Humanities institute names 17 fellows
Seventeen faculty members, graduate students and undergraduate students have been named as inaugural fellows for The Institute for Advanced Studies in the Humanities (IASH).
"We have a fantastic group of fellows," said Bat-Ami Bar On, IASH director and professor of philosophy and women's studies. "It's diverse in terms of projects."
IASH was formed last year to advance original work in the humanities while offering faculty and students opportunities for research. The fellows will present a lecture on their research topic during the upcoming academic year and also will be expected to participate in the discussion of the work of others.
"It will be interesting how we learn about each other and how we can help each other intellectually," Bar On said. "There is value added to being with others and chatting about the work."
Bar On said she is pleased that student fellows will be able to share their work with faculty fellows.
"Research goes all the way through the University — all the way to the undergraduate ranks," she said. "The undergrads are not just absorbing knowledge, but they are producers of knowledge."

Turbulence, violence in the Middle East
Mother and child hurt by Bahrain anti-government protesters bomb explosion
A Bahraini woman 35, is severely hurt in the eye and face, besides being injured in scattered parts of the body by a gas cylinder that was ignited near their house by Bahraini anti-government protesters. The cylinder was placed adjacent to their house and upon ignition the cylinder flew to hit a window.
The mother had moved with her son to a room at the back of the house, seeking shelter from riots on the road in front of the house. What she did not know that the rioter had placed a gas cylinder at the back of the house and set it on fire. The exploding cylinder flew into the window and the explosion was so strong that the aluminum frame of the window came off and pieces of the window penetrated the faces and bodies of the mother and the son. The mother was just discharged from the ICU. Her son, 10, was badly hurt as well.
The mother narrates: I was alone with the children at home. When the explosion hit us, I fainted for some time. I then regained consciousness but could not see. I was in pain and incapable of moving. My son kept repeating: don't die, mother! Don't leave me! I managed to reach a phone and I rang my sister to seek help.
The mother had severe cuts in the face and many cuts all over her body. She has had an operation this morning. Her face is fully covered she has 120 stitches on her face.
Her son got six pieces of glass taken out of his eye alone. He had pieces of glass removed from other parts of his body; some in the head reached the skull, slightly penetrating it.

It was a warm Friday night right at the end of June when I was babysitting for Luke and Jamie, friends of my aunt's. Their daughter, Lisa, was an adorable five year old. I had already put her to bed and she had been sleeping soundly for about an hour when Luke and Jamie returned home, earlier than expected.
"Hi Wendy! We're home early." Laura called out as they entered the front door.
Luke and Laura entered the room. I stood, straightening my shirt, which was rumpled from vegging on the sofa. "How was Ashley?" She asked.
"Fantastic, like usual." She fished out two twenties and handed them to me.
"Oh no, that's too much..." I said. I had only been there for three hours or so.
"No no, take it... you just graduated from high school, right? Go out for dinner with your boyfriend or something." Laura closed my hand around the bills.
Luke entered the room just as I said, "Oh, I don't have a boyfriend... but thanks."
Luke spoke up: "Wendy, have you found a job yet?" He asked.
I had told them previously I was looking for summer work to save up for college, which I was starting in September. "No, but I'm still looking..."
Laura turned to Luke and said, "See, it's perfect..."
I tilted my head quizzically. Laura turned back to me. "Luke and I were talking, and we might have something for you, if you're interested... Luke works at home, in the office we built above the garage, as you know, and he needs an assistant, the work is starting to get backed up."
I knew that Luke was in advertising. He designed magazine ads. "Really?" I said, turning to him.
I was going into a marketing program, and this would be perfect for a summer job. He nodded.
"Why don't you two go chat in your office and discuss it?" Laura suggested.
Luke appeared to think about it for a moment, and then nodded. He gestured towards the door, and we headed out back. Up a flight of stairs alongside the detached garage, and a moment for him to unlock the door, flick on a light switch, and held the door open for me.
It was the first time I had been in the room. Hardwood floors, brightly lit by halogen spots, beautiful tan colored leather furniture. It looked like a really nice environment to work in. I turned around to comment on the room, but was startled to find him standing very close to me. Automatically, I stepped back a few paces—and began to fall backwards as I bumped into a low table.
Strong arms grabbed me just in time, and I found myself in Luke's embrace. For a long moment we stared into each other's eyes. I had never seen such intensity before. Flushing, I mumbled a thank you, and tried to step away from him. But his arms held me tight. I tried to pull away, a little bit harder, but to no avail.
Our eyes met again, and this time a tingle of fear stirred in my gut. All of a sudden his lips were on mine, rough, insistent. I was so surprised that I offer no resistance as he thrust his tongue into my mouth. However, my surprise turned to disgust as his he ground my face into his with one hand on my neck, fingers pulling at my long hair, and his other hand moved down to my ass, mashing my hips against his, and I felt his throbbing erection under his dress pants, through my jeans and panties. Planting my hands on his chest, I firmly pushed away.
"WHAT are you DOING?" I blurted out.
His arms were still around me, his hands now firmly clasped around my waist. I became aware of what a huge man he was, especially compared to my petite frame. It was obvious that he worked out, for he was 100% muscle.
"You need a job, right?" He sneered at me. I was so shocked, for he was always so friendly. Right now he seemed like an entirely different person. "This is the interview."
I paused for a moment, absorbing his words. Then I began to struggle out of his arms. "Not like this, I don't need it." I said.
"Don't you?" He whispered, right in my ear. I could feel his hot breath on the side of my face. "Your aunt told us your parents were in some financial trouble. If you don't find a decent summer job, you won't be going to college. Now, you don't want to live at home, working menial part time jobs forever, right?" I hesitated. What he said was true. But that didn't mean I was willing to let him do what he wanted.
"I don't care... get off me, or I'll report you..." I was cut off by a hard pinch to my side, where his hand felt like it was burning my skin beneath my shirt.
"Who will you report me to? You know that my brother is on the police force. This is a small town; no one will believe you." I pushed my face away again and looked him in the eyes. My god, he was right.
Before I could say anything else, his lips were on mine again. I didn't resist or respond, because all of a sudden I realized the predicament I was in. There was no way out.
He spun us around and pressed me against the door, his body pressed up against mine. His lips traveled down my neck, and when he encountered my tank top in the way, he simply gripped the neck opening with both hands and in one swift motion, ripped it right down the middle. Pushing it roughly down both arms to my elbows, he gripped the material in one hand and used it to partially restrain my movement. My breasts were now covered only by a thin cotton bra. The pressure and friction of his body against mine caused my nipples to harden and I knew he could feel them through his shirt. His other hand slipped between us and rubbed my mound, through the two layers of the fabric from my jeans and underwear. I gasped as he stimulated me roughly. "That's a good girl, Wendy."
I shook my head in dissent, but he ignored me. His hand slipped up from my mound and began to work on my fly. It took him a moment but it wasn't long before he undid the button at the waist and worked the zipper down. His other hand pulled the ripped shirt down over my hands, and it fell to the floor as he used both hands to push my jeans down below my hips. I struggled a little as he forced me to step out of my jeans, but I quickly gave up when he pinched me again, this time on the inside of my thigh. He stepped back for a moment, and looked at me in my white cotton bra and panties. My slide-on sandals had been lost moments ago, and were tangled in my crumpled jeans on the floor. I stood, in fear, in embarrassment and in absolute shock over this turn of events..
He undressed himself as his eyes roamed over my bare skin. First he unbuttoned his shirt, slowly at first, but then faster as his gaze fell on the damp crotch of my panties and then my nipples poking out from the bra. His shirt fell to the floor, and then he undid his belt.
"Are you a virgin, Wendy?" He asked.
I mumbled a yes. His hands worked quicker, and then he was naked. His cock stood straight out from his body, and the size of it must have caused me to pale in fear. That seemed to turn him on.
In one step he was pressed up against me again, forcing his tongue in my ear, then travelling down my neck. I jumped when he bit me, hard enough to hurt, on the shoulder, and then he knelt down on his knees and buried his face between my breasts. His hands kneaded them, and his tongue ran sloppily over my cleavage as his pushed both my breasts towards the centre. He undid the clasp in the front and then the bra joined the rest of my clothes on the floor. Still kneading my left breast roughly, he took my right nipple into his mouth and began to suck on it, his hand pushing as much of it as possible into his mouth.
I was sickened by the wetness of his saliva, and even more so by the way my body as beginning to respond. I could feel a slight dampness building up in my pussy. "Please, don't do this..." I whispered.
He ignored me. He played with my breasts for a while, and I closed my eyes and tried to block out both the fear and the physical sensations. Despite myself, I was getting aroused. It was obvious he could tell, which only seemed to increase his passion for me. When I thought my breasts were about to wear out, he stood again. I opened my eyes to find him staring at me. He leaned close to my face, and said, "Suck me off."
I automatically began to shake my head no, but he placed his hands on my shoulders and roughly pushed me to my knees. The dull pain from the impact barely hit me as he grabbed my hair with one hand and forced his cock into my mouth with the other. I gagged as he shoved it in, all the way in, his hairy testicles touching my chin. He gripped handfuls of hair and began to fuck my face. Tears welled up and fell freely to the floor. I didn't know what hurt more, his hands pulling at my hair, my lips stretched tight around his meat, or my dizziness from the motion. Even though I had my eyes closed, I could feel his gaze on me, watching my head bob up and down on his huge cock.
"I can tell you like this, bitch." He said, more to himself then to me. His pace began to quicken and I thought he was about to cum in my mouth. Let him cum, I thought. Then maybe this would all be over with.
But at the last moment he pulled out of my mouth. Still gripping my hair, he turned my face up to look at him.
"Your turn."
He grabbed my wrist and dragged me to my feet, the pushed me over to a large sheepskin area rug. He shoved me roughly down to the floor, and before I realized what was happening his balls were dangling above my nose and his lips were on my pussy, his fingers pulling the crotch of my panties out of his way. My arms were pressed to the floor by his muscular calves, and as he began to kiss my mound and nibble at my outer lips, he alternatively ground his balls onto my face and rubbed his hard cock on my breasts.
I closed my eyes to block it out, but then all I could feel was his lips on my cunt and the texture of his testicles on my cheek. He split me open with his hands and ran his wet, sloppy tongue along my slit, and my hips thrusted up involuntarily. He took the opportunity slip his hands under me and squeezed my ass cheeks, then pulled my panties down to my knees, and shoved his face deeper into my pussy.
I moaned in spite of myself, and I knew the wetness down there wasn't just his saliva. He ate me out, roughly, at times painfully, but to my dismay my body responded. I could feel the muscles in my body beginning to tense as I rose towards climax. He kept working on my slit with his tongue, so wet and hot, as I came once, then quickly began coming again.
I was in the throes of my second orgasm when he removed his balls from my face and all of a sudden he was between my legs, his hands pinning my wrists to the floor, his cock probing for the entrance to my vagina. I tried futily to struggle for a moment, but we both knew he was too strong for me.
I felt the head of his penis slip into my wet pussy, and he paused there for a moment. He waited long enough that I opened my eyes to see what was going on, and apparently he wanted to look me in the eye as he fully inserted himself because as soon as my gaze met his he slammed all the way into me. I let out a half-scream, and he began fucking me slowly, sliding partially out of me and then all the way in again. He released my hands (there was no use struggling any more), and slipped both of his under my ass, the weight of his upper body pressing me to the soft carpet, pulling my hips against his harder and harder with every thrust.
"Oh yeah... you're so tight..." He mumbled. He began to grunt with every thrust as he fucked me harder.
It was a crazy mix of pain and pleasure, the pain from losing my virginity and the friction from the carpet and the weight of him pressing down on me, yet at the same time his huge cock sliding in and out of me felt so incredibly good.
"Are you a slut, Wendy?" He grunted into my ear.
I couldn't help myself. "Yes, yes I am... I'm your slut."
This turned him on even more and he began thrusting even harder and faster than before. Finally I felt his cock start to twitch, and then he collapsed on top of me, near crushing me with his weight as he squirted hot cum deep inside of me. I shed hot tears as he got up and began to get dressed...
"You can start Monday."
... to be continued...

As part of its "Insider's Guide to Downtown Issue", Indianapolis Monthly did a full page spread this month featuring Yours Truly discussing four major forthcoming projects: the JW Marriott complex, the convention center expansion, the Indy Cultural Trail, and the Superbowl.
While I thought the editors did a good job of capturing the essence of what we discussed, the format limited the space available to only a few sentences for each project. So I thought I'd give a more complete version here. No, this won't be a famous Urbanophile "N Part In Depth Review", but just a quick look at the good and bad of the projects, which Indianapolis is very fortunate to have funded and under construction in the current economy.
JW Marriott Hotel
The Good:
- This complex will be an economic juggernaut. With 1,600 rooms in the main complex + another 600 in the existing Marriott, this own grouping can provide a Chicago or Atlanta sized block of rooms, putting the city in the running for business meetings it previously could not host. The main tower alone will have 1,000 rooms.
- The 34 story main tower will add to the skyline significantly on the west side of downtown
- The main tower is probably the most interesting of any downtown skyscraper. I like the arced shape, which again echoes the library expansion, the steel arches on I-465 at 71st and 86th St., and of course Monument Circle. This sort of acts as a bookend to that side of downtown.
- It will bring major critical mass to what is down a relatively empty area.
- Kudos to Dean White who was responsive to the desire for better architecture, and his willingness to iterate the design concept multiple times.
The Bad:
- The secondary towers are very bland. They look like suburban interstate highway hotels and don't blend with the main tower at all.
- The complex is inward facing and does not engage well with the street at all. It is yet another downtown campus.
- The facade is, well, blue. Very blue. During the day I think there's a risk this will end up looking like a slightly more transparent version of the Gold Building. OTOH, at night, the transparency makes this look very nice.
Convention Center Expansion
The Good:
- A solid, workmanlike, unpretentious building like many in Indianapolis.
- The new entrance on Georgia St. will frame the street and be a nice focal point.
- The new space will surely generate economic ROI
The Bad:
- One word: boring.
- The interior renderings show a very dull space. I sure hope that, at a minimum, they dramatically improve lighting, as well as spruce up the existing dowdy space.
- With the airport project showing the way for how the architecture of major civic spaces can transform a person's perception of a city, I can't help but consider this a major opportunity lost for the city to create another signature design. Especially at the price tag, Indy deserved better. And I know that Ratio Architects has better in them, since they've done some great local work like the LEED Gold certified KIB building.
Indy Cultural Trail
The Good:
- The Trail is everything Indianapolis should be looking to do. It is world class, innovative, looks right in the local context, is environmentally friendly, is helping to reposition the city for 21st century success, and should generate major economic benefits. This is a home run for the city.
- Taking 18-36 feet of road away from cars and giving it to people.
- Separate paths for bikes and pedestrians along much of the length.
- High quality art work along the trail, much of it bespoke commissions.
- Links disconnected subdistricts of downtown, and serves as the downtown hub of the greenway systems.
- Significant upgrade of city infrastructure. About $20 million of the $55 million price tag is actually pure infrastructure improvement, including replacing aging sewer lines and such
- Use of rain gardens for stormwater detention.
- High density, low mast street lighting makes a dramatic impact on the city and creates a 24 hour space.
- Financed with primarily private dollars, notably very generous contributions from Gene and Marilyn Glick, with some federal grants. No local tax dollars are involved beyond in kind contributions from the city
- $3 million endowment to be established to maintain the Trail over time.
- Private non-profit organization Indianapolis Cultural Trail, Inc. chartered to manage, maintain, and market the Trail over time.
The Bad:
- The trail is overly festooned with logos and signage, but I guess that's the price we pay for a privately financed civic amenity.
- I wish the budget had been increased in order to replace the stop light mast arms with the versions used in the Wholesale District. This is a big gap in the project, IMO, since not only would that have been a huge upgrade, it would be helped establish those as a city standard.
Super Bowl 2012
The Good:
- The renderings of the Super Bowl village on the streets were conceptual drawings for the sales cycle, so we shall see what the real ones look like. I do like the idea of covering the streets, and the potential for reuse of modular canopy units.
- There is no doubt in my mind that the city will execute on this. Nobody hosts events like Indianapolis
- Call me crazy, but I think there's a possibility Indy could blow this thing out of the water and potentially be a semi-regular cold weather city host.
- The East Side legacy project.
- Mostly privately funded project.
- I believe this will be a major coming out party for Indianapolis.
The Bad:
- The current economy means that a lot of the spin-off development won't happen. The Super Bowl would have been a major impetus to get some projects done, but without financing, many plans won't happen, alas.
- There's a risk that preparing for what is, after all, only a two week event will suck up bandwidth that should be going to other critical issues.
I also noted that there is a gap that needs to be filled. Namely the streets around Lucas Oil Stadium need major streetscape upgrades. The concrete plaza around the stadium is also quite weak. These are clear evidence of the budget challenges on the project because the city did it right with Conseco Fieldhouse where it extend the Wholesale District streetscape concept. In addition to doing this around LOS, the power lines need to be buried. Part of this should include a power-line free South St.
For those who prefer the print edition, the feature is on page 63 of the August issue. Thanks to Indy Monthly for the feature, and for doing such a fair job of representing what I said in distilled form.

Bear Assault Review
Where to buy
from $300
Version: 2010 Bear Assault
Pros: Light weight (3.9 lbs), Can actually do a 31 inch DL, dual string stops, some of the best customer service I've ever dealt with out of a bow company, and thin grip.
Cons: The finish could have been a bit better quality. As with most bows out today the IBO rating is a bit overestimated. The string stoppers seem to wear quickly.
Full review:
Easy draw cycle ending with a solid back wall. The IBO was rated a bit higher but most companies seem to be doing that. I happened to like the thin grip but some people don't. I've owned one since they have came out and had yet to have any major problems with it. Some people complain the string stops wear but I shoot at least 4 days a week for 2-3 hours and over the year I still have the ones it came with.
Version: 2010 Bear Assault
Pros: Easy shooting, nice smooth draw, extremely quiet.
Cons: Not a huge fan of the narrow grip, but that's an easy fix.
Full review:
This bow is a really easy draw. once set up holds adjustments doesn't need alot of tuning. the dual string stops make extremely quiet with minimal if any vibrations. I dislike the narrow grip on the bow but that is an easy fix with some cloth camo tape.
Version: 2010 Bear Assault
Pros: Smooth draw, Dead in the hand, Light, Quiet, Easy to set up and maintain!
Cons: Back wall was a little spongy, Finish could be a little better, String stops wear quickly. Speeds are slower then advertised. (I don't put a lot of weight on speed), Grip to narrow for my liking.
Full review:
This bow is a great bow for the price and it is hard to beat in today's economy for all that you get for the little out of pocket expense. For someone who is looking for the complete bow for hunting with the little out of pocket cost this is the way to go.
Version: 2011 Bear Assault
Pros: Inexpensive, I prefer the thinner grip. The dual string stops make it whisper quiet and from 10-50 yards it is very accurate and hard hitting.
Cons: I will let you know when I find one, but so far so good.
Version: 2011 Bear Assault
Pros: 1/2" adjust
Draw weight range
Narrow Grip
Nice let off
Cons: Soft Arrow stops that look the wear quicker than counter parts (but that is why it is quite so I don't know if that is a con)
Full review:
I don't have large hands so the narrow grip is a nice perk. If you star with a wide grip you can't make it narrower so I think Bear is right in starting thin and allowing for each shooter to customize their bow as they go along.
My last bow was a Hoyt, I bought in 1997 or 98 can't remember anything else. I know that it is not a fair comparison however; this bow is so much quieter in comparison. My favorite is the let off once I draw back I could set there all day if I need to. The draw adjustment at 1/2" is sweet it ensure a nice set up yeah you need a bow press but most archery shops have one and can make that adjustment for you, Supper nice bow.
Well because it is a review and I believe there has to be something that I can complain about it would have to be that the sting stops look to wear quickly. However they do perform amazingly so that is well worth the trade off. My wife has a PSE chaos and her sting stop work well but the Assault is much quieter than hers.

Business Opinion: Cannes visit appears to have been worthwhile
Posted: March 18, 2014|
Spending £50,000 of public money on attending a business event in the south of France was always going to raise questions.
But just a few days after returning, the Leicester and Leicestershire delegation to Mipim in Cannes has certainly gone a long way to justifying the use of taxpayers' money.
Officials say nearly 100 businesses have expressed an interest in investing or developing in the city and county as a result of its largest-ever presence in the 25 years history of the conference.
This is something which could never have been achieved by senior politicians and council officials at any other event, whether in Leicestershire, the UK or abroad.
I, along with Mercury managing director David Simms, was part of the delegation, giving me first-hand experience of the city and county's presence.
The large exhibition stand certainly attracted a lot of attention and was responsible for the lion's share of enquiries.
A series of seminars around the main exhibition on subjects such as our area's expertise in logistics and science and technology, led by senior delegates, also helped focus attention from potential outside investors on the area.
So, too, did the announcement that Leicester City Council and Leicestershire County Council plan to bid for nearly £400 million of public cash intended to expand the city and county's economies.
It is hoped the investment will make development sites attractive to private firms, which in turn would invest £2.5 billion in developing them – creating up 45,000 jobs by 2020.
The private sector response to this year's presence has been positive. Given this, it will be interesting to see the size of the public sector contribution to next year's Mipim delegation.
Another thing businesses are waiting to see is the Chancellor's budget tomorrow.
Tax looks to be the main focus this year – personal tax, employment levies and business rates.
Business rates – the commercial equivalent of council tax – are perhaps the most pressing issue from Leicestershire's point of view. This is because the county contains hundreds of small traders who are struggling to make ends meet as a result of paying business rates based on the value of their properties six years ago, during the economic boom.
A revaluation of commercial properties, which is likely to lead to a fall in rates, is not due to take place until 2017.
In his autumn statement in December, George Osborne capped April's rate rise at 2 per cent, instead of the 3.2 per cent it was due to go up by. However, this failed to grasp the nettle.
Many influential business figures now agree that the rates system needs radical reform. Let's hope we hear something about a possible overhaul tomorrow.

Nia: Where Dance Meets Fitness. ~ Jenny Block
I'm not going to lie to you. I hate to work out, and I hate the gym.
I don't like all of the competition and the stealthy looks. I don't like the pain, regardless of the gain. I don't like using the machines that other people have sweat on. And I don't like feeling inadequate no matter how much I lift the weights, spin the bikes or tread the mills.
I do, however, like to stay in shape. And therein lies the problem.
I used to do Jazzercise. But that got boring and quickly started taking a toll on my knees and ankles. I've done a lot of power walking. But no matter how scenic the location, that can get tedious too. There are only so many playlists to play and so many trails to walk. I was ready for something new.
So after the millionth time passing a studio with a sign that included Nia in its offerings, I decided to check it out. I had heard of Nia. Sort of. I heard it was something about dance, which I love, and something about fitness, which I needed.
Nothing to lose, I figured. But at that moment, I had no idea just how much I stood to gain.
The studio was full of all kinds of people; mostly women, but a couple of guys too. There were all ages and sizes. All sorts of attire, from yoga clothes to flowy pants and tops. The teacher, who turned out to be Jule Aguirre, looked one part athlete, one part friend, one part spiritual guru.
As the music started to play, Jule invited us to literally step-in to the class. I was swept away from that moment on.
You know that feeling you have when you go somewhere and feel like that's where you belong? When you do something that your body simply seems made to do? When you meet someone who you have no idea how you lived without before?
That's what Nia felt like to me. It felt like coming home.
Nia is a dance/fitness class. It can help you lose weight. It will definitely get you in shape. And, it will get you centered and focused. It's a tall order. But it's true.
Nia is comprised of 52 moves that are drawn from the dance, martial and healing arts. That means punching and kicking, spinning and reaching, stepping and bending. The dances are choreographed to terrific music. Best of all, to my mind, "no pain no gain" has no place in Nia.
I've been practicing Nia for more than two years. Every time I do it, I feel surprised that I actually, finally like exercising. I have made some of my closest friends in my Nia classes. And whenever I am away for too long, my body starts to crave it. I can't think of any better sign that I've found something I'm made to do.
It makes sense, really. Co-founder Debbie Rosas designed Nia to work with the body instead of against it. As a fitness pro, she saw her instructors and students getting injured and bored after too many aerobic classes. She knew there had to be a way to improve the body without harming the body. That's what Nia does. And wherever you are in terms of fitness level, Nia will meet you there.
You don't have to be a dancer to do Nia.
But I've loved to dance ever since I was a little girl, and Nia certainly gives the dancer in me the chance to come out to play. The funny thing is that in the very same class there are people who are into tae kwon do and yoga and hardcore training. That is, until they came to Nia.
They may still want to do those things. But they don't have to. Because, just like Nia feeds my tiny dancer, Nia also feeds their inner-warrior, their sacred meditator and their fierce personal trainer.
It's funny. There are all kinds of misnomers out there about Nia—that it's not really a workout, that it's hippie dancing, that it's only for old ladies, that there's incense and scarves involved. All of those things are wrong, of course. I'm just relieved that I didn't let them get in the way of me trying it out.
I have to say that I can't imagine where I would be—body, mind and spirit—without Nia.
Nia has given me a great backside and an equally appealing outlook on life. It's an exercise class that became my lifestyle practice. Who would have thought?

Loved this post. As the creator of Nia I am always tankful someone busts the stories about what Nia is. The description here is personal and also easy to get. Nia is for the body, for a woman's body and it leaves room to find yourself and express yourself. Move, it's natural – I get it. Thanks Jenny for giving me the opportunity to fall in love with my body and my life, to respect the work I do and Love: Making people fall in love with Nia, loving their body and life. Debbie Rosas, the 61 year old Co-creator of The Nia Technique who can still do one handed push ups!
Nia is a phenomenal, killer movement program. 'Fitness' is an understatement for what Nia classes delivers If you want fitness that is fun, expressive and makes your body feel good while you get super fit, this class is for you. You get to be an dancer, a ninja and a yogi all in the same class. Nia teachers are so skilled offering options and making the practice adaptable that you will see a variety of ages, body types, and fitness levels in class. Check out it and discover what Nia has to offer you!
This is the most succinct, accurate description of Nia I have read to date. Thanks, Jenny, for so compellingly capturing the essence of Nia, which has seduced me, on a daily basis, into the joy of movement for twelve years. FYI: I'm 57 this month, and regularly kick the asses of twenty and thirty somethings. In a good way. Thank you, Nia!
[…] Nia: Where Dance Meets Fitness. ~ Jenny Block […]
Great article! Love, "My body craves Nia." My body certainly does crave Nia – when it is exhausted, when it is happy, when it is heart broken – my body desires to move and Nia is the avenue in which it moves most freely, as Nia allows me to move in my body's way in my body's time!
I was searching for a fitness programm- something combined with dancing, when I discovered Nia 5 years ago… And I found a new life!
Nia changed my body (lost about 8 kg of weight), my lifestyle, brought me friends in the whole world- and that´s the truth: 2010 I spent 10 month for a sabbatical for personal growth and development without spending any money for hotels… travelling Europe, Canada and the USA visiting Nia brothers and sisters! – My deepest friendships grew in the Nia Community.
I built up a new community in Graz / Austria, we reached hundreds of people since I started teaching 4 years ago. Nia touches people somewhere deep inside. It reaches layers, you don´t know their existing. And it brings out the best "YOU"! No matter if man or woman, young or old (my youngest student was 8, the oldest over 70- the average is between 30 and 65). And all this besides having a blast, sweating like hell, laughing, breathing and sounding…
Great article in my favorite blog!!
Unlike Jenny, I love working out. I also love to be outside on the trails, and it's never tedious. While I adore the variety and mental challenge of Nia, I'm not there because it's the only fitness I could love (though I have students who say it's the first time they've smiled while working out). What I've found in Nia is a path, a way, just as people find it in Yoga or Running or CrossFit or, well, Parenting. It's a way into knowing my body more and caring about my body more. I use this knowing not just to teach Nia but also to teach myself how to take care of myself. So I can work out as hard as I like, and I can cross-train and run trails and do hot yoga, and I can deal with inevitable injuries, because I've practiced sensing my body and showing others how to move and groove to great music and not get lost in that but get found.
Nia is relatively fun, especially when one can land a teacher who isn't sloppy or attempting to give me a spirituality lesson. I've been a student on and off for a few years and have taken a few workshops as well. I dare say, however, that I did not get the guns I have doing Nia, but by weight training. I do not see how Nia would build an athletic physique. A toned one, perhaps. But…without an emphasis on muscle-building, muscles simply won't build, at least to a level I was looking for. My experience with Nia is that it is quite aerobic, and that is all fine and good. We need to circulate. I do find the "routines" rather dull especially if the teacher insists on doing it each and every time. I felt the music was rather one-dimensional and lounge-like as well. I felt like I was in a Buddha-Bar exercise class. One thing I wish for the Nia organization, however, would be to drop the language of movement forms. I saw no influence of 9 movement forms, but rather, just a nice blend of textures. You do not need to make all these claims that there is aikido and Alexander technique influencing the work, because I think that claim is REALLY thin. Just go on joy of movement and a wide palate of movement dynamics. There's your definition of what Nia is!
There is too much wrong with my feet and knees (I usually wear one arch support while barefoot dancing) these days, I have the book Non-Impact Aerobics (before the practice/program became known as Neurmuscular Integrative Action, and much later as Nia); and a few audiocassettes by the Rosases, and have studied and learned plenty from them back in the day. I turn my 5 Rhythms into intense, Nia-like sessions to the extent possible. If in a class, the 5 Rhythms facilitator knows this.
It's all good.
"Nia certainly gives the dancer in me the chance to come out to play." I can relate to this! I loved the dance classes I took in my 20s. As much as I enjoyed taking ballet classes, my hips would not be happy about trying to attain that perfect turn out. Come to think of it they weren't too happy then, either. Nia is a better way for me and my body to express myself and move and still have that feeling of being the dancer.

Editor's note: This is a guest blog post by Defenders of Wildlife.
Whenever someone says the word "shark," the great white from Jaws usually swims to mind. Unfortunately, many shark species, the majority of which are harmless to humans, have paid the ultimate price for their more famous movie brethren. The porbeagle shark, an inhabitant of the colder waters of the Atlantic Ocean and a cousin of the great white, is one of those species in desperate need of assistance before it disappears from our planet's oceans forever.
What is a Porbeagle?
Lamna nasus, also known as the porbeagle, is a relatively common shark found in the waters between Great Britain and Canada, ranging from shorelines to depths of up to 4,462 feet. The porbeagle is a stout-bodied shark with a pointed nose and a unique white spot on the rear of the dorsal fin. Like its larger cousin the great white, the porbeagle has a dual-shaded body to help it hunt fish from below and above. These sharks are also one of the only species of shark in the world that like to play — they have been found off of the Cornish coast rolling in kelp and pushing buoys around for no reason other than entertainment.
What's the Problem?
Porbeagle sharks breed slowly and only give birth to one or two pups a year, so any significant damage done to the population takes a long time to fix. It has been estimated that it takes close to 14 years for a population to recover from excessive fishing. Porbeagles were a favorite target for fishing vessels from the 1950s to the 1990s for shark steaks until strict fishing laws were implemented during the late 1990s in order to save the species. Although fishing for porbeagles still occurs in the northwestern Atlantic, studies have shown that the number of porbeagles landed in Europe has declined in the past 20 years.
According to the International Union for the Conservation of Nature, the porbeagle is listed as globally vulnerable, critically endangered in the northwest Atlantic, endangered in the northeast, and near threatened in the southern Atlantic. In both 2007 and 2010, proposals to regulate the trade of the species were presented by the European Union at the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora (CITES), but fishing interests successfully blocked the proposals each time.
You Can Help!
For the past couple CITES meetings, Defenders of Wildlife has been helping garner support for a new chance at getting additional international regulations for porbeagles and other shark species to better protect them against overharvesting. Brazil, Comoros, Croatia, the European Union and Egypt will all be sponsoring the porbeagle proposal, and we'll be at the upcoming CITES conference meeting with the delegates and advocating for the proposal.
We are hoping that this time, the Parties to the Convention will recognize the dire need for international cooperation to protect porbeagle sharks. Last time, at the 2010 meeting, the porbeagle proposal lost by just a single vote! We are turning now to Panama, who could cast the decisive vote on this proposal and others like it designed to gain new protections for hammerhead and oceanic whitetip sharks. Click here to send a letter asking the President of Panama to support shark conservation at this year's CITES conference!

The two-man team led by Jim Southworth, the board's railroad accident investigator-in-charge, will be looking at everything leading up to the collision, from safety procedures and qualifications of personnel to the track's condition.
"We will be the lead agency in the safety investigation into how and why this happened," Weiss said.
The four-car BART train with several people aboard was being run in automatic mode under computer control at the time of the accident, Assistant General Manager Paul Oversier said. The system has been shut down since Friday because of a work stoppage by the system's two largest unions.
The train was returning from a yard where workers cleaned graffiti from unused cars when it slammed into the two workers — one a BART employee and the other a contractor — who were inspecting an above-ground stretch of track between stations, Oversier said.
Neither BART nor the county coroner has released the names and ages of the victims. They were the sixth and seventh workers to die on the job in the system's 41-year history.

Theyve got about 30 cots set up in the common area, Mayor Ronald P. McDougall said. The fire department was there pumping the basement area but it seemed like the water was coming in as fast as they were pumping it out.
No damage has been done to the apartments and the water has only infiltrated a four-foot crawl space underneath buildings 7C, 8B, 6A and 3A, according to Robbie W. Wentzel, maintenance supervisor for United Helpers Management Company, which manages the property.
The fire department did a great job with keeping the water down, he said Wednesday morning. It seems to be stable now.
Mr. Wentzel said the crawlspace under the apartments from Tuesday night into Wednesday morning was taking on an inch of water per hour, but Wednesday it slowed to 1.5 inches over more than four hours.
The village declared a state of emergency Tuesday night, as the Oswegatchie River threatens other property, bridges and roads. St. Lawrence County and several other municipalities declared states of emergency earlier in the day.
Mr. McDougall said the state Department of Transportation was examining the Route 58 Bridge over the Oswegatchie in the village because the water level has reached the metal underneath it, and they may need to close it. He said the cold temperatures Tuesday night helped slow things down a little, but not nearly as much as he had hoped.
Its getting worse by the hour, he said. Were hoping it will crest and then start receding. Were doing the best we can with what we have to make sure no one gets hurt.
The Oswegatchie River is also causing problems for Ogdensburg.
City Department of Works Supervisor Gregg E. Harland said he has been checking the Maple City Trail daily and hopes that the flooding wont cause significant damage.
A section of the trail near the Algonquin Power Dam has been under water since late last week. He said city officials have not yet been able to assess whether flood waters have caused any damage.
You wont be able to tell until the water goes down, he said.
Mr. Harland said the the trail was able to withstand minor flooding in past years.
It always held up and Im hoping it will hold up again, Mr. Harland said.
The trails lighting system which was already malfunctioning and scheduled for an update will need to be inspected and dried out, he said.
The St. Regis River overflowed its banks in Brasher and Winthrop over the past three days. The DOT closed Route 11C in Brasher Falls Tuesday morning due to flooding.
The National Weather Service reported the St. Regis River at Brasher Center rising to 12.25 feet Tuesday evening, the fourth highest level on record.
National Weather Service Meteorologist Michael Muccilli said that the last time the river reached those heights was on April 7, 1947. The highest on record was 15.3 feet on April 6, 1937.
The river had dropped to 12.1 feet by Wednesday afternoon and was gradually receding.
There was a lot of sandbagging yesterday. The water is dropping today and things are looking good, Brasher-Winthrop Fire Chief Patrick Kowalchuk said.
Both bridges on Routes 420 and 11C were closed Tuesday.
National Grid spokesperson Virginia Limmiatis said some customers lost power for approximately 30 minutes Tuesday evening.
She said in order to avoid power outages, National Grid had to elevate the fuses at the substation at 180 County Route 53, Brasher Falls, so the bypass circuit breakers wouldnt be damaged by the flood.
U.S. Senator Kirsten E. Gillibrand, D-N.Y., on Wednesday asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to issue an agriculture disaster declaration and send relief to farms in Lewis and St. Lawrence counties.
Heavy flooding is wiping out roads and bridges, isolating farms, destroying resources that keep them operating, and threatening to leave many farms under water, Mrs. Gillibrand said a news release. We need these federal resources on the ground without delay so we can help our farms recover and support our economy.
Federal assistance could include low-interest emergency loans, technical assistance or replenishing lost livestock.
Robert G. Andrews, chairman of the St. Lawrence County Agriculture and Farmland Protection Board and of the Soil & Water Conservation District, said farms have been suffering.
When you have barns that are flooded with the amount of standing water theyve been getting, farmers have to get the animals out, he said. If thats not a state of emergency, I dont know what is.
County Director of the Farm Service Agency Clark A. Putman said the agency has not heard from any farmers in trouble with flooding, but farmland will be more affected than livestock. He said most of the countys farms are away from the flooded rivers.
There may be acres of land under water, but we wont know the extent of the damage until the water recedes, which it hasnt yet, he said. The effect on agriculture will be minimal compared to the effect on roads and bridges.

Arrange five of the washers evenly around the outside rim of the bottom of one tin. Stack five washers in the middle of the bottom of the second tin. In both cases, secure the washers with tape or Velcro™.
(15 minutes or more)
Place both tins at the top of the ramp. Be sure the tops are on. Ask your friends to predict which tin will reach the bottom of the ramp first. Release the tins and let them roll down the ramp. The tin with the mass closer to the center will always reach the bottom first.
At the top of the ramp, both tins have identical potential energy, since both have the same mass and are at the same height. At the bottom of the ramp, each tin will have part of its original potential energy appearing as linear (or translational) kinetic energy and the rest appearing as rotational kinetic energy. Though both tins have the same total mass, each has this mass distributed differently. It is harder to get the tin with its mass distributed along the rim rotating than it is to get the tin with its mass concentrated at the center rotating. The tin with its mass at the rim will use a greater part of its original potential energy just to get rolling than will the tin with its mass concentrated at the center. Therefore the tin with its mass at the rim has less energy available to appear as translational kinetic energy, resulting in a lower linear speed. The tin with its mass concentrated around the rim will lose the race to the bottom of the ramp, and the tin with its mass concentrated at the center will win.
The use of lightweight "mag" wheels on cars is related to translational and rotational kinetic energy. Imagine that you had two cars of equal overall mass, but one had lightweight "mag" wheels and a heavy chassis, and the other had heavy steel wheels and a light chassis. Given the same energy input, the "mag" wheel car would accelerate more rapidly, since less of the energy supplied would be needed to get the wheels rotating, and more would therefore appear as straightline motion of the car as a whole.
It is interesting to experiment with rolling cans of soup down an inclined plane. Solid soups roll down the incline at a slower rate than liquid soups. The liquid does not have to rotate with the can, so the potential energy of the liquid soup can go into linear motion, not into rotation of the soup.

- BCS With Adjustments – Maintains the current system but eliminates automatic qualification, eliminates limit on number of teams from each conference and play games closer to January 1. This option would also create a format that would "accommodate different conference champions participating in different bowl games."
- Original "Plus One" – After the completion of the bowl games, the committee would select two teams to play in the National Championship Game.
- Four-team Event – This format would have seeded semifinals and a championship game with four options:
1) All three games played in bowls.
2) All three games played at neutral sites through a bid process. Games would not be branded as bowl games.
3) Semifinal games played in bowls and the championship game site would be determined through a bid process. The championship game would not be branded as a bowl game.
4) Semifinal games played at campus sites (presumably hosted by higher seeded team). Championship game site would be determined through a bid process.
- Four Team Plus - the four highest-ranked teams at the end of the regular season would meet in semifinals unless the Big Ten or Pac-12 champion, or both, were among the top four. Those leagues' teams still would meet in the Rose, and the next highest-ranked team or teams would slide into the semis. The national championship finalists would be selected after those three games.
I think the first, second and fourth are not what people are looking for. Anything that includes the final two teams being selected is more of the status quo.
Personally, I like Four-Team Event 1, 2, and 3, but I'd be fine with 4 as well. I would however not seed the teams, and just have de facto eastern and western regional finals at two of the current BCS bowls, so it's easier for fans to get to semis and then to the finals a couple saturdays later. I think seeding the teams would be like re-seeding the Final Four in basketball. Those are the four best teams, the best one will should be able to beat any two of the other three.
Secondarily, the are proposing larger 10/12 or 20 team bowl systems. Basically, this would expand the BCS. A committee would pick the 6-16 teams for 3-8 other bowls (outside the semis), trying to make "attractive" match-ups both competitively and geographically.
I kind of like it, seeing as teams like Boise St would have a chance against top ten teams from other conferences. But it would be strange to not know what bowl your conference has. But it's not that big a deal.

The Body as the Path Through Depression.
Hell is a state of alienation from the power of Being that substantiates life, God.
This is experienced as depression. Essentially, depression is a state of separation from the body. The body is the temple. It is the house of God. So, a life alienated from the body is a life devoid of meaning.
When working with depression, the emphasis should always be placed on the body. This emphasis is contemplation, which means "that which is done in the temple." You will have to will your way through the laziness and sit. It is tough. You have to sit with diligence, coming back over and over again to the immediacy of the body.
As for the torment of depression, you must consent. There are no detours on this journey. You have to bring your awareness into the depression and be with it. Then something magical happens: Depression becomes a gateway to the body.
The body emerges from behind the fog of depression, as if depression was nothing more than a distant echo of our innate vitality. This vitality is the basic goodness that endows all of creation, even hell.
Here is the deal: Life is going to unfold regardless of my attitudes and opinions. I'll never be asked for permission. So, the fact that it is happening is beyond you or I. But the position I take, in relationship to this process of expansion, is my responsibility.
The presence of this responsibility in our heart is the condition that necessitates free will.
I choose whether I will consciously participate in the expansion of my life or not. This is the only question we are ever asked: Where are you? Once we accept our journey as a mandate, we see that the world is born within our body—every moment of every day. We see life through the lens of disconnection, depression, and frustration. Or we see the whole of creation pouring forth from the goodness in our heart.
"It is life or death, so choose, and I put both before you." ~ Matisyahu

6 Responses to "The Body as the Path Through Depression."
I'm so happy to see this truth posted so clearly and directly. While I don't believe in God, I do believe in the basic premise of this post: depression is directly related to separation from the body. An embodied, spiritual awareness is the antithesis of depression. I have suffered from clinical depression most of my life. Even with meds, it did not become manageable until I started a meditation/asana practice, and that practice has made a phenomenal difference in my ability to experience a mostly depression-free life now. One important point I would like to stress, though, is that there is a very real physiological element to depression for many people, and it can't be meditated away. Mental/emotional perspective is, for many people, only part of the equation. While my practice has greatly improved my ability to cope with and manage depression, that alone is not enough. Brain chemistry plays a significant role. While it may be possible for an embodied practice alone to "cure" depression for many people, that will not be true for everyone. I would caution anyone who suffers from depression to be very careful about accepting the premise that if your depression has not been cured by your practice, you just aren't practicing hard enough. It is very easy to fall prey to self-blame for not solving all of one's problems through practice. But part of practice is self-acceptance and a reality-based acceptance of things as they are. For me, the reality is that my practice makes a huge difference. And so do my meds. I would not be taking very good care of myself if I were to give up either one.
I am so thankful for your idea's, I need to find that balance in my life!
Thank you, Laura! There is a young person I know who needs this message, and this really helped me to clarify how to help him. Bless you!
Thank you for this! I have had many times of depression throughout my life and it was much bigger than I ; the body doesn't want to override what the mind knows. The depression gets worse when your body doesn't want to change through doing.!
Laura, thank you so much for your balanced, articulate comment. I have suffered from clinical depression since childhood and know well the anguish of depression overwhelming the need and desire to care for my body. Which, of course, leads to deeper depression in a downward spiral to increasing hell and self-damnation. I too take meds though eventually they all stop working and a new one must be found–in itself a return to hell. I clicked on Elephant Health completely by accident. I was aiming my finger elsewhere. What a blessed mistake!

Federal government sues to block airline merger
FILE – In this Thursday, Feb. 14, 2013, file photo, a U.S. Airways jet passes an American Airlines jet at Sky Harbor International Airport in Phoenix. The merger of the two airlines has given birth to a mega airline with more passengers than any other in the world. The Justice Department and a number of state attorneys general on Tuesday, Aug. 13, 2013, challenged a proposed $11 billion merger between US Airways Group Inc. and American Airlines' parent company, AMR Corp. (AP Photo/Matt York, file)
DALLAS (AP) — American Airlines and US Airways expected to spend this week cruising toward completion of a merger that would create the world's biggest airline.
Instead, they were stunned Tuesday when the federal government and six states sued to block the deal, saying it would hurt competition and cost consumers hundreds of millions of dollars a year in higher fares and extra fees.
Antitrust regulators had done little to interfere with other big airline mergers in the past five years, including Delta-Northwest and United-Continental. So, they were not expected to stand in the way of American and US Airways. But this latest deal would leave four airlines controlling more than 80 percent of the U.S. air-travel market.
"By further reducing the number of legacy airlines and aligning the economic incentives of those that remain, the merger of US Airways and American would make it easier for the remaining airlines to cooperate, rather than compete, on price and service," the lawsuit said.
The Justice Department turned the words of US Airways leaders against them. The 56-page complaint filed in federal district court in Washington, D.C., was peppered with quotes from internal emails, investor presentations and public comments in which top executives noted that previous mergers had helped lead to higher fares and higher fees to check a Login to read more

Student doc spies UFO over Douglas
- From: Townsville Bulletin
- November 08, 2013
THE truth is out there for a young Townsville doctor-in-training who believes he has photographic evidence of a UFO chasing a large flock of birds.
James Cook University medical student Joshua Thompson, 20, was driving to his home at Riverside Gardens in Douglas on Tuesday about 6pm when he spotted thousands of small black birds flying over the Ross River towards the Palmetum gardens, as he went past the bridge.
"I've never seen anything like that before in Townsville," he said.
"I thought that looked a bit cool."
He took a photograph on his iPhone 5 and, when later examining the picture, he noticed two strange, small saucer-shaped objects in the sky.
In one of the photos, there is a clear burst of yellow light in the shape of a disc, with six small lights in the sky.
"The six small lights really weirded me out," he said.
"You can see them really clearly in this ring type of thing."
There also appears to be a black shadow behind the unknown object, and another object above it, seemingly flying away.
The lit UFO also has a transparent beam underneath it, suggesting it is zooming away.
"My theory is the birds may have been some sort of cover for it to get away," he said.
Mr Thompson uploaded his sighting to YouTube from his smartphone on Tuesday night, attracting more than 1000 views within 24 hours.
He said he was not a "superstitious" person, but was aware of another recent sighting.
"My mate who is in the same course as me, who did astronomy as an elective this semester, he saw a similar sighting about a month ago in the same area, the same type of disc-orb shape, he said, that just took off," he said.
"I didn't actually see it at all, I was just driving and quickly took a snap, and the rest is history."
Mr Thompson, who is originally from Darwin and also lived in Indonesia and Portugal for many years, said he had never seen anything like the UFO before in his time living around the world. "I've occasionally seen lights in the sky and just thought, oh, shooting star, or whatever nothing that crazy," he said.
Kenneth Armitage, from Townsville City Council's parks department, said he was not aware of any reports from Palmetum staff about unusual activity in the sky this week.

This is madness. He's taken the pictures through the window of his vehicle, and what you are looking at is the flash from the camera phone on the inside window. And you also broke the law by using your phone while driving.
AMR of Sth Tsv Posted at 11:49 AM November 08, 2013
I believe it. Have had a very real and confronting experience with a UFO at Toomulla Beach a few years ago.
Jammer of TSV Posted at 10:19 AM November 08, 2013
This bloke was driving when using his phone? I hope the cops book him for the use of a mobile device while in operation of a motor car. Ohh and its just a reflection of the windscreen, good to see he thinks he's famous though!.
tristram of townsville Posted at 9:12 AM November 08, 2013
Yes, if he doesn't know what it is, then it's a UFO.

looks like a motion blur of a streetlight

Although tonsillectomy is a common procedure and accepted practice guidelines are available, a recent study found "substantial variation" in perioperative tonsillectomy care provided by children's hospitals in the U.S.
The American Academy of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery (AAO-HNS) guidelines recommend perioperative administration of the corticosteroid dexamethasone to children undergoing tonsillectomy to reduce postoperative nausea, vomiting, and pain. Also, the guidelines do not recommend that clinicians routinely administer or prescribe perioperative antibiotics to children undergoing tonsillectomy.
The study published in Pediatrics involved several researchers from The Children's Hospital of Philadelphia who examined 139,715 tonsillectomy admissions for children ages 1 to 18 years across 36 children's hospitals between 2004 and 2012. The results showed 69.6 percent received dexamethasone, and 31.1 percent received antibiotics on the day of surgery.
The investigators also found that 7.8 percent of the study population - 10,868 children - revisited the hospital within 30 days of their procedure, with 36.5 percent of those being admitted and 63.5 percent, or 6,897 children, visiting the emergency department. Ninety-four percent of the revisits occurred within 15 days of surgery, and they were for bleeding, vomiting, and dehydration.
"Quality improvement initiatives are needed to implement current evidence into practice, understand and disseminate the practices of high-performing hospitals, and improve the value of health care delivered for children undergoing tonsillectomy," the authors wrote.
Sanjay Mahant, MD, MSc, FRCPC, of Toronto's Hospital for Sick Children, led the study. Children's Hospital's Ron Keren, MD, MPH, as well as the University of Pennsylvania's Russell Localio, PhD, also contributed to the investigation.
