Nestled in the Newtown's leafy Skene Street, Gold Diggers Arms may well be 'the last of the true neighbourhood pubs' in Geelong. In time honoured tradition the 'Diggers' has become the local for many, with their next generations following suit and making it their local of choice too.
It all began for the Gold Diggers Arms in 1854 when William Lindsay was granted licence to the establishment. The population of Geelong was just over 20,000 people. Now, 150 years later, Newtown is an integral part of Geelong with sporting clubs, schools and shops.
It is one of the great pleasures of pub going, that every so often you find a pub that is as near perfection as possible. Perfection is of course subjective, which is why it's so important that pubs are as individual as their customers. Finding a pub that ticks all your boxes is worth shouting about, and that is what we will be striving to achieve. In moving forward to the future of the Diggers we want to continue finding the things that make the perfect pub.
A fine gastropub located in an historic building, serving delicious meals and a wide range of drinks, quietly tucked away next to Fyansford Reserve. Sunday roasts are a speciality.

Peach and Berry Cobbler Recipe
|Peach and Berry Cobbler, with a topping made from whole wheat flour.
It doesn't take much time looking through the recipe archives over on the left to realize that I'm a lot more into salad than I am dessert. It was actually a savory dish that led me to this recipe. When Farmgirl posted her recipe for Savory Tomato Pesto Pie a while back, she mentioned that she had been reading The Sonoma Diet Book and it had a good recipe for Peachy Berry Cobbler. I was interested, since one of the desserts I do love is peach cobbler and since the recipe uses whole wheat flour, which is a "good carb" for South Beach dieters. Farmgirl offered to send me the recipe, and I took her up on it.
Peach and Berry Cobbler
(6-8 servings, adapted from The Sonoma Diet Book, with thanks to Farmgirl for sharing the recipe.)
Topping Ingredients:
1 cup whole wheat pastry flour
1 1/2 tsp. baking powder
1/4 tsp. ground ginger or cinnamon (I used ginger)
1/8 tsp. salt
2 T butter
1/3 cup plain fat-free yogurt (I used 4 oz. low carb vanilla yogurt)
1 egg, slightly beaten
(I would add 2 T or more Splenda or Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated to the topping next time)
(optional, additional ground ginger or cinnamon to sprinkle over topping)
Filling Ingredients:
1/3 cup cold water
4 tsp. cornstarch (I used arrowroot starch, which is better for South Beach)
2 T Splenda, Stevia-in-the-Raw Granulated Sweetener or honey
3 cups peeled, sliced peaches
2 cups fresh or frozen unsweetened rasberries or blueberries
(next time I would use 5 cups peaches or 5 cups berries)
Preheat oven to 400F/205C.
Made with whole wheat pastry flour, Splenda, arrowroot starch, and low carb yogurt, this would be acceptable for the South Beach Diet, phase two or three. Even if you used cornstarch, the amount per serving is very small. For phase two, I would be careful to limit serving sizes.
Nutritional Information?
I chose the South Beach Diet to manage my weight partly so I wouldn't have to count calories, carbs, points, or fat grams, but if you want nutritional information for a recipe, I recommend entering the recipe into Calorie Count, which will calculate it for you.

I guess it was bound to happen– hair extensions are not just for celebrities anymore. While pricey extensions used to be a well-kept secret, celebrities are now even talking openly about using them. (On a side note, I found it interesting that hair extensions also get "color"– makes sense that your extensions should match your own hair color–but still it was an eye-opening sight to see such locks on a head form in the VIP room at the Rita Hazan Salon in NYC. I also wondered if you had to belong to a VIP head, to get your extensions their own appointment in the VIP room…but I digress).
But yet I was still surprised when the latest Cabbage Patch Kid arrived this morning…it's called the Pop 'N Style Kid with three differently styled hair extensions that just pop in. The doll is now made by Jakks Pacific.
I didn't play with too many dolls as I kid but I do remember I had a doll where if you pushed a button in her back and yanked on her hair–it would grow. I just asked my mother the name…she can't recall either but reminded me that I had several of them because I just couldn't get the concept that if you cut the doll's hair it wouldn't grow back. In my own defense, I recall the commercial kept repeating "it grows hair!"
I have a sense that our testers are going to enjoy these dolls–stay tuned.

Congenial Multiple Imputation and Matched Pairs Models for Square Tables: An Example of patients' self-management
Experimental studies often measure an individual's quality of life before and after an intervention, with the data organized into a square table and analyzed using matched pair modeling. However, it is not unusual to find missing data in either round (i.e., before and/or after) of such studies and the use of multiple imputations with matched-pair modeling remains relatively unreported in the applied statistics literature. In this paper we introduce an approach which maintains dependency of responses over time and makes a match between the imputer and the analyst. We use 'before' and 'after' quality-of-life data from a randomized controlled trial to demonstrate how multiple imputation and matched-pair modeling can be congenially combined, avoiding a possible mismatch of imputation and analyses, and to derive a properly consolidated analysis of the quality-of-life data. We illustrate this strategy with a real-life example of one item from a quality-of-life study that evaluates the effectiveness of patients' self-management of anticoagulation versus standard care as part of a randomized controlled trial.

Senators: Tenn. officials more decisive than FDA
David Miller, of the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists, signaled his group would no longer oppose legislation to clarify FDA authority over large-scale compounding.
WASHINGTON -- As Congress continues to express dismay at how regulators failed to prevent this fall's meningitis outbreak, Tennessee got lauded as a bright spot in the public health system during a Senate hearing Thursday.
Lawmakers also heard how much worse it could have been for the state if not for state officials' decisive actions.
Republican Sen. Lamar Alexander, joined by Sens. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, and Barbara Mikulski, D-Md., were among those who singled out the actions of the Tennessee Department of Health during a hearing of the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee.
MORE: CDC map of meningitis cases
From Sept. 18, when the department learned of the case of Eddie Lovelace, suffering the aftereffects from a steroid injection at a Nashville clinic, to Oct. 4, when it ordered all Tennessee health facilities to stop using medicines from the New England Compounding Center in Framingham, Mass., state officials were exemplary in their performance, lawmakers said. They noted how the department, led by Dr. Marion Kainer, sent out continuing alerts to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the Food and Drug Administration, plus officials in other states, about the danger of the drugs.
Steroid drugs from NECC are now connected to 461 cases of meningitis nationwide and 81 in Tennessee. The state leads the nation in meningitis-related deaths with 13.
If Tennessee had delayed acting for as little as nine additional days, the state would have suffered at least five more deaths and more than 50 additional cases, Kainer testified.
The current crisis is far from over, Kainer added.
"In Tennessee, we still have many patients hospitalized and suffering from complications and others who are exposed and frightened that they may become infected," she said.
But that didn't stop Mikulski from praising her. "Tennessee was really doing their public health job," the Maryland senator said.
And Alexander, speaking to reporters afterward, contrasted his home state's efforts with those of the Massachusetts Board of Pharmacy, which he called "incompetent," and the FDA, which he called "nearly incompetent."
"Tennessee public health officials deserve a gold medal," he said.
In a significant political development during the hearing, David Miller, representing the International Academy of Compounding Pharmacists, signaled his group would no longer oppose legislation to clarify FDA authority over large-scale compounding. The group had lobbied against a 2007 bill that would have made that clarification. It was sponsored by the late senator Edward M. Kennedy, D-Mass.
Alexander said he sees bipartisan legislation to make that change being introduced at the start of the 113th Congress in January. It's a bill that should have fairly clear sailing, he said afterward
"I don't think the lobbying forces are going to have any luck on this one," Alexander said.
Meanwhile, the FDA, for the second Capitol Hill hearing in as many days, continued to face strong bipartisan criticism about its failure to take decisive action against NECC at several points over the past decade.
But Margaret Hamburg, who President Obama appointed commissioner in 2009, continued to argue her agency is hindered by a regulatory structure that is "limited, unclear and contested" when it comes to large-scale compounders like NECC.
For the most part, senators weren't buying her arguments, saying the agency had powers it didn't use.
If the FDA gets additional authority, Sen. Richard Blumenthal, D-Conn., said, "Will the FDA use this authority more vigorously than it has used its authority to date?"
He added, "I think the conclusion is inescapable that this tragedy could have and should have been prevented."
Sen. Pat Roberts, R-Kansas, noted various inspections and other unfavorable reports about NECC the FDA knew about, including its own warning letter sent to the company in 2006.
"This has been going on since 2002. It's amazing," Roberts said in a booming voice that startled some of the hundreds in the audience.
"It took all this time and nobody did anything."
But Hamburg repeatedly said her agency was hampered under existing law, including confusion caused by differing decisions from the 9th and 5th U.S. Circuit Courts of Appeal. The two circuits, in deciding separate cases, came to differing conclusions about whether a 1998 update to Depression-era legislation gave the FDA authority over large-scale compounders.
In contrast, the FDA has long left regulation of small-scale compounding done at neighborhood pharmacies to the states, even though many believe 1938 legislation gives it authority over those.
Alexander said it's time to decide "whose flag is on the pole" when it comes to overseeing the larger compounders that fall into what Hamburg called a "regulatory crazy quilt" and "gray area."
In Tennessee, there are 30 to 50 drug businesses that would fit that category, Alexander said.
Between state and federal officials now, Alexander told reporters afterward, "My biggest frustration is that nobody's at fault."

After 12 years of hibernation, legendary Los Angeles rawk 'n' roll firebrands The Streetwalkin Cheetahs have reunited in 2013 to hit the road and take their
beer-soaked, fist-pumpin' hard rockin' action to the people. Lead by founding members Frank Meyer (vocals, guitar), Dino Everett (bass), Mike Sessa (drums)
and new guitarist Bruce Duff (ADZ, 45 Grave, Jeff Dahl), The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs will be touring for the first time since their 2002 breakup, playing
songs off their heralded albums Live on KXLU, Waiting For the Death of My Generation, Maximum Overdrive, Red Tape Diaries, and more.
Back in the day, the band toured the world, recorded over 10 albums for iconic indie labels such as Triple XXX and Bomp!/Alive, appeared on over 100 compilations,
soundtracks and tribute albums, and were critical darlings, receiving rave press in Rolling Stone, Spin, Alternative Press, Flipside, LA Weekly, and all
the hip 'zines and weeklies. Along the way, they scooped up a slew of New Times awards, collaborated with punk legends such as Wayne Kramer (MC5),
Cherie Currie (The Runaways), Sylvain Sylvain (New York Dolls), Jimmy Zero (Dead Boys) and Deniz Tek (Radio Birdman), and shared stages with such acts
as The White Stripes, Queens of the Stone Age, Turbonegro, Supersuckers, Nashville Pussy, Reverend Horton Heat, Fishbone, Fear, John Frusciante, and countless
others. And right before his untimely passing, Joey Ramone declared them his favorite band…ironic, considering a few years later Cheetahs frontman Meyer
co-wrote the book On the Road with the Ramones.
"The Streetwalkin Cheetahs will kick your ass and you will like it! Four stars."
- Rolling Stone
"The Cheetahs [are] a popular indie touring band and have developed a reputation for their ferocious live show."
- MTV News
"Is there a better punk rock band than the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs? Is there a better rock & roll band than the
Cheetahs? Is there a better band, period? Maybe, but they ain't anywhere on the music industry radar."
- Austin Chronicle
"The Streetwalkin' Cheetahs operate with the sort of retro-hyperactive rock bravado that always makes for a lovely social
occasion…Bombastic, brash and endlessly entertaining, this is a rock-and-roll bandwagon with breadth and girth
you couldn't possibly anticipate."
- Alternative Press
"I think the MC5 might be long gone, but the spirit is reborn in the Streetwalkin' Cheetahs. I'm passing the torch to them."
- Wayne Kramer, MC5
"The Streetwalkin Cheetahs will get you laid. They are the best band I've seen in the last ten years."
- Legs McNeil, Please Kill Me

OTTAWA - Justin Trudeau was absent from the House of Commons on Monday as the Ukrainian ambassador demanded an apology for the Liberal leader's tongue-in-cheek remark about the crisis in Ukraine while Conservatives and the NDP pounced.
The day after the Liberal leader was criticized for failing to make himself available to the media at the end of the Liberal party's weekend policy convention, Trudeau had no public events scheduled and didn't appear for question period.
That left Liberal MP Marc Garneau charged with defending Trudeau for his recent comments on Ukraine during a pre-taped appearance on Radio Canada's "Tout le Monde en Parle,'' a humour-infused current affairs program. Trudeau linked the upheaval in Ukraine to Russia's Olympic hockey woes.
Garneau accused Conservatives of "trying to take advantage of this for cheap partisan reasons.''
"If you look at the entire transcript, you'll see that Justin Trudeau spoke very seriously about the situation in Ukraine, and anyone who's been on 'Tout Le Monde En Parle' knows what kind of show it is,'' he said, adding in a post-question period scrum: "I smell fear.''
Garneau also noted that Liberal delegates at the convention passed an emergency resolution calling for support for a transition to democracy in Ukraine. The resolution also called on Prime Minister Stephen Harper not to allow any foreign power to interfere with the will of the Ukrainian people.
Nonetheless the Ukrainian ambassador to Canada called on Trudeau to apologize.
"You have to be extremely careful when you talk about 82 people who died fighting ... for their future and everyone's in danger,'' Vadym Prystaiko said on CTV's "Power Play.''
"You're just sitting in a nice room, and you're talking about things in such a light manner; it's inappropriate .... We hope that he will be able to apologize.''
A handful of Tory cabinet ministers, as well as NDP Leader Tom Mulcair, took aim at Trudeau, who's consistently ahead of the Tories and the NDP in public opinion polls.
"So Justin Trudeau, whose favourite regime is 'the basic dictatorship of China,' thinks the deadly crisis in Ukraine is a laughing matter,'' Employment Minister Jason Kenney wrote in a tweet.
Industry Minister James Moore also took to Twitter to draw attention to Trudeau's joke. Citizenship Minister Chris Alexander mocked Trudeau in a statement to the media outside the House of Commons.
"Trudeau apparently thinks the situation is Ukraine is something to joke about,'' he said.
"We don't and we are concerned that there is not just one statement of this quality, there's a pattern here of support for communist dictatorship, of belief in ... budgets balancing themselves and now of whimsical comments, offensive comments about Ukraine's future based on the result of a hockey game in Sochi.''
The NDP, meantime, posted a YouTube video of Trudeau's comments while Mulcair took a swipe at his relationship with the media.
NOTE: Click the 'CC' button for closed captioning.
"I fail to see the levity when you've got dozens of people being shot dead in the street of their own capital, so you don't make jokes about that,'' he said.
"If he's making jokes, I think that he'd better start explaining himself, if and when he ever accepts to take questions from journalists.''
In an interview that aired at the end of a big Olympic hockey weekend in which Canada won gold over Sweden, Trudeau was asked about the situation in Ukraine and the prospect of Russian involvement.
He joked that Russia could be fuming after being eliminated last week from the Olympic medal round.
"It's very worrisome,'' Trudeau said after telling the panel that he now considers Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to be illegitimate. "Especially since Russia lost in hockey, they will be in a bad mood. We are afraid of a Russian intervention in Ukraine.''
"Only because of hockey?'' the show's host, Guy A. Lepage, asked Trudeau as other panelists chuckled.
"No,'' Trudeau replied. "It is an attempt to bring a light view of a situation that is extremely serious.''
Yanukovych is in hiding, his regime in tatters, following months of pro-Western protests in Ukraine.
The Tories also put Trudeau's economic policies on the hot seat on Monday, signalling a future line of attack as they return from a weeklong break. At the convention over the weekend, Trudeau vowed not to hike taxes on the already-struggling middle class but laid out only the broadest of economic agendas.
He spoke of activist but not intrusive government, strategic investments to spur economic growth but no wanton big spending.
Kevin Sorensen, the Tory minister of state (finance), said Trudeau's ideas ``would take this country down the same road as Greece and Detroit.''
Alberta MP Blake Richards was equally disdainful in a statement to the House of Commons.
"I am glad that the Liberal leader recognized that Canadians' strength is between their ears, but looking at the Liberal leader's speech on Saturday night, I am left wishing he offered something more than a little nutty in between his,'' he said.
Mulcair, meantime, questioned how Trudeau was going to fund his policies.
"He's got a rather long grocery list of spending, but no sources of revenue. How does he put those two together?''

Equatorial Guinea
Equatorial Guinea
2012 Scores
Freedom Rating (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Civil Liberties (1 = best, 7 = worst)
Political Rights (1 = best, 7 = worst)
The African Union selected Equatorial Guinea to host its 17th summit in 2011, despite the country's reputation as one of the most repressive states in sub-Saharan Africa. The event highlighted the repressive nature of President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo's regime, with security forces reportedly detaining hundreds of suspected dissidents during the lead-up to the summit. In a process described by watchdog organizations as flawed, a constitutional referendum approved in November granted the president increased powers.
Equatorial Guinea achieved independence from Spain in 1968. Current president Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo seized power in 1979 after deposing and executing his uncle, the country's first president, Francisco Macías Nguema. While international pressure compelled Obiang to establish a multiparty system in 1991, Equatorial Guinea has yet to hold credible elections; the Equatoguinean strongman and his Democratic Party of Equatorial Guinea (PDGE) have remained firmly entrenched in power. The discovery and exploitation of offshore hydrocarbon resources has allowed Obiang to amass a vast personal fortune, bolstering his domestic position and making him largely impervious to calls from abroad to implement meaningful political reforms.
Obiang dissolved the parliament in February 2008 and called legislative and municipal elections for May. A new coalition composed of the PDGE and nine smaller parties won a reported 100 percent of the vote in many districts, taking 99 out of 100 seats in the parliament amid allegations of widespread irregularities. The Convergence for Social Democracy (CPDS), the sole opposition party, was reduced from two seats to one.
In February 2009, a group of unidentified gunmen attacked the presidential palace in Malabo. The government asserted that the assailants were Niger Delta militants working in league with members of the Equatoguinean opposition-in-exile. In the ensuing months, security forces rounded up and expelled hundreds of foreign residents amidst international outcry. Seven Nigerian suspects were convicted and sentenced in April 2010 on charges related to the attack. In August 2010, four former military and government officials were executed within an hour of being sentenced to death by a military court for attempting to assassinate the president during the attacks. According to Amnesty International, Equatoguinean operatives abducted the four individuals in Benin, where they had been living as refugees, and proceeded to hold them incommunicado in Black Beach Prison, where the suspects were reportedly tortured before confessing to the attack.
Obiang swept the November 2009 presidential elections with 95.4 percent of the vote, although as with past balloting, the election was widely regarded as rigged. The president's main opponent, CPDS leader Plácido Micó Abogo, received less than 4 percent of the vote. The new government appointed in January 2010 included nearly all of the previous cabinet members, and the creation of many new junior minister posts increased the total size of the cabinet by 50 percent. Obiang's son and reportedly favored successor, Teodoro (known as Teodorín) Nguema Obiang Mangue, retained the agriculture and forests portfolio, was promoted to minister of state, and became vice president of the PDGE. After the changes, members of the president's family held 11 ministerial posts.
There was a dramatic increase in arbitrary arrests and police raids in the months leading up to the country's hosting of the June 2011 meeting of the 17th African Union Summit. In addition to the detention of approximately 100 students in the city of Bata, police raided neighborhoods with high foreign-born populations. Some observers attributed the crackdown to pre-emptive government efforts to prevent any manifestations of political unrest during the summit.
On November 13, 2011, a constitutional referendum was approved by 97.7 percent of voters, according to the government. However, organizations such as Human Rights Watch reported voting fraud, the harassment and intimidation of voters, and other irregularities. While the reforms imposed a term limit for the presidency to two consecutive terms, the age limit for eligibility was lifted, which would allow Obiang to run again for a third term in the future. The referendum also increased presidential powers by allowing the president to appoint a vice-president who would assume Obiang's presidency should he retire or die in office. Expectations are that Obiang will appoint his son.
Equatorial Guinea's abundant oil revenues do not reach the majority of its citizens. According to the Centre for Global Development, 77 percent of the population lives on less than two dollars a day. As Human Rights Watch noted, the government spent four times as much money building facilities to host the African Union summit in 2011 than it did on education in 2008.
Equatorial Guinea is not an electoral democracy. The 2009 presidential election that resulted in President Teodoro Obiang Nguema Mbasogo securing a new, seven-year term reportedly featured intimidation and harassment of the opposition by security forces and restrictions on foreign observers. Power rests firmly in the hands of Obiang and his supporters, the overwhelming majority of whom hail from the Esangui clan, part of the Fang ethnic group. The 100 members of the unicameral House of People's Representatives are elected to five-year terms, but wield little power; all but one of the chamber's seats are held by members of the pro-presidential coalition. However, the November 2011 referendum approved the creation of a new bicameral parliament to consist of a 100-member Chamber of Deputies and a 70-member Senate. Each body is to be directly elected for five-year terms, but the law will determine how many senators the president may nominate.
The PDGE regime has little tolerance for political dissent. Equatoguinean security agents closely monitor suspected Obiang opponents, including members of the CPDS.
As with politics, Obiang and his inner circle dominate Equatorial Guinea's economic landscape, and graft is rampant. Most major business transactions cannot transpire without involving an individual connected to the regime. Transparency International's 2011 Corruption Index ranked Equatorial Guinea 172 out of 183 countries surveyed.
Although the constitution guarantees media freedom, the 1992 press law authorizes government censorship. Libel remains a criminal offense, and the government requires all journalists to register with state officials. A few private newspapers are published irregularly but face intense financial and political pressure. The government holds a monopoly on broadcast media, with the exception of RTV-Asonga, a private radio and television outlet owned by Obiang's son. In mid-February 2011, the Equatoguinean regime forbade media outlets from reporting on the political unrest in the Arab world, even suspending the host of a French-language radio program, Juan Pedro Mendene, for briefly mentioning Libya during a March broadcast. Mendene was then reportedly assaulted by the bodyguard of the secretary of state for radio and television information while leaving the station. In June, security personnel arrested and then deported three journalists from a German television station who had interviewed CPDS leader Plácido Micó Abogo and recorded some footage of an impoverished Malabo neighborhood.
The constitution protects religious freedom, though in practice it is sometimes affected by the country's broader political repression. Official preference is given to the Roman Catholic Church and the Reform Church of Equatorial Guinea. Academic freedom is also politically constrained, and self-censorship among faculty is common.
Freedoms of assembly and association are severely restricted, and political gatherings must have official authorization to proceed. The Equatoguinean regime reportedly banned the Popular Union (UP) opposition party from organizing demonstrations on March 23 in Malabo and Bata. The few international nongovernmental organizations that operate in the country promote social and economic improvements rather than political and civil rights. The constitution provides for the right to organize unions, but there are many legal barriers to collective bargaining. While it has ratified key International Labour Organization conventions, the government has refused to register a number of trade unions, including the Workers' Union of Equatorial Guinea and the Organization of Rural Workers. The country's only legal labor union is the Unionized Organization of Small Farmers.
The judiciary is not independent. Civil cases rarely go to trial, and military tribunals handle national security cases. Equatorial Guinea has been condemned internationally for holding detainees in secret, denying them access to lawyers, and jailing them for long periods without charge. UN investigators have also reported systematic torture in the penal system. Prison conditions are deplorable.
Immigrants from neighboring African states and the ethnic Bubi are frequent targets of government harassment. Important contributors to the local economy, foreign workers have frequently been expelled or jailed. Similarly, the Bubi, indigenous inhabitants of the oil-rich island Bioko, have seen their economic rights undermined by successive Fang-dominated regimes.
All citizens are required to obtain exit visas to travel abroad, and some opposition figures have been denied such visas. Those who do travel are sometimes subjected to interrogation upon their return.
Constitutional and legal guarantees of equality for women are largely ignored. Both violence against women and discriminatory traditional practices are reportedly widespread. Women hold just 6 percent of the seats in the House of People's Representatives; however, the 2011 referendum explicitly commits the government to adopting measures to increase women's representation and participation in institutional functions.

Filed for print . . .
If he had it to do over, Raiders quarterback Terrelle Pryor would still take the field with his sprained right knee.
As for the aftermath of his last start on Nov. 10, Pryor would handle that much differently.
In a 24-20 loss to the New York Giants, Pryor's running and passing were adversely affected. He completed just 42.9 percent of his passes (11 of 26) with a key interception and had a season-low 19 yards rushing.
Following the game, Pryor, speaking in hushed tones and avoiding eye contact, referred to his knee injury several times, a stark contrast to earlier defeats where he accepted responsibility and pointed the finger squarely at himself.
"It was just bad leadership on my side to make an excuse at the end and say it was my knee,'' Pryor said Friday. "Whether it was or not, that's one of my biggest regrets right there. Any time you step on the field you're held accountable and that's what I realize I could have done different.''
Pryor got back on the field for a series in a 37-27 loss to the New York Jets, leading the Raiders to a field goal in the first half, and will probably get into the game at some point Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs at O.co Coliseum.
The role is similar to how Pryor was going to be used until he beat out Matt Flynn and won the job outright. McGloin has assumed the Flynn role, operating a conventional offense, with Pryor coming in as a change-of-pace with his running and passing skills.
"(McGloin) is more of the prototype quarterback,'' Chiefs linebacker Derrick Johnson said by conference call. "With Pryor in there _ and he will play some _ it's a whole different ballgame. You've got the regular offense, then you've got that zone-read college-type stuff to deal with too.''
Offensive coordinator Greg Olson said Pryor was going in for the third series against the Jets even if McGloin had led the Raiders to two touchdowns, and coming out even if he had produced a touchdown.
It's clear that McGloin's passing, quicker delivery and decision-making has made him No. 1 until he plays his way out of the job, and Pryor said he defers to the judgement of coach Dennis Allen.
"Right now Matt's the quarterback,'' Pryor said. "The only thing I can do is control what I can control and just keep getting better. That's where we're at.''
After compiling a 3-5 record as a starter, Pryor said he doesn't look at his backup status as a setback.
"It's just push forward and find ways to get better,'' Pryor said. "You could always put your head down and cry and whine about it and talk behind everyone's back, but there's another way. It's an opportunity for me to be a leader in a different way and try to grasp guys and teach guys. That's how I'm going about it and that's probably the only way I can right now.''
Allen said McGloin and Pryor would each like to be the starter but both are on board with whatever the staff decides.
"We've got to do the things that give us the best chance for success,'' Allen said. "We feel comfortable with both of those guys. They've both helped us, so they understand what we're trying to do and as competitors they want to be in there playing.''
— Running backs Darren McFadden (ankle) and Jeremy Stewart (ankle) were declared out against Kansas City along with defensive tackle Vance Walker (concussion). Wide receiver Denarius Moore (shoulder) is probable but expected to play.
Allen said the Raiders would give some thought as to whether McFadden will go on injured reserve if it appears he will not be healthy enough to play in the last two games against San Diego and Kansas City.
The same goes for safety Tyvon Branch (ankle), who is doubtful to face the Chiefs.
— Three key Chiefs were declared out _ left tackle Brandon Albert (knee), pass rushing linebacker Justin Houston (elbow) and tight Anthony Fasano.(concussion/knee).

M. Wilson;
American Bach Soloists & American Bach Choir, J. Thomas. Texts and translations online only. ABS 885007456063
The luminous American soprano Mary Wilson, who spearheads three of Handel's sacred vocal works on this new release from American Bach Soloists, doesn't impose a domineering personality on the music; she seems more like its humble servant. She just happens to be an unusually gifted servant. Her light, alluring, velvety voice is as soothing as a soft, warm blanket. The first movement of Handel's motet Silete Venti serves up a neat trick: the vigorous fugato of the instrumental introduction is brought to an instant, mid-phrase halt by the words of the title ("Silence, ye winds"), thus informing us retroactively that we have been listening to the gusts of a windstorm. Wilson's voice contains so much quiet charisma that we fully accept it when the orchestra obediently follows suit, turning delicately accompanimental and allowing her to expound on the joy her love of the Lord brings her.
But she's just getting started: Wilson is fully equipped to surmount the manifold musical and technical challenges Handel has in store for her in these three demanding works. The five-movement Silete Venti is followed by the eight-movement cantata Laudate Pueri Dominum, which traverses a broad spectrum of the Italian vocal styles and forms Handel was cheerfully (and profitably) learning to embrace during his first sojourn in Rome. Wilson is just as adept with the quick, wide leaps of "Excelsus super omnes gentes Dominus" as she is with the long, tender phrases of the haunting aria "Sit nomen Domine," which features abundant duet work with the superb oboe soloist John Abberger. In several movements, Wilson is joined by the American Bach Choir, which sounds unusually well-integrated and energized but suffers from the remote placement and fuzzy miking that seem to be favored in most recent choral recordings.
The closing, six-movement Gloria, authenticated only in 2001 as genuinely Handelian, is unceasingly melodic and attractive. The cheerful, extended roulades of the insidiously appealing first movement are just a warm-up for the virtuoso vocal fireworks of the dazzlingly fleet closing "Quoniam tu solus sanctus." In all of these, Wilson is not only amazingly consistent and accurate; she somehow retains her beautifully nuanced phrasing. The third movement is a lovely and upbeat "Laudamus te" that makes an unexpected but gratifying mid-movement segue to a triplet-feel "Gratias agimus tibi." Only in the brief fourth movement, "Domine Deus," with just organ accompaniment, does Wilson have some highly uncharacteristic pitch problems. Otherwise, these performances are a splendid, wide-ranging showcase for her. Jeffrey Thomas draws crisp, vital playing from the ace baroque instrumentalists of American Bach Soloists, who provide galvanizing vigor but also caress the gut strings of their period instruments with unusual beauty.

Hope College was among only 11 colleges and universities to have work chosen for the Gala Performance that closed the East Central Conference of the American College Dance Festival Association (ACDFA) on Saturday, March 19, at the University of Akron in Ohio.
The adjudicated concert included "Yucuninu," choreographed by Hope faculty member Alicia Diaz. The solo piece was performed by Hope junior Michael Parmelee of Lansing, who is a dance performance-choreographer major.
"Yucuninu" is a ritualized, physical expression of pleading for strength and hope in a time of adversity. West Michigan audiences had an opportunity to experience the work during dANCEpROjECt's Oct. 28-30 fall concerts at the college's Knickerbocker Theatre, which featured a different interpretation each night: a female solo, a female trio and a male trio.
The Hope participants dedicated the March 19 performance of "Yucuninu," which the adjudicators described as a prayer and a lullaby, to Dr. Jennifer Young Tait of the college's English faculty, who had died earlier in the day after suffering complications from premature childbirth, and her newborn son, Solomon.
A total of six Hope students and three faculty members participated in the regional conference, which ran Wednesday-Saturday, March 16-19, and featured adjudicated performances and master classes. Also during the four-day conference, sophomore Nickolas Muckleroy, a dance performance-choreography major from Houston, Texas, presented his solo work "The Snow Abides" during an informal concert.
Diaz is an assistant professor of dance at Hope, where she has been a member of the faculty since 2009.
With husband Matthew Thornton, who is also a member of the college's dance faculty, she is a co-founder of Agua Dulce Dance Theater, which has performed and given workshops in colleges, high schools and festivals, traveling to Mexico, Puerto Rico and across the U.S. Among other appearances, in February she and Thornton performed through the "Professional Artist Series" of OaklandUniversity in Rochester, and in December they performed in a work choreographed by faculty colleague Steven Iannacone presented during the "Nikolais Centennial Alumni Concerts" at HunterCollege in New York City.
Originally from San Juan, Puerto Rico. Diaz holds a M.A. in Dance and Choreography from the Gallatin School of Individualized Studies at NYU and a B.A. in Art, Culture and Society from EugeneLangCollege of the NewSchool for Social Research. She has danced nationally and internationally with companies such as Complexions: A Concept in Dance, Donald Byrd/The Group (Harlem Nutcracker), Joseph Holmes Chicago Dance Theater. Her choreography has been presented in New York, Ohio, Michigan, New Jersey, Kansas, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Cuba, Argentina, and Spain.
More than 300 colleges and universities nationwide are institutional members of the ACDFA, which was established in the early 1970s and exists to support and affirm the role of dance in higher education. Through its annual regional festivals and a biennial national festival, the ACDFA is the national professional organization through which dance students, master teachers and performers from a wide range of colleges and universities can gather to share knowledge and showcase their creative work. The East Central region is one of 10 ACDFA regions, and includes institutions in Indiana, Kentucky, Michigan and Ohio.

Racing Dreams…Posted by in General
If you got the most recent issue of NASCAR ILLUSTRATED you may have read the four page spread starting on page 56 about the documentary Racing Dreams by film maker Marshall Curry. Well I am here to tell you that if you have a chance to see this movie- I highly recommend that you do.
The film Racing Dreams follows Josh Hobson (age 12), Brandon Warren (age 13), and up and coming rookie Annabeth Barnes (age 11) in her class through the 2007 World Karting Association season as each strives to be the National champion in their division (Brandon is in the senior class, Josh and Annabeth are both in the junior class). It incorporates not just their racing and the 5 race WKA season- but their individual family dynamics and the kid's personalities as well.
It's really the kids that make this movie in my opinion. Josh is extremely polished for someone his age- he holds court at fundraising events to support his racing, he practices mentioning sponsors, he is the most gracious winner. He has extremely supportive parents. Brandon is not so polished, extremely fun-loving, has had issues with a quick temper, but a desire and want to win. Brandon is being raised by his grandparents. Annabeth struggles with balancing being a "normal kid" and a racer. Two of the kids strike up a friendship that is just so classic of that age that it makes the movie. By the last race of the WKA season, you (or at least I was) are rooting for all three of them. Three very different kids. One dream.
I highly recommend seeing this movie if you have the opportunity. For more information on the movie check out the Racing Dreams website.
