'Psychic' who reported mass grave north of Houston must pay $7 million
A self-described psychic who triggered a media frenzy when she told authorities a Liberty County couple had a mass grave on their property has been ordered to pay the couple $6.8 million.
A Dallas County judge issued the judgment May 7 against Presley "Rhonda" Gridley, the sole remaining defendant in a lawsuit filed a year ago.
"Whether it will be collectible, we're going to pursue that," said Dallas attorney Andrew Sommerman.
He represents plaintiffs Joe Bankston and Gena Charlton in the suit that has concluded, except for efforts to collect the judgment.
Gridley, 50, failed to appear in court May 7 for the bench trial before Judge Carl Ginsberg in the 193rd State District Court, records stated.
Ginsberg found that Gridley had made defamatory statements about Bankson and Charlton on June 6, 2011, when she volunteered false information to the Liberty County Sheriff's Office, claiming that a mass grave containing dismembered bodies was at the plaintiffs' home.
The defendant's false statement injured the plaintiffs' reputation and exposed them to public hatred, contempt, ridicule and financial injury, the complaint stated.
For damages suffered, the judge awarded $3 million in damages to Bankson and $3,849,000 to Charlton, plus 5 percent interest from the date of the occurrence in 2011.
The suit was filed June 5, 2012, almost exactly a year after the alleged incident took place.
In the initial complaint and other documents filed through August 2011, Gridley was referred to as "Jane Doe, a self-proclaimed psychic going by the name of 'Angel.'" Her name began appearing in court documents as Presley "Rhonda" Gridley in September.
The suit alleges that Gridley called the Liberty County Sheriff's Office and falsely claimed that 25 to 30 dismembered bodies were buried in a mass grave at the plaintiffs' residence.
The sheriff's office repeated the false statements to various news media organizations and provided the plaintiff's address, the suit states.
"Over the course of the day, media defendants began to exaggerate and eventually make up facts about Plaintiffs, including that a mass grave existed on the property, including the bodies of children," the suit states.
Media reports based upon false claims of found bodies were circulated worldwide, the suit said.
When initially filed, the suit's defendants included Liberty County and six media outlets, which over time were dismissed.
The suit was filed in Dallas County because one of the defendants, Belo Corp., has its principal place of business there, according to the initial complaint.
A few days after the 2011 incident, Gridley told the Houston Chronicle that she has had visions her entire life. After confiding with two friends who were having similar visions about three children who might be in trouble, she told the Chronicle she contacted the Liberty County Sheriff's Office.

Post subject: Steven W. Mosher and Population Control
Is it really fair to blame a single individual on a single U.S. policy decision that, according to John Hopkins researchers, has resulted in 1.9 million infant deaths, 135,000 maternal deaths, 60 million unintended pregnancies, and 25 million abortions. Maybe not fair, but were going to. Of course, it was president George W. Bush who ultimately made the decision, but we need to look at the person who persuaded Bush to make this policy decision, which could charitably called completely insane.
The decision was denying Congressionally authorized funds to the United Nations Fund for Population Activities, or UNFPA. This unilateral Bush decision makes absolutely no sense, unless you believe that the world has too few people and that birth control is unnecessary, and it is better to let a woman die than give her an abortion. Bingo. That is exactly what Steven W. Mosher, president of the Population Research Institute believes. And he is the man that Bush has listened to on this subject.
Mosher argues that overpopulation is a myth, and that the efforts of population controllers to reduce human numbers have led to massive human rights abuses and undermined the health of women and children. He believes that U.N. family planning programs are part of a New World Order conspiracy. He makes the unbelievable claim that the entire worlds population could fit comfortably in the state of Texas. I fail to see how anyone could be comfortable in Texas, let alone with everyone there.
Under Moshers leadership, one of PRIs main objectives has been to undermine UNFPA, something they have succeeded in spectacularly. It was PRIs so-called 2002 investigation of UNFPA that convinced Bush to cut off funding. Bush continues to cut-off funding, despite the fact that a subsequent investigation, a real one this time, by the U.S. State Department repudiated PRIs claims. In fact, the claims that UNFPA were helping the Chinese forced sterilization programs turned out to be just the opposite, as they were actually successfully encouraging China to move to voluntary policies and a choice of family planning methods.
PRIs research is contrary to research done by more legitimate organizations. PRIs so-called experts hold no academic or research credentials. Mosher lacks a doctorate in China studies, population studies, or any field of research, yet he is repeatedly cited as an anthropologist and sociologist, something you normally have to have a degree for. In fact, he was kicked out of Stanford Universitys anthropology program for illegal and seriously unethical conduct.
PRI was founded by Benedictine Priest Paul Marx, a racist and anti-family planning extremist. Under Mosher, PRI continue to be anti-abortion, anti-sterilization, anti-birth control, anti-family planning, anti-sex education and anti-common sense. PRI claims that the International Planned Parenthood Federations population control is frequently used to "subdue" Catholic populations, and that the abortion industry targets Catholic women. Here are some gems from their weekly bulletins, the first on sex education: Disputes over the content of sex indoctrination curricula are moot. The only way to prevent illegitimate pregnancy and STDs is through chastity and monogamy Only virtuous behavior, not modern technology, can prevent these ills. And this one on contraception: As our founder, Fr. Paul Marx, is fond of saying, Contraception always leads to abortion In every single country where contraceptives became widely available, abortions increased The contraceptive mentality, the dedication to no or few children combined with free and easy sexual relations, leads to abortion. And this one on Plan B, the over the counter emergency contraceptive: The fact that (the FDA) is even considering (OTC approval for Plan B emergency contraception) is another example of the power of the feminist dogma, a power that trumps threats to young womens health from this potentially dangerous and certainly unproven method of birth control and abortion.
Mosher gives talks concerning impoverished third world countries such as Promoting and protecting the large family and Welcoming babies and larger families. He is the author of the PRI Weekly Briefing titled "How Not to Win the War on Terror: Keep Exporting Abortion and Sex Education." He claims that the American Left is "in part responsible for the rise of Islamic terrorism against the West" through its "relentless promotion of abortion, sexual promiscuity, homosexuality, divorce and other rights' at home and abroad." And just try and wrap your head around this Mosher quote: The massive distribution of condoms in Africa has not only not stopped the spread of AIDS, it has put millions of more at risk of infection in the name of prevention. Or ths one: The sad truth is, USAID's family planning programs in Africa have caused AIDS. The integration of AIDS relief and family planning is a recipe for further disaster.
He holds extreme anti-China views, and calls those who do not share his views Panda Huggers. His main claim to fame is his expertise on China and skill in the local languages, but his main focus is criticizing their family planning agenda. He is a converted Catholic and hero in some Catholic circles for his dogged support of the unsupportable church positions on birth control that have led to uncountable misery throughout the world
Mosher argues that under Robert McNamara, the World Bank and other international financial lending agencies served as "loan sharks" for those groups and individuals who were pressuring developing countries to adopt fertility reduction programs for self-interest reasons.
Youd think that no one would listen to this nutball. Except, one very important person does. The President of the United States. Which explains why the Bush administration has built alliances with anti-family planning conservative Islamic states, and the U.S. restrictions on USAID funding, and the millions that Bush has blocked from International family planning groups. It is little wonder then that when Bush put Wolfowitz in charge of the World Bank, it abruptly started moving away from including birth control and population planning in its considerations, despite the fact that the receiving countries were asking for help in these areas. Mosher is a strong supporter of the man Wolfowitz put in charge of this effort to restrict family planning in the World Bank.
Yeah, I think we can safely put the blame on Stephen Mosher.

On World Health Day, the World Health Organization draws attention to a public health problem of global proportions. This year, the theme for World Health Day is vector-borne diseases.
What is a vector-borne disease?
A vector-borne disease is a disease that results from an infection transmitted to humans and other animals by blood-feeding anthropods, like mosquitoes, ticks, and fleas. Examples of vector-borne diseases include Dengue Fever, viral encephalitis, Lyme disease, and malaria.
More than one-half the world's population is at risk for these vector-borne diseases, which also include leishmaniasis and yellow fever. The poorest people in the world are the most affected by these illnesses. Environmental change and the rapid and increased movement of people and goods around the world means that the risks are now much more widespread.
How prevalent are these diseases in 2014?
The discovery of synthetic insecticides in the 1940s was a major breakthrough for the control of vector-borne diseases like malaria. Large-scale indoor spraying programs throughout the 1950s and 1960s considerably helped to get many of the major vector-borne diseases under control.
By the late 1960s, many of those vector-borne diseases (with the exception of malaria in Africa) weren't considered a primary public health issue. As a result of this decline, control programs lapsed and resources dwindled, resulting in a sharp reduction in entomologists and specialists in vector control from public health programs.
Within the last 2 decades, some vector-borne diseases have re-emerged or spread to new parts of the world. Traditionally regarded as a problem for countries in tropical settings, vector-borne diseases pose an increasing threat to global public health, both in terms of the number of people affected and their ability to spread.
Fighting vector-borne diseases requires renewed momentum on a global scale- from global public health agencies, between countries and within regions, across government sectors, at all levels of government, and within communities and households.
What are the objectives of World Health Day 2014?
This year's campaign aims to raise awareness about the threat posed by vectors and vector-borne diseases. Since these vector-borne diseases are preventable, 2014's World Health Day also aims to stimulate families and communities to take action and protect themselves.
The WHO aims to help families living in these prone areas learn more about how they can protect themselves. It also wants to help travelers learn more about how to protect themselves when traveling to areas where vectors and vector-borne diseases are a major health threat.

Fremont man sentenced for Tahoe casino attack on two women
MINDEN, Nev. — A Fremont man has been sentenced to 32 months in prison for beating two women at a Lake Tahoe casino so severely that one victim suffered a miscarriage.
Douglas County District Judge Tod Young imposed the sentence Tuesday on 27-year-old Huy Phan.
Gardnerville's Record-Courier reports Phan pleaded guilty in December to battery causing substantial bodily harm, which carried a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison.
Phan is accused of beating the two women in a Stateline casino hallway on Jan. 8 while he was with his sister and four other men.
The other victim has undergone multiple surgeries for facial injuries after being knocked unconscious.
Neither victim knew the others or what prompted the attack. They're close friends.
Phan claims he was trying to protect his sister.

(CMT Offstage keeps a 24/7 watch on everything that's happening with country music artists behind the scenes and out of the spotlight.)
I know exactly what Jake Owen means about this kind of deep, deep love. When he was in Chicago last week, he told me about this parental epiphany he had when his baby girl Pearl was born on Thanksgiving Day. "I get now how my parents love me so much. When you're a kid, you don't understand that. You wonder how your parents could love you as much as they say they do," he said. But now that he's a father, it all makes perfect sense. Owen gets that love now. "The day that I take Pearl to school for the first time and she walks inside with a little backpack on, that's when I'll realize, 'Wow, this is hard. I love her so much.'" Owen and his wife Lacey are enjoying every minute of Pearl so far. And obviously, Owen's the one on lullaby duty. "She likes Marty Robbins," he told me. "And she likes when I make songs up. Like, 'Our little Pearl, came into this world, on Thanksgiving Day, and she had a lot of hair,'" Owen sang. Probably not a radio hit, but I'm sure his littlest fan adores it.

January 2009 - Newsletter 90
Memory Lane: Dacca, Bangladesh
One of our ports of call in 1984 was the city of Dacca in Bangladesh. We had 3 concerts to do here in the theatre and by this time we were well travelled and thought we'd seen it all. On the first night, however, two policemen came, with their rifles, and stood either side of the stage. We didn't know whether they were there to protect us and we were in no position to tell them to 'go away' so we just got on with the show. The next night there were 5 or 6 policemen backstage but no one else took any notice and they, like the audience, seemed to be enjoying themselves so another evening passed successfully. The third night you couldn't move for coppers and rifles. This time they were definitely in the way, especially when we nipped off to the wings to change costumes during the mummers play, but they were all very jovial so all we could do was smile back. Then it dawned on us that word had gone around the police station that The Yetties show was a bit of a giggle and they were just taking a couple of hours off work. I'm positive that if Pete, who played St. George, had asked for a rifle to fight the Turkish Knight (Mac) instead of his sword they would have happily obliged him. I hope for their sakes the sergeant didn't find out and there weren't too many burglaries on their beats.

Doing the Dorset Dirt
Well, we made it!! After weeks of rain though it should have been called 'The Dorset Mud' or even 'Flood'. Fortunately it didn't rain on the day, if it had then life would have been very unpleasant. As it was we arrived back in Dorchester completely plastered in chalky slime. I'm still chipping bits off from unusual places. It's the bike I'm talking about you understand. The object was to raise money for Halsway Manor Library Development Fund and, thanks to your generosity, I was able to add over £800 to the bank balance. I don't actually know the exact figure because some of it went directly to Halsway. Needless to say I'm pretty chuffed with the result. Next years ride has already been mentioned by my co-nutters so I'll have to keep fit and try and make sure I'm not in Kettering the night before.

This is a concert, which is always a great pleasure to do, but doesn't crop up very often. I am frequently asked when we are going to perform it again and this year, so far, there are three opportunities to see it. Two are mentioned in this Newsletter at Charlton Horethorne near Sherborne and Bradwell Grove near Burford. The third is in the church at Aust in Gloucestershire on Saturday, 13th of June. Your contact there is Dr. Peter Dobbins on 01454 632306.

The U.S. military may have to do more with less in Afghanistan as the White House considers stepped-up air strikes on suspected al-Qaida in neighboring Pakistan, according to reports.
Gen. Stanley A. McChrystal, the top military officer in Afghanistan, has started telling commanders to retreat from remote outposts and focus on protecting major Afghan population centers, The Washington Post reported. The move will likely infuriate Afghan leaders, who fear it will make their government appear weak. But McChrystal and other top military officials believe the new strategy will maximize resources until the president sends more reinforcements, according to the Post.
Those new troops may not arrive. Top aides to President Obama are saying that the U.S. could decide instead to expand counterterror operations in Pakistan with unmanned drones, The Associated Press reports. Two senior administration officials told the AP there are now more followers of Osama bin Laden's terror network in Pakistan than Afghanistan -- and it may make more sense to go after them. Vice President Biden is among those opposed to sending more troops to Afghanistan, but the president has not yet made a decision either way, according to the report.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
On Sunday, the Washington Post published parts of a leaked report Gen. McChrystal wrote warning that unless Afghanistan gets a major influx of troops by next year the mission will likely end in failure.

The argument I'm hearing sporadically of 'McCullum may thrive in terms of run-scoring with the captaincy' is rubbish. If his own standards and his country meant anything to him, he'd get on and score runs anyway. Like Ross does.
Can anyone think of one of those gay Brangelina names for Hesson and McCullum? Messon has a ring to it

I'd go one step farther than Tony's good suggestion on creating indexes on foreign keys.

Polly Bill 30 August 1782
Joseph Bill 3 February 1748
Copp's Hill Burying Ground is the second oldest cemetery in Boston, dating from 1659. There are thousands of graves and 272 tombs, but many are unmarked or lost to the ages. It lies close to the Old North Church (made famous by Paul Revere and Longfellow's poem) and is a stop on Boston's Freedom Trail. From the burial ground you can overlook Boston harbor, Charlestown and Winthrop.
In the book Boston's Copp's Hill Burying Ground Guide there is a list of seven gravestones for the Bill family, but even though we have visited this cemetery several times we have only found these three stones. The Bill family lived in Boston, Rumney Marsh (now the town of Revere), and at Bill's Farm (now part of the town of Winthrop). I haven't found any direct ancestor's burial site from my Bill lineage, but these are all descendants of John Bill, born about 1598 probably in Wales, and died about 21 January 1638 in Boston.
For more information please see Boston's Copp's Hill Burying Ground Guide by Charles Chauncey Wells, Chauncey Park Press, Oak Park, Illinois, 1998.

Researchers examining a coal mine in Colombia have found the fossil remains of a species of snake that they say weighed 2500 pounds and grew to 45 feet long. And while those super-sized snakes may be enough to give some people nightmares, the presence of such a massive reptile is useful to climate scientists.
'Titanoboa,' as the new species has been named, would need to have lived in warmer temperatures. Scientists estimate that the average temperature at the time of Titanoboa would have needed to be 6 to 8 degrees warmer for the animal to survive. We'll find out more.

A quotation by Hermann Weyl
Our federal income tax law defines the tax y to be paid in terms of the income x; it does so in a clumsy enough way by pasting several linear functions together, each valid in another interval or bracket of income. An archeologist who, five thousand years from now, shall unearth some of our income tax returns together with relics of engineering works and mathematical books, will probably date them a couple of centuries earlier, certainly before Galileo and Viète.
The Mathematical Way of Thinking, an address given at the Bicentennial Conference at the University of Pennsylvania, 1940.
We are not very pleased when we are forced to accept a mathematical truth by virtue of a complicated chain of formal conclusions and computations, which we traverse blindly, link by link, feeling our way by touch. We want first an overview of the aim and of the road; we want to understand the idea of the proof, the deeper context.
Unterrichtsblätter für Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften, 38, 177-188 (1932). Translation by Abe Shenitzer appeared in The American Mathematical Monthly, v. 102, no. 7 (August-September 1995), p. 646.
A modern mathematical proof is not very different from a modern machine, or a modern test setup: the simple fundamental principles are hidden and almost invisible under a mass of technical details.
Unterrichtsblätter für Mathematik und Naturwissenschaften, 38, 177-188 (1932). Translation by Abe Shenitzer appeared in The American Mathematical Monthly, v. 102, no. 7 (August-September 1995), p. 646.
The constructs of the mathematical mind are at the same time free and necessary. The individual mathematician feels free to define his notions and set up his axioms as he pleases. But the question is will he get his fellow mathematician interested in the constructs of his imagination. We cannot help the feeling that certain mathematical structures which have evolved through the combined efforts of the mathematical community bear the stamp of a necessity not affected by the accidents of their historical birth. Everybody who looks at the spectacle of modern algebra will be struck by this complementarity of freedom and necessity.
My work has always tried to unite the true with the beautiful and when I had to choose one or the other, I usually chose the beautiful.
In an obituary by Freeman J. Dyson in Nature, March 10, 1956.
... numbers have neither substance, nor meaning, nor qualities. They are nothing but marks, and all that is in them we have put into them by the simple rule of straight succession.
"Mathematics and the Laws of Nature" in The Armchair Science Reader (New York 1959).
Without the concepts, methods and results found and developed by previous generations right down to Greek antiquity one cannot understand either the aims or achievements of mathematics in the last 50 years.
[Said in 1950]
The American Mathematical Monthly, v. 100. p. 93.
Logic is the hygiene the mathematician practices to keep his ideas healthy and strong.
The American Mathematical Monthly, November, 1992.
I would like to throttle the man who wrote this book.
Quoted in D MacHale, Comic Sections (Dublin 1993)
The whole is always more, is more capable of a much greater variety of wave states, than the combination of its parts. ... In this very radical sense, quantum physics supports the doctrine that the whole is more than the combination of its parts.
Philosophy of Mathematics and Natural Science (Princeton 1949)
Mathematics has been called the science of the infinite. Indeed, the mathematician invents finite constructions by which questions are decided that by their very nature refer to the infinite. This is his glory.
Axiomatic versus constructive procedures in mathematics, The Mathematical Intelligencer 7 (4) (19850, 10-17.
The question of the ultimate foundations and the ultimate meaning of mathematics remains open; we do not know in what direction it will find its final solution or even whether a final objective answer can be expected at all. "Mathematizing" may well be a creative activity of man, like language or music, of primary originality, whose historical decisions defy complete objective rationalization.
Symmetry, as wide or narrow as you may define its meaning, is one idea by which man through the ages has tried to comprehend and create order, beauty, and perfection.
In these days the angel of topology and the devil of abstract algebra fight for the soul of every individual discipline of mathematics.

**No longer available to incoming students**
Imagine a cockpit as your classroom, and the adrenaline rush you'll feel during that very first ascent. Think of how exciting it will be to rise and soar across the sky, piloting an actual airplane. At Lakeland University, you don't have to imagine flying, because you can actually do it. Yes, with our innovative aviation-as-a-minor strategy, you can earn full certification while completing a four-year degree. So when you leave Lakeland, you are leaving with two potential career paths, including becoming a professional pilot.
Take to the sky
Lakeland is the only four-year college in Wisconsin with a professional flight training program, offering private pilot certification through multi-engine commercial pilot certification. Lakeland offers aviation as a minor program, and students can earn full flight certification while completing a four-year degree in another discipline.
Students will take most of the 31 credit hours in the air. Students begin learning visual flight skills in Cirrus SR-20s.
Aviation at Lakeland
Industry experts are predicting pilots will be in high demand in coming years:
- USA Today recently reported that aircraft maker Boeing forecasts a need for 466,660 pilots by 2029 – an average of 23,300 new pilots a year.
- From the USA Today article: "The demand for pilots will be so great that the industry could ultimately face a shortage, sparking fierce competition among airlines across the globe vying for candidates qualified to fill their cockpits."
- Quoted was Sherry Carbary, vice president of flight services for Boeing Commercial Airplanes in Seattle, who said: "It's a global marketplace for pilots, and … we'll not have enough if that growth trend continues over the next few years … Where is our pipeline of new pilots going to come from, and how are we going to finance them?"
- Experts say thousands of existing pilots will soon hit the mandatory retirement age of 65.
- Kelly Murphy, a spokesperson for the Regional Airline Association, said during an interview that regional airports will have the greatest need for pilots, because larger airlines will hire qualified pilots away from the regional airlines.

I've been using StackOverflow since the beta. As you'll see if you look at my profile I don't have a huge rep, and morally I guess I should have answered more questions by now, but frankly the world is so keen on answering C# questions especially that they're mostly gone before I get the chance.
Anyway the point is that I'm a long-time SO user who has keenly followed its progress; I used to listen to the podcast and I think I understand the philosophies behind it.
Now, while I still find it immensely useful, it's at the point where the so-pervasive moderation just leaves me feeling unwelcome and like there are hoards of awful literal-minded jobsworths cruising the site just looking for the slightest reason to close a question down.
What's more, when I searched meta looking for others that might have expressed the same concerns as me, any that had had been massively downvoted, adding to my feeling that the active and engaged part of the community can't deal with any criticism.
Clearly I need to give examples at this point. Well the question that led me here was this one https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8639591/modifying-headers-on-chrome. I checked the FAQ and that question clearly meets the criterion that it is about "software tools commonly used by programmers". It is also answerable, and indeed has been answered, very usefully for me. But it's been closed as Off Topic by 5 users! Why??
The other one that springs to mind was an old question of mine that someone had removed the word "Thanks" from the bottom of the question. Now I understand why you don't want each question to be full of noise, but really, the word "thanks". Why bother editing it? It benefits noone but just leaves me feeling (very) slightly violated and unwelcome.
Perhaps I'm overreacting somewhat, but I do find that SO is becoming a home for (often incorrect) pedants and nitpickers rather than the rich resource it was and should still be.

Fed, oil and economic worries push down stocks
Business, Published on 10/08/2015
» Recap: Major global stock markets continued to fluctuate last week. The Dow Jones was pressured by underperforming company results and the growing possibility of a Fed rate increase and European bourses fell with global oil prices. Asia's large markets rose, led by gains in China and Hong Kong on growing speculation that the Beijing government would take more steps to restore shaky confidence in equities.

The day before yesterday, another in a seemingly endless stream of first steps was published. A study of a whole new way of combating MS was published in the "Archives of Neurology." The new form of treatment used "genetic material" that tell cells to produce basic myelin protein (BMP), which is a component of the myelin our MS is depleting.
While the study included only 30 patients with multiple sclerosis (both RR and SP!), the results were favorable enough for a second phase to include nearly 300 people living with MS.
I was happy to see that one of the major factors they were looking at was tolerability of the treatment. They call them "adverse events," but we know them as side effects. All of these adverse events were considered mild to moderate and brief and not much different as compared to placebo.
For those of you with an aversion to clinical jargon, I found a much more readable synopsis of the study on the National MS Society's Web site.
It, like most things at this stage of research, will take years and years to come to market; if it does at all. Still, it's nice to know that the pipeline is being fed.
Enjoy your weekend. I'll be participating in our annual "Team Gleason" Block Sale to Fight MS. I hope it doesn't rain…
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

Hi - I'm Dr. Terilyn J. Goins; my students call me Doc G. My favorite Bible verse is Ecclesiastes 3: 1, To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven. Regardless of where I am in my life, I know that God has a purpose and a plan and my desire, above all else, is to fulfill the purpose for which He created me.
My B.S., M.A. and Ph.D. are all in the field of Communication Studies; B.S. from Liberty University, M.A. from University of Virginia, and Ph.D. from Indiana University. I have been a professor of communication for the past 25 years. For the past six years, I have been teaching both graduates and undergraduates at Regent University in Virginia Beach, Virginia. Prior to that, I was a full time professor at Christopher Newport University for 16 years, 13 in Communication Studies and three in Leadership Studies, and I served as the chair of Communication Studies for three years.
My primary research interests are in the scholarship of teaching and gender communication. I'm particularly interested in the way we frame our reality through our language and ways in which our culture defines women and men based on their biological rather than psychological makeup. I recently published a leadership text for the Leisure Studies discipline, serving as co-editor and a contributing author.When I'm not teaching, consulting, or writing, I do motivational/music presentations in which I intertwine an inspirational message with my music. I have recorded five vocal CDs, three of which are contemporary Christian and inspirational music, one is Christmas music, and one of my originals.

This wireless visitor Driveway Alarm from OPTEX is one of Home Security Store's most highly rated and recommended products. That's because OPTEX has really perfected its advanced and reliable wireless technology in the long RF transmission range of the Wireless 1000 which, as the name implies, is 1000 feet.
You can use the Wireless 1000 for many applications including as a perimeter alert for your home or shop, driveway alarm to detect approaching vehicles, an entry or walkway chime, a wireless doorbell, and as a warehouse delivery notification system. In addition, the Wireless 1000 can help monitor hard to see areas or shoplifting zones, dressing rooms and fitting rooms, unauthorized exits, jewelry display boxes, and drive-up windows.
The Wireless 1000 has 2 detection patterns. A long range of 50 feet and a fan pattern range of 17 feet. The detection pattern adjusts easily for perfect aiming. In addition, the Wireless 1000 can alert you by 3 different chime tones that a zone has been breached. The alert tones have 5 different sensitivity levels and can be set to sound up to 80 dB. If you choose to incorporate more transmitters, the receiver can also identify which zones have been breached by certain tones. Up to 12 transmitters can be incorporated.
The Wireless 1000 not only operates as a perimeter awareness system, but can trigger other devices such as door strikes, lights, sirens, cameras, and more. The system is triggered when someone passes by the system sensor, but can also work manually by a hand-held push-button device which is sold as an accessory and has a transmission range of 700 feet.
The sensor is about the size of a softball and is designed to mount easily on walls, ceilings, fence posts, and desktops. The sensor is also weather-proof. The receiver is about the size of an average hand and can be held, mounted to a wall, or stood up on a table.
With the Wireless 1000, installation is easy. Just two buttons prompt all the set-up functions needed. Again, as the name implies, no wiring is required and you can install the system anywhere inside or outside a home or business. The sensor operates off a 9V battery which should last on average about two years, and the receiver operates with an AC adapter (which is included in the kit).

In 1933, Tom Yawkey purchased the Red Sox and brought with him the much needed capital to turn the ballclub around. Though the team's record in 1933 didn't show it, Yawkey and his general manager, Eddie Collins, immediately began to reshape the team and by the end of December 1933, there were no Red Sox players left from the 1931 Opening Day roster. Following the Red Sox season, the Boston Redskins began playing their home football games at Fenway Park and Yawkey began a massive reconstruction of the ballpark, which dramatically upgraded Fenway Park for the start of the 1934 season.
Record: 63-86, 7th in American League Manager: Martin J. McManus Attendance: 268,715
In February 1933, Tom Yawkey bought the Red Sox from the financially-strapped Bob Quinn for a reported $1,500,000. Having just turned 30, Yawkey began making plans to build a winning ballclub. However, before the season, those plans nearly came to a halt. On April 2, 1933, the team came close to being wiped out in a deadly nighttime train wreck. No players were seriously injured but the train's engineer and fireman were killed.
Having survived the near-death experience, the 1933 Red Sox began their Fenway Park season on April 8 with their annual exhibition game against the Braves, followed two days later by a 9-2 tune-up victory over Boston College.
On April 20, Yawkey formally took control of the team and named Eddie Collins General Manager. The two began to rebuild the club but even they could not fix the team overnight. Boston finished seventh in the American League with a 63-86 record and only one Red Sox pitcher, Gordon Rhodes, won more than nine games.
However, there was progress for the club on a series of fronts. In May, the Red Sox sent the Yankees $100,000 to buy pitcher George Pipgras (a 24-game winner in 1928) and infielder Billy Werber. In June, the Red Sox won four games in a row against visiting New York and, as the story goes, Yankees owner Jacob Ruppert was so incensed that he called the mortgage that he'd held on Fenway Park since 1920. Yawkey paid the amount in full the following day.
On December 12, the only two remaining members from the 1931 Red Sox squad, Bob Kline and Rabbit Warstler, were sent to the Athletics (along with $125,000) to acquire Lefty Grove, Max Bishop, and Rube Walberg. The Red Sox also bought a Reading, Pennsylvania team in the New York-Penn League, the first step in the building of a modern farm system.
After purchasing the Boston Red Sox in February, new Owner Tom Yawkey wasted little time putting his mark on Fenway Park in 1933. In late July, the team installed a buffet lunch area offering beer and sandwiches to writers in the press room.
After the 1933 baseball season ended, Yawkey undertook even grander plans and started one of the most ambitious renovation campaigns in Fenway Park's history. The 10-foot incline known as Duffy's Cliff was leveled to make room for a more substantial wall to replace the 25-foot high left-field fence that had been above the embankment. Yawkey also began to replace the two wooden bleacher seating areas in right and center field with remodeled steel and concrete sections. Several other areas of the ballpark (including concession areas, employee rooms, the press box, and the entrance to the team's offices on Jersey Street) were remodeled or introduced as part of this massive construction project. By the end of 1933, the facelift of Fenway Park was humming along at furious pace.
In August 1933, Fenway Park hosted four non-Red Sox baseball games. In early August, a pair of American Legion playoff games was played at the park and a Boston Park League doubleheader was played at Fenway Park at the end of the month.

The Boston Redskins played their first of four seasons at Fenway Park in 1933. That year, they won four of their six home games en route to a 5-5-2 record for the season. Several amateur football games were also played at the park during the fall months of 1933.

In their first game at Fenway Park, the Boston red Sox defeated the New York Giants before 15,000 fans. The victory was marked by a Turk Edwards block of Harry Newman's point-after attempt following a Giants third-quarter touchdown. The game was also the Redskins' first under their new name, having played as the Boston Braves at Braves Field during the 1932 season, which was their first in the National Football League.

The FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup reached its climax on Saturday with an enticing final showdown between France and Korea DPR.
As always, the FIFA Technical Study Group (TSG) has been monitoring the action and analysing every game. Former France and China PR coach Elisabeth Loisel has been in charge of the TSG throughout Azerbaijan 2012, and she shared her observations on the competition in an interview with FIFA.com.
FIFA.com: Overall, how has the FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup Azerbaijan 2012 been for you?
Elisabeth Loisel: I've been very impressed. I'm pleasantly surprised by how the teams have developed since New Zealand 2008, which I also attended. I've found the teams to be much better organised tactically than in the past, particularly in defence. The teams are well organised and more able to defend collectively. They are also capable of pressing quite high up the pitch, which is amazing for players of this age.
Is there one team that has particularly surprised you?
I had expected Japan to go a step further this time, as I thought their team was very good at New Zealand 2008. Sadly, though, they didn't go all the way and were knocked out in the quarter-finals. Nonetheless, they are still capable of playing very attractive attacking football, with exceptional speed of execution, mobility, tactical flexibility and intelligence. Technically, they are flawless. I'm rather sorry to have seen them knocked out again, as they are a great example of the work you can accomplish with young female players.
All the teams have shown a desire to work together and play attacking football, winning back the ball and immediately looking to push forward.
How do you think the competition's first-timers have fared?
It's clear that the newcomers still have a lot to learn. As was the case at the last edition of the tournament, they all went out in the first round. They lack a bit of experience at this level, and you can't expect too much from a team in their first appearance. However, there are countries like Gambia and Azerbaijan where women's football didn't even exist until a few years ago, and it's extraordinary for those nations just to be able to field a team in such a major competition. Most important, though, is the legacy that this tournament will leave in the countries, particularly here in Azerbaijan. I hope the federation continues the efforts it has made over the past three years, and that this young team carries on improving.
Is Asian football still the benchmark in the women's game?
If you look at the four teams that reached the semi-finals, two are European and only one is from Asia. But it's true that the Asian sides always either reach the last four or win the competition. In this category, all the titles have been won by Asian teams. It certainly shows how much work those nations do with their young female players on a daily basis. But you can't help but ask yourself why, with the exception of Japan, their junior teams win so many titles, while their senior sides fail to qualify or reach the semi-finals of major competitions.
Is there still a big gap in quality between the U-20 and U-17 categories?
The main differences are the pace of the game, tactical use of the pitch and player strength. The only teams [at Azerbaijan 2012] with the strength aspect are those that reached the semi-finals. But there is still a gap between those teams and the best U-20 sides, who are more able to switch between short passing, the long ball, using the flanks, counter-attacking, and so on. Apart from the likes of France, Germany, Korea DPR and Japan, the [U-17] teams aren't able to play the long ball. They tend to prefer a short passing game, and to build from the back.
Have you enjoyed the spectacle on the pitch?
Yes, hugely. All the teams have shown a desire to work together and play attacking football, winning back the ball and immediately looking to push forward. They have shown that they can be really well organised defensively. And there has also been good individual technical quality. Whenever I watch these teams play, I think to myself: "What great work they must be doing behind the scenes!" Players of this age, with that kind of technical and tactical ability, aren't produced overnight. There's a lot of intelligence in their play, with their one-twos, triangles and movement off the ball, as well the quality of their crossing and shooting. More than one in two shots have been on target. It's good for the future of women's football, and I'm not at all worried about the future of women's competitions.

Depression After Brain Injury: A Guide for Patients and Their Caregivers
- View PDF (PDF) 619 kB

- En Español
- Help with Viewers, Players, and Plug-ins
Table of Contents
Is This Guide Right for Me?
Yes, if:
- You have experienced a mild, moderate, or severe injury to your brain due to a sudden trauma. This guide is for you even if you did not see a doctor at the time of the injury.
- A doctor or health care professional has told you that you have suffered a brain injury.
- This guide is for you even if you have not felt depressed since your brain injury.
Where does the information for this guide come from?
The information in this guide comes from a review of many studies about traumatic brain injury and depression. The review was conducted by an independent research center and was paid for by the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, a research agency of the U.S. Government. You can read the full report at http://www.effectivehealthcare.ahrq.gov/index.cfm/search-for-guides-reviews-and-reports/?pageaction=displayproduct&productID=658.
Understanding Your Condition
What is traumatic brain injury?
Traumatic brain injury (TBI) is the medical term for when your brain is injured by some force, such as:
- A direct hit to your head by an object.
- A fall to the ground or a hard surface.
- A car, motorcycle, or bike crash.
- An explosion or a blast very close to your head.
Doctors can tell whether your injury is mild, moderate, or severe based on what happened at the time of your injury (if you were knocked out, if you had trouble seeing clearly, or lost some memory) and by other tests. Around 1.5 million people who are not in the military experience some form of TBI each year in the United States. It is likely that more people are affected, because many people with mild TBI do not go to the emergency room or report their injury. Most TBI cases (75 percent) are mild.
Problems Caused by TBI
Any injury to your brain—even if it is mild—can cause problems such as headaches, ringing in your ears, mood changes, or trouble remembering or thinking for long periods of time. You may have found that your sleeping habits are different or that you feel tired more often.
Even several months or years after your brain injury, you may notice other difficulties, including depression or anxiety.
Depression and TBI
What is depression?
Depression is more than feeling sad every now and then. It is normal for someone who has had a TBI to feel sad by the problems caused by this injury. But for some people, those feelings can extend beyond normal feelings of sadness. People with depression feel sad, lack energy or feel tired, or have difficulty enjoying routine events almost daily. Other symptoms include difficulty sleeping, loss of appetite, poor attention or concentration, feelings of guilt or worthlessness, or thoughts of suicide.
How common is depression for people with TBI?
Research has found that patients with TBI are more likely to experience depression than those who have not had a brain injury.
For every 10 people who do NOT have a brain injury, approximately one person () will have depression.
For every 10 people who DO have a brain injury, approximately three people () will have depression.
What increases my risk of depression?
The risk of depression after a TBI increases whether the injury is mild, moderate, or severe. Researchers cannot say if age, gender, the part of the brain that was injured, or the type of injury makes depression more likely.
How soon after my injury might I become depressed?
Researchers do not know when depression is most likely to occur after TBI. Some people experience depression right after their injury, while others develop depression a year or more later. It is important to tell your doctor about any symptoms of depression you may be having even if it has been a while since your head injury. Your doctor or health care professional will ask you a series of questions or have you fill out a questionnaire or form to see if you have depression.
How can I tell if I am depressed?
There are ways to tell if you are depressed.
- Feeling down, depressed, or sad most of the day.
- Changes in your sleeping habits, such as sleeping poorly or sleeping more than usual.
- Losing interest in usual activities such as favorite hobbies, time with family members, or activities with friends.
- Increasing your use of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.
- Not eating as much or eating more, whether or not you are hungry.
- Strong feelings of sadness, despair, or hopelessness.
- Thoughts of suicide.
You may not notice some of these symptoms, but people living and working around you may see them. You may want to ask the people close to you if they notice these signs in you.
What should I do if these symptoms start to occur?
Tell your doctor or health care professional as soon as you or others around you notice any symptoms.
Understanding Your Choices
How is depression treated?
Depression is usually treated two ways:
- Personal counseling with a special kind of health care professional. This is called "psychotherapy" (pronounced si-koh-THER-uh-pee).
- In psychotherapy, you and a trained health care professional talk about your symptoms and how to develop ways to deal with them.
- You might meet with your therapist weekly for several months or longer, depending on how you feel.
- Medicines called "antidepressants" (pronounced an-tee-dee-PRESS-uhnts).
- Several types of antidepressants are used to treat depression and anxiety.
- You might need to take these medicines for several months or longer, depending on how you feel.
Many times, people need both psychotherapy and medicines.
Researchers do not know the specific benefits and harms or side effects of psychotherapy and antidepressants for people with TBI. However, both psychotherapy and antidepressants have helped people with depression.
Are there any side effects from antidepressants?
All antidepressants can cause side effects.
Researchers do not know if the side effects are different for people with TBI than for other people who take antidepressants. However, research found that for some people antidepressants can cause:
- Stomach or intestinal pain and diarrhea.
- Weight gain or weight loss.
- Nausea and vomiting.
- Sexual problems.
- Trouble sleeping or sleepiness during the day.
Talk to your health care professional about the possible side effects of antidepressant medicines.
One special concern for people with TBI is how antidepressants may affect other medicines they take for their brain injury. It is important to tell your doctor or health care professional about other medicines you take.
Your health care professional can help you decide
Tell your health care professional:
It is important that you contact your health care professional when you experience:
- Changes in sleeping or eating habits.
- Frequent feelings of sadness, hopelessness, anxiety, or panic.
- Disinterest in your favorite activities.
- Thoughts about suicide.
Ask your health care professional:
Here are some questions you may want to ask your health care professional if you are going to be treated for depression or anxiety following your brain injury:
- How often should we check to see if I am developing depression or an anxiety disorder?
- How long do you think I will need psychotherapy or medications to treat these problems?
