I agree with Laura! A great tribute to a brother.
Thanks for your question, roadrunner.
I will clarify the story, but White had stopped alongside McNally to see if everything was Ok, and noticed McNally was unconscious. As White peered inside the car, McNally came to and went for the spray.
Good story, Ray.
Just curious, who was eating the ice cream cone and who was smoking?

Harrisburg Tornado Help- you can look at it if you click on the words "Harrisburg Tornado Help" in blue in the story.
I found this in an article from 1988.
- April 1979 - A spectacular chemical fire at Hampden Color and Chemical raged out of control for hours in Springfield's Gasoline Alley on Albany Street, sending clouds of smoke that could be seen as far south as Hartford and rocketing barrels into the air.
District Fire Chief Robert Fenn later received a commendation from the city for leading firefighters through flames to close valves to tanks containing acetone, wood alcohol, ethyl alcohol, tylolene, hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid.
The fire was the third major blaze in Gasoline Alley since 1971, and resulted in a decision by then Mayor Theodore E. Dimauro to establish an emergency response and evacuation plan to coordinate Fire and Police Departments with ambulance and rescue teams, Civil Defense and Red Cross and local hospitals. The plan is the foundation for rescue and evacuation coordination in the city today.
There are photos with the story now.
Appears so.
That information came from the police.
wurriedmom is correct; they are two separate items.

TEXAS CITY, TEX., April 16--A terrific chain of ship and waterfront explosions blasted hundreds of persons to death today and injured more than 1,000.
A report to the Houston Post said that residents were evacuating the city of 15,000 tonight because of a feared new explosion of a nitro-glycerine-loaded ship at the Texas City Docks.
William C. Barnard, Associated Press staff writer, described how scores of bodies are stacked on benches and tables in a mid-town garage and in a nearby high school gymnasium.
Dozens of embalmers are at work in the garage as people gather outside in silent expressionless groups.
Barnard said that a mile away black smoke from six roaring fires billows 5,000 feet into the air, drifting southward out over the gulf.
Mayor J. C. Trahan, who wears a purple heart for buzz bomb wounds received in Belgium, said "no buzz bomb could ever compare with what happened here today. It is such a terrific tragedy that the people have not been able to realize what happened."

I will not be back again, when it was next to 86th Street, it was worth stopping by, but now in the new location, it's not worth the effort. Service was always suspect and the prices were goofy high.

A friend said Pastrami Queen was really good. I had a hankering for good Jewish deli, so I got a pastrami on rye to go. $11.40 with tax. It was good, tasty, fresh. But not a huge sandwich like you get at the better known delis and kinda pricey considering it was an average size portion. As I said, it was good but not up to the quality of the Second Avenue Deli, easily the best Jewish deli in New York. And I find it hard to believe this place is Kosher, even though they claim to be. The atmosphere was unkempt and the joint was surprisingly empty at 7:00 p.m. on a weekday night.
Posted by Anonymous on 09/20/2005
Like the title says....try the brisket. They make the most tender, melt in your mouth brisket I've ever had. If you like pastrami too, you can order a deli plate with the two meats and share with a friend. Then you can make your own sandwiches or eat it without bread. I prefer the no bread way because I can savor the delicious meat. Godd service and friendly people. If you like fries, tey have huge hand cut potatos. I usually ask for gravy so I can put them on the meat and fries.
Posted by Orthodox Girl on 09/15/2005
This restaurant is not considered kosher by any Orthodox Rabbi. They use Hebrew National meats which are questionable and are not even produced for Jews. Do not be mistaken and think you are eating kosher at this restaurant simply because they claim they are kosher and have a "kosher sounding" menu. It is not 100% treif but if you are orthodox and keep kosher and shabbat...this is not the place for you.
Posted by eddie on 05/30/2005
I'm from london and really love eating pastrami sandwiches which is common in nyc, however this restaurant had to be the best. I liked it so much that I went for lunch and dinner three times. The food is a really good value for money, guranteed to make you leave smiling.
Posted by Anonymous on 05/03/2005
If your craving pastrami come here. Great sandwiches and great french fries. Service isn't too great, it takes them a while to come to your table, fill up your water and refill ur pickes and coleslaw. Also the atmosphere isn't anything to write home about, but the reason you're coming here is for the food.
Posted by Patsy on 04/27/2005
I've never left here hungry I can tell you that. I actually always go with a buddy so we can split something. I have yet to be able to finish one of their sandwiches.

Chelsea James
We've had paintings by University of Utah grad Chelsea B. James bookmarked for a while now. We're partial to her still life works, with their soft color pallettes and feminine subject matter, though her landscapes are the kind we'd love to decorate our walls with, too. In her artist statement, Chelsea says, "I am intrigued by subtle shifts in value and color, yet seek a personal interpretation of the objects rather than a replication." We're also big fans of the titles of her paintings, like one depicting a pair of yellow pumps and a glazed donut called "Going Out For Dessert."
You can visit Chelsea's website or blog to see more. She's in the process of relocating back to Salt Lake City, so we hope to see more of her work at local gallery shows throughout the year. She's already scheduled for one group show at the Pickett Fairbanks Gallery (aka Magpies Nest) in the Avenues in Salt Lake City in May.
Welcome back, Chelsea!

Walking together, a beautiful empty road.
Now three steps behind.
Face turned away, still feeling a sight.
Avoiding a stare, a hidden truth.
Air is ever changing, but stays the same.
Ahead, releasing a frigid breeze against a warm flushed cheek.
A boundless touch, causing a jagged heart to bleed.
An open wound, only a kiss can cure.
An open palm reaching for a closed fist.
Internally elegant, flirting with my imagination.
Discarding my scarlet glasses, revealing a beautiful tear streaked face.
Clear skies arise, a butterfly drifts by.
He smiles, and walks away.
I am three steps behind.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 5, 2011 The U.S. Navy will employ a biofuel blend to power aircraft and vessels participating in a maritime exercise that's slated to be conducted near Hawaii next summer, senior officials told reporters today.
Navy Secretary Ray Mabus and U.S. Department of Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack held a conference call with reporters this morning to discuss a contract the Defense Logistics Agency announced last week for 450,000 gallons of biofuel that will power a Navy carrier group during a maritime exercise next summer.
The contract is the largest government purchase of biofuel in history, and provides $12 million to Dynamic Fuels LLC. Dynamic is a joint venture between Tyson Foods, Inc. and Syntroleum Corporation. Solazyme, Inc., a renewable oil and bioproducts company, will help Dynamic Fuels fulfill the contract.
Solazyme's biofuel is algae-based, Mabus explained, while Dynamic's is made from used cooking oil and non-food-grade animal fats.
So-called drop-in fuels can work without engine modifications, and Mabus noted the Navy has already certified that its ship and aircraft engines will perform on the new fuels.
He said the fuel "met all our criteria -- that it be a drop-in biofuel, that come from nonfood sources, and that it not increase the carbon footprint."
The fuels will be combined in a 50-50 blend with petroleum-based diesel and aviation fuel to power the U.S. ships and aircraft taking part in the Rim of the Pacific or RIMPAC exercise, the world's largest international maritime exercise, scheduled to take place off Hawaii next summer, the Navy secretary added.
The carrier that anchors the strike group is nuclear-powered, Mabus noted, but other Navy craft involved in the exercise will use biofuel.
"We think that this represents a major step in energy independence for the United States in making the United States Navy a better war-fighting operation," Mabus said, "and in reducing our dependence on unstable sources of foreign energy, as well as reducing the budget shocks that come with buying fuel from either potentially or actually unstable place on earth."
Use of fossil fuels "is a very real threat to our national security, and to the U.S. Navy's ability to protect America and to project power overseas," Mabus added.
While the DLA purchase is a small fraction of the Navy's annual fuel consumption of 1.26 billion gallons, supporting the nation's fledgling biofuel industry will ultimately make the Navy "better war fighters," the Navy secretary said.
The Navy plans to follow the RIMPAC demonstration with a 2016 multi-month carrier group deployment using 50 percent biofuel for surface ships and aircraft, Mabus said.
The Navy has throughout history led new developments in fuel, he noted: from sail to coal in the 1800s, from coal to oil in the early 1900s to nuclear power in the 1950s.
"We're going to lead once again by helping establish a market for biofuels now," Mabus said.
Biofuel use lessens America's dependence on foreign oil and fossil fuels, he said, and increases the nation's ability to compete in the global energy market.
"This is not only going to help the Navy … [and] our national security, but it's going to help the farmers and agriculture in the United States," Mabus said.
Vilsack said the biofuel purchase is a turning point in the partnership that includes the U.S. Department of Transportation, the Navy and the Energy Department under President Barack Obama's "Blueprint for a Secure Energy Future," which tasked the three to advance a domestic industry capable of producing "drop-in" biofuel substitutes for diesel and jet fuel.
More than 300 facilities in the United States are now producing ethanol and biodiesel, he noted.
Agriculture officials have this year helped finance loans for two refineries that will produce biofuel from nonfood feed stocks, Vilsack said, and they expect to announce additional projects next year.
Vilsack noted that Agricultural Research Service and National Forest Service scientists have been working with industry to identify and develop additional nonfood, "feed stocks" for biofuels, and the Forest Service announced $118 million in grants for feedstock development.
Agriculture Department officials are also researching supply chain management to ensure biofuel products can efficiently reach the Navy market and other emerging markets, including the nation's commercial air carriers, he added.
"Today's announcement, I think, underscores the fact that the future for the Navy … [and] this country lies in energy security, and basically controlling our own destiny by producing our own fuels in a creative and innovative way," Vilsack said.

With regards to Patrick's concern about cost, while valid, it should be remembered that advancing technologies and economies of scale will bring those costs down substantially if pursued. The cost of crude oil dropped to nearly 1/10th of its early costs due to advancements in techology and mass production. See

A very interesting article that somehow 'forgot' to mention the cost of this demonstration project. Another article I read on this topic reported these biofuels are going to cost us $ 16.00 a gallon for this demonstration.
If this is true, what on earth are Mabeus and Vilsak thinking!!!
There is a recession in the US and we are way overspent in our federal budgets. The old rule about 'when you find yourself in a hole, you should stop digging' is being ignored.
The Navy, indeed all the military services are facing draconian financial cutbacks, and yet at this time of economic crisis the leadership decides to spend money we don't have on a project we don't need.
Did anyone see another story that says the US is a net EXPORTER of petroleum fuels this year, and will be for the forseeable future?

With drawn pistols, they rushed into my room and the work of pillage began jewelry, firearms, and specie (coin money) seemed their principal desire but other things such as flannel shirts, shoes, wine, coffee, tea, loaf, and sugar were not despised, wrote Clarissa Adger Bowen about the pillaging of her family plantation in May of 1865.
While her husband was held at gunpoint against an old oak tree behind the main house, members of Stonemans Raiders ransacked the property in the final days of the Confederacy. Her home, Ashtabula, was only one of a number of plantations in the Pendleton District of South Carolina visited by the cavalry corps led by General George Stoneman. Under orders of General William T. Sherman, Stoneman was in pursuit of President Jefferson Davis, who had fled south after the fall of Richmond. If they were not able to find Davis and the Confederate Treasury, Stonemans men were more than happy to make up for that disappointment with any valuables that they could carry with them.
Ironically, Clarissa Bowen and members of other branches of the wealthy Adger family had earlier fled their Charleston mansions (the famous Sword Gate house in that city was an Adger property) to escape some of the deprivations of the war, but the armed conflict followed them upstate to their summer residences.
In anticipation that Union raiders might find their way to Ashtabula, Clarissa Adger Bowen hid her silverware on top of a highboy in the dining room, buried a small walnut chest of valuables behind the annex and stuffed her wedding ring in her hair. All of these items escaped the notice of the invaders, who ransacked the house twice on the same day.
In fact, the walnut chest, much of the silverware and the highboy that served as a temporary hiding place can all be seen today by visitors to Ashtabula, one of two plantation homes maintained as house museums by the Pendleton Historic Foundation.
Located approximately 120 miles north of Aiken, Ashtabula and Woodburn, which was owned by Clarissas uncle, Joseph Adger, are two of the 18 plantations built in the early 19th century around the small town of Pendleton. During that period, the area became known as a center for experimental agriculture. In fact, the Charleston families that bought upstate property, in part, to escape the oppressive heat of the coastal plain created the Pendleton Farmers Society in 1815; this group is one of the oldest agricultural associations in America.
Todays visitor to Ashtabula will find two houses on ten acres of land. The original brick building, constructed in 1790, eventually served as a kitchen and servants quarters for the main house, built around 1857. The present configuration of the latter two-story, white-frame structure consists of four rooms upstairs over four downstairs with a 42-foot central hallway on each floor and one-story porches on three sides. Thanks to a number of donations from the descendants of the Adger and Bowen families, the house boasts many furnishings that date to the second half of the 19th century, when Ashtabula was the centerpiece of agricultural holdings comprising nearly 1,300 acres.
A few miles to the west of Ashtabula, Woodburn boasts a four-story clapboard house, built in 1830 by a member of the distinguished Pinckney family. Like Ashtabula, the building was conceived as a summer residence, but during the War Between the States, it became an all-year refuge for a branch of the Adger family, who added the two-story porches or piazzas on the western facade of the building. The main house is now on public view along with a reconstructed carriage house containing the traveling coach of Thomas Green Clemson, after whom Clemson University is named.

"Nobody recruits one kid ahead of another because his religious conviction." That was the ONLY smart comment you made.
Players in the years past never got a stipend and they should NOT now. If you're a true student then room, board. books and tuition is enough. If the players are there to "only" play football then tough crap. Let them go back to the streets or playgrounds.
What do you expect? He is an immature child in a man's body. He is a thug and people will see more of this type behavior in the future. He could very possibly end up in jail and maybe not as a short timer.
Stupid "early" players who commit.
No way he'll make the NFL cut. No way.
And this stupid jock had enough brains to enter college? He played football and is a thief and I hope he's kicked out of school. Bad representation for UT. Probably not the first time he stole something. All colleges should quit signing criminal players.
You make your father proud. NOT. You must be an IDIOT. He should be kicked out of school and maybe some jail time.
She should be sterilized, jailed for child abuse and have her children taken from her. She is NO mother.
Totally WRONG.
I guess barak might think his kid would look like Walker if he had a son. Good riddance to another criminal.
Brainless. Punish to the max.
After only ONE year, I think NOT!!!
It's strange that the media did NOT mention that the man severely beaten is white and the 20 thugs are black Just saying... where are you al and jesse?
THE DUMBING DOWN OF AMERICA...... it's here.
It's been reviewed enough. Fire him.
If he's convicted put him down and save taxpayer's money.
blount is a hothead and definitely has a bad attitude. I wish they would cut him.
Goes to show the boy isn't very bright. Why do colleges sign kids who don't actually qualify to enter college?

Charleston doctor-activist Thaddeus Bell, a prominent advocate for healthy lifestyles who has long drawn attention to health disparities between blacks and other populations, is receiving the 2013 Distinguished Service Award from the National Medical Association.
The award is being conferred today at the NMA's annual convention, held this year in Toronto, Canada.
Bell said it is probably the greatest honor he has received.
The NMA, founded in 1895, "promotes the collective interests of physicians and patients of African descent." It is the nation's oldest and largest organization of its kind, representing more than 50,000 black health professionals, and was formed when black doctors, subject to segregation laws, were prohibited from joining the American Medical Association.
Bell, who has worked on institutional diversity at the Medical University and elsewhere, launched a community health initiative called "Closing the Gap in Health Care" nearly 10 years ago. He has reached out to the black community in an effort to educate people about their health and instill a sense of responsibility.
"The instructive example of your life and dedication to improving the health of others has moved the National Medical Association to salute you," wrote NMA Chairman George Saunders in a letter to Bell.

I've always liked Stockholm, especially the Old Town, so I'd definitely recommend visiting the capital of Sweden.
Built on 14 distinguishable islands, Stockholm is one of the few capitals in the world that affords visitors the opportunity to go island-hopping on a short break. Each of the Swedish capital's islands has its own attribute. Gamla Stan is one of the most charming old towns in Europe, Djurgården is at the forefront of the game in terms of museums, while Södermalm is where the Swedish capital's notoriously stylish offspring party into the early hours every weekend.

I've always liked Stockholm, especially the Old Town, so I'd definitely recommend visiting the capital of Sweden.
Spending a Weekend in Stockholm is great! Being that there are not many tourist attractions, a weekend is all you need to see the Old City and get a general feel of Stockholm. We had a great time, and felt really safe, even when it was late, and really dark out.
Insider Tip:Get a map as soon as you arrive, I spent a lot of time lost! But I still enjoyed it, and everything I saw!
So far, one of the best cities I visited in Europe. Safe city, friendly people, everybody speak english fluently (really, EVERYBODY!!). You can rent a bike and ride all over the city (there are bike lanes for that) or walk. Both are pleasant. The museums are wonderful (Vasa Museum is one of the best I've ever been. Fotografiska too). As I told to people I visited there: "Stockholm is a cold place with warm people". I would live there. I hope I'll visit again.
Insider Tip:Vasa museum. City bike system. Fotografiska museum.
It's expensive, and you will need to deal with the cold a bit outside of the summer months. However, the city is truly impressive. From he subways to museums to nightlife, there's just a lot to do.
Stockholm shouldn´t be compared to skyscraper cities. It is the capital city but still smaller dimensioned. The different island districts all have different characters but everywhere you´ll see nice old architecture. It´s easy to travel all over Stockholm by subway or bus and actually quite cheap, as a 24-hour ticket costs about ~12€, 72 hours around 25€ available offering trains, subways and busses.
Insider Tip:If you visit Stockholm you should definately visit Gamla Stan, the historical part of Stockholm. Lots of beautiful coloured houses and architecture. If you want to go for a drink try Ayfur, a viking club in Väsdterlånggatan, opens at 17 o´clock. Also consider visiting Skansen, a historical open air museum and animal park. really nice!

Strength coaches and trainers all have their own ideas about the best way to get bigger, stronger and faster. Ultimate Advantage owner and West Point powerlifting coach Rick Scarpulla has decided to make sense of the madness by introducing a new hybrid training program. With a self-proclaimed obsession for becoming big and strong, Scarpulla is a certified Westside Barbell and Nike Sparq coach. Those familiar with the two certifications may find it a bit peculiar to combine powerlifting with performance training. "The power guys are all about barbells and dumbbells and don't think you need any hurdles and ladders," explains Scarpulla. "The Nike guys advocate ladders and say that you don't need as much barbell and dumbbell training." Scarpulla has come to realize that he's at the forefront of two legitimate, albeit competing, schools of thought. "I'm standing in the middle and see the benefits of both and realize that both guys are right," adds Scarpulla. "From that, we developed the Ultimate Advantage program." Ultimate Advantage is a hybrid approach to training that is designed to build a better athlete. "We hit barbells and dumbbells, and hurdles and ladder, and we hit them hard," says Scarpulla. "If we can make you stronger, faster and quicker, you will perform better in your sport." He backs this up with research that Ultimate Advantage conducted with over 200 athletes. After testing the athletes in 10 performance categories, Ultimate Advantage found that the top 10 always have a better chance of winning because they are simply better athletes. However, Scarpulla emphasizes that extreme performance isn't always about physical potential. "The biggest thing that we do is get you in the right frame of mind to be successful," he says. "If there was only one thing that you could train, I would say the mind. We make you believe you can do things." Learn more about Scarpulla's Ultimate Advantage philosophy.

Overcoming Nervous Nelly
In situations from business negotiations to karaoke, Alison Wood Brooks explores the harmful effects of anxiety on performance—and how to combat them.
A colleague is out sick, and suddenly it's fallen on you to deliver a crucial client presentation. The saliva dries up in your mouth, your heart races. You briefly consider heading home sick yourself, before moving into the conference room to discover your boss has decided to sit in. If you were in danger of failing before, now your anxiety has made failure a foregone conclusion.
We've all experienced the crippling effects of job performance anxiety. But far from being uniquely relegated to nightmare scenarios like the one outlined above, anxiety is a pervasive aspect of office life, says Harvard Business School Assistant Professor Alison Wood Brooks.
"It was surprising to see such a devious twist that people would take advantage of someone in an anxious state"
"People who are perfectly healthy feel anxious many times each day," she says. "Anxiety can be triggered by very small things—for instance, "Did I leave the coffeemaker on this morning?"—by bigger things like meeting with a colleague or a manager, or by very important things like job security or health."
At its core, anxiety is about uncertainty, working us up about something that might happen rather than something that has or certainly will happen. "There is the possibility that something bad could happen, and a sense that you don't have control over it," Brooks explains.
While a little bit of anxiety can be good, helping us prepare for difficult events, too much can be debilitating. In a series of experiments, Brooks has more fully examined the landscape of the anxious mind, looking at how it impedes performance in everything from business negotiations to karaoke singing, as well as some surprising ways we can work to limit its sting.
Take negotiations, for instance. In buying a house or a car, a disparity in knowledge can cause purchasers to feel anxious over bargaining for the best price. In the study Can Nervous Nelly Negotiate? How Anxiety Causes Negotiators to Make Low Frst Offers, Exit Early, and Earn Less Profit, Brooks and Maurice E. Schweitzer looked at how that anxiety can change the outcomes of negotiations.
In order to induce anxiety in participants, she asked them to listen to the theme from the horror film Psycho; others heard soothing classical music instead. Then she placed them in a mock negotiation over a cellphone contract.
Following that minor emotion induction, the anxious negotiators made lower initial offers and bartered less favorable prices than the neutral participants. Anxious buyers, for example, ended up with a $6.60 final profit versus $7.94 for those who hadn't been exposed to incidental anxiety.
"If we can make people anxious by listening to a short music clip and see how they suffer in mock negotiations, then we can extrapolate the effects of anxiety to the pressures of the real world, where it's likely to have an even more profound effect," says Brooks. In related experiments, she found that in some cases, anxiety caused negotiators to be more likely to leave the bargaining table altogether.
In another study, Brooks and coauthors Schweitzer and Harvard's Francesca Gino considered the effects of anxiety on one possible solution to uncertainty: taking advice from someone else. Again inducing participants by playing scary music or video clips, she found that anxious individuals were much more likely to seek out advice from others when they were asked to estimate the body weights of random people in photographs. Anxious individuals were also more likely to use that advice in making their final estimates: 90 percent of anxious individuals relied on advice compared to 72 percent of the neutral participants.
She also found that anxious individuals were less confident in their own estimates, suggesting that their lower self-confidence had caused them both to reach out for a lifeline and to rely more heavily on the advisor's judgments.
That's not necessarily a bad thing—in fact, it's reassuring to think that people who are unsure of their own judgment might reach out to a knowledgeable advisor. Unfortunately, Brooks also learned that her jittery subjects were less likely to be able to tell the difference between good and bad advice. In another experiment, in which she asked participants to estimate the amount of money in a jar of coins, she found that anxious participants were apt to give equal weight to good advice (estimates that were within $2 of the actual amount) and to poor advice (extreme estimates that were $5 or $10 off the mark). Even more worrisome, she found that advisors took advantage of the anxious guesser's poor judgment by giving bad advice to increase their own profit.
"It was surprising to see such a devious twist that people would take advantage of someone in an anxious state," says Brooks. "Although participants who weren't anxious could see through it, the anxious people could not."
All of these experiments point to the importance of recognizing when we are feeling anxious, in order to protect ourselves from making bad choices that may harm us.
"If people know that everyone feels anxious a lot—including themselves—then they can be more self-aware and able to do things that are likely to improve their decision-making," says Brooks.
In a last set of experiments, she used her own experience to find a surprisingly effective way to use that self-awareness to improve performance.
In college, Brooks was the lead singer of a cover band and sang in an a cappella group. She watched anxiety derail countless auditions of talented performers, but a small number of vocalists seemed to do better when they arrived excited to perform.
"Rituals, though they may seem irrational, actually reduce anxiety and have a real impact on performance"
That made sense to Brooks. In psychological terms, anxiety is an emotion characterized by both "high arousal" and "negative valence." Common wisdom says that the best way to overcome anxiety is to calm yourself down, creating an emotion with low arousal and positive valence. But enacting a transformation across two axes at once is difficult to achieve. Turning anxiety into excitement, however, only requires a person to switch from a negative to a positive valence, while remaining in a state of high arousal, an easier prospect.
What better way to put this theory to the test than by asking participants to sing karaoke?
In the study, Brooks surprised participants by informing them that they would be publicly singing the first verse of Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'." Instantly, the participants' heart rate monitors shot up. She inserted one important twist: Before performing, she asked participants to repeat a statement out loud. Some were randomly assigned to say "I am excited," while others said, "I am anxious" or "I am calm." That simple reframing device dramatically changed the outcome of their performances.
Measured by voice recognition software that rated pitch, volume, and rhythm, the "I am excited" performers scored an average of 81 percent, while performers who said "I am anxious" notched 69 percent, and those who said "I am calm" gained a miserable 53 percent.
Brooks also repeated the experiment in a venue closer to a business context, but no less anxiety producing: public speaking. She asked participants to give a three-minute presentation explaining why they would be good work colleagues. Those who said they were excited scored higher across measures of persuasiveness, competence, confidence, and persistence compared to those who said they were anxious or those who explicitly tried to calm down.
"When your heart is already racing, you can use that high arousal in a positive way by being energetic, enthusiastic, and passionate," she says. "People's intuition is to try and calm down. You are better off running with your high arousal and channeling it in a positive direction."
In the case of that high-stakes client presentation, Brooks's findings suggest that an employee might perform better after considering the opportunities for success rather than the consequences of failure. Managers, meanwhile, can help subordinates by keeping them focused on the positive.
"In almost every decision, there is risk—there are potential upsides and downsides. Focusing an employee's attention on the potential upsides can make him or her feel more confident and more likely to achieve those positive outcomes."
Brooks is expanding her work on anxiety to examine other prevalent workplace emotions such as envy and admiration, as well as additional techniques for coping with anxiety, such as applying the elaborate rituals athletes employ before competing to a business context.
"My coauthors and I find that rituals, though they may seem irrational, actually reduce anxiety and have a real impact on performance."
Using techniques like these, employees just may be able to turn the next surprise client presentation from an anxious failure into an excited, passionate, and resounding success.

I am of the opinion that, expected better performance in anticipation of success might be applicable to organizations whose staff are already in high spirits. Organizations characterized by staff with negative attitudes are more likely to be motivated towards better performance by fear of failure if it would be followed with appropriate sanctions. I stand to be corrected. Thank you.

Silently counting upto ten or clenching one's fist 5 times are rituals that can calm your nerves. We can learn the use of rituals from sports persons. Djocovich at times makes fun of Nadal or Seriena imitating their rituals which are anxiety beaters!
- fergus mcclelland
- owner, vocaltrademark
All makes sense to me. I train people to speak and make a lot of speeches myself. I am excited, plain and simple. A part of me is calm as well. There is no anxiety. When people are trained into how to speak effectively and know that they are going to perform well, they do. I hate the idea that you have to be afraid/nervous to give a good speech - that is as crazy as sayiong you have to be scared to drive a car! Great article, and I will reference it in my trainings, thank you
- Francis Hilotina
- Employee, San Miguel Foods Inc.
All points here relate to common experience. Anxiety brings both positive and negative impacts to one's health and well-being in every situation. Its effect measured in stress levels varies depending on whether long-term uncertainty persists or short-lived loss of confidence exists in, say, completing a job. This is similar to common work situations, where across the effort spectrum anxiety presents different levels of stress. At one end, work overload is taxing when one sees his inability to sustain job momentum or unable to accomplish his targets. More punishing is the lack of activity often due to uncertainties and absence of feedback that stifle one's urge to move forward. In either case, anxiety comes from the lack of feedback, and as this article suggests, one emerges from it depends on how he freely communicates within his environment.

Anxiety is an avoidable - eventhough not so at times - human failing. It is aroused through negative thoughts created as a cosequence of feeling fear about something or some event. Also, uncertainty of what is to befall in future. The more one accumulates fear, the more anxious one becomes. Turning towards "Happy Thoughts" is a solution for shifting to peaceful living. Moreover, if one has complete faith that we are always guided by a Superpower (God or whatsoever) and "I'm not the doer", great relief would generally result. Thinking is necessary bur worrying is not for worrying retards proper thinking and appreciation of what is happening around us. Belief in "His Will be done" is a soothing tonic.

One must not confuse calm with limp. You also must distinguish between long-term development of your capabilities for close combat (e.g. a presentation or negotiation) and making the best out of an ad-hoc situation. Fergus Mcclelland described in his comment two key elements of the basic state of a master in martial arts going into a fight:
(1) I am excited, plain and simple. (=fighting spirit, you are ready to attack or respond to an attacker) (2) A part of me is calm as well. There is no anxiety. (= when your mind is calm, i.e. free of fear and distracting thoughts, you have the full processing power of your brain and body to deal with the situation at hand extremely fast).
A few thousand hours of meditation help.
You also need to look at the level of stress hormones such as Cortisol. Again, meditation helps.
Some happy people have a natural talent re 1+2 such as the German Chancellor Angela Merkel.

The idea that expectation and/or context impacts the subjective experience of arousal (e.g., anxiety or excitement) is old news. The classic study by Schachter and Singer (Schachter, Stanley; Singer, Jerome Psychological Review, Vol 69(5), Sep 1962, 379-399.) famously demonstrated that people interpret their arousal based on a combination of physiological and contextual cues. In addition, the recent book "Thinking, Fast and Slow" by the Nobel Prize winning psychologist Daniel Kahneman summarizes a career-long investigation into the effects of cognition on decision-making, judgement and behavior. I trust Brooks has fully acknowledged the broad shoulders on which she stands.

There is a difference between being afraid and frozen, or stumbling and afraid and courageous. The latter may look to another as though there is no fear. There is really nonsuch time and place of fearlessness.
I need to know my fear, so that I can meet it appropriately. Not all fears are life or death, but I may think of them that way. Or I may need to try to deny them in order to proceed. It has been dangerous for me to do that.

Parents please fill out your experiences with our Preschool.
The Stevenson's
Hands down Byers Preschool is the best in the area. Karen is truly gifted at nurturing the whole child -- socially, emotionally, and academically. My husband and I had some very negative care experiences prior to finding Byers. Karen was so tremendously patient with us and our little guy. She often sent picture texts, over communicated, and quickly learned the needs of our son to help feel safe and acclimate. Karen's school is full of curiosity, care, learning, laughter and love. As an Educator Byers Preschool is a very special place, and Karen has a tremendous spirit that is dedicated to nurturing little lives. She has a very special place in our hearts, and our family. You will not regret visiting Byers Preschool, it truly is a hidden gem!
Marcie MacTarnaghan
Byers Preschool and Ms. Karen have been a true blessing for us. Byers was our sons first school experience and the first time away from home. Ms. Karen and her Staff are exceptional women who truly love and care for children. My son has learned and grown so much in the year he has been there. I've never felt more comfortable leaving my son with anyone as I have with Byers Preschool. We love you!
Aiza & Sara's Mommy
Perfect preschool!! My daughter has been going there for more then a yr now. She loves it. You can't find such good care and love anywhere. I love the way Ms. Karen adds a personal touch to everything!! Thanks !! Ms. Karen.. Now our youngest is attending this year so reassuring to go back to where our youngest went to school.
Sophia's Mom
When I found Byers Preschool for my daughter, it was a relief. My daughter has learned so much being there.
She knows all her colors, shapes, numbers and days of the week and she's only 21/2. Byers Preschool is a safe and clean environment and LOTS OF FUN!
When I drop my daughter off every morning, I have no worries- because I know she is in a loving place and that's why I tell Mrs. Karen and her Staff "Thank you" everyday. My daughter is always smiling and is in a good mood when I pick her up after work. This place is a GOD send.
Calla's Mom
Simply the best private pre-school in Natomas!
We are picky parents. This is our 3rd child, so we knew exactly what we wanted.
Curriculum, yes.
But also, social skills, healthy eating habits, discipline, friendship and LOVE.
Karen and her family have given Calla everything she needs.
Calla starts Kindergarten at Natomas Park Elementary in July.
She's incredibly well prepared thanks to Byers Preschool.
It breaks our hearts to leave!
Casey & Greg Saumure
Love this school!
This school is the best place my child could be aside from his own home.
Needless to say, leaving my first born in someone else's hands besides my own was not an easy decision. I checked out plenty of "popular" preschools before coming to Byers Preschool. None of them stood up to the quality of the program and curriculum that Ms. Karen provides.
I love the level of care and one on one interaction and attention each child receives.
My son is not just a number here. This preschool provides a nurturing and loving environment along with a solid curriculum. The smiles my "typically shy" son has on his face when he's at school says it all.
This overbearing picky mom gives Ms. Karen, Miss Nicole and Byers Preschool an A++++!
No need to look elsewhere
I was very cautious when I was looking for someone that I could trust besides my own family to teach and watch my daughter.
As soon as I met Mrs. Karen she put my right at ease.
She may not know this but when I first met her she brought tears to my eyes.
I had finally found someone that would care for and nuture my daughter the same way that I would.
She had a very stable environment and my daughter looked forward to everyday and Mrs.Karen.
I now have a 1 year old and I can't wait until she gets to go and see Mrs.Karen......There is no need to look anywhere else...Your family with enjoy her......Bridgette
mother to Alexis
If you are looking for a safe environment with caring teachers this is the place for your child.
Ms. Karen and her Staff also provide a top notch learning program.
My son started when he was 2 1/2 years old and now he is 5 and will be starting kindergarten this year.
He has mastered his basic learning skills as well as his social skills.
If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact me through email at email@example.com.
I want to extend a sincere thanks to Ms. Karen for the outstanding job she does with all of the children.
Caryn & Mira's Mom
Simply the BEST!
Finding Byers Preschool was a real blessing.
Our first daughter started attending Byers Preschool when she was 18 months old and stayed all the way through pre-school. She is 12 years old now and she still LOVES Mrs. Karen! The bond that Mrs. Karen creates with the children under her care is unlike any you will find at those other preschools.
We were fortunate that our second daughter was also able to attend Byers Preschool. The curriculum that is used is fantastic and both children had a jump start on Kindergarten.
Anytime I hear that someone is in need of childcare I ALWAYS tell them about Mrs. Karen and how wonderful her Pre-school is.
It is simply the BEST!
Natomas Preschool!!!
If you are new to the area and are in need of a reputable, loving and caring daycare provider, or are in the process of searching for an excellent place for your children to learn and grow, search no more! Byers Preschool provides a home-school environment with a curriculum that prepares young ones for Kindergarten that puts them leaps and bounds ahead of the game when they enter into their first years of school.
Byers Preschool is owned amd operated by Karen Byers who has provided daycare for my three children throughout a ten year period. Children receive a hands on, one-on-one learning experience with daily nutrition-filled home cooked meals. If you are fortunate enough to grab an opening with Byers Preschool, you should not pass up on the opportunity for A++ daycare! I can't say enough about this preschool other than my children were well prepared for their first years both educationally and socially.
Olivia's Mommy
My daughter loves to go to THIS preschool! She is happy and thriving among the other great children and wonderful teachers. I can tell that she feels at home there and I think that Karen makes you feel like a member of her own family. This is truely a wonderful place! The children are all good friends and there is a real sense of "home" there! We love it and it is the best place for your little one. Keep up the great work!
Amanda's Mom & Dad,
Best in-home Preschool in Natomas !!!
My wife and I have been searching for a preschool for our daughter this summer and after interviewing and reviewing several preschools, Byers Preschool was our number one choice. Why? Mrs. Karen provides an outstanding learning program and she really cares about and understands how a child develops.
My daughter, Amanda, has been there for almost two months and we really see the difference at home. She really enjoys going there and she gets really excited every morning when we tell her it is time for school. Thanks Karen for taking care of Amanda and we love all the curriculum & crafts/paintings she brings home.
Brian and Tamara
Hands Down The Best!!! Our daughter and son both attends this preschool. Bria started attending at 1 1/2 years old, she is now 6 years old and still attends before and after school. Brian is 3 years old and attends full time (8-4).
If loving, caring, and safety is at the top of your priority list; this is the preschool for your family. Not to mention the freshly prepared meals with ingredients grown by the children from the Byers garden.
Her teaching curriculum parallels current school standards. Bria was more than well prepared for kindergarten. We are confident Brian will be as well. Not only did we find an exceptional preschool, we found lifelong friends.
Mom of a preschooler
Byers Preschool truly is a "place just like home". Ms. Karen is an exceptional teacher and is always coming up with fun and interesting activities for her students. Ms. Karen has provided a loving, nurturing, educational environment for my son Matthew. He started last August when he was 2 1/2, and has blossomed into a confident, happy preschooler. He loves, loves, loves going to school. This is not just a job for her, it is her passion. She truly cares about our children and is always looking out for their best interest. She is patient, loving and playful with our children. My son asks every day if he is going to school and tells me "Mommy, I love Ms. Karen". It truly warms my heart to see how happy he his at his school, and how much Ms. Karen truly loves and cares for our children. I cannot imagine a more perfect preschool for him. I am so grateful to have found this school and to have Ms. Karen in our lives.
We Love Ms. Karen and Byers Preschool!!!
By Candice
We are so thankful for Ms. Karen. She's conscientious and takes excellent care of our little girl. I have peace of mind when I bring my daughter to her. Caring for children is Karen's absolute passion and gifting, and she does it all effortlessly. We can count on Ms. Karen to provide a safe, educational, super clean and loving environment for our daughter to thrive and experience the world of educational play. Ms. Karen doesn't miss a beat with the kids, and my daughter loves her and loves spending time with her preschool family. When I met Ms. Karen, my long, exhaustive search for daycare ended right there! Yours will too!

After spending a year and a half away, Raymond Felton returned to the Knicks this season with an opportunity to guide the team back to Eastern Conference contention. He embraced the challenge, quickly reminding New Yorkers what he could do with the ball in his hands and a talented team to run.
Averaging 14 points and just under six assists per game in both the regular season and the playoffs, the Knicks' point guard took charge and was a big reason for their success. Here's a look at Felton's top five games of the first half of the season.

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — A new event this year at the Azalea Festival was the Azalea Festival Tennis Challenge.
The featured match today pitted tennis's bad boy John McEnroe against former world No. 4 Todd Martin.
In the end, McEnroe came out on top (4-6, 6-1, 12-10). But the real winner was the Althea Gibson Tennis Center at Empie Park, which gets the proceeds from the event. That includes a $2,100 winning bid for a racket and shirt McEnroe used today. The 17-time grand slam champ made his own donation matching that bid.

By Nancy Weil, IDG News Service
April 15, 2003 | The convergence of life sciences and IT, now in its early stages, means that we'll live longer because doctors have better access to data that will help them prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases, said Caroline Kovac, general manager of IBM's life sciences group.
Profound changes in medical care will initially happen not in doctors' offices but at research facilities and large pharmaceutical companies with collaborative projects that lead to massive databases of information about patients, Kovac said. Those stores of data will be tapped into by those involved in healthcare, including pharma companies that will develop better, safer clinical trials. Kovac calls this future healthcare system "information-based medicine." (Some have suggested IBM prefers this tag because its acronym is "IBM," but Kovac said it took the life sciences group three weeks to realize that.) Sequencing the human genome marked "the race to the starting line," and signaled the start of major new projects related to creating databases of information that, for example, can be used to figure out who is likely to come down with certain diseases. "This whole issue of genealogy and population data is going to be very important," she said.
One of the biggest challenges ahead is building the infrastructure for electronic medical-records databases. Those exist now but are often used for billing and to track matters such as "who had surgery this morning," Kovac said. But in the future, the difference is that doctors will actually use such databases, which eventually will be a combination of patient records and genomic records.

Florida Jobs Picture
Florida had nearly the worst job market at the beginning of the "great recession" with unemployment near 13%. Florida's unemployment rate dropped to 8% in December 2012, the best rate in four years. November 2012's rate of 8.1% had also been the Florida's previous four year low so steady improvement continues. Although the Florida jobs picture has improved according to the official numbers, the unemployment rate is still higher than the U.S. average of 7.8%.
So should you move to Florida and expect to find a job? An unemployment rate of 8% is still historically high. There has also been some criticism about changes in qualifying for unemployment compensation and that there may be many unemployed that are not being counted. If you are thinking of moving to Florida but will need to find work to survive, you should think twice before quitting a job to move to the sunshine state at this time. If you are already unemployed, compare the rate where you're located now to Florida's rate to see if your chances will improve or worsen with a move.
The field you're in should also be considered. Tourism in Florida was the job growth leader in Florida's recovery. While Florida's construction industry is slowly getting better, finding a job would probably still be difficult right now but I expect that to improve by the end of 2013. Keep reading to find out why.
Florida's Real Estate Market
According to The Florida Association of Realtors, December was another great month for real estate. Closed sales are up. Homes going under contract are up. The inventory is going down and since supply and demand dictate where prices are going, prices have increased in most areas of Florida. As anyone who reads this blog regularly knows, I have said the bottom was hit in 2011 and prices were going to go up. Unless some terrible surprise upsets the national economy, this year will probably be the last year to get a "bargain" priced home in most of Florida.
After the 60% drop in Florida home prices because of the recession, bargains often sat on the market for years with no takers. That has changed. It's next to impossible to get a home at 50-60% anymore in the most wanted locations, but overall home prices are still very low compared to what they were at their peak and in my opinion, much lower than what they will be in 3-5 years. This year may be the last for recession related low pricing.
Home sales have picked up in many areas of the country that buyers traditionally sell to move to Florida. I expect that trend to continue meaning more sales and higher prices in Florida as the people who have wanted to move but couldn't until their home sold, are now finding buyers. The influx of buyers and investors from overseas should continue. As the number of buyers in Florida grows and the inventory shrinks, the prices will continue to rise. As the prices rise it will start to make financial sense for more builders to start more homes.
I would not be totally surprised if the unemployment rate in Florida was significantly lower than the national average and the state's real estate prices were rising quickly by the end of 2013. I also would not be shocked if prices went back to their peak within 3-5 years. I'm not saying people should rush and move to Florida and buy right now. Many of the people who move to Florida "permanently" will end up moving out after realizing it was a mistake. But if you have thoroughly researched moving, including the pros and cons of living in Florida and are going to do it, there will be far worst years in the future to buy, than this year.

L.A. Times Offers Another Good Review of "It Happened at Pomona, Part 2"
The L.A. Times art reviewer Sharon Mizota has set the goal of seeing all the Pacific Standard Time exhibits, and Pomona College is the latest on her list. In this favorable review of "It Happened at Pomona, Part 2," which focuses on the exhibits of curator Helene Winer, she notes of Winer: "After stints at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art and the Whitechapel Gallery in London, Winer arrived at Pomona with an interest in then-cutting-edge work in performance, video, and photography. Much of this art centered around the body of the artist, fleeting experiences and the vagaries of narrative -- it sought to jolt audiences out of their preconceptions about art and, indeed, reality itself."
