At midyear we stop and reflect on where we are in relation to our goals. You will be looking at your employees' accomplishments and talking to them about the second half of the year. If you have an employee who is not quite where you would like them to be, what do you do? Start at the beginning and refocus.
All employees are given resources like money, training, equipment, and sometimes a team of their own to lead. These resources are an investment from their owner intended to fulfill the goals of the company. If the goals are not being met then the employee is spending the resources that were provided in areas that don't generate the expected return for the team or the company.
If you find that one of your team members is fully using every resource that you have provided but not generating the success that was expected, they are likely focused on the wrong goals. From the surface it often appears that they ignored the goals that you had for them and pursued other goals that achieved individual success but did not accomplish the purpose of your team.
Before you settle on the easy conclusion that this employee only cares about themselves, I suggest you follow the advice from Jim Collins, author of Good to Great. In essence he said, "In times of success great leaders look out the window to credit others, and in times of trouble great leaders look in the mirror to evaluate what they could have done better."
You see, people are very capable of generating success when provided adequate resources. Your job as the leader is to focus your team's strengths on successfully accomplishing the vision of the team.
Here are four questions to review together with each employee that is not on goal:
Do you understand the purpose of the team? If you have not fully defined the purpose of the team, your team has two choices; operate with no purpose or define their own purpose. Absent a clear purpose, the employee who is geared to success, will have chosen their own purpose. You are responsible for defining the purpose of the team so each employee will seek to accomplish the same end.
"You have to know where you're going. If you don't know where you're going, you'll never know if you've arrived," – Denis G. McLaughlin, The Leadership GPS
Do you understand how the vision achieves the purpose? Even if you have a clearly defined purpose for your team, there are many ways to achieve it. Your vision sets the route your team will take to reach its purpose. If you don't over communicate how your team will achieve its purpose than you aren't communicating enough. Left undefined, the employee will define their own vision.
"The very essence of leadership is that you have a vision. It's got to be a vision you articulate clearly and forcefully on every occasion. You can't blow an uncertain trumpet." – Theodore Hesburgh, as quoted in The Leadership GPS
Does you understand how what you do fits into the vision? Ok, so you have a clearly defined purpose and vision for your team. There is one more level of understanding you must focus on: taking the vision down to the employee level. The employee may struggle in seeing the connection between their individual goals and the larger vision and purpose of the team. Remember, employees are success driven, without this connection they will instead focus on what they think will help achieve the team's goals.
"Great leaders are almost always great simplifiers, who…offer a solution everybody can understand." – Colin Powell, as quoted in The Leadership GPS
Are you achieving personal success in accomplishing the success of the team? Each person is looking for personal satisfaction in their life and in their job. For your vision to be effective you have to set it in motion and it must have an immediate impact on your team members. With each success, they need to feel that their job satisfaction is improving, along with the purpose if the team being accomplished.
"Successfully achieving your team's purpose comes through a vision that consistently delivers small successes for each team member." – Denis G. McLaughlin, The Leadership GPS.

Study reveals how long we'd last in a zombie apocalypse
Were there ever to actually be a Walking Dead-style zombie apocalypse, most of the planet's human population would be wiped out in a mere 100 days, according to a new study published earlier this week in the University of Leicester's Journal of Physics Special Topics.
In fact, thanks to their creative use of the SIR model (a basic epidemiological model which is typically used to simulate how contagious diseases spread), a team of undergrad students at the university determined that each zombie had a 90% chance of finding and infecting at least one new victim each day, and that the undead could go 20 days without feeding on brains.Furthermore, according to CNET and LiveScience, the authors concluded a zombie would be able to survive 20 days, and that if just one of them was able to catch an estimated population of 7.5 billion humans people unaware, it would take less than three weeks for the walking dead to become a noticeable epidemic. After 100 days, there would be only a handful of humans left to deal with a zombie population of more than 190 million, the study determined.
However, the authors wrote that natural birth and death rates were omitted, as the short term of the anticipated zombie rendered them "negligible compared to the impact of the zombie virus over the short time frame." They also noted that they "have also not included the possibility for the humans to kill the zombies. Including this may give the humans a better chance at survival."
Odds of survival increase when we fight back and reproduce
Those might seem like pretty significant oversights, and as LiveScience noted, a more realistic model would likely assume that the odds that a zombie would be able to find "fresh meat" would likely decline as the number of surviving men and women began to plummet over time.
Fortunately, the Leicester researchers published a second paper addressing some of those issues. They started by increasing the zombie life span to one year, but gave each human a 10% chance of exterminating one of the undead every year and factored in human reproduction at a rate of a new infant being born to each reproductive-age female once every three years.
This altered scenario "made human survival more feasible," the study authors said in a statement. Once again, the human population experienced a significant drop off during the first 100 days of the zombie apocalypse. However, after 1,000 days, the zombies became extinct, and an estimated 10,000 days after the start of the apocalypse, the human population would start to recover.
"Every year we ask students to write short papers for the Journal of Physics Special Topics, Dr. Mervyn Roy, a lecturer in the university's Department of Physics and Astronomy, explained in a statement. "It lets the students show off their creative side and apply some of physics they know to the weird, the wonderful, or the everyday."
As LiveScience noted, this is hardly the first scientific exercise to focus on a potential zombie apocalypse. In December 2015, the British Medical Journal, used the spread of the undead as a way to raise awareness for how real-life pandemics spread, and the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) employed a similar tactic in a blog post of its own.

Singapore China Town
Chinatown Travel Blog› entry 22 of 23 › view all entries
August 17th, 2008 – by: andytite
After taking the meticulous underground system from Orchard Road, we headed for the Buddha Tooth Temple that we'd spotted previously. The temple is an imposing structure, towering above the neighbouring streets and shops, catching your eye and drawing your in. A procession of monks walked past us as we waited outside, jostling shoulders with the other tourists visiting the seething Chinatown markets packed with trinkets and souvenirs.
Once inside the temple is a contradiction. Everything, and I mean everything, is able to be sponsored. The money (so a polite sign informed us) goes towards the temple's work collecting more relics of Buddhism, and in providing education about the practices and history of the faith around the world. They can't be short of a bob or two. From the floor tiles to the decorations, the statues to the relics, the furnishings to the fixtures the devout (and wealthy) can sponsor an item for a year, paying extortionate sums (up to $100,000+ Singapore dollars for the most 'holy'). It was the perfect marriage of capitalism and faith; no tithes, no forced collections or begging with plates. This was clean, efficient and gold plated. It was, in a word, odd.
The rooftop garden boasted 10,000 miniature Buddha statues, and was the part of the temple that I found most stunning.
Inside the temple boasted a museum detailing the history of the faith in short steps and containing hundreds of statues, pictures, icons and relics of the great man himself. The relics (to an uninitiated eye) looked like pretty glass beads, and there were a great many of them, lovingly cared for in gold plated vessels, placed atop cushions and scrutinised by the faithful.
This was a Technicolor religious experience. It was bright, brash, bold; covered in gold, jewels and polite signs in a multitude of languages.
Nearby, in the markets and shops of Chinatown we picked up souvenirs and enjoyed the hustle and bustle of the city. This place had everything you wanted be it food and drink or antiques and designer knock offs. It was energetic and fun. A good way to round off our final day.

Are you under pressure from your DMS to enter into a contract that you are unsure about? Find a DMS who can step in and help you gain control over your current situation and enable you to improve customer satisfaction and dealership profits. DOWNLOAD
I have recently fielded questions about the best methods to handle pre-owned inbound phone leads and have proven ideas and a script outline below. A well thought out and rehearsed script can help even the best sales person get more contact information and schedule more appointments. Any personnel fielding phone calls should have the script down pat. The key is having a proven process to ensure consistent results from inbound calls. And the script has got to sound real and engaging; nothing turns people off faster than someone reading to them over the phone. Anyone taking calls should be required to have the script memorized. Test them to ensure this!
The goals for all calls should be 1.) qualify the shopper, 2.) get contact information and 3.) set an appointment. I can tell you from years of experience, most calls are not this structured and frequently end without capturing any of this information. Here is a basic script that can be used as a starting point for your dealership. (It's not completely original, but I think it stresses the points well.)
Sample Pre-owned Inbound Phone Up Script
Hello, this is ___________. How may I assist you today?
That's a great car. I can check on that for you.
What type of equipment are you looking for? (This is a qualifier question we don't ask enough.)
Any other equipment like _________, or _________?
What is the price range you're trying to stay within?
Great! I will check on what's in stock and what's coming in the next few days as well. It should only take about 15 minutes.
Are you calling from home or work?
What's the best number to reach you? And who should I ask for? Could you spell that please?
Actually, rather than call you back, my manager just walked by. He will know about these off the top of his head. Can you hold for a second? (This is a powerful control point that allows you to regain your thoughts before returning to the call.)
Mr. or Mrs. __________________, I've got great news. We have both __________ and _______________, like you're looking for. (Since you opened their range from the single vehicle they called about above, you now can present more options.)
What is a convenient time for you to stop in, right now, or later today? (Giving only two choices is easier for the shoppers mind.)
I have opening in my appointment book for (time) or (time).
Do you have a pen handy? My name is _________, and my direct number is ____________. I have penciled you into my appointment book for _________. Please call me on this number if you think you're going to be early or late. (Making the shopper write down the information solidifies it mentally, which helps increase appointment shows.)
Make certain that any person who takes a call is prepared. This means they have a pad and pen right in front of them to write down important information about the shopper. They also should not be multi-tasking during a phone up. Focus and attention get the appointment; multi-tasking gets you nothing.
Interestingly, our live chat team employs the same techniques as above to capture information from shoppers who chat at the dealership website. It is no wonder we achieve an almost 90% data capture rate for contact information from the website shoppers.
Do you have a proven script you can share? What has been your experience with phone or other scripts? Please share!

In 1963, approximately 487 pairs of eagles remained in 48 states. This dangerously low number of eagles was due in part by destruction of the eagle's environment, hunting, and DDT. Today, since the ban of DDT and the Endangered Species Act, the eagle population has been growing and now eagles can be found primarily in the northern majority part of Wisconsin! In honor of National Save the Eagles day, here are a few interesting facts about eagles: Continue reading

Island Hopping on Lake Michigan
by Ken Braband, republished with permission from www.LiquidAdventuring.com
During the final weekend of September I paddled and camped a portion of what might one day be America's newest national park. There's an effort underway to place The Grand Traverse Islands – islands and some surrounding mainland from Wisconsin's Door County to Upper Michigan's Garden Peninsula – under control of the National Park Service. You can click this link to learn about the proposal and to sign the petition. It's a worthy idea that would offer new levels of access and protection for this amazingly beautiful part of the world.

32 Observations, Week 5
The 32 Observations series has covered passing and rushing over the past two weeks, so the next logical step is to look at receiving. This week you can see various situational statistics on receivers so you can learn a little bit more about them. In order to qualify for this article, a player (regardless of position) must have 20 targets.
AFC East
Buffalo Bills: Plenty of tight ends are lining up frequently as wide receivers, and getting a lot of their stats playing like a WR. Scott Chandler is more of a traditional tight end who has seen only two of his 24 targets while lined up in the slot. He has 17 catches on 24 targets for 185 yards coming from a traditional tight end position. Those 185 yards are third-most in the league.
Miami Dolphins: The players with the most receiving yards on go routes are mostly the receivers you would expect, but one man on the list is Charles Clay. He has five catches on go routes which is the most in the league, and has 174 yards which is the second-most.
New England Patriots: Of Danny Amendola's 98 snaps, there has been a defender in press coverage lined up across from him on only 13. That 13.3% rate is the lowest for wide receivers.
New York Jets: For most teams it is easy enough to figure out their best wide receiver. The Jets on the other hand, have Stephen Hill, Jeremy Kerley and Santoino Holmes who have 1.88, 1.86 and 1.83 Yards Per Route Run respectively, which makes it look like they have three receivers who have produced at around the same level.
AFC North
Baltimore Ravens: On third downs, Torrey Smith has 10 catches for 254 yards. No other receiver has more than 200 yards on such plays.
Cincinnati Bengals: The Bengals have yet to find much success from receivers lining up in the slot this year. The receiver with the most slot yards is Mohamed Sanu with 73 yards on 10 catches. His 73 yards from the slot is the second-lowest amongst receivers who lead their team in slot yards.
Cleveland Browns: Each of the Browns' top three wide receivers are among the bottom fifth of the league in terms of drop rate. Greg Little is at 22.2%, Davone Bess at 19.2% and Josh Gordon at 14.3%.
Pittsburgh Steelers: In the first half of games, Jerricho Cotchery has caught two of eight passes thrown his way for 19 yards with one drop. In the second half he has caught 13 of 17 passes thrown his way for 229 yards, two touchdowns and no drops.
AFC South
Houston Texans: There are 11 receivers in the league with at least 20 catches and no drops. The one with the most catches in the league without a drop is Andre Johnson, with 37. DeAndre Hopkins is another one of the 11, with 22 catches without a drop.
Indianapolis Colts: During the season both T.Y. Hilton and Darius Heyward-Bey have seen snaps as the Colts No. 2 receiver. Yards Per Route Run shows Hilton should receive more snaps in the two receiver sets. He ranks sixth among receivers at 2.50, while Heyward-Bey is 10th-worst at 0.95.
Jacksonville Jaguars: When Chad Henne is the quarterback of the Jaguars instead of Blaine Gabbert, Cecil Shorts sees a higher percent of the targets (36.8% to 30.2%), a higher Catch Rate (54.3% to 46.2%), and a higher Yards per Catch (14.5 to 11.3).
Tennessee Titans: A big reason why Nate Washington has had a noticeable season is his great play in the fourth quarter. He's caught 10 of 15 passes thrown his way for 200 yards and a touchdown. The 200 yards is second-most in the league.
AFC West
Denver Broncos: The league leader in yards and touchdowns from wide receiver screens is Demaryius Thomas. He has caught nine screens so far for 144 yards and two touchdowns.
Kansas City Chiefs: On Dwayne Bowe's 17 catches, he's had seven players miss tackles on him. That is a rate of 0.41 missed tackles per catch which is the best rate among wide receivers.
Oakland Raiders: When a Raiders quarterback has held on to the ball for at least 4 seconds, Rod Streater has been the man to throw to. He's caught 5 passes on 6 targets for 76 yards on these kind of plays, which is more yards than all of his teammates put together.
San Diego Chargers: Not only does Antonio Gates have more catches on first downs than any other tight end, he has more than any other receiver, at 17. His 265 yards on those catches is second most for all receivers.
NFC East
Dallas Cowboys: Only 3.3% of the Cowboys' aimed passes have been dropped which is the second lowest rate in the league. They are one of six teams to not have a player on the team with more than two drops.
New York Giants: On 56% of his snaps, Hakeem Nicks has had a defender line up in press coverage across from him. That is the highest rate in the league.
Philadelphia Eagles: There are 13 players in the league who have at least 100 receiving yards from plays where they started in a three-point stance. One is Zach Ertz, who has 123 receiving yards on five catches, and another is Brent Celek with 104 yards on four catches. The Eagles are the only team with two players on the list.
Washington Redskins: There are seven different players on the Washington roster with at least 90 receiving yards. This includes their top four wide receivers, Logan Paulsen and Jordan Reed at tight end, and Roy Helu at running back. They are the only team with seven players with 90 or more yards.
NFC North
Chicago Bears: One of the reasons Alshon Jeffery is having a breakout year is because he has done well on hitch routes, with 14 of his 28 catches coming on the route. This has come on 18 targets for 145 yards, which all lead the league.
Detroit Lions: One way that Calvin Johnson is leading the league is in slant routes. He has 9 catches on 11 targets for 166 yards and two touchdowns, with each of those numbers leading the league.
Green Bay Packers: The duo of James Jones and Jordy Nelson has caught 25 of 28 passes thrown their way for 378 yards and 5 touchdowns when there was no defender lined up in press coverage on them to begin the play. When there was someone in press coverage, they have caught just 17 of 28 passes for 332 yards and no touchdowns.
Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings have had 63.3% of their team's receiving yards come from Jerome Simpson and Greg Jennings, which is the second-highest rate in the league for any pair of receivers.
NFC South
Atlanta Falcons: Receiver Roddy White has been decent in the first half of games, with 11 catches on 13 targets for 108 yards. In the second half he has disappeared, with three catches on eight targets for 21 yards.
Carolina Panthers: Of Steve Smith's 32 targets, half have come when a defender is lined up in press coverage at the snap. Of the 16 targets without press against him, he has 13 catches for 141 yards. Of the 16 targets with press against him, he has five catches for 62 yards.
New Orleans Saints: When Drew Brees is not under pressure and targets Jimmy Graham, he has 35 catches on 43 targets for 578 yards, five touchdowns and no drops. When Brees is under pressure and targets Graham, he has just two catches on eight targets for 15 yards, one touchdown and three drops.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers: By far the most efficient player from the slot this year has been Vincent Jackson, with 3.78 Yards Per Route Run in the slot. Only one player is within a yard per route of Jackson.
NFC West
Arizona Cardinals: Of players with at least 20 targets, Andre Ellington has the third-worst drop rate regardless of position. He has dropped four passes compared to 13 catches for a drop rate of 23.5%.
St. Louis Rams: The receiver group with the most dropped passes this season is the Rams with 18. It is led by Tavon Austin with five, and Daryl Richardson with three.
San Francisco 49ers: Anquan Boldin has 40.5% of the 49ers' receiving yards, which is the second-highest rate in the league.
Seattle Seahawks: Of Golden Tate's 236 receiving yards, 67.3% of them have come after the catch. This is the second-highest rate for wide receivers. On the other hand, Sidney Rice has 146 receiving yards and only 12.3% have come after the catch, which is third-lowest.

Alex Sadowsky made three free throws in the final 26 seconds and the Killdeer boys basketball team held on for a 57-53 Region 7 victory over the Richardton-Taylor Raiders on Tuesday night.
The home crowd was loud and boisterous but was hushed when the Raiders' cut the lead to 54-53 with 30 seconds left on a lay-up and a foul shot by Ethan Kuntz.
But moments later, Sadowsky stepped to the charity strip and calmly sank two free throws.
And after the Raiders missed two open 3-point shots – they made nine in the game – Garrett LeMieux grabbed the rebound and got the ball to Sadowsky, who was fouled.
But he missed both charity tosses and gave the Raiders hope – for one second. After he missed the second shot, LeMieux grabbed the long rebound and was fouled with one tick left on the clock.
This time, his shot was all net. Ball game over.
Sadowsky led the Cowboys with a productive game all the way around. He scored 21 points, dished out five assists, had nine rebounds, four blocks and three steals.
Hoyt Zander added 10 points while LeMieux had eight, but contributed with a team-high six steals, two assists, six rebounds and a blocked shot.
Richardton-Taylor was led by Ethan Kuntz with 21 points, who made four attempts from beyond the 3-point line, and 11 from Jayden Olson, who added three treys.
The game was nip-and-tuck throughout, but the Cowboys opened up a little five-point cushion in the third quarter.
The victory moved the Cowboys to 5-4 in the regional standings, right in the middle of the pack. They are also 9-10 overall and have a chance to end the regular season with a winning record with two game remaining. The Cowboys were scheduled to travel to Watford City on Thursday and then host Region 7 leader Dickinson Trinity on Feb. 24.
New England 56, Killdeer 55
The home team left with a smile in New England when the Tigers held off the Cowboys on Feb. 10.
The game was tight, with the Tigers opening a little cushion in the second quarter. They outscored Killdeer 16-9 in the stanza to open a 29-25 lead at the intermission.
Sadowsky led the way for Killdeer with a double-double. He had 22 points and 11 rebounds.
LeMieux chipped in nine points and a dozen rebounds and six steals.

The Trouble With Sugar Free . . . .25 Aug 2003
How Sorbitol Causes Irritable Bowel Syndrome
If you suffer from Irritable Bowel Syndrome and enjoy sugar-free
products, it may be worthwhile to review your eating habits.
Did you know the common additive sorbitol causes bloating, flatulence
and diarrhea? It only takes 10g per day. Ironically sugar-free products
are marketed as being part of a healthy lifestyle.
Despite more than two decades of clinical research on the detrimental
effects of sugar substitutes on the human body, sugar-free products are
sold as solutions for everything from weight loss to tooth whitening.
We classify Irritable Bowel Syndrome as a collection of symptoms rather
than a disease. If you have long-term symptoms like stomach bloating,
flatulence, itching skin, headache, yeast infections or dozens of others

This article looks at sorbitol, one of the so-called polyols listed on
sugar-free packs and used frequently as a softener and sweetener in
* Why do manufacturers in 2003 continue to market products that
contain sorbitol at levels known to cause Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
* Sugar-free products are the darlings of retailers. The tiny packs
take up little space at the point of sale. Now enjoying
double-digit sales growth, they deliver profit margins which far
outstrip chocolate bars or sugar candy (1).
Sorbitol is a natural laxative and occurs in pears, prunes and other
fruits. In fact sorbitol solution is sold as a laxative through
pharmacies (Sorbilax - Pharmacia & Upjohn).
Link to Irritable Bowel Syndrome
Sorbitol is also thought to be a cause of Irritable Bowel Syndrome (2).
Most sugar-free products carry warnings like: Excess consumption can
have a laxative effect.However, the packs are so small that reading them
is difficult, and more importantly the term excess usage is not
explained or quantified. Is one pack an excess?
* Dateline June 1995: The Lancet publishes the case of a 35 year-old
Flight Attendant diagnosed with Irritable Bowel Syndrome. She is
admitted to a British Hospital and undergoes a series of gruelling
tests: 14 procedures including blood tests, biopsies, liver
biochemistry, gastroscopy, endoscopy and periods of supervised
fasting. It eventually it turns out the cause of her diarrhea (up
to ten watery motions per day) is the result of habitual use of
sugar-free chewing gum containing sorbitol (3).
This is despite clinical results published twelve years earlier
(Gastroenterology January 1983) from the Hartford Hospital and
University of Connecticut warning that sorbitol causes
gastro-intestinal distress in amounts as little as 10g per day (4).
* Dateline June 2003: Popular sugar-free fruit pastilles, mints and
chewing gum contain sorbitol in rather large amounts (42% - 50%)
(5,6). This means a single tiny 25g purse-pack of fruit pastilles
contains easily enough Sorbitol to cause gastro-intestinal
distress and diarrhea and Irritable Bowel Syndrome.
And with chewing gum there is even greater danger of sorbitol overdose.
The manufacturer of a gum marketed as a teeth whitener (6) encourages
consumers to use it many times in a day, presumably to glean as much of
the tooth brightening property as possible. Ironically this is claimed
by the manufacturer to be a healthy lifestyle activity.
There is no reference on the packaging or manufacturer's website to the
laxative properties of sorbitol.
* So what? you think. We don't swallow chewing gum.
* While gum is not swallowed many of its ingredients are readily
ingested and quickly make their way to the intestinal tract.
From Special Dietary to Mainstream
Sugar-free is big business. The last five years has seen a whole new
wave of low-joule, so-called tooth-friendly products marketed to
mainstream consumers.
Originally marketed only to the Diabetic population, products containing
sweeteners like aspartame, saccharin, sorbitol, xylitol, maltitol,
mannitol, acesulphame-K, cyclamates and sucralose are now included
routinely in Sugar-free jubes, mints, breath fresheners, chewing gum,
soft drinks, diet yoghurt, low-joule ice cream and sugar-substitute
baking ingredients. Problems arise when people use sugar-free chewing
gum or sweets as a habit.
The action of sorbitol is to linger in the gut because it is not
digested. Dosing ourselves daily means we are less able to clear
sorbitol from our systems: each day it accrues to a greater and greater
How Does It Cause Irritable Bowel Syndrome?
Firstly, undigested sorbitol in the small intestine acts as a substrate
(platform) for the fermentation of bacteria. Hydrogen gas is produced
causing abdominal cramps, bloating and severe flatulence. These are also
common symptoms of food intolerance,
Secondly, we already know sorbitol in quantities as low as 10g per day
causes diarrhea - brought on by the so-called osmotic purge happening in
the gut.
Sorbitol is a polyalcohol sugar and is neither digested nor absorbed by
the small intestine. It passes through to the colon where it drives an
osmotic purge (2). This means it passes through the lining of the
intestine causing fluids (mostly water) to pass through in the opposite
direction via osmosis. Bowel motions become watery and lead to
dehydration and over time, other consequences like malabsorption of
Here at foodintol we are not concerned about the use of artificial
sweeteners per se, just the dosages or amounts available in everyday
food products. When this is coupled with the manufacturer's
encouragement to use them frequently and make it a habit we believe
there is a real health danger for consumers.
We feel there is room for manufacturers to take more responsibility in
relation to sorbitol, especially in the light of increased understanding
from long term clinical research.
Meanwhile for the consumer, awareness is our only real defence. For
those who believe they may have Irritable Bowel Syndrome it may be wise
to take a personal inventory of the sugar-free foods they are eating to
first rule them out as a cause.

God bless you Brittany Maynard. Your courage and strength sparked a healthy debate about the right to die with a terminal illness.
You are a bright light which will be seen afar. Your message heard. Your passion and love felt.
Your life's mission is complete. You have done what you have come here to do on this earthly plane. I feel your soulful mission will continue from the other side where your true purpose will shine bright.
May your courage, strength, faith, & light shine so brightly from the other side to guide and light the path for some many who are lost with the realities of death not what we are feared to believe in situations such as yours.
May your courage, strength, faith, & light shine so brightly from the other side to those who may be misguided about transition and death; to prevent those who may seek to profit from your message; to prevent those who may prey on the weak; to prevent those who may see this as an opportunity to end their life prematurely.
Brittany, may you fly high and soar to new heights for all of us to bear witness. My prayers are with you, your friends, your family, and loved ones. May they continue your message from a place of love. God bless you.

Games Releasing This Week On Xbox One
After a somewhat quiet week for releases has just gone by, the latest selection is about to drop into our sweaty palms. Of course, it's all about one title we've been waiting with much anticipation for this week. But there's also a few others you might want to get your mits on. Check out the full full list below to soothe those Monday morning blues.
This Is The Police
Dive into a deep story of corruption, crime and intrigue. Take the role of gritty Police Chief Jack Boyd, and come face to face with the ugly underbelly of Freeburg, a city spiraling the drain. Will Jack reach his retirement with a nice stack of bills, or will he end up broken … or worse? Manage your staff, respond to emergencies, and investigate crimes in a city on the brink of chaos. The mafia underworld maneuvers behind the scenes, sinking their claws ever deeper into the city, even as the mayor is ready to exploit every situation to his political advantage.
Choose your approach to each situation as it unfolds. Sometimes you'll be responding to a developing crisis at a crime scene, or negotiating with Freeburg's crime bosses. Sometimes you'll find yourself dodging questions in the press room, or even the occasional cross-examination in the witness box. Can you keep this pressure cooker from exploding, at least for long enough to stash away a nice retirement nest egg?
Mass Effect: Andromeda
Battle for a new home for the human race in Mass Effect: Andromeda. Take control of the Pathfinder—a leader of a squad of military-trained explorers—and recruit a team of elite operatives as you make choices that will determine the fate of humanity. New gameplay additions such as destructible cover, boosted jumps for added verticality, and all-new weapons and Biotics make combat more thrilling than ever.
88 Heroes
It's 8:08am on 8th August 1988, and the evil Dr. H8 has brought the world to the brink of total annihilation! His demands are simple: pay $88 octillion within 88 minutes, or Dr. H8's 88 thermo-nuclear warheads will wipe out the Earth! But who will save us in our time of need? The bravest? The boldest? No… the 88 Heroes!Prepare to infiltrate Dr. H8's lair with the help of the strangest, dumbest and most pointless superheroes ever! With 88 levels between you and Dr. H8, only 88 seconds to complete each level and the 88-minute Doomsday clock already ticking, lead 88 unique characters – each with their own special abilities – on a platform-hopping, enemy-smashing, danger-dodging mission to save Earth from complete destruction! Can the 88 Heroes save the day?
Also this week Sniper Elite 4 will be receiving a great looking DLC bundle. If you've not checked out teh fourth iteration in the franchise yet, then have a read through our review to see our thoughts. Will you be picking any of these up? Sound off in the comments below!

Picture: Billie Joe Armstrong Mugshot. They're used to being photographed in all their neatly-tailored, carefully-coiffured glory at swanky showbiz events. But when the stars fall foul...
Rocker Billie Joe Armstrong worked so hard on the new Green Day album he almost ended up in hospital.
The band has been busy recording tracks for 21st Century Breakdown, their first new release in over five years.
But their commitment to perfecting the album left Armstrong and his bandmates - bassist Mike Dirnt and drummer Tre Cool - fearing for their health.
Armstrong says, This is the album that could have killed us. We had set the bar so high with American Idiot.
We all became sick as dogs. I was close to being hospitalised but they caught me in time. I had the boogie woogie flu.

"We're quite proud of our ability to process these notices quickly. It's a collaborative process with copyright owners. They know how to send us notices in a way we can quickly process them," he said. According to Google's transparency report, it received 88,168,206 copyright removal or takedown requests for search in July, over 2.8 million requests a day. Google also uses an automated identification system called ContentID on its video-sharing website YouTube to deal with copyright issues.
If a person uploads an original video or audio to You-Tube, Google will create a "fingerprint" or unique ID for the upload. The system can detect if the same print or content has been uploaded by another user anywhere, and will alert the original copyright owner. The owner can then either decide to block, monetise or let go of the user uploading their original content. YouTube's ContentID system handles 98% of content management on YouTube and has generated over $2 billion for copyright owners who have chosen to monetise their content.
While Google has found a way to deal with copyrights issues over video and music content, Lohmann said other content such as original artwork is trickier and it is trying to improve its processes to address those issues. "I agree that that is a more difficult problem," he said. The video and audio systems are quite advanced, but for visual artists, copyright issues are sorted through notice and takedown. Artists can also submit a photograph of their work in image search and Google can identify where that photograph appears online.
On the question of how Google deals with issue of original content owners asking for takedown of parodies, Lohmann said those are subjective issues. A case in point was when an Indian film production house took down a standup comedy group's spoof on one of their upcoming films. Does YouTube or the law provide for some seconds of original footage to be used in such parodies?

It's been a long time coming, but word on the street is that the Fantastic Four reboot finally has its cast. It's thanks to the maestro that is The Wrap's Jeff Sneider (via Latino Review)- who managed to secure an exclusive on the hot topic- that we are able to spread the news. Y'all ready for this?:
Kate Mara got the offer to play Sue Storm, Michael B Jordan will play the Human Torch, Jamie Bell is in negotiations to play Ben Grimm aka The Thing, and Miles Tellar is also in negotiations to play Reed Richards aka Mr Fantastic.
The guys at Latino Review have admittedly voiced some concerns over the continual change up of its scribes for The Fantastic Four reboot; concerns which are slightly assuaged by Josh Trank's directing skills. Time will tell as to whether these youngsters have the capability to live up to the reputation of the heroic four- how do you think they'll fare?

Internal mammary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistulas. Case report and review of the literature.
S F Hearne, M K Burbank
Circulation. 1980;62:1131-1135Originally published November 1, 1980
Jump to
A case of internal mammary artery-to-pulmonary artery fistula is presented, and all previously reported cases are reviewed. This represents a rare cause of a continuous precordial murmur that may be confused clinically with a patent ductus arteriosus. Patients are usually asymptomatic, and routine diagnostic tests may be of little help in establishing a diagnosis. Selective internal mammary angiography is the procedure of choice for confirmation and localization. The question of advisability of surgery for these patients remains unanswered.

A Mom, A Pop and the American Dream
It started as a dream in 1955 for two newlyweds — Char and Ed Weidner. They would start their own small business, House of Signs, in Sacramento with Ed moonlighting from his job as a patrol officer on the Sacramento Police Force and Char doing the books.
Sixty years later, WeidnerCA is an industry leader in environmental graphics, architectural signage and design-build solutions. While much has changed since our company began, something that hasn't is our dedication to our craft, creativity and reliability.
This year we decided to create something special to thank our clients: a series of limited-edition, commemorative cans inspired by Ed Weidner's original illustrations and artwork.
We're grateful for our success and relationships year-round. But we feel it most keenly around the holidays, when we think of our families and friendships.
Thank you for – well, everything!

Samurai Burrito wraps ups shop, standing roofless among the Ebisu market. Photo by Jake Winkle.by Tejas Chadha, Staff Writer
On March 18, Samurai Burrito, a local restaurant famous for the sushi it serves in the form of a burrito, burned down in a fire.
The fire occurred at 3:30 a.m. before the eatery had opened. There was no one in the building at the time of its fire and Fountain Valley's local fire department was able to put out the fire in an hour after its start.
Samurai released the following statement after the fire.
"We regret to inform you that Samurai Burrito will be closed until further notice. Early this morning, 3/18, there was a fire that demolished our restaurant. We are grateful that no one was in the building during the fire and are appreciative to the fire fighters for their efforts. Thank you to all our patrons for your support over the years. We will keep everyone posted as we work on finding a new location," said the establishment.
"It's really sad because a lot of people lost their jobs because of the fire and I know a lot of Fountain Valley students really liked going there," said former employee Michelle Tran ('16).
The restaurant will still be serving customers through their food truck and will be updating the location of it on their various social media accounts.
"It was one of my favorite spots to eat not just because of the actual food but because of how close it is to school, and it was a nice change from the usual burgers and fries students like me have to eat at the other fast food places next to us," said James Phan ('17).
There is no definite time table for when or where the restaurant will reopen.

In chapter 30, Why does Heck Tate did not want the real story about Bob Ewell's death to get out?
- print Print
- list Cite
Arthur (Boo) Radley killed Bob Ewell when he attacked Scout and Jem. Heck Tate, the sheriff, thinks that Arthur didn't do anything wrong. There is nothing wrong "for a citizen to do his utmost to prevent a crime from being committed." (pg 276). He feels that Arthur did Atticus and the rest of the town a "great service". (pg 276) Heck Tate also knows his community. He knows that if he tells the town about it, all the ladies in Maycomb, "including my wife", will come by Arthur's house carrying cake and bringing him into the limelight. Arthur is an extremely shy person, and Heck feels it would be a sin to treat him that way after he saved the children's lives. He tells Atticus, "If it were any other man, it'd be different. But not this man, Mr. Finch." (pg 276)

Keshav Gupta's review on Toyota Camry Hybrid
Year of Manufacture : 2014 | Driven no. of Kms. : 1384
- Pros: Good Throttle response
- Cons: Dull Steering
I was looking for spacious sedan for comfortable driving experience but good throttle response was the base line of my choice, so to get the perfect car for my personal use I gather information about different cars and comes out with amazing hybrid, Toyota Camry. This car is purely a smart driving car where electric motor helps in extra kick to the performance which further helps in increasing throttle response even with the wide body which is designed to provide best in class cabin space. Overall Toyota Camry is the best hybrid sedan of its class and suits my personality.

The Dodgers plan to start right-hander Ricky Nolasco rather than ace left-hander Clayton Kershaw in Game 4 of the National League Division Series on Monday, according to the Los Angeles Times.
Dodgers pitching coach Rick Honeycutt told the the Times that the team had considered using Kershaw on short rest only if they faced elimination on Monday. Los Angeles, however, took a two games-to-one lead with a 13-6 victory on Sunday.
CORCORAN: Dodgers push Braves to the brink in NLDS
Honeycutt said the team would not risk using Kershaw -- who has never pitched on short rest -- with a chance to bring him back in what could be a decisive Game 5 on Wednesday.
"He's our future," Honeycutt told the Times. "You don't want to mess around with it."

Life lately, has been busy and exciting! I don't always haul my big camera around and am thankful that I can at least capture a moment with my phone. Sometimes it's those little joys in life that we don't plan for, that make for a great photo opportunity. For my 25th birthday, Matt surprised me with tickets to see Wicked! When he told me, I jumped up and down like an 8 year old and remained like one throughout the entire production...wide eyed and sitting on the edge of my seat. We even had little sippy cups with straws (filled with wine, of course)! Other highlights include a dinner party with some lovely ladies, celebrating St. Patrick's day with nails painted green, pretty spring flowers, eating Voodoo doughnuts for the first time and a Blazer's game!

I feel like I'm on a ship that's sinking. He left 9/22/14. I think I should be better than this. It's unbelievable, so wrong. It makes me think, where is God in all this? I need to stay strong. He's right (think positive) here with me and wishes I could understand why it needed to go this way. Lord keep me strong, Candace is with him, they're ok.
I am sorry for the loss of your lil' brother too (what happened to him too).
Jannelle, I'm so sorry.
Janet, The hospital needs to be accountable for that! My lil' brother was given nano units instead of micros. They gave him WAY to much, seconds later he told his wife, "check the medicine, something's wrong". He then had a heart attack and left us all!!! That was 9/22/14. It hurts EVERYDAY! We didn't see each other that often anymore but when he was told he was dying. I made plans to see him the following Wednesday. Sadly, he passed on Monday!!! As kids we were very close and I even lived with his family for a few months while I was recuperating from an accident. I think about him numerous times a day. I'm holding a pic of him, I hug it. He's plays guitar, a Les Paul; he has a Fender Straticaster too. Doug's a Respiratory Therapist, his wife is a nurse and their daughter's going to college to be a doctor. She told me he won't be able to walk her down the aisle when she gets married. SO SAD! It hurts!!!Oooooh My Dougie!!!!! I LOVE you Doug, so very much!!!
Sorry for your lost Susan. My mother passed away in 1999 from complications of Scleroderma. It seems just like yesterday. I pray that GOD gives you peace and understanding!
Thank you Karen. I really appreciate your words of wisdom.
Hello Janelle
I wish you the best in your efforts with the nursing home. I also hope you find peace and know that I firmly believe your brother rests in heaven.
Karen Liller
Although it has been more than two weeks since losing my oldest brother, I think about (after hearing/learning later) how the nursing home treated him and how I wanted/needed to be there to prevent that. Right now, my family is fighting for him because that facility needs to be held accountable for his lack of care. "JUSTICE FOR ANT!"
I just lost my oldest brother on Tuesday, March 21, 2017. I could not be at his wake nor funeral because it was in Cleveland, Ohio and I was hospitalized in Astoria, NY.
I just read that post you did elyse, "missing my brother, FOREVER", with a heavy heart I agree implicitly.

They're only opinions, but at least they're all mine:
• This isn't the way Mike Garrett dreamed it would be. When the former USC athletic director hired Lane Kiffin, he wanted Norm Chow and Ed Orgeron to be mainstays on the staff, the way they were under Pete Carroll. That seemed understandable.
• But earth to Mike: It was never going to happen. Kiffin wants to call his own plays, and Chow certainly wasn't coming back to the Trojans if he wasn't in charge of the offense. That's why Chow will be calling the plays for Utah on Saturday, and Kiffin and Orgeron will be trying to out-point him on the other sideline at the Coliseum.

Good day!
I'm a post op TS girl from Ireland, my GRS was 6 years ago and I'm a little disappointed of the outer appearance of the vagina.
Would like to get some information and pictures + experiences from patients.
My main concern is that the area around the urethra gets hard and a little erected – also I think I need to get labiaplasty revision.
Appreciate your answer,
May 27, 2016
Good morning Lucille,
Please provide your full name, address, and phone number,
along with photos. You most likely have a urethral
spongiosum rest. Swelling also may block ease of penetration
as well as prompt the "what's that" question.
We are very familiar with this and the remedy is fairly simple.
You may wish to visit our web-site with many before and

Contempt Prior to Investigation
To see a copy of the 12 Steps of Alcoholics Anonymous click here.
The first time I read the 12 Steps, they were on a poster on the wall at the initial AA meeting I stumbled into. I was shaky-sober after a torturous five-day self-detox and on my way home from an appointment with my psychotherapist, who'd been quizzing me gently about what was so scary about going to AA. (It was mostly denial and the stigma.) I'd taken a cab to my appointment as I was still too debilitated to drive, couldn't hail one for the return trip, and wound up walking home past an AA clubhouse. I went in after much mental to-and-fro and pacing back-and-forth as if I were picketing the place. I walked in the door to prove to myself I didn't belong.
Unsurprisingly, I looked at the other people and concluded I wasn't like them at all. If AA worked for some people, good for them. But they were alcoholics and I wasn't. I was still swathed in the misery of detox, determined never to go through that again, convinced the memory would stay with me, remind me, restrain me, retrain me. But in case it didn't, I went to an AA meeting as aversion therapy. Drinking would land me in the same place as these unlucky unfortunates. I wouldn't let happen to me, I was sure.
Looking for ways I didn't fit in, I read the Steps and immediately discarded the first one, the one claiming I was powerless, because I'd just proven my power over alcohol by enduring another grizzly detox. (For more, click on Step 1). I broke the rest of the steps down to two basic categories: God and kindergarten.
The God Steps: Fully half the steps mentioned God: a "Power greater than ourselves" could cure our insanity (Step 2); AAers had to turn their will and lives over to God (Step 3); had to admit to Him all of their wrongs (Step 5), become ready to have Him remove all character defects (Step 6) and ask Him to do so (Step 7). And they were supposed to pray (Step 11).
I didn't believe in a spiritual solution so it was easy to dismiss these steps as the delusion of religious zealots. This was an example of what AA calls, "contempt prior to investigation." In rehab, I learned that you didn't have to believe in God to obtain the benefits of the 12-Step program. (For more, click on Doubt A Spiritual Program Works?, Who Says I'm Crazy? and I Don't Want To Join A New Religion.)
The Kindergarten Steps: The rest of the steps boiled down to simple moral instructions like those given to 5 or 6-year-olds: inventory wrongs (Steps 4 & 10), admit them (Step 5) and make amends (Steps 8 & 9), repeating this process every day (step 10); and helping others (Step 12).
I left that first meeting still convinced AA was irrelevant to me and I didn't see any point in ever returning. My attitude was an example of what AA calls, "contempt prior to investigation." My mind was closed to the possibility that a 12-Step program could have value. In rehab, I opened my mind.
When I entered rehab the counselors told me the Steps were the key to staying alive. I thought they were nuts. I objected, strenuously, particlularly to the first three Steps. But much to my amazement, I found that what they said about about Steps 1 and 2 did apply to me, (though Step 3 took a lot longer. For more on this, click on Have Objections to The Steps? I Did.). This convinced me to stop fighting and to keep an open mind. The counselors said my attitude was typical of new patients.
What I learned in rehab and by working the Steps with a sponsor after I got out, was that the spiritual program wasn't a form of religious doctrine. It was a series of principles based on universal spiritual concepts: tell the truth; treat others as you'd want to be treated; monitor your inevitable failures, apologize for them and make things right if you can do so without hurting others; and help others in need.
I also learned that the Steps are designed to be tools that can relieve the anger, resentments, guilt, shame, and other negative feelings that prompt the addict brain to cry out for chemical relief. Since these emotions come up constantly, the program has to be practiced daily, one day at a time, even hourly or minute-by-minute in early sobriety. Applying the program every day is the way addicts transform their attitudes, making the enormous psychic switch from the false belief that drugs are the antidote to life's problems to recognizing that sobriety is the remedy.
So if you have doubts or objections to 12-Step programs, I can relate because I shared them. Those doubts don't have to stand in the way of obtaining the benefits of the program. And they don't have to be kept secret. I hear people express similar doubts all the time at AA meetings. And rather than be criticized or ostracized for expressing them, members admire the honesty and courage that it takes to talk openly about them.
I urge doubters to keep an open mind, suspend your preconceptions, investigate 12-Step programs fully and give them a sincere chance before deciding they're not for you.

2 Responses to " Contempt Prior to Investigation "
One of the tools I use in the work I do with addicts/alcoholics who are confused by or worried about the meaning of the first three steps is to suggest they think of them in terms of the new brain research now proving addiction/alcoholism to be a chronic, often relapsing brain disease. Here are the adaptations of the first three steps that I've framed within the context of the science:
1. Came to understand the disease of alcoholism (drug addiction) as a chronic, often relapsing brain disease, and to accept that I have the disease.
2. Given the power of alcohol (drug) cravings as a result of the chemical and structural changes that have occurred in my brain because of my disease, I accept that my way of "handling" it by trying to control how much I drink (use) cannot work.
3. Accepting that "my way" did not and cannot work, I know I must abstain from alcohol (drug) entirely, and I am open to trying any of the various treatment/recovery options available. If one fails, I will try another.
Perhaps some of your readers will find that using these adapted versions of the first three steps can help alcoholics (and their family members and friends) embrace the notion and benefits of treatment and recovery, even if they do not fully accept the AA/NA program.
Thank you for your comment.
This is a very interesting alternative take to the first 3 Steps and I think it'll be helpful for those who have objections to the Steps (like I did when I was dragged into rehab).
Along similar lines, when I objected to the "spiritual solution," and in particular to the need for a spiritual experience/awakening, which AA said was necessary for sobriety, I was told I could substitute the words "psychological" or "emotional" for the word "spiritual." That helped me be more open-minded about 12-Step programs and provided a way for me to begin to get past my objections so I could learn that my pre-conceived notions about AA and recovery were incorrect.
