She is a contributing editor to both Skeptic and Skeptical Inquirer, an advisor to the Quackwatch website, and an editor of ScienceBasedMedicine.org, where she writes an article every Tuesday. She recently published Women Aren't Supposed to Fly: The Memoirs of a Female Flight Surgeon. Her website is www.skepdoc.info.
The Mythbusters of Psychology
a book review by Dr. Harriet Hall, MD
KARL POPPER WROTE: "SCIENCE MUST BEGIN WITH MYTHS and with the criticism of myths." Popular psychology is a prolific source of myths. It has produced widely held beliefs that "everyone knows are true" but that are contradicted by psychological research. A new book does an excellent job of mythbusting: 50 Great Myths of Popular Psychology by Scott O. Lilienfeld, Steven Jay Lynn, John Ruscio, and the late, great skeptic Barry L. Beyerstein.
I read a lot of psychology and skeptical literature, and I thought I knew a lot about false beliefs in psychology, but I wasn't as savvy as I thought. Some of these myths I knew were myths, and the book reinforced my convictions with new evidence that I hadn't seen; some I had questioned and I was glad to see my skepticism vindicated; but some myths I had swallowed whole and the book's carefully presented evidence made me change my mind.
The authors start with a chapter explaining how myths and misconceptions arise.
- Word of mouth. If we hear something repeated enough times, we tend to believe it.
- Desire for easy answers and quick fixes.
- Selective perception and memory. We remember our hits and forget our misses.
- Inferring causation from correlation.
- Post hoc, ergo propter hoc reasoning.
- Exposure to a biased sample. Psychologists overestimate the difficulty of stopping smoking because they only see patients who come to them for help, not the many who stop on their own.
- Reasoning by representativeness — evaluating the similarity between two things on the basis of superficial resemblance.
- Misleading film and media portrayals.
- Exaggeration of a kernel of truth.
- Terminological confusion. Because of the etymology of the word schizophrenia, many people confuse it with multiple personality disorder.
The authors discuss our susceptibility to optical illusions and other cognitive illusions, our propensity to see patterns where they don't exist, the unreliability of intuition, and the fact that common sense frequently misleads us. They characterize science as "uncommon sense" — it requires us to set aside our common sense preconceptions when evaluating evidence. They cover 50 myths in depth, explaining their origins, why people believe them, and what the published research has to say about the claims. Everything is meticulously documented with sources listed. Here's a sample of the myths they cover:
- Criminal profiling is helpful in solving cases. In most studies, professional profilers barely do better than untrained persons. Most of what they say can be inferred from "base rate information" about criminals: guessing that a serial killer is a white male will be right more than 2/3 of the time just based on statistics.
- A large proportion of criminals successfully use the insanity defense. The insanity defense is raised in less than 1% of criminal trials and is successful only about 25% of the time.
- If you're unsure of your answer when taking a test, it's best to stick with your initial hunch. Darn! I wonder how many questions I got wrong over the years because I believed that. 60 studies have consistently shown that students are more likely to change a wrong answer to a right one than vice versa, and students who change more answers tend to get higher test scores.
- Students learn best when teaching styles are matched to their learning styles. This turns out to be an urban legend not supported by any acceptable evidence. It could backfire because students need to correct and compensate for their shortcomings, not avoid them. The authors cite a satirical story from The Onion about nasal learners demanding an odor-based curriculum.
- It's better to express anger to others than to hold it in. The evidence shows that expressing anger only reinforces it and leads to more aggression.
- Men and women communicate in completely different ways. There are differences, but they are very slight, probably not enough to be meaningful, and definitely not enough to suggest that they are from different planets as claimed in the book Men are from Mars, Women are from Venus. Women don't talk more than men: a study of college students carrying recorders showed that both sexes talked about 16,000 words a day.
- A positive attitude can stave off cancer. Not only does the evidence not support this claim, but there is evidence that women who were highly stressed were less likely to develop breast cancer. And attitudes don't prolong survival: even the most optimistic cancer patients lived no longer than the most fatalistic ones.
- Memory is like a tape recorder.
- Memories of traumatic experiences are commonly repressed.
- Subliminal advertising is effective.
- Some people are left-brained, others are right-brained.
- Playing Mozart's music to infants boosts their IQ.
- When dying, people pass through a universal series of psychological stages.
- Hypnosis is useful for retrieving memories.
- The polygraph can detect lies.
- Low self-esteem is a major cause of psychological problems.
- Only deeply depressed people commit suicide.
- Abstinence is the only realistic treatment goal for alcoholics.
- Childhood sexual abuse usually leads to adult psychopathology.
The authors also list a total of 250 other myths in a brief "Fiction/Fact" format with suggested resources for further reading. Some of these facts intrigued me. Dreams occur in non-REM sleep as well as during REM sleep. Transcendental meditation yields no greater effects than rest or relaxation alone. Most women don't have worse moods in the premenstrual period. Women are no better than men at guessing the feelings of others. Sexual content of ads may make people pay more attention, but they are less likely to remember the product's brand name. There's little or no evidence for the G-spot. Men don't think about sex every 7 seconds — somebody just made that up. Individual efforts produce better quality ideas than group brainstorming sessions.
If you read this book, you may be challenged to give up some of your cherished beliefs. Some people find it painful to admit that they were wrong. I find it one of the greatest pleasures of skeptical inquiry and science. When I change my mind about something I don't chastise myself for the original error; I congratulate myself for having learned better and for having achieved a better grasp on reality.
The proper stance of a skeptic or scientist is to defer judgment pending evidence. In practice, that isn't always possible. We can't take the time to thoroughly investigate everything we hear. It is reasonable to provisionally accept something that everyone says is true, that is compatible with common sense, that is plausible, and that is often based on some preliminary evidence. As long as we keep in mind that these claims may be based on inadequate evidence and we remain ready to change our minds when better evidence arrives.
We're all susceptible to this kind of error. The authors of this book fell for one myth themselves. In a short mention of medical myths they included this one: "eating too many carrots makes our skin turn orange." Apparently they had read it on more than one list of medical myths. I wrote the lead author to tell him this was not a myth, but a recognized condition called carotenemia. It looks just like jaundice except that the whites of the eyes are spared. I had a patient with that condition, caused by eating lots of carrots on a weight-loss diet. She had bright red hair and with her bright yellow skin she looked like something out of a comic book — sort of like an anti-Smurf. It was very impressive. As a good scientist, Dr. Lilienfeld accepted the evidence and promised to amend the statement in subsequent editions.
Apart from carrots, I found nothing to criticize in this book. The authors have done us a great service by compiling all this information in a handy, accessible form, by showing how science trumps common knowledge and common sense, and by teaching us how to question and think about what we hear. I highly recommend it.

If the authors got it wrong about carrots, I guess I ought to be sceptical of all their claims. If I knew this stuff I wouldn't need this book. Since I don't know it, how can I trust it?
Hey, nobody is perfect! I'm sure the other 49 are well-researched, well-supported and contain many eye-openers.
Based on some detailed feedback on Amazon, I believe they oversimplified hypnosis. There have been brain wave studies about hypnotic and meditative states, and they brain is indeed doing something different than "fully awake."
So maybe the other 48 are worth reading. But not at $1.50 per myth. Sheesh! I've bought some really nice books for $11 and $13 on Amazon. What is this, a college textbook?
$19.99 too much for you? Or do you only buy books that are in hard back? $.41 per myth ain't bad! Shop, Chuck!
A clarification: the mention of carrots was not one of the 50 myths. It was mentioned in passing and was not supported by references like the 50 myths were.
As for hypnosis, the myth was that it is useful for retrieving memories, and they provided convincing evidence that it is not.
I'm guessing this is based on their long-running column in Scientific American Mind, yeah?
If you want to scour back issues of that, I'm sure you can read up on most of these myths. I certainly remember reading them myself….but then again memory is not like a tape recorder.
Excellent!!! As a psychologist and skeptic with a deep interest in the destructive attributes of our intuitive and often erroneous thinking, I am excited about delving into this book. Thank you for bringing it to our attention!
.41 cents a myth???
Price for a new hard copy on Amazon is $76.45 (List Price: $89.95) – too rich for me!
(I couldn't find it anywhere for $19.99!)
Excellent read! They definitely go after Sigmund Freud and his failed theories.
What I find amusing (and distressing to say the least) that as a forensic psychology student… a great majority of those bullet points are not anything close to what I've learned in my years of study. So what concerns me is are the "myths" they are demystifying twenty years old?? E.G. we are taught as psychologists and in our law classes that the "Insanity defense" does NOT work in the vast majority of cases. I've never!! heard the statement only depressed people commit suicide. "A positive answer can stave off Cancer" never uttered once in my years as a student. I'm proud to say that "at least" my schools (John Jay in New York) curriculum is as science based as it can be and I'm truly concerned about what this book will posit that passes as psychology education.
These are myths propagated in pop psychology, not in curricula.
>>>"these are myths propagated in pop psychology, not in curricula."
except when they are propagated in curricula. learning styles. yes, no less than in my Masters of Science program.
Not to point to google as a reliable source, but when at one point I too thought that the skin turning yellow from carrots was a myth, it took all of 5 minutes to verify that it was in fact likely to be true.
Google shopping gives a listing of stores that sell the book starting at $22. But I'm barely past being a poor student, so I'll likely stick to other sources of myth busting :)
These myths sometimes are presented in curricula, too, though perhaps not in psychology classes. The learning styles myth was very popular in my education courses when I was in college in 2001. Hopefully they've excised that bit. One of my education teachers insisted that autism was caused by lack of parental affection. It's a sad world out there that myths so old and wrong are still being perpetuated.
My readings support the attitude/cancer survival comment, but I also have excellent work (eg by Becca Levy) which seems to show those with a positive attitude to ageing (as defined in her paper) live significantly longer than those who don't have a positive attitude. Of course it may not be cause/effect but I wonder about generalising from the cancer situation to "survival" in general which you seem to be suggesting.
Great review…
Just ordered from Amazon for $22.XX. Yes, look for the paperback. Same page as the hardback…..
I never was once confronted to these myths in four years of psychology. Unfortunately they are present in education faculties and the world of education in general.
I am a skeptic but if you don't notice that most, not all, women have an altered mood during a period then you must be a skeptic who lives in mamas basement or you have never dated or married.

Let's keep our parks clean! If you drop it, pick it up. Please do not drop your waste on the trail and expect someone else to pick it up. Reduce aid station waste - carry a water bottle. Thank you!
Breakout Racing is making the effort to go green to try and reduce our impact on the environment.
What we can do: Pick up waste, carry our own water/sports drink with a bottle or hydration pack, use recycled and biodegradable products, carpool, ride a bike to the event....
At the start/finish area, we want to encourage all runners to re-fill their own bottles from the water and HEED jugs. Currently, we have commercialized bottles of water for runners to take after the race, but when these run out, we will encourage re-filling our own re-usable bottles from the water jug. We will provide a recycling receptacle for plastic and aluminum cans. Most of our race sites/parks provide recycling containers as well.
Any ideas? We welcome any ideas you may have to help in our effort to become an environmentally friendly event.

Warrior Infantry Fighting Vehicle upgrade gets initial design approval
AMPTHILL – January 28, 2014 – The project to upgrade the British Army's major Infantry Fighting Vehicle (AFV has achieved its latest milestone after Lockheed Martin UK completed Preliminary Design Review (PDR) in the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme (WCSP).
The milestone represents another phase in the design and development of this Ministry of Defence programme, where Lockheed Martin UK is responsible for enhancements which will extend the vehicles' service life to beyond 2040. The programme ensures that Warrior will continue to be at the heart of the Army's combat capability, with state of the art firepower and electronics.
WCSP is also generating employment opportunities and supporting up to 600 jobs in the UK, where some 90 per cent of the work will be completed.
Lockheed Martin UK – Ampthill vice president and managing director Alan Lines said: "We have completed another significant stage in our mission to deliver the future armoured core of the British Army. This latest success reflects the dedication, commitment and resilience shown by every member of the WCSP team."
WCSP PDR was achieved following the successful completion of the System Architecture Design Review (SADR).
Completion of PDR was the result of several months of co-operative development between the MoD's Defence Equipment & Support (DE&S) Armoured Vehicle Programme, Lockheed Martin UK, and its team of high quality suppliers who together have matured the design of the vehicle and its sub-systems, its character and performance attributes.
Leading suppliers on the Warrior Capability Sustainment Programme (WCSP) Team include:- Ultra Electronics; the Defence Support Group; SCISYS; Rheinmetall Defence; Curtiss Wright; Thales UK; Moog; Meggitt; Jenoptik ESW, Elbit Systems Kinetics.

Always give generously of yourself to support your beliefs. And when you're knocked down, give more.
For a few days in a row, there have been numerous TOS violations on this case. While it may seem harmless to some, we are getting dozens of complaints from other members who want to discuss this case constructively. From now on, there will be more time outs issued to those who repeatedly choose to ignore our guidelines.
Here are just some of the problems that occur over and over:
* Baiting /Trolling / Inciting Conflict: There are times when a member violates our rules by trying to upset other members. Please use your ALERT feature when this happens and DO NOT RESPOND TO THE POSTS. When a moderator is able to deal with the problem, it takes a LOT less time when he/she doesn't have to also deal with all the responses to the offense. Plus, it makes the one who initially started the conflict keep on going.
* Inviting/Baiting: This is when someone says they have information they can't share on the forum. Then someone else asks for them to PM the information. It's like be at a party and whispering secrets to each other and is not allowed here. If you have something private to share, then send a private message and don't announce it on the public thread.
* Dreams/Visions: WS doesn't condone dreams and visions and psychic information. There are plenty of sites out there on the WWW that do, but we are not one of them. We have not found that information to be helpful in solving cases.
* Announcing alerts: Don't announce that you are alerting. Just do your part and make the alert and move on.
* Sleuthing guidelines: We don�t permit any posts discussing the sleuthing of non-players. Considering there have been no suspects or POI�s named to date, that means pretty much no one is permitted to be sleuthed, except Mickey, This is done to protect the innocent. Think about it � suppose your son (or daughter) gave your next door neighbor a ride to the grocery store, dropped them off with the understanding that they had a ride home. That neighbor disappears and is now missing. Do you want hundreds of people sleuthing your background? Knowing where you live, work, your kid�s names, ages, where they go to school? Would you like every skeleton in your closet to be shaken and posted on a public forum for the world to see? It is not right and not fair to innocent people. Most of these people are only a friend or acquaintance by sheer circumstance. They do not deserve the public scrutiny. It is completely understandable for Law Enforcement to take this approach. However, after their investigation, if they find no basis for suspicion and clear these people, they don�t make their records public either. Simply put, it just ain�t cool to do and we don�t do it here at Websleuths.
* Sleuthing other members: It doesn't matter what they are doing here, we do NOT sleuth other members. Anonymity is taken very seriously on Websleuths. If this continues, a member could lose their posting privileges permanently
* Derogatory Name Changes to Case Players/General Name Calling: is not allowed here.
* �Off-Topic� Posts: Off-Topic posts are subject to editing or removal at administrative discretion, and without notification. Members that continuously post off topic may have their posting privileges suspended. This thread is for discussion of locating Mickey Shunick.
* Verified Posters, Insiders & Locals:

We don�t verify every local who follows any case. You are welcome to post photos & maps of the area, post your knowledge about specific areas (e.g., directions, locations, weather conditions, etc..) so we can all have a better understanding. What you cannot do is post information relayed to you by another person (e.g., �I went on a volunteer search last week & another person I met told me �blah blah blah� <insert rumor of your choice> and she said she got it from a co-worker of Mickey�s sister. That is RUMOR and we do not participate in any rumor chasing events here.
An insider is usually someone with direct knowledge. Often a family member or a close friend. Those we do verify. Keep in mind no one is obligated to become verified; we completely respect and understand those who choose not to do so. All we ask is that you not post inside information claiming it as fact.
That all said, we are very careful when verifying members. However, we cannot endorse the content of their posts nor assert as to the truth of what is being stated. It is up to the reader to decide that for themselves. We�re simply letting you know that an Administrator or Owner has spoken with this person, gathered data to investigate that they are who they say they are. We do this to protect the integrity of the information posted here.

I am narrowing my opinion that it is someone local, likely drunk, on their normal drive home after leaving a bar. For whatever reason, likely the alcohol, they accidentally hit her and flipped out. Maybe they have prior DUI convictions, maybe a family...maybe just selfish. But they knew if they reported it they would end up going to prison so they made a terrible decision by taking her and the bike.
Once they had her in the car it was too late to change their mind even if they wanted to. They likely disposed of the bike conveniently...maybe somewhere they have been before so that they wouldn't seem out of place. It's difficult to imagine someone random would go the extra step to end a life but they may have been desperate to not get caught and not at full capacity.
If it were an accident then I would expect there to be some damage based on the fact that the back rim was damaged enough to cause the tire to dislodge. It takes a good hit to bend a rim. It could be as minor as some scratches on the bumber to having the windshield shattered. There likely wasn't much of a crime scene. We know that she had a leather backpack/purse and based on the daytime pic of her, rode with it strapped across her body. When I ride my bike, I don't have anything in my hands...nothing. So the perp would have grabbed a petite person and a bike. You can do that within a minute or two.
People abduct women for sexual reasons usually. It seems difficult to imagine that someone would hit her bike to the extent that she is seriously injured just so they could assault her. She is so small, alone on a bike at 2am...there would be no reason to feel the need to injure her. Even the worst sicko's likely don't want to assault someone that is bleeding. That is just more evidence for LE to find in their vehicle.
I have faith in LE and have a strong suspiscion that they have identified the truck whether or not they were a witness or a suspect. If not then it should happen soon enough. The passenger rear window has some type of sun shade or something else that someone out there is familiar with. Someone out there saw this truck and knew immediately who it belonged to. They could be silent because they are close to an arrest and don't want to jeopardize the investigation. The PI is smart enough to keep that quiet.
If i were the suspect, I would act completely normal. If the damage was noticeable I would fix it myself by stealing the parts so that they couldn't be tracked. I would clean it in some sort of high powered way so that chemicals wouldn't be necessary. I would act oblivious to all of the news reports and if LE or a PI asked, I would admit being in the area because if I weren't guilty then I would have no reason to lie.

I realized yesterday that I had assumed MS & BW went to Taco Bell on Johnston & St. Mary by campus but they did not.
Anyone sitting or standing on Congress St near St Antoine could have seen them bike back to Ryan St, leave in the car for TB on Congress, return and see Mickey leave alone on her bike.

I thought this as well. Hey isnt the one by Campus closer? Why go all the way down to Congress? Am I wrong?

I guess they wanted to avoid the after bar crowd. When I was in my twenties, I remember that location being open at 2am and you did NOT have to use drive thru, you could go inside. Did this change? I am referring to the location on Campus.

I am curious why people are suddenly wondering if she took off on her own. I do not understand how that would have worked. She was out at 2 am, with no money, all alone.
How exactly did she run off? And who drove her to Whisky Bay to dump off her beloved bicycle?
And she planned this, why?�Every day that they don�t find something is good for me.� Billie Dunn
While I respect the opinions of all my fellow sleuthers, I wholeheartedly disagree that it's a viable scenario to consider regarding her voluntarily leaving. There is unequivocally no piece of evidence that supports that theory: Rather, there is a slew of facts stating the precise opposite. MOO and all that.

We've been through the possible connections between some of the missing women over and over again...
Not saying people shouldn't bring it up again if they have a valid point to make, but so far, there is nothing to suggest that any of the cases are connected, IMO.
Lauren-out with males friends all night, likely intoxicated, and they all got lawyers at once
Holly-left her yard in the company of a man who she spoke with for 10-15 first, early in the morning, witnessed by her brother, did not seem to be fighting him
Katelyn-likely lured from her home after midnight, most likely by someone she knew, or why else would she leave her apartment, not take her keys, phone, etc...
Brittney W.- Seems to be a lot going on down there in this case...uncle's suicide, rumors she may be out there somewhere...etc...
Paige-Was last in the company of a man who is currently in jail and refusing to talk about her
Not sure who else is being suggested...but one thing I do feel fairly sure of is that Mickey was taken, or left with, someone local to Lafayette or a nearby area (rather than the roaming SK or an out-out-town fair worker) due to the locale of her bike. That says local more than anything to me.
JMOJust my opinion, of course.

It would not be unusual for a predator/sk, to discard evidence or other personal items, including the victim's remains, miles away from the crime scene. In fact, it is expected of a professional predator.

Black Friday Shopping Strategies by Linda So
Get ready for some hot sales, Black Friday is just around the corner. Many retailers will be offering door buster deals to kick off the holiday shopping season. Black Friday shopping can get pretty insane with the crowds and long lines. But with a little wisdom and some patience, you can score big on major markdowns. The manager at the Target in Towson says Black Friday means great bargains on some big ticket items.
Judy Colbert is writing a book on smart shopping in Baltimore and DC. She says having a strategy on Black Friday can help shoppers fill up their carts with great deals. Colbert says, "They need to prioritize. What is on their list. Do they want to get the big TV screen or do they want a pair of socks." Colbert says Black Friday is becoming Grey Thursday with many retailers opening earlier, some even at midnight.
If you plan to head out on the big shopping day, be sure to do your research ahead of time. Go online and check these websites… pricegrabber.com, mybargainbuddy.com, and dealnews.com. They list Black Friday deals, some even have coupons. Also, look through this week's fliers and clip coupons. And take those fliers with you on Black Friday. Many retailers will match a competitor's price if you show them the ad.
And we all know its nearly impossible to find that perfect parking spot on Black Friday. So save yourself the stress. Just park in the back and walk. Think of it as exercise. And don't forget to dress comfortably. Colbert says, "This is not the time to go out in the 4 inch spikes and dress up." Leave your coat in the car and your kids at home. It's better to let them run loose at home, not at the mall when you're trying to ring up the best deal.
And when it's time to shop, have a size chart ready. That way you'll know what size uncle Bobby wears. And to prevent theft, avoid leaving your shopping bags out in the open in your car. Remember to lock them in the trunk.

JOIN THE MOVEMENT To Get Justice for the Survivors
It was the worst race riot in the history of the United States; however, most people have never heard of it. Tulsa, Oklahoma, 1921, in less than 24 hours the prosperous African-American section of Greenwood, also known as "Black Wall Street," was completely destroyed. An estimated 300 were killed and over 10,000 people displaced, as a 42 square block area of their homes and businesses were burned to the ground by a white mob that had been deputized by the sheriff.
This documentary is the story of the survivors of the 1921 Tulsa Race Riot and their quest for justice. There are only 45 survivors still alive today.
This is a story about the struggle for the soul of America and efforts to right a wrong that is long past due.

← TrueTyme with MoodTyme for your inner child and the rest of you. Use it whenever you feel it's time to be more in touch inside and out with both Nature AND your deepest self.By Yale | Published December 16, 2012 | Full size is 512 × 384 pixels permalink.
While TrueTyme can be useful to folks recovering in Intensive Care Units, or even in solitary confinement in prisons, our typical user is someone who works in a windowless job environment. Or just all day indoors. So if you do, you may want to know that working without a window nearby is now known to be a factor in all kinds of circadian rhythm problems. Things like infertility, obesity, depression. If so, try working near a window, one where you get to see the sun's journey in the sky during the day as best you can, the way farm workers do. But if you can't -- and most of us cannot, you can always consider trying out something like one of these...
1) You can seek to keep track of where you are in the day by using Time.is. It is described as the world's most accurate web-based digital clock. Of course, sooner or later you still might suffer, but at least you will always be exactly on time.
2) You can use a very lovely wall clock called The Present, which does NOT show you where you are in the day NOR the night, NOR even where you are in the week NOR the month. But it does show you where you are in the year. So you still might not avoid one or more circadian rhythm-related problems, but at least you can show your colleagues a unique calendar elegantly described and marketed as a clock, one that is much endorsed by MOMA.
3) You can try TrueTyme for a while.
TT's potential benefits beyond enhanced feelings of well-being are not yet scientifically proven, but those are intriguing possibilities. One day if there is enough of a push from sufferers of circadian rhythm related ills, perhaps chronobiology scientists will do true time research. For now though, some TT users here and there are giving us details of their own color-coded MoodTyme mood journaling & analysis results and/or other other feedback. E.g., here is what avant garde artist and TrueTyme power-user, Alison Pilorz, told us about her own experiences using several of TrueTyme's features...
You can jump into a purchase of TrueTyme Full Features Forever here. But to better orient yourself so you can get more from its true time displays of sun and moon time, and other features like circadian and circalunar meditation, plus MoodTyme tracking and analysis of your moods, etc., we suggest you first take advantage of our free one week trial -- at the end of which you get to freely keep 1st level features.
Furthermore, if you prefer to know more details about TT before living with true time for a week, here from the Better Tymes Project, developer of TrueTyme, is a TTymely FAQ about our "moving forwards by moving back in time" smart clock app for Android phones, tablets and smartwatches. (And, hopefully one day soon, also for Apple and WEAR platforms -- as soon as we can find the right volunteers.)

From Joe Kim, Children's Rights Advocate, United Methodist General Board of Church & Society (http://www.umc-gbcs.org):
Over the summer, I had the opportunity to read and re-read the "2011 Trafficking in Persons Report" (http://www.state.gov/g/tip/rls/tiprpt/2011/) recently released by the U.S. Dept. of State's Office to Monitor & Combat Trafficking in Persons.
I invite you to reflect with me about the following two stories:
Samantha was born in Feira de Santana in Brazil. She grew up in poverty and with little education. At 15, she ran away from home to live on the streets after being sexually and physically abused by her father.
A woman she met offered Samantha a job as a maid in another city in the state. Samantha accepted, excited by the opportunity to both earn money and move further away from home. But the destination house turned out to be a brothel. Samantha was forced into prostitution and drug abuse. She was stripped of freedom and overcome by fear and sadness.
After cycling through various assistance programs, government agencies, and shelters, Samantha went back to Feira de Santana, where she lives with a partner and his brother and sister. Her partner beats her, and she still occasionally has sex with men for money.
Ravi was among hundreds of workers lured to the United States from India by an oil rig construction company operating in the Gulf Coast. Lacking skilled welders and pipefitters to help rebuild after Hurricane Katrina struck in 2005, the company brought Ravi and others from India on H-2B visas, promising them permanent visas and residency. But, the promises were false.
Instead, Ravi was forced to live with 23 other men in a small room with no privacy and two toilets. The camp was lined with barbed wire and security guards, so no one on the outside knew Ravi's whereabouts. The company charged so much for food and a bunk bed that Ravi was unable to send any money home or repay what he borrowed for his travel expenses to the United States.
When the workers began organizing to protest their working conditions, the company began arbitrary firings and private deportations of the protest leaders. Those who remained filed a class action lawsuit and applied for immigration services.
Sadly, these stories are not uncommon. The reality is that modern-day slavery, or human trafficking, is a reality for an estimated 27 million people, rather than an isolated few. It comes in many different forms. These include: forced labor, sex trafficking, bonded labor, debt bondage among migrant laborers, involuntary domestic servitude, forced child labor, child soldiers, and child sex trafficking.
While we are far from ensuring a just and safe world for all, the United States has taken this issue seriously and has had legislation for the past 10 years to combat human trafficking. In 2000, Congress passed the Trafficking Victims Protection Act (TVPA; http://www.state.gov/g/tip/laws/), which was later signed into law.
This groundbreaking legislation strengthened the United States' efforts to protect victims, expanded law enforcement's capacity to prosecute traffickers, and enhanced prevention measures. Since then, Congress has reauthorized the bill three times: 2003, 2005 and 2008. This year, Congress must reauthorize it once again to extend the TVPA for three more years.
Already, there is movement in both the Senate and in the House of Representatives to reauthorize the TVPA. In the Senate, the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (TVPRA) was introduced on June 29 by Sens. Patrick Leahy, D-Vt.; Scott Brown, R-Mass.; John Kerry, D- Mass.; Barbara Boxer, D-Calif.; Benjamin Cardin, D-Md.; and Ron Wyden, D-Ore. In the House, the TVPRA was introduced on August 30 by Reps. Chris Smith, R-N.J., and Howard Berman, D-Calif.
Now, it's up to us! I hope you will take time to contact your members of Congress, both in the Senate and in the House of Representatives. Encourage them to support the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act.

NEW MARKET, Tenn. (WVLT)-- After two years of service, former U.S. Marine Chris Bright continues to serve his community.
He opened his own business to do what he does best.
"I was sitting back looking at my life jumping from job to job and I had enough. I decided to do what I love and that's what I followed," Bright said.
He pursued his love for wild life animals and opened S & C Critter Gitter.
He traps and relocates any animals invading people's homes and properties. He catches everything from skunks, raccoons, possums and snakes.
"The worst snake job... I went into a crawl space and pulled out 32 snakes," he said.
Bright told Local 8 News most of his calls are about skunks.
While he loves dealing with animals, he said it's rewarding to help people get rid of the pesky critters that could potentially be dangerous.
"They carry multiple diseases. You don't have to come in contact with the animal to contract a disease," Bright said. "Along with that they can come up into your attic tear up things, chew on your wires."
He said it feels good to be working a job he enjoys.
You can contact S &C Critter Gitter: (865) 313-5293

London Opportunity – Photo Sunday
- As I mentioned earlier this week, I whisked through London to record Hugh Dancy for my film, POE. The recording took only a couple of hours on Tuesday. That meant I had Monday, half of Tuesday, and most of Wednesday to waste time – anxious to get back.
It also meant I did an enormous amount of walking and riding the Underground. I wasn't really in the mood for touristy things, but I got caught up in it on the last day. I had to check out of my hotel at 10am, and wasn't taking off until 6pm. So I wandered.
I went to the National Gallery of Art, searching for something to excite me.
Daumier's DON QUIXOTE, of course, did the job.
Leaving the museum, I stepped into Trafalgar Square, and decided to go to the Tate. Hugh Dancy had told me there was an excellent exhibition of photos there, so I aimed for it.
This meant I got to see the changing of the guard as I went pass at noon..
Big Ben sat in the distance so I headed for Westminster, figuring if I walked past it, I could easily aim for the Tate.
As with every other trip I'd made to London, it was all about the weather. You start out on a beautiful day, and the clouds move up around you as the sky darkens. It begins to rain, and then the sun is beating down on you. The only more changeable environment I've exper- ienced was in Adak, Alaska. Actually, I'm not sure the weather was much different at all.
I finally did get past all of these crowded tourist sites as I got to the Tate Museum. (Not the Tate Modern.) I never did see the show of photos that Mr. Dancy had recommended. There was a show of Turner watercolors as presented by David Hockney. It was a stunning show, and it was all I needed for the day. I didn't love the book/catalogue they had for sale, so left with only memories. Turner is enough of an inspiration for anyone. Certainly, enough for my trip.
A fruitful trip, indeed.______

It looks like you enjoyed your stay in London – I've just returned from there myself last week.
Did you notice the unusual statue of a nude pregnant armless woman in Trafalgar Square? You've caught it in the far right of your photo of the square. There's more about it here > http://www.bbc.co.uk/ouch/news/btn/lapper/
Concerning Turner – There's an excellent series on PBS, "Simon Schama's Power of Art", that will focus on him tomorrow, Monday July 23 at 10pm. Here's the link> http://www.pbs.org/wnet/powerofart/
I've recently lived in London where they have a very large and creative animation community, second only to LA it seems.

December 2009 Reports finding from a study showing that access to antiretroviral therapies, HAART in particular, can improve the health of HIV-infected patients who have a history of injection drug use.
October 2006 Presents findings from a clinical trial comparing ultrarapid, anesthesia-assisted detoxification with detoxification by traditional methods among patients addicted to heroin.
April 2013 Patients were more likely to take a rapid HIV test when substance abuse treatment programs offered the test onsite rather than referred for offsite testing. Patients were equally likely to accept and learn their HIV status whether the offer of onsite testing was accompanied by 30 minutes of risk reduction counseling or by 5 minutes of brief information on the testing procedure. Onsite testing accompanied by brief information was cost effective, taking into account the projected lifetime costs of treatment and the gains in health and longevity for detected cases.
April 2010 Reports on a study of cocaine abusers revealing that the Stroop test may predict which cocaine abusers are likely to drop out of therapy.
November 2012 NIDA-supported research suggests that glucocorticoid receptor levels during early brain development affect the hard wiring of neural circuits that shape an individual's basic emotional makeup. In mice, overexpression of the glucocorticoid gene in the first weeks after birth increased anxiety and response to cocaine in adulthood. These findings may help researchers understand the genetic background and the developmental trajectory of addiction.
June 2008 Presents highlights of a meeting of scientists and clinicians to review research results from the field of social neuroscience, the study of how neurobiology and the social environment interact.
February 2013 Despite the advances in treatment and prevention, roughly 50,000 new HIV infections still occur annually in the Nation. Research, in large part supported by NIDA, has produced a strategy to address this circumstance and break the epidemiological impasse: seek out HIV-infected individuals, particularly those in "hard-to-reach" groups that have minimal contact with the health care system; offer them HIV testing and treatment; and provide support to help them stay in treatment.
November 2011 Individuals with weak signaling in a nicotine-sensitive brain circuit were more vulnerable to nicotine dependence than those with stronger signaling, according to a study conducted while the subjects' brains were in a resting state. A second resting-state study finds that the same circuit appears to mediate dependence associated with a genetic risk factor for smoking.
February 2007 Reviews a report from the National Academy of Sciences' Institute of Medicine that discusses ways to improve the quality of health care among people with mental health and substance abuse disorders.
December 2008 Highlights a computerized intervention that reduced new mothers' drug abuse in the first 4 months postpartum as reported in a clinical trial of 107 women who abused drugs.

This ideally located premier condo is competitively priced while situated in the best location of upscale Marco Island.
A tastefully furnished 1 bedroom 1 bathroom, it offers private access to the world famous sands of Marco Beach. Indulge your taste for relaxation and fun with jet ski rentals and parasailing, or simply use our comfortable beach chairs for relaxed reading in the sun. After a day of beach frolicking, enjoy the restaurants, lounges, and nightlife that are just steps away from the condo!
This units also feature a full kitchen, immaculate decorations throughout the unit, and even free high-speed wireless internet.
We live on Marco Island as our favorite second home and in Michigan as our summer home
Keith Abed purchased this condo in 2013
Peaceful, quiet, beautifully landscaped and well maintained. You can enjoy the beach or just relax around the pool or grill/barbeque your favorite meal.
We own and manage our property. We have our management office on site. We care about our guests by being there directly on site in order to serve their immediate needs, meet them, answer their questions and show them around.
We enjoyed our stay at the Beach Club! Although the furnishings were dated and the condo smelled real musty we had a great vacation - we were outside! I would suggest that management makes sure the rentals are "aired out" and AC running before new arrivals come! That being said we LOVED the beach, pool and Marco in general! Great restaurants everywhere and beautiful sunsets. The owner of the condo was very accommodating!
My husband and I had the pleasure of enjoying a beautiful week at the Beach Club (room 407) during President's Week 2014. The location directly across the street from the entrance to the beach is ideal. A key unlocks the gate to a bricked sidewalk leading to gorgeous South Beach - just 2 minutes away. Enjoy the sunsets each evening ~ have a drink/meal at Sunset Grill diagonally across the street - spectacular! We also enjoyed the well-maintained heated pool daily - it's well landscaped with lots of lounge chairs and umbrellas. Our manager, Sam, was a pleasure to deal with. He replied immediately when reserving, kept in touch, and quickly responded and corrected two minor problems in the condo. The furnishings are not exactly what's pictured; it's a little dated, but that did not stop us from thoroughly enjoying ourselves. It's a wonderful location! Rent bikes (can be delivered right to you), enjoy an evening movie within walking distance, eat in (the Marco Island farmer's market on Weds. is not to be missed) or dine at the many delicious restaurants on the island. We would go back in a minute! It was paradise!
The perfect location in the heart of famous Marco Island, right off the coast of Naples. High end luxury well priced for the savvy traveler. Unit is situated directly across the street from the beach and comes complete with private beach access. Jet ski rentals, parasailing, you name it. Did we forget to mention on-premise tennis courts and pool? Marco's famous restaurants are just down the street! This unit reserves quickly, contact for availability.
