2011 NFC draft grades: Bears flunk test
Unlike the AFC, where most teams fell into an average to above-average pattern in their grading, the NFC teams graded out much more extreme. A total of four teams got at least an A-minus grade for their work. At the same time, three got a D or worse and the Bears became the extremely rare team that got a failing grade for their work. Such is life when you go back on your word and lose your honor. Two other teams with D grades (Carolina and Minnesota) were sunk by bad trades that happened well before the draft.
Here's an early assessment of how the NFC teams fared during the 2011 NFC draft:
Dallas Cowboys
Picks: OT Tyron Smith(notes), LB Bruce Carter(notes), RB DeMarco Murray(notes), OL David Arkin(notes), CB Josh Thomas, WR Dwayne Harris(notes), FB Shaun Chapas(notes), C Bill Nagy(notes).
Grade: C+
Analysis: This had to be a frustrating draft for Dallas owner/GM Jerry Jones, who hadn't taken an offensive lineman in the first round since the Truman Administration (OK, we kid, it was actually Eisenhower's). But Jones got a very good offensive tackle in Smith. He may never be great, but he only needs to be adequate to help improve Dallas' awful O-line. Carter in the second round is a strange pick because he's not only overcoming an ACL tear in his left knee, but the Cowboys are projecting him as an inside linebacker rather than as an outside guy where he played primarily in college. Murray is a good value pick in the third round, but just exactly how many running backs does a team need?
New York Giants
Picks: CB Prince Amukamara(notes), DT Marvin Austin(notes), WR Jerrel Jernigan(notes), OT James Brewer(notes), LB Greg Jones, S Tyler Sash(notes), LB Jacquian Williams(notes), RB Da'Rel Scott(notes).
Grade: B
Analysis: Giants GM Jerry Reese is one of the best at recognizing strong value on the board because of his extensive background as a scout. Reese did that again this year when he picked Amukamara in the first round and Austin in the second. Amukamara was clearly the second-best defensive back in the draft and the Giants got him at No. 19 overall. Austin is a guy who has first-round talent, but fell because he didn't play last season due to NCAA violations and because many teams were turned off by his perceived selfishness. A big part of the draft is to get athletic value and the team certainly did that. Throw in the potentially explosive Jernigan in the third round and big-bodied Brewer in the fourth round and you have a solid effort.
Philadelphia Eagles
Picks: OL Danny Watkins(notes), S Jaiquawn Jarrett(notes), CB Curtis Marsh(notes), LB Casey Matthews(notes), K Alex Henery(notes), RB Dion Lewis(notes), OL Julian Vandervelde(notes), C Jason Kelce(notes), LB Brian Rolle(notes), LB Greg Lloyd(notes), FB Stanley Havili(notes).
Grade: C
Analysis: The Eagles have been trying for years to fix their offensive line, but between injury and ineffectiveness, they have never seemed to get it right. That explains the selection of Watkins, who has the ability to play tackle but figures to go to guard, in the first round. That said, Watkins isn't exactly a mauler and the NFC East is a division loaded with tough defensive linemen. That will make the transition a little tougher. As for the rest of the group, Marsh is a high upside athlete who isn't very polished, Matthews obviously has a great pedigree and Lewis is pretty tough despite being only 5-foot-8. This is a functional draft, but not exactly exciting.
Washington Redskins
Picks: DE/LB Ryan Kerrigan(notes), DL Jarvis Jenkins(notes), WR Leonard Hankerson(notes), RB Roy Helu(notes), S Dejon Gomes(notes), WR Niles Paul(notes), RB Evan Royster(notes), WR Aldrick Robinson(notes), DB Brandyn Thompson(notes), OL Maurice Hurt(notes), DE Markus White(notes), DT Chris Neild(notes).
Grade: B
Analysis: Many people thought going into this draft that the Redskins would be going after a quarterback in the first round. Instead, they traded out of a chance to get Blaine Gabbert(notes) and instead took Kerrigan with their top pick. Kerrigan figures to be a great complement to Brian Orakpo(notes). Kerrigan is, at worst, a solid pass rusher who should regularly get eight to 10 sacks. Jenkins in the second round can play any of three line positions in Washington's 3-4 front and Hankerson was considered the third-best receiver in the draft by several analysts. Getting him in the third round is a very good value. He has the size coach Mike Shanahan loves.
Chicago Bears
Picks: OT Gabe Carimi(notes), DT Stephen Paea(notes), S Chris Conte(notes), QB Nathan Enderle(notes), LB J.T. Thomas(notes).
Grade: F
Analysis: This is a grade on principle. If you agree to a trade, you should follow through on it. GM Jerry Angelo's wimpy way of backing out of his deal with Baltimore is just unmanly. This is the same guy who once complained about San Francisco tampering with Lance Briggs(notes). No GM in the league should ever trust Angelo again and to do that to a person as classy as Ozzie Newsome is just ridiculous. The Bears should have sent the pick to the Ravens simply as an apology. Beyond that, Angelo guessed wrong about who Kansas City was going to take and ended up getting Carimi anyway. Here's even more bad news: Carimi isn't that good and doesn't fit what the Bears want to do. Paea in the second round was a solid pick, even if he cost a lot to get, but Conte was a stretch in the third round.
Detroit Lions
Picks: DT Nick Fairley(notes), WR Titus Young(notes), RB Mikel Leshoure(notes), LB Doug Hogue(notes), OT Johnny Culbreath(notes).
Grade: A-
Analysis: So, you're probably asking, why am I praising Detroit for taking a boom-or-bust player like Fairley while chastising Carolina (more on that later) for taking Cam Newton(notes)? Fair question, but the difference is that Fairley is 12 picks later in the process, far less costly and has less downside. Fairley may not play hard all the time, but if he does just enough while lining up next to Ndamukong Suh(notes), that will be enough. If Fairley ends up being great, the Lions could have one of the best defenses in the league very quickly. Given that Detroit coach Jim Schwartz was able to motivate Albert Haynesworth(notes), he should be able to do with the same with Fairley. As for the rest, Schwartz continued to build the Lions offense by nabbing the explosive Young and a possible bell-cow runner in Leshoure. Give Schwartz credit for understanding both value in the draft and the need to be great on offense in this era.
Green Bay Packers
Picks: OT Derek Sherrod(notes), WR Randall Cobb(notes), RB Alex Green(notes), CB Davon House(notes), TE D.J. Williams, OL Caleb Schlauderaff(notes), LB D.J. Smith(notes), LB Ricky Elmore(notes), TE Ryan Taylor(notes), DT Lawrence Guy(notes).
Grade: B-
Analysis: The Packers didn't do anything terribly exciting with this draft, but that's OK when you're coming off a Super Bowl title. This draft was more about replacing parts and shoring up depth. Sherrod, Cobb and Green are all going to compete to replace players who are either aging or expected to leave. For example, Cobb will probably get some time if WR James Jones(notes) leaves and could compete for time when 36-year-old Donald Driver(notes) eventually moves on. The same applies for Green, who may get time depending on the health of Ryan Grant(notes) and the future of Brandon Jackson(notes). The bottom line is that the Packers weren't desperate to build up their roster in this draft to stay competitive.
Minnesota Vikings
Picks: QB Christian Ponder(notes), TE Kyle Rudolph(notes), DL Christian Ballard(notes), CB Brandon Burton(notes), OT DeMarcus Love(notes), DB Mistral Raymond(notes), C Brandon Fusco(notes), LB Ross Homan(notes), DL D'Aundre Reed(notes), WR Stephen Burton(notes).
Grade: D
Analysis: Let's start off by noting that the Vikings didn't have a third-round draft pick because of the ill-fated trade they made last season with the New England Patriots to get Randy Moss(notes). When you start off from that position, it's hard to move up quickly. The Vikings compounded that by reaching for Ponder. People can talk all they want about how impressive Ponder was in the bowl games and in the Senior Bowl (a glorified 7-on-7 contest). He was projected as a second-round pick and Minnesota took him No. 12 overall out of desperation. Ponder may end up being great, but that's just not how to handle the draft. Teams like Cincinnati and San Francisco waited until the second round and got passers with just about as much upside as Ponder. Worse, New England got Ryan Mallett(notes) in the third round. As risky as Mallett might be, he's as good a gamble to succeed as Ponder. In fairness, it should be noted that second-rounder Rudolph is a very good player.
Atlanta Falcons
Picks: WR Julio Jones, LB Akeem Dent(notes), RB Jacquizz Rodgers(notes), K/P Matt Bosher(notes), OL Andrew Jackson(notes), DL Cliff Matthews(notes).
Grade: B
Analysis: The decision to trade five draft picks, including their first pick next year, to move up for Jones was one of the most hotly debated subjects during the draft. Give GM Thomas Dimitroff credit for recognizing that while the Falcons had the best record in the NFC last season, there were obvious holes in his team. Specifically, Atlanta was just not very explosive on offense, averaging near the bottom of the league in yards per play and yards per play differential. This draft didn't feature a lot of sure-fire game changers, but the Falcons got one at a key time because TE Tony Gonzalez(notes) and RB Michael Turner(notes) aren't going to last forever. LB Akeem Dent helps the front seven, even if he's not a dynamic player. The selection of Rodgers in the fifth round could be one of the steals of the draft.
Carolina Panthers
Picks: QB Cam Newton, DL Terrell McClain(notes), DT Sione Fua(notes), CB Brandon Hogan(notes), WR Kealoha Pilares(notes), LB Lawrence Wilson, OL Zach Williams, OT Lee Ziemba(notes).
Grade: D
Analysis: This is a prime example of why it's not wise to grade drafts right after they end. If Newton becomes a franchise player, this is a great draft. If not, it could be a disaster. As it is, the Panthers didn't have their second-round pick after the ill-conceived trade in 2010 to give up that selection for a third-rounder last year that was used to get Armanti Edwards(notes). Edwards ended up playing in three games and contributing nothing. As for Newton, he may have more tools than a hardware store, but it may take him a long time to learn to use them. He's not quite as risky a selection as JaMarcus Russell(notes), but there certainly are concerns. The selection of McClain and Fua were good value picks in the third round, but this team is hurting for offensive help around Newton.
New Orleans Saints
Picks: DE Cameron Jordan(notes), RB Mark Ingram(notes), LB Martez Wilson(notes), CB Johnny Patrick(notes), DE Greg Romeus(notes), LB Nate Bussey(notes).
Grade: B+
Analysis: If you had a checklist of needs for the Saints, they filled each of them, almost in order. The team needed to get younger at defensive end, so they got Jordan in the first round. They needed a complete running back to complement the explosive passing game and restore some overall balance, so they took Ingram. They needed to get more athletic at linebacker, so they got Wilson. They needed to get some depth at cornerback, so they selected Patrick. Check, check, check and check. Jordan and Ingram are extremely high-character, hard-working players who will be significant contributors even if they never become great stars. Most important, the Saints were aggressive, trading away a first-round pick next year to get players who can help them take advantage of the window of opportunity they have right now. The Saints are in a spot where they need a few good players, not a bunch of mediocre ones.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers
Picks: DE Adrian Clayborn(notes), DE Da'Quan Bowers(notes), LB Mason Foster(notes), TE Luke Stocker(notes), S Ahmad Black(notes), RB Allen Bradford(notes), DB Anthony Gaitor(notes), TE Daniel Hardy(notes).
Grade: A
Analysis: After taking defensive tackles with the first two picks of the 2010 draft (Gerald McCoy(notes) and Brian Price(notes)), the Buccaneers did the same thing at defensive end this year by taking Clayborn and Bowers, respectively. In both cases, the Bucs got great sliding value. Clayborn is a big, strong end who will hold up effectively against the run. Bowers might be the steal of the draft if he's able to overcome medical concerns about his knee. Some people thought Bowers could be the No. 1 overall pick until the medical exams. He then dropped to No. 51 overall despite being considered the best pass rusher in the draft. Put the 2010 and 2011 drafts together and you could have a great defense for years, particularly if CB Aqib Talib(notes) is able to get his act together and convince the Bucs to keep him (that could be a long shot).
Arizona Cardinals
Picks: CB Patrick Peterson(notes), RB Ryan Williams(notes), TE Rob Housler(notes), LB Sam Acho(notes), FB Anthony Sherman(notes), LB Quan Sturdivant(notes), DT David Carter(notes), WR DeMarco Sampson(notes).
Grade: A
Analysis: The Cardinals wisely avoided taking a quarterback (2010 draft pick John Skelton(notes) has come a long way) and picked the best player on the board in Peterson. While Peterson might one day end up at safety the way Ronnie Lott and Rod Woodson switched during their careers, the bottom line is that he's a safe bet to achieve greatness. In the second and third rounds, the Cardinals addressed obvious needs by taking Williams and Housler. Sadly, Williams is an admission that Beanie Wells(notes) isn't getting it done and Housler needs to beef up, but at least the Cards didn't try to avoid the problem.
St. Louis Rams
Picks: DE Robert Quinn(notes), TE Lance Kendricks(notes), WR Austin Pettis(notes), WR Greg Salas(notes), DB Jermale Hines(notes), DB Mikail Baker(notes), LB Jabara Williams(notes), DB Jonathan Nelson(notes).
Grade: A
Analysis: While there are medical concerns about Quinn, he was a great value at No. 14 overall and gives the Rams another speed rusher who should also help DE Chris Long(notes). The really sound moves came in the second, third and fourth rounds when the Rams got Kendricks, Pettis and Salas. This is what a team should do when it drafts a quarterback at No. 1 overall; get him support right away. All three of those players should help QB Sam Bradford(notes), who did a great job of making the most out of very little around him last season. In fact, the Rams were so mediocre last season that Kendricks, Pettis and Salas could easily end up on the field at least 60 percent of the time this season if they're just OK.
San Francisco 49ers
Picks: DE Aldon Smith, QB Colin Kaepernick(notes), CB Chris Culliver(notes), RB Kendall Hunter(notes), OL Daniel Kilgore(notes), WR Ronald Johnson(notes), S Colin Jones(notes)), DL Bruce Miller(notes), OL Michael Person, DB Curtis Holcomb(notes).
Grade: B+
Analysis: The 49ers were caught in a bad spot in this draft because there was a huge dropoff from the No. 6 to the No. 7 spot, where the draft transitioned from more sure-fire selections to higher-risk players. The 49ers did the best job they could of balancing potential and personality by taking Smith, who figures to be a solid worker and a good pass rusher in the worst-case scenario. The 49ers passed on the likes of Nick Fairley and Robert Quinn, who have much larger personality concerns. But the most impressive thing the 49ers did was not reach on a quarterback at that spot and instead waited until the second round to get Colin Kaepernick, who has just as much chance of being great as first-round quarterbacks Jake Locker(notes), Blaine Gabbert and Christian Ponder. The 49ers had to make a slight trade up to get Kaepernick, but that was perfectly acceptable. The rest of the draft is filled with some intriguing prospects, such as CB Chris Culliver, but the 49ers really aren't that far away from being a good team, particularly if Kaepernick pans out.
Seattle Seahawks
Picks: OT James Carpenter(notes), G John Moffitt(notes), LB K.J. Wright(notes), WR Kris Durham(notes), CB Richard Sherman(notes), FS Mark LeGree(notes), DB Byron Maxwell(notes), DL Pep Levingston, LB Malcolm Smith(notes).
Grade: C
Analysis: The Seahawks went into this without their original third-round pick, which was dealt last year in the Charlie Whitehurst(notes) trade (a deal that isn't looking so good right now). Considering that and the fact that the first three picks were spent on guys who don't touch the ball and you have the makings of one really boring draft. Now, don't confuse boring with bad. If Carpenter and Moffitt end up being good offensive linemen, they will team with 2010 first-rounder Russell Okung(notes) to create a great foundation for the future and should keep QB Matt Hasselbeck(notes) upright for at least another year or two if he comes back to the team. That said, the Seahawks better get some better skill-position players very soon.

Trust in God is rational, Pope reminds Sunday audience
Catholic World News - January 04, 2010
At his first Sunday Angelus audience of 2010, Pope Benedict XVI told the faithful not to be troubled by "improbably prognostications and not even economic forecasts—important though they may be." Instead, he said, Christians should trust in God.
This attitude is not "fatalism dress up as faith," the Pope continued. Trust in God is based on a reasonable response to Revelation. In the light of the Nativity, we know that life is not a random event, he said. He explained, "history has a meaning, because it is inhabited by the Wisdom of God." True happiness, the Pope said, comes when one "is able to collaborate with the grace of God." Citing the Virgin Mary as the ideal example of such collaboration, he said that God "first knocks at the doors of our heart, and—so to speak—awaits our 'Yes,' in the little choices and in the great." He concluded his remarks with a prayer that all Christians will do more to correspond to God's will.

The first year in a position with a new employer can be challenging for many people. That's why Crouse Hospital holds a special luncheon each quarter for those who've successfully completed a full year of new employment. The employees (some of whom are pictured here) along with their supervisors were invited to a buffet lunch last Friday, and each of those marking 12 months with the hospital received a gift as a token of thanks.
Kayla Meyer, SPHR, manager of recruitment and retention, says the one-year employee reunions started about eight years ago. In addition to celebrating the employees' success, the luncheons were developed as a means of employee retention and recognition. "One of the most important reasons for having our human resources staff get together with new staff after one year is the opportunity to gain valuable feedback," she said. The one-year employees provide insight into their experience, from the time of hire, about new employee orientation, starting in their department and their working relationship with their supervisor. "We now do an online survey, so the luncheon's focus can be about re-connecting and celebrating," says Kayla.
Congratulations to all of our first-year employees!

Botanic motifs flourished in Victorian design, and typography was no exception. Ornate filigree details and calligraphic embellishments were often designed as stylized flowers, leaves, and even trees, around the alphabet characters.
I discovered a beautiful collection of several Victorian-era botanic-inspired typefaces in Florid and Unusual Alphabets, published by Dover (1976). Many of these alphabets are, quite literally, florid designs, in which the elaborate letterforms are trellises for flowers, or are the plants themselves. As the book notes, the alphabets are selected from four famous typographic albums of the nineteenth century; the designers are referred to as "reckless Romantics." The book catalogs designs of the typographic garden, where the styles vary—from formal to very fantastic—and all exhibit intricate engraving, an incredible mastery of detail, and a tip of the gardener's hat to botanic forms. Below are sample works from two designers included in the book. The book's images are copyright-free and available for reproduction by the book's purchaser (according to Dover).
Karl Klimsch
Karl Klimsch (1841-1926) was a lithographer, type designer, and, perhaps not surprisingly, a landscape painter. With trees as his armature (above), Klimsch designed an alphabet (upper and lower cases) that attracted many birds and butterflies. Many of his uppercase letterforms have different leaves, and a discernible grape vine hangs on the capital M.
Karl Klimsch
Here, Klimsch's classical letterforms (above) are enveloped by verdant undergrowth and a whimsical floral dalliances.
Joseph Balthazar Silvestre
The alphabets by Joseph Balthazar Silvestre are from his ornately-titled book Collection de Soixante Feuilles d'Alphabets Historiés et Fleuronnés, tirés des Principales Bibliothèques de l'Europe (Paris, 1843). His "Tree Alphabet" (capital letters only) is a fairy tale forest of mysterious dark nooks and details that begin to tell its own story: an axe in the A, and a snake in the V.
Joseph Balthazar Silvestre
Silvestre's storybook capitals are an alphabet of small flowers and ornate vines. It was inspired by a 17th-century Italian manuscript found in the Library of St. Mark's in Venice, Italy. Unlike some other more illustrative alphabets in the book, where you might miss the letters for the forest, Silvestre gives priority to the letters here.

Annual PJSA conference in Memphis10/29/2011
Members of the Saybrook community are active in the Peace and Justice Studies Association, an organization dedicated to bringing together academics, teachers and activists to explore alternatives to violence and share visions and strategies for peacebuilding, social justice, and social change.
The annual PJSA conference was held last week in Memphis, a city with a rich social justice history. This year's conference was a joint initiative with the Gandhi-King Conference, hosted at Christian Brothers University.
The conference, titled "A Living Movement: Toward a World of Peace, Solidarity, and Justice" (October 21-23, 2011) aimed at "promoting dynamic exchange among individuals and organizations working for a more just and peaceful world."
Panels, workshops, and speakers from a wide range of disciplines, professions, and perspectives addressed issues related to the broad themes of solidarity, community, advocacy, education, and activism as they are brought to bear in the pursuit of peace and justice.
The PJSA represents a valuable resource for Saybrook students and faculty. In addition to the annual conference, an active and lively email listserv offers a space for announcements, job postings, discussion, and resource exchange on a daily basis. PJSA also hosts a blog on issues of peace and justice that can be publicly viewed.
Alumna Lyn Freeman launches new, revolutionary, technique for post-cancer recovery10/21/2011
Saybrook Alumna Lyn Freeman has been one of the leading researchers on guided imagery as a healing technique. In 2005 she received the first National Institutes of Health grant to study it as a method of support for cancer survivors.
Treatment for cancer can often leave survivors exhausted, depleted, and drained -- but modern medicine had little to offer them. Freeman's research was designed to give them something to lead them back from "surviving" to "health."
Based on the Phase I and II results of her studies, the National Cancer Institute has directed Dr. Freeman's company, Mind Matters Research, to make its therapeutic intervention available to cancer patients and survivors.
While the company is launching the program in Alaska, there is every possibility that it will grow nationally. The Phase II grants Dr. Freeman received require Mind Matters Research to develop and clinically test their approach via tele-medicine and the web.
Dr. Freeman's ENVISION Behavioral Medicine Intervention is one of a kind anywhere, relying on brain plasticity strategies that are imagery-based.
Strategies include imagery-driven biofeedback to assess and modify heart rate variability and temperature; art, storytelling, and sound to effect physiology and mood state; mind mapping memory practices; and many other therapies that are implemented and evaluated on a daily basis with cancer patients and survivors. Methods utilized are personalized depending on participant symptoms and response. The Intervention optimizes health promoting changes in physiology, biochemistry and mood state.
Wilson Williams named to Board of Directors for the Museum of Women in the Arts10/17/2011
Willson Williams, a member of Saybrook's psychology faculty, has been appointed to the Board of Directors of the New Mexico Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts in Washington, DC.
The National Museum of Women in the Arts brings recognition to the achievements of women artists of all periods and nationalities by exhibiting, preserving, acquiring, and researching art by women and by teaching the public about their accomplishments. To fulfill its mission, the museum cares for and displays a permanent collection, presents special exhibitions, conducts education programs, maintains a Library and Research Center, publishes a quarterly magazine and books on women artists, and supports a network of state and international committees. NMWA also serves as a center for the performing and literary arts and other creative disciplines.
The New Mexico Committee of the National Museum of Women in the Arts is involved in statewide and national art exhibitions, achievement awards, educational programs, sponsorship and lectures, and special events.
Alumna Kaffia Jones promoted to Brigadier General10/13/2011
Saybrook is pleased to announce that psychology alumna Colonel Kaffia Jones was promoted to the rank of Brigadier General on Sept. 10.
The ceremony was held it Atlanta, Georgia, and attended by Brigadier General Jones' immediate family, officers of the General corps, and enlisted servicemen and women. Saybrook Faculty member Eugene Taylor was also in attendance.
The ceremony was conducted by Major General Stuart M. Dyer, Commanding General of the 335th Signal Command (Theater), based in East Point, Georgia, where Colonel Jones served as Chief of Staff for two years.
Immediately following the ceremony, Brigadier General Jones left for a posting in the Middle East. The 3200 Soldiers and civilians in her command build, operate, maintain, and defend the military computer network in Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Persian Gulf.
As a Saybrook student, then Colonel Jones produced what Taylor called "an outstanding dissertation" entitled "Expatriate Warrior: the experiences of World War II American veterans of African descent," under faculty members Theopia Jackson, Zonya Johnson, and Charles Canaday.
Jones earned her PhD in Psychology, graduating in 2010.
Watch PsyD student Martha White's presentation to the Hawaii state legislature09/29/2011
Saybrook PsyD student Martha White's recent presentation to Hawaii state officials, including the Lt. Governor, has been posted to video. It can be seen here.
White gave the presentation, on Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Disorder (FASD), as part of Hawaii's programs for International Fetal Alcohol Spectrum Awareness Day.
It's a subject White has been passionate about since adopting a child from Eastern Europe who suffers from FASD. Her experience tending to her adopted daughter led her to eventually become a mental health counselor and advocate for children with related syndromes. She has a private counseling and consulting practice, specializing in preschool mental health, challenging behaviors, and adult recovery from childhood trauma.
Louis Hoffman named President-Elect of the Society for Humanistic Psychology09/29/2011
Dr. Louis Hoffman, a member of Saybrook University's psychology faculty, has been named President-Elect of the Society for Humanistic Psychology.
He began the role in August of this year, and will become President of the society in August, 2012.
Hoffman will replace current SHP president David Elkins. Both Hoffman and Elkins are members of The New Existentialists, a new movement in existential-humanistic psychology that emerged out of the work of faculty and alumni of Saybrook's Graduate College of Psychology and Humanistic Studies.
"It's an honor," said Hoffman, "particularly at this time that many are describing as a renaissance in humanistic psychology and current president David Elkins described as the most excitement in humanistic psychology since the 1970s. Having served on the board for several years, I am quite aware of the talented leaders and scholars that are involved helping attain this resurgence. I hope that we can continue to build upon what we have accomplished, such as drawing in a large base of extraordinarily talented students and early career psychologists to become involved with the society, and creating a very successful annual conference. In particular, I hope we can increase the diversity in the division, including taking a critical examination of what it means for the division to embrace and value diversity. This, I believe, is necessary for us to continue to grow and stay relevant in an increasingly diverse and international society."
Louis Hoffman to present at Caribbean psychology conference09/29/2011
Saybrook faculty member Louis Hoffman, a member of "The New Existentialists," will be presenting two papers at the 2011 Carribean Regional Conference of Psychology.
The conference has the theme of "Psychological Science & Well-Being: Building Bridges for Tomorrow," and will be held from November 16-18 in Nassau, Bahamas.
Dr. Hoffman, who has recently been elected to the role President-Elect of the Society for Humanistic Psychology, will be presenting on:
- Existential therapy in a Bahamian Context by Louis Hoffman & Heatherlyn Cleare-Hoffman
- Bahamians in Cross Cultural Marriages: Implications for Marriage/Family Therapy by Heatherlyn Cleare-Hoffman & Louis Hoffman

ALEXANDRIA BAY Pine Tree Point Resort on Anthony Street is up for sale.
The 10-acre resort at 70 Anthony St. and three adjoining lots owned by Melissa A. and Richard S. Thomson will be auctioned in August by the J.P. King Auction Co.
Mr. Thomson said he and his wife had purchased the resort in 1996, four years after they got married, but that the property has remained in the Thomson family for almost 60 years now.
Pine Tree Point used to be a residence with eight bedrooms when the Thomson family purchased the waterfront property in the 1950s.
According to the auctioneer, the original building dates back to 1917.
The residence was expanded and renovated by the Thomsons into a private club with 22 bedrooms and was turned into a resort in the late 1960s.
During that era we had people staying for two months at a time and they came back year after year, he said.
Mr. Thomson said he started managing the resort in 1979 and he wishes to retire now.
Mr. and Mrs. Thomson will remain in Alexandria Bay and will continue operating their other businesses, including the James Street dance club Downtown.
If its going to be purchased, it needs to be fully renovated, Mr. Thomson said, adding that it would likely be a multimillion-dollar task to fix up the facilitys 96 bedrooms and suites, restaurant and bar and perhaps put in a nice spa.
Mr. Thomson said he and his wife decided to auction off the resort and neighboring lots instead of trying to sell them through a local real estate agent because they thought theyd be able to reach a wider market.
The auction is Aug. 6 at the resort.

If the shaky futures of the Tolman and Woonsocket hockey teams didnŌĆÖt need to receive any additional bad news, they indirectly got some at Monday nightŌĆÖs meeting of the R.I. Interscholastic LeagueŌĆÖs PrincipalsŌĆÖ Committee on Athletics in Providence.
Among the developments that transpired during this session was the matter of extending the periods in Division III, as well as girlsŌĆÖ hockey, from 12 to 15 minutes. This was put to a vote and narrowly (and surprisingly) approved by a 6-to-5 vote.
Of course, the increase in minutes is a two-year arrangement by the RIIL, but once those two years are up, will the TigersŌĆÖ and Villa NovansŌĆÖ time on the ice, as well as a couple of other teams, be up as well?
As high school hockey fans well know, participation in the sport is down, and during the past few years, more and more teams struggling with numbers have kept their players on the ice by forming co-ops with other teams who found themselves in the same boat.
Right now, Warwick Vets, which has one win this season, is the stateŌĆÖs smallest team with an amazingly low 10 players. ThatŌĆÖs down from the 16 the team began the season with. Tolman is next with 16 players, and thatŌĆÖs only because the Tigers added three juniors from the schoolŌĆÖs baseball team to the roster last week to create some sorely-needed depth.
East Providence, which is a team that has long been strong in numbers, has 18 players on its roster, but dressed just 16 this year. And Woonsocket has skated 17 players, but more than half of the team entered this season with limited or no hockey experience.
Graduation wonŌĆÖt hit any of these schools hard after this year (Tolman and E.P. will each lose the most players with four), but what happens if their numbers donŌĆÖt improve next winter? Tolman is already anticipating a second straight season with no freshmen joining its program!
Throwing in 15-minute periods is only to cripple these smaller teams, because that means that every team will certainly need to scrape up a somewhat productive third line that can handle a regular shift and an extra defenseman to help make up for those additional nine minutes a game.
And if some of these smaller teams are unsuccessful in doing this, you could be looking at an ugly brand of hockey that contains more injuries (notably to young, inexperienced players who may be ŌĆ£thrown into the fireŌĆØ), double-digits blowouts, and chippy penalties from those teams who may continually be on the other end of those lopsided scores.
Every division in boysŌĆÖ hockey should have a goal, and the goal for Division III should be to simply promote hockey among the many schools that canŌĆÖt field a 20-player roster and would most likely take a pounding in Division II.
An intelligent way to do this would be to keep the 12-minute periods, because 15-minute periods will only give the leagueŌĆÖs larger teams like the Johnston/North Providence co-op squad and Mount Hope (who ironically are 1-2 in the standings) a significant advantage by skating extra players and wearing down their smaller-sized opponents.
During the Division III playoffs, the periods are extended from 12 to 15 minutes, and as a result, itŌĆÖs the deeper clubs who can toss more quality skaters on the ice that usually win. Johnston/North Providence captured the championship last year, and Mount Hope won it all the previous March.
That being said, the playoff periods should also be dropped to 12 minutes each. After all, whatŌĆÖs good for the regular season should also be good for the postseason. Why change the rules and favor the larger teams?
And speaking of JNP and Mount Hope, their time to move up to Division II should come next season. The goal of Division II should be to produce a competitive league for teams that consistently draw more than 20 players and skate three quality lines and four or five defensemen, but arenŌĆÖt strong enough to hang with the ŌĆśbig boysŌĆÖ in Division I.
Cranston East is another big fish in a small pond. Take those three schools out, bring in winless Ponaganset, which has just 18 players this season, and Narragansett (19 players) from Division II, and you have a nice nine-team league that will fetch everyone a good 16-game schedule ŌĆō with 12-minute periods!
Why the six members of the committee favored the 15-minute periods is a mystery, and honestly, an idiotic decision. The RIILŌĆÖs mission on its web site is to promote attributes such as ŌĆ£fairness, honorable competition, activities that support healthy lifestylesŌĆØ ŌĆō do forcing Division III teams to play 15-minute periods support any of this?
The feeling here is that those six voters blindly approved of the longer periods, and if this is the case, they should do themselves a favor and go to Adelard Arena to attend tonightŌĆÖs 9 p.m. game between Tolman and Woonsocket.
They should count the players on each blue line during the national anthem and watch all 36 minutes of the game, and then ask themselves if tacking on an extra nine minutes was really the right thing to do. Wonder how many would want to change their vote?
As for girlsŌĆÖ hockey, there are only four teams that can realistically skate three lines and four defensemen and survive the rigors of 15-minute periods ŌĆō the three parochial schools (Mount St. Charles, Bay View, and La Salle) and the Burrilville/Ponaganset co-op team.
These four teams are obviously the cream of the crop in the state, and when they played 15-minute periods against each other last season, their level of play didnŌĆÖt miss a beat.
The haves and have nots are crystal clear in girlsŌĆÖ hockey, and while those teams and the lesser-talented three-team co-op clubs (Warwick, South County, Cranston, and East Bay) dress the max players each night, you have the three individual public school teams (North Smithfield, Lincoln, and Smithfield) who are lucky to skate 14 players.
There has been some talk at North Smithfield earlier this season of forming a co-op team as early as next season. With the news of playing 15-minute periods rushing through the girlsŌĆÖ ranks, those talks may be picking up steam, and it might do the Sentinels and Lions good to quickly get in on them or possibly face a nightmarish 2012-13 season.

Flyers' Read Grabs Goal In FinaleNews: Matt Read tallied the Flyers' lone goal in Saturday's season finale against the Senators. Analysis: Matt Read closed 2014-15 with eight goals and 30 points over 80 games. While he wasn't counted on to be much more than a complementary scorer heading into the season, Read failed to live up to even those modest expectations, as the goal total was less than half of what he posted a year earlier (22). Much of the blame for that decline probably lies in his 5.6 shooting percentage this season, which was nearly seven points less than his career mark.
Flyers' Read Adds Two Assists In WinNews: Matt Read recorded two assists in Wednesday's 4-1 win over the Blackhawks. Analysis: The winger now has seven goals and 22 assists through 73 games on the season, and should continue to play a depth role moving forward.
Flyers' Read Rejoins TeamNews: Matt Read (paternity) rejoined the Flyers on Friday, Tim Panaccio of CSN Philadelphia reports. Analysis: Matt Read missed the Flyers' previous two games while celebrating the birth of his daughter. Despite his lack of on-ice work this week, he still figures to be inserted back into the lineup Saturday against the Oilers.
Flyers' Read Expected Back SaturdayNews: Matt Read (paternity) isn't expected to rejoin the Flyers until the team heads to Edmonton for Saturday's game, Randy Miller of the Newark Star-Ledger reports. Analysis: That means that Matt Read will miss a second straight game Thursday in Calgary, allowing the newly-recalled Nick Cousins to make another appearance in his stead.
Flyers' Read Officially Out TuesdayNews: Matt Read (paternity) will not join the team in Vancouver for Tuesday's game, Elliott Pap of the Vancouver Sun reports. Analysis: With Matt Read back in Philadelphia to await the birth of his child, Nick Cousins is expected to enter the lineup for his NHL debut. It's unclear if Read will rejoin the team in advance of Thursday's tilt with the Flames.
Flyers' Read (Paternity) Heads Back To PhillyNews: Matt Read is heading back to Philadelphia on Monday due to the expected birth of a child. His return date remains unclear at this time. Analysis: Matt Read may be allotted a fair amount of time as the Flyers remain outside of the playoff picture. While his departure likely rules him out for Tuesday's game against the Canucks, Thursday's game can't be ruled out at this point. However, it seems more likely than not that he won't dress Thursday either.
Flyers' Read Notches Two HelpersNews: Matt Read collected a pair of assists and went plus-2 in Thursday's 3-1 win over the Flyers. Analysis: He was integral to the Flyers' mid-third-period rally, helping out on two goals within two minutes to turn a 1-0 deficit into a 2-1 lead. Matt Read's been a little more productive recently, with four points in his last five games, but even at his best he's of modest fantasy value.
Flyers' Read Pots Goal In WinNews: Matt Read opened the scoring with a goal in Saturday's 4-2 win over the Rangers. Analysis: With his first goal in the last seven games, Matt Read is now on pace for 30 points this season. That would be his lowest, full-season total in the NHL. His shot percentage is also at a career-low mark, so it could just be poor luck. Either way, he hasn't been a solid fantasy play this season.
Flyers' Read Contributes With GoalNews: Matt Read chipped in a goal in Sunday's 2-1 win over the Sabres. Analysis: After starting the season at a career-worst rate, Matt Read is heating up as he's registered a point in four straight. The forward's goal-scoring numbers are still well below average for what he's capable of, but he could be worthy of consideration in deeper leagues if he can keep up this recent level of play.
Flyers' Read Snaps Goal Drought In LossNews: Matt Read ended a 25-game goal drought Tuesday, scoring the lone Flyers' goal in an overtime loss to Montreal. Analysis: A good all-around game for Matt Read, who was credited with four shots on goal in the loss. While he's only got four goals on the season, he has points in back-to-back games and is playing much better of late. Read, who revealed in mid-January that he's been playing with a high-ankle sprain, could be worth adding down the stretch in some deep leagues. Playing on the second line, Read just needs to show some consistency and get over that long-term injury to return to his usual 20-goal form.

LONDON -- The official Olympic beverage is Coke. The official Olympic food is McDonald's. The official Olympics disease is Type 2 diabetes.
That's the joke going around the games. It's funny, at least until somebody mistakes you for a Bulgarian shot putter. Thankfully, there is one lonesome island in the sea of Olympic cholesterol.
— Sunday's schedule of events | Full Olympic medal count
The All England Lawn Tennis and Croquet Club, better known as Wimbledon.
Fans can get a gander at Roger Federer playing for Switzerland, but they can't get a Big Mac. Wimbledon is the only Olympic venue that hasn't been turned into a McDonald's outlet.
It wasn't for a lack of trying. As a top-tier sponsor, McDonald's had the right to plaster its presence everywhere the Olympic rings appear.
If it had its way, there would be a set of golden arches over Centre Court. That doesn't exactly jibe with the All England vibe.
The club is Great Britain's version of Augusta National, except that it allows women members. With its money, history, connections and prestige, it doesn't have to suck up to anybody.
When the Olympics came calling, Wimbledon was happy to make some alterations. The traditional dark-green walls are purple and lime green for the next couple of weeks.
When the issue of McDonald's came up, there reportedly was quite a row, as they say over here. There's a famous quotation above the players' entrance to Centre Court.
"If you can meet with triumph and disaster and treat those two impostors just the same." -- Rudyard Kipling.
Wimbledon feared it would be changed to "I'm lovin' it." -- Ray Kroc.
He turned a small burger operation into an international monolith.
McDonald's became so popular it airlifted burgers to the homesick U.S. team at the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France.
Mickey D's officially signed on as an Olympic sponsor in 1976. Back then, nobody made a big deal about the inherent contradiction.
In one hand, the Olympics promote fitness, health and hard bodies. How can it hold an Angus Chipotle BBQ Bacon Burger in the other?
Answer: $50 million.
That's reportedly what McDonald's ponies up per Olympiad. For that kind of money, the IOC would sign on with the Medellin cartel. The only difference is McDonald's would be more protective of its turf.
The British, you may have heard, eat a lot of chips. I'm pretty sure I saw a guy pouring milk into a bowl of chip cereal the other morning at breakfast.
Anyway, chips are really just French fries. Food vendors at Olympic Park were initially banned from serving them because McDonald's has official dibs on French fries.
Hungry workers could still get their traditional fish and chips. But they couldn't order only chips, lest the Sponsor Police swoop in, abscond their contraband and make them bow three times to the world's largest McDonald's.
It's in the middle of the Olympic Park, all 3,000 square feet. When it opened last week, honchos touted the most diverse and healthy Olympic menu ever. There are Spicy Veggie Wraps, which can be washed down with delicious organic milk.
Who were they kidding?
I spent 10 minutes in line Sunday and saw roughly 123 Big Macs woofed down for every Happy Meal carrot stick.
That's fine by me, if not by cardiologists. Earthlings everywhere crave junk food, and the Olympics are the perfect advertising platform.
But as the smell of hot grease wafts over Olympic Park, let us raise a glass of organic milk and raise a toast.
Here's to you, Wimbledon.
The one place Ronald McDonald is not allowed.

« Things I Won't Work With: Small, Smelly Isocyanides |
| Malcolm Gladwell on Synta and Oncology »
Posted by Derek
I find the President's Cancer Panel report -at least, the general tone of it - hard to believe. Most of the headlines yesterday focused on the "grievous harm", "bombarding", and "grossly underestimated" statements, and suggested that there was an epidemic of environmentally-caused cancer. Since most age-adjusted cancer incidence rates have, in fact, been dropping, I find this a bit hard to believe.
Here's the whole report (whopping PDF). Update: that link may be bad - try here. It actually does mention that cancer rate data, but (as far as I can see) just sort of blows right past it. And while I take the point that endocrine disruptors and the like need to be watched (and that we really do need to study these things more), I don't see why the alarm bells need to be rung quite this loudly.
I see that the American Cancer Society seems to agree. My own views are closer to those of Bruce Ames (PDF) than to the President's panel. We should always be alert to possible environmental causes of cancer, but we should also realize that (as far as we can tell) they seem to be relatively minor.

This is an area where non-experts, such as Derek Lowe by his own admission, should not be commenting. His off-the-cuff opinion offer nothing of substance to this debate, and his reasonsing is non-existent and shallow.
I also am a chemist and biochemist, and believe that environemental chemicals can and do pose large risks to human health and society's welfare. Just look at the great number of women who have or will have breast cancer over their lifetimes, something that has been classified as an epidimic in itself, and almost certainly contributed to by environmental insults.
Derek need so know when to keep his opinions to himself. This is one area he should do just that.

Yeah, Derek! You've got no right to offer non-expert, off-the-cuff opinions on this stuff!
In contrast, it's perfectly acceptable for anonymous blog commenters to offer their own non-expert, off-the-cuff opinions, right Anon?

I'm sorry, but apparently I've had too much sleep to understand your comment. Are you saying that because his opinion disagrees with yours [excuse me, because it's devoid of reasoning (snicker)], he should discuss them on his own blog? Because if so, you've been either hanging out with Karl Rove too much or need to have the air quality in your home checked.
As a side note, wouldn't a respectable opinion on someone else's reasoning skills require some of one's own (and testimony to that effect)? Just saying.

I'm much more interested in Derek's opinion on the matter than Anon #1's, primarily because his opinions include links to the literature where I can read directly what the experts have to say on the matter. Those experts (the American Cancer Society and a Molecular Biol. team out Berkeley and LBL) appear to be more concerned about having a disproportionately large focus on environmental causes of cancer rather than a disproportionally small one. Anyone have any authoritative links for the opposite opinion?

Derek, thanks for your opinion and thanks for the link to the Ames paper.
Anon #1, did you read the Bruce Ames pdf, or is Dr. Ames also unqualified to comment? Should we assume that Anon #1 and Jimmy Carter have devoted many decades to cancer research and together have >500 publications in the field, like Dr. Ames?
Pray tell, Mr. Anon #1, what is it that you bring to the table that lets me trust your anonymous assurances over the evidence cited by Dr. Ames?

Thanks very much to Derek for the link to the Ames paper.
First, it's obviously notable anytime the American Cancer Society feels compelled say that a new report about the dangers of cancer may be overstated.
Second, the Ames paper is amazingly on-point in rebutting the PCP report even though it was written 8 years ago. "Misconception #2: Environmental synthetic chemicals are an important cause of human cancer."... "Misconception #4: Human exposures to carcinogens and other potential hazards are primarily to synthetic chemicals." .
Third, one possible small reason for the discrepancy in the two sources (the Ames .pdf and the PCP report) is different ways of looking at hormonally-related cancers. The Ames paper says that environmental contamination with synthetic chemicals are not as important as hormonal imbalances in causing cancer. The PCP report says that some synthetic chemicals contaminating the environment cause hormonal imbalances. Thus the PCP seems to be saying that synthetic chemicals can contribute to some cancers by interfering with normal hormonal processes. Thus some cancers that Ames et al. does not treat as environmentally related may in fact be justifiably attributed to environmental factors. But I am no expert here. This is just one possibility that came to mind as I skimmed to two documents.
Third, I wonder how the Presidential Cancer Panelists feel about the American Cancer Society's response to their report. Can anyone point me to public commentary by members of the Presidential Cancer Panel about reaction to the report?

It's interesting to see what different countries tend to agonise about in (presumably) irrational ways. With the US it's cancer. Cancer rates, corrected for age, have been declining for decades but still the US has a fetish about cancer, a War on Cancer, a Presidential Panel on Cancer, and the like. I wonder whether the French obsession about their bowels might be a cheaper addiction to feed.
13. dearieme on May 8, 2010 9:21 AM writes...
By the way, about that Ames paper: he offers the standard line, as of 2002, on the effect of eating fruit and vegetables on cancer risks. That's now in some doubt, apparently.

In an effort to better understand the relationship between environmental exposures and cancer, my colleagues and I just completed the most extensive review of death certificates and life histories that has ever been conducted in the US. We traveled to local government records offices in over 250 municipalities in all 50 states to review 10,342 death certificates of individuals who died of cancer between 1879 to 2010.
One of the most remarkable findings of our study was that within this study population, multiple death certificates had been filed for only 234 individuals, indicating a >99% (p = 0.001) protective effect against cancer of having died previously from some other cause. Thus the widespread adoption of childhood vaccinations, the widespread use of antibiotics and anti-hypertensive drugs, and the wholesale chlorination of our water supply are revealed as having undermined the anticancer protective effects of natural processes such as diptheria, smallpox, tuberculosis, bacterial infections, cholera, and heart disease.
Indeed, the insidious and relentless increase in life expectancy in this country (7 years since 1960) has regrettably and unnecessarily enhanced our exposure to old age, the most important risk factor for developing this awful disease.
Remarkably, the small population who died of cancer subsequently to having died of some other cause were united in being identified on their death certificate by name only, without a social security number. A majority of these people were named Smith or Jones, suggesting the presence of some shared familial trait. We are currently working to investigate the nature of this genetic factor as well as the mechanism by which registering with the Social Security Agency eliminates the anticancer protective effect of having died previously.

I really don't get why we wouldn't err on the side of safety here. We're spraying methyl iodide on crops in California now--if I were to design a carcinogen, that'd probably be one of the first scaffolds I'd choose. I guess my point is that, well, 1) we know that "chemicals" (I try to tell public health crusaders that scientists laugh when you say that word) can definitively cause cancer, through cigarette smoke, radon, burnt meat, asbestos, nickel compounds, etc; 2) Most human blood samples contain questionable amounts of mutagens, endocrine disruptors, and most importantly, many compounds of which the biological effects are totally unknown; 3) There's reasonable evidence to include that some carcinogen-exposed occupations and regions have higher rates of cancer. Would it be expensive to regulate all the compounds in products--yes. But for the, say, 1,000 compounds we're exposed to most, plus every new compound on the market, at least an Ames test and exposing/1 year monitoring of ~30 mice--probably feasible at $100,000 per compound if done with any throughput--and then finding less-carcinogenic replacements for the bad ones--we'd have a much better idea of what we're dealing with. It'd be hard, and expensive, and even if it only reduced cancer rates by 5% by getting a few bad eggs off the market, that'd be 20,000 lives saved a year, and probably $2 billion in healthcare spending saved. That's all.

The numbers I have seen and which are quoted in part in the ACS report on this subject (caonline.amcancersoc.org/cgi/reprint/59/6/343) suggest that only single digit percentages of cancer in Americans are caused by occupational exposures, and that the overwhelming majority of these are due to asbestos. The most important exogenous carcinogen exposures faced by most Americans appear to be cigarette smoke and dietary fat, probably followed by heterocyclic amines formed in cooked meat.
This makes sense if you think about it. First, the environment has already been cleaned up to a remarkable extent since the 1960's (when I was a kid you used to read about urban waterways catching fire), and there has been no corresponding substantial dropoff in cancer rates. Second, only a minority of cancer patients treated with multiple cycles of near-fatal doses of DNA damaging agents develop secondary cancers. Third, even lifelong smokers, who deliberately concentrate and inhale high concentrations of known carcinogens 15 or more times a day have an 83% chance of NOT dying of lung cancer.

It is strong stuff, but it is also stuff experts in cancer epidemiology have known for a long time.

From my perspective, the report is a mixed bag, mostly good but not all.

Anyone know what the cancer rates are in chemists vs. normal population. I've always wondered this as we actually are in a position to have chance exposures to numerous chemicals.
Of course when you look at the Ames paper oxidative stress/chronic inflammation are a significant cause, and it's not like the average bench chemist working the hours we do under the expectations we do aren't in a state of stress which cause these conditions.
25. Vader on May 10, 2010 10:28 AM writes...
"nyone know what the cancer rates are in chemists vs. normal population."
Not sure what to make of the idea of chemists being part of the abnormal population.
But I believe a study was done at Los Alamos on local cancer rates, due to a scare from a cluster of brain tumors. The conclusion was that this population of people, who presumably had an unusually high occupational exposure to potential carcinogens, had an overall lower cancer rate than the general population. The brain tumor cluster was just that, a random statistical fluctuation.

Hello friends -
As noted by Sili, David Gorski has another interesting take on this paper at science based medicine today.
One thing that seems to be in conflict here is the idea of a strict decline in cancer rates. According to Gorski (and, presumably, the paper), rates of childhood cancers are rising in manners that are not possible to explain via genetics and/or improved diagnostics. He gives a lot of attention towards the difference between adult exposure to chemicals and developmental exposure.
I'd also note that anytime the ACSH comes out against policy recommendations, I know someone has made a sensible argument that likely will affect health for the better.

Benzene: so carcinogenic it is practially banned from laboratories.
But it makes up a significant (and volatile) fraction of gasoline.
But no one in the US thinks twice about exposure to this carcinogen when they fill their gas tank once-twice weekly. Even pregnant women are not worried.
Since Americans began filling their own gas tanks in the '80's, has no one tried to do epidemiologic studies to see if that exposure can be hazardous?

@28- I don't think Dr. Gorski addressed whether or not the decline in childhood mortality from other causes (e.g., infectious diseases) could account for the increase in cancer diagnoses.
That is one possible explanation.
I suspect it will turn out to be a combination of factors- some increased risk due to crap in the environment, some apparent increased risk due to not dying of pertussis, etc. But that is just my only marginally educated guess.

#24, the Royal Society of Chemistry did a study of cancer in chemists in the 1970's, and found moderately elevated rates of leukemia and pancreatic cancer. The overall level of cancer was lower and life expectancy was higher than in the general population, which was explained as being part of the well known phenomenon of cancer rates being lower in more educated and affluent populations.
While the study included people who were not organic chemists and even some managers, this is probably more than offset by the abysmal chemical hygiene practices of the era. I think a lot of labs did not even have fume hoods until the mid to late 1960s.
33. Phil on May 12, 2010 4:45 PM writes...
#29 "Benzene: so carcinogenic it is practially banned from laboratories."
Stay away from my lab, I have a 250 mL bottle sitting in my hood.
This addresses an issue that was brought up earlier: chemists may very well NOT have any higher risk of cancer due to chemical exposure because we are trained in the use of personal protective equipment. Migrant farm workers who practically bathe in pesticides aren't as lucky.
It's not scientists who are trained to work with hazardous chemicals who are in the most danger, it's the blue collar workers in factories or auto shops or wherever chemicals are used without strict safety policy.
I still have to side with Derek in my gut reaction to this study. Overall, chemical exposure seems not to be a worry for the average individual.
34. Morten G on May 27, 2010 7:45 PM writes...
Since when does this blog treat cancer as one disease?
There was a lot more environmental pollution 50 years ago so if the overall cancer rates have declined since then doesn't that indicate a connection between overall cancer rates and environmental factors?
If we break it down to individual cancers, testicular cancer rates more than doubled during the 25 year period from 1977 to 2002 in South Australia. You get testicular cancer usually between 15 and 40 years old so age is not a risk factor.

Homeless Outreach
The Salvation Army is a leader in services to Chicago's homeless population. The Harbor Light Center serves as the base of operations for our outreach ministry – Mobile Feeding and Mobile Outreach.
Mobile Feeding
Every night The Salvation Army's Mobile Feeding Unit makes 24 stops throughout Chicago to provide a hot meal for men, women and families who find themselves spending their nights sleeping on the streets. We serve more than 800 meals each day – nearly a quarter of a million meals in a year. But those we reach get more than a hearty bowl of soup, bread, beverage and snack; they make a friend. They haven't been forgotten; they are cared about and loved.
The Mobile Feeding Unit stops at the following sites daily 11 a.m. – 8 p.m. (unless otherwise noted)
- Madison & Sacramento (Saturday and Sunday only)
- Lake & Kedzie
- 10 South Kedzie (Saturday and Sunday only)

Mobile Outreach
The Salvation Army's Mobile Outreach program provides much more than a warm, hearty meal. This team, including two caseworkers, provides a meal and on-site support for those in need – immediate transportation to shelter, enrollment in Salvation Army programs and services, and/or referral to substance abuse detox, medical care or other needed services.
The Mobile Outreach Units makes stops Monday through Friday, 9 a.m. – 5:30 p.m. at the following locations:
- Marine Drive & Wilson
- Madison & Sacramento
- North Avenue through California (Humboldt Park)
- Washenew & Congress

Severe TextField WordWrap Bug in Flash Player version 10.3.183.5
There is a severe TextField bug in current Flash Player version 10.3.183.5, causing text to display vertically with each letter on each line in TextField instances where the wordWrap property has been set to true.
This causes a concern for the Flash Platform in general, because this shows that existing code is basically held hostage to future Adobe Flash Player updates that may break past deployed code. I would expect Adobe QA to be more rigorous than this.
This issue can be found in the bugbase, but while marked as fixed, it is not:
Being an inherent player bug that causes problems to past deployed code, this is not something that can be fixed by using "workaround code".
The problem is severe enough to warrant a quick update to version 10 (or pull 10.3.183.5 from further distribution), but Adobe has chosen to fix it only in version 11 BETA instead. I don't think this is acceptable.

NFL: Pittsburgh vs Tennessee
Taking Pittsburgh here. Chris Johnson was a huge piece for the Titans and he just isn't nearly the same player he once was. That combined with how well Roethlisberger has been playing and the Steelers having Mendenhall back should lead to a Steelers win.
5 more hours until FOOTBALL!!!
Tennessee won with a FG at the end, we wrong I guess, 26 to 23.
What a bad game for Pitt. Their defense looked terrible, Mendenhall gets injured in his second game back from an injury, their O-line was non existent. Not good.

The Salvation Army of Martin County partners with Macy's for 8th Annual Shop for a Cause
STUART - Ladies (and gentlemen), it's time to shop till you drop – all for a good cause! Macy's will partner with The Salvation Army of Martin County to invite customers to participate in Macy's eighth annual national "Shop For A Cause" charity shopping event on Aug. 24. Customers can purchase shopping passes from The Salvation Army of Martin County now. By purchasing a shopping pass from The Salvation Army of Martin County, customers support a deserving local charity while enjoying a day of spectacular discounts, entertainment and special events at Macy's. Pass holders will receive special discounts on most regular, sale and clearance purchases all day, but some exclusions apply.
Lt. Andrea Hoover, Corps Officer for The Salvation Army, explains. "Macy's has provided The Salvation Army of Martin County with shopping passes to sell for $5 each. We will keep 100 percent of every shopping pass we sell. Obviously, the more passes that The Salvation Army can sell, the more money we will raise."
Macy's "Shop For A Cause" is a unique one-day-only shopping event created to support local charities' fundraising efforts, which has helped raised more than $46 million for charities across the country since 2006.
"Over the past eight years, Macy's annual 'Shop For A Cause' has raised more than $46 million for local and national charities, providing our associates and customers an opportunity to give back to those organizations that touch their hearts each and every day," said Martine Reardon, Macy's chief marketing officer. "Giving back is a key component of Macy's culture. We are honored to offer our customers an easy and convenient way to make a positive difference in their communities and in the lives of others, while enjoying great savings at Macy's."
Lt. Hoover noted that the funds raised through Shop For A Cause will help The Salvation Army during a typically slow time of year. "Like many charities on the Treasure Coast, we experience a downturn in donations during the summer months," she said. "The funds raised through this fun shopping event will help us to keep the air-conditioning and refrigerators running for those families in need during the heat," she added. "Additionally, Compassion House, our transitional housing facility for women and children is operating at near capacity right now."
For more information about Macy's "Shop For A Cause," visit httip://macys.com/shopforacause. To purchase a shopping pass from The Salvation Army of Martin County, please call 772-288-1471 ext 202 or visit http://www.salvationarmystuart.org.

Beyonce Knowles – singer, dancer, actress, entrepreneur…makeup artist and hair stylist?
Beyonce has always had a love of makeup and hair. She recently told People magazine that she could still remember playing with her mother's makeup when she was a little girl.
"I was playing in my mother's makeup," she told the magazine. "I had blue eye shadow and red lips, and I put crazy blush on. I looked like a clown, but I thought I was so beautiful."
While her makeup palette may have changed, she told People that she still likes to do her own makeup and often does for appearances. She does her own hair as well.
"I like to experiment [with my hair]," she said. "I love playing around with highlights or bleaching the tips. I can cut and style my own hair."
She's not kidding. She recently cut two inches off of her ends, People reports.
"I just parted it in the middle and chh-chh-chh," she said.
This may sound surprising to some. After all, with celebrities frequently shelling out thousands of dollars for hair and makeup teams to get them ready for events, one would expect Beyonce - one of the most successful artists in the world - to do the same. For the megastar, it isn't so out of the ordinary. She grew up spending time in her mother's salon and by doing so she learned a lot about beauty.
However, she took the time to explain to the magazine that she doesn't value external beauty as much as she does inner beauty. As a new mother, that concept is something that she hopes to instill in her daughter.
"My biggest thing is to teach [Blue] not to focus on the aesthetic," she says. "It's really about who you are, and the human being, that makes you beautiful."
Knowles shouldn't have any trepidation about being a good role model for her four-month-old daughter, Blue Ivy. In fact, none other than First Lady Michelle Obama, recently praised the singer via Twitter for being just that.
@Beyonce Thank you for the beautiful letter and for being a role model who kids everywhere can look up to. –mo

Ive run crankcase evacs to my headers for years, through mufflers, on the street as well.
Never had a problem, made all the leaks and blowing caps go away.
If you go that way, braided is fine, but dont buy the moroso kit or Jegs. Got to Napa and get a couple of EGR valves for a Ford Pinto, one 4 inch X 1/2 pipe nipple from home depot, cut the nipple in half at a 45 and your done.
I do weld an extra backer on my collector the nipple goes through just for good measure. Ilooked at vacuum pumps, crank an electric, cant justify the cost against the effectiveness of the header evacs.
They will tell you it smokes, especially running through mufflers. Mine never has, anymore than any other car when your running the piss out of it.
