The Platform: NeuroLeadership Summit 2008, Day 1
The Twitter: Psssttt! It's all connected — brain, body and mind!
The Big Idea: Rethinking leadership from an interdependent whole-brain, whole-body, whole-mind networked point of view!
David Rock, founder of the NeuroLeadership Institute and organizer of both the NY and Sydney meetings this year, noted last evening that today's most urgent issue, as seen by companies and businesses across the global sphere, is the crisis of developing leadership. With that in mind, Rock invited world-class scientists to give keynote talks — presentations which should help this year's summit partipants picture a new paradigm of "best practices" when approaching the question of developing leadership.
For yours truly, it was a deep and gratifying pleasure to be immersed in an arena wherein scientists, coaches and consultants seriously broached the topic of new neuroscience and the myriad of ways to connect body, mind and brain in human learning, performance and innovation, be it at home, school, in sport or in the workplace.
Again, time is limited to tell all (more will be fleshed out post summit) but here's the beef on today's keynote talks — which by the way, are followed up by generous amounts of time for question and break-out focus group discussions:
From the first keynote by Dr. Amy Arnstein to the last one of the day delivered by Dr. Kevin Ochsner, the frame for Day 1 stretched across a psychological continuum: Arnstein cogently tackled the neurochemical correlates to interrupted moments of perception and cognition (either by way of daily stress or by profound mental illness); Ochsner closed the long intense day by chunking the complex study of human emotion into a bite size expose on the neuroanatomical correlates to strategies that effect emotional experience and behavior, e.g. "reappraisal" of emotional narrative. (Arnstein gets two thumbs up for a spiffy visual presentations. As one researcher noted — the cartooned versions of neurotransmitting processes signaled well with 'low noise' residual.)
With the frame set by these two talks, were some real nuggets of 21st century thinking — the sort that reinforces the hard work reseachers, thought leaders and cultural changers have put forth for more than half a century in communicating
1) the value of "insight" in innovation and
2) "mindfulness" (or meditation) experiences in modifying how we use our "attention" in goal directed tasks.
Within the break out discussions, some facinating and tough questions were raised by the audience regarding cross-cultural imprinting and bias in charting the neuroscience of perception, leaving a door open to comparative cultural studies, especially with developing leaders in the global sphere is concerned.
While all of the keynotes were delivered in impeccable style, Dr. Yi-Yuan Tang's lunchtime presentation clearly touched my brain and heart in his clear and playful deconstruction of cultural definitions of "mindfulness" experience to make room for the semantics of a neuroscientifically informed picture of brain/mind/body operations and connections that enter into the "mindfulness state." As one who first came to mindfulness through the Martial arts, Yuan placed before us the challenge of knowing how to engage attention and awareness in a way that helps us "integrate" body/mind and brain in the experience of "being" (as to be distinguished neurologically from "thinking or doing.") In response to Tang's talk, David Rock offered a tip he found helpful in his study of mindfulness, namely the strategy of distingushing between narration (interpretation) and direct experience — each having their own correlates in brain anatomy and brain chemistry.
As I have noted on this blog, the brain/body/mind connection is one we can't emphasize enough. It speaks of a new way to recognize our very humanness as a function of emergent networked processes, allowing us to integrate in a multi-dimensional fashion, a host of relations between what and how we think/feel and do.
The message from today's proceedings: The responsibility of developing effective and even inspiring 21st century leadership rests on the shoulders of the somatically and neuroscientifically aware.
One can find the summit proceedings schedule on the NeuroLeadership.org website.
More manana.
Syaptically yours,
Dr. G.
P.S. A self-referential historical note regarding the inception of the blogsite: I wrote my dissertation in the late '80's on "attention and awareness training" practices used by American performing artists. Sometimes a good idea like cheese, needs time to age. Please write if you have questions about the literature on attention training.

Lou Donaldson
Organist Jimmy Smith's next-to-last LP for Blue Note after a very extensive seven-year period is up to his usual level. With altoist Lou Donaldson joining Smith's regular group (which included guitarist Quentin Warren and drummer Donald Bailey), the quartet swings with soul on such fine numbers as "When My Dream Boat Comes Home," "Can Heat," "Please Send Me Someone to Love" and "Just a Closer Walk with Thee." With the exception of the closing ballad, "Trust in Me," all seven of the selections are closely related to the blues. ~ Scott Yanow

'Making A Murderer's' Brendan Dassey Released From Prison
For Brendan Dassey, and those who watched Netflix documentary 'Making A Murderer' it seems as though Brendan Dassey was pulled into a situation as a young kid that he probably wasn't meant to be involved in.
His uncle, Stephen Avery, was the authorities main, if not only person of interest in a case involving a deceased woman, Teresa Halbach, of which he was charged for rape and murder.
#MakingAMurderer: federal judge overturns Brendan Dassey's convictions https://t.co/kFk5rmFiRr pic.twitter.com/mEbQcbbdXZ— VANITY FAIR (@VanityFair) 12 August 2016
Then 17-year-old Dassey's inability to consistently testify due to his low IQ in the borderline deficiency range, meant that he was charged too.
Avery and Dassey were both respectively sentences to life in prison.
Now, a judge's decision means that now 26-year-old Dassey could be free in just 90 days unless the state refiles the lawsuit.
Making A Murderer looked into the trials and interrogations of both Avery and Dassey and scrutinised portions of Dassey's meetings with law officials.

There was a clear lack of adult or legal representation in this meetings, which was highlighted in the documentary, and meant that Dassey, with his intellectual disability, seemed to place himself in the firing line, due to his inability to be consistent.
Both Avery and Dassey will continue to be the subjects of future episodes of Making a Murderer.

Avery is still serving his sentence with potential for his case to be appealed.
Outside of the court room, scientists have raised suspicions as to how blood and DNA may have been mishandled in the case. His former lawyers Dean Strang and Jerry Buting were hopeful that his case would be appealed in interviews following the show's release and success.

Could Obamacare be responsible for baseball's tarp game?
That was the word from the Chicago Sun-Times, which reported a cut in groundkeeper hours at the Chicago Cubs' home of Wrigley Field was responsible for the crew's inability to get a tarp on the field in a timely manner earlier this week.
The reason for the cutbacks: coverage requirements under the Affordable Care Act, the Sun-Times said, quoting unnamed sources. Cubs officials deny the claim, according to the story, but sources say groundskeepers are being limited in the time they work in order to keep them under the 30-hour workweek. That's the threshold beyond which companies must provide health coverage for their workers.
A cloudburst in the middle of Tuesday's game between the Cubs and San Francisco Giants left the grounds crew scrambling to get the tarp on the field. Crew supervisors had told a number of groundskeepers to go home earlier in the night, thus leaving a small contingent unable to get the heavy tarp over Wrigley's infield. Their struggles can be seen in the video embedded above.
After four hours of a rain delay, officials called the game and said the field was unplayable. With the Cubs ahead 2-0, the game was awarded to them. A protest from the Giants reversed all that, however, as they won the first successful Major League Baseball protest of its kind since 1986.
But that was the limit of Obamacare's effect, if any, on the game. The two teams came back to finish the game Thursday and Chicago still prevailed 2-1. If it's any consolation to San Francisco fans, the Giants did win the regularly scheduled nightcap.

Mortgage bankers risk their own capital to fund loans and therefore do not have to disclose the price at which they sell mortgage to another company. Mortgage brokers, on the other hand, earning the same yield spread premium disclose the additional fee to the consumer because the yield spread premium becomes an additional fee earned and therefore discloseable under federal and state law.

Well, Jean and I have been busy forming our designs for Bell Towers' Strolling Flower Show held this last Thursday and Friday. I spent last week-end searching for bright orange yellow gladiolus. All I could find were pink or white ones.
At the local Farmer's Market, I was told only the white and pink were available because the other colors froze. I called Zipperers, one of the biggest dealers around, people I knew, that had huge acres of gladiolus and I had bought their glads many years ago when I ran a floral shop. They were very well known for their beautiful flowers.
I called, and was informed; "They are no longer in the gladiolus business. Government regulations had put them out of business."
This is a "once upon a time" story; Lee County was once the Gladiolus Capital of the World. Glads were in the official seal. Originally, Southwest Florida was best known as an agriculture region with cattle and gladiolus fields. In the decade between 1997 and 2007, the county went from having 50,833 agriculture acres to 32,175 according to the 2002 Census of Agriculture.
As land, homes and condos became more profitable than flowers, we began to lose our glads. Gladiolus Drive in south Lee County, off of McGregor Boulevard, was so named for all the fields of gladiolus produced on the lands it bordered. Going north off of Gladiolus to McGregor Boulevard is A&W Bulb Road , so named for the A&W Bulb Company, one of the major glad bulb growers in South Fort Myers in the mid 20th century.
During this time, Fort Myers was known as the gladiolus farm capital of the world. Early settlers who had come from Belgium, the Netherlands and Luxembourg brought the gladiolus here. Our rich soil and climate proved very favorable and beneficial to growing glads.
These farms prospered until developers wanted the land. As the land around here was sold off to builders for development, land became more valuable than the flowers. The gladiolus capital was no more. So it stands as a testament that, glads will grow here successfully.
In my first years here, I worked in a nursery with a gal who lived off of Pine Island on Bridlewood Court. She tended a lovely garden of gladiolus that she had retrieved from the large fields on the way into her home. There had been gladiolus fields growing up there, so she saved the ones that would pop up here and there.
Stephen Brown, extension director and horticulture program leader agent, has an interesting video on You Tube about the glads being raised at Lakes Park by master gardeners in 2010. Since you can plant the bulbs anytime of the year here, these were planted in March 2010 and by May there were rows of color. His summary was-gladiolus production was once a viable commercial industry in Lee County ... gladiolus can be planted anytime of the year ... flowers are expected to last 60 to 90 days after planting from corms ... disease problems may occur in wet weather.
The needs for glad growing are, as much sun as possible in 8 to 11 Zones, planted a foot apart. They can tolerate most soils, but do best in a well drained 6.5 and 6.8 ph soil. Plant the bulbs 6 inches deep, about 2 to 7 inches apart. Include sand in the soil mix , which is about what we already have, and give them space to grow.
Don't let them compete with tree or shrub roots, or walls. Put down fertilizer in planting area, 10-10-10, with a minimum of 1 inch of water a week and a water-based fertilizer must be watered into the soil. Keep them out of strong winds. The can be staked when 8 inches tall.
The gardeners in zones 6 and colder need to dig up the bulbs (called corms by knowledgeable people) in the fall; zones 7 and 8, apply a thick layer of mulch to protect the bulbs from light freezes. After blooming, don't cut green foliage until leaves turn yellow/brown, then, cut them to the ground. Green stalks produce food for next year, this boosts bulb growth. You can leave the bulbs in the ground.
Gladiolus is commonly referred to by its Genus name - Gladiolus. Because of its sword-like leaves, it is called the Sword Lily or Corn Lily. Gladiolus means, "little sword." Ancient Romans called their swords gladius. It is a member of the iris family.
Grown from bulb-like forms called corms, they are not true bulbs. There are 260 species: 10 native to Eurasia and 250 native to South Africa, with more than 10,000 cultivars.
Glads were first brought to Europe in the late 17th century, then, flooded Europe in the 18th century. Glad cultivars were most likely crossbred from 7 species native to South Africa. True blue is the only color not available.
Parts of the glad are poisonous, and allergic reactions can come from handling. In many parts of the world, glads are thought of as funeral flowers. It is the birth flower for August and for 40th anniversaries.
The Coccoloba Chapter of Florida Native Plant Society will be having a Native Plant Sale today from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Riverside Park, 27300 Old 41 Road, Bonita Springs. Free one gallon Florida slash pine with orders over $10.
Joyce Comingore is a master gardener, Fort Myers/Lee County Garden Council member, hibiscus enthusiast and member of the Garden Club of Cape Coral.

Caltrans Finishes New Lanes on Interstate 5 in Shasta County to Improve Safety and Reduce Congestion
REDDING – Caltrans today announced it has completed a $16.5 million project that added new lanes for trucks and other slow-moving vehicles on Interstate 5 between Cottonwood and Anderson in Shasta County. The project was primarily funded ($14 million) by Proposition 1B, a $19.9 billion-dollar transportation bond approved by voters in 2006. To date, the state has allocated more than $9 billion in Proposition 1B funds.
"This project will enhance safety and reduce congestion by allowing slower-moving vehicles to travel in the climbing lane without slowing traffic behind them," said Acting Caltrans Director Malcolm Dougherty.
In addition to new truck-climbing lanes, Caltrans also resurfaced nearly 14 lane-miles of highway pavement within the project limits.
The project was a partnership between Caltrans, the Federal Highway Administration, and the Shasta County Regional Transportation Planning Agency.

Military plane makes emergency landing in Mass.
CHICOPEE, Mass. (AP) — A U.S. military transport plane that lost cabin pressure while flying over the Atlantic Ocean has made an emergency landing at its home base in western Massachusetts.
Master Sgt. Tim Huffman says the C-5B plane that was traveling from Germany to Dover Air Force Base in Delaware landed safely at Westover Air Reserve Base in Chicopee just before 2:30 p.m. Saturday.
The base says a young woman was taken to a local hospital with a minor injury.
The plane lost cabin pressure at 34,000 feet shortly after 11 a.m. while flying from Ramstein Air Base with 25 passengers and crew.
The incident prompted the military to deploy emergency vehicles at Pease Air National Guard Base in Portsmouth, N.H.; Hanscom Air Force Base in Bedford, Mass.; and Westover Air Reserve Base.

Looking at the date of my last post I think I have to be a bit more active - but I am always busy in the kitchen...The Christmas period went really well with lots of normal suppers, some private parties and even a little corporate Christmas Dinner. And now January is almost over - time flies. There were a few birthday's and of course the usual dinners with a great mix of people and good food. I am getting a bit lazy though with the picture taking. And now Valentine's Day is approaching and there will be the first Singles Dinner at the WhiteRoom - and believe it or not so far I have more guys then girls interested - so come on girls, don't be shy and come to join a lovely bunch of people on the 14th. Another thing to mention - I can now do private functions for up to 16 people - so if you have a birthday coming up or anything else you want to celebrate - get in touch.

|Poulin 300 Years Anniversary Book
More psychic roots: further adventures in serendipity & intuition in genealogy
Poulin's first move to Canada was Claude Poulin, baptized in 1615, son of Pascal Poulin and Marie Levert, Saint Maclou Rouen, Normandy, France. In the dictionary of Bishop Tanguay, place of origin and the names of father and mother of Claude Poulin are not shown; the following information regarding the first high Poulin were supplied to me by Vaillancourt, in his book entitled "The conquest of Canada by the Normans. "
Claude Poulin arrived in Quebec in the afternoon of June 1636 The Feast of St. Barnabas. Here is what "The Relation" of the Jesuits in this matter:
"In the afternoon the same day (another vessel having arrived with the Governor Montmagny) there appeared on the river another ship, this ship of Mr. Courpon had several new families who swelled the colony. It was a subject where there was to praise God, to see young ladies in these countries very delicate, small children out of a prison tendrelets wood as the day emerges from the shadows of the night, to enjoy, after so many months of passage, also a gentle healthy, notwithstanding all incomodités we receive in these floating houses, as if we had walked the course in a carriage. "
According to the Abbe Ferland who recounts the words of Father L. Young just mentioned, the vessel of Sieur Etienne was Courpon Racine, Robert Caron and Claude Poulin were among the first settlers of the coast of Beaupré and whose descendants number in the thousands, especially considering alliances.
Note that this is the Normandy we came more settlers, they were all owned by people of integrity"...
Have a nice day!

The 8.1 L engine is the biggest gasoline engine made by Volvo Penta and it is offered both with the stern drive package and in the IPS550 system. The 8.1GiE is a modern engine with electronic fuel injection and electronic control for faster engine response and safe starting in all weather. A truly robust design and an advanced monitoring system help to ensure reliability.
It is a 42% increase in engine displacement over the 5.7 L model, but this model yields only 17% more horsepower. That is because Volvo has de-tuned this engine for fuel economy and longer life.
The Duoprop drive with twin counter-rotating propellers delivers unbeatable acceleration and handling under all operating conditions. Power steering and trim are standard.
In tests we have conducted on the 26'5" (8.05 m) Doral Venezia powered by a single Volvo Penta 8.1 L engine she had a top speed of 47.8 mph. Best cruise was at 3000 rpm where she went 29.1 mph and got 2.51 miles per gallon.

On the surface, the news that a complaint has been filed against Florida Marlins wunderkind outfielder Miguel Cabrera for an incident outside a Venezuela club seems pretty rote, just another athlete "scuffle" at a bar. But the story from the Ft. Lauderdale Sun-Sentinel confuses us so much we can't help but point it out. It appears to have been written using some '80s-era translation program. Witness the following phrases:
• "Cabrera is embroiled in an incident ..."
• "Accused of lambasting a patron after an argument ..."
• "Cabrera is accused of becoming physical when Carlos Agreda disembarked his car ..."
• "'I understand that of all the people there I was probably the most recognizable, and maybe that's why I'm being included without having any responsibility whatsoever in said incident.'" (Actual quote from Cabrera.)
• "Agreda said Cabrera ultimately turned his verbal ire toward him."
We've read this story four times, and we still have no idea what happened. How can someone accuse you of lambasting them?
