"And how many adolescents do you have?" Doug Coatsworth asks, leaning back in his chair with a knowing smile. Clearly, he can tell from my expression that I am having no problem relating to the topic at hand: emotionally charged interchanges between parents and teens. Although my three kids are over 18 and "semi-launched," those tense parenting moments from the not-very-distant past are all too memorable.
Coatsworth is co-leader of family science and intervention programs and the Program on Empathy, Awareness, and Compassion in Education (PEACE) initiative at Penn State's Prevention Research Center. He is the principal investigator for a study that uses mindfulness techniques to help parents monitor their thoughts and feelings while they're interacting with their adolescent children.
"When parents get caught up in that moment — and any parent of a pre-teen or teen knows this — they can slip into familiar patterns that lead to escalating emotions and lost tempers," he says. "Mindfulness involves training your mind in ways that allow you to step back, slow down, and be really present to what is happening — to note your thoughts and emotions with a sense of dispassion. We work with parents to get them out of their heads and into their lives."
When parents and kids can talk to each other without succumbing to escalating emotions, their relationship will benefit — and that, Coatsworth and his colleagues, Mark Greenberg, Larissa Duncan and Rob Nix, believe, can reduce the risk that adolescents will get involved in dangerous activities like drinking, drugs and sex.
Coatsworth's mindfulness study is one of many projects under way through Penn State's Prevention Research Center. Established in 1997 with an endowment by alumna Edna Bennett Pierce, the center is the largest of its kind in the nation. It also is recognized as one of the best. "What sets us apart is our broad range of focuses," says acting director Ed Smith. "While we're similar to other prevention centers in that we promote effective programs and work in communities to ensure they're being done well, we incorporate a strong research component."
At one end of the center's spectrum of activity is basic child development research — how children's brains develop, how parents, peers and teachers can influence that development, and what can derail normal growth and maturation. "This part of our work doesn't involve any programs or interventions," says Smith. "It's purely about understanding — whether it's early childhood, adolescence or early adulthood. Then the other extreme is about delivery. We've applied our understanding to a program, we've tested that program and know it works, and now we want to figure out the best way to deliver it."
What happens in the middle — testing a program to find out if it works — is key to the Prevention Research Center's mission. Prevention programs are delivered on a full scale only after they've been proven effective through clinical trials and evaluation. "Whatever the objective — be it reduced substance use or reduced fighting and aggression — we keep tinkering until we think we have the right product," Smith says. "Only after we've published our findings and they've been reviewed and critically assessed do we promote our programs."
In its 15 years of existence, the Prevention Research Center has evolved along with advances in prevention science, a relatively new field that grew out of a shift in thinking about public health. The release of the 1964 Surgeon General's report that alerted the nation to the health risks of smoking was the impetus for this shift. The report suggested that, in addition to traditional public health measures — such as administering immunizations and monitoring drinking water — changing people's behavior could help them live longer and healthier lives.
"How do you push for those behavioral changes?" Smith says. "Therapy is one way, but it's costly and it's done on an individual basis. Plus you're waiting until the person develops a problem before you intervene. A growing number of professionals started seeing a common thread tying together many fields: psychology, epidemiology, psychiatry, social work. That thread is promoting well-being and preventing disorders, and this is how prevention science emerged."
With support from the National Institutes of Health and its National Institute on Drug Abuse, as well as the National Institute on Childhood Health and Human Development, the National Institute on Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism, and the National Institute on Mental Health, the Prevention Research Center continues to expand its breadth of programs and projects. Here's a sampling:
Talking to teens about drinking
"When it comes to teen drinking, there's a traditional view that parents don't have much of an impact, but here's the deal — they do," says psychologist Rob Turrisi. "Evidence shows that when parents intervene in the right ways, they can affect their teens' decisions to drink."
Turrisi developed a program for parents on how to communicate with teenagers about dangerous drinking, with a focus on college freshmen leaving home for the first time. His research shows that a number of factors are especially relevant when parents communicate with their teens: Teens need to believe their parents are giving them good advice, and they need to believe their parents are looking out for their best interest. As well, it's important for the teen to see the parent as available and accessible. "A teenager who sees his parent as being too busy and generally unavailable won't seek out that parents' advice," Turrisi says.
Communication style matters, too. When parents talk with their kids, it's important for them to show empathy and understanding, stay calm and relaxed, and be clear, direct, responsive, and supportive. Finally, after parents convey their expectations about drinking, they need to follow up to see if those expectations are being met, and then respond in a way that keeps communication channels open.
"Other approaches simply encourage a conversation or two, but they don't show parents how to follow up," Turrisi says. "Parents who use our program learn how to 'check in' to see if what they talked about is being translated into action and then what to do after the check-in. Our approach encourages parents to be vigilant. And if they put all this into practice, their discussions with teens will be that much more effective."

Bullies and brain activity
Watching kindergarteners watch cartoons can help scientists understand aggressive behavior. Neuroscientist Lisa Gatzke-Kopp is interested in how young children's brains are organized, and in a recent study of kindergarteners in the Harrisburg (Pa.) School District she and her colleagues compared aggressive children, who get into fights easily or bully others, to nonaggressive kids. "We wanted to find out how aggressive children experience and manage their emotions — would it be different from the methods their nonaggressive classmates use?" says Gatzke-Kopp.
The researchers collected teacher ratings of each child's behaviors, including aggression, disobedience and self-control. They also brought in a mobile research laboratory to measure the children's heart rate, skin conductance and brain activity while they were watching cartoon video clips depicting fear, sadness, happiness and anger. The goal was to see how both the aggressive and the nonaggressive children reacted to different emotions, and whether those reactions are linked to aggression.
The team found that 90 percent of the aggressive kids in the study fell into one of two categories: They were either low in verbal ability, or they were more easily aroused physiologically. "The kids with lower verbal ability have a harder time extracting what other people are feeling," Gatzke-Kopp says. "They don't have a nuanced sense of emotions — everything is either happy or sad to them — so they might not be good at seeing how their behavior is making another child feel. Because they have a hard time communicating verbally, hitting is the easier solution when they're frustrated."
The second group of kids, who were more physiologically aroused, might have trouble distinguishing between a minor annoyance and a major threat. They are more apt to act on impulse, easily losing control of their behavior.
"Kids who hit their classmates when they're frustrated or disrupt the class are at especially high risk for long-term consequences, including delinquency, violence, dropping out of school, abusing substances, and even suicide," Gatzke-Kopp says. "Research tells us that the earlier we can intervene, the better the chances of getting these children back on track. This study shows us there are different underlying causes for problem behavior, and we might need different types of treatments to change that behavior."
Yoga for kids
The words "yoga class" probably don't evoke a group of inner-city ten-year-olds practicing poses and breathing. But it's happening in Baltimore, as part of the Prevention Research Center's PEACE component. PEACE encompasses a broad range of programs that share the goal of promoting health and well-being in children, youth and families through awareness, compassion and empathy. One of those programs, led by psychologist Mark Greenberg, focuses on teaching yoga and mindfulness techniques. With partners from Johns Hopkins University and the Holistic Life Foundation — a Baltimore-based nonprofit organization that initiates human and environmental health programs — Greenberg and colleagues set up the program in four Baltimore public schools.
The idea was to try yoga as a way of helping fourth and fifth graders from low-income families deal with stress by building self-regulation skills. "Poverty is stressful, and stress can impair kids' ability to regulate their thoughts and emotions," says Greenberg. "Yoga can help."
Classes started with yoga positions, so the kids could be active, then ended with stillness and silence. Although kids weren't sure what to make of the whole thing at first, they caught on quickly. Says Greenberg, "We began to see them really having fun with the poses and then becoming relaxed and quiet — abnormally quiet!"
A pilot study shows that after completing yoga classes, kids were at lower risk for developing anxiety and depression because they were better at managing their thoughts and emotions. In particular, kids reported lower levels of emotional arousal, intrusive thought patterns, and rumination (thinking about the same thing over and over). Currently, a second, larger study is under way to expand the project and measure more factors, including improvement in overall health and well-being.
Caring for teachers
Another program that falls under the center's PEACE initiative focuses on teachers. Prevention scientist Patricia Jennings and her colleagues Christa Turksma and Richard Brown created a professional development program for teachers in collaboration with the Garrison Institute, a not-for-profit organization that explores the intersection of contemplation and engaged action in the world. CARE for Teachers (Cultivating Awareness and Resilience in Education) — shows teachers how they can use mindfulness techniques to slow things down in the midst of a hectic classroom.
"Being a teacher is challenging," Jennings says. "Teachers are under a lot of pressure to fulfill curriculum and testing requirements. They have to deal with their stress in a classroom in front of 20 or 30 kids, and they are not supposed to get angry. It's like having your brake and accelerator going at the same time, and it wears you out. In my own teaching days I remember being all too aware of how stress interfered with my ability to be present and teach in a way that allowed minds to open."
Combining mindfulness practices and emotional skills training, CARE has been demonstrated to work. A two-year pilot project shows that the program helps reduce various kinds of stress.
"I was particularly excited to see that teachers reported a sense of reduced time urgency," Jennings says. "We hear all the time that teachers feel they don't have enough time to get things done. But after participating in our pilot project, teachers told us — and they were actually amazed by this — that they felt a sort of psychological space. I think what happens when you're under time pressure is that you spend so much time thinking about what you have to do that you're not doing it. By deliberately slowing down, teachers perceived they had more time and were accomplishing more."
Fighting boredom
"I'm bored." It's a common refrain among kids, and apparently it's not just an American thing. Prevention scientist Ed Smith and his wife, Linda Caldwell, professor of recreation, park, and tourism management, are conducting a long-term study in South Africa, using school-based prevention techniques to reduce substance abuse and sexual risk among eighth and ninth graders. The study focuses on getting kids to make smart choices when it comes to their free time.
"South Africa has the highest rate of HIV/AIDS in the world and we're working with very high-risk, low-income populations," Smith says. "We think it's critical to reach teens with the message that they do have choices. When we started talking to these kids it became clear that teen boredom is a universal phenomenon. That sense of 'whatever' resonated so well with the South African kids."
Through role play and other activities, teachers delivering the program help kids recognize risky situations and come up with alternative things to do that are exciting but don't get them into trouble. "These kids don't have the option of learning how to scuba dive or skateboard," Smith says. "But we want them to realize they do have options. We've heard some kids say, 'Well, I never thought about hiking up Table Mountain.'"
Smith and Caldwell are in the 11th year of their study. They work with two South African universities to run the program in 48 high schools in former apartheid-era townships. Clinical trials show the program works as a school curriculum — teens that were followed through 11th grade reported less risky behavior. The next step is to adapt the program so that teachers can deliver it even more efficiently, and researchers are tweaking delivery variables such as training and support. Some teachers are simply handed the program, others get an afternoon training, and still others get a two-day, in-depth training. Similarly, some teachers receive support via text message or personal visit, while others are on their own. This research design, developed in conjunction with Linda Collins (Methodology Center) and John Graham (Biobehavioral Health), employs cutting edge methods to solve real-life problems.
"It's complicated because we end up with this huge matrix of who is getting what," Smith says. "But our purpose is relatively simple: We want to take this program, which we now know is effective, and maximize its efficiency and cost/benefit ratio. Is the enhanced training and support worth the cost? Will we see more changes in kids' behavior as a result? We'll find out.
"And I'll be honest with you — this is the best thing I've done in my life. You can't do anything bigger or more impactful than this. We're having an effect on kids' health, and that's exciting."

|Short review: This internet-site is like a shugging smorgasbord of extreme hard-core. It's definitely not for the faint of heart. During my brief stay I saw tons of gang bangs, bukakke, fistings, even some speculum play. And if you enjoy the casual golden shower, then you're in for a real treat, because old Zoli seems to have a major weewee fetish. There's a lot of urinating in oral cavities going on here. Honestly, I'd pay the every month fee just to get access to this internet site, nevermind the mammoth net and 20+ bonus websites. Plus, these cats reward loyalty. After just 4 months of membership, your each month rate is reduced to $9.95 per month. This is one of the great deals going.

Some new artwork and an adorable featurette have popped up online for the A&E adaptation of Stephen King's "Bag Of Bones". The mini series tells the story of a grief stricken father dealing with the loss of his wife while dealing with a bitter custody battle. As you might expect the show takes place in Maine, which if you haven't visited before I suggest you drop what you're doing and head there now. The foliage... I can't even to begin to describe the foliage.
Ron Jeremy and Linnea Quigley star in a new film "Girls Gone Dead" which just so happens to have a new poster available for viewing. I'm not sure there's any other information you really need to know about the movie. Alright fine... I'm a giver. The flick tells the story of a group of college students going wild on spring break while a serial killer roams the area surrounding their vacation home. See, you're still focusing on the porn stars aren't you.
I think it would be a hoot to see Vince McMahon at the Oscars but I'm not going to hold my breath. But maybe, just maybe, the WWE funded "No One Lives" which revolves around a group of criminals who find themselves hunted by a killer will get some Oscar buzz. There's little to no chance of that ever happening but a gal can dream can't she.
I love me a Zombie comedy. Alright I really liked "Shaun of the Dead", the others I've seen have been kind of crap. But here's some new stills from "Dead Before Dawn 3D", which has none other than piranha expert Christopher Lloyd on it's cast list. I'm willing to be open minded here. But that's just the kind of guy I am.

The Gorillas or Kourilas at a height of 1658 m is one of the biggest mountains in Thesprotia. In comparison to other mountains of Epirus it is a low mountain. Therefore, since it is mainly steep, it lends itself for difficult mountain climbing activities. The mountain is full of paths which were created by the obstinate inhabitants of the area with the passage of centuries.
A starting point for someone to walk through the mountain can be either Paramythia, which is built at its foot, or one of the villages of Kariotis and Chysavgi, at a short distance from Paramythia- the center of the area.
The best time of year to climb the mountain is at the end of spring.
Then, apart from the breathtaking view of the plains of Paramythia, you will enjoy the scent of tea in bloom.
The taverns of Chrysavgi (Velianis) amongst the plane tress and running waters are well known. Therefore, you will not have any problem getting a bite to eat. Nor will you experience any problem finding a place to sleep. Many agro-tourist lodgings are in operation.

Have you ever felt a cricket ball? It's hard—harder than a baseball. It can, and does, kill. Basically: it's no joke, and you're better off squealing and diving for cover than trying to make a play on a ball hit into the stands.
Brad Haddin was the lone bright spot for Australia, as they fell to Sri Lanka yesterday to even the series at one. Before he left with a hamstring injury, he put up a 50—including this screaming six into the Adelaide crowd. There, one fan returning from the concession stand calmly tucked his food under one arm, and shot up the other to make the grab. Judging from how awkwardly he tossed it back onto the pitch, I think he made the catch with his non-dominant hand.
Also, note the announcer at 0:57—he calls the fan "happy as a fat spider," which is maybe the most Australian expression ever.

When the 2013 Africa Cup of Nations commenced last month, three young starlets were expected to shine in South Africa.
Younes Belhanda, star of Montpellier's improbable Ligue 1 title win in 2012, and Porto's Christian Atsu failed to seize the moment and truly emerge. But Victor Moses finds himself on the doorsteps to immortality as 170 million Nigerians turn to him to seal glory.
The tournament thus far has been a microcosm of Moses' career. Early promise created scintillating anticipation across Nigeria, as a nation heralded the twinkle-toed forward, who had been inducted into the international scene as the figurehead of Stephen Keshi's revolution.
Then, reality set in as stodgy, stubborn defences, and the pragmatism of international football prevented the Lagos-born attacker from stealing the show for the Super Eagles.
A subdued opening to the Cup, a tournament that struggled to spark early on, threatened to dampen the goodwill that surrounded Keshi's troops, including his most-prized asset. Eventually, the sublime talent and supreme ability shone through, and Moses is on the cusp of greatness with the west African powerhouse.
The breakthrough came against Ethiopia, when he was the catalyst in a famous victory; the difference between progression and elimination.
Struggling to find a breakthrough, and labouring to a 0-0 draw, Moses employed two of the qualities that made him so coveted in his early days. His magnificent close control and searing pace were too much for the besieged defence to contend with.
| Group Stages
v Burkina Faso
v Zambia
v Ethiopia
Quarter Final
v Cote d'Ivoire
Semi Final
v Mali
As Nigeria upped the ante, their secret weapon surged to the fore. Twice Moses was too direct, too intense, for his inexperienced opposition, twice the Ethiopians were forced into fouls inside their penalty area, and twice the Chelsea man stepped up to the spot and dispatched the kick with an aplomb usually associated with men 10 years his senior.
'Moses leads to the Promised Land' – the headline was written even before the final whistle.
Whilst this game demonstrated his ability to terrify and to bewilder, the subsequent contests were evidence of a subtler side to his game, the mature qualities of the 22-year-old.
Few spoke of Nigeria's superstars in the build up to the side's clash with Cote d'Ivoire in the quarter-final. It was the tournament favourites, the Golden Generation, who dominated the previews, while Moses merely received a line or two; a menace to Ethiopia, sure, but likely to be squeezed out by the composure and experience of the Elephants.
He was once again influential – the Ivorians struggled to deal with his direct running and ferocious dribbling. Yaya Toure's first-half shoulder-barge demonstrated the discomfort the youngster caused. While Emmanuel Emenike and Sunday Mba stole the show, Moses was a constant thorn in the opponents' side, persistently prompting and provoking with his ambition and his ability.
Unlikely progression was celebrated across the nation, as Keshi's youthful outfit grew in stature and confidence.
The semi-final against Mali presented similar magnitude and equivalent pressure, the like of which would make lesser figures crumble and desist. No-one in the Nigerian camp could have been ignorant of the immense challenge that lay ahead – but few would have ignored the significance of the occasion either.
The battle was another watershed for the inexperienced side. This was not victory snatched from the jaws of failure, nor was it the unlikely upset of a lethargic, complacent superpower. It was a demolition, a rout, 3-0 up at half-time, 4-1 at full-time, a true coming-of-age for Keshi's men.
And Moses was at the heart of it.
His deft wing-play, delicious footwork, and delectable cross produced Nigeria's first goal, his endeavour affording left back Elderson with an unmissable opportunity to head them into the lead. Moses was also the architect for the side's second goal, his inventive running and visionary passing forging an opening for his strikers to profit.
Regardless of the result in the final, this tournament, and Moses's performances in the latter stages, have catapulted the Chelsea man into the continental spotlight. His performances in the knockout rounds, against west African heavyweights, have finally underlined a talent that has threatened to emerge for years.
In the beginning of January, Moses departed Stamford Bridge as a bright prospect, a prodigal hope for west Africa's fallen giants, he returns a man; a composed and established individual, capable of bewitching the most composed of defences, and of drawing blood from the tightest of back lines.
Victory, however, may well propel Moses into the upper echelon of Africa's pantheon of Greats.

This UFO tease has been out on the web for a little over a year. Generally I shy away from Roswell discussions due to the muddied water effect that has accumulated over the past decade rendering any understanding of the case as a gross exercise in futility that leads to an unhealthy trip towards the realm of obsession.
Tony Bragalia has posted on Kevin Randle's blog, "A Different Prospective", an article stating that slides purported to be that of extraterrestrial aliens will be unveiled in Mexico City on May 5, 2015. The slides supposedly will show humanoid bodies that were recovered from a crashed UFO near Roswell back in 1947. The Roswell case is well known so I'll not go into any details.
Tony is of the opinion that the slides have a definite link to Roswell. He provides background as to how the slides surfaced...that in itself is interesting and raises some questions concerning authenticity. The slides are said to have been produced from vintage 1947 Kodak film...this has also raised numerous questions concerning authenticity.
As far as my take on this issue, I'll await the big unveiling later in May. I see no need to render an opinion based on something that I've not seen. That's not to mean that others have withheld their opinions and speculations as a quick look at the comment sections on Randle's blog and Rich Reynold's "UFO Conjectures" shows a varied range of such.
The only questions that I have is why Mexico City was chosen? What's the significance of this venue? Roswell is a slice of Americana folklore and it appears to be like everything else...out sourced to a foreign landscape.
Update: Reading my emails, Brit, Christopher Allan, pretty much nails it...the slides must definitively show that the photos were taken during the first week of July 1947, otherwise it proves nothing.
Reading the comment section of Kevin Randle's blog, it appears that the best that can be said of the slides is that they where imaged using 1947 Kodak stock. It is extremely doubtful that the slides will be pinpointed to a specific date in 1947. The theory being proffered by the slide proponents is that most people would have used up the film within weeks or months after purchase...I've seen no supporting statistics to bear this out.

12.12V under no load is a discharged/fubared battery IMHO.
50% duty cycle (45 degrees dwell set to 4 cylinder) suggests either your o2 sensor is shot or your mixture is so far out that it doesn't know where to start to try to correct it, so it defaults to mid scale.
I'd make double sure that battery of yours is OK then I'd measure the base ignition advance.

What Silicon Valley companies are doing the best job of attracting talent? This turns out to be a complicated question, not to mention great fodder for bored designers to try to answer visually.
Recently an infographic started making the rounds, showing the ratios of employees moving between six top tech companies. This was published on the blog of a social job referral service called Top Prospect, generated using two years of their data. The story they told was one of small, up-and-coming companies poaching talent from more established companies.
A designer (Gene Lu) took issue with the fact that all the flow arrows were given equal weight, masking some important relationships. He did a nice redesign adapting the original to paint a clearer picture. The flow lines scaled to volume do a much better job of visually showing who the winners and losers in the "talent war" are.
However, there's a more fundamental problem with the data underlying both these interpretations. Here's a hypothetical to highlight the issue: Let's say we have two equally-awesome companies looking to hire as fast as possible. They have the same low turnover rates of 1% per year. However, one company is much larger than the other. Company A has 10,000 people and Company B has 1,000. After a year, 10 people will have moved from B to A, but 100 people will have moved from A to B. So, even with everything being equal, the natural movement of people in the workforce automatically gives the smaller company a 10x ratio of hires.
This makes some intuitive sense. Even a large company that's doing well will have a huge number of employees leaving in any given year. Having some of those people end up at a smaller company isn't all that surprising.
So, I decided to run the numbers again, but this time scaling all the ratios according to the number of employees at each company. You can see the calculations on this spreadsheet. The resulting graphic is below.
This is a much different picture. Microsoft, with its huge employee base (almost 90k), is actually retaining its people quite well. It may seem to a small company like LinkedIn that tens or hundreds of ex-Microsofters showing up is a big trend, but to the Microsoft leviathan that's a drop in the bucket. Scaling the ratios by company size shows in fact that there are a disproportionate number of LinkedIn employees actually leaving for Microsoft.
Otherwise, the scaled ratios are all relatively small. Google, Facebook, and Apple are at close to parity. The only other big story here is a sad one, and that's the hemorrhaging of talent that Yahoo is undergoing.
Now, there are a lot of potential issues with this visualization as well. Is a linear scaling the correct way to adjust for company size? What about the base data itself? This data comes from Top Prospect's small, proprietary sample. Fast Company has noted that the data might be skewed since it's a Facebook-seeded referral service.
For these reasons and many others that I haven't anticipated, I actually generated the infographic you see above with a tool I cobbled together using standards-compliant HTML, CSS, and JS. It's up now. You can it to try out a different model or assumption, and generate new infographics.
For example, it was easy to pull Microsoft out and see the results right away. Enjoy!

Luis Valbuena came to the Cubs in 2012 off of the waiver wire, one of a dozen or so pickups the Cubs' had during the infancy of last season. Unlike most other wire pickups, though, Valbuena was a position player, and one that would see quite a bit of action in a Cubs' uniform in 2012.
Originally from the Mariners organization, Luis saw a cup of coffee with Seattle in 2008, until December 11, when he was part of a 3-team trade that involved an astonishing 13 players. Valbuena would spend a good amount of time in 2009 and 2010 with Cleveland, though he could never hit above .250/.298/.416 in either year. The Indians tired of his offensive deficiencies, and kept him in Columbus for the bulk of 2011. The Blue Jays purchased his contract in November of 2011, but they waived him and the Cubs picked him up.
In 2012, Luis spent the first third of the season in AAA, and he hit pretty well there. He earned an injury call-up after Stewart went down for the season, and stayed up the rest of the year, hitting .219/.310/.340, "good" for a .290 wOBA. He played above-average defense at the hot corner en route to contributing 0.9 WAR last year.
The Cubs did not upgrade at 3B this off-season, and Theo & Co. have decided to start Vitters in AAA next season. Valbuena and Stewart will be clashing for the starting spot; the loser will be the backup/utility infielder (if Stewart can handle 2B).
Valbuena is offensively-challenged in much the same way Darwin Barney is. Luis sports a career .283 wOBA and a .269 BABIP. These numbers suggest a lot of room for improvement, and luckily for Luis, there is some. A .269 BABIP is pretty low, and could easily climb to .290 or .300. Bill James projects a .295 BABIP for Valbuena next year, the primary driver for a wOBA of .320, which I think anyone would take from Valbuena (or 3B in general) at this point.
Valbuena doesn't have much power, especially from 3B, but he has slightly above-average plate discipline and he doesn't strike out more than average. He's not fast an a poor baserunner, but the Cubs' FO minimizes those parts of the game anyway, so it's not a complete worry.
Valbuena played pretty good defense at third last year, but before 2012 he had been known basically as defensively inept. He can play 2B/SS/3B/LF, all fairly badly, but passably enough. If the gains from 2012 are real (and defensive metrics take YEARS to have enough data to show trends), he could carve out a little career as a backup infielder that can draw a walk. If he can't, he's a AAAA guy.
Valbuena has three paths to sticking on a major league roster. Either he can realize his 2012 gains with the glove and stick around as a utility infielder, or he can bring up his offensive numbers to where you can live with his poor defense (still as a backup). Lastly, he can be on the Cubs, where we have no other real options. If Stewart never recovers from his wrist, the job is Valbuenas regardless of talent level. I'm not holding my breath that Valbuena will ever have a wOBA above .300, and I'm not holding my breath that he's suddenly become a defensive stalwart. Luis is organization filler; unfortunately for us, the hole he's filling in our organization right now might be "starting 3B."

Queer and Queerer Ep. 81 – Celibacy: Same Shameful Ingredients In A Shiny New Package
Zack and Peterson are back to talk about a new (old) product on the market: celibacy! Also known as "ex-gay lite." Since the ex-gay movement has largely crumbled in recent years and it's no longer convincing to argue that sexual orientation can be changed, conservatives are now encouraging gay, lesbian, and bisexual people to just not have sex. Given celibacy has its own theological history, does this new advocacy for embracing it measure up or is it just a different-looking outcome for sin-shaming? Also, Zack is one of the 40 under 40 and Peterson's got his eye on some new transgender television shows.

So how did it end? Well, Michigan displayed it's usual last minute heroics and drove the field to score the game tying touchdown with seconds left, assuming an automatic extra point from the kicker.
But wait....they didn't bring out the kicker. In stead, the offense is on the field and they are showing signs that they are going for two! Wow, they make it, it's a historic win, if they miss, well...they lose to rival Ohio State in dramatic fashion. I was at the game....the air got very thick in anticipation.
Ohio State not ready to handle a two point conversion, calls a timeout.
What does Coach Hoke do? Does he second guess his decision and put in his kicker knowing that Ohio State just burned their last timeout, knowing with in reason that this game has a very strong chance of going to overtime?
No. He turns to the Seniors and asks (paraphrased): "Men, what do you want to do?" Unanimously, they wanted to go for the WIN!
Of course, they go on to miss the conversion and Ohio State sneaks out of the Big House with a one point victory.
This week I have let the decision to go for two really sink in, along with the final outcome, and I have learned a lot about myself.
Mostly, I have learned that I am a "Go for Two" kind of guy. I pursue life wanting to take every moment to win right then and there, not hold out for a what-may-be victory. I want to seize it. I want to experience it...Now.
This can explain why I put my body through 3.5 years of treatment, including 7 cycles of a very nasty chemotherapy regiment, followed by back to back bone marrow transplants, 7 more cycles of chemo, followed up by maintenance chemotherapy.
This also explains why I am uneasy about seeing a trace amount of Myeloma in my blood. The current medical staff at UMCCC is not happy about the results, but there also isn't a sense of urgency, a sense that we need to go for two if you will.
I cannot escape my Go For Two personality. I want to win the Championship, I want to win the Big Game...I want to be cured of Multiple Myeloma.
So where does that leave us? Oddly enough, I will most likely return to Columbus soon, yes, The Ohio State, to get some of their thoughts and opinions on where they think I should head. I also anticipate a visit or two to see Dr. J in Chicago and and Dr. Barlogie in Arkansas. Simply put, these Doctors are my 'Seniors' who I go to when I have to make the decision of whether or not to go for two...although I am like Coach Hoke, I always want to go for the WIN!

Pakistani truckers for NATO go on strike
PESHAWAR, Pakistan (AP) — Truckers who carry supplies to NATO troops in Afghanistan have gone on strike in northwest Pakistan to protest lower pay, inadequate security and corrupt officials who demand bribes from the truckers, officials said Wednesday.
The supply route is an important lifeline for international forces in landlocked Afghanistan. The coalition ships a significant portion of its nonlethal supplies through Pakistan into southern Afghanistan. The other land route into Afghanistan through Central Asia and Russia is longer and more expensive.
The strike began in response to the government's decision to require truckers to go through authorized companies to carry NATO supplies instead of making individual deals with the government-run National Logistics Cell, said Jehanzeb Khan, head of a transport workers union in northwest Pakistan. The companies pay the truckers less, said Khan.
He also claimed the government was not providing adequate protection to the drivers from Taliban attacks, and each truck had to pay corrupt security officials about $165 in bribes to pass through the Khyber tribal area on the way to the border.
Khan said truckers in northwest Pakistan stopped carrying NATO supplies Wednesday, and he was reaching out to others throughout the country to get them to join the strike.
Haneef Khan Marwat, head of a transportation company in the southern city of Karachi, said some truckers began their strike as early as Jan. 4 and thousands of vehicles are involved. He said the strike would continue until the government reversed its new policy.
No trucks carrying NATO supplies crossed the northwest Torkham border on Wednesday, said local political official Tahir Khan.
Torkham is one of two crossings used to ship NATO supplies to Afghanistan.
Goods continued to move through the other crossing, Chaman, in southwest Pakistan, said clearing agent Mohammed Asghar.
Pakistan closed its Afghan border to NATO supplies for seven months in response to U.S. airstrikes that accidentally killed 24 Pakistani soldiers in November 2011. Pakistan finally reopened the route after the U.S. apologized for the deaths.
Also Wednesday, police said they arrested five Pakistani Taliban militants involved in the killing of two female polio workers in the southern city of Karachi in December. Senior police official Ghulam Shabbir Shaikh told reporters that the five militants are from the northwest Swat Valley and confessed to their participation in the killings, saying they believed the polio vaccine was meant to make Muslim children sterile.
Nine people working on an anti-polio vaccination campaign were shot and killed in Pakistan last month, five of them in Karachi and four in the country's northwest.
The Taliban have denied responsibility for the killings. But Islamist militants in Pakistan have opposed the vaccination campaign, claiming the health workers are spies and the vaccine would make children sterile.
Taliban commanders in Pakistan's troubled northwest tribal regions also said earlier this year that vaccinations can't go forward until the U.S. stops drone strikes in the country.
Pakistan is one of three countries in the world where polio is still endemic.
Associated Press writers Adil Jawad in Karachi, Pakistan, and Matiullah Achakzai in Chaman, Pakistan, contributed to this report.

It's been a bloody start to the Thanksgiving holiday with one man who tried to stop a fight between a husband and wife on Wednesday night stabbed to death and at least eight people — including a 15-year-old girl who suffered a gunshot wound to the head — wounded in shootings around the city since Wednesday afternoon.
William Terry, 55, was stabbed when he tried to intervene in an argument between a married couple in the Roseland neighborhood about 7:11 p.m. in the 10300 block of South Forest Avenue, authorities said. A man who was arguing with his wife took a kitchen knife and stabbed Terry multiple times throughout his body, police said.
Terry, of the 14100 block of South Tracy Avenue in Riverdale, was pronounced dead at Advocate Christ Medical Center in Oak Lawn, according to the Cook County Medical Examiner's office. The man who stabbed him fled the scene in a van, police said, and as of Thursday about noon he was not in custody. The offender's wife was not injured, police said.
The most recent shooting happened about 6:18 a.m. on Thursday in the West Side Austin neighborhood. The 46-year-old victim told police that he was walking in the 100 block of North Lorel Avenue when he heard the sound of gunfire, police News Affairs Officer Robert Perez said. The man started to run, felt pain in his arm, and realized he had been shot, Perez said. He was taken to Loretto Hospital, where his condition was stable, police said. He could provide police with no information on the shooter or shooters.
About 2:25 a.m. Thursday in the Wicker Park neighborhood, a man was shot twice in the legs, police said.
About 11 p.m. on Wednesday, an 18-year-old man was wounded in a drive-by shooting in the Englewood neighborhood, police said. A dark colored vehicle drove by the man in the 6400 block of South Normal Avenue and shots were fired, striking the man in the upper-right arm, police said. The man was listed in "stable" condition at John H. Stroger Jr. Hospital of Cook County.
About 9:35 p.m. Wednesday, a 15-year-old girl was shot in the head in the Washington Park neighborhood.
She was inside her home in the 1100 block West 104th Street when she was struck by a bullet shot from outside, police said. She was taken in serious condition to Christ Medical Center.
Earlier in the evening, a 23-year-old man and an 18-year-old woman were shot multiple times about 5:15 p.m. in the 6200 block of South Campbell, according to police. The woman was taken to Stroger Hospital and the man was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital, police said. Both were initially listed in serious condition.
Also Wednesday evening, a 21-year-old old man was shot in the right calf in the 4700 block of South Champlain, police said. He went to Mercy Hospital and Medical Center.
About 3:40 p.m. Wednesday, a 28-year-old man was shot in the foot in the 8700 block of South King Drive, police said.

Hereditary hemorrhagic telangiectasia (HHT), also known as Osler–Weber–Rendu disease and Osler–Weber–Rendu syndrome, is an autosomal dominant genetic disorder that leads to abnormal blood vessel formation in the skin, mucous membranes, and often in organs such as the lungs, liver, and brain, It may lead to nosebleeds, acute and chronic digestive tract bleeding, and various problems due to the involvement of other organs. Treatment focuses on reducing bleeding from blood vessel lesions, and sometimes surgery or other targeted interventions to remove arteriovenous malformations in organs. Chronic bleeding often requires iron supplements and sometimes blood transfusions. HHT is transmitted in an autosomal dominant fashion, and occurs in one in 5,000 people.
Telangiectasia (small vascular malformations) may occur in the skin and mucosal linings of the nose and gastrointestinal tract. The most common problem is nosebleeds (epistaxis), which happen frequently from childhood and affect about 90–95% of people with HHT. Lesions on the skin and in the mouth bleed less often but may be considered cosmetically displeasing; they affect about 80%.The skin lesions characteristically occur on the lips, the nose and the fingers, and on the skin of the face in sun-exposed areas. They appear suddenly, with the number increasing over time Treatment of HHT is symptomatic (it deals with the symptoms rather than the disease itself), as there is no therapy that stops the development of telangiectasias and AVMs directly.
Furthermore, some treatments are applied to prevent the development of common complications. Chronic nosebleeds and digestive tract bleeding can both lead to anemia; if the bleeding itself cannot be completely stopped, the anemia requires treatment with iron supplements. Those who cannot tolerate iron tablets or solutions may require administration of intravenous iron sucrose, and blood transfusion if the anemia is causing severe symptoms that warrant rapid improvement of the blood count. Most treatments used in HHT have been described in adults, and the experience in treating children is more limited. Women with HHT who get pregnant are at an increased risk of complications, and are observed closely, although the absolute risk is still low (1%)

"Insanity is doing the exact… same fucking thing… over and over again expecting… shit to change… That. Is. Crazy." ~Vaas, insane antagonist
If you've watched or read any of the advertisements for Far Cry 3, then you likely remember this short quote used for comparison: "Like Skyrim with guns!" But let's be real here, people. That's Fallout 3. In fact, the better description would be "Like Fallout 3 but vice versa!" Okay, so maybe that wouldn't make for a great slogan, but that's the truth.
Instead of an open-world RPG with first-person shooter elements, Far Cry 3 is an open-world first-person shooter with RPG elements. Instead of complex NPC interaction with simple gunplay and stealth systems, it has simple NPC interaction with complex gunplay and stealth sytems. Instead of a world with few but narratively significant side quests, it has a world with numerous but narratively insignificant side quests.
Far Cry 3, first and foremost, is designed to be a playground for first-person shooter fans. This killing paradise is set in the fictional tropical archipelago of Rook Island, where every nook and cranny is filled to the brim with visually stunning flora and fauna and just as many animals and red-shirt pirates roaming the natural wonderland to be plucked from their digital existence. Best of all, this is a guilt-free zone: Nearly all of the pirates are immoral, semi-faceless pricks and nearly all of the predatory animals are dangerous killers who respawn anyway so there's no need to concern yourself about the fact that there are only about 3000 tigers left in the real world (you poacher, you).
As you might expect, the game's open-world design is at its best when you're unshackled by required objectives. Freely roaming about the mountainous slopes of Rook Island, diving into riverbeds, opening chests in dark corners, and exploring ancient ruins for relics, you will have plenty to keep yourself busy on that alone. Just open the map, pick a treasure or event, and fling yourself to the location by car, glider, or your own two feet. Along the way, you can collect leaves for crafting syringes and hunt animals for crafting equipment upgrades.
In between these bouts of exploration, your main objective is taking out every last pirate off your island. If you haven't unscrambled the map yet, it's a simple matter of getting to the rickety radio tower in the area, climbing to the top, flipping the switch, and ziplining down (shouting "Wee!" on the inside). It's much like the View Points in the Assassin's Creed series, which is no surprise since this game comes from the same developer. After repairing the radio tower, the next step is usually liberating any pirate outposts, which will stop pirates from spawning in the local area and will unlock various side quests for additional cash rewards. The outpost also becomes an stronghold for your allies as well as a fast travel waypoint for easy transporation throughout Rook Island.
Conquering outposts is by far the most satisfying experience in Far Cry 3. Tearing through like Rambo with grenades and a machine gun is but one legitimate way to overthrow an outpost, especially when stealthier approaches are rewarded with three times the experience points. So being ever the ninja, I usually tag enemies with a camera from a high perch which allows them to be identified and seen through walls. Then, crouching beneath the foliage, I snipe each foe in the head, waiting enough time between shots to remain undetected. Or I sneak up to the compound, throw rocks to lure guards out one by one, and stab each one in the throat.
On the downside, enemies sometimes have ridiculous vision and there's no way to drag bodies apart from a specific skill, which only allows you to drag an enemy right after he's killed. I'm also not sure why the button for looting bodies is the same one for taking a weapon off the ground. But despite these gripes, the gunplay is thrilling and challenging on any difficulty level.
Better yet, nearly every accomplishment is rewarded with cash for better weapons and attachments at a nearby store and experience points to earn skills from one of three tribal-inspired branches: Heron, Shark, and Spider. Skills improve your maximum health, sneaking ability, reload speed, and even takedown skills, where you can jam a machete in a pirate's neck and then use his knife as a projectile for another pirate's neck. That's just one of many moments that will make you feel like an unstoppable beast.
But the trouble with Far Cry 3 is that it mostly operates on the surface level, on that empowering sensation of being a badass and experiencing the oohs and aahs of exploration. This isn't to say that it's a lootfest or even that this aspect is a terrible thing (in fact, Borderlands 2 and Saints Row: The Third are among my favorites games), but that Far Cry 3 tries to be both fun and serious at the same time, which is a noble endeavor but fails in several regards.
The most pressing issue among these is the story, which I have purposely ignored up to this point. You're supposed to play as a stereotypical Californian teenager named Jason Brody who is incredibly extroverted and just one slanted word away from taking a whiff. Along with his friends and brothers, he decides to skydive above Rook Island (without Googling the place beforehand or else he would know how f***ed up it is) and everyone gets captured by the charismatically insane Vaas and his band of pirates. His Army-trained older brother, Grant, is able to free Jason from his cage but is ultimately murdered during the escape, forcing Jason to take his place as the older brother who must find and rescue his friends and younger brother.
The disconnect between Jason Brody and you, the player, becomes evident immediately. From the very start, Jason is timid about holding a gun because he's never held one and is genuinely averse to killing anyone to reach his goals. Then the next moment, you're nabbing headshots with a pistol, skinning bears, punching sharks in the face, and pumping bullets into enemies like it's going out of style. It's not until much later that Jason becomes one with his inner tribal warrior, but it's a surprise he doesn't feel that way after clearing half an island of pirates thanks to you. Sometimes you just want Jason to shut up and tell him, "Don't worry, dude, I've got this."
At the same time, the story missions stifle the freedom of the open world with restrictive objectives where you must use a specific gun, go to a specific perch, or follow a specific stealth method. Not always but much of the time, you're not allowed to think outside of the box or even leave the mission zone. Side quests must also be performed one at a time, when it would have been easy for them to have a freeform design.
Though the characters and NPCs are not deficient in personality, they are lacking in interactivity. The good news is that Vaas and a few of the major figures have superb voice-acting and memorable lines of dialogue during cut-scenes, but once you're outside of these scripted sequences, they usually don't have anything else to say. They act like static mannequins who dole out missions, which is a shame since their frequently twisted nature is begging to be examined and developed on a deeper level. The same goes for the drug sequences, which are amazing to look at and unquestionably stylish, but lack in emotional and lasting depth (which is kind of like a drug, when I think about it). Ultimately, it's difficult to care about Jason, the friends he's supposed to save, or the story in general when they're mainly vehicles for the gunplay and little else.
Compared to the game's living, breathing world for animals, where leopards and dingos chase down boars and other prey without needing any provocation, the world for NPCs is relatively vacant. All of the Rakyat warriors are expendable, repeat the same lines of dialogue, and often look exactly alike. Don't be surprised to sit down a poker table and find yourself betting against triplets who just happen to wear different clothing. Moreover, there are countless shacks that you think would be inhabited but are in fact empty.
There's an overaching sense of repetition (which Vaas would call insanity) that bleeds throughout the objectives. As enjoyable as it is to climb a radio tower, clear out the nearby outposts, and obtain all of the collectibles, these tasks are copied and pasted over about twenty areas. By the time you clear out the fourth squared-off area, the gameplay becomes predictable. And once you've cleared out all of the pirates from an area, the challenge drops significantly. Hopefully, the user-created map editor will help alleviate this.
The cooperative and multiplayer modes serve as solid distractions, both of which your online profile will share levels. The cooperative mode borrows the framework of Left 4 Dead, where up to four players act as one of four stereotypical characters (a Russian, a Scot, a old cop, and a strong black woman) and must eradicate pirates on their path to reclaiming money that was stolen from them. The multiplayer mode goes through the general motions of Team Deathmatch, Domination, and other match types, with the important caveat that reviving a friend cancels out a death, so sniping is less emphasized and working as a team is crucial. Both modes are worth playing for a while, but they're not the main attraction.
Playing Far Cry 3 in short bursts or actively distracting yourself with a mini-game will take your mind off its underdeveloped and restrictive story, but the tedium of its objectives still wears thin after a while. It's not a problem of "all style, no substance," but "all style, partial substance." That said, it's hard to deny its prowess for gunplay, exploration, and graphics, with the exception of minor pop-up issues and framerate drops. As long as you don't take the game as seriously as the game does, you'll be entertained. Just make sure you dismiss that Skyrim quote… as much as dragon-slaying would be just as awesome on Rook Island.

Matthias Jakob Schleiden, also spelled Matthias Jacob Schleiden, (born April 5, 1804, Hamburg [Germany]—died June 23, 1881, Frankfurt am Main, Germany), German botanist, cofounder (with Theodor Schwann) of the cell theory.
Schleiden was educated at Heidelberg (1824–27) and practiced law in Hamburg but soon developed his hobby of botany into a full-time pursuit. Repelled by contemporary botanists' emphasis on classification, Schleiden preferred to study plant structure under the microscope. While professor of botany at the University of Jena, he wrote "Contributions to Phytogenesis" (1838), in which he stated that the different parts of the plant organism are composed of cells or derivatives of cells. Thus, Schleiden became the first to formulate what was then an informal belief as a principle of biology equal in importance to the atomic theory of chemistry. He also recognized the importance of the cell nucleus, discovered in 1831 by the Scottish botanist Robert Brown, and sensed its connection with cell division. Schleiden was one of the first German biologists to accept Charles Darwin's theory of evolution. He became professor of botany at Dorpat, Russia, in 1863.

organizing products
At one of our recent job sites, our newest organizer Megan has a big challenge ahead of her - organizing several years of paper piles in an accounting department. However, for a HandyGirl Organizer, this "challenge" is more of a routine sorting process when it comes to paper clutter. Handling paper clutter can look like a daunting task for many people, yet all it really takes is to tackle such a project is to just tackle it! Our method starts with gathering all the paper piles into one area, then begin sorting through each paper pile as we categorize each document. The tools we use range from a hanging folder cart or box to a document sorter. Continue reading

In first House speech, Stewart calls for fiscal courage
In his first speech from the House floor, freshman Rep. Chris Stewart, R-Utah, called for the nation to "reclaim the moral and fiscal discipline" that made the United States a superpower with a burgeoning middle class.
Stewart gave his four-minute address late Tuesday night, calling the ongoing debate over the nation's deepening debt "a tipping point in our history," warning that a bankrupt nation can't protect its people, care for the needy or provide for its children.
"I really believe we are at one of those inflection points at which we will decide our future," he said.
Stewart, who represents Utah's 2nd Congressional District, also called for compassion, saying that word not only implies preserving the nation's social safety net but making it financially stronger, a direct appeal to Democrats who have resisted changes to Social Security and Medicare.
"Where is the compassion in creating so much uncertainty that our own children no longer have faith in their futures or in the social safety net that has been there for previous generations?" Stewart asked rhetorically. "If you believe in compassion and fairness, then help us fix these problems."
He conceded that President Barack Obama "won" the battle over a tax increase on the wealthy, but said the proceeds, roughly $60 billion each year, only makes a minimal dent in the nation's growing national debt, which now tops $16 trillion.
Stewart said it would take courage for the nation's political leaders to wrestle that debt to a sustainable level.
"That," he said, "is the only thing that can save us."

In 1825, Cyrus Clark opened a small business specialising in sheepskin products. Three years later, he was joined by his brother James and together they decided to make sheepskin slippers with the skin side out. By 1900, the family firm C&J CLARK LTD had become the number one English shoe manufacturer. From the 1930s, family members at the helm of the company travelled the world in search of new ideas. The post-war period marked a turning point in the brand's history with the launch of two legendary styles within ten years of each other. The Desert Boot, the brainchild of Nathan Clark and modelled on the boots his army officer friends bought in the bazaars of Cairo, soon became a great classic when it was launched in 1950. Then it was the turn of the Wallabee, another must-have best seller, which stepped out for the first time in the 1960s. Forty years on, Clarks Originals still boast inimitable style, timeless design and craftsmanship, and legendary comfort thanks in no small part to their genuine crepe soles. These qualities secured a bright future for Clarks Originals shoes — and were certainly made to last!
