'Dexter': Season 7 Episode 5 - 'Swim Deep'
October 29th, 2012 2:37pm EDT
Kind of a slow-moving episode with a lot of story development; if this is your kind of thing, then the fifth episode of the final season of "Dexter" is your kind of episode.
The episode opens with Dexter and his dad on Dexter's boat. Harry (James Remar) is giving his son some fatherly advice, particular to his confessing to Debra. I really like the scenes between Harry and Dexter and wish they were more frequent. There's legit chemistry between these two actors whenever they're together, and the whole father-son relationship is believable. In fact, it's the most believable of all the relationships on the show.
Plus, I think it's an excellent bit of writing, having the father mentoring his serial-killer son. It's upsetting and unfamiliar, which is fiction gold.
While cleaning his boat, Dexter discovers blood and he's quite upset because he doesn't know whose it is, where it came from, or even how long it's been there. He takes a few swabs so he can make a match and discover who was killed aboard his boat, someone he didn't kill.
Debra walks into Maria's office to ask her a routine question and notices the book Lundy always carried while tracking the Bay Harbor Butcher. Maria confides in her that she thinks it's possible he's still alive. I really like this storyline and I hope they develop it. Of course the Bay Harbor Butcher is dead, but the blood slide Dexter left behind when he killed Travis—the M.O. of the Butcher—has Maria convinced he's still alive.
This storyline has Dexter at risk of being discovered, and places Debra in a terrible position because she knows the truth. It's creating great drama and conflict and personally I hope it blows up into something crazy and unbelievable!
Dexter makes the natural discovery that it was Louis who was killed on his boat, and begins to piece together the reason Isaac has taken an interest in him. All this comes to a head when Dexter heads home, only to discover his curtains are open, which means someone has either been in his apartment or is still in there.
Through quite clever means, Dexter smokes out the person who's in his apartment. It's Isaac, who's interested in discovering the whereabouts of Viktor. They have a very chilling phone conversation, leaving us with the knowledge it's going to turn bad, and soon, as in before the episode fades to black.
In a scene that takes place in a parking garage, totally for atmosphere, I was on the edge of my couch because of the high-tension and great conflict that ensued. Dexter has to tell Debra he killed Viktor. She flips her lid because this is a straight vendetta murder, rather than the typical murder he perpetrates; namely those who tend to slip through the cracks of the justice system.
While Dexter is watching the strip club, quickly realizing that Isaac isn't just a hit man but the actual boss, he gets a call telling him that Hannah (Yvonne Strahovski) is at the station to help them put the pieces together for some of the murders she and Randall committed.
She interacts with a piece of evidence in such a way as to suggest to Dexter that she's nostalgic about those days rather than fearful like she should be. He's becoming distrusting of her but can't quite pin it down.
I like this Hannah story, but I'm not certain where it's going. It keeps cropping up in each episode, so it's clear something's being developed, and we do discover something important about her, but still it's quite shielded by the writers at this point. My thought, which is probably way off-base, is that somehow she and Dexter are going to become partners in crime. Guess we'll find out soon enough.
Something else I liked about this episode is all the little pieces of evidence that have surfaced that tie, even circumstantially, Dexter to certain murders. Not only do we get the sense that a noose we can't quite see yet is slowly tightening around his neck, but also because it's drawing Debra in deeper and deeper.
Case in point, Debra and Maria are out talking to the families of some of the Butcher's victims when they discover a box of wedding photos that might have something to do with one of the murders. As Debra is looking through some of them she sees Dexter in one of the shots of the larger wedding crowd. Of course Debra knows she has to get that picture before Maria does.
In the setup for the episode's really big and important scene, Dexter lets Isaac follow him into a very dangerous bar in a very dangerous part of town. Dexter, like the rest of us, believes he's taken Isaac to his death. It's never that easy with a trained hit man, now is it?
When the cops get the call that there's been a multiple homicide at that bar, Dexter is quite surprised to discover plenty of dead bodies, although none is Isaac, who we learn was wounded in the shootout. This means blood spatter belonging to him, which means if they can get a DNA match they can arrest Isaac. Sometimes things work out for the best, right?
Quinn shows up at the strip club while Isaac is having a nasty gash on his arm stitched. Novikov tells Isaac that Quinn is a dirty cop; that they used to leave bags of cash in his car, etc. Once a dirty cop, always a dirty cop, right? Quinn finds a bag of cash in his car as he's leaving the club, which conveniently finds its way into his glove box.
Isaac's DNA match turns into his arrest, which is a huge coup for the police department. He's behind bars and his wounds and presence in the bar are going to be very hard to explain away. Dexter and Isaac chat with each other between prison glass, and Dexter tells him he killed Viktor out of revenge. Isaac swears this isn't over and his patience might actually surprise Dexter.
Not an episode filled with a ton of action, but a very satisfying one, nonetheless. Many stories were advanced, a great deal of on-going tension was created, and Debra is reaching a tipping point with her internal struggles.

For five former Clemson golfers, opportunity knocks, beginning tomorrow.
The Web.com Tour - the redesigned gateway to the PGA Tour - kicks off its season on Thursday with the Panama Claro Championship at Panama City, Panama.
In the field will be Brian Duncan, Phillip Mollica, Sam Saunders, Ben Martin and Danny Ellis. Waiting in the wings is Matt Hendrix, an alternate for this week's tournament, but with a spot secure in the next two stops on the tour's early-season swing to Central and South America.
The Web.com Tour is a step up for Duncan and Mollica, who played their way onto the tour via Q School in the December. Both have played primarily on the eGolf Professional Tour since leaving Clemson.
Saunders, meanwhile, will enjoy the first fully-exempt season of his career. He had conditional status last year and ended up 50th on the Web.com Tour money list. He has had increasing success over the past three seasons, playing a combination of events on the PGA Tour and Web.com Tour.
For Martin and Ellis, the season will offer a chance to get back to the PGA Tour.
Martin qualified for the PGA Tour his first season out of Clemson by finishing second at the final stage of Q School. He placed 164th on the money list as a rookie, which dropped to the Web.com Tour last season.
After an up-and-down season, Martin finished strong and regained his exempt status for this year's Web.com Tour in dramatic fashion. He finished third in the final full-field event of the season, and claimed the final (60th) spot in the Web.com Tour Championship. He went on to finish 13th, which boosted him to fully exempt status for 2013.
Ellis will be back playing a full schedule for the first time in several years, after overcoming back problems that sidetracked his PGA Tour career.
Hendrix, who has played his way from the eGolf Professional Tour to the Web.com Tour, has conditional status this season. He opened 2013 with a runaway, five-shot victory last week at the eGolf Tour's Palmetto Championship at Hilton Head Island, S.C.
Hendrix is entered into the next two Web.com Tour events - the Colombia Championship, Feb. 28-March 3, and the Chile Classic, March 7-10.
The Web.com Tour will make its first U.S. stop March 21-24 at the Chitimacha Louisiana Open.
The tour schedule includes two more international events - the Brasil Championship, April 4-7, and the Mexico Championship, May 23-26.
The tour will make several stops in the Southeast, including the BMW Charity Pro-Am at Thornblade Club in Greer, S.C., May 16-19; the Stadion Classic at UGA, May 2-5 at Athens, Ga.; the Rex Hospital Open, June 20-23 at Raleigh, N.C.; the News-Sentinel Open, April 15-18 at Knoxville, Tenn.; and the Chiquita Classic, Sept. 5-8 at Davidson, N.C.

Chacras de Coria
In Chacras de Coria there is a unique feeling; a strange combination of nature and familiarity, of art and culture and of the typical scenery… a true land of contrast.This picturesque villa is only 15 km away from the capital city of Mendoza, a meeting point for the wine routes and the most original gastronomic offers.
Its name takes us back to the first ranch settled in the area, whose owner – Don Bohorquez de Coria – established the first ranches. Since then, the locals baptized this area as "las Chacras de Coria" or "Coria´s ranches".
It is renowned for its particular microclimate and seduces with its cool air, the green colours, the mountains and vineyards.
Every Sunday afternoon you can find crafts and antiques on the town square, also musicians and puppeteers every week, attractive for our visitors.
"Chacras de Coria is a mixture of nature and familiarity, art and culture …"
The town church, "Nuestra Señora del Perpetuo Socorro" is built in a neo-colonial style. The icons on the main altar are carved in stone and the ceilings are built with poplar wood in a traditional way for Mendoza.
It is characteristic to see the streets lined by trees and beautiful houses, also the wineries and mountains. A typical postcard of Mendoza that opens its doors to anyone who wants to feel at home.

Last week UTC Online switched to a new Blackboard version for Summer 2011 (and following) courses and Blackboard organizations. Users now are directed to the new Blackboard server and may access the new server through MyMocsNet, the login at utconline.utc.edu, or directly at bb4.utc.edu
Summer term instructors are reminded to make their course available when it is ready for students to view (step-by-step PDF):
Control Panel > Customization: Properties > 3. Set Availability to Yes > click Submit
UTC Online would like to highlight three important issues for users with the new Blackboard version:
1. Accessing Microsoft Office Files in Blackboard Using Internet Explorer
If you attempt to access a Microsoft Office file (e.g., Word, PowerPoint, Excel) within Blackboard while using Internet Explorer (IE), you may be asked to login again in a window prompt which typically opens behind your main window. UTC Online recommends you use a different internet browser (such as Firefox) when using UTC Online, but other workarounds to open the file include selecting "Cancel" in the relogin window prompt, saving the file locally, or making a configuration change in IE so that the relogin prompt does not appear. Read about how to make the IE configuration change.
2. Difference in how Course Announcements Sent by Email
If you choose to email your course announcements ("Send Email to all users even those that choose not to receive Announcement notifications through email"), you should be aware these types of emails no longer come to students from your email address. Instead, these announcement emails instead appear to be sent by the UTC Online administrator's email (email@example.com). This change is due to how the new Blackboard version sends notifications to students. Thus, if a student simply hits reply to your emailed course announcement, the student will unintentionally send a reply to the UTC Online email address. It is recommended that you use the Send Email tool (Control Panel > Course Tools: Send Email) when emailing students an announcement as these emails will always come from your email address.
3. Hiding the Course Menu
Users may become confused and state they "cannot see the course" after entering it. What users mean is that they cannot navigate the course using the course menu. The course menu can be hidden and shown by clicking the right bracket character on the left hand side of the screen. View this issue in action.
Please contact or stop by the Walker Teaching Resource Center (401 Hunter) if you have any questions about UTC Online's new Blackboard version.

Contact us today about Michael and Amy's headline dueling pianos show for a no-obligation proposal for your next event or season.
Michael and Amy Music & Clean Comedy Dueling Pianos Show
Recent Reviews
"Entertainment Review: Sam's Town Hotel & Casino offered a Variety Show yesterday that was absolutely amazing! Michael and Amy Pickering and their dueling piano set brought the audience to their feet in applause at the end of their act. One of the best performances I've seen in Las Vegas!"Janet Lawrence, JL Las Vegas
"We are VERY excited to be representing Michael and Amy! Their music & clean comedy dueling pianos show translates wonderfully to all types of events and their personalities and talent instantly build rapport and bridges with diverse groups of people from all kinds of backgrounds. Their shows are SO fun and their stories SO entertaining and inspiring. We're looking forward to taking this to the next level."Matt Kroeker, Outreach Speakers
"Our patrons were hosted to a world class performance by two incredibly talented artists. Not only were "Michael & Amy" musically talented w/ their vast knowledge of music that spans the generations, but the comedic exchanges between them and their audience interaction was perfection. Some audience comments -"I could've listened to them all night!"; "Best show you've had in years!"; "One of the top three most memorable moments in my life was their show, trumped only by the birth of my children!!"Nicole Charest Pupanek, Council for the Performing Arts
"I book a lot of kinds of entertainment – speakers, comedy acts, motivational people–and every time a part of me is nervous about the quality of the performance and the connection with the audience. For some reason, I didn't have any of the usual trepidations about your concert. You delivered all the energy, polish, and fun our 800+ people in the audience wanted that evening and more. I was blown away by how much everyone got into the act– clapping, singing, responding in unison to your questions. It was a blast. And two weeks later, people are still talking about it. If ever I had the opportunity to book the two of you again, I'd do it in a heartbeat."Nancy Fox, Development Dimensions International
"Michael and Amy: Thank you! Thank you!! Thank you!! On a scale of 1 – 10, you get 100! When I think Michael and Amy I see pianos, beauty, talent, love, professionalism and WOW what a fabulous performance!!! You made a lasting impression on our colleagues — they are still talking about the luncheon. We will always remember you (you have raised the bar…it will be tough to select talent for next years event). Again thank you for a wonderful performance and a memorable time!"Sandra Mendez-Kossup, Hoffmann-La Roche

The labor force expanded during the month by 210,000 and the number of people working expanded by 293,000.

At the rate it's going now the unemployed people will reach the 0% soon. They will no longer be counted by the government yet they will still be unemployed. The governments way of counting the unemployed is very misleading, you can even call it a lie when Obama uses these figures.

The Durham Bulls celebrate the last out of the Governors' Cup final.
By Mike Harrington
The Durham Bulls and Omaha Storm Chasers wrapped up their league titles Saturday night and will meet Tuesday night in Lehigh Valley in the Triple-A National Championship Game (7 p.m., NBCSN).
Both teams won the titles in Game Four on the road. Durham won at Pawtucket, 7-0, while Omaha -- a 70-74 team during the regular season -- wrapped up a 6-1 PCL postseason with a 10-5 win at Salt Lake.
The Durham victory was particularly amazing because the Bulls held Pawtucket scoreless for the final 29 innings of the series, including all 20 at the PawSox home field. Durham won Game Three in McCoy Stadium on Friday night, 2-0 in 14 innings, as Pawtucket managed just four hits. The PawSox had only two hits in the finale. Former Wilson High and UB pitcher Steve Geltz retired both batters he faced in the eighth inning of the finale.
Here's the Providence Journal recap of the final game.
And here's the Durham Herald-Sun's story on the Bulls' fourth title since joining the IL in 1998. The Bulls also won in 2002 (sweeping the Bisons in the final), 2003 and 2009, when they took the Triple-A title with a win over Memphis.

History of Shared Decision Making at MGH
The program began as a pilot project in 2005 distributing decision aids to patients within a select primary care practice. It quickly expanded to all the 15 adult primary care practices including six Community Health Centers in Boston and the surrounding communities that collectively provide care for over 200,000 patients.
The program's early work suggested that increasing the ease with which clinicians could provide materials to patients was a crucial first step in facilitating shared decision making and collaborative care. The team invested in developing the necessary IT system support to allow primary care providers to prescribe shared decision-making programs through the electronic medical record. Clinicians are able to order shared decision-making resources in real time during a primary care visit.

Being a great conversationalist requires practice and effort. The good news is it's a skill set anyone can acquire and refine. In just six lectures, How Conversation Works: 6 Lessons for Better Communication will teach you key strategies that can dramatically improve your ability to converse with anyone, from strangers to supervisors. Delivered by award-winning English professor Anne Curzan of the University of Michigan, this highly practical course focuses on the fundamental principles you need to know to become more conversationally aware and savvy at home, in the workplace, and beyond.
You'll be amazed by how much you can learn by stepping back from conversations and examining how they operate. You'll notice things you never picked up on before—like what kind of speaker you are, the strategies you typically rely on (often without realizing it), and the subtleties of the strategies others may use when speaking with you. You'll find yourself putting these lessons into practice to create more effective dialogues from the very first lecture.
Choose Your Words Wisely
An expression like "shooting the breeze" makes conversation sound easy and free-flowing, but even low-stakes conversations have an underlying systematic structure that propels them along. This course examines that framework while showing you how the effective selection of words can help you forge connections and accomplish your objectives.
Professor Curzan walks you through techniques for negotiating a variety of difficult situations, from proffering successful apologies to engaging in "face-threatening acts"—those uncomfortable moments that have the potential to do damage if your words aren't chosen carefully.
You'll learn graceful ways of
Conversations can only deepen connections when you pull your weight. In How Conversation Works, you'll learn this involves knowing how to skillfully open and close an exchange, take turns speaking or "negotiate the conversational floor," and send people subtle signals.
Talk Your Way to Success
Whether you want to build rapport with colleagues, promote your accomplishments in an interview, give a winning presentation, ingratiate yourself with your boss, or even create a connection on a first date, knowing what to say and how to say it allows for more productive, smoother interactions. How Conversation Works helps you get ahead by outlining simple techniques for accomplishing all of this and more.
Short vignettes featuring professional actors demonstrate what to do—and what not to do—in a variety of everyday scenarios such as striking up a conversation at a party. In video formats, green-screen technology places the professor in a range of environments as she provides concrete advice for taking an uncomfortable conversation in a new direction, making polite requests, mastering the "humble brag," limiting your "talk time," and monitoring your use of distracting discourse markers such as "um" and "you know."
In addition to sharing these out-the-door tips and techniques, Professor Curzan dispels common myths about conversation and presents enlightening research on
A Guide for the Real World
As a professor of English and linguistics and member of the American Dialect Society, Professor Curzan offers a refreshing yet scholarly take on the subject of conversation. Using a developmental and skills-based approach that gets right to the heart of the matter, her course provides tangible, actionable methods that can be worked into your conversational repertoire immediately.
At first, the newfound awareness you'll acquire from How Conversation Works may cause you to become self-conscious when you speak, but the act of "conversational noticing" will soon become second nature. Before long, you'll realize you have the tools to make yourself clearly understood, put others at ease, rescue a conversation that's gone wrong—and keep conversations from going off course in the first place.

SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Tech-sector giants Apple Inc. and Amazon.com Inc. drew most of the attention from investors on Thursday, as both companies geared up to report quarterly results after the market close.
Also in the spotlight were Zynga Inc. /quotes/zigman/7720406/delayed/quotes/nls/znga ZNGA -2.74% and online review and recommendation company Angie's List Inc. /quotes/zigman/7312483/delayed/quotes/nls/angi ANGI -3.60% , as their shares posted big gains in the wake of their latest earnings reports.
Apple /quotes/zigman/68270/delayed/quotes/nls/aapl AAPL -0.33% shed 1.2% to close at $609.54 ahead of its earnings report. Bloomberg TV reported that Apple is set to launch its own streaming radio service that would compete against the likes of Pandora /quotes/zigman/5419837/delayed/quotes/nls/p P -3.34% . Pandora shares fell 11.7% to close at $8.20.
After the close, Apple reported a 24% jump in earnings for its fourth fiscal quarter, but the results fell short of expectations. Read the complete report on Apple earnings.
Earlier this week, Apple unveiled the iPad mini, a smaller version of the iPad intended to compete more directly with Amazon's Kindle Fire tablets. Read more about Apple's direction with iPad mini.
Amazon /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN -1.83% shares rose 2.4% to close at $222.92.
Amazon after the close said it swung to a third-quarter loss of 60 cents a share on revenue of $13.81 billion. Excluding 37 cents a share related to losses from its investment in LivingSocial, Amazon would have lost 23 cents a share. Analysts surveyed by FactSet estimated the online retailer to report a loss of 7 cents a share on $13.9 billion. Read the full story on Amazon earnings.
Zynga /quotes/zigman/7720406/delayed/quotes/nls/znga ZNGA -2.74% , which has been much maligned of late following several high-level executive departures and concerns about the social-gaming company's outlook, saw its shares climb 12.3% to close at $2.39. Late Wednesday, Zynga reported third-quarter results that included plans for a $200 million stock buyback and a deal with bwin.party that will have Zynga offering real-money games in the United Kingdom.

Needham & Co. analyst Sean McGowan raised his rating on Zynga to buy from hold, and said the he believes the company's stock has bottomed out at its current levels.
Angie's List /quotes/zigman/7312483/delayed/quotes/nls/angi ANGI -3.60% shares surged 27% to close at $11.56, in the wake of better-than-expected third quarter results. Barrington Research analyst Jeff Houston raised his rating on Angie's List to outperform from market perform, saying the company's "revenue visibility, differentiated offering, ability to increase advertising prices and operating leverage potential" make it more attractive heading toward the end of the year.

How do you spell disaster? BMS-094 maybe?
In 2012, we've seen our share of big Phase III flame outs, as high profile drug programs have failed utterly in meeting their clinical endpoints. Many of these were being conducted by companies counting on the success of these projects to fill in flagging sales due to recent patent expiration of blockbusters. They also were trying to make their mark in lucrative therapeutic categories that have few good alternatives now.
Fierce Biotech lays out its TOP 5 failures in 2012:
- Bristol-Myers Squibb's BMS-094 for hepatitis C
- J&J and Pfizer's Bapineuzumab for Alzheimer's
- Eli Lilly's Solanezumab for Alzheimer's
- Roche's Dalcetrib for cholesterol management
- AstraZeneca's TC-5214 for depression
In 2012, all of these hit an ice berg. Fierce listed them in descending order of magnitude of disaster but maybe you have additional nominees or a different order? Feel free to comment or reorder to your desire. Drug development though remains a tough business.

Herald Staff Writer
For the past year and a half, Cindy Bechtel has watched students from her afterschool program grow into better, more engaged learners.
Four days a week throughout the school year, she, along with other teachers, spends time with children working to improve their math and reading skills and provide them with a fun and meaningful learning experience as part of the Student Adventures Afterschool Program.
"It gives kids something to look forward to," Bechtel, the Jefferson Elementary site coordinator, said. "They want to know what they're going to do next."
Recently, school district officials learned the afterschool programs at Jefferson, Bluff and Eagle Heights elementary schools would receive funding for three more years.
All Clinton elementary and middle schools offer
free before and afterschool education and 200 students take advantage of those programs throughout the district. The other sites are funded by a five-year grant that is not set to expire for another three years.
The three elementary programs will be funded
by a $896,358 grant from the 21st Century Community Learning Centers program of the U.S. Department of Education.
The grant pays for the teachers, enrichments activities, transportation, supplies and select field trips for the program, which runs before and afterschool as well as a month during the summer. In order to be eligible, a school must have 40 percent of students receiving free or reduced lunch. Students are then selected for the program so they can receive more academic enrichments mainly in math and reading in order to meet No Child Left Behind standards. Currently, the program at Jefferson, Bluff and Eagle Heights is available for second-, third- and fourth-grade students.
Next year the program will be for students in kindergarten, first and fifth grades because the grant requires the school district to shift its focus after a number of years. The three elementary school sites will be expected to serve 225 students next year.
"The goals and objectives are the same," Afterschool Program Project Director Loras Osterhaus said. "The school board is putting more of an emphasis on kindergarten and first-grade students and having more help for them so this goes along perfectly with that."
Each site has four to five staff members who work with kids Monday through Thursday.
On Monday, Tuesday and Thursday, the students are given homework assistance and tutoring.
They also participate in academic enrichment activities such as environmental education, fine arts projects, drug/alcohol prevention, character education and science activities that help expand their learning opportunities.
On Wednesdays, children are treated to a field trip to various places in the area that will further enrich their academic experience.
According to Osterhaus, since the program was instated in 2003, it has had a positive effect on the district.
"The academic achievement we've seen sets our kids up for future success," Osterhaus said.
"It gives them extra opportunities to succeed," he said.

Comments about Givenchy Pi Neo Cologne:
This stuff's great! Went to the perfume counter and asked the lady to give me something that smells really good, and she gave me this stuff. I'm not a really big fan of the top of this fragrance, so I was a little apprehensive at first but am I ever glad that I bought it! Keep in mind that I'm in my last year of high school, I get compliments everywhere I go! I've been told that I smell delicious by a dude, so you know this is good stuff. Not a lot of people wear this either, so that's a plus! The drydown on this baby is scrumptious. Lots of vanilla, girls DIG THIS. Not bad projection either, this thing lasts about 8-10 hours on my skin and projects a good 3 or 4 foot scent cloud for about 5. Lasts through the school day, perfect for winter. Really, I can't not like this stuff

Erika Andersen, Contributor
I cover how people & organizations work, and how they can work better.
I just spent the week with three of my Proteus colleagues, teaching management and leadership skills to a group of 60 smart, dedicated professional women through a program called Rising Leaders. One of the core management skills we taught them (this was the group's choice) was listening. I was thrilled they chose this skill. I dedicated the entire first chapter of Growing Great Employees to listening; I believe it's foundational to success for both managers and leaders.
During the program, which we conduct twice yearly, I offer 30-minute individual mini-coaching sessions to the participants. One of the women I spoke with told me that, though she had found the listening segment dramatically useful, she also wanted to know how to get people to listen to her.
I suspect a lot of people have that question, so – here you go:
1. Listen. This may seem counter-intuitive, but by far the most effective way to get people's attention is to give them yours. When you truly listen to someone – when you offer them your undivided focus, summarize their main points to make sure you're tracking, ask curiosity-based questions to find out more – you're demonstrating openness and respect in a powerful way. Most people automatically want to hear what someone who seems interested in them might have to say.
Whenever you feel like someone isn't listening to you, try really listening to him or her first, and then see what happens. It doesn't always work (some people are truly self-involved), but it usually does. [Note to parents – this often has good results even with teenagers.]
2. Cut to the chase. I was facilitating a meeting a few years ago for a senior operating group, most of whom were quite talkative, and at the same time quite good listeners. There was one guy, though – he would start talking, and within a minute or two, people's attention would drift. I found I kept interrupting him (respectfully), trying to summarize for him, and he'd simply go off in another direction. It was really chewing up the group's time, and breaking their focus.
I pulled him aside at a break, and told him I thought he had important points to make, but that people were having a hard time listening to him. "That always happens to me!" he exclaimed. "People don't understand me, so I try to explain more."
"Try to explain less," I advised. He looked puzzled. "When you say something complex, and people aren't getting it, it's not going to help, generally, to say additional complex stuff. Before you start talking, take a minute to think about how to communicate the essence of your message in a simple way." Happily, he made a real effort to follow my advice, and people were better able to listen to him. I read a really great article today by Kare Anderson in the Harvard Business Review blog, talking about just this situation. If you have a problem communicating in a simple, compelling way, I strongly suggest you read it.
3. Read the Room. If you're talking to someone or to a group, and they're not giving you their attention (surreptitiously looking at their phones, doodling, looking out the window, writing emails), they're not listening to you. As above, you talking more is probably not going to help. Stop talking. Ask a question; find out what they're interested in hearing. Even if you're the most compelling speaker in the world, people won't listen to you if they're not interested in your topic. The depth of your passion for taxidermy is not going to engage your vegan friends – I don't care how articulate you are.
To boil it down: if you want people to listen to you, first listen to them. And when you do talk, focus on topics they find interesting, and paint a vivid picture – use clear, compelling words and images.
Simple advice – but simple doesn't mean easy. I'd love to hear experiences you've had in trying to get people (especially at work) to listen to you. What's worked for you and what hasn't?
Another great post, Erika.
One way that has worked well for me is to tell a good, relevant story. Who doesn't LOVE a good story, especially one laced with some self-deprecating humor? It's a great way to capture an audience's attention and get them engaged, and it can be effective whether the audience is a large group or even just one person.
People who have mastered this technique (that doesn't include me yet, but I'm working on it!) tend to have a large grab bag of stories to draw from, know how to "read the room" (#3 in your post) and know just when and how to pull the right one out.
Please keep the great content coming, Erika!
I expected this to be crap and it was actually good. Nice work!
Listen!…did you hear what I said?….I said listen! (-:
Your article is timely Erika, because I read it late last night after dealing with another teenager that had relapsed on drugs and returned with that beat down tail between the legs look. I've been a rehab counselor for years with my own history of drug addiction, and all the comes with that package, and now that I sit of the other side of the coffee table I often want to grab these kids and shake them and say, "Listen!…did you hear what I said?….I said listen!" But I don't get angry when they come back, because I remember years ago I didn't listen either. So I just smile, welcome them back, and they start anew each day listening to me talk about the folly of drugs! Some listen…so don't! (-:
This is a valuable advice though it's look simpler, when these three points put it in to practice only one could find what you mention, thank you Erika,
Great advice. I think your first point is the one area where most people get lost. People are so focused on getting their own message out that they completely fail to listen. And, if you aren't listening with your eyes and ears it's impossible to read a room.
great article, I will try next time.

Special To The Washington Post.
I still put my 2-year-old to sleep on his back even though each morning he's snuggled on his tummy, head shoved into a corner of his crib. The "back to sleep" message has become ingrained in my new-parent psyche, as the campaign to reduce Sudden Infant Death Syndrome was designed to do when it began 20 years ago after studies showed that placing babies to sleep on their stomachs tripled their SIDS risk.
SIDS, in which an infant dies during sleep from an undetermined cause, can be a huge source of anxiety for new parents - and rightly so. Even after Back to Sleep efforts helped cut the SIDS rate by more than half from 1994 to today, it is still the leading cause of death among U.S. infants aged 1 month to 1 year, with 2,300 cases annually.
The latest research into SIDS is giving parents clearer guidelines for protecting babies during sleep. For example, a recent analysis of more than 1,400 SIDS cases found that having a baby sleep in the parents' bed increases the risk of SIDS by a factor of five for infants younger than 3 months old. Bed sharing presents a risk because, as Children's National Medical Center pediatrician Linda Fu explains to new parents, the airflow around the baby may not be good enough, "and that is all it takes."
In the past decade, researchers identified how low oxygen levels, combined with an underlying brain defect, can cause SIDS. Scientists believe a triple-risk model explains many SIDS cases: A baby has a defect in an area of the brain that controls breathing and arousal; the baby is at an age when those brain areas are still immature; and the baby is exposed to an external stress that compromises his breathing or oxygen levels, or that causes overheating.
"To have a SIDS death, you have to have at least one of those [factors], and you have a higher risk if you have two or three of those happening at the same time," says Fern Hauck, a professor of family medicine at the University of Virginia School of Medicine in Charlottesville.
Sleeping face down on a soft surface or with soft bedding that can press up against the face can decrease a baby's oxygen flow too much. When this happens, a normal baby will auto-resuscitate by gasping, crying, turning his head or moving. "It's thought that SIDS infants have a defective arousal mechanism, which means they stay in that position and gradually suffocate," Hauck says. Overheating is thought to lead to SIDS in a similar way, by suppressing an infant's arousal response.
The Back to Sleep public-health campaigns - now named Safe to Sleep - solved much of the problem, as parents were told that sleeping on the back was best for babies. The SIDS rate fell dramatically, from almost three in 2,000 live births in the late 1980s, to one in 2,000 live births now.
Many parents have stopped using soft bedding and bumper pads in cribs and switched to wearable blankets to lower the risk of suffocation.
Yet since 2001, "the SIDS rates are not falling as one might hope," says Bob Carpenter, the medical statistician at the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine who led the bed-sharing study. He calculates that if all preventable risk factors - including mothers' smoking while pregnant, babies' sleeping on their stomach and bed sharing - were eliminated, the rate of SIDS would drop more significantly, to close to 1 in 10,000 live births.
The connection between brain defects and SIDS was raised definitively in 2010, when researchers at Children's Hospital Boston discovered that SIDS babies were deficient in the brain-signaling chemical serotonin in the brain stem. In fact, according to some research, 50 to 75 percent of infants who die of SIDS have a serotonin defect. In a study published this year, Kevin Cummings, a physiologist at the University of Missouri in Columbia, showed that he could improve auto-resuscitation in newborn rats that had genetically lowered serotonin levels by giving them caffeine. Because caffeine is an effective treatment to stimulate breathing in premature infants, Cummings says it may hold promise as a SIDS prophylactic in high-risk infants.
Other researchers have found that about 10 to 15 percent of SIDS deaths can be traced to babies with a genetic predisposition for long QT syndrome, a heart rhythm disorder that can go undetected and lead to cardiac arrest, says Marta Cohen, a pediatric pathologist at Sheffield Children's Hospital in England. Also, SIDS researchers say smoking tobacco while pregnant may cause a rewiring of the unborn baby's brain in areas important for breathing and arousal, making maternal smoking one of the largest risk factors for SIDS.
It's conceivable that newborns might one day be screened for low serotonin levels in the brain stem or for genes that are involved in faulty arousal, Cohen says, but that day is far off.
So what should parents of newborns do?
According to Hauck, who helped write the American Academy of Pediatrics guidelines about SIDS, parents should:

In Tuesday's edition of The Tribune-Democrat, a statement from the U.S. Postal Service regarding a plan to restructure mail service was misinterpreted.
"The Postal Service is losing approximately $25 million daily due to the lack of meaningful legislation to change our ability to set delivery frequency and receive relief from our (retiree health benefits) payment schedule," said USPS spokesman Tad Kelley.
"Mail is still viable to Americans," Kelley said. "We could be a very strong company long into the future ... but we do need relief from this untenable business model Congress has put us under."

|Maxwell (māks'wěl') Pronunciation Key
Scottish physicist who developed four laws of electromagnetism showing that light is composed of electromagnetic waves. He also investigated heat and the kinetic theory of gases, and he experimented with color vision, producing the first color photograph in 1861.
Our Living Language : James Clerk Maxwell was only fourteen years old when he published his first paper—an accomplishment for anyone, but especially for one who was thought by his first tutor to be slow-witted. His precocious talents, especially in mathematics, did not go unrecognized by others, however, and he started making lasting contributions to science while still very young. In his 20s, he wrote a prize-winning essay in which he showed, based on laws of classical physics, that Saturn's rings were not a single object, but a collection of small objects—a finding not confirmed until over 120 years later, when the Voyager space probe reached the planet. His most famous work was his demonstration, done while he was in his 30s, of the existence of electromagnetic waves and his conclusion that light was also part of the electromagnetic spectrum. This set of discoveries was of fundamental importance for 20th-century physics, as it paved the road for Einstein's theories of relativity and for quantum theory. Other novel ideas of Maxwell's led to the establishment of such diverse fields as information theory and cybernetics. Little wonder, then, that Einstein said, on the centenary of Maxwell's birth in 1931, that his work had been "the most profound and the most fruitful that physics has experienced since the time of Newton."

Life Chain participants know they're going to be on their feet.
And apparently, one of yesterday's younger ones — fourth-grader Julia Hanson — does her best thinking that way.
Julia, who attends Family Worship Center on Kennedy Square, estimated that she was given about half an hour at church one to design an entry for a poster contest sponsored by People Concerned for the Unborn Child.
As it turned out, the small window ended up being more than enough time. Prior to the start of yesterday's 60-minute pro-life vigil downtown, she was named one of the poster competition's two winners.
"It was a swaddled baby," Julia said of her entry," and I wrote, 'Babies are beautiful,' and on the back, I wrote 'When your baby smiles at you for the first time, you'll know that baby is yours forever.' "
The Laurel Elementary School student received a backpack full of prizes as well as a princess crown for her efforts. And she wasn't done getting her message across yet.
"I just think people should not choose abortion," she said. "They should stay away from that and keep their own children — don't even put them up for adoption, just be happy about them."
The junior-senior high poster winner was Kaylene Lane, a New Castle seventh-grader who attends the Highland Avenue Church of God. She couldn't be there, but her grandmother, Nancy Zarella of Bessemer, is a faithful attendee, and she shared that in 1961, she experienced a problem pregnancy with Kaylene's mother.
"My doctor said he wanted to do an abortion," Zarella said, "but it wasn't legal then, plus I had my Catholic upbringing and I knew it was wrong. And as a result, today I have this godly granddaughter."
Zarella spoke, and the poster winners were named, at a 1:30 p.m. service on Kennedy Square. Also participating were the Rev. Darren Abraham, pastor of Gardner Chapel Assembly of God, who led the Pledge of Allegiance; T.R. Walker, worship leader at Faith Country Chapel, who sang praise music; and the Rev. Kris Kauffman, pastor of Family Worship Center, who led in prayer.
After the service, 212 people bearing pro-life banners and signs lined up along The Diamond and Jefferson Street, reaching as far north as the municipal building. There they stood for the next hour, displaying their messages and praying for an end to abortion.
This was New Castle's 21st annual Life Chain. It was organized by Karen Hamrick of Family Worship Center.
Similar events took place in communities across the country, including two others in Lawrence County. Dori McElwain coordinated the Life Chain in Ellwood City, while Fern Heckert, Jan Booth and Janet Lutz organized the event in New Wilmington. Those two events attracted 74 and 40 participants, respectively.
At each, a resolve was expressed to bring about an end to a procedure that was legalized in 1973 and has led to a reported 57 million U.S.abortions since that time."
"Give each person here a voice to speak to our nation and our government,"Kauffman prayed on Kennedy Square, "and let us not stop demonstrating your love until the last child is lost."

Colposcopy and Cervical Biopsy
The colposcopy examination itself (without biopsy) has no risks. With biopsy, there is a small risk of bleeding and infection, which might require additional treatment. If a biopsy was done, you might have some cramping and discharge or light bleeding from the vagina for a few days. The discharge will be grainy and black (or sometimes gray) if a chemical solution was used to stop bleeding.

GOP: Obama Playing Politics While Preaching Peace
Republicans say Obama knows immigration reform is dead.
President Obama's quarterly approval level is down 3 percent from the previous period, according to Gallup.
Now that the bruising partisan bickering regarding the government shutdown and the country's fiscal future have died down, President Barack Obama lectured House Republicans from the White House that they should move ahead on bipartisan Senate-passed bills, such as immigration.
[READ: John Boehner's Job isn't Going to Get Easier]
The likely response he'll get is, yeah right.
"Everyone's exhausted. If anyone thinks immigration is going to happen, I would like to meet them. I don't see how this happens. We can't do anything," says one House Republican chief-of-staff speaking on background.
Americans, following the recent display of government incompetence, are in no mood for bald-faced partisanship, something the president tried to play against in his first address to Americans following the crisis.
"There's been a lot of discussion lately of the politics of this shutdown. But let's be clear: There are no winners here," he said Thursday following the passage of a temporary spending bill that re-opened the federal government after a 16-day shutdown.
That posturing, though, is what riles up Republicans, who say by pressuring them to act on policies they don't support, Obama is the one acting the winner and playing politics. He spent the majority of his address chastising Congress for bringing the country to the brink of credit default and pleaded with House Republicans to support his agenda.
"There's already a broad coalition across America that's behind this effort of comprehensive immigration reform, from business leaders to faith leaders to law enforcement," he said Thursday. "The majority of Americans think this is the right thing to do. And it's sitting there waiting for the House to pass it."
Similarly, Obama pressed for action on a Senate agricultural spending bill that passed with bipartisan support.
"We should pass a farm bill, one that American farmers and ranchers can depend on," he said. "Again, the Senate has already passed a solid bipartisan bill. It's got support from Democrats and Republicans. It's sitting in the House waiting for passage."
[WALSH: Obama Strengthened for Now]
But Obama, as well as any outside political observer, knows that House conservatives loathe the Senate immigration bill because it creates a pathway to citizenship for immigrants who came to the country illegally, something they view as amnesty. And passage of the farm bill has been similarly stymied because Republicans want to make deep cuts to programs funded through the measure, such as food stamps.
And that's exactly the point, says Ron Bonjean, a Republican strategist.
"Imagine trying to bring up a comprehensive immigration bill with amnesty in front of House Republicans – the right-wing tea party would go crazy," he says. "The president would truly like to get a comprehensive bill done but knows that's virtually impossible, so why not spend the next couple months trying to destroy the Republican Party with Hispanic voters?"
The reality is the political atmosphere following the recent brinkmanship is more, and not less, toxic than it was before and it's not likely to change until voters head back to the polls in 2014.
"It's the end of October and in a month and a half we'll be in an election year so I can't see anything happening, anything changing," says the House staffer.

You're leaving Wedding Paper Divas to see the Deal of the Day at our parent site, Tiny Prints.

"I was extremely impressed with the abundance of selections to choose from; the ease and promptness of the changes I requested; and the invitations were absolutely beautiful and well made. They also arrived before the expected delivery date."
"This was the only invitation we could both agree on! He loved the modern layout, I loved the simple elegance. Both our names are long and didn't fit originally, but Dwayne did amazing job adjusting the design until we got it just right! He seriously treated it like he was designing his own invites and made the whole thing work seamlessly."
"The invitation's appearance is dainty, graceful, and elegant. Nature's design that borders the photo enhances its beautiful, delicate look. The font is stylish, easy to read, and polishes the attractive design. Prompt delivery is impressive."
"Unique look of chalk on black can be perfect for certain wedding themes. The contrast of color (we chose plum/purple) is stunning and adds dimension to invitation's appearance. Whimsical swirl to font matches the product's design, but it may be harder to some people to read. Prompt delivery was impressive!"
"This invite was spectacular! I was able to add a nice pop by placing another engagement photo in the back. That was a big hit! The quality of the paper was incredible so the pictures came through beautifully. Everyone said that this invite was very unique and beautiful. It truly set the tone for my wedding."
