Overcoming Stress: Research and Reality
Most days, it is easy to forget about the stress and turmoil in which our participants live. At the TYO Center, there is a certain level of organized chaos that staff and participants alike have come to thrive on. All the children know our teachers and our standards. They function with (relative) autonomy, play freely and interact respectfully. Most importantly, they all have access to the same experiences and resources. In their home environments, however, many of our participants contend with significant challenges: they are physically and verbally abused by family members, sleep in one-bedroom apartments with ten people, run out of water, are subject to the symptoms of a political situation they don't understand and cannot control, suffer from hunger and neglect. Yet, every morning and afternoon of our program the majority of them are sweet, straightforward, smiling children. I am continually astounded by their resiliency and their progress despite the tremendous obstacles before them. A recent article in the Washington Post prompted me to consider once again the effects of early childhood experiences on the brain and body. The article, based on recent research conducted by Cornell professor Gary W. Evans, explains the relationship between poverty, stress and working memory in children. His findings show that the longer a child lives in poverty, the higher their allostatic load (a measurement of stress) and the lower their working-memory at age seventeen. Working memory is essential not only for daily activities, but also for achievement in school and the formation of long-term memories. In Nablus, students spend the majority of their seventeenth year preparing for a standardized test that determines their academic and professional future—think SAT, GPA, TOEFL combined. According to Evans' research children who spent their entire childhood in poverty scored about 20 percent lower on working memory tests than their peers who were never poor.
While striking, I am not discouraged by the findings. True, poverty is only one of the multitude of obstacles that TYO's participants compete with, but everyday I see children eager to learn, continuing to thrive and overcoming insurmountable odds. It is with research like this in mind that TYO works closely with our in-house psychosocial specialist and consults other experts to ensure that our programs teach participants to identify and appropriately manage their emotions, especially those of stress and anxiety. Children like Momen give us hope that positive early childhood experiences can be as formative as detrimental ones.

Q: What is your name?
Jordan Gill.
Q: Where are you from?
Boston, MA.
Q: What is your role at Massachusetts General Hospital?
Executive assistant to the vice president for Development.
Q: Why did you choose to run the marathon for MassGeneral Hospital for Children?
I had always wanted to do it for the personal challenge, and as an employee volunteer, I was inspired by the pasta dinner before the 2009 Marathon. You can't find a better cause than childhood cancer, and the Mass General team is a wonderful team to be a part of.
Q: What kind of experience do you have as a runner?
I was a national champion rower in high school, but started running in college to stay in shape after I retired from rowing. The better I got at running, the more I enjoyed it. There is nothing better than a long run on a beautiful day.
Q: What inspires you as a runner?
I am motivated to run by simple things like the weather and good music, however in order to run long distances, you need to be inspired, and that's what the kids at the Mass General Cancer Center do; they are my inspiration.
Q: What has been your most memorable moment preparing for the marathon?
Running a half marathon during my vacation to South Africa.
Q: What have you learned about your patient partner and what makes her special?
Lizany is one of three children in her family; two of whom have spent a significant portion of their lives in treatment at Mass General. Lizany is special because she comes from a family of strong survivors and despite the horrific experiences she has had to face, she faces each with a sweet disposition.
Q: What are you most looking forward to about marathon day?
I am looking forward to seeing Lizany and her family at Mile 20 as they cheer on our team.
Q: Is there anything else you'd like to add?
I encourage any other members of the Mass General community who have considered running the Boston Marathon, to run as part of the Mass General team. It is a life-changing opportunity!

Joseph Barbella, an autistic 17-year-old from Franklin Square went missing on Feb. 12 in the afternoon around 5 after he left the San-Dee Lanes bowling alley in Malverne, according to Nassau County police. Search parties comprising police officials and local residents scoured the surrounding neighborhood afterward for a nightlong search, and he was found by Feb. 13 in the morning, in the backyard of a house on Mcintosh Court.
"It was just amazing to [see] the outpouring of love that came out last night and this morning to find Joseph," said Malverne Mayor Patti Ann McDonald at a news conference on Feb. 13 at the Malverne police headquarters. "It was just truly remarkable."
The homeowner who saw Barbella in her backyard called 911 and shortly after, the Malverne Police Department, along with the MTA Police K-9 Unit had arrived.
"As we were doing our initial survey, I just happened to be the one to poke my head over the fence and saw him," said Douglas Joseph, a K-9 unit officer. "He was down to a tank top, so he was really, really cold."
Over 120 residents were a part of the search party, according to Malverne Police Department Chief John Aresta.
"We were able to utilize them by teaming them up with police officers and fire department personnel, and they were able to break up into four-, six- or eight-person search teams," Aresta said.
Aresta posted a notice about the missing teen on Facebook, and it was shared over 6,000 times.
"We've always been a very tight-knit community," he said. "I've never seen a village come together like we do in times of trouble, and in times of celebration. In this village, everybody's looking to help."
"I knew how special Malverne is," McDonald added, "and last night proved it even more."
Aresta also said that the among the people who took part in searching for the missing teen, McDonald and Town Supervisor Laura Gillen — who was on her way to an event when she heard about the missing teen — put their "boots on the ground" and joined the search party.
"I'm going to give [Gillen] an application in case this politics thing doesn't work out," Aresta said jokingly. "This is where government all comes together for the common good."
Barbella was taken to the Nassau University Medical Center and is in "excellent condition", Aresta said, and that he did not suffer from hypothermia. Gillen said she visited Barbella at the hospital, and he told her that next time he goes bowling, he won't leave by himself, and he said he would show Gillen some of his bowling skills as well.

Yes, T.S. are Taylor Swift's initials, but last night they stood for totally sexy, which the 23-year-old country singer was at the 2013 Brit Awards.
The good girl is all grown-up! Tay flaunted her figure in a black Elie Saab dress, black strappy Giuseppe Zanotti shoes, and Neil Lane jewels on the red carpet, pairing it with a rocker-chic hairstyle complete with blunt bangs, a sultry smoky eye, and nude lips.
We love this look on her. It's fierce, fashion-forward, and daring thanks to the semi-risqué cut-outs down the front of her dress. Damn, girl's got legs for days.

I seriously considered which reading challenges I would take on this year. I enjoyed the challenges I did last year, but they didn't really help in terms of clearing my backlog…and I have quite the backlog! A few of the bloggers I know have been doing the Mount TBR challenge and it seems like the perfect choice for me as my TBR is out of control!
So here is the deal…courtesy of My Reader's Block.
Challenge Levels
Pike's Peak: Read 12 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Blanc: Read 24 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Vancouver: Read 36 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Ararat: Read 48 books from your TBR piles/s
Mt. Kilimanjaro: Read 60 books from your TBR pile/s
El Toro: Read 75 books from your TBR pile/s
Mt. Everest: Read 100 books from your TBR pile/s
Mount Olympus (Mars): Read 150+ books from your TBR pile/s
The Rules
*Once you choose your challenge level, you are locked in for at least that many books. If you find that you're on a mountain-climbing roll and want to tackle a taller mountain, then you are certainly welcome to upgrade. All books counted for lower mountains carry over towards the new peak.
*Challenge runs from January 1 to December 31, 2018.
*You may sign up anytime from now until November 1st, 2018.
*Books must be owned by you prior to January 1, 2018. No library books. If you're looking for a library book challenge or one that counts books on your non-owned TBR list, then there may be challenges out there that do that. This one does not.
*Rereads may count only in the following circumstances: If you did not own the book when you read it long ago and far away [based on your age, you can decide what that might mean] and you bought the book pre-January 1, 2018 intending to reread it now that it's your very own. [To clarify–the intention is to reduce the stack of books that you have bought for yourself or received as presents {birthday, Christmas, "just because," etc.}. Audiobooks and E-books may count if they are yours and they are one of your primary sources of backlogged books.]
*You may count any "currently reading" book that you begin prior to January 1–provided that you had 50% or more of the book left to finish when January 1 rolled around. I will trust you all on that.
*You may count "Did Not Finish" books provided they meet your own standard for such things, you do not plan to ever finish it, and you move it off your mountain [give it away, sell it, etc. OR remove it from your e-resources]. For example, my personal rule (unless it's a very short book) is to give a book at least 100 pages. If I decide I just can't finish it and won't ever, then off the mountain it goes and I count it as a victory–the stack is smaller!
*Books may be used to count for other challenges as well.
*Feel free to submit your list in advance (as incentive to really get those books taken care of) or to tally them as you climb.
*There will be quarterly check-ins and prize drawings!
*A blog and reviews are not necessary to participate. If you have a blog, then please post a challenge sign up and link THAT post (not your home page) into the linky below. Non-bloggers, please leave a comment declaring your challenge level–OR, if you are a member of Goodreads, I will once again put together a group for the challenge there. Feel free to sign up HERE if that's where you want to participate. At the beginning of the year, I will update the sidebar link called Mount TBR Review Headquarters for current reviews and progress updates.
Based on the rules… I currently have 314 books on my TBR, 233 qualify for this challenge (yes I have a problem!) I'm going to TRY and cut back on ARC's to catch up on clearing these a little so I'm going to try for three a month, which will include the TBR Topple book as well. so my challenge level will be:
Mt. Vancouver: Read 36 books from your TBR pile/s
I will track the book's on this page through the year and link to the review's as they are written so let's see how it goes!
Mount TBR Reading List 2018
- Jill Shalvis – Animal Magnetism
- Nikki Landis – The Guardian
- P.C. Cast – Goddess of the Sea

Later on Chester shows up and we learn a bit of the history he has with Coach Eric.

Meanwhile, we meet the Harvey's neighbor, Lucy, as she's out jogging with Claire. Jake is found following the two ladies..
AY PAPI 14Still angry over his confrontation with Chester, Richard tries to keep his mind off the day's episode at work by visiting his favorite strip club. Though other girls there are trying to vie for his attention (and hard earned cash), Richard is there awaiting his favorite stripper, the beautiful Daisy. Things get risky when Richard's over-sexed libido gets the better of him and he tries to take things too far..
AY PAPI 13It's morning and Richard is back at his office to start the day. He's met by Kim Kummings who though she seems frantic about something, Richard doesn't particularly notice and is only interested in one thing with her.

Vampire Skeletons Found With Iron Stakes Through Heart
Scientists recently unearthed two 16th century vampire skeletons in Bulgaria that were buried with iron stakes through their hearts. Why the medieval vampire hunters didn't use garlic marinaded steaks is beyond me, but I suspect it's because I'm dumb and have the brain of a dinosaur (my dad was a t-rex).
National history museum chief Bozhidar Dimitrov said: "These two skeletons stabbed with rods illustrate a practice which was common in some Bulgarian villages up until the first decade of the 20th century.
"These people were believed to be evil while they were alive, and it was believed that they would become vampires once they are dead, continuing to torment people.
"The curious thing is that there are no women among them. They were not afraid of witches."
Reread that last paragraph. You know what that's called? Bad science. Just because there were no women among the remains doesn't mean they weren't afraid of witches. They probably just burned them all and fed their bones to a dragon. You can't go jumping to conclusions like that.
Thanks to Tony and Nathan J., who don't believe in vampires but are deathly afraid of ghosts and magic.

The Senate Judiciary Committee voted 11 to 7 on Thursday in support of a bill that would require live video broadcasts of arguments at the US Supreme Court.
The bill, S1945, mandates live audio and visual coverage of all open sessions at the high court unless a majority of justices decide that such coverage in a particular case would violate the due process rights of any party involved.
The action comes as the Supreme Court prepares for an extraordinary five and a half hours of argument over three days in late March in a potential landmark challenge to President Obama's health-care reform law. The case is drawing substantial national interest, but the public section of the courtroom is relatively small and cameras are not allowed.
"The Supreme Court decision will impact all Americans," Judiciary Committee Chair Patrick Leahy (D) of Vermont said. "It is no surprise that there is tremendous public interest in witnessing these historic arguments."
Passage by the Senate and the House is uncertain. The action marks the sixth time such a bill has been voted out of the judiciary committee and sent to the full Senate.
"I know that some justices are not fans of televising their proceedings," Senator Leahy said. "I understand that they do not want to be made fun of through an unflattering video clip or to be quoted out of context. But that happens to the rest of us in public service all the time," he said.
"It is not particularly pleasant, but it is part of our democracy," Leahy said.
California Senator Dianne Feinstein was the only Democrat on the Judiciary Committee to vote against the bill. "The court does not want this," she said. "I don't believe we should tell the Supreme Court what to do. We are separate branches of government."
She added that the spectacle of the O.J. Simpson case had convinced her that "because something is televised does not necessarily mean that justice is better."
The measure is co-sponsored by Sen. Dick Durban (D) of Illinois and Sen. Chuck Grassley (R) of Iowa. Texas Republican Sen. John Cornyn joined Senator Grassley in supporting the bill, but the six other Republicans on the committee voted no.
During an October Senate hearing on the role of the judiciary, Justices Antonin Scalia and Stephen Breyer were asked their views on whether high court sessions should be broadcast live.
"When I first came to the court … I was initially in favor of televising arguments, but the longer I have been there, the less good an idea I think it is," Justice Scalia told the senators in a televised hearing Oct. 5.
"If I really thought the American people would get educated, I would be all for it," he said. But most people rather than watching the entire case would rely on summaries and truncated reports that would likely create misperceptions, he said.
"For every ten people who sat through our proceedings gavel to gavel, there would be 10,000 who would see nothing but a 30-second outtake from one of the proceedings, which I guarantee you would not be representative of what we do," Scalia said.
Justice Breyer agreed, but for a slightly different reason.
"We are trustees [of a cherished institution]. And we do not want to make a decision that will be nonreversible and hurt the court," he said.
Nonetheless, Breyer told the senators there are times at the high court where history and law dramatically converge in a case, forcing the justices to confront and decide a difficult constitutional dilemma. Those are the cases, he said, where it would be good for the court and for the public to have greater access.
But Breyer said more research was necessary to convince him to allow cameras at the Supreme Court. "Maybe eventually … it will just seem weird, what we do now [barring live broadcasts], and it will all change," Breyer said.
Leahy recalled Breyer's earlier statement. "I think that time has come," he said. "When so many cell phones are equipped with a video camera and with the advent of YouTube and ubiquitousness of the Internet, there is very little that is not able to be viewed."
"It is time for the Supreme Court to open its arguments to the American people – not just those members of the Supreme Court bar who have seats reserved in the hearing room," Leahy said.
Grassley said he and Senator Chuck Schumer (D) of New York had urged the court to allow live broadcasts during the 2000 Florida recount cases, Bush v. Gore. The court responded by releasing an audio recording shortly after the arguments.
"It was a sign of progress that gave the entire country the opportunity to experience what so few get to: the Supreme Court at work," Grassley said.
In 2010, the court, under Chief Justice John Roberts, began releasing audio tapes of argument sessions at the end of each week, he added. The court also releases a full transcript of each argument a few hours after the argument.
Grassley said these are steps in the right direction. "But it's not enough," he said.
Leahy noted that Sunday's Super Bowl drew 11 million viewers. "No one would have tolerated that game being recorded and broadcast days later or its plays being transcribed and released at the end of the week," he said.
"The outcome of the Supreme Court argument next month … will affect Americans more than the outcome of any football game," he said.
