The workshops will meet at the Fourth Street Theater from 6 to 7:30 p.m. Sundays through Oct. 27.
"Our improv comedy classes have been filled with students from across Northwest Indiana since we started offering them last year. The interest in improv comedy is growing, especially with the return of shows like 'Whose Line is it Anyway?' on television," said Bob Craig, the director of Disposable Theatre and instructor for the classes.
The workshops cover the basics of improvisation; creating scenes, building an understanding of improvisation, performance games and stimulating creativity. There will be more advanced classes offered in the future and there may be performance opportunities with Disposable Theatre.
Tuition for the workshop is $100 and class size is limited to a minimum of eight and a maximum of 12 students. This class is for adults (college-age and up) only.
Send an email to firstname.lastname@example.com to register for the class or to ask any questions regarding the class.
The workshops will be taught by Bob Craig. Craig has been teaching, studying and performing improv for more than 20 years.

He is the director and founder of Disposable Theatre.
The Fourth Street Theater is located at 125 N. Fourth St. Visit Disposable Theatre's website at disposable-theatre-improv.com for more information about the group and upcoming performances.

Obit of the Day: David Lean's "Mr. Fixit"
While recovering from a leg wound, Eddie Fowlie wondered what he was to do after his World War II service. A fellow soldier in his ward recommended the film industry. Fowlie found his way in and truly enoyed himself.
His major breakthrough came while working with famed director Sir David Lean on Bridge Over the River Kwai, where Fowlie ensured that the titular bridge exploded…and that he drove the train that crashed into the river. Fowlie and Lean developed a close relationship and worked together on Lawrence of Arabia (Fowlie converted a Spanish town into an Arabian seaport) and Doctor Zhivago (Fowlie once again transformed the Spanish countryside, this time into an ice castle, using white marble dust). (Image uncited, but film was MGM studios.)
Fpwlie was known for doing whatever was necessary to fulfill a director's vision, whether it was doing stunts that stuntmen wouldn't or serving as a body double for Joan Collins - in a bikini!

Let me start by saying this addon is great and the coding is quite organised and well formatted, thank you for your efforts Nullberri.
But although I understand that Nulberri would like to keep PetBattle Teams in line with blizzard,
I myself wanted to do several things different slightly differently:
One of which was to assign a team "per" toon; So I have added a couple of lines to Nullberris code (posted below)
Please remember: I did this for myself and am simply sharing the change. There a few key short falls in this: the main one to keep in mind is Nullberri (as is his right as the Addon developer) has written the addon to be 'global' meaning even with my additions, if you modify a team on one toon it changes on ALL toons.
So in the lua file \World of Warcraft\Interface\AddOns\PetBattleTeams\modules\TeamManager.lua
Locate the "SetSelected" function,eg line that says: function TeamManager:SetSelected(teamIndex)
In that function under the line self.db.global.selected = teamIndex
Paste the following: (the Zanoroy is not to premote myself, simply so I can find the changes I have made, feel free to leave those lines out)
if self.db.global.toons == nil then
self.db.global.toons = {}
self.db.global.toons[UnitName("player")] = teamIndex
-- END Zanoroy --
if #self.teams ~= 0 and self:GetSelected() == 0 then
Locate the "OnInitialize" function,eg line that says: function TeamManager:OnInitialize()
In that function Change the following LINES:
-- Zanoroy --
to (Again the Zanoroy can be left off)
if #self.teams ~= 0 and self.db.global.toons and self.db.global.toons[UnitName("player")] then
elseif #self.teams ~= 0 and self:GetSelected() == 0 then
-- End Zanoroy --
Done: once you logon to your toons and select a team, it will be remembered... At least until the next update and you have to re-add the lines above.. ;)

Matthew Birt says:
Colin Edwards advised his Forward Racing MotoGP squad that Chris Vermeulen and Leon Haslam were his preferred options to replace him during next weekend's French Grand Prix at Le Mans.
The Texan will be absent from the French round after breaking his left collarbone in five places following an unlucky incident in Estoril last weekend.
Edwards was cruising way off the racing...

Given BMW's lions share of their market - would it be conceivable for BMW to run a single rider as a factory team in 2013 or 2014? I get the development costs would be 'astronomical' and it will be interesting to see how many Satelite bikes the top CRT biike beats over the season. Yes, I know they'll be having an off day and the CRT rider will be on the pace with a perfect setting but it's possible. In short, it's about presence - surely the right German sponsors could lead to a potential factory project? So yep - agree with Benny's comments - but the oppo is true if they dream whimsical, in which case - give the seat to Leon!!

I've said before that Leon Haslam has more outright motorcycle experience than just about anyone you care to mention in any paddock at any level (and still only 28 ) 125, 250, 500's and a good number of superbikes, he'd be a safe arse to plonk on most bikes. I agree he should focus on WSB but a wild card in MotoGP wouldn't harm him. I think they made the right choice with Vermin ultimately and he is more deserving of a chance, Leon is already sorted.

Choice # 1. Go retire and enjoy your .50 slamming your collarbone.
Choice # 2. Become a team CRT manager or something.
Another cork in the GP1 bottleneck.
Much as I have enjoyed Colin and too many to mention over the years , the +30 club are doing the sport no favours.
Cap technology at 1000cc and cap riders at 30 years of age in GP1.
They just get older, slower,more oppinionated and cumbersome.
Chris and Leon are on the cusp,so this selection is a moot point.

Agree both riders are deserving and capable. But one of Colin's two big choices is a bit of a non choice surely - BMW lawyers would have quickly pointed that out. So Colin has provided one big 'choice'.
Hehe bit harsh Bootlegger. Whilst we are at it lets have no smelly riders, no-one too tall, or too small of course or that can't speak two languages and one English of course. I don't know I think we have to stick with ability.

Not sure about an age limit or cap at 30+ as some riders can still be very competative well past 30.How ever I do see where you are coming from in that some of the older guys have gone off the boil so to speak.I tottally agree with you in that some riders should step down & let some new young blood into Moto GP.
Caparosi made the right move in retiring a while back & maybe Colin should do the same.He should give Super Bikes a go,just look at the success Max Biaggi has had.However if you are a CRT team new to Moto GP then a veteran like Colin is a real asset when it comes to developing youre bike.At the end of the day the teams pay the money & they make theyre choices.
Capping technology at 1000cc - Um ! Could cause quite a debate as Moto GP is suposed to be the pinacle of Motor Cycle racing with proto type machines.Should we Cap the technology ?
Personal opinion - People will argue to cap the technology will ruin Moto GP & the bikes should be pure prototypes used to develop road going machines.Question ? do we really need to make road going bikes any quicker ! NO.In this day & age certainly not,Im suprised the powers that be havnt baned or heavily restricted road going bikes so far with all the health & safety regulations & codes.We cannot justify the performance of 600 - 1000cc sports bikes as they are know,making them faster again is pure folly.Dont get me wrong I love fast bikes,I just cant JUSTIFY the performance for a road going vehcle.
Because of the nature of prototype racing it is extremely expensive & usually means that the team with the biggest wallet gets a considerable advantage over the rest.This also restricts the amount of teams that can afford to race & those who do race need to do well to justify the hugh amounts of money required to run a competative team.We have seen both the Kawasaki & Suzuki factory teams leave the Moto GP padock for this very reason.
I really dont think that prototype racing is very good value for money or even very exiting to be honest.For me Moto 2 is an amazing success & for Moto GP to follow suit but with 1000cc engines would be fantastic.I want to see close,competative exiting racing end off.Thats all I want,I dont care if they race 50cc scooters round the track as long as its good racing.Im not interested in the technology just the spectacle of close racing.

The reasons for the slow start are many, but overall there are some very encouraging things happening with this team. Starlin Castro, and Anthony Rizzo are the biggest reasons for encouragement. Lately they have been hitting and the Cubs are scoring a lot of runs. As go these two so go the Cubs. lately both have been on a tear. This past home-stand Against the Phillies, and Pirates both Rizzo and Castro hit .500. Both have played great defense too. Castro has had 2 miscues early on, but aside from those has been spectacular in the field. Looks like the panic early on that these two would fade into oblivion are all but distant memory.
To piggy back on the offensive rejuvenation banter it has to be an encouraging sign that Junior Lake, Mike Olt, and even Wellington Castillo have been hitting the ball with authority lately. Lake has spectacular ability, and can be dynamic on offense, but his defense has been a real encouragement as he's been getting good jumps on the ball and playing fundamentally. Olt was a concern and been kind of written off after having vision issues last season, but he looks like a legitimate right handed power hitter who can give you plus defense at the hot corner. Castillo has been calling a good game and looks to be a better leader behind the plate, and has been getting good wood on the ball of late. He can be a future all star at catcher maybe even as early as this season. Emilio Bonifacio has been beyond a pleasant surprise. Playing all over the field, and getting on base at an alarming rate, and wreaking havoc on the base paths. He may turn into the best value signing in the entire free agency period this season. Even Darwin Barney has looked promising at the plate with a renewed patient approach. Seems like he's buying into the organizational philosophy and maximizing his value as more than just an all glove player, and offering an above value offensive game.The starting pitching has been amazing! With the exception of Edwin Jackson's last start they've been among the most impressive staff's in all of major league baseball. Jason Hammel looks like another great value signing by the Epstoyer regime. Travis Wood just had the latest dominant performance, and could easily be 2-0. Jeff Samardzija has been pitching like the ace the organization, and himself have been hoping he'd be. Carlos Villanueva put in a good days work in his one outing so far this season as a replacement player. Jake Arietta is getting closer to the big leagues with two impressive rehab assignment starts, and when he does that knocks Villanueva down into the bullpen.
As for the bullpen there have been some encouraging performances. Despite the recent game where they gave away a 4-0 lead, and giving up 5 runs for a 5-4 loss they've been doing well and have been hard to square the ball up on. Carlos Rondon, Pedro Strop, and Justin Grimm have filthy stuff and have been making bats miss. Looks like that trio is going to be counted on to be a core part of the pen for the permanent future. On top of that there are arms in the minors waiting to get called up. Flame throwers like Arodys Vizcaino, Neil Ramirez, Armando Rivero, are throwing smoke in the minors, and will likely be up at some point this season.Blake Parker is another pitcher who figures to contribute to the big club this season, and had a nice debut with the Cubs in 2013. Brian Schlitter has been a surprise too. James Russel has struggled, but has pitched a lot. Perhaps a rest would do the trick to rejuvenate his arm. Zac Rosscup, Chris Rusin, and Eric Jokisch could add valuable left handed arms to the mix. In AA, Armando Rivero is throwing 97 mph with a solid slider and improving command. So the relief situation look like a good one developing right before our very eyes.
The development of the players that figure to be a part of the core is still the real goal going forward. That part of it looks to be right on target.

The Evolution of the Werewolf and Bigfoot
Posted by The Curator on Tue Jun 30, 2009
Brian Regal, a historian of science at Kean University in New Jersey, has an interesting theory about the relationship between werewolves and Bigfoot. He notes that hundreds of years ago werewolves were very prominent in popular culture. But during the past 150 years the werewolf's place in popular culture has declined, while Bigfoot has grown enormously in popularity. He attributes this shift to the theory of evolution. From Science Daily: From the late 19th century onwards, stories of werewolf encounters tailed away significantly, says Regal. "The spread of the idea of evolution helped kill off the werewolf because a…

Official verdict: Steorn didn't develop free energy technology
Posted by The Curator on Tue Jun 30, 2009
Back in August 2006, the Irish company Steorn declared it had developed "revolutionary free energy technology." To back up its claim, they ran an ad in the Economist inviting a jury of independent experts to scrutinize its claims. It's been almost three years, but the jury has finally delivered its verdict. The unanimous verdict of the Jury is that Steorn's attempts to demonstrate the claim have not shown the production of energy. The jury is therefore ceasing work. So the whole thing was a big waste of time. The mystery is…

In 1945 there was a fake death craze following Roosevelt's death
Posted by The Curator on Tue Jun 30, 2009
The fake celebrity death toll following Michael Jackson's death continues to rise. The body count so far: Rick Astley (found dead in a Berlin hotel room), Natalie Portman (fell off a cliff), George Clooney (fell off a cliff), P. Diddy, Jeff Goldblum (fell off a cliff), Harrison Ford, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Ellen DeGeneres, Louie Anderson. The media is describing this death rumor craze as an internet phenomenon. Of course, the internet is the medium through which the rumors are circulating. However, such death rumor crazes are not unique to the internet. There have been similar crazes in the past. The only difference now is that, thanks to…
More Celebrity Death Hoaxes
Posted by The Curator on Mon Jun 29, 2009
It's been the week of the celebrity death hoax, triggered by the real-life deaths of a string of celebrities (Ed McMahon, Farrah Fawcett, Michael Jackson, and Billy Mays). The recent celebrity death hoaxes have included: Jeff Goldblum, Harrison Ford, Louie Anderson, Ellen DeGeneres, Britney Spears, and Miley Cyrus. In the case of Jeff Goldblum and Louie Anderson, the fake deaths were simply old rumors that were recycled. But in the case of Britney Spears, Ellen DeGeneres, and Miley Cyrus, pranksters hacked into their twitter accounts to post false death announcements.

Museum of Hoaxes on Twitter
Posted by The Curator on Sun Jun 28, 2009
I recently created a twitter page for the Museum of Hoaxes, so if you're on twitter, check it out. I'm pretty inept at this social networking stuff. I created a personal twitter page months ago, but almost never posted to it. Hopefully I'll be more disciplined about tweeting on the MOH page. There may be a bit of a learning curve, because I still haven't figured out all the twitter lingo. RT is the only abbreviation I understand. But I'm excited that I already have nine "followers," and I hadn't even told anyone about the page yet.

At 9 a.m. George Terry Dinnie left his house to walk Buckley, his bouvier des Flandres. When he returned, an hour-and-a-half later, he discovered that his 2500 gallon pond had disappeared. He figures someone took it, though he doesn't know why or how someone removed that much water: "They pumped the water out faster than I can fill it up again. It's as weird as weird can be." Something fishy is going on. That's for sure. [morning call]
Astrologer arrested for making prediction
Posted by The Curator on Sat Jun 27, 2009
The Sri Lankan government recently arrested the astrologer Chandrasiri Bandara. Unfortunately, it wasn't because he was peddling pseudoscience, but because his predictions had political implications they didn't like. He had foreseen that a planetary change on October 8 would be inauspicious for the government, and that it wouldn't be able to contain rising living costs. [BBC]

Students hoax Paris Match
Posted by The Curator on Fri Jun 26, 2009
A pair of French students attending Strasbourg university won first place in Paris Match's photoreporting competition, a prize that came with €5000. But upon receiving the prize, they revealed that all their photos had been staged. From the British Journal of Photography: Guillaume Chauvin and Rémi Hubert won for a reportage chronicling the harsh difficulties some poor students encounter while studying at the Strasbourg university. Their images showed students living in basements or offering sex to pay their rents. Another image portrayed a young man falling asleep in a bus as he embarked on a two-hour commute to his university. The reportage can be seen on Paris Match's website here. The…

Pranksters move Loch Ness signs
Posted by The Curator on Fri Jun 26, 2009
Pranksters in Inverness have made it even more difficult to find Nessie by moving the road signs for Loch Ness so that they point in the wrong direction. The leading suspects are concert-goers attending the RockNess music festival. But here's the part of the article I found interesting. One resident "likened the alterations to World War II, when the authorities removed signs to prevent German soldiers from navigating their way round the country if they invaded." I didn't know that had been done during WWII. I can't imagine that a lack of road signs would have significantly slowed down a German invasion. [Press and Journal]
Jeff Goldblum isn't dead, nor is Harrison Ford
Posted by The Curator on Fri Jun 26, 2009
In the wake of the news of the death of Michael Jackson and Farrah Fawcett, a rumor that Jeff Goldblum had also died began to circulate. Reportedly he died when he fell off a cliff while filming a movie in New Zealand. Then a rumor surfaced that Harrison Ford had died on board a yacht cruising off the coast of St. Tropez. Both Ford and Goldblum are still alive. In fact, the Goldblum rumor was simply a rehash of a three-year-old rumor that originally involved Tom Hanks falling off a cliff, and later Tom Cruise. Maegan has posted more details in the forum. Some links:…

Does Farrah Fawcett's hair spell "SEX" in her famous poster?
Posted by The Curator on Thu Jun 25, 2009
In honor of Farrah Fawcett, let's revisit one of the major urban legends of the late 1970s: that the curls of Fawcett's hair, in her famous red-bathing-suit poster, spell out the word "SEX." This legend arose to explain the incredible popularity of the poster, which sold over 12 million copies (by some accounts). It was always a bit of a mystery why that image in particular became such a focus of popular fixation. After all, there were plenty of other posters of scantily clad attractive young women. The subliminal seduction theory offered a seemingly plausible explanation. The poster was so popular, according to this theory, because the brains of young…

Michael Jackson Dies… For Real
Posted by The Curator on Thu Jun 25, 2009
It appears that Michael Jackson has died, which is only worth mentioning here because in addition to being the "King of Pop," he was also the King of the fake death rumor. Even The Onion satirically predicted his death back in 2005. But this time, it seems to be for real. Now the "he faked his death" rumors can start.

Stoned Wallabies Make Crop Circles
Posted by The Curator on Thu Jun 25, 2009
Traditional explanations for crop circles: 1) Drunken pranksters; 2) tourism councils; 3) UFOs; 4) whirlwinds; 5) magnetic vortices. To this we can add a sixth: stoned wallabies. Posted by Beasjt in the forum: WALLABIES are hopping into Tasmania's opium poppy fields and getting high. The revelation has also solved what some growers say has spurred a campfire legend about mysterious crop circles which appear in the state's poppy paddocks. In true X-Files style, Attorney-General Lara Giddings said yesterday the drugged-up wallabies had been found hopping around in circles squashing the poppies, creating the formations. [Link]

Fake Chinese 'Made in India' Garments sold in Nigeria
Posted by The Curator on Wed Jun 24, 2009
The commerce department of India is considering filing a formal diplomatic complaint against China because of Chinese garments being sold in Nigeria with fake "Made in India" tags. I'm sure it's a serious diplomatic matter, but if you could just somehow add a Russian gangster and a Spanish prisoner into the mix, you'd have a perfect storm of scam artists. [Economic Times]

Healing Grief and Loss
The object of grief and loss counseling is to discover the deeper meaning of the loss you
have experienced. First, let us take an example of losing someone whom you loved deeply and who was ultimately the most important person in your life. This person has
died, passed away, gone to God; she or he is no longer in your immediate environment with whom to talk, hold, breath one, be breathed on, to nurture and be nurtured; only memories and a burning love in your heart exist for that person. This will never die, and is a testament, not only the this important person with whom you totally loved and felt totally loved by; it is also a testament to your own capacity to love, give, care, The object of grief and loss counseling is to discover the deeper meaning of the loss you communicate, empathize with, and nurture. That this kind of love was in your life, probably for a long time, is a wonderful thing in and of itself; and no doubt you feel lucky to have had this person in your life. So, you a...
Healing Grief: Help For Grief Online
Grief is an overwhelmingly painful experience when you've lost someone you love through separation or death. The bond of love and attachment to your loved one is not easily broken and usually remains after the loss of your loved one - at least for a while.
My practice in Grief Coaching & Grief Counseling online provides many resources for healing grief whether it be simple grief that is healed faster or complicated grief that generally lingers longer. In both cases the pain of the loss is very real, hard to cope with it and debilitating for a while. With the right kind of assistance to move through it, you will heal. My sessions are available online via secure, encrypted and confidential video-conferencing or locally at my offices in Santa Fe, NM or Durango, CO. Appointments can be made online at www.BrendaDiller.com

Release Trauma and its Immoblizing Effects
Traumas come in many forms. Some types of traumatic events that perpetually victimize a person's mind include rape, incest, childhood abuse, witnessing the death of friends or family, or fearing for life and limb in dangerous situations like members of our armed forces. Additionally, accidents of various types (car, sports injuries), even being dropped suddenly by an ex (relationship break-up), can lead a person to code the event in their mind and body with self-destructive effects and consequences. Traumas have varying degrees of intensity, time frames, and complexity. Even though the type of traumatic event differs from person to person, does not make what happened any less important or life-impacting. Unresolved traumas either immobilize a person or have a way of leaking into other areas of life.
A trauma is the memory of an unpleasant, devastating event(s) associated with strong debi...

To Bear Witness
My own experience with loss, is the key to my ability to "Bear Witness". I have been considered an excellent therapist while working with women and their families for the last 15+ years. I have been tasked with speaking to hospice conventions and training mental health first responders. I thought myself to be "right up there" with the best professionals concerning these topics. I always knew, my faith was a strong component to my ability to reach a woman in pain. I did not know until, I, myself, endured a completely, unexpected and unimaginable loss God had a deeper plan for me. It was after integrating this great loss, God showed me His plan. I am not a "miracle worker". Your pain will not be transformed after a set period of time. A person's loss and her ability to mourn, "grieving outloud", is a grossly painful and very natural part of this life. I call my practice, Somewhere In Between, because once we suffer the loss, we are in that place. We yearn for the past, but can neve...
Grieving - A Soft Opening of the Heart
Originally puplished August 30, 2012 on Soul-Spirit Integration's website
Anodea Judith names grief as the "demon of the heart chakra1". She states that the frequent disappointment of our striving for love and connection — with others and the world at large —results in loss of hope, and perpetual, suppressed grief. This grief turns in on itself, hardens the heart to protect it from more pain and leaves us bitter, hopeless, and even more isolated.
In the western world we live in a society that is uncomfortable witnessing the pain of loss. We medicate our feelings of sadness and pain with pills, alcohol, or extreme activity. We have learned that to be well means to be happy at all cost and grief is not a happy feeling — thus it must be 'bad'. An article in The Lancet2 discusses the increasing trend to medicalize grief as depression. Instead of allowing an individual to go through his or her grieving process in his or her own way, society incre...
Beach time & Quilting: Real World Advice on Coping with Depression & Loneliness, Part I
I so often write about dealing with depression, loneliness, hopelessness, and other difficult, dark times. I do this because we all go through challenging periods, but many of us rarely talk with our friends and loved ones about how we cope and find our way. Usually, I'll write about the suggestions I give to clients, the ways my clients cope, or advice from other clinicians. This time, though, I'm doing something different, with the hope that this will be helpful as well.
I wrote the following status update on my personal Facebook profile: I want to write a blog post on how people get themselves through times where they are lonely, depressed, and or hopeless…but I want to write about what real people do, not my suggestions. So, I'd love to hear what you do for yourself in such times. You can message me for anonymity's sake, or feel free to post here as well. I won't mention your name in the blog post though.
What I received were some very heartfe...
Staying Sane in the Face of Infertility
In a recent Washington Post column a woman having trouble with conception finds herself jealous of a friend's pregnancy announcement. The advice given in the column sounds simple, but is there a tried and true way to stay positive in the face of infertility? The simple answer is "no". However, there are many ways to stay sane in this life crisis. By acknowledging and processing the emotions and developing coping skills while also getting adequate help you can keep the rest of your life from getting swallowed by the abyss of infertility.
First of all, it is possible to have intense sadness for yourself while being truly happy for a pregnant friend. These two emotions can exist together but be extremely confusing. After congratulations are given, in a non-public arena be honest with your friend about your torn feelings. If you just start avoiding or isolating yourself with no explanation, your friendship is sure to suffer. Simple and private is best, such as "Whi...
Avoiding the Traps of Depression
Imagine yourself walking along in the woods of life when you step on what looks like fallen leaves and find yourself falling into a deep hole in the ground. You are unable to get out of the deep, dark, damp, and unbelievably sad pit in the ground. This trap isolates you from those you care about; the hobbies and work you love; and good nutrition and ability to exercise. Due to this trap, you are unable to think positive thoughts and gloom continually runs through your head because all hope is gone. There is no way out and it is easy to slip into the darkness within this pit of despair.
Not everyone experiences the trap of depression like in the metaphor above, but the commonality lies in the fact that depression has traps that can worsen the symptoms of depression. The traps preserve the awful cycle of pain and hopelessness. If you are currently experiencing depression, all of these behaviors can deepen your misery.

Signs of Depression in Adults
Signs of Depression in Adults
PLEASE NOTE: this list is NOT intended to diagnose or treat you. See a licensed mental health provider or medical professional for proper diagnosis and treatment.
Most people get "the blues" sometimes that last a day or two. However, Major Depressive Disorder is a SERIOUS and often FATAL illness that occurs in approximately 6.7 percent of US adults. Medications can be helpful, but come with side effects that many people cannot tolerate. Medications will NOT cure the mistaken belief system causing the depression.
Without talk therapy to both uncover the root cause of the depression and learn ways to manage it, depression can persist despite medication. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, can help you uncover the beliefs you carry about life without even knowing it. These beliefs often contribute to depression below your level of awareness. Once uncovered, I can help you face and refute the irrational thoughts and replace them with healthy, ...

Netanyahu Takes A Lonely Stance Denouncing Iran
By Jodi Rudoren, NY Times, October 11, 2013
JERUSALEM—Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel, the son of a historian, often complains to his inner circle that "people have a historical memory that goes back to breakfast."
But when Mr. Netanyahu has recently tried to focus the world on the Iranian nuclear program, using ancient texts, Holocaust history and a 2011 book by Iran's president, Hassan Rouhani, he has sometimes come off sounding shrill. As six major world powers convene next week to negotiate on the nuclear issue with Iran's new leadership, the Israeli leader risks seeming frozen in the past amid a shifting geopolitical landscape.
Increasingly alone abroad and at home, where he has lost several trusted aides and cabinet colleagues, Mr. Netanyahu has stubbornly argued that if people would just study the facts, they would surely side with him.
With a series of major speeches—three more are scheduled next week—and an energetic media blitz, Mr. Netanyahu, 63, has embarked on the public-diplomacy campaign of his career, trying to prevent what he worries will be "a bad deal" with Iran. Insisting on a complete halt to uranium enrichment and no easing of the economic sanctions he helped galvanize the world to impose on Iran, Mr. Netanyahu appears out of step with a growing Western consensus toward reaching a diplomatic deal that would require compromise.
But such isolation is hardly new to a man with few personal friends and little faith in allies, who shuns guests for Sabbath meals, who never misses a chance to declare Israel's intention to defend itself, by itself.
"Netanyahu is most comfortable predicting disaster, scaring people into doing something," said Mitchell Barak, a Jerusalem political consultant who worked for him in the early 1990s and has watched him closely since. "The problem is now he's lost momentum. His message is clear, his message is the same, the situation is the same, but everyone else's perspective has changed."
Over the past year, Mr. Netanyahu and his wife, Sara—a psychologist whom many Israelis criticize for everything from her purported temper to her child-rearing methods—have withstood mini-scandals regarding their spending on vanilla and pistachio ice cream (about $2,800 a year), makeup and hairstyling ($18,000 in 2012) and the installation of a bed for a flight to Margaret Thatcher's funeral ($140,000). The prime minister's stance on Iran, his signature issue, though, is popular with the public.
If he seems a solo act on the world stage, Mr. Netanyahu is also increasingly a one-man show in Israel, doubling as his own foreign minister. Gone from his cabinet are several colleagues with security credentials whom he considered peers.
Iran has been Mr. Netanyahu's priority—many say obsession—since 1996, when he warned of the nuclear threat in a speech to Congress shortly after becoming prime minister for the first time. During the next three years he revamped Israel's intelligence agenda to focus on Tehran. As leader of Israel's opposition from 2006 to 2009, he made it a personal mission to persuade American state pension funds to divest of Iranian holdings. And since returning to Israel's premiership in 2009, he has led the charge for sanctions against Iran, in part by threatening a unilateral military strike.
Critics and admirers alike say it is a Messianic crusade. Mr. Netanyahu is not religious, but he does see himself as a leader of destiny.
"We're here for a purpose—I'm here for a purpose," he said Thursday night. "Which is to defend the future of the Jewish people, which means to defend the Jewish state. Defending it from a nuclear Iran.
"I'm not going to let that happen," he added. "It's not going to happen."

3. Can behavioral or cognitive features be used to define the disorder?
4. Is there a role for ancillary measures (e.g., magnetic resonance imaging [MRI]) in making the diagnosis?
5. Can criteria be designed to be used across the life span?
6. What is the relationship of so-called fetal alcohol effects to fetal alcohol syndrome?
The committee studied the previous diagnostic criteria and felt that some of the issues confusing the clinical and research communities could be resolved with fairly minor changes (Table 1). The committee delineates five diagnostic categories. The rubric of Fetal Alcohol Syndrome contains criteria for (Category 1) FAS with a history of maternal alcohol exposure, (Category 2) FAS without a history of maternal alcohol exposure, and (Category 3) partial FAS with a history of maternal alcohol exposure. The naming of this diagnostic category was challenging for the committee, who found no perfect solution. The committee intends for this diagnostic category to include people with signs and symptoms attributable to significant prenatal alcohol exposure and who need medical, social services, and other attention. "Partial" denotes, to some people, that the condition might not be as severe, which the committee did not wish to imply. The committee settled on the use of "partial" despite these reservations.
Category 3 allows an FAS diagnosis to be given to someone who would not receive a Category 1 diagnosis, FAS with confirmed maternal alcohol exposure. A Category 3 diagnosis could be particularly useful, for example, for some patients who present for diagnosis as an adult. The natural history of FAS is such that some of the "hallmark" indicators used in infancy or childhood are not maintained into adolescence or adulthood. This diagnosis can also be used as a "holding" category as a means to defer a diagnosis of Category 1, FAS with confirmed maternal history of alcohol exposure, until more data collection or evaluation, including documentation as to whether behavioral and cognitive abnormalities persist over time, can support a more definitive diagnosis. In the newborn, for example, there is some controversy whether some behavioral abnormalities, such as abnormalities of state regulation, indicate or predict long-term dysfunction due to fetal alcohol exposure. In such cases, documentation of abnormalities over time would be important.
The committee has defined two other diagnostic categories: Category 4, alcohol-related birth defects (ARBD; physical anomalies only), and Category 5, alcohol-related neurodevelopmental disorder (ARND). Diagnostic categories 4 and 5 include clinical conditions for which clinical or animal research has linked maternal alcohol ingestion to an observed outcome. These final two diagnostic categories are intended to represent some degree of uncertainty whether prenatal alcohol exposure caused the adverse effects documented in an individual patient, or whether other factors were causative in this case. Because of the variability in the specific presentation of FAS, ARBD, or ARND, these diagnoses are most

Walking while texting can – OUCH! – end badly, say boffins
Scientists have proved what anyone walking down a crowded street in modern city knows: those who gaze at their phones while ambulating are a danger to themselves and others. Detailed here at PLOS ONE in research titled "Texting and Walking: Strategies for Postural Control and Implications for Safety", the authors explain that …
No shit, sherlock!
Really? It needed research project to confirm this?
I'm all for boffinery in any guise but anyone who has eyes (and not looking at their phone) can see this in every street nowadays. What would have been a useful outcome would have been to reveal the best angle and volume to shout "Oi, muppet" to cause maximum confusion to said anti-social phone using perambulator.
Re: No shit, sherlock!
Ah but you see anecdotal evidence is not the same as a very expensive year long scientific study. It's now PROVED!
Everyone knows that Popes are Catholic, and Bears poo in the woods, but if no-one has done a scientific study, you can't say that those are facts...
Re: No shit, sherlock!
Yes, it is from the department of the bleeding obvious but you do need the research if, for example, you're going to draw up rules on the use of devices while operating machinery.
"I'm all for boffinery in any guise but..."
... I'm strangely uninterested in the somewhat counter-intuitive finding that it is an *increase* in head movement that may be responsible, or that using kinematics to quantify the effects of distraction on motor control might be interesting or even have future applications.
If I may comment on your own research proposal, I think it would be useful to determine the approximate probabililty of getting into an unpleasant fracas by shouting 'Oi, Muppet!" at someone looking at their phone.
Re: No shit, sherlock!
The only dangerous thing that will happen is that if one more selfish bell-end has to get their phone out 0.2 seconds after they get a signal at the tube station, then dawdle out of the entrance tapping away on "FriendFace" or whatever is more important, while the rest of us try to refrain from pushing them over!
Want to check your phone? No problem, move out of the way and let everyone else, who has places to be, get on their way. Simple politeness and common sense is all I ask.
Re: No shit, sherlock!
Er... who *tries to refrain* from pushing them over?
I don't. The faster they pull out the mobile, the lower I drop my shoulder.
Re: No shit, sherlock!
The study isn't necessarily to confirm this happens, since I think there's enough news stories of idiots walking into fountains and traffic while texting to confirm it.
Rather, this is exactly the sort of study a health insurance company would love to have.
"In order to qualify for our lowest premiums, you need to go to a clinic for a series of blood and urine tests to confirm that you don't use alcohol or other drugs; are not pregnant (or planning to have a kid, rug rats are expensive to us, so we'll give you a further discount if you get sterilized); and don't have cancer.
"Further, you'll need to install this app on your phone, which utilizes the phone's accelerometer to determine if you're walking and texting, which is known to increase the rate of traumatic injuries over the normal population by 11.2%. Medical bills incurred from texting and walking will result in an increase in premiums."
Lawyers could also exploit this information for plaintiffs and the defense.
"These heartless corporations were only concerned for their shareholders when they put an addictive texting device in my client's hands despite scientific evidence that texting and walking leads to an 11.2% increase in traumatic injuries. They are solely responsible for him walking into traffic because of the distraction of texting..."
"The plaintiff's claims that Google, Verizon, and Samsung are responsible for him walking into traffic while texting are baseless, as it is well-established in scientific studies available to the public that one should not text while walking. Any reasonable adult should know to walk and text responsibly."
Re: No shit, sherlock!
> anti-social phone using perambulator.
Omitting the hyphen between "using" and "perambulator" entirely changes the meaning of that phrase.
Thing is, I think you might be right on the money as written...
A Game I Play
If I see someone walking along engrossed in texting, not a care in the world, not looking up and expecting everyone to jump out of the way, especially elderly people I feel that it is an arrogance gone too far.
They are extremely predictable ( like text ) and walk in a straight line not caring a hoot for anyone else. I position myself on the predicted path they are taking and just before the collision put my shoulder down step forward and.... Let them crash into me.
Oh the look of surprise on the suited figures lying on the pavement screaming at me. My response is always the same, that they need to look where they are going instead of being so engrossed in their phone, that they walked into me without looking. My parting shot is that I hope they don't text and drive.
Satisfying, though I do this as an equal opportunities crasher, favouring neither men or women, I just stop dead in front of women and let them walk into me. Using the shoulder technique would not be fair would it? Oh and pushchairs are a really good tripping device.
Re: No shit, sherlock!
"...and Bears poo in the woods..."
Well, there are numerous studies on that one, complete with an analysis of what the bear ate and what the residue was like.
Now, there's a study on idiots wandering about not watching where they're walking.
Test me, you'll see normal walking. When walking or driving about, it's a hearty "screw whoever it is" while I moving about.
They can damned well wait for me to get where I'm going.
Don't stop there,
continue the research using Glasshole volunteers with their Augmented Reality devices functioning while walking/driving and tell us how good it is(n't) for the rest of the world's safety..
re: you're going to draw up rules on the use of devices while operating machinery
Rule 1. Don't
Re: re: you're going to draw up rules on the use of devices while operating machinery
@ Purlieu
Rule 1a. Unless said device is part of the controls of said machinery (think GPS, instrument landing systems on yer average airliner - safer to use the devices than not)
Re: re: you're going to draw up rules on the use of devices while operating machinery
The study was titled "Texting and Walking: Strategies for Postural Control and Implications for Safety" so I'm hoping that the pilot is using the onboard equipment rather than walking up and down the aisle trying to do it from an iPhone
Maintaining a straight path
In a pedestrian environment my ability to maintain a straight path is usually hampered by other pedestrians. In other words, maintaining a straight path can and does lead to collisions - not even the look straight ahead and over their heads approach works anymore. Or did I miss something in the article?
Re: Maintaining a straight path
The point is that if you are also paying attention to your phone then your chances of collision go up. When half the pedestrian population is paying attention to their phone of course your chance of collision will go up even if you are paying attention because there are too many others to monitor and predict the paths of.
Re: Maintaining a straight path
"When half the pedestrian population is paying attention to their phone..."
Indeed. But paying attention to where you walk provides a better ability to fend of txting pedestrians, with elbows, arms, etc.
"Those measurements lead to a very detailed discussion of kinematics and other exercise-related stuff that make the innards of a CPU seem comfortingly simple. "
This biologist thanks you for that one. Wetware is much more complex than hardware though it is much more predictable than it likes to think it is. While trying to log in to my bank yesterday was anything but predictable.

The swines doing this who just stop in front of doorways and staircases...well I'll just say their chance of an "accident" goes up exponentially every time they do it in front of me in the train station during rush hour >.<
I refer to them as iZombies, because they're mindless (or rather, their mind is elsewhere). Very annoying, especially when they're driving the [still stationery] vehicle in front of you when the light turns green.
Old people are wont to do this,
only without the distraction of a mobile phone. But, oh, the fuss when you push one of them into the road...
Wow. Some scientists really are on the gravy train. I walk between Brindleyplace and Birmingham New Street every weekday and often have to avoid these people. I nearly walked into one woman who stopped to get her phone out right at the exit of Paradise Forum. That's just stupid on many levels - that's a congestion spot for pedestrians at the best of times. Doing it in front of me was especially risky - my average time for that journey is 10 minutes(*) so you don't want me colliding with you.
(*)1 mile according to Google.
I wonder if I can get a grant for a new study: Will you die if you step in front of a fast moving train?
I will need volunteers, and to make the study fair, I should test a cross-section of trains from around the world - surely the Japanese train system would be the most deadly, while the UK train service may have the highest chances of survival, due to delays...
I volunteer to head this research from various 5 star accommodations in major world cities, and will use the research money wisely - I will only refill the minibar once a day.
Think of the children
How many times do you see a mother with a few kids running about crossing a road while staring into a phone or endlessly speaking into one
Less often nowadays. I think the WWF has put them on the endangered list.
Re: Think of the children
Mother with kids in toe while mother yacks on the phone to someone else. I sometimes wonder what the psychological impact of that is on the kids. I don't have any of my own (and don't want any) but surely a mother should be interacting with her kids when they are with her?
Re: interacting with her kids
As in, "Get off my bloody toe!"
Guilty as charged…
It's not so bad if you're away from crowds, but this phenomenon happened to me once whilst fiddling with a hand-held GPS.
linux.conf.au 2012 walking back to my accommodation having sourced dinner, I was putting some waypoints into the GPS with the intention of recording details of where one might get food on OpenStreetMap later.
Muggins, not paying attention to where he was walking, walks straight into a 60km/hr speed sign!
So yeah, doesn't matter what mode of transport, WATCH WHERE YOU'RE GOING; collisions happen at any non-zero speed.
Re: Guilty as charged…
The pain of such "low-"speed collisions was one of the things that convinced me to always wear a seat belt when in a car. As in, if that is what 3mph feels like, I don't fancy hitting something at 30mph.
Anecdotal Evidence
Yep, it is bleeding obvious to anyone who walks down the street. So was the "fact" that the sun went round the earth every 24 hours. Then some bright spark decided that the opposite was true (despite being persecuted by Popes and possibly sylvan dwelling/defacating ursines). Once proven everyone went "oh yeah, that was obvious, dunno why that Galileo bloke wasted his time".
Now we know that our anecdotal evidence is correct and why, so we're straight into the "oh yeah, that was bleeding obvious" stage ;-)

The study is nowhere near as funny as actually watching someone walk off a pier.
Pity there's no video. Anyway, the phonetard "walked off the pier into the icy waters of the bay...". But exactly how icy is Port Philip Bay mid December?
Apparently not icy enough to cause what my mother would call "a knowledge bump".
The saddest part of this story is that there was no need to file a lost property report, because when they fished the stupid woman out of the water she was *still clutching the phone*.
Oh, and she also couldn't swim.
Other people who shouldn't text-and-walk include those who are unable to stop speeding cars with their bare hands.
So call me a curmudgeon
We've all seen the bumper sticker
I've often had the urge to shout
Eight cameras were used to record subjects' movement on an ~8.5m course
I would guess that 8.5m is about a dozen paces for the average person. It doesn't sound like you could get a significant sample of normal walking over that distance, even if you do use eight cameras.
How much texting can even a phone zombie do in the time it takes to cross a moderately large room?
Re: How much texting can even a phone zombie do?
The average teenager can communicate by SMS with 12.48 people, but by the time they reach the age of 25, that has probably dropped to a mere 8.7. By the age of 30, they may not be able to communicate at all.
Oh, I should have said. "Studies show that..."
And whatever you do...
... don't try chewing gum at the same time.
possibly some shit sherlock
People have been using the old 'Is the Pope a Catholic?', 'Do bears shit in the woods?' to imply a certain obvious answer, but the answers aren't in fact as obvious as some people might believe. It's not cut-and-dried...
Let's consider papal catholicity: There have been 266 occupants of the see of Rome (give or take a few anti-popes), and arguably all of these have been Roman Catholics. BUT we mustn't forget the other Popes - the Coptic Orthodox popes of Alexandria - all 118 of them. The Coptic Papacy was established before the Roman one. Clearly they aren't Roman Catholics, but they are Catholics, as in 'One holy, catholic and apostolic church' where Catholic = Universal.
So, averaged over the last 2000 years, we can say that approx 60% of popes were Roman Catholic, and at any given time at least 50% of the popes are Roman Catholic (but e.g. early 15th century when there were two anti-popes at the same time, then that rises to 75% were roman catholic or Avignon catholic), but yes all popes are Catholic, even if not Roman Catholic. BUT again...if Catholic is being used in the sense of universal, clearly as there are many churches claiming to be universal then in fact none of them are actually universal or catholic, so we can actually say none of the present popes are catholic.
See, I said it wasn't simple!
And when we turn to bears' lavatorial habits - what about polar bears?
Re: possibly some shit sherlock
Are bears Catholic? Does the Pope shit in the woods?
As for bears, the grizzlies and black bears in the Canadian Rockies seem to prefer cutlines and access roads, and the occasional highway...
The dangers of texting while walking
Because those indoor fountains are so hard to see:
Pedestrian fail
I was stopped at a red light at a busy intersection a few weeks ago. A young woman was crossing the street while looking at her phone.
She walked right into my right front fender, she hit hard enough that her face hit my hood. She started screaming at me for hitting HER. I started laughing so hard tears came to my eyes. She screamed something unintelligible and continued across the street and I drove away still laughing.
Research ...
My youtube research shows that dangers go far beyond stepping a few degrees off the straight path.
