Relational frame theory, or RFT, is a psychological theory of human language and cognition, developed largely through the efforts of Steven C. Hayes and Dermot Barnes-Holmes and currently being tested in about three dozen laboratories around the world. Based on the philosophical roots of functional contextualism, it focuses on how humans learn language through interactions with the environment. Functional contextualism is an extension and contextualistic interpretation of B.F. Skinner's radical behaviorism, and emphasizes the importance of predicting and influencing psychological events, such as thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, by focusing on manipulable variables in their context.
RFT is a behavioral approach to language[1]. B.F. Skinner proposed one such approach in 1957 in his book Verbal Behavior. Skinner presented his approach as an interpretation, not an experimental research program, and researchers commonly acknowledge that the research products are somewhat limited in scope. For example, it has been useful in some aspects of language training in developmentally disabled children, but it has not led to a robust research program in the range of areas relevant to language and cognition, such as problem-solving, reasoning, metaphor, logic, and so on. RFT advocates are fairly bold in stating that their goal is an experimental behavioral research program in all such areas, and RFT research has indeed emerged in a number of these areas including grammar [2].
In a review of Skinner's book, linguist Noam Chomsky argued that the generativity of language shows that it can not simply be learned, that there must be some innate "language acquisition device". Many have seen this review as a turning point, when cognitivism took the place of behaviorism as the mainstream in psychology. Behavior analysts generally viewed the criticism as unfair and largely off point (for a behavior analytic response to Chomsky, see MacCorquodale (1970), On Chomsky's Review Of Skinner's Verbal Behavior), but it is undeniable that psychology turned its attention elsewhere and the review was very influential in helping to produce the rise of cognitive psychology. More recent cognitive trends, such as situated cognition or distributed cognition, have similarities to Relational Frame Theory so it is possible that these fields will eventually move closer.
Despite the lack of attention from the mainstream, behavior analysis is alive and growing. Its application has been extended to areas such as language and cogntive training[3], animal training, business and school settings, as well as hospitals and areas or research.
RFT distinguishes itself from Skinner's work by identifying and defining a particular type of operant conditioning known as derived relational responding. This is a learning process that to date appears to occur only in humans possessing a capacity for language. Derived relational responding is theorized to be a pervasive influence on almost all aspects of human behavior. The theory represents an attempt to provide a more empirically progressive account of complex human behavior while preserving the naturalistic approach of behavior analysis.[How to reference and link to summary or text]
Several dozen studies have tested RFT ideas. Supportive data exists in the areas needed to show that an action is "operant" such as the importance of multiple examples in training derived relational responding, the role of context, and the importance of consequences. Derived relational responding has also been shown to alter other behavioral processes such as classical conditioning, an empirical result that RFT theorists point to in explaining why relational operants modify existing behavioristic interpretations of complex human behavior. Empirical advances have also been made by RFT researchers in the analysis and understanding of such topics as metaphor, perspective taking, and reasoning. [How to reference and link to summary or text]
Proponents of RFT often cite the failure to establish a vigorous experimental program in language and cognition as the key reason why behavior analysis fell out of the mainstream of psychology despite its many contributions, and argue that RFT might provide a way forward. The theory is still somewhat controversial within behavioral psychology, however. At the current time the controversy is not primarily empirical since RFT studies publish regularly in mainstream behavioral journals and few empirical studies have yet claimed to contradict RFT findings. Rather the controversy seems to revolve around whether RFT is a positive step forward, especially given that its implications seem to go beyond many existing interpretations and extensions from within this intellectual tradition.
RFT underlies the therapeutic practice known as acceptance and commitment therapy.
RFT provides conceptual and procedural guidance for enhancing the cognitive and language development capability (through its' detailed treatment and analysis of derived relational responding and the transformation of function) of early intensive behavior intervention (EIBI) programs for young children with autism and related disorders.[4]

Pope Francis had his first meeting last week with members of the Jewish community. He strongly condemned anti-Semitism and promised to continue to promote collaborative relationships with Jewish groups around the world. He stressed the obvious ties Christians and Jews share through the common use of Scripture and the origins of Christianity through Judaism.
Francis also at least indirectly sought to overcome what had been a deterioration of Catholic/Jewish relationships during the papacy of Benedict XVI. The renewed use of a Good Friday prayer insensitive to Jews, the seeking of reconciliation with traditionalist Catholics who tended toward anti-Semitic views, and the effort to beatify Pope Pius XII (seen by many Jews as not having condemned the Holocaust strongly enough) all led to increased tensions with the Jewish community.
Pope Francis cited "Nostra Aetate," a document from the Second Vatican Council, as the foundation for Jewish/Christian relations. This was seen as an encouraging move. The Jewish delegation and Jewish organizations around the world responded favorably to Francis' overtures.

NGFA Honors Three at 118th Annual Convention in Hilton Head, SC
Date Posted: April 3, 2014
The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) paid tribute to three individuals for outstanding service to the industry during the organization's 188th annual convention March 30-April 1 on Hilton Head Island, SC.
Approximately 640 people attended the 2014 convention at the Westin Hilton Head Resort, up from about 600 at the 2013 convention in San Francisco, CA.
NGFA President Randall Gordon presented the association's 2014 Congressional Leadership Award March 31 to U.S. Rep. Bob Gibbs, R-OH.
Rep. Gibbs was cited for his work in crafting a market-oriented 2014 Farm Bill and his advocacy for upgrading the nation's waterways infrastructure.
Gibbs also served as the keynote speaker for the convention.
Also honored for their years of service to the NGFA were Tom O'Connor, formerly NGFA director of technical services, now retired, and Steve Strege, retiring this year as executive secretary of the North Dakota Grain and Feed Association.
During the NGFA's annual business meeting April 1, member companies elected association officers for 2014-15:
* Chairman Gary Beachner, president and CEO of Beachner Grain, Parsons, KS.
* First Vice Chairman John Heck, senior vice president of The Scoular Co., Omaha, NE.
* Second Vice Chairman Eric Wilkey, president of Arizona Grain Inc., Casa Grande, AZ.
Members also elected 17 to three-year terms on the NGFA board of directors.
During the annual meeting, member companies also approved an amendment to the NGFA Rail Arbitration Rules incrasing the cap on claims for mandatory arbitration from $200,000 to $400,000.
The NGFA has scheduled its 119th annual convention for March 15-17, 2015, at the Hyatt Regency Riverwalk in San Antonio, TX.

Pastor Enrique Juarez was saved in 1992 in Millington, TN and baptized at Eastside Baptist Church. After he was baptized, the church gave him a bible and this is when God use His Word to transform the life of bro. Enrique Juarez through daily personal bible study.
After bro. Juarez finished his military schooling in the Marine Corps, he returned to California where the Lord answered his prayers in providing a local church for him to attend. God answered this prayer two weeks after Bro. Juarez arrived in California and he became a member of Bethel Baptist Church in Santa Ana, CA pastored by Dr. Dan Davidson.
Pastor Davidson had a very important part in the life of Bro. Juarez supporting him in the decision to serve the Lord in full time Christian service. Since October 1992 Bro. Juarez has been serving the Lord faithfully. He has served in a variety of ministries to include the church choir, Sunday school teacher, bus worker, Spanish Sunday school teacher, Spanish Youth Pastor, Spanish Church Choir director, Spanish assistant pastor from 1993 to Nov. 1998 and finally as the Spanish Pastor of Bethel Baptist Church from Nov. 1998 until June of 2005.
Bro. Juarez has studied a different Biblical Institutions, the first being the Bethel Baptist Bible Institute for 3 semesters now Pacific Baptist College which was an education ministry started from Bethel Baptist Church in Santa Ana, CA . Then he studied at Pacific Coast Baptist Bible College in San Dimas, CA for 1 semester, which is now Heartland Baptist College. Then bro. Juarez transferred to Ins$@!%!uto Bautista Hispano de Los Angeles, whose president is Dr. Ezequiel Salazar where he studied for 3 years. Currently bro. Juarez is continuing his education at BBN Bible Institute.
Mrs. Diana Limaosorio de Juarez was saved in October 1991 in Mexico City, D.F. where she was baptized in the Baptist Church of Texcoco (Iglesia Bautista De Texcoco). A little after the Lord provided the means for Mrs. Juarez to live in the United States to help her family. This was during the time that Bro. Juarez was praying for a wife as well as Mrs. Juarez who was praying for a husband. God answered their prayers and they were married May of 1997.
Mrs. Diana Juarez also study at the Ins@%#@!uto Bautista Hispano de Los Angeles. In October of 1998 God bless them with their first daughter Sarah D. Juarez who is a living miracle of God. In December 2001 the Lord blessed the Juarezâs with their second daughter Hannah M. Juarez and in September of 2007 they were blessed again with Daniela L. Juarez.

Alexander Thomas was an American developmental psychologist'
In 1965 he led a team (including Stella Chess, Margaret Hertzig and Herbert G. Birch) on a longitudinal study to follow a sample of over a hundred children from infancy to adulthood. Thomas and his colleagues identified nine characteristics of temperament that were stable and endured through maturity. They include: activity level, regularity (of biological functions), adaptability, threshold of responsiveness, intensity of reaction, mood quality, distractibility, persistence, and attention span. From these nine characteristics, three major patterns emerged that accounted for 65% of the children: the easy child, accounting for 40% of the sample, the difficult child, account for 10% of the sample, and the slow-to-warm-up child, which accounted for 15% of the sample. The remaining 35% showed no consistent temperament patterns.
In 1993 he was awarded the Distinguished Scientific Contribution Award from the Society for Research in Child Development

Subject: RE: [Middleton] Middletons in Ohio
Date: Fri, 24 Jan 2003 16:56:50 -0600
Here is my MIDDLETON lineage from Thomas and Winnifred down through my
grandmother. It does get confusing because there are two instances of
intermarrying within the line. Please let me know if I confuse you. John
C. MIDDLETON b. 1831 migrated to Indiana, as you will see below. I do know
that his sister Sarah MIDDLETON, who married Thomas Jefferson APPLEGATE,
also migrated to Indiana.
Thomas and Winnifred eldest child, John N. MIDDLETON is both my my 4th and
5th great grandfather:
John Nelson MIDDLETON, b. 13 Sep 1778 in Fairfax Co. VA - d. 12 Aug 1873
Wayne Township, Champaign County, OH
Married Elizabeth WEST, b. 13 Jul 1783 in Fairfax Co. VA - d. 13 Dec 1873
Wayne Twp, Champaign County, OH
They were married 3 Mar 1801 in Adams County, Ohio
John was a land owner in Champaign County
John and Elizabeth are both buried in Jenkins Chapel Cemetery, Champaign
County, OH
John and Elizabeth's eldest child is William MIDDLETON, my 3rd and 4th
William MIDDLETON, b. 16 Apr 1802 in Brown County, OH - d. 1 Jan 1890 in

Married (1) Rachel MIDDLETON, b. 1802 in Ohio - d. 1834-1838 Champaign Co.,
Rachel was William's first cousin - Her father was John Nelson's brother,
Thomas MIDDLETON, b.1782 - d. 3 Sep 1834 in Champaign County. Thomas was
married to Elizabeth SWISHER, and they were married 12 Jun 1802 in Adams Co,
William was a land owner in Champaign County
William is buried in Jenkins Chapel Cemetery in Champaign County, OH
William and Rachel's third son, John C. MIDDLETON, my 3rd great grandfather

Married Mary Ann BLUE, b. 27 Jan 1832 Champaign Co., OH - d. 17 Apr 1879
Carmel, Hamilton Co., IN
Married 29 Aug 1850 in Champaign County
They moved to Indiana after he returned to the Civil War, sometime after
1866, but before 1870
I believe John was a land owner in Hamilton County.
John and Mary Ann are both buried in Union Chapel Cemetery in Marion County,
William (above) married again after Rachel's death:

Mechanicsburg, Champaign County, OH
Married in 1883
Susan MIDDLETON was Cyrus' half niece. She was the daughter of John C. and
Mary Ann (above). This is how John C. is both a grandfather (through Susie)
and an uncle (through Cyrus) to me, with William above being the common
Cyrus and Susie are both buried in Treacles Creek Cemetery, in Champaign

Thanks for sharing your lineage. I am using parts in my next issue. Do
you know if any of your branch were land owners?
Indiana Middleton was your 3rd great grandfather. Correct? I would like
to know more about him birth, birthplace, death, where. From which of his
children did you descend? He was the son of John C. Middleton (4th great
grandfather?) He migrated to Indiana. Correct?

The longest continuously played-upon links in England, it is sited on gravel, so the course always drains fantastically well.

A couple of minutes from the A3 and 15 minutes from the M25, the course is highly accessible, with great parking facilities.
What they say about London Scottish Golf Course:
"This almost intact 19th century course is a lesson in golf architecture and in the manner in which the game was once, and should still be, played. At first the layout looks innocuous - the course appears to be scattered over the land rather than dominating it in the imperious modern manner - but then the Americans say that of St Andrews, don't they...?" - Golf Europe
"There is an old-fashioned air about golf at Wimbledon. It has at least one supreme virtue: that of naturalness. Those clumps of gorse and the deep ravines where the birches grow were put there by the hand of nature herself, who is infinitely more artistic than any golfing architect." - Bernard Darwin, Historic Golf Courses of the British Isles

Date published: 23 January 2013
A Religious Education teacher from Oldham has been banned from teaching for five years after telling pupils that sex is good – and advocating not getting married so they could sleep around.
Catherine Reynolds also showed tattoos on her lower back and thigh to her class at Saddleworth School.
The ban from classrooms followed a disciplinary panel hearing that found her guilty of unacceptable professional conduct.
Reynolds began working, newly-qualifed, at the school in 2008 and was a good teacher, said the Teaching Agency.
But following an incident two years later, in which she placed "wholly inappropriate and offensive" material on Facebook, further complaints were made about her conduct with pupils and general behaviour. She was suspended in March 2011 and resigned that July.
The hearing was told she failed to maintain appropriate professional boundaries and used inappropriate language with pupils.
She had told her class of circumstances in which she had taken a morning-after pill and an occasion when she told the pupils in the class about a relationship she had formed with an older man. She made references to sex from a personal perspective: one pupil claimed she had said "sex is good" and they shouldn't get married because then they couldn't sleep around.
She told pupils in class that she had been to Amsterdam and there had been a sex show involving bestiality, and that she had been for a naked massage. Reynolds described another teacher to pupils as a "bitch" and described a male pupil as a cross-dresser.
In his comment on the findings the Education Secretary said: "This behaviour has directly impacted upon pupils, on colleagues and even parents. A five-year review period, he said, would provide Ms Reynolds with an opportunity to consider whether she wishes to teach again."
Oh dear. Where do they find them.
Saddleworth School in the papers again.. tut tut. This made the national press.
Isn't it about time that so called professionals (Teachers) acted professionally and stopped adding there own agenda in a bid to influence our young people.
So this poor woman is banned for saying sex is good and you don't need to married BUT it is ok (and mandatory now ) to tell infant school pupils that's its ok to be homosexual and lesbian
We never had teachers like that...
Saddleworth school certainly seems more exciting than my alma mater.
The trouble with hiring young newly qualified staff is that they have moved straight from being a child in a childrens world to being an adult in a childrens world
@Owdamer. Where is your question mark?
@miracleboy64. Not only have you failed to use a question mark, you must work on your homophones.
@dempsey. Possessive apostrophes are free. Feel free to use one. Full stop?
Your targets: spend fewer hours slagging off teachers and more time listening to them . . . innit.
Ms Reynolds taught my son's class and she was an excellent teacher. He gained an A* in RE and he went on to Oxford. When I spoke to him of this today, his words were ' she got us to think deeply about the world and all the different points of view in it and she was one of the best teachers I ever had. She's one of three, I'd say, who got me to a level where I thought I was capable of getting to Oxford and I never heard her say anything inappropriate'.
We never had teachers like this in the 1980's what is the world coming to? no wonder the pupils these days show very little respect to their teachers.

Libyan-born Omar Deghayes and Algerian Abdennour Samuer were arrested under the Terrorism Act shortly before landing at Luton airport around 7pm and taken to a central London police station for questioning.
The third man, Jordanian Jamil el-Banna, was detained but not arrested and taken to a police station in Bedfordshire.
The three men were on board a chartered aircraft with a civilian flight crew and a doctor.
Officers from the Metropolitan police's counter-terrorism command were on the flight along with uniformed officers from the Met, who acted as an escort team at the request of the Foreign Office.
Earlier, the three men's lawyer, Clive Stafford-Smith, described their arrival in the UK after being released from the detention facility as "a wonderful day".
"We fully expect that the British government, after they have questioned them, will let them go home to be with their families for the Muslim festival of Eid, which is today and tomorrow," said Stafford-Smith.
He revealed that the three men had agreed to "voluntary security arrangements", which they are not allowed to disclose, required by the UK authorities. But they fall well short of the control orders imposed on some terror suspects in the UK, he added.
Stafford-Smith rejected concerns about any potential "national security risk" the men might pose.
"We have had 10 of our clients come back to Britain and the Americans said on each occasion they were dangerous people and on each occasion our clients have caused no trouble," he said.
El-Banna's wife, Sabah, released a statement through her Brent East MP Sarah Teather, who had helped campaign for his release, in which she expressed her hope that they could now be a "normal family".
"After five years of waiting, a lot has happened to me and my children," she said. "It has been a very difficult time, but thank God it is now finished and we have justice at last."
Deghayes' sister, Amani, said she was extremely relieved to hear the news of her brother's release and said he had been on the receiving end of "brutal and illegal treatment".
She said: "Our family has always said that Omar was totally innocent - one of the hundreds of people taken to Guantánamo by the Americans for no good reason."
Teather said the US had tortured El-Banna - exposing him to extremes of temperature, beatings and "appalling and unrepeatable threats to his wife" - and said it would be a "grave, grave injustice" if he were not allowed to remain in Britain.
"There is nowhere else for him to go," she told Sky News.
Amnesty International's UK director, Kate Allen, welcomed the return of the men, who she said should be treated "first and foremost as victims", but called for the release of other prisoners with "ties to Britain" in the detention facility.
The release of the three leaves two remaining British residents - Saudi national Shaker Aamer and Ethiopian-born Binyam Mohamed - at the notorious prison camp, according to the Foreign Office.
The foreign secretary, David Miliband, said in a statement last Thursday that he had been petitioning the US on behalf of all five men. Miliband said discussions regarding the release of Aamer were no longer "active" but the ministry was still in talks over Mohamed's case.
Amnesty is also campaigning for the release of Ahmed Belbacha, an Algerian man who, it says, has permission to remain in Britain pending a decision on his asylum application.

Five Tips for Getting People to Accept Help
She won't accept help.
Help wanted sign (Photo credit: andjohan)
He doesn't want my help.
We've all had it happen. Whether you're a helping professional or you have a friend or family member with a really big problem, often when we most want to help someone, the other person rejects our offer.
1) Ask yourself if the person really needs the help you're offering, or if your desire to help the person is making you see her situation as different than it is. Sometimes our own need to help can make us see events in other peoples' lives as problems when they aren't issues for that person. The help we want the person to accept is not always the help they need. Reassess their need to accept help in light of this.
2) Get to know the person. Ask him how he's doing every time you see him. Show interest in the things he's talking about, and ask open ended questions to get him to tell you more. If there is a real problem, and you have the ability to help, it may take a long time to build enough trust that some people will accept help.
3) Tie what the person needs to what the person wants. She needs to get clean from crack cocaine, but what she wants is to get a job. For instance: "Vocational Rehab can accept you if you do some outpatient substance abuse groups. Let's get started with that," or something similar. Sometimes its important that both happen at the same time, as frustration can make a person give up or back slide.
Offer to work on what the other person wants to work on, but point out how 'the big problem', whatever it is, is getting in the way, and help the other person build a bridge between what they want and what needs to happen., and you are more likely to get the other person to accept help.
4) Give him room to do it his way. You might think that the best way for him to handle his addiction is to go to AA meetings, but he thinks that writing in his journal every day is a better way to keep on the straight and narrow. Show interest in his solution when you see him and ask him how it's working for him. If it is, add it to your repertoire of possible solutions for people. If it's not, offer him another path. He is more likely to accept help from you, if you accept that he is an individual and that a personalized solution might work better for him. Provide feedback, not condemnation.
5) Accept your limitations. Perhaps the person is not yet ready to accept help and you need to spend more time getting to know him. It is also possible that you are the wrong person to help him, in which case you should refer him to someone else. In this type of work, it's very important to be able to "let go and let God". It is not your fault if you have done what you could and something bad still happens to someone you're helping.
The key in this situation is to balance your need to help and the person's need for help. This is a prime area where helpers find themselves crossing boundaries and getting into trouble. Be careful that you are providing the person with the tools to help herself, not just doing the work for her, and never "give up" on a person emotionally, even if you find you are not able to help.
My first year as a case manager, many years ago, someone gave me a very valuable piece of advice: Never work harder than the person you're helping. This doesn't mean to give up if a person appears to be not moving toward their goal (or yours), but rather to not do the work for them.
Deflect it back to them. Offer to listen, but assure the other that the answer is within their grasp. Maintain your boundaries and don't let the other person's need for help jeopardize your own health or safety. Call in reinforcements if needed.
And sooner or later, most of the time, the person you are trying to help will accept help. Maybe just a little at first, and almost certainly with numerous setbacks, but you will see them move toward their goal, and that knot of worry at your center will begin, slowly, to unclench.

Random Blogging For Tuesday February 4th
Whew, gotta say I didn't sleep well last night, and I am dragging today.. Hope you're having a better day than me. Here's what you missed on today's show.
The Morning Brain Buster
25% of married couples have this in common. What is it?
A- Sleep in separate beds
Bonehead Of The Day:
An Alaska woman tried to get away from a DUI stop by pulling in her garage and shutting the door on the cops.
Cops tried to pull the 36-year-old over about 1:30am, but she pulled into the driveway of her house and then tried to close the garage door.
Cops walked into the garage before the door closed and could see she was pretty drunk.
She tried to fight them off, but was eventually handcuffed and arrested. She refused to take a breath test and was arrested for DUI
Don't Return Phone Calls From These Area Codes.. It's A Scam
The Better Business Bureau is warning people about a scam they're calling the "One Ring Phone Scam."
Scammers call your phone and hang up after one ring.
They're hoping you'll call back, which allows them to pile on charges while you're connected.
The calls usually come from outside the US, but you won't always know that because they come from countries that use a 1+country code.
You could get a $19.95 international call fee plus a charge of upwards of $9 a minute.
The area codes to look out for are 268 (Antigua or Barbudo), 809 (Dominican Republic), 876 (Jamacia), 284 (Virgin Islands), and 473 (Grenada.)
If you do get scammed, tell your carrier, they are usually aware of the scams and will cancel the charges.
In the meantime, if you get a call from a number you don't recognize….Google the area code and number first so you know where it's coming from. Plus you may find other people posting about the number being a scam.
Your Car May Eventually Talk To Other Cars.. So You Don't Crash
The government is considering a plan that would require new cars to come with technology that would let you know if you were about to hit another car.
It has "game changing potential" to cut down on crashes, deaths, and injuries.
A radio signal would continuously transmit your position, heading, speed, and other info.
Cars would also receive the same info from other vehicles and computers inside would let you know if you were about to crash.
Alerts could be flashing lights or a message, an audible warning, vibrating seats, and more. Some cars could even automatically brake to keep from crashing.
Your car could "see" when another car with the same technology was about to run a red-light even if that vehicle was hidden around a corner.
The technology works up to about 300 yards.
It could be months or years before any of this becomes law, if at all.
Kids Allowances On The Rise
Do you remember how much your weekly allowance was when you were a kid?
If you're thinking around $10 or $15 you would be in the minority today.
The number of kids that are bringing in a weekly allowance of above $20 is rising with some kids adding $50 and $100 to their piggy banks each week. As the economy is slowly starting to rebound kids are benefiting from parents feeling like they have a little extra to give out.
In some families, giving their kid a little weekly stipend means the kid is now responsible for some of their own things - like buying their own clothes.
While only 1% of parents are giving their kids $100 a week, the average is $16.25 a week or about $65 a month.
Experts warn parents against giving their child more than they need just to keep up with their classmates - you could be doing them more harm than good.
Wanted: Superhumans
A team of scientists are searching for superhumans... and are offering $10,000.
The researchers hope to track down people with rare phenotypes-- for example, people who are somehow protected from disease or heal very quickly.
By studying these people, the hope it could eventually help them to find treatments or even cures for severe diseases.
They are asking potential entrants to describe their interesting or rare characteristic on an online form with the best one getting $10,000.

Can't Understand Your Guy.. He's Probably Speaking Menglish
A relationship coach is using the word "Menglish" to describe the way men communicate.
Ladies if you want to have a less frustrating conversation with the man in your life it's important that you brush up on your Menglish.
Here are 10 steps to understanding this foreign language.
1. Don't expect your man to multitask. Be patient and don't bring up a serious topic while he's working on something else.
2. Remember the 30 second rule. This means after asking a question wait 30 seconds for him to answer because men typically have to think a bit about their feelings before they can communicate.
3. Men are problem solvers. When you tell him about your bad day he'll probably try to solve all of your issues for you instead of just saying "that sucks" and letting you vent.
4. Men have limited capacity for detail. If you give every detail from your day men tend to lose patience with your story because they are fact oriented and are trying to figure out what your point is.
5. Don't expect your man to magically know what you need. If you know what it is you're looking for you need to communicate that directly instead of dropping what you think are obvious hints.
6. Men thrive on appreciation. Even if it doesn't totally meet your expectations be sure to show your man that you appreciate his efforts.
7. Men are providers. Tell him how he provides for you and how it makes you feel and he will react positively to that encouragement.
8. Men need you to be receptive. Let your man surprise you and dote on you and do things for you. When you don't let him do these things he thinks you're pushing him away.
9. Men want to make you happy. Trust him and allow him to provide the things that will make you feel good.
10. Confidence is the number one quality a man looks for in a woman. Be confident in who you are and know that a man is finding that attractive.
Dude Risks Life To Take Selfie While Running With The Bulls
A man taking part in the Houston Bull run put his life on the line when he took the time to take a selfie and a video with the animals chasing after him.
His photo made it on the front page of the website, Reddit as well as the Houston Press.
Over 3,000 people took part in the event with only one person being treated for scrapes, bruises and a concussion.
Organizers of the event got the idea from the Spanish bull-running event and wanted to bring the spectacle closer to home.

Nelson, New Zealand (AFP) Jan 23, 2012
A pod of 90 pilot whales beached themselves at the top of New Zealand's South island Monday in the same area where seven whales died in a mass stranding earlier this month, officials said.
Regional conservation department manager John Mason said staff and volunteers would attempt to keep the whales cool until the late night high tide when it was hoped they would refloat themselves.
The whales came ashore at Golden Bay, near the tourist city of Nelson, where strandings on the tidal flats are common.
Earlier this month 25 whales were stranded on the same stretch of beach and only 18 were refloated, while 47 pilot whales died in the same area two months ago.
Pilot whales up to six metres (20 feet) long are the most common species of whale seen in New Zealand waters.

When I began working in the anti-violence movement 14 years ago, I never imagined I would be sitting here today writing a blog about prevention. But yet, here I am. After years of working in community-based rape crisis programs as a counselor, advocate, educator, and supervisor I had the fortune of coming to work at the National Sexual Violence Resource Center [1]. By the third day, I was heavily immersed in the Spectrum of Prevention [2] document. Over the course of the past seven years, I have become a prevention geek. It is my passion, and it gives me hope there can be an end to sexual violence.
My hope is that this blog serves as an information hub and a connection point for those of you doing prevention work at all levels of the spectrum.
Have you ever wondered how preventionists in other states and other communities do their work? What resources they use? How they evaluate their programs?
We'll connect you with new prevention resources and highlight programs that are taking an innovative approach to prevention.
So, welcome. I'm glad you are along for the ride!

To make selected content stand out, take advantage of our display components, which enable you to present content prominently without having to do much formatting. For example, you can use an Announcement component to post an urgent notice. All our components are fully responsive, displaying optimally on screens of all sizes—from desktop to mobile.
Formatting Content in Articles
For most content, you will continue to use the "article" content type. With the sitewide redesign in March 2016, we simplifed the formatting options in our articles.
A note on accessibility: If you follow the suggestions in this guide, you'll go a long way toward making your content accessible to the visually impaired. Now take the extra step, by learning more about making your pages accessible.
Use headings to categorize information and allow people to scan your page easily. To make a heading, select the text and choose a heading from the "Format" (or "Paragraph") drop-down menu.
Heading 1 is automatically created, serving as the page title at the top of the page. The Title field in an article creates a Heading 2. In the body of your article, use:
Heading 3
Heading 4
Heading 5
Bulleted Lists
- A bulleted item stands out.
- A bulleted list is easy to read.
Most of the time you'll use regular paragraphs, which require no style to be added. Keep it simple!
For captions under photos, you can use the Caption style, which is a bit smaller and lighter than regular text.
Drop Caps
To apply a drop cap, select the first letter of a paragraph and apply the "Drop cap" style. Use drop caps sparingly—preferably only for the opening paragraph on a page. Drop caps draw the eye into text, and are a nice way to begin a page.
Most of the time you don't need to align a photo; simply place a medium-sized photo under a heading or between paragaphs.
Note—you can also use the Image with Caption component. Add the component above or below your article.
Sometimes you might want to use smaller photos:
The photo at left has the "image align left" style applied to it, which makes the image align to the left while text wraps on the right.
A similar style called "image align right" makes the image align to the right side of the page.
Links—Don't Say "Click Here"
To make your links clearer and more prominent (and more accessible), link the specific name rather than "here."

Musings on the Ukraine
I'm in more or less complete agreement with Matthew Yglesias on the Ukraine issue. The interests and ideological convictions of the United States dovetail nicely in Eastern Europe. It is good to favor a transparent, reliable electoral process in the Ukraine both because democracy is good and because such an outcome will be favorable to the United States. Moreover, the one doesn't necessarily pollute the other, and it really doesn't matter which motive is more important to US action in this case.
So, if the United States is supporting the opposition in Serbia, the Ukraine, Georgia, or wherever else, great! If the opposition wins, even better. Skepticism about US motives shouldn't detract from the celebration of positive outcomes. The alternative isn't some sort of "natural" democratic process; it's power in the hands of autocrats who themselves are supported by an increasingly autocratic Russia. There's really no way that I can see to come up with a leftist justification of that outcome.

Tim Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory is enough to make any fan of Roald Dahl's most beloved novel cry — with delight at all the film gets so magically right, and with frustration that in spite of that the film is still nearly ruined by Burton's obsessions and a spectacularly miscalculated performance by star Johnny Depp.No one but Burton could possibly have so perfectly nailed Dahl's blend of whim … [Read more...]

Forum on the State and Development of The Greenhouse Gas Market
Forum on the State and Development of The Greenhouse Gas Market
Remarks of Eileen Claussen, President
Pew Center on Global Climate Change
International Emissions Trading Association's Annual Conference
Brussels, Belgium
December 5, 2002
Thank you for that kind introduction. I'm delighted to be here. I had the pleasure a year ago of welcoming IETA to Washington for its first annual conference. And I'm thrilled to have the opportunity to speak again, this year here in Brussels.
I'm reminded of a story about George Bernard Shaw. One of his plays was about to open in London and he sent two tickets to Winston Churchill with a note that read: "Enclosed are two tickets to the first-night performance of a play of mine. Bring a friend -- if you have one."
Churchill, never to be outdone, quickly wrote back: "Dear G.B.S. -- I thank you very much. Unfortunately, I am engaged that night, but could I have tickets for the second night… if there is one."
There was no doubt in my mind that IETA would be back for a second performance, and I very much appreciate the invitation. It has been our privilege at Pew to work with IETA on a number of fronts to encourage the development of an active, global greenhouse gas market. And I look forward to continuing that partnership as we move forward and promote real solutions to the critical challenge of global climate change.
Today I'd like to offer you some thoughts on where we stand in the effort to meet the challenge of climate change - in particular, where the United States stands in this effort - and what it is going to take to move us further along.
I'd like to start with some reflections on the most recent round of international negotiations, which concluded last month in Delhi. It's been said that blessed is the one who expects nothing, for he is never disappointed. That may well have been the case with COP 8. With the big issues on Kyoto implementation resolved in Bonn and Marrakech, but the Protocol not yet in force, expectations for Delhi were low. And they were met. The issues on the table in Delhi were largely technical and incremental in nature. And, even on these, the progress was modest.
But there were a couple of important outcomes. One was a greater emphasis on adaptation - a recognition that we cannot focus on mitigation alone. The second was the emergence of debate over next steps - the question of how we move forward beyond Kyoto's first commitment period. Long looming in the background, the issue was placed squarely on the table in Delhi, dominating both the dialogue and the political dynamics of the conference.
In the end, after much debate and negotiation, the Delhi Declaration itself was silent on the question of next steps. But the critical conversation about how we move toward a truly effective long-term framework has at least begun.
Delhi is also noteworthy because of the role played by the United States. Having played a more peripheral role in the negotiations immediately following its rejection of Kyoto, the United States began to reassert itself in Delhi, and in ways that were not necessarily helpful.
You'll recall that President Bush said he was rejecting Kyoto, in part, because it did not include commitments for developing countries. Yet in Delhi, the United States was suddenly arguing that it would be unfair to ask these same developing countries to take on emission targets.
On the surface, this might appear inconsistent if not hypocritical. But it is consistent in this sense: Although the administration is delivering one message at home and another abroad, both serve to impede progress. Whether the United States is harping on the lack of action by others, or deterring action by others, the goal remains the same: avoiding commitments of its own.
The U.S. stance in Delhi underscores an unsettling reality. On the one hand, we are in fact making significant headway against climate change. For all its flaws, Kyoto is a remarkable achievement and its entry into force will be a critical milestone. Even within the United States, there are encouraging signs. I'll elaborate on some of those in a few moments. But - and here's the unsettling part - the reality is that at the end of the day, we cannot meet the challenge of climate change without the full and willing participation of the United States. Until and unless the United States demonstrates a willingness to tackle its own emissions, it will be extraordinarily difficult for other developed countries to go beyond the commitments they made in Kyoto, and it will be next to impossible to persuade developing countries to take stronger action of their own.
So our prospects for success may hinge on two questions: Where is the United States today on the issue of global climate change? And what ultimately will it take to secure the full and willing participation of the United States in an effective long-term effort to meet this challenge?
First, I think it's important that we have absolutely no illusion about what we can and cannot expect from the present administration. It may be a sign of progress that the White House is no longer openly challenging the broad scientific consensus that global warming is real. We've moved past denial. The administration is busily recruiting companies for voluntary emission reduction programs. It is moving to improve the federal government's woefully inadequate emissions registry. It is engaging in bilateral efforts with a long list of countries.
These are all good things. But they fall far, far short of what is needed. And - forgive me if I seem a bit jaded - they seem meant to convey the appearance of progress, and thereby deter actions that would achieve genuine progress. I'm asked often whether I think the Bush administration can be persuaded to take stronger action on climate change. And I have to say that, barring a dramatic and unforeseen shift in U.S. politics, the answer is no. There is little to suggest that this administration is prepared to engage constructively on this issue either diplomatically or domestically.
That, however, is not to say that the United States is a lost cause. In fact, I would argue that, odd as it might seem, the United States is much further along in addressing this issue than it was the day President Bush took office. Climate change is getting more attention than ever - in the press, in corporate boardrooms, in state capitols, and even in Congress.
In the business sector, we've seen a steady shift from denial to acknowledgment; from acknowledgment to action; and, in some cases, from action to advocacy.
Many of you, I'm sure, are familiar with the voluntary actions being taken by leading companies to reduce their emissions. At last count, we'd identified more than 40 major companies that have publicly committed themselves to greenhouse gas reduction targets. Now the Business Roundtable, at the urging of the Administration, is trying to get all of its members to commit to voluntary action. Even Exxon-Mobil, a leading champion of the Administration's business-as-usual strategy, recently ran ads touting its efforts to get a handle on its emissions.
These voluntary steps of course are commendable, but they are hardly enough. The companies that are truly committed to tackling climate change know that we will never achieve the deep emission cuts we need unless everyone moves far enough, and fast enough, in the right direction. And that will happen only if the government requires it.
That is why the companies we work with at Pew recently called for the development of a comprehensive national climate strategy that is flexible and market-based but also has teeth - a strategy of mandatory, not voluntary, reductions. We need more companies that are prepared not just to acknowledge, and not just to act - but to advocate as well.
Even more dramatic are the efforts being launched by state governments. At least 42 of the 50 states have programs that, while not necessarily directed at climate change, have the potential to significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions. And some of these states, it's worth noting, have higher annual emissions than many industrialized countries. For instance, Texas emits more than France.
Last month we released a report taking a closer look at several state efforts, and the results are impressive, to say the least. Some states are tackling climate change head-on with comprehensive strategies aimed at reducing emissions across sectors. For instance, New Jersey, moved in part by the threat to its coast from rising sea levels, has set a goal of reducing emissions 3.5 percent below 1990 levels by 2005 and, through a combination of regulatory and voluntary initiatives, is well on its way toward meeting its target.
Other states are reducing emissions by diversifying their energy supplies, in particular through greater use of renewable energy. Twelve states have adopted renewable portfolio standards requiring utilities to obtain a share of their power from renewable sources. In Texas, for instance, the "oil rush" is now giving way to a "wind rush." It's estimated that the substitution of wind and other renewables for fossil fuels will reduce the state's CO2 emissions by nearly 2 million tons a year.
Nebraska was the first state to directly link agricultural policy with greenhouse gas reduction. It is pursuing carbon sequestration as a dual strategy - one that promotes better soil conservation, while also positioning Nebraska farmers to reap rewards in a national or international carbon market. Others agree - four other states passed similar sequestration laws last year.
Other states are establishing greenhouse gas registries. Some are requiring large generators to report their emissions. Still others are going the next step and mandating that large generators reduce their emissions. Massachusetts has a multi-pollutant law requiring six older power plants to reduce their CO2 emissions 10 percent over the next several years. The law, which allows for emissions trading, is expected to reduce emissions by 2 to 4 million tons a year.
And of course California, always at the leading edge in environmental policy, is now trying to regulate carbon emissions from cars and trucks. The state's new law is being challenged in court by the automakers, and by the Bush administration. But if it survives, it will have a profound impact well beyond California. If other states follow California's lead, it could effectively set the new standard for cars sold across the United States.
While different states are taking different approaches, our report found some common characteristics. First, these efforts are typically supported by broad, bipartisan coalitions. Second, they often succeed because states view climate mitigation less as a burden than as an opportunity. Third, many of these efforts have multiple drivers, and multiple benefits - from increased energy security to lower tax bills and cleaner air.
These state initiatives are encouraging. They are achieving real reductions. Actions in one state are being replicated in others. And while state action alone will not be enough, it will help move us where we need to go. It is common in the United States for federal policy to reflect lessons learned from state initiatives. And to the extent that a fragmented, state-by-state approach to climate policy leads to a patchwork of conflicting rules and regulations. this will increase pressure on Washington for a comprehensive, consistent national approach.
So what are the odds that we will see one? As I said earlier, you should not expect any new initiative on this issue from the Bush administration. The prospects, however, may be significantly better in Congress, where both Democrats and Republicans have shown more interest than ever before in addressing climate change. Indeed, three times as many legislative proposals were introduced in the last two years as in the previous two years.
Climate change emerged as one of the major sticking points in the most recent effort to produce a comprehensive energy bill. The Senate version of the bill included two bipartisan climate provisions - one establishing a new office in the White House charged with developing a long-term climate strategy, the other establishing a system for tracking and reporting greenhouse gas emissions that would start out as voluntary but could become mandatory after five years.
The outcome of the recent midterm election, which gave Republicans control of both houses, might suggest that the recent surge in climate activity will be short-lived. Certainly, the odds of moving any major climate legislation in the foreseeable future are not especially good; frankly, they weren't much better before the election. But I think there's a good chance that the climate change debate in Congress will be very much alive.
Indeed, the debate could soon become far more serious. As many of you may know, Senators John McCain and Joe Lieberman have been working on legislation to establish a greenhouse cap-and-trade system in the United States. The Pew Center has been deeply involved in this effort from the start. We provided extensive input as the bill was being drafted and arranged for company representatives and independent experts to provide input as well. As you can imagine, crafting a sound, workable trading bill that has any political viability is no simple matter. I'm sure each of you could find something to quibble with in this bill. But on the whole, at least as it's presently drafted, the bill represents a very credible start. It is economy-wide. Its targets are aggressive but not unreasonable. And it allows for flexibility through sequestration and international trading.
The bill is likely to be introduced early in the new year. And while it's not about to come to a vote anytime soon, it's not likely to disappear either. With the Republicans taking control of the Senate, Senator McCain will again be chair of the Commerce Committee, and he said the day after the election that climate change will be one of this top priorities.
So while the Bush administration will continue to favor appearances over action, we have companies calling for mandatory carbon reductions, we have states stepping into the leadership vacuum, and we may soon have a genuine debate in Congress over national climate policy. What will it take to build on this momentum and produce real, sustained action? What will it take to make the United States and full and willing partner in the global effort against climate change?
For starters, it will require the continued resolve of the international community. Other nations must not allow the United States to deter them from acting. Having resolved their differences on Kyoto, they must now move forward with it and make it a success. They must fulfill their commitments and they must give the market the chance to achieve the necessary reductions as cost-effectively as possible.
Kyoto's success is the most effective form of diplomatic pressure that can be brought to bear on the United States. It is essential. But at the end of the day, the only pressures that can tip the scale - the only pressures that can persuade Washington that it is time to act - are those that come from within.
Ultimately, this requires the engagement of the American public. As I said earlier, we've seen a gradual evolution within the business community on this issue: first, a company accepts that the issue is real; next, it takes steps to address its own contribution to the problem; and then it engages in the policy debate, calling on government to do its part. We need to promote the same kind of evolution within the American public.
Most Americans already accept that climate change is real. But they need a much clearer understanding of its causes - of the ways in which their everyday activities contribute to climate change; and of its consequences - of the threats it poses to their communities, to their natural surroundings, and to future generations.
Next, people must better understand the choices they can make to reduce their own contribution to climate change - how as consumers they can choose more energy-efficient cars and appliances; and how as investors they can encourage more responsible corporate behavior.
Finally, the American public must demand action on the part of their elected leaders. Often it has taken a dramatic event or circumstance to mobilize public support on an environmental issue - the Cuyahoga River caught fire, our skylines literally disappeared behind the haze, families were forced from their homes at Love Canal. Climate change is different. We can't afford to wait for a climate disaster. We have to make the case for taking action now, before the crisis is upon us.
It may seem as if I've strayed quite far from the topic of this conference: the state and development of the greenhouse gas market. But actually I think I may be addressing the very heart of the matter. To have a functioning market, it is not enough to create institutions and accounting procedures. You must also have demand. Right now, it is not there. Our challenge, I would submit, is to create it.
Thank you for listening. I would be happy to take your questions.

Holzwarth school built to last
By Sandy Bond
Laughter once filled the air as country school children played Crack the Whip, Fox and Geese, or where the boys cleaned off a spot near the front door and shot marbles during the half hour recess. Today the old one-room Holzwarth School stands silent. Only the gentle rustle of corn stalks with corn yet to be harvested breaks the autumn stillness. The bell that once beckoned children to classes is long gone from the tiny cupola.
The school differs in appearance from many rural schools of its age because it is painted red. Others of its era in nearby communities were painted white. Crowning the peak is the cupola or steeple. Some motorists have speculated it may have been a church. It's identical to many area rural schools as an expanse of windows were placed to the south to take advantage of the sun's rays, for light and perhaps, heat.
"We built them right," Ruben Bauer once told Pastor Mary Lou Gruebele of St. Thomas Lutheran of Java, when she inquired about the old school located west of Eureka.
Many intrepid souls over the years have ventured tentatively up the rickety steps into the vestibule, which was probably where the children hung their outerwear on nails and a shelf where they placed their lunchboxes. Gone, too, is the imposing oak teacher's desk directly behind it and the tiny student desks placed all in a row, progressing from the smallest for the youngest students to the rear for the older students. Perhaps there was a McGuffey ABC chart near the teacher's desk, and a map or two. The dusty aroma takes many former country school students back in time when the Three R's and history were paramount.
"Watch your step upon entering," Pastor cautioned. "There used to be blackboards in the basement. Maybe as other schools closed they bought some for winter basement games," she said.
Plaster has turned to powder with only bare lathe in expanses of most walls.
Marvin and Jeannie Hoffer of Lewistown, Mont., in the summer of 2003, traveled by, noticed the abandoned school and stopped to visit it. They noticed chokecherry bushes on the north side and took photos of it. They also noticed a white hard hat lying there and mentioned to friends and relatives in the area that it seemed strange.
"How did it get there?" they said. Tornados are not uncommon in this area. Could a tornado have deposited it there from places unknown? The name on the hardhat was Hugo Schmacher of Schumacher Plumbing. After checking on the Internet, they discovered he was born at Long Lake, S.D. on Sept. 27, 1916.
A former student who prefers anonimity did extensive research on the old school with much information available at the Campbell County Courthouse in Mound City:
Johannes and Margaretha Heiser in May 7, 1921, sold one acre for $20 to School District #43, located in Campbell County nine miles south of Artas, Township 126.
The school had no plumbing but there was a chute that fed a coal furnace in the basement. Children brought their own lunches from home and a barn was located to the north of the school for the pupils' horses. There were no buses or carpooling in those days.
She discovered the names of several dozen teachers who taught there from the late 1920s through the 1940s. Paychecks were minimal and the incentive for the most dedicated teacher could not have been monetary. In 1928-29 school year the teacher was Frieda Heiser. Herbert Heiser and Fred Ehrman taught from 1947-49. Eugene Were taught from 1938-39 and received a salary of $60 per month. When he returned for the 1939-40 school year he was given a $5 raise. When Bertha Schaefbauer replaced him for the 1940-41 school year, she received a salary of $45.
The school closed in 1965, and today it is reportedly owned by Connie Volk.

PATROL FOR PESTS - Warm spring days invite pests to feed. Bait, trap or hand pick snails and slugs. Spray neem to control spotted cucumber beetle and aphids. Spray Bacillus thuringiensis, a bacteria that kills green worms, on broccoli, cabbage and cauliflower if plants are attacked.
PLANT WARM SEASON VEGETABLES - This is the month to put in corn, summer and winter squash, cucumbers, pumpkin, beans and basil. Plant herbs.
IRRIGATE - As spring rains decrease, continue to irrigate newly planted shrubs and trees. Mold a basin around the trunks and soak plants deeply. once a week. Use soaker hoses or drip irrigation tubes if you are too busy to drag the hose about.
PLANT PERENNIALS - Add bright summer color to your landscape by planting cheerful perennials. The following are easy to grow: Nepeta, Shasta daily, coreopsis, gaillardia, daylily, delphinium, campanula, lupine, foxglove, sidalcea, columbine and penstemon.
PINCH 'EM - For bushier plants with more flowers, take your forefinger and thumb and tip pinch geraniums, fuchsias, marguerites, tall growing marigolds, snapdragons, dahlias and zinnias. Tip pinch rhododendrons to maintain shape. Remove old faded trusses from rhododendrons also.
