Mental Fitness Variables in an Academic Setting
Christopher Hammer, Eastern Washington University, USA
Theme: Novel applications (music, dance, military)
Poster Number: 64
Program ID: POS-1
Presentation: October 3, 2013 5:30 pm - 7:00 pm
Room: Napoleon
Compared to students whose parents have earned a college degree, First Generation College Students (FGCS) are more likely to encounter difficulties in the academic, cultural, financial, and emotional aspects of their collegiate experience (Terenzini, Springer, Yaeger, Pascarella, & Nora, 1996). While it is clear that FGCS experience adversity in their pursuit of higher education, the mechanisms for remedying these issues are not well understood. In the realm of athletics, high-level performers have been shown to possess a constellation of "mental fitness skills" (MFS) which appears to contribute to their ability to outcompete their less successful peers (Gould, Dieffenbach, & Moffett, 2002). This relationship between MFS and good performance outcomes is relatively well established in both the sport and military literature (Gould et al., 2002; Hammermeister, Pickering, McGraw, & Ohlson, 2010). Given the apparent relationship between mental fitness and good performance outcomes in sport and the military, it is hypothesized that these skills will be associated with success in the academic realm as well. This hypothesis, while intuitive, remains relatively unexplored in both the academic and performance psychology literature. Therefore, the purpose of the present study is threefold: (1) to investigate the presence of various MFS-related variables in an academic setting, (2) to assess if those variables are related to academic success, and (3) to compare FGCS and non-FGCS on the aforementioned MFS variables. Participants (n = 460) were students at a regional university in the Pacific Northwest. Participants completed a variety of measures adapted from the sport psychology literature as well as self-reported academic variables such as GPA. Statistical analysis largely supported the hypothesis. Results reveal significant relationships between mental fitness skills and academic variables of interest as well as significant differences between the FGCS and non-FGCS populations.

It looks like you are keeping Lentävä Lapanen in business. The yarns you have used are beautiful and range of colours wonderful. Some people just use their favourite colours but you have used a wide variety. I once knew a man who knit to keep arthritis from stiffening up his fingers.

Du bist ja unheimlich fleissig, liebe Ulla. So viele schöne Wintersachen die du gemacht hast. Seitdem ich die Pullis für Afghanistan gemacht habe, kann ich auch nicht mehr aufhören.

Kona's cyclocross line features the Jake model in three editions. The plain ol' Jake ($899) is the entry level; Jake the Snake ($1399) is the mid-range bike, and the Kona Major Jake ($2199) is the top of the line. We had a chance to run the Major Jake around for some time and wanted to tell you what we found.
All in all, it's a terrific bike and one you'll be happy with for true cyclocross, with great components and geometry and a true racing pedigree. But read on to find out more, including what we thought of for its potential for other uses, such as a commuter bike.
Nice Components, Nice Geometry
It's hard to argue with the top of the line components in this bike. Kona's Major Jake features a nice race set-up with a Shimano Ultegra/105 drivetrain featuring twin front chainrings coupled with a ten-sprocket cassette on the back. This combination works nicely in most every setting, though the 36/46 gearing is perhaps an overly safe choice, resting maybe a bit too comfortably in the middle.
Swinging a couple of teeth in either direction would lead itself to either easier climbing when stuff really gets wenchy or maybe taller and faster potential in the big ring to really open it up on the flats and downhills.
Kona has put together a nice, compact frame with the Major Jake. It's extraordinarily light, in large part due to its construction from scandium, a relatively rare element that historically has seen its main use in high-tech applications, like components of the Russian MiG fighter. In the Major Jake, the all-scandium frame offers first-class strength and flex, giving a truly responsive ride, light like aluminum but with a steel-like feel. Plus, a real advantage to scandium is how it performs at the welds and the joints.
The fork on the Major Jake matches its frame in level of performance. Weighing in at barely a pound, the Alpha Q CX-20 carbon fork offers terrific clearance to help shake the mud and gunk that can clog up in the forks, and a degree of stiffness that brings an ideal balance of responsiveness and durability. The CX-20 has larger dropouts that help minimize torsion flexing, another feature to improve and increase the handling the Major Jake offers.
Performance and Handling
All in all, the Major Jake performs like a dream. Keep in mind that this is a cyclocross bike, designed mostly like a road bike, but with the extra bit of stoutness and durability to allow it to handle the beating that a bike can take when you're trucking it through the woods, plus with additional design features that allow you to slog through nasty conditions like mud and wet leaves without getting clogged up.
Your cyclocross type bike is typically going to be sized a bit smaller than you'd ride on a comparable road bike. And that is played out in the fit and feel of the Major Jake. It's not necessarily long and lean like a greyhound, but more compact with coiled power akin to sprinter crouched at the starting line, ready to explode at the sound of the starter's pistol.
What that means is that the Major Jake brings quick acceleration, whether that comes in moving from a standstill, or else picking it up when you're already moving pretty good. And the handling is tight, allowing you to feel the track through the bike. This lets you maneuver with confidence regardless of how treacherous the surface is that you're negotiating, and yet without getting pounded to death in the process.
Additionally, the gearing set up of the Major Jake, coupled with FSA Gossamer Compact crankarms and overall lightness and excellent response/reaction allows it to climb very well, kicking with the same acceleration on the climbs as it puts out on the flats, limited only by what your legs will deliver.
Maybe Too High End for Commuting
Previously, cyclocross bikes were somewhat of a niche item, focused toward guys who liked to ride road bikes and wanted to keep going in the mud and in cold weather when everyone else had theirs hung up in the garage for the winter. There wasn't a whole lot of opportunity to sell cross bikes beyond that. However, bike manufacturers, seeing a whole new market for cyclocross bikes in the growing numbers of bike commuters and the whole push toward "green" everything, have been touting cyclocross bikes as an ideal way to get to work or school. Rugged! Fast! - the best of all worlds.
In general, that's a good concept but probably not the ideal use of the Major Jake. What we're talking about here is a high end race bike, one touted by Kona as having won more cyclocross titles than any other bike. Unless you've got more money than you know what to do with, keep your Major Jake for racing. If you want to ride a cyclocross bike for commuting, Kona will do you just fine if you maybe get in on the lower end with a plain old Jake. You'll worry less about the $900 bike getting damaged or rained on than you would the $2200 one, and you'll get the same performance if you're talking about just riding back and forth to work vs. trying to win a world championship. Besides, if you're like me, I'd have to keep the Major Jake locked to my desk in my cubicle or else I'd get nothing done worrying about it. And of course, if you're staring at a bike all day, you'll be thinking about riding and there's still no work getting done.
All in All - This is a Great Bike
Whether you race cyclocross or just want to take to the woods without having to lug a heavy old clunker mountain bike, Kona's Major Jake is a good choice. In fact, any of the Jake bikes are top notch, just depends on what you want to spend. And the adage that you get what you pay for holds here too: The Jake is good; Jake the Snake is better; Major Jake is great.


text: A Thibodaux lawmaker pushing a November special legislative session to challenge Gov. Bobby Jindal's budget-cutting decisions is running into opposition from the governor's allies who lead both the House and the Senate. Rep. Jerome "Dee" Richard, an independent, has only a few weeks to gather the support he'd need to hold the special session after the Thanksgiving holiday. In the proposal outlined, he's asking lawmakers to consider enacting new restrictions on Jindal's ability to privatize or close state-run health care facilities and prisons, and he's suggesting lawmakers revisit cuts that have been made. Senate President John Alario and House Speaker Chuck Kleckley - Republicans who won their leadership jobs with Jindal's support - say Richard hasn't offered a clear, alternate plan and the session would waste taxpayer dollars.

A Derrick Rose among many thorns
Chicago Bulls guard goes down again
Oh no, not again.
That had to be the collective (and panicked) reaction of Chicago Bulls fans when word came down that star guard Derrick Rose had suffered another injury. The official word from the Bulls is that Rose had suffered a "minor" right hamstring injury during the fourth quarter of the team's 96-81 victory over the Cleveland Cavaliers on Monday night at the United Center.
UPDATE: Bulls coach Tom Thibodeau says Derrick Rose has "minor right hamstring injury", will be re-evaluated tomorrow.—
(@SportsCenter) November 12, 2013
The 6-3 Chicago native, who grimaced noticeably while driving for a layup with 3:39 to play and was then pulled from the game, did his best afterward to calm those who might be fearing the worst.
"It's just a minor sprain," Rose told reporters. "Nothing bad."
VIDEO: Derrick Rose on his hamstring injury: "They said I wasn't moving good enough to be out on the court." bit.ly/1bqn15c—
Sun-Times Sports (@suntimes_sports) November 12, 2013
That being said, some might suggest you can't blame Bulls fans for being a little alarmist about things. After all, they'd looked on helplessly as Rose sat out the entire 2012-13 season while recovering from a torn ACL that was surgically repaired in May 2012. While the former Memphis star was cleared for contact in January, he never made it back to the court.
All of which led the Twitterverse to react in almost predictable fashion on Monday night — with an overwhelming dose of cynicism. Here's a sampling of some of the posts that caught our eye.
Derrick Rose exits Bulls' game early with minor hamstring injury, only expected to be out 2 years.—
The Fake ESPN (@TheFakeESPN) November 12, 2013
Derrick Rose left the game with a hamstring injury? I guess we'll see him next game….. Or next season.—
Maaz Satti (@soAMaazing) November 12, 2013
Derrick Rose hurt his hamstring tonight so we probably won't see him again til the 2016 season #injuryprone—

Derrick Rose suffers minor hamstring injury. Out for season.—

Derrick Rose got injured again. Well, he'll be out for the next three seasons—

Anyways, I think you get the picture. Once burned, these folks (and many others) are anything but shy.

Every week we set out to answer a question submitted by one of our readers as part of our You Ask...Patch Answers feature.
With a Panera and Chipotle most likely opening their doors in town this year, this week we decided to look into what restaurant could be bringing their business to Bedford next.
Attorney Pamela Brown, who represented Panera and Chipotle in seeking permits from the Town last year, said Bedford residents could be eating at a new Subway restaurant this year.Looking for updates on Bedford business and real estate? Subscribe to our newsletter or follow us on Twitter and Facebook.
Brown said she will be seeking permits from Bedford for a Subway restaurant at 170 Great Road, the old Verizon Store next to the Post Office.
The hearing for the new Subway restaurant will be held on Jan. 17, according to Brown.
Construction has already started to accomodate a take out focused Panera at 213 Burlington Road, and the restaurant is expected to open its doors by March 21, according to Brown.

We've got kitties on either side of the bye. The Jaguars, as expected, turned out to be relatively toothless. Next up, Panthers at home. We aren't birds, but how concerned should we be about the next feline encounter?
via www.wallsave.com
via www.wallsave.com
Statistically (based on yards/game), the 49ers have:
#13 Total Offense vs Panthers #3 Total Defense.
#1 Running Offense vs Panthers #2 Running Defense
#31 Passing Offense vs Panthers #9 Passing Defense
More importantly, the Panthers have only allowed 13.7 points per game (second only to the Kansas City Chiefs) They have only allowed 6 Touchdowns thus far in 2013 (2nd to Pittsburgh's 5).
On the other side of the ball, the Panthers have:
#22 Total Offense vs S.F. #9 Total Defense
#8 Rushing Offense vs S.F. #14 Rushing Defense
#29 Passing Offense vs S.F. #8 Passing Defense
In points allowed per game, we rank #7, so our defense is good at stopping opponents no matter where they are on the field..
In Overall Team Efficiency, Football Outsiders has the Panthers at #4 and our Niners at #8
You can usually find a stat to support whatever you want to say about a team, but it's a safe bet that the upcoming Panthers are no Jaguars and a whole lot more CAT than Kitty.

One group of students have been getting the best of both worlds... while hitting the books, they're also getting a taste of the outdoors.
Dairy farmer Heidi Selkin has been sharing the ins and outs of dairy farming to second graders at Lowell Elementary for months now.
After months of showing kids how it's done through technology, Selkin decided to stop by and give the students a first hand look. "They're so far removed from the farm they haven't had that much exposure when they're growing up. Everyone used to grow up in town and they just have no idea and its important to remember where things come from and how they're made."
In her monthly videos she has shown the students what cows on Boadwine Dairy Farm eat, where they live, and how they are cared for every day.

News Feature | February 4, 2014
Geisinger and Regeneron Partner Up
In an effort to spur innovation and improve care for patients, Geisinger Health System and Regeneron Pharmaceuticals announced that the two companies would collaborate on research in order to help find the genetic components of diseases in humans. Geisinger is one of the largest health systems in the United States, serving over three million US residents. Regeneron is a drug company that focuses on researching, developing, and distributing drugs that combat rare and serious medical conditions, some of which are passed on through hereditary means. The research pairing is set to last for a five year term, which could be renewed if the results are favorable.
Officials from both companies are excited and optimistic about the pairing. Dr. Glenn D. Steele Jr., President of Geisinger Health System, said, "We are very excited about this new endeavor. We believe that over time, this will yield significant breakthroughs that will benefit patients at not only Geisinger, but around the world." Steele also stated that, initially, the project will be mostly a private endeavor. The team will not announce the names or identities of any individuals participating. "We take privacy very seriously. Since 1996, when we started our electronic health records journey, we have gone to great lengths to protect privacy and we will continue to do so with patients participating in this study."
Steele believes that the research has great potential because of the financial backing of both companies and the relatively large size of the study. Both companies foresee the pairing as helping to improve patient care, and one that could result not only in new drugs, but in new technology that could help screen genetic diseases before symptoms show.

They have a view most would envy, but the allure of seasonal lakeside living is fading for some camp owners along Fairfield Pond."Used to be a three-quarter inch line all the way down and over to the pump," said Harold Greenia. In the last week, police say thieves have targeted at least eight camps on Napoli Road in Fairfield and four more on Sandy Point Road in Swanton."The number one thing these criminals are looking for is copper piping," said Vt. State Police Tpr. John Bruzzi.Plumber Harold Greenia took us into the basement of one vandalized home -- pointing out the busted brackets that used to hold the camp's copper piping. The frustrated homeowner declined an on camera interview but said she called Greenia to survey the damage. "She was kind of surprised. She called me up and she said, 'They hit us again Harold,'" Greenia said.Police say it's not uncommon for thieves to target camps this time of year. Many owners have buttoned up for the season, leaving the remote homes unattended. Police say the thieves break-in after dark and are out within a matter of minutes, carrying copper they plan to convert to cash. "When they're getting the copper they're able to offload it fast. It's very difficult to track and by getting that they can turn it into money extremely fast," Tpr. Bruzzi said.State law does require salvage yards to ID anyone selling them copper, but police say the challenge is connecting that copper to the copper stolen from these camps. "So they're actually doing a good job ID-ing people and telling how much they brought in, but the fact that it gets offloaded so quick makes it very difficult to say, yeah that copper pipe is from this camp," Tpr. Bruzzi said.Police say this rash of burglaries may be different. The brazen thieves not only clipped the pipes visible from the outside, but they also broke into a few of the homes and left evidence behind."Once this stuff gets down to our lab and I figure out some other angles here, we're hopefully going to come up with a suspect pretty quick," Tpr. Bruzzi said.In the meantime, police recommend that camp owners install motion sensor lighting, hire caretakers, and ditch their copper piping for a plastic substitute called Pex piping. It's a third of the cost and worthless to thieves. "The number one thing they look under a camp and see copper, they're going to take it. They notice you've got Pex piping, they're moving onto the next one," Tpr. Bruzzi said.An expense to camp owners that just may lead to priceless peace of mind.

The Abbey was just what I needed. There's so much going on there yet it's peaceful and calming. The staff was helpful, the resort was beautiful, and the room was amazing. They overbooked the type of room we had selected and comped us to a harbor view suite. It was amazing! I've decided that this trip must be repeated yearly.
The only complaint I had was the cleanliness of the outside of the buildings. Many cob/spider webs with bugs/spiders attached. Not something that I want to fight off while relaxing on my balcony.

The pool area was spotless! Towels available all the time! The room service staff were so friendly and helpful. My kids stated they wanted to come back again. They are usually the reason we travel, so if they say it was great, it usually is.
The picture of the pool on your website is the spa pool that kids are not allowed to. That I felt was a little goofy! Family pool was good, but the pool a is major agenda when picking a place to stay! So I feel like that was false advertising.

The views are amazing, the Highlands golf course could compare to many top Country Clubs I've played. Loved the free use of beautiful spa facilities. Hotel is Frank Lloyd Wright inspired, clean lines warm wood tones, well thought. Enjoy your break!
The pool is too small to accommodate the numerous family's with small children and blow up float toys. I had to ask the staff to tell the children to take their float toys out of the jacuzzi, keep your eyes open or you might get slapped with a duck.About 7 min to downtown Lake Geneva. Rent a speed boat or Waverunners, so much fun. If your a family with small children they will love the indoor water park. Older children might like horseback ridding or the use of indoor tennis courts, rock wall ect.

I liked the paint colors of the exterior. That's it.
The bed was like the beds you slept in for summer camp. Hard and unforgiving. The TV was born sometime in the 1990s. No iron in the room. I thought there would at least be an iron in every room. No elevator. I have bad knees and to walk upstairs w/bags.There was a man who put a parking cone in front of his room. I parked there just to check in and he came out and asked me to move my car. There were less than twenty spaces to park and more rooms than parking spaces. The was big, but spare. Truly a bare bones deal. A hair above a trucker stop hotel as far as comfort wise. The staff was friendly. I figured out the parking space guy had to work there are be a relative of the owner which was creepy. The location was good. 20 minutes from Lake Geneva. A mile from Walworth.

We will return!!
Poor 2.0
This was the worse experience at a spa. It was the complete opposite of relaxation. The receptionist was snotty and unorganized. The spa itself makes you feel like you're in a dungeon. My massage felt more like someone trying to start my body on fire by rubbing their hands on my back as fast as possible until the lotion started to heat by back. The pedicure basins were filled with cold water, or at least it was cold by the time my friend and I arrived to our pedicures. I paid twice as much for this pedicure as I would at another salon and I received less than a 1/4 of the services as normal. The only service that wasn't unsatisfactory was the facial. It took over 40 minutes for my friend and I to check out for our packages and additional time to correct the 46 dollar overcharge fee added to her bill. This was the worst $250 spent on a spa package. I even wrote a letter to the general manager expressing how displeased we were with our day - no response - seems to be a great service reco...

Is it time to start considering next season (providing there is a next season)?
Yes the Bengal's are not mathematically out of the race for the post season, but I feel confident that a poll of this site would find most agreeing that the 2010 season is over. Well over at least in regards to the playoffs, so what should the Bengal's do for the rest of the season?
I think it is time to think about the next season. At some point in a season when the playoffs are no longer a viable option it's time to look to determine what changes are needed for next year. It is time to see how young players play in real games, and see what the team needs to address in the draft. The Bengal's have a number of players that need to be judged in games to determine can they play in this league.
Dhani Jones has been a great player for the Bengal's, but he is not the future of this team. Despite leading the team in tackles, Jones has typified this year's defense; he's been a step slow and emotionally flat. I hate doing it, but the Bengal's have to slide either Rey Maualuga or Keith Rivers to the middle and see who will be the defensive quarterback for this team in the years to come. Rey Maualuga was a middle linebacker in college, but can he do it in the Pro's? Can he take over calling the defense? If you do move Rey Maualuga over does Michael Johnson get the start? Is Michael Johnson ready to start? If Maualuga and Johnson are not the answer, is Keith Rivers the answer as the middle linebacker? He was not a middle linebacker in college, but could he do it in the Pro's? If he moves over do the Bengal's start Brandon Johnson? Brandon Johnson is the best cover linebacker the team has, and I think all denizens of Cincy Jungle will agree that our linebackers' coverage has left a lot to be desired.
What about the Defensive line? This has been just a complete mess this year. The decline in our defense this year can be completely laid at the feet of the defensive lines inability to put any pressure on opposing quarterbacks. I don't expect this to be fixed this year, I don't think inserting Carlos Dunlap or Michael Johnson into the starting line-up will suddenly inject a pass rush into this defense, but I do believe playing time can help them learn and improve for the next season. Is there any reason to give Antwan Odom extended minutes when he returns? What about Robert Geathers? Would it not be better to give more time to our younger players and see what they can do? For that matter I would not mind bringing up Clinton McDonald and see if he can play. He hustles in the preseason; let's see if it can carryover into the regular season.
Our secondary? Still the strength of this defense, and this team should bend over backwards to resign Johnathan Joseph, but as he is banged up along with Leon Hall, lets see more of what Morgan Trent and Brandon Ghee can do. Let's see if Reggie Nelson can be a starter and if Rico Murray and Tom Nelson can be more than just roster filler and special teams.
Then there is the offense. I know there are no quick fixes, but let's see what Anthony Collins can do, and if a better line combination is Collins at tackle and Andrew Whitworth at guard. I have really liked Bobbie Williams, but maybe it's time to see if Reggie Stephens can play guard.
It has to be obvious that Jerome Simpson is never going to do anything, why not cut him and bring back Brisco from Tampa Bay, and see if he can be the second wide receiver of the future? Do we really keep Foschi, or do we give Chase Coffman a chance? Do we keep Cedric Peerman or do we get a true fullback and bring back Chris Pressley and see if this team can do better with a real fullback? Or maybe we keep Peerman and let Reggie Kelly go. I'm surprised to suggest it, because I had always considered Kelly the bedrock of this team, a blue collar player who does the little things that a team needs to win, but let's face it, Kelly is not the player he was, and is not in the future of this team. Like Dahani Jones, I'm afraid Kelly can do little for us.
Now I know that most of the suggestions above will not be done, and most likely will not be contemplated, but that is where management will get it wrong. They will continue to insist that they are still competitive, and field a team that can't win. They will not admit it but, this season is for all intents and purposes done. There is no rebound with the teams we are fielding. They do not have the heart or the ability to turn the season around. Therefore this team should start playing their younger players, and start to evaluate the players of the future.

This beautiful before and after story comes straight from Downunder. Special thanks to Ricardo of rawfood.com.au for the link.
David's StoryAt the age of nineteen, I was diagnosed with stage two cancer. Throughout my whole ordeal, I treated my illness as though I had a minor cold. I had no doubt that I would survive the cancer and live a normal and healthy life; it was just a matter of getting through the barrage of chemotherapy sessions and the drugs that were highly toxic to my system. More.
Regina's StoryLooking back, a raw food lifestyle presented itself numerous times before I decided to jump in with both feet. My first introduction to raw food came after following up a personal ad in Kyoto, Japan. During the first encounter with my mystery date, he told me about how he just ate raw food and the amount of energy and vitality that he felt due to this lifestyle choice. I had to admit, the man looked vibrant with health, but I thought to myself, "What a weirdo! How could he just eat raw food?" More.

After trying almost every so-called cure to overcome his pain and suffering, Paul finally discovered the benefits of eating more simply. He started by getting rid of foods that were no good for him. Simplifying his diet was the first step in his cure."

Osborne and IDS: New benefits system will be 'fairer'
The benefits system will be "fairer" as a result of a raft of reforms taking effect from today, ministers insisted in the face of a backlash from churches and charities.
Chancellor George Osborne and Work and Pensions Secretary Iain Duncan Smith dismissed "shrill" criticism that made the shake-up sound like "the beginning of the end of the world".
Writing in the Telegraph, the two Cabinet ministers said: "Our changes will ensure that the welfare state offers the right help to those who need it, and is fair to those who pay for it.
"Of course, if you listened to the shrill voices of the Left you'd think that every change to the welfare system, and any attempt to save money, marks the beginning of the end of the world.
"In reality, we are just restoring the original principles of the welfare state: that those who can work must work, and a life on benefits must not be more attractive than working."

We use the term validity to refer to the approximate truth of an inference. When we say something is valid, we make a judgment about the extent to which relevant evidence supports that inference as being true or correct. Usually, that evidence comes from both empirical findings and the consistency of these findings with other sources of knowledge, including past findings and theories. Assessing validity always entails fallible human judgments. We can never be certain that all of the many inferences drawn from a single experiment are true or even that other inferences have been conclusively falsified. That is why validity judgments are not absolute; various degrees of validity can be invoked. As a result when we use terms such as valid or invalid or true or false in this book, they should always be understood as prefaced by 'approximately' or 'tentatively.' - Shadish, Cook, and Campbell, 2002, p. 34.

I honestly cant recall a draft like this where there has been so much uncertainty regarding how the draft will play out. So, I wanted to open it up to the board members to simply guess who you think they'll draft. Please do not include a reason, or a second choice or what your personal preference is. I simply want to know who you think they'll pick. On Thursday night we can all come back here and see who nailed it.
My guess: Arthur Brown
Again, no need to justify your guess. IF you think they'll trade back and not have a 1st round pick then you can say that as well.
Ok, so I need more words. Have you guys seen the ticket prices for this year? The Colts/Broncos game is outlandish. I bought tix to the Seahawks and the Rams game. After that I'll have a baby to take care of so I'll be watching from home.

Best Precious Metals
The most commonly known investment variety of precious metals is gold, silver, platinum, and palladium. Gold and silver traditionally are the two primary investment metals, with platinum and palladium being more secondary investments, as they are more commonly used for scientific and technological advances. Precious metals investments have traditionally been an ideal way to preserve and even supplement wealth, especially during times of economic strife, when printed, or fiat currency values decline, due to overprinting and rising inflation. Current global economic conditions are extremely dicey, as Wall Street investment confidence hovers at about zero, while U.S. dollar values continue to struggle, and an indeterminate inflationary period is all but upon us. Traditionally, these types of negative economic factors have generally tended to be advantageous for precious metals investors, and more and more novice investors want to know what the best precious metals investment is.
As I've stated many times, the best precious metals investments are the ones that accommodate each individual investor's own, specific financial needs and expectations. The only way to determine which are the best precious metals is to conduct a thorough, detailed evaluation of your own, specific financial needs. For example, an investor who needed to make a short-term profit would traditionally invest in gold bullion bars or coins, whereas someone who wanted long-term financial security would traditionally invest in rare gold coins, as their numismatic value tends to appreciate over time. Diversification of both types of investments is recommended, and interested investors are advised to contact a reputable, large volume precious metal dealer, like the Certified Gold Exchange, for expert consultation on precious metals investing, as well as competitive prices.

An Advanced Education in Patient Care: Visiting Doctors
Another example of Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai''s commitment to providing students with outstanding role models is our landmark Visiting Doctors Program. Visiting Doctors brings high-quality medical care to the homes of patients with complex and serious illnesses. Begun with just 23 patients in 1995, today it is the largest physician home visiting program in the United States, serving more than 1,300 homebound men and women throughout Manhattan. It serves as a model for similar programs around the country.
Every Icahn School of Medicine medical student and internal medicine resident participates in an intensive Visiting Doctors rotation. "Showing medical students and residents how to do a house call and seeing patients in their homes are really eye opening experiences for trainees. We hope that they understand the medical system and the complexities of caring for patients on a deeper level because of the experiences they have at Visiting Doctors," says Linda V DeCherrie, MD, Director of the Mount Sinai Visiting Doctors Program and Associate Professor of Geriatrics and Palliative Medicine.

Dean Zach of Central City has had his share of flood scares. None compared to the projections he heard Wednesday.
"That would have put water on our first floor," he said. "Just short of panicking, I got the posse together."
Now it appears Zach's flood protection measures weren't necessary. Twenty-four hours later, he feels better about the situation.
"We're not worried about the things we were in '08," Zach said.
The Wapsipinicon River was stable in Central City for most of the day Thursday, though a crest is expected sometime Thursday afternoon into Friday morning.
Homes on the river appear to have been spared so far, but officials are keeping a close eye on things. The crest appears to be significantly below the record levels projected Wednesday.
"If it doesn't get as bad, we're thankful for it, and if it does, we deal with it,' said Chris Oldfather with the Central City Fire Department.
Downstream, the Linn County Fairgrounds had taken on minimal amounts of water as of Thursday afternoon.
Officials say they stand by their decision to cancel this year's Fair, given the projections they were facing from the day before.
Predicting the flooding magnitude in Central City has been no easy task, given the lack of rain gages in between Independence and Central City.
"This year has been a little more difficult because it's been hit or miss in so many places," Oldfather said.

Students take a step into NYC
For the first time, the Broadway musical "In the Heights" will debut on a high school stage. And luckily for the Westminster community, it's happening in their backyard.
The Westminster High School CenterStage Theatre Company is presenting the production of "In the Heights" March 14-16.
"In the Heights" takes place over the course of three days in the New York City neighborhood of Washington Heights. It focuses on a community of people struggling to live the American Dream, while dealing with the heat of New York City, debt, gentrification, poverty and loss that threatens their dreams. But amidst these struggles, the characters survive the tough times with the help of family, music, home, dreams and dancing.
Theater director Andre Rodriguez is new to Westminster High School this year. He said he chose the musical because it's the only musical that he knows of that represents the Latino culture in a positive light, with Latino people doing positive things. He said he's never seen more energy and excitement from a cast in his career.
"This is the best cast I have ever worked with in my life," Rodriguez said. "Not only are the students talented, they are really kind and hardworking and just genuinely hungry to be good."
Erin Ramsey is the set director for "In the Heights." She said it was a struggle at first to design the set because she had seen the musical a few times. She focused on creating a design that would display what the Washington Heights neighborhood truly looks like.
"The design was mine, but the students have built and painted most everything themselves, with some assistance," she said. "We try to do, keep it as educational theater. They learn a lot about how hard it is to put up something that looks simple."
Sophomore Faith Angel is playing the role of Nina Rosario. When talking about the musical, her face lights up with excitement. She said this is the best production she's been a part of, especially because playing Nina Rosario is her dream role. She said hopes people come out to experience the positive journey the characters take in "In the Heights."
"It a huge honor to follow up with a performance of Nina Rosario, because she is one of my highest inspirations, "Angel said. "This is a feel-good musical. At the beginning everyone is struggling to find their home and by the end, everyone feel is very much at home."
"In the Heights" is running March 14-16 at Westminster High School, 6933 Raleigh St. The show begins at 7 p.m. and tickets are $8 for general admission and $10 for reserved seats. To order tickets, call 720-542-5415.

An update on that fatal accident Monday morning on the beltline in Burlington.
Gregory Burt, 56, of Colchester, was killed when his car collided with a school bus.
Police now say they have determined that Burt hit a deer just prior to the crash which caused him to lose control and veer into the path of the bus. Police say the icy conditions at the time may also have contributed to an inability to regain control after striking the deer.
Burlington police are asking anyone who may have found an injured or dead deer in the city or Colchester to contact them.

Our Research Catalogue contains grants and outputs data up until April/May 2014.
Introducing a novel research based tool in teaching psychology in the A levels
- Start date: 28 June 2012
- End date: 15 February 2013
PsyToolkit is a professional software package used in psychological research. It is used for designing, programming, and running psychological experiments typical in experimental cognitive psychology (eg, the study of memory, perception, attention). Now, we aim to use this software in teaching psychology at A-level.
Currently, A-level teachers have little access to software with the functionality of
PsyToolkit. We aim to reach the potential audience of psychology teachers in secondary education.
This project will likely be attractive internationally and in higher education as well. We will set up a web server providing an on-line version of the software which students and teachers will be able to use free of cost, as well as extensive online documentation. After the grant is over, the service will continue. As part of this, we will also explore user feedback to improve the service over time.

This just hit the web...
Sportsnet has learned Jacques Martin has been negotiating a potential buy-out with the Florida Panthers and that the Montreal Canadiens are very interested in hiring him as their next head coach.
Sources say Martin has multiple years left on his contract, but is willing to leave some money on the table to take the Canadiens job.
There's naturally pressure in Montreal to have a French-speaking figure behind the bench, and Martin certainly has the resume to earn another shot as head coach. The main criticism around him has been a lack of playoff success after leading some excellent regular season teams.

LUNGevity Foundation Awards Three Rising Lung Cancer Research Superstars
WASHINGTON, July 9, 2014 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- LUNGevity Foundation today announced the recipients of its 2014 Career Development Awards for Translational Research. The Foundation's goal for the Career Development awards is to support the nation's future research leaders who keep the lung cancer field vibrant with new ideas. Each of these highly competitive three-year awards is for $100,000 per year and renewable in the second and third years based on career and research progress. The 2014 Awardees will join the 2012 and 2013 cohorts of winners as ex-officio members of LUNGevity's world-class Scientific Advisory Board for the terms of their awards.
2014 Career Development Awards for Translational Research were made to:
These awards are in addition to LUNGevity's other 2014 translational awards granted through the Early Detection and Targeted Therapeutics programs.
"Given the federal cutbacks in cancer research spending, LUNGevity's support of young scientists is critical to ensuring that the lung cancer field continues to attract outstanding researchers committed to making lung cancer a survivable and beatable disease," said Andrea Ferris, President and Chairman of LUNGevity Foundation. "We are proud to advance the work of our three 2014 Career Development awardees as well as of our 2013 and 2012 Career Development awardees, whose research is already showing great promise."
The LUNGevity Scientific Research Program is supported by Genentech and individual donors. Dr. John Poirier's research award is co-funded by the American Lung Association.
The Foundation works with its Scientific Advisory Board, nineteen prominent scientists and researchers, and additional experts to ensure that grants are awarded to the proposals with the greatest potential for saving lives. Under the guidance of the Scientific Advisory Board, chaired by Dr. Pierre Massion, Professor of Cancer Biology and Professor of Medicine in the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine at Vanderbilt University Medical Center, LUNGevity has become the nation's premier private grant-making organization funding research for the early detection and effective treatment of lung cancer.
About LUNGevity Foundation
LUNGevity Foundation is firmly committed to making an immediate impact on increasing quality of life and survivorship of people with lung cancer by accelerating research into early detection and more effective treatments, as well as by providing community, support, and education for all those affected by the disease.
Our vision is a world where no one dies of lung cancer.

Everybody's making a pop record these days, and just as I started to get bored of that resurrected 80's synth pop sound, here's an album that sounds more like that 80's brit-guitar gloom, i.e. more Echo & the Bunnymen than Duran Duran. Thank God.
Invisible Invasion starts with the Echo-like creepy repetetiveness in "She Sings the Mourning," effective, though you can't help but think that the song really needs Ian McCulloch for that added dramatic punch. The guitar solos in this track and "Come Home" are spirited and strong. "Arabian Sand" feature straightforward guitar riffing and an eerie organ to support the unsettling lyrics: "The madman's in the desert/look out behind you/the madman's in the desert/looking to find you...looking to shoot you down," and another one of those satisfying solos rips through the middle of the song, and ends with a roaring blast of guitar and drums.
A Warning to the Curious is not as spirited, but it's one of the most grabbing songs on the CD for its underwater electronic octave climb blended nicely into the Echoesque guitar atmosphere. Late Afternoon is just plain pretty.

A Second Opinion - Holiday Ups and Downs
Sandra Edmonds Crewe | 12/8/2011, 2:11 p.m.
The holiday season is a special time. Many are celebrating the religious significance and others are simply making their lists and checking them twice, and dropping hints about what they would like to receive or plan on giving. Yet, others are dreading the season because of the added stress, financial hardship, loneliness, or memories of the past.
A poll conducted by about.com shows over 80% of participants reported that they found the holiday season to be stressful or somewhat stressful. In short, it seems that it is inevitable for the holidays to bring emotional ups or downs and sometimes both.
Many families have had to tighten their budget and realize that they will not be able to give in the manner they would like. For some, this belt tightening offers an opportunity to be creative and thoughtful about their gifts. These individuals and families are able to celebrate the joy of living and the meaning attached to the season. While they may experience stress, it is best characterized as "eustress"--stress that is positive. For them the hustle and bustle of the season is a challenge and they do not become overwhelmed or unhappy. They may be the last minute shoppers who enjoy the crowds and the search for that something special.
Unfortunately, others have a more difficult time adjusting to lean times and experience added stress. For them, the season adds yet another challenge that they are unable to conquer. The added preparation, family conflict, diet temptations, and absent family members during the holiday spirit fuels stress and/or depression. Caregivers are particularly vulnerable to added stress because they are already experiencing overload and the holidays adds yet another responsibility.
Here are some of the concerns that emerge associated with stress or depression during the holiday season:
- I can't afford to buy my children the toys and presents they want and other children will have
- The family expects me to prepare a lot of food, and I no longer feel like it - it's someone else's turn
- I hate to have to leave my home to celebrate with in-laws -- I want to begin my celebration at home
- The holiday season is sad because I am reminded of the death of a loved one
- The season has become so commercial -- I no longer enjoy it
Because of these reasons and many others, some individuals see the holidays as a downer. Some writers differentiate between holiday blues and holiday stress. Holiday blues relates more to a sense of sadness that people who have been important are no longer around. Maybe it's the empty chair at the dinner table, absence during religious services, or other family traditions. Memories of them during the season create an added sadness. This feeling of sadness for some becomes a downer for the entire season. For them, professional counsel is recommended because it may be more than holiday blues. They may be experiencing clinical depression. Without attention, the stress can ruin the holidays and can have long-term negative effects on the well-being of both the individual and their family.
