"At Nixon McInness, social business consultants based in Brighton, employees can place tennis balls in one of two buckets - marked "happy" and "unhappy" - when they head home. This happiness barometer acts as an early warning system so that any looming problems can be identified and addressed early on."
Maybe it's time to reinvigorate my Happiness app.

As an online educator, I look at gaming technology and immediately see learning opportunities. At a conference in 1996 I listened to Ray Kurszweil describe a future where AI enabled holographic avatars would be personal mentors and master teachers able to meet the individual needs of each and every learner. It was a vision of ultimate differentiation that would allow everyone to meet there maximum potential.
This 3-D gaming announcement feels like another step into that future.

I owe my start in online teaching and learning to the Milken Family Foundation. Back in '95 I became a Milken National Educator. The world changed. My access to information and ideas grew and my teaching spirit soared. The MFF is still doing the good work!

While I didn't have the best experience with Google Glass myself, I've never said that it was not a good tool. I saw Google Glass promote this article on Google+, and by golly, it's worth a read. THIS is mobile learning at its finest. THIS is using technology used for the good of special abilities kids, specifically autistic kids. This article pushes all the right buttons for me. It's amazing what people can do with the right technology in their hands to make the world a better place!
What do you think of this use of Google Glass/m-learning?
Dennis T OConnor's curator insight, July 27, 2014 9:20 PM
Good video orientation video for those still calling Google Drive, Google Docs. This is a great site for those looking to understand Google tech.
Pamela D Lloyd's curator insight, October 31, 2014 4:19 PM
While stress may be useful for learning not to touch a hot stove, it tends to inhibit the kind of learning that is most needed by students in today's world.

Hi: 10° Lo:4°
By Rob George Friday 04 January 2013 Updated: 04/01 16:17
A RETIRED Droitwich police officer geared up for an epic challenge and raised more than £8,000 for Acorns Children's Hospice.
Adrian Todd saddled up with his brothers Mike and Steve Todd and nephew Chris Todd to cycle from John O'Groats to Lands End in August.
The 800-plus mile challenge began in the extreme north of Scotland and finished at the southern most point of the UK and saw the kind-hearted foursome raise £8,051 for the Worcester-based hospice.
Their efforts were made all the more special as Adrian, Mike and Steve's parents John and Dorothy Todd have raised money for the charity themselves for more than two decades.
The couple were on hand to welcome the four back to the hospice on Bath Road and heard details of the epic near 1,000 mile ride.
Among the challenges faced by the riders saw them have to shelter in a builder's shed during a fierce storm which struck just miles before the finishing line in Lands End.
The remarkable efforts of the Todd family saw them cover 960 miles in just 10 days without the aid of a support vehicle.
John, previously chairman of the Worcestershire Acorns Support group, and Dorothy continue to support the charity through befriending and gardening.
The family team of riders got together to celebrate the family's work with Acorns and Dorothy said she and John were very proud of their efforts.
Acorns fund-raising manager Carole Crowe, said: "This was a wonderful donation, the Todd family's faithful support is brilliant, as it costs £750 a day, per child to care for Acorns children – mostly raised from such generous members of the community.
Visit http://toddboysjogle.blogspot.co.uk/ for all the information about the challenge.

A California court blocks an accreditor from shuttering City College of San Francisco, at least until a lawsuit filed by the city attorney goes to trial.
City College of San Francisco scrambles to make hundreds of accreditor-ordered fixes while lawsuits fly and the feds crack down on the college's accreditor.
Accelerated remediation starts to catch on at California community colleges, but might be slowed down by public university transfer policies.
A year after big protests over the idea, a new California law will allow several community colleges to charge more for overbooked courses.
The state's community colleges become the latest to consider four-year degrees, a move with big implications there and beyond.
City College of San Francisco's accreditor is in trouble with the Education Department, which sent bombshell letter that could affect college's fate.
California lawmakers want to turn up the heat on broad 2010 transfer law as community colleges and Cal State campuses add new transfer pathways.
City College of San Francisco's best hope of staying open is probably to appeal the death sentence from its accreditor, and the college may have longer than people realize to win a reprieve.
UCLA wins approval to make M.B.A. program self-sufficient, which the school sees as key to long-term success. The UCLA plan remains controversial, but Berkeley's Haas School has changed its business model with much less resistance.
As budget crunch eases at California's community colleges, a lawmaker pushes two-tiered tuition, a solution both faculty groups and system leaders oppose.

Demonstration against McDonough County factory hog facility proposal Dec. 21
Online Staff Report
MACOMB, Ill. — A demonstration will be held prior to the McDonough County Board meeting Wednesday, Dec. 21, to protest the South Morgan Acres, LLC, hog facility proposal.
The county board intends to deliberate and issue a decision about whether to recommend approval or denial of the project to the Illinois Department of Agriculture at Wednesday's meeting.
The South Morgan Acres, LLC, proposal is of great concern to area residents and "Clean Responsible Agriculture No CAFOs" (CRANC). South Morgan Acres, LLC, will house more than 18,000 hogs adjacent to the La Moine River and many nearby residences. The facility is affiliated with Professional Swine Management, which has a poor environmental track record.
The demonstration will be held at the east door of the McDonough County Courthouse in Macomb, Ill., at 6 p.m. Concerned citizens are encouraged to attend.

Live like royalty in our grand Parisian home, elegantly appointed with tasteful furnishings, fine antiques and an eclectic art collection. Incredibly spacious at 1200 square feet, it's a perfect place for those looking for truly spectacular surroundings and every creature comfort.
Temple is located in the heart of the lively Marais, filled with chic boutiques, galleries & restaurants. The apartment offers an amount of space that is rare for in this very old, historic section of the city.
The apartment has retained many of the building's original features, including antique polished stone floors, ancient beams and soaring 12 foot ceilings. Located on the building's second and third floors (with elevator), a long wall of windows means that there's always lots of light, along with an absolutely stunning view of the Parisian streetscape. In addition to a very large living/formal dining area, there is a spacious, well equipped chef's kitchen with a separate breakfast nook.
An old staircase leads you to a spacious master bedroom with queen bed, and a second bedrooms which can be made up as one queen ore two twins. There is a high quality queen sleeper sofa in the living room that can accommodate two additional guests. On the Second (bedroom) level, there is a full bath with shower, and an additional shower and separate W/C. The first floor has an additional W/C.
The neighborhood was known as a location for artisans in the past, and is still home to a large selection of jewelry shops. It is conveniently located adjacent to Marais Village, parking, and Paris' oldest open air market, the Marche des Enfants Rouge, where you can pick up provisions for the perfect Parisian home-cooked meal.
We offer luxurious, high quality linens and towels, a reasonably priced airport transfer service, and a Paris based American manager who can assist with restaurant and tour reservations, and is on hand should any unexpected issues arise.
There s no words to describe this apartment ..the greetings from David, the apartments furniture, location and all was perfect .i didn't expect it to be that beautiful and what I saw was above my expectations ..we also walked to everything..amazing amazing amazing
This was such a great place for us to stay for our time in Paris. The warm greeting from David (and fresh fruit and vegetables) to all the recommendations from the owners to the flat itself made this a wonderful place. The photos don't really do justice - the rooms have sweeping ceilings and so many details that make this a jewel. The bedrooms are quite large and fresh with a ton of sunlight. They're also upstairs to if some people wanted to stay up later, they could without disturbing others who needed an early night's sleep. It was the perfect place for our group (4).
We were lucky enough to stay in this lovely home in late April of 2013. It was everything one could ask for and more: spacious, delightfully decorated and peppered with lovely pieces of art and furniture (personal favorite was the well-worn butcher block table on the second floor). The location is superb, with several metro lines, a grocery store, shops and restaurants within easy walking distance. We walked everywhere, including to the Place des Vosges, Pompidou, Notre Dame, even the Louvre (it's doable, but really, just hop on the metro). Don't miss the Marche des Enfants Rouges, where the crêpes are amazing and the guy who makes them is even better. Michael was responsive, easy to work with and helped arrange transportation. We were met by David, who patiently put up with an airport delay. I'd like to thank our hosts for the chance to feel like locals. There's no better way to enjoy Paris.

Bee Vee Face Mostly trad climbing11 routes in crag
Did you know?
Did you know that you can create an account to record, track and share your climbing ascents? Thousands of climbers are already doing this.
Stats & downloads
Get directions to here using Google Maps
Climbing at Bee Vee will make climbing anywhere else seem great.
An old slate quarry of mostly loose, chalky and thinly-bedded rock. The wall is close to vertical. There are no fixed anchors at the top and the nearest useful tree, bush or boulder is at least 100m from the edge. Star droppers may be useful but the ground is rocky.
Access issues
It would be council land. There is an ancient "Keep Out" sign near the road.
Driving north through Burra, look for the obvious cutting through the hill on your right before the golf course turn off. 3 minute walk to climbs.
Where to stay
The fixed protection is either rusty old carrots or huge metal spikes (presumably used for aid).
The climbs were 'established' by 'Dave Jennings' which may be a nom de plume to save someone's climbing career.

SEC's impact freshmen and sophomores
By Chris Low
Who are the top young players in the SEC, the impact underclassmen in 2011?
The first guy that comes to mind is South Carolina sophomore running back
Marcus Lattimore
, who rushed for 1,197 yards last season and was the unanimous choice for National Freshman of the Year.
But he's hardly the only talented underclassman in this league poised for a big season.
Here's a look at the three true freshmen and the three sophomores we think will have the biggest impacts this fall.
Jadeveon Clowney put on a Gamecocks hat last February and coach Steve Spurrier plans to have him in a Gamecocks helmet early this fall.
Jadeveon Clowney
, South Carolina:
He was the No. 1 prospect in the country last year and already has the look physically of a third-year veteran in the SEC. The 6-6, 254-pound Clowney has everything it takes to be a force rushing the passer, and coach Steve Spurrier said fans won't have to wait long to see him. One of the best things Clowney has going for him is that he doesn't have to come in and be Superman. The Gamecocks are deep and talented around him on the defensive line, which means teams won't be able to gang up on Clowney.
Isaiah Crowell
, Georgia:
The Bulldogs lost their top two rushers from a year ago and need a dynamic presence in the backfield. Enter Crowell, who was the running back everybody in the country wanted. The pressure is immense for him to produce right away, but he's already shown a lot of the same speed, acceleration and cutting ability in practice that made him one of the country's most sought-after players last year.
Anthony Johnson
Talk about teams loaded with young talent. LSU is overflowing with first- and second-year players who will make big impacts, and by this time in November, the rest of the league will be very familiar with the 6-3, 310-pound Johnson. His nickname is "Freak," and LSU coach Les Miles is using words like "unbelievable" to describe him. His teammates have been equally impressed with his quickness, his hands and how he's always around the football.
Tyler Bray
, Tennessee:
Among freshman FBS quarterbacks last season, Bray ranked third in quarterback rating (142.73), tied for fourth in touchdowns (18) and sixth in passing yards per game (205.4). He was a big reason the Vols were able to regroup from a 2-6 start and get to a bowl game. The 6-6, 202-pound Bray has a big-time arm, one of the best in the SEC, and can fit the ball into the tightest of quarters. If he learns to read defenses better, he could have a 3,000-yard, 30-touchdown season in 2011.
RB Marcus Lattimore, South Carolina:
Some of the early Heisman Trophy lists have Lattimore at or near the top. He's a workhorse who carried the ball 249 times as a freshman and has bulked up to 230 pounds to be able to absorb even more pounding this season. He's also an effective receiver out of the backfield, catching 29 passes for 412 yards and two touchdowns. The best thing Lattimore does is break tackles. He finds creases and turns 2-yard runs into 6- and 7-yard runs. He also has outstanding speed and a nose for the end zone. If you're looking for a complete runnning back, Lattimore is your man.
Spencer Ware
What can't Ware do? He was a quarterback in high school and threw a touchdown pass in the Auburn game last season. He also plays on LSU's baseball team. Here's betting he makes his mark this season as one of the most exciting running backs in the league. We saw a glimpse in the Cotton Bowl last season when he rushed for 102 yards on 10 carries in the win over Texas A&M. The 5-11, 223-pound Ware is also a threat catching the ball out of the backfield, and when he gets into the open field, that's when the fun begins.

WILKES-BARRE — Alligator jawbones, burls, snakeskin — that's just a fraction of the short list of materials Richard Horner "turns" into pens.
"I've tried just about anything," the Rimersburg, Clarion County, craftsman said Thursday, opening day of the 59th Fine Arts Fiesta.
Horner will sell his handmade pens this weekend alongside dozens of other artists and craftspeople. His tent, called Horner's Pens, sits near the West Market Street corner of Public Square, in range of the intermingling fragrances of jambalaya, skewered chicken, barbecue and potato pancakes.
Horner, 53, said he started turning pens as a hobby six years ago, after a YouTube video showing someone making pens using a lathe (like the kind used to make baseball bats) inspired the thought, "I can do that."
At the time, he said he worked for Pepsi, a far cry from his previous work in a furniture factory.
Pen making, he said, helped fill the void left by the career change.
About a year into working on his new-found passion, Horner found out he had esophageal cancer, and the diagnosis, he said, left him with free time.
"For about a year I was kind of out of commission, but I still made pens," he said.
Horner said he gave them away for as long as he could, but he soon ran out of people willing to take them. After a while, he said, the fruits of his labor began piling up around the house and his wife finally asked, "'What are you going to do with all these pens?'"
"Through pens and prayers," he said, he overcame the cancer and soon started selling them at art shows.
Because of the surgery he received as part of his treatment, Horner said he has to be extra careful of his posture when working with the lathe.
"My stomach is right here," he said pointing to his chest. Then, gesturing from his mouth to the floor, "If I bend over, there's nothing there to stop it."
One pen, he said, can take anywhere from one hour for a relatively simple design, all the way up to 10 hours or more for something more complicated. He said he'll set just about anything he can get his hands on into acrylic or resin — including pine cones, corn cobs, postage stamps and watch gears — and try to spin it into a pen.
Around noon, 10-year-old Jessie Miller, a niece of the late Al Groh, one of the Fine Arts Fiesta's founders, gave an emphatic poetry reading during the opening ceremony.
For a moment, east met west when Mayor Tom Leighton officially opened the festival, joined on stage by the Wyoming Valley West High School Band.
The school's orchestra wrapped a performance of its program "Music Around the World," just before Leighton made his opening remarks.
In a proclamation declaring May 15-18 of 2014 "Fine Arts Fiesta days in the city of Wilkes-Barre," Leighton called the annual event a "community treasure … . Each year we get better and better as a city because of fine fiestas like this."
Weather forecasts suggest a storm will dump heavy rain on the city today, but the fiesta's executive director Brian Benedetti said he's looking forward to "four days of sun."
Though the outlook today calls for rain, he said he's staying optimistic the rain might hold out.

Nothing strange ever happens in Old St. Vital
Old St. Vital is a good place to live. Trees, parks, wildlife, lots of space to walk and cycle; rivers and some quite unexpected valleys. It's peaceful; nothing strange ever happens.
But one day a woman marched into the park; she placed a cardboard box carefully in a particular position, saluted it, and marched away. An empty, unmarked cardboard box.
One afternoon I was sitting on the Seine River bank, when a fellow came by and asked me if I'd seen "the" turtle. He collected reptiles, he said, and he wanted to try to catch one of the painted turtles that live in the river. As it happened, I had seen one, but a while ago, and it had submerged into the muddy depths and was long gone. The man took me to visit his home: among other ordinary animals, he had a pair of iguanas and a teguixen, a very intelligent South American reptile which can grow to three feet, and is ordinarily bad-tempered and aggressive: it will bite, scratch, and lash you with its tail. His wasn't very big and was quite placid, although I didn't attempt to handle it. After that, every time I passed the man's Des Meurons Street residence I noticed the brilliant light coming from his porch, which he used to maintain the proper climate.
And one fabulous day: I was waiting at a traffic light on Rue Archibald, when I observed a guy having a severe attack of bicycle rage. He picked his bike up and threw it down on the ground. He picked it up again and SLAMMED it down. Then he picked it up and thrust it into a nearby bush and stamped away looking grimly satisfied. I looked at the fellow in the car in the next lane, and he looked at me; we smirked at each other and went on our ways as the light changed.
Closer to home, I noticed a neighbour vacuuming his hedge.
And that evening, my brother called, all in a fluster, to tell me that the Moonies had taken over Proctor & Gamble. (The symbol of the Unification Church looked rather like the P & G logo, and quite a number of people came to the same erroneous conclusion. I didn't give a hoot anyway and I've never been sure why he told me. Maybe it was just a day for such things).
Nothing strange happens in old St. Vital; but we do have moments of unusual interest.

Door to Basement from Main Floor
Our plans were drawn with no door to the basement. In framing the steps, the builder had to adjust the number of steps.
The entry door from the garage swings toward the basement opening. If someone were standing at the top of the stairs, it literally could knock them down the stairs. This leaves a very dangerous issue with an open basement stairway.
We decided to add a door, but DH and the builder are not liking my idea. I am considering a dutch door to keep it open for when the grandkids are playing in the basement area. This will allow us to keep an "ear" on their activity.
DH & builder do not like the look. To me the look is a non-issue. Anything can be made to look good and we can modify a door for the purpose. My issue is how to swing the top section. I would prefer that it could swing both ways, but do not know if this is possible.
If I had foreseen this problem, the basement opening would be elsewhere. That is why hindsight is always 20/20.
Any possible solutions GW members?
I know your basement door has to swing out unless you have a landing at the top of the stairs. Honestly, I would prefer the top to swing in so if someone comes in from the garage, they won't hit the top of the dutch door if it is open.
Not sure if it is possible, or code compliant, to have the top of a dutch door swing one way and the bottom to swing the other. You may be stuck with them swinging out - but does that affect the garage door?
Can you reverse the swing on the garage door so it swings to the other side, away from the basement?
You can use a french door for the basement door (glass with mullions). It allows you to see who is coming and going and eliminates the potential to hit a person on the stairs. I've seen it in a few homes and it looks good. It also allows light into the stairwell and basement - important if it isn't a walkout with some natural light.
It's hard to give an opinion without seeing your plan, but this is just another idea. In our previous home, the door to the garage had glass on the top, like this one from Therma Tru. Our back entry was a narrow hall, and the window actually prevented the door being swung into someone or something on occasion.
I would check your local codes on entry/exit door swings. Not sure there would be a problem, but better to check before you do it just to be safe.
Here is a link that might be useful: Therma Tru door
It looks fine to me as drawn - with the door opening against the flat wall. For some reason, I thought the door opened towards the stairwell. There appears to be a large enough landing for it not to be dangerous to me . . . Glass in the garage door would seem to solve any issue that may arise.
My understanding was the same asathensmomof3. If the garage door does open against the wall, as it should, what is the measurement of the floor from the wall behind the door when it's open and the top edge of the first step?
We have the exact same setup (also Laundry to the left, but Mudroom where you have a walk-in closet). Our finished measurement from the drywall of the wall the garage door flattens against when open, to the finished top edge of the floor before you go down onto the first step is 4'6'. We've had 3 very young grandchildren living with us for over 3 years, who constantly go up and down from the 2nd floor to the lower level walkout (DH and I mostly inhabit the 1st floor). Somehow, they haven't knocked their siblings down the stairs yet, or even hit them with the door, not that I haven't been concerned that this might happen! And that's with coat hooks on that wall behind the door to the garage, in addition to the mudroom hooks.
I would not have the door to the garage open into the garage; it's just too difficult, since we almost always are carrying something in from the car. With a couple of steps from the garage into the house, it would be very awkward to be on them to open the door, then have to back away to get the door past me, get into the house, and then with stuff in my hands have to reach back and pull the door in!
You could have the door to the basement on the landing. I've seen it both ways--at the bottom of the long run of stairs opening against the wall on the right, or at the top of the short run of the stairs opening onto the landing against the wall, not over the stairs. Or is there room to put the door at the bottom of the stairs? I'd do any of these before I'd put any door at the top, which seems to me would create more problems.
Thanks for the posts everyone. JimandAnne - we lost the landing space at the top of the stairs because of a problem in the original drawings. The contractor had to use the top step otherwise the stairs would have been too steep.
If the door swings into the garage we will build a standing platform (similar to a porch). Decisions, decisions!
Based on the plans, I really do NOT think you have a problem but if you try to put a second door at the top of the stairs, you will be creating one.
I understand that the builder wound up having to make an extra step so that the first step down is closer to the door than it was supposed to have been and that this is making you nervous.
But, unless the hinges to the door have been reversed from the way they are shown on the plan, the garage door really does NOT swing "toward" the basement opening. The hinges are on the side that is farthest from the stairs. So, the door actually swings AWAY from the stairs as it opens. At at no point would it push any object that it hit DOWN the stairs.
Seriously, if you were to place a ball on the floor in the locations shown by the blue dots in the diagram below, and then open the door so that it strikes the ball, the red arrows show the direction that the ball would be pushed.
At the worst possible spot, the ball would be pushed parallel to the top of the stairs, NOT DOWN the stairs. Everwhere else the force is AWAY from the staircase. Same thing if a person happened to be standing in one of these spots. They might get a bump but they would NOT be knocked down the stairs. You really should try this for yourself because seeing for yourself the direction that the ball moves may help to relieve your anxiety.
Furthermore, a door of any kind across the top of the stairs will CREATE the very problem that you are worried about. The door would have to swing out into the hall because code won't allow you to have a door that swings over steps. So, assume you hinge the door on the right side of the stairs. Suppose it is standing partway open in the way in the way of a "Alex" who is heading toward the garage. Alex pushes the stairway door closed so that he can reach the garage door. But just at that moment, Bobby comes up running up the stairs toward what was an OPEN doorway. He runs smack dab into a door that is closing TOWARD him. That force of that door is directed almost straight down the steps and could literally knock Bobby down the stairs.
Try it for yourself. Take a ball and a meter stick or a 3' piece of 2x4 and go out to your house. Place the ball on the floor to represent the spot where Bobby's head might be as he reaches the top of the stairs not expecting that door to suddenly close. Then set the 2x4 on the floor and hold it where on the side where the hinge would be then swing it the way a closing door would move. You can see for yourself that the ball will move in the direction show by the red arrow - i.e., DOWN the stairs.
Granted, a stairway door hinged on the other side would be less dangerous because, if it were standing open, a person who is in the garage and wanted to get inside would have a hard time forcing the stairway door to close. In fact, a door standing open like this in front of another door forms a pretty effective barrier to opening the door at all. You CAN do it - but it takes awhile and usually results in scratching the blocking door up pretty badly.
Do you want to be standing out in the garage with your arms full of groceries trying to get in when the door is blocked because one of your grandkids left the stairway door standing open?
Finally, most people coming up the stairs and intending to go into the main part of the house will tend to stay toward the inner wall as they reach the top of the stairs (shortest path and all that) so 99.9% of the time, they won't arrive at the top step immediately in front of the door anyway. As you can see in the first diagram above, even if side of the step next to the garage is really close to the door's swing path, the other side of the first really isn't that close. Put the handrail on the inside - which is the logical place to put one anyway - and that will reinforce the tendency to stay to the right as you climb the stairs which will further reducing the chance for any possible possible collision with the door to the garage when it opens.
Get a half-light door for the garage so that you can see in when opening that door and then stop worrying.
I agree with chispa. Really, you can use a French door for the basement door. That may be a perfect solution. Thanks for sharing..
The garage door can open into the garage (it is not part of an egress path) if it swings over a level landing at least 36" x 36". This seems like the better solution since a garage door with glass in it would be required to have a 20 minute fire rating which means fire-rated/wired glass.
If you can't decide which way to swing the glass basement door make it a pair of glass doors with 2/5 true panes. You will be able to hear most of what is going on in the basement if you undercut the doors an inch or more or one of the doors could be left open without restricting use of the hall too badly.

Sandy Hook Shooting: One Year Later, Nation Still Struggles With Impact
One year ago today, horror struck Sandy Hook Elementary school in Newtown, Conn., in such a way that the town, state and nation still struggle to grasp it.
The disturbing legacy of the second-deadliest mass shooting in U.S. history is so profound that it cannot hold just one meaning. Nor can it be easily reconciled.

John Leadley Dagg (1794-1884)
Author, Baptist clergyman John Leadley Dagg spent the latter part of his career in Georgia, including twelve years as a professor of theology and then president of Mercer University in the 1840s and 1850s. His influential books on theology and ethics established his reputation as the country's first systematic Baptist theologian.
Dagg was born near Middleburg, Virginia, on February 13, 1794. He received limited formal education, attending school from 1803 to 1810. In 1817 he married Fanny H. Thornton, with whom he had four children. In 1832 he married Mary Young Davis; they had one child.
After beginning his career as a Baptist pastor and teacher in northern Virginia, Dagg served from 1825 to 1834 as the minister of a prominent Philadelphia church, despite being lame and almost blind. After he lost his voice as well, he resigned his pulpit and became president and professor at Haddington Literary and Theological Institute, near Philadelphia (1834-36), and then at Alabama Female Athenaeum, Tuscaloosa, Alabama. (1836-44). In 1843 the University of Alabama awarded him an honorary doctorate of divinity.
As an educator and theologian, Dagg is best known for his work in Georgia between 1844 and 1870. From 1844 to 1856 he was on the faculty of Mercer University, then located in Penfield, as professor of theology and later president of the college. Under his leadership four brick buildings were constructed; the student body almost tripled, to a total of 181; and a three-year program leading to the bachelor of divinity degree was established, with three full-time professors.
His Madison, and Forsyth with his clergyman son, John Francis Dagg. He prepared A Manual of Theology (1857), A Treatise on Church Order (1858), The Elements of Moral Science (1859), and The Evidences of Christianity (1869). His reputation as a theologian and ethicist rests on these four works. All were used as textbooks and enjoyed wide circulation and commendation into the twentieth century. The first two are still in print.
In 1870 Dagg moved to Alabama, where he lived with a married daughter. He died on June 11, 1884, in Hayneville, Alabama. He is buried there in a grave approximately located and marked in 1957 by the Georgia Baptist Convention.

Results: No differences in body weight were observed between the IF and SD groups. Peripheral glucose uptake and hepatic insulin sensitivity during the clamp did not significantly differ between the IF and SD groups. Likewise, lipolysis and proteolysis were not different between the IF and SD groups. IF decreased resting energy expenditure. IF had no effect on the phosphorylation of AKT but significantly increased the phosphorylation of glycogen synthase kinase. Phosphorylation of mTOR was significantly lower after IF than after the SD.Conclusions: IF does not affect whole-body glucose, lipid, or protein metabolism in healthy lean men despite changes in musclephosphorylation of GSK and mTOR. The decrease in resting energy expenditure after IF indicates the possibility of an increase in weight during IF when caloric intake is not adjusted. This study was registered at www.trialregister.nl as NTR1841.
A controlled trial of reduced meal frequency without caloric restriction in healthy, normal-weight, middle-aged adults. KS Stote, DJ Baer, K Spears, DR Paul, GK … - American Journal of …, 2007 - Am Soc Nutrition. http://www.ajcn.org/cgi/content/abstract/85/4/981
Results:Subjects who completed the study maintained their body weight within 2 kg of their initial weight throughout the 6-mo period. There were no significant effects of meal frequency on heart rate, body temperature, or most of the blood variables measured. However, when consuming 1 meal/d, subjects had a significant increase in hunger; a significant modification of body composition, including reductions in fat mass; significant increases in blood pressure and in total, LDL-, and HDL-cholesterol concentrations; and a significant decrease in concentrations of cortisol.
Conclusions:Normal-weight subjects are able to comply with a 1 meal/d diet. When meal frequency is decreased without a reduction in overall calorie intake, modest changes occur in body composition, some cardiovascular disease risk factors, and hematologic variables. Diurnal variations may affect outcomes.

Collectively, the available data therefore suggest that meal skipping or intermittent CR diets can result in health benefits including improvedglucose regulation, but only if there is an overall reduction in energy intake.

Ford eventually recalled the Pinto to lessen the risk that bolts in the rear axle would puncture the gas tank upon impact, but the debate over the case raged for decades after, with a 1991 paper arguing Ford was railroaded and that the Pinto was no more dangerous than other cars of its era. That's not a high bar, and Ford's mistakes in dealing with the Pinto would change auto safety laws and lawsuits for decades to come.

Glee star Matthew Morrison told the press this week he always knew the show would be a hit.
The 32 year old actor revealed he immediately sensed the show about a group of high school misfits who love to sing and dance would prove popular.
Morrison plays beloved singing teacher Mr. Schuester in the series and he claims the whole cast were confident the script was something special.
'I knew right away!' Morrison said in an interview with the BBC. 'When we were doing it we all felt like we were part of something special - there was just something in the air. It was different and fresh.'
Filming for the highly-anticipated second season with stars such as Justin Timberlake, Jennifer Lopez and Susan Boyle rumored to be making cameos, will start in July.
Although Morrison says he doesn't feel any pressure for the second season to be as good, he admits the writers of Glee have a lot to live up to.
'We have set the bar really high, so it's going to be hard to maintain that level of writing on the show,' he said.
'Glee's' success has helped Matthew land a solo record deal, and his debut album will be released later this year.

Winnipeg Free Press - PRINT EDITION
Nanking's festering legacy
Japanese denial of war atrocities infects modern relations
This month 75 years ago, the people of Nanking, China's ancient capital city, were in the midst of one of the worst atrocities in history, the infamous Rape of Nanking. The truth of what actually happened is at the centre of a bitter dispute between China and Japan that continues to play out in present-day relations. Many Chinese see Japan's election last month of ultraconservative nationalist Shinzo Abe as prime minister as just the latest in a string of insults. And it was recently reported Japan is considering rolling back its 1993 apology regarding "comfort women," the thousands of women the Japanese army sexually enslaved during the Second World War.
On Dec. 13, 1937, the Japanese Imperial Army captured Nanking. No one knows the exact toll the Japanese soldiers exacted on its citizens, but a postwar Allied investigation put the numbers at more than 200,000 killed and at least 20,000 women and girls raped in the six weeks after the city fell.
In 2006, we travelled to China and Japan to interview victims and soldiers who took part in the massacre. One former Japanese soldier explained, without a hint of regret: "We all drew straws and the man who pulled out the one marked first, he brushed off her face tenderly and treated her pretty, yes, and then proceeded to rape her. As their daughter was being raped, the parents would come outside and gesture to us, 'Please spare her!' They'd bang their heads on the ground and plead with us. We'd take one girl and five of us would hold her down."
In China, a 79-year-old man tearfully described how, at nine years old, he watched a soldier bayonet his mother to death as she breast fed his brother. Another man saw his 13-year-old sister sliced in half by a Japanese soldier after she resisted being raped. Elderly women told harrowing stories of the rapes they endured as young girls.
It was the mass rapes in Nanking and the brutalization of an entire populace that eventually convinced Japanese military leaders they needed to contain the chaos. Japanese soldiers began rounding up women and forcing them to serve as sex slaves in so-called comfort stations.
This is what most historians believe. But not in Japan, where a large faction of conservatives, led by Abe, denies that the Japanese military forced women into sexual slavery. They maintain any suggestion to the contrary is simply anti-Japanese propaganda and probably spread by China.
At the furthest end of the spectrum, the minimizing turns to flat-out denial; one professor we interviewed at a top Japanese university adamantly insisted there were no killings or rapes in Nanking.
Not surprisingly, all this minimizing and denial enrages the Chinese and others in Asia. But this is a familiar pattern.
Abe has visited the controversial Yasukuni shrine in Tokyo and has said he plans to visit again as prime minister. This is the place where the souls of more than two million Japanese war dead are said to be enshrined. Among them are 14 men convicted at the end of the Second World War of what are known as Class-A war crimes, including Iwane Matsui, the general who led Japanese forces in Nanking.
To the Chinese, every visit by an official is like ripping open an unhealed wound. Former prime minister Junichiro Koizumi went there six times, and his 2005 visit resulted in anti-Japanese riots in China.
It's also informative to walk just a few yards to the Yushukan, the museum affiliated with the Yasukuni shrine. There, as we surveyed the exhibits on the Great East Asian War (Second World War to much of the rest of the world), we were surprised to learn Franklin D. Roosevelt had forced Japan to go to war in a calculated effort to lift the U.S. out of the Depression. (This exhibit was recently revised to omit the Depression reference; now it just says the U.S. forced Japan into bombing Pearl Harbor.)
Then there's the exhibit that argues Japan's "entry into" other Asian countries was simply an effort to help them throw off the yoke of western colonization. The museum claims he Japanese leaders who were tried as war criminals were heroic. A tiny section on Nanking makes no mention of atrocities.
All this revisionism is interspersed with militaristic displays. And crucially, these are not a handful of dusty exhibits in an out-of-the-way place; the Yasukuni complex occupies 25 acres of prime Tokyo real estate.
Fuelled by such an aggrieved interpretation of Japan's wartime past, Abe and his party are leading efforts to amend Article 9 of the nation's postwar constitution, which mandates Japan not maintain a standing army. This comes at a time of escalating tension with China, much of it focused on the Senkaku islands. And Abe's government is considering revising what is known as the Kono Statement, a 1993 apology Japan made for the comfort women, an issue of great meaning to China and other nations that had women forced into sexual slavery.
It seems unlikely the region will erupt into armed conflict over three tiny islands or repeal of the apology. And it can be argue the move to amend the constitution shouldn't be a cause for great alarm because Japan already has a well-armed self-defence force.
What is alarming is the leaders of Japan -- and a large and vocal minority of its citizens -- have an understanding of their country's wartime history that is grounded primarily in fiction. The Rape of Nanking is not in dispute. There is abundant eyewitness testimony from foreign observers, victims and Chinese and Japanese soldiers, contemporaneous news accounts, horrifying forensic and photographic evidence and even film footage, surreptitiously shot by an American missionary.
Japanese denial in the face of all this ensures a historical event will continue to fan the flames of anger and distrust. The sooner the facts are recognized and Japanese leaders renounce paying tribute to mass killers and rapists, the sooner true healing can begin.
Bill Guttentag is a lecturer at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. He and Dan Sturman directed the documentary film Nanking, which won a Peabody Award in 2009. They wrote this for the Los Angeles Times.

Pearl Ex Pigment Powder question
Has anyone ever used any of this before? It's made by a company called Jacquard. I'm just wondering how easy it is to use. I've been looking for some opalescent or pearl paint to use on plastic beaded garland and found this on google.
If anyone has used it before, what did you mix it with?
Hi Dreamgoddess, Gosh, I've never heard of that pigment powder at all. Maybe someone else has and can help with your question.
I do know you can buy lots of colors of paints, there are pearl, metalic, glitter, etc. You can find lots to choose from at Michael's.
Hope you will come back and share before and after pics of your project with us.
Luvs, can you recommend a pearl paint that I could order online? I really wanted something that would have sort of an opalescent look to it, but haven't been able to find anything like this. So, I started looking at the pearl finishes. It'll be at least a couple of week before I can get back to a Michael's, so I was hoping to find something online.
You can try Plaid or Delta. I'll link the Plaid site for you. Just download their paint catalog and look at the metalics and the gems. There's a pearl paint in both of those categories that might work for you.
Here is a link that might be useful: Plaid paints
I have and use the Pearl-Ex Pigment powders and they are very easy to use. You just mix them with your paint or medium. But I also own a lot of Pearl paint colors which are just as easy if not easier to use because you don't have to mix anything. In the Pearl paints I use the FolkArt, Ceramcoat, and DecoArt brands.

Stanford wears down Cal
The Stanford Cardinal made their annual pilgrimage across the Bay to meet the California Golden Bears at Haas Pavilion. Stanford battled back in the second half and held Cal to 32-percent shooting from the field to capture a 69-59 win.
"This (win) means a lot, especially my senior year," stated senior Chasson Randle. "We had to make sure we put a stamp on this place. That is three in a row for us up here.
Oakland, Calif. 10/5/14 -- Klay Thompson made a huge impression this summer at the FIBA Basketball World Cup in Spain, as he helped Team USA win a gold medal. Thompson came of the bench, but was still the team's second leading scorer at 12.7 ppg., playing 23 minutes a game. His impact on an international level has catapulted his confidence as he starts his fourth NBA season for Golden State.
Palo Alto, Calif. 11/17/14 -- Stanford womens hoops tends to have great timing when it comes to defeating powerhouse Connecticut. Tonight it was all about timing and Stanford used the clock to their advantage in the 88-86 upset of No. 1 UCONN on the farm.
Oakland, Calif. 10/6/14 -- With rookie Coach Steve Kerr getting closer to some gametime rehearsals he knows it will take some time and a lot of work to get the Warriors to play to his expectations. Kerr recognizes that he has inherited a playoff contender, so there are some core piece he won't mess with. However to be a championship contender, some tinkering must happen.

Tennessee Volunteers Receive Huge Commitment from Five-Star RB Jalen Hurd
The Tennessee Volunteers could very well be the next Ole Miss when it comes to college football recruiting. Now I'm not quite ready to make a comparison to the two as the Rebels had an unbelievable 2013 class, but the Volunteers are starting to make some waves.
Coming out of the weekend Tennessee was able to receive three verbal commits in three days. After the dust has settled from the busy weekend, today highly-touted five-star running back Jalen Hurd (Hendersonville, TN/Beech) decided to join in on the action and gave a commitment to the Volunteers. Hurd attended Tennessee's Junior Day a month ago.
New head coach Butch Jones has to be pleased with the way this class is shaping up. Rome wasn't built in a day and neither is a rebuilding college football program however, these are definitely steps in the right direction for the once celebrated team.
Hurd is one of the best running backs in the 2014 class and without a doubt the top overall football prospect to come out of the state of Tennessee. In his junior season, Hurd rushed for a state-record 3,357 yards and scored an unprecedented 43 touchdowns. At 6'3″ and around 220 pounds, Hurd has a very strong frame that will propel him to the next level. Hurd is a natural runner with great vision that will only improve as the years go on.
It's been a very big week for the Volunteers. Nabbing three very solid recruits and now their biggest pickup of the class so far in Hurd. Obviously the Volunteers are in rebuild mode (as they have been for a few years now), but this is a very big step for Butch Jones and company. Hurd is a special player and one Tennessee can build around for the future.

A special touch is the added process of hand coloring, multi-step staining in which each color layer is hand-rubbed. The process adds contrast and depth, emphasizing the scraping while saturating the planks with color. Lustrous satin finish - for a warm, elegant look.

The holidays are here again. That means family, and family means listening to insane, ill-informed debates over every subject imaginable. But just because your relatives are old and probably a little crazy doesn't mean everything they say is nonsense. When it comes to some of that old down-home folksy wisdom, for example, they're actually right.

Legendary monsters "exist," if only in legend, all over the world. The series of monsters continues with a look at a few strange stories from North America.
The legendary monsters series continues with some scary stories from Africa. There are so many nations and discrete communities in Africa that the problem here was not finding the legendary stories, but whittling down the list to a manageable number.
You'd think that there are enough scary animals in Australia that monstrous legends wouldn't be necessary. Apparently the deadly creatures that terrorize people on a regular basis aren't scary enough. The continent also includes New Zealand, and I slid a monster of Antarctica in here as a convenience. Ningens and Bunyips and Yowies, oh my!
It should be no surprise that a continent with extremely high mountains, extensive waterways, and dense rainforests filled with undiscovered species would have many legends of monsters. This is just a brief overview of some of South America's monsters. These legends are often known in more than one nation, with different names for the monsters.
Between the itching and the welts and the fears of West Nile, it's easy to forget that mosquitoes are a wonder of evolution, and maybe they don't really get a fair shake from us.... READ ON
Australians are honest, trustworthy people, without exception. Well… maybe a few exceptions. Here are some of those rare Aussies in history who occasionally tried to tell a few fibs about themselves (including, in one case, lying about being Australian). Naturally, the rest of us are perfectly reliable…
1. Arthur... READ ON
The late Sir Arthur C. Clarke was loved by nerds and normals alike for his contributions to literature, film, and technology. Here's a rundown of the five biggest reasons we'll miss him.
1. Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World
Clarke kept extensive files on mysterious events, objects, and locations throughout the world. Starting in the early 1980's, he mined these files to bring us Arthur C. Clarke's Mysterious World, a thirteen-part TV series covering topics ranging from UFOs to crystal skulls.... READ ON
The legend of Santa Claus goes way back, and branches off in many directions. But he has only used reindeer to pull his sleigh full of toys for the past 200 years or so... or at least that's as far back as the research goes. This article at Cryptozoology hints at even earlier beginnings. The veracity of this research is documented at the bottom of the page, but it's an interesting read. The true story of how Santa harnessed his reindeer is comparatively recent.
In 1821, William Gilley... READ ON
