Maximising Data Use: Mixed Qualitative Methods
Boulton-Lewis, Gillian M. & Wilss, Lynn A. (2007) Maximising Data Use: Mixed Qualitative Methods. In Mayring, Philipp, Huber, Guenter L., Gurtler, Leo, & Kiegelmann, Mechthild (Eds.) Mixed methodology in psychological research. Sense Publishers, Rotterdam, the Netherlands, pp. 15-23.
Mixed Methodology is a new star in the social science sky. More and more researchers are discontent with mono-method concepts for their research projects. They are trying new ways in combining or integrating different methods and methodological approaches. There are two debates in this field: the qualitative * quantitative controversy and the one-method * multi-method discourse. This book discusses those controversies and tries to give some reasons and examples for overcoming mono-method research in psychology. We think the discussion of methodological topics should not be divided from specific research projects. Only in the context of a concrete research question it makes sense to consider adequate research methods. So the volume presents examples of mixed methodologies from different fields in psychology and education, from psychiatry to organisational psychology, from learning studies to media analysis. The studies are grouped into four sections: combining qualitative methods, combining qualitative and quantitative methods, access to individual experience by mixed methods and deeper understanding of findings by mixing methods The book is adressed to all students, researchers and methodological interested people in social sciences and especially in psychology.

Female B-School Deans Bring Ethics to CampusAlison Damast
If an undergraduate business school requires students to take a stand-alone course in business ethics these days, chances are a female dean is at the helm.
That's the finding of a recent study published in the latest issue of the Academy of Management Learning and Education, which looked at 382 undergraduate business schools accredited by the Association to Advance Collegiate Schools of Business (AACSB) in the 2009-10 academic year. The study examined the factors that led to the school's decision to make business ethics a required course.
Matthew Rutherford, lead author of the study, hypothesized that women deans may be more likely than men to place an emphasis on ethics in the curriculum. His reasoning: Several studies that looked at gender differences indicated that female executives and students are more concerned about ethical issues and respond more ethically to moral or ethical business dilemmas than their male counterparts do.
Turns out his hunches were right: 35 percent of female deans in the study headed up a school requiring ethics, while only 24 percent of male deans did so.
The AACSB, one of the leading accreditation agencies for business schools, gives schools flexibility on how they incorporate ethics into the core curriculum. Programs can choose to offer a stand-alone business ethics course, or can integrate it into other classes in the core curriculum, such as marketing and finance. "They both are acceptable, but a required class in ethics might send a stronger message that it is really important," Rutherford says.
The report's findings on a dean's gender are encouraging for those who believe ethics needs to be given more weight in the business curriculum, given that a growing number of schools are hiring women deans, says Rutherford, associate professor of strategic management at James Madison University's College of Business. In the past year, a number of women have been appointed as deans of prominent business schools, including Sarah Gardial at the University of Iowa's Tippie College of Business and Sri Zaheer at the University of Minnesota's Carlson School of Management. In the 2011-12 academic year, women made up about 18 percent of U.S. business school deans, up from 12 percent in 2002, according to the AACSB.
"Hopefully there will be a lot more female deans in the future," Rutherford says. "It could say good things about the future role of ethics in the business curriculum if we see a lot more women being named deans at business school."
In the study, there were 20 female deans at schools that required a business ethics course, but it's unclear from the results whether the school already required this class before hiring the dean, or if the new dean made the change after she arrived, Rutherford says.
Anna Rominger, dean of Indiana University Northwest's School of Business and Economics, a public university in Gary, Ind., was the trailblazer for ethics at her school. She first started teaching ethics in a class called Legal Environment of Business. After ascending to dean, Rominger gave the school's curriculum committee a charge to consider adding an ethics class to the core curriculum. The request was ultimately approved, Rominger said in an e-mail. Today, ethics is also incorporated in courses in other subject areas at the school. "Ethics is crucial," she said.
In other instances, private or religiously affiliated schools, which the study found were more likely than public universities to require a class on business ethics, may also be more inclined to hire female deans. Fordham University's Gabelli School of Business, a private Jesuit school in New York City, first made undergraduate business students take a course in business ethics in the 1990s, when the school's first female dean, Sharon Smith, was at the helm. After Smith left, the school hired Donna Rapaccioli, who has continued Fordham's emphasis on ethics. In addition to specific courses, corporate whistle-blowers and convicted white-collar felons are frequently invited to speak on campus. "It helps raise our students' awareness around ethics," Rapaccioli said in an e-mail.
Loyola University Maryland, a Jesuit institution in Baltimore, brought on Karyl Leggio in 2008 to lead the Sellinger School of Business and Management. The B-school required students to take ethics courses before Leggio became dean, but she says the school has placed an increased emphasis on its ethics mission since she arrived.
"Economies around the world are still rebuilding, and in some cases desperately trying to hang on, after one of the most prolific collapses in generations," Leggio said in an e-mail. "It's not enough to educate students about how to prevent a similar catastrophe in the future. Students must also understand the far-reaching implications of disastrous business practices that feed systemic risk, and how people's lives—not just profits—can be swallowed when business leaders lack discernment in decision-making."

"In 2002, we were sitting there at No. 2 and Julius Peppers was on the board and there was a quarterback on the board (Joey Harrington) and several other good players and we didn't get a phone call," general manager Marty Hurney said. "I think in the past it has been difficult to trade the top pick, so we'll just see.
"I think the tact that you take is you always keep an open mind on everything and you never rule anything out and you proceed with a lot of different scenarios. Then when it comes time, you hope you choose the right one."
The rookie salary cap and exactly what happens with the collective bargaining agreement could impact how many inquiries the Panthers get from other teams.
As for Luck's decision, Hurney said the Panthers never approached it as a sure thing when he stayed at Stanford.
"I don't know whether surprise is the right word," Hurney said of Luck staying in school. "I can't say that. It was a decision that was made. When you do what we do, you never assume anything. Looking into the future and assuming something is going to happen isn't what we do.
"The way we approach it is, until he declared one way or another it wasn't anything that was done. When he declared he was going to stay in school, we knew it was one less option we would have."
Jimmy Clausen went 1-9 as the team's starter last year with nine interceptions and only three touchdown passes.
But make no doubt about it, the Panthers would have drafted Luck, even though they took Clausen in the second round last year.
As of right now, Hurney said there are about five to eight players the Panthers would consider with the No. 1 pick, although he said that list will narrow as the evaluation process proceeds.
Among those expected to garner consideration are defensive tackle Nick Fairley and quarterback Cam Newton from Auburn, wide receiver A.J. Green from Georgia, cornerback Patrick Peterson from LSU and defensive end Da'Quan Bowers from Clemson.

"That's the nature of this business," general manager Marty Hurney said. "There's that old saying that winning cures everything, and all that means is when you win, everybody looks at the good decisions. And when you lose, people tend to look at the mistakes and that is just the nature of what we do.
"When we're 2-14, people are going to look at the misses. We do feel like we have a very good core of young players, most of whom we've assembled through the draft. We've drafted to our philosophy and the makeup of our football team and I think we've got a large number of players who will help us down the road. But saying that doesn't mean anything. You have to win football games to prove that. Words don't mean anything. Wins do. I understand that."
--The Panthers have the first pick in every round except the second, which they traded away last year for the rights to draft Appalachian State's Armanti Edwards. Edwards, of course, barely saw the field last year after falling out of favor with coach John Fox.
But Hurney is confident that with a new regime Edwards will get another shot and be a contributor.
"The things that we saw to lead us to draft Armanti where we did and to do what we did to get him are the same things we saw as the season progressed," Hurney said. "He's somebody with very good physical skills and has good hands. He has good speed and good quickness and is an explosive player, especially with the ball in his hands. What we learned this year is he's very smart.
"He knew all three receiver positions. Hopefully that can translate into him being a contributor. But it's all going to take place on the field. It's impossible to say who is going to get on the field as far as any position goes. You hope you have a new coaching staff out there and the players will determine themselves who plays and for how much."
--Arizona kicker Jay Feely prompted a bit of an uproar with his appearance on ESPN 1050's "The Michael Kay Show," when the NFLPA player rep said Panthers owner Jerry Richardson was lashing out at players during a meeting between owners and players.
"When you bring in emotion, then you get in the way of logic," Feely said. "When Jerry Richardson, the owner of the Carolina Panthers, is their lead negotiator for the owners, and he's going to criticize Peyton Manning and Drew Brees and their intelligence in our meeting on Saturday. And sit there and say dismissively of Peyton Manning, 'Do I need to help you read a revenue chart son, do I need to help break that down for you, because I don't know if you understand how to read that.'
"That doesn't go anywhere in trying to help us get a deal done."
QUOTE TO NOTE: "I think our philosophy is to build through the draft and complement through free agency. I think you keep with that philosophy. But with that said you never stay hard and fast with anything. If there is a right fit that comes up and someone you think will help your football team then I think you do it." -- GM Marty Hurney.
It's possible the Panthers might use the franchise tag on running back DeAngelo Williams or defensive end Charles Johnson. They have until Feb. 24 to do so.
"It's a possibility," general manager Marty Hurney said. "It is something we will have to decide. But you have to realize our coaching staff is probably going to be together for the first time this week, so we'll start hashing through things. There are some options there. There are some ideas about how to use it if we do use it all. But I can tell you there hasn't been a final decision yet."
The team could also use the transition tag, although league sources said it would have to be on someone with at least six years experience.
For those hoping the Panthers break the bank in free agency and go after a host of high-priced free agents, you need to first study this team's history and remember that has never been Hurney's preference.
That said, he's always been one to keep his options open.
Once the new CBA is in place, the Panthers plan to work toward re-signing five players whose contracts are set to expire: running back DeAngelo Williams, center Ryan Kalil, defensive end Charles Johnson and linebackers Thomas Davis and James Anderson.
Williams' contract could be the trickiest as the Panthers know it will take big money to re-sign him and that they have other solid backs waiting in the wings in Jonathan Stewart and Mike Goodson.
Williams is a candidate for the franchise tag, as are Johnson and Kalil.
The Panthers are confident they will re-sign Johnson, Kalil and Davis, but the jury is out on Williams and Anderson.
Cornerback Richard Marshall told reporters late in the season the Panthers don't want him back and he plans to hit the free-agent market.
The Panthers have a decision to make on quarterback Matt Moore, whose contract is also up. In all likelihood the Panthers are going to bring in a veteran to compete for the starting job so Moore could be out of luck, even though he's said he wants to return.
1. Quarterback: Even general manager Marty Hurney admits finding stability at the quarterback position is the team's most pressing need. Jimmy Clausen was 1-9 as a starter last season and had just three touchdown passes in those games. The Panthers planned to take Andrew Luck of Stanford with the No. 1 pick in the draft, but he decided to stay in school. Auburn's Cam Newton is a possibility for the Panthers, but might be a stretch at No. 1 given his raw skills. He's more of an option if the team were to trade down. Look for the Panthers to solidify this position either in the free-agent market or via trade.
2. Defensive tackle: The Panthers finished up with Derek Landri and Nick Hayden as their starting defensive tackles last season and former defensive line coach Brian Baker admitted the team desperately needs to upgrade here. Auburn's Nick Fairley seems to be the likely pick for the Panthers at No. 1 if everything checks out.
3. Tight end: In switching to an offense similar to that of the San Diego Chargers, the Panthers have made it pretty clear they need to upgrade at tight end. The Chargers have Antonio Gates, while the Panthers have Dante Rosario, Jeff King and Gary Barnidge. Each of those three have skills, but the Panthers want a guy who can do it all. Look for them to find that guy in free agency or via trade.
4. Cornerback: The Panthers could lose Richard Marshall in free agency - he has said the team informed his agent he won't be asked to come back next year - which means cornerback is a major issue. Marshall started last year alongside Chris Gamble before Gamble was benched for walking out of a team meeting. Captain Munnerlyn is a solid nickel back but not someone you want to count on as an every-down starter. LSU's Patrick Peterson is an option at No. 1, but the Panthers may look for veteran help here.
5. Right guard: The Panthers took a step back last season on the line largely because they couldn't find a suitable right guard. The injury to Jeff Otah forced Geoff Schwartz to move to right tackle and forced Mackenzy Bernadeau to start. Eventually Bernadeau was benched and Schwartz moved inside to guard and Garry Williams started at right tackle. If Otah can come back healthy maybe Schwartz can be the regular starter, but it wouldn't hurt for the Panthers to find a mid-level guard in free agency on the cheap.
MEDICAL WATCH: No updates.
Who should the Panthers pick with the No. 1 pick? Discuss in the message boards.

I am eating a diet low in salicylates. Unfortunately, this is not a diet that incorporates many fruits and vegetables. I felt like I was doing a good job eating lots of fruits and vegetables before this, but now, I have been told to limit the number of foods in my diet that contain salicylates. I haven't found a websight that lists food products and their salicylate ratings. I look at my groceries and all of the fruits and vegetables are light green or white. I have had swelling in my hands and feet for 5 months now, and nothing seems to help to reduce it. I'm trying this diet to see if it can help relieve the swelling.

I have been consuming about three 10 oz. bottles of water with concentrated tart cherry juice added. The swelling in my ankles and feet have gone down quite a bit. I actually have ankles! I hope it is from the cherry juice.

Canola oil is GMO and is packed with Omega 6 (not Omega 3), isn't it?

With everyone having some kind of -itis and chronic pain that they figure just won't go away, inflammation is the best kept secret in terms of ailments that bring us down and affect our lives negatively. Although flax seeds are a healthy plant-based source of essential oils, chia seeds, especially a high-quality blend like Mila, have a very high amount of Omega-3s, as well as fibre, protein, antioxidants and phytonutrients that improve health, reduce inflammation, help detoxify and protect your body from damage from free radicals and oxidization. Chia is also recognized as a food in the U.S., Australia, recently Canada and soon in the U.K., whereas I don't believe flax is. Mila is what I've been using to keep my inflammation at bay and it's working like a charm.

I thought that soy, as a legume, was an inflammatory food.
I've kept inflammation at bay by avoiding grains, legumes and dairy and following an ancestral/paleo lifestyle.

My chest of drawers for socks, underwear, and tees. It's called Harlequin. Also from Pier One, purchased when I worked there in Memphis so I've had it at least 11 years if not more. I have always liked its sleek look, being tall and slender. I have a matching mirror and half-moon hall table in the basement. It's in great shape, with no scratches, considering how many times it's been moved around.

Inquiry ordered into firm's Iraq deal
Page Tools
The Prime Minister, John Howard, has ordered an independent inquiry into the conduct of the Australian wheat exporter implicated in the Iraqi oil-for-food scandal to find out whether it breached any Australian laws.
A United Nations inquiry, headed by a former US Federal Reserve Board chairman, Paul Volcker, last week found that AWB paid $US221 million ($294 million) to a Jordanian trucking company, Alia, which was acting as a front for the Saddam Hussein regime.
Payments made by AWB, formerly the Australian Wheat Board, to Alia were channelled to the regime, and accounted for 14 per cent of illicit payments made in connection with the humanitarian program.
The Volcker report said there was no evidence to suggest AWB knew the real identity of Alia, and Mr Howard yesterday continued to defend the Australian exporter, saying his knowledge suggested that those involved were people "of complete integrity".
But he told Parliament, pre-empting a round of questioning from Labor on the matter, that "given the seriousness of the issue, I believe there should be an independent inquiry into whether there was any breach of Australian law by those companies referred to in the Volcker report".
Mr Howard said he was taking advice on what form the inquiry should take, and that it should be "armed with appropriate powers".
"I have got no final advice on the options in relation to the inquiry, but when I announced it would be a fully independent inquiry I meant precisely that.
"This Government has nothing to hide on this issue - nothing to hide at all … We will see what time and investigation reveal."
Labor's foreign affairs spokesman, Kevin Rudd, said that unless the inquiry's terms of reference had the scope to investigate the Federal Government's own involvement in the facilitation of contracts between AWB and the Iraqi Grain Board, it would be rendered a "complete whitewash".
Last week AWB issued a statement saying it had "consistently maintained its position that it did not know, and could not know, what Alia did with the money AWB paid to it by way of transport fees". A spokesman for the company yesterday said it "will co-operate fully with the inquiry".
Labor has asked what knowledge Australian Government officials had of AWB transactions with Alia, given that the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade received contracts from the Australian company which it passed on to the UN.
In Canberra the department received signed contracts between AWB and the Iraqi grain board, which it then submitted to the Australian mission to the UN in New York. The mission in turn passed them on to the UN Office of Iraq program.
Mr Rudd asked Mr Downer whether he admitted that the Government had been given "multiple opportunities to assure itself that its obligations under the UN Security Council resolution 661 preventing payments to Saddam Hussein's regime were in fact being honoured".
Mr Downer replied that AWB's use of Alia "was not specified in the oil-for-food contracts" and that his department did not approve the contracts. This was the responsibility of the UN, he said.
"As far as the Government is aware, the first knowledge of Alia and concerns relating to the AWB's use of the company was in the context of the Volcker inquiry," Mr Downer said.
Details of the inquiry should be announced later this week.

The Mystery of the Yellow Room HTML version
Chapter 22
The Incredible Body
I bent in great anxiety over the body of the reporter and had the joy to find that he was
deeply sleeping, the same unhealthy sleep that I had seen fall upon Frederic Larsan. He
had succumbed to the influence of the same drug that had been mixed with our food.
How was it then, that I, also, had not been overcome by it? I reflected that the drug must
have been put into our wine; because that would explain my condition. I never drink
when eating. Naturally inclined to obesity, I am restricted to a dry diet. I shook
Rouletabille, but could not succeed in waking him. This, no doubt, was the work of
Mademoiselle Stangerson.
She had certainly thought it necessary to guard herself against this young man as well as
her father. I recalled that the steward, in serving us, had recommended an excellent
Chablis which, no doubt, had come from the professor's table.
More-than a quarter of an hour passed. I resolved, under the pressing circumstances, to
resort to extreme measures. I threw a pitcher of cold water over Rouletabille's head. He
opened his eyes. I beat his face, and raised him up. I felt him stiffen in my arms and heard
him murmur: "Go on, go on; but don't make any noise." I pinched him and shook him
until he was able to stand up. We were saved!
"They sent me to sleep," he said. "Ah! I passed an awful quarter of an hour before giving
way. But it is over now. Don't leave me."
He had no sooner uttered those words than we were thrilled by a frightful cry that rang
through the chateau,--a veritable death cry.
"Malheur!" roared Rouletabille; "we shall be too late!"
He tried to rush to the door, but he was too dazed, and fell against the wall. I was already
in the gallery, revolver in hand, rushing like a madman towards Mademoiselle
Stangerson's room. The moment I arrived at the intersection of the "off-turning" gallery
and the "right" gallery, I saw a figure leaving her apartment, which, in a few strides had
reached the landing-place.
I was not master of myself. I fired. The report from the revolver made a deafening noise;
but the man continued his flight down the stairs. I ran behind him, shouting: "Stop!--stop!
or I will kill you!" As I rushed after him down the stairs, I came face to face with Arthur
Rance coming from the left wing of the chateau, yelling: "What is it? What is it?" We
arrived almost at the same time at the foot of the staircase. The window of the vestibule
was open. We distinctly saw the form of a man running away. Instinctively we fired our
revolvers in his direction. He was not more than ten paces in front of us; he staggered and
we thought he was going to fall. We had sprung out of the window, but the man dashed

Hyppybyker good luck with the veg, I am not finding it as easy as it looks.
Great photos Yvie.
Geoff I have checked my forecast no frost predicted here??
Wintersong I would also love some sculpted plants, I bought a box last year for £2 in a sale and in a couple of years I hope to get a nice shape
Oddity- a month ago I had a couple of leggy begonias, I was advised to hard prune and that has worked out well. I put the cuttings in water and they have produced roots plus they have produced leaves on the bottom of their stems, completely covered in water. I thought leaves needed air?
They look a bit like sweet williams, do you have any in your garden that may have self seeded?
Another very grey day, but not raining at the moment, I may need to move some more plants out of the house.
KG none of my lavenders have ever self seeded, the path must give it perfect conditions.
Geoff no to sprinkles, yes to chocolate curls.
Strawberry will be fine can you add a little clotted cream, thanks.
What flavour ice-cream?
Geoff if I cannot have a chicken can you label up your dahlias, thanks in advance.
If you are unavailable I will be taking a chicken as compensation.
I have contacted them, they said as I was introduced by a third party I need to make my initial complaint to them
Wintersong lovely photos.
Geoff only 2 of my tomato seeds have germinated, where do I get a refund?
Have a lovely time and we have moved to May

Paquette, a 26-year-old Knoxvillian, finished the foot race in 15 minutes, 48.9 seconds. Alan Horton, four years his senior, was runner-up with a time of 15:53.4. The only other runner close to them was 22-year-old Anthony Truehart, who was clocked at 16:09.3 for third place. The next closest runner was almost 50 seconds behind Truehart.

Big Creek had stopped participating in the lottery, but restarted seven months ago. Minton plays the lottery frequently.
"I'm not hooked on it or nothing, but I just play it," Minton said.
Last Thursday, former sheriff's deputy Daniel Ward was convicted on 10 counts of aggravated sexual battery.
Assistant District Attorney General Scarlet Ellis based the state's case on the victim's testimony and a confession Ward signed after an interview with the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation. The TBI interview became a point of contention for the defense, which wanted certain points removed from evidence. The TBI interview took two and a half hours. This was meant to confuse and scare Ward, according to defense attorney Wes Hatmaker.

Wearing the "GT Sport" moniker, the cars are similar to past "Sport Edition" models, these new cars feature plenty of equipment unique to the range. Inside, sport-oriented interiors feature silver stitching like the R32, silver trim rings around instruments and unique aluminum mesh interior trim. On the outside, the cars are most easily recognized by their new 17-inch "Evolo" wheels with 5-spoke design. Electronic content in the cars is high, including an alarm, multi-function display in instrument cluster (MFA), rain sensing windshield wipers, auto dimming mirrors, Climatronic automatic climate control and more. Equipment from the older "Sport Edition" models found its way into North American Jettas and Golfs fitted with Volkswagen of America's own sport package option. Whether or not any of the equipment from the new "GT Sport" models will show up in North American cars has yet to be confirmed.

The newly-promoted side came back late on to take a point off of Tim Howard and Everton.
Chris Wood came off the bench to equalize with four minutes left as Leicester City drew 2-2 with Everton on its Premier League return.
Playing the club's first top-flight match since 2004, Leicester left it late to deny Everton on Saturday, with Wood curling in from just inside the penalty area to delight the King Power Stadium crowd.
Everton, still reeling from the loss of Ross Barkley – who will miss six to eight weeks with a knee problem suffered on the eve of the campaign – started brightly and took the lead thanks to Aiden McGeady's stunning 20th-minute finish.
Record signing Leonardo Ulloa, who joined from Brighton and Hove Albion for a reported fee of 8 million pounds last month, provided a swift response within two minutes for Leicester, though.
With halftime looming, Everton took the lead again thanks to Steven Naismith's well-taken effort from inside the penalty area, but Wood's late strike ensured both sides would share the spoils.
MORE: Coach Ted Lasso returns! | Porter challenges Guardiola | WAGs
Wood, who replaced Ulloa with 12 minutes to play, showed great composure to calmly slot past Everton goalkeeper Tim Howard and give Leicester a lift ahead of a tricky trip to Chelsea next week.
Leicester boss Nigel Pearson kept faith with the majority of players that won the club promotion from the Championship last term, with Ulloa the only new face to start for the home side.
Everton began brightly, controlling possession in the early stages, and Gareth Barry was influential.
Leicester responded with a spell of pressure but its opponent broke the deadlock thanks to McGeady's outstanding goal, which came after Pearson's men failed to deal with a corner from the left and follow-ups from Leighton Baines and Sylvain Distin.
From there, the ball fell to McGeady, who took a touch and - despite goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel closing him down - curled an effort over three defenders, including Ritchie De Laet on the line, and into the top corner via the right post.
Leicester was not behind for long, though, as Ulloa marked his first start for the club by firing home from seven yards after Everton could not clear its lines from a corner.
McGeady and Naismith wasted chances to restore Everton's lead but the latter made amends in the final minute of the half, lashing a deflected cross from Baines into the back of the net to delight the travelling fans.
Neither side could match their first-half displays after the break, but substitute Jeffrey Schlupp did go close to equalizing for Leicester.
A neat ball from Riyad Mahrez released the Ghana international behind the Everton defense but he could only blast over.
Schlupp's miss was soon forgotten, though, as Wood pounced with his late leveler.

The only thing certain in our life is the uncertainty. We have been through many hapiness as well as sadness through out our times. As one wise says, don't be too happy when good befalls you, and don't be too sad when bad befalls you. Life itself is indeed a series of trials and test for each of human being.
This excellent article
Benefits and Adversity: Who Controls them? 7:188articulate the statement above.
Allah SWT says in Quran :
And surely We shall try you with something of fear and hunger, and loss of wealth and lives and crops; but give glad tidings to the patient, Who says, when afflicted with calamity: "To Allah We belong, and to Him is our return": They are those on whom (descend) Blessings from Allah, and Mercy, and they are the ones that receive guidance. (Al-Baqarah 2:155-157)
In another verse, Allah Almighty says:
He Who created Death and Life, that He may try which of you is best in deed: and He is the Exalted in Might, Oft-Forgiving. (Al-Mulk 67:2)
Whatever misfortune happens to you, is because of the things your hands have wrought, and for many (of them) He grants forgiveness. (Ash-Shura 42:30)
Read : http://10gramms.com/2008/01/18/suffering-and-evil-in-the-world/
There is one hadith in which the Prophet Muhammad (Salallahu Allaihi Wassalaam) tells us that the people who face the harshest trial are the prophets, then those next to them (in faith and devotion), and then the next. Everyone will be tried according to his level of faith; one who has strong faith will undergo a harsh trial and one who is of weak faith will receive a weak trial. And the affliction will encompass one until he becomes free of sins altogether.
Whatever befalls us, just keep in our mind what Allah Almighty says :
So, verily, with every difficulty, there is relief: (5) Verily with every difficulty there is relief. (Surah Al-Inshirah 94-6)
Hadith on how muslims suppose to react on a trial :
Abu Yahya Suhaib bin Sinan (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "How wonderful is the case of a believer; there is good for him in everything and this applies only to a believer. If prosperity attends him, he expresses gratitude to Allah and that is good for him; and if adversity befalls him, he endures it patiently and that is good for him" Muslim.
Below are Quran verses on Trials and Test to ponder :
Al-Hajj (The Pilgrimage)
22:11 And there is, too, among befalls him, he is satisfied with Him; but if a trial assails him, he turns away utterly, [9] losing [thereby both] this world and the life to come: [and] this, indeed, is a loss beyond compare! [10]
47:31 and most certainly We shall try you all, so that We might mark out [37] those of you who strive hard [in Our cause] and are patient in adversity: for We shall put to a test [the truth of] all your assertions. [38]

- Funeral Time: 2:00 PM
- Date of Birth: 4/21/29
- Date of Death: 1/24/13
- Funeral Location: St. John's Lutheran Church - Northfield
Thomas Gene Porter was born April 21, 1929, in Stillwater, Minnesota, to Lawton and Florence (Swanson) Porter. He was raised in Bayport, graduated from Stillwater High School in 1947, and in 1951, received his BA in Physical Education and minor in Biology from St. Olaf College. In 1952, he was drafted into the US Army during the Korean Conflict and served in Germany. Following his honorable discharge he returned to Minnesota and accepted a teaching position in Neenah, Wisconsin. On December 29, 1954, at First Lutheran Church in Albert Lea, Tom married his college sweetheart Gloria Emstad. After marriage they lived in Neenah until the Fall 0f 1958 when Tom accepted the position with St. Olaf as Assistant Professor of Physical Education for Men. During his tenure he served as a professor and as a coach of football, hockey, baseball and track & field. He retired in 1991.
Tom was an active member of St. John's Lutheran Church and a former member of the Northfield Rotary Club. He enjoyed sports, golf, fishing and gardening. He was a true "history buff" and authored "The Greatest Game – A History of St. Olaf College Football". His greatest pleasure came from spending time with his wife and family and spending time with friends and family at Greenstone Cottage on the North Shore.
During his lifetime, Tom created a legacy of honor, honesty, respect and integrity with the young men and women he taught and coached. The influence he had on others will long endure.
Survivors include his wife of 58 years, Gloria; 4 children: Mark and wife Jane of Key West, Florida, Todd and wife Jill of Chanhassen, Anne and husband Bob Tessien of St. Louis Park, Laura and husband Eric Engwall of Lakeville; 11 grandchildren: Jacob (Michelle), Nathan (Molly) and Samuel (fiancee Meagan) Porter, Scott (Heather), Rebecca and Margaret Porter, Sarah, Hannah and Emma Tessien, Carl and Anders Engwall; 2 great-grandchildren, Addison and Liesl; his brother-in-law, William (Ingrid) Emstad of Edina; other relatives and friends. He was preceded in death by his parents and sister Mary Gasser.
Tom passed away peacefully with his wife and children by his side on Thursday morning, January 24, 2013, at the Northfield Hospital, at the age of 83.
A celebration of Tom's life will be held at 2:00 PM, Tuesday, January 29, 2013, at St. John's Lutheran Church in Northfield with Revs. Steve Swanson & John Quam officiating. Honorary pall bearers are Jim Dimick, Bill Emstad, Bob Gelle, Dave Hauck, Tim Larsen, Don Sahling and Chuck Lunder (posthumously). Visitation will be 3-7PM Monday, January 28, 2013, in the Black & Gold Room of Buntrock Commons at St. Olaf College. Visitation will continue at the church on Tuesday one hour prior to the service.
Memorials are preferred to a scholarship fund to be established at St. Olaf College in Tom's name.
Arrangements are with the Benson & Langehough Funeral Home. www.northfieldfuneral.com

Tom taught me a lot about football but the most enduring lessens were about family. Rest in Peace, Tom
I am greatly honored that my life was touched by his. Great lessons in character and manhood. Loved me some coach Porter!
Tom was so kind to me when I interviewed him on my first broadcast of St.Olaf football and was a true friend.
You will be missed my friend but never forgotten.
Tom's witness and collegiality at St. Olaf endure. The college, in all aspects of its life, has been strengthened by Coach Porter's life and work. We remember him with gratitude.
Amazing man!
The Physical Education Department and coaching staff was filled with "legends" and truely great people. Blessed to have known and been influenced by all.
and…..Tom Porter
RIP Coach. You are aleady missed.
I have fond memories of my connections with Coach Porter, especially while officiating many college football games; he was
always a highly respected gentleman on and off the field.
Coach Porter was also our daughter, Pam DeCorsey's, advisor during
her years at St. Olaf. They also shared the same birthday, April 21.
God bless your family and the memorable blessings he brought to all whose lives he touched.
Was most fortunate to be coached and mentored by coach at Neenah HS and at
St Olaf. honest, caring, and humble at all times. "we were lucky…but its
nice to have a big fullback" was a typical, understated comment.
There is now a void….but the memories and lessons remain.
Dear Gloria and Family:
Please rest assured in the fact that Tom touched the lives of so many young men and — in turn — their families. He was a great leader of men, a great coach, and a wonderful example for all of us of what a man should be — competitive, kind, stern where necessary, and always acting with the highest integrity. May God bless you in your sorrow and your joy as you remember a great man. With sympathies and warmest regards. Bob
It makes me want to walk across the football field one last time, crisp morning air, sun-golded leaves on the trees, frosted green sparkling grass, with the Goat at stake–friends, family, coaches' wives, and just plain folks out for the afternoon game arriving in the stands just in time for
Porter's pre-game address: "Just bring the Goat home, boys!" …
and he did…
Gloria and the Porter family, my condolence at the 'home going' of my friend and coach. I am grateful the time we shared on 'the Hill'; as student/athlete and colleague/staff. It's been a lesson in life and faith.
He will be missed, but not forgotten.
Bill Green '77
I will hold you in my thoughts and prayers in the next days and weeks ahead. Unfortunately, I'm out of town for the next few days and will not be able to attend Tom's memorial service. I'm sure there will be many others there to help you celebrate his life and the many memories he provided over the years.
He will be greatly missed by many people on and off the hill. It was such an honor to work with him and you on all those events!
Peace to you,
Kathy Schuurman
A Coach like no other. Coach Porter, (some of us called you "Teeps"), I think of you often. Your low key, quiet leadership style is an approach I have emulated all of my life. I never remember Coach raising his voice (at least not toward me) or using foul language. Handing out programs at the Christmas Concert after retirement – go figure!! He got his point across in the most gentlemanly way possible (although he was occasionally heard to say, "one of you hit him low and the other one hit him high and nail him to the cross." Kristman, Krossman, Men of the Cross were we!!) You couldn't mention Tom's name without his 2 "buds" – Bob and Chuck. Tom was the leader of the three amigos- Tom Porter, Bob Gelle and Chuck Lunder- what a combination and a joy to play for!!
Gloria – Thank you. Near the end of late summer practice and prior to the beginning of the season, Gloria always brought to the team a trunk load of cool watermelons- appropriate for those hot summer drills!!
God bless you and your family.
Tom Mickelson, Football Co- Captain, 1965
I am so sad to hear of coach Porters passing. I wish I could see him one more time to thank him for all the kind words of advice and encouragement he offered me at times when I needed them. He was the finest person I've ever known. I was blessed to have had him as a coach and a friend. My condolences to Gloria,Mark,Todd,Anne and Laura.
Ole Gunderson '72
Tom and Gloria Porter were two very special people to our family. My father,Jerry Thompson, always spoke so highly of them and considered them very special friends. I know that you will all deeply miss him, but I am sure he and dad are having a wonderful renunion. Two great men.
I extend my condolences to the Family of Coach Porter! Coaches leave their legacy in the memories of those that they encourage to achieve thier goals. Coach Porter's legacy lives on in the stories, smiles and spirit of so many years of encourageing so many young men to make a positive contribution to thier world. RIP Coach!
Coach Porter was a wonderful role model for me. He showed me that a football player can and should be a gentleman, who plays with sportsmanship, and is humble enough to kneel before God and give thanks for all that he is. "I say there men, if you were smart enough to get into college, then you have a big enough vocabulary so that you don't need to swear", and "If you can't get excited to play football on a beautiful fall day like today, then there is something wrong with you". Coach, I may not have been around much since I graduated, but you have been with me ever since. Thank you. To the Porter family, I am so sorry for your loss, you are in our prayers.
Rob Warneke '90
Dear Gloria and family, Have some very fond memories of visiting you and Tom. As a little kid it was fun being with family at games in Northfield. My Dad(Jerry Thompson) enjoyed Tom's friendship over the years. Peace, Love Laughter as my Dad would say. Sincerely, Nancy Zavodny
I count myself among the lucky few who saw the role reversal of Coaches Porter and Dimmick between football and baseball seasons: From serious in their respective head coaching roles, to lighthearted and full of wit as an assistant coach. It is one of my fondest memories of St. Olaf athletics and I am thankful to have played for and gotten to know both sides of Coach Porter. Thoughts are with you Anne, Bob and the Porter family.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Porter family. Coach Porter was a quiet star who was just one of the really good guys. He taught me many life lessons in the way he listened to and respected his team of boys – who were all trying so hard to become men. He helped us in that journey, often by example. I remember with a smile – his infectious smile and dry sense of humor. It was an honor to play for him and I'll miss him.
The last time I visited with Tom was at Concordia college in Moorhead Mn. We went to Bethlehem Lutheran at Bayport. He was a special guy. Ginny
He was a great man who left his mark on all (hundreds/thousands?) of those lucky enough to have played for him. He was a true gentleman who motivated by a desire to make oneself better, not from fear. He always talked about how lucky we were to be able to be out on a beautiful fall day on the hill. He was right, but mainly because we got to play for him. Those who knew him will never forget him. Thank you coach.
He was a tremendous man who exemplified to us as young men what we should be as a man while existing on earth. He was tough on me (for good reasons) and held high expectations of what I should become. He believed in me and my drive with all he could muster pushing me to reach whatever I wanted to become and for that I will greatly miss him and cherish all the time and thought he provided me as a student and player.
I was just one of the many hundreds of examples of student athletes he shared his time and thoughts with about life.
When I would see him from a far or even close up his white hair would be surrounded with a glow illuminating his genuine witness for our great lord and his commitment to highest level of integrity I have ever experienced from one man.
He will be missed here but his existense is now amongst the greenest of pastures where I got to believe he is saying to himself, "What a grid-iron that could be".
Our thoughts are with the Porter Family,
With God he was triumphant if life,
The lessons I learned from Coach Porter have helped me all my life. I cannot express the gratitude I have for the four autumns I spent learning life and football from Coach Porter. I am so sad at his passing but so grateful that he was among all of us at St. Olaf for all these decades. Rest in Peace Coach.
Tim Smith, 1970
Gloria & Family, was very sad to hear of Tom's passing. Tom was a great neighbor and friend to many. I will never forget the times playing in the Porter's basement and having carmel apples on Halloween. You all are in my thoughts and prayers.
There are so many enduring memories of St. Olaf football and baseball and the coaches who made lasting impacts on our lives. It doesn't seem a day goes by where the influence of Tom Porter and his colleagues Jim Dimick and Dave Hauck isn't drawn upon in some manner.
We were the fortunate ones; to have found ourselves under their guidance.
I am forever grateful, Coach Porter, for your shining example of fire and grace. It lives on through all of us.
My thoughts and deepest sympathies to the Porter family.
Dan King, '83
Tom & Gloria were some of the first people we met when we moved to Northfield; we were sorry to see them leave the neighborhood several years ago. Thank you for your friendship. RIP, Tom.
I was fortunate enough to play for Tom during the 1969 and 1970 championship seasons. His leadership, motivation and example made those championships possible. More importantly, I have used what I learned from him for teaching moments with my kids and grandkids and still find it useful to use the same for learning moments when I need it. Tom, rest in peace.
I was so sorry to hear about the passing of Tom. I always enjoyed our football talk while cutting his hair. He will surely be missed….
Coach Porter was a man of integrity. He was respected by his players because of his dedication to the game and because of his concern for them as human beings. He will always be remembered by those he touched. I was fortunate to have learned from Coach Porter during the 1970 and 1971 Championship seasons in addition to having him as a professor of several coaching classes.
My thoughts and prayers are with the entire Porter family during this difficult time.
Bob Schumacher '72
My Dad, (Percy Johnson) loved his job with Coach Porter years ago–and had such respect for him…
sorry for your loss.
He worked with my grandfather(Jerry Thompson) at Neenah high school as his assistant coach. And eventually their teams played against each other. According to my dad (Steve Thompson), they used to go to Tom and Gloria's house for supper. I am sorry for your loss.

The next meeting of the Auburn Community Cafe is coming up this Sunday afternoon. Katie MacIntyre says there will be plenty of food for everyone who shows up.
They'll be meeting at the United Methodist Church in Auburn on Sunday at 4:00, and MacIntyre says the discussion will focus on kindness.
The cafes have been getting together once a month since November. Betsy DeGroff tells us the cafes were spawned from another group.
That group has been around for a little while.
It's free to attend. Betsy DeGroff and Katie MacIntyre were guests this morning on the Finger Lakes Morning News. Listen to the full interview by clicking here.
