What is Mycoplasma genitalium (MG)?
Mycoplasma genitalium (MG) was first identified in 1980. It is a bacterium that colonizes the male and female reproductive tract. There is increasing evidence that M. genitalium is a sexually transmitted disease. People who have M. genitalium are often asymptomatic (have no symptoms).
What conditions, if any, are commonly associated with MG?
It may be associated with acute and chronic urethritis in men. Existing data on infection in women are limited and inconsistent, but suggest that M. genitalium is associated with urethritis, cervicitis, pelvic inflammatory disease, and possibly female infertility. There are no reliable conclusions regarding the role of M. genitalium in adverse pregnancy outcomes and ectopic pregnancy. Further research is needed in this area.
What tests or treatments are available for MG?
There is currently no commercially available test for M. genitalium. The antibiotic azithromycin is suggested as treatment but azithromycin-resistant infections have been reported in three continents, and the proportion of azithromycin-resistant M. genitalium infection is unknown.
Why is MG in the news now?
The International Journal of Epidemiology has just published a cross-sectional study investigating the relationship between sexual activity and MG. There were no cases of MG in people who had never had sex; the infection was seen in about 1% of sexually active participants. It was more common in those who had had more partners, or reported having more unprotected sex. (1)
What can you do to protect yourself against MG?
The safest way to protect yourself against this infection is to use a condom when you have sex.

Topic: Plant Identification
Title: Identity of bulbs from digging in an anthole
Answered by: Nan Hampton
QUESTION:I was digging in an ant hole and it collapsed and as I dug it out, I found around 50 white bulbs that did not have a smell or roots. They resembled onion bulbs. I have a picture of these and they are actually a little more slender than your traditional onion bulb. What are these?
That's a really tough question because:
1) You didn't say where you digging. Was it in the woods? in a flower bed? in your lawn?
2) Did the bulbs have any other living plant material with them? a stem? leaves?
3) What size were they? an inch in diameter? half an inch?
The toughest part of the question is, however, that even if you had provided these facts, there really isn't a database for identifying bulbs. Also, there are several bulb-like structures—corms, tubers, tuberous roots, rhizomes—that are confused with true "bulbs". Many plants in the Family Liliaceae (Lily Family), Family Iridaceae (Iris Family) and Family Orchidaceae (Orchid family) have bulbs, but there are many other plant families that have bulbs as well so there isn't really a good place to start a search for what type of bulbs they might be. Here are the plant families that the Pacific Bulb Society lists as having bulbs. You can see by their page "What is a Bulb" that their definition is not as strict as the one given above.
If the bulbs you dug up were in a flower bed or a lawn, they are very likely a bulb from a non-native plant and, since our focus and expertise are with plants native to North America, we aren't like to be much help in identifying them.
If you found them in the woods or where other native plants grow naturally, it is more likely that they are the bulbs from native plants. If you normally visit the area, do you remember seeing plants growing where you were digging? That would give you a clue as to what they are.
Either way, your best bet to find out what they are is to either plant the bulbs you dug out and see what grows from them or watch the area where you dug them to see what sort of plants show up there. When you have a plant to associate with the bulbs, take a photo of it (wait for it to bloom, if possible), then visit our Plant Identification page to find links to several plant identification forums that accept photos of plants for identification. You could try submitting a photo of the bulbs you found to one of these forums, but I think it is very unlikely that anyone could identify them.

I get that certain things are important at certain times, but when you're negotiating a CBA that will be in place for 10 years, don't you want to make sure everything in that agreement is something you can live with? Don't you need to plan ahead a little bit? Having the players upset with Goodell's power now really isn't going to do anything.
Andrew Brandt (1:07 PM)
Good point, and that has been my issue with this entire bounty reaction from the players. The outrage on the quality and quantity of Goodell's evidence, to me, is misplaced. This is not a court of law. The evidence is not judged by an impartial arbitrator or an impartial judge. This is a collectively-bargained power that the commissioner has to discipline players based on a catch-all phrase called "conduct detrimental". As to the question players ask on whether or not Goodell is being fair, that is a relative term. To ownership, he is being fair and relying on evidence he's culled from years of investigation. The players think the evidence is shoddy, but they're in the first year of a ten-year CBA that sanctions the commissioner to act this way. The wild-card is the judge in New Orleans who can grant the players injunctions to play even though Goodell has ruled on the suspensions. The focus is on the results when really it should have been on the process a year and a half ago. I understand priorities change and the NFLPA looked to secure more important issues to them, but to rail against the process now is too late. In terms of, can the union change this? I think everything is negotiable even with an existing CBA. The question is, would the NFLPA give up something to rein in Goodell's powers, and that something would have to be pretty strong, because of the way he feels about the power to discipline players.
Alex (Washington)
If you were to go back to being an agent, what would you be telling Vilma?
Andrew Brandt (1:10 PM)
I suppose my advice would be that it's OK to give public statements, but I think he would be better-served by having them be less emotional and more direct in terms of something like "I disagree strongly with the commissioner's decision, and we will use all available resources to contest it", rather than tirades against the commissioner and lawsuits. To me, any dispute resolution is about relationships and developing some sort of trust with the other side, and I've sensed from the beginning, whether it's Vilma, his lawyer, or the union lawyers, that there doesn't appear to be a relationship or trust with the union lawyers to broker some kind of trust, and the time to have that negotiation would have been before the suspensions were announced, rather than after. I would also want to make sure that Vilma is protected from any incrimination due to any comments he makes involving what really happened or not.
Stephen (Detroit)
Andrew, is the Redskins and Cowboys cap issue been resolved? I haven't heard much about it lately.
Andrew Brandt (1:12 PM)
Unfortunately for Redskins and Cowboys fans, yes, that ship has sailed. The case was brought against the NFL by Jerry Jones and Dan Snyder contesting whether Roger Goodell had the authority to do that, contesting the cap penalties themselves. The arbitrator ruled in favor of the NFL and the Redskins and Cowboys made a statement that they would no longer contest it and would accept the arbitrator's decision. My sense now is that Jones and Snyder now have that chip to use with Goodell and other owners going forward, but they've taken their medicine on that case.
Andrew Brandt (1:13 PM)
As to the collusion case on whether there was a secret cap or not in 2010, that is related to the Cowboys and Redskins penalties, but it is a separate case between the union and the league, and distinct from the cap penalty case. So even if the judge rules that there was a secret cap and the owners are guilty of collusion, that will not affect the Redskins' cap penalties.
Peter (Raleigh, NC)
What are your impressions on the NHL lockout? Can you see a scenario where this goes on past the Winter Classic? I think that would be too detrimental to the game.
Andrew Brandt (1:17 PM)
You can take the language used by Gary Bettman and the owners and insert it into what was said by Roger Goodell and the NFL owners, and what was said by David Stern and the NBA owners. They all have talked about a changed economic environment since their last CBA, and the fact that player costs are outpacing team revenues. The obvious rebuttal to that from the players should be the only reason player costs are outpacing revenues is that owners are paying players what they want to pay them. These CBAs are about tipping the scales toward ownership. That has been accomplished in the NFL and NBA and likely will be accomplished in the NHL. The activation point for television money in the NBA was the Christmas games, and that dictated a deadline of Thanksgiving to have the deal done, which did happen. In the case of the NHL, the national TV money activates with the winter classic, which would indicate about a December 1 deadline for something to happen. I think I would favor that happening, but Don Fehr, the head of the NHLPA, is going to drive a hard bargain, and I feel less confident that they will get a deal done than I did about the NFL and NBA.
Andrew Brandt (1:17 PM)
Best guess is: a deal is done in the last days of November.
adam (Bloomington, MN)
On the topic of "broke," do you see today's agents being somehow better about advising their clients or is it inevitable to invest in tomato farms?
Andrew Brandt (1:21 PM)
"Broke" brought out a lot of behind-the-scenes realities about athletes and money. From my experience as an agent, as well as on the team side, there's no bigger challenge than controlling athletes' spending. I do defend agents' roles in these decisions, because more often than not, the agents are not involved in financial management, only in negotiating deals, marketing, etc. I would always tell my clients to simply put their money in a bank account, because beyond superstars or high first-round draft picks, there's simply not a lot of leftover money for investment. There are the horror stories out there with these terrible investments and shady financial managers, but the key is for players to have people they can trust to tell them what they need to hear rather than what they want to hear. You would hope they have someone to do that. Unfortunately the lure of those investments is out there, making it hard to avoid risky investments. At the end of the day, all you can do is lead the horse to water and hope he drinks. I would have investment seminars with the Packers and financial management sessions, but it would not be mandatory and the turnout would be low.
Joe (San Antonio)
What was the most head scratching purchase you saw a player buy?
Andrew Brandt (1:23 PM)
I once saw a player with a $3500 charge to a pet shop, and I called him on it. He mentioned what a great dog he had bought. I asked how much the dog was, and he said, about a thousand dollars. I asked him what the other $2500 of expense were. He mentioned a couple of accessories and an air-conditioned doghouse. I just shook my head that a player would spend that much money on an air-conditioned doghouse, with a contract that may have been and in fact was his last in football. Those are the kind of things that are frustrating.

Where are current NFL players stand re: former players concussion suit?Does the NFL assess the teams individually for excess liability coverage and liability accruals?
Andrew Brandt (1:26 PM)
I'm not completely conversant in the liability issue, but in terms of active vs. former players, active players are very interested in seeing where these concussion lawsuits go, particularly in the area of medical monitoring. There are many players in these lawsuits who do not have symptoms -- they simply are requesting monitoring as they move toward these problems later on. That is the concern of current players. They want the costs of their care covered long after they continue playing. I get frustrated hearing from players who join these lawsuits, simply because there is no downside for them to do so. The lawyer fees are contingent and they might as well, even though they show no signs of mental impairment. The other interesting things for active players is that, by the time they reach trial, most current players will be former players. They have a particular interest, and if they don't, they should.
Mark (Woodbury, MN)
Will a court decide if Goodell has to recuse himself or does he just make the decision not to himself.
Andrew Brandt (1:29 PM)
The appeal is to Goodell, so as I read it, it is his decision to make. In his ruling on Tuesday, he actually identified himself as the hearing officer on appeal, but in light of the players' request, he could designate another league executive to hear these cases. Of course, these executives are going to feel the way that he does, because he's their boss. In theory, the players would have a more impartial hearing officer were it not the commissioner. My initial reaction was that he will not recuse himself because he feels so strongly about these issues, but for the sake of appearance, he could have one of his lieutenants be the hearing officer. That case will be heard no later than a week from Tuesday.
Andrew Brandt (1:30 PM)
Thanks as always for great, smart, and intelligent questions. I'm always impressed by the level of awareness that these questions have. Be sure to check out my two columns this week: one on the Jets' injuries and one on the bounty rulings. I'm always tweeting about these things @ADBrandt. See you next week!

What to do
Cut back early-flowering herbaceous plants such as the oriental poppy. You can be as vicious as you like with this. Surrounding plants will then have more room for manoeuvre. The perennial cornflower, Centaurea montana can also be cut back hard. It will produce fresh foliage and another crop of flowers later in the season.
Clip over aubrietas and saxifrages to remove dead flowers and some of the straggly growth of aubrieta. If bright yellow flowers on your senecio are going to ruin a colour scheme, get rid of them now.
Keep a watch on populations of aphids. Some infestations, as on the tops of broad bean plants, can easily be dealt with. Snap off the tops, together with the blackfly, and bin them. Meanwhile, greenfly on honeysuckle and roses may need to be sprayed.
Evergreen ceanothus can be pruned now, if it is growing too far out from the wall. Cut back flowered sprays to within a few buds of the main branch. Tie in new growths as flat as you can against the wall. Growths springing directly from the front of the trunk (called, for obvious reasons, breastwood) may have to be dispensed with altogether.
Spring-flowering chaenomeles may also need attention where it is trained against a wall. Tie in some new growths to build up the framework and cut back other lateral twiggy growths to five or six buds.

This Lent, take a 40-day devotional journey with Dietrich Bonhoeffer. Click here to sign up.
This chapter is the description of a lamentable devastation made of the country of Judah by locusts and caterpillars. Some think that the prophet speaks of it as a thing to come and gives warning of it beforehand, as usually the prophets did of judgments coming. Others think that it was now present, and that his business was to affect the people with it and awaken them by it to repentance. I. It is spoken of as a judgment which there was no precedent of in former ages, Joel 1:1-7. II. All sorts of people sharing in the calamity are called upon to lament it, Joel 1:8-13. III. They are directed to look up to God in their lamentations, and to humble themselves before him, Joel 1:14-20.

In keeping with the mission of NIDCR to improve oral, dental and craniofacial health, this proposal focuses on the developmental genetic basis of patterning of the facial skeleton. It utilizes zebrafish as a model system. The model has many positive attributes for study of the detailed nature of how embryonic cells build and shape a set of interconnected skeletal elements, and for learning about the genes that guide these cellular activities. Zebrafish broadly share basic patterning mechanisms of jaw and skull formation with other vertebrates, including humans. Furthermore, there are increasing numbers of examples known where mutations in the very same genes of humans, mouse, and zebrafish produce head skeletal malformations that are similar in detail. Hence, zebrafish can teach us much about the nature of the defects in inherited craniofacial disorders such as cleft palate. Three projects are proposed to test specific predictions of hypotheses explaining critical aspects of early skeletal patterning, and to discover new craniofacial regulatory genes. The first investigation is to examine function of a genetic pathway that is activated in the embryonic pharyngeal arches by an upstream signaling molecule, Endothelin1, critical for jaw patterning in zebrafish and mouse alike. With even mild disruption of this pathway the joint between the upper and lower jaw is lost, replaced with cartilage in a way that seems to mimic early stages of severe osteoarthritis. The experiments examine specific roles of Endothelin1 target genes that normally regulate repression of cartilage development where the joint arises. All of the zebrafish craniofacial studies carried out so far have been limited to the first few days of skeletal development, and the second and third projects will expand our knowledge to include many more days, to the juvenile-adult stage. The second project utilizes confocal time-lapse recording of development of fluorescently labeled bone and bone-forming cells in living, intact fish larvae. It will explore the nature of the dynamic cellular reorganizations that appear to underlie formation of new bone morphologies. The third investigation is to use a skeletal mutant screen at the juvenile-adult stage to discover new craniofacial genes. The highest priority is to find genes that function to expand upon the early skeletal scaffold that forms in the embryo. Analyses of the mutants recovered in this screen will reveal how the genes work.
Our project will provide basic understanding of genetic and cellular mechanisms regulating morphogenesis of the craniofacial skeleton. We will investigate cellular behaviors that shape dermal bones, and we will identify and characterize new craniofacial genes, informing us of the potential disturbances underlying inherited human disorders such as in DeGeorge and Frasier syndromes.

I was so happy with our meal. There were 4 of us and we were all VERY PLEASED....even our very picky eater and that really saying something. Ate dinner there last night; going there for lunch today. Great wedge salad and steak salad
We stopped by here after a day on the slopes. The food was great for the price and the service was fast. I recommend the nachos.
Great service, great food! My husband and I come here when we drive our Jeep up the back way from Pioneer Town we usually come in around 4pm when it is quiet we watch sports up at the bar and relax. Food is great, we love the shrimp appetizer and for main course my husband loves the prime rib dip... More
Quaint atmosphere, music on the weekends, great bar and outstanding food. There is something on the menu for everyone! We love the burgers and their pizzas are great as well.
We dine at the Black Diamond every time we are in Big Bear Lake. Food is always consistently good, service spot on with great mountain ambience. One of our favorites in BB!
Walked over from our hotel for a drink and bit to eat at the end of a long day at Oktoberfest. The game was on and there was a acoustic musical act. All good except for the $15 6 slice pizza, that was to small to be considered a medium and to big to be considered small.
We came in for a late lunch. We were seated but the host forgot to notify the wait staff that we were here so we waited around awhile and had to get up and find someone finally. The wait staff was very nice. The food was average. My husband liked his Turkey Club. My chicken Caesar had no flavor whatsoever... More
We visited with a group of 19 without reservation, the staff never hesitated to get us right in and provided excellent service. Food was great, not what I expected from a tavern!
We arrived later in the evening and ate at the bar. The band playing sounded great! Sandwiches were huge and yummy. Also had flatbread / pizza that was fantastic. Bartender was pleasant and made good cocktails.

Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire (Widescreen)
When Harry Potter's name emerges from the Goblet of Fire, he becomes a competitor in a grueling battle for glory among three wizarding schools - the Triwizard Tournament.

Now Harry must confront a deadly dragon, fierce water demons and an enchanted maze only to find himself in the cruel grasp of He Who Must Not Be Named. In this fourth film adaptation of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter series, everything changes as Harry, Ron and Hermione leave childhood forever and take on challenges greater than anything they could have imagined.

KS2 Egg-citing Easter Egg decorating competition – who will your egg become?
THE ECLIPSE !!! Bloggers are SP-H, ED and CG today
Today we all went outside to watch the solar eclipse! We had made pinhole cameras to see the image of the moon as it moved across the sun.It was amazing!we also got to look through special eclipse glasses to see a truly amazing sight. Mr T held up a colanderand we saw the image hundreds of times.
We then went to KS1 and asked what they thought of the eclipse.
J.S year 3 It was so nice when all of the animals just went silent because they noticed someting was happening.
S.P year 3 I liked it because the sun looked like it was a crescent moon.
O.PH year 2 It was amazing because when i looked through the glasses the sun went orange.
H.C year 2 It was a great experience !!!
I.HO year 2 It was shining red
S.B. Year 1 It was great using the pin hole camera!
We hope you enjoyed the solar eclipse too!
The eclipse results
Today we went to Y4,Y5 and Y6 to see what their thoughts were about the eclipse.
Here are some thoughts that the children gave us :
A.P Y6 It was very different and exciting
L.H Y6 It was very interesting and fascinating, i have never seen one before.
H.H Y5 I thought it was awsome and a moment that i will never forget.
A.D Y5 I thought it was amazing how it looked through the glasses.
C.C Y5 I thought it was beautiful and bright.
F.H Y5 I thought it was extraordinary.
H.L Y4 I thought it was interesting and the sun was a nice colour
A.T Y4 I thought it was good, i enjoyed myself

AB Y5 Rockets Ready To Launch!
By the title you probably guessed Red Team were making rockets but out of what? It is quite unusual but actually balloons have alot in common with rockets!If you let go of the bottom of the balloon it will fly around just like a rocket when it launched. So our task was to make a rocket out of a balloon and test how far it would go. We had to beat 10.10m achievied by the Blue Team to win. Here are the quotes from today:
SB Y3:'We are making a rocket and we're trying to make it glide across string.'
BP Y4:'We are making rockets and we're testing them to fly more than the other teams.'
ZA Y6:'We are trying to beat the record of the other house teams.'
AH Y3:'Our team won with 11m beating Blue!'
So as you can see Red Team won the rocket competition with 11m-our target.This was the last activity but we are looking foward to the solar eclipse tommorow. We really enjoyed science week!

Blue Team KS1 – parachutes
We are going to look at what Blue Team KS1 did today. Here are a few quotes:
NK Y1: 'We are making parachutes. We are testing them with different materials.I am enjoying it!'
AG Rec: 'We are making parachutes, we are using newspaper this time. It is going well.'
LB Rec: 'I am really enjoying what I am doing.'
OPH Y2: 'I am making parachutes out of different materials and shapes. I am enjoying working in a team.'
LR Rec: 'I liked it when the parachute flew down.'
DS Y2: 'I am really enjoying Science Week, this activity is really fun!'
MH Y2: 'I enjoyed testing my parachute out on the aparatus.'
AB Rec: 'I am enjoying watching my parachute fly down.'
So that is what Blue Team did today.I hope you enjoyed reading about it.
Day 4 science week MT
Today Green team were with Mr J doing an experiment with an egg and paper clips.
Here are some responses i got from the children in Green team:
Y.K Y5 : I am enjoying science week so far but this was one of the best activities yet.
V.Q Y5 : I am enjoying science week so far but this activity i did was not my favourite, my favourite was Mrs Bamber's balloon rocket investigation.
L.Q Y5 : I liked this activity i enjoyed doing the paper clip challenge which was all about trying to get a paper clip to float, it was amazing.
C.G Y5 : I liked to working with my team because they were very helful.

To find the original price:
Since the price for the first pair is 20% off the original price, you're actually paying 80% of the original price.
0.8x = 64
x = 64/0.8
x = 80
Using the same method, find the original price of the second pair.
We'll be glad to check your answer.
would the second pair be $120?
then you add those together, and that equals $200.
Here's were I'm stuck.
Would you make the $200 a percent then subtract it by the sum of the 80% and 60%? your answer would be 50%.
Yes. The original price of the second pair was $120 -- so the two pairs of shoes together would have cost $200.
But you paid only paid $136 for the twopairs.
To find the percent of discount for both pairs:
$200 - 136 = $64
64/200 = .32 = 32%
Oh THANK YOU!!! i've benn so confused!

"The Springtime Lace Afghan Pattern is so cute. It will make a great baby blanket for that special baby. This could be made in many different colors that will really be pretty. The pattern reads really easy and a beginner could do this.I am looking forward to to this project in the very near future."
"he Cape Cod Afghan is really a cute pattern. It would be a great one for beginners. The pattern only calls for two skeins of yarn. The pattern reads really easy. This could also be used as a baby blanket and would look great in one of those baby colors. This is one pattern that I will definitely save for a later project down the road."

Night Eating Syndrome
The little-known eating disorder with big health implications
By Lara Rondinelli, RD, LDN, CDE
While most people have heard about more common eating disorders such as anorexia or bulimia, you may not be as familiar with Night Eating Syndrome (NES). NES is a syndrome that involves a dysfunctional sleep pattern and a disassociation between eating and sleeping — in other words, eating large quantities of food throughout the night, even resulting in waking up to eat food. Previous research suggests that although the prevalence of NES is low in the general population, prevalence rates are significantly higher in the obese population.
Diagnostic Criteria
NES is an eating disorder in which an individual obsessively consumes more than half of his or her daily caloric intake after eight o'clock in the evening. People with NES may experience feelings of anxiety and guilt, insomnia, or interrupted sleep. It is common for people with NES not to be hungry in the morning due to the large intake of calories during the night. Some people may not remember how much food they consumed in the middle of the night. In addition, some people may be embarrassed to admit to this eating pattern. Not only can this behavior cause problems such as weight gain, but for people with diabetes it can also have a serious impact on blood glucose levels.
Clinical Classification
Experts believe NES may be triggered by a stressful event or caused by hormone imbalances. Although there has been significant progress in the clinical recognition of NES over the last 20 years, it is still not widely recognized. Therefore, the diagnosis may be hard to obtain. Progress is expected to continue due to the fact that NES has just been accepted for inclusion in the next edition of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM-V), which is due for publication in 2013. Screening for NES comes in the form of a Night Eating Questionnaire, which evaluates the severity of the condition. If you think you might have NES, discuss this with your doctor — don't be afraid to talk about it. You need help in dealing with this issue and it is not as uncommon as you may think.
Treatment Options
- Therapy – Finding a psychologist or social worker that has experience working with NES would be ideal. A therapist can help you devise a treatment plan to avoid night eating, decrease calorie and carbohydrate intake, thus improving glucose control and possibly lowering weight too. In addition, if depression, stress, or anxiety is contributing to NES, a therapist can help you tackle these issues and make recommendations specifically for your individual treatment.
- Sleep Study – A sleep study may be useful to determine if you are experiencing any other sleep issues such as sleep apnea or restless leg syndrome, which can cause sleep disruptions.
- Exercise – Exercise has numerous health benefits, both physical and emotional. Not only does exercise help with weight control and blood sugar control, it also improves mood, boosts energy, and promotes better sleep. The CDC recommends that adults get at least 2 hours and 30 minutes of moderate-intensity aerobic activity (i.e., brisk walking) every week in addition to muscle-strengthening activities on 2 or more days a week. You can read more here about exercise benefits for those with diabetes here: http://www.dlife.com/diabetes-food-and-fitness/diabetes_and_exercise/regular_physical_activity
- Meet with a Registered Dietitian (RD) – A RD can assess your overall diet and make healthy eating recommendations. He or she can help you come up with a plan to make sure your diet is balanced and designed for blood sugar control and weight control, if needed. Food records and follow-ups with your RD can help monitor your progress and determine how you are doing with your goals. Food records should document food intake, times, portion sizes, emotions and number of nighttime eating events. Weight loss and improved glycemic control are possible positive outcomes of successfully dealing with NES.
- Medications –Sometimes medications may be used to treat NES. This is something to discuss with your doctor.
- Resources – Overcoming Night Eating Syndrome: A Step-by-Step Guide to Breaking the Cycle is a book that will help you identify problem behaviors and teach you how to break these patterns with healthier food choices, more structured mealtimes, and a series of relaxation and visualization techniques.

As I mentioned in an earlier post, one of the benefits that made it cost-effective for me to go with the real healthcare (HSA) plan rather than the phony (HRA) plan is that my company is now covering "preventative" medicines at $0 copay. The formulary for these, as stated by CVS/Caremark (my pharmacy benefits provider), covers all test strips, lancets, and control solutions. I dutifully get my doctor to write up prescriptions for all of my testing needs, submit...

"Just Do It"– Nike's famous slogan.
"I've missed more than 9000 shots in my career. I've lost almost 300 games. 26 times, I've been trusted to take the game winning shot and missed. I've failed over and over and over again in my life. And that is why I succeed."– Michael Jordan
"What is worse: making the occasional mistake or having a closed mind and missing opportunities?"– Sir Richard Branson from his book 'Screw It, Let's Do It'
Yesterday at work we hosted an event called the UR{BNE} Film Festival and we screened three films: Urban Roots, Re-imagining Lincoln Center and the High Line and Skateistan.
Skateistan is a story of a couple of awesome Aussies who saw an opportunity to take skateboarding to Afghanistan, in the process supporting hundreds of young Afghans in overcoming barriers around education, healthcare and racial, gender and political intolerance. After the films we held a panel discussion and Malcolm Middleton, the Queensland Government Architect made the observation that a common theme across the films was taking action. As he said "if any of these projects had waited to gain permission or figure out the details they never would have eventuated."
We all know the quote that it's "better to ask for forgiveness than to seek approval" and there are so many examples (like the three that I saw yesterday) where this kind of action can lead to really powerful and meaning change. Yet so often we just don't do it.
When we are faced with a challenging situation, and the opportunity to take action, some very interesting things happen at a conscious and unconscious level.
For me, I firstly feel something in my body. Usually a pang of anxiety or adrenalin somewhere in my chest. Then there is a voice that pops into my head that says "Uh oh, should we really be doing this? It seems dangerous or risky." I blogged earlier in the year about feeling the fear and acting in spite of it but we should remember that fear isn't necessarily a bad thing.
Fear operates at a primal level to protect us and those we care about. It's a well-intentioned kind of fear. This kind of fear can protect us from danger and harm and allow us to make intelligent decisions. However, in my experience, 99% of the time this fear is protecting us from "failure". That is, protecting us from taking action that provides a result that is unexpected and unpleasant.
Here's a concept to consider:
There is no such thing as failure, only learning.
Imagine if we could shift our vocabulary and mindset to replace the word "failure" with "learning" (I dare you to try it for a week!).
But this isn't just a game or a trick to play on our mind! Consider the possible scenarios around taking action:
If I don't take action:
- Nothing changes. I will never know what could have happened. And I learn nothing.
If I do take action:
- Things could go "right" or as I expected. No surprises but also a pretty good outcome (by the way, in my experience things pretty much never turn out how I expect or hope!)
- Things could go "wrong" (what we tend to call "failure"). But in going wrong I learn an incredible lesson that will propel me closer to success next time and expand my reality. We always learn more from our mistakes than our successes.
- Things could turn out in an unexpected way, leading to outcomes and opportunities I never could have imagined.
I can think of so many examples in my life (flying to Egypt, approaching a certain stranger, making a certain phone call etc.) where taking action has resulted in incredible learning. I can also think of plenty of examples where I haven't taken action and I've gained nothing except wondering "what if?".
The only failure is inaction.
Sure, it's easy to say, just do it. But sometimes we just don't have the motivation or courage to act, or our rational mind talks us out of it.
I'd like to share a story about how using a "moonshot" and an unrealistic timeframe can be used to whip ourselves into action!
In November 2008, my good friend Martin McDonald (aka Son of Sea) introduced me and my friends to a thing called Nasoalmo (National Solo Album Month). The challenge (read: moonshot) was to write, record, mix and release an album in the 30 days of November 2008. The impossibility of the challenge made it all the more surreal as I raced to cram time in before and after work to write and record. November 2008 also became one of the biggest months of my life as my Grandfather passed away, I came out of a long-term relationship and began a new one amidst a series of epic sub-tropical Brisbane storms.
The result was my most productive songwriting period ever and an audio diary of some of the most significant experiences of my life; the album 'My, What a Big Black Cloud!'
Four years later, last November after Marty and I had eventually caught up on the lost sleep, we decided to try our hand at Nanowrimo (National Novel Writing Month), the challenge this time being to write 50,000 words of fiction in the thirty days of November.
Even though I have very limited writing experience, the process I went through to reach this goal was very similar to the album in a month.
Firstly, I spent the first 10 days of the month planning, deliberating and structuring what I wanted to achieve as an end result (read: procrastinating).
Then, on day 11 I had a minor freak out / panic attack and released I could procrastinate no more! I just had to get started. So, I joined the Queensland Writer's Centre 'Rabbit Hole' weekend and surrounded myself with other people who were taking action. On that Saturday I remember setting myself a goal to just write 1,500 words whether it was good or not (just do it!). I remember going through this subtle shift where I let go of the quality and just wrote. Once I stopped judging the quality of what I was doing, words started to come quite easily.
I'd made a start! And that was the hardest part. Then, all I had to do was chunk it down into bite-sized daily pieces (2,500 words) and then find the time to reach the word target each day. It's amazing because I just became more and more efficient at producing the words in small blocks of time. I'd write before work, squeeze 600 words in during the bus trip from home to work, 1000 in my lunch break and then a few hundred more when I got home.
You'd think that the quality of my writing would be terrible using this approach but in fact it was the opposite (a paradox!). By switching off my critical mind I was able to write more freely and creatively and really live in the moment of my characters' experiences. This was so much fun too because writing at this pace also felt like I was reading the book in real-time.
I ended up reaching the goal 2 days early and writing 60,000 words!
While it's easy to say just do it, it's not so easy in practice. Here are a few suggestions from my experience:
- Set a task or a goal (moonshot) and make sure it's unrealistic and crazy enough to inspire you to awesomeness!
- Tell everybody you know about your goal! By doing this you are making yourself publicly accountable to achieving it, and sewing seeds of support that you will need along the way!
- Create an arbitrary but seemingly impossible timeframe to achieve the goal (make sure it's short so you can go hard without burning yourself out),
- Take the first step immediately toward the goal. Or, for an extra adrenalin rush, procrastinate within your already limited timeframe to the point where you can't delay action any longer!
- Small-chunk the challenge down into daily accomplishments and feel the sense of achievement as you start to believe that you can do it.
This is not the kind of thing you can keep up all year round; it's adrenalin-rush kind of stuff. You have to be willing to put it all on the line for a very short period of time and live and breathe your goal. The beauty is though, that the universe will come to your rescue; you'll find that people come out of the woodwork to support you, that little chunks of time appear out of nowhere and your efficiency goes through the roof! And then, once your short burst of effort is over you can sit back, chill out and bask in the awesomeness of your achievement.
I'd really love to hear any stories that people have of these kinds of experiences. Have you worked on an exciting project within a crazy timeframe? Share your experience in the comments below.
Til next week Be Awesome. Just do it!
