In criminal law procedures, mental health professionals have several entrees as expert witnesses. Most often, they participate in hearings that consider the accused's mental state at the time of the criminal offense, as part of the well-known insanity plea. Criminal experts address several other important mental health issues such as the fitness to stand trial, dangerousness, and malingering. This chapter focuses primarily on the insanity defense and other general issues arising in criminal court. Subsequent chapters provide more attention to mental competency and dangerousness (chapter 10) and faking and malingering (chapter 11).
"How can you be certain that the defendant was insane at the time of the offense 3 months ago?"
|In your practice, do you have a special interest in forensic psychiatry (psychology)?
|Have you done any research or teaching in the field of criminal psychiatry (psychology)?

We're of the opinion that headlines and sound bites never tell the whole story. Our readers demand all the facts, facets and flavors of every story or event. And, they expect to be informed, educated and stirred to action.

With two epic sci-fi sagas -- "Cloud Atlas" and "Upside Down" -- in recent memory, along with a straight-to-video Brit crime flick ("Ashes"), a movie with Giuseppe Tornatore ("The Best Offer" -- our review) and a Somali pirate movie in the works, Jim Sturgess has been a bit all over the place of late, and that's not about to change.
Sturgess has come on board "Eliza Graves" alongside Kate Beckinsale, in the latest effort from Brad Anderson, whose fading goodwill from "The Machinist" was pretty much dashed with last month's "The Call." Anyway. Penned by Joe Gangemi (the forgotten 2007 Emily Blunt thriller "Wind Chill"), the plot is loosely based on an 1845 short story by Edgar Allan Poe, following the titular character (Beckinsale) who happens to be a mental patient in a hospital where the residents have overthrown the staff and are posing as doctors. Sturgess will play a Harved med school grad who becomes obsessed with Eliza.
This all sounds pretty dull, but maybe there will be some nice surprises along the way? Filming kicks off in June. [THR]

text: Is it possible to run SQL server on Windows SBS 2008 platform. I am talking about the edition where I am using a virtual server. SBS is different while SQL is different that offer a different set of solution. It can be costly to go with SQL with SBS and somehow I am looking for better practice here. I was just checking the specification where I found that SBS 2008 STD supports 32GB RAM. So that is good for performance but even for large network this is not at all enough.

By Todd Franko (Contact)
Published April 3, 2009Dear Oprah:
Sorry, Mr. Franko, but the newspapers are killing themselves.
Newspapers live and die on the basis of honesty and trust. And have been failing in that regard.
Report the news honestly and completely without fear or favor? Does anyone really believe that to be true any longer? I don't.
Let's talk in general first. I have had the privilege of doing business in many parts of these United States. In many cases, one must look at the masthead to find the difference between, say, the New York Times and the Boston Globe. Little difference between them in most content -- little more than propaganda and talking points from the most socialist/left wing elements of the Democrat Party. Much of the content is nothing more than copy-and-paste from the Associated Press. Part of that is due to some lousy chains - McClatchy and Gannett come to mind.
Why should anyone pay for the privilege of being lied to? When the business model assumes the denigration and mockery of values many, perhaps most Americans hold dear, do you expect success? We had an example right here, not long ago, when the Pope was castigated as a dismal failure for speaking the plain objective truth about condoms as a means of dealing with AIDS in Africa. He was right, and the Vindy was wrong. Again. MANY more examples might be found. People will not pay to be insulted.
Now some specifics.
I have read the Vindicator for more than 50 years now, my parents had it delivered every day. I've seen the paper estimate what politician was likely to win the election and then come out in support of that one, though the editors HAD to know the person was a scoundrel. I've watched as some of the most disgusting corruption and racketeering to be found, per capita, ANYWHERE in the nation went unreported or glossed over. (until the feds came in and hauled the miscreants off). Everything from zoning changes for sale to the unlicensed bars and gambling joints in Campbell, Struthers, Niles, and the city, to local judges with their own bagmen. You knew it, or should have, and so did a good bit of the citizenry, but it never quite made the pages.
This sort of thing is and has been going on all over. People are waking up to it. And realizing that, no matter the high-sounding words, the newspapers and other local media have been cheating us and lying by omission at least. People will not pay for that. And aren't.
Unfortunately, Mr. Martin above would not be happy with any newspaper unless it was written with a republican bias. Newspapers are one of the few remaining bastions of truth and investigative reporting available. Do they get things wrong on occassion, sure, do they find things that most media miss, definitely!
I will agree with one point of the above Mr. Martin, due to budget concerns, most newspapers, and the Vindy is very much in this category, are becoming more "clip" papers without a lot of original reporting. What original reporting and investigative reporting is done well, but when you go to the business section and find 1-2 local stories at best mon-sat, it's like what's the point? We really don't care how the rest of the business world is doing, we hear that all the time on the tv news, but I would like to know whats what exactly on the local business front.
Overall Vindy does well within it's confines, but I think for a local paper to really succeed and thrive in todays tough climate, become a LOCAL paper, and really concentrate on that news. It would be a surprising change that just may surprise your revenue resources as well. Just a thought
Oh, please!
I think I put my time in just enduring old Esther Hamilton columns and other Vindicator ''contributions'' to the cultural refinements of the area. If that wasn't punishment, I don't know what was. Even the Salem News and the Warren Tribune didn't have anyone that bad.
And the point is not to have a ''Republican bias'', or any other one. It is to be complete, and accurate, and to be objective. And that means both in how things are presented and also what things are presented, what things are omitted, and the attention paid to them. Some of the major papers, and some truly ghastly chains (McClatchy and the Gannett line fit, so do others) have a line that is right out of the worst elements of the Democrat Party, and there's no hiding it.
Look, you have to engage in grotesque willful blindness not to know that the Vindy has for decades ignored chronic corruption and racketeering, ignored the obvious ties between the Party, the Mob(s), the Unions, and certain ''connected'' local businessmen. Most of us know of them, but the Vindy has long overlooked what the most casual observer can see.
Sorry if that offends someone's tender sensibilities.
While Todd and I missed out on the era you describe, in my short tenure here, I have learned that there is a high tolerance - pride even - for Valley political hijinks of the past. Some people have accused this newspaper of hounding Jim Traficant from office, yet many proudly boast that they would vote for him again if he ran for office today. I just don't see your disenchantment over the past playing a huge role in decisions made by today's readership. But your insight is appreciated. And if you have a list to share of those currently on the take, feel free to send it my way...
Mark Sweetwood
Managing Editor
Well said Mr. Sweetwood, I was just at a lunch meeting today where the virtues of Mr. Traficant were being sung. I am still bleeding a bit from biting my tongue so hard. I agree that there should be no bias in feature reporting, but an editorial is just that, a persons opinion on a subject.
Again, I agree with the fact that the local papers do contribute to jobs in the community as well, but so do the local cable companies doing installations, etc. I will continue reading my Vindicator daily, but I say to you again, let's get it local folks.
All newspapers and newscasts should be prefaced by saying;
"The views and opinions expressed are those of the reporter and not necessarily the actions or facts as they took place"
Newsmedia in general have long since had a left-leaning bias. Not until radio and internet became more prominant did people start getting an alternative viewpoint. National News as far back as the Walter Cronkite days and beyond was always more about what we WANT you to think rather than here's the FACTS - you garner your own opinion.
I would tend to believe the worst culprit in print media is the AP who have no one to counter or fact check articles, yet they maintain a monopoly on all national and worldwide news.
that being said----- Oprah doesn't own any newspapers so she doesn't care about the outcome of them.
Let's not get sidetracked here. Mr. Franko's original comment had to do with the newspaper business in general. There are both general and specific problems. The specific ones, meaning those of the locale, are one thing. We know about some of those. I don't regard tolerance for contract killers and extortionists as ''hijinks''. Your mileage may vary.
(By the way, such tolerance has more than a bit to do with the reluctance of industry to locate here. Would YOU invest millions here?)
With regards to the newspapers in general, it is beyond dispute that many - Washington Post, NY Times, Boston Globe, LA Times, Minneapolis Star-Tribune, SF Chronicle, St. Petersburg Times, the McClatchy chain, to name a few -- need I go on? are little more than outlets for the worst, most anti-American elements of the far-left fringe of the Democrat Party. There's no hiding it and they really don't try. Add in the noxious leavening of the Associated Presstitutes, and you have a smelly mixture. It is insane to expect citizens to continue to pay for that. Particularly now that there are other news sources that circumvent the local paper and reveal the propaganda for what it is. People are voting with their wallets.
Save the papers? Fine. IMPROVE THE PRODUCT!
Who is more responsible for exposing corruption, a reporter or a member of law enforcement? Who has the ability to seek a subpoena or a search warrant, a reporter or a member of law enforcement? Which is less likely to get sued if he makes a mistake? So, tnm, why lay the onus on the newspaper? Who did you expose during your law enforcement career? You were even invited above by Mr. Sweetwood to name some names that you claim "most of us know." Did you? It seems that all you do is whine about how bad everyone else is at performing up to your high expectations. You've been invited to step up to the plate: swing away.
Said it well, Mr. Franko.
"You let financial guru Suze Orman come on your show and tell your audience to cancel their newspaper subscriptions to save money."
We still get The Vindy at our house! :)
Suze who? I like to watch Mad Money! Jim Cramer ROCKS!

My teacher takes a bizarre 'traditional' approach to exams, citing that having the questions or not is irrelevant as we should be able to do fine. Obviously not of great help to us, does anyone know where I can get hold of them? They aren't published on the website, nor does the unit come up in the Jan 2012 Examiner's Report which is where I got the other unit from. Any help would be much appreciated!
Many thanks.

Canadian busted at airport with cocaine in achar, milk
A Canadian man was yesterday morning busted with cocaine in his suitcase as he was preparing to board a flight at the Cheddi Jagan International Airport, Timehri.
Head of the Customs Anti-Narcotics Unit (CANU) James Singh confirmed that a quantity of cocaine was found concealed in achar and powdered milk.
Stabroek News was unable to ascertain how much cocaine was found.
An official at the airport said that the 54-year-old Canadian citizen was booked to leave on an early morning Caribbean Airlines fight. He checked in two pieces of luggage and a subsequent search of them by CANU officials unearthed the drugs.
The man remains in custody pending a charge of cocaine trafficking.
Within recent months there have been a number of cocaine busts at the airport. Several of the persons were found with the cocaine concealed in milk powder tins.

"A number of people look at yoga as preventive medicine," says yoga instructor and massage therapist Lance Lorenzo. "And a lot of people come to yoga to relieve old injuries." Both groups often also find that it relieves stress and increases energy; many students talk of improved eating habits and sleep patterns.
"People evolve in all different directions," says Lorenzo, who has taught yoga at the Mesa YMCA for two years. "If a person can get through the first couple months, it's amazing to see how it carries over into their life."
And he speaks not solely of the physical sense, but also the spiritual sense. Though some facilities teach ashtanga yoga on strictly a physical plane, Lorenzo reminds students that the discipline is based in spiritual concepts.
Lorenzo starts every power yoga class with "Sun Salutation," a series of gently flowing movements synchronized with breathing. The movements are of special benefit to beginners and people experiencing stiffness because they can be performed within individual comfort zones and promote flexibility.
Movements included in the Sun Salutation will be demonstrated each Thursday in June as part of the Exercises of the Week series. To perform the poses, Lorenzo recommends people wear something pliable but not too loose, because inverted poses can cause clothing to fall over the face. Yoga is best performed barefoot on a mat, which prevents slipping and protects joints.

Not seen any mention of it on 50+ so I presume it is not a holiday you celebrate much in America. Today is "Good Friday" and is a Public holiday and traditional breakfast coming up of Hot Cross Buns. When I was younger these were only available at Easter but they are so good that they are now available all year round. But like most trditions- if it is a good one we get greedy and want it all the time.
Easter is also the traditional time for getting out in the garden and mowing the lawn or starting the projects you have been thinking of over the winter. I have my garden sorted but one neighbour is digging out for a new patio- one is clearing his front garden for a weed free life in future and one had just bought a cottage in France and is over there "Renovating" it.
I have been lumbered as My daughter has decided to wreck the garden that has taken 3 years to get right and build a Patio that is going to be 40 ft X 30ft with a sunken bit in the middle so a lot of digging to be done. I will go round shortly and tell them they are doing it all wrong and get thrown out or buried under the spoil heap. Either way doesn't matter today is Ride day for me. Haven't had Pie on the seafront for ages.
So Happy Easter to you all and hope you get riding.

1.) With Texas Chainsaw 3D sitting atop the domestic box-office charts this week, it's only natural for sequel talk to begin. And according to Bloody Disgusting, the producers have the rights to make six more films in the franchise. These slashers are relatively low-risk, so you have to figure Lionsgate will keep churning them out.
2.) I haven't done one of these Star Wars stories in a while, but honestly, news is pretty slow today so I don't have much of a choice to pass this one along. Early fan favorite for the Episode VII director's chair Guillermo del Toro says he was approached about the gig, but had do decline due to his busy schedule. He did offer his take on who he'd like to see at the helm: "I think the fans deserve somebody that is just going to immerse themselves completely. As a geek, I would have loved to see Brad Bird take it." Unfortunately, we already know that isn't going to happen as Bird is instead focusing on his own original sci-fi project 1952, which has George Clooney in the lead. [The Playlist]
3.) While director Ryan Murphy (Eat Pray Love) originally intended for his film The Normal Heart to be a theatrical release, HBO announced they'll premiere the film in 2014. The film stars Julia Roberts and Mark Ruffalo and tells the story of the onset of the HIV-AIDS crisis in New York City in the early 1980s. Roberts will play a paraplegic physician who treated some of the earliest victims of the disease, while Ruffalo's character begins to seek answers and spread word of the disease after it claims the lives of several members of his gay community. Alec Baldwin, Jim Parsons ("The Big Bang Theory") and Matt Bomer (Magic Mike) round out the cast, with the latter playing the boyfriend of Ruffalo's character. [THR]
4.) Speaking of HBO, Steven Soderbergh has spoken out about how his Liberace biopic Behind the Candelabra wound up on the network. "Nobody would make it. We went to everybody in town," he told The Wrap. "We needed $5 million. Nobody would do it."
Yes, this is the same Liberace movie you're probably thinking of with Michael Douglas as the legendary pianist and Matt Damon as his lover. $5 million. A reputable filmmaker like Soderbergh couldn't get $5 million to finance a movie with those A-listers. Why, you ask? "They said it was too gay," he explained. It's hard to believe studios still think that way after the success of films like Brokeback Mountain and Milk, but Soderbergh says he's happy about where the film ended up. "Ultimately I think more people will see it, and that's all you care about." Behind the Candelabra is expected to debut this spring.
5.) Rick Smith of the electronic music group Underworld will score Danny Boyle's thriller Trance. Boyle has previously used Underworld's songs in his movies Trainspotting, The Beach and Sunshine, while the group also served as musical directors of the Boyle-directed London 2012 Olympic Opening Ceremony. This is Smith's first full film as a solo composer, although he previously scored the 2006 feature Breaking and Entering with Underworld. There's no word on why he's working without long-time creative partner Karl Hyde on this project. [Film Music Reporter]

Numb lips....should I be concerned???
I know that numbness and tingling is a part of MS.
I have been having both problems in my hands and feet for over a month now. But today something new started.
A few hours ago I was sitting at the computer and my back started hurting really bad and my lips started to go numb. I went and laid down, woke my husband from his nap because I was having a little trouble catching my breathing and the tingling starting spreading up my arms and legs.
After I laid down for a while everything got better except my lips. I cooked dinner and got back on the computer and now my lips are really tingling again.
I just went to see neuro yesterday and they said report anything new. Would this be considered new since I already been having the tingling and numbness in other parts of my body?
Just as a F.Y.I. it feels like I am about to have an allergic reaction and my lips are swelling, I keep checking them and they look fine just feel really weird."Therefore we do not give up, but even if the man we are outside is wasting away, certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day." 2 Cor. 4:16

My lips go numb periodically as does my nose. Talk about feeling weird! Anyway, it's not abnormal but if it's a new symptom for you, you should call your doc.

I have tingling on the left half of my tongue/mouth/lips...it's pretty much an all the time symptom for me. It's what got my attention 15 years ago and made me seek out a dr (not that they attributed it to MS...not until I was diagnosed because of other problems did the neuro say that the tingling face was part of the package.)
They're have been threads on tongue tingling or mouth tingling, and for most people it seems to be a come and go type of symptom. You might want to do a search to pull up those threads.
Anyhoo, if it's MS, and a new symptom it should be reported. The thing I'd be careful with is to make sure you're not having an allergic reaction. Sometimes an allergy can manifest itself w/tingling lips and shortness of breath.
Hope you get some resolution and if it is part of the MS it fades quickly.

numb tongue
My tongue gets numb off and on--I did a search on here the first time it happened and found it under "burning tongue" syndrome, mainly because your tongue feels like it does when you burn it with a hot drink. I did call my neuro the first time, and they said there was not a lot to do--that they don't treat for sensory issues--for what that's worth. Just part of the fun!
they are getting better.
Thanks for the information. My top lip is still a little tingly but my bottom one is fine now. I hope by the morning my mouth will be back to normal. I just wish my hands and feet would resolve as quickly. Yeah that would be to easy, right."Therefore we do not give up, but even if the man we are outside is wasting away, certainly the man we are inside is being renewed from day to day." 2 Cor. 4:16

My lips don't go numb, but whenever I go out, it is like going out with a little kid for those with me. I cannot feel if something drips on my chin or around my mouth, so they have to tell me like I am a kid ....It is kind of funny. Last time we were out, sil did not want to tell me, he did not know I appreciate it, so he told dd who told me. We all had a good laugh.
Boy can I relate
I have gotten into a habit of using a napkin to clean off my mouth so many times during a meal you would think it was an obsession LOL
One day recently I had a huge piece of lettuce on it while out to lunch with my daughter, in a place I didn't use the napkin on, she had to tell me it was there. LOL Had to look funny to the other people in the restaurant. I have gotten so used to it, it doesn't bother me anymore, I just go with the flow.

Japan Tobacco Forecasts 17% Profit Drop Amid Restructuring
Japan Tobacco Inc., Asia's biggest listed cigarette maker, said profit will probably fall 17 percent this year because of restructuring costs for its domestic business and a drop in profit from selling real estate.
The company projects net income will decline to 370 billion yen ($3.6 billion) in the 12 months ending December from 443.6 billion yen a year earlier, it said in a statement to Tokyo's stock exchange yesterday. Sales may rise 2.4 percent to 2.43 trillion yen, according to the forecast.
Japan Tobacco is cutting jobs and closing factories as the Tokyo-based company restructures its domestic business amid a declining number of smokers and a shrinking population. Tobacco sales at home may drop 3.5 percent by volume this year from 2013, in part due to higher prices and an increase in the sales tax, the company said in its statement.
The company is setting aside 54 billion yen for domestic restructuring costs this year and expects a 47 billion-yen decline in profit from selling real estate, President Mitsuomi Koizumi said in Tokyo yesterday.
Japan Tobacco fell 0.4 percent to 3,312 yen as of 9:01 a.m. in Tokyo trading. The shares have dropped 3.1 percent this year, compared with an 11 percent decline in Japan's benchmark Topix index.
The tobacco maker said in October it would cut 1,600 jobs and close four factories in Japan to boost domestic competitiveness and profitability. The company raised domestic prices for most cigarette brands by 10 yen or 20 yen a pack starting this month, as the national sales-tax levy rose to 8 percent from 5 percent effective April 1.
Fewer Smokers
The rate of smokers in Japan fell to 20.9 percent of the population in 2013 from 24.9 percent in 2009, according to Japan Tobacco's website, as cigarette taxes increased and consumers grew more health-conscious. Japan's declining population is eroding the company's domestic market as well.
Depreciating currencies in emerging markets are putting pressure on profit from the company's overseas tobacco business, which accounts for about half of Japan Tobacco's sales. Russia's ruble fell about 12 percent against the dollar in the year ended March amid increasing tension between the country, which is Japan Tobacco's biggest overseas market, and Ukraine over the situation in Crimea.
Sales volume for Japan's overseas tobacco business fell 4.6 percent in 2013 while it rose 3.3 percent domestically in the last fiscal year, according to the company's statement yesterday.
Nomura Holdings Inc. lowered its operating profit forecast for the tobacco maker 2.5 percent to 546 billion yen for the nine months ending December due to weakening emerging-market currencies, it said in a research note dated April 14.

When the government runs on a deficit, often the loss can be offset by a raise in taxes. If you have a deficit of iron in your body, you should consider eating more spinach. The word deficit comes from the Latin deficit meaning "it is wanting." A deficit is characterized by the wanting of something missing.
Definitions of deficit

It has been 17 years since the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) was signed into law.
The ADA is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with physical handicaps. It encompasses hiring practices as well as the design of buildings intended to serve the public.
If your practice is open to the public or operates an office, clinic, or other facility where employees work, it is legally obligated to make the premises accessible to disabled individuals.
With the Department of Justice cracking down on compliance, now might be a good time to explore how those incentives can help your practice profit.
One of the tax savings available to qualified small-business owners is the disabled-access tax credit. A qualified small business is an operation that had gross receipts of $1 million or less, or one that did not employ more than 30 full-time employees in the preceding tax year.
The disabled-access tax credit amount is 50 percent of the amount of eligible access expenditures that exceed $250 for a year, but do not exceed $10,250. The maximum credit — the amount by which the annual tax bill will be reduced — is $5,000.
What kinds of expenses qualify for this credit? The expenses must be incurred to meet requirements established as part of the ADA. You can claim the credit for the following costs:
• Removing architectural, communication, physical, or transportation barriers that prevent the business from being accessible to, or usable by, disabled individuals;
• Providing qualified interpreters or other effective methods of making orally delivered materials available to hearing-impaired individuals;
• Providing qualified readers, taped texts, and other effective methods of making visually delivered materials available to visually impaired individuals;
• Acquiring or modifying equipment or devices for disabled individuals; or
• Providing other similar services, modifications, materials, or equipment.
The cost of being ADA-compliant frequently exceeds the amounts qualifying for the limited disabled-access tax credit. But help is available through an expense deduction — an immediate write-off — for the cost of newly acquired equipment and property. This property is called Section 179 property.
In general, lawmakers — and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) — describe property qualifying for this immediate deduction as depreciable, tangible personal property purchased for use in the active conduct of a trade or business.
Property can be new or used, provided it is put into operation in your business. Air conditioning and heating units are specifically excluded as Section 179 property.
Almost every tax law change in recent years has tweaked small-business expensing under the Tax Code's Section 179. The 2007 Small Business Tax Act was no exception, increasing the dollar amount and investment limitation.
Under the new law, the base $100,000 limit ($112,000 as indexed for inflation) increased to $125,000 for tax years beginning in 2007 and extending through 2010. The maximum deduction is phased out by the amount by which all qualifying property placed in service during the tax year exceeds the investment limitations.
The investment limitation for property placed in service in tax years beginning in 2007 was $400,000, as indexed for inflation. The new law retroactively raises the investment limitation to $500,000 for tax years beginning in 2007 through 2010. What's more, the $500,000 amount is also indexed for inflation in tax years beginning after 2007 and before 2011.
Naturally, you cannot write off expenditures claimed for the disabled-access tax credit. However, the balance can usually be depreciated throughout a number of years. Or, those amounts may be claimed as an immediate deduction or write-off under Section 179.
Today, thanks to the new tax law changes, no longer does your practice — or you, as principal — face the uncertainty of a tax deduction that might or might not be around tomorrow, let alone at what level future write-offs will be.
Remember, however, that although you can spread out equipment purchases over the next few years because it is no longer necessary to put all purchases into 2007, the deduction is completely phased-out under the new levels for qualifying purchases above $625,000.
Plus, you have to decide whether this first-year expensing election for newly acquired equipment will benefit your practice now or in a later, more profitable, tax year when the depreciation deductions will be worth more.
For larger expenditures, such as those involving remodeling that may not qualify for the disabled-access tax credit or the Section 179 first-year expensing deduction, there is always the depreciation allowance.
With the Department of Justice reportedly cracking down on ADA compliance, now might be a good time for an ADA survey. Paying for the necessary improvements, additional equipment, or even the survey itself creates tax deductions. The cost of the survey is, in most cases, a legitimate business expense.
Remember: Section 179 deductions are not automatic. If you want to take the deduction, you must elect to do so, usually on the depreciation form, Form 4562, that is attached to your practice's original return (including late-filed returns).
Recovering the cost of becoming ADA-compliant is far easier on the pocketbook than losing a lawsuit because of noncompliance.

Ludwig Wittgenstein: A Memoir
Clarendon Press, 2001 - 136 Seiten
Ludwig Wittgenstein, who died in Cambridge in 1951, is one of the most powerful influences on contemporary philosophy, yet he shunned publicity and was essentially a private man. His friend Norman Malcolm (himself an eminent philosopher) wrote this remarkably vivid personal memoir of Wittgenstein, which was published in 1958 and was immediately recognized as a moving and truthful portrait of this gifted, difficult man. This edition includes also the complete text of the fifty-seven letters which Wittgenstein wrote to Malcolm over a period of eleven years. Apart from the quotations in the Memoir these letters are previously unpublished. They reveal how much friendships mattered to Wittgenstein, and how concerned he was for the health and well-being of his friends. His human qualities become evident; he advises, warns, jokes. and is grateful and affectionate. The volume also features a concise biographical sketch by another leading philosopher who was a friend of Wittgenstein, Georg Henrik von Wright. Much has been published about Wittgenstein since his death, but nothing brings us closer to the man himself than this modest classic of philosophical biography.

FBC's Children's Ministry is focusing on Growing. We are growing in our Bible knowledge during Sunday School, we are growing in our music skill and understanding of missions during Music and Missions, and on Wednesday evenings, we are building connections with God, one another, and adult leaders in Connections!
Growing in our Bible Knowledge during Sunday School
Children's Sunday School at FBC Waco is broken down by age group. During Sunday School, our children focus on Scripture as they learn the stories God tells us through the Bible.
Growing through Music and Missions
We kick off Sunday evenings with Children's Choirs where children sing, play instruments, and lead in worship. Following Music, there is a snack dinner and free play on the playground before heading to Mission Friends, Girls on Mission, and Boys on Mission.
Building Connections
On Wedesday nights, following the Church-wide fellowship meal, our children gather in the Children's Worship room for a time of energetic and kid-focused worship and the teaching of the Bible story or lesson. Afterwards, our children break into groups according to age, where they look into application of the bible lesson through games, activies, and/or crafts.

Those Indefatigable Senior Champions
Most of the young bucks who contended at last week's Masters, including Phil Mickelson and Tiger Woods, are taking the week off to rest. But not the old codgers. Both Tom Watson, 60, and Fred Couples, 50, are teeing it up again this week at the Champions Tour's Outback Steakhouse Pro-Am. So are four other over-50 Masters competitors. Mr. Couples, 77 under par through his first 12 rounds on the senior circuit, is going for his fourth Champions Tour win in a row, which would tie the record set in 1987 by Chi Chi Rodriguez.
—John Paul Newport
Tale of a Thousand Tourneys: Hale Irwin
One guy with even more reason to be tired is Hale Irwin. At 64, this week he is making his 1,000th combined career start on the PGA Tour and Champions Tour. That's 3,402 rounds total. Two-thirds were on the regular PGA Tour, where he won 20 times, including three U.S. Opens. But he has earned four times as much money ($25 million) on the Champions Tour, where he is the all-time leader in victories, with 45.
Wayne Huizenga Exits the Course
Two hundred of billionaire Wayne Huizenga's closest friends are going to be awfully disappointed. Mr. Huizenga, who made his fortune with Waste Management, Blockbuster and other companies, just sold his quirky personal golf club in Palm City, Fla., to a Houston businessman for $25 million. The Floridian Golf & Yacht Club, with its Gary Player design, was a personal fief. Each December he mailed out free, one-year memberships to pals like Jack Welch, Michael Douglas and Dan Marino. No word yet on why he sold or what the new owner's plans are.

You know the NFL is getting soft when you have a kicker open up about it, and say something. David Buehler of the Dallas Cowboys came out back in 2011 stating he felt the NFL was getting soft and he wasn't lying.
"I think they're changing the rules too much," Buehler said on the Ben and Skin Show, via ESPN.com. "Football is getting kind of soft with Goodell making all the rule changes and everything like that. Just leave it the way it is."
I honestly don't believe that the NFL is getting soft, but rather the NFL is becoming more defensive to protect themselves from major lawsuits. Over the past several years, veteran NFL players have been coming out left and right and saying that they don't have money, they are losing their minds, and CONCUSSIONS are becoming the number one cause of long term problems. I understand that concussions are serious, but these players know what they are signing up for when the put on the pads. I played football for years, and in my senior year I broke my back, causing me to lose scholarships, and spend several months in a wheelchair. Thankfully, I am able to walk again and be able to play catch with my son and daughter, but are these players just trying to get money, or do they have legitimate reasons?
I have always been a huge football fan, and while I agree the NFL is getting a little soft, I think they are just trying to show that they are trying to use safety precautions. When you look at the NFL you have to expect them to make changes when they are getting sued left and right by past players. I would not be surprised to see the NFL begin to start putting clauses in the contract soon. This will prevent the player to come back later on and sue one of the largest companies in the world.
Goodell will not always make the best decisions, his latest decision to try to cut down on head tackles or contact with the helmet has caused a huge increase in knee injuries. Why do you think that is? I truly believe that if you have guys that are scared to be fined for a clean hit to the upper body, and began tackling at the legs. When you are taught at a young age, the coaches tell you to hit, lift and carry the player into the ground. Now you have players scared to hit and lift, so they are diving at the legs of players who are playing on turf or bad grass conditions. When these players try to make a move to get away from a defender or try to get away from a defender their knees are getting locked up and causing ACL injuries.
The other day the NFL fined Jon Bostic 21,000 dollars for a hit that looked clean, because his helmet made contact with the player. I feel that was a clean hit, he was trying to bring down the ball carry, and while they say the player was defenseless, I disagree. He had the ball and if he is on the field he better be aware of his surroundings. I can understand you hitting a player on a special teams play because he is running looking one direction, but this is a player who had the ball in his hands. I think the NFL is getting a bit overboard, but are they doing because the lawsuits? I would love to hear your input, please Comment at the bottom of the page, or contact us on twitter @DraftDiamonds and lets talk about it.

Economic growth has been robust in 2015 and is projected to increase to around 3½ per cent in 2016 and 2017. Improvements in the labour market and rising incomes will support private consumption. The launch of new car models and the modernisation of production lines by incumbent foreign investors will provide additional momentum to the car industry. Solid growth in the euro area and easing financing conditions will boost investment and exports.
After five years of fiscal consolidation, fiscal policy easing in 2014 and 2015 has provided room for strengthening measures to raise inclusive growth, notably active labour market programmes and social security exemptions for low-wage workers. However, as the Slovak Republic has one of the fastest ageing populations in Europe,further debt reduction is needed in the medium term.Widening the tax base, improving further tax collection and strengthening tax administration capacity are key.
Energy intensity is one of the highest in the OECD, but revenues from environmental taxation are among the lowest. Reducing subsidies on electricity consumption and promoting further renewable energy would make a contribution to climate change mitigation.

Melba's Swap Shop: Good pie makes good memories
DEAR MELBA: This Lemonade Pie was my Aunt Dorothy Heflin's recipe, and everyone in my family especially enjoyed going to her house, because we knew she would make one for us.
Aunt Dorothy did not list the size of the whipped topping, but I start with the 8-ounce container and use a little less than the entire container. This allows it to firm up better. And it really does better if made the day before serving it.
1 can (14 ounces) sweetened condensed milk
1 can (6 ounces) lemonade concentrate, thawed
1 container (8 ounces) whipped topping
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1 graham cracker piecrust
• Mix together the sweetened condensed milk, lemon concentrate and whipped topping, in that order, only until smooth. When mixed, add 1/2-teaspoon lemon juice; mix well. Spread in crust and chill overnight. Serves 6.

DEAR READERS: When B. Ellis of Moore asked for birthday cards for her mother's 100th birthday, I suggested that if she received 100 cards, it would be neat. You came through, as always. I know she received 106, maybe more. You all are the greatest! Thanks!
DEAR MELBA: I saw your reader's tip for boiling eggs by putting them in the oven. If anyone decides to try this, I would like to emphasize the importance of the oven temperature. I had seen this same idea on Facebook, and tried it.
However, your reader's suggestion was to bake them at 325 degrees. Facebook said 350 degrees. Evidently, those 25 degrees made a great difference. I tried 12 eggs. Four of them blew up, four more cracked and I couldn't even get the peel off the other four. It was not a pretty sight.
Anyway, that was my experience.

On teaching an interdisciplinary career course
Here's a question for my post-graduate readers: Looking back on the story of your own career, what do you wish that you had known during your college years about yourself, about your education, or about the world of work that awaited you upon graduation?
That question is precisely what I'll be trying to explore with over 250 undergraduate students this semester, as the faculty member in charge of the College of Letters and Science's newest one-credit course: INTER-LS 210, "Taking Initiative." Better known as "the L&S second-year career course," the idea is to introduce students not only to the instrumental skills of the job search (preparing a resume, writing a cover letter, and developing an online persona, for example), but also to the conceptual knowledge background of high-skill labor markets, the critical reflection practices of discovering one's strengths and goals, the information evaluation processes of researching occupations and majors, and the expert resources available across the UW-Madison campus — all of which are necessary to help students to turn a simple "job hunt" into a comprehensive "academic and career development plan."
I approach this course knowing well that my own thirty-year academic and career development path since first starting my undergraduate education in 1985 was anything but predictable. My first college degree, taken at a public research university much like the one where I work now, was in computer science. Of course, at the time I didn't know that would be my "first" degree; it took several jobs in both the for-profit and the non-profit sector before I realized that algorithm development and technology consulting were only part of what interested me in the world. So, sometime in my late twenties, I returned to university, first part-time and then full-time, to earn a doctoral degree in two fields which might seem as far from computer science as possible: history and geography. Yet the end of this story — so far at least — is that my resulting combination of professional training in technology and liberal arts training in the humanities and social sciences has served me extraordinarily well for the past fifteen years in my second career as a university professor.
It's these sorts of stories of "planned happenstance" that drive my interest in teaching this new career course. Throughout the semester we'll be taking students through a structured process of critical reflection intended to demonstrate to them that the various components of their "Wisconsin Experience" — both inside and outside of the classroom — provide them with a rich menu of high-impact educational options that will prepare them for a wide variety of important and rewarding careers (including many that haven't even been invented yet). One of the secrets of turning academic curiosity and excellence into success on the job market, though, is being able to tell the story of your educational accomplishments to a hiring decision-maker — convincing a for-profit, non-profit, or public organization that you can add value, energy, and creativity to their mission. So storytelling in this class isn't just a pedagogical tool we choose as the instructors — it's a learning outcome for the students as well.
I say "we" in terms of instructors because this class, part of the new L&S Career Initiative led by Dean John Karl Scholz and Assistant Dean Rebekah Pryor Paré, represents the most broad-based division of educational labor that I've ever had the good fortune to be involved with. Like many large classes of over 250 students, we have the standard team of graduate teaching assistants leading small discussion sections which complement the engagement of students in my large lectures. But besides the TAs, each discussion section will include a professional UW academic or career adviser, on hand to help students with questions and assignments in realtime. These UW experts come from L&S Career Services, from the Cross-College Advising Service, and from several major departments. And still there's more: each discussion session will be paired with one of nineteen volunteer UW alumni, who will participate in the conversation via remote conferencing three times during the course of the semester. Many of these fantastic alums are not only taking precious time to engage with our students as mentors, but also underwriting the costs of the course through generous gift donations. I can't thank them all enough.
Take a look at the final syllabus for the course, if you're interested. And please contact me if you're a UW-Madison student, faculty colleague, staff colleague, or alum who would like to become more involved in this innovative, interdisciplinary effort.
A brief history of innovation in higher education
Today it was my pleasure to speak at the annual UW-Madison Teaching and Learning Symposium as one of three keynote speakers on the theme of "Transforming Education." (I want to thank everyone who stayed to hear my talk, especially since it was at the end of the whole event and lunch was calling!)
As with the earlier talks by Professor Davidson and Professor Ladson-Billings, my presentation, "A brief history of innovation in higher education," drew on my own research to explore this topic:
The rhetoric of innovation implies something new and revolutionary, but higher education has a long tradition of experimenting with new technologies, new audiences, and new strategies for teaching and learning. In this talk, Professor Downey will draw on his research into technology and society to set the current debates over higher education innovation in historical context.
I won't repeat the talk in this post — you can check out reaction on Flickr and Twitter (#teachuw) if you like — but let me just post the slides and highlight the conclusion:
- Technological innovations in education are always complex, often contradictory, and inevitably tied up with questions about work, value, identity, and power.
- Considering our own syllabi in historical context can help us productively engage with such questions.
- All of our scholarship — whether on today's digital-savvy youth, tomorrow's advances in brain science, or yesterday's information infrastructures — can and should be rich sources of teaching and learning innovation.
Finally, here are some links to the original research on which the three case studies in the talk were based:
- Questioning the effectiveness of career training for a changing economy within telegraphy: Gregory J. Downey, "The myths of education," in Telegraph Messenger Boys: Labor, Technology, and Geography (New York: Routledge, 2002).
- Questioning the proper role of information professionals versus digital tools in the library: Greg Downey, "The librarian and the Univac: Automation and labor at the 1962 Seattle World's Fair," in in C. McKercher and V. Mosco, eds., Knowledge Workers in the Information Society (Lanham, MD: Lexington Books, 2007).
- Questioning public funding of media accessibility for minority audiences through television: Greg Downey, "Teaching reading with television: Constructing closed captioning using the rhetoric of literacy," in A.R. Nelson and J.L. Rudolph, eds., Education and the Culture of Print in Modern America (Madison: Univ. of Wisconsin Press, 2010).
- Greg Downey, "Media Meets Work: Time, Space, Identity, and Labor in the Analysis of Information and Communication Infrastructures," in T. Gillespie, P.J. Boczkowski, and K. Foot, eds., Media Technologies: Essays on Communication, Materiality, and Society (Cambridge, MA: MIT Press, 2014).
Thanks again to the organizers of this event for inviting me, and to the audience for their thoughtful commentary!
An end-of-year message from the outgoing SJMC Director
Dear students of the School of Journalism & Mass Communication:
As I bring my five-year term as Director of the School to a close this month, I am so proud of the progress that our faculty, our staff, and you, our students, have made together. These were some of the worst budget years for the nation, as well as an unprecedented period of disruptive technological change for the whole mass communication industry. But thanks to all of our efforts, our School is stronger than ever before.
Consider just a few comparisons with where we were in Spring 2009 when I first became Director. Today, we count a hundred more majors (and we admit more students each semester); we distribute more scholarship money (including new funds supporting student internships); we engage in more community partnerships (including our award-winning collaboration with the Wisconsin Center for Investigative Journalism); and we employ more faculty and staff than at any time since I was hired back in 2001 (with one more new professor, specializing in global media ethics, joining us next fall).
I want to thank you all for your hard work, your support, and your creativity through these challenging years. And … I'd like to ask you for one more thing.
Over the past week we've been running a social media campaign across the web and mobile media — including Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, and our own UW-Madison site — around the theme #SJMCGaveMe. Our goal has been to solicit stories about the difference that SJMC has made in the lives and careers of our many colleagues, alumni, friends and supporters around the world. In just one week we have heard so many great things and reconnected with so many important stakeholders — so far, the campaign has been a huge success! Check out some of the stories on Twitter by searching the hashtag #SJMCGaveMe, or just visit http://sjmcgaveme.journalism.wisc.edu
Our #SJMCGaveMe campaign is still going on for one more week, and I'd like to personally invite you to participate as well. Nothing pleases our alumni more than to hear from the current generation of students who are following in their footsteps. Please, visit http://sjmcgaveme.journalism.wisc.edu/shareyourstory/ today, and share a story of your own. Especially for our graduating seniors, not only do we want to hear from you now, before you leave campus, but also we want to keep in contact with you as you move into your lives and careers beyond UW-Madison.
Finally, if you are so inclined, I'd also like to invite you to make a small gift to our Annual Fund — the same fund we use to keep our iPads up to date, to pay student hourly workers for special projects, and to make sure that our faculty and staff receive the best professional training so that they may pass along the latest techniques to all of you in the classroom. You can find our donation page at http://bit.ly/donatesjmcgaveme
No donation is too small! For graduating seniors, for example, a donation of $20.14 might be a nice symbolic gesture. Plus, for the next week, every donation will be matched dollar-for-dollar by our Alumni Board of Visitors. If you've benefited from our technology resources, our scholarships, or our intensive classroom experiences like Curb magazine, you know what kinds of great things these donations can do for the next generation of students. You can start giving back today at http://bit.ly/donatesjmcgaveme
OK, that's the end of the sales pitch. Let me just close by saying that it has been an honor and a privilege to serve all of you as SJMC Director, and I wish all of you the very best in all that you do. And remember, whether you're graduating this year or not, don't ever stop learning — and leading. You're Badgers — and you're J-Schoolers — and we hope you'll always call our campus, and our School, your home.

A new job where I will be wearing more ties
So, invisible blog audience, I have some news. As UW-Madison College of Letters and Science Dean John Karl Scholz emailed out today,
I am pleased to announce that Greg Downey, Evjue-Bascom Professor in the School of Journalism and Mass Communication (SJMC) and the School of Library and Information Studies (SLIS), has been appointed the new Associate Dean for the Social Sciences in the College of Letters & Science beginning May 26.
I'm humbled and delighted to have been chosen by Karl for this job, and I look forward to learning more about all of the departments and units that will soon be under my stewardship as an Associate Dean. For the next two months I'll be working closely with our current Associate Dean for Social Sciences, Maria Cancian, to make my transition into South Hall a smooth one. (For those of you who don't know her, Maria is the official dictionary definition of "a hard act to follow" in this role, but I will do my best.)
I wouldn't have been a candidate for this job without the five years of intensive administrative and leadership training that my fellow faculty, staff, and students in the School of Journalism & Mass Communication have so graciously (if perhaps unknowingly) provided for me during my time as SJMC Director. And I am relieved that even as Associate Dean, I will continue to be able to teach my undergraduate course on The Information Society with my fellow faculty, staff, and students in the School of Library & Information Studies.
This summer, if you're the chair or director of an L&S social sciences unit, please expect that I'll come calling with some coffee for a nice long conversation about how we can best work together to support your research, teaching, and service mission. For everyone else, don't be shocked if you see me bicycling past you toward South Hall wearing a tie and jacket. (But probably not the cowboy hat.)
On my way to Berlin
I'm on my way to Berlin this week for the 2014 iSchools Conference, or "iConference," dealing with all sorts of crunchy information infrastructure, history, and labor issues. This is my first time participating in this conference, as our UW-Madison School of Library and Information Studies just officially became an iSchool fairly recently. I'll be hanging out with my colleagues Kristin Eschenfelder and Kalpana Shankar at the first poster session, pondering the history and geography of social science data archives. Thanks to Ingrid Erickson and Bonnie Mak for both inviting me to participate in two other interesting events, one at the start of the conference and one at the end!
Defending media research in the public interest
For those of you who have watched me cancel meetings and defer obligations this week, citing an unspecified "media crisis" having to do with my role as Director of the School of Journalism & Mass Communication, wonder no longer. I was involved in defending the work of my colleague and friend, Vilas Distinguished Achievement Professor Lewis Friedland, in trying to uncover the critical information needs of underserved localities and social groups. Today Lew published a superb analysis of the situation in the Washington Post:
Sometimes research takes on a life of its own and becomes more like a Rorschach test for a national policy controversy. That's what's happened to a review of the literature on the critical information needs of American communities that I and colleagues from around the country conducted for the Federal Communications Commission in July 2012. The recommendations of the review informed a proposed pilot study in Columbia, S.C., of what, if any, critical information needs citizens have and whether they are being met in our rapidly changing media environment.
To conservative media from Fox News to Rush Limbaugh, this was an attempt to reintroduce the now-lapsed Fairness Doctrine and for President Obama to take control of America's newsrooms. Other former journalists and media critics apparently agreed. Still others took a more nuanced view – that this may not have been a government plot, but that it would be a waste of money, because either we already know what these needs are, or, there aren't any, or if there are, we can't know what they are.
In the end, the underlying theme was: we already know the answers. Americans either have no needs or none that the market is not meeting or can't meet. Don't do research. Don't ask these questions.
Click over to our department weblog Mediated Communication to read the rest of Lew's important essay. It's well worth your time.
