Practical Science on Movement and Pain
Practical Science on Movement and Pain
There is a method which consider the linkages between biomechanics and behavioral's expressions: the Godelieve Denys-Struyf muscle chains method.
Psicological and behavioral aspects, both of them, determine the prevalence of certain myofascial tensions in the body.
According to G.D.S. method, there are six muscle chains families which belong to two possible groups:
=> relational chains: anterolateral and posterolateral, which are linked to introversion and extroversion respectively.
=> personality chains: anteromedian, posteromedian, posteroanterior and anteroposterior chains.
I think GDS method perfectly agree with your statement: "posture and mood: a two way street".
Todd, congratulations, your blog is awesome, I enjoy it a lot!!
Regards from Madrid, Spain
Thanks Esperanza, glad you like the blog. And thanks for the reference, I will check that out.
Interesting. I always assumed this was probably the case. What's the citation, Todd?
Citation? What's that? Sounds like something you might find at saveyourself. I don't have one because I am too lazy right now. There are actually quite a few similar studies with similar findings. I just did a google scholar search for expansive posture and mood and found numerous papers where slumping made it easier to think sad thoughts and vice versa.
Deric's site is an excellent resource and not bad on the citations either.
That is true, I should put him on my blogroll come to think of it.

Interesting article… What about people with back problems? Let's say people with a hunchback? Do you think they are underconfident or sad? Cheers
Thats a great question. I don't really know the answer but I would have to guess that at some point the brain makes an adjustment so that the hunched position feels neutral and corresponds to a neutral mood.
I think (re posture and mood) that it depends on context and to a certain extent diagnosis .
There are certainly structural 'fixed' problems which to an uneducated eye may give the impression of a brow beaten posture but may turn out to be something like AS – an autoimmune disease. The person may certainly at times be under the weather but I see little correlation .
Perhaps in slow distortions of the body the central maps sort of slowly adapt and the somatic markers adjust to the situation. However where the situation is more emotionally driven or mirrored learnt behaviour dominates, perhaps Alfredo's remarks are more subtle and complex . Context, understanding the individual patterns and situation may be more likely to reveal what is driving the behaviour. Thomas Hanna's somatics makes sense here?
Thanks for the thoughts. I think the brain must have at least some ability to stop taking emotional instructions from postures that have become relatively fixed by injury or other factors unrelated to emotional expression or social signalling. And there could be all sorts of complex back and forth interaction, e.g. depression leads to slouching which over time becomes a structural and permanent position built into the bones by Wolff's law, which will persist regardless of mood. All things equal, I think most people would experience some improved mood if they could improve their posture a little.
I know Alfredo well enough to know that all his statements are subtle and complex.

Interesting relationships. My son was dyspraxic, and particularly had difficulty with gaze and moving his facial muscles. He was also often depressed. After dyspraxia treatment, I did a bit of work with him using mirrors, and he had eye treatment to improve his gaze. He became a lot less depressed and a lot more sociable.
I was also an O.T. and we used to work with patients with facial palsy using mirrors.

the colour out of space, not only my favorite lovecraft story but my all time favorite horror story. for years the fall of the house of usher held that spot, then i started reading lovecraft and once i read the colour out of space i had a new favorite. the atmopshere is excellent. i think i read somewhere that it was also one of lovecrafts favorites of what he wrote.
Posted 02 December 2008 - 05:47 AM
While I always loved Lovecraft Mythos in concept and in it's importance in horror influence, I had a hard time reading his stuff as it was always so dry. I always thought Mountains of Madness was the best of the 5-6 stories I read previously. But I picked up the complete anthology a week ago and decided to read it cover to cover and really give it all a shot and emerse myself in his writing. I'm only about 1/5 of the way through but I have a completely new respect for his work, esp as this anthology seems to be fairly chronological and it's been fun to see him grow through his career. I just finished Herbert West - Reanimator and it was my favorite so far. Very humorous and well written. Shows a side of him that you didn't see in stories written before that point. I still have a huge chunk of this book to get through, and I'm excited as I'll be re-reading some with a completely new light, and I'll update as I go!
Posted 02 December 2008 - 08:00 AM
it took me three time through call of cthulhu to actually like the story. the first two times i was like i see that its neat and all but i dont get why this is the story he's known for. but the nameless city i just thought was fantastic the first time i read it.
some of his stuff is hard to digest but i think nearly all his stuff is worth the time.
Posted 02 December 2008 - 09:44 AM
I find that I like his shorter stuff a lot more than the longer stories: Hypnos, the Music of Erich Zann, The Outsider (although it took me about five times reading it through before I really started to appreciate it).
That being said, my favorite story is probably The Thing on the Doorstep. The first sentence just blew my mind (pardon the pun), and the end did too. I was really in to it the entire way through, which is something I can't always say for a Lovecraft story.

'The Shadow Over Innsmouth'
if I had to choose just one.
Posted 02 December 2008 - 03:41 PM
Just a warning for those who plan on buying the new Anthology from B&N, the editor puts a quip of info about each of the story's background and inspirations that sometimes ruins the "surprise" endings in some. I loved the Outsider as well, but when they tell you the "obvious inspiration" for the tale it took away all of the dramatic build up.

i really liked the escape part, that had some serious suspense. cause with lovecraft you never know if the character is gonna get killed or not. the whole story is good but that part is easily for me the perfect climax for the story.
Posted 04 December 2008 - 11:23 AM
It's hard to choose just one, but I like The Whisperer in Darkness a lot. Mi-Go FTW!

I have to agree with PearlJamaholic. The Colour Out of Space is my favorite too. Has anyone read the unofficial sequel book The Colour Out of Time (done in 1985)?
My next two favorites are The Whisperer in the Darkness and The Shadow Out of Time.

The Michael Shea one, yep - since I was a fan of his, and of HPL, I chased that down as fast as I could!
I don't think it's as effective as Colour Out of Time, too many sections read almost like screenplays rather than a novel, I kept getting the impression he was seeing it as a potential movie. Not a bad story though, some interesting sections in there, and way better than many of the awful 'Lovecraftian-inspired' stories around.
Posted 24 December 2008 - 12:05 AM
The Rats In The Walls for me, with The Case Of Charles Dexter Ward a close second.
I am hoping for a good movie based on The Case one day, the story is perfect to be adapted to film.
Posted 24 December 2008 - 01:40 AM
The Shunned House, or The Statement of Randolph Carter. Both stories gave me the creeps when I was a kid.

I'm another for "The Rats in the Walls".
Posted 04 January 2009 - 11:43 AM
For some reason that I can't quite fathom, The Rats in the Walls has always been my favourite story of his.

After news broke that Kanye West was stopping by "Kris" to talk to his pseudo-mother-in-law, rumors began circulating that he was bringing photos of baby Nori with him.
Now, according to Radar Online, he and girlfriend Kim Kardashian have allegedly declined a $4 million offer from an Australian news outlet to print the pictures in favor of helping out momager Kris Jenner.
Radar reports Kim and Kanye decided to debut their baby on Kris's daytime talk show in an effort to spike ratings and assure a full pickup for a premiere in fall 2014.
"They were planning on giving it all away to [Kanye's] charity anyway," one insider said. "It's not like [North] needs to worry about [her] trust fund. Kanye's already set aside a serious chunk of change."
In turn, it seems that Kris is loosening the reins on Kim, as she was reportedly not involved in the negotiations for the photos to begin with.
Another source says that mama Jenner has learned to stop taking things "so seriously with them – that Kim is in love – and she's kinda lost the control, and has to be OK with that, or else lose Kim as a daughter."
The final episode of Kris's trial-run airs this Friday in select cities.

Citigroup: Dog Days of August Losers
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- Citigroup (C) was the loser among the largest U.S. banks on Monday, with shares declining 1% to close at $50.90.
The broad indices ended mixed after a session of light trading volume, as investors looked ahead to economic announcements, including July retail sales on Tuesday, the Producer Price Index on Wednesday, Consumer Price Index on Thursday and housing starts on Friday. Investors are also looking to upcoming speeches from Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta president Dennis Lockhart and Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta president James Bullard for additional clues on an expected tapering of monthly bond purchases by the central bank.
As part of the monetary stimulus policy known has "QE3," the Federal Reserve has been expanding its balance sheet with a net $85 billion per month in purchases of long-term bonds since last September.
The KBW Bank Index (I:BKX) made up some earlier losses end with a slight decline to close at 65.16, with 14 of the 24 index components ending with declines. The index has risen 27% this year, following a 30% gain during 2012. The S&P 500 (SPX.X) is up 18% year-to-date, after rising 13% last year.According to BMO Capital Markets chief investment strategist Brian Belski, "all of the good news is more than fully reflected in current stocks prices." In a note on Friday, Belski added "Frankly, most investors want to validate higher prices tomorrow because they were higher today. When it comes to fundamentals, further multiple expansion and margin improvement are well saturated views." "
CitigroupShares of Citigroup have returned 29% this year, following a 51% return during 2012. The shares trade just below their reported June 30 tangible book value of $53.10, and for 9.1 times the consensus 2014 EPS estimate of $5.57, among analysts polled by Thomson Reuters. The consensus 2013 EPS estimate is $4.94.

|I was so excited to get these, But when I tasted them they were fishy. This was the kind of Nori I was warned about. Did you grind up some fish in it? But when you wrap some rice in it, and dip it in soy sauce. Yum!

|This is Korean-style roasted seaweed, so expect this to be thinner than Japanese nori. It's really good, though. I usually bring this for lunch. :)

Woke up Sunday July 31 morning to find out that the spa closed without any notice, they did not notify the staff or the clients and now we are all jobless. How can people do that!!!?? It's horrible!! I have no idea what i'm gonna do now. I'm kind of getting sick of being in the spa industry there's so much bullshit that comes with it. I have worked at soo many spa and have been screwed over by all of them!! I'm soo sick of it!!! So ya I have no idea what im gonna do now….
On the positive side, summer has finally arrived, and i'm not as depressed anymore about the spa closing cuz ive been able to enjoy the fabulous weather!!! My birthday is September 1 so I'll probably wait till after labor day long weekend to look for something else, enjoy the summer abit.

"Our aim as a band is to make truly amazing music. We are bringing elements of Funk, Jazz, Neo-Soul, Hip Hop and many others to craft an inimitable style that we hope will one day help redefine groove-based music for a new generation."
The Digs is a group of talented young musicians who are quickly becoming known as one of Toronto's most exciting up and coming bands. They have played collectively at countless festivals and venues across the country, including The Toronto Jazz Fest, Luminato, Ottawa Bluesfest and Montreal Jazz Fest as well as sharing the stage with artists such as: Ryan Dan, Nikki Yanofsky, Alejandra Ribera, Kae Sun, Saida Baba Talibah and many more; each member brings a wealth of experience and is a distinct attribute to the band. Members of the group have also worked on popular projects such as Canadian Idol, CBC's Stuart McLean and the Vinyl Café and with producers Eddie Kramer & Darryl Neudorf.
Some of the standout moments for The Digs have been playing with Sarah Harmer, and sharing the stage with Lynrd Skynrd among others. Whether it's their ongoing New Years Eve residency at Wakefield, Quebec's Black Sheep Inn, or their weekly funk party at Toronto's Drake Hotel, The Digs continue to draw packed houses of excited newcomers and dedicated fans.
What separates The Digs from many other groups is the obvious energy flowing between the members of the band; this comes from the experience of getting to make music they love with the people they are closest to.
"You don't often get to "work" with your closest friends doing something you love. This band is exactly that. We're friends and dedicated musicians, the two together come across in our music leaving the listener with the sense that we were born for this and leaving us with a renewed sense of direction and purpose each time we play together."
The Digs EP "HOMEGROWN" is NOW AVAILABLE ON iTUNES!

Manchester teen, Derry accident victim, mourned
Derry teenager Shayna Nichols ran into her friend, Sophia Christen, at the local carnival Friday night and shared her $5 cotton candy with Christen and another girl.
Shayna said she stayed at the carnival while the other two went with a third girl to cross Route 28 to wash their hands at a nearby Burger King. Two vehicles struck Christen, 15, and one of the other girls crossing the road about five minutes after leaving Nichols, resulting in fatal injuries to Christen, according to police.
"I thought that it was my fault because it was my food that they were eating, but I realized that it's really nobody's fault," said Nichols, who attended Smyth Road School in Manchester with Christen.
"I thought, about like what if I didn't see her, this wouldn't have happened," Nichols said at a makeshift memorial in front of the Burger King. "But I guess it just happened for a reason."
Derry police said Sunday that no decision had been made on whether to charge the two drivers involved in the accident. The other girl struck, Lauren Gendreau, 13, of Derry, was released from the hospital Saturday.
Sgt. Shawn O'Donaghue said Sunday the girls were coming from the carnival and crossing the street to go to a bathroom, but he didn't have any further details on the investigation.
At the makeshift memorial, friends and strangers left flowers and stuffed animals, sometimes including handwritten messages.
Nichols and her mother, Amber, brought a red flower windmill and several small balloons, one with the message, "I miss you babe" with a heart drawn and signed "Shayna."
Mrs. Nichols said she was surprised she didn't see any police details helping people cross the road when she dropped off her daughter about an hour before the accident.
"I was watching a group of kids cross the street and I was, 'Oh my gosh. This is a really busy street and especially in an event like this that's on the weekend it's going to bring out a lot of people,'" she said.
"That was my first thought and afterwards, I was like 'Oh my God, that could have been my kid,' because she had the opportunity to go with her to wash her hands, so it really touched home for me and then my second thought is why wasn't there a police detail?"
Derry police Sgt. Kevin Jackson said Sunday there were two police officers on a detail at the carnival Friday night.
Mrs. Nichols said she was trying to draw something more pleasant out of a tragic evening.
"She (Christen) had some real good last moments," she said. "I mean she was having a blast is what it sounded like: riding the rides, hanging out with all her friends and eating cotton candy."
Nichols added, "I'm trying to think positively of it. It's a tragic situation, but if I was going to go out, I would have wanted to go out having a blast right beforehand and that's what she was doing and that's how I want to remember it and I'm sure that's how Shayna wants to remember it."
Rebecca Wencek took a break from working at the carnival Sunday to leave a pink and yellow skunk to honor Christen, her fellow Central High schoolmate.
"She always made us laugh," the sophomore said.
Wencek, who is four months pregnant, plans to name her baby Sophia after her friend.
Others who didn't know Christen came as well. That included Celinet Morton of East Derry.
"We're just here to pay our respects. Poor baby," she said. "I'm sure she was a beautiful girl just starting to live her life."

Title: Pretty candle for my 2 year old girl
Date: Apr 26, 2012
This candle was nothing special, but still cute. Wish there had been more variety of colors. And candle could have been priced at $1 instead of $2 something. Overall, it's nice.

Wedding: 6/14/2014
Jason Hudson photographed our wedding and reception. The price was excellent, and the pictures were more beautiful than I could've imagined. Would highly recommend Hudson Photography!
Wedding: 7/6/2013
My wedding photos taken by Jason Hudson turned out gorgeous! He was timely, professional, and unintrusive. I would have liked him to have been more assertive during "must have" family photos so that I didn't seem like Bridezilla but other than that, no complaints whatsoever. Extremely easy to communicate with via email and extremely reasonable prices considering the amount of experience and reputation of Hudson Photography.
Wedding: 5/4/2013
Jason takes amazing photos! There were some moments that he missed that I wish he captured, but the photos we do have are stunning. We're still waiting on our final photos (our wedding as a month ago) and haven't gotten them yet. The Hudson's get super busy this time of year, so be prepared to wait a bit for your photos.
Wedding: 6/10/2011
Jason Hudson photographed our wedding, engagements, and bridals. He did great. He's very laid back, easy to work with, and extremely nice. I was very please with his work.
Wedding: 5/26/2011
We are still waiting on our wedding photos, but I am positive that we will be satisfied! I am so pleased with our engagement photos, and just love all of the work I have seen by the Hudsons. I truly believe they are some of the best photographers in the Northwest Arkansas area. My husband and I always looked at their work even before our engagement, hoping to one day be able to use their services. I am sure our photos will be worth every penny paid!
Wedding: 1/22/2011
I used the Hudson's for my wedding and they are amazing! The pictures are very creative and modern and I have gotten so many compliments and people wanting their information after seeing my pictures. I highly recommend them.

Take Two for December 27, 2012
Russian Adoption Ban: Tell us how the new law will affect you
Mae Ryan/KPCC
Oxana and another boy play before going to bed. Teachers at the orphanage say that Oxana sometimes exhibits sexual behavior due to her history of sexual abuse.
Today, Russian President Vladimir Putin said he plans to sign a law banning all adoptions from his country to the U.S. It's retaliation for an American law that punishes Russian officials for human rights violations.
Last week we spoke about this political battle with Chuck Johnson of the National Council for Adoption. He said it's wrong for children to be caught in the middle of this international tit-for-tat.
At the time, Johnson said he was unsure how the new law would affect the plans of American families now in the midst of adopting a Russian child. If you are currently trying to adopt from Russia, we'd love to hear from you.
You can share your story by heading to our Public Insight Network.

Rats LyricsArtist: Rasputina
Album: Cabin Fever
They had rats as big as ponies there. They asked the Pope
To declare them fish.
We thank the Pope for granting us this wish.
When Friday comes, we'll all call rats fish.
We catch them with a net, kill with the gun.
We'll call it all forgotten when we're done.
They didn't look like rats at all, but like some horrendous horse doll.
Still they had to eat this thing.
In gratitude, the Pope-they kissed his ring.
We'll call it all forgotten when we're done.

|I just don't see any spark. Major disconnect between leadership of both parties funded by the wealthy donor elites. The wealthy donor elites are as old as the leadership. We have had two wave elections and they cling to the same old ideas. Democrats have no new young bloods. Republicans however do. The old guard will soon be gone. My hope is they are elbowed out of power. Look at their pictures. Like Hillary they are ancient.

|Here we go! Another controlled media event. Obama is really going at it, now Cuba? I have mixed thoughts on Cuba. They are a tool for the soviets, and a proxy for the soviets across South America. Castro is about to die, there will be revolution after he does. If America has relations we have a chance to influence that. I would call it a good move if it was led by anyone other than comrade Obama.

|From the CIA. Take the example of Ammar al-Baluchi. In the movie Zero Dark Thirty, the torture of al-Baluchi is depicted as revealing the key piece of intelligence identifying Osama bin Ladens courier, Abu Ahmed al-Kuwaiti. In 2011, the CIA was able to find and kill bin Laden because it had tracked the movements of al-Kuwaiti.
The CIAs rebuttal to the Senate report says al-Baluchi gave up much more specific information on al-Kuwaiti after he went through the agencys harsh interrogations. The Senate report, however, says al-Baluchi gave up al-Kuwaiti first to the Pakistanis.

|Imagine the opportunities $200M would offer if it were used for relocation expenses and home loan guarantees to get people above sea level.
There are six refineries in the New Orleans Metropolitan Area. 200 million probably wouldn't cover the permitting costs for _moving_ one of them to higher ground. And it's very very hard to build new ones.

|OS - you really must read the online serial novel "life as a new hire".
Esp. Chapt 34 page 4
Because the world didn't need any more ominous rumblings, catastrophe and madness collided in Pyongyang, North Korea. North Korea was an energy exporter, with most of its power coming from coal-fired plants and hydro-electric facilities. The problem was you can't run armored vehicles and combat aircraft on electric power. You needed oil.
North Korea's oil came from China - Liaoning province to be precise, and Liaoning was getting hammered around the clock by the Khanate. The oil pipeline had ruptured and it would be months before it was fixed. In that situation, a sane nation would have shopped around for other avenue of imported oil. But we were talking about North Korea here.
Kim Jung-un was looking down the barrels of another famine (trucks and tractors need petrol too) as well as the far more important reduction in the Korean People's Army's readiness. He saw himself possessing the World's 4th largest military and it was in danger of running out of fuel...and Liaoning province was sitting right across the Yalu River...all helpless-like.

|Things are relatively quiet throughout Lugansk and Donetsk. Most of the artillery firing has stopped, but a number of small arms skirmishes have taken place, SOP for both militaries as both sides send out patrols and deep recon.

|Adapted from an email I sent to a friend of mine in response to some CIA Torture News Item:
Law and order on the International Scale isn't handled by courts of
law, although there are courts of law that pretend to. It's effectively
a state of anarchy, and we're in Prisoner's Dilemma territory.
By our conduct of the war we have allowed basically all these proxies,
_and_ the states that sponsor them, effectively, all the rights due a
traditional Westphalian nation-state and none of the responsibilities
thereof; they can effectively take the civilian populations of the
areas in which the conflict happens hostage, causing deaths on a
massive scale, and blaming them on the US when they use said civilian
population as a shield. And all we've done is force-feed some captives
and some waterboarding. Oh, and some drone attacks that amount to
throwing vast amounts of money away on strategically insignificant
plinking of some mooks in the NWFP, with intelligence provided by one
of the enemy states. Who we pay exorbiant transit fees to in order to
supply the troops fighting their proxies in Afghanistan. We pay them
more than enough to support their half of the war. And we're bankrupt.
I mean, can you imagine what the North (now the Only) Vietnamese Bộ
Công An would have done in this situation?
Within six months of his capture they'd have had Khalid Sheikh Mohammed
on national TV, having gone from fat to very Very thin, with at least
two casts covering compound fractures, to not only confess to the 9/11
attacks, but that he, OBL, Zawahiri, Mullah Omar, and President
Musharaff were all agents of a rogue joint Mossad/KGB conspiracy to
get the Arab/Moslem world embroiled in a war with the United States and
India and essentially commit suicide by nuclear-armed cop. Oh, and to
say that he hadn't been tortured, that all the burn marks are from an
accident he had with the coffee machine we let him have in his cell.
Oh, and finally that he was going to convert to Shinto. And maybe get Gender Reassignment Surgery.
(Thank Almighty God the Nazis never got the chance to use Television on us.)

The Nazca desecration reads like the authorities were stunned; it is my understanding in that area of the world such an event would not have gone unnoticed by the government; Machu Pichu being a very staged event anymore.
And to top it, it was such a flimsy sham show, destroying a piece of human achievement for a cheap billboard plastic joke shuttled in by modern air travel and brown box delivery, gooodam fraggles. At least own it, using colored chalk dust and something other than comic sans font. A pillar of unachievement. Anyone braggadocio to this event needs cauliflower ear.

But in our daily dealing
With stone and steel, we find
The Gods have no such feeling
Of justice toward mankind.
To no set gauge they make us-
For no laid course prepare-
And presently o'ertake us
With loads we cannot bear:
Too merciless to bear.
The prudent text-books give it
In tables at the end
'The stress that shears a rivet
Or makes a tie-bar bend-
'What traffic wrecks macadam-
What concrete should endure-
but we, poor Sons of Adam
Have no such literature,
To warn us or make sure!

Christian Safaris in Uganda – A Spiritual Discovery
In the Heart of Africa – its Pearl Uganda – rediscover – be renewed in Spirit on a Safari in the African Wild
African Safari in Uganda with a Spiritual Focus
A quote attributed to Martin Luther (1483-1546) states " God writes the Gospel, not in the Bible alone, but also on trees, and in the flowers and clouds and stars." Safari –is a Swahili word meaning journey – there is not only the outer Safari –Journey-but the inner Safari – Journey – where as you drink in your surroundings in the Pearl of Africa – there is an inner renewal of the spirit – there is a rediscovery of the hand of God in your African surrounding and in your life.
Mother Teresa wrote "We need to find God, and he cannot be found in noise and restlessness. God is the friend of silence. See how nature – trees, flowers, grass- grow in silence; see the stars, the moon and the sun, how they move in silence… We need silence to be able to touch souls."
In the heart of Africa on a Christian Safari – rediscover the heart of God within – allow God's creation to touch your heart as your eyes look upon the endless Savannah – behold the majestic Rwenzori Mountains of the Moon or the Virunga Volcanoes, view and experience the historic River Nile flowing through Uganda, take a boat ride on the vast sea of Lake Victoria and discover its islands, boat across enchanting Lake Bunyonyi, visit the Mountain Gorillas in the ancient Bwindi Impenetrable Forest, experience an African sunrise of sunset in the Bush, spend a night in a Tree House in the African Jungle of Kibale Forest – reach the summit of the ancient volcano Mount Sabinyo – all places of discovery of the handiwork of the creator and places of inner renewal where the only sounds you might hear are the sounds of the African Night as you look toward the full moon and the endless African Sky filled with countless of Stars.
A Private Christian Safari adds the spiritual dimension – spiritual focus to your Safari in the Pearl of Africa – Uganda. An enriching of your inner an outer Journey –Safari-a journey that is arranged in a way that is sensitive to your spiritual preferences, inputs and wishes – all with the focus of rediscovery, renewal, inner and outer refreshment on your safari of a lifetime in Africa – in Uganda.
Christian Safaris – Journeys- are not something new – for years people have trekked to places such as Lourdes, Jerusalem – Israel – Jordan. Wonderful – yet we believe that there is something most spiritual about an African Safari in Uganda. The gospel comes alive in the heart of Africa as you behold nature, creation with al of its wonders and unimaginable beauty – as you experience unspoiled Africa – there is a deep realization that we are stewards of all that God has created and you discover God's creation – experience him as you are on safari – journey in Uganda.
Our Personal and Private Christian Safaris come with a Christian Guide who is sensitive not only to your physical needs, your choices as to what to see and do and in what way, but a Christian Guide who understands your spiritual needs, wishes, desires. Leading you and or group in a morning devotional time at sunrise, evening sunset time of reflection, prayer and meditation, allowing you time for journaling and be part of the refreshing part of your Safari in Uganda where once again you learn the art of being rather than simply doing producing the dust of much activity – doing. Depending on your Christian Beliefs Communion or Mass can be administered in the wilds of Africa in Uganda.
Our Christian Staff will do their all to make your individually designed safari – your journey into the heart of Africa a place where you can enjoy the creation of God in comfort and at the same time in the style of a traditional safari with the added spiritual dimension. Visits to Ugandan Churches can be part of that safari of heart in Uganda – African churches are growing – faster than in any other region in the world and Christianity has become a rich part of Ugandan culture. Such visits can include to historical sites such as Namugongo Martyr's Shrine where many young men were executed for their faith for refusing to deny Christ and resist the advances of a King (Kabaka) – a most moving experience.
Allow God to use your African surroundings with its sights and sounds to bring nourishment to your soul. If you have friends along that would not set foot into a Church, this time on a spiritual Safari in Uganda will allow God to speak to them through he magnificent Creation that is all around – from the pride of lions up in the trees of Ishasha, the thousands of birds on Kazinga Channel, the power of Murchison Falls with its almost eternal like rainbow, the rapids of the River Nile, the list is unending.
Because your safari is designed just for you and the group of your friends or family you are with – the content of the safari including the spiritual dimensions of that safari from communion in the Bush or daily devotions in the settings you desire from the River Nile to the top of an extinct volcano – or on a savannah plain at sunset.
You will certainly see and experience the creation of God in Uganda – the gospel made alive through his creation in the Pearl of Africa and you experiencing it all on your Christian Safari in Uganda – that inner and outer journey into the heart of Africa…from the heart of Africa – from its Pearl – Uganda…jon
"If I have ever seen magic, it has been in Africa." John Hemingway, African Journeys

Great Wee Scott. I genuinely believe this hype is justified.
SMACC will be the best conference EVER.
Hope to see as many people of possible make the trip over from the USA – we"ll make sure it's worth it… See you at SMACC!
Can't wait to see how Americans and Brits perform in SimWars when they are upside-down
Not to nitpick or anything, but I've got an abstract that is accepted and that will go thru the video presentation route, since I can't make it to Sidney, and my understanding was that registration was mandatory. That's what the acceptance email says and I didn't see anything on the registration section about free registration for presenters that won't physically be there.
Again, I don't mind contributing to the cost of such an undertaking, but what you say in the wee isn't exactly right.
I believe one of the conference organizers wrote back personally, but the clarification is Digital Posters are free; video presentations require registration. So anyone who submitted a poster, but can't attend should submit as a digital poster. I am happy to host any of the videos made or that any will make here on EMCrit.
Yes, thanks for making things clearer.

ABINGDON, Va. (AP) -- A former president of the Saltville Rescue Squad will spend four years in prison for defrauding Medicare and a private insurer.
Sixty-one- year-old Eddie Wayne Louthian also must pay $907,000 in restitution.
The Bristol Herald Courier (http://bit.ly/ZzIvWt ) reports that Louthian was sentenced Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Abingdon.
A federal jury convicted Louthian on health care fraud and perjury charges in September 2012. The jury acquitted the rescue squad of similar charges, and acquitted Louthian of money laundering charges.
Prosecutors say Louthian fraudulently billed Medicare and Anthem Blue Cross Blue Shield for transporting patients who didn't qualify for the service.

NIH rejects comments opposing funding of embryonic stem-cell research
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Although 30,000 of the approximately 49,000 comments on the National Institutes of Health's draft guidelines on human embryonic stem-cell research opposed any federal funding of such research, those responses were "deemed not responsive to the question put forth," according to the acting director of NIH. "We did not ask them whether to fund such funding, but how it should be funded," said Dr. Raynard S. Kington in a telephone briefing with the media July 6. But Richard M. Doerflinger, associate director of the U.S. bishops' Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities, said it was "disingenuous (for Kington) to say that comments criticizing the guidelines overall were to be ignored." The 30,000 individuals or organizations that made comments in opposition to federal funding of embryonic stem-cell research were saying, "You're not responding to what the American people want. Start over," Doerflinger added. The U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops and its affiliated organization, the National Committee for a Human Life Amendment, directed 9,436 comments to NIH about the draft guidelines before the May 26 close of the public comment period, according to Deirdre A. McQuade, assistant director for policy and communications in the pro-life secretariat. NIH's final guidelines, which take effect July 7, are not significantly different from the draft guidelines published April 23 and open for public comment until May 26.

Creighton to open first Catholic medical school west of Rockies
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Creighton University in Omaha, Neb., is opening a second medical school campus some 1,300 miles away in Phoenix, establishing the first Catholic medical school west of the Rocky Mountains. The new medical school campus is being established to allow Creighton to recruit more students, expand its educational opportunities and help resolve a nationwide physician shortage, said Jesuit Father John P. Schlegel, Creighton University's president. The Phoenix campus will be formally known as Creighton University School of Medicine at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center, a member of Catholic Healthcare West, said Deborah Daley, a spokeswoman for the Jesuit-run university. Since 2005 Creighton and St. Joseph's have had an agreement that sends Creighton medical students to Phoenix for one-month rotations, she said. Founded in 1895 by the Sisters of Mercy, St. Joseph's was the first hospital in the Phoenix area. Under the new affiliation, Creighton will establish a fully operational campus at St. Joseph's Hospital and Medical Center that will offer two years of clinical training, Daley told

Americans believe in lifelong marriage, but don't live it, speaker says
ST. PAUL, Minn. (CNS) -- Although the majority of Americans want to get married and believe marriage should last a lifetime, the American dream often doesn't match the reality, social scientist Barbara Dafoe Whitehead told an audience of family life ministers in St. Paul. "You might say that Americans are enchanted with the idea of marriage and the aspiration to marriage, but disenchanted with being married, particularly to one person for a lifetime," she said. And Catholics are showing tendencies more like the general population than in previous generations, she said in a June 25 keynote address at the annual conference of the National Association of Catholic Family Life Ministers. Titled "Becoming a Marriage-Building Church: Implementing the U.S. Bishops' Pastoral Initiative on Marriage," the conference offered a range of workshops and featured national speakers on marriage-related issues. It was held June 25-28 at the University of St. Thomas. The U.S. bishops have named marriage a top priority and in 2004 launched the multiyear National Pastoral Initiative for Marriage. They also plan to release a pastoral letter on marriage.

Poll said to reinforce need to better market Catholic college mission
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Though a national survey released in June found that non-Catholic students with no prior Catholic school experience were the least likely to be interested in attending a Catholic college or university, U.S. Catholic college leaders said they have no trouble attracting non-Catholics. Those leaders, interviewed by
Catholic News Service
, also said the poll reinforces that they must communicate their schools' unique mission, identity and strengths effectively, clearly and with conviction. The survey concerning the perceptions of Catholic colleges and universities also suggested that potential applicants who were not interested in attending a Catholic institution of higher education believed that non-Catholic schools had stronger academic programs. "This study usefully demonstrates why Catholic institutions need to take control of their own story if they wish to attract larger numbers of non-Catholic students," said Peter Stokes, chief research officer at Boston-based Eduventures, Inc., which conducted the poll of more than 4,300 prospective college students late in 2008. "Many of the misperceptions of Catholic institutions result from a lack of awareness among prospective students about the real experiences of a Catholic education.

Diocese hails decision to end state probe of church lobbying efforts
BRIDGEPORT, Conn. (CNS) -- The Diocese of Bridgeport praised the July 1 decision by state ethics officials to stop investigating whether the diocese violated state lobbying laws with its efforts to rally Catholics against legislation that would have given laypeople financial control of their parishes. "This is welcome news, not only for the diocese but for all citizens who cherish the fundamental rights guaranteed by the First Amendment," said Joseph McAleer, diocesan spokesman, in a July 1 statement. The diocese also has since withdrawn a lawsuit seeking a court order to stop the investigation. The decision by the Office of State Ethics came a day after Connecticut Attorney General Richard Blumenthal had urged the action. Bishop William E. Lori of Bridgeport had called the attorney general's opinion "a truly significant announcement that stands not just with our state's Catholics but with all citizens of the state whose fundamental civil liberties were placed in jeopardy" by application of the lobbying laws in this case.

Vatican used nighttime mission to gather relics from St. Paul's tomb
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Vatican technicians entered the Basilica of St. Paul Outside the Walls in the dead of night, drilled a small hole in the tomb under the main altar and extracted fragments of what was inside. The results were a closely held secret for more than two years until Pope Benedict XVI announced June 28 that carbon-14 tests demonstrate that bone fragments from the tomb could be the remains of the Apostle Paul. Cardinal Andrea Cordero Lanza di Montezemolo, who served as archpriest of the basilica, told a press conference July 3 that the tests "evidently agree with the tradition that the tomb is of St. Paul." But Ulderico Santamaria, director of the diagnostic laboratory for conservation and restoration at the Vatican Museums, was a bit more cautious, saying the bones could be those of the saint "because the analyses do not contradict it. ... but as a person of science, I stop at the objective data, which only give indications."

Pope urges G-8 leaders to listen to poor, continue development aid
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI asked leaders of the world's wealthiest countries to "listen to the voice of Africa" and poor countries during their summit in Italy. The global economic crisis threatens not only to derail efforts to end extreme poverty in the world, but also could plunge other countries into ruin as well, the pope said in a July 4 letter to Italian Prime Minister Silvio Berlusconi, host of the Group of Eight summit. The only way to find solutions that will match the global dimensions of the crisis and have long-term positive effects for all peoples is to "listen to the voice of Africa and the countries least-developed economically," the pope said in his letter. The G-8 summit July 8-10 in L'Aquila, Italy, was to bring together the heads of governments of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, Russia, the United Kingdom and the United States.

Pope urges world to continue aid for Haiti after disasters
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI urged the international community to continue to help Haiti recover from recent natural disasters by offering concrete aid and support. Hurricanes swept through Haiti last year, killing hundreds of people, devastating agricultural production, crippling the nation's infrastructure and displacing about 9 percent of the population. The pope said he hoped the solidarity that has been shown by the international community would continue. "It is necessary that, in this particularly delicate period in the life of the nation, the international community offers concrete gestures of support to people in need," he said in a July 6 audience with Haiti's new ambassador to the Vatican, Carl-Henry Guiteau, who presented his credentials. Haiti's vulnerability to natural disasters has led to more awareness about the need to safeguard creation, the pope added.

Pope to visit Infant of Prague, honor St. Wenceslas during Czech trip
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- On his first trip to the Czech Republic, Pope Benedict XVI will visit the Infant of Prague and celebrate the feast of St. Wenceslas in the town where the 10th-century prince was murdered. The Sept. 26-28 trip will take the pope to the Czech capital, Prague, where he will meet President Vaclav Klaus and other government leaders, celebrate vespers with religious and lay groups, and hold separate meetings with the country's bishops, ecumenical representatives and scholars. He will celebrate Masses in Brno, the republic's second-largest city, and in Stara Boleslav, where St. Wenceslas was killed in 935 by his brother. During the saint's feast day events Sept. 28, the pope will have a special message for young people. The pope will celebrate vespers with priests, religious and lay Catholics in Prague's historic cathedral of St. Vitus, which, despite a long legal battle by the church, the country's courts determined belongs to the state.

Art in private chapel is a meditation on following Christ, pope says
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The private Pauline Chapel in the Apostolic Palace is a place for the pope and his closest aides to contemplate their call to follow the crucified and risen Christ and to lead believers in hope, Pope Benedict XVI said. The pope inaugurated the newly restored chapel -- decorated with Michelangelo's murals of the conversion of St. Paul and the crucifixion of St. Peter -- during an evening prayer service July 4. The prayer service was attended by members of the Patrons of the Arts in the Vatican Museums from the United States, England and Ireland. They donated the $4.6 million needed to restore the private papal chapel. "Solemn celebrations with the people are not celebrated here. This is where the successor of Peter and his collaborators meditate in silence and adore the living Christ, present especially in the most holy sacrament of the Eucharist," the pope said in his homily.

Pope deplores bomb blast near Philippine church, violence in world
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI deplored a bomb blast that killed five and injured dozens near a cathedral in the southern Philippines. He called the July 5 attack "an ignoble gesture" and condemned "the recourse to violence which is never an appropriate way to solve existing problems." At the end of his July 5 Angelus address to pilgrims gathered in St. Peter's Square, the pope condemned the Philippine attack and continued violence in the world. "Human blood continues to flow as a result of violence, injustice and hatred," he said. "When will people learn that life is sacred and belongs to God alone? When will people understand that we are all brothers and sisters?" The Philippine bomb went off at about 8:30 a.m. July 5 inside a vendor stall, sending shrapnel toward the Cathedral of the Immaculate Conception in Cotabato City and injuring at least 43 people, reported the Asian church news agency UCA News.

Council of cardinals blames Vatican budget deficit on economic crisis
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- The global economic crisis, along with some extraordinary maintenance work, had a big impact on the budget of Vatican City State, which usually ends the year with several millions of dollars in surplus. The budget, which includes the Vatican Museums and the care of Vatican buildings, ended 2008 with a deficit of more than $21 million, the Vatican reported July 4. The separate budget of the Holy See, which includes the offices of the Roman Curia, finished 2008 in better shape than a year earlier, but still registered a deficit of more than $1.26 million. The figures were released after the early July meeting of a council of cardinals charged with reviewing the Vatican budgets. According to a press statement from the council, the figures were drawn up using "provisions adopted as an exceptional measure by international accounting organizations" to ensure a realistic evaluation despite the huge fluctuations in currency and stock values caused by the current economic crisis.

US deacon's healing clears way for Cardinal Newman's beatification
VATICAN CITY (CNS) -- Pope Benedict XVI signed the decree recognizing as miraculous the healing of a U.S. deacon, which clears the way for the beatification of British Cardinal John Henry Newman. While the Vatican announced July 3 that the decree had been signed, it did not provide information about when Cardinal Newman would be beatified or where the ceremony would be held. The decree recognized as a miracle the healing in 2001 of Deacon John Sullivan of Marshfield, Mass. , who had a debilitating back injury. Deacon Sullivan had prayed for the intercession of Cardinal Newman, who founded the Oxford movement within the Church of England before becoming a Roman Catholic in 1845. He is the founder of the Oratories of St. Philip Neri. A press statement from the England's Birmingham Oratory, founded by the cardinal, quoted Deacon Sullivan as saying, "Upon hearing of the recent developments in Rome regarding Cardinal Newman's cause for beatification, I was left with an intense sense of gratitude and thanksgiving."

Honduran cardinal urged ousted president not to return
TEGUCIGALPA, Honduras (CNS) -- Disregarding the counsel of the country's top Catholic leader, deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya tried to return home, but was prevented from landing by soldiers who blocked the runway at Tegucigalpa's airport. A day earlier, in a July 4 nationwide address that the government ordered all television and radio stations to broadcast, Cardinal Oscar Rodriguez Maradiaga of Tegucigalpa had urged Zelaya not to return to Honduras. "We think that a return to the country at this time could unleash a bloodbath in the country," Cardinal Rodriguez said. "To this day, no Honduran has died. Please think, because afterward it will be too late." Honduras' new government has charged Zelaya with 18 criminal acts, including treason and failing to implement more than 80 laws approved by Congress since he took office in 2006. Zelaya was ousted in the early hours of June 28 when Honduran soldiers -- acting on orders of the National Congress -- shot up his house and took the pajama-clad president to the airport, where he was flown on a military plane to Costa Rica.

Late actor Karl Malden remembered for famous portrayal of priest
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- Oscar-winning actor Karl Malden, who famously portrayed Father Pete Barry, a mob-combating Catholic priest in 1954's "On the Waterfront," died July 1 in Los Angeles of natural causes. He was 97. A Catholic, Malden portrayed a priest four times on television and in film, including a 2000 appearance on NBC's "The West Wing," the final role of his career. For the part, Malden used the same stole and breviary he had used nearly 50 years earlier to play Father Barry. Malden's portrayal of Father Barry was largely based on the true story of Father John Corridan, a Jesuit priest who fought corruption in New York City longshoremen labor unions during the post-World War II era. Malden's performance earned him an Academy Award nomination for best supporting actor.

Education program in El Salvador began with founder's college trip
WASHINGTON (CNS) -- When Victoria Cavanaugh first went to El Salvador as a junior at Boston College, she had no idea that her semester abroad would turn into project to support young university students. Today, at 23, Cavanaugh helps run Nuestro Ahora, a nonprofit organization she founded in 2007 that provides scholarships, housing and college preparation classes to high school and university students in El Salvador. The program has its roots in a 2005 service-learning program when Cavanaugh arrived in the Central American country and saw how extreme poverty and neighborhood violence force many parents to put their children in orphanages, where three meals a day and safety are usually assured. After graduating from college Cavanaugh moved to El Salvador and built an education program she would call Nuestro Ahora (Our Time). The program supports both university and high school students. "(The program is) about the students doing something meaningful, taking control of their lives, helping those around them now. It's about them taking ownership, not about being victims of a developing country," she explained.

Retreat, Mass in sign language reach out to deaf Catholics
HARRISBURG, Pa. (CNS) -- Father Michael Depcik, an Oblate of St. Francis de Sales, knows full well the challenges of catechizing and tending to the spiritual needs of deaf Catholics. He is one of only six "culturally deaf" priests in the United States. Culturally deaf people are those who are born deaf or who become deaf early in life. They rely primarily on sign language to communicate. In late June Father Depcik visited the Diocese of Harrisburg to lead a prayer day for deaf Catholics and celebrate Mass in American Sign Language at St. Patrick Cathedral in Harrisburg. "Deaf people grow up not really understanding their faith, not really understanding their relationship with God," said Father Depcik said. Father Depcik, 39, who ministers to deaf Catholics in the Archdiocese of Chicago and is a member of the National Catholic Office for the Deaf and the International Catholic Deaf Association. Since being ordained in 2000, Father Depcik was concerned not about the challenges of being a deaf priest, but about the attitudinal barriers that people often place on those who are deaf.

Jewish food, oral traditions, culture, and secret religious customs are showing up today in the folklore, habits and practices of the descendants of early settlers in southern Texas and the surrounding areas of Mexico. In northern Mexico and what today is Texas, the Jews of Nuevo Leon and its capital, Monterrey, Mexico, lived without fear of harassment from the Holy Office of the 1640's and beyond. Many of the leading non-Jewish families today of that area are descended from secret Jewish ancestors, according to scholar, Richard G. Santos.
Why do Mexican Americans in Texas and in the Mexican province of nearby Monterrey eat "Semitic bread" on Passover/Lent? According to scholar Richard G. Santos, Tex-Mex pastries such as pan dulce, pan de semita, trenzas, cuernos, pan de hero, and pan de los protestantes (Protestant's bread) are similar to familiar Jewish pastries eaten by Sephardic Jews today in many other parts of the world.
