...And Justice for All is the fourth studio album by American heavy metal band Metallica, released on August 25, 1988, by Elektra Records. It was the band's first studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted after the death of Cliff Burton in 1986. ...And Justice for All is musically progressive, with long and complex songs, fast tempos, and few verse-chorus structures. The album is noted for its sterile production, which producer Flemming Rasmussen attributed to his absence during the mixing process. The lyrics feature themes of political and legal injustice seen through the prisms of censorship, war, and nuclear brinkmanship.
The album's front cover, designed by Stephen Gorman on a scheme by James Hetfield and Lars Ulrich, features a representation of Lady Justice. The phrase "...And Justice for All" appears spray-painted in the lower right corner. The album title is derived from the American Pledge of Allegiance. Originally released on one vinyl disc, the album was quickly re-released as a double album without additional tracks. Three songs from the album were released as singles: "Harvester of Sorrow", "Eye of the Beholder", and "One", while the title track was released as a promotional single.
...And Justice for All was acclaimed by music critics. It was included in The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics' poll of the year's best albums, and the single "One" earned Metallica its first Grammy Award for Best Metal Performance in 1990. The group's best-selling album at the time, it was the first underground metal album to achieve chart success in the United States. The album was certified 8× platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 2003 for shipping eight million copies in the US, making it Metallica's second-best-selling album.
...And Justice for All was Metallica's first full-length studio album to feature bassist Jason Newsted after the death of Cliff Burton in 1986. Newsted had previously played on Metallica's The $5.98 E.P.: Garage Days Re-Revisited, an extended play released in 1987.[4] The band intended to record the album earlier, but was sidetracked by the large number of festival dates scheduled for the summer of 1987, including the European leg of the Monsters of Rock festival. Another reason was frontman James Hetfield's arm injury in a skateboarding accident.[5] The band's previous studio album, Master of Puppets, marked the end of Metallica's contract with the Music for Nations label. Manager Peter Mensch wanted the band to sign with British record distributor Phonogram Records, and Phonogram chairman Martin Hooker was keen to obtain the band's contract. To persuade Metallica to choose his label Hooker offered them a bigger deal, "worth well over £1 million, which at that time was the biggest deal we'd ever offered anyone". His explanation was that the final figure for combined British and European sales of all three Metallica albums was more than 1.5 million copies.[5] The album title was revealed in April 1988: ...And Justice for All, after the final words of the Pledge of Allegiance.[6] The artwork was created by Stephen Gorman, based on a concept developed by Hetfield and drummer Lars Ulrich. It depicts a cracked statue of a blindfolded Lady Justice, bound by ropes with her breasts exposed and her scales overflowing with dollar bills. The title appears graffiti-style in the lower right corner.[7]
Production and recording
...And Justice for All was recorded from January to May 1988 at One on One Recording Studios in Los Angeles. Metallica produced the album with Flemming Rasmussen.[7] Rasmussen was initially unavailable for the planned start on January 1, 1988, and the band brought in Mike Clink, who had caught their attention for producing Guns N' Roses' debut Appetite for Destruction (1987). Things did not work out as planned, and three weeks later Rasmussen became available after Ulrich gave him a call. Rasmussen listened to Clink's rough mixes for the album on his February 14 flight to Los Angeles, and upon his arrival Clink was fired. Hetfield explained that recording with Clink did not work out so well, and Rasmussen came over as a last-minute replacement.[8] However, Clink is credited with engineering the drums on two of the album's tracks: "The Shortest Straw" and "Harvester of Sorrow". While waiting for Rasmussen to arrive, the band recorded two cover songs—"Breadfan" and "The Prince"—to "fine‑tune the sound while they got into the studio vibe".[8] Both were released as B-sides of the "Harvester of Sorrow" CD single, as separate B-sides for "Eye of the Beholder" and "One" respectively, and were included on the covers album Garage Inc. (1998).[9]
Rasmussen's first task was to adjust and arrange the guitar sound with which the band was dissatisfied. A guide track for the tempos and a click track for Ulrich's drumming were used. The band played in a live room, recording the instruments separately. Each song used three reels: one for drums, a second for bass and guitars and a third for anything else. Hetfield wrote lyrics during the recording sessions; these were occasionally unfinished as recording began, and Rasmussen said that Hetfield "wasn't really interested in singing" but instead "wanted that hard vibe".[8] Metallica's recording process was new to Jason Newsted, who questioned his impact on the overall sound and the lack of discussion with the rest of the team. Newsted had a different experience with his previous band, Flotsam and Jetsam, describing their style as "basically everybody playing the same thing like a sonic wall".[10] He recorded his parts separately from the rest of the band, with only the assistant engineer present. The bassist noted that his parts were at the same audio frequency as Hetfield's guitar parts, and this created a "[battle] for the same frequency".[10] Steve Thompson, who mixed the album, claims that Ulrich was squarely to blame for the inaudible bass and unusual drums. Thompson wanted to be relieved of his mixing duties when Ulrich presented his ideas on the production, but Thompson was not allowed to leave and received the majority of the criticism for the poor sound quality of the record.[11]
We took the Ride the Lightning and Master of Puppets concept as far as we could take it. There was no place else to go with the progressive, nutty, sideways side of Metallica, and I'm so proud of the fact that, in some way, that album is kind of the epitome of that progressive side of us up through the '80s.
This is completely sublimated rock, on a quest for a purity of form, light years beyond raunch or blues rock. Metallica turn heavy metal's melodrama into algebra. This isn't thrash, but thresh: mechanized mayhem. There's no blur, no mess, not even at peak velocity, but a rigorous grid of incisions and contusions.
...And Justice for All is a musically progressive album featuring long and complex songs,[14] fast tempos and few verse-chorus structures.[15] Metallica decided to broaden its sonic range, writing songs with multiple sections, heavy guitar arpeggios and unusual time signatures.[16] Hetfield later explained: "Songwriting-wise, [the album] was just us really showing off and trying to show what we could do. 'We've jammed six riffs into one song? Let's make it eight. Let's go crazy with it.'"[12] Music critic Simon Reynolds noted the riff changes and experimentation with timing on the album's epically constructed songs: "The tempo shifts, gear changes, lapses, decelerations and abrupt halts".[13] BBC Music's Eamonn Stack wrote that ...And Justice for All sounds different from the band's previous albums, with longer songs, sparser arrangements, and harsher vocals by Hetfield.[17] According to journalist Martin Popoff, the album was less melodic than its predecessors because of its frequent tempo changes, unusual song structures and layered guitars. He argued that the album is more of a progressive metal record because of its intricately performed music and bleak sound.[18] Music writer Joel McIver called the album's music aggressive enough for Metallica to maintain its place with bands "at the mellower end of extreme metal".[19] According to writer Christopher Knowles, Metallica took "the thrash concept to its logical conclusion" on the album.[20]
The album was noted for its "dry, sterile" production.[21] Rasmussen said that was not his intention, as he tried for an ambient sound similar to the previous two albums. He was not present during the album's mixing, for which Steve Thompson and Michael Barbiero had been hired beforehand. Rasmussen felt that, in his absence from the mixing process, Thompson and Barbiero ended up using only the close microphones on the mix and none of the room microphones, thus causing the "clicking", thin drum sound.[8] Popoff noted that because of the strange production, the bass guitar was nearly inaudible, while the guitars sounded "strangled mechanistic".[22] He saw the "synthetic" percussion as another reason for the album's compressed sound.[23] The sound has nearly-inaudible bass guitar, which Rasmussen claims was ordered by Hetfield and Ulrich after hearing the initial mixes, resulting in his belief that "Jason Newsted, [engineer] Toby Wright and I are probably the only people who know what the bass parts actually sounded like on that album".[8] In their defence, Hetfield and Ulrich said that most of Newsted's bass lines closely followed the rhythm guitar lines to the point of being indiscernible from each other.[24] A lack of direction is also partly to blame; since the album was largely produced by the band, there was no one present in the studio to guide the band's new bassist and tell him what was expected of him, something a producer would typically do.[25] Newsted was not satisfied with the final mixes: "The Justice album wasn't something that really felt good for me, because you really can't hear the bass."[8]
The title track is based on an aggressive riff and a drum pattern by Ulrich.[19]
"One" was inspired by the novel Johnny Got His Gun and the movie of the same name. It begins with overdubbed guitars, which eventually convert to powerful riffing.[26]

The lyrical content of ...And Justice for All is conceptually unified around notions of political and legal injustice as seen through the prism of war, censored speech, and nuclear brinkmanship.[18] The majority of the songs raise issues that differ from the violent retaliation of the previous releases.[27] Tom King wrote that for the first time the lyrics dealt with political and environmental issues. He named contemporaries Nuclear Assault as the only other band who applied ecological lyrics to thrash metal songs rather than singing about Satan and Egyptian plagues.[28] McIver noted that Hetfield, the band's main lyricist, wrote about topics that he had not addressed before, such as his revolt against The Establishment.[19] Ulrich described the songwriting process as their "CNN years", with him and Hetfield watching the channel in search for song subjects—"I'd read about the blacklisting thing, we'd get a title, 'The Shortest Straw,' and a song would come out of that."[29]
Concerns about the environmental plight of the planet ("Blackened"), corruption ("...And Justice for All"), and blacklisting and discrimination ("The Shortest Straw") are emphasized with traditional existential themes.[27] Issues such as freedom of speech and civil liberties are presented from a grim and pessimistic point of view.[30] "One" was unofficially entitled "antiwar anthem" because of the lyrics which portray the suffering of a wounded soldier.[31] "Dyers Eve" is a lyrical rant from Hetfield to his parents.[19] Burton received co-writing credit on "To Live Is to Die" as the bass line was a medley of unused recordings Burton had performed prior to his death. Because the original recordings are not used on the track, the composition is credited as written by Burton and played by Newsted. The spoken word at the end of the song ("When a man lies, he murders some part of the world. These are the pale deaths which men miscall their lives.") was written by German poet Paul Gerhardt, but was erroneously attributed to Burton in the liner notes. The second half of the speech ("All this I cannot bear to witness any longer. Cannot the kingdom of salvation take me home?") was written by Burton.[25]

Released on August 25, 1988, by Elektra Records,[40] ...And Justice for All was acclaimed by music critics.[41] In a contemporary review for Rolling Stone, Michael Azerrad said that Metallica's compositions are impressive and called the album's music "a marvel of precisely channeled aggression".[15] Spin magazine's Sharon Liveten called it a "gem of a double record" and found the music both edgy and technically proficient.[42] Simon Reynolds, writing in Melody Maker, said that "other bands would give their eye teeth" for the songs' riffs and found the album's densely complicated style of metal to be distinct from the monotonous sound of contemporary rock music: "Everything depends on utter punctuality and supreme surgical finesse. It's probably the most incisive music I've ever heard, in the literal sense of the word."[13] Borivoj Krgin of Metal Forces said that it was the most ideal album he has heard because of typically exceptional production and musicianship that is more impressive than on Master of Puppets.[35] In a less enthusiastic review for The Village Voice, Robert Christgau felt that the band's compositions lack song form and that the album "goes on longer" than Master of Puppets.[33] In 1988, ...And Justice for All was nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock/Metal Performance, but with much controversy, it lost to Jethro Tull's Crest of a Knave. In 2007, Entertainment Weekly, named the win one of the 10 biggest upsets in Grammy history.[43]
In a retrospective review, Greg Kot of the Chicago Tribune said that ...And Justice for All was both the band's "most ambitious" and ultimately "flattest-sounding" album.[32] AllMusic's Steve Huey noted that Metallica followed the blueprint of the previous two albums, with more sophisticated songs and "apocalyptic" lyrics that envisioned a society in decay.[21] Music journalist Mick Wall was critical of the progressive elements on the album and felt that, apart from "One" and "Dyers Eve", most of the album sounded clumsy.[5] Colin Larkin, writing in the Encyclopedia of Popular Music (2006), wrote that, apart from the praiseworthy "One", the album diminished the band's creativity by concentrating the songs with too many riffs.[34] Ulrich said in retrospect that the album has improved with time and it is well-revered among their contemporaries.[12]
In The Village Voice's annual Pazz & Jop critics poll, ...And Justice for All was voted the 39th best album of 1988, having received 117 votes, including 12 first-place votes.[44] The album was ranked at number nine on IGN's Top 25 Metal Albums.[45] In a 2006 reader poll by Guitar World, ...And Justice for All was placed 12th among the 100 Greatest Guitar Albums.[46] All of the album's tracks were featured on "The 100 Greatest Metallica Songs of All Time" made by the same magazine.[47] Kerrang! listed the album at number 42 among the "100 Greatest Heavy Metal Albums of All Time".[48] Martin Popoff ranks the effort at number 19 in his book The Top 500 Heavy Metal Albums of All Time, the fourth highest ranked Metallica album on the list.[22] The album is featured in Robert Dimery's 1001 Albums You Must Hear Before You Die.[49]
After years of refusing to release music videos, Metallica released its first for "One".[50] The video was controversial among fans, who had valued the band's apparent opposition to MTV and other forms of mainstream music. Slant Magazine ranked it number 48 on their list of the "100 Greatest Music Videos", saying that Metallica "evoke a revolution of the soul far more devastating than that presented in the original text".[51] The guitar solo was ranked number seven in Guitar World's compilation of the 100 Greatest Guitar Solos of all time.[52] Additionally, heavy metal website Noisecreep classed the song ninth among the "10 Best '80s Metal Songs".[53]
Commercial performance
Although Metallica's music was considered unappealing for mainstream radio, ...And Justice for All became the first underground metal album to achieve chart success in the US.[54] It became Metallica's best-selling album upon release,[55] peaking at number six on the Billboard 200, where it charted for 83 weeks.[56] Initially released on one vinyl disc, the album was quickly re-released as a double album without additional tracks. Since 1991, when Nielsen SoundScan began tracking sales, ...And Justice for All has sold 5,330,000 copies in the United States.[57] It was certified platinum nine weeks after it was released in stores, and sold 1.7 million copies in the US by the end of 1988.[12][30] Since its release, the album has scanned more than 8 million copies in the US and, according to MTV's Chris Harris, "helped cement [Metallica's] status as a rock and roll force to be reckoned with".[12] Classic Rock explained that with this album, Metallica received substantial media exposure,[26] becoming a multi-platinum act by 1990.[58] The group broke through on radio in 1988 with "One", which was released as the third single from the record.[59] According to Billboard, ...And Justice for All found the band evolving into arena headliners, as "One", accompanied by the group's first music video, garnered significant airplay.[58]
...And Justice for All achieved similar chart success outside the United States. It peaked within the top 5 on the charts in Germany, Sweden, and the United Kingdom, and remained on the UK chart for six weeks.[60][61] The album managed to peak in the top 10 on the Finnish, Norwegian, and Swiss album charts.[60] It was less successful in Spain, Mexico and France, where it peaked at number 92 on the former chart, number 130 on the latter, and number 64 in Spain.[60] ...And Justice for All received a three times platinum certification from Music Canada for shipping 300,000 copies, a platinum certification from IFPI Finland for having a shipment of little over 50,000 copies, and was certified gold by the Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI) for shipments of 250,000 copies.[62][63][64] It was awarded gold by the British Phonographic Industry in 2013 for shipping 100,000 copies in the UK.[65] ...And Justice for All was commercially succeeded by the band's following album Metallica (1991).[66]
Live performances
Guitarist Kirk Hammett noted that the length of the songs was problematic for fans and for the band: "Touring behind it, we realized that the general consensus was that songs were too fucking long. One day after we played 'Justice' and got off the stage one of us said, 'we're never fucking playing that song again.'"[67] Nevertheless, "One" quickly became a permanent fixture in the band's setlist. When performed live, the opening war sound is lengthened from seventeen seconds to approximately two minutes. At the song's conclusion, the stage turns pitch-black and fire erupts from various points. The live performance is characterized as a "musical and visual highlight" by Rolling Stone journalist Denise Sheppard.[68] Other songs from ...And Justice for All that have frequently been performed are "Blackened" and "Harvester of Sorrow", which were often featured during the album's promotional Damaged Justice Tour.
Metallica played the title track in the opening show of the Sick of the Studio '07 tour, for the first time since October 1989, and made it a set-fixture for the remainder of that tour. A statue of Lady Justice is commonly placed on the scene, to be torn down as the song approaches its conclusion.[69] "Eye of the Beholder" has not been played live since 1989; one such performance appears on Metallica's live extended play, Six Feet Down Under.[70] During the World Magnetic Tour in 2009, "The Shortest Straw" made its way back into the setlist after a 12-year absence, and has been sporadically performed since.[71] "The Frayed Ends of Sanity" debuted live on the Metallica By Request tour in 2014,[72] although the band had previously played segments during solos, impromptu jams, or in a "Justice" medley. "To Live Is to Die" premiered at the band's 30th-anniversary concert at The Fillmore in San Francisco.[73] "Dyers Eve" debuted live sixteen years after it was recorded, during the Madly in Anger with the World Tour at The Forum in Inglewood, California.[74]

Book cheap flights and fly away
Fly nationwide.co.za will soon relaunch and help you to save money when you book a flight with us
On the 7th November 2007, Nationwide Airlines experienced an engine separation from a Boeing 737-200 on departure from Cape Town.
Subsequent to this a protracted grounding of our fleet was mandated by the South African Civil Aviation Authority.
In the months of December and January we resumed operations and attained a gradual recovery of the business however in the months of March and April we faced a 30% increase in fuel costs coupled with a decrease in passenger load factors.
Throughout this period we continued to work towards securing investment by a black empowerment consortium which unfortunately has not come to fruition.
Our cash-flow has become critical and as a result have decided to voluntarily cease all flight operations until further notice.
The company was placed under Provisional Winding-Up Order on the 29th April 2008 and in the hands of the Master of the High Court, Johannesburg. A provisional liquidator, Tshwane Trust Company has since been appointed, who will take charge of Nationwide Airlines. Contact details are :
Tshwane Trust Company
Tel : +27 (0)861-874-926
Enquiries should be marked for the attention of Michelle du Plessis or Alta van Wyk.
Details should include a name, address, contact number(s) and nature of the claim (i.e. airline ticket or for services rendered).
International passengers who have completed at least one leg of an international return journey should be advised that a claim form relating to a "repatriation policy" can be downloaded from our website.
We apologize to our loyal customers for any and all inconveniences experienced.
Access our worldwide database of airfares and flight availability with our Flight Reservation quick launch service : Welcome to the new Nationwide Airlines website, we hope that you find it user friendly and filled with information which will help to make your planning and travel experience a more pleasant one.
You can click on "Make a Booking" to get fares and book your flights to any of the Nationwide Airlines routes and destinations being Johannesburg, Cape Town, Durban, Port Elizabeth, George. We have our regional flight to Livingstone in Zambia and of course our London Gatwick service.
We have accommodation, car hire and other services available for you.
Please have a look at the virtual tours of our aircrafts we have put on the website for you and browse at the additional pages. Thank you for choosing Nationwide Airlines.

Elephant Room, Fear Factor, Harvest Bible Church, James MacDonald, peanut butter pastor, Todd Friel, Wretched Radio, youth ministry
Pyromaniacs blog featured an open letter written by a former teacher at a Christian school in the Chicago area to pastor James MacDonald regarding the fact that the youth he saw from Harvest Bible Church didn't seem to have heard the Gospel but loved the ice cream socials and silly games. It brought in a lot of comments with quite a bit of disagreement. Phil Johnson weighed in on it today as well.
While the Elephant Room 2 is definitely the motivation for posting the open letter, the letter is still worth looking at for those involved in youth ministry, for those who pastor a church, and for those who have children involved in a youth ministry.
I am reminded of the youth pastor who put peanut butter in his armpits for the students to lick out, the "Chee-toes" video, or of the story of the youth pastor who dressed boys in diapers and had them sit on the girl's laps so they could feed them baby food and have them drink from a bottle, or maybe the strip Pictionary game to teach kids that they need to have boundaries. Todd Friel of Wretched Radio had a good take on it, which I'll include below. Despite being a YouTube video it is only audio. (If anyone wants an article that discusses this more, and it does get worse, here is the link.)
Why has youth ministry turned into this? Wouldn't the Gospel be better proclaimed to the youth by spending time proclaiming it? What happened to preaching the Gospel to the kids rather than entertaining them?

WWCC - Loyaulte Mi Lie
The modern conservative is engaged in one of mans oldest exercises in moral philosophy; that is, the search for a superior moral justification for selfishness." - JK Galbraith
"Do you know why I have credibility? Because I don't exude morality." - Bob Hawke
#408. Sixty three not out forever.
When you consider that the Super Eight finalists were partly pre-determined - they were picked to stay in the same place in Sri Lanka to allow for spectators to plan their trips and not have the uncertainty of moving around - then yes absolutely it's a cash cow.
All four teams in Group 1 received a plum draw in facing other sides who weren't dominant in the pool stages. And two, including my side, blew it.
I'd be pissed if I was an Indian supporter. At least I know my side didn't deserve to be there and didn't play anything like they did.
And smalishah's avatar is the most classy one by far Jan certainly echoes the sentiments of CW
Yeah we don't crap in the first world; most of us would actually have no idea what that was emanating from Ajmal's backside. Why isn't it roses and rainbows like what happens here? PEWS's retort to Ganeshran on Daemon's picture depicting Ajmal's excreta
Wow, braindead cricket from Morne Morkel at the end there. Just get bat on it and run and you're almost certain to win with a **** bowler like Balaji bowling. Instead he swings like a madman and snatches defeat from the jaws of victory just to compound the feelings of disappointment.
All in all, another miserable effort from the Proteas in a major world tournament. Should have beaten Pakistan but AB's novice captaincy skills and that ****ing rubbish excuse for an all-rounder named Albie Morkel conspired to lose us the game. Should also have beaten India but repeatedly kept losing wickets when in the ascendancy. Played absolutely ridiculous cricket most of the time when really we had probably the most balanced side in the comp and should have reached the semis at a minimum.
Don't get me wrong, I'm not at all suggesting that we deserved to go through. We got exactly what we deserved. I'm just stating that in both the India and Pakistan games, we were in incredibly strong positions to win and yet lost because of an inability to deal with pressure and a lack of clear thinking.
The India game had nothing to do with going through to the semis though. I mean even if SA won it would have been fairly soulless considering you know the team out there has just lost interest once they couldn't qualify.
WI seem to be the most undeserving team in there. No issues with the other three going through. Be rooting for either Aus or Pak, want SL to lose in the finals.
btw I could understand the Indo-Pak rivalry but what's with the animosity between Lankan and Indian fans?

Mainstreaming gender for better girls' education: Policy and institutional issues (2006)
One of a series of papers aimed at promoting better education in South Asia.
Author/Publisher: UNICEF ROSA, UNGEI
Language: English
Download: PDF
This paper raises several key points in moving the gender agenda forward in education. One is to evaluate and derive policy lessons from the rich experience of innovations in gender and education that exists in South Asia. These policy lessons need then to be mainstreamed, so that they permeate all aspects of educational policy and implementation.

Even though we lived in a quiet neighborhood in Seattle, it never seemed to get really dark. Our arborvitae hedge rose over 15 feet in the back garden, but we were only a block from the bus route. A city ball field was only a few short blocks (an easy walk on a good day) which flooded the area in a blue-white light of mercury vapor bulbs. The infamous Seattle cloud cover held, reflected and re-reflected the city's lights and gave everything a perpetual glow, even on the clearest, moonless nights.
Not so in my new hometown.
Here, there aren't many sources of light pollution. We're at the end of a very quiet (like 5 other houses total, and 3 of them are holiday homes not let for the winter) laneway, the countryside has far, FAR more sheep than people and they turn off the streetlights late at night!
Back in Seattle, when I'd get up in the night to pee, the ambient light from a neighborhood miles away may have been refracted in through my windows and I could walk (or wall-walk) my way to relief even when canes or crutches were required. Here in West Kerry, I can't even see the six feet from my bedside to the en-suite door in our room!
I've never really feared the dark. As a navigator on ships, standing the 4:00-8:00 watches, I required the dark in order to preserve my night-vision in order make out stars, the horizon and objects which might be floating in the sea. Now, in order to preserve my uprightedness when spastic bladder symptoms jostle me awake and only a pinprick of white flecks the view out our bathroom window (and that's from a farmhouse nearly a mile away), we are in search of a nightlight.
It's not that big of a deal, save for the fact that it's yet another little thing in my life which requires modification for our stupid disease.
I'm sure this will pass as we move closer to the summer solstice and my town on the same latitude as the capital of Siberia sees daylight from about 3:00am. For now, however, we'll head down to the local hardware/haberdashery/bike-hire/pub to see if they might have such a thing.
In the meantime, how has MS changed the way you get around in the dark?
Wishing you and your family the best of health.

People can rewire their brains for higher levels of happiness—and in the process become more successful in business and relationships, Shawn Achor told America's Credit Union Conference attendees Tuesday morning.
Achor, author of "The Happiness Advantage" and former Harvard professor, conducts research on the link between happiness and success. He found three main predictors of happiness: an optimistic mindset, social support, and the ability to see stress as a challenge instead of a threat.
"Happiness is the precursor to success—not the result of it," Achor said. "People will say things like, 'I'll be happy when I lose 20 pounds.' But that doesn't work.
"Our formula is broken: If I work harder now, I'll be more successful, and then I'll be happy," he continued. "But that's placing happiness at the opposite side of success."
In the workplace, happiness leads to better business outcomes. Achor's research has shown that optimists at work had:
Achieving and maintaining long-term happiness requires training your brain to focus on positive patterns, Achor said. He cited five steps people can take to become happier:
1. Three gratitudes. Each day, write down three new things that happened during the previous 24 hours for which you're grateful.
2. The Doubler. For 21 consecutive days, write down one meaningful thing that happened to you during the previous 24 hours. "This changes us from being task-based to meaning-based," Achor said.
3. Fun 15. Participate in 15 minutes of active and mindful activity each day, such as walking or gardening. Doing this every day for the long-term has the same effect on the brain as an anti-depressant.
4. Meditation. For two minutes a day, focus only watching your breath go in and out.
5. Conduct acts of kindness. Send an email to a friend or relative each day to recognize, praise, or thank them. This helps build up social networks.
"The lack of a social network has the same effect on your health as smoking and heart disease," Achor said.
People who follow these steps for 28 days experience physical changes in their brains, he added. "These things sound like tips and tricks, but they're the building blocks of developing positive patterns."
Building positive patterns and creating social networks can lead to success in business: Those who have strong social support are 10 times more engaged at work than those without it, and they're 40% more likely to be promoted.
"If you give to the social support you reap an advantage not only in terms of happiness, but a financial one as well," Achor said. "The more we smile, the more optimistic we are, and the more we're positive actually ripples out to other people around us—our coworkers, our family members, and our customers."

After speaking with the website designers and partners of the company its decided that the look for the website is for the corporate look originally it was decided that the website would along the inflated look and feel/party theme but this as mentioned has now changed. Sorry for this chaps its a pain for me as well :-(

195 Marion County elementary students still out sick, officials say
Test results awaited in suspected norovirus outbreak at East Marion Elementary School
MARION COUNTY, Fla. – Marion County school officials say 195 students are still absent from school on Monday after some sort of illness kept hundreds of students home sick on Friday.
School officials said nearly 300 students were absent from East Marion Elementary on Friday, likely because of a norovirus outbreak.
The health department hasn't officially identified the type of virus, as school officials await test results, which could come back early this week.
Over the weekend, school workers disinfected everything at the school and deployed anti-virus equipment. School officials said they will continue to sanitize the school each night until the problem goes away.
On Monday, an additional 37 students went home early and it's not clear how many of the 195 students out sick on Monday were sick from Friday or became ill over the weekend. Seven staff members and three cafeteria workers are also absent.
"Most of my staff that have been sick have been sick no longer than 24 hours," said principal Rusty Corley, who added he had the illness over the weekend as well.
Corley said teachers have been providing hand sanitizer and frequently washing desks. The school is also bringing in lunches from outside rather than preparing food from inside the building.
"We have crews come out tomorrow to test our water, test our water pressure so students aren't putting their mouths on the faucets," Corley said. "All these little things that will hopefully eliminate the problem."
The total number of students absent on Friday was about 280 students, including 50 students who went home early, said spokesman Kevin Christian
As for Monday's total students absent, Christian said "the numbers are down, but they are still way too high."
School officials urge parents to remind kids to wash their hands regularly and to keep the children home if they show signs of being sick.
Local 6 spoke to one mother who said her son was vomiting for one night and showed no other symptoms.
"It worried me, that's why we kept him home Friday," said Nina Pieron, who said her first-grader son felt better over the weekend.

Drawing animal eyes can be one of the funnest parts of an animals face that you can draw. Taking that into consideration, I will go ahead and fill a couple requests that where made and one of them is "how to draw tiger eyes", step by step. Looking at a tiger one of the most recognizable things about them is their eyes. They have these eyes that seem like they can look right into your soul. Not a lot of animals have that ability, but a few do. I really like the way that these tiger eyes came out looking because they are very expressive. You can tell that the eyes are not in a relaxed state, but in a fully focused one. I wanted folks to really get a sense of what it would be like for a tiger to be staring at you in the eyes. Anyways, have fun drawing tiger eyes. I will be back with more fun so stay tuned in. Adios people!

MINNEAPOLIS -- Tens of thousands fathers and sons will enjoy a Major League Baseball game together today -- Father's Day, 2013. Tens of thousands more may slip into a minor league park; hundreds, perhaps thousands may take in a game at the College World Series in Omaha; an untold number will simply enjoy a game of catch or run down ground balls in the backyard or at neighborhood field.
Every son should be so lucky. Every father should be lucky. Every Fathers' Day -- or in this case, the days leading up to it -- should be as memorable as the one father and son Tom "Flash" Gordon and Nicholas "Nick" Gordon enjoyed this week.
Tom and Nick were among the hundreds of sons and dads that gathered in the Metrodome over the last four days and into Monday to be a part of the 2013 Perfect Game National Showcase. As the whole dad-son relationship goes, there really isn't anything especially remarkable about Tom and Nick, at least in terms of the other dad-son relationships enjoyed by the majority of the more than 300 top 2014 prospects that PG invited to the National Showcase this year.
What sets the Gordons apart is what they represent: two generations of excellence on the field of play, with the son hoping to one day at least equal the accomplishments of his dad, and the dad knowing in his heart his son has the ability to surpass anything he may have achieved during his playing career.
"My dad helps me every day," Nick said earlier this week while sitting in a skybox inside the Metrodome. "Whenever I'm not feeling well or when not everything is going my way, he's always there to help me, to get me back on track. He's never steered me wrong -- hasn't steered me wrong yet -- and whenever I need somebody I always go to my dad."
Nicholas Gordon, 17, has always had Flash to provide some baseball insight, but it also cannot be denied that the young man has been blessed with a heaping helping of natural ability. A shortstop and right-handed pitcher who calls Windermere, Fla., home and will be a senior at Olympia High School in the fall, Nick is ranked the No. 2 top overall national prospect (No. 1 shortstop) in the 2014 graduating class.
During Thursday's workout session at the PG National, Nick threw an event-best 94 mph across the infield and during a short pitching stint Saturday ran his fastball up to 92 mph; he also ran a 6.68-second 60-yard dash.
"It's great to play against the top competition," he said. "It helps me to push myself and I love coming out here and competing against these guys."
Sitting up in one of the Metrodome's box seats, taking it all in, was Tom -- or Flash or Dad, take your pick. He has been there for every one of the 19 PG events Nick has attended since 2010 and has enjoyed the ride at every stop along the way.
"It's a thrill, because as a parent you always want to see your kids go out there and succeed and become a whole lot better person (and) player," Tom said Thursday. "In every aspect you just want your kids to go out there and be themselves, for the most part, but it's been a dream come true. It's been a dream come true to watch my older son (Dee) play; it's a dream come true to watch my youngest son play ... I'm always riding that high rollercoaster."
Tom's oldest son, Devaris "Dee" Gordon, 25, is a shortstop with the Los Angeles Dodgers. Dee was a fourth-round pick of the Dodgers in 2008 and made his big league debut in 2011. He has played 17 games with the big club this season, but blocked by Hanley Ramirez at shortstop, he's currently at Triple-A Albuquerque exploring a possible switch to second base.
Right-hander Tom "Flash" Gordon enjoyed a 21-year big league career as both a starter and a closer, including his first eight years with the Kansas City Royals (he later enjoyed stints with the Red Sox, Cubs, Astros, White Sox, Yankees, Phillies and Diamondbacks). He appeared in 890 games, won 138 of them and saved another 158 with 1,928 strikeouts in 2,108 innings. Flash retired in 2009 at age 41 when Nick was 14 years old.
"He's been there and done that; he knows it all," Nick said when asked what sort of wisdom his dad imparts. "Whatever it takes for me to become a better player he's always there to tell me what I need to do and (remind me of) that extra mile that I need to go and that I always need to put in the work. He always makes sure my head stays on straight."
When Nick began his Perfect Game career, he actually played for his father on travel ball team called the Florida Flash. Tom folded that team early last summer when Nick decided to go play for FTB Baseball.
"It was great, because having my dad there -- he knows me best and helped me with everything I needed to do -- but I think sometimes he likes it better just watching me," Nick said of the Florida Flash experience while attending last year's PG Junior National Showcase here in the Metrodome. "I've learned a ton from him -- pitching, infield. He played the infield, too, so he helps me with that."
Tom Gordon does enjoy sitting back and watching his youngest son perform (He and his wife Yolanda also have a middle son Thomas, 22, and a daughter Cameron, 13). In that respect he's no different from the other dads at the PG National -- he just might be watching from with an entirely different perspective.
"All I ever wanted to do was be a baseball player," Tom said. "I had my heroes and idols and all that and that was great, because when I got the chance to get into the big leagues and get around professional ball, there were a lot of people that were always instrumental in helping me learn a lot more about the game. I was so young but I was also so energetic; I just wanted to find out as much as I could."
Tom, the dad, paused briefly before continuing.
"Now you see these kids getting together at such wonderful events like these Perfect Game events, you see these kids from all over the country competing to get themselves in the position for these scouts to like to what they're doing," he said. "It helps the scouts, it also helps baseball and it helps all of us because it gives these kids a chance to come together."
When Nick Gordon was at the 2012 PG Junior National Showcase a year ago, he was ranked the No. 4 national prospect in his class; he has now climbed to No. 2 (only Escondido, Calif., catcher Alex Jackson, who was also here this past week, is ranked higher). He is committed to Florida State and is also projected as an early first round selection in the 2014 MLB First-Year Player Draft, possibly going with one of the first 10 picks. Despite those details, he isn't satisfied.
"I've been OK with it; I wouldn't say I'm pleased because it's not over yet," Nick said of his progression as a ballplayer. "At the end of next year, when I know I went out and busted my butt every single game and left it all on the field, then I can say I'll be pleased."
His dad, on the other hand, likes very much what he's seen.
"Nicholas has a real good feel for the game of baseball itself," Tom said."I think what I'm seeing is a kid that is able to make some transitions and become a special player on the field and off the field, and also be able to make some adjustments, but he still has a lot of work. He's far, far away from being a guy where you can say that he's just totally got the whole feel for it, because once you learn it all, then it's time to leave; at the same time I'm really impressed with some of the things that he does."
It's Father's Day, 2013. It's a day when sons can be proud of their dads, and dads can be proud of their sons. And if you're a father or a son -- or both -- perhaps you've been as fortunate as the Gordons and have been able to spend a lot of time together at a ballpark or ball field of your choice.
"It's been very special," Nick Gordon said. "I'm so glad that my dad has been able to come with me everywhere that I've been; without my dad I don't know where I'd be right now."

True to Marion Zimmer Bradley's vision
WHEN DEBORAH J. ROSS MS '73 wrote a fan letter to renowned fantasy author Marion Zimmer Bradley in 1980, she had no idea that it would lead, 30 years later, to her taking the reins of Bradley's popular Darkover series. Hastur Lord, the latest novel in the series that takes its name from Bradley's fictional ice-covered planet, was released in January.
It was Bradley who provided Ross (Wheeler in those days) with her first professional sale in 1984, including Ross's story, "Imperatrix" that appeared in the first volume of Bradley's long-running anthology, Sword & Sorceress, created to remedy the lack of female protagonists in fantasy literature. The two writers became friends, and before Bradley's death in 1999, Ross was tapped to continue the Darkover series. Since then, Ross has penned five Darkover novels, working closely with the Marion Zimmer Bradley Literary Works Trust, and she has notes for two more. "I try to create story lines that are true to Marion's vision of Darkover and the themes that were meaningful to her," Ross says.
Besides carrying on Bradley's fictional world, Ross is busy on various projects of her own creation. She has branched out into editing with the Lace and Blade anthology series of "elegant romantic fantasy," releasing a new volume each Valentine's Day. She is also working on an original fantasy trilogy, The Seven-Petaled Shield. "It's a really big story," she says, "with echoes of Romans and Scythian horsemen and ancient Judea."
For budding fantasy and science fiction writers, Ross advises knowing the genre, attending conventions, and joining the Science Fiction and Fantasy Writers of America once published. The most important thing, though, she says, is "write the best damned story you can."
Inside the Oregon State Hospital
Grave problems at the Oregon State Hospital have led to negative headlines and serious allegations for the past five years. What is it really like inside the state-run institution, which treats people deemed criminally insane as well as those who are civilly committed?
Psychology professor Jan Haaken's new documentary, Guilty Except for Insanity, tells a disturbing tale of political neglect and public paranoia concerning the mentally ill, but also one of inspiring efforts to humanize the mental health system.
The documentary follows five people who enlisted the insanity defense after being charged with serious crimes; however, Haaken and her students interviewed more than 90 patients and staff over the two years of production.
Getting access to the hospital's patients and staff was not easy. Haaken attended public hearings of the Psychiatric Security Review Board, where she says she had "about 40 seconds to approach patients" as they came before the board with a lawyer. About half were interested.
At first, Haaken was limited to visiting hours, before slowly gaining access to the locked wards. Staff and patients at the hospital saw work samples and gave feedback at various junctures in the process of making the documentary.
A benefit screening of Guilty Except for Insanity is planned at the Northwest Film Center and Portland Art Museum's Whitsell Auditorium June 27 at 7 p.m. Cost is $8. Proceeds will support future documentary projects at PSU on community mental health issues.
Fallen Firefighters Memorial
INSTRUCTOR AND LOCAL ARCHITECT Aaron Whelton created the winning design for a new Portland Fallen Firefighters Memorial. He entered a contest held among PSU's adjunct architecture faculty to create the memorial, which will be built at the east end of the Hawthorne Bridge. The lanterns in Whelton's design symbolize the 36 firefighters who have perished in the line of duty.

WSTV Digital Media's award-winning documentaries provide an in-depth look at significant places and events in the city's history. Most are available for purchase on request.
Merger: Making the Twin City (2013) In 1913, Winston and Salem, two independent municipalities, merged their governments and their identities under the hyphenated name of Winston-Salem. It was a unique consolidation in the history of North Carolina. Virtually every other county grew up around a single, central municipality. From the start, however, Forsyth County had two – delineated only by the centerline of a street. Merger: Making the Twin City takes the viewer back in time for an informative and entertaining look at the origins of Salem in 1766, the establishment of Winston in 1849, and their sometimes rocky path to consolidation as North Carolina's "Twin City."
Engine Four (2007) In 1951, Winston-Salem became the first city in North Carolina, and just the second south of the Mason-Dixon line, to integrate a firehouse. Told through the voices of four surviving firemen of that integrated company, this entertaining and inspiring documentary shows how an improbable alliance of a black college professor, a white populist politician and the city's business elite enabled eight black firemen and seven white firemen to ignore the conventions of the Jim Crow South and live and work together. Winner of four Telly Finalist Awards as well as the 3CMA 2008 Savvy for Best One-Time Program. Running time 68 minutes.
Chasing the Clouds (2003) When it opened, Smith Reynolds Airport in Winston-Salem was hailed as one of the finest airports in the country. Its facilities help defeat the Axis during World War II, and later gave rise to one of the nation's leading airlines.
