Is Stress Contagious? The Health Risks of Secondhand Stress
Dealing with Others' Stress
Since January, Lisa, 45, has been walking on eggshells at work. This would be fine if she were a chicken farmer. But Lisa is a hospital research assistant in Columbus, Ohio, and the people in her small department periodically end up tiptoeing around one particular staff member because she's so high-strung.
"She won't ever tell us what's stressing her out," says Lisa. "She just becomes sullen and snappish and seems about to come apart. It's hard not to absorb her tension. At the end of the day, I'm emotionally exhausted." Lisa and five coworkers have each tried to talk to the "dark cloud" as well as to their manager about the problem -- but to no avail. "We've reached our breaking point, we're so frustrated. She won't let any of us help her and our supervisor, while sympathetic, says she can't require someone to be cheerful -- or pleasant, even."
To be sure, dealing with someone else's stress is, well, stressful. While at first you may try to be understanding, eventually, if there's no improvement, you may wind up like Lisa, feeling the strain yourself. In effect, another person's stress can spread like secondhand smoke: It becomes your problem because you're there.
"Other people's excessive or ongoing stress pollutes the environment," says Brad Gilbreath, PhD, associate professor of organizational leadership and supervision at Indiana University-Purdue University at Fort Wayne. "It erodes civility and causes anxiety. A stressed person is a loose cannon. You never know what is going to set him off when, and that's enormously unsettling."
It seems counterintuitive: You would think that being once removed from the source of stress would help to blunt its harshest effects. But secondhand stress is often just as corrosive, since you're powerless to deal with it directly. With firsthand stress, after all, you can act -- confront your problems, attempt a resolution, count to 10. With secondhand stress, often you can't do much more than stand there and take it.

Large animal data demonstrates CytoSorb® successful in protecting viability of organs; shows potential for improving human critical care
CytoSorbents is a therapeutic device company using blood purification to modulate the immune system, reduce severe inflammation, and prevent or treat organ failure caused by life-threatening illnesses. The company today announced the presentation of data from its research collaboration at the Annual Meeting of the Western Thoracic Surgical Association in Hawaii, being held today.
Dr. David Rabkin, assistant professor of Surgery, Division of Cardiothoracic Surgery at the University of Washington Medical Center in Seattle, Wash., will present the potential future use of CytoSorb® blood purification system to protect the viability of organs donated by patients who are officially dead from irreversible brain injury, but whose organs are still working.
"While the vast majority of organ transplants rely on cadaveric donors, it's long been appreciated that brain death creates an environment hostile to organ function. This effect is particularly pronounced in the heart where estimates suggest that about 20 percent of potential organ donors are excluded from cardiac donation due to the effects of brain death on cardiac function," Dr. Rabkin stated in the press release.
"One of the components of the body's reaction to brain death is a surge in inflammatory cytokines which have been shown in other contexts to importantly depress heart function. Using the CytoSorb hemoadsorption technology in a porcine model we demonstrated that cytokine filtration significantly improves heart function after brain death compared to brain dead animals that did not undergo cytokine filtration. This may have important implications for expanding the cardiac donor pool and reducing the increasing disparity between the supply and demand of hearts for transplantation and warrants further study."
Dr. Chan said the data demonstrates the harmful effect excessive cytokines have on vital organs, and shows CytoSorb's ability to protect organ function in a potentially important clinical application.
CytoSorb is currently approved to treat excessive levels of cytokines in the EU.

Here is the latest Wisconsin news from The Associated Press
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney says he plans to create 240,000 jobs in Wisconsin if elected. He's airing a new commercial statewide starting today. It's the first his campaign has paid for in Wisconsin. In the ad, Romney says he will help to create 240,000 jobs for Wisconsin.
MILWAUKEE (AP) — Vice President Joe Biden is making his second stop to Wisconsin this month. The Obama re-election campaign says he's set to travel to western Wisconsin on Thursday. No other details were immediately released yesterday.
GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — The family of a fallen Marine has decided not to continue organizing a run that had been held for the last seven years in his honor. Private First Class Ryan Jerabek was killed with 11 other Marines in 2004 in an ambush in Iraq. His family had been organizing the annual Ryan Jerabek Memorial Challenge, which also raised money for the Semper Fi Fund. But Jerabek's father says the family is burning out and had to discontinue it for their own well-being.
ARGYLE, Wis. (AP) — A father says his three young sons were killed in a house fire in southwestern Wisconsin. Thirty-two-year-old Armin Wand says his wife couldn't find the phone when the fire started at their Argyle house to call 911. He says she ran outside for help while he tried to fight the blaze around 3 a.m. Friday. Argyle is 34 miles southwest of Madison.

Why is an opened bottle of amontillado sherry that has been sitting on my counter for months with an EtOH concentration of 18.5% still perfectly good, while a bottle of Ridge zinfandel that is 15.9% EtOH spoils within a few days of opening? Is it that small difference in EtOH that makes the difference, or something else? And why does an opened bottle of fruit juice last for weeks in the refrigerator, but not wine?
Dec 06 2008
Question For Comrade PhysioProf's Readers
22 comments
Isis the Scientist
Your Zin spoils to keep you from drinking that swill. It's actually doing you a favor.
Heat treatment.
Fruit juice in your fridge is pasteurized, sherry is distilled to fortify it. Wine contains lots of compounds that are sensitive to oxygen that were removed by the heat processes that sherry and fruit juice went through.
There are people who would argue that your sherry has degraded in flavor after being opened but it is certainly less than wine.
Dr. Jekyll & Mrs. Hyde
Is sherry distilled? I think it's wine that has added spirits to "fortify" it (fortify its drinkers, more like). My guess would be that the sherry has been completely fermented, while your Zin still has some sugar in it. Why one is sensitive to oxidation and the other is not, I'm not sure.
But thanks for giving me an Amontillado craving.
George Smiley
Sherry is a fortified wine. I'd guess that the small difference in %EtOH may itself be significant (most fermenting yeasts, for example, stop growing at ~15%). In addition, the sherry probably contains less unfermented sugar than the Zin does.
This is why I only drink MadDog 20/20!!
Abel Pharmboy
First things first: Isis, me and CPP need to school you with some real serious Zin.
Hmmmmmm…I tend to defer most to Cat as she is a bonafide food scientist.
Bottom line: are we talking about oxidation or bacteral/fungal contamination?
I submit that the % alcohol matters little in this comparison but rather what one considers "off" in each case. Moreover, are you tasting the results of true bacterial/fungal contamination or are you tasting the oxidation products of the zin?
Sherries are already highly oxidized and if anything, have more residual sugar than a Ridge Zin. The combination of high alcohol (from fortification) and osmotic pressure from the sugar combine to prevent any further "spoiling" of the beverage. However, the "spoiled" nature of wine is exactly what we look for in sherry, amontillado, tawny ports, etc.: that warming, nutty, soothing, mouthfilling flavor.
We expect red wines to have a certain amount of fruity character, even at 16% EtOH, but they'll still oxidize even if the EtOH is too high to permit bacterial growth.
I made a wine back in 1992 that still kicked total and complete ass when we drank the last bottle in 2005. However, I had a half fill of a bottle of the same stuff that within a month began to taste like a tawny port.
What you have, Brother Phys, is a case of expectations. Amontillado is already near maximally oxidized. Even if your Zin was the same exact % EtOH, the fresh red flavors would still oxidize to a flavor reminiscent of amontillado, unless you got some Acetobacter in there that drove things toward acetate.
WRT fruit juice, the vitamin C alone in these juices prevents oxidation. I was blown away by just how potent ascorbate was as an antioxidant when using it as a control in a DPPH assay (2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl, not Don't Post Porn Here). Even with their sugar, most fruit juices have enough antioxidant activity to taste great until the sugars begin to be fermented. For example, apple juice goes "bad" first by oxidation, then later by fermentation, at which time we sell it at a premium as cider.
It is now Saturday evening near 10 pm in my time zone and I shall now take leave for another glass of wine. To my dear colleagues assembled, happy thinking about the science of fermented beverages!
daaaaaayyyuuumm Abel!
Abel Pharmboy
BM….or I'm full of shite. I won't believe any of my own words until Cat weighs in.
BM….or I'm full of shite.
Does anyone else find this profoundly funny, in a Naked Gun, Airplane kind of way?
it's a bad week for CPP to give up Jameson?
Dr. Jekyll & Mrs. Hyde
JP, I know, that's why I prefer to call him Bikey. Too many summers spent working in veterinary offices.
Zin with 16% EtOH? Wow. I didn't know Night Train was a Zin. Either that or you need to stop spiking it with Old Spice.
Interesting thoughts, though I don't know what to make of them….a hat, a brooch, maybe a pterodactyl…? Seriously though, would that account for the vinegar-ization of a reg wine after it sits out for a coupla days? Does sherry have a vinegarish tinge to it (I've never had sherry)?
You owe me a new keyboard; you gave me a drinking problem. And I'll never be able look at Sun Dappled Forest again without thinking of Macho Grande. So you owe me something for that too.
I agree that CPP probably picked the wrong week to quit Jameson.
As to the people who are still looking for the answer for CPP's original question, I just stopped by to say, "Good luck. We're all counting on you."
Comrade PhysioProf
Thanks for info! And who says Comrade PhysioProf gave up Jameson?
alcohol doesn't get a chance to go bad where i'm from.
Seriously though, would that account for the vinegar-ization of a reg wine after it sits out for a coupla days?
Acetic acid bacteria would do the trick, I'd imagine.
Pop culture references go right by CPP in case anyone was wondering. Drives him craaaaazeeee. Hmm, hope sol doesn't read this blog…
Amontillado? Over Macho Grande?
Physiogroupie IV
Obviously, God wants you to finish the Ridge Zinfandel in a day.
I agree with LostMarbles about different types of microbes and their penchant for different types of drinks (juice vs wine).
CPP, time to take a crowbar to your wallet and get a real Zin. Try Dry Creek Vinyards.
Sci agrees with Dr. Isis. The Zin gave up its life so that you would not kill your tastebuds. Friends don't let friends drink Zin.
Sherry is distilled so that is why I said it had been heat treated.
To answer Abel's question about whether the reaction is oxidation or microbial spoilage. With most alcoholic beverages damage is caused by oxidation of the phenolic compounds. Alcohol is an inhibitor to microbial growth, especially at that content. Most yeast fermentations finish because the yeast has been killed by its own end product.
As Abel said, with fruit juices oxidation will occur first and then yeast can grow. BTW, while ascorbic acid is a great antioxidant, it is also an amazing oxidant degrading quickly once exposed to air. You should try it in an oxygen meter. Ascorbic acid also degrades without oxygen being present so manufacturers add extra before bottling/tetrabrixing (it is a word now) so that the label is correct at the time of purchase.
CPP you don't say what year you had; younger wines go off quickly due to oxidation of phenolics. For example, the shelf-life of a Beaujolais Nouveau is probably less than a month even in an unopened bottle (released to be drunk on Nov; out of the stores by Christmas).
Ewan the Zin loving
I feel the need to cast a further vote for the Zinophiles here – and for Ridge especially (although I confess that if my wallet were being crowbarred I'd go for a Shafer Merlot, which is a Merlot that they somehow get to have the complexity and depth of good Zin).
The basic point has been made, though: just drink the rest of the wine :).

The episode openings of "Breaking Bad" are often the show's most striking and formally daring aspects, incorporating music videos, fake commercials, one-take encounters, flashbacks and strange images we don't understand until later in the hour or in the season.
Here's our countdown of the series' ten best -- weigh in with any favorites we left off in the comments.
10. "Better Call Saul": Season 2, Episode 8
Bouncy, good-natured Badger (Matt L. Jones) is a nice guy, but he's not the brightest bulb in the basket, as demonstrated in this sequence in which he gets busted by the cops in a kind of meta-sting operation. A stranger, played by TV and film's go-to lanky actor DJ Qualls, walks up to Badger as he's sitting on a park bench (bearing an add insisting you "Better Call Saul") and tries to buy some meth. Badger's been doing this long enough to sense that something's up -- and as he points out, the brown vans sitting nearby look awfully like surveillance vehicles (instead of vans, they "should do a garbage truck," he suggests). But after his would-be buyer gets angry and goes to walk away, Badger feels bad, and lets himself be talked (and in fact has to do the persuading) into making the sale by the urban legend that undercover policemen have to answer truthfully when asked if they're law enforcement (it is not, as Qualls claims, "in the Constitution"). And down goes Badger, with the brown vans he pointed out before pulling up to unleash a flood of Albuquerque's finest. The hilarious scene, which largely a single take, is also shot with people crossing in front of the camera as if it, too, is part of the surveillance operation, posted across the street.
9. "Pilot": Season 1, Episode 1
The in medias res opening isn't in itself so exceptional, but the first episode of "Breaking Bad" does manage to drop its main character into some incredibly deep shit before we ever get to know him. Walt, in his signature tighty-whiteys and a gas mask, is speeding along a dirt road in the middle of nowhere in a rickety RV with a passed out figure we'll later know to be Jesse at his side and two apparently dead bodies in the back. He's so panicked and the gas mask is so fogged up that he runs off the road where, resigned to getting caught, he takes out a camcorder to record a goodbye message to his family. Whatever we'll come to think of Walt as he becomes more and more of the series' villain as it proceeds, that confession is a powerful look at Walt's despair and his genuine desire to care for his family, one that will later become a warped excuse for amoral behavior. But here it's clear just how much Walt is willing (and preparing) to die -- he greets the approaching sirens with a gun raised. And those pants, fluttering through that big Land of Enchantment sky, are an early precursor for the show's love of strange little details that are introduced and then explained.
8. "Seven Thirty-Seven": Season 2, Episode 1
The opening of this episode and of the second season of "Breaking Bad" turned out to be a repeated motif -- a woozy, doom-laden, enigmatic black and white sequence focusing on that floating eyeball there like the baleful gaze of some watchful deity. It's the White family pool in which that mangled, half-singed teddy bear is floating (no coincidence that two seasons later Gus Fring would face a similar injury), sirens wailing in the background, and as we see more of this flashforward in later episodes -- in "Down," "Over," "Phoenix" and "ABQ," the titles forming a sentence warning of what's to come -- we can only piece together that some disaster is coming, something that will leave two bodies out in the front of the house. What eventually arrives isn't the violent repercussion we might have expected at first, but something weirder and, in some ways, worse. We rarely get to see the addicts using Walt's product, but in some ways the accident seemed like a stand-in for all of the lives that have been ruined for the sake of, in the use of, or by others because of the drugs he's putting out.
Michael P | August 15, 2013 3:15 PM
The opening to 'Buyout' is easily my favourite: one of the saddest and most haunting scenes of the entire series, set to a masterful score.
Dillon James | June 3, 2013 1:41 PM
Such good observation skills here... Very aware of the devices used... A* standard of explanation

how bout grilled opening
Nathan Smith | August 5, 2012 8:10 PM
The Los Pollos Hermanos commerical that includes a wall of falling chicken fading into a pile of blue meth should get more than an honorable mention!
Gabe | August 5, 2012 2:32 PM
The intro to "Shotgun". Dave Porter makes this show's soundtrack so much better! Plus Walt's crazy driving.
Matthew | August 5, 2012 2:29 PM
Here are a few I feel are deserving of a spot:
- Season 3, "One Minute": A young Tio teaches the Cousins a lesson in honor by holding one of their heads underwater. Definitely one of the more disturbing, telling flashbacks of the show.
- Season 5, "Live Free or Die": We STILL don't know what's going on in this one. A flashforward to Walt's 52nd birthday, and he appears to have undergone an identity change.
- Season 5, "Madrigal": The most bizarre opening in BB history. The German, the comical use of flavor names, the suicide... it was truly surreal in a way BB never is.

Seriously? No mention of the opener to season 1's "Crazy Handful of Nothing"?

It seems that these days everyone and their dog is running link auction or has a link selling site. My question is: Will this make google fight even harder against the link mongers? I think not! I think all this sensatialization of link buying and selling will only wreck a good thing and place an extemely diminished return on link popularity.

I know I have big plans for my blog for 2012. Some of mine are:
What are your goals and resolutions for your blog?
My blogging goals for 2012
- Increase readership
- Increase revenue/get sponsorship
- Host a giveaway
- build up an engaging community.
- improve on SEO
SEO stands for Search Engine Optimization. It's when you add certain tags to your posts and name your images with specific titles to help people find your blog easier through search engines, like Google. It can be a bit more complicated when you get into meta-tagging and stuff, which is why I need to work on it some more.
Crafterminds has a really helpful post about it here.
It sounds like our goals are very similar. Good luck with your resolutions!
My goals for 2012 are to
- comment more on blogs
- gain more readers
- learn all I can about SEO
- improve on my web design skills.
I think that this is a very noble and important goal. It is one
of mine also. It is so important to remember when trying to grow
your blog and receive more comments, you have to be willing to
forge friendships and give a little of yourself first. Best of luck
with your resolutions.
Some goals I have for my blog for this year are to
I'm sure I'll think of more but that seems like enough to work
on for now.
All the resolutions sound GREAT!
My main ones:
Improving blog design is a great idea. I really need to change
how my pages are laid out. I currently have my tutorials page
linked to posts with the tag "tutorials," and I'd like to change
them to list all of my tutorials with pictures and a brief piece of
the post instead.
Caroline, I think that connecting with local bloggers is such a
great idea. Not only can you interact online, but you can
potentially form friendships in person as well. I am not sure how
many craft/lifestyle bloggers there are where I'm from, but I would
be interested to find out!
Isn't re-designing your blog the most fun thing about blogging?
I love how it's as artistically rewarding as baking or painting,
yet without any of the annoying clearing up afterwards :)
How often have you redesigned your blog?

So every time a Democrat is elected to federal office we get to hear some pandering about climate change. Today's presidential inauguration speech was no different.
Sure, President Obama went on about gay rights and a variety of other key Democratic platform issues during his address, but he also skimmed over the issue of the planet getting progressively warmer.
Now, I'm not going to get into my personal beliefs on climate change. Frankly, my beliefs are fairly uneducated and pretty uninspired. My issue is with the constant pandering.
Aside from Al Gore what Democratic leader has made real effort to address this horrible impending doom known as climate change? It's talked about all the time and we as a society have been told to believe it's a legitimate threat, but I don't really care because it seems like none of our elected officials who claim to care about this issue actually do. It's the most ignored heavily talked about topic there is.
Movies like The Day After Tomorrow paint climate change as a global death machine and 96 percent of world's scientists say it's a legitimate problem.
If that's the case, why is the Democratic voting constituency not holding their representatives accountable for their lack of addressing this catastrophic issue? Could it be that this issue has been overblown?
I am loathe to agree with Republicans on almost anything, but maybe they're on to something here. We as a society from top to bottom just don't seem to care about global warming and climate change and it seems like the deadline for a global climatic meltdown keeps getting pushed back.
A few years ago scientists said we'd face serious problems by 2050, now they say 2100. Where's the consensus?
The only thing I know at this point is that I've been hammered with the importance of global warming and how it will kill us all over the entirety of my 27 years and no one seems to know much more than I do. I've googled the topic and everything seems so theoretical.
If this is a real issue, then it's commendable that the president and other elected officials intend to combat it, but until there is actually some sort of real legislative push to deter the horror that is climate change, why should any of us care?

(Clearer CLoser pic) Believe it or not this is a "professional" tattoo. The cost was $80 plus my $20 tip. It was the 3rd tattoo I got at 2 Cats Tats in Peoria, but the last. A guy named A-Cat did my first 2 tattoo and they are still perfect 10 years later. This one is garbage done by some arrogant punk that thought I was a Nub. He made his own design rather than the one I asked for and now my Calla Lily looks like a pu$$y. I'm pretty sure he did it on purpose, because about half way through the tattoo he said
"So this is your first tattoo huh?" with a tone of "I'm so much cooler than you"
I said "no it's my 6th." and I showed him my back piece. His entire attitude changed after that, but I still have a coin purse on my dang foot. This tattoo is supposed to represent my love for my daughter, it was a gift for my first Mother's day, and I absolutely hate it.
Rebel Ink Tattoo is an award winning tattoo business in Arizona with 2 Valley Locations in Goodyear and ***** Creek.

On paper, Whiteland is one of the best teams in Class 5A in Indiana.
The Warriors ended the season ranked third in The Associated Press Class 5A poll. They entered Friday night's Class 5A Sectional 14 championship game against Floyd Central at James Sleighter Field with the fifth-highest scoring offense in 5A at 37 points per game.
Once Friday's championship game started, the Warriors showed the Highlanders they were as good as advertised.
Whiteland broke a 20-20 tie midway through the third quarter with 21 unanswered points and for a 41-20 victory and its first sectional championship since 2006.
The Warriors (9-2) will host fifth-ranked and defending three-time Class 4A state champion Indianapolis Cathedral (7-5) next Friday. The Irish beat host Anderson in the 5A Sectional 13 final on Friday, 56-13.
Despite the loss, Floyd Central finished the season with an 8-3 record, which made Highlanders' coach Brian Glesing proud of his players after they went 2-8 in 2012.
"A lot of people would love to have 8-3," Glesing said. "If you asked me at the beginning of the year that you were going to finish 8-3 and be sectional runner-up, I'd say I'll take it. It wasn't pretty last year. Our kids fought and we got to the final game. Hopefully, our goal is to win it next year."
Floyd Central drew first blood at the 6:29 mark of the opening quarter. On second-and-7 at the Whiteland 28-yard line, Highlanders' quarterback Colton Kimm threw a 28-yard touchdown pass to Gaige Klingsmith on a skinny post pattern to put Floyd Central up 6-0. But Highlander place-kicker Ryan Lenz missed the extra-point kick to keep the lead at six points. Lenz's missed point-after-touchdown kick was one of several special teams miscues by Floyd Central on Friday night.
On the ensuing kickoff, Whiteland junior Isaiah Calloway returned the ball nearly 80 yards to put the ball at the Floyd 9. Then senior running back Jeffery Wooten ran the ball the full 9 yards into the end zone to put the Warriors up 7-6.
Whiteland extended its lead to 10-6 when freshman kicker Jacob Ballain nailed a 22-yard field goal from the right hash mark.
On fourth-and-3 at the Highlander 45, Floyd Central made its third crucial mistake in the kicking game. Lenz, who was the Highlanders' punter, saw the snap go over his head, as he covered the ball at the Floyd 18.
On the next play, junior Brandon Benson hit paydirt with an 18-yard TD run to extend the Warriors' advantage to 17-6 at the 3:37 mark of the second quarter.
The Highlanders had a quick answer to the Whiteland score. Klingsmith scored his second touchdown of the night with a 37-yard run on a sweep left to pull Floyd Central to within 17-12 with 2:55 in the first half. Senior Brandon Stout followed Klingsmith's TD with a pass to junior wide receiver Adam Wallace on the two-point conversion, slicing the Warriors' lead to 17-14. Whiteland got its lead back to six at 20-14 thanks to a Ballain 25-yard field goal as time expired in the first half.
"In the first half, I thought we played great defensively. We held them to a couple of field goals in the red zone. But we gave up the big play on the kickoff, which hurt us," Glesing said. "But in the first half, I thought we played defensively real good against that spread offense they got."
Floyd Central got the ball first in the second half and took full advantage of it. The Highlanders marched 67 yards on 13 plays, which was capped off by a 2-yard touchdown scamper by senior Gabriel Kennedy to tie the score at 20. Lenz missed another PAT to keep the game deadlocked.
Whiteland made Floyd Central pay on the ensuing kickoff again as sophomore Shaw Cloud returned the ball about 40 yards to place the ball at the Highlander 20. Following a 17-yard run by Calloway, Cloud had a 3-yard TD run to give the Warriors the lead back at 27-20.
"We had the momentum and then we didn't have it," Glesing said. "Scheme-wise, they got us in a couple of bad positions."
Whiteland quarterback Donnie Richard increased the lead to 34-20 with a 3-yard TD run on a keeper with 8:31 left in regulation. The Warriors' final score was a 37-yard touchdown run by Cloud. Glesing felt if Whiteland did not make the two long kickoff returns and his team did not have the bad snap on the punt in the first half, it would have at least made the Warriors work harder for their points.
"It would have at least made them go the length of the field. I can't say that it would've made the game different, but it didn't help us," Glesing said. "We had been covering kicks pretty good all year. But for whatever reason, we didn't have that tonight."
Floyd Central said goodbye to 28 seniors, but it has some critical players back next season, including Kimm and Klingsmith.
"We'll find a way somehow, some way," Glesing said. "Those young kids will work hard and they'll get it done. I have confidence in them."

Do you sit by your tv on Monday nights and wonder what the hell is the WWE thinking with their programming? Of course you do! After reading so many dirtsheets and listen to the IWC rant about how they hate the WWE right now. Hate the direction of the company. Hate that PG rating that stole away their precious Attitude Era. It can only be attributed to a few things. So here they are.

Hey all,
I've been visiting this site about a year. This is my first blog post, I guess what I saw at the Rumble was kind of the thing that has motivated me to write about the sad state of affairs. If you are here you probably have had someone say to you "Why do you watch wrestling, it's fake" My reply is easy, it isn't about the results for me, my favorite thing about it is the story
Recently, WWE superstar, CM Punk decided to leave and take some time off. Makes the Stone Cold comparisons even more valid. However, how long he is taking off is anyones guess. Some say he won't be back. I've been waiting for some time to share the story of how I became a Punk fan(pre-pipebomb) and why at the beginning I hated CM Punk. Leave that and talk about his future in this blog on Superstar
I used to blog weekly on here a couple months ago critiquing Raw. What I found out was that I was starting to hate the product because I would critique every little thing. So I just stopped blogging altogether. But I ended up missing it so that's why I'm back. And who knows, maybe I'll revive my Raw Hits and Misses Blog, but for now I chose to jump back into it with something simple like predicting
The way the WWE poorly books the talent they have under contract is a symptom of the real problem. - It's not the cause.
The reason why the WWE sucks, and has sucked for a very long time, is due to one reason in particular far above all other reasonss. It all began in October of 1999. That was when the WWF (at the time) went from being a privately owned company to one that became publicly

Survey shows Green Supply Chains are becoming norm
Most than 80 percent of manufacturers participating in survey say green supply chains will become more important in the next three years
Almost 77 percent of manufactures participating in a recent survey said they are currently required by their customers to report on their environmental impact and that of their products or require their vendors to do so – these results suggest that green supply chains are becoming the norm.
More than 80 percent of respondents said that green supply chains – in which companies make purchasing decisions based on non-financial criteria, including the environmental impact of vendors and their products – will become more important in the next three years. The study was conducted in December of 2010 among more than 200 executives with manufacturing operations with greater than $100 million in revenue.
However, respondents indicated that their IT infrastructure, including enterprise resources planning (ERP) software, was not keeping up with their changing green supply chain needs, with 87 percent reporting that this data was handled at least in part through hard copy. Only five percent rated their ERP software as "excellent" in its handling of green supply chain data while 54 percent rated their ERP solution as "poor" or "not at all helpful" in this regard.
"This disconnect between industry needs and what ERP software vendors are delivering will likely become a major issue in the years ahead," IFS North America President and CEO Cindy Jaudon said. "This is one issue we at IFS have been passionate about for a long time, and this passion has driven us to stake out a leadership position in integrated ERP functionality for comprehensive environmental footprint management."
IFS Eco-footprint Management enables environmental impact to be traced along the entire value chain, from raw-material procurement and production to distribution and use of the products in the field. This makes it possible to analyze businesses from a holistic perspective and gain an overview of environmental costs.
The study, which examines not only the green supply chain issue and its effect on enterprise software needs but the increasing trend towards mixed-mode manufacturing, will become publically available in February at Industry Reports and Studies category.

Jesse Shore, a resident of Jay Street near Davis Square, said, "It sounded like a big explosion."
He was talking about a garage fire at 20-22 Jay St. that broke out shortly before 1:40 p.m. Monday.
Shore, who lives in the apartment building next to the garage, said the explosion sound occurred when a neighbor opened the garage door. The rush of oxygen into the building caused the structure to be suddenly engulfed in flames, much like the fires in the movie "Backdraft," he said.
"The whole house shook," Shore said. After that, he heard "a lot of people screaming."
"The flames were quite high," he said.
Another neighbor said about the garage, "It just went up."
It appeared the man who opened the garage door escaped without injury, according to Shore.
According to an email from Deputy Chief Charles Breen of the Somerville Fire Department, the wooden attachment to the garage was fully engulfed in flames. The garage contained a car and at least one acetylene tank, according to the email. Breen was not aware of any injuries associated with the fire.
As of about 2:30 p.m., that part of the garage was completely charred and still smoldering. Inside was the burned-out hulk of the car. Much of the vinyl siding at 24-26 Jay St., next to the burned garage, had melted off.

Live Oak —
John Wiggins of Farm Bureau Insurance is officially retiring on Dec. 31 after 32 years.
Wiggins, who manages the Farm Bureau Insurance offices in Live Oak, Jasper and Branford, was born and raised in downtown White Springs in Hamilton County. Growing up, he had a passion for sports, baseball and softball and went on to play for many years and be part of several softball leagues including the Army. Another passion he has is in the Lord. He's been involved with the church for as long as he can remember. After high school, he went to Jones College in Jacksonville for two years then went on to work at the First National Bank in Lake City. From there, Wiggins spent two years in the service. He joined the US Army and was stationed in Korea for 16 months. When he returned, he got a job at the First National Bank of Live Oak which is now Bank of America. He remained there for 20 years. He got married in May of 1960.
How did a career in banking turn into a career of insurance?
"I was talking to Len Gill and he said that they needed someone and asked me if I would be interested," said Wiggins. "I looked at all the pluses and minuses and thought it would be a good deal."
Wiggins said that one day he was at the bank and the next he was at The Farm Bureau.
He mentioned that any new job is going to have it's learning period, but that Farm Bureau had a really good training program, so he fit right in.
Wiggins described his position as most in insurance as being self-employed, an independent contractor.
"I do not have any employees per se," said Wiggins. "The Farm Bureau has a couple of secretaries."
One person who's known Wiggins for several years spoke very highly of him.
"I've known him over 21 years," said Paulette Buchanan. "He's a really good man, a good boss."
Buchanan even said that she had never seen Wiggins get mad or raise his voice.
Wanda O'Neal has known Wiggins since 1965 and worked with him since 2003.
"It's been awesome," said O'Neal. "He offered me a job when I needed it. A very good man and good boss."
O'Neal said that she's going to miss him being there. She said that he's been a good example of a Godly man, that by his example, she has learned so much.
"I'm very fortunate," said O'Neal. "I was very blessed and he's earned his retirement."
Wiggins has been a member of the First Baptist Church of Live Oak since 1974. He has been a member of the Lions Club since 1957.
"I plan to do some volunteer work after I retire with Love INC," said Wiggins. "I have twin daughters who grew up with Lisa." Lisa Kriehn is the executive director of Love INC. Love INC is a local ministry that have had their hand in helping others and have been directly involved in numerous fundraisers.
Wiggins will also have more time to spend with his wife of 52 years, Elinor and his three children, five grandchildren and three great-grand children.
There will be a retirement reception in honor of John Wiggins on Dec. 14 from 4 to 6 p.m. at the First Baptist Church fellowship hall in Live Oak.

It's kind of a busy day, so follow along with us right here.
All the details on the 2013 NFL Draft left uncovered.
The Atlanta Falcons look like they could be a likely trade partner with the Rams at pick 22.
We know Les Snead isn't afraid to make a move. Will he do it again this year?
It's time for the draft, let's take a gander at who the Turfshowtimes staff members like at pick 16.
The St. Louis Rams impressed you in 2012's NFL Draft. They turned picks into more picks. They turned more picks into starting rookies. The Rams made a statement last year. The importance of what...
With less than 24 hours to go ahead of the first pick of the 2013 NFL Draft, Ryan Van Bibber and 3k talk rumors, Tyrann Mathieu's draft party and everything else draft.
The Rams most likely don't agree with our evaluations on many players, so there's a chance their selection will be a surprise. Here's a list of players who could shock you if the Rams drafted them...
The Rams own the centerpoint of the 1st round of the 2013 NFL Draft thanks to the 16th and 22nd picks. That creates three scenarios, all of which impact the Rams and the NFL as a whole.
In an ever ceasing quest to jumble your brains before NFL Draft day, Brandon Bate and I have come up with a small twist to boggle, amaze, and dare I say - piss you off?

ALLENSWORTH — Firefighters emptied this town's entire drinking water supply in minutes trying to snuff a grass fire in June — and a tense battle unfolded over the next few hours.
Bringing in water from other areas, they fought the stubborn blaze as it torched three homes, three outbuildings, three trailers, a mobile home and three vehicles. No one was hurt, but residents say their little water-holding tank is a disaster in the making.
And it may not be the biggest hazard in the water system. People in Allensworth live with water tainted by too much arsenic.
Bottled water is a way of life for some in this southwestern Tulare County town of 471. But others here drink tap water sometimes laced with arsenic, which is linked to cancer of the bladder, lungs, skin, kidney, liver and prostate.
For the past 10 months, The Fresno Bee has investigated life in San Joaquin Valley places such as Allensworth where a toxic environment and poverty often create Third World conditions. The series is called "Living in a Toxic Land."
The legacy of water problems in Allensworth dates back as far as the early 1900s when the first colony of African-Americans settled at the site now called Colonel Allensworth State Historic Park. Present-day Allensworth is next to the park.
Allen Allensworth, a former slave, wanted this to be a model community for African-Americans. But water quickly became a major reason this tenacious settlement withered and nearly disappeared.
"Our water problem and our fight to keep this town going have been part of our rich history here," said Netti Morrison, 78, who has lived in Allensworth since the 1970s. "This town won't die."
Allensworth has survived, but its population is not dominated by African-Americans. It's a poor, Latino farmworker town.
The population is 92% Latino, according to the U.S. census. Residents rank among the poorest and least educated in California, a state Environmental Protection Agency analysis shows.
The town needs help to get healthy water, says the Allensworth Community Services District. Board President Sherry Hunter, daughter of Netti Morrison, says the district has a $390,000 grant through the state Department of Public Health to study a new fix. A plan is expected in about a year.
"We're looking at a few ideas, including a regional solution that might bring together our neighbors in Alpaugh and Angiola Water District," Hunter said.
Clearing up the arsenic problem and rebuilding the water system are the main goals. Preliminary findings in the study suggest Allensworth needs a new town water tank with a capacity of 500,000 gallons — roughly 12 times the size of the tank now in place.
Allensworth has long been on the radar for Self Help Enterprises, a Visalia nonprofit providing guidance for rural communities. Paul Boyer of Self Help assisted in getting funding more than 30 years ago when Allensworth's only well produced water with arsenic three times higher than the standard.
A shallow pool of better-quality water was found three miles east of town, Boyer said. Two wells were drilled. But now those wells exceed the newest, more stringent federal arsenic standard.
The state first discovered Allensworth's arsenic problem in 1966. Authorities said the problem probably had been here all along. No arsenic-related illnesses or health issues have been documented, but residents suspect there have been problems.
"People have gotten sick," Morrison said. "I'm on dialysis for kidney problems myself now."
Morrison attended the ceremony in 1976 when the state designated the historic park. She said she won't let go of Allensworth's dream.
As a 12-year-old in Kentucky, Allensworth had been sold away from his family because he was trying to learn to read. He escaped slavery during the Civil War, joined the Union forces and eventually became a lieutenant colonel.
He retired around the turn of the century and started Allensworth in 1908 at a time when African-Americans around the country were forming their own communities to escape discrimination.
He bought nearly 3,000 acres of alkali flats in the old Tulare Lake Basin halfway between Los Angeles and San Francisco.
Hundreds of families flocked to Allensworth, and the town flourished for a few years. There was a church, library, schoolhouse, restaurant and hotel. By 1914, the community was in decline, partly because of Allensworth's tragic death in a Southern California traffic accident.
The town couldn't get help from surrounding communities as wells began drying up. Agricultural demand had lowered the underground water table. People soon started leaving Allensworth.
Some determined residents always hung on. They persisted through the Great Depression and World War II, but, all the while, people continued to leave for jobs elsewhere.
Now the town of Allensworth is a mix of houses, trailers and abandoned structures, not far from rail lines. Amtrak passes through regularly but will only stop if there are 20 or more passengers who notify train officials that they want to get off here.
The memories of past glories continue among those who remain, said resident Kayode Kadara, 60, who moved to Allensworth in 2010 with his wife, Denise, 60, another daughter of Netti Morrison. They call Morrison the unofficial mayor of Allensworth.
The Kadaras bring a combination of skills for city planning, engineering and grant writing from all over California to Allensworth. They have helped the town secure funding to fix the water problems.
But their true connection to Allensworth is an affair of the heart.
"We've spent so much time visiting here over the years," Kayode Kadara said. "We took early retirement to come here and help Netti keep it alive. It must continue."

A hearing will be held Monday to determine where a man accused of fatally shooting seven people at Oakland's Oikos University in April 2012 will be sent after he was ruled incompetent to stand trial earlier this month.
Alameda County Superior Court Judge Carrie Panetta suspended legal proceedings on Jan. 7 against One Goh, 44, a Korean national living in Oakland after finding him incompetent to stand trial.
Monday's hearing will determine to which mental hospital he will be sent.
Goh is being held without bail at the Alameda County Jail in Dublin on seven counts of murder, three counts of attempted murder for allegedly shooting three victims who survived and 10 special-circumstance allegations, including committing murder during a carjacking.
Police said that Goh fled the campus after the April 2 shootings in a car belonging to one of the victims.
He was arrested in Alameda a short time later after he confessed to a Safeway security guard that he had just shot several people, according to police.
Goh is a former student who had left the school voluntarily. Prosecutors have said he appears to have wanted a refund of his tuition, and may have been targeting an administrator who was not present the day of the shooting.
According to a probable cause statement filed in court by Oakland police Officer Robert Trevino, Goh has admitted that he carried out the shootings.
Those killed were students Lydia Sim, 21, of Hayward; Sonam Choedon, 33, of El Cerrito; Grace Kim, 23, of Union City; Doris Chibuko, 40, of San Leandro; Judith Seymour, 53, of San Jose; Tshering Bhutia, 38, of San Francisco; and Katleen Ping, 24, of Oakland, who worked at the school.
Goh's lawyer, David Klaus, said earlier this month that the two psychiatrists who have examined Goh concluded that he suffers from paranoid schizophrenia and is unable to cooperate with his defense team because he doesn't understand the criminal justice system.

If there is a mystery man on Maryland's roster, it's probably Steve Goins.
The freshman has the combination of not being all that highly touted, agreeing to come to Maryland over the summer, and not getting cleared until just a few weeks before practice started.
At the least, it's not the formula for a guy who's a lock to make an impact. But the 6-foot-10, 260-pounder has played in Maryland's first two games, and is making progress in practice.
"Goins is getting better," coach Gary Williams said. "I think the light's gone off. A player has to want to play. I've seen guys come into programs where they accept right away what their position is. If you're the 12th man, and you accept that, you'll never get past that. Well, Goins figures out when he bumps into someone, it hurts.
"There's a good study out there on big guys. You remember when you were in seventh grade and the biggest guy in the class, how everybody made fun of him. I think there's a tendency where you either become a bully or you try to become this nice guy that everybody likes. I think Steve's the latter. Steve's a nice guy, but I don't want him [to be] that nice guy."
The in-game numbers might be there at any point this season. In eight minutes, he has one pointand one rebound in eight minutes – all after the Terrapins' first two games were long-since decided.
But if he gets better in a new environment – and helps Braxton Dupree and Jerome Burney improve, too – he could emerge as a useful cog as the year progresses.
"He is in development, as we say," Williams said. "He's not where you want to be yet. I just look at where he's come from since the first day of practice and I'm impressed with what he's done. The stuff he does in conditioning, he's never done anything like that in his life. He never lifted a weight in his life. That's all new."

It happened at the 100 George Bush apartments off the intersection on Wellborn and George Bush.
You can see part of the side of the building is stripped of the bricks.
The apartment manager says that damage was caused by an explosion on a first floor apartment this afternoon.
College Station Police and E-M-S responded.
Management believes the explosion was caused by the appliance line to the stove in the apartment.
Atmos Energy, a gas company, is still trying to figure out the cause of the explosion.
No one was injured, but the family living in that apartment have been relocated.

Infographic: What's at Stake for States that Refuse to Expand Medicaid?
Susan Mottet on July 6, 2012 - 2:16pm
The initial news last week was that the Supreme Court upheld the Affordable Care Act (ACA). And though that remains true, discussion has increasingly focused on the one limitation the Court put on the law. While the ACA required all states to expand Medicaid eligibility to 133% of the federal poverty level (FPL) – about $30,000 for a family of four – in order to receive any federal Medicaid funds, the Court ruled that only funds for the expansion itself could be withheld. The practical effect of the limitation was to make it optional for states to expand Medicaid to all Americans at or below 133% FPL.
Medicaid is an effective and efficient program that has been providing health coverage to millions of low-income families and children for decades. The trouble with Medicaid that the ACA sought to fix is that eligibility differs wildly from state to state. For example, Virginia covers working parents up to 26% FPL – less than $6,000 for a family of four. Across the border, the District of Columbia covers families up to 200% FPL – about $46,000 for a family of four. Before the ACA, for low-income families, which state you lived in determined whether you had health insurance. That hardly seems fair.
The federal government will pay for nearly all of the expansion, starting at 90-100% for the first 5 years and going no lower than 90% after that. The expansion of Medicaid also enjoys broad popular support – 51% of Republicans support it, along with 69% of Independents and 88% of Democrats, according to a recent Kaiser Family Foundation poll.
Policy-wise, expanding the Medicaid program is a no-brainer. Yet, for political reasons, several governors (from states such as Florida, Iowa, Louisiana, and South Carolina) have pledged not to expand the program. This would leave millions uninsured. And, once again, whether low-income families have access to coverage would depend on which state they happened to live in.
The other problem – even more unfair – is that states that refuse to expand Medicaid would create a Medicaid donut hole for the working poor. In 2014, health benefits exchanges will begin operation and people without affordable health insurance options can receive tax credits to help purchase coverage. But not everyone who would have been covered by the Medicaid expansion would be eligible for those tax credits. Opting out of the expansion would create a group of people who are "too rich" to be eligible for Medicaid but too poor to afford insurance or receive tax credits to help them buy insurance.
Most states are on track to expand Medicaid by 2014. In doing so, they will expand health coverage to millions of working individuals and families who are not able to afford health coverage and prevent their residents from falling into the donut hole. The infographic below shows just what is at stake for states that refuse to expand Medicaid, highlighting the number of people in each state who would be left uninsured, and explaining how a family of four could end up in a new Medicaid donut hole (click for full-size image):

In American food circles, December is well-known to be "National Fruit Cake Month" and "National Egg Nog Month".
And while we already celebrated "" in September, Americans developed additional days to commemorate the joy of eating chocolate with "National Chocolate Day" and "National Chocolate Candy Day" in the month of December.
The National Confectioners Association (NCA) annually recognizes "National Chocolate Days" on both December 28 and December 29. Also, numerous food and holiday listing sites recognize December 28 as "National Chocolate Candy Day".
According to the National Chocolate Candy Day website Americans consume approximately 2.8 billion pounds of chocolate annually. This averages to be about 11 pounds of chocolate per person.
The website also points out that during the Second World War, the U.S government commissioned Milton Hershey to create a candy bar that could be added to the soldier's rations. The chocolate bar that was created is the still-famous: Hershey's Milk Chocolate Bar.
Whether you choose to recognize one or all of the National Chocolate holidays, you now have a perfect excuse to eat up those holiday treats, or, to stop by one of the following Westminster locations to purchase some ASAP.
Located at 15 South Cranberry Road, The Treat Shop Factory offers a wide variety of chocolate treats including:
- Cordial Cherry
- Raspberry Cream Clusters
- Turtle Clusters
- Pretzels dipped in chocolate
- …and much more
However, if you are set on getting a jump-start on your healthy eating routine, you can still celebrate with chocolate dipped fruit.
Located 536 A Jermor Lane in the 140 Village Shopping Plaza, Edible Arrangements offers a variety of baskets, and boxes with chocolate dipped fruits.

About THE FORMULA
• Glucosamine supports the production of chondroitin sulfates and hyaluronic acid which are 2 glycosaminoglycans that support joint comfort, flexibility and give greater mobility to stressed joints.
• Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a source of organic sulfur. Sulfur supports proper maintenance of connective tissue function.
• Chondroitin Sulfates support the proper structure and function of healthy connective tissues and joints. The purified chondroitin sulfates in this product are derived from certified BSE Free Bovine Tracheal Cartilage, which is a rich source of biologically-active Chondroitin.
• Vitamin C and Manganese are required for the production of collagen and for the production of glycos aminoglycans like chondroitin sulfates and hyaluronic acid. As an antioxidant, Vitamin C also protects tissues from free radical damage.
• Dimethylglycine (DMG) supports the production of many constituents in the body. It acts as an antioxidant to protect the joints from free radical damage.
• Omega-3 fatty acids, Eicosapentaenoic Acid (EPA) and Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA) from fish oil, are precursors to the PGE3 series of prostaglandins, which are substances important to proper body regulation and joint comfort. Fish oil is also important for optimal joint function. It balances prostaglandins and leukotrienes to support joint and connective tissue health.
Hip + Joint is a comprehensive formula for the support of hip, joint and connective tissue function for dogs in any stage of life. Hip + Joint is a tasty chew that offers a strong line of defense, whether your goal is to support the joint structure and function of a healthy pet or to help with flexibility and joint comfort in older or injured pets.

Just had to share this with you all; A Truly Canadian Teddy Bear.
Yesterday my friend Ria and I went to the "Trash 'N Treasures"
community yard sale in Colborne, Ont. What to my surprise!!!! I found
this little bear looking at me just wanting to come home to my little
I did not even try to fight (my teddy bear weakness) this little
Punkinhead was coming home with me. I asked the smiling gentleman from
India what he wanted for the bear, he said a $1.00.
Now this little Punkinhead the one who has a secret pocket in the side
of his tummy for candy or neat stuff to hide, is just like the one I
purchased from Eaton many years ago for my granddaughter Brittany. He
is not a mohair bear, not worth a fortune, but worth a bundle of great
memories to me. He is now living in Campbellford.
He is the one when you bought him from Eaton's that year you also got
A copy poster of the 3 Punkinhead's painted by the daughter of the
(famous Canadian artist) James Kristead.
All my Punkinhead's and my 2x3 foot framed poster remain in Georgia in
my little pad waiting for me to return for 6 months.
The first Punkinhead (The Sad Little Bear) was 2 feet tall, he made
His first appearance in 1947 in the Eaton's Christmas parade. The first
mohair Punkinhead was made by Merrythought of England. (Now a old one
can cost over $2,000)
