Bill Lynch will not be retained as the Indiana football coach, a source close to the situation said moments ago.
No decision has been made on the rest of the staff. Athletic director Fred Glass will meet with the media at 5 p.m. today.
The decision comes less than 24 hours after Lynch led Indiana to a win in the Old Oaken Bucket game against Purdue, but at the end of a third-straight season that did not result in a trip to a bowl game.
Lynch was 2-2 against Purdue, but the Hoosiers were 5-7 in 2010 and 18-31 overall in Lynch's four seasons as head coach.
He was also 6-26 in the Big Ten.
Lynch has one year remaining on his contract. Glass said during last season that he would honor contracts and that they should mean something at Indiana.
But this season had been a disappointment. Indiana scheduled four very winnable nonconference games and did beat Towson, Western Kentucky, Akron and Arkansas State, but were winless in the Big Ten until Saturday.
A press release has just been handed out confirming Lynch's firing.
"Glass noted it was his sincere and oft-stated desire for Coach Lynch to coach the football Hoosiers through the full four years of his contract and beyond. Still, after evaluating the state of the program and his options with Coach Lynch entering the last year of his contract — to either extend Coach Lynch's contract, have him coach the final year of his contract without committing to an extension (or non-extension), or making a coaching change now — Glass concluded that he needed to make the change.
"'Bill Lynch is often described as a 'nice guy' and he absolutely is, but it is important to recognize he is much more than that,' Glass observed. 'People should know that Bill is also smart, talented, passionate, perspective, committed to his players, a great teacher, and a very good football coach. That I have concluded we need a new coach at this point in time does not change any of that. The tremendous job he did in rallying and leading the grief-stricken 2007 Hoosiers to the Insight Bowl will remain an Indiana University football milestone forever. On behalf of myself and all of Hoosier Nation, I thank Bill for his selfless commitment to Indiana University football and in particular to the student-athletes under his care."
Glass will not have a search committee, instead using his staff and the consulting firm Neinas Sports Services. He will also consult with faculty, current and former football players, the Varsity Club, Bill Polian, Tony Dungy, and members of the national football community, the Big Ten conference, the NCAA, AFCA and Black Coaches and Administrators.
Offensive coordinator Matt Canada said earlier today that the entire staff has been let go, and the press release confirms that. In the interim, a transition team has been formed. Scott Dolson will chair it, along with director of football operations Mark Deal and legendary former player Anthony Thompson, among others.
Once again, we can thank Miles Brand for this hiring. Brand fired Mallory in order to bring IU Football to the "next level" ( Brands words) He did…. to the basement………… thanks Miles, you managed to ruin IU athletics long after you were gone.
Wow #2
wow, Merry Christmas your present is this kick in the teeth. btw great win yesterday!
Matt #3
Much thanks to Coach Lynch and his staff for representing our university well over the last four years. I will always be a Bill Lynch supporter no matter where he lands.
Now, time to hit a home run and hire the next coach who will take us to the Rose Bowl.
Northsider #4
Not unexpected, but the timing stinks. Still enjoying the post victory gloat. Best of luck Bill Lynch. You are a quality man and I wish nothing but the best for you and Linda and your family.
Hoosier97 #5
Good luck to Bill Lynch wherever he lands. Now the question is who can win at Indiana?
John Ebling #6
Thank-you to Coach Bill Lynch, his staff, and the players, for their great effort and hard work during these past years. We were oh-so-close to 2 or 3 more wins each of the last two years. I hope IU makes a great new hire. Go Hoosiers!
Memorial Stadium Observer #7
Will the post office be able to handle the extra mail load from all the winning head coaches just dying to be IU's next football coach mailing their resume's to Fred?
Even if IU offers stupid money ($1.5M a year) I have my doubts as to them finding anyone who's truly qualified out there willing to take the job.
Translucent Steed #8
GO get Mike Leach!
Coach Tieken #9
Thanks Coach Lynch…..Congratulations on your Bucket victory….you deserved a better fate. You are number one in the hearts of many Indiana high school coaches….God bless on your future endeavors. Good luck to the university hiring new coach…..do not forget the importance of the Indiana high school football ties.
Long Time Fan #10
To Mr. Glass:
This decision is yours and yours alone. It does not reflect the opinion of TRUE Indiana Fans who understand the real state of Indiana football.
With that said, you better pony up some real money and get a coach. If you're going to continue to pay the lowest wage in the Big 10, you're going to continue to be in the same position you are in now. Period.
You are now solely responsible for making this happen. If not, the board of trustees should fire you in the same manner you fired Coach Lynch.
Good Luck.
KevinK #11
Good luck to you Coach. Thank you.
Good luck also to you Mr. Glass, this is a huge opportunity fir you.
GFDave #12
Thanks to coach Lynch for being a great ambassador for IU.
IndyAndy #13
How has Bill Lynch been a "great ambassador" to IU when nobody outside the state knows him, and if they do, they know of him as the guy that threw his gum once.
Further, IU football was used repeatedly this week to counter the OSU president statement that, in deed, Ohio State plays weak teams, too.
Brian #14
The Glass motto….24 sports one team….that was Bill Lynch….the next guy needs to have the same qualities as Bill Lynch or Glass is not living up to his own words…I want to win…but as an alumnus of IU….I want class also…
Evelyn Powers #15
In the past, I have traveled to Columbus, Ohio, and East Lansing, Michigan during football season, proudly wearing my IU hat.
I will never forget the comments made to me on separate visits to those two cities. In the lobby of a Red Roof Inn in Columbus, a young man saw my hat and said, "IU is an embarrassment to the Big Ten." My mouthed just dropped open and I was speechless.
And, on a visit to East Lansing, sitting at a local sportsbar, another young man saw my IU hat
and said, "At least when Bill Mallory was your Coach, you lost with dignity." Again, I was floored.
This I know. It will take another true gentleman and man of honor like Bill Mallory to get us back on track. A man the boys can all respect. A man who doesn't yell at them thinking, somehow, that will make them play better. A man who will instill in them character, pride, and a champion's attitude. A man who is more like a father or a good Uncle than a Coach who berates and humiliates them.
Coach Mallory and his beautiful wife, Ellie, have, I believe, four sons. Let's get one of them and be done with it!
Best of luck to you, Coach Lynch, in your future endeavors.
And, go IU! Next year WILL be better!
garvey #16
With the hire of a new football coach, Fred Glass defines his tenure as athletic director. Forget the hoopla on game days, the new scoreboard, the Indiana Creed — how he chooses to move forward with the IU Football coaching position defines his legacy.
I fear that without the $3million it takes to get the impact coach, we will do nothing but tread water.
4guards #17
Well at least now we know not to believe a word that comes out of the man's mouth.
bonenails #18
Great win yesterday..THANKS coach Lynch…sorry to see you go. Good luck and best wishes on your journey.
lynch fan #19
Good Luck to you and your family. Gave us four good years. I U has fired more good coaches than most schools have the opportunity to hire. You are just one of the latest victims. Now you can get a good job.
#9 #20
To Long Time Fan:
please enlighten us. what are the opinions of the TRUE fans who actually understand the state of IU football?
mediocrity? blowout losses? repeated finishes in the bottom of the big10? bowl-less seasons after non-conference schedules full of 'cupcakes'?
the persistent, blind loyalty to a man that has no business as coach of a major division one school astonishes me.
you may be a nice man, mr lynch, but i cannot forget how quickly you flushed all progress of Hoeppner down the toilet. good riddance.
Just a quick note about your short summary above…"The decision comes less than 24 hours after Lynch led Indiana to a win…" You write that Lynch LED Indiana to a win…I'm not sure if you watched the game or not but Ben Chappell LED Indiana to a win..despite Bill Lynch!
Pam flowers #22
Leo Dorocher said,"Nice guys finish last.". I hope he was wrong and Glass can hire one who can get us into the top of our division after the arrival of Nebraska.
Mike P. #23

4guards…no problem. We don't believe anything you say anyway.

This program was moving in the right direction. We should have won 7 or 8 each of the last 2 years and nearly did.
There is a sense that Indiana will build a program to compete with Ohio St./Mich/Wisc, etc. This simply will not happen. It hasn't since Mallory and may not likely again. We had the right man with Lynch who Indiana HS coaches respected.
My entire comment was directed at Mr. Glass as in my mind he has only 1 decision. Find about $1M plus to pay a coach and then HOPEFULLY someone will take the job. On the other hand, who would want it with the history being if you don't win 8+ games in less than 3 years, you're out.
Good luck with that one.
Wisco #27
We also now know that being an unreasonable, relentlessly annyoing prick regarding Tom Crean isn't enough for the great 4G.
4guards #28
Welcome aboard Brady Hoke?
I'm on the other side…dumb move to fire a coach with ONE year left on his contract. You were right the first time, Mr. Glass…contracts should mean something at Indiana. You'll now spend a ton of money (1) buying out Lynch, (2) searching for a new coach and (3) paying a new coach a lot more money.
…and in the end, you'll likely get the same mediocre results. Bravo. You would have been better off to take your time next year, finding a quality replacement and honoring a contract, while seeing what Lynch could do with a pretty good recruiting class that may very well scatter now with all of the uncertainty. I hope you make me eat these words, but I'm not very optimistic at the moment.
Hoosier303 #30
now how many kids decommit? I read that Belcher has already said that he's gone.
#9 #31
i think you're delusional. moving in the right direction? and theres a HUGE difference between what we should have done and actually did. if this program was moving in the right direction there would be no SHOULD have done this or that crap. the results would be in the record.
i personally dont fall into the category of thinking we can compete with Ohio St or Michigan or Wisconsin every season. I do feel that we can be a team that finishes in the top half of the conference every year. I dont believe that's too much to ask. We were on the right track before Lynch was made the head coach. he did a great job of erasing it all.
and Lynch isnt the only guy that can be respected by the coaches in this state. so I cannot buy that delusional comment, either.
johnnycee #32
this was the correct decision under the circumstances. sorry it had to happen to a guy like bill lynch, but to paraphrase the wizard of oz, he was a good man, but a bad coach.
whomever iu gets as a coach, the best they can realistically hope for is a top 25 finish and winning 8 or 9 games and going to a midrange bowl. but they should be able to rise above being at the bottom of the big ten barrel, except somebody's got to be there…
the new divisions of the 12 team big ten and championship game will make it virtually impossible for iu to ever win the big ten championship outright. ohio state and nebraska will rule the conference, with occasional winners being wisconsin, michigan, iowa and penn state.
#9 #33
the formula for the coach at IU should be simple: build that type of program that yields 8 or 9 wins a year and that can compete EVERY saturday. and from time to time that may translate into 10 or more wins and maybe finally playing on new years day again.
again, to those that are so against Bill Lynch being fired please explain to me why that is so much to ask? we are a division one school in a major conference. bill lynch is simply not cut out to coach at that level.
jason #34
decision had to be made, thanks Glass. Lynch, you got a win on your way out, good for you, you deserved that. now IU deserves more a coach that can bring intensity, and give the program hope. as for the complaints about recruits decommitting, sorry but our recruitment class is one if the worst in the bigten, we arent losing anything to let the new coach and staff start from scratch
Long Time Fan #35
Insults measure the true character of a man.
I'm sure the Hoeppner family might have some words for you in regards to your thoughts on Coach Lynch "throwing it all away".
We've had 3 winning coaches in over 100 years of Indiana football. See a pattern here? We've tried it all, an up and coming assistant (Cameron), a coach with success at major program (DiNardo), all who came here and lost. Changes are then made because of people like you who have unrealistic expectations and who only care about winning.
This program would have been fine with Coach Lynch and I am not delusional for believing that.
HoosierSmitty #36
I covered Ball State as a student reporter during Lynch's tenure. During that time we lost 21 games in a row. It was brutal, but Bill Lynch always handled reporters with class. He is indeed a very nice person.
I think Coach Lynch knows his football, but that doesn't mean he is cut out to lead a Big Ten team. I always thought Coach was a bit too conservative. But who am I to really judge? I feel bad for Coach Lynch and his family and wish them the best.
As a Hoosier fan, I hope Glass goes after a coach with the pedigree to help Indiana football reach new heights. There is no reason IU can't have success in football.
MiamiHoosier #37
Need to do this quickly, all knew it was coming. For the amount of money and effort IU has put into the Football program of late a change needed to be made. If Lynch were to stay another year, the support and following as bad as it is now would be much worse if retained. Change this quick is needed for recruiting purposes and also to start getting candidates available ready to interview, eventhough I'm sure there has been some quiet back channeling by Glass. Hoake would be the great hire here. Wins with little and well, IU doesn't have much talent when it comes to the football program. He gets the best out of his players, knows the area and will make IU competitive and bowl eligible within year 2 I believe.
jason #38
LTM:your mentality is exactly why the program has sucked, IU has not made winning the top priority. I bet you tell your kids that its OK to lose, as long as they are nice and tried. the next coach will have unprecedented administration and $ support. things will improve.
LT Fan,
you say, "Changes are then made because of people like you who have unrealistic expectations and who only care about winning." You are right, college football IS all about winning. This isn't a youth league program. IU is in the Big Ten which is apart of the NCAA. The NCAA is a business, centered around the money they make off of these amateur athletes. One of the reasons IU can't pay a top level coach is because they don't win enough to make enough money. Like it or not, college sports is run by wins and losses and wins bring in more money than losses!

"3 big10 wins in 3 seasons is not the basis for an extension" – Fred Glass
looks like im not the only one with unrealistic expectations…
bill dennis #41
I think that Bill Lynch is and always be a nice guy, but the world is full of nice guys, I am a nice guy and I used to coach youth football, but some people get in over there head by circumstances. I the tadgedy had never happened to coach Hep, Lynch would not have ever been the head coach at I.U. ps. Ball State is looking for a coach..Bill Dennis
coachv #42
how about steve mariucci for new coach. i get the feeling he misses coaching.
i get tired of people saying that a football champion can't be built here. i remember when the following teams were horrible programs:
wisconsin, oregon, boise st., kansas, kansas st., cincy, va tech, louisville, tcu, stanford, northwestern. i'm sure there are more. the right person can build it. people often say our stadium is too small. if we win for a few years, we'll sell out. sell out for a few years, we'll build a new stadium.
HiggiStardust #43
Bill Lynch is a nice guy, but he simply was not going to be the long-term coach at IU, especially with the significant investment to upgrade the facilities. The odds on favorite to replace Lynch is Brady Hoke – now at San Diego St. Hoke is a midwest guy and, unless he is now enamored with the sand & surf of the west coast, he will likely jump at the chance to return to Indiana and become 1 of 12 coaches in the new Big Ten (12) conference. Hoke has the pedigree to become the coach that we all believed Hep would become. Go IU!
Speedway #44
While I am pleased with Mr. Glass' decision today, for tonight I will merely thank Coach Lynch for his service in running a clean (even if unsuccessful) program.
Well now we will find out who in the collage football coaching world 4geeks has a man crush on. Does he have room for another picture under his pillow next to Steve Alford's ?
4guards #46
Jeff George!
My guess would be Brady Hoke.
Chet #47
Good luck in your future endeavors. As far as TRUE Indiana fans and their understanding of the state of IU football…hogwash. Bill Lynch is a nice guy but there probably isn't more than 1 IU fan in 10 that wasn't calling for a change. Glass probably spends the better portion of each workday dealing with outraged alumni demanding Lynch's firing. There are plenty of great people in the world that are floundering in the wrong job. It makes people sad when they get fired but it doesn't mean they shouldn't be fired.
As to the timing, when should he be fired? Did you ever think that maybe Bill doesn't want to be left hanging, either?
Hoosierwynn #48
I am all for Brady Hoke ….I watch LOTS of college football …and for him to do what he did at Ball State …then VERY quickly bring a ho-hum San Diego State that plays in a baseball stadium with zip fan support …well, that speaks volumes to me ….I don't know if he is nice like Lynch, but I've never heard anything negative about him …would he want to come to IU? I did breathe a sigh of relief when Glass said there WILL be money …substantially more ….I mean a buddy of mine makes what Lynch made and he lives in a small 2 bedroom condo ….gotta pay to play
fwa #49
San Diego St. announced today that they are in talks with Brady Hoke on a contract extension… IU and Minnesota are both interested.
fwa #50
^^^ Sorry, the report did not say that IU and MN were interested…that was my editorial opinion. Well, MN is definitely interested as their AD was in San Diego a couple of days ago…
Hoosierwynn #51
Chet …you are spot on …there are 15 of us displaced Hoosier fans in the middle of no-where Arizona …and after each loss …ie every week …would make it a point to call Glass and voice our extreme displeasure with the enormous losses that happened every year …um …except with Heps last class ….As sweet and nice as Lynch is …the guy could NEVER win anywhere at anytime …and walks with a quarter MILLION …you know he knows he made out to a degree …Let's go Glass …git 'er done …
Football Fever #52
It is ridiculous to fire a person a day after a hard-fought game and on a Sunday!!! It's not bad enough that Glass said he would honor Lynch's contract, but he couldn't even give the man one day's rest to enjoy his win and hard work! Who would ever, ever, ever fire a person on a Sunday unless 1) the person fired had committed a criminal act, or 2) the person doing the firing is a jerk and proud of it. Well, Mr. Glass, you're a liar and a jerk and that's a lot worse than not winning college football games!!! Don't worry, what goes around, comes around. Always has and always will. I wish Coach Lynch the very best in the future.
coachv #53
what's so special about sunday?
Hoosierwynn #54
Some of the comments from Hoosier fans are the crux of why we are a LOSER program and the laughingstock of BCS football ….poor widdle Lynch fired on …OMG … A Sunday !!!! You people make me want to vomit on your church clothes ….grow some nuts you dweebs ….You losers seriously think 3 BT wins in 3 years is really sweet and cuddly ? This isn't church bingo LADIES ….its big time college football where Indiana is and has been getting smoked by every other BCS program under Bill Lynch ….I mean seriously you retards …the man is getting paid approximately 500,000 to sit home and watch TV for the next year ….some of these comments about poor Bill …on a Sunday ….are disturbing if not laughable ….Thank you Fred Glass for having the brains to make changes and expect results on the field and in the classroom …..If you loser mentality Hoosier fans think ONE WIN a year is sweet, cute and tidy ….you should go root for your favorite church dart team …the MAJORITY of Hoosier Nation expects more ….
Hoosierwynn #55
And just one more thing ladies …I just bet a dollar to a donut that Bill Lynch was classy enough to understand the on field expectations ….and will come out with an honest statement soon saying that he and his staff just didn't get it done on the field as hard as they tried ….Bill Lynch will be fine …but how in the world can anyone say that Indiana didn't give him a chance ? Please explain WITH some substance rather than …it was a Sunday …if Belcher hadn't have dropped that pass …if Beliema wasn't such a meanie …if we had more fans ….IF IF IF ….

VIDEO: Persistent Laker fan heckles Kevin Garnett
Celtics forward Kevin Garnett is well-known for his trash-talking. From whatever happened with Carmelo Anthony this season to the incident with Charlie Villanueva, he isn't shy about dropping harsh words on an opponent.
Well, he might've met his match in this persistent Lakers heckler. He just yells Garnett's first name, over and over and over again, for about a minute.
Kevin. Kevin. Kevin! KEVIN! KEVIN KEVIN KEVIN KEVIN KEVIN. KEVVVVVVVIINNNNN.
Maybe he was quoting Home Alone to himself. I guess we don't really know.
But good heckling approach, Laker guy. Definitely got in my head.

Five things to watch as Baylor takes on Buffalo
Photo: Rod Aydelotte/AP
PASSING PETTY: Bryce Petty finally got his turn as Baylor's starting quarterback after three seasons waiting behind Heisman Trophy winner Griffin and record-setting Nick Florence. Petty, a fourth-year junior with 14 career passes before the opener, completed 19 of 24 passes for 312 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions against Wofford. "It was good to finally get out there and get that game under my belt. I will just become more and more confident as we go out there," Petty said. "It was definitely fun to be the guy, to be the starter. I haven't had that in a while."

Texas Tech's Williams moves from RB to LB
LUBBOCK, Texas (AP) — After Texas Tech's Holiday Bowl win, the Red Raiders' leading rusher approached coach Kliff Kingsbury to ask if he could switch positions.
Kenny Williams saw how depleted the Red Raiders were going to be at linebacker during the upcoming season, so he offered to help out by heading to the other side.
Now, after leading Texas Tech in rushing the past two seasons, the 5-11, 228-pound senior is set to start at outside linebacker when the Red Raiders host Central Arkansas on Saturday.
"Linebacker is just like the mirror position to running back, so a lot of that (experience) comes in handy," Williams said. "In certain situations I can kind of process what the running back is doing. It's really been working for me."
Williams will be taking over the position from Terrence Bullitt, who had two sacks and 37 tackles last season. Williams, who had 497 yards rushing and eight touchdowns, also played on special teams. He had 14 tackles in that role and will probably again be in on kickoffs, punt blocks and kick returns.
Williams was a triple threat on offense last season. In addition to his running back role, he caught one touchdown pass and threw for two others.
Kingsbury's seen improvement on defense from Williams and expects that to continue. He also isn't ruling out bringing Williams in on offense occasionally.
"There are certain things he does really well offensively, so we may plug him in any given moment," the second-year coach said. "We'll see how the season's going."
Williams is no stranger at linebacker. His began there at the start of his junior year at Hendrickson High in Pflugerville, Texas. Since then, though, he's been a running back. Williams wants to play some on offense — and he smiled wryly when asked about slipping in on offense.
"I have to have that click, that quick switch when they call me over to the offensive side of the ball," he said.
Matt Wallerstedt, the first Red Raiders defensive coordinator since 2009 to stay longer than a year, sees a great athlete in Williams.
"He's a compact, powerful kid that plays with a lot of energy and a lot of effort," Wallerstedt said. "You can't take enough of those guys. He's going to be a force to reckon with on the perimeter."
Williams doesn't downplay that the switch to linebacker came with challenges. Learning the schemes and understanding the terminology was difficult, but he said those have come together after spring and fall workouts. He enjoys his time on special teams, too.
"From an early age I learned that special teams are a key part of the game," he said. "That's how you have to treat it. Special teams can either lose or win games, and I've always taken pride in that."
Wallerstedt believes Williams' skills will give him a better shot at playing in the NFL.
"They're going to see how versatile he is, and they'll see how well he does on special teams," he said. "A guy like that can have a lot of different roles with a lot of different teams with his speed. I think he could play in the league for a while."
On a defense that lost several key players (Kerry Hyder, Dartwan Bush and Will Smith), Williams wants to be a leader for some of the younger players.
"A lot of guys look up to me," he said. "If the guys look up to you, knowing that they're looking up to you, you want to go all out."

My wife and I stated at the Sleep Inn & Suites in Charles City, Iowa for 6 nights in late June and early July.
I was a bit disappointed that with that long of a stay they didn't give us one of their suites. They did offer to move us after a day or so but at that point we had already settled in and didn't want to move.
The room was adequate size. The bed was very comfortable. It was quite hot and humid during our stay and the air conditioner did a great job of keeping our room comfortable. It was also quiet.
The morning breakfast was fairly standard for a place in this budget range. Every morning there was some kind of pre-cooked egg dish, make your own waffles, pastries and bread, a limited offering of fresh fruit, boiled eggs, coffee and juice. It got monotonous after a few days but was convenient.
Don't worry about a room with a view because there isn't one. It's on the edge of town with nothing much to see in any direction other than a car lot and a K-Mart. There is a nice convenience store and gas station right next to it that had a surprisingly good selection of food, drinks and sundries.
Next time we go to Charles City we'll probably stay here again.

Fall TV
What are you watching this season? I'm happy that all my favorite shows are back on!!! I watch a little bit of each network (ABC, CBS, FOX, and NBC) as well as some cable networks. So there is a lot of DVR'ing going on here. Any of you watching Revolution? I am really liking it so far. It goes along with some of our Dystopian book loving themes.
Quoting MaryanneMac:
I really need to watch more tv.
I should probably say that I need to watch LESS tv. lol

i keep this plant in my living room on a speaker in the corner, where it receives a little light in the morning. not much though, due to the 3 big oak trees shading my front yard. it does well well though, has grown some in the year i have had it, and tolerates some neglect.. (i sometimes forget to water it) i love how it grows in a rosette form; it's an adoreable little plant! a good pick for those with self proclaimed "black thumbs", as this plant requires very little maintenance, and will take some neglect and continue to thrive. does well indoors, or outdoors in the shade.

This plant can grow only as a houseplant where I live, but what a tough little plant it is! They will tolerate a very broad range of lighting, are nearly impossible to kill, and they multiply steadily. I repot mine every 2 years or so, and always sever and repot most of the baby plants that have sprouted up.
On Aug 12, 2003, Maudie from Harvest, AL wrote:
These plants are very easy to grow and multiply rapidly. Good results are obtained by planting in window boxes after danger of frost and bringing them inside during the winter and water about once weekly. During summer months they require more water and will grow best in part shade. They make good house plants tolerating low light and neglect.

As middle school students across the state show limited growth on state assessment exams, a new coalition is pushing the Legislature to support Gov. Deval Patrick's plan to expand the day at more schools.
Made up of civic leaders, legislators and people from education and business, the coalition is being formed as Patrick seeks $5 million in the fiscal 2014 budget to allow for the planning of an extended day at middle schools mainly serving high-need students. Patrick is also hoping to increase funding to $70 million during the next five years to support the extended-day initiative.
The formation of the coalition comes after a group of 22 mayors and superintendents wrote Senate and House leaders to voice their support of the funding increase.
The effort comes as 90 schools in all grade levels, including charter schools, have expanded the day, adding at least 300 hours to the academic year. Included in that group is three Fall River schools, the Matthew J. Kuss Middle School and the Frank M. Silvia and Carlton Viveiros elementary schools.
To those in the program, the money is worth the investment. Chris Gabrieli, chairman of Mass 2020, said the schools that have participated have observed improvements, with expanded-learning-time students four times more likely to score in the high-growth percentile on the math portion of the annual Massachusetts Comprehensive Assessment System exam. Students taking the English language arts exam are two and a half times more likely place in the high-growth category than their peers.
"There is a clear enough track that this can be done and it can be done in different parts of the state," Gabrieli said.
Members of the coalition said the effort is targeting the middle school level because gains from various programs have already been seen at the elementary school level, while scores from middle school students have remained relatively flat.
Revere Superintendent Paul Dakin added that, at the middle school level, there is additional concern about what students are doing when the final bell rings. He said having students in school longer pays off and noted that the extended day has had great success in his district. He said it is a model that more districts could take advantage of to close achievement gaps. He acknowledged, however, that it does require a shift in educational thinking.
"The thinking has to change on how we run our schools," Dakin said. "The agrarian calendar has to go away."
Advocates praise the expanded program for not only providing schools with the opportunity to increase time spent on core subjects such as math, English and science, but also for creating the time to place enrichment programs back into the school day. In some cases, Gabrieli said, those programs are what creates the hook that keeps kids in school.
While Patrick has included extended-day funding in his budget proposal, the coalition is now hoping the House and Senate will do the same with their spending plans. Gabrieli expressed hope that the inclusion of the leaders from the joint committee on education in the coalition, as well as Fall River-area legislators Sen. Michael Rodrigues, D-Westport, and Rep. Patricia Haddad, D-Somerset, will give the initiative a boost.
Page 2 of 2 - "They're engaged and listening to the arguments," said Matthew Malone, Patrick's education secretary. "We're encouraged with what we're hearing right now."

I haven't posted here in forever. I can't wait for the kindergarten school supplies lists to be posted here...with the school needing 95 boxes of Kleenexs (that brand only) and 50 boxes of Ziplocs.
When does school start back for your kids?
I love it too and it annoys the heck out of me that our lists aren't out yet. My kids go back August 4th and we are going to be gone almost all of July. Leaving on the 10th, back on the 26th...which gives me one week to get school supplies, unless they get them out soon.
They go back the middle of August. I think the 18th. We get our generic school supply list in mid July usually and then a teacher specific one end of July/early August.
16 pounds lost. 59 pounds to go...
Trying to lose weight? Join us on the Flab to Fit board for motivation and support.
They're not even out until next Thursday (26th).
They go back September 2nd.

In the Extreme Sailing Series, The Wave, Muscat continued to make ground on the rest of the fleet in Muscat with another strong performance on the second day of racing while Oman Air's young crew added 'light air racing' to their growing Extreme 40 knowledge base.
The Extreme Sailing Series 2014. Act 2. Oman Air skippered by Rob Greenhalgh (GBR) and The Wave, Muscat skippered by Leigh McMillan (GBR)
Six races were held in the waters off the Almouj Golf Club and despite a breeze that dipped and built then dipped again, the racing community was kept entertained by some enthusiastic cheek by jowl competition which once again proved challenging for all 11 crews.
The crew on The Wave, Muscat skippered by Leigh McMillan once again showed cool heads in the sweltering heat, recording three podium places from six races including a win in the first race of the day.
Their points haul could have been greater had they not dropped from second to last place in the penultimate race of the day. According to McMillan, a wind shift left them 'in a tangle' stuck in the middle of the fleet with no wind and nowhere to go.
The Extreme Sailing Series 2014. Act 2. Muscat. The Wave, Oman - Nasser Al Mashari
'It was a really good performance by the team apart from one major setback in Race 12 which cost us six or seven points and the top spot on the leaderboard,' he explained.
'We were in second place and the wind shifted which left us in a bit of tangle. We got stuck with no wind. Everyone sailed around us and we ended up hitting the mark too so we did our penalty and sailed on in last place. It was a silly mistake but we shall be back to normal tomorrow.'
As two time Extreme Sailing Series champion, McMillan is regarded as a formidable opponent in the Extreme 40 fleet with an almost matchless knowledge of what it takes to win, whatever the conditions.
To win in Muscat, he said simply, you need to stay 'cool'.
'You have to stay as cool as you can in these conditions and look for opportunities without getting too caught up with the other boats. Sail in clean air and get the boat rolling. Quite often we are successful at that but not always.'
This steady consistency hoisted McMillan and his crew of Sarah Ayton, Kinley Fowler, Pete Greenhalgh and Nasser Al Mashari, from fourth place to second – just three points behind leaders Alinghi with two days, and around 15 races, remaining.
The Extreme Sailing Series 2014. Act 2. Muscat. Oman Air skippered Rob Greenhalgh (GBR) with headsail trimer Will Howden (GBR), trimer Tom Johnson (AUS), bowman Hashim Al Rashdi (OMA) and bowman Musab Al Hadi (OMA)
Putting in such a strong performance in front of family and friends left Al Mashari, who has become one of Oman's best-known sportsmen, eager for more success.
'We've had a very good day,' he said. 'My family has been watching from the beach – my brother has called me three times while I've been racing and he is really enjoying it. Oman means everything to me and racing on The Wave, Muscat is a real challenge but it means we get to raise the Omani flag all over the world which makes me very proud.'
The light and patchy wind meant mistakes on the start line were rife across the fleet with 12 teams penalized for being over the line when the flag went up. These included Rob Greenhalgh's Oman Air, whose two errors cost them dear, dropping them one place in the ranking.
The Extreme Sailing Series 2014. Act 2. Muscat. Oman Air skipper Rob Greenhalgh (GBR)
Learning from these errors placed them in a stronger position for the future, said crewman Will Howden.
'It was a tough day for us. We set out with high expectations but we made two errors at the start that hampered our progress but we had some good races too.
'We are a young team and going forward things are looking good but we need to be more consistent. We feel we are improving more than the other teams because our learning curve is so steep that any improvement makes a difference.'
Both teams drew extra inspiration from the amazing new trans-ocean records set by Britain's quadriplegic sailor Hilary Lister and Oman Sail's Nashwa Al Kindi who sailed into Muscat on Wednesday night having completed the 850nm passage across the Indian Ocean from Mumbai in just nine days.

Polaris gobbled up another interesting asset with the acquisition of Timbersled Products, Inc. This Sandpoint, Idaho-based company produces snow bikes – basically a dirt bike outfitted with a snowmobile-like track. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
Polaris gobbled up another interesting asset with the acquisition of Timbersled Products, Inc. This Sandpoint, Idaho-based company produces snow bikes – basically a dirt bike outfitted with a snowmobile-like track. Terms of the transaction were not disclosed.
In what has to be the most Canadian story of the year, the Canadian Press is reporting that the Canadian military has been secretly testing a $620,000 stealth snowmobile.
We first heard about this project two years ago when Canadian Department of Defence posted a public tender for a hybrid-electric snowmobile (you can read about that here). According to the tender, the stealth snowmobile required a range of at least 15 kilometers (about nine miles) at an average speed of 20 km/h (12 mph) when in quiet mode. The tender also stated that the stealth snowmobile must have the ability to switch to silent mode easily and quickly with minimal tools. CrossChasm Technologies from Waterloo, Ont. put together the winning bid and built the prototype.
Anybody's who's been snowmobiling long enough has thought of ways to make things a little more exciting once in a while. One thing we never considered was attaching a parachute to your sled and seeing what happens. British Columbia's Eric Oddy did just that and managed to create a new sport – parasledding.
If not for the attached video, we would have questioned whether this was even possible. Alas, the camera doesn't lie. We're not sure we'd have the stones to try and pull something like this off, but we're sure glad somebody did. So who's next?

Now that we've got your attention, the answer is a definitive "NO!" However, Ducati's MotoGP motorcycle racers Valentino Rossi and Nicky Hayden did play around on a Ski-Doo kitted with a Ducati paint job at an annual press event.
The Wroom press event is held jointly by Ducati's MotoGP team and Ferrrari's F1 squad every winter. This year's event took place at Madonna di Campiglio in Italy. Besides the dressed up Ski-Doo, Ducati and Ferrari racers also competed in some four-wheeled ice racing, first in Karts then in Fiat 500 cars.

Concept vehicles are always kind of fun. Sure, the mast majority will never reach production, but it's interesting to see what designers can come up with.
We recently came across a unique hydrogen-powered model that uses electric motors that was designed by Jessica Covi, an industrial design student at the University of Applied Arts in Vienna.
Dubbed Nanuq, this unit features a hydrogen fuel cell system that provides power to a battery pack and electric engines. This concept is wider in the rear than a traditional snowmobile and features two narrow tracks rather than a single wide one. Other features on the Nanuq include side-view cameras, GPS navigation, airbag, rollbar and seatbelt harness.
So what do you think of the Nanuq? How far away are we from a snowmobile not powered by traditional fuel sources?

ASK IRA: Are players, owners killing the NBA?
Q: It's looking more and more like the entire 2011-2012 season will be lost to this lockout. If that is true, how can the league win back its fans? Many fans will move on from basketball and indulge in college football, pro football, baseball, heck, even hockey. I'm a diehard Heat fan, but, more importantly, a basketball fan. If the season is lost because of a lockout I would make it a point to not watch games for a little while just to show how disappointed I am as a fan with the league. — David.
A: First, I don't think it is "looking" any particular way. At this point it's just a bunch of pointed rhetoric. I do think Billy Hunter and David Stern are embarrassing the sport that pays their check by creating an atmosphere of gloom, negativity and arrogance. It is another area where the NFL trumped the NBA, with its approach to the lockout, when there still was NFL talk about current NFL players, including on NFL Network. Now, we're having the union talking about players blowing off their loyal fans with cash grabs overseas, and the NBA banning any discussion of the league itself, be it on team websites or NBA TV. You have a right to be disappointed. Neither side is managing the lockout particularly well. Money first; fans last.
Q: LeBron is by far the best player in the league. These "Heat Haters" are so overwhelmed by hate that they don't see this guy is a walking triple-double. I guess my question is: What do you honestly think has to happen for the Heat to win it all? — Riko.
A: Win two more games in the Finals. They were that close. The more we move away from that June disappointment, the more you hope that the accomplishments begin to resonate a bit more positively. Of course, the negatively regarding the lockout doesn't help.
Q: If the league thinks desertification would void all active contracts, aren't there some owners who would want that, with all the bad deals they've signed? — Angel.
A: Sure, but they also would want to cherry pick, sort of like the league's amnesty rule before the last collective-bargaining agreement. It's not as if the Mavericks would want to risk voiding of the deal of Nowitzki just to get the contract of Haywood off their books.
Q: Did Beasley ruin his career enough with his latest marijuana arrest and streetball incident that the Heat could bring him back with a minimum contract? — Kerry.
A: You have no idea of some of the back stories regarding Michael and the Heat, or the lengths the Heat went to try to make that work. You're more likely to see a Pat Cummings reunion with the Heat.
Q: Why do you keep writing and hating on Beasley? — Baran.
A: I prefer to look at it as reporting on a player the Heat spent the No. 2 overall pick in the 2008 draft on. It was a major moment in the franchise's history and one that continues to resonate.

Newspaper article The Christian Science Monitor
African Nations Lack Fair Share of Aid and Attention, Reports Say as Population Rises and Economic Growth Falls, Africa Needs Increased Western Assistance and a Redirection of Its Own Resources
Article excerpt
LIFE is getting tougher for most Africans, as economic growth slows and population rates continue to rise faster than anywhere else in the world, according to two major reports issued this week - one from Africa, and one from Washington.
And by the end of this century, it is estimated that half the deaths in the world caused by AIDS will occur in Africa, according to the World Health Organization (WHO), which met this week in Geneva.
Taken together, the three reports underline the need for increased Western assistance to Africa, as well as some shifting of African priorities, according to both Western and African analysts.
"To a certain extent, Africa is being seen as a basket case," says David Whaley, resident representative here of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP). But, he added in an interview here yesterday, "there has been a massive diversion of resources and attention from Africa" to other parts of the world, especially Eastern Europe and the former Soviet Union.
Africa is no longer getting its fair share, which will make tackling economic and population problems all the harder, he says. "There should be a marked increase of resources" to Africa from the West, Mr. Whaley says.
In Geneva, WHO officials complain that not enough money is being committed by the developing world to the fight against AIDS, especially in places like Africa.
But it is not just a matter of more money, experts say.
African governments, for example, should redirect some of their own spending away from their armies to AIDS educational programs, the African Development Bank (ADB) said yesterday as it opened its annual meeting in Abidjan, capital of the Ivory Coast.
The ADB also criticized some African governments, including Tanzania's, for trying to meet donor demands for slimmer federal budgets by chopping back educational and health services.
"Key social sector services, especially to the poor, often proved to be the softest targets for cuts," ADB vice president Ferhat Lounes told reporters in Abidjan. Such cutbacks can eventually slow development, he added. A better approach, according to the Bank, is to trim unproductive jobs in state companies, then retrain laid off workers. Gloomy economic forecast
The ADB gave a gloomy economic forecast for Africa for 1993, noting that gross domestic product (GDP) had declined from 2. …

Mixed Youth Choir "Iuventus Cantat"
This is not a traditional local custom tip, but anyway....
Mixed Youth Choir of the Choral Society of Sombor was founded in 1985 as part of the Choral Society of Sombor. Under the direction of its founder, artistic director and conductor Silvestar Hajnal (he died in 2002) manage to attain great reputation in the country and abroad in short period of time. The Choir is a member of the European federation of Youth Choirs, based in Germany and member of INTERKULTUR Foundatin.
The Choir's repertoire includes the works of both Yugoslav and foreign composers, from early renaissance to contemporary authors.
They are participating in all major domestic and international choral festivals and have won many first and special prizes, charters and diplomas (Golden diploma – Budapest where also the conductor Silvestar Hajnal was awarded as a Best Conductor, Greece – second place, Rome – first prize and golden medal, Linz: First Choral Olympics – 2nd place, Budapest –3 golden plaques, Langhollen – first prize, Corea – first place…)
They are really something and best "music to ears and soul"!

Fish Potage - Riblji paprikas
Every summer on Holy Trinity Square is organized a competition in making a "Fish potage" (Riblji paprikas) with appropriate music program. So the whole square gets cowered with tables, chares, fish potages and lots of people - all that in great atmosphere.
So, if you are willing to try it, but don't have a recipe - here is one:
"Chop finely 250 g of onion and boil in a little water to soften. Add fish, cut into slices ca 5 cm wide (best with 2 kg carp with a piece of pike and a piece of sheath fish - if possible). Add 2.5 liters of water and bring to boil, the add 4 tablespoons of paprika, 1 tablespoon of hot pepper, 1 dl of tomato juice (or 2 dl of white wine), and salt to taste. Cook for further 45 minutes. From time to time shake the cauldron vigorously to prevent fish from sticking to its bottom.
Serve with homemade wide noodles and white wine.
NOTE: Genuine fish stew must be sufficiently salty and hot, and prepared outdoors on open fire."
Enjoy and have a nice meal!!!
- Arts and Culture
Traditions and Customs
The population of the municipality of Sombor is made up of more than 20 national groups constituting a true wealth of folklore (customs, national costumes, valuable hand-made items). In some villages (Stapar, Backi Monostor, Backi Breg) kilims (carpets) are still being woven, and national costumes or other objects for everyday use made: towels, aprons, mats…
Especially colourful are the national costumes of the Shokci of Backi Monostor and Backi Breg, of the Hungarians of Doroslovo or of the Bunjevci at farmsteads
The art of carpet weaving has always been a women's winter job. The ornaments (rose, dear, goose, comb, geometric patterns) are a means by which a woman, deliberately or unintentionally, has been speaking of herself and her life.
Sombor Cheese
Made for more than two centuries at the farms and in the villages in the environs of Sombor. Originally a sheep's milk product, it has been made from cow's milk since the early twentieth centur.
The secret of chees making mother didn't pass on to her daughter (becouse daughter will get married and take the secret from her home) but mother in law to her daughter in law.
Of course today there is no more secret and cheese is being produced in factory "Somboled" that is keeping the tradition of it.

The region falls into three distinct areas with different characteristics:
The Pyreneean region to the south, stretching along the border with Spain and into the eastern Pyrenees.
The central part of the Languedoc (Aude and Herault departments) around the medieval architecture of Carcassonne and the cathar castles and traversed by the Canal du Midi. Several well known wines are also produced in this region.

"Fantastic region of France to explore, great house and one of the best views ever!"
The house, its location and the area lived up to our high expectations. We had a very pleasant week's stay, and especially enjoyed the pool and barbeque area. There is plenty of space both inside and out, and the amenities are to a high standard and comfortable, whilst retaining a certain rustic charm. There were six of us in our party, but up to eight people, especially if some are children, would be equally comfortable. A decent car is a definite must for guests at Al Vignon, as this is a hilly location with winding roads, which are steep, stony and narrow in places. It is worth it though because the surrounding countryside is very pretty and the views of the Eastern Pyrenees from the back of the house are very special. Sitting out looking at the view at all hours of the day/evening is very peaceful and relaxing. However, this is not the holiday location for anyone seeking nightlife or lots of nearby bars and restaurants, or even shops. It feels quite remote, but then again, that is its main appeal. The owners recommended we book ahead for the restaurant "Petanque, Poulet et Bicyclette" (Chicken on a Bike), which is close-by, completely outdoors, situated in the woods, with its own lake complete with waterfalls and fish! Well worth a visit for excellent food, wine and very friendly service in a unique setting. We spent fun days out driving through the superb scenery to Carcassonne and up over the mountain pass to the coast. Gorge de Galamus is well worth the drive. Quillan is also a pretty little town and the local-ish super/hypermarkets are plentiful and very well stocked.

"Absolutely Amazing!"
We stayed at this holiday villa for 9 days and it was easily the best holiday we have had in a really long time! The house is very big and as we were only two it was amazing to have so much space! It has all the mod cons you might need. The kitchen is fully equipped and it was easy to cook here which is what we did for most of our stay. The pool is also spectacular and was clean and fresh. The house is very convenveniently located to get to bigger villages/towns. Quillan is just a 5minute drive away down the hill (closest grocer) and also has a fair few lovely restaurants to sample. (Le Palace next to the river comes highly recommended). We drove to most of the Chateu in the region (Le Renne, Montsegur, Puilaurens, Quiribus, Peyerpetuse) which was a very good intense experience! We also visited a vineyard where we tasted some delicious wines and then also stayed for a Michelin starred lunch at Domain Gayda near Bruggaroilles. Lastly we even went on a day trip to Barcelona which I would also strongly recommend. We ate paella and swam in the Med! The best thing about the trips out however, is coming back to the villa and as you drive up into the drive way the view will take your breath away... every time!

One of Hanover's newest businesses is probably better known by customers that live several states away, Kerry Dilks said. That scenario should change quickly, Dilks said, as area residents find out about her new enterprise selling fresh water aquarium fish which offers personalized customer service not found at big box stores.
Fins and Scales of Hanover, 214 Poplar St., Hanover, quietly opened its doors in January with all of the advertising being done only over the internet. Since that silent opening, fresh water fish enthusiasts from all over the eastern seaboard have been beating a path to her door, Dilks laughed.
"When people find out the variety of fish that I sell they are amazed," Dilks said, "Some customers drive for hours to get here because they know I have exactly what they want."
It is difficult for her to keep some of the most sought after species in stock as customers quickly buy them, Dilks said, such as the Frontosa, which when full grown get to be over a foot long and are very colorful.
Dilks is a 1998 graduate of South Western High School and started her journey into raising fresh water tropical fish as a hobby after her father, David Dilks, gave her a large aquarium as a gift. At the advice of her father, who had raised fish successfully when he was younger, she decided to buy and raise fresh water aquarium fish.
That decision led her to begin working with Cichlids, which are eye-catching colorful fresh water tropical fish from Africa, Central America and South America, Dilks said.
"Most people don't realize there are thousands of kinds of beautiful and colorful Cichlids," Dilks said, "There are many more varieties of Cichlids than there are of salt water aquarium fish and Cichlids take way less maintenance."
Dilks' Cichlid hobby quickly became a passion as she began devouring every book and educational material that she could find on the subject, and then she joined the Cichlid Club of York.
"I joined the club and the rest is history. They are the best of the best," laughed Dilks, "The people at the Cichlid Club are amazing. We had an instant chemistry and they are all now like family," Dilks said, noting that the club has more than 50 members ranging in age from youth to seniors.
Many "famous fish keepers" give presentations at the club's monthly meetings, Dilks said, which keeps the circle of education expanding.
Her own expertise and knowledge for raising Cichlids began to spread by word of mouth among club members, friends and friends of friends about a year ago, Dilks said, and many people began to reach out to her for help to start or maintain their aquariums.
"I kept getting random phone calls from people who had went to big box stores and picked out fish and they all died," Dilks said, "I saw that there was a real need for a place where customers could buy healthy fish and learn how to keep them that way."
One of the biggest problems with buying fish from a 'big box' store, Dilks said, is that customers may pick out fish that they like, but may be putting together varieties that were never meant to be in the same tank.
"Education is the key to having a successful Cichlid aquarium," Dilks said, "You have to know the correct balance of ph and the structure of the tank and which species can be put together."
For example some fish are docile and try to get closer to people, Dilks said, such as her favorite the beautiful 'giraffe painted' Nimbochromis Venustus Cichlid which swims to the front of the tank and 'watches' all that is going on.
Some other Cichlids, such as Oscars, can be much more aggressive and should be kept only with other fish of similar temperament, Dilks said, or they could destroy their tank mates.
"Cichlids are the dogs of fresh water," Dilks said, "They each have a distinct personality and seem to love people. But just like dogs you don't want to put them all together without knowing if they like each other."
The 'people watching' Cichlids are also a great stress reliever for their owners observing them, Dilks said, and a great educational pet for children.
Dilks' own two children, 4-year-old Lorelei and 10-year-old Sharon, each have their own aquarium stocked with their own favorite fish.
Sharon, who is in the fourth grade at Bermudian Springs Elementary, has become quite the Cichlid expert herself, Dilks said proudly, and even wrote an award winning article that was published in a fresh-water fish keeper's newsletter.
"I really enjoy having fish and learning more about them," Sharon said, "A lot of kids sit around playing video games but I want to do more than that. I want to learn all I can so I can help other people learn more about fish and their environments."
Teaching customers how to set up the perfectly balanced aquarium with compatible fish is the goal of her entire business, Dilks said.
"I want my customers to be happy and I want them to be able to enjoy what they have," Dilks said, "I enjoy educating people on the many kinds of different Cichlids and making sure that my customers have the correct balance and structures in their tanks to support the fish that they have chosen."
To that objective Dilks also sells fish food, plus drift wood, live plants and rocks that would be normal in the Cichlids environment. She has dozens of different types of young and adult Cichlids for sale and constantly updates her supply with shipments directly from Africa, and Central and South America.
Dilks said that she can take special orders if customers are looking for a specific Cichlid, as she has contacts available so she can usually have the desired fish in stock within just a few days.
Another plus for customers, Dilks said, is that her prices are very reasonable.
"Because I'm a mom I am always on the lookout for a bargain and I want to give my customers a bargain too," Dilk said.
All business hours at Fish and Scales of Hanover are by appointment only, Dilks said, as she meets with each customer separately so that all questions can be answered.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Health Center
7 Ways to Ease RA Depression
It's normal to feel a little overwhelmed when facing a long-term illness. With rheumatoid arthritis, the chances of being depressed are about double those of people who don't have RA.
More and more studies link depression and RA pain. The good news is that you can do a number of things to boost your mood and emotional wellness.
Things to Know About RA and Depression
People with rheumatoid arthritis have high levels of certain immune system proteins that trigger inflammation, studies have shown. These proteins may also play a role in the onset of depression, but scientists aren't sure how.
Another link between the conditions is this: People who are no longer able to do everyday tasks that are important to them, "whether it's working or dropping the kids off at school, are more likely to have depression," says Mary Margaretten, MD. She's an assistant professor of medicine in the division of rheumatology at the University of California, San Francisco.
RA can make you feel low, and that can make your symptoms worse.
Depression can:
- Make it harder to live with your disease
- Cause more pain
- Create challenges at work
- Slow down your body
- Lower your quality of life
Ways to Ease Depression
Rheumatologists share these tips to manage RA-related depression.
1. Seize the day. "Get out of bed, get yourself put together, and get dressed," says W. Hayes Wilson, MD. He's chief of rheumatology at Piedmont Hospital in Atlanta. "If you let yourself get pinned to your bed and you can't get anything done, you will feel worse."
2. Get moving. Exercise strengthens muscles and helps protect your joints. It also recharges the mind and spirit.
Walking is great exercise for people with RA. "It's important to move," Wilson says. "You don't have to walk far, but walking together in a group really helps fight depression."
Ask a friend to be your walking buddy, or check out the Arthritis Foundation's Walk With Ease program.
3. Talk more, text less. Have a friendly face-to-face conversation with someone.
"Today we have a lot of electronics that stop people from having personal communication," Wilson says. "Get out and be with someone."

^ I think if the Breen got any collateral results from their subterfuge activities they would have been happy with those as well. That wormhole ship was like the pearl of great value that they were willing to do anything to get it. Sure the androids were a great resource to have but the Breen leader thought the engines were a greater tactical advantage. And for all we know, they still have some of the androids left.
As to everyone saying how stupid the plan was, many Breen agreed, which is why there was a change in leadership. However, had his plan succeeded, he would have been highly regarded by his people. Fortune favors the bold but sometimes the bold die or come back empty handed.
"Can anyone remember when we used to be explorers?"
