Every 13 seconds an American gun owner uses a
firearm in defense against a criminal.
Criminal Attacks Stopped By Guns
this year:
GrassRoots met early Thursday morning at the statehouse to organize the GrassRoots Gorillas prior to the subcommittee meeting on H. 3405.
SC Campaign for Liberty and SC Libertarians also called for people to support GrassRoots in opposing H. 3405.
Spectators filled the subcommittee room to overflowing. Rep. Viers, chair of the subcommittee, commented a couple of times about how the pro gun
folks had turned out in large numbers.
There were two other bills on the subcommittee agenda ahead of H. 3405. As discussion on each of these bills concluded and people left the room,
more gun rights supporters waiting in the hallway flowed into the subcommittee room to support GrassRoots efforts to kill H. 3405.
Dr. Robert Butler, GrassRoots GunRights V.P and Legislative Director, was the first member of the public to speak on H. 3405. Dr. Butler spoke
from the heart without notes, and the meeting was not recorded, so we can only report the gist of what he said.
Dr. Butler first thanked the subcommittee for the opportunity to speak. Then, he apologized for GrassRoots sending two letters to the subcommittee,
but explained that the two letters were a result of the House failing to properly notify the public about the very existence of H. 3405. The House
failed to list H. 3405 in the legislative index under the heading of "weapons" as it should have done. The first GrassRoots letter asked the
subcommittee to kill H. 3405 since it was too broken to fix. The second GrassRoots letter replaces the first letter and instead asks the subcommittee
to amend H. 3405 - with an amendment that GrassRoots already drafted - so as to provide all concealed weapon permit (CWP) holders with the
same privileges that politicians were asking to get for themselves.
Since Rep. Viers was impressed with the pro gun turnout, Dr. Butler told the subcommittee that if GrassRoots had been given more notice about
H. 3405 there would have been even more pro gun people in attendance.
Dr. Butler informed the subcommittee that a few years earlier the federal Centers for Disease Control (CDC) had reviewed the research done on
the effectiveness of gun control laws. The CDC found no valid evidence that all of the gun control laws combined had saved any lives.
How could that be, he asked rhetorically. Dr. Butler then answered his own question.
In order to believe that gun control laws could save lives, one would have to believe that people could not be trusted to do the right thing, but still
believe that these very same untrustworthy people could be trusted to obey the gun control laws.
In order to believe that gun control laws could save lives, one would have to believe that evil people willing to violate God's laws against murder,
rape, and robbery would not be willing to violate man's law against using a gun to violate God's law.
Dr. Butler stated that fighting crime by passing gun control laws would be like fighting alcoholism by passing laws to prohibit liquor sales to Mormons.
Dr. Butler stated that evil is something within a person, not a gun, and that the good people who possess a CWP should be allowed to carry
wherever they feel a need to do so. Public safety would be improved by deleting the CWP prohibited carry locations from the law for all CWP
holders, not just politicians.
Dr. Butler then asked the subcommittee to either amend H. 3405 with the GrassRoots proposed amendment to extend the special privileges
sought by lawmakers to all CWP holders, or to, in the alternative, kill H. 3405.
Every person who signed up to speak before the subcommittee about H. 3405 was against the bill. Every lawmaker who spoke on H. 3405
(except Rep. Vick, the bill's sponsor) opposed H. 3405.
Rep. Vick showed up late to the subcommittee meeting. So, instead of speaking in favor of his bill prior to opening the debate to the public,
Rep. Vick spoke in favor of his bill after the first few members of the public spoke against the bill.
Rep. Vick stated that his intention was never to give special privileges to politicians. Rep. Vick stated that his only concern was increasing
public safety, especially after what recently happened in AZ. Rep. Vick should have read his own bill because his bill simply added politicians
to the list of CWP holders who could carry anywhere in SC.
It is interesting to note that Rep. Vick never once during the subcommittee meeting stated he would support extending the special privileges
he was seeking for himself to all CWP holders by supporting the GrassRoots proposed amendment to H. 3405. Rep. Vick only sought special
privileges for politicians, never once trying to extend his request to enable all CWP holders to do as he wanted to be able to do.
After Rep. Vick spoke and tried to justify special privileges for politicians due to the recent AZ shootings, GrassRoots Executive Officer
Bill Rentiers added his name to the list of speakers in order to refute such nonsense. Mr. Rentiers pointed out that the six people killed during the
Tucson shooting were not politicians, they were citizens just like you and me. Mr. Rentiers then recounted an incident where his daughter,
who is a CWP holder, was robbed, but was unarmed due to employer policy. Mr. Rentiers stressed that no special privileges should be
given to public officials that every other law-abiding citizen could not have.
All members of the subcommittee agreed they could not support H. 3405 as written and voted unanimously to kill the bill. The subcommittee
said it intends to pass future legislation extending gun rights, but H. 3405 was just too broken to fix.
This victory belongs to YOU! You stopped a politician's attempt to get special privileges for himself and his colleagues while leaving
out everyone else. GrassRoots GunRights monitors the legislation politicians try to sneak through, and we keep you informed. It is
YOU, the members of GrassRoots and our supporters, who mobilized, made the calls, sent the emails, and showed up at the hearings that
deserve the credit for killing H. 3405.
GrassRoots GunRights thanks you for all your hard work in defeating this horrible bill.
GrassRoots is pleased to report that SLED has rescinded the changes. We first told you this would happen in
our July 7 e-mail "Message from the Governor's office". Its now official. SLED has posted the following
announcement on its web site at http://www.sled.sc.gov/cwp.aspx?MenuID=CWP:
The South Carolina Law Enforcement Division (SLED) will not be implementing the Digitized Fingerprinting Concealed Weapon Permit (CWP) program as was previously announced. SLED personnel will continue to seek efficiency measures Division-wide, including the CWP program. SLED appreciates the patience demonstrated by each CWP applicant as SLED Regulatory personnel attempt to address CWP application turnaround times during these challenging economic times.
GrassRoots thanks Governor Sanford and his staff for hearing our concerns and helping rescind the changes. We also thank our members who called the Governor and their elected representatives. The events of the past few days demonstrate how, when we work together, we can bring about good results for gun owners, CWP holders, and GrassRoots members.
GrassRoots leadership also attended the House General Laws Subcommittee on H. 3659.
The Senate Fish, Game and Forestry Subcommittee met to discuss S. 1271 (a bill to allow a person to use a firearm to kill an animal out of season if in self defense or
defense of others). GrassRoots suggested Subsection C of S. 1271 be deleted entirely. The Subcommittee
voted to strike Subsection A(3), Subsection B and Subsection C entirely. Read S. 1271

H. 3994 and follow the instructions to contact lawmakers.
March 3, 2010
UPDATE: H. 4112 was on the House Judiciary General Laws Subcommittee agenda today.
GrassRoots delivered this
letter to each member of the House Judiciary General Laws Subcommittee. GrassRoots spoke against the provision in H. 4112
which would enable politicians in the SC General Assembly who possess a CWP to carry anywhere in the state.
The Subcommittee voted to adjourn debate on H. 4112, but this bill is still in play. If you have not yet contacted the members of the General Laws Subcommittee
to express your opposition to the special privileges for politicians in H. 4112, please do so now.

H. 4112 and learn what immediate action you need to take.
February 24, 2010
UPDATE: The House Judiciary General Laws Subcommittee met, but
failed to amend the bill as needed to protect gun owners. After expressing concerns that certain members of the Chamber of Commerce
wished to speak about H. 3994 but were not present at the time, the Subcomittee voted to adjourn debate on H. 3994 until the next meeting.
GrassRoots GunRights has proposed language to fix the problems with H. 4022. GrassRoots delivered this
to the sponsor of H. 4022 and to each Senator on the Judiciary Subcommittee reviewing H. 4022. Please read the letter
to understand the problems with H. 4022 and the GrassRoots proposed solution.
Click HERE to read the GrassRoots Action Alert about H. 4022.
January 28, 2010
UPDATE: Thanks to GrassRoots GunRights, H. 4022 was tabled for further study. GrassRoots
GunRights will be watching in case H. 4022 begins to move again.

How did Christmas ever happen without high tech?
The tradition of following Santa's journey on Christmas Eve has long been a must-do for millions of kids (and grown-ups). But this year thanks to Google Maps, his exact location will be updated as he makes the global gift-drop. He even comes to life in 3D with the Google Earth Plug-in. See, Rudolph? That glowing red nose came in handy, after all.
And while Santa's elves are busy with the last-minute items, they can turn to their iPhones and keep tabs on the big man's location via an app, of course.
Santa even passes the test of a true tech addict: Twitter: NORADSanta will be tweeting his trip.
So far, we know he's been looking over toys, training reindeer and uploading pictures to Yahoo's Flickr and Google's Picassa.
U.S. & World
Stories that affect your life across the U.S. and around the world.
Kids are still sending snail mail to the jolliest of the elves at his North Pole toy shop but this year they're likely taking the more tech-savvy approach and texting their wish lists. There's even an app that gives kids a way to hear a personalized message from Santa, although it's been said to sound like a pretty creepy Darth Vader-version of the jelly-bellied fellow.
Another contribution to Santa's high-tech arsenal of tech toys: YouTube. Santacams around the globe are tracking St. Nick 's trip and clips will be posted to help track the bearded one.
He's been hopping from rooftop to rooftop around the globe in a sleigh powered by eight reindeer for as long as we can recall but when Santa wants to know who's been naughty or nice this year, he's checking his Facebook page. Twice. Are you Santa's friend?
So, as you hang the stockings by the chimney with care on Christmas Eve this year, be assured that even as visions of sugar plums dance through the heads of anxious kids around the world, they're tuning into his journey with some new-fangled technology. Now we just need to get him to drop a Tesla motor into that sleigh.

Tennis analyst Mary Carillo came down on the side of the umpire, not the player, after Serena Williams U.S. Open tirade, saying the superstar acted like "an ass-clown."
Williams went berserk on chair ump Eva Asderaki during Sunday's finals in Queens in the midst of her loss to Sam Stosur. The umpire had ruled that Williams yelled while Stosur was hitting a backhand, and therefore awarded a point to Stosur.
"You're totally out of control," Williams yelled in a comment caught by microphones. "You're a hater and you're just unattractive inside."
U.S. & World
Williams then added, "I truly despise you. If you ever see me walking down the hall, look the other way because you're out of control, you're out of control."
Williams drew a $2,000 fine for the outburst, but CBS's Carillo said a harsher penalty was in order for bullying a referee.
"The player has so much power on that court," Carillo said in a Yahoo Sports Radio interview with Tim Brando. "If you throw her off the court, the match is over. It's not like in any other team sport where someone is acting like an ass-clown and you can toss them out and the game continues."

Best practices for configuring and managing storage to enhance virtual servers & desktops
A half-day crash course focusing on making storage for virtual environments faster, easier and cheaper
Virtual servers and desktops offer significant economies, flexible scaling, resilience and many other benefits - but what they don't do, is make storage easier.
There are new tools and technologies that you need to know about that can allow for greater performance, less work and at a lower cost - but it can be tough deciphering the vendor-hype from the actual facts.
Attend Building Storage Systems to Support Virtual Environments and our independent expert Howard Marks will put this info into context - separating the fact from fiction - and put all this info into content so you can make well-informed purchasing and strategic decisions.
Admission is FREE but seating is granted on a first-come, first-serve basis to ensure an effective learning experience. Register today by calling Mike Parisi at (617) 431-9718 or by completing our quick online registration form.
In this half-day seminar, independent expert Howard Marks will explore the storage challenges virtual environments present in 2013 and some best practices for storage to support virtual servers and desktops. Some of the topics that will be addressed include:
- Which storage works best for virtual environments—NAS, iSCSI, FC?
- Data protection for virtual servers and virtualized desktops, including replication, snapshotting and other backup techniques; what backup apps designed specifically for virtual servers do that your backup app can't
- Boot storms, anti-virus scans and other events that can drain your storage system's performance and cripple virtualized systems
- Virtualizing storage for easier management and capacity efficiency
- How to leverage hypervisor/storage management integration, including discussions of Microsoft Server 2012/Hyper-V 3 and VMware VAAI (vStorage API for Array Integration)
- Strategic use of solid-state storage to enhance storage responsiveness
- How dedupe and thin provisioning work in a virtual server or virtual desktop environment and what you should look out for
- Storage systems designed specifically for virtual environments—what makes them different, are they really better, do you sacrifice anything...?
For more info into this seminar, make sure to go to the Seminar Agenda section below for detailed session descriptions, along with Howard's bio.
Who should attend?
IT managers, storage managers and system or storage administrators planning a new virtualization infrastructure and those facing performance or management issues with their current VM infrastructure.
Registration is FREE for qualified IT professionals

Recall spots blister Sen. John Morse on ethics, GOP Bernie Herpin on utility "junket"
A new ad in Senate President John Morse's recall election goes after Republican Bernie Herpin for a controversial trip charged to ratepayers when he served on the Colorado Springs City Council.
The ad follows a mail piece Herpin sent earlier this week that featured El Paso County Sheriff Terry Maketa and attacks Morse on several issues, including two ethics complaints filed against the state senator, although both were dismissed.
"John Morse broke our trust," Maketa says.
Constituents in Morse's El Paso County Senate district are trying to recall him over his support for gun control measures in the 2013 session. If he is recalled, Herpin would take his place in the Senate, which the ad notes:
"For most of us a utility bill is just another dent in our pocketbook, but for Bernie Herpin, it's a chance to travel in style.
"On the Council, Herpin went on a $25,000 utility junket paid for by us, the ratepayers. When the controversy came to light, Herpin tried to hide the evidence from the taxpayers.
"If the recall succeeds, he'll be our state senator. Say 'no' to the recall. Say 'no' to Bernie Herpin."

Over the past three days, GeekWire Chief Business Officer Rebecca Lovell and I both have moderated panels about the state of angel financing in Seattle. The discussions have been lively, and fun. [Previously: Angel mind meld: What early-stage investors really want]
But, at the end of the day, what entrepreneurs really want to know is where to go to raise cash.
Well, look no further. In advance of the MIT Venture Lab's annual "Meet the Angels" panel, Rebecca (GeekWire's very own data hound and "mathlete") compiled this super handy table showing details of the seven major angel groups in Seattle.
Each has their own style and charter, so we hope this will serve as useful guide for those entrepreneurs thinking about hitting the angel financing trail.

Paris Gare du Nord train station connects Paris to CDG Airport via RER B train line. In addition Gare du Nord has TGV, Thalys, ICE, Ter, Transilien trains connecting Paris to London, cities in northern France (Lille, Calais, Dunkerque) Brussels, Amsterdam, Cologne, Berlin and many more.
Here's a panoramic photo of the western half of Gare du Nord showing the main train lines connecting Gare du Nord to other cities around Europe.
Above is a photo of the entrance to the Eurostar platform within Gare du Nord station in Paris, located up the stairs/escalators on Level 1 (Niveau 1). The Eurostar platform and trains are separated from other trains due to the need to screen passenger passports for the voyage to London. (The UK is not a Schengen zone country).
Climbing the stairs in the last photo we arrive at the Eurostar check-in level. Visible on the left are e-ticket machines where one can collect Eurostar tickets purchased online at Eurostar.com. The Eurostar ticket office (not visible) is located just left of the ticket machines. If you don't have a smart-chip pin protected credit card, these machines which will most likely not work for you. Instead, enter the ticket office and collect the tickets in-person. Have a print-out of your ticket confirmation email (with the ticket reference number) plus a passport to retrieve your tickets in-person. At the end of this walkway is the Eurostar entrance. Non-EU citizens will need to fill out a declaration card for UK Immigration before you enter. Cards are available near the blue information kiosk visible in the centre of this photo.
The above photo is the scene at Gare du Nord upon arrival from the London to Paris Eurostar train. This is facing south east towards the front entrance of Gare du Nord on rue de Dunkerque. Just to the right of this area, in front of train lane #3 are stairs and escalators down to Baggage/Luggage Storage inside Gare du Nord. Centre middle is an overhead blue sign pointing left towards the Metro and RER trains located two levels down from street level (picture here). There will be two sets of stairs leading one level down just left of this scene. At the bottom of the first set of stairs will be two green Billetterie Ile-de-France ticket vending machines where you can buy Metro, RER and Transilien commuter train tickets.
Continuing further down the hall you'll see plenty of yellow TGV ticket machines where one can collect, change, cancel their Grandes Lignes tickets (TGV, Ter, etc.). Visible is another overhead sign pointing towards Metro and RER trains with an airport symbol signifying the RER B train service from Paris to CDG Airport as well as Orly Airport to the south.
Here's another photo of the same hall, opposite side. In the distance you can see several green Billetterie Ile-de-France green ticket vending machines. These sell both RER and Metro tickets trains (Billet Ile-de-France, Paris Metro Ticket t+) including carnets and can recharge Pass Navigo / Découverte with Carte Orange (although they do not sell new cards). Continuing down this hall leads towards Metro lines 4 & 5 and RER B, D, and E.
The above is a photo of the western half of Gare du Nord station from the Eurostar level overlooking train lanes/platforms 1-13 (voie in French) for Eurostar and Thalys trains arriving from London (Londres), Brussels (Bruxelles) and German cities. Near the center of the photo is a sign reading Reseau Ile-de-France RER with an arrow pointing to the east side of Gare du Nord station. This is the direction of the RER B, RER D, RER E platforms underneath Gare du Nord, at sublevel 2.

Operators at Exelon's Dresden Generating Station took Unit 2 offline for condenser maintenance
MORRIS, Ill. (Aug. 30, 2012) - Operators at Exelon's Dresden Generating Station took Unit 2 offline at 1 p.m. CDT to perform maintenance work on the unit's condenser.
The condenser converts leftover steam used to spin the turbine back into water. The water is reused to make more steam to power the turbine.
Specifically, station technical experts will work on small water tubes located within the condenser unit and will perform other maintenance activities while the unit is offline. Once the work is complete, the unit will be returned to service.
Dresden Unit 3 will continue to provide electricity to customers.
Dresden Generating Station is approximately 60 miles southwest of Chicago. The station's two operating units can produce more than 1,700 megawatts, enough to power nearly 2 million average homes. Dresden Unit 1, which began commercial operation in 1960 and was retired in 1978, has been designated a Nuclear Historic Landmark by the American Nuclear Society.

When I recall back to the early weeks of being pregnant, I am amazed how my belief system and fear had already unconsciously chosen a planned, elective caesarian birth for our baby. After overcoming exhaustion like I have never experienced before, I started to question what I was doing being a so called 'patient' for our chosen obstetrician, so after many hours of research on the internet, a month later I was a changed woman. I realized that my philosophies were very old beliefs and that the medical approach to pregnancy and birth had become so ingrained in our culture and was now bursting full of excitement, wonder and awe at my new decision to birth our baby at home.
Serge, my husband was surprised and apprehensive, however he trusted and respected my decision I had literally read hundreds of birth stories and decided I was going to be an active birth giver and not a passive patient. I wanted our memory of this birth to be of passion and accomplishment and remember how we met our baby for the first time.
The more I studied birthing and the deeper I got, the simpler it became. I realized that birthing has been hospitalized, medicalised, brutalised and was very clinical and unfeeling. Hospitals are for the sick and injured people, yet I was pregnant, not sick or unwell!!
A home birth, it made so much sense, I love our home, it is coloured with the rich, vibrant fabric of our lives. It is where I share my deepest feelings and affection for Serge and is where Jasmine was created. The walls of our house protect us from the outside world, it is where we go to come together as a family & just 'be', feel safe, relax & sleep. So why would I venture outside of our safe & loving home, into a hospital or birth centre to provide an unfamiliar environment with strangers to welcome Jasmine?
I received so much negative birthing advise & suggestions of intervention from many mothers, sharing their sad and horrifying experiences, it was a little distressing.
Of the few we informed of our exciting homebirth plans, we were very taken back and saddened by their negative and fearful comments and remarks, so we then decide not to inform anyone of our plans which would keep negative energy abay. I preferred to reserve my energy for nurturing myself rather than having to justify our choice.
Our midwife Angela offered us her undivided attention at our regular pre-natal appointments in the comfort of our home. We built up a comfortable relationship and we trusted her professional expertise and guidance. My focus was then to create an uninterrupted and undisturbed process of birthing and to ensure the gentlest birth possible with the warmest welcome. I made a vision board and reflected on it daily.
I changed my pace of life to reflect pregnancy as my body was working hard so I slowed right down to honor myself my growing baby.
I was at the end of the pregnancy now and had been experiencing Braxton Hicks surges from 32 weeks, however, when I retired to bed at midnight, an intense surge overcame me and I knew then labour had commenced. My initial thought was how I was going to survive this labour, I was really tired as I had been up since 5am - for 19 hours, but that worried thought was quickly stamped out by excitement!
I relaxed on the couch in-between the surges listening to music, whilst Serge set up the birthing pool. I was so very tired, yet felt so calm and strong as, I felt safe, comfortable, warm and secure, which left no room for any doubt or fear.
For the first half of the labour, I stood and leaned on a chair rocking and swaying my hips with each surge. They were not at all painful, more so powerful with a lot of energy and pressure. With each surge, I went inwards and really focused on my breath, and time just flew past so very quickly. Serge was so attentive, he did everything he could for me, he was so amazing.
I found the intensity of the surges halved when I got into the birthing pool, it felt heavenly sliding into the warm deep water. The birthing experience was exactly how I had visualized it, we were outside on the back verandah in front of the roaring fireplace. I felt so calm, relaxed and peaceful. I remember hearing the birds in the trees and the sounds of vehicles out in the street, I knew I would be silent during labour, I felt no need to chat or communicate but rather went inwards.
By this time, Angela arrived providing her undivided support, love and attention. Labour was progressing beautifully, however, I was exhausted and I slipped in and out of a focused state of mind and drifted into a dreamlike state of consciousness. Tina, our other midwife joined us to also provide her encouragement, wisdom & support.
After 9½ hours of labour, our baby was ready, it was her time. No pushing was required on my part, my body simply did it by itself with each powerful surge, it was truly a time of self realization as I reached into my soul. She birthed herself in the water and I experienced the sheer joy of welcoming her as I caught her with my own hands. I was chocked with emotion and feelings of holding her against my skin, it was so lovely. I was meant to do this, Jasmines birth was the most profound spiritual connection I had ever experienced.
The first moments with Jasmine were sacred and honored, she felt secure and loved which allowed her to relax in the birthing pool whilst we bonded. Whilst I birthed the placenta, Jasmine bonded with Serge, skin on skin in front of the warm fireplace. Afterwards she snuggled onto my boob to commence her breast feeding journey. We all spent the rest of the morning relaxing and recalling the event over lunch. By mid afternoon, Angela decided to leave and tucked us into bed so we could rest and sleep without any distractions. The house was so peaceful and quiet and Serge and I just lay there on a most incredible high with our baby Jasmine sleeping in between us, it was magical and the outside life just went on. I was so exhausted as by now I had been awake for 46 hours, however I could not take my eyes off her, she was so precious. I eventually drifted off to sleep recalling the exhilarating and rewarding experience, looking forward to motherhood.
So why do I feel that Jasmines birth was so successful?
Upon writing this, I feel both happy and sad at the same time. I am a mother to an amazing little girl who brings so much happiness into my life, however I would love to be able to wind back the clock and re-live that amazing experience all over again as all that remains is my memory of the feelings.
Finally, I feel that birth is about fundamentally letting go, the masks we wear everyday must be thrown aside. Jasmine has been my greatest teacher, I have learnt so much about myself through the birthing process. I am left personally richer and stronger for having surrendered to this amazing experience. I encourage women to honour their babies and their body and birth instinctively.
Thank you Jasmine for coming into this world and changing Serge and I forever.

I have just read Jassie's birth story above and am filled with such emotion knowing that I am going to experience such bliss again with our 'bubba colicchia' who is growing so wonderfully in my belly! I am so glad I shared my experience with the world, hopefully it inspires another soul to embrace the upcoming birth of their baby. Warmly Sharon x
Beautiful. It is always so refreshing to read and hear about empowered women. I love home births. its the way it should be. I love your reasons for this choice.

How to Improve Your Memory
Is your memory not what it used to be? Here's what's causing you to be forgetful, along with easy ways to boost your brain power.
Did You Forget...
Quick: Who invented the cotton gin? When was your car inspected last? What did you eat for breakfast this morning? If you've drawn a blank on one or all of these questions, you know how unnerving it is when thoughts and information vanish from your mind. "We rely on memory for everything we do, from coming up with creative ideas to communicating effectively," says Tony Dottino, founder of the annual USA National Memory Championship, a mental matchup where competitors memorize decks of cards, unfamiliar poems, and long sequences of names and numbers.
And while it's natural to fear that your forgetfulness is a sign of something serious, like early-onset dementia or Alzheimer's disease, experts say you shouldn't sweat it. "Memory lapses are normal—not because there's a problem, but because our lives are busy and difficult, and there's simply too much to remember," says Barry Gordon, M.D., Ph.D., founder of the Memory Clinic at the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions in Baltimore, and author of Intelligent Memory: A Prescription for Improving Your Memory (Penguin).
In fact, you probably have more memory power than you think. And if your mind isn't as sharp as you'd like, there are some healthy habits and mental strategies that can help clear the brain fog and recharge your recall beyond what you thought possible.
The Facts on Forgetting
The first step in improving your memory is gaining an understanding of how the mind works. It isn't like a tape recorder that perfectly preserves every name, number, or appointment. Instead, memory is like a sound studio's mixing board, combining elements so they relate and harmonize—and eliminating what's not needed. "Your mind is designed to forget," says Dr. Gordon. "Imagine if you remembered every place you ever parked your car. Your brain would be so cluttered that you'd have trouble conjuring things that were more important." This might explain studies that show that you may lose more than half of what enters your head within an hour and 80% within a month.
New information first goes into "working memory," where it's held for a short time while you sort your thoughts. "It's like a scratch pad for your brain," says Cynthia Green, Ph.D., author of Total Memory Workout: 8 Easy Steps to Maximum Memory Fitness (Bantam). "Some of what you note, you'll save, but you'll throw a lot of it away." Information that's reinforced—possibly because it's important to you or linked to an emotion—moves into long-term memory, where it could stick for the rest of your life.
Of course, shuffling memories to long-term storage is more difficult if you are sleep-deprived, distracted, or continually flooded with new material. Hormonal changes can also wreak some havoc: Studies have linked low estrogen levels (say, during your period or when you're in perimenopause) to forgetfulness and fuzzy thinking. Plus, starting in your 20s, brain activity begins to slow, making you less able to focus on new information or process it quickly. "Slowing isn't the same thing as having less ability," says Dr. Gordon. "Most people maintain accuracy and the ability to learn for a long time."
He adds that some forms of memory actually get better with age. Memory loss is usually limited to an area of the brain that handles material tied to specific dates or times—like your parents' anniversary or the last time you changed your water filter. But "skill memory," or your ability to do familiar tasks, and "intelligent memory," which relates to judgment and social skills, improves over time.
5 Worst Memory Problems
Different types of memory issues call for different techniques, says Scott Hagwood, a four-time winner of the USA National Memory Championship and author of Memory Power (Free Press). These are his tips for downloading the most reluctant information from your mental files.
- Names. The mind remembers visuals best, so put new names to paper. Read what you've written again before bed and it will stick in your mind better. Also, say the name aloud, which gives the brain another route to recall.
- Directions. If you're like most people, you're able to recall only the first two steps in a set of directions. To remember more, try the Roman room method: Picture your bedroom, and link movements through the room to those that will take you to your destination. "Turn left and go two lights," for example, might translate to pivoting left at your sock drawer and then pulling out two socks.
- Where you put your keys. Train yourself to put glasses and keys in the same spot every time. It's the only way to consistently remember because you always have more important things on your mind when you set them down.
- Where you parked. As you walk away, turn around and look at the location of the car to lock a visual image of the environment into your mind.
- Why you're here. You just came upstairs—but why? Think back to where you started and try to recall what was on your mind at that time. Better yet, carry something in your hand that reminds you of your mission, such as a pencil or hanger.
Memory-Improving Tips
Information overload isn't the only thing that jams memory circuits. "We now have a lot of research showing that lifestyle affects brain function, as well as the risk of developing Alzheimer's," says Elizabeth Edgerly, Ph.D., chief program officer at the Alzheimer's Association of Northern California. Taking control of the following factors could significantly improve your memory.
- Do a health check. Hypertension, high cholesterol, smoking, and being overweight are bad for the blood vessels that feed the brain. In a recent study, people who had a procedure that involved widening a major artery in their brain experienced an increase in blood flow that improved memory and thinking. An underactive thyroid gland can also impair memory by producing too little thyroid hormone, which helps regulate brain function. Depression caused by an imbalance of brain chemicals makes it more difficult for nerve cells involved with memory to communicate, says Dr. Gordon. Some gastrointestinal, cardiovascular, and antianxiety medications can dim your memory as well, says Edgerly.
- Stave off stress. Anyone who's blanked out during a speech knows that stress can rob your memory banks. Now researchers at Yale Medical School know why: Stress activates an enzyme called protein kinase C, which interferes with the part of the brain responsible for higher-level thinking. But stress also challenges your ability to form new memories, because your distracted mind has more trouble consolidating new information. One de-stressing strategy: writing in a journal, which tends to be calming and helps you process and remember your experiences.
- Get physical. A study of more than 18,000 women found that those who walked regularly stayed three years younger mentally than nonwalkers. In other research middle-aged adults who did 20 to 30 minutes of daily aerobic activity reduced their risk of Alzheimer's disease by 60%. Tests in animals show that being physical makes nerve cells multiply faster, strengthens their connections, and protects them from damage.
- Stimulate your brain. People who challenge their mind with regular activities like sudoku, crossword puzzles, and word games tend to have better memory retention than those who do less stimulating things like watching TV. A recent review of 22 studies published in Psychological Medicine found that mental activity at all stages of life cuts the risk of dementia nearly in half. The best stimulation, according to a Swedish study, comes from combining a mental challenge with physical activity in a social setting—such as dancing or playing an instrument in a band.
Food for Thought
A poor diet may hurt your memory, says Cynthia Green, Ph.D., of Mount Sinai school of medicine in New York. Be sure to eat some of these:
- Fortified grains: Getting too little folic acid, a B vitamin found in cereals and breads, has been linked with a reduction in nerve cells in the part of the brain where age-related memory loss occurs first.
- Blueberries: Their ability to improve memory and other mental functions in animals may be due to the high antioxidant content, which can protect brain cells from damage.
- Green leafy vegetables: In a Harvard study, women who ate more antioxidant-rich vegetables, like spinach and chicory, did better on mental tests than women who ate less.
- Citrus fruits: Consuming vitamin C (in foods such as oranges and grapefruits) may prevent dementia. Also consider taking in supplemental doses of 500mg.
- Nuts: Vitamin E, an antioxidant found in almonds and walnuts, may also reduce the risk of developing dementia. In one study, supplements of 400 IU were found to be beneficial.
- Fish: People who eat fish with omega-3 fatty acids (such as salmon) at least once a week have a 60% lower risk of Alzheimer's disease.

SOLD. At 9. Carrie Bailee's book and spoken word poem on being sold by her father as a child
Her story is remarkable. Her suffering indescribable. Her resilience and love for life unmatchable
A year ago I wrote about the amazing reunion I had with a woman who I'd been privileged to help find safety and protection in Australia. Carrie Bailee had escaped a paedophile/pornography ring run by her father in Canada. She described her remarkable experience here. At the time I wrote: "Her story is remarkable. Her suffering indescribable. Her resilience and love for life unmatchable".
Now that story has become a book. Carrie's autobiography 'Flying on Broken Wings: A Journey of Unimaginable Betrayal, Resilience and Hope' will be published by Affirm Press next month.
The book is described on Affirm's website:
SOLD. She was nine years old.
Carrie Bailee fled Canada and came to Australia when she was twenty. Once here she was assisted by a number of Australian women, and was ultimately encouraged to apply for refugee status in order to stay in this country. So began her battle to be granted asylum in Australia. Carrie stood before the Refugee Review Tribunal and revealed the dark underbelly of child sexual abuse and organised crime rings in our privileged, first-world neighbourhoods.
This is the story of one young woman's heroic journey to survive, escape and soar above her shocking childhood experiences, and her powerful struggle for freedom and a beautiful life in Australia.
'Moving, inspirational … Unforgettable! A compelling story of hope. I urge you to read this book.' – Sigrid Thornton
The Gatehouse Young Women's Project in St Kilda, Melbourne, will receive 25% of the profits earned from sales of this book.
Advance orders can be made here

ROCHESTER — As I write this column, the news is covering still another shooting, this time on a college campus. We will learn who was involved, who was standing where when it happened, who witnessed it, who was hurt, who the hurt people's friends and families are. Students—reportedly 10,000 students attend the college—will say how terrified they were. And then…the story of this shooting will be dropped from the news cycle, only to be replaced by another shooting story. And Americans will wonder why we can't seem to stop the violence. Or can we?
When the children and teachers were executed in a mass murder at an elementary school, right before Christmas, while we were talking about love and faith and family and peace, everyone thought that this time, politicians would take action. It did seem for awhile that we had reached our breaking point, and that we would finally be ready to pass responsible gun legislation that would give us both the freedom to hunt and protect our families and the freedom to go about our daily lives without fear of being gunned down in still another act of violence. There was encouraging talk about passing legislation as quickly as possible, and President Obama did sign some Executive Orders with the families of the murdered six- and seven-year-olds and the slain staff in the room.
The fight was already ugly, but that's where it got uglier. The head of the National Rifle Association said that President Obama was "attacking firearms and ignoring children." There was a sea of outrage that President Obama had children at the event. Children were at the site of the massacre — I think it is appropriate that children who knew it happened and wrote about it should be in the room when grownups say we are going to try to stop this from happening again to children, or anyone else. The NRA leadership also dragged the President's own children into the fray, as they falsely warned that President Obama was going to take guns away from law-abiding citizens.
Some in Congress were upset at even the mildest suggestions, such as doctors asking if there are guns in the house so they can talk about safety issues involved when there are children in the residence. Doctors ask if somebody smokes around children. They talk about being safe and careful with candles and stoves, but apparently, they should not ask about a huge killer of children — guns.
It's time to stop the fighting and work on the solutions here. It is time to stop bowing to special interests and yes, the money they bring to campaigns, and talk about how we are going to protect both the right to have guns for sport and for protection, and the right to be safe from gun violence.
The easiest step should be to require background checks for gun sales. This means gun sales involving most private sales also. The majority of Americans support this plan. We also need to make sure that critical information is available when there is a background check. Records right now are too often incomplete, and do not identify a buyer's criminal history or a dangerous mental illness.
It is time to end high-capacity magazine sales. It used to be that citizens had a chance to get away from a shooter when he had to stop to reload. But with high-capacity magazines, the killer can just keep firing away a lot longer, murdering many more innocent folks. Hunters do not need to fire 30 rounds. Neither do citizens exercising their right to defend themselves. I support banning magazines holding more than ten rounds. This will help law enforcement and the public to disarm a mass shooter, and it will give people a better chance to escape a madman.
I support President Obama's call to close loopholes in gun trafficking laws, and to beef up law enforcement in communities. Let's also step up mental health services, and work together to encourage a reduction of violence in video games and television and movies. All of these ideas should be the easiest to enact. There is another step, an assault weapon ban, that will require more political debate, but these ideas listed here are common-sense ideas that should have no political test of courage attached to them. Can't we at least get this done now? Let's get it done now. It already has been a long and deadly wait.

A relatively quiet offseason for the NFL's legal docket had a blip on the radar screen Thursday.
According to D. Orlando Ledbetter of the Atlanta Journal-Constitution, Falcons safety William Moore has been arrested for simple battery.
"We are aware of the situation involving William Moore and are in the process of gathering more information," a Falcons spokesperson told Ledbetter. "Because this is now a legal matter, the club will have no further comment at this time."
Moore signed a five-year, $30 million deal last month to remain in Atlanta. He'll now be spending some of that money on a person who has "Esq." in his or her title.

That is exactly what we plan on doing. But instead of doing a reboot of the old IG2 game, we want to develop the whole genre further. Each "x" has its own merits and strenghts, and thats why we want to re-examine these "X"'s and innovate them.
Lets see in what way you will innovate. Think this could be interesting. Any idea when we can expect a few screens or info update? I know its a little early yet. But I am impatient to see a few things .

Story highlights
- The next proceeding in the case is scheduled for January 31
- The method entails police stopping and searching those they consider suspicious
- The tactic has been used to deter crime, the NYPD has said
A federal judge in Manhattan on Tuesday ordered the New York Police Department to halt a controversial "stop and frisk" tactic outside a privately owned Bronx apartment building without first having reasonable suspicion, saying the method had crossed the bounds of what could be considered constitutional.
"In sum, while it may be difficult to say where, precisely, to draw the line between constitutional and unconstitutional police encounters, such a line exists, and the NYPD has systematically crossed it when making trespass stops outside TAP buildings in the Bronx," Judge Shira Scheindlin said.
She made the statement as part of an interim injunction in a lawsuit brought against the city. The next proceeding in the case is scheduled for January 31.
The much-criticized method, in which police stop and search those they consider suspicious, has been used to deter crime, the police department has said.
But it has also brought on a slew of lawsuits by residents complaining of unlawful stops.
Last year, amid mounting public pressure from advocacy groups, Police Commissioner Ray Kelly, in a letter to City Council Speaker Christine Quinn, outlined new police policies in an effort to "increase public confidence."
Under the policies, officers report "stop and frisk" encounters at a local level, and are provided training curriculum and videos, Kelly said. There also are programs reaching out to the community, he said.
Kelly said at the time that the department prohibits racial profiling and aims to ensure a "greater level of scrutiny" by having captains of precincts "personally conducting an audit of the Stop, Question and Frisk report worksheets that have been prepared within his or her command."

How to make an appointment
If you are a full time undergraduate or a graduate student interested in seeing a therapist, you will first need to come into CAPS (Augustine Hall, ground floor), during normal business hours, to fill out an information questionnaire. This questionnaire will help CAPS get to know you and how to best help you. Please allow about 10-15 minutes for paperwork or plan to visit our offices during the following hours: Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday or Friday from 9:00-11:30 a.m. or 1:00-4:30 p.m., or on Thursdays, from 10:00-11:30 or 1:00-4:30 p.m.. Once we input your information into our system, we will provide you with available appointment times. Appointments are based on our therapy staff's availability and your class schedule.
If you are a returning client and it's been a while since we have seen you, you may need to fill out the questionnaire again or update your school schedule. Each new academic year requires you to fill out a new questionnaire, so please plan your time accordingly.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call us at (925) 631-4364.
Who qualifies for CAPS?
CAPS is the primary provider of psychological services for full-time undergraduates and graduate students at Saint Mary's College. Full-time undergraduates and graduate students can receive individual, group, or couples counseling by a psychologist or therapist. Part-time students are seen on a limited basis for evaluation and referral to a community practitioner. Faculty and staff are welcome to use our consultation and referral services.
How to make a referral
If you are concerned about a student, we suggest that you encourage him/her to come into CAPS and make an appointment with a therapist to discuss the situation. Here are some helpful ways to refer a student:
- Suggest that the student come into CAPS, Monday-Friday 9:00-4:30 p.m. (CAPS is closed daily from noon - 1:00 p.m.).
- Call the receptionist at CAPS while you are with the student in order to facilitate contact. You may leave the student's name and indicate when they might come into CAPS.
- Walk the student over to CAPS. At that time, an appointment can be made, or if a counselor is available, the student can be seen immediately.
Please remember that the communication between a counselor and client is confidential. We cannot and do not discuss the details of a student's situation or even the fact that counseling is being received without the student's written consent.
Faculty and staff are encouraged to phone ahead and alert the CAPS Staff in the event of a student emergency.

Despite the massive devastation of China's recent earthquake, CDC Games, headquartered in China, said today that its revenues for its online games have rebounded almost immediately. Judging by the images on the news, it's easy to doubt that any Chinese are in the mood to play - but CDC says that's not so, despite the fact that its game service was suspended for three days due to the tragedy.
"In fact, on May 24, 2008 daily revenues for CDC Games were 1.3 million RMB, or approximately (U.S.) $187,000. In addition, the company has seen strong revenue growth from Shaiya, a massively multiplayer online role playing fantasy game (MMORPG) launched by CDC Games in December 2006."
China's online RPG culture dwarfs online gaming anywhere else in the world, and it's interesting to see that even (or especially) in the wake of a tragedy, gamers are making room for their favourite pastime. The image shown here, from CDC's Shaiya Online, is certainly much more comfortable to look at than this gallery of Seattle Times images from the centre of the devastation.
