Most stimulating — for this Anglophone historian, at least — has been the reintegration of religious history into mainstream social and political history generally, and also the heightened sense of an international movement embracing an entire continent and beyond. We no longer make artificial distinctions between the Reformations of the Atlantic Isles and those on the mainland; we can see more clearly what is local and what is part of an international phenomenon; and we can also appreciate the artificiality of considering Protestantism in iso-lation from reform movements in both the Pre-Reformation Western Church and Post-Tridentine Roman Catholicism. I commend the advantages of emancipating religious history from specific religious commitment. I also discuss the effect of the breaking down of barriers to travel and research in the wake of the 1989–90 revolutions in the recovery of our sense of the importance of Reformations in Eastern Europe, and also highlight our realization that a heritage of Southern European dissent shaped the heterodoxy that dissolved Reformation certainties.
While the Reformation has, from the very beginning, been seen as a drama which drew its cast from every sphere of society, the Counter-Reformation was until recently considered the project of elites. Even those who sought to write the social history of the Catholic reform movement allocated to "the people" the role of resisting the course of change rather than contributing to the transformation of early modern Catholicism. Swimming against this tide, a succession of local case studies, focusing in particular on rituals and objects, has demonstrated the manifold ways in which men and women of all social backgrounds participated in the reinvention of Roman Catholicism. This paper considers new emphases in the social and cultural history of the Counter-Reformation, and asks whether there remains a place for thinking about the age of reform in terms of discipline and confessionalization.
For a generation, writing about the English Reformation has been dominated by debates about the character, pace, and popularity of the transition from Catholic to Protestant belief and practice in England. These "revisionist" debates have had a regrettable tendency to produce artificial polarities from a complex set of processes, and some recent studies, such as Norman Jones's The English Reformation, Eamon Duffy's Voices of Morebath and Ethan Shagan's Popular Politics and the English Reformation, have attempted to move beyond these polarities to consider the processes by which England became Protestant. This paper surveys some of these studies and attempts an overview of the state of English Reformation historiography.
Hugues Salel's translation of the Iliad was intended for noble, warrior readers, a conclusion based largely on internal evidence, both from the physical book (including its woodcuts) and from the French rendering of Homer's epic. This article looks at the book's verbal and visual texts to understand how Salel's translation of the Iliad is shaped in anticipation of its contemporary reception. It examines a translation into the vernacular of one of antiquity's masterpieces, as well as what noble readers knew and wanted to know, and questions the purposes and processes of the production of illustrations and marginalia in the period.
This article compares voyage narratives printed in Richard Hakluyt's 1589 Principall Navigations to contemporaneous travel histories in an effort to contextualize the epistemological status of each group of texts and debunk the former's reputation for greater factuality. It critiques the use commonly made of Hakluyt's narratives in literary studies, arguing that the privileging of these texts over other sources results in postcolonial studies that ironically valorize a type of writing which promoted the colonial mindset these studies seek to expose.
Francesco Primaticcio designed his celebrated Galerie d'Ulysse at Fontainebleau (now destroyed) at a time when the epic genre was being updated and redefined. One of the most popular scenes from the gallery, Ulysses and Penelope recounting their adventures to one another in bed (from book 23 of the Odyssey), was adapted and revised in an independent composition by Primaticcio himself: Ulysses and Penelope (Toledo Museum of Art, ca. 1560). In contrast to the Fontainebleau mural, the artist's self-conscious, refined pictorial language for his canvas converts epic energy into lyric sentimentality. As a result, Penelope becomes the central focus of the new composition. Through the language of gesture the painting stresses such themes as beauty and desire, and further employs such prized poetic devices as reversal (peripeteia) and recognition (anagnorisis). By responding to the formal prescriptions of both the epic and romance genres, Primaticcio exploits the expressive and visual potential of the Homeric episode in an utterly novel way. The painting opens up questions into ways of reading, viewing, and interpreting mythic subject matter in sixteenth-century France.

A NATION CHALLENGED: THE ARTS; For Theaters and Museums, a Rapid Rebound
By ROBIN POGREBIN
Published: March 12, 2002
New York City's major theaters and museums, which suffered a devastating drop in attendance after Sept. 11, have rebounded so strongly that several of them are reaching or exceeding pre-attack attendance predictions and even doing better than they were a year ago.
Outside the Museum of Modern Art lines are extending down the block on many days, and attendance at the Metropolitan Museum of Art is heavier on weekends than it was last year at this time. The New York City Ballet is within a percentage point of pre-September attendance projections for its ''Nutcracker'' and winter repertory performances. And for the week ended Sunday, Broadway set box office records for this time of year with revenues up 18 percent and attendance up 6 percent over the same week last year.
''Certainly after Sept. 11 we were all terrified this would be the worst winter in commercial theater history and that has not proven to be the case at all,'' said Todd Haimes, artistic director of the Roundabout Theater Company, which owns the American Airlines Theater on Broadway. ''For whatever reason people are coming to New York and people are buying theater tickets, and it's wonderful.''
Almost no one could have predicted such a rapid recovery last fall, when attendance at museums was off by as much as 60 percent and Broadway and Off Broadway were jolted by eerily near-empty theaters and the closings of shows like ''Stones in His Pockets'' and ''A Thousand Clowns.''
The effects of the attack along with a flaccid economy and the anticipated box office chill of winter were expected to scare away potential theater investors, prompt wholesale cancellations for the spring and claim even such seemingly permanent Broadway institutions as ''The Phantom of the Opera'' and ''Les Misérables,'' which depend heavily on tourists.
Instead, 16 shows are scheduled to open on Broadway between now and next fall, and every theater is booked in the spring except one.
Experts, who remain cautious about whether the current vigor can be sustained and expanded, attribute some of the boost to an increase in domestic tourism to the city and to current cultural attractions. The revivals of ''Oklahoma!'' and ''Sweet Smell of Success'' with John Lithgow are selling well in previews, and at the Modern two exhibitions are packing them in: the retrospective of the German painter Gerhard Richter and a Sept. 11-inspired photography show called ''Life of the City.''
But arts professionals say the upturn is primarily due to multiple efforts, fueled by major advertising campaigns, to draw audiences from the city, the suburbs and the Northeast Corridor to fill the gaps left by the continuing dearth of foreign tourists.
''The New Yorkers are coming,'' said Jed Bernstein, president of the Broadway-focused League of American Theaters and Producers. And, he might have added, those who live close to them as well.
Michael Malthaner, the music director at Hunter Creek High School near Erie, Pa., for one, said he decided not to cancel his annual trip to New York this May to see shows with his 20-member vocal ensemble. ''There is so much culture in New York,'' he said. ''The students don't get that kind of exposure here. I think it's important that we don't fear travel.''
Deborah Johnson, vice president of tours and excursions for Hampton Jitney, the bus line that serves the South Fork of Long Island, said her Broadway show trips have been selling out. The tours -- which include lunch, orchestra seats and round-trip travel -- largely draw older Long Island residents from Montauk to Commack. ''People are looking for enjoyment,'' Ms. Johnson said.
The Museum of Modern Art is counting 4,000 to 4,500 visitors a day, double the 2,000 estimate the museum predicted for this period after Sept. 11 and exactly what it was drawing a year ago. This is a big lift from autumn; the museum's attendance was down 40 percent in September.
Perhaps even more remarkably, only one-third of the museum is open, because the rest is under renovation.
''Local audience has picked up dramatically,'' said Glenn D. Lowry, the Modern's director.
The New York City Ballet said it, too, had New Yorkers to thank for a surprisingly strong season. ''We are essentially whole,'' said Christopher Ramsey, the ballet's director of external affairs. Next door in Lincoln Center, business at the Metropolitan Opera, after a post-Sept. 11 drop in ticket sales, has been topping last year's numbers since Jan. 1.
Many cultural institutions attribute their success in drawing New York-area patrons to a shift to local advertising and away from national and international spending. Though arts groups would not give figures for their marketing efforts, many major museums said they were doing a lot of radio advertising, compared with little or none in the past. ''We spent an enormous amount of time building our local audience, and that's really paying off,'' Mr. Lowry said.
The Metropolitan Museum, where attendance was down 60 percent in September but has been climbing back since, is advertising more heavily in the metropolitan New York region area as well as along the so-called Amtrak corridor to reach people in Philadelphia, Washington and Boston. Philippe de Montebello, the Met's director, recently returned from promoting the Met's shows in Europe, as he typically does each year. But this time, he spoke not only to arts journalists but also to tour-group planners and travel agents.

Daisy's face was smeared with tears,
These are tears of joy from being reunited with Gatsby. Contrast these tears with the dejected tears she cried on the day she married Tom, which Jordan described in Chapter 4:
Tell 'em all Daisy's change' her mine. Say 'Daisy's change' her mine!'.'
She began to cry—she cried and cried. I rushed out and found her mother's maid and we locked the door and got her into a cold bath.

And consider health care. Sad to say, but the paramedics who treat our soldiers on the battlefields in Iraq and Afghanistan are not allowed to provide the same services back home for people who can't afford, and perhaps don't need, the attention of a physician. Although the restrictions differ from state to state, laws everywhere "protect" patients from care delivered by anyone other than a physician. This is despite studies showing that non-physician clinicians can competently provide from 60 percent to 90 percent of all primary care.
In some parts of the country, walk-in clinics in shopping malls allow nurses to give flu shots, take temperatures, prescribe antibiotics and deliver other timely, inexpensive care. But even these innovative services are often saddled with burdensome regulations. For example, in Massachusetts, regulations for clinics have such cost-increasing requirements as a separate entrance for patients, minimum size requirements for exam rooms, and a separate reception desk. When low-income families find they cannot afford private care, what's the alternative? Community health centers and the emergency rooms of safety net hospitals. Yet these care sites often involve crowding and waiting, which limits access to care.
Child care is another basic service needed by many low-income families. In fact, low-income families spend about a third of their income on child care, as much as a typical middle-income family might spend on a home. In recent years, state and local governments have been making child care ever more costly, however. All manner of regulations are emerging, including the licensing of day care workers. Did you know that in most places, it's illegal for a neighbor down the street to oversee children from the neighborhood for pay? Again, what's the alternative? Low-income mothers must seriously consider abandoning the labor market altogether and rely solely on the welfare state.
Even a basic activity like keeping the neighborhood safe runs into regulatory barriers. In response to inadequate public police protection, an increasingly popular alternative is private police. In the United States, private security guards actually outnumber public police officers by a ratio of three to one; and they can perform most, if not all, of the necessary law enforcement tasks. Yet, government regulation has created substantial barriers for would-be security firms, including criminal background checks, examinations, training requirements, and insurance and bonding minimums.
A task force report produced by the National Center for Policy analysis calls for an end to these senseless policies, and advocates allowing our lowest-income citizens access to the benefits of the free market. I'll write about it in a future column.

Ok I'll bite..........I bet you think odumdum is doing a great job too eh?Richmonders are mean especially when they try to hide behind the internet to post. They are mean in an attempt to make themselves more important than what they are. They are mean in attempt to extort money from businesses. They are mean in their attempts to make sure the poor stay poor and the rich get richer. They are mean in their attempt to continue racism as it existed in 1960 and 1970. They are mean when they try to hurt people because they have something the mean person does not-drive, intelligence, income, success. They are mean overall. Look at this site Topix.com . Most of the post are just mean spirited-because that IS Richmond.

My suggestion would be to either go back to SW VA or elsewhere while you still have your sanity, your good name and reputation because you run a great risk of losing it all in this town, possibly even your life. There are some here who will spend their entire lives harassing and slandering others, usually the ones that aren't natives.
#155 Jun 27, 2010
These people are born harassers. They apparently have nothing else to do. I know some people who have been harassed a lifetime. So you can understand why they're still living in the middle ages. What your daughter can do is slap this person down either verbally or physically. It's not to her advantage to put up with being harassed. I'm speaking from experience.

You wanna experience meaner people, I have dealt with the ones that are in the Navy from Philadelphia, PA. I knew about 4 people from there and 3 of them are as mean as a snake. 2 of them have terrible tempers and 2 of them are very self-centered/snobbish. Again, this is not about Philadelphians in general as mean people exist anywhere. My point is that, I have seen worst people from other cities than Richmond.
#158 Jun 27, 2010
If I were New to Richmond and know what I know now, I would run like hell away from this place. Believe me, it doesn't get any better, it only gets worse. Some people here don't like other people especially the ones from "out of town" criticizing them or making them "look bad" so you might possibly even be targeted by one of the mafia-type gangster groups here and harassed and slandered for the rest of your life. This has been known to happen. I am not making it up. Personally I think moving to Venezuela or Zimbabwe might have been a better choice.

Venezuela and Zimbabwe, are you insane? Zimbabwe is a 3rd world country and possible a dictatorship. And Venezuela is definitely a dictatorship with Hugo Chavez running things there. You have limited freedom over there and if you get arrested for anything there, you will experience torture and inhumane conditions. Mafia gangsters? Honey, I am from Norfolk and I have even went to Chicago. Gangs are everywhere nowadays. You just need to be vigilant. I am always aware of them and I am strapped too, legally of course.

The official account of the race, com mon to all the daily papers, is as f .1 lows " About a quarter past three, after one false start and two or three minor failures, the lot went away at an excellent pace, the Angelica colt leading, followed by the Melody colt, Launcelot and Bokh·ra; with Confederate, Assassin, Little Wonder, and Scutarl next, and the others welt laid up. This order was observed for about half a mile, when the Melo y cox took up the run. ning, Launcelot lying second, Assassin third ; Augelica, Confederate, and Little Wonder, being the next lot; in going round tha turn, Little Won der passed Assassin, and took his place at Laun celot's quarters ; the Angelica colt was beaten off here ; in fact the three leading horses were all that were left in the race, neither Assassin nor Confederate having the slightest chance of win "ning. The Melody colt maintained his lead to the distance, and there it was all up with him ; Little Wonder then-challenged the * crack,' headed him in a few yards, was half a length before him ere he reached the stand, and went by the post a clever winner by a length-Melody third ; Con federate;,who passed Assassin at tiue distance, fourth; Assassin fifth, and Amurath sixth. Of the others it is only necessary to say that the tailing began before they reached the turn, and that Theon (who at one part of the day was at 20 to 1,) the Gift colt, and Sophocles, were the last three. Value of stakes after the usual deductions a £3,775. " Imniediately after the race, Mr. E. Anson, entered the weighing-place, and delivered to Mc donald an elegant riding-whip as a testimonial from Prince Albert of his admiration of his jockey e ship." . " The Marquis of Westminister and his friends are said to have lost heavily, as they had taken the odds (9 to 4) which were freely offered against Launecelot. The result of this racy should be b looked upon as a proof of Little Wonder's powers ; ,r but should not in the least detract from the very ht igh character which Lunselot has already ac quired.

They peep from out the blind, and o'er the bar, And truth to say, they're mostly very pretty; And rather like to shew it, more's the pity.--BEPPO. Even thus sung the bards of the manners in Venice, That far renowned city, where one Master Beppo, Resided in conjugal happineses, when his Business required him to visit Alleppo; And whilst he was there, what adventures befel, His good lady at home, it was needless to tell; Besides the dear girls might their pretty lips pout, If presuming their having read Byron to doubt; But letting that pass, of one thing I'm certain, With respect to their peeping from under the curtain, The ladies of Venice, and fair girls of Sydney, To me seem to be pretty much of a kidney, They both have a practice, which seems of the oddest, What the old folks at home would call bold and immodest, Of displaying their faces, and figures so charming, In a manner to bashful young men most alarming; I myself, ere I came here, was free from all cares, Never troubling myself about female affairs; But leading a good quiet bachelor's life, With no taste for flirtation, no call for a wife; Never bothered with vowing, protesting and swearing, With sighing, and dying, and fond sonneteering, Never meeting with scrapes, that young men often dart on, When they once get infectcd with love's divne passion, Never looking quite pale, interesting and stupid, As most people do when familiar with Cupid, But living contented, and happy, and gay, And thinking the sex very well in their way; But colonial habits, are very contagious, And the rage for flirtation is here so outrageous, That what with the climate, the sun and temp- tation, It keeps a young man in continued vexation, For their smiles are so witching, so kind, so in- viting, Combined with the climate so warm and exciting, Neither hermit, or stoic, could ever resist; Such smiles on the lips, that half ask to be kissed, Even Joseph himself Mrs. Pottiphas's flame, Though he fled all disrobed from the lovestriken dame, Would have felt rather queer, if in our Australa- sia, He'd accepted the office of King Pharaoh's cashier But now to return! I'm becoming infected, And expect to grow quite wo-begone and dejected; As I feel I'm beginning to suffer loves' pains; (Had the panes been but darken'd, I had ne'er worn its chains). If I go home to dinner, and after I've dined, Just opened the window to let in the wind, And smoke my cigar in my nice easy chair, Or walk the piazza inhaling the air; And list to the music which on the breeze swells, From the sweet soothing chimes of the auctioneers bells. And my wandering thoughts I begin to compose, When lo! through the opposite blinds, see that nose! So perfectly formed, so decidedly Grecian And its entrance, and exit, so truly Venetian; That it strikes one's philosophy all of a heap, And one anxiously waits for the next furtive peep. And it come, and by heaven the glance of an eye, Like the soft evening star, in a deep summer sky, Again, and again, that glance seems to dwell, 'Till a sweet distant smile, serves to deepen the spell. Well what can I do but get into pathetics, And fret my brains into distress with poetics;-- To rest were impossible, slumber but brings That smile, and a thousand collateral things, Thronging back to ones fancy--and when in the morn I jump out of bed, I begin to adorn, The first object is, just to peep out and see, If the lovely, the loved is watching for me Of course she is absent, no doubt fast asleep, But how can a man, when such thougts o'er him creep, Take a razor in hand, and with confidence shave, While with loves mono-mania, ready to rave, The thing Mr. Editor's quite out of rule, And it really does make a man, feel such a fool, That I wish you'd insert this epistle of mine, Just to hint to the girls in their beauty divine, That although such proceedings may furnish them laughter, They probably often may lead to manslaughter. OBSERVER. Bridge-street, October 8th 1840.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah: Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Clap Your Hands Say Yeah
Attention college radio listeners, music blog readers, strung-out SXSW attendees, and anyone else who's heard this Brooklyn-slash-Philly band-of-the-moment: That shrill, tedious noise ringing in your ears is not the hypersonic buzz surrounding Clap Your Hands Say Yeah, although you wouldn't be blamed for thinking so. It is in fact the voice of Alec Ounsworth, whose David Byrne pose on the group's full-length debut often gives way to an uneasy (and occasionally thrilling) style of singing that can only be described as indie-rock yodeling. Or maybe a human theremin. Okay, there are tons of ways to describe that voice--in fact, it's half the fun of listening to the album.
But beneath the noise--of Ounsworth and the hype--lie half a dozen excellent songs that stand up to the "sounds like" game and win. That's because Clap Your Hands Say Yeah is a pastiche of pop elements that have proven to warm the cockles of bleeding hearts from Seattle to Manchester: Neutral Milk Hotel-inspired acoustic guitar power chords ("Upon This Tidal Wave of Young Blood"), that high-pitched electric guitar quiver that Modest Mouse used to do ("The Skin of My Yellow Country Teeth"), good 'n' gloomy new-wave undertones (the aptly chilling "In This Home on Ice"), and plenty of disco-beat drumming ("Is This Love"). With parts like that, the sum doesn't have much work to do, thus Clap Your Hands Say Yeah steps into the role of "great album" with elegant ease. It's not earth-shattering, but rather the next inevitable step in a line that includes old indie pop and new no-wave. It also has its flaws, such as trying to be simultaneously danceable and sentimental but failing on both counts and landing somewhere in between. Still, CYHSY is even better than it looks on paper and certainly worthy of the hype, presumably because it is in fact hype and not the content-independent marketing of enormous record labels (that comes later in the word-of-blog business model). That other sound you're hearing? It's the din of cash registers chiming, ticket windows slamming shut, and legions of teenagers teaching themselves to sing like a broken clarinet.

Mad at card issuers? Don't take it out on your own credit
Think twice before closing little-used credit card accounts
By Gary Foreman
The New Frugal You
Dear New Frugal You,
I have excellent credit, but am getting quite perturbed at the situation with credit cards. I have a few cards I don't use often, or don't want to put anything on right now due to the economy. If the issuers can close an account for NOT using it, then how does it affect MY credit score? This is outrageous!!! Everyone is going after the consumer every which way -- do we have no help anywhere? -- Cathy
Dear Cathy,
Cathy, you're right. Since 2008 banks have reduced credit lines by nearly 25 percent. As the economy slowed and housing prices slumped, banks wanted to reduce their potential risk. One way to do that was to reduce the amount of credit that they were willing to extend to credit cardholders. Many of the reductions seemed pretty arbitrary. Some banks reduced available credit just because a card hadn't been used recently or because the cardholder lived in a ZIP code where home values were particularly hard hit.
Your question, then, has three parts:
- Can credit card companies reduce your credit line?
- Would that hurt your credit score?
- And, finally, what can you do to protect your score?
The simple answer to Part 1 is that, yes, the credit card companies can reduce your available credit pretty much any time they want and for any reason. The Credit CARD Act of 2009 does not prevent lenders from closing accounts or slashing available credit lines.
And, in a way, that's understandable. A credit line represents a lender's willingness to loan you a certain amount of money. No law should force someone to lend you money or prevent them from withdrawing a prior commitment to lend money.
Moving to Part 2, what happens to your credit score if a bank does slash your credit line or close an account that you're not using?
Something called credit utilization makes up 30 percent of your credit score. That's the percentage of the available credit that you've already used.
If you owe $1,000 on a credit line of $5,000, only 20 percent of your available credit is used. But, if your limit is dropped to $1,500, then suddenly you've already used 67 percent of what's available.
A reduction in your credit limit is much more critical if the new limit is only slightly above the amount you owe on the card. You want to keep the amount used to less than 30 percent.
The length of credit history accounts for another 15 percent of your score. So there is a difference between closing newer and older accounts. Closing a fairly new account could actually improve your score. On the other hand, closing a long-standing account would not be helpful.
As for Part 3 -- what you can do to protect your credit score -- the most important step is to pay down any balances. That way even a drastic cut in your available credit will leave your credit utilization ratio low.
Next, if your credit line is reduced, call the credit card company and ask for reinstatement of your old credit limit. You have no assurance that your issuer will comply, but a phone call is an inexpensive investment.
Also, work to keep your older accounts active. Use your card for a purchase you would be making anyway (for instance, groceries) and pay the entire bill when it comes due.
In the past 10 years your credit score has become important to your financial well-being. You're wise to monitor it closely and take steps to protect it.

The Iran Deal Is Good–for the Mullahs
Apr 10, 2015
"Barack Obama wanted to avoid being the U.S. president who presides over Iran getting the bomb. Iran wanted sanctions relief and validation of its nuclear program. Both sides made concessions, and a crisis appears to have been averted, at least in the short term. But what we know now suggests that the mullahs got the better end of the deal" writes Aaron David Miller.
A Transaction Does Not a Deal Make
Apr 07, 2015
"For the moment, historic though it may be, the Iran enterprise is a transaction — in short a business deal devoid of much sentimentality in which both sides need stuff from the other and are still not sure they can get it, and it's an imperfect and incomplete transaction at that," writes Aaron David Miller.

Jan 22, 2015
On the heels of a landmark U.S.-China climate agreement, 2015 will be a critical year for China's environmental and energy policy. A revised and much stricter Environmental Protection Law went into force on January 1; new amendments to the Air Pollution Law are likely to be put in place; and the National Development and Reform Commission will draft a new five-year plan. A monumental shift from coal to natural gas is achievable and necessary.

Measuring Personal Growth Attributed to a Semester of College Life Using the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory
Anderson, Walter P., Jr., Lopez-Baez, Sandra I., Counseling and Values
In this descriptive exploratory study, the Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI; Tedeschi & Calhoun, 1996) was used to measure levels of personal growth attributed by college students (N = 117) to a semester of university life in retrospective self-reports. Results reflect attributions of substantial total growth in the range reported in the posttraumatic studies and attributions of substantial growth to a variety of specific experiences. The results suggest that personal growth as defined by the PTGI is not necessarily adversarial and that personal growth can be intentionally facilitated by educational activities.
Previous empirical studies (e.g., 39 in review of Linley & Joseph, 2004) of retrospective self-reports of personal growth (selected positive psychological changes enumerated by instrument items) have focused exclusively on adversarial growth (growth attributed to adverse life circumstances as defined by Linley & Joseph, 2004). Researchers have used five different instruments based on similar definitions of personal growth (Joseph, Linley, & Harris, 2005). Results document attributions of substantial levels of adversarial growth to a variety of adverse experiences. The most widely used instrument in adversarial studies has been Tedeschi and Calhoun's (1996) Posttraumatic Growth Inventory (PTGI).
Although most existing studies of personal growth as defined by the PTGI have focused exclusively on measuring levels of adversarial growth, there is little reason to assume that all personal growth is adversarial. For example, developmental theorists have described positive changes such as those embodied in the PTGI as outcomes of developmental processes involving complex combinations of life experiences (e.g., Erikson, 1968; Fowler, 1981; Levinson, 1978; Loevinger, 1976; Rogers, 1961) and developed theory-based measures of corresponding constructs and variables. In particular, Chickering (1969) described a theory of student identity development with tasks reminiscent of the PTGI items. Chickering (1969), Perry (1970), and Chickering and Reisser (1993) identified the college undergraduate period as a time of substantial personal growth in response to a wide variety of extracurricular, environmental, and academic experiences. Thus, the idea that personal growth as defined by the PTGI takes place during normal development is intuitively appealing. However, there is little empirical evidence to support the idea because few researchers have used instruments such as the PTGI to measure personal growth that is not strictly adversarial in origin.
Anderson and Lopez-Baez (2008) described one of the few such studies to date. They used the PTGI to measure college students' attributions of levels of total personal growth, whether adversarial or otherwise, to a single semester of college life in retrospective self-reports. The current article documents a descriptive follow-up study of a similar sample with the goal of exploring student attributions of personal growth in more detail. The design of the current study required measuring attributions of total growth using the method described in Anderson and Lopez-Baez's study and also measuring attributions of the relative contributions to total growth (i.e., percentage contributions) of specific experiences of interest, including an academic course designed to facilitate growth. It is hoped that the results will contribute to a better understanding of personal growth in general and provide support for using the PTGI in related future studies.
Measuring Total Personal Growth
We selected the PTGI as our measure of total personal growth because the instrument has acceptable psychometric properties (Joseph et al., 2005); produces results that can be compared with those of a large body of published posttraumatic studies; and is a general outcome measure of personal growth, whether adversarial or otherwise. …

|http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/ A service of the U.S. National Library of Medicine®
The official name of this gene is "pantothenate kinase 2."
PANK2 is the gene's official symbol. The PANK2 gene is also known by other names, listed below.
The PANK2 gene provides instructions for making an enzyme called pantothenate kinase 2. This enzyme is active in specialized cellular structures called mitochondria, which are the cell's energy-producing centers. Within mitochondria, pantothenate kinase 2 regulates the formation of a molecule called coenzyme A. Coenzyme A is found in all living cells, where it is essential for the body's production of energy from carbohydrates, fats, and some protein building blocks (amino acids).
PANK2 is one of four human genes that provide instructions for making versions of pantothenate kinase. The functions of these different versions probably vary among tissue types and parts of the cell. The version produced by the PANK2 gene is active in cells throughout the body, including nerve cells in the brain.
About 100 mutations in the PANK2 gene have been identified in people with pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration. Typically, people with the more severe, early-onset form of the disorder have PANK2 mutations that prevent cells from producing any functional pantothenate kinase 2. People affected by the atypical, later-onset form usually have mutations that change single amino acids in the enzyme, which makes the enzyme unstable or disrupts its activity. In some cases, single amino acid changes allow the enzyme to retain some function. The most common PANK2 mutation replaces the amino acid glycine with the amino acid arginine at position 411 of the enzyme (written as Gly411Arg or G411R).
When pantothenate kinase 2 is altered or missing, the normal production of coenzyme A is disrupted and potentially harmful compounds can build up in the brain. This buildup leads to swelling, tissue damage, and an abnormal accumulation of iron in certain areas of the brain. Researchers are uncertain how a lack of functional pantothenate kinase 2 causes the specific features of pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration. Because the enzyme functions in mitochondria, the signs and symptoms of this condition may be related to impaired energy production.
Mutations in the PANK2 gene are also found in people with a condition called HARP (hypoprebetalipoproteinemia, acanthocytosis, retinitis pigmentosa, and pallidal degeneration). HARP was historically described as a separate syndrome but is now considered part of pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration. Although HARP is much rarer than classic pantothenate kinase-associated neurodegeneration, both conditions involve problems with movement, dementia, and vision abnormalities.
Cytogenetic Location: 20p13
Molecular Location on chromosome 20: base pairs 3,888,839 to 3,923,891
The PANK2 gene is located on the short (p) arm of chromosome 20 at position 13.
More precisely, the PANK2 gene is located from base pair 3,888,839 to base pair 3,923,891 on chromosome 20.
See How do geneticists indicate the location of a gene? (http://ghr.nlm.nih.gov/handbook/howgeneswork/genelocation) in the Handbook.

Recently, I was talking to a college professor who was complaining about the multitude of ways in which Linux works on various distributions. He was complaining that one distribution of Linux put a particular file in one place, and another distribution put a file in another place. He said it was hard for him to remember where each distribution put each file.
If this were a "normal user," I would have simply advised staying with one particular distribution instead of going from distro to distro, but in the professor's case, he could not enjoy that luxury because his students were allowed to use different distributions. This type of inconsistency also affects systems administrators, and even regular users as they encounter different distributions of GNU/ Linux in various places.

What changed? A slick but slight saga about nitro-charged street racers and the gearhead groupies who love them has gotten progressively bigger, louder, and more lavish each time out of the garage.
Cops and criminals alike now flit around the world on private jets. And the ever-expanding crew around Dom (Vin Diesel) and Brian (Paul Walker) battles foes worthy of James Bond.

What does your other half think about you playing/devoting time to badminton??
Hi all,
I just want to find out from those of you out there with a partner/wife/girlfriend (or the other way round if you are female), how do they feel about you playing badminton? Especially if badminton is a big part of your life and you spend a lot of time away due to your passion/commitment.
Has it caused arguments?
How do you maintain a work/life/play balance?
Do they share your passion and play it too?
The reason I ask is me and my wife actually met through playing badminton. Six years ago she came to a badminton club I used to play in with a mutual friend of mine. I obviously impressed her with my skills and she opted to go out with me. We got married last year.
I've always had a passion for the sport and played it during my teens and up until University. I then had to take a break to concentrate on my studies. After a 7 year lay off I decided to go back to the sport and have got more and more involved ever since. I love the sport and wanted to give something back to the community so that the next generation can enjoy the sport as I have.
In the last 7 years:
- I've become a member of the County Badminton Association.
- I play league badminton regularly.
- Became a member of the Coaches Assocation.
- Became a Level 2 Badminton coach.
- Setup up two junior badminton clubs affiliated with our senior club which I run.
- Hold adult coaching sessions in the city.
- Work in partnership with the local Council and Badminton England to promote the sport and get more people (especially ladies) playing the sport.
As you can appreciate, being newly married, this at times can cause lets say discussions between me and my wife. She loves playing but that is as far as it goes with her. She understands my passion and commitment but it is often difficult for me to balance everything.
Actually recently she has asked me to coach her, since she sees how well I do with the adults and juniors I coach. Probably also because it will be free for her I am happy that it is something we have in common and we play together at the same club.
It would be great to hear others peoples stories.
Kindest regards,
Quote of the Day
So much of what we call management consists in making it difficult for people to work.

Sure - the herd is often wrong. The problem is, you don't know WHEN the herd-driven bubble is going to burst. It might be tomorrow, or it might be ten years from now.
Also - nice distinction between an advisor and a broker. Too bad practically no one with a net worth under three or four million dollars has access to a GENUINE advisor.
"I often use brokers as a gauge of what not to invest their money in." -- what a ridiculous and ignorant statement. Do you truly believe that? And you believe brokers were behind the folks pushing them into more real estate? Using their home as an ATM for cars, pools, vacations and boats? An even more ignorant comment. But I'm sure you feel better about yourself as you got to talk down to folks you just plain stereotyped -- brokers. As a proud broker who is also a CFP(r) and has never made a single statement of advice that was not for the benefit of a client and would be proud to paste all my provided advice on the front of the paper, I find you offensive and ignorant and attempting to place yourself above the rest. As to the person with the prior comment about 3-4mm...what planet are you from too? Folks...there are very good brokers out there with just one agenda...your well-being...enough of the stereotyping...it's juvenile and a conflict of interest to any valid content you were trying to provide. Concerned about the advice you're getting? Ask better questions! Seek second and third opinions to that advice!
