Anxiety! Why We're Anxious and the Secret to Getting Better
Anxiety and its next of kin, fear, are arguably the oldest, most basic human emotions, bequeathed to us by a vast history of prehominid ancestors. We owe our survival as Homo sapiens to these emotions, which were literally built into our nervous systems as an evolutionary hedge against extinction. Yet today, while still protecting us from genuine danger, they've morphed into a multitude of extraneous and dysfunctional afflictions—panic disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, phobias, and all-purpose generalized anxiety disorder (summoning up anxieties on any and all occasions)—the only effect of which seems to be to torment us pointlessly.
When I began my practice, psychotherapists still knew precious little about anxiety, even though it was probably the commonest form of suffering among the clients we saw. By and large, it was considered a symptom of some deeper psychodynamic process, and analysts helped clients find the deep-seated meaning behind their fears. The working Freudian hypothesis of agoraphobia in women, for instance, was that they withdrew to their homes out of an unconscious fear that they'd become prostitutes.
It wasn't until the 1960s, when behavioral psychologist Joseph Wolpe's experimental research perfected relaxation techniques and systematic desensitization, that anxiety began to be treated as a separate problem. To treat a fear of dogs, for instance, Wolpe taught the patient how to become deeply relaxed. He then introduced imagery that evoked a weak anxiety response, such as seeing a dog from a great distance and chained behind a fence. Relaxation procedures counteracted the anxiety produced by that image until it no longer distressed the patient. Wolpe would then introduce a slightly stronger anxiety-provoking image, such as being 20 feet away from a fenced-in dog, until it, too, ceased to arouse anxiety. Progressing up the hierarchy of fears about dogs led to recovery.
When it came to working with anxious clients, my own biggest asset was my experience, early in my career, of treating chronic pain patients in a hospital setting. I discovered that there were a number of similarities between the way people handle chronic pain and the way they handle anxiety symptoms. Those in chronic pain will anticipate their next pain episode with dread, so even though an episode might last only 10 minutes twice a day, it can dominate a pain patient's waking hours.
Once I realized that I could substitute "panic attack" for "pain episode," I began to get my bearings on treating the panic in agoraphobics, who'd started getting referred to me after a series of stories in the national media gave the condition a label for the first time. At first, I'd been hesitant to accept these referrals, but soon changed my mind. "Wait a minute," I thought, "I know something about this." Soon I'd cobbled together a treatment procedure.
I started by teaching agoraphobic clients formal relaxation, although I knew from my struggles with pain patients that, while relaxation could help some, it would never be enough. Additionally, I expected to use systematic desensitization, because it had worked well for the few clients I'd seen who'd had specific phobias. But with clients who feared panic, the method failed me. Since a panic attack arrives so unexpectedly, the client instantly becomes aroused to the highest degree and feels out of control. I couldn't seem to undo that reflexive response by pairing relaxation with anxiety-provoking imagery of the event. Clients felt too scared to trust that these relaxation and desensitization skills would protect them.
I had to shift my thinking. I couldn't help my clients undercut the intensity of their fear through some formal procedure in my office. Instead of progressing up a list of anxiety-provoking situations, I needed to focus on the on-off switch of panic. These clients either avoided their anxiety and felt comfortable or faced the threat and zoomed up to peak anxiety. I had to address the moment of panic. When you anticipate an anxiety attack, you desperately want something you can do that will bring immediate relief. I figured my primary strategy needed to focus on skills for responding to the actual feeling of panic.

Is there a pronoun I can use as a gender-neutral pronoun?
Each student should save his questions until the end.
Each student should save her questions until the end.
Is there a pronoun I can use as a gender-neutral pronoun?
Singular they enjoys a long history of usage in English and can be used here: "Each student should save their questions until the end."
However, "singular they" also enjoys a long history of criticism. If you are anxious about being criticized (for what is in fact a perfectly grammatical construction) I would advise rewording to avoid having to use a gender-neutral singular third-person pronoun.
Some rewording strategies that can be employed:
And to round out the answers here, one is a very proper way to encompass both male and female antecedents.
It is common to write, "Each student should save his or her questions until the end" or to vary his and her throughout your text. In speech you will often hear native speakers say, "Each student should save their questions until the end."
For what it's worth, in academic writing I exclusively use the singular third person masculine "he", recognized by many as gender-neutral. Many other languages do this without concern: German and Spanish come to mind.
In everyday speech I will unconsciously use singular "they". In my book, this has unquestionably drifted into very common use in all but the most formal situations.
I remember reading somewhere that it was recommended to use the opposite of what most people stereotype the profession as. So, for example, when talking about a chiropractor, you would use "her", and when talking about a secretary, you would use "his".
Her is not recommended or standard. His is standard, though the recommended way would be to change "Each student should.." to "The students should...".
"Students should..." is more abstract, and refers to students in general, rather than a specific group of students.
The "singular they" sounds totally wrong to my ear. But I am conscious of the implicit gender bias our language can have at times. So, I prefer to choose "his" or "her" either at random, or with a bias against the stereotype: use "his" when most people would assume you're talking about a woman; use "her" when most would assume a man.
It's not my area of expertise, I'm not using it, and just learned about its existence today, so just for reference from Wikipedia's Spivak pronoun:
I have noticed more and more, both his and her being used, not alternatively by paragraph as another suggested, but within larger divisions of the the writing. For example, in a baby book, which covers many, many topics, each topic will use either his or her exclusively. It seems to be a fairly even balance, and not confusing to the reader.
There have been a number of efforts to create new pronouns that would be gender neutral. Some other posters here have given examples. But none of these have really caught on. I'll hazard the prediction that none will. It's difficult enough to invent a new word and get people to use it. To invent a new word in a context where people are routinely using an existing word is very difficult. Pronouns are more difficult still as they are used ALL THE TIME. That is, if you invent a new word for, say, a type of fish, someone writing about fish could mention the new word, define it for those unfamiliar with it, and then use it a few times in the following discussion. Someone expecting to learn something new about fish wouldn't be too jarred to learn a new word along with some new facts. But pronouns are used all the time in many contexts -- heck, it almost EVERY context. And they are used over and over. You don't use a word like "it" or "she" just two or three times in a page of text -- you use it dozens of times, often multiple times within one sentence. Using a new pronoun really stands out and is jarring and distracting.
So in real life, the solutions offerred to this problem are:
Personally I generally use #1 for formal writing (because it retains strict grammatical correctness), and #2 for informal writing and speech.
Either of your suggestions is appropriate in formal written text, with "his" a much more common formulation. "Their" is even more common, but less accepted in the most highly pedantic communities.
If you want to avoid the question altogether, as nohat suggests, simply drop the pronoun. "Each student should save questions until the end" is perfectly standard.
Historical note (USA). When I started learning English, I was taught unequivocally that he/him/his was to be used when referring to a singular person of unknown gender (e.g. a hypothetical person). Then while I was still in school there was a long, concerted effort by feminists to change this usage as they saw it as making females feel like second class people. As an example, they would ask, how do you fill in the blank in this sentence:
If you fill in the blank with he (as I was taught and had been the rule for a very long time), the argument goes, you are sending a message to girls that they should not be encouraged to become doctors. I found it very irritating because the rules I had just learned were being challenged. Even worse, there was no agreed upon new rule and I was still in that childhood phase of wanting strict rules about whatever I was learning. Many alternatives were proposed, and for more than a decade writers struggled with the issue, but by now the most widely accepted solution is to use the singular they. If a child wants to become a doctor, they should be encouraged. I have come to fully embrace it.
Edit: I have been enlightened through this Q&A as to much earlier examples of this same kind of argument, such as:
This is the first I've heard of such arguments despite having had many arguments over he versus they in the 1970's and 1980's. I will simply point out that while it does show that the argument is quite old, it also shows that the controversy is quite old.
I've seen (and used in one job) a recommendation to switch between "his" and "her", switching each paragraph.
His is correct. All others are for specific cases only. There has been some political motivation in recent years to change it, but it is what it is.
Here is a comprehensive answer from Oxford Dictionaries Website:
Four different solutions are discussed:
OD advocates the usage of "they" as a singular pronoun and repels the argument that such usage is grammatically incorrect.
I found the word hes at chem-bla-ics.blogspot.com/2010/12/what-is-hes.html - but I couldn't find any reference for that - I hope it's not his own concoction. According to the blogger, 'hes' is a (probably obsolete) singular neuter pronoun:
The only reference I could find is from yourdictionary.com where hes is defined as "a variant of he".
NPR did an interesting story about the use of "Yo" as a gender neutral pronoun: "'Yo'! Baltimore Kids Create a Pronoun", NPR, January 31, 2008
A study was done and was published in the journal American Speech: "A New Gender-Neutral Pronoun in Baltimore, Maryland: A Preliminary Study".
There is noteworthy precedent for it in Shakespeare's A Midsummer Night's Dream, where Oberon tells Puck about the magic purple flower:
The rejection or even revulsion that this obvious solution provokes (as does the old-fashioned use of this same pronoun for an infant) suggests that we hold the person/thing distinction sacred, far more important even than the male/female distinction. Would that our culture more generally bore out that suggestion.

MUHLENBERG COUNTY, Ky. (5/21/13) – A screening committee has been formed to help conduct the search for a new superintendent for Muhlenberg County Schools. The committee members, as selected by their peers, are Rajiv Johar, parent representative; Deanna Noffsinger, classified representative; Ken Carver and Philip Oliver, certified representative.
In addition, Chairman Don Richey appointed board member Margaret Williams to serve as the board representative to the Superintendent Search Committee.
Williams will be replacing Dr. Kelly Tarter, who had been previously appointed, but asked to have his name removed. The screening committee will hold its first meeting in conjunction with the Board of Education on June 24, 2013.

Ranking somewhat behind the Encyclopedia, Chronology and Tech Manuals, this book is more interesting than useful. It's essentially a compilation of some of the artwork and props which have been done for Trek over the years, along with some discussion of how and why they were done. The most fascinating aspect is the array of stuff that never made it onto the screen - you see a lot of alternate designs for the different incarnations of the Enterprise, different versions of the aliens, alternate ideas for uniform design or bridge layout.
The images range from rough pencil sketches through high quality artwork, including some of the matte paintings used on the shows themselves. There are also many photographs of actual props.

text: Still a terrible musical. I always thought the original movie was just dreadful. I had heard such great things about the stage adaptation that I had some hope that it fixed many of the original's problems. Nope. Despite a mostly talented and energetic cast, the songs, dances, story, and book are just awful and incredibly stupid. This was spoon-fed to children who didn't know better in the early 90's. I'm not sure how their nostalgia has overpowered their brains now that the initial fan base has grown up. Do your kids a favor and don't expose a new generation to this mediocrity.

- Mesogen (1) (remove)
- New fluorene based materials for organic electronics (2005)
- The major topic of this PhD thesis is the synthesis of a number of conjugated polymers and low mass model compounds from fluorene and bithiophene building blocks. Such materials are attractive candidates for application in organic light emitting diodes (OLEDs) and organic field effect transistors (OFETs). The first part of my thesis deals with the synthesis of reactive mesogens with conjugated fluorene units and acrylate end groups as photopolymeriseable species. They were prepared by Suzuki cross coupling reactions with the use of a monofunctional endcapper. Careful MALDI-TOF and GPC analysis show that this procedure leads to fluorene oligomers which are terminated with two acrylate units. This synthetic route drastically reduces the number of steps compared to the synthesis of monodisperse fluorene trimers or pentamers and makes fluorene reactive mesogens available in a gram scale. The materials show broad nematic mesophases. The clearing temperatures can be shifted from 100 °C to 310 °C by changing the molecular weight of the oligomers. The orientation of the crosslinked reactive mesogens on top of rubbed polyimide layers results in a maximum orientation ratio of 15/1 parallel and perpendicular to the rubbing direction. A major advantage of reactive mesogens as materials for OLEDs and OFETs is their ability to be photocrosslinked. By this procedure the liquid crystalline orientation is permanently fixed by a densely crosslinked network. In order to apply reactive mesogens it is necessary to understand the process of photocrosslinking in detail. This process was investigated by PhotoDSC measurements on two different mesogens, one with a nematic and one with a smectic mesophase. The kinetics of the photopolymerisation reactions and the total conversion in dependence from initiator concentration of the reactive mesogen with the nematic mesophase were measured. It becomes clear that the reaction rate and the total conversion decrease with smaller amounts of photoinitiator. Nevertheless a conversion of 75 % can be realised with only 0.01 weight % of initiator, which is much less than is usually used in photopolymerisations. We were able to polymerise the other reactive mesogen in the smectic mesophase. Nevertheless this phase is at lower temperatures compared to the isotropic phase, the polymerisation kinetics is faster and a maximum conversion of 75 % is reached. Apart from the work on reactive mesogens new materials for the use in OFETs are part of this thesis. Since the HOMO levels of pure fluorene compounds are too low for an efficient charge carrier injection in OFETs fluorene and bithiophene building blocks have been combined. For the use in OFETs the alternating polymer containing 9,9-dioctylfluorene and bithiophene monomers (F8T2) is one of the best investigated polymers. To overcome the problem of the very high transition temperature from the nematic in the isotropic phase which hinders an efficient orientation a synthesis of oligomers based on the F8T2 structure but with a lower molecular weight was developed, to obtain a new class of stable and solution processable materials for OFET applications. The molecular weight can be tuned by the amount of the monofunctionalised 2-bromofluorene which acts as an endcapper. Like F8T2, all oligomers show broad nematic phases. The clearing temperature can be tailored by varying the molecular weight of the oligomers between 80 °C and 288 °C. A plot of the reciprocal polymerisation degree versus the clearing temperature of these oligomers with different degree of polymerisation results in a clearing temperature of 366 °C for the ideal polymer. The better control of purity compared with polymers or oligomers and the well defined structure renders small molecules attractive candidates for the use in OFETs. A number of mixed fluorene-bithiophene trimers with different alkyl side chains in the 9 position have been synthesised. The characterisation by cyclic voltammetry results in a HOMO level of – 5.3 eV. This is exactly the desired level for efficient hole injection from the gold or conducting polymer electrodes in an OFET. We have tested three of the trimers in OFETs and found that the mobility varied from 10exp.-5 cm2/Vs in an amorphous film to 3x10exp.-3 cm2/Vs in a polycrystalline material. To demonstrate the stability of this material, measurements were performed after three months storage under ambient conditions. The mobility was the same as in a freshly prepared device. Almost no hysteresis can be detected even after a few months at ambient conditions. The preserved high mobility is another hint, that the molecules are much more stable than pure thiophene materials.

|Moral :
|Security at the penal colony seems extremely lax. The 'cells' have ventilation ducts that you can crawl through, and they don't appear to check their cargo containers for escaping prisoners.
|Great Moment :
|Spock's mind meld. The first one ever seen, and a truly alien moment for Spock.
Also, I have to mention Helen Noel. Trek tended to plaster attractive women all over the place, often seemingly more as decoration than anything, but Noel stands up to Kirk, gets in on the action at the colony, and ultimately kills a bad guy and saves the day. Excellent stuff for a one-off character!
|Body Count :
|Two in the asylum
|Factoid :
|This episode features the first use of the famous Vulcan mind meld, though it's not actually referred to as that.
Another first - Dr Noel is the first woman in Star Trek to kill somebody.
In the original story idea it was Rand who accompanied Kirk down to the planet. The writers changed it to a guest character so as to avoid showing romantic attachment between Kirk and Rand.
The episode title is from Macbeth. "Or art thou but a dagger of the mind, a false creation proceeding from the heat-oppressed brain?"
Morgan Woodward put such physical and emotional energy into the part of Van Gelder that afterwards he went home and rested for four days to recover.
Marianna Hill, who plays Helen Noel, was born Marianna Schwarzkopf and is a cousin to the well known American General "Stormin" Norman Schwarzkopf who commanded the allied forces in the first Gulf War.
|Quote :
|"A cage is a cage, Jim." - McCoy to Kirk; unimpressed with his description of how humane the colony is
"To all mankind. May we never find space so vast, planets so cold, heart and mind so empty that we cannot fill them with love and warmth." - Adams; His toast
"Interesting. Your Earth people glorify organized violence for forty centuries, but you imprison those who employ it privately." - Spock to McCoy
"One of the advantages of being a captain, doctor, is being able to ask for advice without necessarily having to take it." - Kirk to Noel
"Open your mind... we move together, our minds sharing the same thoughts." - Spock; performing a meld on Van Gelder
"Can you imagine the mind, emptied by that thing? Without even a tormentor for company?" - Kirk to Spock; about Adams
On a routine mission to deliver some cargo to the Tantalus Penal Colony, the Enterprise takes has a little trouble beaming down the crates because the colony has a shield around it. Quickly correcting the problem the ship is able to complete its mission. However, unknown to them one of the inmates has stowed away in a crate beamed up to the ship. He makes his way to the bridge, demanding asylum. Spock renders him unconscious and he is taken to sickbay. However, things don't quite seem to add up. The man proves to be Van Gelder, one of the Tantalus staff rather than an inmate there. He was assigned only six months earlier, and it seems strange that he would have deteriorated quite so much in such a short time.
Kirk beams down with Doctor Helen Noel, a psychiatrist. He's rather embarrassed to be in her company as the two shared a little private time at the Christmas party, but continues regardless. Beaming down the pair meet Adams, who tells them than Van Gelder injured his mind during the testing of an experimental therapy device called the neural neuralizer.
On the ship McCoy tries to care for Van Gelder, but the man is raving. Whenever he tries to discuss the situation on Tantalus he acts as though he is deeply traumatised and in extreme pain. Spock suggests that he may be able to help by performing an ancient Vulcan procedure called a "Mind Meld", a form of touch telepathy that may allow him to probe Van Gelder's mind despite the resistance and learn what has happened to him. Although McCoy is a little dubious they proceed. Spock is able to contact Van Gelder, effectively merging their minds for a period. He learns that Adams has been carrying out experiments on the inmates of Tantalus, altering their thoughts.
Back on the surface Kirk and Noel wait for a quiet time and slip in to take a look at the neuralizer. Kirk sits in the treatment chair and Noel turns it on. The effect is startling - Kirk's face and mind go completely blank whilst the machine is on, leaving him with no idea that any time has passed. They try again, and this time she suggests that he is hungry. When the machine is turned off, Kirk comes to and instantly starts talking about how hungry he is. When Kirk suggests she try a more unusual suggestion, Noel paints a somewhat more romantic picture of their Christmas party meeting in his mind. However, Doctor Adams arrives and takes over. He turns the machine to a higher setting, causing Kirk considerable pain, and tells him that he is madly in love with Noel. The two are locked in together in a room. When Kirk recovers he is instantly in love with Noel, much to her discomfort. She manages to talk him around a little and they decide to make an escape attempt. They open up one of the ventilation ducts and Noel crawls down it, trying to find the shield controls.
Adams arrives to take Kirk for more "treatment". Meanwhile Noel reaches the shield system. She is attacked by a man but fight him off successfully, and ultimately shoves him into a high voltage circuit panel, electrocuting him. With the shield down Spock and a security team are able to beam down to the facility. In the struggle Adams is accidentally left on the neuralizer chair with it set to high. He is not found for some time, by which prolonged exposure to the machine with no orders to be implanted has resulted in his mind being all but wiped clean away. Van Gelder, cured of his own condition, takes over the running of the colony. He reports that he has dismantled and destroyed the machine.
Not a terrible effort, but this one really suffers in the characterisation of the bad guy. Of the three main guest characters, Noel is absolutely wonderful, a smart, competent woman who can hold her own with Kirk and take down a bad guy when she has to. Van Gelder is wonderfully manic and tortured, a great performance. But Adams... oh my. What's his motivation here? Is he using this machine to honestly try and cure people for their own good? If so then why is he suddenly torturing people towards the end? As soon as it is clear that Kirk and the Enterprise are on to his game, he's sunk. He surely must know he's not going to be able to reprogram Kirk and Noel sufficiently to send them back to the Enterprise and have it turn out well, and he can't seriously think he's going to hold the Enterprise off forever with his forcefield. We know he needs supplies from the outside, so sooner or later he will run out of something important and the game is up. So he's torturing Kirk and Noel for... what? His own personal amusement? He's bad for the sake of being bad.

He may be 36-years-old with only a 12-month Red Bull contract to his name, but Mark Webber is pretty confident 2013 won't be his last season in F1.
This year marks the Australian's 11th on the grid, but rarely a season goes by these days without reports suggesting that he will hang up his racing gloves at the end of the year.
Even though he is the oldest driver on the grid and despite not being tied down on a long-term deal with the Milton Keynes squad, Webber is still young at heart.
"I am the oldest but I am not the most experienced. Jenson Button has done the most races!" he told The Sun.
"It means absolutely jack s***. If Michael Schumacher was still on the grid, then how would that make me feel any different?
"I still feel 25. I know I am not but I feel young. I don't feel as though I am getting tired when driving the car. I feel good.
"I don't see this as my last year in Formula One. I have signed one-year contracts for the last four-years here even when I am fighting for the world Championship."
Webber will be the first to admit that he is not the golden child at Red Bull with the team's advisor Helmut Marko often criticising him.
Marko earlier this year questioned his ability to drive under pressure, but the veteran refuses to lose sleep over it.
"Of course I was not impressed with his comments but he has an agenda and I am not part of that," he said.
"I was never a Red Bull Junior driver. We are all entitled to our opinions."

Marrying vivid eyewitness storytelling to his laserlike analysis, Jeffrey Sachs sets the stage by drawing a vivid conceptual map of the world economy and the different categories into which countries fall. Then, in a tour de force of elegance and compression, he explains why, over the past two hundred years, wealth has diverged across the planet in the manner that it has and why the poorest nations have been so markedly unable to escape the cruel vortex of poverty. The groundwork laid, he explains his methods for arriving, like a clinical internist, at a holistic diagnosis of a country's situation and the options it faces. Rather than deliver a worldview to readers from on high, Sachs leads them along the learning path he himself followed, telling the remarkable stories of his own work in Bolivia, Poland, Russia, India, China, and Africa as a way to bring readers to a broad-based understanding of the array of issues countries can face and the way the issues interrelate. He concludes by drawing on everything he has learned to offer an integrated set of solutions to the interwoven economic, political, environmental, and social problems that most frequently hold societies back. In the end, he leaves readers with an understanding, not of how daunting the world's problems are, but how solvable they are—and why making the effort is a matter both of moral obligation and strategic self-interest. A work of profound moral and intellectual vision that grows out of unprecedented real-world experience, The End of Poverty is a road map to a safer, more prosperous future for the world.
"Sachs proposes a many-pronged, needs-based attack…that is eminently practical and minimally pipe-dreamy…A solid, reasonable argument in which the dismal science offers a brightening prospect for the world's poor." —Kirkus
"This is an excellent, understandable book on a critical topic and should be required reading for students and participants in public policy as well as those who doubt the problem of world poverty can be solved." —Mary Whaley, Booklist
Table of Contents
"Jeffrey Sachs is that rare phenomenon: an academic economist famous for his theories about why some countries are poor and others rich, and also famous for his successful practical work in helping poor countries become richer. In this long awaited, fascinating, clearly and movingly written book, he distills his experience to propose answers to the hard choices now facing the world." ?Jared Diamond, Pulitzer Prize winning author of Guns, Germs and Steel and Collapse
He has been cited by The New York Times Magazine as "probably the most important economist in the world" and by Time as "the world's best-known economist." He has advised an extraordinary range of world leaders and international institutions on the full range of issues related to creating economic success and reducing the world's poverty and misery. Now, at last, he draws on his entire twenty-five-year body of experience to offer a thrilling and inspiring big-picture vision of the keys to economic success in the world today and the steps that are necessary to achieve prosperity for all.
On the web: http://www.earthinstitute.columbia.edu/endofpoverty/
The path from poverty to development has come incredibly fast in the span of human history. Two hundred years ago, the idea that we could potentially achieve the end of poverty would have been unimaginable. Just about everybody was poor with the exception of a very small minority of royals and landed gentry. Life was as difficult in much of Europe as it was in India or China. With very few exceptions, your great-great-grandparents were poor and most likely living on the farm. One leading economic historian, Angus Maddison, puts the average income per person in Western Europe in 1820 at around 90 percent of the average income of sub-Saharan Africa today. Life expectancy in Western Europe and Japan as of 1800 was probably about forty years.
There was little sense a few centuries ago of vast divides in wealth and poverty around the world. China, India, Europe, and Japan all had similar income levels at the time of European discoveries of the sea routes to Asia, Africa, and the Americas. Marco Polo, of course, marveled at the sumptuous wonders of China, not at its poverty. Cortés and his conquistadores expressed astonishment at the riches of Tenochtitlán, the capital of the Aztecs. The early Portuguese explorers in Africa were impressed with the well-ordered towns in West Africa.
Until the mid-1700s, the world was remarkably poor by any of today's standards. Life expectancy was extremely low; children died in vast numbers in the now rich countries as well as the poor countries. Disease and epidemics, not just the black death of Europe, but many waves of disease, from smallpox and measles to other epidemics, regularly washed through society and killed mass numbers of people. Episodes of hunger and extreme weather and climate fluctuations sent societies crashing. The rise and fall of the Roman Empire, for Arnold Toynbee, was much like the rise and decline of all other civilizations before and since. Economic history had long been one of ups and downs, growth followed by decline, rather than sustained economic progress.
The Novelty of Modern Economic Growth
If we are to understand why vast gaps between rich and poor exist today, we need therefore to understand a very recent period of human history during which these vast gaps opened. The past two centuries, since around 1800, constitute a unique era in economic history, a period that the great economic historian Simon Kuznets famously termed the period of Modern Economic Growth, or MEG for short. Before the era of MEG, indeed for thousands of years, there had been virtually no sustained economic growth in the world and only gradual increases in the human population…;

Farlow earns return trip to state finals
PORTLAND – It was a record setting day at the Jay County girls' swimming sectional and South Adams had a seat at the table.
The Starfish, who finished fifth in the team standings, saw three school records broken, and watched Cady Farlow take down her own sectional record as she earned a return to the IHSAA state finals with a win in the 100-yard breaststroke.
Muncie Central edged Jay County 386-375 for the team championship. Bellmont was third with 298 points; South Adams fifth with 224; and Adams Central took tenth with 60.
Farlow punched her return ticket to state with a dominant performance in the breaststroke. She finished in 1:07.07 (also a South Adams record), ...

"Loved it"
By sarita Dhaubhadel
Comments: I ordered it for my brother in law and sister in law's 50 years wedding anniversary. We wanted to make it special gift. When the order arrived, we were reluctant to open thinking whether it will disappoint us. Once we opened it was as expected. We absolutely loved it. We are giving them on July 12. We hope they will adore it. Thanks
"beautiful work"

Comments: I ordered a 50 year anniversary plate for my parents. I was very pleased with the quality of the plate and workmanship of the engraving.

Illustration by Chuck Ripper
This goatsucker performs flight displays and roosts conspicuously. Normally solitary, it sometimes forages or migrates in loose flocks. Polytypic. Length 8.8–9.6" (22–24 cm).
Identification Varies geographically. Upperparts black to paler brownish gray; crown and upper back darkest; paler markings concentrated on upperwing coverts, scapulars, tertials. Underparts barred blackish brown and white or buff, chest and malar area darker, spotted with buff or dull white. Adult male: white throat patch, subterminal tail band, and primary patch about halfway between bend of wing and wing tip. Adult female: throat patch buffy, primary patch smaller, tail band reduced or lacking. Juvenile: generally paler, more uniform above with finer spotting and vermiculations.
Geographic Variation Nine subspecies, 7 in North America. Eastern birds darkest, blackish above, less mottling on back; nominate minor (large), chapmani (smaller). Great Plains-Great Basin-Southwestern birds paler, grayer; henryi (medium size), howelli (large), sennetti (large), and aserriensis (small). Western hesperis relatively dark, grayer, large. Juvenile minor and chapmani blackish; sennetti palest; hesperis, howelli, aserriensis intermediate; henryi rusty.
Similar Species Position of wing patch, lack of buff spotting on primaries, pointier wing, and darker underwing coverts eliminate Lesser. Separation from Antillean problematic; best told by voice, but Antillean also usually smaller, shorter winged, and buffier on belly and undertail coverts.
Voice Call: nasal peent by male in flight; multiple-syllable variation may suggest Antillean. Male courtship dive vibrates primaries, producing "boom."
Status and Distribution Common. Breeding: open habitats. Migration: in spring, arrives early April–mid-June, peak May, arrival later in North, West; departs late July–October, peak September, stragglers into November. Winter: South America; casual Gulf Coast. Vagrant: casual/accidental, mainly fall, Hawaii, northern Canada, and United Kingdom.
Population Some declines in parts of East.

He got the message
Barry Larkin discovered exactly what it means to be a Hall of Famer Monday afternoon.
"I got the call to say I had been elected," Larkin said. "And the next thing I knew I had 400 text messages to respond to. I'm down to 298 now."
It will take Larkin weeks to respond to all the congratulatory notes he received after becoming the 24th shortstop elected to the Hall of Fame. His phone was filled with messages from ESPN co-workers like Karl Ravech and former teammates like Hall of Famer Tony Perez.
But the one message that almost didn't get through belonged to a special fan.
"My daughter told me someone had called for me… She said it was Ben or Bub…," Larkin said. "I said: 'You mean Bud? Bud Selig?' I couldn't believe the Commissioner took time to call.
"It's wonderful how many people have called or sent messages. You just can't believe the outpouring of support."
The incredibly humble Larkin is a favorite throughout the baseball community for his skill on the field and character off it. Few generate the universally positive reaction he draws, and it seems all of Cincinnati is celebrating the election of their hometown hero.
The Class of 2012 couldn't be classier.

Is it just me or does Craig Muder look like Pete Rose?
Now the hit king should be in the hall of fame.
Yeah, I thought that is who it was, too. LOL … it's the only way Rose will get in to the HOF. His stats shows he should be there. But, he broke the rules causing him to be ineligible. Consequently, he doesn't get in. He knew what he was doing … he lied about it … and it cost him the penalty he knew existed.
