Despite growing interest in examining the role of religion in business ethics, there is little consensus concerning the basis or standards of "good" or ethical behavior and the reasons behind them. This limits our ability to enhance ethical behavior in the workplace. We address this issue by examining worldviews as it relates to ethics research and practice. Our worldview forms the context within which we organize and build our understanding of reality. Given that much of our academic work as well as business practice operate from a modern worldview, we examine how modernism shapes our beliefs and approaches to ethics in business and academia. We identify important limitations of modernism in addressing moral issues and religion. We then introduce the Christian worldview as an alternative approach to examining ethical issues in business

Powell and Simpson have suspensions cut
By Kayon Raynor
KINGSTON (Reuters) - Jamaican sprinters Asafa Powell and Sherone Simpson have had their 18-month drug suspensions cut to six months and are free to continue competing, the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) said on Monday.
"The CAS decided to reduce their period of ineligibility to six months, which has been already served," the global court said in a statement on its website.
CAS said it would announce a reason for its decision in a few weeks.
Powell and Simpson, who had tested positive for a stimulant last year, both said they were elated with the decision.
"I feel total relief and that we have finally been vindicated," Simpson said in a statement. "Our actions were not intentional and CAS has recognized that. I am truly thankful."
Powell added: "I always felt that the 18 months was not in line with a first time positive test result and it being proven it came from a tainted supplement."
Jamaican officials said they would abide by the decision.
"We see and note the ruling by CAS and we will abide by the ruling as it is from the final court," Jamaica Anti-Doping Commission executive director Carey Brown told Reuters. Continued...

Damon Hill's retirement from Formula One is already prompting worries over the dwindling British presence in motorsport's 'top flight'.
Damon Hill's retirement from Formula One is already prompting worries over the dwindling British presence in motorsport's 'top flight'.
The 1996 world champion brought the curtain down on his career at last week's season-ending Japanese Grand Prix and despite Eddie Irvine's brave but failed tilt at the title this year, questions are already being asked as to who will take over as Hill's successor in the hearts of the British public.
Irvine will be one of a trio of Brits lining up on the grid next season along with McLaren's David Coulthard and Johnny Herbert - who will be Irvine's team-mate at Jaguar, the re-badged Stewart Ford team.
But they are not getting any younger: Irvine is 34 next week, Herbert is 35 and Coulthard 28, and there is no-one immediately behind them to fly the Union Jack at the top of the podium.
So the British Racing Drivers' Club (BRDC) met in London to launch a new initiative aimed at producing and nurturing British talent for the future.
The scheme, grandly named PowerTour, is geared towards making British motorsport more accessible for the spectator and easier to break into for budding drivers.
The main aim is to attract new fans by reducing admission prices and increasing national television coverage of events, therefore attracting new corporate sponsorship to the sport.
The funds gained from this are to be used to boost prize money and abolish event entrance fees for competitors, making the various motor racing formulae and classes a more attractive package for all.
Former grand prix driver Martin Brundle, now a commentator with ITV and a director of the BRDC, believes the current crop of young British talent shows promising signs for the future, but insists more drivers need to be coming through the ranks.
He said: "The story today is that there's nobody ready to take over immediately from Damon Hill.
"We've got three or four young guys who are on the slightly distant horizon that could well cut the mustard - but we need more.
"We need a much wider range of drivers in all the formulae to put Britain where it has been in the past and where it should be."
The former Benetton driver and Le Mans winner reckons the incentive is a positive step towards creating the environment needed to discover the drivers of the future.
"It needs kick-starting and although there's a lot more that needs to be done, it's nice to see the BRDC pro-active on it, giving new stepping stones and foundations to move forward from," said Brundle.
"It's good for the fans as well, they're changing the package and making a shorter programme with defined race times and involving radio and TV more.
"So it's going to be a lot easier for the drivers to get the sponsorship and there's no doubt about it that when you go to a sponsor and start talking about guaranteed terrestrial TV coverage you're on to a winner."
Brundle acknowledges that the immediate future of British interest in F1 is quite healthy with all three of our drivers occupying seats in decent cars next year.
"Certainly the Stewart Ford team, which morphs into the Jaguar team over the winter, will be strong with Irvine and Herbert," he said.
"Coulthard is obviously in a great car next year in the McLaren so in Formula One we're looking good.
"But it's not many years ago I was one of six British grand prix drivers and now we've got three - two of whom are moving towards the end of their career and one of them that's at least mid-career."
Brundle thinks the drivers whose F1 ambitions may well see them break into the sport in the next couple of years could include British Formula Three champion Marc Hynes, who is 28, teenage prodigy Jenson Button, 19, who came third in the same championship, McLaren test driver Darren Turner, 25, and Japanese Formula Three champion Darren Manning, 24.
He added: "There's three or four of them really, but when the spotlight comes on in Formula One it's not always predictable who will wilt under that light and who's going to draw energy from it.
"They are out there and hopefully there's a way of putting them through F3000 (the springboard for F1) and getting them F1 test drives."Reuse content

//////////HAPPENING TODAY: OBAMA WILL VIEW HURRICANE DAMAGE IN NEW JERSEY WITH CHRIS CHRISTIE. President Obama will travel to New Jersey on Wednesday to view the destruction wrought by Hurricane Sandy on the state. Scheduled to appear with Governor Chris Christie, Obama has suspended personal appearances at campaign events to respond to the storm reports ABCs Matt Larotonda. Speaking at the Red Cross headquarters in Washington Tuesday, Obama said his thoughts and prayers were with those who lost loved ones in the devastating hurricane, which has claimed at least ten lives in New York City alone. http://abcn.ws/Sv8XOf
Romney is still on the campaign trail for the rest of the week,he has no intention of seeing the disaster area along the east coast from hurricane Sandy. Obama has suspended his campaign for now to talk and see the people that were affected by the storm. Again, it's all about Romney
That Libya fairy tale which left four Americans dead?
Well, he says hes not concerned about the impact on the elections.
Im sure hes very sincere on that.
But it is a little odd that he shows up in the Briefing Room where he hasn't shown up in the Briefing Room for what, a month-and-a-half?
For Libya or for anything else for that matter.
Then you get the photo-ops of him in the Situation Room deploying I guess the utility crews who restore power all over America.
Where you would think he might want to use the Situation Room to convene high level people during the night hours when our people were under attack in Benghazi.
Its hard to look at this, playing the president, playing the Commander in Chief in whats a natural disaster that really doesn't require a lot of from the White House.
Its up to the governors mostly.
The White House and the government release money.
Thats all they do and hes really good at releasing money.

Getting desperate I see.
Not very Presidential.

I was just pointing out that in a pipeline, it's not always the case that _anything_ has streamed out (needs to be buffered) by the time the headers are all ready - even if the headers are set in the Serializer.

That's a circular argument! :-) My point is that in a data-driven model, the pipeline may not know until the Serializer has started processing the stream (and not just at setup() but after startDocument()) what the characteristics of the data are. Since the Response headers are supposed to reflect what the data is, shouldn't it be possible for the data to influence what headers are sent to represent it? The Servlet spec, with all its redirects and includes, makes it possible, although with many cautions about flushing etc. >> >> I'd propose a shouldSetContentType(), which would be a special case (not >> the general case); it would tell the pipeline to wait to send output until >> the contentType is set.

Aaron Rodgers is listed first and second in the Green Bay Packers' record book under "times sacked," with a franchise-record 51 last season and 50 in 2009.
Rodgers played every game of those seasons.
This season, the Packers are protecting the passer better than they have in years. Green Bay quarterbacks have been sacked 23 times in 10 games, putting the team on pace to yield 37 for the season. Of course, it's one of those sacks that will have Rodgers on the sideline for a third consecutive game on Sunday when the Packers host the Vikings.
Since Rodgers took over as quarterback in 2008, the Packers allowed 51 sacks in 2012, 41 in 2011, 38 in 2010, 51 in 2009 and 34 in 2008. A better measuring stick might be sacks per pass attempt. By that measure, Green Bay ranks 11th at 6.61 percent this season, followed by 28th (9.14 percent) in 2012, 22nd (7.43 percent) in 2011, 20th (7.02 percent) in 2010, 29th (9.22 percent) in 2009 and 18th (6.28 percent) in 2008.
The story has gotten better as the season has progressed. After giving up 10 sacks in the first three games, Green Bay has allowed a fifth-ranked 13 over the past seven. That includes a shutout against the Giants and one the week before against Philadelphia. That two-game total of one sack is its best since the Packers allowed no sacks in Weeks 2 and 3 of 2010.
"Well, I tell you what, our guys have done a good job, especially in the third down," coach Mike McCarthy said. "And people are being are being aggressive with us, too, make no mistake about it."
Offensive coordinator Tom Clements said there was nothing magical about the team's improvement.
"We've blocked better and we've made better decisions about whether to hold onto it or throw it away," he said. "Simple as that."
Right guard T.J. Lang delved further into the topic and pointed to a run game that's averaging 4.7 yards per carry instead of 3.8, 3.9 and 3.9 in 2010 through 2012.
"I think guys are doing a better job of finishing their blocks," he told Packer Report on Friday. "Really, it's the emergence of the run game. That's something that you're seeing defenses, you keep them guessing. They just don't tee off any more like they used to, when we were throwing the ball 50 times a game. That helps slow down pass rushes a little bit. I think we put a lot of work in the offseason in making sure we give the quarterback time. We didn't do a great job last year and we got criticized pretty heavily for it. We wanted to make sure that that wasn't going to happen again."
Pass protection isn't just limited to the offensive line. Nonetheless, there are two players who deserve credit. One is rookie left tackle David Bakhtiari, who yielded four sacks in the first four games but none in the last six, according to ProFootballFocus.com. And Lang has allowed just one after giving up nine last season, when he was plagued by an elbow injury and wound up starting four games at right tackle.
"The thing with me personally, last year I was going through a couple different things — moving to tackle, playing through the elbow injury," he said. "I wasn't playing healthy and I was kind of struggling. This year, I've been pretty lucky to stay healthy so far — knock on wood. Also, I've been getting the majority of reps at one position rather than moving over. That's a tribute to the other guys staying healthy, as well. When I'm a healthy player and I'm playing with no injuries, I feel like I'm pretty good."
The Packers' special teams have been, indeed, nothing special.
To back up that contention, Packer Report created its own special-teams rankings. Special teams are about providing field position. Four of our five categories are focused on field position: average starting field position following kickoffs (return and coverage), net punting (punt team) and punt-return average. The fifth category is field-goal percentage.
The Packers rank 29th in our rankings, due in large part to ranking last in field position following a kickoff (25.1-yard line) and next-to-last following a kickoff return (19.5-yard line). The Packers rank sixth in punt return average, thanks in large part to Micah Hyde's touchdown vs. Minnesota, and are 19th in net punting. Interestingly, while Mason Crosby is having a bounce-back season at 85.2 percent, he ranks only 21st in accuracy. While subject to change as the weather gets colder, NFL kickers are hitting a record 85.9 percent.
Injuries have been a big factor. Last season, Jarrett Bush (17), Robert Francois (13), M.D. Jennings (10), Jamari Lattimore (10) and Ryan Taylor (eight) were the top five tacklers. Bush has missed four games, Francois played in four and is on injured reserve, Lattimore saw his special-teams duties greatly reduced when elevated to the starting lineup for three games and Taylor missed two games.
"I think continuity is important in terms of production," special teams coordinator Shawn Slocum said. "We've had to use a number of different people at different positions and we've had some issues as a result of that."
The Vikings are tied for 11th on the strength of the top-ranked kickoff and punt returns. We'll have more on dynamic rookie kickoff returner Cordarrelle Patterson a little later.
Eddie Lacy is getting the Adrian Peterson treatment.
Without a legit quarterback, Peterson routinely runs into eight-in-the-box defenses designed to limit his production. Without Rodgers, Lacy has seen a steady diet of eight-in-the-box the last two weeks.
"Lacy, he had come in and helped their running game tremendously," Peterson said during a conference call on Wednesday. "But it shows with Aaron Rodgers not back there how big of a difference he makes and what he means to that offense.
"Defensive coordinators are going to try to attack your strength."
Lacy was limited to 27 yards on 14 carries by the Giants last week. By Packer Report's count, 26 of those yards came after contact. Against Philadelphia, again by our count, 63 of Lacy's 73 yards came after contact.
"Look at it this way," offensive line coach James Campen began, his frustration increasing with every sentence. "If you've got seven guys to block with the tight end and the fullback, you have seven somewhere in that box to block with and then the eighth guy is on defense, so we've got to do a better job, whether it's blocking with five, six, seven guys, of staying on guys. We've just got to frickin' block and leave the one for the back to beat. I'll take that chance any day with our backs one-on-one with somebody. You can sit there and write about 'There's eight in the box' and that, to me, that's just an excuse. Block the ... guy that you're supposed to block. Now you've got me worked up. Block the guy like you've been blocking. Just because there's another guy in the box, what? Don't worry about that guy. Somebody else will worry about him. Or the back will make him miss or run over him."
That's exactly what running backs coach Alex Van Pelt is expecting after Lacy's long run went for just 5 yards last week.
"Breaking a tackle, making him miss," Van Pelt said of how to beat eight-in-the-box defenses. "Eight in the box doesn't mean you can't run it. They have to fit it the right way, as well. One guy gets out of the gap and there's an open gap there. We didn't get enough out of the run game, obviously, last week. We've got to block better, we've got to run harder, we've got to run better, smarter."
If brute force can't beat eight in the box, then the alternative is to unleash Scott Tolzien, which certainly is a dicey proposition. The Packers did that to an extent last week, and he hit on five passes of at least 25 yards. The big plays will be there, if Tolzien can make the throws again, because there will be nothing but one-on-one coverage on the outside.
"It's the way it's going to be," receiver Jordy Nelson said. "I mean, if I was a defensive coordinator, I'd be doing the same thing. You've got a young quarterback back there, you're going to make him make the plays to win the game. I think we should be able, and need to be able, to run the ball vs. an eight-man front. It's going to be hard but I think we can still do it, and I think if they do that, the play-action game will be there for us like it was last week. We just need to continue to make more plays and eliminate some more mistakes."
— 4. Peterson has averaged 115.5 rushing yards per game in his 13 meetings with the Packers. That's the most by any player against Green Bay.
Brace Hemmelgarn/USA Today Sports
"It's a division game. It's who's going to stay more disciplined, who's going to finish better and not miss the tackles," defensive line coach Mike Trgovac said. "We won't have a lot of surprises for them and they won't have a lot of surprises for us. It's a division game. This will be the fifth time in probably a year that we've played these guys. That should help but he's a tough player. Like I told them the other day, 'Look, you might have a run fitted perfectly and he busts out of there for a gain. You've got to forget that play and go line up and play the next one because he's coming at your (butt) again.' He's made a lot of good players in this league miss. You might have a run fitted perfectly and he breaks a tackle. He's done that to a lot of people. Like I told them, 'That's why he's going to be in Hall of Fame. You've got to line up and get him the next play.'"
The Packers were trounced on the ground by the Bears (171 yards) and Eagles (204) but they stiffened last week against the Giants (78 yards; 3.3 average).
"I think our long run against us was 12 yards last week," defensive coordinator Dom Capers said. "The last time we played these guys, Peterson's long run was 17 yards. You're always concerned about his ability to pop one out of there because he's big and strong and explosive. Any time you play against him, you can't ever relax because you miss a tackle or two, and he can take the thing the distance, which we saw a year ago when we played them here."
— 5. Since the Vikings hired Mike Priefer as special teams coordinator in 2011, Minnesota and Denver are tied for tops in the league with six touchdowns on kick returns.
Four of the Vikings' touchdowns have come on kickoff returns, including the 109-yarder by Patterson in the teams' first matchup and Patterson's 105-yarder earlier in the season. Since 2011, the Vikings lead the NFL in kickoff-return average (27.0) and they have twice as many kickoff-return touchdowns as any team in the league. This season, the Vikings' average starting point of the 25.8-yard line following a kickoff is tops in the league. Patterson is averaging a league-high 34.4 yards per kickoff return while Green Bay has yielded a league-worst 28.6 yards per kickoff return.
"You go way back and look at a guy like Tamarick Vanover," Slocum said when asked for a comparison. "Strong, kind of chewed up the grass when he ran. His cleats where digging in the grass, I see Cordarrelle being a little like that. One of the returns against Seattle last week, he caught the ball and turned a corner and he was gaining speed on his turn. It was impressive. He's a good player."
Priefer, by the way, is a former Navy helicopter pilot and Green Bay native. His father, Chuck, coached in the NFL for 17 seasons, including as special teams/linebackers coach of the Packers in 1984 and 1985.
— 6. The addition of Greg Jennings allegedly was going to push the Vikings past the Packers in the NFC North. That, of course, hasn't happened. Jennings was unable to play last week against Seattle due to an injured Achilles — a decision that Frazier wasn't expecting — and is listed as questionable for Sunday. Jennings has caught 34 passes for 410 yards and two touchdowns this season. Compare that to Jarrett Boykin, who barely got on the field during the first month of the season. He has 29 catches for 453 yards and a touchdown.
The thought among some insiders, pointing to his decreasing yards-per-catch numbers, was Jennings was past his prime. While he's averaging just 12.1 yards per reception this year — he averaged a combined 12.8 in 2011 and 2012 after four consecutive seasons of at least 16.2 — his yards after the catch per reception is an impressive 5.79. That ranks 35th among all players, according to the league's media stats site. He averaged 4.56 in 2012 and 4.12 YAC in 2011, well below his 5.28 in 2010 and 6.76 in 2009
Jennings was limited to one catch for 9 yards in the previous matchup against Green Bay.
Did the Packers do anything to take away Jennings?
"No," cornerbacks coach Joe Whitt replied simply.
"We covered him. We covered him well," Whitt said. "But I mean, we didn't match a guy on him. We just covered him. They did a good job of covering him that week. Hopefully, we can match that this week and cover him."
— 7. Here are Christian Ponder's career touchdown passes: 13 to tight end Kyle Rudolph, eight to Percy Harvin, three to Peterson, Michael Jenkins and Jarius Wright, two to Toby Gerhart and Visanthe Shiancoe, and one to Stephen Burton, Cordarrelle Patterson and John Carlson. Rudolph is out with a broken foot, Harvin was traded to Seattle and Jenkins is out of the league.
All told, of Ponder's 37 career touchdown passes, only 10 of those touchdowns have gone to players on the roster. The Vikings' starting receivers, Jennings and Jerome Simpson, have not caught a scoring toss from Ponder.
— 8. Regardless of who is throwing the ball and the level of talent surrounding him, just call Nelson "Mr. Consistency."
To have a 1,000 yard season, you need to average 62.5 yards per game. Nelson has reached that figure in eight of 10 games.
Jeff Hanisch/USA Today Sports
His season-low reception total of three came against Washington. He turned two of those into touchdowns.
He's caught 29 passes for 454 yards (15.7 average) with three touchdowns in the first halves of games and 28 passes for 435 yards (15.5) and four touchdowns in the second halves.
Add it up, and Nelson has caught 57 passes for 889 yards and seven touchdowns this season. He's sixth in the league with a 15.6-yard average, seventh in yards, tied for ninth in touchdowns and leads the league with 13 gains of 25-plus yards.
"I'm going to play the game the same with or without those guys," Nelson said. "I can only control one thing on game day — that's the way I play. I would hope to believe that with Aaron out there, I would play the same if it's Aaron or Scott. Or if Randall and James out there. I'm going to run my route to the best of my ability and try to get open. It doesn't matter who's throwing it or who else is out there. I can only control what I can control."
— 9. This will be the 100th game of Peterson's illustrious career. With 100 games, Peterson will qualify for NFL career records. Thus, his 98.0 rushing yards per game would rank third in NFL history behind Jim Brown (104.3) and Barry Sanders (99.8).
— 10. Peterson was the team's first-round pick in 2007. Because of him, the Vikings lead the NFL over the last six-and-a-half seasons with 140.6 rushing yards per game (Carolina is second with 135.4), 4.8 yards per carry (Philadelphia is second with 4.7) and 430 rushes of at least 10 yards (Carolina is second with 414).
— 11. Since entering the league, Peterson has exactly 9,700 rushing yards. That's a whopping 2,180 yards more than second-place Chris Johnson. Peterson's 85 rushing touchdowns are 24 more than second-place Michael Turner, and Peterson's 90 total touchdowns are 28 more than second-place Turner. Peterson ranks 15th in NFL history in rushing touchdowns, two ahead of Jim Taylor.
— 12. When Tolzien lines up behind center on Sunday, he'll join a pretty short list.
Other than Rodgers and Brett Favre, Don Majkowski is the only Packers quarterback to start consecutive games since 1992. Majkowski started the first three games of that season before sustaining a franchise-changing history.
"Yeah, we have been spoiled," receiver James Jones said. "I believe I had seen an article before the season started on how healthy our quarterbacks have been. You guys probably jinxed us."
For those of you keeping score, the Bears and Vikings have started 21 quarterbacks during that span and the Lions 18. The Vikings will start Ponder on Sunday. Had coach Leslie Frazier opted for Matt Cassel or Josh Freeman, Minnesota's starting count would have risen to 22.
— 13. When Green Bay won 44-31 last month, it set a series record with a combined 75 points. Points have been plentiful in the series for the Packers. In five of the last six games, they scored at least 30 against the Vikings.
— 14. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, Tolzien's 619 passing yards in his first two NFL games is fourth-most in NFL history. Cam Newton leads by a mile, figuratively speaking, with 854 yards. The others: Todd Marinovich (638) and Case Keenum (621). According to the Packers, Tolzien's 339 yards in his first start with the team broke the club record held by Mike Tomczak (317 yards in 1991).
— 15. Favre's name came up twice in the NFL's weekly releases. Peyton Manning and the Broncos face Tom Brady and the Patriots this week. Manning is second in NFL history with 470 touchdown passes and Brady is fifth with 348. Favre, of course, is No. 1 with 508. Also, among position players, London Fletcher became the third player in NFL history to play in 250 games. Favre tops that list with 299, followed by Jim Marshall with 282.
— 16. The Vikings have 10 first-round picks on their roster: DT Kevin Williams (2003), LB Chad Greenway (2006), Peterson (2007), QB Josh Freeman (2009), QB Christian Ponder (2011), LT Matt Kalil (2012), S Harrison Smith (2012), DT Sharrif Floyd (2013), CB Xavier Rhodes (2013) and WR Cordarrelle Patterson (2013). Of those 10, Williams, Greenway, Peterson, Ponder, Kalil and Rhodes will start, and Floyd and Patterson will have key roles. (Smith, the standout safety, is on the team's short-term injured reserve list with turf toe and is eligible to begin practicing next week.)
The Packers have seven first-round picks on the roster: QB Aaron Rodgers (2005), ILB A.J. Hawk (2006), DT B.J. Raji (2009), OLB Clay Matthews (2009), OT Derek Sherrod (2011), OLB Nick Perry (2012) and DE Datone Jones (2013). Only Hawk, Raji and Matthews will start, with Rodgers and Perry sidelined by injuries, Bryan Bulaga (2010) on injured reserve and Sherrod having not played in almost two years.
— 17. Both teams have been relatively healthy up front. Green Bay will be without right tackle Don Barclay (knee) for the second consecutive week. Minnesota also has missed just two games from its starting line, with left guard Charlie Johnson and right tackle Phil Loadholt each missing one game this season. Last year, the Vikings' starting line of left tackle Kalil, left guard Johnson, center John Sullivan, right guard Brandon Fusco and right tackle Loadholt started every game together.
— 18. The Vikings will be without starting cornerback Josh Robinson, perhaps for the rest of the season, with a chest injury. The Packers torched Robinson in the first matchup. According to ProFootballFocus.com, he allowed 8-of-9 passing for 81 yards, including Rodgers' short touchdown to Nelson. In his place, first-round pick Rhodes will be elevated and Marcus Sherels will play the nickel.
— 19. With six weeks to go, there are 23 teams either in or within one game of a playoff spot. The Packers are 10th in the NFC, with San Francisco, Arizona and Chicago at 6-4 and ahead of Green Bay for the final spot.
"The big picture is still ahead of us," cornerback Tramon Williams said. "We still have all the guys in our division who we need to compete with and beat. We still have that ahead of us. If we go out and we run the table, everything will be all is well. It's always easier said than done. But at the same time, like I said, the big picture is still ahead of us. We still have confidence that it can get done."
Or, the best thing that was said that we couldn't work into a story this week.
— 20. Nelson, on not leading at any point in the last two games: "It makes the game a lot harder. I think any team is better when they have the lead. Offensively, you can control what you want to do, you still have the run and the pass. Defensively, allows them to get after the quarterback, make them a little more one-dimensional. So, any team plays better with the lead. We need to come out, start fast no matter who it is that's on the field. If it's defense, they need to get off the field. Offense, we need to score touchdowns and put us in a situation where we can stay aggressive."

For those of you who have read my previous blogs you will know I have been on this journey of trying to get my health back for almost 3 years now.
This is the blog that at so many points in my journey I thought I would never get to write. It took me the best part of 2 years to actually figure out what was going on with me, why I had no energy, why I had chronic pain, why I had digestive issues and severe bloating, why my hair was falling out, why I was no longer able to do the things I used to do… especially running which I loved so much and why I had fallen into a massive heap. After finally getting a diagnosis in November last year with Adrenal Fatigue and hormone imbalances I was further diagnosed with a Thyroid Disorder in January this year. Finally getting these answers was exciting because it meant that now I knew exactly what I was dealing with and that there was a way forward. The way forward certainly hasn't been easy, there is no quick fix, no magic pill, there have been so many ups and downs and lessons learned. In saying that there is no such thing as quick fix or magic pill, I never wanted one, I wanted to figure out how and why I got there and I wanted to make the changes necessary to get myself out of there and back on track to prevent myself from falling into the same trap again. I believe there is always a reason why we get symptoms and that they are our body's way of telling us that something isn't working or needs to change. I was also adamant that being in my early 30's I didn't want to be put on medication for the rest of my life if there was another way, which is why I am taking the natural therapies path, it seemed more sustainable long term to make the changes rather than taking medication to manage it while never really solving the issue. I understand that sometimes medication is the best and only way, and it can save lives in some situations but in my situation I couldn't justify taking medication and not addressing the reason why I was in this position. There was always a chance that it might not work out for me but my gut feeling was that this felt like my best shot and I felt I had to at least give it a go because I would rather have tried and failed knowing that I had done everything I could and taken the path I wanted to. I think in these situations we need to do what works best for us and what feels best for us as individuals.
So I had reached my first goal of figuring out what was going on with me after feeling like I had lost a couple of years of my life feeling chronically unwell. Now the next goal was to find out just how I got there and the advice that I was given is that the road in is usually the road out. In my last blog I spoke about my experiences in 2013, tracking back to how I felt I got to this point. It was the year I first started running a lot, I was in a very stressful work situation where I felt trapped which ripped away so much of my self-confidence and my emotional health. Back then running was one of my major coping mechanisms, a way to get away from it all and I was running too hard too often. I was so overcommitted in all aspects of my life, always rushing around and trying to pack way too much in each and every day. Back then my body was in a constant state of stress and I didn't even know it… until all of a sudden I came crashing down, things that used to be easy became really hard and for so long I had no idea and no answers as to why I felt like that and even though I kept seeing doctors they had no answers either. I can remember at the time when I was constantly in a state of rush the feeling of adrenaline rushing through my body, I thrived off it… rushing from task to task and I remember how good it felt for a while until my body got to a point where it could no longer keep up with this and started to fail me. My perception of stress has changed so much since then, I had no idea that all of this constant rushing around was so stressful for my body.
I have had to make some big lifestyle changes particularly since the start of this year and while at times it has felt like there was no progress or very slow progress I can finally say that I am starting to see some big changes! I am fortunate to have a great team on board including a Clinical Nutritionist who specialises in women's health, thyroid and hormones, a Naturopath, a supportive husband and family and a few great friends who have been there for me. My program has consisted of eating a nutrient dense wholefood diet where I have had to figure out what foods were further triggering my symptoms and then remove them from my diet, for me these foods were gluten, dairy, eggs and all grains. This was a challenge at first (especially eggs!) considering they are all such common foods but after removing them and noticing how much better I felt and watching many of my symptoms disappear it has all been worth it and it has allowed me to get creative with preparing nutritious food. I have also used nutritional supplements as directed by my nutritionist focussed around supporting my thyroid, hormones and digestion. I have had a 10 month break from running and cardio based activities as well while I have worked on building up my health again, I have really enjoyed Body Balance classes during this time as well as some weights and walking my dog. I was told that exercise is very important for my recovery but I was told not to overdo it as it would be further detrimental to my health at this point. I had my first run a couple of weeks ago, I ran a slow jog with my 5 year old son Beau at Parkrun and it felt great to be running. In terms of lifestyle changes, I have had to learn to say no more often, for the first 6 months of this year I had to put off further building my Graphic Design business for awhile while I focussed on my health and I have had to take more time out for myself to relax and find other activities that I love that are a bit more relaxing than running. I have basically had to put myself first more often and not feel guilty for doing so. I don't regret a thing, I have plenty of years ahead of me to focus on other things and right now there has been a big focus on myself and my family and the things that are truly important to me. Sometimes it takes a health crisis for us to put in perspective our priorities, It has changed a lot for me and in many ways I feel blessed to have had this wake-up call.
The last month has seen a huge set of improvements in my symptoms, they are not all completely gone but I can honestly say that I am starting to feel great, in fact better than I have in years. I can see my vitality creeping back in, my energy has increased, I am no longer getting bloated, I am feeling stronger and have started to feel much better about myself too… I am starting to get all of those things back that I missed so much and I am feeling much happier than I have been for a long time! I feel like an improved version of the "old me" is returning. There were definitely some dark times in the last few years but I am so happy to say that I think I am finally coming out the other side and that all of the effort and sacrifice has been worth it… I am proud that I have been able to get myself out of that. I haven't done any testing lately so it will be interesting to see the improvements in my next round of testing… In saying that, this journey has been all about feeling good again and while testing is important I try not to get too caught up in the numbers, how I am actually feeling speaks volumes and if I am feeling good and functioning at a reasonable level then I am achieving my goals.
A lot of people have asked me why I have been so open about my experience and the truth is I have found it has helped, it has helped other people support me and I have been contacted by so many people who are in a similar position to me and it has allowed me to connect with others… knowing you are not alone and being able to share experiences certainly helps. I am not ashamed in any way and am happy to have been able to reach out to others through sharing, I think it's ok to be able to share real things and not just the highlight reels of our lives because lets face it everyone has their own struggles and vulnerabilities… we are all human.
I am not going to be rushing out and starting running again just yet (apart from running with my kids at Parkrun, which I am really enjoying), the advice that I have been given is that I need to be very careful when I start feeling good not to go out and overdo it too quickly as I could quite quickly end up back to square one, I need more time to repair my body before slowly easing back into things and then taking a more balanced approach to my running. In the last month when I have been walking and in Body Balance classes I have started to feel so much stronger and have noticed changes in my body. For so long when I was walking I felt so sluggish that I couldn't even possibly imagine being able to take a single step running, I honestly thought that there was a possibility that I may never run again… Now when I walk I feel like running is possible, I feel like I actually want to run for a bit and that is a massive step forward for me and I know that when the time is right I will be able to run properly again. I have made a lot of progress in getting my heart rate down while walking after it being dangerously high for so long for the type of exercise I was doing but it is still way too high while I am running even at a very slow pace during a walk/run so I have a little progress to make there before I am allowed to run properly. Again I am not focussing too much on the numbers here, I only test my heart rate every now and then as a guide to gauge progress but its not the only factor that I am looking at, how I am feeling during exercise is the most important thing for me. Its just a matter of keeping on being patient, progress is progress and there has been a lot of that lately which is very promising.
This situation has taught me so much about my body and not to take it for granted, health is the most important thing you can have as its really hard to enjoy anything else without it. Now when symptoms appear I can pretty much pinpoint why and it's usually because I have done too much (it can be a hard habit to break!) but I am learning how to manage it before it accumulates and becomes a problem again. I have learned to take more time to stop and enjoy the moment and to focus on what is important and let go of what's not. I have also learned that anything is possible if you want it enough no matter how many setbacks you have or how long it takes, you just have to be patient and pick yourself up and keep going. It's being consistent with the little things each and every day that count, because all of those little 1%er's start to add up day after day, week after week and month after month and all of a sudden it just gets easier : )

If you took two songs, by two different performers, and combined the titles, what new and interesting song title could you make for a duet with those two performers?
For example: Amy Grant's "It These Walls Could Speak" and Sheena Easton's "Sugar Walls" would combine to make "If These Sugar Walls Could Speak"

Why not make 2015 the year you finally take control of your investments? It's not as hard as you might think. The market is less complicated than it's made out to be in mainstream financial media. It's a set of fluctuating prices that can be monitored for when they rise above a level indicating a time to sell, or fall below a level indicating a time to buy. That's all it is, and opinions count for nothing in this construct where numbers and math can do the job. The showmen won't tell you that, though. They prefer bloviating about where they think the market will go next, and they're wrong half the time. They won't tell you that last part, either.
On February 24, my new book, The 3% Signal, will be published. It shows why the usual methods of investing fail most people over time because they're based on the false premise that it's possible to time the market through forecasting. Then, it introduces a better way. Not just a better way, but the stock market's new best practice: the 3% signal, or 3Sig to those already familiar with it. The former best practice was dollar-cost averaging, which is just sending more money to an investment on a regular basis regardless of market activity. The signal system is better because it reacts intelligently to where prices have gone, guiding the investor to add more capital when prices are weak and to harvest profits when prices are strong. This requires no predictive forecasting, only a proper response to prices that have already appeared.
The book presents in exacting detail how to put the plan to work in your investment accounts, including a 401(k) or other retirement account. The days of stress-free pensions are long gone. Everybody has been thrown into the market to sink or swim on their own in various forms of defined-contribution plans, whether they have an interest in investing or not. In this free-for-all, 3Sig is the ally everybody needs. It's easy even for people who would rather not invest but are forced to do so in order to retire one day or send a child to college, but sophisticated and effective enough for even seasoned market participants to appreciate its results. Market veterans are the first to nod when reading the plan's particulars, because they've learned the hard way that popular techniques don't work and can see that 3Sig's systematic nudging of performance beyond the market's is all the edge anybody needs.
For a sneak preview of the plan's basics, see "Value Averaging for Steady Growth" on page 119 of the 2013 edition of The Neatest Little Guide to Stock Market Investing. The section has been in my book for several editions now, but not with enough detail behind the superb 3Sig method to give readers the confidence to begin. You and others need to be convinced before abandoning mainstream financial media banter in favor of a methodical formula that needs prices fed to it only four times per year, not conjecture by zero-validity pundits sporting 50 percent mistake rates. On February 24, my new book devoted solely to this technique will do the convincing and give you the confidence to make the switch.
You read that part about feeding the plan prices just four times per year right. If you join the rest of us running 3Sig, you'll beat the market and almost all pros (because the vast majority of them loses to the market, despite their projected confidence on TV, etc.) while checking in on your investments just four times per year. A 15-minute calculation at the beginning of each quarter is all it takes. I know, you think this is too good to be true, but read the book and you'll see the history behind the method, its track record, and how easy it is to implement. You'll wonder why it's remained secret for so long — until you grasp that Wall Street is worried sick that it will catch on, thereby reducing trading profits and expensive research fees. Big firms don't want clients to know that fees paid to them are money wasted. The 3Sig plan uses super-cheap index funds and low-frequency trading to keep costs minimal, and it still beats the blatherers. Watch for Wall Street's coordinated attack on the book when it hits shelves in February, and watch famous pundits decline my challenge to compete head-to-head with the plan.
Enough background. You're probably looking to get your retirement account and other stock accounts on a firmer footing this year, so let me offer a little brass tacks advice to help you get onto 3Sig and leave the noisy, ineffective frenzy of Wall Street in the dust.
First, start backing out of your current portfolio holdings. All of the stock ideas-of-the-day you've picked up over the years, all of the one-time all-star mutual funds that fizzled out, all of the detritus that accumulates in the portfolios of people who tune into mainstream financial media needs to go. If this happens in a retirement account, you can sell it all and sit in cash until the end of February without any tax consequences. In a regular brokerage account, you'll need to report capital gains and losses in your 2015 tax return next year. Even so, you need to back out of all this investment garbage in order to make a clean break from mainstream folly and a fresh start with 3Sig, which will minimize future tax consequences while boosting overall profits. You may want to double-check the impact of selling capital gains in your regular brokerage account before proceeding, but will probably find that it's going to be worth it over the long-term of 3Sig success in your future.
Put the cash in the cheapest medium-term or general market bond index fund in your account for a couple of months. No kidding, ignore all the new-year stock and fund ideas in the press and just put the cash in bonds. Go skiing or something to bide your time. There is no rush to jump on any pundit's hot tip du jour. You're done with that discredited approach. Such random ideas come in a never-ending stream and half of them crash and burn anyway, so just reject the whole sham out of hand while you wait to begin 3Sig. Keep your regular contributions going to the bond fund in the account, but don't take any action.
While you're waiting, pre-order The 3% Signal so it will be delivered to you exactly on February 24, its publication date. Read it right away and you'll be ready to participate in the live Twitter Q&A session I'll be hosting on Tuesday, March 3 at 7pm EST. This gives you a week to read the book and prepare a list of questions. I'll summarize the session afterwards in an article at jasonkelly.com as well.
Finally, take what you learned in the book and the Q&A session to get going. It's easy to do, requiring only the cheapest small-cap index fund and bond fund available in your account, and knowledge of how the system moves capital into and out of the stock market based on price fluctuation: no commentary required, just the unvarnished clarity of prices alone. Let the herd tune into the false promise of "what's hot now" and other distractions. You'll just glance at prices once per quarter and run 3Sig to beat all the so-called pros.
I wish you a happy new year! With this plan on your side, life will be different on the investing front, which I believe will also improve other aspects of your life as you leave behind low performance and high stress in favor of high performance and low stress. You'll be amazed at how much of your mind and time 3Sig frees up, enabling you to focus your talents on the parts of life where intuition and skill make a difference. In the zero-validity environment of the stock market, they don't. If you doubt this, read the book.
Look insideThe Kelly Letter
Looking forward to your new book on Feb. 24. Trying to get more knowledge on value stocks how and when to buy and when to sell.
As a retired person, it's hard to know when to sell value stock with "good" dividends unless you need losses.
Happy New Year! Hope it goes well.
Wells Wagner
Thank you, Wells. I do, too. The beauty of the signal system is that it tells you whether to buy, and how much, every quarter based only on the dispassionate 3% quarterly growth rate. This takes away all the indecision and stress of listening to forecasters and poring through our own research. As the market gets more and more efficient, human intuition and ideas count for much less. Let math do the job!
Please read the book and get your questions ready for the Q&A session.
Obviously I do not know the all details of the 3Sig system, however I have contemplated something I think may be very similar. My question is…Do you believe the system will work when there is not NEW capital to invest? I am retired and the only income I have is from Social Security and income generated by my portfolio.
Yes, Arthur, the system does work even without new capital coming in on a regular basis. In fact, I run a version of it without new capital in my newsletter, the Tier 1 section of the portfolio. All investment plans work better when a stream of new cash adds buying power, but in retirement and when such a stream is not available before retirement, plenty of plans can keep going just fine without fresh cash. 3Sig is one of them. It moves capital between the stock and bond side of its portfolio based only on price movement, automating the goal of buying low and selling high. So, you're in good hands!
Hi Jason,
Like your value averaging approach and have already ordered the book. I suppose that things have always been messed up, but doesn't it seem that the current scale of overleveraging and massive derivative gambling has never been seen before? Does your plan need some kind of failsafe in case we go down and stay down for a long time. I'm 74 and fear I could be pouring my savings down a rat hole. Time is not on my side.
I enjoy your comments and also have your other book. ( 2010) edition. Currently, I use long term timing systems composed of moving averages of price and volume. They do cut down the drawdowns and give a moderate return. However, they are hard to follow because sometimes we think we know better. Usually, I didn't.
Best Regards,
Tom Swiatek
You're not alone in discovering that you usually didn't know better, Tom. Even pros are wrong half the time, remember. You're also right to notice that there are so many factors at work in the market these days that human intuition isn't worth a darn anymore. Nobody knows anything! Therefore, let a rational formula make the calls. It beats the market and the pros, and all of our own gut instincts. The media is no help, what with its focus on shrill reporting to goose interest. Tuning out is the new best way to stay informed!
There's no "failsafe" in the plan other than limiting its additional investment amounts on the way down, which happens naturally because the market rarely just plunges through all buying power in a single quarter. It's possible, but hasn't happened yet. The worst-case scenario with 3Sig is that the investor runs out of all buying power and then just holds when the plan says to buy more shares. This isn't so bad, really, because even in such moments the signal can provide confidence. It reminds us that the market has been here before, the commentators were just as panicked in the past as they are now, and eventually things get better. Those who puke at the bottom, lose. Those who stay put eventually recoup what they lost. Running out of buying power is rare, but can happen, and when it does the plan just treads water until a sell signal is generated. No big deal.
I was just trying to decide whether to hire an investment manager, but now I think I'll wait to read your book first (just pre-ordered it).
But it's a bit laughable, don't you think, to claim that "Wall Street is worried sick" about your "secret," and will launch a "coordinated attack on the book"? Does "Wall Street" even know who you are? You should spare your readers that kind of marketing hyperbole, which is better suited to weight-loss cures and the like ("doctors are worried sick you'll discover this weight loss secret," etc.).
Thank you for ordering, Michael. You'll be happy you chose to take this route rather than hiring an investment manager.
It's not laughable to say that Wall Street is worried about this idea gaining traction. The publisher and I know this for a fact because we made the rounds looking for support and couldn't find a single voice willing to back the book — not even the ones who backed my previous books. (Which reminds me: Yes, they know who I am.) It makes sense that Wall Street banks and brokers would despise a plan that puts all investors in the cheapest index funds available and recommends ignoring all brokerage advice, doesn't it?
As for a coordinated attack, we'll see. Their first strategy is to ignore the idea and hope it fades away, but if enough media voices support the book then the industry may have no choice but to create a public response with spokespeople. It's already seeing a massive exodus from actively managed funds to index funds. This book will exacerbate that trend.
Hi Jason, Looking forward to yr new book. Any chance it will be released in eformat? Cheers, Toni
Yes, Toni, it will be availabe as an e-book. However, I strongly recommend getting the printed paper edition for the charts and formatting that we all worked so hard to make beautiful. E-books cheapen the efforts of a whole team of designers and typesetters by allowing incorrect breaks, crummy chart formatting, and other quality issues to creep in. I know e-books are convenient but for all but just plain-text, printed paper books remain the highest quality availabe. Besides, the paperback of this book is only $12 (discounted from the sticker price of $16). It's worth it.
Jason, I pre-ordered a copy of your new book. I look forward to reading it.
Thank you, Tony! Yes, read it and get your questions ready for the Q&A.
Jason, I just pre-ordered four copies, one for me and one for each of my children (whether they want it or not).
You're my kind of guy, Richard! Thank you for this. I look forward to seeing you in the Q&A.
