Lock Haven Express (Newspaper) - October 13, 1890, Lock Haven, Pennsylvania enttii NINTH YEAH-NO. 192. LOCK HAVEN, PA.. MONDAY. OCTOBER 13, 1890. PRICE-TWO GENTS EVENING EXPRESS KINSLOK BROTHERS - . PUBLISHERS current comment. A movement has been stirted in New York to send Chauucey M. Depow to the BoD�te in plaoo of William M. Evatts. Occasionally the old soldiers die, ami the people thought that U would be a good thing to j>r->-vide a kecent burial for those who die indigent, even at the expense o/ the State. M'ovlS you halt for Governor a man teho would refltsu thetn a dc-cent burial t-Aujutant-Gknekal Hastings. Before the passage of the MoKiuley bill ire were told that measure would about wipe oat the great cigar industry at Key West. It is now said that the output of cigars in Florida will be doubled within a year. Tiiebb is nothing in the annals of war-fare braver than the act of a body of men, still dated by the shook of a great explosion, ooolly fighting a fire on the roof of the OuPont powder magazine, knowing all the time that if a spark should make its way inside they would be instantly -blown to pieces. When the editor of the Democrat insists npon there being but 700 present at the Republioan meeting it must be remembered tbat he retired early to the shades of the Court House and did not return to hear either Mr. Stewait, Graham or Warwick-Even up to close of meeting standing room was at a premium. Judge Stewart, of Baltimore, on Thursday rendered a decision tbat will be of interest to a good many people everywhere. - He decided tbat the giving away of orookery, glassware or any other article with puroha�e of tea and coffee was contrary to law, and that dealers who praotioe this method of advertising their business are amenable to a fine of not Icbs than fifty dollars. The very Billy yarn which the Demo crats have been spreading abort the retirement of Chairman Andrews from his place at the head of tbe Stata Committee and the substitution of ex-Chairman Cooper has been promptly squelched by Mr. Cooper's own statement. Chairman Andrews1 management of the campaign has been energetio and intelligent, and has given satisfaction to the party leaders. The more many of the Clinton county Democrats think of the way in which their oounty ticket was nominated, the less they like the methods adopted by the powers that be to name several of the candidates there on, Dissatisfaction is reported in all parts of the oounty and s large number of Democrats are bo disgusted that they will not go near the polls. The proper way to rebuke the Lock Haven Democratic ring is to vote for the Republioan candidates, all of whom are worthy of support. J. N. Welliver was ioroed out of the way for the Legislative nomination to make room for a favorite of tbe Lock Haven Democratic ring. Bold methons were adopted to bring about this result and it was only accomplished a few days before the convention met Mr Welliver's lead being so great tbat itwasvery difficult to overoome. The ring knew wbatstrings to pull, however, and one of the best men in the Democratic party in Clinton county was sacrificed. It was done so completely that bis name was not even presen ted to the convention, although it was no seoret tbat be bad more tbau enough delegates promised to secure his nomination. Captain James W. Fredericks is the Republioan oandidate for Assembly and the people can vote for him with the assurance that he will faithfully represent tbem at Harrisburg. Terrible Drowning; Accident. Philadelphia, Oct. 13.-A special to the Ledger from Einkora, New Jersey, says: Solomon Fletcher, John Fletcher, Angelo Fletcher, brothers, CheafuB Merry and Alonzo Cannon, were drowned this afternoon by the capsizing of a boat in which they were bringing large pilings from the Silver Lake ice house. The bodies of Angelo Fletcher and Merry were recovered. The aged mother of the Fletchers was so overoome on hearing the news tbat she fell to tbe floor faoturing her arm. Her condition is pronounced dangerous. New Steel Plants for Coatanllle. Coatesvllle is likely to have two steel plants in tbe near future and the business ooudition of affairs there Is of a very promising oharaotex. Nearly all the building lotB in the contre of tbe place have been purchased by parties who intend building upon them, and this is stimulating the prioa of lota on the borough limits aud in tbe suburb.

Minnie Boblnson tfomps From a Fifth Starr Window With Her Child In Her Arms-The Woman Crushed to Death But the Child Miraculously Escapes Injury. CmcAoo, Oct. 12.-By a fire which brake out in tbe Putnam European Hotel at Adams and LaSalle streets early this morning four lives were lost, and a score of persons had narrow escapes. The flro was caused by the explosion of a kerosene lamp which had been left burning in one of tbe hallways. Mrs. Minnie Robinson, who was sleeping in the front room on tho fifth lloor with her husband and baby, became orazed with fright, and rushing to a window leaped to the pavement with her infant in her arms. 8be was terribly crushed and lived but a short time, but miraculously the infaut escaped unhurt. By 2 o'clock tbe fire was under oontrol, and the firemen began a search of tbe house to see if any other casualties had occurred. In a room on the third floor Edward Peyton, a colored porter of the hotel, wsb found burned to a crisp. The search was continued and the firemen soon found in another room on the third floor tbe charred bodies of two other men, who had been caught in the trap and burned to death. Their names have not been learned. The names of those killed are: Mrs. Minnie Robinson, Tom Dowler, a barber, fl. K. Sams, formerly a Pinkerton attache, Edward Peyton, coloted porter. The total loss is about (63.000. The President at Indianapolis. iNDiAXAroLis, Ind., Oot. 12.-Tho President's trip from St. Louis last night was uneventful. The chief executive arose about an hour after tbe train roach- vestibule of "Hazelmere,,' about 7 o'clock Mr. and Mrs. R. S. MoKee and Baby MoKee put in au appearance and were warmly greeted. Beyond these and tbe reporters there was none to welcome tbe distinguished guest, this having been Mb earnest reqnest. The President occupied bis old pew at the FirBt Presbyterian Church, with Secretary Tracy and Mr. and Mrs, McKeo. At tbe conclusion of the sermon the holy communion was reoeived by the congregation, in whioh President Harrison participated. At tho conclusion of tbe services, the President stood for some time iu front efthechnrob, exchanging greeting with many old friends, who orowded about him to grasp his band and renew old acquaintanceship. After dinner tho President and Secretary Traoy reoeived a number of friends and then took a drive about the city. Otigin or the "Stovepipe." How few of us know that the stovepipe bat, which has come, to bo regarded as 'quite foreign, y'know," originated in the United States and was introduced into Europe by Benjamin Franklin. The old gentleman came to Paris in the Spring of 1790, wearing the simple attire of tho Quaker. A distinguishing feature of this was the hat, which has narrowed and heightened into tbe fashionable "plug'1 of to-day. It waalcw-orownod and broad-brimmed, and presented so quaint an aspect that tho Parisian dandies were disposed to make it the butt of their wit. Not so, however, tho rest. The leaders ol the French Revolution fancied that hat and they forthwith adopted it to bo their own. In three days' lime tbe Franklin hat was all the rage. And from that time-just 100 years ago-tbe tile haB grown in favor, although it is probuhlo that a machine more destructive to the bair and more useless for praotical purposes was never invented.

Chicaoo, Ojt. 12.-Saturday evening tho body of a woman was found in the lake at the foot of Feck Couit.

A week ago they bad their last spat and left the house, at No. 517 South Clark street together about midnight. Nothing more was heard or seen of them until their bodies wero found in the lake. Synopsis of TEoccanclo. Bocaaccio, a novelist and poet, is in*!ove with Fiaminctta, the adopted daughter of Lambertucoio, a grocer. Piotro, Prince of Palmero, comes to Florence to make the acquaintance of Bocaaccio and learu to write novels.

They seek his banishment or death, and iu order to avoid trouble he assumes all manner of dis- betrothed to Pletro. Boccaccio's suit Beems hopeless, when he bits upon the happy idea of sending a forged lBtter to tho Princo, purporting to come from his father, and ordering him to give up Fiam-metta. She givos her hand to Boooaooio and ail ends happily, as ho promises to write no more novels against the men of Flor ence. The above will be produced at the Opera House this evening by tho Marie Greenwood Opera Company of thirty-siv persons. II is Word of Honor. This is tho latest story written by E. Werner, on of the greatest German oon-temporary writers of fiction, and it fully sustains her well-deserved reputation. A youth of seventeen, brought up under the strict surveillance of a stern but otherwise devoted father, aud in whose veins runs the hot blood of a Roumanian mother, is suddenly confronted with tho p-oblem of choosing botweon a life of discipline and military Bervice with bis father, a soldier and officer, or a roving existence with a mother capricious and impulsive, who separated from her hUBband, leads a life of pleasure, without a serious thought.

A Popular Candidate - Dynamiting old Iron-Death or aa Old Resident-One of the Best-Tbe Tramp Nuiianee-A Nice Birthday Present-Judge McGrea's Condition. Last Friday evening at 7:30 o'clock the whistle of a locomotive, which was approaching from tbe west, was heard in Renovo, and the report was immediately circulated that tbe Delamater train was coming. The Newt says men left the stroet corners, the store boxeB, the curbstones, the billiard balsl, and tbo divers other places of amusement; business men dropped their work; clerks let fall their yard sticks and their measures, and all joined the laity in a grand race to tbe passenger station to see the distinguished and honored sou of Republicanism. More than two hundred people bad oollected by tbe time the "special" had reached the depot,and all were greatly disappointed when they learned that it was not the Delamater train. One of the Best. We quotad Saturday from the Altoona Tribune a very complimentary notice of the Marie Greenwood opera company that appears at the Opera House to-night. Tbe following notice ia takon from the Altoona limes of the same dace: "On account of the bad weather a rather slim audience greeted the Greenwood opera company, in Boccaccio, last evening. However those who did brave the elements were very wall repaid, as the presentation . was of the finest. Mamie Taylor's impersonation of Boccaccio called for thB highest praise, as was also deservedly given to Adolpb Mayer as Leonetto, and J. Leslie Apple as Pietro, while Fiam-etto was easily upheld by tho. only Marie Greenwood." Sir.

They also searched all the incoming mail trains. Tbe authorities evidently believe tbat Dillon and O'Brien have not yet sailed. Messrs. Doasy and Lane, members of Parliament, boarded the Umbria, causing intonse curiousity. Roeo Literary Notice. Miss Julia Magruder, a daughter of the late General John B. Magruder, of tbe Confederate army, who held tho "Peninsula" against MoClellan In the spring of 1862, begins in the New York Ledger of October 18 a Berial entitlod "Jephthah's Daughter." The story is an exquisite and artistie adaptation of the Biblical tale. A Nice Birthday Present. Mr. Wm. G. Drauoker was the recipient of a handsome birthday present Saturday from his wife and brother-in-law, Jacob Ratugeber. It consists of a silver water servioe, of the latest design and was purchased from the popular and reliable jeweler, X. B. Ricgler. It is needless to add that "Billy" is very proud of it. - At LargM Again. Word reached this city to-day that Wil-iam McCalmont, tbo demented young man who was wandering in the woods most of last week, has left his home again. Tbis time he eluded tho watohfulnesa of his parents aud other relatives by jumping from a second story window. Trees sbed their leaves about the time tbe girl who does not own a sealskin sheds tears.

At ff:30 he was still alive, but nnconsoious, and the family was gathered at bis bed-Bide awaiting the final change. a later REl'ORT. There has been little change in Justioe Miller's condition since early' morning. AU day tbe pbysioians and watchers bave been gathered around bis bedside mo-mentarially expecting dissolution, and it has only been owing to his wonderful vitality and reouperative powers that he has lived through tbe day. Tbe Justioe's respiratlou baa greatly increased, and his throat respirations, are rapidly filling with mucous,' whioh' will ultimately result in death. His physioians say tbat he has been dying all day, and tbe end is not far off. THE LATEST BULLETIN. Washington, Oot. 13.-At 1 o'olock tbis morning Justioe Miller was sinking rapidly, and bis breathing has become more difficult. It is hardly possible at times to tell whether be is dead or alive so feeble is his respiration. TALKS OF THE TARIFF. That goosebone is again telling coming cold winter. of a A boy, whose bead was full of amusements, asked a downtown grocer for a box of Carnoross grapes. It finally dawned on the grocer that be wanted Conoord grapes. When you oriticise the mistakes snd misses in a newspaper remember that it was made in a day. Many people hasten to be rich, with apparently little regard as to how they get their wealth. This class prosper only for a timo and then comes their downfall, and oh ! what an inglorious one it often 1b. A man with a generons and noble heart and nature, with a rough and uncouth exterior, is always mismeasuredbythe world about him. Hence tbe Importance of polishing the outside of the human life so tbat it will reflect the true nature. Name, Nation iteligloa. I There are plenty of people who caunot or do not, distinguish between the words Israelite, Hebrew and Jew. "Our broad national distinction," says tho Hebrew Journal, "gave us the name Israelite iu the time of our auoient greatness to which ail people may in tbe long future rise, and then we may again, together with Uod fearing people, adopt tbe name of Israelite.

Although many fragmentary artioles relating to Frances Slocum have been published in newspapers and m.varfinoH, nothing like a oou-secutivo Ui.-iioiy uf lici- life bus over been attempted, and the cominglwork promises to be a historical story of thrilling Interest aud should be iu the hands of every lover of the history of this country, eBpeclally the section near by this region. Mr. Mu-iririuess will no doubt find a roady sale for this, his latest work.-Williamsport lie publican. "Standing vases" have been introduced which promise to rival tbe�standing lamp in popularity. A Good Day For Trailo. Last Saturday was a lively day in the city and business was brisk. A number of merchants say they had tho best trade and largest sales ever made in one day.

From lUc Blrighamton Herald. It Is a trite saying, but one of the old truths which must be impressed upon each new generation,that time-waiting In youth is one of tbe mistakes whieb are beyond oorreotion.-New York World. That reminds us of something. Two years ago a gentlman in this city bought building lot for $550. He made a payment of 1100, then told his two boys, aged respectively twelve and fifteen years, that if they would meet tbe payments as they fell due until the lot was pais] for tbey might have it. The boys have sold daily and Sunday papers, attending eohool meantime, and tbe last payment of $50 baB just been made. They now intend to keep their eyes open and see what ean be done in the way of roal-estate speculation, Whether they lose their little property or make it the nucleus of a fortune remains to be Been, but the money certainly bas been more profitably spent than if it bad gone to the pool room. Tbe business in-stinot has been sharpened, a habit of. industry formod and it is safe to say that both will one day be heavy taxpayers. Dynamiting; Old Iron. Tbe shafting and other heavy pieces of iron in the old steam saw mill of Hopkins & Weymouth at Dunnsburg is being broken to pieces with dynamite. Tbe heavy reports made by tbo explosive ate distinctly huaid iu this city. The broken iron will be used at tbo Look Haven nail mill. Hardware Stolen, Tho hardware Btore of G. W. Proctor * Son, at Lewisburg, was entered by burglars last Friday night and over $100 worth of goods, principally poekot knives, razors and other oultery taken. Look out for tramps having tbat kind of goods in their possession. Humoring ft Stranger. From the London City Press. A stock broser who was on bis way to the olty observed that one of his fellow passengers iu the 'bus was closely regarding him, and after a time tbe man leaned over and asked: "Didn't I see you in Liverpool in 1879?"' The broker wasn't in Liverpool that j year, but, thinking to humor the stranger be replied in the affirmative, shivering wretcn" a uau uro*a um u.gut outside tbe Royal Hotel?" "I do."

"Ah, glad to hear it," And now I want you to take a sovereign in place of that half orown. I cannot feel easy until the debt is paid." The broker prrtested and objected, but finally, just to humor the man. be took the �5 note offered him, and returned tbe �4 ohange. The stranger soon left the 'bus and everything might have ended then and there if tbe broker, on reaching tbe office, hadn't ascertained that the "fiver" was a counterfeit, and that be was ��! out of pocket. The Hoprerae Court. WksmsoTON, Oot. 12.-The October term of tho United States Supreme Court will begin to-morrow morning. Tbe familiar face of the oldest member, Justiae Miller, will be missing. In the last four years or more there has never been a full bench, save for a very brief period last spring. The session to-morrow will be brief. A few preliminary motions will be received, unless the death of Justioe Miller, aa is generally expected, occurs before the court convenes, in which oaae an adjournment will be at once taken, out of respect to the memory of the Justioe. A dozen or more oases whioh had been ar-guod at the last term still remain to be decided, but no opinions will Joe handed down in any of tbem to-morrow, and it will probably be two weeks before tbe court announces any deoisiona. Terrible Death From Lockjaw. Plainfield, N. J., Oot. 12.-Patrick Kieby, bead gardener for George N. Burgess, of Central avenue, died in great agony to-night from lookjaw. On Thursday he fell thirty feet while trimming a tree, striking on his right shoulder. Dr. W. C. Boone pronounced the injury a compound fracture of the elbow. An operation was performed on Saturday which was prononnoed successful. Lockjaw set in, however, aud resulted in death. --- � --- Removing the Bridges. The high oaual bridge at J. G.

Milk in before or after? How long do you brew for? Do you actually prefer coffee? Here are some of the suggestions from our listeners.
You can follow this conversation by subscribing to the comment feed for this post.
Warm your tea pot. Heat the water to just below boil. Boiling water produces that oil slick floating on the top of your tea. Loose tea in a wire or cloth pouch, pour heated water through pouch and let steep 2 mins. Remove tea to prevent getting too strong. Serve with a smile.

Hi, just wondering if anyone's had experience with setting up Business Data Catalogs in MOSS. I was trying to add an application definition file but have no idea as to how to create one. I tried clicking on the help link within sharepoint but all the help sections for this topic was blank. Thanks!

I have been creating Application definitions for BDC. Its not easy though but not difficult too. It isnt suited for applications which are complex and require customization. In that case a custom web part would be a much better choice.
Refer to O12 SDK on how to create application definitions for BDC.
There are many blogs and tools on that. See

Measurement Uncertainty
Measurement uncertainty is an important topic for all measurement fields, and analytical measurement is no exception. No measurement result can be interpreted correctly without at least some knowledge of the associated uncertainty; either the user needs to know how large the uncertainty is so that they can make appropriate allowances, or they need assurance that the associated uncertainty is sufficiently small to neglect for their particular purpose. Establishing sufficient knowledge and control of measurement uncertainty and communicating that knowledge to the client when required are therefore among the responsibilities of every laboratory.
Laboratories accredited to ISO/IEC 17025 or related standards such as ISO 15189 will be familiar with this responsibility, as these standards require laboratories to identify the main contributions to uncertainty and to provide estimates of uncertainty where appropriate. For calibration laboratories and reference material producers, the requirements are more stringent; uncertainties need to be evaluated following current international guidelines and reported on calibration certificates.
Eurachem provides a range of resources to assist laboratories responsible for evaluating, using or reporting measurement uncertainty associated with analytical measurement results:
- The Eurachem Measurement Uncertainty and Traceability working group develops guidance and coordinates workshops on measurement uncertainty for analytical measurement.
- The Eurachem guide "Quantifying uncertainty in analytical measurement (QUAM:2012)", currently in its third edition, gives detailed guidance for the evaluation and expression of uncertainty in quantitative chemical analysis, based on the approach taken in the ISO "Guide to the Expression of Uncertainty in Measurement". The guide provides a range of approaches to uncertainty evaluation, including the use of method validation data as well as the detailed measurement model approach described in the ISO Guide. QUAM:2012 also gives details of essential statistical procedures (for example, the assessment of uncertainty from linear calibration), provides practical guidance such as cause-and effect analysis for identifying sources of uncerainty and a detailed description of uncertainty evaluation using spreadsheets, and includes detailed worked examples illustrating many common operations in uncertainty evaluation for chemical measurement.
- A further guide, "Use of uncertainty information in compliance assessment", gives additional detail on the use of uncertainty information when assessing compliance with specifications, including legal limits.
- The Eurachem working group on uncertainty arising from sampling has published a first edition of the guide "Measurement uncertainty arising from sampling: A guide to methods and approaches". This guide describes different methods for assessing uncertainties related to sampling, including a simple and general method based on replicated sampling.
- Three information leaflets provide summary information on measurement uncertainty. The "Information leaflet for lab customers concerning the quality of chemical analyses", developed by SP, provides a simple explanation of measurement uncertainty for laboratory customers. The principles of the compliance assessment guide above are summarised in the leaflet "Use of uncertainty information in compliance assessment". Finally, the sometimes difficult question of when (and when not) to divide a standard deviation by the square root of a number of observations, in order to obtain a standard uncertainty, is covered in the leaflet "Using repeated measurements to improve the standard uncertainty".

Cranberry Applesauce
Recipe by Chef Pooh #2
applesauce mixed with whole cranberries and cranberry sauce
Top Review by Sydney Mike
We love homemade applesauce, as well as homemade cranberry sauce, so I'm thinking this recipe was made for us! Well, whether it was or not, it does make for some absolutely wonderful sauce, & I made the whole batch using some of the frozen cranberries I had since the beginning of the year (I stash a LOT of 'em away for use all year 'round!) ~ Several neighbors & friends were gifted some of this sauce, but I still kept 3 jars of it for right here at home! The recipe is definitely a keeper! Many thanks for sharing it! [Made & reviewed for one of my adoptees in this fall's round of Pick A Chef]
See Discussion:1 Review
Ingredients Nutrition
- 1 (12 ounce) bag cranberries
- 2 (16 ounce) cans jellied cranberry sauce
- 3 lbs apples
- 4 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 lemon, zest of
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 cup water
Directions See How It's Made
- I use my apple peeler device that automatically peels,cores, and slices apples up. As I take them off the device, I put them in the bowl, splash lemon juice and fruit fresh to prevent browning.
- Using blender, I put some of the apples, jelly sauce, and some cranberries, with a little of the water. I end up using at least 1 cup of water. I keep extra water just in case. I put the blender on one of the highest settings and blend.
- Pour in into crockpot or dutch oven. I end up making several different batches, so one ends up in the crock pot, and the next one ends up in the dutch oven on the stove over medium high heat.
- Repeat till your ingredients are gone.
- Meanwhile wash jars, lids, and rims. Boil in water bath to sanitize.
- Pour hot applesauce in jars, put lid and rim on.
- Place in water bath for 25 minutes.
- Make sure jars have sealed. I tap the can tops and listen for the popping sounds.

Review North Carolina A&T State University
Well what can I say about A&T? If you're looking for acceptance and a family environment, then this is the right school. We have a variety of career choice students love. Despite the fact that the school is an hbcu, there is still much diversity and everybody is treated as an equal and will feel at home and welcomed right away. Academic awards as well as artistic talents are broadcasted as well. Many of the events in campus include talent shows and prizes are rewarded. We are so supportive and always show great Aggie pride! A major part of growing on campus is networking, and there are so many people that would be willing to help. All you have to do is ask. Personally I speak with counselors and veterans and disabilities to accompany all my needs. So if you need accommodations or special services there's no need to worry! We're all here to help. I would recommend A&T state with 5 stars overall because I have fallen inlove with this school.
Great school because they offer a variety of majors and both undergrad and grad students have the opportunity to do research. I huge plus is career fairs each semester that bring over 500 companies to campus. Students have a chance to interview either that evening or the next day with the companies they share their resume's with. Career Services offer plenty of workshops and job availability and exposure. Another plus is the option to take either face to face courses or online courses. Excellent student life includes Homecoming and Aggie Pride, just to name a few!
I love my school so much! It honestly feels like one big happy family. I was nervous to go to college because I come from a very small family, and I had never been away from home before. But as soon as I got there for orientation I was welcomed right away and my nervousness slowly disappeared. I wish there were more opportunities I knew about for people who enjoyed arts as much as I do. I do poetry and film and I am constantly looking for more opportunities to broadcast talents. I work with wisdom Wednesday, which is a small group to keep students informed and discuss what's going on the community as well as the world. I know my hbcu will continue to grow and I hope that we can become closer and all work together to become successful to our fullest potential!

The Greater Good Science Center at the University of California, Berkeley, in collaboration with the University of California, Davis, is pleased to announce a $3 million research initiative, Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude, supported with funding from the John Templeton Foundation. The center is now accepting letters of intent proposing research on gratitude in the human sciences. Up to 13 grants (no more than 3 at up to $500,000 and no more than 10 at up to $200,000), not to exceed $3 million, will be awarded in this competition in 2012.
I. Overview
Gratitude is a virtue that is held in high esteem by virtually everyone, at all times, in all places. From ancient religious scriptures through modern social science research, gratitude has been celebrated as a desirable human characteristic with the capacity for making life better for oneself and for others.
Recently, scientists have begun to chart a course of research studies aimed at empirically elucidating the nature of this timeless virtue. The scientific study of gratitude has begun to yield valuable insights into human nature, but within the human sciences the topic remains largely underdeveloped. The aim of this initiative is to stimulate scientific research on gratitude, with a long-term goal of spurring further investigations of this essential virtue across levels and domains of human functioning.
The general goals of this initiative are to: (1) Expand the scientific database of gratitude, particularly in the key areas of human health, personal and relational well-being, and developmental science; (2) Promote evidence-based practices of gratitude in medical, educational, and organizational settings and in schools, workplaces, homes and communities, and in so doing (3) Engage the public in a larger cultural conversation about the role of gratitude in civil society.
The Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude initiative is particularly interested in four key areas of gratitude research: (1) Gratitude and health, (2) The development of gratitude, (3) Gratitude in social contexts, and (4) The practice of gratitude. Examples of research questions in each of these areas include:
1. Gratitude and Health. How does gratitude contribute to mental and physical health, well-being, and other outcomes indicative of optimal human functioning across the lifespan? In what ways does gratitude contribute to psychological resiliency and the prevention of mental health problems, or recovery from them? Does a lack of gratitude confer a risk for developing psychiatric illnesses? Is gratitude related to improved physical health, faster recovery from illness, or even to a longer life? If so, what are the biobehavioral mechanisms by which gratitude promotes healthier functioning? Is gratitude related to distinct patterns of neuroendocrine response, immune system function, cardiovascular health, or other indicators of biological functioning? In older populations, does gratitude contribute to positive aging and even to a deceleration of the aging process? Is gratitude a consequence or determinant of healthy adaptation in later life?
2. Gratitude in Youth. What is the developmental trajectory of gratitude in children? What developmental experiences facilitate or thwart gratitude? What can the people with the greatest influence over a child's life—parents, teachers, coaches, etc.—do to foster gratitude in children? Is there a critical period when the capacity for gratitude is best transmitted from an older to a younger generation? In what ways can gratitude alleviate or prevent developmental problems in childhood and adolescence? To what degree does gratitude promote positive outcomes such as school success, overall well-being, community service, resiliency, healthy behaviors, and less risk taking?
3. Gratitude in Social Contexts. As gratitude is inherently a relational phenomenon, another focus of the RFP is on gratitude's role in social contexts, especially as it relates to relational well-being. What is the function of gratitude in building, promoting, and maintaining social relationships? What are the benefits of gratitude in close relationships? In what ways is gratitude related to trust, cooperation, generosity, intimacy, conflict reduction, and other pro-relationship behaviors? What factors hinder or thwart expression of gratitude in relationships? Are there conditions in which gratitude might be harmful for relationships?
4. Gratitude in Practice. How can gratitude be practiced and encouraged in medical, educational, or organizational settings and in schools, workplaces, homes and communities, and how can interventions to increase gratitude in these settings be evaluated? What evidence-based gratitude interventions are most effective with which populations, and why? What school-based interventions can promote sustainable increases in grateful character traits? To what degree can gratitude be incorporated into patient care?
II. Background
Gratitude is derived from the Latin gratia, meaning grace, graciousness, or gratefulness and has been conceptualized as an emotion, an attitude, a moral virtue, a habit, a personality trait, and coping response. Broadly defined, gratitude is an acknowledgment that a person has received something of value from another moral agent. Most existing theoretical treatments agree that gratitude results most often from a specific set of attributions: (1) when a benefit is evaluated positively; (2) when the benefit that one has encountered is not attributed to one's own effort; and (3) when the benefit was rendered intentionally by the benefactor. There is consensus that gratitude can be regarded as a moral emotion, in that it leads to behavior intended to benefit others. The experience of gratitude results from acknowledging the 'gratuitous' role sources of social support may play in promoting the well-being of others.
As a trait, gratitude refers not only to the gratitude that arises following help from others but also to a habitual focusing on and appreciation of the positive aspects of life. Gratitude may be explicitly 'other-directed' or benefit triggered in the context of having received a valued gift from another, or it may be a more generalized orientation toward life that is independent of an exchange-based relationship. Benefit-triggered gratitude is elicited by a specific transfer of a benefit, whereas generalized gratitude includes being grateful for that which is valuable and meaningful to oneself. As part of the Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude initiative, projects may address these multiple meanings of gratitude in terms of either interpersonal or transpersonal gratitude, religious or nonreligious gratitude, benefit-triggered or generalized gratitude.
Gratitude is foundational to well-being and mental health throughout the life span. In the past few years, there has been an accumulation of scientific evidence showing how gratitude contributes to psychological and social well-being. A growing body of research has documented the wide array of psychological, physical, and relational benefits associated with gratitude from childhood to old age.
Yet, the scientific study of gratitude is still in its early stages. The overall aim of this initiative is to stimulate scientific research on gratitude in the social and biological sciences, with a goal of spurring investigations of this essential virtue across levels and domains of human functioning.
III. Application Instructions

Foxy Brown Shows Up Drunk & Gets Kicked Out
Foxy Brown – you used to be a bad-ass chick. What happened? Now you're just bad. The rapper was escorted out of a fashion show party in New York this past week after she showed up drunk as hell and late.
According to TMZ, sources at Red Bull Space in Soho — which hosted the after party for Indashio's fashion show — say that Foxy showed up at 1:20AM, only ten minutes before the party was officially over. They say she also locked herself in a bathroom and refused to come out. Eventually security was called and she was physically removed from the building.
Tragic. The race for 'biggest female rapper letdown' is still neck and neck between she and Lil Kim though.

Tour de France director hails British role in the sport
Britain's growing cycling culture has helped to globalise the sport while keeping it close to its European roots, Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme said.
Nice: Britain's growing cycling culture has helped to globalise the sport while keeping it close to its European roots, Tour de France director Christian Prudhomme said.
"Globalisation is necessary but we need to respect the roots of cycling," Prudhomme told Reuters in an interview after the fifth stage of the Paris-Nice race. "If cycling has been resistant to scandals it's because it has deep roots in some countries."
Globalisation could be achieved through the riders, not just by spreading races all over the world, he said. "When [Australian] Cadel Evans wins the Tour, images travel all over the world. The Tour has helped globalise cycling through its champions."
Road cycling took the spotlight in Britain after the Tour started from London in 2007 and Bradley Wiggins's Tour triumph last year - 10 days before he also won the London Olympic time trial - had increased interest, Prudhomme said.
"When you see Bradley Wiggins win, he is the first Briton to win the Tour, he has an Australian father, and the rider who is second overall (Chris Froome) was born in Kenya and lives in South Africa - it epitomises Commonwealth," said Prudhomme on Friday. "But yet you're still right next to Paris, to Belgium."
The English-speaking world, at one time regarded as a threat to cycling with the now-disgraced Lance Armstrong once being rumoured to take over as Tour de France owner, was now cycling's great ally, according to Prudhomme.
"When I went to Yorkshire (this year) to announce that the Tour 2014 would start from Yorkshire, I told them: 'You're Belgians who speak English'," he said. "I'd also like to thank the people who decided to send Wiggins on to the stage with the yellow jersey on his back at the Olympic opening ceremony. We were so proud that day. When you have a Briton winning the Tour you're reaching out to everyone who speaks English in the world and that's a few potential fans."

Metamaterials are composites with unique electromagnetic attributes. Fractals are structures built up from repeated sizings of a simple shape to make a complex one. Fractals are used to make partless, shrunken resonators, also called tuned circuits, that are densely and closely packed as a metamaterial, wound as cylinders in this example, then placed on top of a conventional antenna for dramatic performance enhancements.
The new video (http://fractenna.com/whats/whats.html), shows how the fractal metamaterials improve a monopole or 'vertical' antenna. With careful scientific protocols and controls, scientists at Fractal Antenna Systems demonstrate how a fractal metamaterial sleeve, with no power or electrical connection to the actual antenna, dramatically increases the bandwidth and gain. The firm's CEO Nathan Cohen notes: "Some people need to be convinced that metamaterials and fractals are useful tools in the electronic toolbox. We feel the same way, and are happy to oblige with this educational video. It makes an overwhelming case for the fractal advantage, in this case with a specific and fascinating metamaterial application."
Conservatively describing the bandwidth improvement as tripled, the actual bandwidth increases from 120 MHz to a new value 1500 MHz, just by slipping the fractal metamaterial sleeve over the monopole. Cohen added: "Physicists and engineers define bandwidth in different ways, either through a standing wave ratio or a half power point. We think folks should look for themselves, as any way you define it, it is startling and dramatic."
The gain of the antenna also undergoes improvement, more than doubling value. Cohen also notes that this is an expected and well understood result. Cohen concluded: "What is exciting for us is that fractals enable this technology, and as the inventors and patent holders, we are the innovators bringing it to our products and designs, and are happy to show this example to help others understand the benefits."
Fractal Antenna Systems, Inc. (http://www.fractenna.com) supplies products for the world's most demanding wireless, and electromagnetic applications. Backed by over three dozen U.S., and international patents, plus dozens of patents pending, Fractal Antenna Systems is the recognized pioneer in fractal technology, with extensive research and field experience over 15 years in business. The company is a privately held and headquartered in Waltham, Massachusetts, USA.

2G: CBI to probe Mahajan tenure, BJP sees red
The BJP asked the CBI to probe Union Home Minister P Chidambaram's role in 2G spectrum allocation.
New Delhi: The Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) has come down heavily on the Congress and the Central Bureau Of Investigation (CBI) after the later filed an FIR on the 2G spectrum allocation during former telecom minister Pramod Mahajan's tenure and asked the agency to instead concentrate on Union Home Minister P Chidambaram instead.
BJP spokesperson and MP Prakash Javadekar defended the BJP-led National Democratic Alliance Cabinet's decision on spectrum allocation and called the CBI's move to register cases against officials on alleged irregularities in the 2G scam as a "political conspiracy".
Javdekar said, "The CBI should concentrate on Mr Chidambaram's role in the 2G scam instead of dragging in the late Pramod Mahajan."
Accusing the Congress-led United Progressive Alliance Government of trying to protect Chidambaram, the BJP claimed that the CBI has been diverting the attention from Chidambaram.
"This case has been filed to prevent a probe against then Finance Minister P Chidambaram. We had submitted proof against him recently and the Prime Minister has himself accepted that the 2G allocations were made only after Chidambaram gave his nod. So both Raja and Chidambaram are equally guilty. This is a case of complicity and equal responsibility," Javadekar said while reacting to the CBI's move to investigate discrepancies in 2G spectrum allocation the NDA regime.
"The NDA Cabinet took the right policy decision. What is happening now is part of a political conspiracy and is a last ditch effort to save Chidambaram. This is the worst political abuse of CBI by the Congress," Javadekar said.
Additional allocation of the 2G spectrum during the late BJP leader and the then telecom minister Pramod Mahajan's tenure will be investigated with the CBI registering a second FIR.
After the FIR, the CBI conducted raids at Vodafone office in Mumbai and Airtel office in Gurgaon. The residences of former telecom secretary Shyamal Ghosh and former director of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) JR Gupta have also been raided by the investigating agency.
Defending Mahajan, Javadekar said, "All decisions were taken by the Cabinet and did not favour any company." He alleged that Congress was back to its "old tricks".
"There was Congress complicity in the 2G spectrum case. It is not a franchise corruption but a coalition corruption in which Congress is equally responsible," Javadekar said.
The CBI has registered the second FIR in the 2G spectrum case to investigate about discrepancies in 2G spectrum allocation during the NDA government.
The CBI also conducted raids on Saturday at Vodafone office in Mumbai and Bharti Airtel office in Gurgaon. The residences of former telecom secretary Shyamal Ghosh and former director of Bharat Sanchar Nigam Limited (BSNL) JR Gupta have also been raided by the investigating agency.
Mahajan was telecom minister between 2001 and 2003. The raids come after the Supreme Court order for a preliminary investigation into all spectrum allocation from 2001 to 2007. However, Mahajan has not been named as an accused since he died in 2006.
The case is a follow up of the Supreme Court ordered preliminary enquiry in which spectrum allocation during tenures of former telecom ministers Mahajan, Arun Shourie and Dayanidhi Maran were being probed.
The CBI's preliminary enquiry report had indicted the late BJP leader Pramod Mahajan for causing losses to the exchequer and favouring private companies, as telecom minister.
Mahajan had allotted additional spectrum beyond 6.2 MHZ and upto 10 MHZ by charging only additional 1 per cent revenue share.
According to sources Mahajan's decision had caused revenue loss of Rs 565 crore to Department of Telecom (DoT).

You know what I want to see? I want to see a skit on SNL where Angelina Jolie and Billy Bob Thornton are talking on the phone. Apparently the way to get Billy Bob to talk during an interview is to ask him about his music or about Angelina. Ask him about one of those subjects and you can't get the guy to shut up.
Well, in an interview he gave yesterday he said that he and Angelina are still best friends. This doesn't appear to be one of those generic statements guys say about their exes where they claim they are best friends and she really can't stand the guy.
I got the feeling from the interview that Billy Bob talks to Angelina almost every day. Now, if they were just friends I guess that would be ok. But, he has made it very clear that he thinks that he and Angelina will get back together someday and they plan on making another film together. So, what does Brad think about this? What would any guy think about it. You either have to be one hell of a secure person or just don't give a crap one way or the other.
I can just hear Billy Bob calling and Brad picking up.
Billy Bob – How ya doing sport? Are you guys on Ocean's 36 now yet? Yeah, keep cashing those paychecks. You bending over for Clooney or is it the other way around? Is Angie around, I have a question about this time she gave me a blowjob on a motorcycle while I was driving. Damn she is a helluva lady. Did I tell you about the time she picked up these two girls from McDonalds, and, oh never mind. Go get the lil darlin for me will you. Thanks sport.

Grabby, that's what Ontario is.
Grabby, grabby, grabby.
First, it absconds with the California Welcome Center that San Bernardino was forced to close due to its financial woes.
"We'll take that!" Ontario said, jumping at the chance.
Now, the upstart city is attempting to steal San Bernardino's Route 66 Rendezvous, the downtown summer classic that draws 500,000 spectators each year. San Bernardino also had to pull the plug on that, for a year at least, because of its problems.
"We'll take that, too!" Ontario said, rubbing its hands rapaciously.
Grabby, grabby, grabby.
Perhaps San Bernardino has a few other nice things that Ontario would like to purloin. How about taking the San Bernardino International Airport, for example?
Oh, wait, Ontario already has a half-dead airport of its own, doesn't it? Never mind.
How about San Bernardino's big holiday gala, Christmas Tree Lane? Would Ontario like that?
The Grinch who stole Christmas, indeed.
Grabby, grabby, grabby.
Lest other cities in the Inland Empire be lulled into thinking that Ontario is only interested in looting San Bernardino, here is fair warning! The burglar city also has made off with the Huck Finn Jubilee, which for 36 years had taken place in Victorville. Now, though, it will take place, on Father's Day weekend, at Ontario's Cucamonga-Guasti Regional Park.
Nobody is safe any more from grabby Ontario. They may be gunning for Big Bear Lake's Oktoberfest next ... who knows?
If they can figure out a way, they even might make a play for holding the Redlands Home Tour in Ontario. It would be tricky, sure, but Ontario is nothing if not tricky.
On the third weekend of September of this year, the same weekend that San Bernardino originally was planning to hold its 23rd annual Route 66 Rendezvous, Ontario will hold its attempted takeover version, which it is calling the Route 66 Reunion.
Now, let me say something. In my campaign to become Emperor of the Inland Empire, I have pledged to love all my cities, and I do. I really do. I think it's almost kind of cute that Ontario wants to have little make-believe Route 66 event of its own, just like the big boys in San Bernardino. I may even pop over in the mornings on that weekend and check it out. Just to make sure it's not a morning wasted, I probably will pick up some doughnuts at Krispy Kreme, which as everyone knows is Ontario's only real claim to pop culture stature.
Yes, Ontario does have the region's only Krispy Kreme store. But there's plenty that it doesn't have.
It has no cred in the car world, as San Bernardino does. In fact, Ontario's timid foray into automotive spectacle, the Ontario Motor Speedway of many decades ago, turned out to be a real lemon.
Ontario has no history as a cruising town, as San Bernardino does. Ontario has no famous drag strip comparable to San Bernardino's E Street. Ontario has not a single shred of the real Route 66 running through it, as San Bernardino does, and Ontario obviously earns no mention whatsoever in the classic song "(Get Your Kicks on) Route 66," as San Bernardino so gloriously does.
The only cruising I've ever done in Ontario was around and around in circles, looking for a parking spot at that Ontario Mills discount outlet mall.
That's why on the afternoons and evenings of that third weekend in September, I will be where everyone will be who is serious about getting their kicks on Route 66. That's right, San Bernardino!
The regular Rendezvous won't be taking place this year, but a huge classic car show and entertainment event, titled "Rendezvous Back to Route 66," will pack the downtown San Manuel Stadium on both Friday and Saturday, and our rebel cruise of E Street, which we're calling the Rendezcruise, will be happening on both nights. We're going to play our music loud, yell out our windows and honk our horns. We're going to party like it's 1959.
Grab your wheels, grab a place in line, and grab your share of the fun.
Everyone's invited. Including our grabby friends in Ontario.

Cleveland Kids Create
I opened up my Facebook last Monday morning, quickly scanning through a sea of status updates and suddenly stopped on this, a refreshing, meaningful photo:
I immediately emailed Loren Naji, contemporary artist and fellow Clevelander, for the full scoop. We sat down a few days later, and I was treated both to the details, and the inspiration, behind this amazing event.
Meet Loren and Brielle
Brielle, 10 year old daughter of Naji, was granted her first art studio at the age of two. Housed in her dad's gallery, the Loren Naji Studio Gallery, Brielle's space was a place of play, a blank canvas on which she could create. Brielle's love for art has continued; she's particularly fond of painting and clay, techniques she has learned from her father.
Brielle who has had exposure to the monthly gallery shows Naji curates, just recently suggested the concept behind what is now Cleveland Kids Create. She remembers, "I said, Dad, we should have a kids art show!"
Naji was struck by the idea, noting, "I thought this would be a really meaningful show because it gives kids the opportunity to show in a professional gallery. Then, I thought there could be an even deeper meaning to this if these kids were able to both contribute to great cause and sell their work, giving them a great deal of pride as a result."
The two then decided that proceeds from the show would go to Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation, an organization that helps kids with cancer.
So far, the pair are expecting to see over a hundred pieces of art submitted.
What does Brielle hope to see as her excellent idea comes to fruition? She smiles, her desire is simple: "for a lot of money to go to the kids at the Cancer Foundation."
To Take Part:
Children between the ages of 5 and 13 years are encouraged to submit art, of any kind, to the Loren Naji Studio Gallery at 2138 W. 25th Street, Cleveland, Ohio 44113, on either Monday, December 2nd between noon and 7:00 p.m. or Tuesday, December 3rd, between 9:00 a.m. and 2:00 p.m. Mailed art will not be accepted.
"Anything goes," the Naji's share. "We invite kids to think out of the box. Art could be on the floor, on a pedestal, on the wall, hung from the ceiling, etc."
All art will be for sale and priced at $20.00. Some proceeds will go to the artists and some to Bear Necessities Pediatric Cancer Foundation.
The Cleveland Kids Create's opening reception will take place at Naji's gallery on Friday, December 6th from 6 p.m. to Midnight. Kids hors d'oeuvres will be served and music will add to make the event into a big party!
For more information, call Loren at 216.621.6444.
A little about Loren: Loren Naji is an American conceptual painter and sculptor from Brooklyn, New York, now based out of Cleveland. He attended Kent State University to study graphic design and graduated with a B.F.A. in painting from The Cleveland Institute of Art. He has shown his work in The Cleveland Museum of Art and is the owner of the Loren Naji Studios in Ohio City.
