Qatar National Athletes Prepare for 2012 Olympic Games
Posted on July 26, 2012 by Web Desk
London, July 26 (QNA) – Qatar's national athletes continued their pre-games preparation and completed all arrangements to begin their campaign in the 30th London 2012 Summer Olympic Games from 27 July to 12 of August in London, UK.
All national athletes have officially started their pre-games training sessions earlier on Tuesday, keeping great dream to make glory and honor the country at this prestigious Olympic gathering
Some 12 prominent athletes will represent Qatar in the upcoming London 2012 Olympic Games including, Nasser Al-Attiyiah (Skeet), Rashid Al-Thaba (Trap/Double Trap), Noor Al-Malki (100m Athletics), Hamza Driouch and Mohammed Al-Qarni (men 1500 m), Mohammed Bakheet (Marathon), Mutaz Barsham (High Jump), Musaab Abdulrahman Balah (men 800 m), Nada Wafa Arkagi and Ahmed Gheith Al-Attari in the swimming freestyle event, Bahia Al-Hamad (shooting) and Aia Magdi (Table Tennis).
It is worth mentioning that, Qatar made its first participation in Olympic Games in Montreal 1976 Canada with one administrative delegation, followed by the second participation in Los Angles 1984 Summer Olympic Games with three teams competed in the football, athletics and shooting, Qatar Olympic Committee (QOC) reported.
In Barcelona 1992 Summer Olympic Games, Qatar's Olympic dream changed into a reality after Mohammed Suleiman confidently earned a bronze medal in 1500 m. As in Sydney 2000 Summer Olympic Games, Qatar's weightlifter, Asaad Saif Said won the bronze medal in the 105 kg event.
The QOC is looking for a positive participation in the London 2012 Olympic Games based on its commitment and pioneering strategy to attend All sports competitions to make experience and glory. (QNA)

Die Kwan-Um-Zen-Schule (관음선종회, KUSZ, Kwan Um School of Zen) ist eine Zen-Gemeinschaft, die in koreanischer Tradition steht, jedoch hauptsächlich in westlichen Gesellschaften aktiv ist.

Die Schule wurde 1983 von dem aus Korea stammenden Zen-Meister Seung Sahn in Providence, USA, gegründet und fasste Zen-Zentren in mehreren Städten der USA zusammen, die Seung Sahn ab 1972 aufgebaut hatte. Heute befindet sich der Sitz und Haupttempel in Cumberland, einem nördlichen Vorort Providences.

Die Schule unterhält heute knapp 100 Zentren auf der ganzen Welt, mit Schwerpunkt in den USA, Europa und Asien. Der europäische Haupttempel wurde 1997 in Paris begründet. Seit 2008 liegt der europäische Haupttempel in Berlin auf dem ExRotaprint-Gelände.

Leitende Lehrerin der Schule ist Zen-Meisterin Soeng Hyang, leitender Lehrer in Europa Zen-Meister Wu Bong.

Mu Soeng, ein langjährig tätiger Mönch, beschreibt die Kwan-Um-Schule als eine einzigartige Mischung aus Elementen des Reinen Landes und des Zen, dem Singen des Namens des Bodhisattvas des Mitgefühls und kräftigen Niederwerfungen, die für die koreanische volksbuddhistische Praxis charakteristisch sind.

Houston Rockets Roasted For Tweet Arguing That James Harden Should Have Won MVP
James Harden's campaign to repeat as NBA MVP fell short and the Houston Rockets did not take the news well.
On Monday night, the race for NBA MVP came to a close, with Milwaukee Bucks big man Giannis Antetokounmpo taking home the hardware. The award missed by Houston Rockets superstar James Harden. It was a choice that few could argue with: Antetokounmpo finished the season averaging almost 28 points, 13 rebounds, and six assists per game. But while the basketball world celebrated Antetokounmpo's coronation, the Rockets, instead, awkwardly argued Harden's case on Twitter. On Twitter, fans were quick to roast the Rockets for their perceived slight against the new MVP.

The truth behind the rise in pregnant women being treated for Covid in ICUs
Look up the NHS advice on pregnancy and Covid and it all sounds fairly reassuring: "There's no evidence that pregnant women are more likely to get seriously ill from coronavirus," runs the official line. Pregnant women have been classed as clinically vulnerable simply "as a precaution." New figures, however, suggest the risk of becoming seriously ill with Covid could be higher for pregnant women and new mothers than we might have initially thought. According to a report this month on Covid in critical care, one in nine women under 50 years old being treated in intensive care for coronavirus is either pregnant or has given birth within the previous six weeks. The data, which relates to cases from September 1 to January 8 and was compiled by the Intensive Care National Audit and Research Centre (ICNARC), shows 11.7 per cent of younger women in UK critical care units with the virus were classed in one of the two categories. This represents an increase compared with the number of such women admitted to intensive care units (ICUs) with the virus up to August 31. So, what lies behind the rise, and how worried should pregnant women be? Dr Edward Morris, president of the Royal College of Obstetricians and Gynaecologists (RCOG), suggests there are several possible reasons why pregnant women now represent an increased fraction of intensive care admissions with Covid in the ICNARC study. One of these is that the overall number of pregnant women needing critical care treatment is low, so "the impact of the increase is therefore magnified." He adds: "We know there is increased prevalence of the virus among younger age groups in this wave, and another factor is more women testing positive for Covid after being admitted into hospital for something else as testing has increased." Current evidence from the UK suggests pregnant women are at no greater risk of being infected with coronavirus, he says, and most who do become infected won't become seriously ill. "While the majority of pregnant women experience only mild or moderate symptoms, pregnant women who are in their third trimester of pregnancy or have pre-existing medical problems are at a higher risk of developing severe illness and are more likely to require admission to hospital compared with other pregnant women. We encourage pregnant women to pay particular attention to social distancing measures and good hygiene, especially if they are 28 weeks pregnant or more," says Morris. The Royal College of Midwives (RCM) meanwhile suggests one reason why a higher proportion of pregnant women and new mothers are being admitted to critical care units now could be that the threshold for admitting them may be lower. In some cases it could be "a precautionary measure," says Dr Mary Ross-Davie, director for Scotland and the RCM lead on Covid. She adds: "The evidence available suggests that pregnant women are admitted to ICU for relatively short periods for additional observation and support. "Covid infection in pregnant women is also being picked up better than earlier in the pandemic through routine testing in maternity units, and more women are being diagnosed with the disease, and this also could be a part of the reason." According to official guidance, pregnant women do not need to shield, unless they have a serious underlying medical condition that makes this necessary; they just need to take extra care in following the guidelines. As the NHS advice states, it may be possible for pregnant women to pass the virus to their unborn baby, but when this has happened, the babies have recovered and there's no evidence coronavirus causes miscarriage or affects a baby's development in the womb.

This book examines the personal impact of developmental trauma, and how it can become a life game-changer. Rather being a self-fulfilling prophesy for pain and suffering, developmental trauma can become a catalyst for personal transformation and meaning-making.
Recent research indicates that one's beliefs about stress, not stress itself, determines whether it is positive or negative. This book helps readers change their beliefs about stress, and reframe the concept of developmental trauma into developmental growth. This perspective empowers readers towards intrapsychic integration and personal transformation.
Developmental trauma has become a controversial topic in the mental health profession, contributing to a growing rift between clinicians and academicians. The controversy centers on how relational trauma impacts children during the first three years of life.
Developmental trauma refers to childhood relational trauma involving abuse, neglect or abandonment by parents and other adult caregivers. Clinicians say that developmental trauma has deep and long-lasting effect on child development that contributes to illnesses and degenerative diseases in adulthood. Clinicians base their opinion on their work "in the trenches," where they see a steady stream of clients whose problems clearly stem from early relational trauma. Their experiences as clinicians, particularly those working with young children, say that developmental trauma is a real source of human suffering.
Academicians, researchers and some psychiatrists say that the impact of this early relational trauma is negligible, and only a part of the diagnostic and treatment picture. This group is not actively involved in developing empathic relationships with clients, so they are somewhat removed from the suffering caused by adverse childhood experiences.
This book examines the historical factors that have caused this professional controversy, and how it is provoking a game-change in the way that mental health professionals conduct their practices.
Why Is Developmental Trauma A Game-Changer?
This book also examines the personal impact of developmental trauma, and how it can become a life game-changer. Rather being a self-fulfilling prophesy for pain and suffering, developmental trauma can become a catalyst for personal transformation and meaning-making.
Developmental Trauma: the Game Changer in the Mental Health Profession, is a must read for competent mental health professionals! Barry and Janae are very clear on the subject of developmental trauma. They feel that "the long-term effects of developmental traumas caused by childhood abuse and neglect as the single most important public health issue in this country." And I couldn't agree more.
Developmental Trauma: The Game Changer in the Mental Health Profession skillfully describes how trauma and neglect during the first three years of life can seriously hinder the development of a person's true self and limit a person's skills for relating to others—and it provides essential treatment solutions. A must-read to become a competent trauma-informed professional.
Developmental Trauma: The Game Changer in Mental Health Profession is a must read for counselors, advocates, and first responders providing services from a trauma informed perspective. The Weinholds present several insightful points that help the reader to ask and understand the question "what happened or didn't happen to you?" Instead of "What's wrong with you?" It is also culturally sensitive and can be adapted for use with any culture. I have found this to be true in working with the Latino community, especially DV, SA and CSA survivors.
Developmental Trauma: The Game Changer in the Mental Health Profession is an excellent primer for mental health practitioners new to the profession and wanting to learn more about human development, trauma, and attachment theory to enhance their professional and clinical skills. It also provides foundational information about developmental trauma, particularly how it correlates with early childhood development, and how it can be healed through process work. Additionally and significantly, it also describes the evolution in understanding of developmental trauma and its critical role in today's clinical practice.
Developmental Trauma: the Game Changer in the Mental Health Profession, is a must read for every mental health professional and anyone who has lived through developmental trauma. This book has validated not only my professional experience, it has also validated my life experience!


Midfielder Matt Ritchie says Scotland know they need to get "maximum points" from their final four World Cup qualifying matches.
Gordon Strachan's Scotland sit fourth in Group F, four points behind second-placed Slovakia as they look to earn at least a play-off spot for Russia 2018.
The Scots visit Lithuania on Friday, host Malta three days later and face Slovakia and Slovenia next month.
"We know what we have to do," said Ritchie.
"We've looked at the numbers. We know that it's important to get maximum points, but we go into every game hoping to win the game and preparing as if we want to win the game.
"Hopefully, performance can be good and with a good performance normally comes a victory."
Ritchie, who played most of Newcastle United's 3-0 win over West Ham on Saturday, agrees with Strachan's view that the squad is in more confident mood following the performance in June's 2-2 draw with England.
"Obviously, I missed that meet-up," said Ritchie. "I've come back into the fold this time. You can feel that there's a belief that we can get the points we need.
"It's fantastic to get points on the board. Whether it's club football or international football, if each individual player turns up and is confident and enjoying football, the group will only be stronger.
"So, it's good that we've had a positive result at Newcastle and there's other lads that have had positive results as well, so hopefully the confidence throughout the group individually is high.
"Playing international football, there's always the pressure. The expectation is huge and the lads know that. We have to be able to handle it and that's part and parcel of being an international player."
Strachan said of Ritchie: "He should be confident because he is playing very well. He's in a better place than he was a couple of months ago. A couple of injuries held him back.
"He had a good season last year and what we've seen this year he's in a good place. When you get a win in the Premier League like he did, when you see the [wet] conditions we trained in, he believed it was nice and sunny. That's what happens when you win game of football."

U.S. Supreme Court to Hear Challenges to Gay Marriage: Ted Olsen and David Boies Team-Up to Defend Same-Sex Unions!
On Friday, the U.S. Supreme Court agreed to hear two cases challenging gay marriage. The two cases resulted from legislation passed in California and New York. The case in California is particularly interesting because the two attorneys defending gay marriage will be Ted Olsen and David Boies, who were pitted against each other in 2000 during the contested presidential election. The New York Times reported yesterday:
"The California case, Hollingsworth v. Perry, No. 12-144, was filed in 2009 by Theodore B. Olson and David Boies, two lawyers who were on opposite sides in the Supreme Court's decision in Bush v. Gore, which settled the 2000 presidential election. The suit argued that California voters had violated the federal Constitution the previous year when they overrode a decision of the state's Supreme Court allowing same-sex marriages.
A federal judge in San Francisco agreed, issuing a broad decision that said the Constitution required the state to allow same-sex couples to marry. The decision has been stayed.
A divided three-judge panel of the United States Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit, also in San Francisco, affirmed the decision. "
Ted Olsen is a well-known Washington Republican insider. The fact that he will be defending gay marriage is incredible and will have many social conservatives accusing him of being a traitor to their cause. This will add much drama to what will surely be carefully followed deliberations.

OSLO DIAMOND LEAGUE
ExxonMobil Bislett Games, Oslo
Many of the past stars of the ExxonMobil Bislett Games glorious first 50 years were in attendance in Oslo yesterday to celebrate the Golden Anniversary. And the fields were so strong and the hopes so high, but did anyone else feel a little Bleh! with the results?
I texted my pal Jack Waitz whose late wife Grete's statue stands out front of the historical oval, and even he came back with, "Boring!"
But as steeplechase pacer Haron Lagat posted on his Facebook account, "Oslo windy and humid". And sometimes when attempting something special that is all it takes to throw off our high expectations.
So, yes, Ethiopia's Genzebe Dibaba ran the seventh fastest 5000 ever with her 14:21.29. But the goal had been sister Tirunesh's 14:11.15 world record from 2008, which, as it turns out, was the last world record set on the track renown for establishing such marks. But when her pacers couldn't drag her through to even 2K on pace, forget it.
Then with high jump world record holder Javier Sotomayor of Cuba in the stands, there was hope that something close to his 2.45m record – which had come under assault several times last year – might come under fire once again, especially since all the top jumpers of the world were on hand.
But even with Mutaz Essa Barshim and Bogdan Bondarenko, Italy's Marco Fassinotti (who tied the Italian national record) and America's Erik Kynard clearing 2.33m — "well into the realm of respectability now," as per broadcaster Stuart Storey — we had China's Asian Games silver medalist Guowei Zhang winning at a relatively modest 2.36m.
At one point, according to Storey and partner Steve Cram, officials considered flipping the direction of the long jump runway to take advantage of the wind rather than run into it. In the end they didn't and England's Greg Rutherford leaped 8.25m for the win, but every event was a little off in the same way.
Great Britain's Laura Muir holds off Kenya's Faith Kipyegon in 1500m
Scotland's Laura Muir ran a gutty 4:00.39 to grab the 1500m win, but as had become the evening's habit, was the only competitor to chase the rabbit. In the end she had to hold form to win, though Kenya's Faith Kipyegon was closing smartly. Everyone else was two seconds or more behind.
Jairus Birech of Kenya dominated the men's steeplechase in 8:05.63, some six seconds up on Conseslus Kipruto in second. All the other big names were there, but 22 year-old Birech was again the sole man to latch onto the pace, and by 2K (5:21.83) had gapped the field.
France's Christoph Lemaitre took the 200m for men with a solid stretch run, but only in 20.21 as the headwind stripped time off all the sprints. Muriellle Ahoure held off Veronica Campbell Brown in the women's 100m, 11.03 to 11.08. To put that into perspective, Ahoure had posted a PR 10.81 finishing second at Prefontaine, but in Eugene she was pushed by a 1.7 m/sec. tailwind. Even the mighty Dream Mile which closed the program was lacking oomph.
Djiboudi's Ayanleh Souleiman touted a meet record attempt (3:44.90, Hicham el Guerrouj 1997) but after going out alone with the pacers in a heady 1:53.48, he was left breathless in the final lap after hitting the bell in 2:53. When he began to tie up, three hounds ran him down, led by lanky Kenyan Olympic champ Asbel Kiprop in 3:51.45.
As we continue to see, fewer prime contenders are going with the designated pacers in these Diamond League races. Are the paces just too daunting? The last senior men's world record at Bislett was Haile Gebrselassie's 26:31.32 in 1997. Yet when there are no pacers and fields just sit until the last lap, there is an audience that feels frustrated with that presentation, too.
SEBASTIAN COE – 1000m World Record in Oslo's Bislett Stadium 1981
Lord Sebastian Coe, he who ran two world records of his own in Olso (1:42.33 800m in `79 & 2:12.81 1000m in `81) was another of the past stars in attendance. The candidate for the IAAF presidency released his 100-Day Plan the day before in Oslo, outlining the initial push he would make if elected. Hopefully, he will seek some remedy to the constant sameness of the sport that made him famous.

Next TIME FOR A CHANGE?

Michael Caldwell says:
One of the issues with track and field (and road racing for that matter) is that the trend is more about expectations of records than victory. Not sure how this developed, but that doesn't seem to be the case in most of the "popular" sports. While people get excited if a PGA golfer breaks a record, it is secondary to actually winning the tournament. How many people watch NASCAR to see track records? Most just want their favorite driver to win. Why do people watch the NFL and NBA since most the scoring is actually the same from game to game. I have never heard an NBA fan say "that game was boring because neither team broke the scoring record." Maybe we need to increase the emphasis on who wins and how much $ they receive by placing to change the current trend.
bowermancurve says:
I disagree – if people watch a crappy NFL or NBA game, they say so. Regardless of records or expectations, a bad game is a bad game. While Bislett wasn't "crappy" by any measure, it was definitely missing something. I had the great fortune to attend the Pre Classic, Rome Golden Gala, Birmingham, and Oslo over the last couple weeks, and Oslo just didn't measure up from a competition standpoint. The breezy conditions played a role clearly, but I think it was just one of those days. I mean…look at the high jump competition. Nobody seemed to be "on" (Genzebe excepted) throughout the meet. I think it's okay for us to be honest when a meet just isn't that exciting. Bislett is still a great meet, there was still great talent there, and it doesn't mean the sport is in danger.
Bowermancurve:
That's quite a travel schedule. Who do you think you are, Larry Eder?!
The fact that the sport seems so defensive in the face of any criticism whatsoever suggests a fragility that doesn't become it. Today's races at the Adidas GP in NYC also felt like the athletes had on restrictor plates as well. The headwind didn't help, obviously, but every post-race chat was about how this plays into either the U.S. or World Champs, not about winning today's race. The sport can't expect to thrive if only the national or world championships count and everything else is just a prelim, including the Diamond League.
enquiring_mind says:
Perhaps people are getting too caught up in times or distances and not just simply enjoying the drama or competition. Every event had its share of drama or competition, if you weren't caught up in numbers. I didn't find it boring at all.
Dear Enquiring Mind: Perhaps much of it is the expectation placed on times rather than competition, especially when the conditions don't support fast times. Maybe there should be equivalency measures, so that Ahoure's 11.03 with a minus 4 m/sec wind would translate to her 10.81 at Pre with a plus 7 m/sec tailwind. Or whatever it might be. Plus, there are no perceived stakes at all, no mention of money or what a win or a fast time might generate in the overall scope of the meet or the tour. More context, please. Thanks for reading and replying.
David Hager says:
If you don't get it, this article is all about Coe and his agenda.
I felt bad thinking it – I flew from the US specifically for this meet! But I had the same thought; the whole meet just lacked oomph. It became clear early in the evening that we weren't going to see any memorable efforts, although Genzebe Dibaba had another gutsy solo run. The weather certainly played a part, you could feel the breeze gusting throughout the stadium, but as you say, the athletes simply aren't going with the pacers this year for some reason. In addition, and the athletes mentioned this too, at one point the shot put was simply shut down for 20 minutes while various ceremonies took place. It all just felt a little disjointed and odd. btw, I think Laura Muir was quite smart to run the way she did, it allowed her to take advantage of that trend and build an insurmountable lead.
Sometimes watching on TV or the computer gives an impression that is not shared from the stands. But when Jack Waitz wrote back saying the meet was boring, something was up. Let's see how things go this weekend in New York City. Thanks for replying.

The back story: I have a Master's degree in Professional Counseling and hold Licensure in the state of Tennessee as a Professional Counselor-Mental Health Services Provider. Additionally, I am a certified Mandatory Pre-screening Agent, meaning that I can sign an involuntary commitment to place someone in a psychiatric hospital. I have worked as a therapist in a Community Mental Health facility, as a Crisis Responder, as a group therapist in an Alcohol and Drug Addiction program. My current position is in drug and alcohol abuse research for a state university. I do not claim to be an expert, but I do claim to have a fair degree of common sense and I look at people as people, not as labels. I have seen the mental health system from the inside, and it isn't pretty. This post is my opinion concerning the usefulness, and the great potential for damage, when labeling people with a mental health diagnosis. The population that I am talking about here does not include those who have proven themselves to be dangerous; I am referring to the average person who seeks counseling.
The news media seem to be embracing the idea that mental health is the real issue that should be addressed in background checks that affect one's ability to own a firearm. I have heard some pundits pushing for repeal of HIPPA protections in regard to mental health records, going to far as to say that therapists should have the power to add people to a firearm "no-buy list". This position appeals to emotion, it sounds reasonable to those who are uninformed about the process. I have to wonder, what is the origin of this narrative? Is it coming from professionals in the mental health community? Or is it coming from the government and the state-controlled media, people who really have no idea what they are talking about? While I am in complete agreement that anyone who would aim a gun at a room full of children and start shooting is a special kind of crazy (I prefer the word 'evil'), the idea of mental health providers being mandated to release records of their clients troubles me on many levels.
My personal observation from working in the field of mental health is that DSM diagnosis is often sloppy and done for the convenience of the provider. I cannot count the times that I have seen young and otherwise healthy adults given some sort of label and prescribed one or more psychotropic medication(s). Even more heartbreaking is the number of children who have been labeled and medicated in much the same way. It is a travesty, and it is a self-fulfilling prophecy. People begin to identify themselves by their labels. They begin to embrace the lie that they are inherently flawed and unable to function in society. Often they file for disability based on their diagnosis, and they go on to live a life of hopelessness and despair. All because a psychiatrist or professional therapist talked to them for an hour (or less), looked up a few of their self-described problems in the DSM, and casually assigned them to a certain category in order to be reimbursed for services. But I digress.
To get back to the original reason for this post, it is beyond ridiculous to suggest that my 2nd Amendment right to own a firearm, or yours, should be based upon the completely subjective diagnosis of some sort of mental health disorder. On any given day, based on behaviors reported by others or by self-reported struggles, the DSM cookbook can be pulled out and more than one diagnosis can be arrived at and justified by a provider. Far too many in the field, good people who genuinely care, are forced to make these diagnoses by the system so that a funding source is satisfied and payment is made for the service. The whole thing stinks, and it will only get worse with Obamacare regulations.
We need to be very, very careful about advocating that mental health providers be mandated to release mental health records for ANY reason, especially to restrict the freedoms of fellow Americans, and we need to be doubly cautious about giving therapists the power to put someone on a list that denies the right to own a gun.
1) "It's not the method in which immigrants enter that bothers you; it's the race and income of those who do".
2) "You revealed your underlying bigotry by assuming the Tweet you replied to was referring to illegal immigrants. It was not".
That a person who describes herself as a "connoisseur of psychological disorders…fascinated by the Republican Disorder" cannot see the irony in what she said to me is, well, ironic. In psychological terms, I believe it's called projection, defined as a psychological defense mechanism in which a person subconsciously denies his or her own thoughts and emotions, which are then ascribed to other people. Based on an eight word reply to a post that lumps all Conservatives into one hate-filled basket, she declared me to be a racist bigot. But then, projection reduces anxiety by allowing the expression of unconscious impulses or desires without letting the conscious mind recognize them.
For the benefit of any Progressive who wanders upon this post (if he or she reads this far before jumping to conclusions about me), I would like to describe what I do Monday through Friday. I will preface this by saying that I do not do it for the money. I made more money as the Assistant Manager of a retail store, so let's go ahead and put the 'greedy Capitalist' notion to rest. There are many more lucrative things I could do if money were my god, but it is not.
I am an Addictions Counselor at a Community Mental Health facility. The clients that I work with are overwhelmingly very poor, and I serve all races and ethnicities. My specific caseload involves working with women who have lost their children due to drug addiction and/or legal violations; many times due to both. Many of them gave birth to babies who were addicted; most are involved in relationships with men who abuse them. They come to us with very little hope for the future. In the counseling room, I do not judge them for the situations that they are in. I support them, I educate them, I pour my heart into their hearts. By Friday, I am mentally and emotionally drained, but I see this work as God's call on my life (I hear Progressive heads exploding at that thought…) and by His grace I am able to love my ladies as He does. My clients are condemned and judged by almost everyone else in their lives. I, and my co-workers, offer them a hand. Not a handout.
In addition to working with them to overcome their drug addiction and deal with all the trauma that they have faced in their lives, I do Case Management work with my clients. I go to their homes, I help them get whatever they need. I go to court with them, I advocate for them with Child Protective Services. I link them with resources in the community to help them get back on their feet and get their children back. We offer help with educational and/or job opportunities. Our ultimate goal is to get them off of drugs, off of government assistance, and to give them the tools to stay clean and to live healthy, self-actualizing lives. In short, our goal is to give them back their self-esteem and to break the cycle of poverty and addiction from which most of them have come.
To the Progressives out there, and particularly to 'Casey', @pari_passu on Twitter, what I shared above could be described as getting into the trenches and getting your hands dirty trying to help people who need help, as opposed to screaming for more taxation so the almighty government will do it for you. It could also be called 'walking your talk', and I do it every day. Perhaps if Progressives could see beyond their own bigotry and stereotypical labels, a lot of the name-calling and hate out there would disappear. But then, that would upset their agenda of cradle-to-grave government entitlements, so I won't hold my breath.

Over the past weekend, we watched no less than twelve episodes of Lost, finishing season one and starting on season 2. It contributed to a very uneventful, unproductive, and scary-dream filled weekend. I had that stupid number sequence filtering through my head in my sleep and actually had to look up future plotlines on the internet so that I wouldn't be so completely obsessed over the show. Fortunately, I was able to get out of the house and away from my whiny 2-year old for a girls' night out with Michal on Saturday. I'm glad to be out of the dark living room and actually doing things like loading the dishwasher again and getting dressed daily. Today is day 8 of potty training and I have to say, progress is reeeeeeeeally slow, but I think there is progress nonetheless. I've called mom probably 6 times this week for tips and she gives me a little nudge of encouragement each day when I feel like quitting.
Anyway, all I'm saying is that I've in general been a little bit lost--in more ways than one--for quite a while now, and I think I'm finally coming out of it thanks to therapy and medication. So that's were I've been: the impossible, high-walled, dark-pitted throes of depression. There. I said it. I still have a long way to go, but I'm glad to finally start feeling a little bit more like myself again.
We had a wonderful trip to Washington last week. Here are a few pictures for your viewing pleasure. Leah and Samuel were little celebrities with all the Rafaels. I must have started forgetting the camera by about Tuesday, because I don't seem to have many pictures after then. Undocumented here are pictures of Chuck-E-Cheese's, which was a major hit with all the kids. The week can be summed up simply: lots of laughs, memories, fun, and lots of food.
It was a great week! It was so nice to finally meet the whole family after five years!
I just got home from a fantastic trip to Washington; I survived a solo flight with two children in tow; The baby is sleeping through the night; I slept in this morning; Spring is finally here, the buds have blossomed, and it was warm enough for flip-flops and capris, which fit; I had a restful day, stocked the fridge, and we had a great time at a neighbors BBQ; The kids are both bathed and put to bed and its only 9pm; I'm off the clock and have Netflix and Häagen-Dazs wating for me downstairs. Thus, I sigh with relief and exhaustion.
Okay, so tomorrow I have a meeting in the morning, followed by the usual marathon day at church; I haven't unpacked yet; I haven't blogged about my trip yet; I'm getting 3 fillings on Monday; I have to pay the bills, potty train Leah, and catch up on everything I missed in the past week...but for now, I'm sighing that great, albeit temporary sigh of contentment that everyone is fed and clean and happy and I can put my feet up and rest for the evening. These moments don't happen that often, but I am going to embrace this one. I think this is what I'd call a Shining Moment.
Finish this sentence: "When I went to BYU..."
Why was everyone so surprised when Michael Johns was voted off? I wasn't. I was suprised that Syesha was in the bottom three, because I thought her performance this week was fabulous.
Here is my prediction of who will be voted off, but not in any order: Jason (ack!), Christy Lee Cook, Brooke White, and Carly Smithson. That leaves David Archuleta, David Cook, and Syesha as my prediction for the top three, then I think it's a toss up. Then again, Christy's performance this week was better than past weeks, so I could be wrong. And as I said before, I was surprised that Syesha was in the bottom three, so maybe she's not as popular as she is talented. That's another issue--is this a popularity contest or a talent contest? I've said before that David Archuleta is very talented, but I think his popularity is pulling him through consistently week after week--he's never been in the bottom bracket. He's talented, but soooo very young and kind of cookie-cutter in his performances that I don't think he will be the winner (but Jordin was only 17, right?). That leaves me with my money on David Cook, but he could suffer from the Chris Daughtry phenomenon and be out of the running prematurely. Okay, so I've given my predictions, then refuted them all. I really have no idea.
*Update* I've put a poll in the sidebar for you to vote on who you think the next American Idol will be.
So I have been kind of out of it for the past couple weeks. I've been going to appointments. I've been wasting away playing PSP. I've been busy planning a funeral luncheon for a member of our ward who passed away. We've been watching Season 1 of Lost. We are preparing for a trip to Washington on Friday. But mostly, I've just been hiding.
Today I'm getting to serious business cleaning house and doing laundry so we can go out of town. I'm already tired. I came upstairs to get my flip-flops so I could take out the trash, but instead I sat down and started writing a blog post.
The other day I was in the middle of brushing my teeth when I looked down and realized that the toothbrush I was using was indeed purple. Figures.
I saw the dentist last week who confirmed that I have three cavities. Serves me right for bragging about never having a cavity and for eating M&M's for breakfast throughout my pregnancy.
What is that strange noise?
Birds chirping in the trees!
I got tagged by my cousin Jessica.
3. Find the 5th sentence.
4. Post said sentence on your blog.
Unfortunately, the closest book to me is one of my husband's and is called "Using Homework Assignments in Cognitive Behavior Therapy." Sounds intriguing. Here is the sentence: "We incorporate relevant case examples and conclude with a discussion of additional strategies to address homework noncompliance." Sounds like a real page-turner.
I'm tagging Michal, Kitara, Valerie, Raquel, and Jackie.
I just discovered LilyPadz. What an ingenious invention. If you are nursing, you might consider checking these out. It has solved my soggy sheets problem.
Yesterday I took Leah to Kangaroo Zoo. She had a lot of fun. It only cost me $5, but I still have a considerable headache.
The baby is starting to sleep for 6-7 hour increments at night. Praise the heavens.
I've been habitually checking out books that I have good intentions of reading, then returning them dusty and unread four weeks later and paying a late fee. I've been ignoring my house and my laundry, and we've been watching a lot of the Disney channel. I've even gotten behind on blog-reading and I've stopped checking my email except for once a day.
See? I told you I'm just not feeling the witty gene right now. This is what I would call a funk.
You can bet that I will continue to be MIA for a little while longer until we return from our trip to WA, the weather warms up, and I finally come out of hibernation. There are big things on the horizon--potty training being one of them.
After spending several hours wandering aimlessly at a favorite one-stop shop (should I keep it nameless?), we finally headed toward the exit. Mom was a little frazzled, the baby had a poopy diaper, and Leah was wired to say the least. It was 5:00: time to go home, have dinner, and finally unwind. The checker sensed my exhaustion and gave me kudos for sticking it out, reminding me that his best memories are with little kids in tow. I sighed and responded "by the time we get home, everyone will be crying" (and I fully meant for that to include me).
Oh, what a prophesy. Leah had been happily pushing the cart along with me, being a super trooper after a too-long afternoon, when merely moments later she biffed it and split her chin open on a metal rail of the shopping cart. You'd think that such an amount of blood with such a calibre of crying would warrant a "code red," but to the contrary, such is a "code green." I looked at the same kind checker (because we didn't get very far) and said "What did I tell ya?"
A code green warranted no less than six store personnel (maybe there were more), who converged upon us practically instantaneously and provided alcohol swabs, an ice pack, paper towels, an icee treat for Leah, and lets not forget to mention the incident report form. Why didn't anybody think to bring a bandaid?
Michal came to my rescue and provided moral support and baby-assistance while we went to Instacare. After a $35 copay, five stitches, and a sucker, we were home at 7:00. Leah was a trooper, but there was a significant amount of tears. Oh, and as she walked in the front door to our house, she fell on her face and gave herself a fat, bloody lip. Figures.
Just for the record, the adrenaline of an over-extended, accident-prone afternoon combined with an Icee, a sucker, and cookies in a two hour period before dinner makes a two year old completely unreasonable and literally bounce off the walls. Subsequently, the parents begin to go BONKERS!

Robert Smith ( - ) était un homme politique américain, second secrétaire à la Marine des États-Unis de 1801 à 1809, et sixième Secrétaire d'État de 1809 à 1811.

Biographie
Robert Smith naît à Lancaster dans la Province de Pennsylvanie. Pendant la guerre d'indépendance américaine, il est engagé dans l'armée continentale et participe à la bataille de Brandywine. Il est diplômé de l'Université de Princeton en 1781 et commence à exercer le droit dans le Maryland.

Il devient président du collège électoral du Maryland en 1789, puis membre du Sénat du Maryland de 1793 à 1795, avant de devenir membre de la chambre du Maryland de 1796 à 1800.

Le président Jefferson le nomme secrétaire à la Marine en , après le refus de William Jones. Il est brièvement confirmé comme Attorney General en 1805 à la suite du refus de  de devenir Secrétaire à la Marine, avant que Jefferson ne nomme John Breckinridge pour le remplacer et le laisse à plein temps à son poste de Secrétaire à la Marine, qu'il quitte à la fin du mandat de Jefferson, le .

Le successeur de Jefferson, James Madison, le nomme immédiatement Secrétaire d'État, poste qu'il occupe du  à sa démission forcée, le .

À ce poste, il s'oppose régulièrement au secrétaire du Trésor Albert Gallatin, et alors que Madison pensait pouvoir gérer lui-même les affaires étrangères, Smith poursuit régulièrement des politiques tellement opposées que Madison lui demande finalement de démissionner. Dans son Memorandum sur Robert Smith, Madison liste en  la longue liste de ses griefs à l'encontre de Smith : il met en cause sa loyauté, la qualité de sa correspondance diplomatique, son indiscrétion vis-à-vis des britanniques et son opposition à la volonté de l'administration d'obtenir des concessions de la France et de la Grande-Bretagne en limitant le commerce.

Visiblement outragé par ces reproches, Robert Smith publie un démenti vigoureux et attaque la politique étrangère de Madison. Celui-ci lui offre le poste d'ambassadeur en Russie, alors occupé par John Quincy Adams, que Smith considère mais finalement refuse.

Il se retire dans le Maryland, et meurt à Baltimore le  à l'âge de 85 ans.

Q: rsync on Windows copies executables all over again I am using rsync via cygwin to create incremental backups from a Windows 8.1 machine. It worked perfect for over a year. But a few weeks ago it started to re-copy existing files (and these files have a wrong modification date on the backup disc.)
The files that are re-copied are always executables: exe, bat, js, vbs, dll
The command line is the following:

rsync.exe
          "-rltv"
          "--progress"
          "--hard-links"
          "--delete"
          "--ignore-errors"
          "--force"
          "--link-dest=../../2016.07.04_09.52.23/?????"
          "/cygdrive/G/?????/"
          "/cygdrive/W/?????/2016.08.15_13.18.49/?????"

I tried disabling my anti-virus protection, but no luck.
What is causing this problem? Why is the modification date suddenly wrong transferred? And why for executables only?
Lately I found out the issue I have has someone else too, except he is using a different application: http://www.2brightsparks.com/bb/viewtopic.php?t=11567 Seems like a Windows copy-file issue...?

A: What's this about wrong modification date on the backup disk? Rsync uses the modification time (and size) to determine if it should skip files. If there's something funky going on with that data, it may explain why you're having trouble.
Give this a try. You can append the --checksum argument to have rsync skip files based on checksums instead of modification time and size.
man rsync
    -c, --checksum              skip based on checksum, not mod-time & size

A: Try using rsync with:
rsync --modify-window=2


Strings in single quotes are simple strings. They don't support escaping, so they can't contain other single quotes.
Strings in double quotes support expansion: any variable can be included in the string if prefixed with a dollar sign $. If $a has the value 'there', the string "Hello $a" evaluates to 'Hello there'. Complete expressions can be expanded, too, but they have to be enclosed in parentheses, as in "Hello $(expression)".
Double quoted string als support escaping with the backtick-character ` for special characters like the double quote, the dollar sign and the backtick itself. A single backtick at the end of the line is used for line continuation, and `r `n `b `f `t are the usuals: CR, LF, BS, FF, TAB.
Both single and double quoted string can span multple lines. An end-of-line is translated into a CR (`r).
In this example, the string does not start with an en-of-line, nor does it end in one. The EOL right after the opening @" is not included and neither is the EOL before the closing "@.
The single-quoted here-string, like the normal single-quoted string, does not support expansion, nor escaping.
Both expand the variable $b. If that variable doesn't exist, an empty string is expanded – in effect removing the variable from the string.
[string]"a b c" # --> one element: "a b c"
Some-Command is the source of the pipeline: its output is passed into the pipeline.
$y = 'test' # Declares y to be a string with the value "test"
$x = "abc" # Error: Cannot convert value "abc" to type "System.Int32"
