With scientific rigor, poetic deftness, and compelling personal stories, Jon Kabat-Zinn examines the mysteries and marvels of our minds and bodies, describing simple, intuitive ways in which we can come to a deeper understanding, through our senses, of our beauty, our genius, and our life path in a complicated, fear-driven, and rapidly changing world. Here, Dr. Kabat-Zinn shows us how, by "coming to our senses"--both literally and metaphorically, we can become more compassionate, aware human beings, and in the process, contribute to the healing of the body politic as well as our own lives in ways both little and big."

The Mindful Way through Depressionby Jon Kabat-Zinn Zindel V. Segal John D. Teasdale J. Mark Williams
If you've ever struggled with depression, take heart. Mindfulness, a simple yet powerful way of paying attention to your most difficult emotions and life experiences, can help you break the cycle of chronic unhappiness once and for all. In The Mindful Way through Depression, four uniquely qualified experts explain why our usual attempts to "think" our way out of a bad mood or just "snap out of it" lead us deeper into the downward spiral. Through insightful lessons drawn from both Eastern meditative traditions and cognitive therapy, they demonstrate how to sidestep the mental habits that lead to despair, including rumination and self-blame, so you can face life's challenges with greater resilience. This e-book includes an audio program of guided meditations, narrated by Jon Kabat-Zinn, for purchasers to stream or download from the Web. See also the authors' Mindful Way Workbook, which provides step-by-step guidance for building your mindfulness practice in 8 weeks.

The Mindfulness Keyby Jon Kabat-Zinn Sarah Silverton
This groundbreaking book explains how to practise mindfulness, using step-by-step exercises to help the reader understand key techniques such as breathing, relaxation, body scanning and concentration building. Written by a team of practising therapists led by Sarah Silverton, it includes chapters on using mindfulness to self-treat such specific problems as depression, stress, anxiety, chronic illness, and childcare and relationship issues.As we progress through each chapter, we learn how to become aware of unhelpful automatic reactions to our emotions, feelings and experiences. Rather than 'reacting' to life as we always have, mindfulness shows us how to observe our experience and as a result behave in a way that is gentler, wiser and more positive.Practical, accessible and featuring uncomplicated exercises to help the reader fully understand and adopt the mindfulness approach, this book truly is a breakthrough: the most friendly and engaging title available on the subject; and one which, like a trusted therapist, guides the reader through his or her problems and questions, anticipating their needs with kindness and compassion."This book has so much potential to help people and contribute to the flowering of greater well-being and sanity on this planet." Jon Kabat-ZinnFrom the Trade Paperback edition.
Search Inside Yourselfby Daniel Goleman Jon Kabat-Zinn Chade-Meng Tan
For the benefits of meditation to become widely accessible to humanity, it cannot just be the domain of bald people in funny robes living in mountains, or small groups of New Age folks in San Francisco. Meditation needs to become "real." It needs to align with the lives and interests of real people.--from Search Inside YourselfEarly Google engineer and personal growth pioneer Chade-Meng Tan first designed Search Inside Yourself as a popular course at Google intended to transform the work and lives of the best and brightest behind one of the most innovative, successful, and profitable businesses in the world . . . and now it can do the same for you.

This is your guide to enhancing productivity and creativity, finding meaning and fulfillment in your work and life, and experiencing profound peace, compassion, and happiness while doing so.

In other words, Search Inside Yourself shows you how to grow inner joy while succeeding at your work. Meng writes: "Some people buy books that teach them to be liked; others buy books that teach them to be successful. This book teaches you both. You are so lucky."

The Way of Mindful Education: Cultivating Well-Being in Teachers and Studentsby Jon Kabat-Zinn Daniel Rechtschaffen
A new educational paradigm for youth mindfulness. "If you are a teacher, or an educator, or involved in school administration and curriculum development, the book you hold in your hands has the potential to transform your life, the lives of your students, and the life of the school itself, as well as education in America."--Jon Kabat-Zinn, PhD, from the Foreword With attention spans waning and stress on the rise, many teachers are looking for new ways to help students concentrate, learn, and thrive. The Way of Mindful Education is a practical guide for cultivating attention, compassion, and well-being not only in these students, but also in teachers themselves. Packed with lesson plans, exercises, and considerations for specific age groups and students with special needs, this working manual demonstrates the real world application of mindfulness practices in K-12 classrooms. Part I, Why Mindful Education Matters, explains what mindfulness is, the science behind its benefits for students and educators, and the inspiring work that is already underway in the Mindful Education movement. In Part II, Begin with Yourself, we are reminded that in order to teach mindfully, we need to be mindful. Here teachers will learn the when, where, and how of mindfulness so they can effectively embody its practices with their students. Mindfulness practices offer teachers self-care and attention skills that prepare them to teach with greater energy and mastery. Discover how simple exercises can help manage stress, focus attention, develop compassion, and savor positive experiences in everyday life. Part III, Cultivating a Mindful Classroom, explores the qualities of a mindful teacher, the ingredients of a mindful learning environment, and helpful skills for appropriate, supportive work with cultural diversity, student stress and trauma, and varying age groups and developmental stages. Finally, in Part IV, Mindful Education Curriculum, we learn eighteen ready-to-use mindfulness lessons for use in schools. These practical exercises, designed to foster skills like embodiment, attention, heartfulness, and interconnectedness, can be readily adapted for any age group and population, and the author draws from his extensive personal experience to offer a wealth of tips for introducing them to students in real-time. Decades of research indicate the impressive benefits of mindfulness in social, emotional, and cognitive development, and as an antidote to emotional dysregulation, attention deficits, and social difficulties. This book invites teachers, administrators, and anyone else involved in education to take advantage of this vital tool and become purveyors of a mindful, compassionate, ethical, and effective way of teaching.

"Wherever You Go, There You Are is a remarkably clear and practical guide to meditation. This is a truly profound book in its deceptive simplicity and insight. Dr. Jon Kabat-Zinn truly lives what he teaches." -Dr. Kenneth R. Pelletier

By Harry Kane
A house fire in Somerville Tuesday morning displaced eight tenants, according to Deputy Chief Patrick Sullivan III. Firefighters responded to the three-alarm Porter Square fire after receiving the call at 5:05 a.m.
Preliminary reports point to the fire's origin on the first floor of 19 Banks St. The blaze swept through the second floor, living room area and kitchen. The fire then spread to the next-door home at 17 Banks St.
All tenants made it to safety, but one Somerville resident reportedly was taken to the hospital for a slight case of smoke inhalation.
By approximately 7:35 a.m., "we pretty much had the fire under control," Sullivan said. "They still had a lot of work to do in chasing down hotspots within the dwellings."
The home at 19 Banks St. sustained fairly extensive damage, while the neighboring home at 17 Banks St. had only third floor and roof area damage, fire officials said.
"It is not a suspicious fire and the investigator is presently working to come up with the actual oriented cause," Sullivan said.

Help me find work in the US
Having just come back from visiting family in a few different states, I'm now beginning to feel that their suggestions for me to move closer to them might be a good idea.

Are LA City relocation assistance payments tax exempt?

Tax me
How do relocation expenses paid directly to a 3rd party work on your taxes (US)? We received the relocation expense breakdown from employer today and there is about $15,000 listed as w-2 reportable income, that was strictly the cost paid directly to the movers. Will we be paying taxes on that? Will our total income be our regular taxable income plus this $15000? Should we start having more taxes taken out of the paycheck to avoid any yucky surprises next year at tax time? Everything I find online talks about deductible expenses, but I don't see how that even applies to this situation because we weren't reimbursed for anything, the employer handled everything with the movers directly. We meet all the requirements for qualified moving expenses (time, distance and start of work), but again, don't know where that fits in. This will apply to the 2014 taxes, so we have plenty of time to get a better grasp of how it works. You are not my CPA or TA (we may get one, but I would still like to understand and prepare accordingly if we will be getting pounded at tax time).

I'm considering a possible tech job in the Seattle area (actually Kirkland). I live in Montreal. We're not planning to relocate to Seattle as yet -- it's a 9-12 month contract only.

A two bedroom apartment my family can visit, a car, health insurance (as a dual national, I don't pay for health insurance here in Quebec), trips home... anything else? I'm trying to figure out how much I would net after the temporary relocation expenses. (The company does not pay relocation expenses.) What sort of non-financial factors should I consider, based on your experience temporarily relocating without your family?

Cystic Fibrosis (CFTR) Mutation Panel
|Cystic Fibrosis (CF)
|Gene Names
|Clinical info
|**This test will no longer be available after September 30, 2016.**
Cystic fibrosis is a common autosomal recessive disorder that affects many functions of the body such as respiration, endocrine function, and reproduction. Although great strides in treatment have increased the length and quality of life for CF patients, it is nearly always fatal by the fourth decade of life. Sweat chloride testing remains the gold standard for diagnosis of CF, however DNA analysis is indicated not only for CF patients but also for their extended families. In addition to providing information about the specific mutations that cause CF, molecular testing allows rapid detection of cystic fibrosis carriers and can determine if the patient has a pancreatic sufficient or insufficient type of the disease. This information plays a large role in clinical management of the affected individual. Over 1000 mutations have been described in the CFTR gene. The carrier rates of the disorder are 1/25 Caucasians, 1/60 African-Americans, 1/46 Hispanics, 1/90 Asians, and 1/29 in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
|The NIH Consensus Development Conference on Genetic Testing for Cystic Fibrosis were published in 1999 recommending for adults with a positive family history of cystic fibrosis, partners of people with CF, couples planning a pregnancy and couples presenting for prenatal care and males with congenital bilateral absence of the vas deferens.
Molecular testing is useful to confirm the diagnosis and to identify the disease causing mutations within a family to allow for carrier testing and prenatal diagnosis.
|GGC's panel screens for the 32 most common mutations. The detection rate depends upon ethnicity.
Northern European Caucasian: 88%
Ashkenazi Jewish: 94%
African American: 64%
Hispanic: 72%
Asian American: 49%
|Specimen Requirements
|5 to 10 ml of peripheral blood collected in an EDTA (lavender top) Vacutainer tube is preferred. The minimal blood needed for reliable DNA isolation is 3 ml.
|The specimen should be kept at room temperature and delivered via overnight shipping. FedEx is preferred. If shipment is delayed by one or two days, the specimen should be refrigerated and shipped at room temperature. Do not freeze the specimen. Samples collected on Friday can be safely designated for Monday delivery.
|Turnaround time
|10 days
|Prenatal testing
|Prenatal diagnosis is available if the familial mutations are known. Additional fees for cell culture and maternal cell contamination may apply. Maternal cell contamination studies are required for all prenatal molecular tests. Contact the laboratory prior to sending a prenatal specimen.
|CPT Codes
|$300 for 32 mutation panel

Opening statement:
Good morning. I had an opportunity to address our team this morning, yesterday as well, about the significance and importance of being in the playoffs, about the second season, about the fact that the Philadelphia Eagles are a very good football team. They're in our division. We know them very well (and) they know us very well. These games are always extremely physical. Our experience this year has been kind of a back and forth experience with us going to Philadelphia and winning early and them coming here and winning late. What I did was spend a lot of time with our team this morning talking about this most recent game, because it was only a couple of weeks ago, and having an opportunity to talk about much of what I said to them Monday following that game and trying to come to some conclusions on how that game might have been turned in our favor. It's an exciting week. The energy is high, but we have good presence. I think we have an attitude and obviously we have a lot to prove. Obviously we're the underdog. Those things all are very real. They're something we can grasp. We look forward to the opportunity to play in the game. I think we'll have both feet on the ground. We know it will be a very physical game. That's what these NFC East, excuse me, playoff games are, and we look forward to that.
Q: What are your practice plans for Jeremy Shockey and Rich Seubert?
A: Seubert will practice today, Shockey will be on the side and will hopefully we able to work tomorrow. We'll see.
Q: Is Shockey's ankle a lot better?
A: The swelling is down considerably from what it was last week. He improves each day. We're just going to have to see about that.
Q: I assume he wants to play pretty badly. Has he said anything to you about, 'Coach, put me in?'?
A: He wants to play very badly, yeah. I appreciate that question. That brought me right back down a little bit. Now my adrenaline is a little bit under control.
Q: The defense couldn't stop Philadelphia in the last game when it needed to. Is that something where you feel like your were close, or do there need to be more adjustments there?
A: There has to be more adjustments made, obviously, and there has to be – There were mistakes that were made that have to be corrected. But you know, in the final analysis, with 2:57 to play, it's 29-22 and we have the ball at the 20-yard line. I'm probably not the only one – maybe I am the only one – but I'm thinking this game is going to overtime. Despite that, that's part of the message this morning. It was a back and forth game. There were mistakes made on both sides of the ball. I could give you a whole litany of things that I saw again, which if you look at your notes following the game, you'll know exactly what I would have said to them today. But the fact of the matter is again, regardless of what it was, there was plenty of time for us and we were in position.
Q: Is the fact that you've won in Philadelphia already this season something you'll remind the team of?
A: Throughout the course of the week we'll talk about that. We briefly touched on it yesterday, but again, being on the road and having some success on the road, we have experienced that this year, to a certain extent. Again, it is the playoffs. It is a road game, but we're excited about the opportunity.
Q: This might have been the case anyway, but especially given Tiki Barber's game in Washington, will you expect them to jam the box and put the game on Eli Manning, and what makes you confident he will be able to handle that?
A: Well, I think he will, and I think that will be part of our preparation, obviously. With the Eagles it's always a pressure game. They're going to come – you know that. That's their style. That's their M.O., and we have to be very much aware of that and of course be at our best under those pressure situations. I hope we have that kind of a week of practice and have some – we have to have diversity in our attack, there's no doubt. (We have to) get the ball spread around some, take our chances down the field, as we will. Last week we did have some success into the pressure with the run game and I'm sure that's being evaluated right now.
Q: Do you think last year's playoff game weighs on Eli at all?
A: I don't think (so). We've referred to that only in terms of our approach and the intensity with which we practice, the speed with which we practice. I think each individual will look at their part in that. Obviously the conclusion has been made and we've made the statement – and the players have made the statement: we certainly don't want that kind of a feeling ever again.
Q: What does it mean to you and your defense to have a healthy Antonio Pierce on the field for these playoffs as opposed to last season when he was hurt?
A: Obviously it's a guy we very much need in the middle directing traffic. (He's a) very, very competitive guy who we can count on to be a solidifier, if you will, on the field. The fact that he's there is a huge plus. We just have to play better. We have to play better and I think I mentioned to you the other day that when we made some of the stops in the first half the other night, that was a real plus for our entire team. I think our team fed off those moments and hopefully we'll have more of those.
Q: When you talk to Tim Lewis about your defensive approach, and that you have no pressure with four guys in there. I know you don't want to give up the big plays, but does something have to change there?
A: Well, you do and it's not that we don't bring people. But when you bring people somebody has to get home. Your whole idea is to get people isolated where there's no help and then someone has to come free, and that's basically what has to happen. There are many occasions where we're bringing five or bringing six, but we're not getting home and it's giving the quarterback all kinds of time back there. Obviously this would have to change.
Q: Can you be confident at all this defense can contain Jeff Garcia?
A: When you look at their offensive team, they're a very productive offensive team. There's a certain amount of that, but I just looked at the game – the most recent game – and the games that have followed, and I look at that and say to myself how could this have been changed? What could be different about this? It's kind of the same thing I did with the coaches this week. The very first time I met with them, I had the key plays of the game and I had already gone back to the post-game analysis and looked at it and presented to them once again, what could we have done different(ly) to change these situations around? I think that's where we are right now. It's, as you know, it's a chess game and a cat-and-mouse thing and you hit some and you don't hit some, but you'd like to think we could hit a bit more than we did the last time we played.
Q: It's rare that a team can go far in the playoffs without a productive quarterback. What do you think Eli took out of last year's game and based on how he's played in the last month, do you think he can he step it up?
A: I do. I really do, and I think you're a few plays away from, even the other night, of having a big night. I think it's not fair totally to put it just on the quarterback. I think we could have helped him a lot, in terms of our patterns and route-running, the pressure situations with people dragging on our backs and things of that nature, creating separation. I think that has to happen a little bit more and I think certainly we have to make decisive decisions and get the ball with accuracy to people who are open. So I think all of those things prevail. I think he's constantly aware of that. We had a discussion yesterday about this preparation and going into this game and so-forth, and the Philadelphia game a couple of weeks ago. I'm very, very confident he will have an exceptional week and that he knows exactly what it's going to take to win, because we've obviously been there before with this team. If you'll remember, even in Philadelphia he stepped up into pressure and made a great throw to win that game. Hopefully we'll be able to do that again.
Q: Even though the playoff game from last year was not a positive experience, can he benefit from—
A: Yes. Yes, he can. He can look at that, he can draw from it. He can…Just his thoughts about it. I wouldn't send him back looking at that game for obvious reasons – nor any of us. But he can draw upon that and we've referenced that this morning.
Q: The Eagles are obviously feeling very good, maybe even invincible, coming into the playoffs on the streak they've had. Is that a higher motivation than coming in as an underdog?
A: I think that whatever their position is, they've earned it. They've won five in a row. They are the NFC East champions. They're a good football team and they deserve that spot. But that doesn't take anything away from our team and the games we've had against them and the competitive nature of these games, and the competitive nature of the individuals as they prepare for this game. They have many good football players in Philadelphia. We have many good football players here.
Q: Which injury led you to put Corey Webster on IR?
A: The combination. It was the combination.
Q: Did he tear or break anything on the hip?
A: No, no. It's a continuous issue that he's had (that) again refocused or resurfaced the other day. The doctors made the decision that he couldn't be at his best out on the field and so the decision was made to go ahead and begin to move towards the procedure.
Q: If Seubert plays at guard and I assume David Diehl would be at left tackle, is that your best five guys?
A: We're going to have to see how Rich is. Rich has not played in awhile. I thought Grey (Reugamer) played well the other night. We're fortunate enough to have the two guys. I think that we'll see throughout the course of the week how Rich is going to come back from a practice and whether or not he's able to turn around and go right again. So we'll just judge that as we go.
Q: What about Diehl at left tackle? It looked like he did a good job the other night.
A: Very much so. He played well the other night. He's going to play against a very, very competitive, outstanding player again this week. He's just going to have to draw upon that experience and whatever help we can give him.
Q: With the Eagles you always hear the phrase "Jim Johnson defense". What is a Jim Johnson defense in your mind?
A: Well, it's an aggressive defensive style. There's always something new and different for you. You might play a game and have, for example, 15 or 16 pressures in that game (and have) 10 of them – 10 different types. There's not any one specific thing that you can zoom in on. It's just the pressure package, but it's also an aggressive defensive front (that) plays very well, for example, on the goal line (and) plays very well in short-yardage. So I think that they've overcome some things – the Kearse injury, obviously. They have played a lot of close games that they were able to win once Garcia got in the games and got his feet on the ground. You saw that (when) Garcia came into the Tennessee game and really had an awful lot of yardage. They just couldn't overcome a big lead. The next week it was the Indianapolis experience and they didn't win that one, but from that point on they've played well and he's played well.

Bank official goes nuts over coconut, kills man
By Express News Service - NAGAPATTINAM
Published: 03rd September 2013 08:40 AM
Last Updated: 03rd September 2013 08:40 AM
A petty quarrel over a coconut tree took a murderous turn after a 30-year-old man was beaten to death with a cricket bat by his neighbour near Agani village in Sirkazhi taluk on Sunday.
Sources said that Jeevanandham (30), a resident of Vadakku Theru in Agani village, and his neighbour Rajasekhar (35), director of a primary agriculture cooperative bank (PACB), had frequent quarrels as coconuts from the tree in the former's house were falling into the residence of his neighbour and PACB director Rajasekhar.
On Sunday, when Jeevanandham's mother Manjula entered the premises of Rajasekhar to collect coconuts that had fallen from the tree on their land, the latter's wife Ponselvi scolded her.
When Jeevanandham was informed of the incident, he picked up an altercation with Rajasekhar.
In a fit of rage, Rajasekhar grabbed a cricket bat and assaulted Jeevanandham. Jeevanandham, who sustained injuries, was rushed to Sirkazhi government hospital.
He was later referred to Tiruvarur government hospital, where he succumbed to his injuries on Monday morning.
Rajasekhar surrendered before the Kattumannarkudi court on Monday.

Today, on the other hand, might be a good opportunity for a breath, some down time before the festive times begin. If you are up early, why not an early morning bird walk in Washington Park or a nature hike in Franklin? »Read Full Blog Post

An item was damaged during shipping. What must a seller do when notified? The listing said 'no returns', does this affect the issue?
on 05-27-2013 02:57 PM
A seller can say No Returns in his listing, but items lost/damaged during shipping are still his responsibility. eBay's Buyer Protection policies will override a seller's No Returns policy every time.
However, although a seller is responsible, he also has the legal right to request proof of damage. If the buyer can't/won't send a few clear photos, then the seller can ask for the damaged item returned prior to a full refund.
Normally, sellers don't reimburse the buyer's return shipping, but if the seller realizes faulty packing on his part caused the damage, it's better to refund this amount, too.
Good luck!
Graciously grin when you growl...

If it was damaged during shipping it is the sellers responsibility and no returns is meaningless on eBay.
Depending on the item you could ask for pictures of the damage or return of the item but ultimately buyer is due a refund for item and original shipping.

If you are a person who is ecologically conscious, finding a way to make a homemade termite killer might become a priority if termites are around your house – or if you even have an inkling that you might be susceptible to termite infestation. The most effective way to get rid of termites, of course, is with chemicals.
However, a lot of people just are not comfortable with using strong and toxic chemicals in and around their home. This motivates people to try and find some DIY termite treatment that will be easy for them to use, and that is also actually effective in keeping the termites at bay. Unfortunately, there is no termite treatment do it yourself option that has proven to be as effective and fast as the chemical treatments are.
In general, the "professionals" do not recommend that you undertake a homemade treatment for termites. Getting rid of termites usually requires the use of powerful chemicals and it can be dangerous for anyone to try and manipulate these chemicals without the special training that goes along with them.
A do it yourself termite treatment program also requires that you know what areas around your house and buildings to target, so that you can be most effective in getting rid of these devastating insect pests.
However, that does not mean there is no way at all to get rid of termites without the use of those harsh chemicals. Termites are resilient creatures who simply look for a food source and once they find what they need, they go to work. The best DIY termite treatment is for you simply do your best to remove anything that might be a good source of food for a termite colony. If they have no food source, then they are unable to live.
Some things you can do to ensure there is as little termite food around as possible – is to remove any dead pieces of branches or wood of any kind, dig out old tree stumps, keep all firewood dry, clean up any damp leaves that may be laying around the outside of your home.
You should check all around your house for any miniscule entry spots that might allow termites to enter your home and begin their path of destruction in your walls.
Unlike other pests, you can't just sprinkle some hot pepper sauce on them or spray them with a vinegar and water mixture to kill them. They will live through that and continue to breed despite your best efforts. I don't recommend you try those normal pest control methods, because they simply don't work on termites. It will only cause you frustration and make you angry that you can't use a homemade termite killer to get rid of these unwelcome intruders.
It is a great idea to check out any diy termite treatment forum that you find online. You will find some people who have had successes with DIY termite treatments. And it is always helpful to be in contact with others who have had experience with whatever you are doing.
One web page that I found has an interesting tip that is a pretty good one. It suggests that you take a cardboard box and dampen it down. Then you place pieces of this around your home, keep the cardboard damp and monitor it closely. Termites like soft food and the weakened cardboard, which originates from a wood source, makes it an enticing meal for any nearby termite colony.
Once you find termites in the damp cardboard, then you take it somewhere and burn the lot. You will need to keep this process up for as long as you find termites still attacking and eating the cardboard. Keep replacing the cardboard and remember to keep it damp. It will require diligence on your part, but eventually you should be able to gain control – at least somewhat.
I found a post from one DIY termite treatment enthusiast that was interesting and I would like to share with you. His story is that he went to a local home improvement store and bought some diy termite bait for just under $20. He placed it around the foundation of his home and changed it as the box said. Since he monitored it regularly and changed the termite bait according to directions, he found that he didn't get a termite problem at all.
What is funny about his story is that he wanted to know how much does termite treatment cost, so he had invited a pest control company came out to assess his home and give him an estimate on the cost to control termites at his home. Their estimate was over $1,300! In his quest for a DIY termite killer, he did actually find a commercial product that worked just as well as a pest control company's but for a whole lot less money.
Use common sense when trying to come up with a homemade termite killer and be diligent about your efforts. If you take the time to pay attention to your home, you will eventually be able to come up with a DIY termite killer that will meet all of your needs and keep your home safe.
