For the past few years, the talk of The Lodging Conference in Phoenix had been focused on the economic recovery, solid industry projections and "cautious optimism." With the word cautious no longer necessary, the economic outlook took a backseat this year to the seemingly unending parade of new lifestyle brands.

2. and irrational at times. He felt that his life was in danger. To save himself, he remembered something he had learned about emotion in an executive development program at the Centre for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, North Carolina "Greensboro" redirects here. For other uses, see Greensboro (disambiguation).
Greensboro, North Carolina (IPA: [ɡɹiːnsbʌɹəʊ]) is a city in the U.S. state of North Carolina. .
Emotions are contagious and a single person can influence the emotional tone of a group by modelling. He first thought of getting his own emotions under control, quite a difficult task to achieve. He tried to calm himself and conveyed his calmness to his captives through his actions. He then realized that his captors also caught his calmness and became more rational. In retrospect when Dozier looked back on this episode, he was convinced that his ability to manage his own emotional reactions and those of his captors literally saved his life (Campbell 1990).
The term emotional intelligence (EI) had not been coined in 1981, but James Dozier actually experienced it live and gave us an initial framework to identify what it is: "The ability to perceive and express emotion, assimilate emotion in thought, understand and reason with emotion, and regulate emotion in the self and others" (Mayer et. al. 2000). Dozier could perceive accurately the emotional reactions of his captors, and he also diagnosed the danger that those reactions posed for him. By regulating his emotions and then expressing them effectively, he was able to manage the emotions of his captors. This experience illustrates EI in action.
Since then the concept of EI has become so popular in the management literature that it has become imperative to understand and be aware of the research and theory on which it is based. It is also useful to consider how EI is important for effective performance at work place. As the pace of change is increasing and world of work is making ever greater demands on a person's cognitive, emotional and physical resources, this particular set of abilities is becoming increasingly important.
Traditional measures of intelligence, although providing some degree of predictive validity In psychometrics, predictive validity is the extent to which a scale predicts scores on some criterion measure.
For example, the validity of a cognitive test for job performance is the correlation between test scores and, for example, supervisor performance ratings. , have not been able to account for a large portion of the variance in work performance and career success. As Goleman (1998) states, "When IQ test scores are correlated with how well people perform in their careers the highest estimate of how much difference IQ accounts for is about 25 percent (Hunter & Hunter 1984, Schmidt & Hunter 1981). A careful analysis, though, suggests that a more accurate figure may be no higher than 10 percent and perhaps as low as 4 percent" (Sternberg 1997).
However, the issue of separating abilities related to cognitive intelligence from abilities, traits, and competencies related to EI remains a complex one; all its definitions represent a combination of cognitive and emotional abilities (Cherniss 2001). This reflects the growing understanding in neuroscience that cognition and emotions are interwoven in·ter·weave

Defining Emotional Intelligence
Salovey and Mayer (1990) coined the term EI in 1990, while being aware of the previous work on non-cognitive aspects of intelligence. They described emotional intelligence as "a form of social intelligence that involves the ability to monitor one's own and others' feelings and emotions, to discriminate among them, and to use this information to guide one's thinking and action". In the early 1990's Daniel Goleman Daniel Goleman (born March 7, 1946) is an internationally renowned author, psychologist, science journalist, and corporate consultant. His parents were college professors in Stockton, California, where his father taught world literature at what is now San Joaquin Delta College, became aware of Salovey and Mayer's work, and this eventually led to his book, Emotional Intelligence.
John Mayer
For other people named John Mayer, see John Mayer (disambiguation).
John Clayton Mayer (born October 16, 1977) is an American guitarist and singer-songwriter. (1990), a University of New Hampshire New Hampshire, one of the New England states of the NE United States. It is bordered by Massachusetts (S), Vermont, with the Connecticut R. forming the boundary (W), the Canadian province of Quebec (NW), and Maine and a short strip of the Atlantic Ocean (E). psychologist, defines the term more narrowly than Goleman (1995). For Mayer, emotional intelligence is the ability to understand how others' emotions work and to control one's own emotions. By comparison, Goleman defines EI more broadly, also including such competencies as optimism, conscientiousness, motivation, empathy and social competence. According to according to
1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians.
2. In keeping with: according to instructions.
3. Mayer, these broader traits that Goleman relates to EI are considered personality traits by other theorists. For example, psychologist Gordon et. al. (1994) say that emotional intelligence deals largely with personality and mood, aspects of the individual that cannot be changed. Gordon, president of a Chicago-based employee-training company, claims that improving employees' literacy and analytical skills, not their emotional skills, is the best way to boost job performance. 'Work success is mostly cognitively driven,' says Gordon. 'Emotion by itself won't get you very far.'
Responding to such charges, Goleman proposes that cognitive skill cognitive skill Psychology Any of a number of acquired skills that reflect an individual's ability to think; CSs include verbal and spatial abilities, and have a significant hereditary component 'can help you get a job' in a company, but emotional skill helps you 'grow in the job' once you're hired. To illustrate Goleman's point, psychologist Stein and Book (2006), marketers of tests that assess employees' EI quotient (EQ), cites the example of a Harvard business graduate who received numerous job offers from companies clamoring to hire her. However, due to a lack of EI, the woman continually sparred with her employers and could not keep any of the jobs. Studies of close to 500 organizations worldwide, reviewed by Goleman in his book, indicate that people who score highest on EQ measures rise to the top of corporations. 'Star' employees possess more interpersonal skills "Interpersonal skills" refers to mental and communicative algorithms applied during social communications and interactions in order to reach certain effects or results. The term "interpersonal skills" is used often in business contexts to refer to the measure of a person's ability and confidence, for example, than 'regular' employees who receive less glowing performance reviews. Goleman (1998) concludes that 'Emotional intelligence matters twice as much as technical and analytic skill combined for star performances. And the higher people move up in the company, the more crucial emotional intelligence becomes.'
To rise higher in ones professional competence at the workplace, it is not just essential that individuals are good in their jobs. They are required to be more positive, approachable, warm, empathetic em·pa·thet·ic
empa·theti·cal·ly adv. and optimistic. A number of studies in the area suggest that it takes more than traditional cognitive intelligence to be successful at work. The EI of the person which includes his ability to restrain the negative feelings and focus on positive feelings plays an important role in determining his success. The idea got further boost with the release of Daniel Goleman (1995), 'Emotional Intelligence: Why it Can Matter More than IQ'. In another book, 'Working with Emotional Intelligence', Goleman (1998) focused on the need for EI at work, an area often considered more head than heart. The notion does not remain limited to the managers and leaders of the organizations but any job that requires dealing with people would need the input of emotional intelligence. Also, whereas IQ is relatively fixed, EI can be built and learned. Companies can test and teach EI and many employers are already beginning to do so. However, while some psychologists view Goleman's proposition as an encouraging prescription for building career skills, others say its validity is as yet unproven. Some of the theory's critics question the way EI is defined and claim it cannot be taught. Others maintain that cognitive and technical skills ultimately qualify people for the best jobs and help them excel at Verb 1. excel at - be good at; "She shines at math"
shine at
excel, surpass, stand out - distinguish oneself; "She excelled in math" those jobs.
Bosses and leaders need high EQ because they represent the organization to the public, they interact with the highest number of people within and outside the organization and they set the tone for employee morale (Goleman 1998). Leaders with empathy are able to understand their employees' needs and provide them with constructive feedback. Different jobs also call for different types of EI (Goleman 1998). For example, success in sales requires the empathic em·path·ic
Of, relating to, or characterized by empathy.
Adj. 1. empathic - showing empathy or ready comprehension of others' states; "a sensitive and empathetic school counselor"
empathetic ability to gauge a customer's mood and the interpersonal skill to decide when to speak about a product and when to keep quiet. By comparison, success in painting or professional tennis requires a more individual form of self-discipline and motivation. There are gender differences in EI as well, Stein (2006). After administering EQ assessments to 4,500 men and 3,200 women, his organization found that women score higher than men on measures of empathy and social responsibility, but men outperform women on stress tolerance and self-confidence measures. In other words Adv. 1. in other words - otherwise stated; "in other words, we are broke"
put differently , women and men are equally as intelligent emotionally, but they're strong in different areas.
Impact on Workplace Effectiveness
Look deeply at almost any factor that influences work place effectiveness, and you will find that EI plays a role. Any growing and prosperous organization needs to retain good employees, particularly those with the skills that are important in the high-tech economy. What is it that can make an employee stay with an organization for a longer duration? A Gallup Organization study of two million employees at seven hundred companies found that duration of stay of an employee in a company and his productivity would be determined by his relationship with his immediate supervisor (Zipkin 2000). In another study by Spherion, a staffing and consulting firm Noun 1. consulting firm - a firm of experts providing professional advice to an organization for a fee
consulting company
business firm, firm, house - the members of a business organization that owns or operates one or more establishments; "he worked for a in Fort Lauderdale, Florida Fort Lauderdale, known as the "Venice of America" due to its expansive and intricate canal system, is a city in Broward County, Florida, United States. The city's population is described as metropolitan, where diverse culture is commonplace. According to 2006 U.S. , and Lou Harris Associates, it was found that only 11 percent of the employees who ranked their bosses as excellent were likely to look for another job. However, 40 percent of those who ranked their bosses as poor wanted to leave. In other words, people who have good relation with boss are four times less likely to leave than are those who have poor relationship (Zipkin 2000).
A few skills and characteristics in the bosses become determining factors for the satisfaction of employees in any organization. If a boss can sense the feelings of his employees at the workplace regarding the work and can intervene at the appropriate time when these employees begin to lose faith in the system and become disenchanted, he possibly would be able to handle them in a better way. In the process they are also able to manage their own emotions, thereby inducing a feeling of trust and attachment among the employees. In essence, bosses who are able to make their employees stay for a longer duration are those with high emotional intelligence.
The greatest challenges that the organizations face today include (Cherniss 2001):
* Coping with massive, rapid change.
* Employees need to be more creative in order to drive innovation.
* Managing huge amounts of information.
* Enhancing customer loyalty.
* Employees need to be more motivated and committed.
* Need for collaborative effort.
* The organization needs to make better use of the special talents available in a diverse workforce.
* The organization needs to identify potential leaders in its ranks and prepare them to move up.
* The organization needs to identify and recruit top talent.
* The organization needs to make good decisions about new markets, products, and strategic alliances.
* The organization needs to prepare employees for overseas assignments.
These and many more concerns today confront work organizations, both public and private. Since majority of these concerns involve people in different roles, EI must become a determining factor for their effective management. And in virtually every case, EI must play an important role in handling the concern. For instance, while dealing with the process of change in an organization a lot of emotions are generated which may range from very positive to very negative (Singh 2005). This requires ability on the part of both the employer and the employees to perceive and understand the emotional impact of change on self and others. To be effective in helping their organizations manage change, leaders should be aware of and manage feelings of anxiety and uncertainty of their employees (Bunker 1997). They also should be able to appreciate the emotional reactions of other employees and help them to cope up with change. Besides the leader, the other members of the organization should be also able to monitor and manage their own emotional reaction as well as of their colleagues.
Emotional Intelligence at Work
The influence of EI begins with the retention and recruitment of talent. The extent to which candidates' EI is considered in making top executive hiring decisions has a significant impact on the ultimate success or failure of those executives. The EI of the persons doing the hiring is also crucial for good hiring decisions. EI also affects the development of talent. However, not all relationships are equally effective in doing so. The EI of the mentor, boss, or peer will influence the potential of a relationship with that person for helping organizational members develop and use the talent that is crucial for organizational effectiveness. Martin Seligman Martin E.P. Seligman (Albany, New York, 12 August 1942) is an American psychologist and writer. He is well known for his work on the idea of "learned helplessness", and more recently, for his contributions to leadership in the field of Positive Psychology. (1991) has developed a construct that he calls "learned optimism". It refers to the causal attributions people make when confronted with failure or setbacks. Optimists tend to make specific, temporary, external causal attributions while pessimists make global, permanent, internal attributions. In research at Met Life, Seligman and his colleagues found that new salesmen who were optimists sold 37 percent more insurance in their first two years than did pessimists. In another study Seligman (1991) tested 500 members of the freshman class at the University of Pennsylvania (body, education) University of Pennsylvania - The home of ENIAC and Machiavelli.
Address: Philadelphia, PA, USA. . Their scores on optimism predicted their actual grades better that their SAT scores.
EI has as much to do with knowing when and how to express emotion as it does with controlling it. In an experiment at Yale University Yale University, at New Haven, Conn.; coeducational. Chartered as a collegiate school for men in 1701 largely as a result of the efforts of James Pierpont, it opened at Killingworth (now Clinton) in 1702, moved (1707) to Saybrook (now Old Saybrook), and in 1716 was by Sigal Barsade (1998) a group of volunteers played the role of managers who came together in a group to allocate bonuses to their subordinates. An actor was planted among them who was always the first one to speak. He would show different reactions in different groups ranging from cheerful enthusiasm, relaxed warmth, to depressed sluggishness and hostile irritability. It was found that the emotions of the actor had an infectious impact on the group. The positive feelings led to improved cooperation and better group performance. These groups were better able to allocate their resources resulting in a feeling of satisfaction and in the other groups the results were just the opposite.
Empathy is a particularly important aspect of EI, and researchers have known for years that it contributes to occupational success. Rosenthal and his colleagues (1977) at Harvard discovered over three decades ago that people who were best at identifying others' emotions were more successful in their work as well as in their social lives.
The above findings suggest that EI is important for success in work and in life. However, this notion actually is somewhat simplistic sim·plism
The tendency to oversimplify an issue or a problem by ignoring complexities or complications.
[French simplisme, from simple, simple, from Old French; see simple and misleading. Both Goleman (1998) and Mayer et. al. (2000) have argued that by itself EI probably is not a strong predictor of job performance. Rather, it provides the bedrock for competencies that are. Goleman has tried to represent this idea by making a distinction between EI and emotional competence (EC), which refers to the personal and social skills that lead to superior performance in the world of work. "The emotional competencies are linked to and based on emotional intelligence. A certain level of emotional intelligence is necessary to learn the emotional competencies" Goleman (1998). For instance, the ability to recognize accurately what another person is feeling enables one to develop a specific competency such as influence. Similarly, people who are better able to regulate their emotions will find it easier to develop a competency such as initiative or achievement drive. Ultimately it is these social and EC that we need to identify and measure if we want to be able to predict performance at workplace resulting in its effectiveness.
Unresolved Issues & Dilemmas
Although psychologists have been studying aspects of emotional intelligence in organizations for decades (without using that term), the concept, as it is now understood, is relatively new. There still is much that is unclear about the nature of emotional intelligence, the way in which it should be measured, and its impact on individual performance and workplace effectiveness. In some cases this lack of clarity has led to conflict and controversy among researchers and practitioners. One of the most basic controversies involves the definition of the concept itself.
The term emotional quotient (EQ) was first coined by Bar-On (1988) as a counterpart to intelligence quotient intelligence quotient
n. Abbr. IQ
An index of measured intelligence expressed as the ratio of tested mental age to chronological age, multiplied by 100. (IQ), i.e. cognitive ability. Bar-On thought of EQ as representing a set of social and emotional abilities that help individuals cope with the demands of daily life. Salovey and Mayer (1990) had something different and more restricted in mind when they introduced the term EI several years later. For them, EI concerned the way in which an individual processes information about emotion and emotional responses. Goleman (1995) initially saw EI as an idea or theme that emerged from a large set of research findings on the role of the emotions in human life. These findings pointed to different ways in which competencies such as empathy, learned optimism, and self-control contributed to important outcomes in the family, workplace, and other life arenas. Fortunately, there seems to be some progress in clarifying the concept of EI. Goleman has recently made a distinction between EI and EC, as mentioned above. For instance, managers who possess a high level of what Salovey and Mayer (1990) think of as EI will not necessarily be more effective than other managers in dealing with conflict among their employees. However, they will be able to learn use conflict management skills more readily than individuals who bring less EI to the job. This recent formulation helps clarify the relationship between the definitions of EI that are used most frequently in the field. Nevertheless, it probably will be sometime before there is real clarity and consensus concerning the nature of emotional intelligence.
A related area of controversy is the measurement of EI. Several different instruments are now available that claim to measure EI. All are of recent vintage except for Bar-On's EQ-i, which was developed in the mid-eighties. Gowing (2001) clarifies how the different instruments overlap and how they diverge in what they measure. Although much progress has been made and all the current measures show promise, there still is much work to be done in clarifying and refining measurement methodology. Another unresolved issue concerns the relative predictive power The predictive power of a scientific theory refers to its ability to generate testable predictions. Theories with strong predictive power are highly valued, because the predictions can often encourage the falsification of the theory. of EI and IQ. Although Goleman (1998) has argued that EI accounts for more of the variance in individual and group performance than purely cognitive ability does, part of the problem is that these abilities are not mutually exclusive Adj. 1. mutually exclusive - unable to be both true at the same time
incompatible - not compatible; "incompatible personalities"; "incompatible colors" . EI by any definition is really a combination of cognitive and emotional abilities. As Goleman has suggested, the essence of EI is the integration of the emotional centres of the brain (the limbic system limbic system
A group of deep brain structures, common to all mammals and including the hippocampus, amygdala, gyrus fornicatus, and connecting structures, associated with olfaction, emotion, motivation, behavior, and various autonomic functions. ) and the cognitive centres (prefrontal cortex Noun 1. prefrontal cortex - the anterior part of the frontal lobe
prefrontal lobe
cerebral cortex, cerebral mantle, cortex, pallium - the layer of unmyelinated neurons (the grey matter) forming the cortex of the cerebrum ). Similarly, Mayer et. al. (2000) conceive EI as a set of skills that involve processing information about emotion. Empirical research Noun 1. empirical research - an empirical search for knowledge
inquiry, research, enquiry - a search for knowledge; "their pottery deserves more research than it has received" leaves little doubt that: (1) IQ and other measures of cognitive ability are limited in their power to predict who will succeed and (2) measures of EI are strongly correlated with performance in certain situations. However, there has been little good research that compares the predictive power of IQ and EI.
An often overlooked fact is that EI is composed of varied competencies and it still is unclear exactly how they are related. Both Mayer et al. (2000) and Goleman (1998) have developed models suggesting how different competencies may be related. Goleman proposes that Self-Awareness is the foundation for two other EI abilities: Self-Control and Social Awareness. Self-Control and Social Awareness, in turn, are the foundation for Social Skills.
The relationship between individual and group EI presents us with yet another unresolved issue. Group EI is not simply the sum total of the individual EI of group members. Having a few people with high individual EI is not enough to generate the conditions necessary for teamwork and group effectiveness. Groups also need norms and enduring processes that support awareness and regulation of emotion within the group. What we need is a study that measures both individual EI and group EI and then examines whether adding group EI increases our ability to predict group effectiveness. Before we can conduct such a study, we need good measures of both groups EI and individual EI. The major dilemma that confronts business organization is that the same conditions that make emotional intelligence so vital for organizational effectiveness also make EI difficult to nurture in organizations. This dilemma results from the current climate in contemporary organizations. The highly turbulent, dynamic, and competitive environment that has come to characterize the developing economic system at the dawn of the new millennium makes EI more vital than ever before. Rapid technological change, an increasingly diverse workforce, and global markets also contribute to a growing need for EI. Yet these factors are also creating a climate in which it is increasingly difficult for people to develop and use EI that is so necessary for organizational effectiveness. Even senior executives find it difficult to focus on anything other than short-term results. Yet the development of EI requires sustained reflection and learning.
Can EI be Developed?
An assumption that EI of the person can be developed, unlike cognitive intelligence, has led to the popularity of this concept. Studies have proved that while genes have a strong influence on our cognitive abilities (Riemann et. al. 1997) they also express themselves in the social and emotional competencies of individuals (Meany 2001). Bar-On (2000) has found that older cohorts tend to score higher on his scale of EI, suggesting that, to some extent, EI may be learned through life experience.
It has been held for long time that development of social and emotional competencies takes commitment and sustained effort (Cherniss & Adler 2000, Cherniss & Goleman 2001). However, the most persuasive that people can improve on EI competencies comes from longitudinal studies conducted at the Weatherhead School of Management The Weatherhead School of Management is a private business school of Case Western Reserve University located in Cleveland, Ohio. Weatherhead is considered a top-tier business school, with its strongest programs concentrated in organizational behavior, nonprofit business, at Case Western Reserve University (Boyatzis et. al 1995). The students in this study took part in a course on competence building which included both emotional competencies and the cognitive ones. The assessment of students at the beginning of the program, upon graduation and again years later on-the-job showed that EI competencies can be significantly improved and are sustainable over a long period of time. Recent research on "mindfulness" training--an emotional self-regulation strategy--has shown that training can actually change the brain centres that regulate negative and positive emotions. This training helps people focus on present and keep worries at a distance and also to maintain calm before acting on emotional impulse (Davidson et al. 2003). These results serve to support the notion that EI competencies can be developed.
People must step back from the day-to-day focus on getting more done and instead concentrate on personal development. Carving out time each week for such activity seems to many an unaffordable un·af·ford·a·ble
Too expensive: medical care that has become unaffordable for many.
un luxury. Only the most emotionally intelli-gent have the insight and determination to do so, though it is still not clear how those who lack this level of EI can be helped to change their priorities in ways that enable them to develop it.

Originally written on Cascadia Sports | Last updated 11/19/14
Everyone that does or has followed Chad Johnson on Twitter (@ochocinco) has an opinion about him and whether you love him or hate him, the man knows how to get people's attention. In fact, following him on Twitter was what changed my opinion of him and exposed me to him on a new level. The exposure to Johnson as a person proved that the persona I had created for him through the representation of him was fabricated by what the media wanted it to be. I am now a fan of Chad Johnson and, as a wishful thinker, I believe that he should consider playing a few seasons with the BC Lions of the CFL before his abilities decline and he decides to hang up the cleats – here are my reasons why It's a Passing League I love the NFL but I am passionate about the CFL because it has exciting elements that the league to the south can't replicate and one of them is the offensive nature of a 3 down league. I have always argued that if you put NFL talent in the CFL game and allowed them the time to understand the nuances; the CFL would explode in popularity as a league. I don't think it would rival the NFL but it would create a great secondary option in North America for football crazed fans to embrace. Pass happy fans won't find a tactical snore fest game that sees a team run the ball 80% of the plays, in fact it's the opposite and someone like Chad Johnson would excel. Every teams come out ready to throw and put on an air show that fans can get excited about, plus the play clock is only 20 seconds long forcing the game to be more up-tempo. With the receivers being able to be in motion before the snap, the ability to create more exciting, big play and game breaking catches would let a talented showman like Johnson a fierce threat on every down. In addition, after watching some of the videos on Ochocinco's route running abilities, he would be incredibly hard to cover, especially when you add in that he would already be close to full speed as the ball is snapped. The Show The CFL is cracking down on the amount of extracurricular celebrations but nowhere near the same as the NFL. Johnson would be able to bring out his fun antics, such as the Future Hall of Fame jacket or show off his dancing skills in the end zone. The CFL has taken a few of the better show aspects of the NFL to make their fan experience better and the players have embraced the fact that they have some creative freedom. I personally would be interested in seeing what new and tasteful celebrations Chad Johnson would come up with if he were to be scoring multiple touchdowns a game. Mentoring Johnson seems to be continually on the training grounds with any number of NFL receivers throughout the year. He endorses coaches that helped him with this route running, training regimen and the like. Considering the best CFL players are regularly using their time up North to showcase their talents to gain exposure and build a portfolio of work that will reward them with an NFL tryout, what better way to elevate the quality of players in the league than to learn from one of the more prolific receivers in recent NFL history. Johnson regularly talks about development, work ethic, practice and learning from others. Here is his chance to put his fingerprints on the development of the young BC Lions receiving core that is considered one fo the most prolific in the entire league. Orcas During the summer, Johnson exposed a new found love for Orcas and went as far as Tweeting something along the lines of is there place to play pro football and be able to swim with the whales. I don't recall which local sports personality actually responded but they let him know that the BC Lions are in Vancouver where there are year round whale watching tours. The local hockey team, the Vancouver Canucks, have a logo that incorporates the majestic creature, a massive number of native Canadians include orcas in their art, and tourism shops are always highlighting one the largest nature attractions that people can witness while here, so the fashionista that is Chad Johnson wouldn't have any shortage of new clothing attire to purchase and further his endorsement of orcas. The Jersey Johnson's best years were in black and orange, which happen to be the same colors of the BC Lions. In fact, the Lions recently wore their latest 3rd jerseys that have been the talk of the CFL since they were released. The all black jersey, with orange outlines and the black matte finished helmet have been so popular that they sold out before the weekend they were revealed was over. Once again, social media engaged Johnson to get his take on the uniforms to which Johnson responded very favorably. McDonald's Yes, the place you can find anywhere in the world. It is also advertised as a staple in Chad Johnson's dietary and date preference locations. By joining the BC Lions, Ochocinco could visit a landmark in the company's history as the neighboring city of Richmond, BC is the home of the first McDonald's to be opened in Canada. They opened their doors in 1967 and were the 1st McDonald's restaurant to be opened outside of the United States. I don't believe we will ever see this come to fruition as it would come with a lot of additional press that may not be appealing to the CFL. The initial set up would likely appear as a media stunt and a cheap gimmick to sell tickets, I know from people I have talked to about it over the last year that there would be the standard opposing responses, such as, "it would devalue the league," or "it will make it look the league isn't legit," or "that it would look desperate if all the teams started to pick up the aging NFL cast offs." I get it, I hear you but there have been leagues that once took those chances and faced that same scrutiny. I can think of 2 teams in LA brought in a player with star power to help grow the game and I would say those leagues have been successful in their endeavors. Anyways, just food for thought for the BC Lions, the CFL and Chad Johnson.

I wish nationalgeographics did a documentary on the 'Darco Treatment'
Image courtesy Frederick A. Murphy, CDC
Published August 22, 2011
There's no cure for the common cold—yet.
A new drug can scout out and kill numerous types of viruses infecting human and animal cells, researchers have announced. It's the first time a single drug has been shown to work against a range of viruses, from those that cause seasonal sniffles to more fatal diseases.
"Several decades ago the discovery and production of antibiotics revolutionized the way bacterial infections were treated," said study co-author Todd Rider, a senior staff scientist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology's Lincoln Laboratory and Division of Comparative Medicine.
"We hope that this will similarly revolutionize the way viral infections are treated. That covers everything from cold and flu viruses to more serious clinical pathogens like HIV and hepatitis viruses and ultimately even more deadly viruses like Ebola and smallpox."
(Watch video: "How Flu Viruses Attack.")
Alien-Like Viruses Tough to Beat
Though there are plenty of drugs to treat bacterial infections, there are few that can battle viruses. The antiviral drugs that have been developed are highly specific, with each drug targeting just one strain of a virus, which can easily mutate and become resistant to the medication.
So Rider and colleagues took a different approach—tailoring their new drug to work with the body's built-in defense mechanism.
Viruses operate "sort of like the aliens in the Alien movies," Rider said. "They'll enter a cell, replicate inside the cell, and ultimately burst out of the cell," killing it.
(Take a quiz on infectious diseases.)
While taking over cells, viruses produce what's called long double-stranded RNA, a complex acid that controls the virus's chemical activities and is not produced in healthy human cells, according to the study, published July 27 in the journal PLoS ONE.
Human bodies do have natural defenses against viruses: They produce proteins that latch onto double-stranded RNA and prevent the virus from replicating itself. But many viruses have evolved ways to shut down these proteins.
New Drug Packs Double Whammy
Rider and his team developed a drug that combines the natural-defense protein with another protein that triggers a cell's suicide switch. All human cells have these suicide switches, which are usually activated when cells start to become cancerous, Rider said.
The result is like the mythological centaur, said Marie Pizzorno, a molecular virologist at Pennsylvania's Bucknell University.
"The horse is one piece of a protein that normally we make and that can recognize the [long double-stranded RNA] made by the virus, and the man is something that triggers the cell-death pathway," she said.
The new drug, called DRACO, works by searching for cells in the body that contain long double-stranded RNA—a surefire sign of a virus. If the drug finds a viral infection, it tells the cell to self-destruct.
Since our body doesn't use these proteins together naturally, combining them in drug form may outsmart even the most adaptable of viruses, added Pizzorno, who was not involved in the new study.
"Viruses have figured out how to handle our normal defenses, [but] by activating these two pathways with one protein, they've hopefully prevented the viruses from getting around it."
If the drug does not find double-stranded RNA in the body, it eventually flushes out with no side effects, study leader Rider added. (See a human-body interactive.)
Common-Cold Drug Still a Decade Away
So far, the drug has proven to be effective and nontoxic in killing 15 types of virus—including the ones that cause dengue hemorrhagic fever and H1N1 influenza, or swine flu—in 11 types of mammalian cells, including human.
The drug also cured 100 percent of mice injected with a lethal dose of H1N1, and there are ongoing trials in mice with other viruses.
The next step will be to see if the drug can kill viruses in bigger animals, such as rabbits, guinea pigs, and ultimately monkeys, Rider said.
Then, if the drug is still safe and effective, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration may approve human clinical trials, Rider said. Still, it will be "at least a decade before you can buy this at the drugstore."
Even with all these steps yet to go, the new drug has promise, Bucknell's Pizzorno added.
"It's a really innovative way to consider doing an antiviral," she said. "I don't think anyone has ever thought of this before."
I can see a way this could go wrong in the trials. There's perhaps a reason cells don't suicide as soon as they're infected - quite possibly the internal battle is won by the cell and its antiviral proteins some percentage of the time. This drug, by killing all infected cells, could have some serious side effects.

Isaiah Rashad - Hii (F**k Love)
Artist: Isaiah Rashad
Producer: D. Sanders
Album: Fake Trill EP
Avg Rating: 3.4 ( 7 votes )
With states like Washington and Colorado recently legalizing marijuana, many DJBooth readers can now alter their state of mind legally. For those not lucky enough to reside in said states, you can use Isaiah Rashad's new, drug inspired tune Hii (F**k Love) to get your fix. The latest single of his forthcoming Fake Trill EP, Hii plays host to a trippy, ambient production, crafted by newcomer D. Sanders. As the beat twists, Isaiah and guest Rob December spits few pill-popping bars, utilizing an ever-changing flow and blending a crisp delivery with a slurred, slower cadence that nicely caps of the hazy vibe. If you are looking for another hit, be sure to scope out Rashad's Fake Trill EP, out soon. If you simply must get high again before the EP, we featured the visuals for Gusto earlier this week.

I love the skirt on this dress so swishy and flawy and it works great in rayon. I'm less sure about the bodice, I lengthened it by 5cm, maybe a mistake, I should also have lowered the darts 5cm. But its easy to wear and will be great in summer.

Battle Simulation Center exercise trains in communications, other operational support
Behind the front lines of battle in the field, command operations centers are the elements supporting ground operations – coordinating communications and enabling decision-making critical to the mission. Now, Marines in the I Marine Expeditionary Force (forward) are undergoing special training that uses simulation to prep them for operational support roles that are vital to savings lives.
The Mission Rehearsal Exercise, which launched Dec. 5, takes place on the grounds of the Battle Simulation Center at Camp Pendleton, Calif., where simulation is used to train Marines in a variety of different disciplines, including tactical operations, combat readiness, vehicle and weapons and language and culture skills.
But in the case of the Mission Rehearsal Exercise, Marines rehearse scenarios that require complex support skills, according to a recent DVIDS report. A combat operations center would be the entity that gets called when there's an injury or casualty in the field, providing direction in response to the given scenario.
The training simulates the high-stress situations they may encounter in forward deployment, and is designed to help Marines establish and learn standard operating procedures that they can rely on amid the chaotic conditions of combat. It also serves to test the Marines' abilities in operating under pressure.
"They get the same kinds of tools and reports as if they were really in the field," Cory Buckney, BSC network manager, told DVIDS. "The scenarios are real things that happen too, such as having a platoon commander killed and now having the platoon sergeant take his responsibilities."
The support-operations specific training is especially important because Marines in the I MEF will be taking command of the International Security Assistance Force's Regional Command Southwest in Afghanistan once it is handed over from the Second Marine Division (II MEF). I MEF Marines will train and advise Afghan forces while headquartered at Camp Leatherneck in Helmand Province, Afghanistan.

Congressman Andy Barr released the following statement today after the House passed H.R. 5078, the Waters of the United States Regulatory Overreach Protection Act of 2014, which prevents overreach by the Environmental Protection Agency, reinforces the Clean Water Act of 1972, and upholds the federal-state partnership to regulate America's waters:

America's freedom is only possible because of the sacrifice and bravery of our veterans and servicemen and women. However, recent reports of gross mismanagement and falsified data records at the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA), coupled with an utter lack of accountability at the agency, denies our heroes the care they have more than earned.

I am a cosplayer/photographer from MA. My fiance and I have been cosplaying together since 2006. I specialize in sewing and wigs (and a little foray into fiberglass now and then) and my fiance does the accessories and prop work (and now foam latex!). Lately I've turned my attention towards photography and hope to expand my portfolio with images from all the conventions we visit and the places I travel.
