A circuit judge handled some ongoing matters Monday in the case of Bruce Wade McDonald, who is charged with second-degree murder and numerous other charges.
A circuit judge handled some ongoing matters Monday in the case of Bruce Wade McDonald, who is charged with second-degree murder and numerous other charges.
Last May, authorities say, McDonald shot and killed his grandfather, Eli Kirk, 73, with a shotgun at his home in Fort McCoy.
McDonald, 32, also is accused of aiming the loaded shotgun at a deputy who was dispatched to the house and shooting the deputy in the chest. Other deputies at the scene returned fire and struck McDonald, according to an arrest report.
The deputy survived the attack.
McDonald has been deemed unable to stand trial because of his mental condition and is currently in a mental health facility.
On Monday, prosecutors wanted to move the case along since it's been active for the past year. In an effort to do so, Chief Assistant State Attorney Ric Ridgway asked the court to set a cutoff date for McDonald's defense attorneys to take depositions of 38 witnesses.
He also asked the court to rule that once it determines McDonald's competence, that the defense have him evaluated by experts within 30 days of that order.
Assistant Public Defender Tricia Jenkins objected to both motions. She argued that her client is psychotic and that she has no way to effectively speak with him.
"You cannot communicate with my client about the offense" because of his mental state, she said.
As a result, Jenkins argued, there would be no way for her to adequately depose the witnesses or have her client evaluated by a psychologist.
But with the case inactive for almost a year, Circuit Judge Robert Hodges felt there should be some preparation while the court waits to see if McDonald will regain competence.
He ordered that Jenkins complete the depositions within 180 days. And if the court orders McDonald competent to proceed, that she have him evaluated by a psychologist within 30 days. She'll also have to release the expert's name to the court if she plans to use his or her evaluation.
In February, Jenkins filed a notice of intent to rely on the insanity defense in McDonald's case.
In sworn interviews with authorities, McDonald's grandmother, Lavada Kirk, said that he had been "very unstable and agitated" the day of the incident. She said he broke into a relative's home and took the shotgun and paced outside her house, threatening to harm his family.
Kirk said she tried to calm him down and get McDonald to give her the shotgun. But he became agitated and aimed the gun at her. That's when her husband intervened and McDonald reportedly shot him.
When authorities interviewed McDonald after taking him into custody, he told them he had been hearing voices that said his family members wanted to hurt him. He said he got the shotgun intending to shoot his family members.
Authorities say McDonald admitted that he became very upset and intentionally shot his grandfather and the deputy, according to an arrest report.
He was later charged with second-degree murder, two counts of attempted second-degree murder, aggravated battery and assault, grand theft and burglary of a dwelling.
Until McDonald regains competence, the case won't be able to proceed.

Yes, that sounds like a smart, gradual and safe approach. Best of luck!
Steak, eggs, potatoes - fruits, nuts, berries and forage. Coconut milk and potent herbs and spices. Tea instead of coffee now and teeny amounts of kelp daily. Let's see how this does! Not really had dairy much, and gut seems better for it.

Who was Hudson Taylor?
Hudson Taylor was a HISTORY MAKER
Born in the 1830's in Yorkshire, England, he spent most of his life in China, and that country has never been the same. In all, he spent 51 years of his life in there; he led a society of over 800 missionaries who founded 125 schools and established 300 stations of work with the help of hundreds of local volunteers. When he was 73, Taylor made his 11th trip to China; he died there and was buried near the Yangtze River.
American historian Kenneth Scott Latourette called him one of the greatest missionaries of all time, and "one of the four or five most influential foreigners who came to China in the nineteenth century for any purpose."
It may be obvious why his story was a formative influence in the lives of Amy Carmichael, Jim Elliot, Eric Liddell, and Billy Graham.
Hudson Taylor was a SURVIVOR
Hudson Taylor was a small man, and not strong; he was often sick and even spent one long winter paralyzed from a spinal injury he suffered in a fall. He also knew what it was to suffer heartache: his first wife died of cholera after only 12 years of marriage and he also suffered the loss of six children. He endured famine, lived through civil war, suffered loss through fire and robbery, and lived sparingly on what was spontaneously given, vowing to never publicize his needs or ask for help except in prayer.
Hudson Taylor was a VISIONARY
Taylor approached missions differently than anyone else, breaking new ground in the area of cultural sensitivity. In the course of his life, he served as a medical doctor in China, established an innovative mission that left the world profoundly changed. Tens of thousands of lives – maybe millions of lives – were changed in China, and countless others were changed around the world as people caught a vision for Christian service and joined him through prayer and giving as well as going.
Hudson Taylor was RELEVANT
Long before it was cool, Taylor recognized the importance of cultural sensitivity. He was even willing to cause a near-scandal in his day by encouraging his co-workers, including the women, to adopt local dress. Indeed, the entire model of Christian service and missions changed as the result of his life and work, and he has been called "the father of modern missions."
Hudson Taylor was FAITHFUL
He had an unwavering confidence in the transforming power of the Gospel, but he also understood the importance of preparation, seeking training in medicine and theology before embarking on a life of service.
He was obedient to God's call. Through many hard times, he lived a life of faithfulness. One of our favorite Taylor quotes goes like this:
"A little thing is a little thing, but faithfulness in little things is a great thing."
Hudson Taylor was ECUMENICAL
Hudson Taylor was non-sectarian –welcoming of co-workers from many denominational backgrounds, including women, minorities and members of the working class. The son of a lay preacher, he was raised Methodist, but had ties to Baptist and Open Brethren groups. He was a 'kingdom-minded' leader whose example continues to inspire us.
Hudson Taylor was a SOCIAL ACTIVIST
Taylor clearly saw the influence of the Gospel as affecting people's circumstances, not just their eternal destiny. He valued service, never neglecting to preach the gospel, yet never failing to meet the medical and social needs of the communities he visited.
He was committed to addressing needs for health, security, justice and freedom from bondage; one good example is his public opposition to the opium trade.
Hudson Taylor is OUR NAMESAKE
For Taylor College & Seminary, Hudson Taylor serves as an enduring symbol of what we aspire to accomplish in Christian education. After reading about him, you can see why we wanted to re-name our school in his honor – and you have to admit, he had a pretty cool beard.
A bit more about Taylor College & Seminary
Our school opened in 1940 under the name Christian Training Institute with a focus on developing lay leaders for churches. The school later formalized ties with the North American Baptists, offering a wider array of formal studies and degrees under the name North American Baptist College. We are now known as Taylor College & Seminary, named in honored of Hudson Taylor.
Our outstanding faculty continues to train people for full-time vocational service around the world; Taylor Seminary has a wide range of excellent programs and features a faculty that is rich with experience.
At Taylor, there is no false dichotomy between "spiritual" and "secular" education; rather, in every course, we seek to bring the best of human understanding into conversation with faithful theological reflection so that students graduate with a solid foundation for service in ministry or in the marketplace. Built on a legacy of excellence in spiritual formation and training for life, Taylor aspires to be your choice as a place to experience academic excellence and to build Christian character.

June, 2016 – WORKSHOP 2017 SUBMISSIONS CLOSED. Each spring, the call for proposals ends on March 15. The "Workshop Selection Committee" is currently viewing all submissions and is compiling next year's 42-workshop schedule. We will post the workshops soon at the Thursday to Sunday 'Workshops' on this Site. Start planning for your 2018 Conference submission and compose your proposal by the latest date – March 15, 2017.
Manager's comment: the 16 groups which run this Conference are very widely connected to organic foods & farming in Canada. We want to run the best annual event possible. We're counting on you if you're involved in organic farming, marketing, gardening, processing, standards, consumer issues – to get us your best proposal by deadline. This Conference is a reflection of you and the issues which you feel are important to the organic foods marketing sector. The 42 workshops which will form the 2017 Conference will reflect what the public wants to know.
The 2017 workshop proposal document is closed. Plan ahead to get your ideas in by March 15, 2017 to be considered for the following year: January, 2018.
All proposals, please send to: firstname.lastname@example.com – or mail it in via Canada Post OR you can even FAX it in to FAX# (705) 444-0380.
The following format is suggested but feel free to expand your comments in any of these sub-headings:
- Name of workshop (or give a choice of 2 or 3 names) – keep it simple, creative & interesting
- Suggested speaker (or speakers) – (A) is it a single person presenting, or is it (B) a 2-person talk or (C) actually a much larger panel. If it's a larger panel, who would you prefer to be the other proposed panelists? – we need those names because you must have an idea who they are and we want to see how you would construct such a panel – up to 3, 4, 5, 6 presenters !
- Duration of program – 1.0-hour, 1.25-hour, 1.5-hour or longer, i.e. 3.0-hour. Do you see this as a major seminar which could run as a ½-day (3-hour) or full-day program (note that we have very limited space for these large programs, so be very specific, so that we can consider your idea).
- Difficulty or challenge/involvement level of the subject you are proposing – e.g……. is it only for novices, or is it introductory, intermediate, advanced, expert, etc.
- Description – try to describe your presentation in 25-50 words (100 maximum). Provide the 5W's – who-what-where-why-when….. and how? Have we ever done this workshop in the past?
- Target Audience – (remember that anyone can attend any Guelph workshop even if the person is not directly in farming). Is your target 'certified organic growers,' or consumers, market gardeners, crop researchers, media, student interns, 10-acre landholders, 1000-acre transitional growers, permaculture advocates, highrise sprouters, or who? Is the target "general" – appealing to all?
- Is your proposal within a "larger theme of workshops"…. if so, think ahead and give 2 or 3 'proposed titles' of some of these other imagined workshops which might fit into that theme.
- Please provide any other comments on why your proposed workshop is necessary, significant, important or that it provides a new focus or will generate new interest at the Conference. Please: your proposal must be short + clear vs. vague or rambling (sorry, but we do get some of those). In the past we have received several 3- and 4-workshop proposals on the same theme, written on less than one page. Excellent.
- Final note: as an objective academic policy, our workshops do not want to be outright promotions for products, businesses, specific methodologies or belief systems without offering opposing or other views. If the Guelph Conference Committee likes your idea but feels it is too specific to your personal business enterprise, we may counter-propose a panel containing you + differing, opposing or conflicting views.
- Your contact information including: mailing address, postal code, phone/fax, e-mail, website (if applicable).
The Conference gets literally hundreds of workshop ideas every year – some of these are not very well developed. We will only accept proposals in the above format. When sending in your workshop idea, propose a catchy title, a solid speaker and a timely topic. This kind of proposal is more likely to be chosen. Please respond as soon as possible.
Mail to Box 116, Collingwood, ON, L9Y 3Z4 – or E-Mail a good, readable document via PDF. Do not be disappointed. Such is life. If you want to discuss your idea because it needs a little refinement, call the Manager. We'll help you get the idea into shape.

The morning started with the O. crew piling into a hotel shuttle van for the quick trip to Bronco Stadium and this crack-of-dawn college football ritual they call ESPN's College Football GameDay.
I struck up a conversation with a woman who was going solo to GameDay because her husband wouldn't get out of bed.
"Tell me his name,'' I told her, "and I'll call him out on OregonLive.''
"Ed Langsdorf,'' was the reply.
Yup, we were going to GameDay with Danny Langsdorf's mom and Dawsen Edward Langsdorf's grandmother.
And she was determined to get on ESPN with a sign that had Dawsen's name on it. ... if the OSU defense is that aggressive in tonight's game, watch out, Broncos.
As you might suspect, Boise turned out in force for GameDay, with an estimated 14,205 herded into the stadium to cheer on Fowler and Herbstreit and Corso and Co. ...there were guys oogling Erin Andrews during some of the earlier stuff on ESPNU but they kept it clean.
The signs were clever, of course a few examples being, "Welcome to OUR neighborhood, Mr. Rodgers'' ... and "This Tool brought to you by Home Depot'' (with a large mug shot of ESPN's Mark May) ... and "Erin, save the last dance for me!''
There were some well thought-out OSU signs, and a good representation of OSU fans, but this was clearly a Boise State show and man, these people were loud and wired.
"Just a little bit insane,'' said Chris Fowler.
Just a little.
GameDay itself has become an institution, with Herbie, and Fowler, and Corso, and Howard and yes, Andrews, who endeared herself to OSU faithful with some great sideline work during the College World Series.
While waiting in line, we ran into OSU alum Tony Lenz and his wife Angie, two Beavers who live in nearby Meridian.
So Tony, what's it like to be OSU fans, nestled deep in Bronco Country?
"It can be tough,'' said Lenz. "It sucks when you lose.''
And OSU has lost, big-time, in its last two appearances in Boise.
Once inside the stadium, fans got as close the stage as they were allowed by a security crew that did everything but ask us to take off our clothes and prove that we didn't have video equipment hidden in strange places.
"Mike'' the producer gets the crowd pumped up and tells them when to get really crazy for the "bumps'' that will be shown on ESPN before the show.
It is still dark, but Mike draws cheers when he says, "we're live in 45 minutes!''
Fowler remarks, "good energy for 6:15!''
The lower section of grandstand fills up, and now people are pouring into the upper section. Boise didn't break the record of over 15,000 - set when Notre Dame played at Nebraska - but this is impressive.
Just as ESPN's Mark May and Craig James seem to be hated figures in Boise because of their contention that BSU has no business being in the BCS championship game, people here also take a dim view of Corso.
When Corso says early in the show that "Boise State should be scared'' and talks up the Beavers (of course, he didn't pick them), there are loud boos.
"He just hates Boise State,'' a guy with his face painted blue and orange tells me.
"Corso's one of those guys who you would label more famous than good,'' says another BSU fan. "He's like Tony Romo.''
Corso's good-natured "taunting'' of the crowd - raising the OSU helmet, then the BSU helmet, then the OSU helmet - is not a precursor to his actually picking Oregon State to win the game.
No, as expected, he puts the Bronco mascot head on, to tremendous cheers.
Some might say even the youngsters here are knowledgeable college football fans, even if their world does not go past the blue and orange.
There was this kid who looked like he was about eight years old holding a sign that said, "Half my flag football team could score on the Beavers!''

Targeting reasoning biases in delusions: A pilot study of the Maudsley Review Training Programme for individuals with persistent, high conviction delusionsHelen Waller | Daniel Freeman | Suzanne Jolley | Graham Dunn | Philippa Garety
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 414-421
Delusions are often resistant to change, persisting despite successful antipsychotic treatment or Cognitive Behavioural Therapy. This study aimed to target reasoning processes, particularly the 'Jumping to Conclusions' (JTC) bias and belief flexibility, which are thought to play a part in maintaining delusional conviction. 13 participants with a diagnosis of psychosis and high levels of conviction in their delusions completed a one-off computerised training package, lasting approximately 1.5 h. Outcomes were assessed at baseline, pre-intervention (two weeks later), post-intervention (immediately after completing the training) and at 1 month follow-up. The package was well received by participants. There were improvements in JTC, belief flexibility and delusional conviction between pre- and post-intervention measures. Controlled studies powered to detect changes in key outcomes are warranted in order to evaluate the efficacy of the programme. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Cognitive behavioural treatment of insomnia in individuals with persistent persecutory delusions: A pilot trialElissa Myers | Helen Startup | Daniel Freeman
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 330-336
Background and Objectives: Insomnia is a putative causal factor for persecutory thinking. Recent epidemiological studies show a strong association of insomnia and paranoia. The clinical implication is that reducing insomnia will reduce paranoid delusions. This study, evaluating for the first time the treatment of insomnia in individuals with persecutory delusions, provides a test of this hypothesis. It was predicted that a brief cognitive behavioural intervention for insomnia (CBT-I) for individuals with persistent persecutory delusions and sleep difficulties would not only reduce the insomnia but that it would also reduce the paranoia. Methods: Fifteen patients with persistent persecutory delusions and insomnia in the context of a psychotic disorder were each individually given a standard-format, four-session CBT-I intervention. Outcome assessments were conducted at pre-treatment, post-treatment and one-month follow-up. Results: There were no missing data. Following the intervention, significant reductions were found in levels of insomnia and the persecutory delusions. The effect sizes were large, and the changes were maintained at the follow-up. At least two-thirds of participants made substantial improvements in insomnia and approximately half showed substantial reductions in the persecutory delusions. There were also reductions in levels of anomalies of experience, anxiety and depression. Limitations: The main limitations are the absence of a control group and unblinded assessments. A more methodologically rigorous evaluation of this intervention is now warranted. Conclusions: These preliminary findings suggest that CBT-I can be used to treat insomnia in individuals with persecutory delusions and that, consistent with the hypothesised causal role, it also lessens the delusions. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Overcoming the urge to splurge: Influencing eating behavior by manipulating inhibitory controlKatrijn Houben
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 384-388
Background and objectives: When inhibitory control is lacking, people are more prone to indulge in high calorie food. This research examined whether increasing or decreasing inhibitory control influences food intake in opposite directions. Methods: In this study, baseline inhibitory control ability was measured with the Stop Signal Task. Next, participants performed a modified Stop Signal Task with three within-subjects conditions: One type of high calorie food was always paired with a stop signal (inhibition manipulation), while another type of high calorie food was never presented with a stop signal (impulsivity manipulation). In the control condition, high calorie food was presented with a stop signal on half the trials. Following the manipulation, intake of the three food products that were used in the manipulation was measured during a taste test. Results: Participants with low inhibitory control abilities consumed more of the control food compared to participants with high inhibitory control abilities. However, the inhibition manipulation decreased food consumption in participants with low levels of inhibitory control to the same level of food intake as that of participants with high levels of inhibitory control. Conversely, the impulsivity manipulation increased food intake in participants with high levels of inhibitory control to the level of consumption of participants with low levels of inhibitory control. Conclusions: These findings demonstrate the causal role of inhibition in eating behavior and suggest that strengthening inhibitory control can help people regain control over the consumption of high calorie food. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Become more optimistic by imagining a best possible self: Effects of a two week interventionY. M C Meevissen | Madelon L. Peters | H. J E M Alberts
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 371-378
Background and objectives: Optimism is a personality trait which has repeatedly been shown to correlate with, and predict psychological and physical well-being. The present study investigated whether optimism can be increased by imagining a best possible self (BPS). Effects were compared to a control group in which participants imagined their daily activities (DA). Methods: In order to minimize inter-individual differences in content of imagery, participants constructed their BPS according to 3 domains, namely a personal, relational, and professional domain. All participants were instructed to practice their imagery exercise for 5 min per day over a period of two weeks. Effects on optimism and mood were measured after one session, after one week and after two weeks. Results: Results indicated that BPS imagery led to significantly larger increases in optimism as compared to DA imagery, after one session and over a two week period. Effects on optimism remained after controlling for possible mediation by the change in positive mood. Limitations: In order to test the effectiveness of our BPS imagery intervention we relied exclusively on self-report measures. Conclusion: The present study confirmed that imagining a BPS enhances levels of optimism, independent of the mood effect. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
The Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire (PTQ): Validation of a content-independent measure of repetitive negative thinkingThomas Ehring | Ulrike Zetsche | Kathrin Weidacker | Karina Wahl | Sabine Schönfeld | Anke Ehlers
Volume 42, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 225-232
Repetitive negative thinking (RNT) has been found to be involved in the maintenance of several types of emotional problems and has therefore been suggested to be a transdiagnostic process. However, existing measures of RNT typically focus on a particular disorder-specific content. In this article, the preliminary validation of a content-independent self-report questionnaire of RNT is presented. The 15-item Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire was evaluated in two studies (total N = 1832), comprising non-clinical as well as clinical participants. Results of confirmatory factor analyses across samples supported a second-order model with one higher-order factor representing RNT in general and three lower-order factors representing (1) the core characteristics of RNT (repetitiveness, intrusiveness, difficulties with disengagement), (2) perceived unproductiveness of RNT and (3) RNT capturing mental capacity. High internal consistencies and high re-test reliability were found for the total scale and all three subscales. The validity of the Perseverative Thinking Questionnaire was supported by substantial correlations with existing measures of RNT and associations with symptom levels and clinical diagnoses of depression and anxiety. Results suggest the usefulness of the new measure for research into RNT as a transdiagnostic process. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Cognitive control moderates the association between stress and ruminationEvi De Lissnyder | Ernst H W Koster | Liesbet Goubert | Thomas Onraedt | Marie Anne Vanderhasselt | Rudi De Raedt
Volume 43, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 519-525
Background and Objectives: A prospective design was used to examine whether inter-individual differences in cognitive control ability, for non-emotional and emotional material, play a moderating role in the association between the occurrence of a stressful event and the tendency to ruminate. Methods: At baseline, the Internal Switch Task (IST) was administered in an undergraduate sample to measure the ability to switch attention between items held in working memory. Six weeks after baseline, self-report questionnaires were administered at 4 fixed moments during their first examination period at university, measuring stressors, rumination and depressive symptoms. Results: Results revealed that impaired cognitive control, reflected in larger switch costs, moderated the association between stress and increased rumination. Interestingly, a larger switch cost when processing emotional material was specifically associated with increased depressive brooding in response to stress. No effects with reflective pondering were observed. Conclusions: Implications for understanding the underlying mechanisms of rumination are discussed. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Overgeneralized autobiographical memory and future thinking in combat veterans with posttraumatic stress disorderAdam D. Brown | James C. Root | Tracy A. Romano | Luke J. Chang | Richard A. Bryant | William Hirst
Volume 44, Issue 1, March 2013, Pages 129-134
Background: Studies show that individuals with Posttraumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) tend to recall autobiographical memories with decreased episodic specificity. A growing body of research has demonstrated that the mechanisms involved in recalling autobiographical memories overlap considerably with those involved in imagining the future. Although shared autobiographical deficits in remembering the past and imagining the future have been observed in other clinical populations, this has yet to be examined in PTSD. This study examined whether, compared to combat trauma-exposed individuals without PTSD, those with combat-related PTSD would be more likely to generate overgeneralized autobiographical memories and imagined future events. Method: Operation Enduring/Iraqi Freedom (OEF/OIF) veterans with and without PTSD were presented with neutral word cues and were instructed to generate memories or imagine future autobiographical events. Responses were digitally recorded and were coded for level of episodic specificity and content related to combat trauma. Results: Individuals with PTSD were more likely to generate overgeneral autobiographical memories and future events than individuals without PTSD, and were more likely to incorporate content associated with combat when remembering the past or thinking about the future. Limitation: Limitations of the study include a cross-sectional design, precluding causality; the lack of a non-trauma exposed group, relatively small sample, and almost all-male gender of participants, limiting the generalizability to other populations. Conclusion: These findings suggest that individuals with PTSD show similar deficits when generating personal past and future events, which may represent a previously unexamined mechanism involved in the maintenance of PTSD symptoms. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Taxing working memory reduces vividness and emotional intensity of images about the Queen's Day tragedyIris M. Engelhard | Marcel A. Van Den Hout | Monique A M Smeets
Volume 42, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 32-37
Eye movements during exposure to distressing mental images reduce their vividness and emotional intensity, which may be due to both tasks competing for working memory (WM) resources. WM theory predicts an inverted U-shaped relationship between degree of taxing and beneficial effects: greater taxing of WM will more greatly reduce vividness/emotionality, but extremely taxing tasks prevent holding the image in mind, thereby reducing benefits. This study examined whether mental arithmetic (subtraction) tasks during visual imagery reduce image vividness/emotionality ratings, and taxing WM and reduced vividness/emotionality show the predicted quadratic relationship. A non-clinical sample retrieved a distressing image of the Queen's Day tragedy (which occurred 1-3 months earlier in the Netherlands), and rated it for vividness and emotionality. Participants were assigned to one of four conditions: exposure alone or exposure with concurrent 'simple' subtraction, 'intermediate' subtraction, or 'complex' subtraction. Afterwards, vividness and emotionality were rated again. A reaction time task showed that the subtraction tasks increasingly taxed WM. Consistent with WM theory, exposure with subtraction reduced image vividness and emotionality compared to exposure alone. The expected inverse U-curve relationship was found for emotionality, but not for vividness: simple or intermediate subtraction had more beneficial effects than no dual-task or complex subtraction. Clinical implications are discussed. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Reducing contamination by exposure plus safety behaviourS. Rachman | Roz Shafran | Adam S. Radomsky | Eva Zysk
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 397-404
Background and objectives: It has been proposed that the judicious use of safety behaviour can facilitate improvements in the acceptability of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT). It was decided to explore the possibility of facilitating CBT by introducing a form of safety behaviour. We sought to assess the degree to which Exposure plus Safety Behaviour (E + SB) is an effective intervention for contamination fears. Methods: A comparison was made between the effects of a control condition (Exposure and Response Prevention; ERP) and an experimental condition (Exposure plus Safety Behaviour; E + SB) in which each exposure to a contaminant was followed by the use of a hygienic wipe in a sample of (n = 80) undergraduate students. In session one, each participant touched a confirmed contaminant 20 times. After each exposure participants were asked to report their feelings of contamination, fear, disgust, and danger. In the second session, two weeks later, the same procedure was carried out for a further 16 trials. Results: The ERP and the E + SB conditions both produced large, significant and stable reductions in contamination. Significant reductions in fear, danger and disgust were also reported in both conditions. Limitations: The treatment was provided to an analogue sample and over two sessions. Conclusions: The use of hygienic wipes, the safety behaviour used in this experiment, did not preclude significant reductions in contamination, disgust, fear and danger. If it is replicated and extended over a longer time-frame, this finding may enable practitioners to enhance the acceptability of cognitive behavioural treatments and boost their effectiveness. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Coping and experiential avoidance: Unique or overlapping constructs?Maria Karekla | Georgia Panayiotou
Volume 42, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 163-170
The present study examined associations between coping as measured by the Brief COPE and experiential avoidance as measured by the AAQ-II and the role of both constructs in predicting psychological distress and well-being. Specifically, associations between experiential avoidance and other types of coping were examined, and factor analysis addressed the question of whether experiential avoidance is part of coping or a related but independent construct. Results showed that experiential avoidance loads on the same factor as other emotion-focused and avoidant types of coping. The higher people are in experiential avoidance, the more they tend to utilize these types of coping strategies. Both experiential avoidance and coping predicted psychological distress and well-being, with most variance explained by coping but some additional variance explained by experiential avoidance. ANOVAS also showed gender differences in experiential avoidance and coping approaches. Results are discussed in light of previous relevant findings and future treatment relevant implications. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Trouble ahead, trouble behind: Narcissism and early maladaptive schemasVirgil Zeigler-Hill | Bradley A. Green | Randolph C. Arnau | Teddi B. Sisemore | Erin M. Myers
Volume 42, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 96-103
Narcissism is a multifaceted construct that is inconsistently defined and assessed between clinical psychology and social-personality psychology. The purpose of the present study was to examine the similarities and differences in the cognitive schemas underlying various forms of narcissism. This was accomplished by examining the associations of normal and pathological forms of narcissism with the early maladaptive schemas. The results showed important similarities in these associations (e.g., all of the narcissism scales were positively associated with the entitlement schema) as well as differences (e.g., vulnerable narcissism was the only form of narcissism that was positively associated with subjugation). Discussion focuses on the implications of these results for the ways in which individuals with these forms of narcissism perceive and navigate their social environments. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Dysfunctional core beliefs, perceived parenting behavior and psychopathology in gender identity disorder: A comparison of male-to-female, female-to-male transsexual and nontranssexual control subjectsLajos Simon | Unoka Zsolt | Dora Fogd | Pál Czobor
Volume 42, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 38-45
Background: Research into the association between Gender Identity Disorder (GID) and psychological disturbances as well as on its relation with parenting experiences yielded mixed results, with different patterns for Male-to-Female (MF) and Female-to-Male (FM) transsexual subjects. We investigated vulnerability markers of maladjustment and their possible origins in MF and FM transsexuals by examining maladaptive core beliefs and parenting behaviors thought to be specifically related to them. Methods: Dysfunctional core beliefs, parenting experiences and psychiatric symptoms were assessed by the Young Schema Questionnaire indexing 19 Early Maladaptive Schemas (EMS), the Young Parenting Inventory and the Symptom Checklist-90-R, respectively, in 30 MF, 17 FM transsexual and 114 control subjects (43 males, 114 females). Results: Subjects with GID demonstrated a level of psychiatric distress comparable to that of controls. They did display elevated scores, however, on multiple EMSs compared to nontranssexual subjects, indicating feelings of isolation, emotional deprivation and an urge to meet others' needs, with MF transsexuals conceptualizing themselves also as more vulnerable and deficient than controls. Parenting experiences of transsexual subjects were characterised by increased maternal dominance, emotional abuse and neglect compared to controls, with males being exposed to a disengaged maternal style and more paternal emotional neglect and criticism. Both MF and FM transsexuals were made felt that in areas of achievement they will inevitably fail. Conclusions: There is no evidence of elevated levels of psychiatric symptoms in GID, but potential predisposing factors, particularly in MF transsexuals, are present; these may originate from the more intense rejection they experience. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Changes in intolerance of uncertainty during cognitive behavior group therapy for social phobiaAlison E J Mahoney | Peter M. McEvoy
Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 849-854
Background and objectives: Recent research suggests that intolerance of uncertainty (IU), most commonly associated with generalized anxiety disorder, also contributes to symptoms of social phobia. This study examines the relationship between IU and social anxiety symptoms across treatment. Method: Changes in IU, social anxiety symptoms, and depression symptoms were examined following cognitive behavior group therapy (CBGT) for social phobia (N = 32). Results: CBGT led to significant improvements in symptoms of social anxiety and depression, as well as reductions in IU. Reductions in IU were associated with reductions in social anxiety but were unrelated to improvements in depression symptoms. Reductions in IU were predictive of post-treatment social phobia symptoms after controlling for pre-treatment social phobia symptoms and changes in depression symptoms following treatment. Limitations: The relationship between IU and social anxiety requires further examination within experimental and longitudinal designs, and needs to take into account additional constructs that are thought to maintain social phobia. Conclusions: Current findings suggest that the enhancing tolerance of uncertainty may play a role in the optimal management of social phobia. Theoretical and clinical implications are discussed. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Cognitive bias modification for attention and interpretation reduces trait and state anxiety in anxious patients referred to an out-patient service: Results from a pilot studyLee Brosan | Laura Hoppitt | Lorna Shelfer | Alison Sillence | Bundy MacKintosh
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 258-264
It is well established that anxious individuals show biases in information processing, such that they attend preferentially to threatening stimuli and interpret emotional ambiguity in a threatening way. It has also been established that these biases in attention and interpretation can causally influence anxiety. Recent advances in experimental work have involved the development of a paradigm known as Cognitive Bias Modification (CBM), a constellation of procedures which directly modify bias using computerised tasks. Excitingly, these procedures have been shown to reduce bias in attention to threat (CBM-A), and to promote a positive interpretive bias (CBM-I) in anxious populations; furthermore, these modifications are associated with reductions in anxiety. We believe that these techniques have the potential to create a real clinical impact for people with anxiety. Initial studies involved volunteer participants who reached criteria for clinical diagnoses to be made, but emerging evidence suggests that patients referred for therapy also benefit. For the purposes of experimentation researchers have normally looked at one procedure at a time. In order to try to maximise the potential clinical impact we wished to investigate whether the combination of the procedures would be more effective than either alone. We also wished to investigate whether the procedures could be carried out in routine clinical settings with patients referred to an out-patient psychological treatment service. We therefore carried out a pilot study using a combined approach of CBM-A and CBM-I with a sample of 13 anxious patients referred to an out-patient psychology service for cognitive therapy. The results showed successful reductions in threat related attentional and interpretive bias, as well as reductions in trait and state anxiety. Participant reports describe the procedures as acceptable, with the attentional task experienced as boring, but the interpretive one experienced as helpful. While recognising the methodological problems of the pilot study we believe that these results give indications that the techniques could provide an effective intervention for anxiety, and that further study is well justified. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Behavioral theory of depression: Reinforcement as a mediating variable between avoidance and depressionJohn P. Carvalho | Derek R. Hopko
Volume 42, Issue 2, June 2011, Pages 154-162
Behavioral theory posits that certain environmental changes and avoidant behaviors inhibit individuals from experiencing environmental reward and reinforcement and subsequently leads to the development and maintenance of depressive symptoms. Using self-report and behavioral (daily diary) indices of environmental reward as proxy measures for positive reinforcement, this investigation examined whether environmental reward mediated the relationship between avoidance and depression. When controlling for anxiety, both indices of environmental reward significantly mediated the relationships of depression with cognitive, behavioral and total avoidance. Post-hoc mediation analyses were conducted to examine potential gender differences. Self-reported environmental reward significantly mediated the relationship between avoidance and depression across both genders. Among females, however, daily diary-measured reward only mediated the relation between cognitive avoidance and depression. In males daily diary reward was a mediator with all three forms of avoidance and depression. This investigation provides initial support for reinforcement as a significant mediator between avoidance and depression and further highlights the relevance of avoidance and reinforcement in behavioral conceptualizations of depression. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd.

Challenges to the traditional exposure paradigm: Variability in exposure therapy for contamination fearsKatharina Kircanski | Arezou Mortazavi | Natalie Castriotta | Aaron S. Baker | Jayson L. Mystkowski | Rena Yi | Michelle G. Craske
Volume 43, Issue 2, June 2012, Pages 745-751
Background and objectives: Traditional models and methods of exposure therapy utilize a fear hierarchy, whereby patients complete sets of exposures in a graduated manner, with the goal of fear habituation within and between sessions. In the current experiment, we examined whether this typical exposure paradigm was necessary to achieve clinical improvement. Method: Fifty undergraduate participants scoring in the top quartile of a self-report measure of contamination fears were randomly assigned to one of two groups: blocked and constant exposure (BC Group) and random and variable exposure (RV Group). Both groups completed three weekly sessions of exposure treatment, with subjective and psychophysiological indices of fear recorded throughout. Subjective, behavioral, and psychophysiological dependent measures were evaluated by an independent assessor at pre-treatment (PRE), post-treatment (POST), and two-week follow-up (2WFU). Results: Both the BC Group and RV Group exhibited decreases in subjective fear from PRE to POST and 2WFU, with no significant differences between groups. Partialing group, greater variability in subjective fear during exposure predicted lower subjective fear at 2WFU. Limitations: Despite significant findings for subjective fear, behavioral and psychophysiological findings were limited. Follow-up studies should investigate questions regarding traditional exposure within a clinical group. Conclusions: These results support the notion that traditional exposure is sufficient, but not necessary, to produce clinical improvement in contamination-related fears. There may be benefits to variability in fear level during exposure, and evaluation of emotion variability during exposure therapy for other anxiety disorders is warranted. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Treating trauma in psychosis with EMDR: A pilot studyDavid P G Van Den Berg | Mark Van Der Gaag
Volume 43, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 664-671
Background: Initial studies have shown that posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) can be effectivelytreated in patients with a psychotic disorder. These studies however used adapted treatment protocols, avoided direct exposure to trauma related stimuli or preceded treatment with stabilizing techniques making treatment considerably longer in duration. Method: An open trial in which adult subjects with a psychotic disorder and a comorbid PTSD (n = 27) received a maximum of six Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy sessions. PTSD symptoms, psychotic symptoms and additional symptoms were assessed at baseline and end-of-treatment. Results: The dropout rate was 18.5 percent (five subjects). Only five of the twenty-two completers (22.7%) still met criteria for PTSD after treatment. PTSD symptoms, auditory verbal hallucinations, delusions, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem all improved significantly. Paranoid ideation and feelings of hopelessness did not improve significantly. Treatment did not lead to symptom exacerbation in subjects. There were no adverse events, such as suicide attempts, self-mutilation, aggressive behavior or admission to a general or psychiatric hospital. Conclusions: This pilot study shows that a short EMDR therapy is effective and safe in the treatment of PTSD in subjects with a psychotic disorder. Treatment of PTSD has a positive effect on auditory verbal hallucinations, delusions, anxiety symptoms, depression symptoms, and self-esteem. EMDR can be applied to this group of patients without adapting the treatment protocol or delaying treatment by preceding it with stabilizing interventions. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
EMDR and mindfulness. Eye movements and attentional breathing tax working memory and reduce vividness and emotionality of aversive ideationMarcel A. Van Den Hout | Iris M. Engelhard | Daniel Beetsma | Christien Slofstra | Hellen Hornsveld | Jan Houtveen | Arne Leer
Volume 42, Issue 4, December 2011, Pages 423-431
Background and objectives: Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT) are effective in reducing the subjective impact of negative ideation. In both treatments, patients are encouraged to engage in a dual-task (eye movements (EM) in the case of EMDR and attentional breathing (AB) in the case of MBCT) while they experience negative thoughts or images. Working memory theory explains the effects of EM by suggesting that it taxes limited working memory resources, thus rendering the image less vivid and emotional. It was hypothesized that both AB and EM tax working memory and that both reduce vividness and emotionality of negative memories. Methods: Working memory taxation by EM and AB was assessed in healthy volunteers by slowing down of reaction times. In a later session, participants retrieved negative memories during recall only, recall + EM and recall + AB (study 1). Under improved conditions the study was replicated (study 2). Results: In both studies and to the same degree, attentional breathing and eye movements taxed working memory. Both interventions reduced emotionality of memory in study 1 but not in study 2 and reduced vividness in study 2 but not in study 1. Limitations: EMDR is more than EM and MBCT is more than AB. Memory effects were assessed by self reports. Conclusions: EMDR and MBCT may (partly) derive their beneficial effects from taxing working memory during recall of negative ideation. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Group person-based cognitive therapy for distressing voices: Pilot data from nine groupsLaura Dannahy | Mark Hayward | Clara Strauss | Wendy Turton | Emma Harding | Paul Chadwick
Volume 42, Issue 1, March 2011, Pages 111-116
The present study examines the impact of group Person-Based Cognitive Therapy (PBCT) for distressing voices within an uncontrolled evaluation. In particular it utilizes a framework of acceptance of voices and self to enhance well-being and reduce distress and perceived voice-control. Sixty-two participants entered one of nine PBCT groups conducted over 8-12 sessions. Fifty participants completed therapy. Measures of well-being, distress, control and relating characteristics were completed pre- and post-therapy and at brief follow-up. Data were subjected to an intention-to-treat analysis. The groups achieved significant benefits in terms of well-being, distress, control and dependence upon the voice. The present study is the first to report significant improvement in both distress and control. Consequently, Group PBCT for distressing voices may prove a useful addition to existing psychological interventions and is worthy of further investigation. The findings are discussed in relation to clinical implications and limitations. © 2010 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
A meta-analysis of the contribution of eye movements in processing emotional memoriesChristopher William Lee | Pim Cuijpers
Volume 44, Issue 2, January 2013, Pages 231-239
Background and objectives: Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing (EMDR) is now considered evidence based practice in the treatment of trauma symptoms. Yet in a previous meta-analysis, no significant effect was found for the eye movement component. However methodological issues with this study may have resulted in a type II error. The aim of this meta-analysis was to examine current published studies to test whether eye movements significantly affect the processing of distressing memories. Method: A systematic review of the literature revealed two groups of studies. The first group comprised 15 clinical trials and compared the effects of EMDR therapy with eye movements to those of EMDR without the eye movements. The second group comprised 11 laboratory trials that investigated the effects of eye movements while thinking of a distressing memory versus the same procedure without the eye movements in a non-therapy context. The total number of participants was 849. Results: The effect size for the additive effect of eye movements in EMDR treatment studies was moderate and significant (Cohen's d = 0.41). For the second group of laboratory studies the effect size was large and significant (d = 0.74). The strongest effect size difference was for vividness measures in the non-therapy studies (d = 0.91). The data indicated that treatment fidelity acted as a moderator variable on the effect of eye movements in the therapy studies. Conclusions: Results were discussed in terms of current theories that suggest the processes involved in EMDR are different from other exposure based therapies. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Developing an implicit measure of disgust propensity and disgust sensitivity: Examining the role of implicit disgust propensity and sensitivity in obsessive-compulsive tendenciesEmma Nicholson | Dermot Barnes-Holmes
Volume 43, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 922-930
Background and objectives: There is increasing evidence that disgust responding occurs at both a primary and secondary level in the form of disgust propensity and disgust sensitivity. The unique contributions of anxiety and disgust need to be established if disgust is to be implicated in the etiology of anxiety disorders such as obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). The primary objective of the current study was to develop two separate implicit measures of disgust propensity and sensitivity and to explicate the role of implicit disgust propensity and sensitivity in avoidance behavior and OC tendencies. Methods: The current study (N = 33 undergraduate students) utilized a measure of implicit cognition, the Implicit Relational Assessment Procedure (IRAP), to independently analyze disgust propensity and disgust sensitivity. In addition, a series of behavioral approach tasks (BAT) and questionnaires measuring general disgust, obsessive-compulsive (OC) tendencies and general psychopathology were implemented to validate the implicit measures. Results: Disgust sensitivity predicted avoidance behavior on the BATs independent of disgust propensity and anxiety, while disgust propensity did not. Both disgust propensity and sensitivity predicted self-reported OC tendencies and individually predicted obsessing and washing concerns, respectively. Limitations: Our findings are based on a non-clinical student sample and further research is required for generalization to OCD. Conclusions: The implicit measures appeared to be measuring two separate constructs and had differential relationships with behavior and OC tendencies. Overall, the results support current theories relating to pathological disgust and OCD. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Psychotic-like cognitive biases in borderline personality disorderSteffen Moritz | Lisa Schilling | Katja Wingenfeld | Ulf Köther | Charlotte Wittekind | Kirsten Terfehr | Carsten Spitzer
Volume 42, Issue 3, September 2011, Pages 349-354
Whereas a large body of research has linked borderline personality disorder (BPD) with affective rather than psychotic disorders, BPD patients frequently display psychotic and psychosis-prone symptoms, respectively. The present study investigated whether cognitive biases implicated in the pathogenesis of psychotic symptoms, especially delusions, are also evident in BPD. A total of 20 patients diagnosed with BPD and 20 healthy controls were administered tasks measuring neuropsychological deficits (psychomotor speed, executive functioning) and cognitive biases (e.g., one-sided reasoning, jumping to conclusions, problems with intentionalizing). Whereas BPD patients performed similar to controls on standard neuropsychological tests, they showed markedly increased scores on four out of five subscales of the Cognitive Biases Questionnaire for Psychosis (CBQp) and displayed a one-sided attributional style on the revised Internal, Personal and Situational Attributions Questionnaire (IPSAQ-R) with a marked tendency to attribute events to themselves. The study awaits replication with larger samples, but we tentatively suggest that the investigation of psychosis-related cognitive biases may prove useful for the understanding and treatment of BPD. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Is the association between various emotion-regulation skills and mental health mediated by the ability to modify emotions? Results from two cross-sectional studiesMatthias Berking | Christine Poppe | Maike Luhmann | Peggilee Wupperman | Verena Jaggi | Erich Seifritz
Volume 43, Issue 3, September 2012, Pages 931-937
Background and objectives: In order to clarify mechanisms underlying the association between emotion regulation and psychopathology, we tested whether the ability to modify negative emotions mediates the associations of other emotion-regulation skills with psychopathological symptoms in two studies. Methods: The first study included 151 college students; the second included 121 psychiatric inpatients. Bootstrapping-enhanced mediation analyses were utilized to assess associations between self-reports of emotion-regulation skills and psychopathology, as well as potential mediation effects. Results: In both samples, the ability to modify emotions completely mediated the association between symptoms and skills for most skills, but not for the skill of accepting/tolerating negative emotions. Limitations: Major limitations include the use of a cross-sectional design as well as exclusive use of self-report data. Conclusions: The ability to modify negative emotions may be the common pathway by which many emotion-regulation skills exert their influence on mental health; however, the skill of accepting/tolerating negative emotions may be beneficial to mental health regardless of whether or not it facilitates modification of emotions. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd.

Immediate antecedents of marijuana use: An analysis from ecological momentary assessmentJulia D. Buckner | Ross D. Crosby | Jose Silgado | Stephen A. Wonderlich | Norman B. Schmidt
Volume 43, Issue 1, March 2012, Pages 647-655
Background and objectives: Marijuana remains the most commonly used illicit substance. Marijuana craving, anxiety, and peer marijuana use are thought to play important roles in the etiology and maintenance of marijuana use. The present study aimed to identify patterns between marijuana use and these affective and situational risk factors in the natural environment. Methods: The sample consisted of 49 current marijuana users (38.8% female), 63.2% of whom evinced a current cannabis use disorder. Ecological momentary assessment was used to collect multiple daily ratings of marijuana craving, state anxiety, and peer marijuana use over two weeks. Mixed effects linear models were used to examine within- and between-day antecedents, correlates, and consequences of marijuana use. Results: Between-day analyses indicated that marijuana use days were associated with higher marijuana craving but lower state anxiety. Within-day analyses confirmed that marijuana craving was higher prior to marijuana use and lower following use. Anxiety was related to marijuana craving. Although anxiety was somewhat higher prior to marijuana use, it did not decrease significantly following use. The vast majority of marijuana use occurred when others were also using marijuana. Limitations: The sample was comprised of college students, a group at particular risk for marijuana use and use-related problems. Future work is necessary to determine whether results generalize to other populations. Conclusions: These data support the contention that marijuana craving, anxiety, and peer use play important roles in the maintenance of marijuana use. © 2011 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
Involuntary and voluntary autobiographical memory specificity as a function of depressionL. A. Watson | D. Berntsen | W. Kuyken | E. R. Watkins
Volume 44, Issue 1, March 2013, Pages 7-13
Background and objectives: This study tests the hypothesis derived from the CaR-FA-X model (Capture and Rumination, Functional Avoidance and Executive Function model, Williams et al.; 2007), that depressed individuals will be less specific during voluntary than involuntary autobiographical memory retrieval and looks at the relative contributions of rumination, avoidance and executive function to memory specificity. Methods: Twenty depressed and twenty never depressed individuals completed a memory diary, recording 10 involuntary and 10 voluntary autobiographical memories. Psychiatric status (assessed with the Structured Clinical Interview for DSM-IV, SCID-1), psychopathology, rumination, avoidance and executive function were assessed prior to completion of the memory diary. Results: Both groups were more specific during involuntary than voluntary memory retrieval. No overall group differences were identified. However, when non-remitted depressed participants were compared to partially remitted and never depressed participants the expected interaction was identified; non-remitted depressed individuals were less specific during voluntary, but not during involuntary recall. Consistent with theory, negative correlations between memory specificity, rumination and avoidance were also present. Limitations: The study presents an important yet preliminary finding which warrants further replication with a larger sample size. Conclusions: The findings provide support for a number of models of autobiographical memory retrieval in particular the CaR-FA-X model of memory specificity. © 2012 Elsevier Ltd.

Grass Lake wrestling team won its home wrestling Invitational, as state runner up Chad Decker (145) earned his 146th career win for the school record.
The Warriors defeated Reading (59-24), Chelsea (41-21), Clinton (44-34), Blissfield (56-18) and Stockbridge (56-5).
Decker (19-1) was 4-1 on the day, falling to state runner up Steve Bleise from Chelsea 5-3 in overtime, while Theresa Rankin (112), Robbie Grysko (119), Garret McEllis (135) and Seth Radabauth (140) were undefeated.
"Theresa only wrestled one girl today," Grass Lake coach Tony VanLoon said. "She has been doing really well against the guys. She isn't afraid of any boy. She was throwing some guys around today."
Reading was 4-1, Clinton finished 3-2 and Chelsea was 2-3.
"The kids there wrestled well," Chelsea coach Adam French said, "but it was the holidays and we've got sickness going through the team. We had four guys out of the lineup and had to give up a lot of points."
Grass Lake competes at New Lothrop on Saturday.
"It's one of the tougher Tourneys in the state," VanLoon said. "My guys are really looking forward to the competition."

Which of these popular white-wine varieties is more widely planted: pinot gris or chardonnay? The New Zealand Winegrowers Vineyard Register Report 2012, released recently, contains some unexpected results.
If you answered chardonnay, take a bow. Despite the climb to fashion of pinot gris over the past decade, New Zealand still produces more chardonnay, which covers over 9% of the national vineyard, than pinot gris (6.9%).
The new survey is "the most accurate information on New Zealand vineyards to have been reported in the last decade", according to NZ Winegrowers. After a poor response to the 2011 survey, the organisation cracked the whip, making registration mandatory for all growers
who wished to participate in NZ Winegrowers' events and its Sustainable Winegrowing programme.
The survey reveals that New Zealand's 1841 vineyards – which supply grapes to more than 700 wine producers – covered 34,269ha in 2012. The producing area will rise by just 683ha between 2012 and 2015, but new plantings are planned. Confidence is returning to the industry after the glut of 2008-11; vineyard expansion is under way.
Two regions dominate. A whopping 66% of the national vineyard area is clustered in Marlborough, far ahead of Hawke's Bay (14%). Otago (5%) also enjoys a podium finish, snatching third place from Gisborne (where a quarter of the vines have been uprooted since 2009).
Canterbury's vineyard area has also plummeted since 2009 – at least according to the statistics. A bold claim that Waipara, in North Canterbury, is the country's fastest-growing wine region is now revealed to have been based on an "unquantifiable error in the data".
So, what's hot, in terms of varieties? Sauvignon blanc rules, with 58% of the national vineyard, followed by pinot noir (15%), chardonnay, pinot gris and merlot. Riesling, syrah, gewürztraminer, cabernet sauvignon and viognier also rank in the top 10, but together account for barely 5%.
Gruner veltliner, an internationally voguish variety from Austria, now arousing interest here, covers just 31ha. Remember muller-thurgau? From over 1800ha in the early 1980s, this once hugely popular grape is down to 2ha and on the brink of extinction.
Dog Point Marlborough Sauvignon Blanc 2012
Enticingly scented, with strikingly intense, ripe fruit flavours and a crisp, dry, lasting finish. Not cheap, but great value. $24.50 (5/5)

I hope we can get through today's comments without that spamming shoe-seller, (You know who you are.)
Jamarr Gaddis adds a touch of annoyance to every adventure he is in. He is to football what Carl Peake is to golf.
If you flag the comment it is usually removed the same day. Now if only they could do something about the annoying screen saver pop ups!
The popups are easy. I've got a popup blocker app on Firefox. Highly recommended!
(No, no, not a spam post, honest, really!)
Here we go again with that drilling stuff. Honestly is that phrase from the 50's? Oooops forgot, Gil is trapped in the 50's. Where are the babes and milfs… I mean Mimi of course is she coaching the cheerleaders?
Sounds reasonable to me that Mimi is coaching skirts and sticks, field hockey. Could this Cody Exner be the glue the Mudlarks need to be successful? Nah, a couple of losses and it's "Buzz" beer time.
Exner going all "Dog the Bounty Hunter" on the Ghost.
I wonder what the giant M on everyone's shirt means?
P2: Exner = a young Ronald Reagan? Actually, not even that young. No wonder he was able to persuade the Ghost to get ready.
Another week passes by without any word on the Thorp kids. What comes after Amber Alert?
The M is looking more like the Batman emblem. Gil & Mimi likely disowned the kids because they wanted to play soccer.
Does this make Exner a Ghostbuster?
Hey, who shrank Gil? In panel#1 he and the player are standing under a bench!
The M stands for Mimi, the team's favorite MILF.
BooRajley, Back in the 40's and 50's they played six man football in rural Missouri. Maybe Milford is going to that this year. There are not that many students there anymore. I feel like I know all of them.
If Neil R. had any stones, he would reintoroduce the 2 Thorp children - Keri & Jamie (now in their 20's) as perhaps student teachers or janitors within MILFord HS, That done, we could have some more hot babes to compliment Mimi and also feed the plotlines for years to come!
Trivia… what is/was the name of the Thorps dog? Dr. Pearl Congratulations Jane & Tom!!!!
rdigenan – When I was a youngster, we often played with six or less, in pick up games. No gear either, who knew back then that concussions we bad for you?
