EAST LONGMEADOW, Mass. (WWLP) – We are still dealing with single-digit overnight low temperatures, but think twice before you head out to a pond that's frozen over.
On Sunday, in Foxborough, two people had to be rescued after falling through ice. In East Longmeadow, the Department of Public Works has put up a sign, warning everyone of thin ice.
The Heritage Park Pond is still frozen over, but this time of the year, it's not a good idea to go out on any frozen bodies of water.
The state Department of Fire Services says ice never freezes or melts at a uniform rate. In one spot, it may be one foot thick, but just a few steps over it may only be one inch thick.
"They actually aren't completely frozen because it's been warming up a little bit, and then you get the freezing temperatures and everything," said Pam Minahan of East Longmeadow. "Don't let your animals out there. Definitely not your kids or anything."
If you see someone fall through ice, never go in to help. You can throw them a rope and call 911 immediately.
If you fall in, try not to panic. Place your arms on unbroken surface, and once out, do not stand up. Crawl back to safety.
Because the temperatures remain well below average, if anyone does fall through ice, one of the biggest concerns is hypothermia.
Cold water is any water below 70 degrees. You can lose body heat extremely quickly in icy water.
To prevent hypothermia, wear multiple layers of clothing, and protect your hands and ears by wearing gloves and hats.

Returning the World to God
Father Alexander Schmemann
Praise the Lord, 0 my soul. Blessed art thou, 0 Lord,
0 Lord, how marvellous are thyworks: in wisdom hast thou made them all.
The earth is lull of thy riches.
I will sing unto the Lord as long as I live;
I will praise my God, while I have any being (Ps. 104).
And it must be so. There must be someone in this world which rejected God and in this rejection, in this blasphemy, became a chaos of darkness -there must be someone to stand in its centre, and to discern, to see it again as full of divine riches, as the cup full of life andjoy, as beauty and wisdom, and to thank God for it. This "someone" is Christ, the New Adam who restores that "eucharistic life" which I, the old Adam, have rejected and lost; who makes me again what lam, and restores the world to me. And if the Church is in Christ its initial act is always the act of thanksgiving, of returning the world to God.

Editor's Note: The words "Eucharist" and "eucharistic" refer' to the Lord's Supper or Holy Communion and are used in the liturgies of the Orthodox, Catholic, Anglican and Lutheran Churches. They come from the Greek "eucharisto" which means "thank you."
The importance of biblical creation is very highly emphasized in the worship of the Orthodox Church, as is evident from the above selection. Fr. Alexander Schmemann (1921-83) was a Russian Orthodox theologian and Dean of St. Vladimir's Theological Seminary.

El Kaddouri welcomes Arsenal link
Brescia midfielder Omar El Kaddouri has welcomed reports linking him with a move to Arsenal.
Belgium-born El Kaddouri, 21, is said to be attracting attention from a number of top sides, with his agent announcing in June that the player - currently representing Morocco at the London Olympics - had decided against joining Parma after Juventus expressed an interest.
El Kaddouri has said his "advisors are looking at the available options" but it would appear he would relish a switch to North London.
Asked about the Arsenal reports, he said: "I do not know if they are interested in me, but it is flattering. I am settled in Italy to be honest, but Premier League football is appealing to any player."

Pre-lab Quiz
Successful completion of this module should enable the student:
In general, there are two distinctly different types of polymerization, addition and condensation, also called chain-growth and step-growth polymerizations respectively. Chain-growth or addition polymerization may be illustrated by the reaction of styrene with a free-radical:
Condensation or step-growth polymers are formed with the expulsion of a small molecule for each unit added to the polymer chain, and the reaction proceeds in a sequential fashion, forming dimer, trimer, etc. For a polymer such as poly(ethyleneterephthalate) this can be illustrated as follows:
A type of condensation polymerization that gives a linear polymer (or a "prepolymer" as commonly called) with reactive groups in chain ends, which may be cured to give a network polymer, is the polycondensation of epoxy polymers. The formation of an epoxy polymer may be illustrated by the reaction between 2,2-bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane (I) (Bisphenol-A) and epichlorohydrin (II) to initially form a prepolymer as follows:
This process may be repeated on either side to give a product that may be represented as:
This is the diglycidyl ether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA), where n represents the number of times the repeating unit occurs in the prepolymer. If n is 0 or 1, the product is a viscous liquid. If n is greater than 1 the product is a brittle solid. The relative amounts of the reactants determine the value of n, a large excess of epichlorohydrin favoring the formation of a liquid.
Crosslinking or curing giving a solid is illustrated with a general poly functional amine in Figure 1.
Some anhydrides such as phthalic anhydride (III) are also used for curing agents. They first react with a free hydroxyl group on the chain, freeing a carboxylic acid group to react either with another chain hydroxyl or an epoxide group.
Epoxy resins are thermosetting materials as opposed to thermoplastic materials. Thermosetting plastics are cured or "set" into a form which is retained to the plastic's decomposition temperature without melting while thermoplastics have melting or liquefying temperatures. Thermosetting plastics are also insoluble in their cured stated while thermoplastics usually have several solvents.
The commercial introduction of epoxy resins was in 1947.1 The main use of resins in 1974 was as protective coatings where they are excellent because of the highly unreactive nature of the cured product. Other used include adhesives, laminates, and casting resins. The resins show low shrinkage in their curing reactions which make them extremely valuable in space filling applications.
An epoxy resin system requires two components, a diepoxide or equivalent (epichlorohydrin is equivalent to a diepoxide since another epoxide group is formed upon destruction of the first one) and a reactive diol or polyol. Epichlorohydrin is the most readily available and cheapest diepoxide equivalent, and almost all commercial epoxy systems employ it. Bisphenol-A is also widely used since the aromatic nature enhances the hydroxyl reactivity and adds strength to the resin formed. Aliphatic triol such as glycerol (IV) have been used to give denser crosslinking.
Other polyhydroxylic compounds which find application in epoxy resin formulations are the novolaks, which are products of the reaction of phenols and formaldehyde in acid solution and may be represented by:
These materials can give epoxy resins of high strength.
The combination of the available diepoxides or equivalents and the polyhydroxy compounds gives a large number of possible epoxy pre-polymers. The number of possible resins is raised even higher by the number of possible curing agents which may be used for each of the prepolymers. Primary amines and anhydrides have been previously mentioned as curing agents, however, other types are available, and the curing may be anionic,
or by Lewis acids or secondary or tertiary amines.
The liberated alkoxide group may react with another epoxide, or abstract the active hydrogen from a reacted epoxy group, providing another anion capable of further reaction with other epoxy groups. The secondary amines undergo reactions similar to tertiary amines after preliminary reactions(similar to primary amines) which form tertiary amines. The choice of a curing agent provides for a wide range of cured resins.
The stoichiometry of the curing reaction should be controlled for optimum properties in the cured resin. The epoxy prepolymers are characterized by the epoxide content or epoxide equivalent weight, which is the weight of resin containing one mole of epoxide groups. For compound (V)
the equivalent weight is the molecular weight divided by two, the number of epoxide groups. The equivalent weight of the curing agent is the molecular weight of the agent divided by the number of sites on the molecule capable of opening epoxy rings. For primary amines this would be the molecular weight divided by the number of replaceable hydrogens. Thus one equivalent of an epoxy prepolymer is cured by one equivalent of a curing agent.
The degree of cure in a resin/curing agent system may be measured by a variety of techniques. Since a large part of the use of epoxies is in areas where their strength is desired, many of the tests such as Vicat softening point and deflection temperature measure the increase in strength of the material.2 Since the material in crosslinked and subsequently not soluble in most solvent systems, the degree of swelling in a solvent may be used to follow the degree of cure.
The following reaction to be performed in this experiment may be represented by the following:
This reaction is known as an "advancement" or upgrade" reaction and it is used commercially to convert low molecular weight liquid resin as Epon 829 into higher molecular weight prepolymers which are more suitable for use in coatings and adhesives. The product to be made in this laboratory is useful as an adhesive.
In order to determine the ratio of reactants to be used in the synthesis, it is useful to employ the Carother's equation in the form shown below.
|A=weight of resin to be advanced
|B=equivalent weight of EPON 829 resin
|C=weight of Bisphenol A
|D=equivalent weight of Bisphenol A
|E=desired equivalent weight of prepolymer
The equivalent weight of the resin used will be provided by the lab instructor and the equivalent weight of high purity Bisphenol A is taken to be one-half the molecular weight, or 114 g/mole. The student will calculate the percentage of reactants required to produce a weight per epoxide (equivalent weight) of 300 g/eg for the prepolymer.
Prepare two Erlenmeyer flasks by pipetting 20 ml of standardized HCl in pyridine (which is prepared by diluting 16 ml of concentrated HCl to one liter with pyridine) into each flask. Accurately weigh approximately 0.75 g of the solution sample saved from step 5 by difference into each flask using the Mettler balance. Weight-by-difference is accomplished by weighing the tube when full, pouring the specified amount into the flask and reweighing the tube. The difference in the two weights in the weight added to the flask.
The flasks are heated gently on a hot plate at a setting of 2 for 20 minutes. Six drops of phenolphthalein indicator are added, and the samples are titrated to a phenolphthalein endpoint with 0.1 N potassium hydroxide in methanol. Care should be taken during titration, as the solutions turn cloudy prior to the color change.
The WPE is calculated from the following formula:
This product will be tested for adhesion during the next lab period.
Four adhesion samples will be prepared in the following manner:
|In a plastic beaker, weigh 50 g of the epoxy resin sample.
|Calculate the desired amount of curing agent (CA) for the samples by using the following formula:
|grams resin
|wt per active
|WPE resin
|hydrogen in CA
|multiplier (1)
|The weight per active hydrogen in CA is determined by calculating the molecular weight and dividing by the number of active hydrogens. The ratio multiplier is the second value in the epoxy:curing agent ratio which will be assigned by the instructor.
|Weigh the CA into the plastic beaker with the epoxy and mix thoroughly. The mixture should be slightly hazy after mixing.
|Coat a substrate supplied by the instructor with the mixture such that the dry film thickness will be about 2 mils thick.
|Remove excess adhesive from the sides of the stud with a wooden applicator.
|Place the coated substrate in an oven, which has been preheated to 100oC, and cure for 1 hour.
An Instron model 1140 will be used to measure the strength of the adhesives made in this experiment. A brief discussion of the Instron is included as an appendix to this section. The steps in the test are also included in the appendix. The adhesive will be tested using the following parameters:
|Load Cell:
|500 Kg
|Chart Speed:
|20-50 cm/min
|Crosshead Speed:
|5 cm/min
|Full Scale:
|100 Kg
The test is complete when the pen returns to zero stress on the chart. Inspect the tested area and determine the type of coating failure, rating it according to the following scale:
|adhesive failure of coating at substrate
|cohesive failure in coating
|combination of A and C
|adhesive failure at stud
|combination of C and S
Calculate the tensile strength needed to cause this failure.
TENSILE STRENGTH (T.S.)=Force/Area

Hello, Oregon!
After spending the last three years in Princeton as my husband finished grad school, we are moving back to the West Coast! We came to NJ for my husband to attend Princeton Theological Seminary, and he now has his Master of Divinity degree. We've made lifelong friends and had many adventures up and down the Eastern Seaboard. It's been a season of our lives that we'll never forget.
To my lovely students, thank you for inviting me along as you journeyed into parenthood. It has been a joy to see you grow together and to watch your fear and apprehension turn to confidence and excitement for your births. And, of course, I have loved meeting your babies! To all the midwives and OBs, chiropractors, massage therapists, doulas, and lactation consultants who have been incredibly supportive, thank you so much.
I am excited to announce that I will be continuing to teach birth classes in Salem & Newberg,OR where our family moves this summer. I look forward to connecting with the birth community in Oregon and supporting moms and dads in my home state.
Posted June 2017
Class Photos
I want to extend a big THANK YOU to Dominique and Rebecca Richardson for their recent visit to my childbirth class.
I have an incredible group of students in this Birth Boot Camp series. They are committed, inquisitive, and very fun. Lots of laughs every Wednesday night! Here are some recent photos from class…
Every class (beginning in week 2) couples learn a different comfort measure that can be used in birth. The comfort measure in this class was various types of massage that are particularly helpful in labor. Having many different tools gives women options for how to best cope with the intensity of labor. And who wouldn't want to practice this?
One of the best ways for a partner to learn how to comfort and support a laboring woman is by experiencing how she likes to be touched. Dad gets a turn, too!
Students ask great questions, and classes are full of lively discussion, interactive games and insightful birth videos.
A little foam rolling demo! Every class students receive new prenatal exercises (promoting strength, flexibility and alignment) and prenatal nutrition tips, because one of the most important ways to facilitate your natural birth is by taking care of your body and staying low risk. All Birth Boot Camp exercises are professionally designed for pregnant women to prepare their bodies for labor and encourage babies into an optimal position for delivery.
If you're interested in joining us in our next Newberg birth class series, we'd love to have you! Check out my class schedule, learn more about Birth Boot Camp, read my birth story, and feel free to contact me with any questions. I also offer skype and phone follow-up for couples who take online Birth Boot Camp classes.

Hudson's Birth Story
I first thought I was pregnant with our second child while looking out over the deepest lake in the U.S., Crater Lake. It was just a suspicion, but when we got confirmation a few days later, we were thrilled. We had a delightful 20-month-old, Graham, and though I was sobered remembering how hard it can be with a newborn, I also knew how joyful it is.
With our first son, I was hoping for a natural birth, but found that when labor was upon me I wasn't quite prepared for all that labor entailed; I had certainly underestimated it! We took a hospital childbirth class before his birth that said it would cover natural birth on paper, but in reality, it was more about hospital policies and various interventions than natural birth. We learned about the stages of labor, but we didn't really learn what to do in them. I ended up having a medicated birth with numerous interventions. While Graham's birth was one of the most beautiful and transformative events of my life, I knew I wanted to try for something different the next time around. This time my husband, Jon, and I signed up for a natural childbirth series, and we loved every minute. We did our labor rehearsals at home, practiced massage for labor (not a bad perk) and read as much as we could. Even with all of the time and effort we invested, I was still nervous that I wouldn't be able to do it, especially in a hospital, where I was worried I would be tempted by the epidural again. My husband reassured me that I could, and as I leaned into his confidence in my body, commitment and strength, my own confidence began to grow.
It was a long pregnancy, between morning sickness and 8 illnesses in 9 months. I guess that's what you get when you have a toddler and work in an elementary school! By July, I was very ready to have my baby. I had been having Braxton Hicks contractions for at least a week. They were infrequent and irregular but getting slightly more intense. They always seemed to occur right when I was about to go to sleep. While they bothered me in the sense that I couldn't fall asleep quickly at night, it was nice to have an opportunity to practice my breathing, relaxation, and affirmations.
I knew that things were slowly starting three days before my due date. By bedtime, the contractions were too frequent and uncomfortable to sleep. Jon and I were up most of the night. He rubbed my back, we used a hot pack, and I was able to watch Pride and Prejudice (yes, please!), though the contractions were pretty distracting. By the morning the contractions weren't getting any longer, stronger or closer together. I had only slept a couple hours, and I was ready for active labor to begin. We took a walk, and I scheduled an induction acupuncture appointment for 11:30 a.m. During the acupuncture appointment, I could feel the contractions becoming stronger, and by the drive home, I was in active labor. We called our doula, Sarah, and our friend, Carly, and had our neighbors take our older son. Sarah did more acupressure and encouraged me to keep upright and moving since the contractions spaced out when I sat down. I used the birth ball a bit, but mostly I leaned against Jon and swayed back and forth during contractions. One thing that I appreciated about Sarah is that she helped me to celebrate the contractions getting more intense. It made the pain seem like a milestone and indication of progress, rather than something to be avoided. She would say, "That seemed like a good one," when a contraction was longer and stronger.
In between contractions, I reminded myself to stay relaxed; I was laughing and enjoying myself. I loved having Jon, Sarah, and Carly there. It put me at ease to be surrounded by encouraging people who loved me. I labored a lot in the backyard. It was a lovely July day- in the high 70s, with the birds chirping. I never got mad at anyone or resented that I was in labor. I tried to take it one contraction at a time, saying to myself over and over, "I can do this," "One at a time," "Breathe for baby," and "He'll be here soon."
In labor with my first son, I tensed up with the pain and started to panic. With this labor, I accepted the pain as normal, and even good, because it meant that labor was progressing and I was getting closer to holding my son. Usually pain is frightening for me because it is an indication that something is wrong. I'm definitely a worrier, and I learned in our natural birth classes that worry, stress and fear actually accentuate and increase your experience of pain, which can make you more worried, stressed and afraid- a vicious cycle. Labor is one of the only times where pain (or some might call it intensity or pressure) is an indication that something is going right. Up until the very end, I never felt out of control. It was certainly painful for me and I wanted it to be over soon, but I never felt like I was suffering.
By the time we left for the hospital at about 5:45, the contractions were coming right on top of each other. We got to the hospital at about 6 p.m. I was at 8 cm, and it was basically one long contraction, with little to no breaks in between, from then on. The hospital staff began to prepare the water birth tub. I continued to stand and sway with Jon while they monitored my contractions. My water broke at about 6:45 p.m. By 7 p.m. I felt the urge to push, and I made my way to the water birth tub. The water was scalding hot. The staff tried to cool it down as fast as they could, but they couldn't do it fast enough. I pushed for five desperate minutes, which was definitely the hardest part. I was leaning against my husband and standing at the edge of the tub, with my legs in the water, when Hudson Samuel was born at 7:10 p.m., two days before his due date.
The midwife caught him and held him for me to see. He opened his eyes, and mine met his. I will never forget that moment. His cord was pretty short, so I couldn't lift him to my chest until Jon cut it. I was still standing and needed to sit down because I was shaking. I walked to the bed, and they handed him to me, and I knew we belonged together. I had worried that I wouldn't love a second child as much, but I was so wrong. I loved him with all my heart, and yet my love for him did not diminish my love for Graham. My love truly multiplied, rather than divided. I thanked the Lord for this precious boy, and also for helping me make it through labor. The relief I felt at being done was euphoric- almost as pronounced as the joy I felt holding Hudson! He weighed 7lbs., 4 oz. and was 19.5 inches long. That first night he slept for several hours on my chest, and he has been my sweet, social, affectionate little guy ever since.
My birth experience continues to empower me to this day. It brought us together as a couple, not just in hours of labor, but leading up to it as we communicated about our fears, hopes and shared vision. The natural birth education we received played a huge role in equipping us for the birth we wanted. I am now a Certified Childbirth Educator with Birth Boot Camp , and I teach natural birth and breastfeeding classes in Newberg and Salem, OR and the surrounding areas of Yamhill and Washington County. My goal is to provide couples with all the tools, information and resources they need to achieve the birth they desire. It is an honor to walk with couples as they prepare for the birth of their baby and the start of life's most rewarding journey- parenthood.

I'm poor :(
I rooted to 4.0.3 even though I knew it wouldn't have the ability of overclocking.
I just realised how much better Blade was with the overclock to 710Mhz :c
1.Flash CF-Root with Odin.
2.Boot into recovery and flash the CM7 zip. Dont reboot!
3.Turn off and boot into recovery again. This time the cwm menu should be blue and not orange.
4.Flash CM7 another time.
5.Wipe data, cache and dalvik cache from the advanced tab.
Installed ICS, it's gorgeous. One question: How do I change the camera storage location to the SD card rather than the phone memory? I could do it on the Samsung camera app pretty easily but I can't find the option on the stock ICS camera.
Trying Opera mobile, brb
God fuck this phone now has 0.00B of Internal left, and I can't delete anything off of it because Manage Applications is crashing.
Fuck this shit I'm buying a new phone ASAP.
I kinda want the thread name to be changed to something longer so I can actually see it in my FPRead
Wow, I feel like the Android thread has died due to non-existant OP content...
And I think some are not going here since the last one was locked therefore it's on in their FPRead, therefore they are not lurking here right now...
Posting from my brand new Droid X2. Hell of a step up from the Optimus V.
The KXNT apps are pretty good too
Does leaving the phone on and plugged in constantly reduce it's battery life when unplugged?
Is there anything lurking in the £150-250 range that's worth considering at the moment?
The title is so true.
New Dropbox for Android beta, featuring automatic camera upload to dropbox. You can also get more space for uploading photos (up to 5GB).
Getting a new Android for April.
Which one would you guys recommend?
Galaxy S II I think is the most powerful and fully featured one at the moment

What's the best custom ROM for HTC Desire (Bravo/A8181)?
My third Bionic died last night.
Time to visit the Verizon store...
You have CyanogenMod 7, which is based on Android 2.3: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/wiki/HTC...l_Update_Guide
Then you may get Android 4.0, which is awesome, but still a tiny bit buggy: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1355660
If you like Sense, I strongly recommend Leedroid - the best Sense ROM I ever used, but a bit outdated: http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1170633
If you want MIUI, or a newer Sense version, I can't help you, sadly - you will have to find a good ROM by trial and error.
Wow, I've never been in a thread title before, especially in such a popular thread
Finally got cm7 to work, and I have to say. Although it is a bit faster, I liked touchwiz UI a whole lot better.. Also the camera app crashes when making large videos (more than 5 minutes in HD).
But the title is misleading, I'm not much of a fanboy (of anything) and I don't really moan or insult
I hate my phone sometimes.
I try to install Opera Mobile and all it does is open for a second and crash with no sign of ever running.

Media Alert
What: Press conference to announce Colorado crowdfunding legislation
Who: *Speaker Pro Tempore Dan Pabon, *Representative Pete Lee, *Majority Leader Mark Scheffel, *Senator Owen Hill, CTA Chairman Steve Foster, and Executive Director of the Blackstone Entrepreneurs Network JB Holston
When: Wednesday, February 25th at 12:30pm
Where: Industry Denver, 3001 Brighton Blvd
Details: Speaker Pro Temore Dan Pabon, Representative Pete Lee, Majority Leader Mark Scheffel and Senator Owen Hill are introducing a bill to allow crowdfunding in Colorado.
If you are familiar with Kickstarter, then you are familiar with crowdfunding. As it currently exists in most states, startups can use crowdfunding to raise capital and may offer goods or services in exchange, but cannot offer equity in the startup or other corporate securities.
In Colorado, we are working to join a small handful of states where unaccredited investors can purchase securities from businesses in relatively small dollar amounts through open exchanges. Instead of allowing only those who have tremendous liquid assets to decide which businesses are worth investing in, it allows almost anyone to help create the next great Colorado business. In order to protect consumers, the bill provides a list of requirements that may be imposed by the Colorado securities commissioner that include risk mitigating steps and market regulations.
Why this matters:
This is a new way to build business in Colorado. It puts the power of the people into business creation. It allows anyone to decide what businesses are worthy ventures, and which are not.

Raising a Moral Child
By Adam Grant APRIL 11, 2014
What does it take to be a good parent? We know some of the tricks for teaching kids to become high achievers. For example, research suggests that when parents praise effort rather than ability, children develop a stronger work ethic and become more motivated.
Yet although some parents live vicariously through their children's accomplishments, success is not the No. 1 priority for most parents. We're much more concerned about our children becoming kind, compassionate and helpful. Surveys reveal that in the United States, parents from European, Asian, Hispanic and African ethnic groups all place far greater importance on caring than achievement. These patterns hold around the world: When people in 50 countries were asked to report their guiding principles in life, the value that mattered most was not achievement, but caring.
Despite the significance that it holds in our lives, teaching children to care about others is no simple task. In an Israeli study of nearly 600 families, parents who valued kindness and compassion frequently failed to raise children who shared those values.
Are some children simply good-natured — or not? For the past decade, I've been studying the surprising success of people who frequently help others without any strings attached. As the father of two daughters and a son, I've become increasingly curious about how these generous tendencies develop.
Genetic twin studies suggest that anywhere from a quarter to more than half of our propensity to be giving and caring is inherited. That leaves a lot of room for nurture, and the evidence on how parents raise kind and compassionate children flies in the face of what many of even the most well-intentioned parents do in praising good behavior, responding to bad behavior, and communicating their values.
By age 2, children experience some moral emotions — feelings triggered by right and wrong. To reinforce caring as the right behavior, research indicates, praise is more effective than rewards. Rewards run the risk of leading children to be kind only when a carrot is offered, whereas praise communicates that sharing is intrinsically worthwhile for its own sake. But what kind of praise should we give when our children show early signs of generosity?
Many parents believe it's important to compliment the behavior, not the child — that way, the child learns to repeat the behavior. Indeed, I know one couple who are careful to say, "That was such a helpful thing to do," instead of, "You're a helpful person."
But is that the right approach? In a clever experiment, the researchers Joan E. Grusec and Erica Redler set out to investigate what happens when we commend generous behavior versus generous character. After 7- and 8-year-olds won marbles and donated some to poor children, the experimenter remarked, "Gee, you shared quite a bit."
The researchers randomly assigned the children to receive different types of praise. For some of the children, they praised the action: "It was good that you gave some of your marbles to those poor children. Yes, that was a nice and helpful thing to do." For others, they praised the character behind the action: "I guess you're the kind of person who likes to help others whenever you can. Yes, you are a very nice and helpful person."
A couple of weeks later, when faced with more opportunities to give and share, the children were much more generous after their character had been praised than after their actions had been. Praising their character helped them internalize it as part of their identities. The children learned who they were from observing their own actions: I am a helpful person. This dovetails with new research led by the psychologist Christopher J. Bryan, who finds that for moral behaviors, nouns work better than verbs. To get 3- to 6-year-olds to help with a task, rather than inviting them "to help," it was 22 to 29 percent more effective to encourage them to "be a helper." Cheating was cut in half when instead of, "Please don't cheat," participants were told, "Please don't be a cheater." When our actions become a reflection of our character we lean more heavily toward the moral and generous choices. Over time it can become part of us.
Praise appears to be particularly influential in the critical periods when children develop a stronger sense of identity. When the researchers Joan E. Grusec and Erica Redler praised the character of 5-year-olds, any benefits that may have emerged didn't have a lasting impact: They may have been too young to internalize moral character as part of a stable sense of self. And by the time children turned 10, the differences between praising character and praising actions vanished: Both were effective. Tying generosity to character appears to matter most around age 8, when children may be starting to crystallize notions of identity.
Praise in response to good behavior may be half the battle, but our responses to bad behavior have consequences, too. When children cause harm, they typically feel one of two moral emotions: shame or guilt. Despite the common belief that these emotions are interchangeable, research led by the psychologist June Price Tangney reveals that they have very different causes and consequences.
Shame is the feeling that I am a bad person, whereas guilt is the feeling that I have done a bad thing. Shame is a negative judgment about the core self, which is devastating: Shame makes children feel small and worthless, and they respond either by lashing out at the target or escaping the situation
altogether. In contrast, guilt is a negative judgment about an action, which can be repaired by good behavior. When children feel guilt, they tend to experience remorse and regret, empathize with the person they have harmed, and aim to make it right.
In one study spearheaded by the psychologist Karen Caplovitz Barrett, parents rated their toddlers' tendencies to experience shame and guilt at home. The toddlers received a rag doll, and the leg fell off while they were playing with it alone. The shame-prone toddlers avoided the researcher and did not volunteer that they broke the doll. The guilt-prone toddlers were more likely to fix the doll, approach the experimenter, and explain what happened. The ashamed toddlers were avoiders; the guilty toddlers were amenders.
If we want our children to care about others, we need to teach them to feel guilt rather than shame when they misbehave. In a review of research on emotions and moral development, the psychologist Nancy Eisenberg suggests that shame emerges when parents express anger, withdraw their love, or try to assert their power through threats of punishment: Children may begin to believe that they are bad people. Fearing this effect, some parents fail to exercise discipline at all, which can hinder the development of strong moral standards.
The most effective response to bad behavior is to express disappointment. According to independent reviews by Professor Eisenberg and David R. Shaffer, parents raise caring children by expressing disappointment and explaining why the behavior was wrong, how it affected others, and how
they can rectify the situation. This enables children to develop standards for judging their actions, feelings of empathy and responsibility for others, and a sense of moral identity, which are conducive to becoming a helpful person. The beauty of expressing disappointment is that it communicates disapproval of the bad behavior, coupled with high expectations and the potential for improvement: "You're a good person, even if you did a bad thing, and I know you can do better."
As powerful as it is to criticize bad behavior and praise good character, raising a generous child involves more than waiting for opportunities to react to the actions of our children. As parents, we want to be proactive in communicating our values to our children. Yet many of us do this the wrong way.
In a classic experiment, the psychologist J. Philippe Rushton gave 140 elementary- and middle-school-age children tokens for winning a game, which they could keep entirely or donate some to a child in poverty. They first watched a teacher figure play the game either selfishly or generously, and then preach to them the value of taking, giving or neither. The adult's influence was significant: Actions spoke louder than words. When the adult behaved selfishly, children followed suit. The words didn't make much difference — children gave fewer tokens after observing the adult's selfish actions, regardless of whether the adult verbally advocated selfishness or generosity. When the adult acted generously, students gave the same amount whether generosity was preached or not — they donated 85 percent more than the norm in both cases. When the adult preached selfishness, even after the adult acted generously, the students still gave 49 percent more than the norm. Children learn generosity not by listening to what their role models say, but by observing what they do.
To test whether these role-modeling effects persisted over time, two months later researchers observed the children playing the game again. Would the modeling or the preaching influence whether the children gave — and would they even remember it from two months earlier?
The most generous children were those who watched the teacher give but not say anything. Two months later, these children were 31 percent more generous than those who observed the same behavior but also heard it preached. The message from this research is loud and clear: If you don't model generosity, preaching it may not help in the short run, and in the long run, preaching is less effective than giving while saying nothing at all.
People often believe that character causes action, but when it comes to producing moral children, we need to remember that action also shapes character. As the psychologist Karl Weick is fond of asking, "How can I know who I am until I see what I do? How can I know what I value until I see where I walk?"

Praise for intelligence can undermine children's motivation and performance.
Mueller, Claudia M.; Dweck, Carol S.
Journal of Personality and Social Psychology, Vol 75(1), Jul 1998, 33-52. doi: 10.1037/0022-35188.8.131.52
Praise for ability is commonly considered to have beneficial effects on motivation. Contrary to this popular belief, six studies demonstrated that praise for intelligence had more negative consequences for students' achievement motivation than praise for effort. Fifth graders praised for intelligence were found to care more about performance goals relative to learning goals than children praised for effort. After failure, they also displayed less task persistence, less task enjoyment, more low-ability attributions, and worse task performance than children praised for effort. Finally, children praised for intelligence described it as a fixed trait more than children praised for hard work, who believed it to be subject to improvement. These findings have important implications for how achievement is best encouraged, as well as for more theoretical issues, such as the potential cost of performance goals and the socialization of contingent self-worth.

Taking a Similarities Perspective
Shalom H. Schwartz ,Anat Bardi
Beyond the striking differences in the value priorities of groups is a surprisingly widespread consensus regarding the hierarchical order of values. Average value hierarchies of representative and near representative samples from 13 nations exhibit a similar pattern that replicates with school teachers in 56 nations and college students in 54 nations. Benevolence, self-direction, and universalism values are consistently most important; power, tradition, and stimulation values are least important; and security, conformity, achievement, and hedonism are in between. Value hierarchies of 83% of samples correlate at least .80 with this pan-cultural hierarchy. To explain the pan-cultural hierarchy, the authors discuss its adaptive functions in meeting the requirements of successful societal functioning. The authors demonstrate, with data from Singapore and the United States, that correctly interpreting the value hierarchies of groups requires comparison with the pan-cultural normative baseline.

Several theories propose that self-esteem, or positive self-regard, results from fulfilling the value priorities of one's surrounding culture. Yet, surprisingly little evidence exists for this assertion, and theories differ about whether individuals must personally endorse the value priorities involved. We compared the influence of four bases for self-evaluation (controlling one's life, doing one's duty, benefitting others, achieving social status) among 4,852 adolescents across 20 cultural samples, using an implicit, within-person measurement technique to avoid cultural response biases. Cross-sectional and longitudinal analyses showed that participants generally derived feelings of self-esteem from all four bases, but especially from those that were most consistent with the value priorities of others in their cultural context. Multilevel analyses confirmed that the bases of positive self-regard are sustained collectively: They are predictably moderated by culturally normative values but show little systematic variation with personally endorsed values.

Position and Disposition: The Contextual Development of Human Values
Kyle C. Longest, Steven Hitlin, Stephen Vaisey
Research on the importance of values often focuses primarily on one domain of social predictors (e.g., economic) or limits its scope to a single dimension of values. We conduct a simultaneous analysis of a wide range of theoretically important social influences and a more complete range of individuals' value orientations, focusing both on value ratings and rankings. Results indicate that traditional institutions such as religion and parenthood are associated with more concern for the welfare of others and maintaining the status quo, whereas more individually oriented occupational factors like higher income and self-employment are linked to achievement and change-related values. Yet several factors, such as education and gender, have complex associations when individual values are examined as part of a coherent system rather than in isolation.

What Defines the Good Person? Cross-Cultural Comparisons of Experts' Models With Lay Prototypes
Kyle D. Smith ,Seyda Türk Smith , John Chambers Christopher
"Good" is a fundamental concept present in all cultures, and experts in values and positive psychology have mapped good's many aspects in human beings. Which aspects do laypersons typically access and consider as they make everyday judgments of goodness? Does the answer vary with culture? To address these questions, the authors compiled prototypes of the good person from laypersons' free-listings in seven cultures and used experts' classifications to content-analyze and compare the prototypes. Benevolence, conformity, and traditionalism dominated the features that laypersons frequently attributed to good people. Other features—competence in particular—varied widely in their accessibility across cultures. These findings depart from those obtained in research using expert-designed self-report inventories, highlighting the need to consider everyday accessibility when comparing cultures' definitions of the good person.

- U.S. House candidate says cat of his campaign director was "slaughtered"
- Democratic hopeful Ken Aden says director Jacob Burris, with his four kids, found dead pet
- Aden reports the word "Liberal" was spray painted on the side of cat
- Russellville, Arkansas, Police Department seeks tips from public in case
The cat of an Arkansas Democratic campaign director was "slaughtered" and found on Sunday with the word "Liberal" scrawled in spray paint on its side, Democratic congressional candidate Ken Aden told CNN on Monday.
The cat of Jacob Burris, who works for Aden in his bid for Arkansas' 3rd Congressional District, was found on Burris' doorstep on Sunday in Russellville, according to Aden.
Burris was with his four children when they found their dead pet, a mixed-breed Siamese cat, on their front doorstep.
"What's unsettling to me is that it doesn't matter what your political beliefs are, as grown adults we should be able to sit down and have a good discussion about the issues," Aden said. "This is a great district. There are so many great folks here, but there are also some disturbed people in the world, too," he added.
The cat was found with its "head bashed in to the point the cat's eyeball was barely hanging from its socket," according to a news release on Aden's website.
Aden announced his bid for Congress against incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Steve Womack on September 1. Burris joined the campaign exactly one month later as its director, Aden said.
The Russellville Police Department was investigating the incident as a case of animal cruelty, and a report was made to the Federal Bureau of Investigation on Monday morning, Aden's website said.
Joshua McMillian, public information officer for Russellville Police Department, said there are no eyewitness statements or evidence at the scene.
"We're asking the public if they know anything about it," McMillian said.
The U.S. Animal Humane Society is offering a $2,500 reward for the arrest and conviction of the person or people responsible.
The Burris family has no history of death threats against them, McMillian said. "We've increased patrols in the area as well. Right now this is only an isolated event," he said.
Aden said, "We've always been vigilant. You always have to watch out, but we haven't taken any added security precautions [because of the incident]. I honestly think it's someone being crazy."

|[en] Aggressiveness of advanced melanomas relates in part to their marked propensity to develop neoangiogenesis and metastases. Among its numerous pro-cancer roles, galectin (gal)-1 expressed and/or secreted by both cancer and endothelial cells stimulates proliferation and angiogenesis. This study first shows that gal-1 is more highly expressed at both mRNA and protein levels than its congeners in melanomas and particularly in advanced lesions. The roles of gal-1 were further investigated in vivo in the highly proliferating and vascularized pseudometastatic B16F10 mouse melanoma model using stable knockdown B16F10 cells and wild-type versus gal-1 knockout mice, and then in vitro in B16F10 tumoral and lung microvascular cells. Gal-1 depletion in the B16F10 tumor cells but not in the tumor-bearing mice significantly increased melanoma-bearing mice survival. Tumor-derived gal-1 thus seems to have more critical roles than the host-derived one. In fact, gal-1 displays distinct effects on the H-Ras-dependent p53/p21 pathways: in primary lung microvessel endothelial cells, gal-1 seems to be involved in the maintenance of senescent status through the induction of both p53 and p21 while it stimulates B16F10 cancer cell proliferation through a p53/p21 decrease. Altogether, these data point to gal-1 as a potential target to combat melanomas.Journal of Investigative Dermatology advance online publication, 24 May 2012; doi:10.1038/jid.2012.142.

A new ebook model
Librarians are having at least as much trouble as publishers coming up with a new business model in response to ebooks ("ALA Midwinter 2012: ALA To Meet with Top Executives of Macmillan, Simon & Schuster, and Penguin on Ebook Lending," ow.ly/8Ge5E). With the entry of ebooks onto the landscape, a queer feature of printed books has taken on salience. Their intellectual property content has been sold to libraries and loaned to patrons for its availability, not its use. The content creators get compensated even if the content is never accessed. Unread books. Ebooks don't need to take on this unfortunate attribute. Patron's having possession of ebooks they aren't reading? Why do we want that? They could be distributed through a public library server in a way that compensates authors whenever their work is actually being read. Why compensate availability when you can compensate actual use?
How could such a system function? Make all works in the system available all the time, as many copies as necessary to meet demand. Put a by-the-minute simultaneous lease/lend transaction on the patron's device that kicks in whenever the work is actually being read. (Amazon already knows exactly when its ebooks are being read because they need the information to sync devices.) Patrons' free daily usage of a work could be limited, with an option to pay for extensions beyond the daily limit at a rate higher than the library pays, generating cash flow to the library's leasing budget. The real demand for a work is known. Pricing, budgets, and limits can be established. Free market. Free libraries.

Older librarians insulted
Based on the conversations I've had recently over John Berry's "Enlist the New Librarians" (Blatant Berry, LJ 9/1/11, p. 11), I think you may have insulted and deflated the aspirations of more "older" librarians….
"These future librarians are exceedingly more receptive to…competition, opposition…than our profession has demonstrated in past decades. After all, they have grown up in a crowd…." Receptive? And what is a "crowd" as you describe? There is more to debate in the piece, but are new librarians really better than "newer, but older in age" librarians? Right now, there are thousands of men and women between 35 and 55 in graduate school pursuing a master's in library science because they want to contribute and they "get it," with regard to the technology, the need for change, etc.
I'm sure Berry didn't intend to alienate the new but older professionals, but I felt the piece was championing youth for the wrong reasons. We all know we need to replace aging workers, but to remind those people to hurry up or else is not the answer….
Based on your photograph, the argument could be made for recruiting new editors to build a more robust future….

Professional excellence
I enjoyed reading Nicole Brown's "Advice for Career Builders," Deborah Lilton's "There Is Work To Be done," Dalena Hunter's "With Advocacy and Collaboration," and Kristin Centanni's "Making the Most of It" (all in John Berry's "Career Tips from the Trenches," LJ 10/15/11, p. 28–31)…. I worked with Brown at the American University in Cairo (Egypt), and she is the consummate information specialist. She is also the personification of professional excellence in the field of information science and a great example for all who wish to pursue this vocation.

Why knock Dallas?
As a Dallas-area librarian, I wish "Occupy ALA" (John Berry, LJ 12/11, p. 67–68) had been a bit more positive in tone. Why exactly is "Dallas not every librarian's favorite destination"? And how will a sentence like that attract attendees to Midwinter? I can guess what Berry means. What a shame that he feels as he apparently does!

Thanks so much for again awarding the West Tisbury Free Public Library a five-star rating (Keith Curry Lance & Ray Lyons, "America's Star Libraries," LJ 11/1/11, p. 26–35). Everyone here is thrilled! The library actually is in the town of West Tisbury (not Vineyard Haven, our mailing, rural-delivery address).

Intimidated by eachotherVisitor's Question from a 16-20 year old Female
Me and my bf have been together 5 months and I care about him alot. We are both 16 years old and have problems commuicating, however, I figured it was a minor problem that would eliminate itself over time once we were more comfortable around eachother. We go to the same school and @ school we walk right past each other in the hallway all day and we both be mad that we are not talking. I want 2 talk to him but when I see him I just can't walk up to him. My heart starts beating all fast and I don't remember what I want 2 say so we just stare @ each other knowing we both want 2 talk. It's easier said than done though. When we were friends we never had this problem but now that we're 2gether he seems larger than life. Im pretty sure he feels the same toward me and thats kinda relieving cuz @ first thought he didnt really like me. We talk on the phone frequently but in person we are both just unapproachable to each other. Sometimes one of us will get tired of walking past eachother all day and we might hug or kiss and the chemistry is there but I'm confused. Everyone says that we seem crazy cuz we so scared of each other. This relationship is so weird but thats my boo. So what do I do?
RomanceClass.com Advice
The first thing to do is to start talking in school.
Whenever you cross paths, you should smile at him and say clearly "Hi" and his name. You could then say "How are you doing?" Smiling is the most important part followed by saying "Hi."
Soon you will comfortable saying more and your relationship will be more normal. You could even think of a nickname and say "Hi, Honey."
Good luck! George

Consider, briefly, a few points concerning our school system.

this must be done outside of school hours and for it there is no com-

pensation. Is it any wonder that many teachers slight that part of
the school work? '"Why should they do it? Much of it is merely
form any way, and only another kind of drudgery and grind.
Another source of inspiration (?) is this: When a teacher has
increased the actual teaching day many hours, throughout the course
of a year, by utilizing the minutes before and after school, and dur
ing the noon intermission, (and for which she is not paid), yet if
this teacher should UNAVOIDABLY absent herself from school, or
from a most tiresome teachers' institute for one-half day, she promptly
learns two things: 1. That her salary has been discounted for the
month in which the absence occurred 2. Not for the one-half day
missed, but for two-thirds of a day. What becomes of the difference
between the half day's salary and the two-thirds? Some one please
answer. If this appreciatin of one's earnest efforts would not in
spire one to noble things, pray tell what would! The wonder is that
those who claim to be educated are so stupid as not to realize the
tremendous power they have if they would only organize. They
would be the masters of the situation. Yet no class of persons is
slower to join efforts for better conditions than are teachers. One
might just as well try to organize a swarm of bumblebees, for when
all other laborers have seen the light and fallen into line our teachers
will still lie humming and buzzing around a generous (?) school board
and a munificent salary of say $70 per month.
Not long ago a teacher went to a bank to cash her warrant, and
i he cashier made profuse apologies I'm- the worn conditions of the bills
r Imi- in exchange for the warrant, saying he hoped she was
not afraid of microbes. "Oh, no! no!!" she replied, truthfully, "no
microbe could live on a teacher's salary." This incideni loses Hi"
humor, when one knows of the stringeni economy thai must he prac
tised by many teachers. The miserable wage paid ('specially to women
is such thai by September firsi each year they are fininacially speak
ing just where they were the year before. Low salaries mean thai
lea. hers can nol continue their educations have nothing to spend for
study and travel and in the end ths state is the loser. When a
stale land commissioner can become ;t millionaire in less than eighi
years, it is strange that more of the school funds derived from sales

wallets from whence they would redound to greater glory (value)

nut the will he retained another year, and that uncertainty has on

the loss in a measure to the schools. To wait until nearly the clfl

A Word to

The movement to obtain control of
the public schools by tin* Socialist
party Is ono that must Indeed be of
vital Interest to tho teachers of the
nation, and especially to tho teachers
of Washington, where the Socialist
movement has attained such propor
tions, that the time when even the
whole state will bo In control of the
Socialist party i:; not far distant. The
teacher must bo either for or against
this movement, as the teaching must
under socialist control be a very dif
ferent affair from the present. In
common with all other human institu
tions the public school Is constantly
undergoing the regular stages of evo
lution and like the American courts
comes in for the most scathing criti
cism from all classes of society. The
teachers like the other divisions of
the working class are beginning to
rely upon themselves, to remedy some
of the wrongs to which they are Bub
ject, and are turning. to politics for
the remedy. ;■:.'.
The two problems that especially
interest the teacher at least In this
state is to raise the work of teaching
to the status of a profession, and to
make provision for the time when old
age makes the faithful teacher unfit
for service in the nerve racking
school room. To secure this provi
sion the teachers are depending upon
a pension bill that was brought before
the state legislature.
This bill meets with very little fav

the teaching force as they feel that
it ~ is especially framed for a ; few fay
are in no wise interested in pension
ing teachers as they cannot see why
a teacher should be any more entitled
to a pension than other members of
the working class who have served
In the industrial army and are in
capacitated for work.
A great deal of misapprehension ex
ists among teachers as well as others
as to what the Socialists expect to ac
complish by control of the schools.
A statement of a few sociological
facts, and the part the teacher plays
in society will clear up in the minds
of the teachers at least all apprehen
sion in regard to the Socialist activ
ity in school affairs. Today the peo
ple are divided into a working class,
who comprise the vast majority of our
population, and a capitalist class who
comprise a very small percentage of
the population of the nation.
This latter class own nearly all the
nation's wealth (110 billions). Of
this wealth one man, J. P. Morgan,
controls about 25 billions. This class
performs no function In modern so
ciety, but to own and control the na

our school histories "tho children of

over the seasoned British troops and
they are taught that the same kind of
troops whipped the British in 1812."
In every war the American volunteer
has emerged from the conflict trium

all that is needed to insure victory Is
for congress to vote the needed appro
priations and the president to issue a
call for volunteers. Then the enemy
will be beaten.
The general says: '
"There never was such rot put into

We protest against the centralization of authorities in the hands

COLUMBUS, Ga. (AP) -- Synovus Financial Corp. on Tuesday reported a jump in its fourth-quarter net income due to a tax benefit.
The company, based in Columbus, Ga., has roughly $27 billion in assets and provides commercial and retail bank services to customers in five Southern states.
Synovus reported net income available to shareholders of $712.8 million, or 78 cents per share, for the quarter that ended Dec. 31. That is compared with net income of $12.8 million, or 1 cent per share, in the same quarter of the prior year.
The latest quarter includes an $800 million income tax benefit as the company recaptured substantially all of its deferred tax asset valuation allowance. The company also had a $157 million charge during the period associated with the sale of some distressed assets.
Synovus CEO Kessel Stelling said the quarter reflects a huge step forward for the company. He said the recapture of the deferred tax asset represents a significant milestone and the company has cut its expenses to better suit its smaller size.
The company's net interest income, or money earned from deposits and loans, fell 8.7 percent to $207.5 million. Analysts polled by FactSet were expecting $216.5 million. Its noninterest income, money earned from fees, charges and other sources, increased 9 percent to $80.1 million.
Synovus' stock was down 4 cents to $2.67 in late trading. Its stock value has increased more than 60 percent since this time last year.
