Photo: Thinkstock I didn't know how to begin this article.
I'd read the book The Breakout Principle (Scribner), by Herbert Benson, MD, and William Proctor, about maximizing performance and creativity. Then I'd interviewed Benson, an associate professor at Harvard Medical School and the author of several books on mind and wellness, most notably the mega best-seller The Relaxation Response (Wings). After a few hours of trying different beginnings, I gave up and started trudging home from my office. About halfway there, it hit me: the lead, that crucial first sentence. Benson would say I'd just experienced a "breakout," a phenomenon as mysterious—until now—as it is familiar: You're striving toward a goal at work, in a relationship, in therapy, or at the gym, and you hit a wall. You're stuck, frustrated, and exhausted. Finally, you just let go. You turn to something completely different, perhaps something soothingly mindless and repetitive. "It could be as simple as putting on your makeup or brushing your hair," Benson says. "With me, it's sometimes shaving." And suddenly the answer is there. Your mind is flooded with insights and solutions, your body with the energy and grace that athletes call the zone. That's a breakout, the term Benson has coined for a universal pattern of human functioning that powers our great leaps forward in every area of life. After such a leap, you don't slide back to where you were before. Every breakout you've ever had has lifted you, a millimeter or a mile, to a higher, freer plane. It's how we grow—not in one smooth arc, but in bursts that Benson diagrams as STRUGGLE > RELEASE > BREAKOUT > IMPROVED "NEW NORMAL." Once we understand this process, Benson says, we can learn to help it happen. "Think back on it, and you'll find a certain set of behaviors you go through when you're stuck," he says. Whether it's a formal practice like yoga or a comfy space-out like knitting or folding laundry, he says, "you must get your mind completely off what you were struggling with." Benson, who is also the founding president of Mind/Body Medical Institute in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts, calls this "pulling the breakout trigger." In collaboration with neuroscientists and using new imaging technology, he's been researching what happens in the brain when you do it.

37.5 weeks.Posted On Wednesday, December 15, 2010 by Sara |
I am not sure how to start this story out. Brings lots of sad memories. My fiance' (at the time) was away at Air Assault school in Georgia while I was in Maryland. He had got medically dropped for breaking his hand. The same night while he was waiting to fly back I started to feel really sick, and contractions were back to back with no break. I was persistant on waiting an hour or until I had six within the hour. They eventually stopped after I got up and walked around, and drank water. He got home the next morning, and the rest of the weekend I was fine. I went in on March 16th, 2009 for my regular 38 week scheduled appointment. Little did I know this was the day I would welcome my now almost 2 year old daughter into the world. The nurses aid checked my blood pressure, and it was 153/99. While I waited for the Nurse Practitioner to come in the nurses aid had me lay down to rest. Once my nurse practioner came in she checked my blood pressure again. It was the same, if not higher. She checked me. 0% effaced. 0% dialated. She recommended that I go to L&D to be monitered. So I went. They had me flop sides while monitering my daughter, and my blood pressure. They finally decided that once my blood pressure hit 175/125 it was time to go. They induced me around noon, started magnesium sulfate, and the regular IV's. I proceeded as normal just waiting to have Gaby. I remember them checking me and saying your 7 almost 8. We will be back in 15 minutes to check, unless you feel pressure then calll us. Less than 30 seconds after they walked out of the room my blood pressure machine went off checking my pressure. It was at the point 224/140 something, and my daughter's heart rate was in the 50's. All this time my epidural was not working, so when they took me back for my emergency c-section I had to be put to sleep. I do not remember much after that. I remember my fiance' asking why when they rolled me out of the room rushing toward the OR, why I looked "relieved". I told him that I wouldn't say I felt relieved, but I had a horrible labor that when it was finally out of my hands I had to give it God, and trust the doctors with mine, and my daughters lives. They had told him they had 10 minutes to start the surgery before I started to have seizures, and then if that happened he would have to choose who he would rather save. They told him that they were never going to put him in that prediciment so he didn't have time to suit up and come along. After all of this, when I finally woke up and saw Gabriellah. I felt relieved, but I am still haunted by preeclampsia. I always feel horrible sharing my story because I know there are women out there that have had worse situations than me, but to this day I pray that this next pregnancy will go smooth. I would never wish this on anyone. March 16th, 2009 was the night I almost died. March 16th, 2009 was the night my daughter almost died. I thank my God in heaven that we are alive and well today! |
After surviving a very traumatic first pregnancy with a nightmare delivery (30 hours of magnesium-induced hell, ending in an emergency c-section) and even more debilitating recovery, one would think I was DONE having children. Let's be ...

Medical Marijuana Might Slow Thinking Among MS Patients
Study suggests side effects could sometimes outweigh benefits of pain relief
By Maureen Salamon
HealthDay Reporter
MONDAY, March 28 (HealthDay News) -- As the debate over medical marijuana use continues, a new study among multiple sclerosis patients -- who often use the drug to relieve pain and muscle spasticity -- adds to the argument that smoking pot clouds thinking skills.
Canadian researchers studied two groups of 25 people between the ages of 18 and 65 with MS, an autoimmune disease that attacks the central nervous system and can lead to paralysis, cognitive problems, incontinence and a host of other sensory and functional deficits. One group used marijuana heavily, while the other group reported no marijuana use for many years.
Patients using pot performed significantly worse on cognitive tests measuring attention, thinking speed, executive function and visual perception of spatial relationships between objects, the study authors said. Users were also twice as likely to be classified as globally cognitively impaired, meaning they failed at least two of 11 various assessments.
The study is published in the March 29 issue of Neurology.
"We published a paper a few years back that said cannabis use in MS patients might be linked to delays in processing speed, but it was a very small sample," said study author Dr. Anthony Feinstein, a professor of psychiatry at the University of Toronto. "This confirms our earlier impressions that cannabis could, in fact, have some cognitive side effects . . . but I'm surprised at the breadth. We were thinking we would probably replicate our earlier findings, but it went beyond that."
Data suggests that between 36 percent and 43 percent of MS patients have smoked pot at some time, according to the study, and "a substantial minority" find cannabis relieves pain, insomnia, spasticity, tremors, bladder problems and emotional distress.
Between 40 percent and 60 percent of MS patients are cognitively impaired to begin with, Feinstein added, but study participants using marijuana scored about one-third lower on a sensitive test of information-processing speed than non-users.
A total of 72 percent of users reported smoking pot daily, while 24 percent reported weekly use. The average duration of marijuana use was 26 years, the study said.
"I would stop and think very carefully about cannabis use . . . it concerns me that there's a movement that cannabis can be used as a benign drug," Feinstein said. "So I would want to look at cannabis very closely before using it. The database is still small . . . there are so many unanswered questions."
Feinstein noted that the study could not conclude that pot use causes clouded thinking, only that the two were linked. He also could not determine whether the slowdowns in thinking among pot-using MS patients was any worse than might be observed among users without MS.
Nicholas LaRocca, vice president of healthcare delivery and policy research for the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, said the study is "sort of a wake-up call about the potential effects of long-term and heavy use of marijuana in people who have MS."
While the research could not be randomized because scientists cannot assign participants to ingest a potentially harmful drug, he said, the authors carefully matched the user and control groups and the cognitive evaluations done on both.
Clouded thinking "is a potentially very devastating side effect," LaRocca said. "It's a high price to pay for whatever relief is being provided. The important thing about the study is it gives people pretty solid information about the risks they may be taking."
"Many people find the side effects of a given drug are worse than the symptoms," he added. "I think we're looking at a very familiar dilemma."

For many families, education is the determining factor in where they choose to make their home. Education is key to a better life, maybe even a longer one; in fact, a Harvard Medical School study found that well-educated people live 30 percent longer. In contrast to state budget cuts for education, the U.S. Department of Education is offering $400 million to states in their Race to the Top program for schools that can show improvement in student achievement. The good news is that graduation rates are improving across the country; more students are taking advanced science and math courses like calculus, statistics, chemistry and physics; and we have seen a 37 percent increase in college enrollment.
Choosing a school for your kids is a personal choice, so we can't tell you which city will be a perfect match for your family. However, these cities stood out when we compared educational benchmarks like graduation rates, math and reading scores, per-student spending, and class sizes.
1. Burlington, Vermont
Ranked second overall on our best cities list, it's no surprise that Burlington tops our education list. The small city boasts small class sizes, a huge perk since the U.S. Department of Education reported that achievement scores are higher in schools with fewer kids per class. Burlington also boasts a favorable student-to-teacher ratio. There are also plenty of options for pint-size students; Burlington has a high number of National Association for the Education of Young People-accredited day care centers per capita.

They keep winning....but it'll be interesting to see how far they go because they are without their qb Sean Mannion for awhile, but they do have a stud receiver in Markus Wheaton, which makes a qb's job infinitely better....

The earlier you are ranked, it doesnt matter if your schedule is easy and you barely pass through it, as long as you keep winning you will generally leapfrog those who lose and stay ahead of those who didn't get ranked as soon as you do. Its also how we'll probably end up with another SEC-SEC title game... so many SEC teams ranked high so early that one of them losing to the other doesnt drop them enough (as its viewed as a 'good loss') and the winner vaults in to take their spot as Florida did this week. (Meanwhile OU loses to kansas state and drops big, and still hasn't recovered because KSU wasn't ranked as highly to start) If it were up to me we wouldn't have any major polls until mid-october at the earliest, just to eliminate some of that effect from preseason rankings.

I love these little cards! I just switched to an all-natural mascara, and while I love the mascara, it's super-messy to apply and was really making me frustrated (tons of clumps and smearing all over). These cards allow me to get right to the root of my lashes and result in the best coating possible while preventing any smearing in my eye area. I've used the same one over and over (just wipe off any smudges or let them dry), so they definitely last for way more than one use.
This card is more flimsy than I was expecting but it does help avoid clumps in my mascara. It is also nice to not get any excess mascara on my eye lid when applying.
These cards are perfect for avoiding that moment when you mess up your eyeshadow by pressing too hard with your mascara wand or blinking. Perfect little tool to avoid that ohh S**t moment!
I was kind of excited about these at first, because I hate clumps, but using the card didn't make that much of a difference. A lot of product comes off on they card, which you then throw away. Not recommended.
This lash cards are very helpful. Very simple design, and I realized that you can actually get four uses from each card so that is like having 40 cards not 20! Use each end on the front, flip it over and do the same on the back! Love them.
These actually do work very well.. I bought them thinking "whatever".. They arent going to work.. But they do .. They work perfectly.. The best part is you can use the same one over and over again..just take a makeup remover and wipe it off then let it dry..
It works good, but it is hard to brush through my lashes all the way but other than that it works amazing. And it didn't cost that much so I think it was a good purchase.
There were a couple issues with these Lash Cards. Firstly, budget conscious women do not like throwaway cardboard junk. These are a great idea, however they could use material improvement. Make them out of cleanable plastic, and affix a light adhesive to the top to hold the product in place so self-use is much easier.
When I saw these while scrolling through the Birchbox Shop, I knew I had to have them!!! I'm not exactly sure how in the "h-e-double hockey sticks" how to use them. I'm assuming its due to my lack of coordination.
On the other hand, I handed them out to all of the women at work, and they agreed, I'm unbelievably uncoordinated... As they loved them.
I bought two packages of the lash cards thinking they'd be just what I was needing. I cannot begin to express how frustrating they are to use. They are very flimsy and cheaply made. Would've been better if they were made from plastic. I have long lashes to begin with and its too much of a hassle to deal with the card.

No joking, these blades are swiss made. The nice thing about the wood and nails reciprocating saw blades is that if you are cutting through an old piece of lumber and there is a hidden nail, you don't even notice it because the blade cuts through it like butter.

The liver is the largest organ in the body and performs many important functions to keep a person healthy. Liver cancer is more common in males than females, with males more than twice as likely to develop liver cancer over a lifetime.
Liver cancer can arise in two ways:
Primary liver cancer (most commonly hepatocellular carcinoma) originates in the liver. Metastatic liver cancer results from the spread (metastasis) of cancer from other areas of the body.
Many cases of liver cancer are metastatic liver cancer, due to the fact that the liver has two blood supplies, thus facilitating the spread of cancer from other organs. In these cases, the other organ is considered the primary site of the cancer.
Hepatocellular Carcinoma: The most common form in adults begins in the hepatocytes, the main type of liver cell. Approximately 75 percent of primary liver cancers are of this type. This type of cancer can have different growth patterns. Some begin as a single tumor that grows large and later spreads to other parts of the liver. However, this type of cancer may also begin in many spots throughout the liver and not as a single tumor. This is most often seen in people with liver cirrhosis and is the most common pattern seen in the United States.
Cholangiocarcinomas: These tumors account for approximately 10-20 percent of cases of liver cancer. These cancers start in the small tubes that carry bile to the gallbladder (called bile ducts). Consequently, cholangiocarcinomas are often referred to as bile duct cancer.
Angiosarcomas and Hemangiosarcomas: These tumors are rare forms of cancer that begin in the blood vessels of the liver and grow quickly. Often by the time they are found they are too widespread to be removed.
In its early stages, liver cancer is difficult to detect, which is why it's sometimes known as the "silent disease." As the tumor grows, symptoms may include the following:
These symptoms do not necessarily confirm the definite presence of liver cancer. However, anyone experiencing any of the symptoms should contact their doctor immediately.

This week's parental quandary is mine.
I have four children, and in the past few months, two in particular have found their way into a far more contentious relationship — one that's still mostly loving and solid, but tends to veer off suddenly into fury. Fury would be fine, actually. They each make me furious on a regular basis. It's the hitting that I don't understand.
I'm an only child, and hitting is outside of my frame of reference. There wasn't anyone to hit, when I was young enough that hitting seemed reasonable. There was me, and there was the dog.
For my four, there is someone around to hit nearly every hour of the day. Until recently, they still mostly didn't. But a few weeks ago, I walked in on my youngest daughter solidly laying punches into my youngest son, who was curled up into a ball on the floor, wailing — and then got up, while I was still trying to decide how to respond, and calmly went back to the table to re-engage in whatever project they had going on.
And that's how it goes. Read more…

- The Mountain InnChristine MathiasJul 05, 2012
The Mountain Inn is a high-class establishment that maintains a homely, down-to-earth feel. Right next to the Killington ski resort, there is a free shuttle with waiting room that runs every 15 minutes. Conveniently, there is a ski locker right next to the shuttle drop-off location.
Each room features a fireplace, balcony with gorgeous mountain views, a mini fridge and wireless internet. I loved the outdoor heated pool, although it was on the smaller side. The Santa Fe restaurant, found right in the Inn, is a nice twist on traditional resort restaurant food, with a southwest themed menu. The bar features live music five nights a week. Perhaps the best part of my stay at the Inn was interacting with the incredibly friendly and accommodating staff. - The Mountain InnTom MasonJul 05, 2012
Striking the perfect balance between a southwestern motif and quaint ski lodge, it would be tough to beat staying at the Mountain Inn after a full day on the slopes. With the front of the hotel holding a coveted, unobstructed view of Killington, the visual beauty pouring into the room and the large restaurant windows was simply unparalleled. Although just slightly out of walking distance to the mountain, the hotel offers a free shuttle service running every fifteen minutes along with a complementary ski locker for the guest's convenience. After a long day of outdoor recreation, taking a dip in the comfy heated outdoor pool is just what the doctor ordered, followed by drinks and dinner in the Sante Fe restaurant, with billiards and enjoying live music to follow. The room was quite classy, equipped with both a mini fridge and couch.
- The Mountain InnJane AllenJul 05, 2012
The Mountain Inn has a prime location near the top of Killington Road. From the Inn there are great views to the nearby ski area and runs down Killington Mountain. In comparison to the other large resorts near the ski area, the Mountain Inn has perhaps the most character and coziness. The outdoor heated pool is a real bonus, as you can swim in 100-degree water with a spectacular mountain view. Some of the Inn's 50 guest rooms have real fireplaces, and all are meticulously clean and pleasantly decorated. The Southwestern-themed restaurant attached to the Inn is open to the public, and there is also a separate bar area which hosts live music four nights out of seven.
The Mountain Inn at Killington has an outdoor pool and a sauna. Dining options at this ski inn include a restaurant and a bar/lounge. Guest parking is complimentary. The staff can arrange wedding services, event catering, and business services. Additional amenities include an arcade/game room, ski storage, and laundry facilities. This is a smoke-free property.
The 51 guestrooms at The Mountain Inn at Killington include hair dryers and windows that open. Guests can channel-surf the cable television. Complimentary wireless high-speed Internet access is provided. In addition, amenities available on request include irons/ironing boards and wake-up calls. Housekeeping is offered daily. All guestrooms at The Mountain Inn at Killington are non-smoking.

And she had a ton more. Apparently, this guys cousin passed away and this guy is ripping them and then selling them to the shop. The collection is basically in brand new condition. My guess would be that there were at least 30 zappa cd's. A ton of jazz as well.
Ohhh, if it were all vinyl...I would be in heaven.

Mozilla: 7 years old and as idealistic as ever
On March 31, 1999, Jamie Zawinski penned the obituary for Mozilla, developer of the Firefox Web browser. It was actually Zawinski's resignation letter from Mozilla.org and Netscape (then America Online), but in parting he admitted that Mozilla "had finally lost the so-called 'browser war.'"
If only he had kept the faith, as Mozilla Chairperson Mitchell Baker has, Zawinski might be penning a different post for Mozilla, what with its 22.51-percent global market share which rises, almost like clockwork, five percent each year.
Firefox, ne "Mozilla 1.0," was launched seven years ago today. … Read more

The rare condition thyrotoxic hypokalemic periodic paralysis, or TPP, causes people with normal muscle strength to experience episodes of paralysis and weakness. Until recently, TPP was known to be associated with attacks of high thyroid hormone secretion (thyrotoxicosis), but new information shows that in some cases the condition also has a genetic component -- mutations in a newly identified potassium channel that helps control the flow of potassium ions into and out of muscle fibers.

Politics in Sacramento makes for strange mathematics. Earlier this week, for example, five became eight in Democrat-controlled Assembly committees. At issue was Assembly Bill 2160, the California Teachers' Association's controversial attempt to expand radically the union's control over our children's education. Between Tuesday and Thursday, to borrow the Sacramento Bee's description, "five stooges" on the Public Employees, Retirement and Social Security Committee morphed into "eight stooges" on the Education Committee as Democrats committee members made sure, in turn, that AB 2160 reached the Assembly floor in a form acceptable to the CTA. Five became eight because eight votes were necessary to pass the bill out of the Education Committee. Presumably, had ten votes been needed, five would have become ten.
If the CTA has its way, eight will soon become 41, the votes necessary to pass AB 2160 in the whole Assembly. This would defy both common sense and a very nervous Governor Gray Davis, who is on record as opposing AB 2160. When the CTA flexes its muscles, however, assembly members tend to wilt, especially Democrats. The CTA's 330,000 members, both willing and unwilling, and its millions of dollars in political donations to Democrats have that effect. The bill's opponents fear, therefore, that with some window dressing amendments to provide cover, the fifty member Democrat majority in the Assembly will pass the bill and the governor, who is up for re-election this year, will go along.
If AB 2160 passes, only the CTA benefits. The rest of us, especially those with children in public schools, suffer. The bill adds ten specific categories to collective bargaining. All are bad. The worst, however, give the union authority over our children's education, soup to nuts. They add to the bargaining process decisions on educational materials including textbooks, local standards for achievement, course content, educational objectives, curriculum, and programs designed to encourage parental involvement in student education.
Some people think that last item particularly bold, and shocking. Not content with controlling the actual educational process from beginning to end, the union looks to decide where parents are allowed to be involved in their children's learning. CTA representatives, who are not necessarily the same folks as classroom teachers, will essentially exercise veto power over ideas about parental participation in schools that originate with parents or local school boards. If you and your board, for instance, want access to your child's schoolwork as well as homework, you might be frustrated if union representatives take the position that such material should only be available to "professionals."
There are many other reasons, of course, for concern over what is described variously as a union power grab, an attempt to prevent educational accountability, and a "frontal assault on education reform." The California School Board Association, for example, objects to taking money out of educational resources to pay for what will be much more complex collective bargaining and bemoans the likely prolonging of the bargaining process because it would now touch upon everything schools do.  There is also concern that teachers, who already take part in all the things AB 2160 reaches, would essentially be shunted aside as professional union representatives take over all the details of education the process.
In the final analysis, AB 2160 is most objectionable because it places more barriers between the public and public education. The bill's supporters apparently desire a system where union representatives and professional educators get together to decide things, shutting out nonprofessionals like parents. The American Federation of Teachers, supporting the bill, predicts that it will lead to "enhanced cooperation between educators and administrators." What group is missing in that formula?
In a district close to mine, a school administrator recently complained that parents were protesting because his school "requires voluntary service" from students. Without a hint that there is something fishy about required voluntary service, the administrator made clear that he considered parental objections intolerable. One can imagine what he and similarly minded professionals might do if AB 2160 becomes law.
Occasionally, the public turns on the educational establishment. In 1998, voters passed Prop. 227, which assures English language teaching in most of our classrooms. For the educational establishment, this was an affront, although by virtually all accounts the results have been quite positive. If AB 2160 passes, even in an amended form, it may be necessary for the public to travel that route again.

Rock Star: INXS
Episode Summaries
Rock Star: INXS
(Courtesy Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia)
Rock Star: INXS
is the first season of the reality television show
Rock Star
where 15 contestants competed to become the lead vocalist for the Australian rock band INXS.
INXS enjoyed great popularity through the 1980s and early 1990s, but in 1997, frontman Michael Hutchence died. The band attempted to continue with alternate singers, but remained largely dormant until this show. The winner of the series,
J.D. Fortune
, was announced on Tuesday, September 20, 2005 and became the band's new lead singer. Following the series, on November 29, 2005, the band released the studio album
with J.D. Fortune on lead vocals.
Contestants were housed in the Paramour Mansion, and squared off in a singing contest featuring well-known rock songs. Each week, viewers voted for their favorite contestant. The three contestants with the least number of votes performed an INXS song the following night. The members of the band then decided which contestant would be sent home, with lead guitarist Tim Farriss invoking the show's catchphrase "you're just not right for our band, INXS" to the departing contestant.
The show originally appeared three nights a week on CBS. The format consisted of a half-hour behind-the-scenes episode on Monday, a one-hour performance episode on Tuesday and a half-hour elimination episode on Wednesday. However, on August 3, 2005, CBS announced the behind-the-scenes episode would move to Sunday nights on VH1 effective August 7, 2005 due to low ratings in the United States. As the show continued, the ratings improved. This prompted the expansion of the Wednesday results show to one hour for the duration of its run. The winner,
J.D. Fortune
, was announced on Tuesday, September 20, 2005.
Marty Casey
and his Chicago-based band Lovehammers were invited to open for INXS on their 2006 tour.
The show was executive produced by
Mark Burnett
and was hosted by
Brooke Burke
and former Jane's Addiction guitarist
Dave Navarro
. Other producers were David Goffin (
American Idol
), Lisa Hennessy (
) and INXS managers David Edwards and Michael Murchison were executive producers. Conrad Riggs was co-executive producer. The show was edited by A.J. Dickerson and Scott C. Wilson.
Five musicians made up the house band that backed the 15 contestants during the show. The house band was made up of Paul Mirkovich,
Jim McGorman
, Nate Morton, Sasha Krivstov, and Rafael Moreira.
Three contestants reached the finale:
Mig Ayesa
Marty Casey
, and J. D. Fortune. Fortune was considered by many the underdog of the three as he established a renegade image during the competition. In the finale, Ayesa, Casey, and Fortune each selected a song that was performed previously on the show. Ayesa chose Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody", Casey chose Pink Floyd's "Wish You Were Here", and Fortune chose The Rolling Stones', "You Can't Always Get What You Want". Based on these performances, INXS eliminated Ayesa.
With the competition down to Casey and Fortune, each performed an INXS song with, for the first time on the show, all five members of INXS. Casey performed "Don't Change" and Fortune performed "What You Need." INXS announced Fortune was the winner.
Original songs
During the competition, Casey and Fortune performed two original songs that became fan favorites. Both songs would receive multiple encores during the competition. Casey's original song was called "Trees" and was described by host
Dave Navarro
as a song that he could imagine being heard on the radio "today". In fact, the song received some radioplay as a result of its exposure on the show.
At one point in the competition, the remaining eight contestants were challenged to write lyrics to melody written by Andrew Farriss. They were divided into two teams of four. When Fortune did not see eye to eye with his team (which included Casey), he decided to venture out on his own and write his own lyrics. At first, Fortune's move was considered to have jeopardized his chances of winning the competition (since it was perceived he couldn't work in a team), but it was this move that resulted in his creation of the lyrics of "Pretty Vegas." This song became a favorite of both fans and INXS and played a major role in Fortune winning the competition. It also became the first single from their new album
Top 15 finalists
The following is a list of songs performed by each finalist during the competition. The number represents the week in which the song was performed. Except for the second week, each week one finalist was asked to perform an encore performance of the song they performed the night before, noted as an "Encore Performance".
Each week the three finalists who had the lowest total audience votes were asked to perform an INXS song of the band's choice, noted as a "Bottom 3 Performance". This was the case for every week except for the first and last ones. After everyone performed one non-INXS song in the first and last episodes, the band chose one contestant to be eliminated out of the entire group. There was no voting for the bottom three.
In the seventh week two contestants were given the chance to perform original songs (Mig & Deanna.)
For the ninth week performance episode each contestant performed an original song as well as a non-INXS song. In the elimination episode that week all the remaining contestants plus
Dave Navarro
performed as an ensemble with INXS on their new track Us, as the opening act for that week's encore.
For the tenth week performance two songs were chosen by INXS to be performed by each of the remaining contestants.
The ages given below were the ages of the contestants during the recording of the show.

I have breakpoints set but Xcode appears to ignore them.
First of all, I agree 100% with the earlier folks that said turn OFF "Load Symbols Lazily." I have two more things to add. My first suggestion sounds obvious, but the first time someone told me this I was on the verge of responding with "oh, come on, you really think I wouldn't know better...... oh."
There are a number of other properties under Target >> Get Info that might be affecting you. Look for things like optimizing or compressing code and turn that stuff OFF (I assume you are working in a debug mode, so that this is not bad advice). Also, look for things like stripping symbols and make sure that is also OFF. For example, "Strip Linked Product" should be set to "No" for the Debug target. |
Go to the Xcode Debugging preferences. Make sure that "Load Symbols lazily" is NOT selected. |
See this post: Breakpoints not working in Xcode?. You might be pushing "Run" instead of "Debug" in which case your program is not running with the help of gdb, in which case you cannot expect breakpoints to work! |
I was just having this same issue (again). After triple-checking "Load symbols lazily" and stripping and debug info generation flags, I did the following:
You can accomplish the same task in finder by right/option-clicking on the .xcodeproj bundle and picking "Show Package Contents". When I restarted Xcode, all of my windows had reset to default positions, etc, but breakpoints worked! |
I have a lot of problems with breakpoints in Xcode (2.4.1). I use a project that just contains other projects (like a Solution in Visual Studio). I find sometimes that breakpoints don't work at all unless there is at least one breakpoint set in the starting project (i.e. the one containing the entry point for my code). If the only breakpoints are in "lower level" projects, they just get ignored. It also seems as if Xcode only handles breakpoint operations correctly if you act on the breakpoint when you're in the project that contains the source line the breakpoint's on. If I try deleting or disabling breakpoints via another project, the action sometimes doesn't take effect, even though the debugger indicates that it has. So I will find myself breaking on disabled breakpoints, or on a (now invisible) breakpoint that I removed earlier. |
I think the problem could be incompatibility between device versions and Xcode. I have this problem when attempting to debug on my iPhone 4S running iOS 5.0.1. I am still using Xcode 3.2.5. I got the symbols from the handset by selecting "use this device for development" in the Organiser window. This phone refuses to breakpoint however. My old 3GS will breakpoint, same Xcode project, same settings... just different device and it's running iOS 4.0. I guess this is an Xcode bug in 3.2.5, since I have the symbols. Having tried all the solutions posted here so far, I have decided the solution to my problem is to go ahead and upgrade to XCode 4. Perhaps you cannot debug effectively unless your base SDK is at least as high as the system on which to debug. Maybe that's obvious - can anyone confirm? Edit: I will update when I can confirm this is true. |
For Xcode 4.x: Goto Product>Debug Workflow and uncheck "Show Disassembly When Debugging". |
For Xcode 4: go Product -> Debug -> Activate Breakpoints |
I haven't done Xcode in a bit, but I recommend that you disable "Zerolink" and "Load Symbols Lazily"; that will fix most problems. Zerolink is an abomination anyway. |
In Xcode 4
When setting your break point, right click and you should get several options about how the break point is handled (log vars and continue, pause execution, etc) Also make sure the "Load Symbols lazily" is not selected in the debug preferences. (Applies to Xcode 3.1, not sure about past/future versions) |
I've had my breakpoints not work and then done Build / Clean All Targets to get them working again. |
Also make sure that the AppStore distribution of the app is not also installed on the device. |
Another thing to check is that if you have an "Entitlements" plist file for your debug mode (possibly because you're doing stuff with the Keychain), make sure that plist file has the "get-task-allow" = YES row. Without it, debugging and logging will be broken. |
There appears to be 3 states for the breakpoints in Xcode. If you click on them they'll go through the different settings. Dark blue is enabled, grayed out is disabled and I've seen a pale blue sometimes that required me to click on the breakpoint again to get it to go to the dark blue color. Other than this make sure that you're launching it with the debug command not the run command. You can do that by either hitting option + command + return, or the Go (debug) option from the run menu. |
I have Xcode 3.2.3 SDK 4.1 Breakpoints will fail at random. I have found if you clean the build and use the touch command under build they work again. |
Here's an obscure one I've run into: if you're working on a shared library (or a plugin), your breakpoints will go yellow on startup, which might cause you to hammer your keyboard in frustration and kill the debug process. Well, don't do that! The symbols won't get loaded until the app loads the library, at which point the breakpoints will become valid. I ran into this problem with a browser plugin... BPs were disabled until I browsed to a page that instantiated my plugin. |
I was facing the same problem when I wanted to debug a web plug-in where the custom executable was Safari 5.1. It was working fine till upgraded my Safari to 5.1 from 4.0.5. Once I installed Safari 4.0.5 again, all breakpoints started working without modifying any Xcode setting. |
I believe that a project can also become corrupted in regards to breakpoints. I have a project, for example, that WILL NOT break on any breakpoints that it remembers from the previous session. I first wrote about this here |
If you are using subversion, just revert your project files (only) to the last time you knew the debugger was working. |
Just solved this in
And that's all, breakpoints are back again. Hope this helps. |
Another reason the breakpoints can turn yellow is if the application binary you are debugging has been modified since it was first run. In my case, I added a folder to the application's Contents/Resources folder after having debugged the program once. On the debug run after adding the folder, the breakpoints turned yellow and were ignored. I modified my procedure: I did a clean, a build, added the folder, then ran, and all was well. Perhaps Xcode (or OS X) creates and remembers its own digital signature of the application (which was not digitally signed) and then, sensing that the application was modified, refuses to try to set breakpoints. By making my mods before the first (debug) run of the application, the digital signature was made with my mods. All this on OS X 10.6.8 using Xcode 3.2.2. |
In case of Xcode 4 and later *Load symbols lazily* is seems to be dropped. So refer this post click here Simple and detailed explanation worked for me. |
You can check one setting in target setting Apple LLVM Compiler 4.1 Code Generation Section Generate Debug Symbol = YES |
This happens from time to time with an iOS project at least. To fix it, I had to reboot the iOS device, quit Xcode, and rebuild the project. |
I found the problem. Somehow the "Show Disassembly when debugging" was enabled in my XCode which creates that problem. When I disabled it, all my debugger stopped in my source code. You can find it under: |
I have Xcode Version 4.6.3 and Breakpoints were never working in sub-groups of included projects. The project would compile and run fine; it would even attach to the debugger and spit out NSLog output appropriately. The issue was related to my Header Search Paths. I had some of them set 'recursive' instead of the default 'non-recursive'. Changing them all to 'non-recursive' and updating all of the related imports appropriately fixed the problem. |

We had such a fantastic time at the harmony guesthouse! Most of this is owed to the wonderful owners who were so incredibly kind and patient in helping us in any way they could. My husband got sick while we were there and she even helped us get medicine, also helping us book our flight and train tickets, she was a sweetheart and we greatly appreciate all her kind help. Oh and the food is delicious! Make sure you try the sweet and sour chicken, it's amazing!

I'm quite a laid back person, so I read the reviews and thought maybe they were a little exaggerated. Maybe not. We arrived and were instantly asked for money and a suspisciously random amount for a 'key deposit', for 2 beds in a dorm. The only common toilet didn't flush, we were in a room over AND next door to a bar, it looked nothing like the photos on hostel world and was dirty. Another greedy Chinese person it seems! The other staff members were ok. Breakfast was expensive but decent.

The dorm over the bar was disgusting- wallpaper peeling off the walls beside the beds and the bathroom was non functioning with the accompanying smell. Some of the bathroom pipes weren't even connected and leaked out over the floor. Basically, don't stay here.

They don't have any mat in the room so we need to walk around the room with wet feet after getting out of the bathroom. So annoying. And their Chinese food is not good.

VA ending Microsoft licensing in 'ruthless reduction'
Wednesday - 4/11/2012, 7:38pm EDT
Roger Baker, Chief Information Officer, Department of Veterans Affairs
In an internal memo first obtained by Government Executive, Baker told employees that VA has decided to discontinue Microsoft Software Assurance, which automatically pays for updates and new releases.
"One of the things we recognized at VA is that we can't keep up with the rate of release that an enterprise vendor like Microsoft has. For example, right now the bulk of our desktops are on Windows XP, not on Windows 7," he said. "We recognized that we need to look at the value we're deriving from all of our enterprise contracts."
The move will allow VA to purchase only the computer products it needs, when it needs them, something akin to buying issues of a magazine versus having a subscription. It's a model VA is looking at for all of its vendors, Baker said.
"This is an approach we're going to look at for all of those products that we use broadly across the enterprise: Are we doing them the right way? Have we done the right analysis about what the right way of licensing and using those products are? And are we deriving the maximum value possible out of the dollars we spend?" he said.
As part of this "Ruthless Reduction Program," VA is also considering reducing use of personal printers and moving toward a network-printer model.
VA holds about 360,000 desktops with licensed Microsoft products. Those licenses will remain unchanged under the new plan, but maintenance and updates will open up to more competitive pricing from other vendors.
Baker stressed that this move would not affect daily operations for VA employees.

Visit us early and often—at any stage in your writing process. Visit the OWL To browse available resources Our Mission We envision our service as one of writers helping writers. In providing a real audience for writers, we ask writers questions to encourage them to revise their drafts for increased clarity of ideas, logical organization, and overall effectiveness. Rather than serving as a proofreading or editing service, we work with writers to help them learn to edit their own work. Because we believe ideas have consequences, we work with writers to bring their ideas into focus. We encourage creativity, critical thinking, and communication as a means toward building stronger communities. We look at writing not only as a static text but also as a process of learning and problem solving in order to create new meaning and greater understanding. We strive to create a unique space, where writers feel comfortable to discuss and develop their ideas and where they can grow confident in their ability to communicate with diverse readers. |

Section 608. Impeachment
by Evidence of Character and Conduct of Witness
(a) Reputation
Evidence of Character. The credibility of
a witness may be attacked or supported by evidence as to reputation, subject to
the following limitations:
(1) the evidence may
refer only to character for truthfulness or untruthfulness, and
(2) evidence of
truthful character is admissible only after the character of the witness for
truthfulness has been attacked by reputation evidence or otherwise.
(b) Specific
Instances of Conduct. In general,
specific instances of misconduct showing the witness to be untruthful are not
admissible for the purpose of attacking or supporting the witness's
Subsection (a).
This subsection is derived from Commonwealth v. Dockham,
405 Mass. 618, 631, 542 N.E.2d 591, 599 (1989), and Commonwealth v. Daley,
439 Mass. 558, 563, 789 N.E.2d 1070, 1075 (2003). Cf. Commonwealth v. Daley,
439 Mass. at 562–563, 789 N.E.2d at 1075 (evidence of person's bad character
generally inadmissible to prove action in conformity therewith); Section 404,
Character Evidence Not Admissible to Prove Conduct; Exceptions; Other Crimes.
Unlike under Federal
law, character for truthfulness cannot be proven by evidence of personal
opinions or isolated acts. See Commonwealth v. Walker, 442 Mass. 185,
197–198, 812 N.E.2d 262, 273–274 (2004) (declining to adopt original Proposed
Mass. R. Evid. 405[a]); Commonwealth v. Benjamin,
430 Mass. 673, 678 n.6, 722 N.E.2d 953, 958 n.6 (2000). Reputation evidence
must be based on one's reputation in the community or at the person's place of
work or business. Commonwealth v. Walker, 442 Mass. at 198, 812 N.E.2d
at 274. See G. L. c. 233, § 21A (work or business); Commonwealth
v. Dockham, 405 Mass. at 631, 542 N.E.2d at 599
(community). A witness's testimony must be based on the witness's knowledge of
the person's reputation in the community, not of the opinions of a limited
number of people. Commonwealth v. LaPierre, 10
Mass. App. Ct. 871, 871, 408 N.E.2d 883, 883–884 (1980). See Commonwealth v.
Phachansiri, 38 Mass. App. Ct. 100, 109, 645
N.E.2d 60, 66 (1995); Commonwealth v. Gomes, 11 Mass. App. Ct. 933, 933–934,
416 N.E.2d 551, 552–553 (1981).
Subsection (a)(1). This subsection
is derived from Commonwealth v. Favorito, 9
Mass. App. Ct. 138, 140, 399 N.E.2d 1101, 1101 (1980). "Evidence irrelevant to
the issue at trial or to the witness's reputation for truth and veracity is
inadmissible to impeach a witness." Commonwealth v. Cancel, 394 Mass.
567, 572, 476 N.E.2d 610, 615 (1985).
Subsection (a)(2).
This subsection is derived from Commonwealth v. Sheline,
391 Mass. 279, 288, 461 N.E.2d 1197, 1204 (1984), and Commonwealth v. Grammo, 8 Mass. App. Ct. 447, 455, 395 N.E.2d 476, 482–483
(1979). This limitation does not restrict the right of a defendant in a
criminal case to offer evidence of his or her reputation for a character trait
that would suggest he or she is not the type of person who would commit the
crime charged. See Section 404(a)(1), Character Evidence Not Admissible to
Prove Conduct; Exceptions; Other Crimes: Character Evidence Generally:
Character of the Accused. Neither "the offering of testimony that contradicts
the testimony of a witness" nor "the introduction of prior out-of-court statements
of a witness constitute[s] an attack on the witness's character for
truthfulness," because "[t]he purpose and only direct effect of the evidence
are to show that the witness is not to be believed in [that] instance." Commonwealth
v. Sheline, 391 Mass. at 288–289, 461 N.E.2d at
Subsection (b). This subsection
is derived from Commonwealth v. LaVelle, 414 Mass. 146, 151, 605 N.E.2d
852, 855 (1993), and Commonwealth v. Bregoli,
431 Mass. 265, 275, 727 N.E.2d 59, 69 (2000). This applies whether or not the
witness is a party, Commonwealth v. Binkiewicz,
342 Mass. 740, 755, 175 N.E.2d 473, 483 (1961), and whether the witness is
impeached by cross-examination, Commonwealth v. Turner, 371 Mass. 803,
810, 359 N.E.2d 626, 630 (1977), or by the introduction of extrinsic evidence, Commonwealth
v. LaVelle, 414 Mass. at 151, 605 N.E.2d at 855. On several occasions, the
Supreme Judicial Court has declined to adopt Fed. R. Evid. 608(a)
and Proposed Mass. R. Evid. 608(b), which permit
inquiry into the details of prior instances of misconduct if probative of the
witness's character for veracity. See Commonwealth v. Almonte,
465 Mass. 224, 241, 988 N.E.2d 415, 428 (2013).
The Supreme
Judicial Court has "chiseled" a narrow exception to the rule that the testimony
of a witness may not be impeached with specific acts of prior misconduct,
recognizing that in special circumstances (to date, only rape and sexual
assault cases) the interest of justice would forbid its strict application. Commonwealth
v. LaVelle, 414 Mass. at 151–152, 605 N.E.2d at 855–856. In Commonwealth
v. Bohannon, 376 Mass. 90, 94–96, 378 N.E.2d 987, 990–992 (1978),
the special circumstances warranting evidence of the prior accusations were
that (1) the witness was the victim in the case on trial; (2) the victim/witness's
consent was the central issue at trial; (3) the victim/witness was the only Commonwealth
witness on the issue of consent; (4) the victim/witness's testimony was
inconsistent and confused; and (5) there was a basis in independent third-party
records for concluding that the victim/witness's prior accusation of the same
