My research aims to understand the health paradox of adolescence - the years between 12 and 25 are a time of great physical fitness, yet this is the period during which 75% of all mental disorders have their onset. Why should this be the case? Clearly changes in the brain are likely culprits, but how they interact with genetic and environmental factors to produce illness is unclear.

quote:Phillip Walker Sailors, 69, of Lilburn, was booked into the Gwinnett County jail Sunday afternoon and charged with murder for the death of Rodrigo Abad Diaz, according to jail records and his arrest warrant. Diaz, 22, was shot in the head Saturday night as he tried to drive away from Sailors' home on Hillcrest Road in Lilburn, the warrant states.

quote:All we can know for certain from the story is that he has ONE gun and no known criminal history. But, that doesn't stop our own far left whack-job liberal f*cking moron from jumping to the conclusion that he's a "gun nut." You really need some serious f*cking professional help.
quote: You typically have to have a reasonable apprehension of serious bodily harm or death to use deadly force to protect yourself. Once the immediate threat of such is removed, your right to use deadly force ends. Now, under certain circumstances could you be acquitted? Sure. But, assuming the facts you gave are the undisputed evidence of the case, you don't have the right to use deadly force because you fear some future retribution for having let an intruder get away.

Why the Political Homophobia of the 1950s?
- Location: Visual Arts Center, Kresge Auditorium
- Event Type: Lecture
- Sponsor: Government
- Contact: Lynne Atkinson
- - Open to the Public -
Why the anti-gay repression of the 1950s? One leading answer points to the social impact of the Second World War and post-war demobilization. Far-reaching shifts in gender roles created opportunities for political elites to promote gender conformity. But if society was already deeply homophobic, why were there no gay rights groups before the repression of the 1950s? No such groups emerged in fact until the federal government promoted anti-gay stigma. This talk will describe how and why anti-gay repression broke out within the federal government, creating an era of "straight government" that has taken until the Obama presidency to completely dismantle.
The principal speaker will be Rick Valelly, Claude C. Smith '14 Professor of Political Science at Swarthmore College, where he has taught since 1993. Professor Valelly is the author of American Politics: A Very Short Introduction (Oxford University Press, 2013), The Two Reconstructions: The Struggle for Black Enfranchisement (University of Chicago Press, 2004), and Radicalism in the States: The American Political Economy and the Minnesota Farmer-Labor Party (University of Chicago Press, 1989). In 2009 he published Princeton Readings in American Politics. Professor Valelly is currently researching the political development of LGBT rights in the U.S. with a fellowship from the American Council of Learned Societies.
Commenting upon Professor Valelly's talk will be Steve Engel, an Assistant Professor of Politics at Bates College. He is the author of two books, The Unfinished Revolution: Social Movement Theory and the Gay and Lesbian Movement (Cambridge University Press, 2001) and American Politicians Confront the Court: Opposition Politics and Changing Responses to Judicial Power (Cambridge University Press, 2011). Professor Engel is currently working on a new book which examines sexuality from a developmental perspective and which aims to shed light on how US governing institutions define the parameters of sexual citizenship and how that process reflexively affects the development of the state.
Sponsored by the Department of Government & Legal Studies with support from the John C. Donovan Lecture Fund. Co-sponsored by the Gay and Lesbian Studies Program, and The Resource Center for Sexual and Gender Diversity.
Free and open to the public.

NEW YORK (AP) — Sunday was a busy night for television, although not necessarily broadcast TV.
The Nielsen company said that AMC's "The Walking Dead" was seen by 12.42 million people, while the conclusion of History's miniseries "The Bible" reached 11.75 million viewers. That means zombies were slightly more popular than biblical figures on Sunday.
Once television's most dominant forces, the Thursday edition of "American Idol" finished outside of television's top 10. Fox slipped to fourth in the week's ratings. NBC was led into third by the return of "The Voice."

Jeremy Rutherford wrote:The Blues are sending Patrik Berglund a wake-up call tonight, making him a healthy scratch in only the fourth game of the season.
Berglund has averaged 11:37 of ice time in the first three games. He has one goal, no assists and he's a minus-2. But it's not Berglund's lack of point production as much it is his overall infectiveness that's taking him out of the lineup. He doesn't play with the aggressiveness and the simplicity, making the easy pass, that you'd expect. When he fell into this rut last year, it was attributed to Berglund's first time playing an 82-game NHL season. But three games into the season, stamina is no longer an excuse.
So here are the lines tonight with Berglund out . . .
Andy McDonald-David Backes-Paul Kariya
Brad Winchester-Keith Tkachuk-Brad Boyes
David Perron-T.J. Oshie-Cam Janssen
Alex Steen-Jay McClement-B.J. Crombeen
A couple of notes regarding the forwards:
- Kariya is playing on the right wing, rather than the left side. He's played on the right side in the past and some believe he looked better on the right.
- Backes has no points through three games. The rap on Backes is that he's a notorious slow starter, but Murray said today that it's too early to say the trend has continued again this season.
- The last two years, we've heard that Tkachuk was going to play a lesser role . . . that he would play on the third and fourth lines. Three games into the season, he leads the team in points (6) and he's playing on a line with Brad Boyes.
- Perhaps the most interesting part of tonight's game for me will be watching Oshie play center. He played a lot of center in college and projected to be a center in the NHL. It'll be fun to watch him skate and get into some of the dirty puck battles behind his own net.
- Janssen is playing on a skilled line with Perron and Oshie. Murray did this last year, too. He plays his enforcer on a skill line, but he doesn't send him out for every shift. One of the other forwards will double-shift in Janssen's spot.
- Janssen would probably prefer to play on a grinder line so that he can play his regular game, but by putting him on a skill line, the Blues are able to keep their defensive stopper unit together and have a bit of an offensive threat all each of their other three lines.
The success of the Blues' stopper unit has been well documented, following its success against the Detroit Red Wings. Well, the unit will have its work cut out tonight.
The Los Angeles Kings have scored 15 goals in three games, and they have one of the hottest lines in the league currently.
Ryan Smyth-Anze Kopitar-Justin Williams have 18 points in three games: Kopitar (3 goals, 5 assists), Smyth (3 goals, 3 assists) and Williams (1 goal, 3 assists).
Here's the rest of the Kings' lines . . .
Teddy Purcell-Jarret Stoll-Dustin Brown
Alexander Frolov-Michal Handzus-Wayne Simmonds
Raitis Ivanans-Brad Richardson-Peter Harrold
D pairings
Sean O'Donnell-Drew Doughty
Jack Johnson-Rob Scuderi
David Drewiske-Matt Greene
Jonathan Quick
One area in which the Blues want to be better tonight: face-offs. After three games, the club ranks 27th in the league in face-offs, winning just 43.2 percent of their draws. The league-high is San Jose, which has won 58.5 percent of its draws.
Here's the Blues' breakdown:
Jay McClement: 22 wins, 29 losses (43.1 percent)
Keith Tkachuk: 23-21 (52.3 percent)
David Backes: 9-14 (39.1 percent)
Patrik Berglund: 8-10 (44.4 percent)
Andy McDonald: 5-11 (31.2 percent)
Brad Boyes: 7-4 (63.6 percent)
T.J. Oshie: 0-8 (0 percent)
Alex Steen: 2-2 (50 percent)
Brad Winchester: 0-1 (0 percent)
McClement on face-offs: "I've struggled. The second game against Detroit, I was really bad. I think personally I just have to bear down more, and the rest of the guys, I'm sure it's the same way. As centermen, we need as much help as we can get . . . with our wingers winning the pucks that are up for grabs. I guess that's the biggest thing . . .when you're struggline, just try not to lose it clean and make sure you keep the puck in there. Tie (the opponent) up and give some time for help."
Blues defensive pairings:
Darryl Sydor-Roman Polak
Erik Johnson-Alex Pietrangelo
Carlo Colaiacovo-Mike Weaver
- Tyson Strachan has been recalled from Peoria but with be a healthy scratch tonight.
- Johnson played more than 25 minutes on Thursday, but Murray said today that he expects Johnson's minutes to be more in line with the other defensemen tonight. Part of the reason for Johnson's increased minutes Thursday was that the Blues were trailing late in the game and the Blues were looking for offense from Johnson.
- I owe defenseman Mike Weaver an apology. I mentioned in Friday's article that he was out of position on Atlanta's first goal. The goal was scored because of a misplay by Carlo Colaiacovo and because T.J. Oshie didn't stick with his man in front of the net.
Chris Mason will be in goal tonight.

quote:I haven't played NCAA since the '10 title, but would like to know if they brought back situational subs. I like to use different RB's but it was a pain having to go through and adjust the depth chart every time I wanted to bring in a different back for a play. I also liked being able to switch the receivers on a certain play. They allowed that in I think '08, but not '10.

A friend from Massachusetts emailed me this morning to tell me about his young daughter.
Ella just turned six and is a darling little girl. As the mother of three sons (no daughters) and the sister to three brothers, I do have an affinity for stories about daughters.
They watched one of the Harry Potter movies the other night and now Ella wrestles with "bad thoughts" as she tries to go to sleep at night.
Her daddy used the age-old "let's think about something else" trick. He cleverly turned her throughts to their upcoming trip to Holiday World. They've not been here before, so they couldn't rely on memories but instead turned to their imaginations to dream up ideas about what might be here.
One of Ella's ideas was, "There should be big snowflakes that you swing back and forth on!" She was on the right track, happily drifting toward dreamland.
This all screeched to a halt when she remembered we also have a Halloween section.
The Halloween holiday can be scary.
Spooky stuff.
My mom always loved the creepy side of Halloween; she used to take my brothers and me on nightly "Witch Walks" each October. At dusk we'd skulk about our neighborhood, telling ghost stories. We'd dash from lightpost to behind trees to keep the "witch" from catching us. My brothers reveled in the thrill. Scared me half to death. So, I'm with you, Ella!
And to quell your fears a bit, take a look here at HallowSwings, which we added a few years ago.
When our graphic artist and our marketing department were working on the graphic design for this ride, Mrs. Koch brought up an interesting question: "Will the design be scary-scary or friendly-scary? I don't think we should terrify the smaller children."
The resulting design makes me laugh every time I walk by HallowSwings …
Don't worry, Ella. At Holiday World, even the skulls are happy!

As I said before, I've provided the link to the spreadsheet below the image. It is not fabricated, it came from the Australian Government. If the gov't if fabricating statistics then there is a more serious problem going on.
But I agree, you cannot look at the stats and say the gun control has or has not been effective. There simply is no proof that gun control provides the desired effect.
You trust the Australian government more than I do, it seems.
However, one can simply turn to the drug culture or "the war on drugs" to evaluate the effect that criminalizing something has on society.
Is your point here that there is no point in criminalizing something that people are just gonna do anyway?
at1with0 wrote:Sexual assault and kidnapping and robbery and homicide has to be subdivided into two categories (at least): those involving guns and those not involving guns.
This is where I disagree and the crux of my argument; a crime is a crime whether committed with a gun or not. If you take away the guns that is fine, but if people continue to kill or rob or whatever, what is the difference it is done with a gun or not? In the grand scheme of things, nothing would have really been solved.
I think analyzing the data to study the effectiveness of gun control, one HAS to subdivide the data into at least two categories, crimes committed with a gun and without. The difference between crimes with guns and crimes without using guns is going to be the only thing that would prove or disprove the effectiveness of gun control. As it is, the spreadsheet is useless in its inconclusiveness.

Yes, I'm aware of the efforts to parse the coal picture into segments by the rail industry at Railway Interchange 2013 in Indianapolis. The struggling and wobbly (and informal) industry consensus: Appalachian coal was on the figurative ropes, but Western coal still had a shot due to easier access, great rail supply lines, and a ready Asian market. And let's face it: Coal's share of North American freight carload traffic volume remains unmatched, even with coal production at its lowest level in 20 years.
But in addressing the Railway Interchange 2013 audience, analyst Anthony B. Hatch warned against long-term optimism even in this, suggesting intermodal (domestic and international) was the true growth segment. As well, Railway Age Contributing Editor Bruce Kelly continues to monitor the growing struggle in the Pacific Northwest as Class I railroads BNSF, UP, and CN scramble to improve port access and shipment speeds, while Ectopia's powerful green groups reflexively question the economic benefits, efficacy, and environmental impact such coal shipments deliver to the region.
The big problem, in a nutshell, is not in finding the presumably willing and ready Asian markets, even assuming China's embarrassing public relations problem with cut-with-a-knife air pollution doesn't trigger any change in that nation's energy policy. The problem facing U.S. coal companies, and the railroads moving their commodity, is and will be delivering the product in the first place.
But (some might object) California locales aren't the port prize for export coal; the Pacific Northwest—Oregon, Washington, and British Columbia—are the beckoning locales. And port agencies are putting out the welcome signs. What dark clouds?
Comes the formal announcement this week that British Columbia and three states—including California—have announced an alliance involving climate change, and will seek joint efforts to reduce the amount and cost of carbon emissions. Obviously, that includes the movement of coal through the region.
It's true that Washington and Oregon, at the moment, are the "soft" partners in the deal, not quite as politically committed to specific goals as their larger territorial neighbors north and south. Resistance here, at least in the short term, may not be futile. So it's fair to say the cake is not fully baked, and that internal political pressure in both states could delay or squash carbon-reduction measures.
If I'm sitting in the Class I executive suite in Calgary, Fort Worth, Montreal, Omaha, or even Kansas City, I wouldn't count on that. I'd consider California's clout with all due seriousness—and California isn't showing signs of backing down. Moreover, California's energy charge already has spanned normal partisan divides, so pinning coal's hopes on any future occupant in Sacramento's executive chair is a long shot, at best.
Comedian Bill Maher recently posited that California decision-making leads the way for the rest of the U.S. and, like it or not, the U.S. eventually would have to "kneel before Zod" (a Superman reference). California, he said, is "huge—the 12th largest economy in the world, the fifth largest agricultural exporter in the world," and adding a third salacious example I'll edit out for this post. "There's 40 million of us—so, for example, when California set a high mileage standard for any car sold in this state, Detroit had to make more fuel-efficient cars; we're just too big a slice of the market, and it would be too expensive to make one car for us, and another for [others] who want something that runs on coal."
If quick quips from my fellow native Jersey guy aren't persuasive, let's look for supporting evidence behind them. The Golden State's trendsetting role should be undisputed by now, even within the rail industry. Which state launched the first modern U.S. light rail transit line? Check. Which state has more LRT systems than any other? Yup. Which state has the best chance to implement true high speed rail (using a lot of its own money, to boot)? That's right. Which state has not just the largest but the two largest ports, served early on by robust on-dock rail? Correct. And which state has smoothly adjusted to Tier III and Tier IV Environmental Protection Agency standards for locomotives, again often using a lot of its own funding? Not New Jersey, I can tell you that.
And that's just the rail-related stuff; expand the transport horizons to automobile development (Tesla, anyone?) and fuel efficiency standards and, well, the idea should be pretty apparent by now.
I could cite statistics from other Wall Street analysts (besides Tony Hatch, whose comments at Railway Interchange 2013 generated serious and often clearly visible discomfort among many in his audience). I could and perhaps should offer analysis from financial publications, or the Union of Concerned Scientists (for those interested in the science as well as the finance, or the politics). Perhaps in a future blog I will.
But for now, here's the catalyst, the change agent, still overlooked despite its impressive track record to implement change: California.
I'm hardly holier than thou in this matter. I myself willingly harvest and use at least one carbon-based fuel, firewood, which I'm sure adds to U.S. carbon emissions, if only for brief duration and limited geographic reach. My primary residence, now heated by natural gas, still uses electricity that, in part, comes from a PSE&G coal plant in Jersey City. My place also has the remnants of a coal chute, something absolutely mandatory for keeping the place (and its inhabitants) warm 116 years ago.
But it's no longer 1897; it's not even 1997. It's a different world, and a different U.S. environment, like it or not (and it's obvious plenty of people don't like it). Credit or blame California (or do both). But you bet against California's clout at your own risk.
And, unlike some large states suggesting they can go it alone without their fellow states (there's a word for that in my personal dictionary: treason), California, much more benignly, repeatedly has made it clear it's more than willing to wait for its fellow U.S. counterparts to catch up. Right or wrong, I suspect we will.

Board seeks answers about cycling event
The UCI World Road Cycling Championships will take place in the Richmond region three years from this week, but Henrico County officials need more information before formally committing to climb aboard for the ride. Officials from Richmond 2015 – the nonprofit organization that will host the nine-day international event – asked Henrico's Board of Supervisors during a Sept. 11 work session to contribute a total of $1.4 million to the championships during the next three years. But supervisors and County Manager Virgil Hazelett, while pledging support for the event in general terms, bristled at the request because it lacked the specifics they were expecting. "It is clear to me that we do not have sufficient information," Hazelett said. "My main concern is the cost. I don't have a comfort level yet in what's going to happen." Richmond 2015 has established a budget of $21.4 million, its CEO, William Flohr, told the board. The City of Richmond has committed a $2 million contribution, he said, and presentations to officials in Hanover and Chesterfield counties followed the visit to Henrico. The organization arrived at its $1.4 million request of Henrico by following the regional funding format that was used for the Greater Richmond Convention Center, to which Richmond contributed 50 percent, Henrico 35 percent, Chesterfield 13 percent and Hanover 2 percent. Board 'disappointed' in approach But it was clear during last week's work session that at least some county officials felt slighted by the organization's decision to approach them now to assist with an event that may have quickly outgrown its original scope – and by the implication among some in the public that the county was not being a regional partner. During a steady and pointed line of questioning, Brookland District Supervisor and board chairman Dick Glover expressed as much, suggesting that Richmond 2015 officials had dropped the ball by waiting more than 18 months to meet with the full Henrico board. He implied that if the organization had involved Henrico from the beginning (in late 2010), the county would have felt more like a true partner and less like a bank account. "I am very disappointed that this is almost two years after [the process began] that the Board of Supervisors of Henrico County has been approached," Glover said. "I feel like you've left us out of the picture, and now you're coming to us with not enough information." Varina District Supervisor Tyrone Nelson was similarly unimpressed. "You came to us and gave us nothing today," Nelson told the organization's contingent. "I think it's a healthy promotion for our region, but you're asking us to spend a million and a half dollars that are not in our budget. We each have capital improvement projects [awaiting funding] in our districts, and I've got people in my district ready to shoot me because we don't have a new school yet." Nelson also suggested that if the county were to donate the requested $1.4 million, it should receive more than just one of the 12 races scheduled for the nine-day event – particularly if Richmond's $2 million donation is enough to earn it nine races. (Hanover and Chesterfield also would receive one race each by contributing to the event, Richmond 2015 organizers said.) Flohr, who joined Richmond 2015 in April, conceded that the organization might have done some things differently before his arrival, in retrospect. "It perhaps should have been a regional effort," he said, "and we're trying to make it into a regional effort now." Economic impact debated Henrico stands to realize a $42 million economic benefit from the event, Flohr said; some 450,000 spectators are expected to attend the races. Flohr told the board that Henrico would receive an additional $832,000 in hotel and lodging taxes during the nine-day period, but Hazelett questioned his math, saying that the county typically receives about that much during the month of September, when the occupancy rate is about 60 percent. "We can't double that [amount] in nine days with only 40 percent vacancy available," Hazelett said. The race proposed for Henrico is the initial time trial for men and women, which might begin in Short Pump and travel east to its conclusion in the city. That race would be televised live on a national network, Flohr said. But though Henrico would receive commercials during the broadcast and the opportunity for other exposure, Flohr could provide no specific details. The organization must purchase TV time from a network and has not yet completed the negotiation process, he said. Tuckahoe District Supervisor Pat O'Bannon told Flohr that the board would need to see a specific list of the benefits it would receive for a $1.4 million donation before determining how to proceed. Hazelett expressed serious concerns about the costs associated with heavy police and security needed to protect the 1,000 cyclists – some of whom will represent nations with volatile political climates – as well as spectators and citizens. Those costs, combined with shutting down more than 60 intersections for the race, could total nearly $500,000, Hazelett said – money that he said should be deducted from any donation Henrico makes. To date, Richmond 2015 has financial commitments from five corporate partners totaling more than $2 million, but Flohr declined to name those companies. He promised Hazelett and the board that he would have specific details and answers to their questions by the first week of October, however. The UCI event, which began in 1927 and has been held annually since (except for a seven-year period during World War II), will be held in The Netherlands this year, Italy next year and Spain in 2014. The United States has hosted it only once, in Colorado Springs in 1986. |

Friday 8 March 2013
Windows 8 users can shut down their computer without touching their mouse, screen or keyboard, it has been claimed.
Writing for PC Advisor, Jim Martin said that through a simple configuration process, users can set their computer up to shut down using the power button.
He explained that, first of all, you need to type 'control panel' into the start screen, and then type 'power' into the search box which appears.
Under power options, select 'change what the power buttons do', and change the default setting on the 'when I press the power button option'.
This will initially be set up to send the computer to sleep, Mr Martin noted.
"Now, instead of using your mouse to shut down your computer, you can quickly press the power button to achieve the same thing," he stated.
"Of course, if you're happy to leave your PC in sleep mode, you don't need to configure anything at all. Simply get into the habit of pressing your PC's power button instead of clicking through the Charms bar for the same option within Windows 8."

Thursday, May 2, 2013
NEW WILMINGTON, Pa. - Five students from Westminster College's Language in Motion program gave presentations at Wilmington Area Middle School April 18-19.
Drawing on their international travel and study abroad experiences, the Westminster students took more than 100 fifth-graders on the second annual "trip around the world." The Westminster students included:
- Meghan Blumer, a junior Spanish major, brought her audience to Chile through a presentation on its geography, history, language and culture. Blumer is a daughter of Michael and Kathy Blumer of Wexford and a graduate of Pine-Richland High School.
- Ariana Carr, a sophomore early childhood/special education major, gave a presentation exploring Brazilian culture through literature and dance. Carr is a daughter of David and Barbara Carr of Pulaski and a graduate of Wilmington Area High School.
- Patrick Dever, a senior international business major with a minor in Spanish, brought the class to Peru with a presentation based on his travels in that country. Dever is a son of Leon Dever and Carolyn Nichols of Salt Lake City, Utah, and a graduate of Highland High School.
- Hillary Leslie, a junior English major, gave a presentation on Scotland and the United Kingdom, emphasizing the differences between British and American culture. Leslie is a daughter of Laurie Leslie and Michael Leslie, New Wilmington, and a graduate of Wilmington Area High School.
- Sydney Spain, a senior Spanish major and mathematics minor, gave her audience insight into the ancient Mayans and their contemporary descendants. Spain is a daughter of Thomas and Pamela Spain of Batavia, Ill., and a graduate of Batavia High School.
Language in Motion is coordinated by Milagros Swerdlow, Westminster Spanish lecturer. The presentations were the result of collaboration between the Language in Motion program and the school district's fifth-grade teachers: Mrs. Domalik, Mrs. Gill, Mrs. Moore, Ms. Shaw and Ms. Watson.
Language in Motion, in its seventh year at Westminster, is an innovative outreach program that gives study-abroad returnees, international students, and upper-level language students the opportunity to create language and cultural activities for presentation in K-12 language, social studies, and other classes where culture can be studied.
Westminster's Language in Motion program is sponsored by Westminster's Department of Modern Languages and the Heritage Chair of Humanities.
Contact Swerdlow at (724) 946-7264 or email for more information.

About Me Casual Do-It-Yourselfer
I always wear this whistle along with a headlamp or flashlight during severe weather. Since the destruction of the EF5 tornados of Moore, AK 2013, Joplin, MO 2011 and my own homestate of Alabama in 2011, I hope this whistle would help rescuers find me if needed. I also plan to wear this when hiking, skiing or any backcountry activity; I just feel safer knowing I could alert someone to my whereabouts if needed with little effort.

makes a great personal alarm
By Walk for health
from Jefferson City, MO
I bought two of these whistles for myself and my mother to use, because we walk outdoors for exercise. Nowadays, no one is safe outside. We like to walk in the early morning hours in the summer, before the sun comes up.These whistles don't require alot of lung power in order to blow them, unlike coaching whistles. Also, they are very loud, therefore if you need to summon help, someone will hear you. This is a great product for the elderly, young children or anymore with lung problems to use.
