Guy Ritchie recently spoke for the first time about his heartache after splitting from Madonna in November 2008.
And his revelation has seemingly inspired the singer to shed light on her own experience.
"It was a challenging year," she says. "I may have thrown myself off a building. I think work saved me and I'm very grateful that I had work to do."
Immediately after the couple's divorce, the 51-year-old emerged herself in her current Sticky & Sweet tour, and also teamed up with Justin Timberlake for their hit, 4 Minutes.
The queen of pop's new relationship with Brazilian love Jesus Luz seems to have brought a smile back to her face these days though.

{Google Hangout} Finding BalancePosted by Katie on Jan 26, 2013 in Google Hangouts, video | 5 comments
Whether you are a blogger or not everyone needs to find balance in their life. This is the first topic that Christine from Cook the Story and I talked about that wasn't centered 100% around food. I think finding balance in life is a struggle that everyone tries to maintain. We spoke Kim from Cravings of a Lunatic about finding balance. We all shared ways we are trying to find balance. Watch our chat to learn more.
I mentioned during the chat that I had a real ah-ha moment while traveling through Europe. I was disconnected from what seemed like the world and had my husbands full undying attention. I can't tell you how many times he has asked me to put down my phone and talk, or eat dinner together, or even while he is driving and I'm sitting in the passenger seat. I've learned over the past few months that there is a time and place to check email and do social media. At times I think I'm addicted, but then I know I can walk away and the world won't come to an end. Europe taught me that. I'm not going to lie. When I wrote about my time in Barcelona I started twitching after day 3 of no internet. During that trip though I also realized that I need to take more time to unplug and enjoy with family and friends. Some weekends I'll find myself glued to my computer all weekend: editing photos, writing post, social media, etc. That is not healthy. Not healthy for me. Not healthy for my husband or any of my family and friends. So I've been easing off and if I don't get a blog post up when I wanted it to go live I'm not having a mental breakdown. I know the world will go on. This is hard for any blogger to do. Especially someone who has 2 blogs (like me). Remember, I also manage a DIY blog called Sew Woodsy. That blog recently has not received as much TLC and I'm ok with that. I only have so much time in my day and that is just how it is going to be.
So when I'm trying to find balance I also like to write lots of notes. Number my priorities and know that the world won't end if I don't complete everything on my list that day.
I also like to meal plan for the week. I prep vegetables on a Sunday: chopping and dicing onions, peppers, garlic, etc. I also make fruit salads for the week so that we have them ready for us to take to work in the morning.
I also like to try to make lunch the night before. That way we are less stressed and rushed in the morning.
A few of these food tricks have helped me continue to stay balanced in the kitchen.
Do you struggle with finding balance? If so, what are some of your tips?

New York City Council speaker Christine Quinn has wed her long-time partner Kim Catullo in front of delighted friends and family.
Quinn and Catullo exchanged vows on Saturday night in a ceremony attended by many politicians who helped to introduce same sex marriage in the State.
Reports state that the 275 person guest list was a veritable who's-who of New York politics.
It included Mayor Bloomberg and his girlfriend Diana Taylor; Sens. Kirsten Gillibrand and Charles Schumer, Assemblyman Vito Lopez; Rep. Carolyn Maloney and openly-gay State Senator Tom Duane.
He joked to reporters outside that the music was "better at same-sex weddings."
Senator Schumer told reporters: "It is not a matter of if, but when same-sex marriage is legalized everywhere."
The wedding, at the Highline Stages on West 15 Street, had a 'Spring in New York' theme with each table named for one of the couple's favorite city neighborhoods.
Reports say the space was decorated with local wildflowers including some grown at the nearby Highline Park.
NBC New York reports that Quinn wore a full-length creme-colored gown designed by Carolina Herrera. Catullo wore a creme-colored silk suit designed for her by Ralph Lauren with make-up by Bobbi Brown.
The brides walked down the aisle separately with their fathers, Lawrence Quinn and Anthony Catullo. Quinn arrived to Beyonce's 'Ave Maria' and Catullo to Bruce Springsteen's 'If I Fall Behind.'
Quinn received Catullo's mother's ring, reset with sapphires, the official stone of September.
A history of the couple's 11 year relationship was shown during the reception.
Quinn ended up in tears when she spoke to the media after same-sex marriage was legalized in New York last June.
She said: "I was never sure this bill would pass. Even this morning as I stood in my apartment getting ready, I was so nervous, because I had begun to plan the wedding in my mind.
"And I thought, 'What if it doesn't happen again,' the disappointment will be so tremendous.
"It's hard to describe the feeling of having the law of your state changed to say what you know in your heart is true, that you are a full member of the state, and that your family is as good as any other family."
Governor Cuomo worked hard to legalize same-sex marriage and engaged in contentious debates before signing the bill into law in June.
On Saturday, as he arrived for the wedding reception, Cumo was asked by NBC 4 New York if he felt responsible for the day.
"No," he replied, after walking back out. "Only two people are responsible."

Wired broadband adoption dips as wireless flies
The developed world has lost its appetite for terrestrial internet connections, but is hungry for vast increases in wireless connectivity, according to the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development's (OECD's) latest data on broadband adoption among its 34 members. The new data asserts that residents of OECD members …
What exactly...
...does this prove apart from stating the bleedin' obvious?
Pretty much everyone I know has wired broadband so of course its up-take is going to slow, if my experience is anything to go by at least. Similarly, not everyone (I know) has a phone, tablet or other device which can connect to the internet, but many, even ones I never expected, are making the jump from "dumb" phone to smartphone if only because of their prevalence and relatively low cost. So of course demand for wireless connectivity is increasing.
Come back to me when wireless starts replacing wired, then I'll be more interested (if only because it may mean I get faster speeds through my wired connection.)
How do I get a job on this OECD? I wouldn't mind getting paid for producing mind numbingly obvious "stats"
Since the idiots
who think wireless can replace fibre have yet to show up here I think your annoyance is a little premature. As for the "mind numbingly obvious "stats"" , well statistics tend to be like that - they tell you what you already know but with numbers.
Wireless or mobile?
The OECD is frustratingly vague about just what constitutes a wireless service.
The word wireless is generally not used exclusively to refer to mobile, though perhaps that is what they wish to do but won't admit it.
Here in Canada we have an increase in wireless service simply because the areas where it is impractical to install wired service are the ones which are being serviced last in the big push to get everyone on the internet. Like someone said above, "everyone I know has wired". So now we're filling in the areas where we can only use wireless - which is most of rural Canada.
How is a growth of 1.8% a dip?
A dip would imply less connections. A growth implies more.
"UPC which offers a broadband product which, thanks to a five-terabyte download allowance at a speed of just ten megabits per second, cannot ever reach the download quota"
So that's "unlimited" then. Unlike the many "unlimited" products (many on slower connections) where you CAN use up your quota (Fine Print FUP = "Fair Usage Policy")
I have "fixed wireless". Unlike Mobile (Mobile Broadband is an oxymoron). it's real broadband.
The Irish Government (successive) and Comreg are pushing hard to get mobile included as "real broadband" in EC and OECD stats. Otherwise someone could end up being prosecuted. The National Broadband Scheme simply subsidized "Three" adding more Mobile masts for 3G. Not a single Broadband connection
Australia figures misleading
Wired vs. wireless uptake numbers from Australia are bound to be misleading as many people have to decide between wireless broadband and dial-up, not wireless broadband and wired broadband. In thousands of exchanges around Australia, there simply isn't an ADSL port to be had. (Telstra has under provisioned since day one.) At that point the options are:
* Wireless broadband, if available.
* Dial-up.
* Satellite.
Australian numbers are only meaningful if you compare what choices people have made from the choices *available* to them. As Telstra continues with their TopHat program (adding ADSL2 ports to existing RIMs), we should see greater wired take-up again...until the ports are exhausted.
Note that there's no point asking Telstra as their don't keep a count of how many people are waiting on a wired port to come free. They have a national demand register and they claim to have a 'waiting list' for ports. The waiting list does not exist and the demand register is rarely used.
Given that Telstra's main infrastructure spend has been on 4G networks, it's entirely self-serving for them to claim that people don't want wired Internet. People want it, they just can't get it.
Re: Australia figures misleading
People want it, they just can't get it.
The same here in Canada, although perhaps for other reasons. In any case it is wrong to assume that people don't want to buy something just because it isn't offered. That isn't statistics. It's not even bad statistics.
But it's reasonably obvious why...
In my house there is a broadband connection, used by me and all of my family (1 connection used by more than 1 person).
My phone has a broadband connection used by me.
My better half's phone has a broadband connection, used by her.
I have a Mi-fi that has a broadband connection used by me.
I make that 3 connections used by 2 people.
Clumsy graph
Makes the data look like a trend over time. The GDP 'line' is daft: nothing is signified by the connection between data points.
UPC five terabyte limit...
I wonder if that's the same UPC as we have in The Netherlands, who have an unspecified transfer limit imposed by a "fair use policy", who told me outright when asked that no-one has ever exceeded it, despite me once transferring 525 GB of in one month.
That was in 2006 too. These days they're not even phased when I download 85 GB of torrents in one evening, like I did earlier this week - and that's not even factoring in the upload traffic!
Great ISP. :)
Broadband Penetration?
Isn't that a bit, err, rude?
Where's the data to say broadband doesn't boost GDP?
The byline "OECD data offers grim view of broadband's GDP-boosting prowess" is not consistent with the data presented. You'd have to plot delta-GDP versus delta-broadband-adoption to make that claim.
The main take-home information from the graph showing "broadband penetration compared to gross domestic product (GDP)." (aside from that Luxembourgians have insanely high GDP per capita) is that countries with a higher GDP per capita to tend to have a higher rate of broadband adoption (draw a line of best fit for each plot, and you'll see it). Or that Australia (for example) has relatively high broadband adoption relative to its per-capita-GDP - as compared to some other countries. There aren't many more inferences to make, but "lots of broadband users does not necessarily translate into colossal GDP" (GDP doesn't even appear as a data point on the graph) is NOT one of them.
I turn to El Reg for science and precision. Let's have some, please.

The Ocean State Church of Christ Celebrates First Baptism
Authored by Jimmy Allen
Ocean State Church Website
In Acts 8, an African man traveled to another country and was met by Philip while reading the Bible on his own. Immediately following this God-ordained encounter, the Ethiopian treasurer was baptized and went on his way rejoicing.
Two thousand years later, in Providence, RI, a single man originally from Liberia, Africa, was met while reading the Bible on his own in a Starbucks restaurant. Shortly afterward, Quarty Soe – a barber and a father – was immersed at the beautiful Lincoln Woods State Park Beach for the forgiveness of his sins at a midweek service.
The Ocean State congregation was officially sent out on August 3 on the concluding day of the New England Christian Conference. Exactly one month to the day – September 3 – Quarty was immersed as a response to Christ's love for him. Nathan Thompson met Quarty. Nathan, a college student from Colorado, was only in Rhode Island for two months on a summer internship. However, he used his time here to make an eternal connection, even though his stay was brief.
The thirty-something member Ocean State congregation is presently excited and filled with faith at what God has done and will do. Each Sunday and Wednesday, more and more guests are streaming to services from all over the state. Even at Quarty's immersion, visitors were present from the military to our far southern border in Newport as well as Brown University students in the heart of downtown Providence.
Let's all continue to pray that God's name will be glorified in this state, around New England and the world as we love Him and others.
New England Christian Conference proclaimed – "Everything is Possible"
By Jimmy Allen
For the weekend of August 1-3, hundreds and even thousands of disciples streamed to Providence, Rhode Island, from all around New England. Event chairman, Tom Caswell from Worcester, and his committee brought in an amazing array of speakers from near and far including Shawn Wooten (Ukraine), AT and Marci Arneson (Chicago), David and Robin Weidner (Boise, Idaho) and more.
The first day was highlighted by special workshops geared to the ministry staff and small group leaders of the New England churches. In addition to the times of learning, the ligaments developed and time spent building relationships were so valuable. As we consistently work together in missions, conferences and all – there is always the necessity for trust and doing together what we cannot do alone.
On Saturday morning, a large wave of Christians began to flow in to the Rhode Island Convention Center. Powerful singing, overseen by Boston worship leader – Tony Martin, would be a hallmark of the event and kicked off each session. Shawn Wooten's keynote address walked through the book of Jeremiah and directed us to his 1.)Great Call – Jeremiah 1:4-8 2.)Great Love – Jeremiah 2:1-2 3.)Perseverance – Jeremiah 5:1ff 4.)Great Responsibility – Jeremiah 20:7-9 and 5.)Great Vision – Jeremiah 29:10-13.
Following a lunch break of fellowship and food, numerous classes on a host of topics took place. With issues like purity, marriage, parenting, career, nutrition, worship, and dealing with pain and suffering being discussed – every disciple was able to find places where he or she could be encouraged, challenged and moved forward in life.
Saturday was far from finished after supper and classes. A jazz coffee house and a dance kept many moving and smiling into the late hours of the night.

Rarity is a rough measure of the quality and scarcity of a card. Cards of higher rarity are typically more powerful or more useful, but are much harder to find and more expensive to craft. Conversely, rarer cards can also be disenchanted into larger amounts of raw materials.
There are 5 rarities: Free, Common, Rare, Epic and Legendary. Each quality has its own colour, based on World of Warcraft's gear system, and rarities can generally be recognised by the colour of the gem at the bottom center of the card's portrait (see display, right). The exception is cards from the basic set, which do not feature coloured gems. When opening packs, face down cards above common quality will be displayed with an appropriately-coloured glow when hovered over.
For cards in the expert set, rarity determines how likely a card is to be found in a card pack, with higher rarities occurring less often. However, with the exception of basic cards, rarity does not determine the means by which cards are obtained, with all cards from a given set usually obtained by the same means, regardless of rarity. For details, see Card set and individual card pages.
For lists of cards in each rarity, see Free card list, Common card list, Rare card list, Epic card list and Legendary card list.
Rarity in Hearthstone cards serves as a rough indication of quality, but an inconsistent indication of value in play. Likewise, for cards in the expert set, rarity is a consistent indicator of card scarcity and crafting cost. However, for cards in other sets, rarity may bear no relation to the difficulty of acquiring cards.
Legendary cards boast some of the most powerful effects in the game, and adding a single well-chosen legendary to a deck otherwise lacking in high rarity cards can measurably improve the deck and win games. Some high rarity cards may also represent improved versions of lower rarity cards, providing fairly straightforward upgrades for decks using these cards. In most beginner decks, adding almost any legendary is likely to improve the deck, and in many lower-rank games, drawing and playing a lone legendary minion can single-handedly turn the tide of battle and win the game. Low-level battles are sometimes decided by who is able to draw their Ragnaros the Firelord or Ysera first.
However, despite the undeniable power of many legendaries, rarity is not the prime determinant of victory in matches. Overall deck composition (as well as skill, luck and match-ups) is a far larger factor, and despite the power of many legendaries, most top-level players choose to include only a handful legendaries in their decks. Streamers such as Trump have demonstrated the ultimate unimportance of rarity by reaching Legend rank using mostly basic cards, while some such as TotalBiscuit have even constructed decks composed entirely of legendary cards, in order to demonstrate how ineffective and cumbersome such decks would be.
Ultimately, while higher rarity cards offering straight upgrades to lower rarity cards can generally be relied upon to present a superior option, the optimal deck for any given deck type is likely composed primarily of low and medium rarity cards, including many basic class cards. Many lower rarity cards provide essential functions and utility not found in higher rarity options, as well as low mana cost cards invaluable for early and mid game presence. As a result, a free Polymorph may very effectively counter a legendary Cairne Bloodhoof, and a basic Sacrificial Pact may turn the legendary Lord Jaraxxus into a swift defeat.
Deck composition is ultimately determined by several factors, including both individual card quality and overall deck strategy. The ability of a card to serve a deck's specific needs and approach to obtaining victory will always play a greater role in determining its viability than its rarity. However, a few well-chosen high rarity cards can turn a deck from bad to reasonable, or from good to great, and can generally be relied upon to provide some exciting and game-changing options.
Free is the lowest level of card rarity, below common, rare, epic and legendary. All free cards belong to the basic set, and therefore do not have any coloured gems at the bottom-center of the card's art.
Two of each free card are automatically included in the player's collection.
There are 59 free cards (5 per class and 14 neutral).
For a full list of all free cards, see Free card list.
|Golden free
Common is the second-lowest level of rarity, above free, but below rare, epic and legendary. Common cards that are not from the basic set can be recognised by a white gem located at the bottom-center of the card's art, and when opening packs do not glow when moused over. Basic common cards do not feature the white gem, but are still marked as common cards. There are more common cards than of any other rarity, and common cards are obtained from card packs more frequently than any other rarity.
Basic common cards that are non-class-specific are automatically included in the player's collection, while all class-specific basic common cards can be obtained by levelling a hero of the appropriate class to level 10. Common cards from other sets can be obtained through the means usual to those sets.
There are 186 unique common cards: 94 in the expert set (6 per class and 40 neutral), 74 in the basic set (5 per class and 29 neutral) and 18 in the Naxxramas set (1 per class and 9 neutral).
For a full list of all common cards, see Common card list.
|Golden common
Rare is the level of rarity above free and common, but below epic and legendary. Rare cards can be recognised by a blue gem located at the bottom-center of the card's art, and when opening packs will display a blue glow when moused over.
There are 85 unique rare cards: 81 in the expert set (5 per class and 36 neutral) and 4 in the Naxxramas set (all neutral).
For a list of all rare cards, see Rare card list.
|Golden rare
Epic is the second-highest level of rarity, above free, common and rare, but below legendary. Epic cards can be recognised by a purple gem located at the bottom-center of the card's art, and when opening packs will display a purple glow when hovered over.
There are 40 unique epic cards: 37 in the expert set (3 per class and 10 neutral), 1 in the Reward set (neutral), and 2 in the Naxxramas set (both neutral).
For a full list of all epic cards, see Epic card list.
|Golden epic
Legendary is the highest level of rarity, above free, common, rare and epic. Legendary cards are indicated by an orange gem located at the bottom-center of the card's art, and when opening packs will display an orange glow when moused over. In addition, legendary cards also feature a dragon around the portrait, much like elites and rares in World of Warcraft. Legendary cards are obtained from card packs less frequently than any other rarity.
Each class currently has a single legendary card specific to their class, with all other legendary cards non-class-specific. Currently, all collectible legendary cards are minion cards.
Unlike cards of other rarities, you may only have one of each legendary card in your deck. Playing a legendary card prompts a short piece of unique music. In addition to being very powerful cards, the characters featured in legendary cards are typically very well-known or significant within Warcraft lore. Legendary minion cards obtained through adventures tend to depict bosses from that adventure.
While most legendaries are extremely rare and hard to obtain, legendaries in the Naxxramas set can be obtained relatively easily once the Curse of Naxxramas adventure has been unlocked. However, the cost of purchasing the adventure itself can be considered some compensation for this.
There are 42 legendary cards: 33 in the expert set (1 per class and 24 neutral), 1 in the Reward set (neutral), 2 in the Promotion set (both neutral), and 6 in the Naxxramas set (all neutral).
For a full list of all legendary cards, see Legendary card list.

Acoustic Load and Transfer Functions in Listening Rooms
Acoustic Transfer Impedance (ATIM) {or Inertance(ATIN) } and Acoustic Load Impedance (ALIM) {or Inertance (ALIN)} are suggested to be measured and used for analysis of the behavior of sound sources in rooms, below the Schroeder frequency. Measuring methods are discussed and some measuring results are shown. Two simple ways of computing ATIM and ALIM {or ATIN and ALIN} in rectangular enclosures are also mentioned. The aim of the paper is to suggest the impedance concept as a basis for better interpreting the performance of sound sources in rooms at low frequencies.

The Army's New Spiritual Soldier
April 16, 2012 § Leave a comment
When we picture boot camp, we think of yelling and push-ups, long marches and more yelling and… spiritual training? With the army's new Comprehensive Soldier Fitness program, (CSF), spiritual fitness may become just as important as all those push-ups. The army wants motivated, resilient, and morally-grounded soldiers, so they've paid heed to the research linking spirituality with health. By teaming up with Ken Pargament and the Positive Psychology Center at UPenn, they've created a program to build strong spirits and strong bodies.
As a secular institution, the army adopting spirituality poses a unique set of problems. The Department of Defense can't rate spirituality in terms of absolute truth or impose a particular tradition. So instead they've tried to distill a spirituality free from any tradition that will still yield all the benefits: a purely pragmatic spirituality.
The army desperately needs these benefits. Soldiers face some of the most stressful conditions on earth: the persistent threat of danger, the abrupt eruptions of violence, watching friends die and facing permanent injury. Any of these would overwhelm even the most resilient person. And it shows: rates of PTSD and suicides are growing to the point that there are more than 6,500 veteran suicides each year. This is staggering. However out of place it might seem, spirituality may be the key to mitigating these numbers.
Over the past decades research has repeatedly shown the positive effects of spirituality. Strong spirituality correlates with stronger immune systems, better heart health, and more resilience after illness among many other benefits. The research is more nuanced than this, but the general trend links strong spirituality with health. These are the benefits the army's trying to tap into, but is a purely pragmatic spirituality a chimera?
If it's possible, Ken Pargament would know how to create it. In his paper on the Army's Spiritual Fitness program spirituality is defined as "the journey people take to discover and realize their essential selves and higher order aspirations." This highly individualized definition doesn't mention the sacred dimension we typically associate with spirituality. But it does capture the individual growth and self knowledge essential to spirituality. The question becomes: how is this any different than character development? And if it's not, why call it "spirituality"?
One reason is apparent in Officer Fairholm's statement about spirit: "It creates our mindset, defines our values, determines our actions, and predicts our behavior." The human spirit, even divested of sacredness, is an incredibly powerful motivating and influencing force. The army hopes to tap into this power to create more resilient warriors.
While they're silent about the sacred, the army is not neutral when it comes to the "higher-order aspirations." The Warrior Ethos in particular sets out these core values: "Loyalty, duty, respect, selfless service, honor, integrity, and personal courage." So the army is in a difficult position as they go about building spiritual fitness: are they instilling the Warrior Ethos or helping people discover their own?
Regardless of this dilemma, any amount that the army is able to instill a strong human spirit is a positive step. Not only is spirituality a tremendous motivating force it could make the difference in whether stress leads to growth or decline. Beyond psychological and physiological benefits, this strong moral grounding would help soldiers make life and death decisions under the chaotic pressure of war.
The prime example of this is Officer Hugh Thompson. While in Vietnam, Officer Thompson witnessed Americans soldiers killing Vietnamese civilians in My Lai. Against enormous cultural pressure and potential court marshal, he landed his helicopter between the soldiers and civilians and ordered his gunner "to open fire on the American soldiers if they continued to shoot the civilians. Thompson's courage undoubtedly came from a strong moral grounding. But the very fact that he had to act shows what can happen as war fractures a soldier's sense of morality and order. Through the spiritual training the army is hoping to ground soldiers in values to withstand the inherently chaotic and stressful environment of war.
So, building spiritual fitness makes sense as a way to mitigate the traumatic effects of war. But how do you strengthen someone's spirit in an entirely secular setting?
The task is given to Master Resilience Trainers through a training program connected to UPenn's Positive Psychology Center. These trainers will guide soldiers through a series of modules designed to develop and strengthen their spirit. The modules are broken into three tiers.
The first tier helps soldiers engage their core values and beliefs. This stage of self-knowledge is meant to awaken the human-spirit. Each module invites the soldier's reflection by prompting them with past stories of soldiers' valor and strength. During reflection, soldiers are encouraged to set out their values and beliefs and imagine how these values might play out in action.
Then, having discovered their spirit, the second tier exposes soldiers to a wide array of resources to help them cultivate that spirit. In particular this tier helps soldiers become aware of how spirituality can help them cope with and overcome difficult situations. After seeing the importance of spirituality, soldiers are introduced to a variety of ways to engage spiritually: ranging from meditation to mentors, music, reading or nature.
The third tier is set to cultivate an appreciation of the human spirit in others. This goal seems more than a bit ironic, and the irony only deepens, because this tier is still in development. But it fits with the social and familial pillars of the CSF program. Spirituality is a new component to the army's vision of a strong soldier, but community support has always played an essential role in a motivated, resilient, morally-grounded soldier.
Since the program is relatively new, we're left with more questions than answers. How will soldiers respond to spiritual training? Will this response vary by subgroups within the army? Is there a place for chaplains in the spiritual fitness program? And most importantly: will it work, will the program mitigate posttraumatic stress and suicides?
But aside from pragmatic questions, the army's incorporation of spirituality opens up a host of other questions. How is this different than character development? Is it possible to have a spirituality freed from any tradition? Desirable? What about spiritual experiences? If Christians experience the love of Christ, and Hindus encounter the deep profundity of Dharma, what would the secular spiritual soldier experience?
And the biggest question, the one that burns every time I read this piece: Is a spirituality that doesn't include compassion and non-violence worthy of the name? My answer is no. So, I have a hard time resolving the dissonance of an institution devoted to violence trying to use something inherently non-violent. I'm all for the army doing what it can to prevent the horrors of posttraumatic stress and suicide. I want soldiers to be healthy and return home resilient and happy. But rather than mitigate the problem, perhaps we should look at its cause. I believe that doing so would lead to a greater reform than the army's seemingly radical incorporation of spirituality.
Intrinsic vs. Extrinsic Religiosity
April 15, 2012 § Leave a comment
The religion of brickyard Gary & the religion of MLK
Poor Gary. We all know these guys, and yes, they are always guys. They find the busiest hub of campus at the busiest time of day. They pace around in boring suits, Bible in hand, and spew hellfire all over the place. This hateful man would condemn just about anything that moved. And his hate was contagious. If I sat there long enough, I'd also be fuming, but not at the girls who made Gary a little too excited and Gary's god angry.
It takes a heart as deep as MLK to not be angry at Gary. MLK was able to respond to tremendous rage and fear with love. Watch him and you'll begin to feel how extraordinary this is. And it cannot be denied that religion played an essential role in this response.
Since my goal is to parse and understand the helpful parts of religion, the enormous rift between Gary and MLK seems like an appropriate gap to explore. Really, to spend any time with religion, and in this world, requires coming up against this difference.
The difference could be described by their different pictures of God or people or salvation, but that explanation is more of a description. I want to know why. Why does religion stoke some people's fear and other's love?
In the forties and fifties there was a slew of research linking religiosity and prejudice. Study after study showed that regular churchgoers were more intolerant of minority groups. This challenged deeply held assumptions, so they'd do another study and only strengthen the connection.
I don't say this to condemn religiosity or going to church. Christopher Hitchens and the other three horsemen do a good enough job of that (with up-to-date stats which tell the same story).
So, studies are linking religion and prejudice, but at the same time people saw religion leveraging tremendous positive change for the civil rights movement. This dissonance, the same difference between Gary and MLK, led psychologists such as W. C. Wilson and G. W. Allport, to search for a deeper cause.
They did so by developing a distinction between intrinsic and extrinsic religiosity.
The intrinsically religious see religion as valuable unto itself. Instead of religion serving another motivation, religion provides the master motivation. In other words, the intrinsically religious try to order their life by their creed, not the other way around.
The extrinsically religious go to church with another end in mind (although likely subconscious). It may be making that new business connection or finding a spouse. Or it could be psychological security, solace or self-justification.
These two positions lead people to approach religion in dramatically different ways. And the distinction revealed a deeper connection than the simple correlation between religion and prejudice. It was not the religious who were intolerant, it was the extrinsically religious.
This study is old and contains many issues. Normally I try to stay a little more contemporary. But the contemporary studies I read keep referring to this distinction.
It's one of many standards that parse the different people that are too easily grouped together under the same umbrella of religious. Other standards include the wider difference between liberal and conservative mindsets. Or more specifically, distinguishing between prayers of gratitude and prayers of petition (i.e. God please give me…). Turns out, petitions are detrimental to your health.
Each of these distinctions help nuance our understanding of religion and spirituality. More importantly, they shift our focus from people's behavior to the worldviews that motivate those actions. Allport himself was hesitant to say that intrinsic/extrinsic religiosity actually caused prejudice. Instead, underlying personalities cause the link: "a life that is dependent on the supports of extrinsic religion is likely to be dependent on the supports of prejudice."
As I am trying to grasp what spirituality is and why it is helpful, these distinctions are incredibly illuminating. More important they help us occupy each other's worldview. Understanding is an antidote for viral hate. If I can grasp Gary's mindset, even just a little bit, then there will be a little less hate on the planet. To me, that seems intrinsically useful.
Responding to Tragedies
April 14, 2012 § Leave a comment
Bad things happen to everyone: from failed projects to lost jobs; broken bones to cancer; loved ones die. This was Buddha's first noble truth: life is dukkha or suffering. But, we respond to suffering in a variety of ways. For religious believers these tragic events can make or break their faith. In times of tragedy, some find comfort in their faith. Others, unable to reconcile a good God doing bad things, reject their faith. And, there is a spectrum of responses in-between. But, what makes us react these different ways?
A couple of years ago, a dear childhood friend lost his little brother. His brother, otherwise perfectly healthy, dropped dead one day while playing baseball. For me, this loss of a young, vibrant life is the epitome of tragedy. Afterwards, my friend's mother fell into a deep depression that remains unresolved. But, my friend admirably carries both his grief and his faith. This question, of how we react to tragedy, is not mere intellectual curiosity. It bears deep implications for how we live. This means that any study into the cause of our responses is facing a monumental task.
New research out of Seattle Pacific University looks at how our "cognitive flexibility" impacts our response. Cognitive flexibility is a way of describing the scope of our awareness. If you can imagine many different ways to cope with a situation then you likely have high cognitive flexibility. If I can't imagine your point of view, then I need to do a little more cognitive stretching.
Trauma, understandably, has a negative effect on cognitive flexibility. A variety of studies have described the black-and-white, absolutistic, thinking common in people with PTSD. While major life events can affect our cognitive flexibility, this flexibility can also impact our lives. Other research shows that a high cognitive flexibility makes it easier to handle disagreements in relationships and to forgive others.
So, if cognitive flexibility helps us forgive others, then it would make sense that it also helps people forgive God after a hurricane wrecks their home. But, whether it is correlated or causal isn't so clear. Russell McCann and Marcia Webb, Clinical Psychologists from SPU, set out to disentangle the complex knot of how traumatic events affect our view of God.
They gave their participants three surveys. The first measured the presence of PTSD symptoms: intrusive memories of the trauma,; numbness or avoidance; or hyperarousal- being jumpy or easily startled. It's important to remember that they simply measured symptoms not the nature of the trauma itself.
The second survey measured cognitive flexibility. And they finally measured how people relate to God with the aptly (and humorously) named "Suffering with God Scale." From this third survey McCann and Webb found two primary ways people react to God after a traumatic event: they either "endure" or they "struggle" with God.
"Enduring" is sticking with your faith through the difficulty. It was measured with statements like "My faith is strengthened through hard times." "Struggling" on the other hand, means taking God to task or abandoning the schmuck altogether. Struggling was rated by people's anger towards God or difficulty forgiving.
After taking these three measures, they ran a variety of statistical analyses to look for any relationships. A couple of relationships emerged, but even these relationships were not clean and crisp.
As expected, the more traumatic symptoms people had, the more likely they were to struggle with God. But, those with higher cognitive flexibility struggled less. So, regardless of flexibility, tragedies will likely make you angry with God, but the more flexible you are, the less pissed you'll be at God after a crisis.
There seemed to be a threshold in how cognitive flexibility affected enduring. Low flexibility led one to stick with God less as traumatic symptoms increase. But, people with medium and high flexibility endured more. So if you can imagine alternatives and handle paradox you are more likely to find comfort in your faith in spite of tragedies.
In many ways this study simply confirmed expectations: tragedies led us to question God and the more imaginative we are, the less likely we are to be shook by those tragedies. But, when I think of my friend and his mother, the results feel unsatisfying. Am I simply to say "oh, she's just depressed because of low cognitive flexibility." Forget anger towards God, I'd have some rightly earned anger coming at me!
In the light of real suffering the results feel a bit trivial. But, I imagine this is because the question is so personal and so complex. We want a simply solution, but the Gordian Knot of suffering is too tangled for easy answers.
Trauma is too multifaceted to be measured by a single standard. You may be able to trace symptoms, as this study did, but this doesn't distinguish between the variety of trauma. Losing a loved one, being sexually assaulted and handling the terror of war are all incredibly different traumas. No doubt, each event will affect how we see the sacred, but these effects will be dramatically different, even if the symptoms are similar.
How we relate to the sacred, is also a very complex relationship. Struggle could mean the intense spiritual crucible of doubt that challenges and transforms ideas of the sacred. Or, it could simply mean being pissed at God. Enduring could mean the persistence of Mother Teresa's belief during a dark night of the soul, or the simple steady acceptance that doesn't engage doubt. This study completely leaves out atheists, whose response to suffering must be taken into account.
The knot of suffering is made of many threads. And they are tangled beyond any simple solution. Even though McCann and Webb didn't find a clear and clean relationship, they slightly loosened the problem and showed how one thread, cognitive flexibility, is bound up in the mess. While the results may not be the easy answer we crave, every small unraveling of the knot is helpful.

Simulate many samples from a logistic regression model
My last blog post showed how to simulate data for a logistic regression model with two continuous variables. To keep the discussion simple, I simulated a single sample with N observations. However, to obtain the sampling distribution of statistics, you need to generate many samples from the same logistic model. […]Post a Comment
Simulating data for a logistic regression model
In my book Simulating Data with SAS, I show how to use the SAS DATA step to simulate data from a logistic regression model.

Approximating a distribution from published quantiles
A colleague asked me an interesting question: I have a journal article that includes sample quantiles for a variable. Given a new data value, I want to approximate its quantile. I also want to simulate data from the distribution of the published data. Is that possible? This situation is common. […]Post a Comment
Convenient functions vs. efficient subroutines: Your choice
I've pointed out in the past that in the SAS/IML language matrices are passed to modules "by reference." This means that large matrices are not copied in and out of modules but are updated "in place." As a result, the SAS/IML language can be very efficient when it computes with […]Post a Comment
Simulate lognormal data with specified mean and variance

Apparently not all Israelis are against the brokered nuclear deal the Western superpowers made with Iran. Really, ask any of the Israeli brass; Iran deal will help oil production; and after the deal, many expect Israel to feel the pressure to dismantle their nuclear weapons.
The establishment in Saudi loves American products, but what of those cursed models with their elbows and knees all exposed? Israel to be a lone wolf and attack Iran; and children celebrate a country that they will never belong to.

Europeans love the Eighties and when they brought Enya and Van Damme back for a video, I don't think Volvo even knew it would be this awesome, dude; Saudi justice questioned; and Turkish airlines giving startups a fighting chance.

Though China and Russia voted against, the UN Draft Resolution focuses on the abuse of human rights. Who wrote the draft? Saudi Arabia; fearful in Libya; quick change artists on KSA flights; and Iran has its own awesome drone.

Congressman John Fleming, M.D. will be hosting a Congressional Field Hearing on Giant Salvinia, an invasive aquatic fern that has rapidly proliferated throughout waterways in the Ark-La-Tex. Native to Brazil, Giant Salvinia clogs waterways, blocks sunlight, and depletes oxygen levels, resulting in severe impacts on commercial and recreational activities.

Shreveport Police detectives investigating an alleged kidnapping and rape now believe the suspect responsible for that crime may have attacked another victim late last month.
The Shreveport Police Department will conduct a safety checkpoint tomorrow in south Shreveport.
The checkpoint will be held Friday morning, May 27, 2011 as an integral component of an ongoing, singular commitment on the part of authorities to reduce the number of deaths and injuries reported on our roadways.
Shreveport Police Chief Willie Shaw is pleased to announce the department is unveiling its official Facebook and Twitter pages today.
For the past 18 months or so, officials at the department have been looking at how other law enforcement agencies and governmental entities use social media in their day to day operations.
Two Shreveport companies have teamed up to create an interactive, animated story book iPad app for the young and young at heart. Moonbot Studios and Twin Engine Labs have been collaborating on the project for the past eight months. Based on Bill Joyce's book and short video by the same name, "The Fantastic Flying Books of Mr. Morris Lessmore" should be hitting the Apple iTunes store sometime this week.
Local skateboarders can catch a glimpse of themselves in action next week when the long-awaited Shreveport episode of ``Rob Dyrdek's Fantasy Factory'' is shown on MTV. The program is set to air at 9:30 p.m. Monday, May 23.

There seems to be an endless stream of spy shots scrolling across out digital desktops here at Autoblog, and some will invariably be more interesting than others. But few are as hotly anticipated as the new Viper that's coming roaring around the corner.
So far, all Chrysler has given us is a shadowy sketch, a close-up detail shot, and the new badge that will represent the model, joining the test mule spy shots we've been seeing for the past several months and the Hot Wheels leak we brought you yesterday. But this latest batch of spy shots appears the clearest yet – despite the best efforts of the SRT development team (including a Dukes of Hazzard-style hood slide that compelled KGP Photography to do a quick bit of wry image manipulation).
So what can we see from these pics? Ventilation, and lots of it. There is a pair of massive hood vents that pass air through the grille over the hood like you'd expect to see on a Le Mans race car. And through the mesh on Dolly Parton-size hood bra you can see a pair of uprights in the grille forming a V shape that's a slight departure from the crosshair grille of the previous Vipers. (Remember, this is technically an SRT product and – like the Ram trucks – no longer a Dodge.)
We're also seeing the clearest shots yet of the interior, with what looks like a full digital dashboard (complete with 220 mph speedo) instead of analog instruments. With each passing day, we hope to see a little more, but for now you can check out the full batch of spy shots in the gallery for a closer look.
