Andrew Salter
Andrew Salter (May 9, 1914 – October 6, 1996) was the founder of Conditioned Reflex Therapy, an early form of behaviour therapy which emphasized assertive and expressive behaviour as the way to combat the inhibitory personality traits which Salter believed were the underlying cause of most neuroses. In the 1940s, Salter introduced to American psychotherapy a Pavlovian model of hypnotherapy and self-hypnosis training.
Andrew Salter received a BA from NYU, and was "grand-fathered in" as a practicing (Manhattan at 1000 Park Avenue at East 84th Street) psychologist with only a BA. Salter spoke seven languages fluently[citation needed] . He first made his mark clearing out the alcoholic's ward at New York's Bellevue Hospital by treating patients with hypnosis and teaching them self-hypnosis (autosuggestion).[citation needed]
Criticism of Psychoanalysis[edit]
Salter was the first nationally recognized opponent of psychoanalysis. He was a dedicated critic of Freud. His book "The Case Against Psychoanalysis" was so controversial that the New York Times gave it two reviews, one extremely positive and one extremely negative.
Salter proclaimed in this post-war tome, "psychoanalysis has outlived its usefulness." Salter chucked psychoanalysis and replaced it with Pavlovian conditioning under hypnosis. In the conditioned reflex, he has seen the essence of hypnosis. He gave a rebirth to hypnotism by combining it with classical conditioning.
Andrew Salter was and remains the most passionate opponent of Classical Freudian Psychoanalysis and believed that A. A. Brill (who was Sigmund Freud's official English translator) had "homogenized" Freud's work and deliberately omitted passages which Brill considered to be too radical, conflicting or bizarre. Salter spent three years studying everything Freud and his contemporaries had written, including correspondence with Carl Jung and Anna Freud, mostly in the original German before writing his "autopsy" of Psychoanalysis, "The Case Against Psychoanalysis" which today remains the best work ever written critiquing Freud's theories. Today's academic texts "soft pedal" many of Freud's theories, making Psychoanalysis more "palatable" due largely in part to Salter's works and those who came after him.
Salter also brought attention to the fact that Pavlovian Psychology was a lot more than simple Classical Conditioning, citing the work done in Pavlov's Russian laboratory for over a quarter of a century. Salter is considered by many to be the "father of behavior therapy". Salter is certainly one of the first psychotherapists who adapted and applied learning theories to clinical practice.
Salter believed in releasing personal "inhibitions" by practicing techniques leading to what he called "excitation" which results in "disinhibition", a state which he described as akin to being slightly drunk. Chapter 8 in "Conditioned Reflex Therapy" contains all of the "exercises" (like the deliberate use of the word "I") leading to a state of excitation. Today, excitation, a term from the Pavlovian lexicon, might be referred to as a combination of "assertion" and "disinhibition". Salter, as did other "behaviorists" of the time, also had his patients learn & practice Edmund Jacobson's technique of "progressive relaxation".
Salter's hypnotic and relaxation techniques were first explained in his book, "What Is Hypnosis?" which was proclaimed a work of genius by Theodore X. Barber, a physiologist who researched hypnotic induction (Barber and Calverley) during the post World War II era.
Salter is often considered to be the founder of assertiveness training, although he did not use the term himself. His book Conditioned Reflex Therapy (1949) describes many case studies in which he used primitive assertiveness techniques, termed "excitatory exercises", which became the basis of subsequent behavior therapy for assertiveness.
Salter's techniques were revived among college students during the early and mid-1970s at Bernard M. Baruch College (City University of New York) by Richard Rodriguez, a student leader and newspaper Editor-in-Chief of "The (Baruch College) Ticker". Rodriguez was introduced to Salter's work by ex-Marine and fellow student, Brian Guerre. After corresponding with Salter, Rodriguez held training sessions on campus in the office of his "Health Sciences Society" organization which he founded in 1972. Over a two-year period, Rodriguez trained over two hundred students in progressive relaxation and autosuggestion, which improved the students' ability to study and perform better on exams. Mr. Rodriguez's motto was "relax to your purpose". Rodriguez has also advanced the theory that all human conflict is based on each individual's (or group's) unfulfilled (long-term/lifelong) expectations, which may be modified to a limited extent, through Salter's techniques of personality reconstruction.
In a 2008 phone interview, Rodriguez remarked: "Although we now know much more about the workings and chemistry of the brain than was known 65 years ago, Salter's techniques remain extremely effective and life altering. His works remained in print for over 25 years and have been translated in over a dozen languages and his books have earned numerous accolades. Proponents of Behavior Modification, Assertiveness Training, Auto-relaxation, Progressive (Systematic) Desensitization & Psychoprophylaxis have all used principles and applications proposed, developed or applied by Salter, whether or not they acknowledge that reality."
The Salter family has recently promoted the re-publication of "Conditioned Reflex Therapy" which was Salter's most influential work.
Obituary: New York Times
Andrew Salter, Behavior Therapist, 82, Dies
By Karen Freeman (Published: October 9, 1996)
Andrew Salter, a psychologist who helped develop the theoretical underpinnings and clinical applications of behavior therapy decades before the field became popular, died on Monday at his home in Manhattan. He was 82.
The cause was cancer, said Dr. William J. Salter, his son.
Mr. Salter, recognized as a founder of behavior therapy, was one of the first to take the findings from experimental psychology on things like conditioned reflexes and apply those principles to solving people's problems. He rejected psychoanalysis, with its years of probing into the roots of neuroses, arguing in the 1940s that a psychologist could help people who were overly anxious, shy or depressed much more quickly by teaching them to change their behavior.
Dr. Gerald C. Davison, a psychology professor at the University of Southern California, wrote that Mr. Salter had been so far ahead of the behaviorist wave of the 1960s that many younger behavioral psychologists were unaware of his work.
He said Mr. Salter's ideas have become so widely accepted that he is often not formally cited when contemporary writers in behavior therapy refer to assertion training, expressiveness training, 'getting in touch with one's feelings,' all early ideas of Mr. Salter's that became popular later.
Dr. Davison made those comments in recommending that the Association for Advancement of Behavior Therapy present Mr. Salter with its lifetime achievement award, which it will do posthumously, on Nov. 23. He is the second psychologist to win the award.
Mr. Salter took an unconventional path to an unusual career. Born in Waterbury, Conn., he graduated from New York University in 1937 with a bachelor's degree in psychology and a burning interest in research, but no patience for postgraduate work. I had no desire to spend the rest of my life studying the reactions of rats lost in labyrinths, he once said.
He plunged into research and clinical practice, which was possible with a bachelor's degree at the time, and was allowed to continue to practice when the state later set more rigid licensing standards. He continued his practice until a few months ago.
Hypnosis had captured Mr. Salter's interest in college, and he looked for ways to use it in clinical practice. He developed techniques for self-hypnosis but initially found it hard to publish his work because he did not have the necessary academic credentials. A psychologist at Yale University, Dr. Clark Leonard Hull, helped him publish an article in The Journal of General Psychology in 1941. He came to national attention that year when Life magazine publicized his ideas about short-term psychotherapy. In 1944, he published his first book, What Is Hypnosis?
In 1949, Mr. Salter published Conditioned Reflex Therapy, which took many of the principles developed by those who did watch rats run mazes and used them to develop short-term therapies for neuroses. In an interview, Dr. Davison called it a landmark book in experimentally based psychotherapy.
The therapy Mr. Salter employed encouraged patients to express their emotions and used visual imagery to reduce anxiety. It also moved people past their fears by gradually getting them accustomed to being around the things they feared. [progressive or systematic desensitization]
In 1952, Mr. Salter published The Case Against Psychoanalysis, in which he looked at the scientific basis for that field and pronounced it weak. The book generated much controversy, said Dr. Alan E. Kazdin, a psychology professor at Yale, particularly because Mr. Salter used such vivid language to wield his literary club. One of his phrases was that trying to pin down psychoanalysis was like nailing lemon meringue to a wall, Dr. Kazdin said. But what made him special was that he didn't just criticize. He came up with an alternative, applied it and helped develop a whole movement.
Besides his son William, of Harvard, Mass., Mr. Salter is survived by his wife, Rhoda; another son, Robert, of Tarrytown, N.Y.; a sister, Bertha Seigel of Montgomery County, Md., and three grandchildren.
[Obituary Submitted by Richard Rodriguez (July 23, 2008), with gratitude, admiration and respect]
In the media[edit]
In the original Frank Sinatra film The Manchurian Candidate the Chinese cite Salter's work as their inspiration to brainwash the soldiers.
Conditioned Reflex Therapy was part of a list of books owned by Marilyn Monroe, auctioned at Christies-NY, October 28–29, 1999.

Register now for our GamesBeat 2015 event, Oct. 12-Oct.13, where we'll explore strategies in the new world of gaming. Titanfall's first round of downloadable content (DLC) will cost $10, but it won't include any new types of matches. Vince Zampella, the cofounder and chief executive of Respawn Entertainment, unofficially confirmed this information on his Twitter account yesterday. Titanfall is a multiplayer-only first-person sci-fi shooter, and it's one of 2014's most hyped video games. Here is what Zampella said: @YaBoyZD3 Modes we release will be free to all, not part of DLC. — Vince Zampella (@VinceZampella) March 25, 2014 Titanfall is currently Microsoft's biggest chip in this generation's console war, since it's exclusive to Microsoft's Xbox One, Xbox 360 (version delayed until April 8 in U.S. and April 11 in Europe), and PC. A lot is riding on whether the blockbuster title hits its sales targets. The studio hasn't yet provided a release date for the upcoming $10 expansion. It is available as part of a "Season Pass," which gives buyers discounted access to all of the game's planned DLC, for $25.

actually CM has been very upfront and accesible..
if you actually read through the digital vibrance thread... CM initially stated he didn't think DV was more than a marketing gimmick but gradually through the thread he was more and more intrigued and eventually stated that he would look into the 'feature' and see what could be done.. no promises mind.. but he didnt just dismiss it as you point out chris... perhaps you would like to go through the whole thread again... just post it so people here can see exactly what you are talking about and what CM wrote as well
I completely disagree, And We "have" gone through the whole thread again, Catalyst Maker "had" been dismissing it. Catalyst maker "Had" led ATI users to believe that they're drivers were already capable of it.
Why do you think all the users completely and totally believe the fact that "ATI drivers were already capable of it"
Well. You guessed it. Catalyst maker told them they were, You are referring to a single thread when that was his attitude for the longest time.
There's a thread where I posted it. He tries to push of the issue by asking us "Do you know what it does?"
You are referring to this one thread, I am referring to MULTIPLE threads prior to that where CAT Maker has dismissed it as a marketing hack and already doable in drivers, Which very much explains why so many people have stated it's already doable in ATI drivers.
I mean if you don't know. You don't know. Terry only reacts when he's in the spotlight. Which he acted accordingly "We will look into it" In that thread
however nothing that I have read or seen the last serveral months appears to corroborate the character assisination you are putting forth chris... Terry may not be the nicest or most ethical guy in the world... but I have yet to see any evidence that supports your claims of a 2-faced liar/hypocrite...
Read my above post. Read Just further indication that he is BSing us along the way, I mean come on, When is a cigar a cigar? I don't trust him. You shouldn't trust him either. All he wants, And his company wants. Is for you to buy their products.
Understanding this "distinction" will make you alot more objective about things. Its no different than what Nvidia PR spokes people do. But It's a "lot" easier to filter out his "crap" as I would call it. By the simple fact he posts a lot.

When I say good paying I mean $11 dollars and more. I just started a new job doing warehouse work. Specifically an order puller. I HATE IT!! I have found out though hardship that manual labor is not for me. That's why I'm going to school right now as well.
I prefer having a desk job. Work in a nice air conditioned office and not in a hot warehouse, hearing dock doors, diesel trucks backing, pallet jacks and forklifts horns. Is there anything I can do to improve my job prospects or do I suck it up and keep working these stupid warehouse jobs. My personal opinion is that doing warehouse work is a dead end job. Sure you do get paid to work out but there isn't much growth with it.
If you can relate to my experience and now living a better quality of life. Please share on how you turned your life around. I just want to get out of the warehouse and production industry. But I feel that's all I'm qualified for until I finish school. I've got 4 years to finish school.

The China-only Chevrolet Cruze is a fine looking car. But it's not confirmed yet if the global version of the Cruze will be the same. Until then, adapting the China Cruze into a coupe is easy.
It's really hard to render an all-new version of an icon. For instance this Camaro, I tried to make it different from the current Camaro while still looking similar and identical. So most work went to lengthening the wheelbase while shorten the overall length. The roof is lowered slightly and curves are added. The front […]
It's sad that GM will stop building Holden in Australia from 2017 onwards. Future Commodore will probably come from China, in FWD and 4-cylinder engine forms. Quite an insult actually. Anyway I hope Holden builds the Monaro before their Australian plant shuts, and show the world what a stupid idea GM has.

Using repeating volcano-tectonic earthquakes to track post-eruptive activity in the conduit system at Redoubt Volcano, Alaska Helena Buurman et al., Alaska Volcano Observatory, Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 903 Koyukuk Drive, Fairbanks, Alaska 99775-7320, USA. Posted online 7 Feb. 2013; http://dx.doi.org/10.1130/G34089.1.
Redoubt Volcano erupted for 3 months in 2009, generating spectacular ash clouds and producing a large lava dome that remains in place today. Both this eruption and the last eruption in 1989 were preceded by bursts of earthquake activity -- known as earthquake swarms-- that provided scientists with early warning of the imminent eruption. When more earthquake swarms occurred around the vent in the year after the eruption, the alert levels were raised in anticipation of eruptive activity. No eruption occurred, however, so the earthquakes were dismissed as having occurred either within the cooling lava dome or in the summit glaciers rather than being generated by the volcano. H

You've all heard the claim that we aren't really atheists, we are just mad at god. (Or you will see such things as "so and so claims to be an atheist.")
Today, though I saw an argument in chat with a theist, and someone else's account of an argument they had out in public, and I stopped to wonder if maybe we aren't sometimes encouraging this line of bullshit, albeit unwittingly.
What happened in both cases was the atheist began recounting all the sorts of horrible things Yahweh is portrayed as doing or believing or commanding. In one case, I saw the atheist say "why should I love god when he won't love me back?"
The problem with this sort of thing is we usually don't take care to phrase our remarks to make it clear that god is a character of fiction. When discussing the misdeeds of Yahweh we tend to fall back on a convention we use when we talk about a fictional character in a book. We refer to him by name and talk as if the guy was real and the book was not fiction, for example, "In George Orwell's 1984, Winston Smith was arrested for thoughtcrime," not, "In George Orwell's 1984, the character Winston Smith..."
We know what we mean, because we both know Winston Smith (or god) is fictitious. But they don't know god is fictitious.
Talking this way with someone who believes the fictional character is real might cause him not to understand you are just following the convention. Your phrasing sounds to him like you accept god as real, he "knows" god is real, so he assumes at some level you think god is real.
What I am suggesting here is that you ever want to bring up how nasty this being is, you make it clear that you don't think he exists, make sure you put "fictitious" (or equivalent) in every other sentence at least, and not let them think for a minute that you assume the existence of god.
Yes I know that when you just said you were an atheist this shouldn't be necessary, but obviously many of these people don't understand atheism in their guts, so don't let their paradigm default you into a "believer but mad at god" box.

Most atheists I know arrived at their atheism on a slow trek to disbelief during which every step, especially large ones, out of the trap of "belief" was open to debate of varying intensity. Most of the debate is with one's self, with an occasional foray into open, perhaps acrimonious debate with believers attempting to keep that person in the fold as it were. Lurking along the path of one's personal walk to that ultimate decision or state/stage of belief/disbelief there are many one-bit decisions; do I believe what I just heard or saw; yes or no? Does what I'm hearing from believers agree with what I'm seeing with my own eyes; yes or no? Do any of the circular arguments and twisted rationalizations one hears from various religions or pulpits make sense; yes or no? Personally and clearly the vast preponderance, if not all, of those one-bit decisions registered in the negative.
On my own path from early life skepticism to young adult agnosticism, to midlife full-blown Atheism I experienced a great many internal mental debates that I kept entirely to myself. I made my own decisions about religious matters based on personal observations of reality. I suppose that's normal for any person whose primary objective in life is to cut one's own trail, and that defined me from earliest age to the present. So, yes, I am a full-on Atheist and feel neither desire nor intent to debate absurdities with any or all of mankind's various supernatural religious and other ridiculous paranormal pursuits. More to the point, I can't be convinced that any of the fifteen-thousand or so of man's gods have any reality outside of those minds that are infested with or perverted by the religion virus, much less converted thereto. Why debate?
I saw the appearance of an 'approach/avoidence' conflict in much of my thinking, along with watching how people and myself relate to each other.
Sadly, inspite of the beliefs to the contrary, I never saw 'god' when people talk about it. I only saw people 'talking' about 'god'. All the commentaries, buildings, writings etc, are artifacts of this 'talk'. While some of this productive work has been useful, I can't say the same thing about 'god' as a concept. If 'god' as a concept has been helpful with humans learning 'how to do abstract thought', maybe it has atleast served its purpose.
Well put, well put indeed, and I agree totally.
We all have little choice but to take the BS as it comes as all of us are protected under our First Amendment. It's funny though when I tell christians that the first ten words are America's protection from religion while only six protect the freedom of religion, and the practice thereof, i.e. my bride for the past 47-years.
I wonder at the willful idiocy religion forces on some people. . . . .
Sadly, given my recent experience with bible study, it is unclear if the learning 'how to do abstact thought' has actually done a very complete job of it. Many get stuck in the 'abstraction of god', but then do not excape by continuing to meta-perspectives about 'abstractions'. My girl, just got to love her, seems to have become stuck in this state of 'not' revisiting this abstraction, or is unable to allow herself this degree of personal freedom.
Two things did the most to commit me to atheism.
911 and Bush's response to it.
Learning how Scientology's able to brainwash some very intelligent (or at least highly talented) people.
I've run into some 7th Day Adventist who are just as brainwashed as Tom Cruise et al.
Highly 'talented people' can still be rather 2 dimensional in their understandings, or not able to issolate their intelligence from their emotions long enough to maintain perspective.
True enough, but their gods are all zero dimensional as all imaginary gods most certainly are.
If you see us hammering on Xianity more than anything else, it's because it's Xians who are in our faces all the time demanding that government schools teach their creation myth as fact and otherwise push their religion, demanding that government meetings begin with a prayer to their god, without regard to the fact that about 1/5 of the population doesn't profess to believe in it, and ostracising people who don't believe in that god.
Also it should be noted that atheist intellectuals who actually have the gravitas to get published in paper books like Dawkins and Hitchens, devote a fair amount of attention to other religions as well.
I think that another issue in being "mad at god" is when atheists not only assume others understand god as a fictional character in conversation, but we seek desperately to remove god from all things. We try to promote tolerance, but we must be careful to convey a lack of belief in god, instead of an opposition to god. As a former Christian, I remember it coming across that atheists are threatened by god when appearing so opposed to anything Christ-related. For example, the whole "merry Christmas" vs "happy holidays" scenario. Feel free to say whichever you prefer, but I see it as a futile, pointless battle to demand the usage of "happy holidays" from others. Atheism is about a lack of belief in god, rather than an opposition to the belief in god.
I've been guilty of not choosing my battles wisely, so I'm not intending to cause trouble. My intention is to expanding on the "believer but mad at god" idea and give something we all should be sensitive to. It is not that we believe but are against god, rather, we simply do not believe. And a lack of belief is a very tolerant perspective on religion.
During my most recent attempt to find some rough sense and place for community, I have joined the local Lutherian church. It has been interesting, but not very filling. My Girl friend likes/loves the church, and since I can hold my own during most conversations concerning 'god', I am not easily or fully 'put off'.
During our recent bible study, yes, sorry, forgive me, I find such conversations marginally enlightening, and if I do not frame myself as 'atheist', but as 'seeker' or 'philosopher', they tolerate me mostly ok.
Sadly this morning I heard from my girl friend that I was very close to her board limits, after I stated during last nights meeting, "I have started to look at the world and persons through the eyes of a 'lover' ." She thought that I was only looking for a 'lover', NOT!
Since my divorce(recently) I have been looking for ways to recover from my rather ugly disenchantment, by trying to reframe my attitudes to be more accepting and less critical of nuttyness. My girl friend and I spent much of our morning overcoming this misunderstanding, sadly her 'concrete' intelligence, VS my more 'abstract' sensibilities continue to create rather frosty moments, followed by rather minor insights. For her 'god' as an answer, for me 'god' is a question, and a badly formed one at that.
So can we have a good relationship between a theist & atheist, and a honorable respect for different metaphysical commitments? So far the jury seems stoned with laughter....
for me 'god' is a question, and a badly formed one at that.
Real scientists don't try to prove or disprove the existence of God or gods or anything else supernatural. My big question comes down to trying to understand why different people believe in so many different supernatural beings and/or phenomena.

Not worth the price
This broke within a few months, the handle is mounted to the frame with a flimsy rivet - not a a screw. Fell apart :(Read More
Not very sturdy!!!!!
I was under the impression that this item was very sturdy and would last.... Boy was I wrong. After about 6months the rivets on the sides started to wobble and get very loose. Then the steel warped and came out of the slide. Unfixable!!!! For the money, I expected a lot more.Read More

cheap made & cost more
This is the same can crusher we had already bought locally and it broke in 1 month so I figured with this one being more expensive that it was quality made and when we got it, it's the same exact one. Watch the pictures. I have found that some things I've ordered, Im getting a smaller version & other colors on products. It's like these vendors think we're stupid and forget what we ordered by the time we recieve it. Kind of a determent to drive us back to the stores locally where we can see and know what we're buying & getting.Read More

Sneak & peek warrants allow police to secretly enter homes without notice
policestateusa.com / Site Staff / June 27, 2014
A little-known police tactic allows cops to covertly enter private residences, perform searches, seize property, and then leave quietly without notifying the homeowner. These searches, affectionately known as sneak and peek warrants, have been performed at a rapidly rising rate since 9/11.
Covert Tactics
Sneak and Peek warrants in actuality a more extreme version of the over-used no-knock raids that we cover so often. After seeking out a judges authorization, police are allowed to secretly break into private property without first announcing themselves or presenting the subject of the search with a signed warrant. Using this variety of warrant, officers intentionally wait until the subject is not present. The operations are performed covertly, and with the intention of masking the fact that any police activity took place.
The entire premise encourages government agents to adopt the tactics of criminals in order to gain access to property: breaking and entering, sneaking around, stealing, and risking a surprise confrontation with an unsuspecting civilian.
Black Blade: So you see some suspicious charater or characters breaking into your home while your brother-in-law drives to the store in your car and you lay in wait and drop the perps in their tracks. As they lie there and with their last gasping breaths say that they are cops and it's confirmed as you rifle through their pockets to determine who and what they are - Under "Castle Doctrine" you should be completely and utterly absolved of all culpability correct?

Dr. Hunter S. Thompson
The Rum Diary
Yeah, Bye.
Jones has no ko power but will be harder for Cormier to hit, unless Jones is dumb enough to actually engage in a wrestling match and clinch with Cormier.
If Cormier can grab a hold of him, the match will be interesting. Cormier is not an outstanding striker so I don't think he will land much besides from a scramble or the clinch in regards to the stand up.
It is not the first time that Jones is avoiding somebody. What he wants the most is to fight someone that is much easier for him (like Hendo), and Gustafsson fighting Cormier.
Not only brazilians can do this stuff
Cain Velasquez: Fellow UFC champ Jon Jones 'has a lot of work to do' at 205
"He has a lot of work to do in his division right now," Velasquez told MMAjunkie. "He had Glover (Teixeira), and now he has 'DC' and then he has (Alexander) Gustafsson also. I just think that's in the present moment right now because he has a lot of opponents coming up."
A Velasquez-Jones bout is arguably the biggest matchup the UFC could make between two active fighters, but it would only make sense if both champs continue their winning ways.
That's a double-edged sword for Velasquez. While Jones would be a lucrative opponent, both financially and in terms of notoriety, Velasquez hopes Cormier will bring an end to the champ's historic title reign.
"He's ready for this," Velasquez said of Cormier. "It's his time. Jon Jones has that long reach, which is going to make things difficult. He throws those kicks and a lot of punches. His elbows are tough as well, but I think Cormier just has what it takes to win."
Velasquez has proved willing to take on all-comers in his nearly eight-year career, and well before a fight with Jones ever becomes a reality, he must get past his next task, which comes in the form of No. 1 heavyweight contender Fabricio Werdum.
Werdum is scheduled to challenge for Velasquez's title this November at UFC 180 in Mexico City. Before then, though, the two future opponents coach against each other on "The Ultimate Fighter: Latin America," which is currently filming in Las Vegas.
Even though the show's production is still in the early stages, the 31-year-old Velasquez is enjoying the experience and has high hopes for his team of Mexican fighters who are looking to break through and into the UFC.
"It's been good," Velasquez said. "We've got a great group of guys and a good team going. Everyone has a great attitude, which I guess makes my job a lot easier that the guys are willing to put the work in and just to learn."
While Velasquez is excited to coach the show and fight in the UFC's long-awaited Mexico debut, questions remain about the condition of his surgically repaired shoulder. It's kept him out of action since his victory over Junior Dos Santos at UFC 166 this past October.
Velasquez insists his recovery is on track for the targeted fight date. And admittedly, he's pleased about his current coaching obligations on "TUF" because he can ease back into training in a less-stressful environment.
"I get to come back slowly as far as training and getting back in shape," Velasquez said. "I have (head coach) Javier Mendez here look after me training. I feel good. I don't want to push it too hard right now but slowly get back in it. I can do everything with the left hand again, which feels good. The thing is just getting back in shape right now."
And if you want beef, then bring the ruckus

- Watch an armless archer shoot a Cheez-It from 100 yards away. He's doing more impressive pointless shit than any of you entitled arm-havers ever have.
- Watch an armless driver drift a race car. Is this a theme? Possibly. Armless Fridays!
- This burger bun is French fries. And it will be replacing sliced bread in that "Best thing since…" saying.
- RIP B.B. King. Here are 10 facts you didn't know about him. Bet you didn't realize B.B. stood for "Big Beautiful."
- Here are the prices of weed in each state. Yeah, this is what Forbes magazine is doing now.
- This girl's graduation walk was more of a stumble. It took her longer to fall than it took her to graduate high school.
- Floyd Mayweather is a maniac who doesn't care for airplane safety. OVERTAKE HIM!
- Fridays are pretty great. Fridays with boobs are pretty greater.

Pumpkins. They're great for carving scary faces and decorating around the Thanksgiving table. But mostly I love to eat them. Pass me some pumpkin bread and a slice of pumpkin pie. Gimme the pumpkin lattes and the pumpkin cheesecake ice cream. That spicy sweet flavor just sums up the essence of autumn in a mouthful.
So pumpkin oatmeal raisin cookies? Well, that's just what happens when someone who loves pumpkin decides to make cookies in September. It was inevitable. And inevitably delicious.
These are pretty traditional oatmeal cookies with a twist of pumpkin and a dash of warming spices that bring to mind autumn leaves, harvest time and golden memories. And forget those fake scented candles. These cookies will make your kitchen smell divine.

Eastern Michigan (0-1) at Northwestern (1-0),
12:00 EST, Saturday, September 12, Big 10 Network
Why to watch: Northwestern's squishy-soft non-conference schedule continues after blasting Towson in a 47-14 win that wasn't even that close, and it needs to be fully tuned up for the one challenge before Big Ten play, a trip to Syracuse next week. Eastern Michigan was a major disappointment in Week One losing at home to Army 27-14, but Andy Schmitt and the offense have the potential to put up big numbers if the passing game gets going. The Eagles get Michigan next week, but they'll have their hands full with a Wildcat team that isn't getting any respect at the moment, but has the potential to come up with a big season thanks to an athletic, veteran defense and an offense that's just good enough to get by.
Why Eastern Michigan might win: The Eagles lead the nation in pass defense. Fine, so it's only the second week, and fine, Army only threw the ball five times, but at least it looks good on paper. Head coach Ron English knows the Big Ten, he's the former Michigan defensive coordinator, and he knows Northwestern a little bit. The Eagle offense didn't get into any sort of a rhythm last week, but the pieces are there to start throwing and keep throwing to put the pressure on a mediocre Wildcat secondary.
Why Northwestern might win: The Wildcats are trying to become more balanced on offense with QB Mike Kafka trying to prove he can become a decent passer, but if the attack wants to go with its strength, running Kafka, it should be able to roll. Army's option offense was able to shred the EMU linebacking corps, and if Kafka and the Northwestern backfield can start out controlling the game, then things will open up against a weak Eagle secondary that will give up the big play.
Who to watch: Northwestern should have a decent season mainly because of its defense and the expected steady play of Kafka, but there's a ceiling on the success unless some playmakers emerge on offense. Stephen Simmons is a limited back, but he's the team's best option at the moment needing 17 carries to gain 77 yards on the awful Towson defense. In the passing game, veteran Andrew Brewer was the gamebreaker with a 72-yard touchdown catch, and he'll have to keep stretching the field to make defenses respect anything Simmons and the ground game will try to do.
What will happen: The Eastern Michigan offense will wake up just enough to provide a push for three quarters, but Northwestern's defense will come up with two key turnovers late to seal the win.

Syracuse (0-1) at Penn State (1-0),12:00 EST, Big Ten Network, Saturday, September 12
Why to watch: Penn State and Syracuse, a pair of former Eastern rivals headed in opposite directions, renew acquaintances in Happy Valley. The Nittany Lions were as sharp as they needed to be in the opener versus Akron, jumping out to a 31-0 halftime lead before coasting and emptying the bench in the final 30 minutes. No. 9 Penn State has two more weekends to address concerns, mainly on the offensive line and in the secondary, before the conference schedule kicks off in earnest. The Orange darn near bagged a Big Ten upset last weekend before bowing to Minnesota, 23-20, in overtime. Still, with Greg Paulus at quarterback and Doug Marrone on the sidelines for the first time, the program showed more fight and determination than in recent years. If Syracuse wants to energize a sleepy base, hanging with Penn State on the road would be a nice place to start.
Why Syracuse might win: Unlike a year ago, when the Orange got throttled 55-13, this edition is not going to crumble at the sight of Beaver Stadium. Remember, Paulus played in a ton of big games as the Duke point guard, and many holdovers return from the team that went on the road to shock Notre Dame last November. The rebuilt Penn State offensive line will have more problems than a week ago, trying to contain NT Arthur Jones and LB Ryan Gillum.
Why Penn State might win: The Lion offense will roll at will in the face of a really bad Syracuse defense. Darryl Clark was sharp a week ago, throwing for 353 yards and three scores, and has started to build some chemistry with his new receivers. Derek Moye, Graham Zug, and Chaz Powell all made plays in the passing game, which bodes well for the entire offense. Toss in the running of Evan Royster and Stephon Green, and the Orange will be defenseless. On defense, Jared Odrick and the rest of the Penn State front seven will be no match for an average Syracuse front wall.
Who to watch: So far, so good on the return of Penn State LB Sean Lee from last year's devastating knee injury. The senior had seven tackles and a couple of tackles for loss, struggling to dial down his excitement for being back in action. He got unexpected help on Saturday from sophomore Nate Stupar, who stepped in for an injured Navorro Bowman and collected a team-high 12 tackles.
What will happen: Penn State took it easy on Akron last weekend. Don't expect similar generosity when Syracuse makes its way to State College. The Lions will begin to slowly build to a boil as the competition ratchets up, smoking the Orange for three quarters before calling on the reserves. Jeremy Boone punted twice last week. Clark and his mates on offense will make sure he doesn't exceed that number this Saturday. .

Western Michigan (0-1) at Indiana (1-0),
12:00 EST, Saturday, September 12, Big Ten Network
Why to watch: Indiana has to prove it's really not that bad. Last year, the Hoosiers not only lost to Ball State at home, but they also lost to Central Michigan from the MAC, and last week they had problems with Eastern Kentucky winning in a 19-13 struggle. Western Michigan's season started off with a thud, getting ripped through by a resurgent Michigan in a 31-7 loss, but the schedule eases up in a big way with Miami University next week followed up by a layup against Hofstra. While the WMU season will be made or broken by what happens in the MAC, beating Indiana could be the type of win that ends up securing an at-large bowl bid. It might just be IU, but beating a BCS conference team is always big for the MAC. On the other side, Indiana continues its Tour of the MAC with a game at Akron next week before facing Michigan.
Why Western Michigan might win: The IU secondary is awful. EKU was able to roll for 278 yards through the air last week even with a ton of pressure in the backfield from the IU defensive front. Kept under wraps last week, Tim Hiller and the WMU passing game are too good to be kept under wraps two games in a row and should be strong enough to roll for 300 yards without much of a problem. On the other side of the ball, IU's offense wasn't consistent last week and might not have the firepower to keep up if this is any sort of a shootout.
Why Indiana might win: The Bronco secondary got shredded last week. Michigan is supposed to be able to run the ball well, but Tate Forcier was efficient and effective through the air. Indiana might have sputtered offensively in the opener, but QB Ben Chappell threw well cranking out 328 yards. Hitting the 300-yard mark might not be a problem if the Hoosier offensive line can give Chappell enough time to work. That might not be a problem considering WMU didn't generate any sort of a pass rush last week.
Who to watch: Running game, schmunning game. Indiana would like to have a ground attack to count on, but it hasn't had a consistent one in years. Demetrius McCray tried to provide some punch last week gaining 49 yards, but he only averaged 3.8 yards per carry. No, it'll be the passing game that carries the Hoosiers, and a few key playmakers emerged in the receiving corps last week. Tandon Doss was the main target with eight catches for 125 yards, while Damarlo Belcher and Terrance Turner combined for 11 grabs. Chappell has to keep spreading the ball around, and his receivers have to keep making things happen when they get it.
What will happen: Shootout. Hiller and Chappell will each bomb away for over 300 yards, but the Western Michigan offense will be a little more efficient and effective, down the stretch. It should be a fun, entertaining game with plenty of fireworks.

Central Michigan (0-1) at Michigan State (1-0),
12:00 EST, Saturday, September 12, ESPN2
Why to watch: Will the real Central Michigan show up? Expected to not only be the star of the MAC, CMU was supposed to be dangerous enough to provide major problems for teams like Michigan State and Arizona. That didn't go so well last week as the Chippewas were stuffed by the Wildcats gaining a mere 182 yards in an ugly 19-6 loss. Things don't get much easier against a Michigan State team that had a nice tune-up last week ripping through Montana State in an easy 44-3 win. The Spartans can't help but look ahead to the next few weeks with road games at Notre Dame and Wisconsin, followed up by the rivalry date with Michigan, but they have to avoid getting tagged by a CMU team that should be far, far better than it showed last week.
Why Central Michigan might win: Dan LeFevour. The CMU receiving corps is loaded with enough weapons to spread out the Spartans and keep the chains moving, but LeFevour has to play like the NFL-caliber star who has led the offense at such a high level over the last three years. Not only did he only throw for 108 yards last week against the Wildcats, he also ran for a mere 18 yards and a score. He's too experienced and too talented to not be the best offensive player on the field, and if he can find his groove again, he could keep MSU on its heels for a full sixty minutes.
Why Michigan State might win: MSU should be able to do whatever it wants to offensively. CMU, as good as it has been over the last few years, hasn't done much of anything on defense, and this year doesn't appear to be any different. Arizona isn't expected to light up the scoreboard this year, but it was able to move the ball at will last week. MSU will try to bomb away to put an end to the fun right away, but it should be able to run, too. At least that's the hope with a decent ground game needed for the big games coming up over the next several weeks. That's why it'll be vital for …
Who to watch: … the Spartans to get a little more pop from all the backs. QBs Keith Nichol and Kirk Cousins combined to throw for 318 yards and five touchdowns against Montana State, but the backs, other than Caulton Ray, struggled to make things happen. Larry Caper and Edwin Baker were fine, but they didn't get too much room to move, while Andre Anderson and A.J. Jimmerson didn't do a thing. Ray was the most effective option, running for 71 yards on 12 carries, but it's going to continue to be running-back-by-committee. Now the ground game has to be even more effective.
What will happen: It'll be a second-straight nightmare for Central Michigan. Greg Jones and the MSU defensive front will keep LeFevour from running, while the secondary is good enough to keep the dynamic Chippewa playmakers under wraps. MSU will come up with a balanced effort and will get yet another great game from the quarterbacks.

Fresno State (1-0) at Wisconsin (1-0),
12:00 EST, Saturday, September 12, ESPN
Why to watch: When these two lined up early last year, it was expected to be one of the special under-the-radar games of first part of the season. Fresno State was supposed to be loaded and ready to live up to all the Pat Hill bluster, while Wisconsin had been just on the outside of the BCS and was looking for a big road win to kick off a run to a possible Big Ten title. While the Badgers won a very hard-fought, very entertaining 13-10 game, it was the beginning of the end as the collapse against Michigan came the following week and the wheels fell off from there. Fresno State was equally disappointing in a 7-5 season, but now the two teams appear to have found their mojo. Wisconsin beat Northern Illinois 28-20, and had to hang on late after taking the foot off the gas, but was fantastic for 50 minutes, playing better than it had at any time in the 2008 season. Fresno State played UC Davis, which was supposed to be an easy win, and it was nearly perfect on both sides of the ball showing off the speed and depth that could make this the season that Bulldog fans have been waiting for. Like last year, this will be a better test for Wisconsin than it might seem on a national scale, while Fresno State always likes to make big things happen in BCS team's houses.
Why Fresno State might win: Wisconsin only gave up 100 rushing yards last week, but struggled late once the super-quick Meco Brown took over. Brown ran 11 times for 64 yards and sparked the comeback attempt, and Chad Spann closed out the drives with two short scores. The Fresno State running game is better. Far, far better, and it should be able to control the game for stretches against a Badger defense that vows to be better than it was last year, but still has to show it can play a full sixty minutes. Ryan Mathews could have a tremendous game and could have a few big runs that could change the game.
Why Wisconsin might win: Is the Fresno State run defense any better? It was abysmal throughout last season getting destroyed for 210 yards per game, and that includes games against New Mexico State (-9 yards) and San Jose State (-5 yards). The Bulldogs only gave up 43 yards to UC Davis, but Wisconsin isn't UC Davis. The Badger ground game was held to just 154 yards in last year's win over the Bulldogs, but it should be able to pound away without much of a problem against a feisty, but mediocre Fresno State defensive front, and unlike past years …
Who to watch: … the Badgers have a passing game. It's impossible to understate just how terrific Scott Tolzien was against NIU compared to what the team had to deal with in 2008. The new UW starting quarterback threw two interceptions, but he completed 15-of-20 passes for 257 yards and a score while showing decisive zip on his passes and the willingness to step into his throws in the face of a rush. Also getting work was freshman Curt Phillips, who's considered the star of the future, completing 3-of-5 passes for 24 yards while adding a rushing element with 34 yards on four carries. Last year would've been far different if the Badgers had either one of them under center.
What will happen: Fresno State will bring a big bag of knuckles and a bad attitude, but Wisconsin appears to be back to being Wisconsin again. Even so, this should be a tight battle with the Badgers hanging on late with a soul-crushing drive to eat up the clock.

Canadian study also found those over 65 more likely to have heart trouble with drug
TUESDAY, Dec. 11 (HealthDay News) -- Older patients using the diabetes drug Avandia faced an increased risk of heart attack, heart failure and even death, new research shows.
According to the Canadian authors of the study, which is published in the Dec. 12 issue of the Journal of the American Medical Association, this is the first population-based look at the class of drugs to which Avandia belongs and the first report to find an increase in mortality rates.
"Our study looked at an older population in the real world who tend to be underrepresented in research trials and are at higher risk," said study author Dr. Lorraine L. Lipscombe, a researcher with the Institute for Clinical Evaluative Sciences in Toronto. "While the overall risk versus benefit is difficult to interpret in all people, in older people, the risks may outweigh the benefit."
"This is very striking data," added Dr. Steven Nissen, chairman of the department of cardiovascular medicine at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation. "This and other studies are going to put tremendous pressure on the FDA [U.S. Food and Drug Administration] to act more forcefully with regard to Avandia."
But the maker of Avandia (rosiglitazone), GlaxoSmithKline, took issue with the findings.
In a prepared statement, the company said the Canadian study "has significant limitations and generates misleading conclusions regarding acute myocardial infarction and death. These conclusions are inconsistent with a more robust body of evidence from large, long-term, prospective, well-designed clinical studies, including ADOPT and RECORD. These long-term trials in diabetic patients comparing rosiglitazone to other oral anti-diabetic medicines show no increased risk for cardiovascular events compared to other commonly used medications, other than the well-known risk of congestive hea

Haitian mother returning to her village after lifesaving operation by Daytona Beach doctors
Published: Friday, August 29, 2014 at 12:21 p.m.
Last Modified: Tuesday, September 2, 2014 at 12:38 p.m.
DAYTONA BEACH — Deline Louigene came to the United States with a tumor in her mouth so large she couldn't eat solid food. Without medical intervention, doctors say the 34-year-old Haitian mother of four would have died within a year because of the benign tumor's size. Now, after six months in the United States, she's returning to her mountain village.
"I feel very good because the way I came here is not the way I am going back," Louigene said in her native Creole through a translator.
Because she lacked access to medical care in Haiti, the tumor grew to the size of a softball. She covered the mass with a cloth and withdrew from her village. Eventually, only broths and liquids nourished her.
Missionaries found her while visiting her remote village. They tried to schedule the operation in Haiti, the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere, but they couldn't get a timely date for the procedure.
The missionaries, working with a small Haitian church in Belleview, arranged for Louigene to travel to Florida for medical care.
Doctors from Daytona Beach-based Florida Oral & Facial Surgical Associates agreed to perform the six-hour-long operation to remove the tumor at no cost. Two of the practice's physicians — Dr. Curtis Schalit and Dr. John Akers — are founders of the charity Operation Changing Lives, which performs about 50 to 70 free procedures a year based on need.
The April 15 operation to remove the tumor and reconstruct Louigene's jaw went successfully, and she recovered at the home of the Rev. Timothee Desulme.
The congregation at Christ for All Church watched Louigene's transformation. When she arrived, a fleshy ball protruded from her mouth. The pink tumor swallowed up her teeth, which stuck out of the mass at odd angles. She spoke in a muted whimper.
Just a month after the operation, she sang in church. She smiled. She laughed.
"We praise God because God gave the surgeons the ability to do an operation like that," said Chantale Jean, a church member who translated for Louigene.
This week, she traveled to Daytona Beach for her last medical appointment. She'll stay a few weeks in South Florida with a missionary and then fly back home to Haiti.
Before she leaves for Haiti, church members hope to set up a Facebook page so she can send updates of how her children and family are doing when she is able to access the Internet.
