Confessions of a cell phone junkieOctober 9, 2006

Specifically, Sprint has been pushing its music service, which allows songs to be downloaded over the air for 99 cents each. And it has recently announced several new phones specifically designed for music, including the Samsung UpStage, LG's Fusic and the new LG Muziq. These phones all sell for less than $100. By contrast, the iPhone costs $500 for a 4GB version and $600 for an 8GB version. Of course, the iPhone is more than a music phone. It's a full smart phone with e-mail and mobile Web browsing functionality. To compete here, Sprint offers the HTC Mogul, a Windows Mobile device.
"We really feel like a rising tide will lift all boats," said Aaron Radelet, a spokesman for Sprint. "When customers are able to compare services and phones side by side and they look at pricing, we are confident they will see the value in Sprint."
But some of Sprint's customers say that even at $500 and $600, the iPhone simply offers them more for the money. San Diego resident Omar Bazigran is a Sprint customer who let his contract run out in anticipation of switching to AT&T for the new iPhone. Even though Sprint offered him a new updated handset and a 10 percent reduction on his phone bill, he still says he will likely buy the iPhone because he thinks it is a better value.
"I figure an 8GB iPod Nano would cost me $250," he said. "Then, a smart phone would be a couple few hundred dollars, and then an extra $50 to $100 to have the two products fused into one isn't such a bad deal for the person who was thinking of buying those two things separately anyway."
And AT&T's newly announced pricing for the iPhone data plan makes it seem even more attractive. For $60 a month, users get 450 minutes of talk time. For $80 a month, they get 900 minutes of talk time. And for $100 a month, they can talk for 1,350 minutes. All plans include unlimited e-mail and mobile Web surfing and 200 text messages a month.
Verizon Wireless has taken a similar philosophy that iPhone could actually help it sell its data services. Like Sprint, Verizon offers an over-the-air music download service. And executives at the company believe customers will see the value of its services as a differentiating factor.
"The iPhone will add excitement and stimulation to the market," Verizon CEO Ivan Seidenberg said at a conference last week. "If we have done our job, then we will be a beneficiary. I hope it does reasonably well."
But analysts say that Verizon is already in a much better position than Sprint. The company has consistently added more subscribers than its competitors every quarter and it also tends to lose fewer customers than any of its competitors with a churn rate that hovers around 1.1 percent.
"It would take a lot to damage Verizon Wireless," said Patrick Comack, an equities analyst with Zachary Investment Research. "But Sprint is already struggling. Taking away any subscribers from them now is like kicking them in the ribs when they're already down on the ground."Need for speed
The one thing that both Sprint and Verizon have going for them is their 3G networks. The initial iPhone will work only on AT&T's 2.5G network. This means that while 3G phones from Verizon and Sprint will be able to download files and surf the mobile Internet at speeds between 400 and 700 kilobits per second, the iPhone will surf at speeds more like 200kbps.
The lack of 3G is one reason that at least one Sprint user said he will wait for a new version of the iPhone before he makes the switch to AT&T. Paul Tunison, of Modesto, Calif., said he is a faithful Apple customer, but he isn't sure he could stomach the slower speeds.
"If the iPhone was 3G capable today, it would be a nonissue for me," he said. "I'd likely go ahead and buy one, but I just don't see the value if it doesn't have 3G."
Comack of Zachary Research said he thinks some Verizon and Sprint customers are going to be annoyed when they realize see how slow AT&T's EDGE network is compared with the 3G networks.
"The difference between EDGE and 3G is night and day," he said. "Customers are going to assume that they can get the same speeds they get on Verizon and Sprint and they can't. And if they roll out a 3G version of the phone in six months, I think they're going to have a lot of pissed off customers."
While it's clear that the iPhone has been hyped, some analysts wonder if people will actually follow through on the excitement and take the plunge.
"Most people subscribe to a cell phone service because of the network coverage or the price of the service," said Iain Gillott, founder of iGillottResearch. "So will the iPhone be different enough and cool enough to get people to switch service just for the phone? It will be interesting to see what happens."

during the next two years? Or has it left itself a bit of wiggle room
to introduce products with other carriers?

- Backend of visual email is steep for carrier
- I'd like to see iPhone on other carriers too, but Jobs played up the work that AT&T has had to do on the backend to enable randomaccess voicemail. (Is that style or usability? in my book, Apple is unique because it doesn't ask what the difference is, making it insanely great includes the aesthetic I like.) Because I believed that that was high barrier for the Carriers (Verizon balked when approached by Apple, for that reason among Apple's notorious secrecy and demand for control) I am surprised not to see that issue mentioned in articles like this one about the prospect of switching. Readers ask, Should I wait for the iPhone to come to my carrier? It's not just the exclusive agreement that stands in the way, its also the high cost of entry for carriers (cf the difficulty in finding a carrier in Canada and Europe.)

- Cool phone/Apple fans
- AT&T's competitors are in big trouble if they've convinced
themselves that the iPhone phenomenon is merely the result of
style or Apple fans. Style is nice, and some people will buy
whatever Apple sells, but most people are interested in the
iPhone because it delivers where all of its competition fails:
Anyone that wants to compete with the iPhone had better be
focusing on quality software, starting with the user interface.
Unfortunately, none of the iPhone's competitors have any
experience building a quality user experience.

- Absolutely - user interface is the key
- My HTC "Apache" (Sprint PPC-6700) is, on paper, a truly capable
little machine. EVDO, WiFi, BlueTooth, flip out keyboard,
speakerphone, SD card expansion, etc. It works great with
Exchange, and it's easy to add software. The big problem is
that the UI is atrocious. I've owned over a dozen Macs and two
Newtons. The Newton MessagePad in 1992 had a better
interface than this thing. The best software for it is open source
stuff (like gsplayer, though it has UI issues). And Sprint loaded it
with crapware (but Google for how to eliminate this stuff).
It's really a good thing for the mobile ecosystem that Apple's
getting in the business. It's going to force a lot of change,
either through imitation, innovation or Chapter 11 (or whatever
Korean or Chinese tax code calls it).

Perhaps you may want to wait until the product is actually out before making claims you can't back up.

- I love all things Apple, but I won't touch the iPhone as long as ATT is the only choice for the carrier. I'm not about to drop my current provider and get nailed with an early termination fee, pony up $500 for a phone and have to deal with a company I loathe. I know a number of people who feel the same way and nobody seems to acknowledge that Apple may be shooting themselves in the foot by only having the one choice in carriers. It doesn't matter to me how cool the iPhone, I just don't want to deal with ATT.

- I agree - ATT is teh suck!
- Their coverage is even worse than Sprint here! Plus, ATT long
ago (ok a different ATT than today, but they chose the name, so
they get the rep) tried to screw me over for $3/mo. because I
never made long distance calls (mobile is free). So, I dropped
them as my land line LD carrier. That was fine, except they KEPT
ADDING THEMSELVES BACK. This took way too much of my time
to correct, and ultimately I got a bill about a year later for $40+
for all these $3 charges I never needed. I wrote them a letter
telling them they would never get a penny from me. So, I guess
no iPhone for me, until they're on Sprint (whose customer
service has been impeccable - really eerily surprising) or Verizon
(great coverage in this town).

I think it absurd that there is a perception that Americans have that much disposable income, that the ~million inquiries spoken of in the article will morph into one for one purchases. Those calling are most likely not committed Apple fan(atic)s who are already committed. When the reality of a ~$700 migration cost sets in... $500 up front and anywhere from $150 to $250 to break contract... The reality will be far removed from AT&T?s dreams and aspirations.

- Possible Intangibles
- Probability would say that a/the significant percentage of people who are considering these phones are already users of data centric devices with tons of contacts and files (files, photos and movies). What the unfortunate truth may reveal is that most of the data will not migrate.
Monitor the after sale returns. AT&T is such a horribly unreliable network that the real impact of success or failure may come when within the first 14 days, when those who find themselves unhappy with the quality and reliability of the network, seek to recover their losses, and return to what they know to be a dependable carrier.
Lastly, but possibly most importantly is the culture of sales representatives in AT&T stores that I have frequented. I feel, based on personal experience and the way I was treated by AT&T in multiple regions in multiple stores (and never will again)... that this one element, may be a turning point for some users who have become comfortable with being treated like a person instead of like a credit card.
And you know, just like anyone/everyone else, I could be way off base. It all remains to be seen and just as always, AT&T may continue to succeed (with the iPhone product) in spite of themselves.

- Cell Phone Co-Ops
- I would like to see a Cell Phone Co-op! What happened to the co-ops? In the 80's there were many co-ops that were companies formed by the customers. The customer owned the company. The problem with Titans is their allegiance it so the shareholders, not to the customer. If they can slaughter the customer and sell the pelt to make an extra nickel they must do it, or the shareholders will
Sue! They have no choice as they are sworn to profits by the charter of a corporation. That would be a bold platform for an Independent party to run and encourage co-ops, to play the role of curbing corporate rape and pillage. The government cannot control the volition of greed in the corporation. It is part of the animal by nature. Co-ops could regulate the corporate animal to play fair to catch it's prey. I have a Treo 650 which is a year old. It has been like pulling teeth for me to get a company that rhymes with horizon to upgrade me when I've been a customer for 12 years. I waste so much time with them fighting for equipment that is dated. I want the iPhone now. I'm not going to sign a (2) year agreement with antique equipment. Bring back customer owned companies!

I see so many businesses open and close where a market survey could have dictated whether that's what the people wanted. It seems everybody has been burned by the name AT&T. They should have let that name rot in the grave. Do business do research anymore or is everything a craps shoot with VC money?

- who knows the consequences
- Every action has consequences, intended and unintended. One
thing analysts have not considered is how spending millions of
dollars to promote the iPhone will alter AT&T's relationships with
other vendors (and even altering their voice mail API system
wide but only telling Apple how to use the new API). If I were an
executive at RIM or Motorola, I would be much more demanding
of sales and technical support from AT&T than I have been in the
past. If that support does not come, I would be prone to ship my
best products to Verizon first. This could leave AT&T with a
shortage of the devices business users demand which could
result in a loss of business customers to other carriers. There
are always unintended consequences.
Now I love music as much as the next guy, maybe more. While
the iPhone may be a great iPod, the iPod is a true audiophile's
nightmare of bad compression and cheap d/a converters, really
a good dolby C cassette sounds better and when I see people
hook their iPods up to $2000 stereo systems I just have to
laugh, so I am not about to drop everything great about my
phone to get an iPod (like my phone takes great pictures of
moving children, if I don't want to type on my little keyboard I
can make a video message and mail it off on a high speed
network, google maps knows where I am, a home button that
always takes me to the homepage, and I have a second battery
that I can pop in if my extended battery dies-- never happened

The Gruesome Reality of Amputations in the American Civil War
As soldiers lay dying all around them and others awaited attention – some screaming, some in shocked silence – the surgeons in blood-splattered clothes went to work, sawing through bone. Their task was to sever the pulverized limbs and shattered bones of those who had been hit by deadly bullets shot from the barrels of rifled muskets. Amputations conducted on such a large scale had never been seen before.
If the evidence of apparently amputated bone stumps and saws made of stone are anything to go by, amputations have been practiced since Neolithic times. It is during periods of war, however, that the greatest leaps in this surgical procedure have taken place – simply because of the sheer numbers of amputations required in wartime. During the American Civil War (1861–1865) – a conflict in which over 70 percent of recorded wounds were to the extremities – an astonishing 50,000 amputations were performed.
It was largely down to the use of a new bullet called the Minié ball – a slug which tore through tissue like no equivalent ammunition seen before – that three quarters of all surgeries carried out on the Civil War battlefield were amputations. Large, heavy and made of soft lead, the Minié ball tended to expand upon impact, splintering and crushing bone. Yet while the number of fatalities increased as limbs were smashed to smithereens, so too did the number of amputations undertaken to combat the mortality rate.
Although gunshot wounds to the abdomen from these lethal rounds invariably resulted in death, with injuries to the arms and legs of troops, there was at least another option. Indeed, so mangled were the limbs of those who had been shot that the medic usually had little choice but to perform an amputation. It was either that or leave the stricken soldier to face the likelihood of a fatal infection.
The surgical conditions during the Civil War were appalling by today's standards. However, that's hardly surprising given the relative lack of medical knowledge at the time – the idea of a sterile environment was not yet recognized – and the chaos of battle, which would have been felt by one and all.
One surgeon stated: "We operated in old blood-stained and often pus-stained coats, we used undisinfected instruments from undisinfected plush lined cases. If a sponge (if they had sponges) or instrument fell on the floor it was washed and squeezed in a basin of water and used as if it was clean". After the limb had been cut through with a saw, the amputated limbs were often simply thrown outside the surgical tent into ever-mounting piles – then it was on to the next patient.
Because of the tremendously unsanitary conditions, a heavy mortality rate arose from so-called "surgical fevers". These were conditions like pyemia (a particularly virulent form of blood poisoning) and tetanus – both of which killed around 90 percent of those afflicted – as well as other diseases such as the now extinct "hospital gangrene."
Surgeons barely rinsed their instruments between operations, much less washed their hands before they got to work on patients – such was the septic state of surgery during the American Civil War. In the heat of battle, with countless patients needing to be treated, time was of the essence – and cleanliness an afterthought – as the surgeon toiled over his operating table for hours on end.
After seeing to the wound with a wet cloth and probing with a filthy finger for bits of bone or the bullet, the surgeon would make a call on whether or not to amputate the limb. Scalpels or knives were then used to slice through the skin and muscle, and bone saws employed for the work their name implies – hence the Civil War surgeons' nickname: "Sawbones."
Upon completion of the procedure, the operator would tie off the blood vessels with horsehair or cotton thread, scrape the bones smooth, and then sew up the skin around the site of the amputation, with opening left to allow fluid to drain. Finally bandages were applied to the stump.
Anesthesia was in its infancy during the time of the Civil War but was nonetheless in widespread use – doubtless to the welcome relief of those being operated upon. At least the surgeons generally had a rag soaked in chloroform to help relieve the patient's pain – at least for the time it took to perform the surgery – before the tourniquet was applied above the site of the wound and the business of slicing and sawing began.
Amputations were over with quickly – they could take as little as ten minutes in some cases – but they had to be: the mortality rate doubled for those performed more than 24 hours after the injury was inflicted, and yet the wait for treatment could easily be a day or two.
Indeed, the death rate was high in the best of cases, with one in four patients dying anyway after a typical amputation, and surgical fevers pushing the mortality rate up to as high as one in two.
This man, wounded in 1864, looks at the point of death, but a surgeon removed a bone in his leg that had become necrotic and apparently the stricken officer showed signs of improvement.
The hand belonged to Corporal William Brown, who had been shot in the forearm and developed gangrene. Even then, and during the hell that was war, it seems doctors attempted to document what they could of the procedures carried out for other physicians to learn from.
Pictured here, Private Jacob Dilley had his forearm removed after fighting in the Battle of Weldon Railroad, Virginia.
The surgeons did a heroic job in abominable circumstances with what little in the way of tools and knowledge they had at their disposal. Many of the operators had to learn on the job. Out of 11,000 Northern physicians, for example, only 500 had done surgery; in the Confederacy, just 27 out of 3,000.
Thirty-eight year old Private Julius Fabry in 1870 after his fifth operation, when Dr. George Otis successfully re-amputated Fabry's leg at his hip. Note the removed diseased bone on the table to his left.
The therapies and techniques used to treat wounds improved during the course of the American Civil War – in no small part to the amount of amputations that were carried out. It's also worth noting that this was the last war in which deaths due to filthy instruments and generally septic operating conditions were unavoidable due to lack of knowledge. In 1865, British surgeon Joseph Lister developed the germ theory of disease, which advocated cleaning instruments, hands and linens to avoid infection.
Not only were amputation techniques advanced by the Civil War but so too the development of more practical prosthetic devices – sometimes through the ingenuity of the patient himself in the aftermath of the fighting. In this photo we see Private Samuel H. Decker, who designed his own prosthetic devices. The information provided says: "He receives a pension of $300.00 per year, and is a doorkeeper at the House of Representatives… With the aid of his ingenious apparatus he is enabled to write legibly, to pick up any small objects, a pin for example, to carry packages of ordinary weight, to feed and clothe himself, and in one or two instances of disorder in the Congressional gallery has proved himself a formidable police officer."

Colin Montgomerie
2014 Senior PGA Champion
Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid
Colin Montgomerie learned something about playing major championship golf at the age of 51 in the 75th Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid at Harbor Shores in Benton Harbor, Michigan.
"I learned today to concentrate on me, and possibly I haven't in the past," the Scot said on May 25, after shooting a 6-under 65 for a four-stroke victory over 64-year-old Tom Watson. "We're always learning and today I concentrated on my own play and could only worry about myself."
Montgomerie is the third Scot to win senior golf 's most historic and prestigious championship, and the first since Jock Hutchison won his second Senior PGA in 1940. He is also the third-straight foreign-born player to hoist the Alfred S. Bourne Trophy.
Bob Friend, PGA director of golf operations at Pikewood National Golf Club in Morgantown, West Virginia, and Craig Thomas, PGA head professional at Metropolis Country Club in White Plains, New York, shared honors as the low PGA Club Professional in the Senior PGA Championship. Friend and Thomas were the best of the 12 PGA Club Professionals who made the 36-hole cut at Harbor Shores.
The 2015 Senior PGA Championship presented by KitchenAid will be held May 21-24 at French Lick (Indiana) Resort.

Cardiac Rehabilitation - Physical Therapist
What is a physical therapist?
Physical therapy is the health profession that focuses on the evaluation, management, and prevention of disorders of human motion.
Physical therapists, or PTs, are important members of the rehabilitation team. They evaluate and provide treatment for persons with health problems and disabilities resulting from injury, disease, overuse of muscles or tendons, pain, or loss of a body part.
Physical therapy treatments and services focus on restoring the individual's mobility (movement) and function, and preventing of further disability.
Physical therapists may provide treatment and education regarding any of the following:
- mobility (movement)
- balance and gait retraining
- heat and cold therapy and massage
- activities of daily living (ADLs)
- burn care
- casting and splinting
- wheelchair, walkers, canes, and crutches
- muscle retraining
- pain management
- cardiovascular strengthening
- use of orthotics (braces, splints) and prosthetics (artificial limbs)
- exercise programs
Physical therapists may practice in a variety of settings, including the following:
- hospitals
- nursing homes
- inpatient rehabilitation centers
- outpatient rehabilitation centers
- community and home health settings
- schools
- industrial health centers
- sports facilities
- private practice
Physical therapists have an undergraduate degree in physical therapy, and many have a Master's degree. In order to practice, all graduates must be licensed by their state by passing a national certification examination. They are accredited by the American Physical Therapy Association.

JOHNSONBURG – An aggressive nature to Johnsonburg's matches led to a team victory in a way not often used.
Johnsonburg used Criteria H, most first takedowns, to earn the winning team points in a 19-18 victory over Bradford Tuesday night at Johnsonburg Area High School.
After the matches were concluded and the score was tied at 18-18, the two coaches and official stood at the scorer's table to determine tiebreaking criteria. It was determined Johnsonburg had scored takedowns first in four of the five matches to give them the team win.
Headed into the final bout of the night, the St. Marys Area Flying Dutchmen held a slim three-point lead over county rival Ridgway Elkers, 31-28. At one point in the match, the Dutchmen had held a 22-point lead, but Ridgway had rallied and looked poised to steal the victory. Faced with a must-win scenario, St. Marys Area's Cameron Resch came through with a 4-1 decision over Ridgway's Drew Baumgratz to give the Dutch the 34-28 match victory.
The Johnsonburg Rams improved to 9-9 on the season with a 55-35 win over the Kane Wolves Monday night in the Wolves' Den. The Rams led 11-5 after one quarter. The Wolves rallied to go ahead 13-11 with three minutes left in the half but the Rams closed out the second quarter on a 10-0 run and pulled away in the fourth to get the victory.
Brockway girls basketball used a strong fourth quarter to finish off a 55-37 win over Ridgway Monday night at Ridgway Area High School in an AML South matchup.
Brcokway led 36-28 over Ridgway after three quarters with the Lady Elkers still in striking distance. Brockway began to gradually pull away in the fourth quarter, outscoring Ridgway 17-9.
JOHNSONBURG – Kane coach Dave Kiehl termed the game "sloppy" at times but his Lady Wolves rolled out of Johnsonburg in the snow Monday night with a 49-29 win, upping their record to 9-8 as they battle for favorable playoff positioning.
The Ramettes (5-12), shorthanded without two of their forwards, relied heavily on sophomore Nicole Myers as she paced all scorers with 17 points. The rest of the starting five notched just eight points while Emily Dillinger contributed two field goals off the bench.
Ridgway's trilogy of close games this past week ended in most dramatic fashion.
Ridgway junior Jeremy Breier hit a mid-range jumper at the buzzer to give the Elkers a 30-29 win over AML South foe DuBois Central Catholic Friday night at Ridgway Area High School.
It was Ridgway's third nailbiter of the past seven days after an overtime win at Johnsonburg last Friday and overtime win hosting Curwensvville on Tuesday.
JOHNSONBURG – The Elk County Catholic Crusaders got off to a fast start Friday night and were able to keep the Rams at bay late in the fourth quarter to earn a 56-47 win in Johnsonburg.
Nate DaCanal led all scorers with 21 points while teammate Jeffrey Wehler finished with 11. Johnsonburg's Kevin Benson paced the Rams with 19 points, 15 of them coming in the fourth quarter.
Curwensville junior Jake Bloom hit a miracle three-pointer to send Tuesday's game to overtime.
Fortunately for Ridgway, the Elkers haven't been losing in the extra session this season.
Ridgway hung on through four extra minutes for a 41-40 overtime win over the Golden Tide Tuesday night at Ridgway Area High School in an AML South matchup.
JOHNSONBURG – The Johnsonburg Rams had three players in double figures Tuesday night as they scored a 49-34 win over visiting Sheffield.
The Rams were led by Ryan Kilhoffer with 14 points, Zane Hodgdon with 13, and Christian Cherry with 12.
Johnsonburg head varsity boys basketball coach Bill Shuey was displeased with the win, however, citing poor shooting from the field and defensive lapses during the game.
The St. Marys Area Lady Dutch used a strong first half to defeat the Johnsonburg Ramettes by a 44-31 score Monday night in a non-league game played at the SMAHS Dutch Oven on Elementary Night and Pink Game Night.
St. Marys held a 14-2 lead after the first quarter and led 22-9 at the half. Each team scored 22 second half points as the Lady Dutch picked up the win.
"As a team we are definitely improving as the season goes on," said St. Marys coach Leona Hoohuli.
"Michelle (Bauer) and AnnMarie (Vargas) did good jobs for us coming off the bench," added Hoohuli.

Artist Dwight Hwang describes this Japanese cuttlefish image as "one of the oddest things I've ever printed." Created from one of his original gyotaku prints—made by painting a real fish with Japanese Sumi ink, covering it with a sheet of rice paper, and rubbing—this photo reproduction is rich with the subtle imperfections offered by this method (which are highly prized in Japanese culture). This print is stamped with Hwang's name in kanji characters, then signed with his English name.

Behaviorist Perspective
Behaviorist approaches are different from most other perspectives because they view people as controlled by their environment and specifically that we are the result of what we have learned from our environment. The early philosophical base for this learning perspective of personality is English philosopher, John Locke (1632-1704) who viewed the new born baby as a blank slate - tabula rasa - on whom the experience of life would write a specific story.
It is interesting to realize that one of the earliest contributors to learning theory, Ivan Pavlov, was not even researching personality when he discovered something that later resulted in his receipt of the Noble prize. This Russian physiologist was studying the digestive processes in dogs. He had surgically implanted tubes in the checks of dogs to study the reflexive secretion of saliva during eating when he noticed a curious thing: after several feedings the dogs started salivating when they saw food being brought to them rather than when the food was placed in their mouths. He hypothesized that the dogs were responding to the sight of the food. To prove this, he presented food with the clicking of a metronome and discovered that the dogs soon began to salivate simply by hearing the metronome. This is how Pavlov discovered classical conditioning.
Pavlov's research was the impetus for the behaviorist perspective. Soon researchers such as John Watson (1878-1958) would formulate ideas that became known as behaviorism. Watson's theories are often described as extreme behaviorism as he felt that psychologists should only study behavior and not any other processes such as consciousness or feelings because these are not compatible with objective scientific experimentation. B. F. Skinner is the best known behaviorist and like Watson, is described as a radical behaviorist. Skinner believed that all of our behavior is the result of punishment and reward; this theory forms the principles of operant conditioning that he proposed.
Read more about operant conditioning if you wish before you attempt the following activity.
Identify one habit or behavior in yourself that you would like to change. Develop a simple structure of rewards and punishments which will assist you to operationally condition yourself to change this behavior. For example, if you would like to eliminate a habit of snacking between meals, you might decide to "punish" yourself with 10 pushups every time you snack between meals. You might "reward" yourself by giving yourself a dollar before each meal when snacking before the meal did not occur. You would then need to use your "snack money reward" toward some fun activity or item for yourself. (Like a hot fudge sundae! Just kidding.)
Once you have selected the habit and your system of reward, use the attached diary to track your behavior for one week. Turn a copy of this diary in to your instructor at the end of the week.
f you are finished with this component, you may proceed to the Humanistic Perspective.

Mitt Romney's Missed Opportunity
Over the course of four political campaigns, Mitt Romney has inhabited many personas, trying to meet the needs of the time and the race. He was a socially liberal Senate hopeful in an unsuccessful 1994 challenge to Ted Kennedy. Then he was a social conservative running against John McCain for the Republican nomination in 2008. His good fortune in 2012 was that he could run as himself: a businessman so successful even Bill Clinton has lauded his "sterling career."

Bad News
So... Things are not looking good at all.
First, huge thanks to Jon at Frozen Motor Works. He was already booked up for today but he really tried to help me out and went above and beyond. Rock solid guy.
I went to pick up my bike this morning, I found out that one of my touratech bags had been bashed on the front and the rear, and the touratech 'locked' console had been pried open instead of using the key on the key ring. Not happy at all about that. I had told them it didn't't have enough coolant in there and the oil was contaminated but tech made notes that he ran it for an hour and the oil was good but the low oil pressure light was on and it was making an awful racket and that it needs a top end rebuild because the piston slap he was hearing.
Now, I told the it has brand new pistons and rings, cam chains, tensioners etc and what had happened but that was all ignored and a diagnostic was made based on listening to it run for an hour with no oil pressure. They had topped up coolant with glycol based coolant instead of the engine ice I use and had mentioned, and it gummed up all the oil so there was no pressure. He ran it for an hour and overcooked my engine. Then they wanted to keep it for several weeks and do a total rebuild which I already had said was not possible as I have to head home to Vancouver and go back to work shortly.
Anyways, I went to do my own diagnostic. Checked that there was oil and topped up the rad with distilled water to check for bubbles. Start it, and it was blowing out terrible smoke and stench right away. Never did that while it was in my care, it was bad and very noisy. Killed it right away and drained the oil. Yup! Mayonnaise! That's when I knew what they had really done and that they ran it for an hour, I no longer know how bad the damage is and I am pretty sure they did abuse of my engine as well. It took about 45 minutes for all the sludge to drain out it was so bad (of course there is a lot left and needs to be flushed) I was running out of time. Getting frustrated with bad workmanship, my brand new touratech bag getting smashed as well as the accessory racks (front and back of pannier was smashed). I got the $100 diagnostic fee back for my troubles. I hope I don't find they fried my brand new top end too with that diagnostic session.
I don't have enough supplies to flush everything properly, or really the time as I only have one more day so I don't see doing it myself in that timespan. Clearly I'm not as fast as you folk. I'm new to adventure bikes and came from street bikes so don't feel up to the task on my own in such short time, and I don't want to mess up my in-laws vacation as well. So I think it will have to be trucked back, and I'll have to miss the main riding I did this trip for. Oh we'll...
So... For when I get back and pull this thing out. Would a head gasket allow that much coolant into the oil? Or is it too pressurized from the combustion chamber and would just blow it out the overflow? Water pump? That much? On a new shaft and gasket? Granted, the condition I got my bike back was far worse than what I gave it to them in so who knows how bad it as abused by them. I could be not that bad and they just let it overheat for an hour and made things really bad.
Suggestions? I tried not to rant too much but I'm pretty exhaust at this point and pretty upset at the shop. (NOT Jon and Frozen Motor Works! He was awesome and tried no set me up with what I needed to take care of this. The big store that initially worked on my bike is who I'm upset with)
The for a few drinks to cool off, then I'll see if I feel like trying anything further or if I am risking too much after what has been done to my bike. Any thoughts?
PS (Jon, I will get in touch. I tucked something away for you. Thanks for all your help. I Wally didn't want to interfere with your existing plans, and it was extremely nice of you to do what you did for me.)

Big Green Is In Denial: Naomi In Conversation with Earth Island Journal
By Jason Mark - September 25th, 2013
Published in
Earth Island Journal
Canadian author Naomi Klein is so well known for her blade-sharp commentary that it's easy to forget that she is, above all, a first-rate reporter. I got a glimpse into her priorities as I was working on this interview. Klein told me she was worried that some of the things she had said would make it hard for her to land an interview with a president of the one of the Big Green groups (read below and you'll see why). She was more interested in nabbing the story than being the story; her reporting trumped any opinion-making.
Such focus is a hallmark of Klein's career. She doesn't do much of the chattering class's news cycle blathering. She works steadily, carefully, quietly. It can be surprising to remember that Klein's immense global influence rests on a relatively small body of work; she has published three books, one of which is an anthology of magazine pieces.
Klein's first book, No Logo, investigated how brand names manipulate public desires while exploiting the people who make their products. The book came out just weeks after the WTO protests in Seattle and became an international bestseller. Her next major book, The Shock Doctrine, argued that free-marketeers often use crises – natural or manufactured – to ram through deregulatory policies. With her newest, yet-to-be named book, Klein turns her attention to climate change. Scheduled for release in 2014, the book will also be made into a film by her husband and creative partner, Avi Lewis.
Klein's books and articles have sought to articulate a counternarrative to the march of corporate globalization and government austerity. She believes climate change provides a new chance for creating such a counternarrative. "The book I am writing is arguing that our responses to climate change can rebuild the public sphere, can strengthen our communities, can have work with dignity."
First, though, she has to finish the reporting. As she told me, speaking about the grassroots response to climate chaos: "Right now it's under the radar, but I'm following it quite closely."

Following a global disaster, how could we rebuild, especially when so much information is in digital form? Many readers are quite capable of building a workable generator, but what if you were presented with an abandoned copper mine and told to make the wire for the coils?
What I envision as the solution to this is the ultimate in hard copy. A basic grounding in the essential sciences - from agriculture upwards - should be engraved onto large, durable plaques. These should be made to withstand millennia of touching by visitors, and repeated in several languages at geologically stable locations around the globe, at least one per continent.
They must not be hidden. Instead, visitors must be encouraged. The plaques could be arranged in a labyrinthine walk with areas large enough for crowds to rest or picnic before particularly important information. Groups of schoolchildren could go on trips to view ...

Art Anderson, 76, a Boy Scouts hike leader and synagogue treasurer from Kokomo, Ind. was stabbed to death on Sunday in front of his Boy Scouts.
Anderson was leading a hike of a local boy scout troop when Shane Golitko, 22, approached the group and stabbed Anderson in the neck, killing him, police said. Golitko was taken into police custody.
Earlier that night, police said, Golitko's mother had called 911 to report that her son had beaten her during an argument. After the argument, Golitko grabbed a knife and then apparently came upon Anderson. He then returned home and stabbed his dogs, killing one of them, police said.
Anderson was treasurer at his temple, B'nai Israel, where he was often called upon to fix bad wiring, according to the Indianapolis Star. He was active in his community, volunteering at the Kokomo Civic Theatre, Kokomo High School, the Boy Scouts and the Miami Correctional Facility, the paper said.

Even though I've been playing video games for most of my life, I have had very little experience with the Final Fantasy series. I once played about 15 hours into XIII a while back and that's about it. So, a couple months ago, I took it upon myself to play all of the numbered Final Fantasy games. This may seem crazy, but it's actually rather tame. The rules I defined for myself were:
- The versions I play will be whichever ones I can get my hands on the easiest.
- I don't have to play the MMO's.
- I don't have to get 100% completion.
- I have to read/ pay attention to all the text/dialogue they throw at me.
- I can use game guides, because I want to actually finish these older ones.
The games and versions I plan to play are as follows:
- Final Fantasy I (iOS)
- Final Fantasy II (iOS)
- Final Fantasy III (DS)
- Final Fantasy IV (DS)
- Final Fantasy V (PS via PSN)
- Final Fantasy VI (PS via PSN)
- Final Fantasy VII (PS via PSN)
- Final Fantasy VIII (PS via PSN)
- Final Fantasy IX (PS via PSN)
- Final Fantasy X (PS2)
- Final Fantasy X-2 (PS2)
- Final Fantasy XII (PS2)
- Final Fantasy XIII (X360)
- Final Fantasy XII-2 (X360)
- Final Fantasy XIII: Lightning Returns (X360) (when it's released)
As of right now I am about halfway through Final Fantasy III. I'm gonna write my impressions of these games from the view of someone going in cold and with next to zero investment in or nostalgia for the series. Hopefully this will be interesting. If you've played a lot of these games and want to say mean things about my views on them, feel free to do so.

National Puppy Day falls right on the cusp of spring, which means you're probably getting the sniffles just by reading this article. Here are some of the best and worst dogs for people with allergies.

It's National Puppy Day, according to very important people who can declare nationally-themed days.
Colleen Paige founded the special day, including other internationally recognized animal-themed holidays, according to her website.
" ... It's a day to help save orphaned puppies across the globe and educate the public about the horrors of puppy mills, as well as further our mission for a nation of puppy-free pet stores."
For those not in the know, the ASPCA defines puppy mills as large-scale commercial dog breeding operations. Usually the dogs raised there are neglected and subjected to irresponsible breeding practices.

Pregnancy and Medication
Pregnant women with a history of anxiety or depression can face difficult and confusing choices about treating their symptoms with antidepressants and other medications.
Both anxiety disorders and depression are more likely to affect women than men, and women who are pregnant are not excluded. In fact, symptoms can develop or worsen during or after pregnancy, though in some cases women notice fewer symptoms while pregnant. Women can have an anxiety disorder and depression at the same time, too.
This is consistent with a 2009 ADAA online poll:
- 52% percent of women who have been pregnant reported increased anxiety or depression while pregnant.
- 32% reported a decrease in symptoms.
- 16% experienced no change.
The effectiveness and safety of treating these symptoms can also vary, and studies looking at these issues in pregnant women with mental health disorders are limited. Read on for an overview of what is known about treatment of anxiety and depression for pregnant women.
If you are pregnant or planning to start a family, it's best to discuss these options and any concerns with your therapist, physician, and OB-GYN, who can work with you to develop or change your treatment plan. You may also consider a consultation with a psychiatrist who specializes in treating pregnant and postpartum women.
Safety of medications
Any treatment plan has risks and benefits, and for pregnant women, the risks are of particular concern. Just as particular nutrients are passed to the fetus when food is eaten, so does some medication transfer from mother to unborn child.
Studies have shown that antidepressant use is associated with preterm delivery, but a 2009 report from the American Psychiatric Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists advised that additional work is needed to determine whether taking antidepressants or other associated factors such as depressed mood, maternal obesity, or socioeconomic stress are more direct causes of preterm birth.
Antidepressants are also prescribed to treat anxiety disorders such as generalized anxiety disorder, obsessive-compulsive disorder, panic disorder, posttraumatic stress disorder, social anxiety disorder, and phobias.
Use of selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors, or SSRIs, in the third trimester, however, has been associated with an increased risk for pulmonary hypertension in newborns, a rare disorder in which blood flow through the lungs is restricted But some studies indicate that this risk is still less than 1% if a mother uses SSRIs during the third trimester.
Taking SSRIs may pose an increased risk of birth defects. The FDA regularly issues warnings to alert women of potential and new risks.
One consequence of SSRI use during the third trimester of pregnancy, which has been confirmed in many studies, is a neonatal syndrome that may include irritability, poor feeding, sleep disturbance, and other symptoms. This syndrome usually lasts only a few days to a week.
Still, women should not assume it is safe to stop taking their anxiety or depression medication as soon as they find out they're pregnant; doing so can lead to a relapse of symptoms, which may do greater harm to the child (and mother) than taking medication.
And more pregnant women are taking medication: The rate of antidepressant use at some point during pregnancy more than doubled between 1999 and 2003, to as many as 1 in 8.
Learn more about medication and treatment options, and always talk to your doctor about your concerns.
Long-term effects
The research is not complete in this area. One study found preschool-aged children whose mothers took medications while pregnant had similar IQs and language and behavior skills as children whose mothers did not take medication.
The American Psychiatric Association and the American College of Obstetricians and Gynecologists recommend the following:
- Women who plan to start a family and have mild depressive symptoms for six months or longer may be able to taper off medication. This may not be appropriate for women with a history of severe anxiety or depression, or who have bipolar disorder or a history of suicide attempts.
- Women who are pregnant, psychiatrically stable, and prefer to continue taking their medication may be able to do so after consulting with their therapist and OB-GYN.
- Women who are pregnant and have severe depression or anxiety should remain on medication, as they are at high risk for relapse.
In addition, women who are pregnant may benefit from therapy to replace or supplement medication. Therapy and other behavioral treatments can be effective in treating anxiety disorders and depression – before, during, and after pregnancy.
As always, talk to your doctor before beginning or changing your treatment plan. An individualized approach to treating anxiety disorders and depression during pregnancy is usually best.

Middle School Education
Director Melissa Cole
Salem-Keizer Public Schools has 11 traditional middle schools and two charter middle schools educating approximately 9,300 students. Our district vision is to prepare each and every student for high school graduation and beyond. The middle school mission supports this vision, by focusing on preparing students academically, emotionally and socially, so that they may succeed in high school.
The beliefs and values that drive our decisions include:
Each of our 11 traditional middle schools is focused on improving student achievement through instructional practices outlined in our district Strategic Plan, which is directly tied to each school's comprehensive school improvement plan. With a clear roadmap in place to support student learning, we are able to be strategic in how we support student learning.
In 2013-2014 middle schools across Salem-Keizer Public Schools will be implementing Common Core State Standards across all content areas. These college and career standards will ramp up the level of rigor in all classes, promote critical thinking and problem-solving and establish literacy as a focus in every classroom. Best practices for differentiation, including supports for our English language learners and special education students will continue to be emphasized.
All 11 of our traditional middle schools offer AVID (Advancement Via Individual Determination), which is designed to support college readiness. AVID's teaching strategies are used not only in the AVID elective class, but by subject area teachers schoolwide. Some AVID strategies include, Cornell Notes, Socratic seminar, Philosophical Chairs and interactive notebooks. Students benefit from instructional strategies that encourage critical thinking.
Energy and excitement can be felt in every Salem-Keizer middle school! For more information about specific schools, you can visit the school websites.

This was a difficult result to stomach, writes David Whitney.
All the talk in the ground before kick off and in the press in the days leading up to the game was about this being Burnley's best chance to beat Rovers for a many a decade. From a quick glance of the teamsheet, it was easy to see why. While the Burnley team might not be brimming with quality at the minute, the team Rovers fielded must be the weakest seen in a derby game for 30 years or more.
After a quick change of ends, the game kicked off with the Clarets playing towards the packed away end. The early signs were promising with both sides showing plenty of attacking intent, even if genuine quality was for the most part missing.
Both Austin and Shackell has early half chances – Austin with an acrobatic volleyed effort.
The tense atmosphere was briefly punctured by the inevitable chicken on the pitch, with a steward comically trying to catch hold of it.
A good save from by Jake Kean led to one of Burnleys well established corner routines and it should have produced the games first goal, but of all people Austin lacked a bit of composure and fired well over when under little pressure.
Then, just when it seemed like yet another game where our dominance failed to realise a goal, Shackell put us ahead, bundling home the rebound after his initial header had hit the post.
By this point Rovers were firmly on the back foot and in truth we should have put the game to bed. A Ross Wallace free kick shaved the post and could have produced that second goal. As it was, the rest of the half played out with little significant drama and the half ended with the Clarets a goal to the good.
Rovers inevitably upped their game in the second half and Rhodes made his first significant contribution when he turned Shackell and he was allowed to get a shot away. Fortunately it sailed over the bar but by this point Rovers were starting to increase the pressure.
This pressure led to Ben Mee picking up his first yellow card for what seemed an innocuous enough incident. Sadly that wasn't to be his last card of the afternoon and he received a second yellow only minutes later for a late challenge.
All the while, Grant Hanley went about his nasty business almost with impunity. First a foul and subsequent attempt to throttle Martin Paterson was punished with only a yellow, then an arm to Kieron Trippier's face was entirely unpunished.
The writing seemed on the wall and a playing half an hour with ten men was a daunting prospect. Wallace was immediately sacrificed for Lafferty and we inevitably battened down the hatches.
As is so often the case when defending with ten men, our defending got deeper and deeper and we seemed to almost invite pressure. However, the defence remained disciplined and although Rovers were camped in our third of the pitch, Grant wasn't worked too hard.
As full time approached we managed to escape our penalty area with a little more regularity and survival seemed more possible.
Then as the clock ticked over to start the six minutes of injury time, our old foe David Dunn was named man of the match. He'd probably been the best of a poor looking Rovers team but there were inevitable groans from the away end. It was then perhaps inevitable that he was to apply one last heartbreaking role in the game, as if to justify the sponsor's decision.
As the clock ticked into the fifth minute of injury time and in what seemed like slow motion, the ball found its way across the box to Dunn who was lurking unmarked in a position that turned out to be two yards offside. He had the simple task of lashing the ball past a helpless Lee Grant. The home crowd celebrated as thought they'd won the Champions League and the away following were stunned into a numb silence.
This was as tough a result to stomach as I can ever remember. I've known 3-0 or 4-0 hammerings that I've handled better. There seemed to be a numb silence for several minutes that was only punctuated by the sound of plastic seats being ripped from the stand.
The wait goes on.
How did you handle that late blow? Will we ever beat them? Comment below.

The movie features never before seen cover songs, and intimate footage of the band backstage and in rehearsals. Filmed in October 2009 at the band's Festival 8, more than 40,000 devoted fans watched as Phish combined two of their most beloved traditions - the multi-day festival and the Halloween album "costume." The band's highly anticipated "musical costumes" are concerts involving the performance of an entire album by another artist-in this case, Phish covered the Rolling Stones' album Exile on Main St. Phish 3D also features songs from the band's first ever full-length acoustic set, as well as performances taken from the six additional sets.

International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research Critique 112: Relation of Alcohol Intake to Risk of Dying from Cancer
By International Scientific Forum on Alcohol Research | 23 May 2013
The latest critique from the ISFAR considers a study that looks at rates of death from cancer, related to alcohol consumption
There have been many papers relating alcohol intake to specific types of cancer. It is clear that heavy drinking is associated with an increase in the risk of most upper aero-digestive cancers (eg, cancer of the mouth, pharynx, larynx), and even moderate drinking has been associated with a slight increase in the risk of breast cancer. On the other hand, the risk of thyroid cancer, lymphoma, renal cancer, and certain other cancers has been shown to be lower among moderate drinkers than among abstainers.
There have been few studies describing the relation between varying levels of alcohol consumption and the total risk of cancer. The present paper presents a meta-analysis relating alcohol intake to all cancer mortality, with data on more than 48,000 cancer deaths reported in 18 prospective cohort studies.
Surprisingly, the analyses demonstrated a J-shaped curve for alcohol and cancer. Light drinkers showed a statistically significant 9% lower risk, moderate drinkers showed no effect, and heavier drinkers showed a 32% increased risk of all cancer mortality.
Forum reviewers had some concerns about the conclusions of the paper, based on some discrepancies in the text, the lack of data on drinking pattern, no beverage-specific results, or data on different types of cancer. Nevertheless, as expected, the reported average consumption of 50 or more grams of alcohol per day (equivalent to 4 or more typical drinks each day) was associated with an estimated 32% increased risk of dying from cancer.
However, there was no increase in the estimated risk of cancer death for subjects classified as "moderate" drinkers (defined by the authors using a wide range of intake: 12.6 to 49.9 grams/day, the equivalent of up to approximately 4 or more typical drinks). Further, Forum members were surprised that a slight but statistically significant decrease in cancer mortality risk was seen for "light" drinkers (those reporting an average of = 12.5 grams/day, or about one typical drink). Forum members appreciated that misclassification of cause of death or residual confounding could have contributed to this latter result.
It is especially important that the only significant increase in risk in cancer mortality among the almost 50,000 cancer deaths reported in this meta-analysis was for consumers of 50 grams or more of alcohol. This suggests strongly that the overall risk of cancer mortality related to alcohol consumption is primarily (perhaps almost exclusively) from heavier drinking. Certainly, the findings from this study do not support the premise that "any amount of alcohol increases the overall risk of dying from cancer."

I didn't use any vinegar and I simply used skewers instead of trying to skewer them with rosemary. I put the rosemary in the marinade instead. The sauce was delicious.
Absolutely love it. I'm making it again this weekend for Father's Day. Always loved lamb, but this sauce is amazing. I don't know if I'll ever have lamb without it again!
Much to my surprise, this recipe was easy to make. The combination of the fresh herbs and the yogurt sauce with the tender lamb meat was excellent. Using Rosemary sprigs as skewers was a great...

Man sentenced to up to 18 years in Wyoming slaying
Apr 13, 2012 - The Associated Press
CHEYENNE (AP) -- A South Carolina man will spend between 13 and 18 years in prison for the slaying of a carnival worker.
Thirty-one-year-old Bradley O. Petty was sentenced Thursday in Cheyenne on one count of voluntary manslaughter in the death of Jerry Moshier. He previously pleaded no contest under a deal with prosecutors.
Moshier worked for a carnival at Cheyenne Frontier Days and his body was found in a lake on Aug. 4, 2010. Authorities say Petty put Mosher in a chokehold until he became unconscious before putting him in the lake. Court documents say he also took $34 from Moshier's wallet.
District attorney Scott Homar said the only evidence prosecutors had was the testimony of a woman who was with them at the time.

Obese kids have other health problems, too
Childhood obesity is a growing problem in the United States, with the percentage of obese children increasing from 7 percent in 1980 to 18 percent in 2008, according the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). Being overweight at such a young age increases a child's future risk of heart disease, but new research shows it also may be linked to more immediate problems, such as asthma, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder and learning disabilities.
Obese children were twice as likely as normal-weight kids to have poor, fair or good health, versus very good or excellent. They were more likely than children of normal weight for their age to have activity restrictions or mental, developmental and physical health problems or be held back in school.
As parents, it's important to provide healthy meals at home that include plenty of fruits and vegetables daily. Promoting sports or other physical activity is an excellent way to keep your child active and can lower the risk of obesity.
