Preliminary Psychometric Properties of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire-II: A Revised Measure of Psychological Inflexibility and Experiential AvoidanceFrank W. Bond | Steven C. Hayes | Ruth A. Baer | Kenneth M. Carpenter | Nigel Guenole | Holly K. Orcutt | Tom Waltz | Robert D. Zettle
Volume 42, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 676-688
The present research describes the development and psychometric evaluation of a second version of the Acceptance and Action Questionnaire (AAQ-II), which assesses the construct referred to as, variously, acceptance, experiential avoidance, and psychological inflexibility. Results from 2,816 participants across six samples indicate the satisfactory structure, reliability, and validity of this measure. For example, the mean alpha coefficient is .84 (.78-.88), and the 3- and 12-month test-retest reliability is .81 and .79, respectively. Results indicate that AAQ-II scores concurrently, longitudinally, and incrementally predict a range of outcomes, from mental health to work absence rates, that are consistent with its underlying theory. The AAQ-II also demonstrates appropriate discriminant validity. The AAQ-II appears to measure the same concept as the AAQ-I (r=.97) but with better psychometric consistency. © 2011.
Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders: A Randomized Controlled TrialTodd J. Farchione | Christopher P. Fairholme | Kristen K. Ellard | Christina L. Boisseau | Johanna Thompson-Hollands | Jenna R. Carl | Matthew W. Gallagher | David H. Barlow

This study further evaluates the efficacy of the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP). A diagnostically heterogeneous clinical sample of 37 patients with a principal anxiety disorder diagnosis was enrolled in a randomized controlled trial (RCT) involving up to 18 sessions of treatment and a 6-month follow-up period. Patients were randomly assigned to receive either immediate treatment with the UP (n=26) or delayed treatment, following a 16-week wait-list control period (WLC; n=11). The UP resulted in significant improvement on measures of clinical severity, general symptoms of depression and anxiety, levels of negative and positive affect, and a measure of symptom interference in daily functioning across diagnoses. In comparison, participants in the WLC condition exhibited little to no change following the 16-week wait-list period. The effects of UP treatment were maintained over the 6-month follow-up period. Results from this RCT provide additional evidence for the efficacy of the UP in the treatment of anxiety and comorbid depressive disorders, and provide additional support for a transdiagnostic approach to the treatment of emotional disorders. © 2012 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
Combining Nonoverlap and Trend for Single-Case Research: Tau-URichard I. Parker | Kimberly J. Vannest | John L. Davis | Stephanie B. Sauber
Volume 42, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 284-299
A new index for analysis of single-case research data was proposed, Tau-U, which combines nonoverlap between phases with trend from within the intervention phase. In addition, it provides the option of controlling undesirable Phase A trend. The derivation of Tau-U from Kendall's Rank Correlation and the Mann-Whitney U test between groups is demonstrated. The equivalence of trend and nonoverlap is also shown, with supportive citations from field leaders. Tau-U calculations are demonstrated for simple AB and ABA designs. Tau-U is then field tested on a sample of 382 published data series. Controlling undesirable Phase A trend caused only a modest change from nonoverlap. The inclusion of Phase B trend yielded more modest results than simple nonoverlap. The Tau-U score distribution did not show the artificial ceiling shown by all other nonoverlap techniques. It performed reasonably well with autocorrelated data. Tau-U shows promise for single-case applications, but further study is desirable. © 2011.
Efficacy of Attention Bias Modification Using Threat and Appetitive Stimuli: A Meta-Analytic ReviewCourtney Beard | Alice T. Sawyer | Stefan G. Hofmann
Volume 43, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 724-740
Attention bias modification (ABM) protocols aim to modify attentional biases underlying many forms of pathology. Our objective was to conduct an effect size analysis of ABM across a wide range of samples and psychological problems. We conducted a literature search using PubMed, PsycInfo, and author searches to identify randomized studies that examined the effects of ABM on attention and subjective experiences. We identified 37 studies (41 experiments) totaling 2,135 participants who were randomized to training toward neutral, positive, threat, or appetitive stimuli or to a control condition. The effect size estimate for changes in attentional bias was large for the neutral versus threat comparisons (g=1.06), neutral versus appetitive (g=1.41), and neutral versus control comparisons (g=0.80), and small for positive versus control (g=0.24). The effects of ABM on attention bias were moderated by stimulus type (words vs. pictures) and sample characteristics (healthy vs. high symptomatology). Effect sizes of ABM on subjective experiences ranged from 0.03 to 0.60 for postchallenge outcomes, -0.31 to 0.51 for posttreatment, and were moderated by number of training sessions, stimulus type, and stimulus orientation (top/bottom vs. left/right). Fail-safe N calculations suggested that the effect size estimates were robust for the training effects on attentional biases, but not for the effect on subjective experiences. ABM studies using threat stimuli produced significant effects on attention bias across comparison conditions, whereas appetitive stimuli produced changes in attention only when comparing appetitive versus neutral conditions. ABM has a moderate and robust effect on attention bias when using threat stimuli. Further studies are needed to determine whether these effects are also robust when using appetitive stimuli and for affecting subjective experiences. © 2012.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Contextual Behavioral Science: Examining the Progress of a Distinctive Model of Behavioral and Cognitive TherapySteven C. Hayes | Michael E. Levin | Jennifer Plumb-Vilardaga | Jennifer L. Villatte | Jacqueline Pistorello
Volume 44, Issue 2, June 2013, Pages 180-198
A number of recent authors have compared acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) and traditional cognitive behavior therapy (CBT). The present article describes ACT as a distinct and unified model of behavior change, linked to a specific strategy of scientific development, which we term "contextual behavioral science." We outline the empirical progress of ACT and describe its distinctive development strategy. A contextual behavioral science approach is an inductive attempt to build more adequate psychological systems based on philosophical clarity; the development of basic principles and theories; the development of applied theories linked to basic ones; techniques and components linked to these processes and principles; measurement of theoretically key processes; an emphasis on mediation and moderation in the analysis of applied impact; an interest in effectiveness, dissemination, and training; empirical testing of the research program across a broad range of areas and levels of analysis; and the creation of a more effective scientific and clinical community. We argue that this is a reasonable approach, focused on long-term progress, and that in broad terms it seems to be working. ACT is not hostile to traditional CBT, and is not directly buoyed by whatever weaknesses traditional CBT may have. ACT should be measured at least in part against its own goals as specified by its own developmental strategy. © 2011 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
To Be Sure, To Be Sure: Intolerance of Uncertainty Mediates Symptoms of Various Anxiety Disorders and DepressionPeter M. McEvoy | Alison E J Mahoney
Volume 43, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 533-545
The Intolerance of Uncertainty Model was initially developed as an explanation for worry within the context of generalized anxiety disorder. However, recent research has identified intolerance of uncertainty (IU) as a possible transdiagnostic maintaining factor across the anxiety disorders and depression. The aim of this study was to determine whether IU mediated the relationship between neuroticism and symptoms related to various anxiety disorders and depression in a treatment-seeking sample (N=328). Consistent with previous research, IU was significantly associated with neuroticism as well as with symptoms of social phobia, panic disorder and agoraphobia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, generalized anxiety disorder, and depression. Moreover, IU explained unique variance in these symptom measures when controlling for neuroticism. Mediational analyses showed that IU was a significant partial mediator between neuroticism and all symptom measures, even when controlling for symptoms of other disorders. More specifically, anxiety in anticipation of future uncertainty (prospective anxiety) partially mediated the relationship between neuroticism and symptoms of generalized anxiety disorder (i.e. worry) and obsessive-compulsive disorder, whereas inaction in the face of uncertainty (inhibitory anxiety) partially mediated the relationship between neuroticism and symptoms of social anxiety, panic disorder and agoraphobia, and depression. Sobel's test demonstrated that all hypothesized meditational pathways were associated with significant indirect effects, although the mediation effect was stronger for worry than other symptoms. Potential implications of these findings for the treatment of anxiety disorders and depression are discussed. © 2011 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
The Impact of Treatment Components Suggested by the Psychological Flexibility Model: A Meta-Analysis of Laboratory-Based Component StudiesMichael E. Levin | Mikaela J. Hildebrandt | Jason Lillis | Steven C. Hayes
Volume 43, Issue 4, December 2012, Pages 741-756
An important aspect of psychotherapy research is the examination of the theoretical models underlying intervention approaches. Laboratory-based component research is one useful methodology for this endeavor as it provides an experimental means of testing questions related to intervention components and the change process they engage with a high level of control and precision. A meta-analysis was conducted of 66 laboratory-based component studies evaluating treatment elements and processes that are suggested by the psychological flexibility model that underlies Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (acceptance, defusion, self as context, committed action, values, and present moment), but also touches on a variety of contextual forms of cognitive behavior therapy. Significant positive effect sizes were observed for acceptance, defusion, present moment, values, mixed mindfulness components, and values plus mindfulness component conditions compared to inactive comparison conditions. Additional analyses provided further support for the psychological flexibility model, finding larger effect sizes for theoretically specified outcomes, expected differences between theoretically distinct interventions, and larger effect sizes for component conditions that included experiential methods (e.g., metaphors, exercises) than those with a rationale alone. Effect sizes did not differ between at-risk/distressed and convenience samples. Limitations with the meta-analysis and future directions for laboratory-based component research are discussed. © 2012.
Exposure Therapy for PTSD Delivered to Veterans via Telehealth: Predictors of Treatment Completion and Outcome and Comparison to Treatment Delivered in PersonDaniel F. Gros | Matthew Yoder | Peter W. Tuerk | Brian E. Lozano | Ron Acierno
Volume 42, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 276-283
Recent research has focused on the effectiveness of evidence-based psychotherapy delivered via telehealth services. Unfortunately to date, the majority of studies employ very small samples and limited predictor and moderator variables. To address these concerns and further replicate and extend the literature on telehealth, the present study investigated the effectiveness of 12-session exposure therapy delivered either via telehealth (n= 62) or in person (n= 27) in veterans with posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Findings demonstrated that although older veterans and Vietnam veterans were more likely to complete the telehealth treatment, telehealth findings were not influenced by patient age, sex, race, combat theater, or disability status. Exposure therapy delivered via telehealth was effective in reducing the symptoms of PTSD, anxiety, depression, stress, and general impairment with large effect sizes. Interestingly, exposure therapy via telehealth was less effective than exposure therapy delivered in person; however, lack of random assignment to condition limits conclusions of differential effectiveness. Overall, these findings support the utility of telehealth services to provide effective, evidence-based psychotherapies. © 2011.
Does Acceptance and Relationship Focused Behavior Therapy Contribute to Bupropion Outcomes? A Randomized Controlled Trial of Functional Analytic Psychotherapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Smoking CessationElizabeth V. Gifford | Barbara S. Kohlenberg | Steven C. Hayes | Heather M. Pierson | Melissa P. Piasecki | David O. Antonuccio | Kathleen M. Palm
Volume 42, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 700-715
This study evaluated a treatment combining bupropion with a novel acceptance and relationship focused behavioral intervention based on the acceptance and relationship context (ARC) model. Three hundred and three smokers from a community sample were randomly assigned to bupropion, a widely used smoking cessation medication, or bupropion plus functional analytic psychotherapy (FAP) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT). Objective measures of smoking outcomes and self-report measures of acceptance and relationship processes were taken at pretreatment, posttreatment, 6-month, and 1-year follow-up. The combined treatment was significantly better than bupropion alone at 1-year follow-up with 7-day point prevalence quit rates of 31.6% in the combined condition versus 17.5% in the medication-alone condition. Acceptance and the therapeutic relationship at posttreatment statistically mediated 12-month outcomes. Bupropion outcomes were enhanced with an acceptance and relationship focused behavioral treatment. © 2011.
A Pilot Study of the DBT Coach: An Interactive Mobile Phone Application for Individuals With Borderline Personality Disorder and Substance Use DisorderShireen L. Rizvi | Linda A. Dimeff | Julie Skutch | David Carroll | Marsha M. Linehan
Volume 42, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 589-600
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) has received strong empirical support and is practiced widely as a treatment for borderline personality disorder (BPD) and BPD with comorbid substance use disorders (BPD-SUD). Therapeutic success in DBT requires that individuals generalize newly acquired skills to their natural environment. However, there have been only a limited number of options available to achieve this end. The primary goal of this research was to develop and test the feasibility of the DBT Coach, a software application for a smartphone, designed specifically to enhance generalization of a specific DBT skill (opposite action) among individuals with BPD-SUD. We conducted a quasiexperimental study in which 22 individuals who were enrolled in DBT treatment programs received a smartphone with the DBT Coach for 10 to 14. days and were instructed to use it as needed. Participants used the DBT Coach an average of nearly 15 times and gave high ratings of helpfulness and usability. Results indicate that both emotion intensity and urges to use substances significantly decreased within each coaching session. Furthermore, over the trial period, participants reported a decrease in depression and general distress. Mobile technology offering in vivo skills coaching may be a useful tool for reducing urges to use substances and engage in other maladaptive behavior by directly teaching and coaching in alternative, adaptive coping behavior. © 2011.
Prospective Prediction of Nonsuicidal Self-Injury: A 1-Year Longitudinal Study in Young AdultsCatherine R. Glenn | E. David Klonsky
Volume 42, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 751-762
Nonsuicidal self-injury (NSSI) has become a significant public health problem. Although numerous studies have examined cross-sectional psychological correlates of NSSI, there has been little research examining predictors of NSSI over time. The present study examined cross-sectional and longitudinal correlates of NSSI in 81 young adult self-injurers (M age. =19, 74.1% female, 51.9% Caucasian), 51 of whom were followed up 1. year later. At baseline, participants completed self-report measures of NSSI, Axis-I disorders, borderline personality disorder (BPD), and impulsivity, as well as an implicit measure of NSSI attitudes and identity. One year later, participants completed a Timeline Followback Method whereby they indicated their engagement in NSSI over the previous 12. months. Analyses replicated many known cross-sectional correlates of NSSI, including symptoms of several Axis-I disorders and BPD. However, many of these same variables failed to predict the course of NSSI over the 1-year follow-up. The only variables to prospectively predict NSSI were past NSSI (i.e., frequency, methods, and recency of NSSI), participants' behavioral forecast of their engagement in future NSSI, and BPD features. Findings suggest that many cross-sectional correlates of NSSI may not be useful for predicting subsequent NSSI. Instead, NSSI severity and BPD features appear to best predict continued engagement in NSSI. © 2011.
Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy Improves Emotional Reactivity to Social Stress: Results from a Randomized Controlled TrialWilloughby B. Britton | Ben Shahar | Ohad Szepsenwol | W. Jake Jacobs
Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 365-380
The high likelihood of recurrence in depression is linked to a progressive increase in emotional reactivity to stress (stress sensitization). Mindfulness-based therapies teach mindfulness skills designed to decrease emotional reactivity in the face of negative affect-producing stressors. The primary aim of the current study was to assess whether Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) is efficacious in reducing emotional reactivity to social evaluative threat in a clinical sample with recurrent depression. A secondary aim was to assess whether improvement in emotional reactivity mediates improvements in depressive symptoms. Fifty-two individuals with partially remitted depression were randomized into an 8-week MBCT course or a waitlist control condition. All participants underwent the Trier Social Stress Test (TSST) before and after the 8-week trial period. Emotional reactivity to stress was assessed with the Spielberger State Anxiety Inventory at several time points before, during, and after the stressor. MBCT was associated with decreased emotional reactivity to social stress, specifically during the recovery (post-stressor) phase of the TSST. Waitlist controls showed an increase in anticipatory (pre-stressor) anxiety that was absent in the MBCT group. Improvements in emotional reactivity partially mediated improvements in depressive symptoms. Limitations include small sample size, lack of objective or treatment adherence measures, and non-generalizability to more severely depressed populations. Given that emotional reactivity to stress is an important psychopathological process underlying the chronic and recurrent nature of depression, these findings suggest that mindfulness skills are important in adaptive emotion regulation when coping with stress. © 2011.
A Randomized Clinical Trial of Transdiagnostic Cognitve-Behavioral Treatments for Anxiety Disorder by Comparison to Relaxation TrainingPeter J. Norton
Volume 43, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 506-517
Transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral treatments (CBT) for anxiety disorders have been gaining increased attention and empirical study in recent years. Despite this, all of the research on transdiagnostic anxiety treatments to date have either not used a control condition, or have relied on no-treatment or delayed-treatment controls, thus limiting inferences about comparative efficacy. The current study was a randomized clinical trial examining the efficacy of a 12-week transdiagnostic cognitive-behavioral group treatment in comparison to a 12-week comprehensive relaxation training program. Results from 87 treatment initiators suggested significant and statistically equivalent/noninferior outcomes across conditions, although relaxation was associated with a greater rate of dropout despite no differences in treatment credibility. No evidence was found for any differential effects of transdiagnostic CBT for any primary or comorbid diagnoses. © 2011 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
Changes in Ecological Momentary Assessment Reported Affect Associated With Episodes of Nonsuicidal Self-InjuryMichael F. Armey | Janis H. Crowther | Ivan W. Miller
Volume 42, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 579-588
Although emotion regulation deficits have been frequently implicated in the incidence of nonsuicidal self-injurious behavior (NSSI), no research to date has examined in vivo change of affect associated with real-world NSSI behavior. The present study employed Ecological Momentary Assessment (EMA) to assess change in affect associated with episodes of experienced NSSI in a sample of 36 college students with a self-reported history of NSSI. Results indicated that individuals who reported NSSI behavior over the course of the study experienced increases in negative affect prior to an episode of NSSI that peaked during the episode and faded gradually in the hours following the episode, with affect change roughly approximating a quadratic curve. These changes in affect were detected only at times in which individuals engaged in NSSI and were absent for individuals who did not report NSSI over the course of the study. Moreover, changes in negative affect associated with NSSI were, on average, detectable hours prior to the NSSI event. These findings suggest that episodes of NSSI may be predicted through a careful examination of affect change long before actual NSSI behavior occurs. © 2011.
The Science of Cognitive TherapyStefan G. Hofmann | Gordon J G Asmundson | Aaron T. Beck
Volume 44, Issue 2, June 2013, Pages 199-212
Cognitive therapy (CT) refers to a family of interventions and a general scientific approach to psychological disorders. This family has evolved from a specific treatment model into a scientific approach that incorporates a wide variety of disorder-specific interventions and treatment techniques. The goal of this article is to describe the scientific approach of CT, review the efficacy and validity of the CT model, and exemplify important differences and commonalities of the CT approaches based on two specific disorders, posttraumatic stress disorder and health anxiety. © 2011 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
Exploring Programmatic Moderators of the Effectiveness of Marriage and Relationship Education Programs: A Meta-Analytic StudyAlan J. Hawkins | Scott M. Stanley | Victoria L. Blanchard | Michael Albright
Volume 43, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 77-87
This study uses meta-analytic methods to explore programmatic moderators or common factors of the effectiveness of marriage and relationship education (MRE) programs. We coded 148 evaluation reports for potential programmatic factors that were associated with stronger intervention effects, although the range of factors we could code was limited by the lack of details in the reports. Overall, we found a positive effect for program dosage: moderate-dosage programs (9-20 contact hours) were associated with stronger effects compared to low-dosage programs (1-8 contact hours). A programmatic emphasis on communication skills was associated with stronger effects on couple communication outcomes, but this difference did not reach statistical significance for the relationship quality/satisfaction outcome. There was no evidence that institutionalized MRE programs (formal manuals, ongoing presence, formal instructor training, multiple evaluations) were associated with stronger effects. Similarly, there was little evidence of differences in program setting (university/laboratory vs. religious). We discuss possible explanations for these findings and implications for program design and evaluation. © 2011.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy for Generalized Anxiety Disorder in Older Adults: A Preliminary ReportJulie Loebach Wetherell | Lin Liu | Thomas L. Patterson | Niloofar Afari | Catherine R.

Some evidence suggests that acceptance-based approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) may be well-suited to geriatric generalized anxiety disorder (GAD). The primary goal of this project was to determine whether ACT was feasible for this population. Seven older primary-care patients with GAD received 12 individual sessions of ACT; another 9 were treated with cognitive-behavioral therapy. No patients dropped out of ACT, and worry and depression improved. Findings suggest that ACT may warrant a large-scale investigation with anxious older adults. © 2010.
Modular cognitive-behavioral therapy for body dysmorphic disorder: A randomized controlled trialSabine Wilhelm | Katharine A. Phillips | Elizabeth Didie | Ulrike Buhlmann | Jennifer L. Greenberg | Jeanne M. Fama | Aparna Keshaviah | Gail Steketee

There are few effective treatments for body dysmorphic disorder (BDD) and a pressing need to develop such treatments. We examined the feasibility, acceptability, and efficacy of a manualized modular cognitive-behavioral therapy for BDD (CBT-BDD). CBT-BDD utilizes core elements relevant to all BDD patients (e.g., exposure, response prevention, perceptual retraining) and optional modules to address specific symptoms (e.g., surgery seeking).Thirty-six adults with BDD were randomized to 22 sessions of immediate individual CBT-BDD over 24 weeks (n= 17) or to a 12-week waitlist (n= 19). The Yale-Brown Obsessive-Compulsive Scale Modified for BDD (BDD-YBOCS), Brown Assessment of Beliefs Scale, and Beck Depression Inventory-II were completed pretreatment, monthly, posttreatment, and at 3- and 6-month follow-up. The Sheehan Disability Scale and Client Satisfaction Inventory (CSI) were also administered. Response to treatment was defined as ≥. 30% reduction in BDD-YBOCS total from baseline. By week 12, 50% of participants receiving immediate CBT-BDD achieved response versus 12% of waitlisted participants (p= 0.026). By posttreatment, 81% of all participants (immediate CBT-BDD plus waitlisted patients subsequently treated with CBT-BDD) met responder criteria. While no significant group differences in BDD symptom reduction emerged by Week 12, by posttreatment CBT-BDD resulted in significant decreases in BDD-YBOCS total over time (d= 2.1, p. <. 0.0001), with gains maintained during follow-up. Depression, insight, and disability also significantly improved. Patient satisfaction was high, with a mean CSI score of 87.3% (SD= 12.8%) at posttreatment. CBT-BDD appears to be a feasible, acceptable, and efficacious treatment that warrants more rigorous investigation. © 2014.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes the relationship a person has with their thoughts and beliefs as potentially more relevant than belief content in predicting the emotional and behavioral consequences of cognition. In ACT, "defusion" interventions aim to "unhook" thoughts from actions and to create psychological distance between a person and their thoughts, beliefs, memories, and self-stories. A number of similar concepts have been described in the psychology literature (e.g., decentering, metacognition, mentalization, and mindfulness) suggesting converging evidence that how we relate to mental events may be of critical importance. While there are some good measures of these related processes, none of them provides an adequate operationalization of cognitive fusion. Despite the centrality of cognitive fusion in the ACT model, there is as yet no agreed-upon measure of cognitive fusion. This paper presents the construction and development of a brief, self-report measure of cognitive fusion: The Cognitive Fusion Questionnaire (CFQ). The results of a series of studies involving over 1,800 people across diverse samples show good preliminary evidence of the CFQ's factor structure, reliability, temporal stability, validity, discriminant validity, and sensitivity to treatment effects. The potential uses of the CFQ in research and clinical practice are outlined. © 2013.
Adaptive Disclosure: An Open Trial of a Novel Exposure-Based Intervention for Service Members With Combat-Related Psychological Stress InjuriesMatt J. Gray | Yonit Schorr | William Nash | Leslie Lebowitz | Amy Amidon | Amy Lansing | Melissa Maglione | Ariel J. Lang | Brett T. Litz
Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 407-415
We evaluated the preliminary effectiveness of a novel intervention that was developed to address combat stress injuries in active-duty military personnel. Adaptive disclosure (AD) is relatively brief to accommodate the busy schedules of active-duty service members while training for future deployments. Further, AD takes into account unique aspects of the phenomenology of military service in war in order to address difficulties such as moral injury and traumatic loss that may not receive adequate and explicit attention by conventional treatments that primarily address fear-inducing life-threatening experiences and sequelae. In this program development and evaluation open trial, 44 marines received AD while in garrison. It was well tolerated and, despite the brief treatment duration, promoted significant reductions in PTSD, depression, negative posttraumatic appraisals, and was also associated with increases in posttraumatic growth. © 2011.
Effectiveness of the challenging horizons after-school program for young adolescents with ADHDSteven W. Evans | Brandon K. Schultz | Christine E. DeMars | Heather Davis
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 462-474
There are no empirically supported psychosocial treatments for adolescents with attention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). This study examined the treatment benefits of the Challenging Horizons Program (CHP), a psychosocial treatment program designed to address the impairment and symptoms associated with this disorder in young adolescents. In addition to evaluating social and academic functioning outcomes, two critical questions from previous studies pertaining to the timing, duration, and family involvement in treatment were addressed. Forty-nine students recruited in two cohorts were randomly assigned to receive either the CHP or a community care condition. Outcomes suggested that students who received the CHP improved compared to students in the control condition on measures of symptoms and impairment. Implications related to timing, duration, and family involvement are reported, as well as recommendations for future studies. © 2011.
Anxiety Sensitivity and Interoceptive Exposure: A Transdiagnostic Construct and Change StrategyJames F. Boswell | Todd J. Farchione | Shannon Sauer-Zavala | Heather W. Murray | Meghan R. Fortune | David H. Barlow

Recent findings support the relevance of anxiety sensitivity (AS) and interoceptive exposure (IE) across emotional disorders. This study (a) evaluated levels of AS across different anxiety disorders, (b) examined change in AS over the course of transdiagnostic psychological intervention, and its relationship with outcome, and (c) described the implementation of IE to address AS with patients with different anxiety disorders. Participants (N=54) were patients who received treatment with the Unified Protocol for Transdiagnostic Treatment of Emotional Disorders (UP) in two consecutive treatment trials. Participants completed a measure of AS at pre- and posttreatment, and multiple occasions during treatment. Symptom severity was assessed at pre- and posttreatment, and clinical information related to physical symptoms and IE were collected as part of routine clinical practice. Elevated AS was observed at pretreatment across diagnoses and decreases in AS were observed from pre- to posttreatment. Similar changes occurred across the diagnostic categories, notably coinciding with the introduction of IE. Change in AS was correlated with reduced symptom levels at posttreatment and 6-month follow-up. Patients with different anxiety disorders endorsed similar physical symptoms and practiced similar IE exercises with similar effects. Results provide preliminary support for the usefulness of IE as a treatment strategy across the spectrum of anxiety disorders, and additional support for the transdiagnostic relevance of AS. © 2013.
Combining Computerized Home-Based Treatments for Generalized Anxiety Disorder: An Attention Modification Program and Cognitive Behavioral TherapyNader Amir | Charles T. Taylor
Volume 43, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 546-559
Generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) is a common and disabling condition associated with significant personal and societal costs. Although efficacious treatments exist for GAD, the majority of these individuals fail to access our most effective treatments. In the current paper, we report the results of an open trial that examined the efficacy of a computer-delivered home-based treatment program for GAD. Twenty-one individuals seeking treatment for GAD received a self-administered program over 6 weeks that comprised two components: (1) an Attention Modification Program (AMP) designed to facilitate attentional disengagement from threat-relevant stimuli and (2) brief computer-delivered cognitive and behavioral treatment modules (CCBT). Fourteen of the 21 enrolled participants (67%) completed the treatment program. Intent-to-treat and completer analyses revealed that AMP + CCBT resulted in significant reductions in clinician- and self-rated symptoms of anxiety, worry, depression, and functional impairment. Moreover, treatment completers displayed significant reductions in attentional bias for threat from pre- to postassessment. Change in attentional bias for threat from pre- to postassessment was associated with change in worry symptoms. Finally, 79% of participants no longer met DSM-IV criteria for GAD at postassessment and 36% were classified as remitted (Hamilton Rating Scale for Anxiety ≤ 7; Rickels et al., 2006). These results suggest that computer-delivered AMP + CCBT may serve as an effective and easily accessible treatment option for individuals with GAD. © 2011 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.
Using Session-by-Session Measurement to Compare Mechanisms of Action for Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive TherapyEvan M. Forman | Jason E. Chapman | James D. Herbert | Elizabeth M. Goetter | Erica K. Yuen | Ethan Moitra
Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 341-354
Debate continues about the extent to which postulated mechanisms of action of cognitive behavior therapies (CBT), including standard CBT (i.e., Beckian cognitive therapy [CT]) and acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) are supported by mediational analyses. Moreover, the distinctiveness of CT and ACT has been called into question. One contributor to ongoing uncertainty in this arena is the lack of time-varying process data. In this study, 174 patients presenting to a university clinic with anxiety or depression who had been randomly assigned to receive either ACT or CT completed an assessment of theorized mediators and outcomes before each session. Hierarchical linear modeling of session-by-session data revealed that increased utilization of cognitive and affective change strategies relative to utilization of psychological acceptance strategies mediated outcome for CT, whereas for ACT the mediation effect was in the opposite direction. Decreases in self-reported dysfunctional thinking, cognitive "defusion" (the ability to see one's thoughts as mental events rather than necessarily as representations of reality), and willingness to engage in behavioral activity despite unpleasant thoughts or emotions were equivalent mediators across treatments. These results have potential implications for the theoretical arguments behind, and distinctiveness of, CT and ACT. © 2011.
An Integrated Approach to Delivering Exposure-Based Treatment for Symptoms of PTSD and Depression in OIF/OEF Veterans: Preliminary FindingsMartha Strachan | Daniel F. Gros | Kenneth J. Ruggiero | Carl W. Lejuez | Ron Acierno
Volume 43, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 560-569
Combat-exposed military personnel from the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan report high rates of PTSD and associated psychiatric problems. A formidable body of research supports exposure therapy as a front-line intervention for PTSD; however, relative to studies of civilians, fewer investigations have evaluated the effectiveness of exposure therapy using military samples. Specifically, barriers to care (e.g., stigma associated with receiving mental health services) may compromise utilization of evidence-based psychotherapy. As such, researchers have argued that veterans with PTSD may require an integrated and innovative approach to the delivery of exposure techniques. This paper presents the rationale for and preliminary data from an ongoing clinical trial that compares the home-based telehealth (HBT) application of a brief, behavioral treatment (Behavioral Activation and Therapeutic Exposure; BA-TE) for veterans with PTSD to the standard, in-person application of the same treatment. Forty OIF/OEF veterans with PTSD and MDD were consented, enrolled, and randomized to condition (BA-TE in-person, or BA-TE HBT) and symptoms of anxiety and depression were assessed at pre- and posttreatment. Participants in both conditions experienced reductions in depression, anxiety, and PTSD symptoms between pre- and posttreatment, suggesting that HBT application of an integrated PTSD treatment may be feasible and effective. © 2011 Association for Behavioral and Cognitive Therapies.

Too funny!
Sometimes. When I'm in a horny mood it flows better but really depends what I'm writing. It's if I read it back and I feel horny then I know it's good to go.
Lack of respect for themselves and others.
Okay I'm always wearing pale shades of nail colour these days. What colours and brands are you girls into? I love to compare. The guy I'm dating right now always compliments my nails and hair and stuff so he's earning big "bonus points" haha. Tonight I'm wearing pale Ivory/Cream? What colour are you wearing? Also does your BF or husband notice and comment? Not sure if you've seen this but there is a great nail thread in the En Vogue section which may help... Here Pale Ivory sounds lovely. I have red on at the moment but a beige one, I recently purchased, is a personal favourite.
I love make-up. Like most people have mentioned I go for a more natural look through the day. I tend to use Bobbi Brown or bareMinerals products a lot. I do cheat and have my eyebrows and lashes tinted for quickness and easiness. Usually, through the day it's normally just to accentuate features, etc. (Or make me look like I'm awake!) I love mascara and nude lipgloss. When it's time to "glam it up" I go for darker shades, smoky eyes and red lips. Love my Nars lipgloss! Makes me feel good. https://upload.lushstories.com/1536295914-NARS+Larger+Than+Life+Lip+Gloss+in+413+Bleecker.jpeg
I am working on my 'Layla' story. She just won't quit.I need to get her out so I can concentrate on the others that I have locked away. I need to clear out these wicked thoughts.
I have seen shows where some shemales are incredibly beautiful. But no, I can't really say the thought ever entered my mind.
I tend to read good authors on here rather than go for the genre of things. I've read an array of tantalising stories. I do enjoy hardcore, reluctance and voyeurism and exhibitionism stories, amongst others!
All depends on my mood. I'd imagine like most people.
Friendly member. Has stories to read and some funny pics in his gallery.
Yes, I do browse porn on the internet. Probably too often! I usually steer towards the kinky stuff and more hard-core like BDSM. Really depends on my mood.

Does anyone practice male orgasam denial. Any thoughts on this practice Definitely 'floats my boat'. I love the feeling of being in control and just being downright wicked.
I love watching how hard he gets for me. I love the tease and knowing how bad he needs it. A massive turn on for sure.
Yes. Although prefer it when he shaves me.
I sure do. Probably too much!
Sheer nude colour
I was watching my sister in laws apartment one day & she came home early. She walked into her bedroom & saw me with a pair of her dirty panties wrapped around my face so I could sniff them & lick them clean & another pair in my hand jerking off. She just turned around & left. We haven't spoken of it since then, but I want to. How would you feel if this happened to you?What should I do now? This is just wrong on so many levels. Regardless of your fetish, as others have rightly pointed out, this is a crazy invasion of someone's privacy. I would find it embarrassing if my brother-in-law seen my underwear on the washing line! I couldn't imagine how I would feel catching him shoving his face in the crotch! You are lucky that she just turned around and left. We haven't spoken of it since then, but I want to. What would you say to her? I can't imagine it would end very positively, unless you are hoping she is going to love the fact and start an affair with you behind your brothers back?

After a performance like Derek Holland's Game 4 masterpiece for the Texas Rangers against the St. Louis Cardinals on Sunday, one can't help but search for some perspective. Among the many things that make baseball and the World Series so special are the vast differences between who can shine brightest on a night-to-night basis. Consider that on Saturday night the stage and the entire sports world was dominated by Albert Pujols.
Pujols is one of baseball's biggest stars, and in a few months will also be one of baseball's highest paid players ever. His offensive showcase in game three on Saturday was amazing but also not completely unexpected from a player of his caliber.
Contrast that with Game 4 just 24 hours later. That's when a 25-year-old pitcher picked in the 25th round of the draft back in 2006 came out and pitched a game that will stand in some very special company. It wasn't a complete-game shutout, but Holland took his scoreless game into the ninth inning, and he did it against the very same lineup that had lit up his teammates for 16 runs just one night before.
In what kind of company does that place Holland? Let's use Don Larsen's 1956 perfect game as a starting point and go from there.

Nick Carter's Upcoming All American Tour
Nick Carter has recently announced that he will be having a North American concert tour early in 2016 to promote "All American," his new album. The former member of The Backstreet Boys will commence his tour on February 25th. His first stop is in Beverly Hills, which will be shortly followed by other major markets including New York, Las Vegas, Dallas, Detroit, Chicago and Toronto. His "All American" tour serves as a follow up to the "Nick and Knight" tour in which he visited 39 cities last fall together with fellow musician Jordan Knight.
"All American" is Nick Carter's third solo album. It will be released on November 25, 2015. He recently collaborated with Jordan Knight and the two came up with an album called "Nick & Knight," which came out last September 2, 2014 and peaked at number 24 on the Billboard 200. Carter also happily announced last month that Lauren, his wife, is pregnant with a baby boy.
Starting his music career at the young age of 12, Nick Carter rose to stardom and become one of the most recognized pop superstars in the world when he joined iconic boy band The Backstreet Boys. Famous for his boy-next-door appeal and heartthrob status, Nick's 22-year career in the entertainment industry extends beyond sold out concert arenas, as he has worked in a wide range of projects in both film and television, and as an author and philanthropist. He recently paired up with Knight, who was a member of New Kids on the Block, another famous boy band during the 90s. Their album, Nick & Knight, was a huge success.

With progressing innovative work in restorative advancements, specialists are better prepared to treat the patients with a more noteworthy possibility of cure.
Therapeutic Research and Technology
Researchers are always trying out new hardware and strategies to abbreviate operation periods whilst boosting life compass. In addition, they are likewise experimenting with new medications for better treatment and even cure of predominant infection.
With the assistance of therapeutic innovation, researchers ventured into cell level of germs and their antibodies. We definitely know how the disclosure of immunizations helped control intestinal sickness, MMR, polio and other such ailments, sparing a large number of lives around the world. According to the World Health Organization, antibodies spare 3 million lives every year.
Significance of Innovation in Medicine
The life cycle of a restorative item goes from 18-20 months. This is still better that numerous commercial enterprises, for example, Information innovation, however upgrades still should be made. Additionally take note of that development isn't just about enhancing the nature of consideration; it is likewise about keeping up and maintaining better social insurance frameworks.
What's more, even while under 10% of national wellbeing spending plan was allocated to restorative hardware development amid the financial year of 2000-2008, advances in medicinal innovation have diminished the drawn out clinic stays by 13%.
In addition, colossal expense reserve funds have been recorded with the initiation of outpatient consideration from in-patient consideration. Personal satisfaction has enhanced over the period also. Given the measure of maturing populace and the current financial atmosphere, medicinal expense sparing was basic.
For example, Cataract surgery, which was beforehand a 3-5 day inpatient session, has now been decreased to a day consideration focus operation. Likewise, add up to knee substitutions are turned out to be better as far as sparing expenses and movement of patients. What's more, these are only a couple of samples we can discover.
In the event that we move further, perpetual conditions, for example, joint inflammation and waterfalls kept patients from coming back to their every day schedules. With therapeutic gear advancement, the time taken to return back to their ordinary lives has been essentially diminished. This likewise helps the self-regard of patients whose medicinal condition can prevent their physical freedom.
Over the long haul, restorative development makes healthier and more content individuals, as well as more grounded economies too. This is on the grounds that healthier individuals can contribute all the more successfully to a nation's GDP.
Developing Medical Equipment Technologies
Melanoma biopsies
Melanoma is a constant type of skin disease. Melanoma is amazingly perilous mole looking safe on the outside until a surgical biopsy isn't directed. Presently, dermatologists have think of a convenient device, affirmed by FDA for breaking down tissue morphology. MelaFind optical scanner is currently used to focus the need of biopsy.
Electronic Aspirin
Individuals experience the ill effects of bunch cerebral pains, headaches and other endless head torments because of agony in a facial nerve pack called sphenopalatine ganglion (SPG). Another instrument has developed for shutting out the SPG signals on their commencement, being known as the electronic headache medicine.
Needle-Free Diabetes
Diabetes consideration is an extremely agonizing procedure for the patient including glucose testing, day by day doses of insulin and further danger of contamination from unnecessary infusion needles. Glucose screens and insulin pumps have decreased the troublesome procedure to a sure degree. A biosensor is put on the top layer of the human skin for flagging levels of sugar. This will do with away with the needle used to take blood tests.

Gwyneth Paltrow On More Kids: "Part Of Me Would Love To Have Another ... Of Course, Iĺm Old Now!"
Posted on Wed Dec 5th, 2012 1:51pm PDT By X17 Staff
Gwyneth Paltrow covers the new issue of InStyle U.K. and while the mag borrows some quotes from her interview with the U.S. edition earlier this year, there's a few new tidbits, specifically about her desire to have more children!
The 40-year-old actress says she thinks about giving son Moses and daughter Apple a younger sibling, telling the mag, "My brain says, 'Oh, I think IÔÇÖm done, the kids are big now and I donÔÇÖt want to go back to changing diapers.' But a part of me would love to have another. Of course, IÔÇÖm old now!"
Gwyneth, who was interviewed by pal Diane von Furstenberg for the mag, added, "I look for an interesting supporting part about once a year. ThatÔÇÖs the most I can manage. Some women can do it and thatÔÇÖs fantastic, but I canÔÇÖt. You make choices as a wife and mother, donÔÇÖt you? You canÔÇÖt have it all. I donÔÇÖt care what it looks like."
So what does Mrs. Goop say is the hardest thing about her marriage to Coldplay frontman Chris Martin? "Probably our artistic temperaments together. Artists are sensitive; there are ups and downs, mood-wise. Musicians need a certain gravitas and focus in order to write. The temperament that goes with someone who is creative can be challenging."

How businesses can win talent war with mobile apps, HR data analytics and cloud technology
Latest articles on HR best practices: mobile apps disrupting the annual staff appraisals; reasons for and against open-source software; and Rolls-Royce case study.
Speaking at the APEX conference in Long Beach, California, Thales announced the launch of a touch passenger media unit (TouchPMU) and fourth-generation IFEC system based on Google's Android OS on Qatar Airways's Boeing 787s. Panasonic said it plans to offer an Android-based IFEC platform for its smart monitor systems.
"The reason for going down this road [using Android] is the same reason we were in Linux instead of Windows. This stuff is open and relatively easy to get to and do your own drivers," said Panasonic Avionics CEO Paul Margis.
"The TouchPMU will be able to host endless applications. Its mature, open source, web-based platform makes it easy to integrate functionality and leverage existing gaming and application resources," said Alan Pellegrini, head of Thales in-flight entertainment.
Panasonic is also showcasing how Android applications can run over the latest versions of its eX2 and smart monitor systems.
Thales and Panasonic's Android-based IFEC platforms will be available by the end of 2011.

Nope, it's quite true. But it won't affect Doc's working in the states. He'll work here as much as he wants to. He found some beautiful property out there and is ready to enjoy some time in the wide open spaces. If Doc were working less it would be coincidental to his move not as a result of it.
I had about a half hour long conversation with him a couple of weeks ago and he's very much looking forward to going and living la vida suave.
my guess is that he will be in or around san miguel de allende, guanajuato, mexico.. can u possibly confirm this? i'd be very curious!
He mentioned the town, but not being really familiar with Mexican towns it went in one ear and out the other. I just know he'll be in the mountains somewhere with easy access to an airport for anytime he wants to get out to go gig somewhere. It really won't be any different from his living California. I think even if I did know, I'd probably not divulge that and let him do that at his discretion anyway.
Funny, I've been thinking about doing the same thing. My wife is Mexican and would really like to move back. It is a much more relaxed life. They do like trumpet players there.Originally Posted by Manny Laureano

BEREA—Most Browns observers from fans to media, including the OBR staff have clamored for bringing in a veteran presence at the wide receiving corps.
Let's face it, Jake Delhomme is coming off a very shaky season in Carolina where he had Pro Bowl receiver Steve Smith. What do the Browns have as currently constructed?
The current roster of wide receivers list Chansi Stuckey, Joshua Cribbs, Brian Robiskie, Mohamed Massaquoi, Syndric Steptoe, Jake Allen, James Robinson, Carlton Mitchell and Johnathan Haggerty.
Eric Mangini and staff seem to be content to go to training camp with the current group. The Browns were content to let veteran Mike Furrey sign with the Redskins and so far haven't brought in a veteran. That could change between now and training camp, but don't count on it.
Cribbs has the most experience in the NFL entering his sixth season, but has played very little at receiver. He caught 20 passes for 135 yards and one touchdown last season. Stuckey came over from the Jets as the main player in the Braylon Edwards trade. He combined with the Jets and Browns to have 30 receptions for 318 yards and two touchdowns (19 for 198 yards and a touchdown for the Browns).
Massaquoi tied for the team lead with Jerome Harrison with 34 receptions for 624 yards and three touchdowns. Robiskie caught just seven passes for 106 yards, including a 43 yarder.
The rest of the receivers had no NFL catches in 2009.
In fact, the current contingent of receivers combined for 91 receptions for 1,153 yards and six touchdowns. Nine NFL receivers individually, had more catches and yardage than the Browns receivers combined.
The emergence of the second-year receivers, particularly Robiskie is of utmost importance. Robiskie has caught the attention of the coaches since OTAs and caught as many as six touchdown passes Friday morning.
"I think it has a lot to do with them because that's why it was important at the time we drafted those guys," Mangini said. "They keep plugging away and keep working all season, after the season after practice on the jugs machine.
"Typically, people with high work ethic will get better."
Some think the change in quarterbacks to Jake Delhomme and Seneca Wallace is the difference.
"It's tough to say the main ingredient is the change in quarterback," Mangini said. "They have a year under their belt and that makes a big difference."
Stuckey is virtually the gray beard at receiver at 25, but he's impressed with Massaquoi and Robiskie.
"I think those guys are doing great," Stuckey said. "Those guys have been making plays. They're blue-collar type guys that work very hard and have a lot of pride in getting better."
Stuckey says the big difference from year one to year two is one thing.
"The big thing is consistency," Stuckey said. "From their rookie year, they have settled down and been able to get in a groove."
Mangini agrees.
"I think Robo is having a great camp," Mangini said. "Since we have started OTAs, he's done a nice job. He's a lot more comfortable running precise routes. That's one of the things we liked about him coming out of Ohio State.
"Mo has had a nice camp and so has Chansi," he said. "(Mo's) has outstanding hands. There were times last year in practice that he made some unbelievable catches. Now, it's route in and route out to continue to be consistent.
"For a young guy, I thought he did some good things," he said. "The thing about those young receivers, is they block and they block and they finish the plays."
Stuckey believes the present corps of receivers will play well.
"We're very young in age and experience," Stuckey said. "But in terms of experience, I'm only in my fourth year but I'm one of the oldest guys out there."
Stuckey said he is much more comfortable after coming over in mid-season a year ago and now feels he's ready to assume a leadership role.
"It's extremely tough to come in the middle of the season and gain the guys trust," Stuckey said. "You want to lead, but you have to work hard and earn the trust of your teammates.
"I've had to mature quicker and take on a leadership role."
Stuckey will most likely be the third down receiver and relishes his role.
"I love the slot," Stuckey said. "That's what I've been playing my whole life."
Mangini mentioned a couple of the rookies that have caught his eye in Mitchell and Haggerty. Mitchell was a sixth-round draft choice, while Haggerty is an undrafted free agent from SW Oklahoma State.
"Carlton is making steps and he's going to get in that area where he's confused," he said. "He's done some positive things. Haggerty has shown up once or twice a day and now it is consistency. There are going to be peaks and valleys with those guys.
"(Haggerty) is a bright guy and every day he goes out and makes his case," Mangini said. "We have a lot of guys we brought in and you have to pop up and pop up. He's got more looks because what he's done."
Hardesty Progressing: RB Montario Hardesty is pleased with his progress. He has been working with the first team offense and has alternated with RB Jerome Harrison.
"I've picked up the offense for the most part," he said. "Things are starting to slow down for me on the field a bit."
The coaches and media have talked about his hands since the rookie minicamp and he said that's a part of the game he works at a lot.
"I caught like 30 passes last year (at Tennessee)," he said. "I work on (receiving) the ball all the time because I don't want to be a liability in the passing game."
Mangini continues to be pleased with Hardesty's progress. He has done well in the classroom.
"He's gotten a lot of reps with the ones and he seems comfortable there," he said. "It doesn't faze him and he's done well."
More AM Practice Notes: In the morning two-minute offense, QB Jake Delhomme started the drive with a 25-yard crossing pattern completion to WR Chansi Stuckey and then a short completion to WR Mohamed Massaquoi. After throwing a pass away after a fumbled snap, Delhomme completed the drive with a touchdown pass to Massaquoi as he beat DB Matt Harris and DB DeAngelo Smith… In goal line, Delhomme found WR Brian Robiskie for a touchdown. Although not official, it appeared as though Robiskie caught five or six touchdowns in Friday morning's practice…In the two-minute offense, rookie OL Shawn Lauvao was with the first team at right guard and OL John St. Clair was at right tackle…Delhomme threw a bullet to TE Robert Royal for a touchdown and Royal made a nice grab with his arms extended…RB Jerome Harrison dropped a swing pass from Delhomme in goal line and RB James Davis fumbled, but picked up the ball in goal line…QB Brett Ratliff threw a touchdown to RB Jed Collins…QB Seneca Wallace had his first pass batted down in two-minute offense and then after an incompletion, hit rookie WR Johnathan Haggerty with two over the middle passes. He was sacked on the final play.

Fayette tax digest up 1 percent
The value of all property in Fayette County saw a small but significant increase in 2014.
Information supplied by Fayette County Tax Commissioner George Wingo showed an increase of approximately 1 percent in the 2014 tax digest.
Though small, an increase of 1.022 percent over the value of all real and personal property in the county in 2014 is a marked improvement over 2013 when the tax digest finally climbed into positive territory but was essentially flat.
The 2014 increase of 1 percent would have been a 2.2 percent increase had it not been for a $57.8 million decrease in motor vehicle taxes stemming from the one-time 6.5 percent title ad valorem tax. The tax on vehicles sold after spring 2013 replaced the annual "birthday tax" on vehicle decals.
Nonetheless, the change in vehicle taxes included, the county's value grew by just over 1 percent.
Pertaining to the tax digest, taxes are based on 40 percent of the fair market value of a piece of property.
The county's 40 percent value for 2014 totals $4.683 billion. That figure compares to a 40 percent value of $4.639 billion in 2013, a difference of approximately $44 million.
As might be expected, residential properties at $3.117 billion account for the largest block of value in the county. Lagging behind in value are commercial properties at $753.7 million, industrial properties at $329.5 million, motor vehicles at $296.9 million, utilities at $74.6 million, agricultural property at $66.4 million and land in conservation at $40.1 million.
While the Great Recession ended officially years ago, the reality is that property values in Fayette County took a sharp dive that resulted in a 20 percent drop in value countywide. It was only in 2013 that property value stopped falling and began to climb incrementally in the other direction.
