Survivor guilt
|This article needs additional citations for verification. (June 2007)
Survivor guilt (or survivor's guilt; also called survivor syndrome or survivor's syndrome) is a mental condition that occurs when a person perceives themselves to have done wrong by surviving a traumatic event when others did not. It may be found among survivors of combat, natural disasters, epidemics, among the friends and family of those who have committed suicide, and in non-mortal situations such as among those whose colleagues are laid off. The experience and manifestation of survivor's guilt will depend on an individual's psychological profile. When the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders IV (DSM-IV) was published, survivor guilt was removed as a recognized specific diagnosis, and redefined as a significant symptom of post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
Survivor guilt was first identified during the 1960s. Several therapists recognized similar if not identical conditions among Holocaust survivors. Similar signs and symptoms have been recognized in survivors of traumatic situations including combat, natural disasters, terrorist attacks, air-crashes and wide-ranging job layoffs.[1] A variant form has been found among rescue and emergency services personnel who blame themselves for doing too little to help those in danger, and among therapists, who may feel a form of guilt in the face of their patients' suffering.
Sufferers sometimes blame themselves for the deaths of others, including those who died while rescuing the survivor or whom the survivor tried unsuccessfully to save.[2]
Survivor syndrome[edit]
Survivor syndrome, also known as concentration camp syndrome (or KZ syndrome on account of the German term Konzentrationslager),[3] are terms which have been used to describe the reactions and behaviors of people who have survived massive and adverse events, such as the Holocaust, the Rape of Nanking, and the HIV/AIDS epidemic.[4] They are described as having a pattern of characteristic symptoms including anxiety and depression, social withdrawal, sleep disturbance and nightmares, physical complaints and mood swings with loss of drive.[5] Commonly such survivors feel guilty that they have survived the trauma and others—such as their family, friends, and colleagues—did not.
Both conditions, along with other descriptive syndromes covering a range of traumatic events are now subsumed under posttraumatic stress disorder.[6]
Social responses[edit]
|This section requires expansion. (November 2008)
Sufferers may with time divert their guilt into helping others deal with traumatic situations. They may describe or regard their own survival as insignificant. Survivors who feel guilty sometimes suffer self-blame and clinical depression.[citation needed]

Early disaster response and grief therapy methods both attempt to prevent survivor guilt from arising. Where it is already present, therapists attempt to recognize the guilt and understand the reasons for its development. Next, a therapist may present a sufferer with alternative, hopeful views on the situation. The emotional damage and trauma is then recognized, released and treated. With growing self-confidence the survivor's guilt may be relieved, and the survivor may come to understand that the traumatic event was the result of misfortune, not of the survivor's actions. Once able to view himself or herself as a sufferer, not one who caused suffering, the survivor can mourn and continue with life.

Waylon Jennings was a guitarist for Buddy Holly's band and initially had a seat on the ill-fated aircraft on The Day the Music Died. But Jennings gave up his seat to the sick J.P. "Big Bopper" Richardson, only to learn later of the plane's demise. When Holly learned that Jennings was not going to fly, he said, "Well, I hope your ol' bus freezes up." Jennings responded, "Well, I hope your ol' plane crashes." This exchange of words, though made in jest at the time, haunted Jennings for the rest of his life.[7][8] Jennings, who later became a country music star, expressed survivor's guilt about Richardson's death.
Holocaust survivor Primo Levi, haunted by his experiences in Auschwitz, explored his survivor's guilt extensively in his autobiographical books, notably in I sommersi e i salvati (The Drowned and the Saved). His death was reportedly a suicide, and towards the end of his life he suffered from depression, possibly induced by his experiences.
References in popular culture[edit]
In film[edit]
The 1979 novel Sophie's Choice and the subsequent movie feature a Polish Holocaust survivor who had to choose which one of her two young children was allowed to survive.[9]
In the 1980 film, Ordinary People, based on the novel of the same name, Conrad Jarrett is a young man who struggles with surviving a sailing accident which killed his older brother. As Jarrett realizes that he is angry at his brother's recklessness, he confronts the very cause of his problems and begins to accept his own survival had nothing to do with his brother's death.[10]
In Video Games[edit]
In Telltale The Walking Dead Season Two, the protagonist Clementine feels that she is responsible for the death of Lee, the protagonist of the first season, since she thinks that when a man with a grudge against Lee used her parents as a way to lure her out and kidnap her and it caused Lee to be careless looking for her which led to him get bitten by a zombie and, after rescuing her, making Clementine either shoot him or leave him to turn into a zombie. Her friends try to tell her otherwise but she still feels that her immaturity, stubbornness, and urge to get her parents back lead to Lee's demise.
In The Last of Us, Ellie tells Joel at the very end of the game that when she got bitten she was with her friend Riley who got bit as well and the two decided to "lose their minds together" but Ellie was immune to the infection and Riley wasn't so she feels that it's her fault that Riley died and she didn't.

Enid News & Eagle
ENID, Okla. —
The men who are running for election for our city council all say our citizens need to regain trust in the city council, and they will see that it happens.
That sounds really good to me. I wish we could vote them all in! I hope we will have a record turnout to vote, showing that we are citizens who are enough to vote and are not just complainers. We owe new and present council members that courtesy. What's the old saying, "Put up or shut up"?
So now, our scenario may include our city government going into the hotel business. Is this not in competition with other lodging owners? Will our city eventually go into other types of business? Where does the competition end? Think about it.
Where will the funding for the city-owned hotel come from? I would think the city money bags are a bit depleted after the convention center construction and for the overruns on that project.
Do we get to vote for or against the hotel project before we can know the convention center is at least paying its own way? Or will we need to vote ourselves some bonds and taxes to get the convention center and the hotel some operating funds, perchance all those crowds don't come as expected? Is anyone counting chickens before the eggs are hatched?
We still need some major water situations resolved — not only for homeowners, but for the commercial gray-water situations. Any new businesses will also need water. Shouldn't water be at the top of the to-do list?
What is the big hurry on $50 million for parks and trails? Let's take care of some necessities before we start putting out cosmetic fixes.

Jeffersonville, Ind. (WDRB) - There has been an unexpected delay in the trial of a Southern Indiana man accused of murder.
Dale Bagshaw is accused of stabbing his estranged wife Kelly in a Jeffersonville parking lot while their two young children watched from a window in November of 2011.
Defense attorneys did not want a court-appointed mental health expert to testify, and said there was a conflict of interest. That doctor is the same physician that treated Bagshaw in jail after his arrest.
"There is a checklist that a judge goes through that says can you be fair and impartial and you are disinterested and when you have that prior relationship there," said Bagshaw's attorney Perry McCall.
"There is an interest there, so that causes concern."
The judge ruled the jury could not hear the testimony. The trial has been delayed while the court searches to appoint another mental health professional to testify.
McCall said there had to be another psychiatric evaluation performed, which is why they have taken a break.
Prosecutors said the defense has known the doctor would testify for more than a year.
"All I can say is that this is an objection that could have been made before the last day of the trial,"
"I am not going to cast any blame on Mr. McCall or say anything bad about him, but from a procedural standpoint, these types of objections should not be made on the last day of trial as a witness is coming to the stand," said Clark County Chief Deputy Prosecutor Jeremy Mull.
The victim's friends are upset at this latest development.
"Angry, upset," said Kelly Bagshaw's Donna McDonald when asked how this made her feel.
"I feel like this should have been looked into a year ago, not the last day."
McDonald said she was hoping the closing arguments would take place Wednesday, so the jury could start deliberating.
"I was hoping it would that it would hurry up and get over with because I want to talk about the kids," McDonald said.
"These kids don't have a momma, don't have a daddy anymore, they don't have a home anymore. They are in a house, but not in a home, there's a difference between a house and a home, there's love in a home."
Prosecutors and the defense attorney said the trial could resume as soon as Friday. If convicted of murder, Bagshaw could spend up to 65 years in prison.

ATHENS, Ga. —
The Oklahoma State women's golf team had a solid third round Thursday at the NCAA Division I Women's Golf Championship to move up several spots in the team standings.
The Cowgirls shot a collective 6-over, 294 to slide up to 20th — one shot ahead of fellow Big 12 Conference competitor Texas — with one more round to make even more noise at the University of Georgia Golf Course.
All five of OSU's golfers had solid performances, with freshman Julie Yang and juniors Jayde Panos and Lauren Falley each recording a round of 73.
Falley, Oklahoma State's fifth golfer, set the tone for the day for the Cowgirls with just three bogeys and a pair of birdies for her 1-over 73.
Panos started strong in her third round, making the turn at 3-under. But a string of three bogeys and bogey on her final hole landed her at 1-over.
Yang was steady in her Thursday round with two bogeys and a birdie. She stands at 3-over and in a tie for 24th in her first college national championship.
OSU's top golfer, Kelsey Vines, had her best round of the week with a 3-over 75 for the Cowgirls' final score to attribute to the team score. Vines was slightly erratic, but still managed three birdies to help offset four bogeys and a double bogey.
Oklahoma State's Josephine Janson shot a 76 in her third shot at the course and stands tied for 86th in the individual standings.
Cowgirls are just seven strokes with the next seven teams ahead of them in the team leaderboard. University of Southern California remains in the lead with a 17-stroke advantage over Duke. USC's Annie Park still holds the lead for medalist honors with a two-stroke advantage over Ally McDonald of Mississippi State and Alabama's Stephanie Meadow.

John Minock makes sure he looks at the jurors dead-on when asking his questions.
Minock says on some areas it would involve more work like digging up trolley tracks? Yes that was the case on Broadway.
Witness says the best contractors who could do the best work fastest were ones given change orders.
9:43AM Witness talks about test/pilot project with DLZ. after that project, they had 2 contractors working with them.
So basically the pilot was a dry run for what became CM 2012? That is correct.
Going back to 2014 and 2015 on how bids were scored. Originally lowest bid was $12 million and higest bid was $18 million- 50% difference, that's high right? Yes.
So your boss said to you we can't trust bids on the fringes? Right.
"Since there is such a large disparity of proposals in this case" reads the witness. Goes on to read that it might be low-balling that would require large amount of change orders.
Did you draft this for Latimer? Yes.
9:49AM Minock references a lawsuit in 1977.
Look at document that appoints first special administrator, Coleman A. Young. Document says special administrator full power over the water department without having to go to city council. Administered by Judge John Feikens.
Archer and Kilpatrick each in turn appointed special administrators? Yes.
Another order continuing special administrator powers for Archer? Yes.
This special administratorship was issued because waste was being discharged into the waters so the EPA helped set this up.
This order restates history of special administratorship and the powers. The order says the special administrator has full power to control water system and anything related to it? Yes.
Then look at motion to replace special administrator- Judge Feikens finds that things have improved so much at water department that special administartor no longer needed. January 5th 2006.
Minock says that during Mercado's tenure they didn't violate the waste water discharge permit? True.
The dissolution of special administratorship was during struggle of possible take over of Water Department? Yes.
Governor Engler wanted to take it over? Yes.
So for many years there were behind the scenes negotiations to change the structure? Yes.
Minock says that the mayor was empowered to award contracts without Water Board or City Council? Yes.
Mayor could have delayed decisions on contracts or cancel for any reason? Yes.
But the mayors kept things intact and kept Water Board involved even when they didn't have to? Yes.
Mercado took office in June 2002? Yes.
After nationwide search? Correct.

Here's some exciting news following yesterday's presentation of a 10,000 signature petition by Mandi Mader, leader of Start School Later Montgomery County, and her community coalition, to the Montgomery County School Board.
"We're delighted that after we presented the petition this a.m., Dr. Starr announced that that he is going to establish a work group to take a serious look at the sleep and educational research and possible options for Montgomery County," Mrs. Mader told supporters in an email yesterday.
"He is not making any promises, but we are very happy with this outcome. We are hopeful we will be invited to join the work group and will be keeping a very close eye on the progress. Thanks for making a positve difference in the world - especially in our children's world."
MCPS issued the following press release:
Superintendent Establishes Work Group to Study Bell Times
Superintendent of Schools Joshua P. Starr announced today (December 11, 2012) the establishment of a work group to study the issue of school bell times.
The work group will look at past reports done by MCPS on this issue; review public input and correspondence that have been received; analyze the efforts of other jurisdictions that have considered changing bell times; review current literature and research; and gather community input.
"This is a very complex issue and I want to make sure we have a full understanding of the impact that school bell times have on student achievement and other areas of development," Dr. Starr said. "A change in school bell times would affect every student in Montgomery County, and would have a significant impact on our budget and operations. Therefore, it is imperative we have all the information we need before making any decisions."The work group will begin meeting soon and a report should be completed sometime in the spring.
Changing school start times for high school students has been discussed in Montgomery County and throughout the nation. MCPS studied this issue extensively in 1998 and released a report entitled "Changing Bell Times." No changes were made to bell times as a result of the report. The issue has been raised at different times over the past 10 years and on Tuesday, a group of parents submitted an onlin petition to the Board of Education asking the district to move back school start times.
This is good news for advocates of healthier school schedules who have been working with Montgomery County on this effort and continue to work for change in school districts in Anne Arundel County, Fairfax County, and others across the country. For more information, visit www.startschoollater.net

A staffer for gubernatorial candidate and Bellevue resident Rob McKenna resigned after an uproar over .
The Stranger's blog "The Slog" uncovered posts by staffer Kathlyn Ehl that were posted in January: "shut up and speak english #asians" and in November: "If it takes you an entire green light to walk in front of my car GET A WHEELCHAIR #toooldtowalk" (punctuation in the original text).
While Ehl, a recent graduate of the University of Washington according to her LinkedIn account, has since deleted the two tweets, as well as others from her Twitter account, The Stranger posted the history of her tweets as of Friday before her timeline was edited.
McKenna's campaign reported that Ehl resigned after an exchange between Ms. Ehl and the leaders of the campaign's Asian American Coalition.
The campaign for McKenna, the state attorney general and leading Republican in the race for governor, said in a statement that Ehl's continued participation would be a "constant reminder of her lapse in judgement."
The campaign said that Ehl started work as a campaign volunteer in April and, following her graduation from the University of Washington, became a paid policy assistant last month. She was suspended without pay after the tweets came to light, according to the campaign.
The campaign released a statement, which included the following statements from campaign manager Randy Pepple and W. Walter Liang, McKenna's Seattle-North King County Steering Committee chairman and Asian American Coalition co-chair.
"I felt it was important to provide an opportunity for our Asian American Coalition leaders, who have spent countless hours over the last year working to advance our campaign in their community, to let Kathlyn know how hurtful her comments were to them," said Randy Pepple, McKenna's campaign manager. "It was important for her to thoroughly understand their feelings and to apologize to them for her comments.
"After consulting with the leaders of our Asian American Coalition, members of our Seattle Steering Committee, and several others I reached out to, I accepted Kathlyn Ehl's resignation from our campaign this morning," Pepple added.
"As the father of two young women, it pains me to accept the resignation of a young woman for a mistake which occurred before she had even begun her career. However, as we have said, and Kathlyn readily acknowledges, her tweets were offensive and insensitive. Kathlyn suggested, and I agreed after consultation with some of our campaign's grassroots leaders, that her ongoing involvement on the campaign would be a constant reminder of her lapse in judgment.
"Life teaches us difficult lessons, and sometimes at a very young age. My hope is that she will find some benefit from having learned this lesson now, as it will undoubtedly be a long-lasting one," Pepple concluded.
Pepple's decision came after a meeting had been arranged to encourage direct dialogue between Ms. Ehl and McKenna's Asian American Coalition and Seattle Steering Committee leaders.
"My fellow volunteers appreciated hearing from Ms. Ehl and the campaign's willingness to seek input from us," said W. Walter Liang, McKenna's Seattle-North King County Steering Committee chairman and Asian American Coalition co-chair. "My colleagues and I are confident Ms. Ehl's apology is sincere, but we also feel it is important to show the community that even an immature error cannot be overlooked when it has such a profound impact."
What do you think? Was this fair?

FORT GIBSON — Keys is trying to take a different trek to the state tournament this season. After winning regional titles the past three seasons, the Cougars are attempting to navigate through the area consolation bracket.
So far so good.
Trevor Eubanks torched Westville for 21 points as Class 3A No. 15 Keys held off the Yellowjackets, 44-39, at Fort Gibson's Harrison Fieldhouse on Thursday afternoon.
Next up for Keys in the Area III consolation semifinals will be 3A No. 16 Adair today at 3 p.m. in Fort Gibson.
"We just have to battle through," Keys coach Duane Jones said. "I think we can be there (the state tournament), we just have to take a different path."
The Cougars (14-12) kept their season alive mainly because Eubanks came to life in the third quarter.
After Westville cut Keys' lead to 24-21, Eubanks buried three consecutive 3-pointers and eventually converted an old-fashioned three-point play to up the Cougars' advantage to 36-25 with 26 seconds left in the third period.
"I just had to quit thinking and shoot," said Eubanks, who finished 5 of 16 from the field and 8 of 11 from the free-throw line. "We finally got the ball inside and then I got open looks."
Westville, which ends its season at 16-11, came as close as six (37-31) midway through the fourth quarter, but a rebound and a stick-back by Keys' Mason Turman all but sealed the victory for Keys, which went up 41-31 with 3:02 left.
The Yellowjackets being within five at the end was the result of some cosmetic work late when Justin Self made two treys. Self, the only Westville player to score in double figures, led the Yellowjackets with 12 points.
"I felt like we controlled the game," said Eubanks, who also grabbed six rebounds. "It was a five-point game, but I felt like it was a 20-point lead. Felt like we controlled the game and played good."
Neither team excelled at shooting the basketball, with Keys finishing at 31.1 percent (14 of 45) from the field. Westville was even worse at 28.1 percent (16 of 57).
"We didn't shoot very well," said Westville coach Eudean McVey, who last took the Yellowjackets to the area tournament in 2005.
"...We just couldn't bust a shot when we needed to. It kind of put us behind the 8-ball a little bit."
The biggest in the game was enjoyed by Keys on the glass. The Cougars out-rebounded Westville 43-32.
"I thought we did a good job in the boards, overall," said Jones, whose team enjoyed a 26-15 rebounding edge in the first half. "I thought our defense was really good, too. They're a 3-point shooting team that likes to drive and kick, and we didn't give them any opportunities."
Credit Keys' proficiency in the rebounding department to the return of senior post player, Peyton Ragsdale. After missing the Cougars' two regional-tournament games, Ragsdale returned and had 10 points and 11 rebounds.
"That kind of opens everything up," Jones said of having Ragsdale back. "You saw it yourself, they're committing two or three guys to him (on the block) and having other people help. That opened Trevor up and it opened the other post up."
Keys now needs two more wins in the area tournament to secure its second trip to the state tournament in school history.
"It's magic number five now," Eubanks said. "We're trying to get to the state championship, and we're two more days away from getting (to the state tournament)."

Allison Torres Burtka
In a preliminary report on the fast-track review process that resulted in FDA approval of the Menaflex knee-repair implant, the agency found that political pressures affected decision-makers and that the process lacks transparency, documentation, and clear procedures. The breakdown in the system constituted "a clear deviation from processes needed to support scientific integrity," the report concluded.

"We heard a big thump!" says John Allen, as he shows FOX 29's Bruce Gordon around the wreckage of his backyard in Warminster.
Allen was describing the SUV that crashed through there in the pre-dawn hours of December 26- the fifth time errant drivers have come calling since the late 1970s and the fourth time since 2005.
The crashes are so frequent, Allen has installed metal bollards, a wooden fence and a row of Poplar trees to slow down the misguided vehicles.
"I'm glad the tree was here to stop 'em!" says Allen, although the tree clipped the gutter on the back of his house when it crashed down after being struck by the SUV.
Allen's house sits at the end of a dentist's office parking lot that is perfectly aligned with a 'T' intersection along the border of Montgomery County and Bucks County.
Where Meetinghouse Road dead ends into County Line, confused motorists may think the parking lot is a continuation of Meetinghouse.
It isn't.
Allen says he's reached out to township officials, county officials and PennDOT for help getting improved signage or something to block those errant vehicles from crashing onto his property.
"The sense I get is that they'd rather I didn't bother them. My wife is scared to death. She won't sleep- she sleeps downstairs for her back on the couch. She won't sleep downstairs anymore," because she's afraid of a car coming through the back wall of their home.
It's gotten so bad, Allen's taken to parking his car at the end of the dentist's office parking lot overnight- with reflectors taped onto the windows- hoping errant drivers will stop in time- or hit the car and not his house.
Finally, he called FOX 29.
"I'm desperate! I'll reach out to anybody!!"
Gordon spent the afternoon on the phone, first with PennDOT officials, and then with Warminster's township manager. Warminster officials have agreed to request that PennDOT install large, new signs at the entrance to that dentist's office, reminding drivers that it's a parking lot- not a road.
PennDOT officials have told Gordon they will consider such a request, and seemed to agree that improved signage just might keep traffic out of Allen's yard.
We'll keep you posted.
Have problems? Tell us.

Nature's swimming pools are key to beating the summer heat. Fortunately, you'll find them everywhere, from New York to California.
Who says you have to decide between a beach vacation and an urban escape?
Nothing takes the edge off a hot summer day like a dip in the pool, but if you're looking for a little more excitement this summer, we have the perfect suggestion.
What's your favorite outdoor activity? Whether it's swimming, hiking, boating or fishing, don't forget to protect your skin and eyes from the sun when you head outside to enjoy long summer days.
Officials in a California beach town are extending a temporary ban on fishing from the city's pier after a great white shark hooked by a fisherman attacked a passing swimmer.
Beat the beach and lose the lake with a refreshing dip in a freshwater oasis.
Now that summer is here, a trip to the shore should bring familiar smells: seawater, sunscreen and, depending on your beach of choice, sewage.
Persistent low water levels on the Great Lakes and St. Lawrence Seaway could cost the region's economy as much as $9.6 billion by 2030 and nearly $19 billion by midcentury if conditions continue, according to newly published research from the University of Toronto.
Jul 25, 2012; 5:00 AM ET If you're headed to the beach, keep an eye out for any of these watches and warnings issued by the NWS.

FAYETTEVILLE, Ark. — Tulsa was left to once again wonder what might have been against Arkansas.
The Golden Hurricane, which hadn't defeated its Southeastern Conference neighbor since 1976, let a fourth-quarter lead slip away Saturday in a 19-15 loss to the Razorbacks.
The defeat was the 18th straight for Tulsa (7-2, 5-0 Conference USA) against Arkansas, putting an end to a seven-game winning streak this season and leaving the Golden Hurricane disheartened.
"We thought we had it, so it will sit bad in our stomach for a while," quarterback Cody Green said.
Tulsa appeared poised to snap its losing streak to the Razorbacks after taking a 15-13 lead in the third quarter following a 29-yard field goal by Daniel Schwarz.
Tulsa had a chance to extend that lead late in the third quarter after driving to the Arkansas 5, but Green's fourth-down pass was batted down by Trey Flowers after coach Bill Blankenship elected to bypass the short field goal attempt.
Dennis Johnson and Cobi Hamilton then responded with the plays the Razorbacks needed the most — keeping Arkansas' slim bowl chances alive and once again crushing Tulsa's hopes.
Johnson rushed for 109 yards and two touchdowns, and Hamilton set the school's single-season receptions record, as the Razorbacks rallied. The win was a welcomed bit of relief after yet another disheartening loss, this one the week before to Mississippi, in a season full of disappointment for the Razorbacks — who began the season ranked in the Top 10.
"It's fun," Hamilton said. "Everything is fun. Everybody is happy. The locker room is happy. The atmosphere is happy, so you get these records and all these big games, it's fun."
Johnson's 1-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter put the Razorbacks up for good, and it came after a pair of catches by Hamilton — who finished with 11 catches for 177 yards.
Hamilton now has 69 catches for 1,077 yards this season, breaking Jarius Wright's mark of 66 catches in a season. None were bigger Saturday for Hamilton than his 41-yard catch, followed by a 14-yard grab that set up Johnson's go-ahead touchdown.
The Razorbacks' relief following the win was only equaled by Tulsa's disappointment. Tulsa had won seven straight games entering the contest, and Blankenship and the players talked openly throughout the week about how much a win against Arkansas would mean.
Following Tulsa's failed fourth-down attempt, the Razorbacks took advantage of the new life behind quarterback Tyler Wilson and Hamilton. Wilson, who finished 21 of 31 passing 272 yards, found Hamilton for the back-to-back catches early in the fourth quarter to take Arkansas to the Tulsa 1.
The catches were Hamilton's 67th and 68th of the season, and he is now just 40 yards behind Wright's school single-season yards record of 1,117.
Arkansas (4-5, 2-3 SEC) must now win two of its final three games — against South Carolina, Mississippi State and LSU — to reach bowl eligibility.
Tulsa outgained Arkansas 203-158 in total yardage in the first half, and trailed 13-12 at the half after a pair of failed extra-point attempts and a missed field goal.
"We felt like we were outplaying them, but we didn't outscore them," Blankenship said. "Credit Arkansas for making the plays they had to make."
Tulsa effort not enough against Hogs

In one of my several reviews of the "Up" documentaries, I referred to the series as the noblest project in cinema history. I am older now and might refrain from such hyperbole. But we are all older now, and this series proves it in a most deeply moving way.
You know the premise. In 1964, British TV produced a film titled "7 Up," which focused on the lives, hopes and expectations of 14 children. They tended to sort out into upper and working classes. One unspoken question was whether the British class system was fading away.
Every seven years since then, the series has revisited as many of the original 14 who have agreed to continue to participate. Now here is the eighth film, "56 Up." Remarkably, all 14 are still alive. Michael Apted, now a major British director, was a researcher on the first film, took over as director with "14 Up," and has continued ever since. These people are all bonded through the continuity of this remarkable idea, although it's clear here that some of the participants consider this form of fame a mixed blessing.
In the U.K., their faces are well known. Consider Tony (no family names are given). As a kid we saw him working as a groom in a racing stable. Later, he had a brief career as a jockey. When that didn't work out, he "started on the Knowledge," which is what London cabbies call the long process of memorizing more or less every street or landmark in London. The rest of his life he has driven a taxi.
"56 Up" edits together footage from the earlier films to retrace the life of each character. We watch Tony as he grows older, gets married, has children, buys a vacation home in Spain, survives the real estate bust and navigates uncertainties in the taxi business. (When times are good for the Arabs, times are even better for cabbies. When the price of oil goes down, so do their fares.)
Tony recalls that one day he picked up the "spaceman" Buzz Aldrin, who was the second man to walk on lunar soil. As he pulled over his cab, a man in the next car handed him a piece of paper and asked for an autograph. Tony passed it back to Aldrin. "Not him!" said the autograph seeker. "You!"
The character I've come to care and worry about the most over the years is Neil, who is … troubled. He was born in Liverpool and filled with life as a kid, but by 21, something had gone wrong. Since then he has moved through a series of oddly assorted jobs, from home construction to politician. He has never married. He has often been homeless or a step away. He's wandered Britain, living on outskirts, usually involved in something vaguely idealistic. Having won local office on the Liberal Democrat ticket, Neil finds his latest occupation is as a canon in his local Anglican church. "I can do most of the jobs of a priest," he says somewhat ruefully.
Something went wrong with Neil. No telling what. How can we account for Sue, who we met with her pals Jackie and Lynn as students in London's working-class East End. Divorced with two children, she found a secretarial job and rose to a top administration post. We see her speaking to a lecture hall filled with students, and admitting how strange that seems to her, having never attended university herself.
"56 Up" revisits all of their lives, including a scientist now at the University of Wisconsin and a man who dropped out of the series and has now dropped back in, admittedly to promote his band. If there is one lesson we can learn from this film, it is that as we grow older, we tend to grow happier and more successful. As nearly as we can tell, all the subjects have grown wiser, more useful, more pleased with the way things are turning out.
I have no idea what that means. From a statistical viewpoint, it may mean nothing. But here they are in 1964, 7 years old, who Michael Apted pays a call on every seven years. It is a mystery, this business of life. I can't think of any under cinematic undertaking that allows us to realize that more deeply. Even Neil, I believe, has found the sort of happiness he is suited for.
This message came to me from a reader named Peter Svensland. He and a fr...

With Colin Campbell's reign of error coming to an end, what does the NHL's new head disciplinarian need to do to right the ship?

Their 8-game playoff winning streak is history but the Tampa Bay Lightning are still in good shape as they head home to take on the Bruins in game 3 of the Eastern Conference Finals
How can you possibly enjoy the Conference Finals more? Um... have you tried alcohol? Time for a drinking game!
The key for Boston is riling up the Lightning. The key for the Lightning is getting past Tim Thomas. That about summarizes tonight's game 2.

We are still looking for more new officials to sign up so we can adequately staff race events.
Please do not miss this opportunity for the year as we have invited one of the best officials (Dot Abbott) in the country to teach this clinic.
Please consider becoming an official in Northern California/Nevada.
We continue to face a shortage of qualified officials in our district. If we do
not have enough officials to staff the number of high caliber races we hold each
weekend, 2013 and onwards could result in fewer events being held.
The ideal official is someone who
* enjoys the sport of cycling
* does not mind working long hours and travelling to races
* have attention to detail skills and willing to learn new ones
* has time to work at least 5 races a year
+ bonus but not required, if you know how to ride a motorcycle or want to ride
as a passenger
+ 2nd bonus but not required, if you have a proven record of managing teams and
projects. This translates well to the role of Chief Referee, the official in
charge of supervising a race and working with key stakeholders to ensure that an
event is run safely and fairly.
Preliminary plans for the clinic and sign up are posted here.

Please respond by Friday, 4/6/2012.

The Selma Awakening: How the Civil Rights Movement Tested and Changed Unitarian Universalism
ByMark D. Morrison-Reed
"Selma changed the United States, and Selma changed Unitarian Universalism. Mark Morrison-Reed tells the story in exquisite detail, tracing the hundred-year history and the interdependent web of relationships that led hundreds of Unitarian Universalists to march for justice in Selma. In a work of scholarly depth and heartfelt passion, Morrison-Reed gives voice to both his admiration for the achievements of Unitarian Universalists and his anguish at our shortcomings, inviting all of us align our values in practice with our espoused values."
—Dan McKanan, Ralph Waldo Emerson Unitarian Universalist Association Senior Lecturer in Divinity, Harvard Divinity School
Not for Ourselves Alone: Theological Essays on Relationship
By Laurel Hallman and Burton D. Carley
"Perhaps individualism was liberating in the rigid cultures of the nineteenth century. Perhaps. Today individualism is not liberating; it separates us. It creates a prison of the self. We are relational creatures. Our very sense of self, ironically enough, emerges from our network of relationships. We become fully human in relationship: with one another, with our past, with our shared aspirations, with our vision of the holy. This marvelous collection explores relationship as a spiritual discipline. What a needed and timely blessing it is."
—Peter Morales, President, Unitarian Universalist Association

Children of the Same God: The Historical Relationship Between Unitarianism, Judaism, and Islam
By Susan J. Ritchie
"I didn't know that!" I said that to myself several times each chapter. So will you. Susan Ritchie has given us new insights that will shift your understanding of Unitarian history, as they did mine. The Unitarian calling to a catalytic role in interfaith relations has deep roots, but also dangers. Both are traced here.

The 7-15 kW GA VSD+ range of compact, oil-injected rotary screw compressors feature an integrated dryer and a motor that exceeds the latest NEMA Premium efficiency requirements. The motor and drive train share a single drive shaft and are vertically aligned. In addition, the motor drive train is enclosed, resulting in a NEMA 4 rating for protection against dust, debris and water. A single closed oil-circuit cools the motor and lubricates the element and bearings, resulting in an efficient, quiet compressor (down to 62 dBA). Additional features and improvements include a more efficient fan and a strong air intake system.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.
