3 handle shower faucet replacement - central
I want to change a 3 handle shower/tub setup but I don;t want to have to solder in a whole new set up. I just want to change the handle and spout.
The one on there is labled "central" which is something I've never heard of. I went to Lowes and they have kits but they are specific to each faucet company such as Price-fister or Moen.
Can anyone shed any light on whether I could use a general kit or if "central" is a company no longer around.
Are these handle kits that specific ?
Any advice would be appreciated.
Sounds vaguely familiar and something that came from a real local plumbing supply. You are more likely to find replacement parts there (even if you can't seem to find them online).
You could try this: take off one of the handles, then take it to the store and try matching up the depth and size of the connection. It might be fairly standard (whereas changing stems is definitely not the case).
Same for the spout. Figure out how to remove it (It will either unscrew, or there will be a hole and a set screw underneath near the wall, and then it slips off.)
Take a look, and maybe even give them a call:

Ill juveniles being set free
POSTED: Monday, December 21, 2009 - 7:06pm
UPDATED: Thursday, April 8, 2010 - 4:05am
TYLER-The Associated Press has recently released some startling news. They are claiming they've discovered a loophole that is letting mentally ill Texas juveniles go free.
A 16-year-old John Tyler High School student and former juvenile detainee is accused of stabbing his teacher, Todd Henry, to death with a butcher knife at school. Another teen was convicted of killing a roofer during a 30-minutes robbery spree. The Texas Youth Commission, for whatever reason, let them go.
According to documents obtained by the Associated Press, the Texas Youth Commission has released more than 200 offenders because of mental health issues in the last five years. Reports show more than 20 percent went on the commit new crimes, some violent.
In most states, youthful offenders aren't released because of mental illness unless they are committed to hospitals.
But thanks to a 1997 law meant to keep mentally ill juveniles from being held in detention centers where they can't get proper treatment, Texas youths serving indefinite sentences who have completed their minimum required time in custody are released to parents or guardians.
"When we are releasing a youth on a 15-50 or on a mental health discharge we try to make sure there is an adequate support system in place," Jim Hurley with the Texas Youth Commission said.
But do they really make sure these teens get the treatment they need after being released?
"The state of course is interested in saving dollars and if they see an opportunity to get a kid out of their system, they certainly will," licensed counselor with ETMC, David Wheeler, said.
This came to a head in Tyler back in September when a TYC felon allegedly stabbed a Tyler teacher to death. TYC discharged the boy accused of killing Todd Henry just two months before because the boy has been diagnosed with multiple mental health issues, including schizophrenia.
The commission says it makes sure those discharged because of mental illness receive referrals to their local mental health centers. But it's not mandatory.
"What will happen probably is the way the state of Texas usually does things, there will have to be a lawsuit," Wheeler said.
Cherie Townsend, the commission's executive director, declined to comment on specific cases. But she did say it may be time to limit some of the discharges for public safety reasons.

Prostate Cancer Health Center
What Causes Prostate Cancer?
In this article
Prostate cancer affects mainly older men. Four out of five cases are diagnosed in men over 65, but less than 1% in men under 50. Though uncommon, prostate cancer can be seen in men even in their 30's and 40's. Men with a family history of prostate cancer are more likely to develop prostate cancer than the general population.
On a case-by-case basis, doctors cannot say with certainty what causes prostate cancer, but experts generally agree that diet contributes to the risk. Men who consume large amounts of fat -- particularly from red meat and other sources of animal fat -- are more likely to develop advanced prostate cancer. The disease is much more common in countries where meat and dairy products are dietary staples than in countries where the basic diet consists of rice, soybean products, and vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, cole slaw, or sauerkraut.

Prostate Cancer Questions to Ask Your Doctor -- and Yourself
Being diagnosed with prostate cancer can be frightening. The more you learn, however, the less anxious you may feel. Your most important task after being diagnosed is to get as much information as you can about your condition. Then you and your doctor can talk over the best course of action. Because there is an array of treatment options, making the decision can be complicated. Here are the key questions to ask: How much time do I have to make a decision? Thanks to early detection, most prostate...
Read the Prostate Cancer Questions to Ask Your Doctor -- and Yourself article > >
The underlying factor linking diet and prostate cancer is probably hormonal. Fats stimulate increased production of testosterone and other hormones, and testosterone acts to speed the growth of prostate cancer. High testosterone levels may stimulate dormant prostate cancer cells into activity. Some findings msuggest that high testosterone levels also influence the initial onset of prostate cancer. Eating meat may be risky for other reasons, such as meat cooked at high temperatures produces cancer-causing substances that directly affect the prostate. Other risk factors have been noted. Welders, battery manufacturers, rubber workers, and workers frequently exposed to the metal cadmium seem to be abnormally vulnerable to prostate cancer.
The following are associated with an increased risk of advanced prostate cancer: Height, high body mass index, low physical activity, smoking, low tomato sauce consumption, high calcium intake, high linoleic acid intake, African-American race, and a positive family history.
No proven link exists between prostate cancer and an active sex life, vasectomy, masturbation, use of alcohol or tobacco, circumcision, infertility, infection of the prostate, or a common noncancerous condition called benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH). Most, if not all, men will experience an enlarged prostate as they age.

Dubai to segregate the Web
In a bid to crackdown on 'immoral imaginings', the Dubai government has segregated the Internet, barring men and women access to sites officials believe encourage 'flirtatious behavior'. Will it work?
April 1, 2009 8:57 by Jess Kiddink
In an attempt to put the brakes on online flirting, authorities in Dubai have announced plans to introduce what will effectively be a segregated Internet, divided according to gender.
The Dubai Behavioral Monitoring Authority (DBMA), part of the Telecoms Regulatory Authority, said at a press conference in Dubai yesterday that "before the summer," all Internet activity in the emirate will have to take place through a government portal requiring a log-in name and password. Users of the Web will be required to apply in person at selected DBMA locations and post offices for their login credentials, at which point their gender will be noted. "To avoid fraudulence, application for passwords will only be available in person and not online," a spokesman said.
Certain sites will be blocked depending on the gender of the Web surfer. Women will be excluded from viewing motoring sites, sports and gaming sites, political pages of news portals and large sections of video sharing sites such as YouTube. Men will not be allowed access to numerous personal care and women's fashion sites, according to the DBMA, which claims the blocks are designed "to prevent inappropriate aspirations and immoral imaginings."
Contrary to media reports, however, not all sections of the Internet will be split between men and women, explained the spokesman. Certain chat forums deemed socially and ethical sound by the authorities, and limited areas of social networking sites such as Facebook will be available to all users, regardless of gender. DBMA approved matrimonial sites will also be gender indifferent, although they are thought to be closely monitored by the government already. And the password-login system will mean users can more easily be tracked.
The news follows the publication of a code of conduct by the Dubai Executive Council (DEC) as part of the government's campaign to curb inappropriate behavior in public.
To catch surfers abusing stolen or borrowed passwords, or "behaving inappropriately" on shared sections of the Web, software similar to that used by terrorism monitoring units will be used. The algorithms of this software, more often used to check email, instant messaging and even VoIP communications for suspicious usage of words such as "bomb," "security," "Acme" or "Salinger," will be adapted to monitor for "flirtatious behavior."
All Internet users over the age of 11 will be required to register. Full-time students can get their user names and passwords through their schools, the spokesman said. More information on the segregated Web is expected to be announced by the DBMA tomorrow morning.

This was delicious for our dinner tonight. Used extra sauce as other reviews suggested and was glad I did. Used tomato soup for my sauce combined with a little left over parmigiana bottled sauce and was delicious. Also added my usual veggies to mince mixture (finely grated carrot, zucchini,mushroom and shredded baby spinach) to cater to my fussy kids. They gobbled it up! Great alternative to family fav spaghetti Bol when you have the time.
This is a great easy recipe, but I made my own tomato sauce which is easy and the family prefer, it is below, Tablespoon oil in pan, add 1 brown onion chopped and 4 gloves garlic minced, add 3 x chopped tomatoes (cans), simmer for 20 minutes or so, then blend with 100ml cream and 1 teaspoon of sugar. Also I don't use pizza cheese, I use parmesan which gives it a bit of a bite, the kids love it!!!
Easy, tastes great i use lasagna sheets instead of cannelloni sheets. First sheet, then mince, second sheets then mince ricotta cheese on top then pizza cheese. Kids love it
I found this recipe quite bland and if I was to make it again would be adding extra ingredients. Maybe also because I used instant cannelloni tubes instead of fresh pasta which might have been nice?? still bland tasting. I probably wouldn't make this again.
This was absolutely yummy! I adjusted the recipe somewhat. I used veal and pork mince and beef mince, about 500g, added half a tin of tomatoes to the sauce, a bay leaf, some italian herbs (in addition to the basil), and threw in some left over vegies I had in the fridge (capsicum and mushroom). I put the other half of the can of tomatoes on the bottom, then the pasta sauce on top, ricotta on top of that, and mozzarella to top it all off. It sounds a complicated recipe, but it's one of the easiest cannelloni recipes I've ever cooked. It tastes fantastic and everyone thinks you went to a lot of effort!! Definitely try making this, you won't regret it!
I ended up using 500g extra lean mince and about 300g of mince pork. Also added a teaspoon of dry oregano to the mince and a table spoon of tomato paste, and 100g of baby spinach right at the end, so spinach wilts. Took advice of putting sauce on the bottom so I ended up adding a tin of diced tomato straight ontop of the ricotta cheese. I also sprinkled some salt and pepper, and a pinch of sugar on the diced tomato before adding the pizza cheese. Turned out extra JOY!!!
This recipes was a little bit fiddly for me. I have made cannelloni where you stuff the tubes with a raw mince mixture and it bakes in the oven in the sauces. If im going to go to the trouble of precooking the mince in pasta sauce i'll prob just eat it with pasta! I used extra light ricotta for the topping and it tasted fairly ordinary - perhaps you need to use the full fat version so it doesnt taste like it has split during cooking. This recipe might be ok for entertaining as it looks quite impressive, but I dont think i'll make this again.
This was a winner at a lazy Sunday lunch. I would have liked more sauce and I added spinach to the meat mix. I will make again but will add more sauce.
This was delicious! Took advice and placed a thin layer of sauce on base of dish. Also added spinach to the meat mix. Yum!
super easy to make a very delicious, i used extra beef, ricotta and pasta sauce and made layers with instant pasta sheets, will be making again and again :)
I made with Mountain bread to reduce calories and it was fantastic; just had to reduce oven time.
Easy to make with the lasagne sheets & very tasty, but stuck to the bottom of my oiled, non stick baking dish. It needs a layer of sauce spread over the base as well as on top so the bottom of the pasta cooks.

Canada's Insurance and Risk Magazine
This year will likely see "rapid expansion" of telematics and usage based auto insurance programs among North American insurers, notes a new report from industry research firm Strategy Meets Action.
According to SMA's research, 70% of auto insurers are in some stage of executing, developing or planning UBI programs. There are currently 18 insurers that have UBI programs active in at least one state or province.
Read more: FSCO lays out how insurers should take on usage based insurance programsProgressive Insurance is most extensive to date, with UBI programs active in 43 states and six UBI-related patents."2012 was a breakthrough year for UBI as Progressive brought it to the mass market in the U.S.," notes Richard Welch, guest author of the report. "2013 is likely to be characterized by a rapid expansion of the number of companies offering UBI options to their customers."Most insurers who are using telematics for usage based auto insurance are using the method to provide discounts, but nearly 30% also have value added services, notes the firm's second report on the subject, released Tuesday.
Among those companies using UBI programs to calculate discounts, mileage is the most frequently used data element, followed by time of day, braking, and speed, suggests the report, which is based on a survey of 110 North American insurance professionals, conducted in the last quarter of 2012. The research also included more than 25 interviews with industry participants.
Read more: Telematics could change how personal insurance is sold: CookeMany insurers (43%) cite customer retention as a major benefit to such programs, more so than gaining new customers through their UBI programs, the report notes. More accurate rating, reduction in costs and claims control were also among the benefits noted.
Challenges do remain for those looking to implement programs, including IT barriers, costs and patent issues, the report notes."Insurers that gain early experience with marketing, product design, loss history, underwriting, and the servicing of UBI programs will be the most successful," suggests SMA partner Mark Breading. "Data will be king; companies should be prepared to manage and analyze data in large amounts."

Hounds For Heroes
Service dogs help combat veterans cope with PTSD.
For Private First Class Jennifer Allen, the legacy of months in Iraq is post traumatic stress disorder.
She says the only reason she can cope is because of her 19-month-old boxer-lab mix, Linus.
"If I did not have him, I would not be here right now. I would probably be holed up in my room, still probably having anger issues," she said.
Linus was among four dogs graduating Saturday as a Brigadoon Service Animal.
All year, he trained at Joint Base Lewis McChord to be a Jennifer's constant companion.
"He wakes me up from my nightmares... and he keeps me calm when I'm driving," she said.
According to Veteran's Affairs, more than 20 percent of men and women are now coming back from deployment with PTSD. More and more, these dogs aren't just recommended but prescribed as part of medical treatment."
"There is such a huge need of these veterans to get a dog," said Denise Costanten, Founder, Brigadoon Service Dogs.
Constanten says the effect of these friendships shows up clearly on soldier's faces.
"The anxiety fall away, confidence to go out in public again, confidence to live alone," she said.
Because more important than any commands they've learned, these dogs are ever standing watch so soldiers like Jennifer Allen can finally stand down.
"Without him I would probably not be able to have a normal life," she said.
Joint Base Lewis-McChord says it currently has 13 dogs on post certified as service animals for injured military and veterans with PTSD. The wait for a dog is one year.

Brace yourselves, this may come as something of a surprise. I've dropped out of Oxford. Yes, I know. It's something of an about face considering my previous posts but hear me out. I left, not due to egregious academic incompetence, lewd or licentious behaviour beneath hall tables or even to pursue a love interest. It's taken me a while to reflect on this but here I go. I'd welcome your thoughts.
Do university students actually care about climate change? And are they doing anything to stop it? Concerned by apparent contradiction in the behavior of my student colleagues, I took the initiative to address the issue and carried out research to try and understand students' reaction to the statement, "Oh No! Not Climate Change Again!".
You only get a short amount of time to impress people during your experience as an intern. It's important that you make the best impact you can, before you're quickly replaced by a sharper, friendlier, more eager version of yourself. The doors of an office are constantly traffic-jammed with a rotation of students dying to make a good impression.
Not only does Benefits Street propagate the myth of the work-shy, morally reprehensible benefits scrounger, it also neglects the majority of benefits claimants. Contrary to popular belief, most are not on unemployment benefits. In fact, the largest part of the welfare bill is spent on state pensions, with disability benefits and family benefits also coming in costing substantially more than unemployment.
To all of those who are part of the job seeking audience and every graduate who feels worthless, hold on. When we get jobs, we will be so happy we will become fried eggs, not hard boiled. I feel better having written this. I will eventually get a job and then I will be able to humblebrag and moan just like everyone else on Facebook. Until then, I'm avoidng eggs......

Final Score: Chicago 5, Calgary 2
Calgary, AB (Sports Network) - Andrew Ladd registered a goal and two assists to lead the Chicago Blackhawks to a 5-2 win and a season sweep over the Calgary Flames at Saddledome.
Dave Bolland, Colin Fraser and Adam Burish also scored for the Blackhawks, who have won three straight and improved to 4-1-0 on their season-long eight-game road trip that will continue on Saturday in Vancouver. Nikolai Khabibulin made 29 saves and Matt Walker added three assists in the win.
"We've really had a good start after the (All-Star) break and we have to keep it rolling," said Ladd.
Dion Phaneuf and Todd Bertuzzi scored for the Flames, who have dropped three straight on the heels of a three-game win streak. Miikka Kiprusoff allowed four goals on 32 shots in the loss.
"It's pretty embarrassing," said Calgary's Adrian Aucoin about the Flames being swept in all four of their games against Chicago this season. "We don't play well against them at all, from top to bottom."
Less than a minute after the opening faceoff, the Blackhawks grabbed a 1-0 lead on a goal that was reviewed. Martin Havlat, from the right side, sent the puck toward the net and it caromed off the skate of Bolland and into the back of the cage. After a review, it was determined that Bolland did not use an intentionally kicking motion and he was credited with his 11th goal at the 42- second mark.
The Flames knotted the contest at the 6:28 mark of the first on a breakaway goal by Bertuzzi, who had exited the penalty box just 12 seconds before he lit the lamp. Jarome Iginla sent a perfect lead pass that found Bertuzzi's stick at the blue line and he broke in alone before his deke move beat Khabibulin.
However, the visitors responded only 17 seconds later. The puck was loose behind the Calgary net and Bolland fed a backhand pass from along the rear boards into the low slot for Ladd, whose snap shot one-timer from below the left circle found the back of the net for a 2-1 Chicago edge.
"Our line plays well together, and it's a good mix of grit and skill," Ladd said. "We feel very comfortable with each other."
Phaneuf's turnaround wrister from inside the right circle with 5:55 to go before the first intermission tied it up.
Kiprusoff made a pad save on a breakaway attempt by Ladd with 13 minutes remaining in the second, but he was not able to stop a deflected wrister soon after when Chicago took a 3-2 lead. Walker released a wrist shot from the right half-wall that Burish deflected home from in front at the 11:28 mark of the middle stanza.
"That's been a key all year -- we've had different guys stepping up each night," Ladd said.
Fraser's fourth goal of the season -- made possible by a great defensive breakout pass by Walker -- 3:18 into the final frame gave the visitors a two- goal edge before Troy Brouwer's short-handed empty-net goal late in regulation capped the scoring.
Game Notes
Chicago improved to 15-9-3 on the road this season...This marked the first season sweep of Calgary by Chicago since the 1993-94 season. In addition, the Blackhawks have now won five straight in Calgary...The Flames fell to 19-6-3 at home this season...Both teams finished 0-for-5 on the power play.

For more information, see Is anger what makes us click? Emotion and political opinion.
For more information, see Is anger what makes us click? Emotion and political opinion.
In the interest of full disclosure, I want to start by saying I have no strong feelings about Duck Dynasty as a show. Until about three weeks ago, I barely knew what it was. And now that I do, I still don't really have any strong feelings other than that Phil Robertson is quite the bigot and appears to have some ridiculous opinions about a great many things.
I do, however, have strong feelings about the online mob that was created in response to his suspension. As an anger researcher who is particularly interested in the way people express their rage online, I watched with fascination as an angry, online mob gathered their pitchforks and went after A&E, non-Christians, and liberals.
I watched as Twitter erupted with angry tweets from Duck Dynasty fans. I watched people I'm friends with on Facebook, who almost never post anything, post article after article in defense of Phil Robertson.
It quickly became about much more than whether or not the show would air or whether or not his comments were appropriate. In reading through the tweets, it was clear that to his fans his suspension was an attack on hunters, the first amendment, and all Christians everywhere.
These memes flooded Twitter in the days after his suspension:
One could, of course, go through and pick these apart, as they all defy basic common sense. Had liberals really been defending Miley Cyrus? And were liberals the ones who suspended Robertson? When were his constitutional rights violated, when did this become about Islam, and are you really comparing the Robertsons to the apostles?
Some of this can be explained by basic social psychology. When members of any group (in this case, hunters, Christians, conservatives, etc.) feel attacked, they tend to lash out at the perceived attackers. In this case, the perceived attackers were liberals, A&E and the rest of the media, non-hunters, and non-Christians. Robertson's supporters circled the wagons and responded the way groups that feel threatened often do.
But some of this was manufactured and that's the part that concerns me most. In the days after Robertson's comments, the following was said by various Republican leaders across the country:
Former Vice-Presidential Nominee Sarah Palin (December 18th, 2013, via Facebook): "Free speech is an endangered species. Those 'intolerants' hatin and taking on the Duck Dynasty patriarch for voicing his personal opinion are taking on all of us."
Governor Bobby Jindal (December 19th, 2013, via a statement released by his office): "I remember when TV networks believed in the First Amendment. It is a messed up situation when Miley Cyrus gets a laugh, and Phil Robertson gets suspended."
Senator Ted Cruz (December 19th, 2013, via Twitter): "If you believe in free speech or religious liberty, you should be deeply dismayed over treatment of Phil Robertson"
So we have three (and there have been many others) prominent conservatives who are actively working to fuel the fire. That alone isn't a problem. Politicians often try to drum up anger as a way of gaining support (here's why, by the way). What is a problem, though, is that they are lying to their followers as they do it. Robertson's first amendment rights were absolutely not violated in any way and Palin, Jindal, and Cruz must know that (see here for an explanation of how free speech doesn't guarantee you a TV show). I supposed it's possible their understanding of the first amendment is so limited that they actually think this is a violation of Robertson's first amendment rights. But I doubt it. Their position on this is actually inconsistent with the corporate-personhood cause they have been championing these last years (i.e., if corporations have rights, why doesn't A&E have the right to suspend an employee for voicing something that may damage the company image).
What's more likely is that Palin, Jindal, and Cruz knew their supporters would have a knee-jerk reaction to the idea that liberals were attacking the constitution and they deliberately lied to them in order to feed the rage and create a mob.
Such behavior is shameful and dangerous. To that point, on December 20th, A&E had to increase security at their headquarters due to death threats and "suspicious looking packages" in response to the Robertson suspension. It's not fair to suggest a direct link between their comments and these death threats, but it is fair to say that their dishonest comments escalated an already emotionally charged situation. There are consequences to mob creation.
I'm not asking them to keep quiet. They have every right to express their opinions on this and anything else. I'm just asking them to be honest as they do it. I'm asking them to recognize the responsibility that comes with having so many supporters and not to fan the flames of the online mob with their dishonest rhetoric.
By Ryan C. Martin
People like to believe that their political opinions are founded in rational assessment of the facts and that emotions play only a small role, if any, in determining their attitudes. Despite this commonly held belief, a 2012 study conducted by Timothy J. Ryan published in the Journal of Politics revealed that anger can be a tool for politicians to encourage information seeking and therefore influence the formation of opinions. Ryan states that, "Political scientists have drawn from a strong literature in psychology showing that emotions are not just the end result of thinking about politics. Emotions can actually guide thinking about politics. For instance, several studies show that feeling anxiety motivates citizens to vote and think more carefully about political issues".
Ryan's article explored the behavior of Internet users when confronted with anger inducing political advertisements. The participants, while surfing Facebook, were over 2 times more likely to click on a political advertisement designed to evoke anger than an advertisement with a neutral message. It seems that our emotions, particularly anger, can help determine what we are drawn to.
Even the most uninterested citizens are subjected to political advertisements through almost every media avenue. Ryan warns, "Politicians — in their speeches, advertising, and other messages — can evoke emotions in ways that are subtle, but that powerfully influence how we interact with the political world". Political scientists have a great incentive to motivate potential voters to feel anxious or angry, as it is associated with increased political behavior. Specifically they can increase the odds of a person gaining access to heavily biased political material with which they may alter their opinions.
It makes sense that advertisements and political media that create anxiety would encourage a person to engage in more active research on political topics and create more informed opinions. Gaining information on the topic is one key way to ease anxiety. Ryan's research adds to this notion that anger also can play a vital role. Though anger may draw people into a website to look for more political information, it does not guarantee that the quality of the information found will be very good. Partisan political groups can entice susceptible Internet users to look at their political messages by utilizing controversial taglines to draw attention. The Internet can be a powerful tool for spreading political information, but users must be aware of the role their emotions play in what they read.

Last week, thanks to my good friend, Regan Gurung, I was lucky enough to sit down for a two-hour dinner with Dr. Albert Bandura. For those of you who don't know of Dr. Bandura's work, he's arguably the most famous living psychologist (or, at least, amongst the top three) and certainly the most popular. His most famous work, The Bobo Doll Study, changed the way people thought of both learning and aggression, as it flew in the face of the accepted theories of the time, conditioning and catharsis, respectively.
The Bobo Doll Study, first done in 1961, is thought of by most psychologists to be one of the three most famous psychology studies of all time (along with the Milgram Obedience Experiments and the Stanford Prison Experiment). In fact, if you haven't heard of it, it's probably because you never took an intro psych class or because you took an intro psych class a very long time ago and simply forgot (i.e., it's unlikely it wasn't covered). What many people don't realize, though, is that it wasn't just one study. It was a series of studies that led to two books on aggression and paved the way for a massive shift in the way psychologists thought about learning. Consequently, his work matters to me as a psychologist, an anger and aggression researcher, and a teacher.
I don't mind sounding a little bit star-struck by saying that this dinner was one of the highlights of my relatively young career. It wasn't just fun, though. It was meaningful in other ways. Here are five things I learned (or was reminded of) from Dr. Bandura.
1. Basic research matters. In my research methods course, I try and drive home to students the idea that basic research is important. Even though applied research feels more exciting and more important (wouldn't we all rather find the cure to something than do the studies that lead up to finding a cure?), the vast majority of applied research projects find their roots in basic research. Dr. Bandura provided me with more ammo for this discussion by reminding me that his original bobo doll study was not designed with any sort of application in mind. This was a study on learning and aggression, pure and simple. Yes, it was putting behaviorism to the test and, yes, it had clear implications to a host of areas (e.g., media violence, advertising). In fact, Dr. Bandura is now working on several international projects to apply this work. But, none of that changes the fact that it was originally carried out as a test of theory with no other intentions.
2. There's an important place for social activism in academics. Even though his work started as basic research, his current work is clearly intended to bring about social change. He described a book he's writing on moral disengagement where he will tackle a variety of politically controversial topics (e.g., gun violence, climate change). Meanwhile, he's involved in literacy projects on at least three continents. To those who believe that professors should avoid any sort of activism, Dr. Bandura serves as a nice example of how wrong they are. He's doing important work that changes the lives of people across the globe.
3. The support of your institution matters. One thing I was completely unaware of was that there had been many attempts to discredit Dr. Bandura early in his career. The Bob Doll Study, which he completed as an untenured professor at Stanford, was seen as a threat to some fairly powerful groups (television networks, advertising agencies, etc.). At one point, he was asked to testify at a congressional hearing on television violence and, as a result of his work, advertising standards were changed to cut out acts of violence. Not surprisingly, some groups worked to find fault with his research, and he even described turning on the news to find a special on him and the flaws in his research. I asked him if it bothered him and, though he didn't answer that question directly, he did tell a story about being invited to a meeting with a Stanford administrator at the height of all this. The administrator said, "They're saying some pretty bad things about your research [pause]. Don't let the bastards get you down." I can only imagine that for an untenured professor who found himself somewhat unexpectedly in the public eye, that sort of support would go a long way toward giving him the courage to carry on. I also found myself wondering if that sort of thing would happen again today.
4. So does passion. Before we even entered the restaurant, he started telling us about his upcoming book. And it didn't stop there. He talked us through almost every chapter- not just the content, but why he was interested in it and how he arrived at his conclusions. As he talked about his work, there was an excitement in his eyes unlike anything you would expect from someone who has been doing this for 50-plus years. He is genuinely passionate about this book. He is not doing it for the money ("the sales will take care of themselves," he said.). He's writing it to leave at least one more mark on the world he's already influenced so greatly.
5. Take pictures. As I said before, most psychologists will tell you that there are three studies in Psychology that stand out as the most famous: The Milgram Obedience Experiments, The Stanford Prison Experiment, and Bandura's initial Bobo Doll Study. Regan asked him why he thinks these three studies became so well known. He pointed to three things: (1) each had social implications. (2) each involved aggression and included findings that were surprising to people, and (3) each had photo and video evidence of their findings. We spent a lot of time on this last one and how, in a visual world like the one we live in, video/photo footage goes a long way toward helping ideas stand out to people. In fact, some of the other famous studies in psychology (Mischel's Marshmallow Test, Asch's Conformity Experiment, and Chabris and Simons Invisible Gorilla Study) all include video footage that helps drive the point home for students and the public at large.
Gun policy debate appears to be heating up across the country, prompting much discussion about the relationship between guns and violence. Unfortunately, such discussions are rarely data-driven and typically reflect sound bites of the "guns don't kill people, people kill people" and the "more guns, more crime" variety.
To counter that, below are five facts about guns, anger, and violence.
Seeing a gun increases aggression. It may sound strange but researchers have known since a 1967 study by Berkowitz and LePage that the presence of a weapon increases aggression. It is an example of a psychological phenomenon referred to as priming whereby, because we associate weapons and violence (due to prior experience), seeing a weapon activates our aggression script. Priming occurs in a variety of contexts. In fact, it is a well known concept in advertising because certain stimuli encourage certain behaviors (e.g., just as seeing a weapon activates our aggression script, seeing food activates our eating script). The findings from the 1967 study have been replicated many times including a 1998 study by Anderson and colleagues that asked "does the gun pull the trigger" and found that "extant research suggests that it does" (p.313).
Holding a gun increases testosterone. The above findings on priming along with research suggesting that testosterone is associated with aggression in humans and animals prompted Klinesmith and colleagues (2005) to look at the relationship between guns, testosterone, and aggression. Remarkably, what they found was that when participants (all males) interacted with a gun for 15 minutes, their testosterone levels increased and they were more likely to engage in an aggressive act than those participants who interacted with a children's toy. The authors state that, though their study is "far from definitive, its results suggest that guns may indeed increase aggressiveness partially via changes in the hormone testosterone" (p. 570).
Possessing a gun increases the chance of dying in a gun related assault. An often cited reason for owning a gun is the need for protection. Though this has received considerable attention in the literature on gun violence, the most recent and, arguably, the most thorough is a 2009 study by Branas and colleagues exploring the link "between being shot in an assault and possession of a gun at the time" (p. 2034). The authors found that those in possession of a gun were more than 4 times more likely to be shot in an assault than those not holding a gun. In those instances when the victim had the opportunity to fight back, those in possession of a gun were more than 5 times more likely to be shot. The authors conclude that "although successful defensive gun uses can and do occur, the findings of this study do not support the perception that such successes are likely" (p. 2037)
When people are angry, they are more likely to think a neutral object is a gun. A 2010 project explored the impact of our emotional state on threat detection. The researchers, Baumann and DeSteno, induced various emotions and asked participants to quickly identify whether or not an object was a gun. Across several tests, participants who were angry were more likely to misidentify a neutral object as a gun, suggesting that in an emotionally heated situation (like a potentially violent encounter), people are likely to error in the perception of the situation. Specifically, they are likely to assume the person they are in conflict with has a weapon when he or she does not.
The data on right-to-carry laws are inconclusive. Those in favor of concealed carry laws often point to a series of books by John Lott, including the 1998 book titled More Guns, Less Crime: Understanding Crime and Gun Control Laws (the third edition was published in 2010). His books argue that crime rates go down when states pass concealed carry laws. Lott's explanation is that criminals are deterred from violence for fear of being shot by a legally armed citizen. Consequently, the more gun owners in a community, the less violent crime in that community. Not surprisingly, his books have been criticized by gun control advocates for a variety of reasons including using a limited sample, ignoring important variables, and ignoring data from other samples with contrary findings. Later editions of the book have sought to address these criticisms. However, in a 2004 review of the literature on gun violence, which included Lott's data (found here), Wellford and colleagues conclude that "with the current evidence it is not possible to determine that there is a causal link between the passage of right-to-carry laws and crime rates" (p. 150). Likewise, they argue that "additional analysis along the lines of the current literature is unlikely to yield results that will persuasively demonstrate a causal link between right-to-carry laws and crime rates" (p. 151) and they call for different types of research on this question.

We have been asked by some of our readers, as an addendum to a previous post on anger and politics, to write something about the tragic shooting in Arizona last week. While it feels premature to comment on the motivations of the shooter, it seems reasonable to write more about the anger and aggression so prevalent in American politics.
Much has already been made of the vitriolic language used by some candidates during this last election. While this election cycle did seem more aggressive than most, there may be a deeper problem when it comes to how we talk about politics in America. That is, our use of war as a metaphor for elections.
Think for a moment about any one of the last few presidential elections. In each case, the battle for the White House began with someone launching their campaign, traveling to battleground states to make their case and taking shots at their opponent. In return, their opponent fired back, blasting them for their positions. Back in the war rooms, their strategists plan to launch their next attack ad, targeting their opponent's stances. This continues… the candidates are bashed, hit, or dealt a blow, districts are targeted, candidates take aim, they fight for endorsements, they gain and lose ground, they go on the offensive, they defend themselves from attacks until, eventually, the showdown comes to an end and one is defeated.
In fact, though most do not tend to think of it this way, even the word "campaign" has a military meaning: "A series of military operations undertaken to achieve a large-scale objective during a war" (American Heritage Dictionary, 2000). In other words, the war metaphor is so deeply engrained in how we think of politics that even the word most often used to describe the process is combat term. Such language is not meaningless. How we talk about something is a reflection of how we think of it.
There are other metaphors sometimes used to describe elections; the race metaphor or the debate metaphor. Might we be better off if we thought of elections less as aggressive conflict and more as "an extended competition in which participants struggle to be the winner" or "a discussion involving opposing points"? To approach things this way means that candidates take the lead instead of gaining ground, they score points instead of taking shots or dealing blows, and they push to the finish line instead of going on the offensive. While not perfect, these may reflect healthier perspectives.

Question: It seems there is so much anger over politics in the United States these days. Is there more than there used to be and, if so, why?
It's hard to say if there is more anger than there used to be without any formal means of assessing such a thing. However, there probably is not more anger than there used to be, as much as the anger is more visible to people now. People can easily capture video examples of anger and aggression at campaign rallies and post those videos on the Internet for all to see. Likewise, weblogs, chain emails, and other sorts of discussion forums offer yet another venue for people to express their frustration. Consequently, exposure to this might make people feel as though there is more anger over politics than in the past.
As for why politics elicits so much anger from people, it happens for the same reason that people get angry about anything (see Anger Basics for a description of why and when people get angry). People may feel their personal or professional goals are being blocked, that their positions or opinions are being ignored or devalued, or that they can't cope with the outcome. There are a couple of factors, though, that make anger over politics especially prevalent.
Exaggerated Claims
It's well known that politicians tend to make exaggerated claims about their accomplishments or their opponent's positions. Those claims are often designed with the explicit purpose of making people angry (e.g., "my opponent voted for the largest tax increase in history", "my opponent wants to dismantle social security"). Thus, it isn't surprising that those who believe the claims respond with frustration. Meanwhile, it's likely that those who don't believe them respond with anger over what they perceive as dishonesty.
Selective Attention
Related to these exaggerated claims, voters seem to have a habit of only paying attention to the information that supports their perspective. They tend to believe the claims of the candidate they endorse and to perceive the claims of the other as being dishonest. They then look only for evidence that confirms their positions and ignore the data that refutes them. The Internet has made it all the easier to only pay attention to confirming evidence. If people believe a certain thing, they can usually find a website to validate their position. It's also made the spread of these exaggerated claims even easier because anyone can post just about anything on the Internet or send it out via email without regard for truth or accuracy.
Ultimately, what this means is that people will dichotomize by lumping the candidates and their supporters into groups (e.g., completely right vs. completely wrong) and fail to understand how the other side of an issue may have some validity.
Feelings of Isolation
Another interesting aspect of politics is that people find out, in a way they don't normally, how many other people in the city, state, or country agree or disagree with them. When one is on the losing side of an election, it's easy to feel isolated (e.g., "I can't believe there are so many people out there who don't get it"). That feeling of isolation can spawn feelings of resentment and frustration.
Anger as Appropriate
Sometimes, what we perceive as an anger problem might be more of an impulse control/aggression problem. There is actually a place for healthy and productive anger in the political process. If we think of anger as a valuable tool in alerting us to problems and motivating us to confront those problems, it's perfectly reasonable to get angry when elected officials and candidates act irresponsibly, endorse positions that may harm us, etc. The decisions that are made by elected officials affect many people in very real ways. Consequently, some are affected quite negatively and, potentially, unfairly by those decisions (e.g., decreased funding to certain programs, increased taxes) and an angry response might be both reasonable and healthy.
It is how one chooses to express that anger that matters most. At times, people can voice their anger in a positive way and use it to solve problems. There were many people this election cycle who were angry but didn't throw things, push people, or become verbally abusive. Instead, their anger motivated them to register voters, hold rallies, or just to get out to vote. It's when people lost control that we saw the more aggressive examples emerge and that is a far bigger problem than the anger.

|Derek Fisher takes his personal tour to Dallas

Maybe it's a sign of commitment.
The veteran point guard who signed with Dallas as a free agent this week took an elbow to the nose Friday. He says with a laugh that it will help him get back in the mix.
The 38-year-old Fisher has not played since he helped Oklahoma City sweep the Mavericks in the first round of last spring's playoffs before falling in the NBA Finals to Miami.
Dallas has lost eight of its last 11 games and the Mavs are counting on Fisher for leadership as Dirk Nowitski recovers from an injury.

Legislative notebook: Former lawmakers encourage Congress to work together
ST. PAUL -- Three Minnesota senior statesmen Tuesday asked Congress to find a bipartisan solution for the federal budget, warning that Minnesotans and state government face consequences if that does not happen.
"We've spent too much money," Republican former U.S. Sen. Rudy Boschwitz said of why Washington got into its current fiscal problem.

this plant sends out roots through the bottom of pots so will easily escape into the garden. Impossible to get rid of it once established.
I have grown this in a pond and grow it now in a terracotta pot. In the sun the colour is intensified and far better. Orange scented white flowers are nice. it needs moisture to look at its best so I have a pot with a deep plastic saucer.
Philippa check out Imperata Red Baron......now turning blood red ar a height of 60 cm. beautiful plant.
Pennisetum rubrum is tender.....needs 4 degrees minimum over winter......with red grass and foxy red flowers at a height of 70 cm in summer. Perfect for sunny spot. There is another tender variety called Fireworks available in the garden centres soon.
Carex buchanii is good too.....evergreen, easy and brown red foliage. Erect and great next to hostas. Another carex is comans bronze.....now this is a plant I really like. Similar to buchanii but wider spreading and arching. Brilliant for sunny spot. About 50 cm
Hot morning but clouded over in the afternoon. Very warm and humid
Did a load of staking. ( dahlias, heleniums) weeding and a little planting.
Took my mum out for a bit.......gets difficult at times cannot deny that....and she enjoyed herself
Watching Oranges and Sunshine, a powerful drama about those children sent to Australia in the 50's.
here is one of my flamingos. formal right now but in a couple of weeks dahlias, ,heleniums, agastaches (heatwave just emerging here) frikartii monch, echinaceas, etc and calamagrostis karl foerster will produce a much more in formal scene
Nice one Bob. A hedgehog shuffles around here too. Seen him a couple of times and always makes me chuckle I am careful on my snail hunt that I don't step on him.
Lovely, lovely morning. Had sea mists sat night to heavily water the garden.
The football? Look, , England played well, we had kids in the team, we had a bad pitch, the heat suited the Italians better, the referee and fhe crowd were against Englamd, we could have scored but a spectator took a photo and distracted a certain goal. We are the best side in the world really but other teams always score more goals than we do.
We have the most professional football set up in the world and the highest paid players and managers but we cannot play football. We will not win a single game in Brazil because we are not good enough.
Now for another piece of toast
I will post a picture of my salix Flamingo ...to go with others.....to,show how magnificent this plant is. I love it. Most people like if.....so agree wih rosesru.
Esther, it doesn't sound good but I had one in a dry spot that looked sorry for itself. A regime of generous watering for a week recovered it well. So, try thaf Esther. Check stems for signs of life ....any green if you scratch with your nails?
I always soak plants before planting. Tease out the roots and let plants stand in water for 30 mims or more if rootball is very dry. Otherwise roots will never venture out Imto the soil
Claire, yes get rid of them....I would,wait until autumn. Gives you time to work out what you would like there and it's a good time to plamt up.
What sort of soil do you have? Acid,,alkaline, light,,heavy?
Always wanted to do grafting myself Jim. Looks super neat job there.
