I am successfully working my way through a challenge and am on week 6 day 4. I have been eating as cleanly as possible, exercising and pushing myself, and drinking lots of water. I am seeing some results and more importantly, am feeling great! However, I am doing this to look better too. While I have seen some progress physically, I am frustrated.
As you can tell from my starting profile pics, pregnancy was not kind to me and I have lots of fat to lose. So far, I have lost 2 lbs in wk 1, 2 lbs in wk 2, 1 lb in wk 3, and 1 lb in week 4. Nothing in week 5 and so far nothing at week 6. I understand that it is not what the scale says but the simultaneous loss of fat with the gain of muscle that is more important. My arms and legs are toner, and when my husband hugs me, he says he feels a big difference in my back and around my waist. I feel stronger and mentally sharper.
But how on earth am I supposed to lose 20+ lbs of fat in the next 6 weeks? I can't eat better than I am, I can't push myself more physically than I am. The only workout I missed was this week, and it was because I felt like I needed to give my body a break since I am so tired and feeling worn out. I am sleeping plenty and drinking tons of water along with plain green tea. I don't know what else to do and I don't think I will see the type of results many people here have wound up seeing. I've reduced my free day to pancakes for breakfast, eat BFL normally for lunch/snacks, and a free dinner with a few beers.
Is it still possible that lots and lots of fat will start falling off these next 6 weeks? While I see improvement, at the current rate I am going, I feel I will look no where near I hoped I would at the end of 12 weeks. I looked at myself in the mirror this morning and just started crying. And crying and crying. I feel like I am destined to stay fat no matter what I do. Is there hope?
What ever you do don't give up! You are at the crucial part of your challenge where everything is going to fall into place. Give this last 6 weeks everything you have and then some so when you are done there is no doubt in your mind that you did everything you could. Put that scale away or better yet tell your husband to hide it from you until you've completed this challenge. Find something to spark your motivation again. Order the BFL Champions book it could really help you get motivated again. If you were running a marathon and you could see the finish line coming up in the distance would you slow down and walk or would you push yourself harder to get there? YOU'VE GOT THIS!!!
Oh I've got great news for you!!! Go to Media Files above (Inside the Community). Once there, go all the way through the pictures until you get to the end where it says "This is the famous lady success document". Print it out and read it! You should feel much better. Whatever you do, DON'T QUIT. You'll get there!!!
HI Bummed,
I am at the same point as you are and was feeling the same way! I've only lost 5.8 lbs in the six weeks and have been trying soooo hard! I've been taking weekly pictures and havent seen any difference at all, although waist line measurenment shows a 2 inch loss. Feel like it's really slow going given the sacrifice and energy. I'll stick with it fo the next 6 weeks (prepping for Cancun vacation) but I feel your pain!!
My achilles tendon keeps flaring up, which I'm afraid will jeopardize by cardio workouts now.
Just wanted you to know you are in good company and WE CAN DO THIS!! Let's give it our all and hope we do see some dramatic results soon!! Cheers, BreMarie
Hi annrunning,
First of all congratulations for getting to week 6! The frustration is understandable and I would take a look at your nutrition first. Are you eating enough? That is one that is overlooked often for women and can cause you to stop losing. If you do a comparison of your nutrition with the original BFL book and you are on track the next thing I would do is look at free day. The "few beers" stood out to me, alcohol is not recommended on BFL. I believe Bill said if you must a glass of wine with fish for dinner but not as a free item (paraphasing here). That is all I can think of that may help you and I do wish you the best because you are working so hard. Don't give up, you can do this.
Best wishes,
Hello annrunning, Please hang in there and finish. I believe you can do this and will. The few beers could be a problem that may be affecting your metabolic gains, because Bill pointed out that even one beer can affect your metabolic rate for up to three days in length after consumption. It sound like the rest that you are doing is great though. I wish you the best and understad how tough it is to give up the alcohol on a free day even. (During my last challenge our anniversary occurred and I didn't even have a drink then or on the 4th of July or on Labor day as well, all were during that time period, didn't want to sabotage all the good work I had done up to those points). Best wishes and Keep Moving Forward.
I think you need to go re-read your profile about immediate results and not listening to the scale and not giving up!!! Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is the perfect body. There is no fast hard rule that says you are going to lose 20+ pounds of fat in this time frame. If you hadn't started, you would be exactly where you were six weeks ago. Give yourself some credit and celebrate the small victories along the way. I would love to see a copy of your food for the day; you could be undereating. I am on myfitnesspal.com if you want to friend me there (Schmertnat). It is a great tool to keep track of your food and exercise. If not, just post a typical day's menu here. Your destiny is what you make it. If you want to be fat forever, then you will be. If not, you need to get your mind in the right place, and know that you are worth every ounce of sweat and sacrifice, and know that you are the only one who can make this happen for yourself. Just keep plugging away and try not to get down on yourself. I was there once myself; felt like a blob after having both of my babies, but I knew that there was NO WAY that I was going to let myself stay fat! Hang in there, and let us know if there is anything we can do for you!!
"The only person you should try to be better than, is the person you were yesterday!"
Thanks for all the responses everyone!
I read the Women's article and that is very eye-opening. I don't feel so bad because at least I have seen some visible results. Seems like some women didn't get any gratification the first several weeks.
I am NOT GIVING UP! I already decided that even if I stay looking how I do currently, I will still stick to it because of how I feel and the fact that I know I am eating so much better. I think I started to become too focused on the physical part, and that was my problem yesterday.
I thought a lot about my nutrution. A typical day for me looks like:
Workout. It's almost always done on an empty stomach
Meal 1:1/2 c. Oatmeal (little milk in it and a sprinkle of cinnamon) and 1/8 c egg whites with 1/2 a real egg in it. We (the hubby and me) usually split a roma tomato with the egg to jazz it up a little
Meal 2: yogurt and cottage cheese. Both fat free and I eat only greek yogurt, which has insane amounts of protein in it and 5 live active cultures instead of only 2, like some regular yogurts
Meal 3: 1/2 turkey sandwich & 1/2 can of soup (usually veggie or tomato, etc). There is lettuce, tomato, and mustard or ff mayo on the sandwich
Meal 4: Myoplex shake
Meal 5: This is the most variance, but it's usually an appropriate size chicken breast or salmon, potato or brown rice, and a healthy serving of veggie. Last 2 nights were chicken on top of lettuce (with veggies in it) and I make my own vinaigrette dressing which does have 1 ts. of virgin olive oil. Tonight will be a frozen Kashi meal (lots of protein and yummy whole grains) while the family partakes in spaghetti night :-(
Meal 6: plain airpopped popcorn (like what can fit into my hand) with a sprinkle of salt and yogurt.
I was thinking about if I was eating too many carbs, and yesterday I cut the carbs for 2 meals. This morning I woke up 1 lb. lighter after not losing for two weeks. I don't want to go down the slippery slope of avoiding carbs, I know they're not evil, but just wanted to try tweaking my diet a little because maybe that's all it takes. As long as I feel good, I'll try it. I am really wanting to burn this fat off!
I would be sad if I had to give up beer on my off day. We live in an area with lots of microbreweries that also serve good food, and that's a shared enjoyment for me and my husband. We like trying new beers from ales to stouts. I will continue with my off days as is, but if I don't get the results I want in the first challenge, I'll try cutting beer out in the second challenge. Our off days are fridays, so maybe Saturdays, I should add an extra cardio workout equivalent to beer caloric intake from the night before (usually 2 or 3). When the weather warms up, I can easily get a biking session in.
Glad you're gonna persist. You're further along that 20 gazillion people on the planet, so just keep going!
From a glance it looks to me like you might not being eating enough. You should have about 20g protein and 20g carb for each meal. I track my food every once in a while on fitday.com to make sure I am on track. I try to stay at 20/ 20 each meal and about 1500 cal a day.
i am feeling similar frustrations -
like some other people have said - i think alcohol may be playing into it. before BFL i was a heavy drinker - and although i've kind of "tweeked" the plan so it suits my needs/wants/enjoyments - i'm still seeing results...but I have noticed alchohol is playing a big part in my weight loss. If i drink on my free day (i sometimes drink two days a week) then i will gain several pounds back that i had previously lost and it takes about 2-3 days to re-lose those pounds...then i start losing like normal again. I do weigh myself every morning (which i know is a bit excessive). i just think to myself what if i hadn't drank at all? would i have continued to lose instead of wasting days re-losing those booze lbs?
i might be off in my thinking - but maybe try for a week or two completely cutting it out and see how it affects your losses.
i also think to myself that BFL is a 12 week program its not forever. although i intend on making this a permanent life change - once i'm at a comfortable weight it will be about maintaining and you can add those few beers back in on your free day without worry of how much it will affect an actual weight loss for the week. just don't go crazy drinking all the time (my biggest struggle!)
hopefully this isn't counter-productive to other peoples post, but like you i enjoy my beers and have found this to be the most difficult part of the challenge.
Oh honey! You are about to hit the fun part! Congratulations of getting here :)
One thing that jumped out was your last meal - all those hard weight training sessions and our bodies need protein to rebuild muscle through the night. Something with cottage cheese is a great choice because it has a type of protein that is slow release - so your muscles are fed longer while you sleep. But any protein is good...
Week 7 and 8 were super fun weeks for me. Seemed like everyday something new fit or I noticed a changed somewhere! So glad to hear you're at this stage. Go you!!
I am looking forward to weeks 7-12 :-) My last meal with yogurt has 14 g. protein I think because it's greek yogurt. I think I will sub the popcorn for 1/2 c cottage cheese.
I did measurements today and the one that stands out is losing 4 inches around my navel. I calculated my body fat loss to be 2.5% so far, bringing me to 27.5% and 1/4 of the way to my goal of getting to 20%.
For someone 5' 8" with a small frame, how do I know what a good lean mass weight is? I calculated around 108 lbs but I don't know how much muscle I should want to gain. I've gained a few lbs. so far!
I was reading somewhere not sure if it were in the book on one of the Champions, but for women they said you'll really notice a difference on Week 9. So hang in there, and keep going you'll get there. Sometimes we want to go at OUR rate, but consider your age, metabolism, and how active you are. Be patient with yourself. I"m proud of you so far I"ve also lost 4 lbs. 1 lb a week for me, but then I got sick. Now I'm on the road to recovery. So have to take it easy. enjoy the Journey!
jus keep pushing..i dunno wat it is but sounds like to me that your doing something wrong and you need to identify that cause if you were doing the right thing you would see progress

A reasonable option for an entry-level dSLR, the Pentax K-50 should satisfy if you need the weather-sealed design. But while acceptable, it and its cheaper sibling the K-500 lag behind the competition in image quality and performance.
The Pioneer VSX-823-K is a good deal for AirPlay fans looking for lots of HDMI connectivity, but it falls short on wireless features like Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.
While the camera still has the weather-sealed body and same basic design, almost everything else about the Pentax K-3 from sensor to control layout is different.
The K-5 II gets an enhanced autofocus system, plus a sibling without an antialiasing filter. And they're accompanied by a couple of new lenses.
We can't justify the purchase of this machine when we compare it with the $169 Bunn My Cafe MCU, which can make decent K-Cup coffee and a reliable cup from fresh grounds.
The Pioneer VSX-1022-K's combination of six HDMI inputs and AirPlay looks good from afar, but this AV receiver is only worth considering if you can find it heavily discounted.
We're a week away from meeting the photo-focused Samsung Galaxy K Zoom cameraphone, and new snaps give us a glimpse of how it's changed.
Samsung has scheduled an event where a camera with a K will come into focus, which could be a sequel to the Galaxy S4 Zoom and spin-off of the Samsung Galaxy S5. How kurious...
Allons-y, feet! The classic "Doctor Who" companion K-9 now comes in fuzzy footwear for Whovians, alongside tweed suit and Tardis slippers, on ThinkGeek.
It's a great option if you have a shelf full of K-mount lenses and don't mind missing some action shots, but the Pentax K-01 isn't such a great option for a typical amateur photographer.

Best Day time moisturizer
By Nana Kathy
from Yardville, NJ
See all my reviews
This is a perfect daytime moisturizer and I would never use anything else.
always use befor foundation!
By Joy, vineyard lady.
from Nebraska
I use it every morning. It helps my foundation go on smoother. If I do not use foundation on a particular day, my face still feels protected.
This also works on neck & cleavage
By Big Bend Mama
from Big Bend National Park TX
I discovered all this on an accidental whim. I was out of all of my neck & chest (cleavage area) moisturizers. So I decided to use the Rich Moisturizer instead. The results were really amazing! I had put it on all over my neck, to the shoulder line and covered my whole chest with it, even down into my cleavage. I spread it around throughly until it had soaked in really well & then went to bed. This all occurred after I had done my nightly facial routine. The next morning, I was AMAZED at how plump and youthful my skin looked! It looked better than it ever had when I was using any of the moisturizers for the neck and chest area. I didn't even have those sleep position wrinkles anywhere! So give it a try & see what you think. All I know is that I will keep using this stuff on my face as well as my chest because it REALLY WORKS for me. Thank you DHC!!!!Big Bend Mamma
Many uses/users
By foxyquilterNH
from Laconia, NH
I have used this product for years especially in the winter multiple times during the day because it is so light yet rich. My husband discovered it this winter and now uses it daily to keep his skin from drying. He loves it because it is scent free. Thanks DHC!
Rich Moisture Lotion
By Dstiles
from Turlock, CA
I use the Rich Moisture Lotion morning and night and find that it works really well to reduce the amount of dryness.
Nice and light
By TESS
from Laguna Niguel
Even though I have very dry skin, I can't stand moisturizers that feel heavy on my skin. This one is nice and light- soaks right in. No heavy scent, either. My favorite new moisturizer for daytime. (I use the extra moisture at night, and love it too.)
Love, love!!
By Michele
from Bryan, TX
The best moisturizer I have ever used. I use it morning and night. Completely non greasy. When my grand kids cheeks get raw and red in the winter, I even put it on their cheeks. Been using it for many years.
Excellent, Light Moisturizer
By Knitting Bubbie
from Potomac, MD
I use this product every morning after washing my face. It moisturizes beautifully and is light. I love it.
Better then a facelift!!
I use this product everyday before applying makeup. After a shower or just face washing it is perfect for all day use.

Savings Equivalent to $5.95 off (cost of standard shipping). $20 minimum purchase of California Baby products required.
A note from Jessica, developer of California Baby:
"5 capfuls is what I use to get a tub of soft and silky bubbles. There's something comforting about a bubble bath—I highly recommend for all ages. It's very hard to stop yourself from building a bubble tower, and blowing bubbles through our bubble wand is a highly relaxing form of meditation. Try it—you'll be hooked, just as I am. 5 year olds know the secret to a contented life: as many bubbles and toys in the tub as possible! California Baby bubble baths are so gentle that if you skip the lotion or the massage oil, there's no dryness or itchiness to worry about."For grownups:
Tips: Because this is not a synthetic bubble bath you must help the bubbling process along by shaking/agitating bubbles under vigorously running water at the start of tub filling. Also try stimulating bubbles with your showerhead. Change the aromatherapy scent by adding 4-6 drops of California Baby's pure essential oil blends once the bubble level has been reached. If using for newborns dilute with water for a gentle cleansing bath.I have food allergies and am following a restricted diet. What products are appropriate for my use?California Baby products are free from common allergens such as milk, egg, peanut, walnut, cashew, almond and pecans, fish, shellfish, soy, and wheat. California Baby products are also free of gluten and casein. California Baby products are free of ingredients that cause allergic reactions—highest on the list is synthetic fragrances, which may contain phthalates and other irritants. To ensure purity, California Baby's essential oils are tested for synthetic contaminants and pesticide residue.California Baby suggests that you always do a patch test before use.
Here's how: apply a small amount of the product to the inside of the wrist right before bedtime. In the morning look at the area for any redness, itchiness or any sign of irritation. Do this for 7 days. If you are sensitive to a product it is likely to show up during this test.Are your products non-comedogenic?This term refers to ingredients in beauty products that clog the pores and can cause blackheads, pimples or cosmetic-related acne. California Baby does not use potentially comedogenic, non-natural ingredients like mineral oil, petrolatum, paraffin and dyes that are commonly found in other personal care products. Are your products safe for pregnant women to use?California Baby Super Sensitive products (no fragrance) are an excellent choice for use during pregnancy. California Baby recommends that any expectant mother check with her physician before changing her skin care routine with our products, or any other line of products. I am a Vegan. What products can I use?All California Baby products start with a vegetarian point of view. California Baby makes two products that utilize animal ingredients: California Baby Diaper Rash Cream contains an ultra-purified lanolin and our sunblock sticks contain beeswax. The choice was made to use lanolin and beeswax as water barriers instead of the typical (cheaper and cruder) petroleum and fish oil alternatives. Lanolin is extracted from the wool of the sheep and is not considered a body fat. Beeswax is hypoallergenic and is considered acceptable by many vegetarians. Do you test on animals?California Baby does NOT conduct product or ingredient tests of any kind on animals.Do you use organic ingredients? Are any of your products certified organic?A note from Jessica, developer of California Baby: "At California Baby, we believe that a personal care product that is natural, safe and sustainable is more beneficial to our consumers and the planet than simply bearing an organic seal—the current USDA organic seal is designed for food—not personal care; the safety and efficacy of all the ingredients (active and inactive) are not the primary objective of the code, which we feel should be an important component of any cosmetics standard. After all, personal hygiene products are not food. Currently there are a few new personal care organic standards being developed, and California Baby is on the forefront of developments and will keep you posted.From day one (1995), California Baby has always purchased organic ingredients and we continue to always to "look to buy organic." But we also have our own—very stringent guidelines—and the two don't always coalesce. For instance, we require that our vegetable oils not be processed in a facility that also processes nuts. The oils may be available organically but if they are processed in a facility that also processes nuts—this is not acceptable to us. This is just once instance where organic is not the better choice for us."Jessica, the developer of California Baby has served on the steering committee of the new Natural Standard backed by the Natural Products Association (NPA) and we comment frequently on organic rule making message boards, in addition to being an active and compliant co-signer of the Campaign for Safe Cosmetics (EWG). California Baby remains stringent yet progressive so that they help to shape regulations on a state and national level.

there are:
- 1 iPhone
- 1iPod Touch
Each of them need different music and different apps.
I have iTunes and I use it with the iPhone to sync and backup.
The iPod is connected to the computer just for backup and battery charge. I would like to have a separate library of music and apps for it. I don't want for eg. to have in the iPod the same apps the iPhone has... I cannot sync it.
Is there any way to have 2 devices, 1 iTunes and 2 libraries?

Location: Arcata
On 09-05-2013, approximately 9:00 a.m. Humboldt County Drug Task Force Agents assisted by the Arcata Police Department and Humboldt County Sheriff's Office served a Humboldt Superior Court Search Warrant on a residence in the 800 block of Aldergrove Road, Arcata. When the agents served the search warrant they located Stephen Jerome Wieland, 32 years old inside the residence. When agents initially entered the home they located an over/under shotgun mounted above the front door. A search of the residence revealed an indoor marijuana grow and an outdoor marijuana grow with a total of 313 growing marijuana plants ranging in size from 1' to 6'. Agents also located approximately 12 pounds of processed marijuana, three pounds of marijuana bud packaged for sale in one pound bags, approximately ½ lb of hash (concentrated marijuana), packaging material, a money counter, a scale and other indications the marijuana was being sold for profit.
The Humboldt County Building and Planning Department was called to the scene due to electrical hazards witnessed by the agents. The Building and Planning Department notified Pacific Gas and Electric and had the power shut off to the residence.
Wieland was arrested for cultivation of marijuana, possession of marijuana for sale, maintaining a residence for drugs and armed in the commission of a felony. He was transported to the Humboldt County Correctional Facility where he was booked and released on his own recognizance due to jail overcrowding.
Anyone with information regarding drug related activity is encouraged to contact the Humboldt County Drug Task Force at 707-444-8095.

H.G. Reichenbach, in Xenia Orchidaceae, described the unique genus Aa. Pronounced "ah ah" this genus of 25 species occurs in remote grasslands at high altitudes far above the tree line (3000–4400 m) in Andean South America and the paramo of Costa Rica. The genus is not normally found in cultivation because of its preference for a cold high-altitude habitat and also because of its the small dirty-white flowers. Not far below the snowline, the plants are terrestrial and characterized by a basal rosette of leaves with an elongated inflorescence that originates in a lateral position. The flowers, non-resupinate and surrounded by papery bracts, have an odd unpleasant sent that may attract a tiny fly. The lip is hood-shaped with a fimbriate margin. The glabrous column has large stigmas and four pollinia (see illustration).
Even though some orchid taxonomists have reduced Aa from a separate genus to simply a member of Altensteinia , most taxonomists accept it as a valid genus. The Lectotype for the genus is Ophrys paleacea Kunth (1806). Smithsonian orchid expert Bob Dressler classifies the genus in subfamily Spiranthoideae, tribe Cranichideae, subtribe Cranichidinae. The origin of the generic name is unclear. Some believe that it was contrived to occur first in a generic list while others believe it may be named for the Dutch artist Pieter van der Aa. F.C. Hoehne suggest the name was related to the words "agua corrente", a flow of water, since Aa is generally found near small streams. Aa is surely one of the oddest names in taxonomy. Other families also have unusual names, such as the wasp Lala palusa or the clam Abra cadabara.

We´re with the Saudis on this one! Kick Islamist (Muslim Brotherhood) butt! Support the Egyptian military!
Click Here if you Like this Comment 27 persons like this.
Typical NYT socialist drivel.. If the author truly looked at history in that region of the world, any sense of an "Arab Spring" spring existed solely in the minds of liberal utopians. Those people have been divided via tribal and religious conflict since the pyramids became tourist attractions. In truth, like Yugoslavia, it took dictators to keep a lid on the inter-tribal hostilities, but even they could not expunge the centuries old "bad blood" that exists even to this day. Muslims, Copts, Sunnis, Shias, etc. It is time to simply stand back and observe the carnage that is the result of centuries of hate and tribal repression, take it´s course. And when it has run it´s course, perhaps then the region may reflect a place where the mere mention of freedom and democracy are not only possible, but can actually thrive.

"ways out of this impasse appeared possible"Only in liberal dreams. They refuse to recognize the evil in the Islamists. They claim that by letting the Islamists come to the table as equals that things will be resolved. But the Islamist agenda is clear and it is not peaceful. It as never claimed to be peaceful. The agenda is to overthrow all others. Period.It is unfortunate that Arab strong men seem to be the only ones that can keep the Islamists under control and I think Bush was foolish to talk about democracy for the region. American interests only require stability of the region. If the people there want to make it a democratic peace, great. If not, a dictator can get the job done as well. The author claims that breeds more Islamists. Perhaps so but they are there anyway. Controlling them seems to be the only viable option.

History will accurately reflect this time as when a US POTUS paid extremists like Aaryes, Code Pinko & Google Mo Bro´s to travel to Turkey & train the trainers, to "fake" the Arab Spring for Democracy. Obama funded the entire effort, with free Obama Phones for all.They got away with it until 3 things happened: 1) Gaddafi fought the invasion & they allowed the Mo Bro´s to publicly massacre him. 2)In Syria they also fought the invasion, with Russia & China supporting them. 3) The Mo Bro´s in Egypt enforced draconian Sharia Law on a free people who refused to play along.Even the Saudi´s know Obama & the NWO plan to hand the African continent to the murderous Mo Bro´s is insanity.

"Frasier" meets "Murder She Wrote" in this new cozy series by real-life psychologist, Mary Kennedy. Maggie Walsh leaves her clinical psychology practice in Manhattan to move to sunny Cypress Grove, a small south Florida town. She joins the staff of local radio station WYME to host a daily talk show called "On the Couch with Maggie Walsh" where she dispenses humor, advice and a few psychological insights.
But it's not all jokes and one-liners; Maggie finds herself in the middle of a murder investigation in every book. With a host of zany characters at WYME, the help of her flamboyant mother, Lola, and a hot detective named Rafe, Maggie does her best to solve the murders and bring the killers to justice.

Langman will address gun violence and school shootings on March 4 at 5 p.m. in the University Hall Amphitheater
Friday, February 01, 2013
Langman's research on school shooters has been cited in congressional testimony on Capitol Hill, and he has been interviewed about school shooters by media outlets in the United States, Canada, Europe, Australia, South America and the Middle East.
In the wake of the mass, fatal shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary School in Connecticut in December, Langman's recommendations on preventing school shootings were presented by the head of the American Psychological Association to President Obama.
Langman holds an M.A. in counseling psychology from Lesley and a Ph.D. in counseling psychology from Lehigh University. His book, Why Kids Kill: Inside the Minds of School Shooters, has been translated into German, Finnish and Dutch.
For more information on Langman and materials relating to school shooters, visit his website here.
Langman has provided training on preventing school shootings to several thousand professionals in law enforcement, mental health, and education. He is also a poet and a playwright.
Free and open to the public, Langman's lecture will take place at 5 p.m.
in the 2nd floor Amphitheater of University Hall, followed by a
reception. University Hall is located on Lesley's Porter Campus at 1815
Massachusetts Avenue, Cambridge.
Dr. Langman's talk is part of a Gun Series presented by the Office of Lesley President Joseph B. Moore to engage the community in a conversation on gun control in the wake of the school shootings in Connecticut and amid renewed national attention to the epidemic of gun violence.
Lesley hosted the state's most prominent gun control advocate, John Rosenthal, on February 5, for the first lecture in the series. Read coverage of Rosenthal's talk here.
The third and final speaker in the Gun Series is Harvard Professor and New Yorker staff writer Jill Lepore on Monday, April 1 at 4:00 pm in University Hall Amphitheater.

For many years the Catholic cathedral and its adjoining grammar school and priests' rectory were the focal point of church activities in this area. The once old-fashioned interior was designed along the lines of spectacular cathedrals that dot the landscape of every town in Italy. I recall covering masses, priest ordinations and other events when I wielded pen and camera for the Nevada Register, the weekly statewide Catholic newspaper. In those days the bishop for the entire state was Thomas Gorman, a crusty individual of the old school of church rules and discipline.
His successor, Bishop Robert Dwyer, was of a modern cut of cloth and one of his early acts — much to the distress to the older parishoners — was to completely gut the historical interior of St. Thomas and bring in the ultra modern altar and other treatments that it now features.
The current retrofitting to the 100-year-old building is being spearheaded in large part by former Reno Mayor Sam Dibitonto. The fomer mayor was baptized at St. Thomas in 1929 and has served as a eucharistic minister there since the 1960s. Being such a minister, Dibitonto has served Mass, passed the collection plate and performed many other duties. During his stint as mayor he was probably one of the few civic leaders you could catch at City Hall during the week and then see him perform his churchly duties at Sunday Mass.
St. Thomas Grammar school was in operation for 38 years and it was staffed by the Dominican sisters, the same order that ran St. Mary's Regional Medical Center for many years.
A cornerstone ceremony to commemorate the centennial of the church was held on July 28. The workings of the church have been run by Conventional Franciscans for the past 20 years.
In addition to its faithful parish congregation St. Thomas was the favorite spot for tourists to attend church and many of the pews have been home ot the world famous personages and entertainers that used to descend on The Biggest Little City in its heyday.
Here's to another century of service for the Grand Dame of Reno churches.
Celebrity corner
An actor who was as famous for his physical prowness as his many leading roles in high-budget films was on the Turner Classic Movie channel the other night in one of his lesser known, black and white films entitled "Shockproof." The 1949 flick was shot around the first time I met Cornel Wilde, the curly haired swordsman in many Technicolor epics of the silver screen.
In "Shockproof," Wilde was teamed with a lesser-known actress named Patricia Knight. Wilde played a probation officer responsible for Knight, and he subsequently fell in love with her and the pair "went on the lam" after she shot and wounded her former boyfriend. All turned out well in the end and you could tell the movie was shot on a low budget and in short time.
During the winter of 1949 I made the acquaintance of Wilde when he showed up at the Flying ME divorcee ranch in Washoe Valley on the old 395 Highway. Wilde, who was adept at all major sports — but especially fencing — had a penchant for horseback riding and the Flying ME had a nice string of horses.
Extremely pleasant and engaging, Wilde was the toast of the ranch and an interesting celebrity. He told of how he had gone to Tinseltown in the first place. He was enrolled at Columbia University in New York and was eventually going to become a doctor. At that time Laurence Olivier was starring on Broadway in "Romeo and Juliet" and unfortunately his fencing skills were not up to par so a call was sent out to a local fencing club and Wilde was dispatched to be the instructor. He got along famously with Olivier, who quickly wired some contacts in Hollywood to give the ruggedly handsome Wilde a screen test and the rest is history.
What was most impressive about Wilde at that first meeting was learning that he could speak more than a half dozen languages fluently.
Some 26 years later, when my company was promoting the Clint Eastwood Celebrity Tennis tournament at the Hyatt hotel in Incline Village I came across Wilde's name on the list of celeb players. Contacting him to appear at Tahoe was a no brainer and he proved to be one of the most enteratining of the two dozen celebrities who competed. The next year we staged the tournament in Las Vegas at the Tropicana Hotel and Cornel was on top of the list of invitees. Over drinks one night at the Trop he confided in me, "You know, I've played in dozens and dozens of these things but I've never won!" I told him I'd see what we could do. Since the format for celeb tourneys was to pair the star with a tennis pro it was an easy matter to give Cornel the top pro as his partner. Needless to say they walked through the tournament and grabbed first prize.
Following that I used to talk with him frequently by phone but never saw him in person again. The last performance I caught of him was years later, just before his untimely death, as a lead character on a segment of the popular "Murder, She Wrote" TV show.
One of the rare "man for all seasons" in the acting profession.

Darling Daisy Save the Date Magnets The magnets are fabulous and everyone loves them! They are nice quality and very beautiful!
Everything we wanted!
Darling Daisy Save the Date Magnets We picked this magnet because its the main flower in our wedding. We got so many compliments on the design, simple and elagant, everything we wanted!
pretty but proof did not accurately depict
Darling Daisy Save the Date Magnets These are very pretty and unique save the dates. However, the writing on the petals is barely visible. In the proof the writing looked much bigger and bolder. The person who proofed the design enlarged writing on the side (website info) because it wasn't legible but now it looks a little funny since it is more dominant than the names on the petals. I wish they had sent me an actual proof in the mail before placing this order because it would be an easy fix.

We all had the BEST time on our trip. We couldn't have made it better if we tried. All your efforts to make and keep us happy were very evident and like our last trip, we really felt that the Crew wanted us to be happy, comfortable, enthused, and safe. It was as if they were purposefully WANTING all of us to have our best experience ever. And we did. We would do it all over in a flash...and maybe we just will one of these days.

Baja – Among the Great Whales
We're back and it was a terrific trip. We saw many whales and calves in Magdalena Bay and had a terrific time. I am so impressed with the ship's management and professionalism - our Expedition Leader was especially outstanding.
Tampa, FL
Baja - Among the Great Whales
The humpbacks and gray whales that travel to the Gulf of California and the Sea of Cortez were what drew us to this sailing. Our favorite memory was sitting in a Zodiac (Panga is the name used for wooden boats here unlike the Galapagos) and having a gray whale swim under us and splash us with his fluke.
Colorado Springs, CO
Baja - Among The Great Whales
I will continue to book through ExpeditionTrips. The staff's responsiveness and timeliness is much appreciated. There are so many choices presented and the knowledge of the staff in tailoring a trip specifically to the client's interest is exceptional. I have been most appreciative for the staff's persistence in ensuring that all discounts have been applied.

The content we created for Innovations for Poverty Action in November 2011 appears below. This content is likely to be no longer fully accurate, both with respect to what it says about Innovations for Poverty Action and with respect to what it implies about our own views and positions. With that said, we do feel that the takeaways from this examination are sufficient not to prioritize re-opening our investigation of this organization at this time.
In 2011, we declared Innovations for Poverty Action a "standout organization," which meant that we found it to be an outstanding opportunity to accomplish good but that we rated our top charities above it.
Published: November 28, 2011
IPA carries out research on aid, primarily developing-world aid, and advocates for the use of this research in decision-making.
We feel that IPA is a standout organization because:
Our full review, below, discusses our full assessment of IPA, including what we see as its strengths and weaknesses as well as issues we have yet to resolve.
IPA is focused on researching aid programs. It provides implementation services for studies (e.g., carrying out surveys) as well as assistance and training for them; it also participates in discussions with donors and the public about how to use the available research to maximize the effectiveness of aid; finally, its Proven Impact Initiative and scale-up initiatives aim to expand programs they believe to be well-supported by the research and that they have a comparative advantage supporting.1
The bulk of IPA's work relates to developing-world aid. IPA categorizes its work into seven sectors: agriculture, charitable giving, education, health, microfinance and enterprise, governance and community participation and water and sanitation.2
Note that we have not investigated the Proven Impact Fund, a sub-program of IPA "designed to allocate resources to organizations implementing the ideas selected for the Proven Impact Initiative,"3 because IPA stated to us that (a) the Proven Impact Fund is too new to be well-suited to a GiveWell evaluation; (b) IPA has committed not to use unrestricted funds for the Proven Impact Fund.4
IPA's focus is on providing and discussing research on how to make aid more effective. Thus, our key questions for it are:
Note that IPA has stated that it will be sending us more information on these topics, particularly regarding its influence with policymakers and additional evidence in support of the interventions it labels as "Proven."
This section discusses our own subjective assessment of the quality of IPA's research (as distinct from its perceived quality by others). We feel that our assessment is relevant, because
Our take on IPA's research is as follows.
IPA's studies are at the top end of quality for studies in this area (evaluating the impact of development programs). In our experience, most research in this area suffers from methodological problems and concerns that make it hard to rely on, and a particular kind of study (the randomized controlled trial) is less prone to these problems and concerns.5 Most of the studies featured on IPA's website, and all of the studies that we discuss in more detail below, are randomized controlled trials; in addition, most of the randomized controlled trials we have seen that appear highly relevant for aid are featured on IPA's website.
However, we have not examined enough individual IPA studies to make a categorical statement that all IPA studies are at the top end of quality for studies in this area. IPA's individual projects are led by individual researchers, so presumably there will be heterogeneity in quality of output. IPA stated to us that it does understake considerable investment in staff training, research protocols and data collection strategies to maintain high quality, but we did not evaluate those internal quality control procedures.
On another page, we discuss notable research affiliated with Innovations for Poverty Action. Overall, we feel that IPA has not produced very strong evidence (as opposed to suggestive or supplementary evidence) for any particular aid-relevant conclusion to date, and that its promotion of certain programs as "Proven" is not fully warranted in some cases. Our top health interventions are generally backed by either a large number of high-quality studies or by strong macro evidence; by contrast, no particular view disseminated by IPA appears to have more than a few studies behind it.
This latter point is a function of the fact that to date, there has been relatively little research in this area of the quality which IPA studies routinely have. This point could be taken as an argument for donating to IPA with the aim of increasing the quantity of high-quality research. As stated at our discussion of IPA's notable research, there are cases in which substantial further replication is in progress.
On another page, we discuss notable research affiliated with Innovations for Poverty Action.
The case for IPA's influence is open to interpretation. Our take is that IPA has had noticeable influence in debates over school-based deworming, microlending and bednet distribution, and that there has been some preliminary funding and piloting of other interventions promoted by IPA.
Our view is that IPA's influence in the areas of deworming, microlending and bednet distribution has been positive, convincing other international actors to advocate for school-based approaches to deworming, encouraging skepticism of existing approaches and experimentation in the case of microlending and encouraging a "default to free bednets" (as opposed to selling bednets) in case of bednet distribution.
Note that the set of notable or influential studies we discuss is only a subset of all the studies IPA has carried out, i.e., not all of IPA's research ends up having noticeable influence. For a list of all IPA studies as of this writing (2-Nov-2011), see the 116 studies currently returned by a search of its publications.6
We don't feel the connection between studies and social impact is clear enough to report cost-effectiveness directly in social impact terms; instead, here we discuss how much a study typically costs.
Dean Karlan, IPA's President and Founder,7 has stated to us that a typical study costs between $50,000 and $500,000 (although some can be even more expensive, when they are studying multiple interventions at once, for example). He added that cheaper studies tend to be more operational research, for example, studies on how to get people to finish their immunization series, on optimal pricing of health products, or on takeup and usage of savings products; studies which require extensive surveying tend to be more expensive. 8 These figures seem consistent with the limited information we have on the actual costs of past IPA studies (confidential) and with the information we have on future projected studies (see below).
IPA has stated to us that it seeks more unrestricted funding for purposes such as outreach (i.e., promoting its research methods and findings), training (of evaluators), and general infrastructure (which would better position it to carry out studies in countries where it does not yet have a strong presence). It gave us specific, concrete "room for more funding" analysis up to the level of $2 million per year. The USD $2 million threshold was provided based on a uniform request from GiveWell, but IPA has stated that its research initiatives would benefit from increased funding in order to replicate interventions and evaluations in multiple contexts and to expand the scope of the research questions and that these initiatives can absorb unrestricted funds of up to $50 million for research and accompanying interventions. 9
With an additional $100,000, IPA would fund:
With an additional $500,000, IPA would fund all of the above activities, as well as:
At the $1,000,000 level, IPA would still fund all of the above activities and also:
Finally, at the $2,000,000 level, IPA would carry out the above and also be able to undertake two exciting larger projects:
The above expenses would presumably increase IPA's ability to raise funding for, and carry out, more studies. Thus, we also requested information on what areas of study it would undertake if it had its own discretion over the funds (while understanding that in many cases the studies IPA undertakes are driven by the major funders who pay for them10).
IPA provided the following possibilities. All of these are replications of projects that have previously been evaluated.11
|Research questions
|What does the existing evidence say?
|Possible research locations
|Estimated budget
|Examining Underinvestment in Agriculture
|What kinds of products can assist farmers in making more productive investments? What are the returns to fertilizer? What are the returns to other agricultural inputs, such as plow usage or labor? Are farmers risk averse, or do they lack the initial capital to invest in agricultural inputs?
|Building on evidence that fertilizer (when used in specified quantities) is a profitable investment for farmers in Western Kenya, an RCT study found that farmers purchased fertilizer for the next season more often when given the chance to buy it right after harvest with free delivery at the start of the next planting season. The study did not examine directly whether crop yields or profits rose.12 The authors concluded that the program was not cost effective as implemented, but the idea of selling vouchers at harvest time is promising, if done through a cheaper delivery channel.13
|Mali, Uganda, Malawi
|$1 to 5 million
|Graduating the Ultra-Poor
|What is the impact of the Microfinance Graduation Pilot intervention on social and economic outcomes (income, assets, school attendance of children, health and food security)? What is the viability of "graduating" the ultra poor to food security and/or microfinance? Is mandating savings necessary for ensuring financial stability among the target group?
|The first study of the program compared pre- and post-program data on participants and on those who did not qualify for the program due to being slightly better off. The study found positive results both soon after and a few years after the program ended. Preliminary results from two RCTs in India are publicly available but the authors have requested that they not be cited.14 The first program studied cost about $500 per participant.15
|Mali, Liberia, Sierra Leone
|$1.5 to 3 million per site
|Incentives for Vaccines
|What level of incentive works in increasing immunization rates? What is the impact of incentives when offered in public health facilities in addition to mobile clinics?
|Villages were randomly assigned to receive immunization camps, immunization camps plus rewards for bringing children to the camps, or neither. Both interventions resulted in statistically significant increases in the number of immunizations and rates of children fully immunized, with incentives having a larger effect.16 The cost of the camps with incentives was $28 per child fully immunized and $56 at camps without incentives.17
|Peru, Morocco (and others)
|$100,000 to $1 million per site
|Remedial Education
|What is the impact of the tutoring program on children's test scores? If the program is effective, is it due to the remedial education, or simply because of smaller class sizes? Will reducing instructional time with the regular teacher (by pulling low performing students out the regular class) reduce learning levels? If so, would remedial classes be more effective if conducted after school hours? Can teachers achieve the same results without assistants, if trained to do so?
|A randomized evaluation found statistically significant improvements in tests scores among children in schools that received tutors. Improvements did not persist for schools that had received tutors in the year or two following the program. Gains for the worst-performing students were still statistically significant one year after the program, though at a considerably lower level than they were immediately following the program.18 The program cost $2.25 per student per year and $0.67 per standard deviation improvement in test scores.19
|$1.2 million
|Safe Water Project (Chlorine dispenser system)
|How will the dispenser system be financed over time? How will a reliable supply of chlorine be delivered to communities? If chlorine supply is publicly and donor financed, how will funding be linked to efficient distribution? How will the dispenser hardware be installed and maintained over time?
|A randomized evaluation looked at the combination of free chlorine dispensers at water collection points and local promoters of the dispensers. The full report on the evaluation is preliminary; a summary paper reported that the intervention led to a 37 percentage point gain in chlorine use at 3 weeks and 53 percentage point gain at 3-6 months.20 Systematic reviews have found that point-of-use chlorination reduces reported diarrhea;21 we have not seen direct evidence that point-of-collection chlorination reduces diarrhea (chlorine may provide residual protection in some cases22). The dispenser study found that the program could be "extremely cost-effective, with a cost per DALY saved that could be as low as $20 at scale."23

"Our approach to determining the focus of our research is generally a collaborative process between researchers, implementing partners and IPA, yet ultimately dependent on funding. As such, our priorities are also somewhat tied to funding and the levels that correspond to the projects' varying size and need (as well as the availability of other funds for the same purpose)."

Daily Joke
A young man from Nebraska moves to Florida and goes to a big "everything under one roof" department store looking for a job. The manager asks, "Do you have any sales experience?" The kid replies, "Yeah, I was one of the best Bible salesman back in Omaha."
The boss liked the kid and gave him the job. "You can start tomorrow. I'll come down after we close and see how you did."
His first day on the job was rough, but he got through it. After the store was locked up, the boss came down. "How many customers bought something from you today?" The kid responds, "One."
The boss says, "Just one? Our sales people average 20 to 30 customers a day. How much was the sale for?"
"$101,237.65? Holy Mother Mary! What did you sell to him?"
"First, I sold him a small fish hook. Then, I sold him a medium fish hook. Then, I sold him a larger fish hook. Then, I sold him a new fishing rod. Then, I asked him where he was going fishing and he said down the coast. I told him he was going to need a boat, so we went down to the boat department, and I sold him a twin engine Boston Whaler. Then, he said he didn't think his car would pull it, so I took him down to the automobile department and sold him a 4x4 truck with all the bells and whistles."
"A guy came in here to buy a fish hook, and you sold him a boat and a truck?!"
"No, the guy came in here to buy feminine products for his wife, and I said, 'Dude, your weekend's shot. You should go fishing.'"
